Upgrading a repository is easy. Just run Supervisor and it upgrades it automatically.

Doing what you want is actually impossible. You can’t merge several repositories together. The best you can do is to export users in to a file. Then edit the heck out of the files so that it gives you the groupings you want. Then import the file into the new repository.

I think you can just migrate users and ther right in the way Steve explained.

If no of users and group are not lot better to migrate one large repository and then do manual creation of users for others.

You have to import universe with personal connection with GS of OLD rep.
Import Reports with GS of old Rep.
export universe to proper user group with GS of New Rep
change connection
export report to proper user group with GS of New Rep.

If you have 1 repository, then you can simply upgrade it. There is no migration.

If you have 7 repositories, there is NOTHING you can do to merge them. All you can do is export/import user ids. But, rights are not going to come with them. There is no solution for this.

Hi,

In the supervisor file menu u have a option called export–>user/group,
using that u can export and using import–>user/group u can import user or group from another repository.

Hi Dinesh,

In this case only user and groups will get transfer not their rights?
means whether he is General supervisor or user or superviosr etc

Thx

There is no way to transfer user rights from 1 repo to another. You could likely hack around and do it via some sql, but you’d be better to do it correctly.
