Upgrading from BO XIR2 to 3.1

system · April 20, 2010, 2:34pm

Hello Folks,
We are using approximately 200 reports which are in crystal and we are planning to upgrade to XI 3.1. My question is that XI 3.1 comes with crystal reports 2008. And do we need to convert all the Crstyal XI R2 reports to Crystal 2008? Can we still upload the Crystal XIR2 reports to BO CMC Enterprise XI R3 after upgrading?

Thanks a lot.

We did this migration recently and with everything already in the XI R2 CMS, a migration to XI 3.1 went off without a hitch. It’s a good time to flip developers to 2008 in that move.

BO XI 3.1 doesnt come up witCrystal Reports, both are having diff licensing option.
Its upto you to take a call that ou wanr Crystal reports in XI R2 or 2008, i think CR XI R2 end of life is in near future so better you can plan it accordingly
You can upload Crystal Reports XI R2 to BO XI 3.1 CMC without any difficulty,same as with BO XI R2

Hope this helps
