Hi All,

Client wants to know the complete user migration plan for BO 5.1 to BO Xi R2.
What procedure should we follow?
What should we include in this plan?
Can any one give some suggestion on this?

Thanks.

Why don’t you go for BOXI3/BOXI4 version?

You can import the users through Importwizard from BO5.1 version

Arjun,

Actually we are going to migrate all the BO 5.1 reports to BO Xi R2.
So client wants to first set up everything including report and users in R2 and from there we will migrate it to r3.

This is not good practise. Best option is BO5.1 to BOX3.1.

Everything is written and well explained within the official documentation called migration from BO5 and 6 to XIR2.

NO you should recreate it from scratch.

#11

actually I have not created it before and I am creating it for 1st time so want general idea that what step and which things should I take into consideration to make it better.

I searched in google but not got any hint.

So if you can give me some general idea then it will be helpful.
