Hi All,
We are planning to migrate from BOXI R3.1 to BI 4.0. I have heard that extension of Universe in BI 4.0 is .unx. Following are my question realted:
1- Which tool needs to be used to migrate Universe and reports from BOXI R3.1 to BI 4.0? Will it be Import Wizard?
2- If the extension of the Universe will change from .unv to .unx than all the webi reports will get manually pointed to this .unx Universe?
3- If it will not get manually pointed to .unx than do we need to manually repoint all the reports to .unx?
Please help me with the above answers.
Many thanks
Regards,
Deepak
1- Which tool needs to be used to migrate Universe and reports from BOXI R3.1 to BI 4.0? Will it be Import Wizard?
You need to use Upgrade Management Tool, please see Platfrom Upgrade guide at http://help.sap.com
2- If the extension of the Universe will change from .unv to .unx than all the webi reports will get manually pointed to this .unx Universe?
Extension does not change.
SAP BI4.0 has a new universe type with extension UNX, all the original (UNV) universes do not change and work the same and migrate as unv files. All webi reports still point to the same universes.
3- If it will not get manually pointed to .unx than do we need to manually repoint all the reports to .unx?
You do not need to do any of this. All your original webi reports and original universes will work just the same.
You can start experimenting with new universe tools and format and create new webi reports based on new universes if you want.
But you do not have to.

Hi Denis,
Thanks for you valuable and helpful answer.
I got this doubt while I was reading a document wherein the below point was mentione:
"UNV file stays and a new UNX file is created. All associated reports (Webi and Crystal) are still pointing to the UNV file. Reports need to be manually moved to UNX file."
If you can understand anything what above line is trying to say, can you please help me with it?

Deepak
A little context would help
As is the line is probably from UNV to UNX conversion piece. Which is totaly optional.
You can convert UNV's into UNX's , but you do not have to.
When you convert UNV to UNX, the UNV file remains and all reports still point to it. If you want reports to point to UNX, you'll have to manualy re-point them.
But again - you do not need to do any of this.
However, if the universe objects do not have the same internal IDs in both the .unv and the .unx, just changing the universe won't work as you'll have to map the two (I've run into this issue....)
Also, the RESTful Web Services SDK provides the functionality to change the universe of the individual data providers in a Webi report as well as getting the information you would need to re-map any objects that don't match.

Hi,
my company like to switch to the new UVX format and we want to re-point the reports to the new format.
What is the best way to do this with the lowest time-consuming?

Jan
