Does anyone know the best approach to migrate a larger BI 4.0 deployment to BI 4.1? Based on the post below, the recomended approach to migrate from 4.0 to 4.1 is to perform a fresh install on new hardware and use the LCM to migrate the objects over. However, it notes that the LCM packages should be limited to 100 objects and that this approach is not recommended for larger installations. If that is the case, am I stuck performing an in-place upgrade? I would much preffer to perform a fresh install.

what would stop you from doing in-place upgrade ? (other than the slide above)
LCM CLI can be used to move thousands of objects.
And UMT with unsupported by SAP option also can be used for moving content BI4 to Bi4.1

Thanks for the reply Denis.
I. - good reasons when newhardware/OS are an option. Upgrade is still a valid scenario and properly done should be reliable.
II. -- LCM command line supposed to help in moving large number of objects.
III. UMT has unsupported command line switch that makes it posible to use it between Bi4.x systems.
It was introduced for troubleshooting only and is not supported by SAP.

Thank you for sharing your previous experience Oleg. It sounds like you used the LCM to migrate a database of over 10,000 objects? Do you recall how long this import took? We would be migrating over 30,000+ objects.
It sounds like I just need to get the dev environment installed and start running some tests.
Hi,
i would go for the in-place Upgrade here. Afterwards manually add the Features you need via the Windows Control Panel.
I you follow the following Best Practices you should be fine:
