Unable to Import LCMBIAR which Contains Publication

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We are using BO 4.0 SP6. We are trying to backup our file from production server to DR server.

At first, we exported all the reports in one LCMBIAR (we have selected all the dependencies) and imported in DR but failed.

So we suspect their is an issue about the file size, therefore we tried to export folder by folder and import again in DR server. All the LCMBIAR files are successful imported except for a LCMBIAR file which contains publication.

Is there any limitation? Please advice.

Hi Sid,

I'm referring to promotion job failed.

When try to see what is causing the failure, it shows the message as below,

Commit Status=Commit attempted and failed., Promotion Status=Failure : Object has failed to promote. Please see the log for more details

Can guide where to search for the log?

Hi Kim,

When you say the reports in DR failed, was it the promotion import job that failed? Or were the reports not able to open?

Are there any errors observed?

Hi Kim,

There are few knows issues when we try to promote publications through Promotion management. Have you tried with live promotion instead of LCMBIAR. Please refer below KBAs for know issues for this.

Most of the issues were in BI 4.0 and should be resolved in BI 4.1. I would suggest to try direct promotion instead of LCMBIAR and let us know the error message if it fails.
