Whenever we setup the testing environment for a upgrade, it is a nightmare for us to update the database connection in every single report and the dynamic filters.... we have more than 300 reports.
I believe I am not the only one who have this issue, I wonder if there is any way to update the database connection using the SDK. Could you share on how to achieve this?

Hi Don,
If there is an working tool, I would love to use it.
which migration tool are you refer to?
In the Start Menu in BOBI server, we have:
32-bit ODBC Data Source Administrator
Central Configuration Manager
SAP BusinessObjects BI platform Central Management Console
SAP BusinessObjects BI platform Java BI Launch Pad
Upgrade management tool
WDeploy
Business View Manager
Data Federation Administration Tool
Information Design Tool
Query as a Web Service Designer
Report Conversion Tool
Translation Management Tool
Universe Design Tool
Web Intelligence Rich Client
Widgets
my scenario is:
For each major upgrade release, there are 300+ reports that are deployed to the QA testing environment. how to deploy these rpt files to QA, ie. update the connections for reports and dynamic filters?
After the QA, we need to deploy them to UAT.. of course, if everything is good, we need to deploy them to production, which is in other isolated environment, no connection to QA or UAT.
This is a very painful process to update the connections for reports and connections for dynamics filter inside these reports... 300+ reports, it ends up we needs to update 500+ connections, one by one...
changing: database server name, database name, username and password.....
