Backing up custom reports

You can also back up any specific reports before upgrading to the new universe. This helps when you have created any custom reports. When you take backup of these reports, it becomes easy to retrieve them to the new universe.

To back up any specific report

1. From the Start menu, select Programs > BusinessObjects XI 3.1 > BusinessObjects Enterprise > BusinessObjects Enterprise Java InfoView.
2. On the Log On to InfoView page, in the User name and Password boxes, enter your logon credentials, and click Log On.
3. On the InfoView home page, in the toolbar, click Document List.
4. Expand Public Folders > BMC Service Assurance > ProactiveNet Performance Management > Event and Impact Management, and select the appropriate reports that you want to take backup.
5. On the toolbar, click Organize > Copy.
6. On the left pane, select the My Favorites folder, and on the toolbar, click Organize > Paste.

After importing the new universe, you can paste these reports to the respective folders of the new universe.
