Note

Migration is not required for the following upgrade path:

  • 9.5.02 to 9.6.00

The procedures provided herein ensure the safe and successful transfer of configuration settings and customizations from the earlier version to the new version.

When you upgrade to BMC ProactiveNet Report Engine version 9.6.00, you have an option to import the latest BMC ProactiveNet Performance Management universe and reports into the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise automatically. It eliminates the manual process of importing the universe into SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise using the Import Wizard. BMC recommends that you import the universe when you upgrade to BMC ProactiveNet Report Engine version 9.6.00.

If you have upgraded the Report Engine from version 9.5.02 to 9.6.00, you can install the Report Engine version 9.6.00 on another host with the same database user. For installing the second BMC ProactiveNet Report Engine, see Step-4-Installing-BMC-ProactiveNet-Report-Engine.

Before upgrading, you must first back up your existing universe and other folders. After upgrading the Report Engine, you must configure the Oracle client and SAP BusinessObjects as describe in Configuring-BMC-ProactiveNet-Report-Engine-database-connection-with-SAP-BusinessObjects-Enterprise.
