Upgrading

Upgrading to BMC Reporting Foundation 4.0 involves installing a new deployment and copying your content and system data from existing deployment of previous version.

You can install the new deployment on a different host or same host (existing deployment of previous version) provided it is a 64-bit operating system and all the System requirements are met.

When you no longer need the old deployment you can uninstall it.

The Upgrade Management Tool is used for exporting contents (user accounts, groups, reports, universes, security, and other objects), and upgrading it to the most recent version. This tool provides the option of Complete Upgrade and Incremental Upgrade. While performing an Incremental Upgrade, you can select the objects which you want to upgrade from the source, whereas in a Complete Upgrade the entire source is exported. Source and Destination of upgrade can be a live Configuration Management Server or a BIAR (Business Intelligence Archive Resource) file.

You must have the Client Tools for BusinessObjects installed on a Windows computer.
