Hi Techies,

Can any one let me know, How to upgrade/migrate BIWS created in web intelligence using a BIAR file into the new server. I tried searching for the related documents in the SCN but could not find any information related to my scenario. In my case i cannot go with the live-to-live scenario, At any cost i need to go with the LCM BIAR file only. I have created a BIAR file in my source server which contains (Universe, Reports, Connctions, Dashboards and Qaaws queries) and imported to my destination server, All the content of BIAR file got imported successfully but when i tested the BI services has not migrated and is showing the same WSDL URL as that of source server (Same Host Name of Source Server).

Please provide me the exact way to deploy my BIWS through BIAR file to my destination server. Am on SAP BO 4.0 SP06.

Thanks,

Vinod Kumar A

Hi Vinod,

it is not best practise to use the serer name in the BIWS url in DB.

In such scenarios to avoid migration issue, it would be easier if you are use the context urls(remove server name from URL) rather than specifying the entire url.

Refer my answer in the below thread for the same with screenshots.

Hi Prasad,

Thanks for your quick response.

I have already migrated all my dashboards using context url's and they are working fine. My question is how to migrate the BIWS which we have created on top of report blocks which are not physically migrating i.e they show the same host name in the destination server too after migrating.

Please let me know if you need further clarification.

Hi Vinod,

we can change the url when we use Live to Live using LCM or UMT.

But in your case, you would like to move to BIAR and migrate it. Hence i would suggest use UMT

1)

First implement the below note to  migrate objects between two BI4.x environments with help of UMT.

1797144 - Unable to use Upgrade Management Tool to migrate objects between two BI4.x environments

2) Select the BIWS in OLD server and Take the BIAR file and keep it in a drive -- UMT

3) Select BIAR file and Import to New server.

Next screen it will prompt for the parameters. update New Web application server details and finish.

This will change and migrate the BIWS.

Coming to your BIWS, even though is the BIWS are still pointed to OLD server. same will be working with the new server as well.

as you have used the context url in the Dashboard, no need to worry about the BIWS  web application server url.

you can also find the WSDL in the environment by running the below url

Use URL http://<hostname>: <port>/dswsbobje/qaawsservices/wsdlGenerator and Regenerate 1. all the WSDLs

Hope this answers your question.

Hello - since this doesn't deal with an SAP data source (or appears not to) I moved to the BI Platform space for faster response.
