Business Objects upgrade: Content Migration order

[former_member714184]

Hello,

We are upgrading Business Objects from 4.1 SP3 to 4.2 SP8, question is when migrating the content is there any order that we need to follow? i.e. first migrate Users, User groups, Profiles, Universes, Reports

We are using Promotion Manager tool to migrate the content.

Thanks,

Aravind

Michael answered your question, but I just wanted to give you a heads up.

4.2 SP8 is no longer in patch support so no further fixes will be supplied so if you run into any problems after migrating to it, you will not be able to get a fix. You would have to go to SP9.

4.2 SP9 is the last support pack for 4.2 and the only one that will be getting fixes from now on.

4.2 mainstream maintenance ends Dec 31, 2022 and there will be no further patches released and it will go into Priority 1 support until 2024.

4.3 is the current major release with SP2 coming out in December. It is where all innovation and updates will be going.
