Testing the Results of the Web Catalog Upgrade

This task is a step in the Process of Upgrading the Analytics Web Catalog.

This step ensures that the upgraded reports and the new preconfigured reports are functional and render correct results within the new, merged Web catalog. This step is typically performed by visually inspecting the final results of the complete end-to-end upgrade process.

For upgraded reports, the preferred approach for comparison purposes is to have side-by-side environments, and have users review specific dashboard content between the two environments. Examine not only the look and feel of the application but also the data contained in the reports to make sure the content remains the same. It is recommended that you request users to use various elements of the user interface to validate results, such as global prompts, column selectors, report filters, drills, and navigations, as they normally do on a day-to-day basis.

Also review the overall visibility and administrative settings in the new Web catalog to ensure they are correct. Pay careful attention to the visibility rules that are established for any content that was migrated during the upgrade. You might have to manually adjust these settings.
