Migrating Users to a New Version of Oracle BI Publisher

If you are upgrading your version of Oracle BI Publisher from a previous version, after the installation, you must migrate the WebLogic users from an existing version to the new server.

To migrate users to a new version of Oracle BI Publisher:

  1. Export the user information from the existing BI Server.

    1. Log on to the BI Publisher WebLogic Admin Console.

    2. Select Security Realm.

    3. Select Export from the Migration tab.

    4. Enter the location for the exported files.

    5. Click Save.

  2. Import the user information to the new server.

    3. Select Import from the Migration tab.

    4. Enter the location of the exported files.

  3. Download and import the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Reports for BI Publisher.

    Note:

    Existing reports from the previous version of BI Publisher will not run successfully; you must manually convert them to the new version.

    For personal reports, this is done when you select an existing report and use the Save, Save As, Copy, Promote, or Sync options on the Report Definition tab.

    For shared reports, this is done when you select an existing report and use the Copy, Reserve, and Sync options on the Report Definition tab.
