Migrating Reports in Oracle Cloud Instances

The migration process involves three main steps:

1. Archiving the report and data model

2. Un-archiving the report and data model

3. Pointing the report to the correct data model

To migrate reports:

1. Navigate to Tools > Report and Analytics.

2. Browse to the folder where the report and data model are placed.

3. Create a folder in Shared Folders > Custom Folder and name it as “FPRCWACS”.

4. Use the files in the package that have “.xdm.catalog” and “xdo.catalog” as extension.

5. Un-archive the report and data model.

6. Un-archive the files in the new instance.

7. Navigate to the folder created in step 3 to upload the report.

8. Click Unarchive in the Tasks pane.

The system will prompt you to browse and upload the file from your desktop. Make sure to select the “.xdo.catalog” file as the report and “.xdm.catalog” file as the data model.

9. Point the report to the correct data model.

10. After uploading the report and/or data model, select the report and click Edit.

11. Click Search to navigate to the correct folder and select the data model.

12. Save the changes.

If the report is not generated:

1. Generate sample data from the data model.

2. Save the data to create the report.

3. Select the same folder and override the existing “xdm.catalog” file.
