Upgrading custom reports definitions

If you have defined custom reports, you must export the XML report definition file before migrating an upgrade. After the migration, you must re-import the report definitions.

1. In the Oracle Central Designer Administrator application, export the XML report definition file. For more information, see the Oracle Central Designer Administrator Guide.
2. Migrate the Oracle Central Designer software.
3. Modify the XML file exported in the first step, replacing any instances of assembly="PhaseForward.Designer.ServerCore" with assembly="Oracle.Designer.ServerCore".
4. Re-import the report definitions on each Oracle Central Designer application server:
   1. Copy the updated custom reports definition file to the following location, overwriting the existing file:
      <designer_root>\DBSchema\_Last\Datainstaller\DesignerReportsDefinitions.xml
      In the previous location, <designer_root> is the root directory of the Oracle Central Designer installation.
   2. From the <designer_root>\bin directory, run the UpdateReports.bat file.
      The UpdateReports.bat file updates the definitions of the custom reports in the database.
