Hi Venki,

NOT possible, unless you decide to un-install it from current drive and re-install it on another.

Not just BO any software, I guess it wont be possible. Even if you take a backup of registery key and restore it later it would still point to older locations for eg: If there is a KEY Value say Install path = "C:/Program file" so you will have to point these also to Drive.

So the best way to change the drive would be to take a BACKUP of your CMS DB and FILESTORE, Then Uninstall it completely, Delete the registery keys and install folder. Then install it on D drive ,

Restore and CMS DB and Filestore then Pint the SIA to this.

Venki,

   It is possible but it would be possible, high-level steps:

  • Back-up of key folder
  • Un-install of BI Platform
  • Re-Install NEW on Drive D:\
  • Restore and reinitialize servers
  • NO Objects LOST is the server name stays the same
