Does Report Conversion Tool modify existing Universe?

27 Views

Hi There,

I have a 6.5 system and am testing out some migrations of some Full Client documents and the associated Universe (which links to other Universes) to a fresh XI 3.0 system. I tried the following:

1. Imported the derived Universe (which automatically selects the other Universes it imports), and 3 Full Client reports to XI 3.0 using one run of Import Wizard.

2. Ran imported Deski reports -- they ran successfully.

3. Tried to create a new simple Webi document based off of derived Universe, this was successful.

4. Ran Report Conversion Tool on the 3 Deski reports -- two were fully converted, one was partially converted. Looking at the logs, the problem was a field was hidden -- not a big deal I imagine. They 3 new Webi reports were published to XI 3.0

5. Tried again to create a new simple Webi document based off of derived Universe, and got the error:

Universe not found. See your Business Objects administrator. (Error: WIS 00501)

So it looks as though the Report Conversion process modifies that derived Universe? Does anyone know of a resolution to this? I am going to experiment with re-importing the kernels again.

Thanks!

Allan
