Migrating a custom built BusinessObjects 6.5 Java application to XI 3.1

Hi,

We have a Business Objects 6.5 system which needs to be migrated to XI 3.1.

In the present Business Objects 6.5 system, we have a custom built Java application deployed on WebLogic. Its got a single sign on also configured from the Java web page into InfoView. A fair deal of SDK customization has been done to achieve this.

My question is, if we need to set up the same portal to function similarly in Business Objects XI 3.1, what are the steps to be followed? Should the code be re-written to adhere to the XI 3.1 SDK and then re-deployed on the new server? Kindly correct me if I'm wrong.

I found this document: u201CMigrating Business Objects 6 Customized Applications to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2u201D which provides info on this. But, Iu2019m not yet able to figure out where to begin.

I do not have great exposure to writing code and deploying web applications. So Iu2019ll be very grateful for any help and pointers on this.

Many thanks!

Rahul

InfoView in BusinessObjects 6.5 was much simpler, and more easily modifiable. The SDKs associated with 6.5 was much simpler, since it supported only to reporting types and limited scheduling functionalities.

It's a lot more complex with XI - so much so that there's currently no support for customization or code-level modification of InfoView.

Sincerely,

More than likely it will need to be a complete rewrite.

At the top of this forum there is a post called [Read Before Posting - Where to find Business Objects Java SDK Resources|; which you should read.

It has links to various Java SDK information and samples.

I would suggest starting there.
