migration from BusinessObjects Enterprise 6.x to SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1

[Former Member]

hi,

I am in a migration from 6.5 to XI 3.1. I have a question about it, when you do the migration with import wizard, first you have to have installed XI 3.1.

I was thinking that you could export the .BIAR file with Import Wizard connected to 6.5 and the next step could be import to XI 3.1.

I tell you that because I tried the migration. In the source I put the BusinessObjects Enterprise 6.x and in the destination environment the wizard asked me only for a BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1.

Hi

You can migrate from live 6.x system to live 3.1 system.

For more details refer "Importing Information From BusinessObjects 5.x or 6.x" section(pa ge number 26) in http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_bip_importwiz_en.pdf.

You cannot export to BIAR if your source is 6.5 system. BIAR files can only be created from Xi3.1 sources.
