Hi everyone...
I've got a couple of hundred reports written in 6.5 that I am moving to our XI 3.1 environment. The universe on which they were built already exists in the XI environment with a different name.
For example: (actual names changed for my own paranoia of giving away top secret information)
Universe in 6.5 is called MY_DATA
Universe in XI is called My Database
We are following the workflow as below:
Save them for all users in 6.5.
Open them in Deski in our Development XI environment where we have 2 universes, one with the old name and one with the new name.
Change the universe on each of the queries in the report to the newly named universe.
Refresh all worked ok
Save for all users again. (We should now have a DeskI report using the new name universe)
Open the report in DeskI in our production environment (where we only have the newly named universe)
We then get the problem if we refresh the report via DeskI OR the Viewer in infoview.
The problem seems to indicate that the report object has retained the link to the old universe.
In Deski when the prompt window appears if I select the Values button I get the message:
(MY_DATA) You are not authorized to use this universe. (UX0003)
That's because it doesn't exist.
If I write a new report it our production environment with the same prompts it works all ok which makes me think the universe is all ok and the problem is with something in the report. I've tried purging all the queries which doesn't help either.
The only solution I currently have is to drop all the prompts from the couple of hundred reports move them all across and manually add them back in! Anyone got any better ideas?? please?
thanks
Nick
