Synopsis:
This session will cover the main aspects of migrating from XI 3.1 to BI 4.0/BI 4.1. It will review the key milestones and decisions that need to be made and will review the major components of an effective migration plan: from the setting up of the new BI 4.0/BI 4.1 system through the process of migrating the content from the source system to the process of go-live on the new platform. Main topics will include
- Installing single/distributed BI 4.0/BI 4.1 server and client tools
- Auditing your existing system to determine the scope of the migration
- Building the project plan – order of events and dependencies
- Managing public and private content
- Migration tools – the Upgrade Manager – usage and parameters
- Configuring & Testing the new platform
- Go-Live activities and dependencies
- Managing the new BI 4.0/BI4.1 environment – how does this compare to XI 3.1
This session will be delivered through seminar, demonstration and hand-on exercises. Some key migration reference material will also be made available to attendees at the end of the class.
