Upgrade Considerations

Review the details in the Installation Guide for complete information about installing and upgrading the BusinessObjects server. Use this section as a guideline to plan your upgrade. The following installation and upgrade use cases are covered:

• Upgrade from a version earlier than v12.1 to v13
• Upgrade from v12.1 or v12.1.1 to v13.0
• New Installation of v13.0

Upgrade actions:

• If you customized or changed any out-of-the-box reports, make a backup copy of the modified reports. Place the copies in a separate custom folder under the Public Folders/CA Reports/CA Clarity directory. The out-of-the-box reports are overwritten when the new v13.0 reports are installed.
• If you used any Clarity universe objects, create a custom universe and link it to the Clarity universe. The Clarity universe is overwritten when the new v13.0 universes are installed.
