Upgrade from BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 to BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP5 › Update Imported Events

Update Imported Events

After you import events to a destination CMS, run the EventUpdater script. This script updates the imported events by associating them with the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.x event servers that they are to run on.

If you do not run this script, reassociate the events with event servers manually by navigating to every imported event and associating it with an event server.

If you are importing events from more than one event server, run the script once for each event server from which you are importing the events.

On a Windows computer, the script is named EventUpdater.bat and is located in the following folder by default:

CA Business Intelligence_installation_directory\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86\scripts\

On a UNIX computer, the script is named eventupdater.sh and is located in the following folder:

CA Business Intelligence_installation_directory/bobje/

The following list describes the parameters for the script.

-oldeventserver

The friendly name of the event server on the system that the event was exported from.

-neweventserver

The name of the event server on the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.x system that you want to associate the event with.

-cms

The name of any CMS on the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.x destination system.

-user

The username for a BusinessObjects Enterprise administrator account.

-password

The password for the BusinessObjects Enterprise administrator account.

-authentication

The authentication method. The accepted values are secEnterprise, secWinAd, and secLdap.
