Uninstall the Report Templates

If you are upgrading the Report Server from r12.0, uninstall the existing report templates before installing the new report templates. If you are upgrading the Report Server from r12.0 SP1, this step is not required.

Important! Existing reports are deleted when you uninstall the report templates. If you require access to existing reports, use the Administrative UI to view the reports and export them to a temporary location. For more information about viewing reports, see the Policy Server Administration Guide.
