I am in a Test phase of our implementation of Crystal Enterprise 9. We are upgrading from Seagate Info7. This is how I would like to handle the Production portion.
1) I would like to perform our Production install long before we actually cut over (maybe 3 weeks).
2) I will import all reports from Seagate Info 7 to CE9 and put them in my revamped folder structure.
3) I would then like to train users and have users test the application on the production machine.
4) I would like to not have to perform a full install of CE9 at the weekend of cutover, so...
5) At the weekend of cutover I would like to delete everything from the FRS input and output folders, ensure all reports are not in any of the CE9 folders, and re-import the reports/instances from Seagate Info 7 to CE9.
6) Move the imported reports into my revamped CE9 folder structure.
7) Re-create my recurring reports and I should be good to go.
Can anyone out there confirm that this would work and maybe guide me on possible problems with this scenario?
Regards,
Bessebo
