Export All Report Objects from BOE XI

[checkai]

Is there a way to export all .rpt objects from Business Objects Enterprise?

Hi,
Export to where? They physically exist in the Input FRS ( though hard to find and identify since their names are different from what you see in CMC)

Are the original ones saved anywhere before being published?

I would just like to export them to a network location because we're going to be shutting down the server for good, but want backups in case.

Hi,
The published reports reside in the FRS/Input directory but are oddly named and not very easy to move, UNLESS you relocate the entire FRS directory structure to a new server and reinstall BOE on that server - 'point' the Input and Output servers to that new location and, after migrating the CMS database they should all be available.

This is not a simple step, so, instead,use Crystal Reports to open the reports directly from the BOE Repository and save them to a new location - that way the names, etc stay the same as they are in the CMC.
