Hi Paolo,

You can import all the BO 5.x universes to BO XIR2 environment using Import Wizard.

Click on Start>All Programs>BusinessObjects XI Release 2>BusinessObjects Enterprise>Import Wizard to start the Import Wizard tool.

In this wizard, you only have to select the Source environment as BusinessObjects Enterprise 5.x and provide authentication details and Destination Environment as BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2.

The import wizard will prompt you for other options like universes, reports to be imported.

Please let me know if you are facing any difficulty while using import wizard.

Thanx for your answer,

it's possible to import all type of universe or not?

for example, it's possible to import standard universe?

what about universe created on SAP BW Cubes, and then enriched with join with other tables?

Hi Paolo,

Its possible to import universes created for SAP BW queries. Migration of these universes is only possible from BO 11.x environment to BO 12.x environment. BusinessObjects Integration Kit for SAP must be installed in order to use SAP BW Server as a data source from WebIntelligence, Crystal Reports,Desktop Intelligence and OLAPI products.

Please note that BOXIR2 deski reports does not support SAP BW universes. So after migration, there might be some issues.
