Bi 4.1 Upgrade - promotion mgmt from sp 5.3 to sp 3

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are planning to upgrade our dev systems from BI 4.1 Sp3 to BI 4.1 Sp5. As we have  lot of developments going on in dev system with tight schedule,  can we promote the contents ( reports) on BI 4.1 Sp 5 dev systems to  BI 4.1 SP3 Quality and prod systems ?

Upgrading Q and P systems to Sp 5 may take a while ,I am checking the possibility promiting the contents without impact between SP5 and SP3 systems.

Thanks in advance for your advise !

Raj,

    You would use the higher version to pull.  You can only promote from lower to higher, never higher to lower.

Configurer Promotion Manager on BI 4.1 w/ SP5 to pull objects from BI 4.1 w/ SP3.

Thank you Ajay !

We were able to promote the contents from  SP 3 to Sp 5.. somehow when we pull from Sp 5 systems , promotion job failed. We had use to SP3 promotion jobs to push it to  SP5.

there is known bug is SP5 and patch1,2,3 , which you cannot use the promotion managment .

It was addressed in SP5 patch4 and above.

Always from lower to higher versions. You might see some issues if you do it with your approach.

But this practice is not recommended.
