For the new reports and extended IT landscape macros to work properly, you must migrate IT landscape data you created with version 7.1 SR2010_5.
Procedure
Create a backup copy of your database. This will enable you to restore the current status at any time.
Log in as a system user.
Adjust the configuration file to meet your requirements, if necessary.
This file configures IT landscape macros and reports and defines whether assignments are allowed. If you configured the file yourself, you must change the new, extended configuration file again after installing the update. The old file was automatically saved to the backup directory of your ARIS Server installation.
If reports or macros cannot be run correctly and you are prompted to update the filter, run the IT landscape administration - Update filter report. Update all method filters that users can use to log in. This transfers all method extensions.
Run the IT landscape administration - Create PSU group structure report. This report is run for a database and generates the new group structure for all existing process support units (PSUs). Existing access privileges are transferred.
Run the IT landscape administration - Output access privileges report. This report provides an overview of the as-is status of access privileges assigned.
Create a user group, for example, Administrator, to which you assign all IT landscape administrators.
Assign this user group the User management function privilege.
Run the IT landscape administration - Assign administration access privileges report and assign the user group the Write access privilege.
This gives all IT landscape administrators the required access to all existing process support units and all those added in the future.
If necessary, run the IT landscape administration - Output access privileges report again and check the assignments based on the report output from point 6.
If you have changed the configuration file in order to limit the selection of assignments allowed, log in again as an IT landscape administrator with an updated method filter and run the IT landscape administration - Remove invalid assignments report. This report checks whether all assignments are still valid based on the new configuration file. There is an option to have invalid assignments deleted.
The IT landscape macros and reports of the current version can now be used.
