To transfer report definitions from a PPM 5 client to a PPM 9.9 client, please proceed as follows.
Procedure
Identify the directory in which the report definitions of the client of the PPM 5 installation are stored. To do so, open the file Templates_settings.properties in the directory <PPM5_HOME>/config/<client> and find the setting Reports.BaseDirectory.
Now, identify the directory in which the report definitions of the PPM 9.9 installation are stored. To do so, open the file Templates_settings.properties in the directory <PPM99_DATA>/config/<client> and find the setting Reports.BaseDirectory.
Copy the content from the base report directory of the client of the PPM 5 installation to the base report directory of the client of the PPM 9.9 installation, which is not yet available there.
Identify the directory in which the report images of the client of the PPM 5 installation are stored. To do so, open the file Report_settings.properties in the directory <PPM5_HOME>/config/<client> and find the setting reports.images_directory. The images for the umg_en client are stored in the directory /config/umg_en/report/images.
Now, identify the directory in which the report images of the PPM 9.9 installation are stored. To do so, open the file Report_settings.properties in the directory <PPM99_DATA>/config/<client> and find the setting reports.images_directory.
Copy the content from the client directory of the PPM 5 installation to the client directory of the PPM 9.9 installation, which is not yet available there.
If required, also copy the following directories if you have made any changes to any of their content. The directories are created during PPM installation with the default content. The relevant paths are indicated in the file Report_settings.properties in the directory <PPM5_HOME>/config/<client> or <PPM99_DATA>/config/<client>.
/config/client/report/templates /config/client/report/xsl /config/client/report/resource (used for older reports) /config/client/report/styles (used for older reports)
For example, to use reports in report automation, they must be registered in the Administration module after the PPM user interface has been launched. See also chapter Procedure after conversion.
