Hi
I need to export a new universe i.e. from test environment to production.

I created Reports with the old connection i.e. in the Test environment.

What properties needs to be changed in the reports ("in Test environment") in order to publish them to the corporate repository with out having to recreate them in the production environment again.

So that the people having the access to the "Production environment" database can access the reports.

Can anyone help me!!!

Change the universe name.
View data - in the definition tab replace the testuniverse name with production universe name
 
There is an alternative to the solution nimmy mentions.

Create alternative accounts in supervisor and switch the connections for these to the production environment.

The use of the account will then determine connection to either test or production...

I think I am not getting you...
I exported the universe to the production environment with a new connection. I have the two universes with the same name one in the Test environment and the other one in the production environment.

I created my reports using the Test environment universe before exporting the universe to the Production environment.

I need to make the reports created using the Test environment universe to work in the Production environment.

So i think for that we either need to change connection properties for each and every report in order for them to connect to the production environment universe or else replicate the reports using the current production environment universe, which would be tedious.

Is there any way to get the reports(i.e. which work in the test environment) working in the production environment.

Are there any specific properties that needs to be changed for the reports in order to get connected to the production environment universe rather than the Test environment universe?

Keep Smiling
