Import Wizard The migration process uses a number of utilities to aid in the migration from your current deployment: the import wizard, database migration utility, data source migration utility, and inline upgrade capabilities.
Import Wizard This utility allows administrators to move content from a source system to a destination system. In the case of Business Objects XI, the supported source systems include Seagate Info 7.5; Crystal Enterprise 8, 8.5, 9, 10, and Business Objects Enterprise 6.x. Administrators can select users, groups, folders, categories, Crystal reports, Business Objects Web Intelligence documents, universes, and connections. Universes and connections are automatically brought over to Business Objects XI depending on their associated documents.
