Run the Xephr Studio.
In the pull-down menus, select Server -> Connect
Connect to the Xephr repository
from which you are transferring the entity.
The Explorer Tree for that repository
will be displayed.
In the pull-down menus, select Server -> Connect
Connect to the Xephr repository
to which you are transferring the entity.
The Explorer Tree for that repository
will be displayed.
Move the 'To' explorer tree to the
right of the 'From' explorer tree. In this example,
the xrepa explorer tree is the 'From' and the xrepf explorer tree is the
'To'.
It should be noted that there is no particular order in which the explorer trees need to be displayed in the Studio for the transfer to take place. Nor do you have to log into the repositories in any particular order. The instructions given above are to make it easier for you to see both explorer trees and to make it easier to refer to the explorer trees in the example.
In the 'From' explorer tree, expand the Group Information object. Then expand the REPORTS group.
Right click on the OPEN_SALES_ORDERS
entity to display the menu. Notice that there is
a new selection on the menu: Transfer to (other repository).
If you were logged into more that 2 repositories here, each of the
other repositories would be listed as well.
Select Transfer
to 'To' repository from the menu.
Now, in the pull-down menus, select
Transfer->Execute Transfer.
The Data
in Queue screen is displayed. All of the
entities and groups that were chosen for transfer are listed here.
It's not required, but let's choose the parent group in the 'To' repository. This is the group to which the entity will be transferred. If left set to none, and the group to which the entity is assigned in the 'From' repository does not exist in the 'To' repository, it will be created in the 'To' repository. If it does exist, then the entity will be transferred to that group.
Click in the Parent on Target property for the report.
The Groups list is displayed, listing
the Group information in the 'To' repository.
Expand the Group Information object.
Left click on the REPORTS group to select it.
Click on the Ok
button at the bottom of the screen to continue.
The group name is returned to the
Parent on Target property.
Click on the Next > property to continue.
The Convert
Datasources screen is displayed. Since our
entity uses the default datasource for the repository, there is no need
to change the datasources when the report is transferred. It
will just use the default datasource in the 'To' repository. If
we did need to convert the datasources, the datasources to convert would
be listed on the left, and you would select the new datasource for each
of them on the right.
Click on the Transfer button to transfer the entity.
The transfer begins by determining
what needs to be transferred with the entity, such as lists of values,
templates, styles, and menus.
Then all required objects are transferred.
When all of the objects have been
transferred, the Ok button becomes available.
Click on the Ok button and the 'To' repository is refreshed.
In the 'To' repository, expand the Group Information object and then the REPORTS object.
There's your transferred report.
