Migration Planning and Architecture
Validate the technical feasibility and vendor supportability of the tentative migration path:
SAP BusinessObjects 4.2 to SAP BusinessObjects 4.3.
Continued use of Crystal Reports 2016 during the initial BusinessObjects 4.3 phase.
Migration from Crystal Reports 2016 to Crystal Reports 2020.
Upgrade from SAP BusinessObjects 4.3 to SAP BusinessObjects 2025.
Migration of the platform and supporting components to Windows Server 2022.
Recommend adjustments to the sequence based on SAP-supported upgrade paths, compatibility requirements, system dependencies, and risk.
Confirm compatibility among the proposed BusinessObjects releases, Crystal Reports versions, Windows Server 2022, databases, browsers, authentication services, application servers, reporting clients, and third-party components.
Determine whether each phase should use an in-place upgrade, side-by-side migration, content migration, or another supported approach.
Develop a detailed phased migration plan that minimizes operational disruption and provides a reliable rollback strategy for each phase.
Define requirements for development, test, quality-assurance, disaster-recovery, and production environments, as applicable.
Develop a plan for migrating BusinessObjects repositories, universes, reports, security settings, schedules, publications, and application integrations.
Identify reports, integrations, drivers, runtime components, or custom code that must be remediated, converted, rebuilt, replaced, or retired.
Provide effort estimates, dependencies, assumptions, risks, decision points, and a proposed implementation schedule for each migration phase.
