Ooops....Clicked on multi-part on accident. Hi again!
Thank you all for the input. After BMC kicked it around some more, they said this option (in LJ's response) is what they would recommend however, they want the DBA (I wear that hat too) to use an oracle job to import it in case there is any 10g to 12c data restructuring that needs to happen. "The oracle tools hopefully will realize it's importing a 10g DB and change any fields/structure/etc" Let's hope so! After the upgrade install of ARS, they want me to run the BPCU (best practice conversion utility) before I move on to installing the mid tier. If you have any comments/recommendations on this, I'd be happy to have them. And speaking of mid tier....We have been using crystal reports developer edition AKA crystal reports server XI R2 (http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/en_US/pd/ThemeID.29254600/parentCategoryID.57065700/categoryID.57103400/productID.97983100/categoryId.57103400?resid=VI82NgoydREAANjcPmMAAAAI&rests=1418736846207) w/ our 7.1 setup. According to the compatibility matrix, we should use BOXI 3.1 or 4.0, Crystal Rpts Svr 2008 or 2011. Since we have less than 200 users. Is one version better than another and worth spending more $$ on? Opinions...Go! _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
