Links to Referenced Content Objects are Broken Following Deployment

After you import a deployment archive to a new location, some links for objects associated with reports do not work.

When you import content objects which contain references to other objects that are not in the target environment, these references are removed. For example, if you deploy an archive containing reports based on a metadata package that is not in the deployment archive or the target environment, then the links will remain broken even if the referenced object is subsequently created.

To solve this problem, do one of the following:

Reimport your deployment package after the target objects have been created. The objects will be automatically linked
Manually reconnect the links to an object.
