Report migration

Report components are automatically upgraded as a part of the database migration process. However, you must back up existing report data from Maximo® Asset Management and import the data into the newly installed Maximo Application Suite.

Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT)

You can use BIRT reporting in Maximo Application Suite. Maximo Application Suite supports BIRT version 4.8.

• When you migrate from Maximo Asset Management 7.6.1.2 to Maximo Application Suite, BIRT reports are automatically upgraded from version 4.3.1 to version 4.8.
• Because Maximo Asset Management 7.6.1.3 already supports BIRT version 4.8, migrating to Maximo Application Suite does not require an upgrade for BIRT.

To migrate existing report properties and designs, export the report properties and design from Maximo Asset Management and import them in Maximo Application Suite. For more information, see Administering reports.

Cognos® Analytics

You can use Cognos Analytics with Maximo Application Suite. Migrating from Maximo Asset Management 7.6.1 to Maximo Application Suite upgrades Cognos Analytics to version 11.2.4. To migrate Cognos Analytics reports, back up your current data from the Cognos content store and import the data in Cognos Analytics version 11.2.4. For more information, see Backing up and restoring Cognos Analytics.

External report integration

Any external report integrations are migrated with the customization archive. For more information, see Migrating customizations using customization archive.
