What would be the process in order to move one license to a different server??? I have one installation (on Windows 2003 Web Edition Server, SP 1) and I'm experiencing some problems with this because XMLA it's not working (I have a work arround, which I include below, but it has some caveats) I want to move this to another server with Windows 2000, I already tried with the Demo version and it works fine... Of course my installation is registered with its order number so, if I try to install in another computer, I get the message saying that the installation can not be carried out because that order number is registered on another computer... How should I proceed??
Here is the work arround in case it helps somebody... Of course this is based on what I have tried.. Igor might have a better way to do this....
I have two servers accesible through the web... let's say this are the adresses www.w2000.com and www.w2003.com, as sugested by the names one is a Windows 2000 and the other one is a Windows 2003. I have installed Report Portal 2 (build 98) and XMLA in the Win 2003 server, but XMLA doesn´t work... Older versions of Report Portal (build 73 for example) included in the application settings a field to specify the url for the XML for Analysis Server, this is not present in later versions, but it seems that the code still can use this, so in order to specify this, you could add it in the database. In the table AppSettings you just specify in the Param column "XmlaServer" (without the quotation marks) and in the ParamValue column, the url where you can access the XMLA. Most likely this parameter already exist in the database, and its pointing to the same server where you installed Report Portal. In my case, what i did, was to install XMLA in www.w2000.com and redirect Report Portal (by changing the param value as I mentioned above) to use XMLA in this server (something like www.w2000.com/xmla/msxisapi.dll" target="_blank">http://www.w2000.com/xmla/msxisapi.dll), eventhough Report Portal is intalled in the other server...
The caveats.... The problem here is to create new reports... the dialog that allows you to specify the cube you are going to use automatically points to www.w2003.com/xmla/msxisapi.dll," target="_blank">http://www.w2003.com/xmla/msxisapi.dll, wich is the one that is not working.... so, with this work arround you can basically view Olap Reports but you can not create new ones...
Thanks
