How do I upgrade my reports to MicroStrategy 9 from my current version?
Although MicroStrategy 9 represents a significant breakthrough in functionality, upgrading existing reports to MicroStrategy 9 is seamless. Customers can upgrade their projects by simply pointing their existing metadata to the MicroStrategy 9 Intelligence Server. In addition, MicroStrategy Integrity Manager can automate the regression testing of any or all reports before and after the upgrade. This can potentially reduce upgrade time from several months to just a few hours by eliminating the labor-intensive and error-prone manual testing that most companies perform. MicroStrategy Integrity Manager can also be used to ensure report integrity after other system changes, such as database design changes, database platform changes, VLDB changes, upgrading MicroStrategy to 64-bit operation, and ETL script changes.
