I have a report that I would like to import into a clients database. The object is Report 50050. The client’s database already has a Report 50050. I feel certain if I import my object the current object will be deleted. Is that correct? If so, what is the solution?
Check free nos. in client DB and rename your new report in your develop DB. Then export new report and import to client’s DB.
Hi Stephen YES the existing report will be overwritten If you can then rename your new report to a new number BEFORE importing ( i.e on a developer database ) Is it only 1 report or are you inserting a couple of objects and this problem accours only to the report ?
Thanks for the response guys. Hans, It is only 1 report in this instance.
If you are sitting in front of your customer the following may do it without developer database : Save the original report as FOB Import your NEW report Mark your new report and copy it to clipboard press F3 Insert the report with Changing the number to a free number import the original report. IMPORTANT : Do it in this way and DO NO RENAME of the new report after importing because the system will change a lot more…
