Crystal Enterprise enables you to copy the contents of one CMS database into another database. This procedure is also referred to as migrating a CMS database. You can migrate CMS data from a different CMS database (versions 8.0 through 10 of Crystal Enterprise) into your current CMS database. Or, you can migrate the data from your current CMS database into a different data source.
Throughout this section, the source CMS database refers to the database that holds the data you are copying; this data is copied into the destination database. The destination database is initialized before the new data is copied in, so any existing contents of the destination database are permanently deleted (all Crystal Enterprise tables are destroyed permanently and then recreated). Once the data has been copied, the destination database is established as the current database for the CMS.
Note: Prior to Crystal Enterprise 10, the CMS was known as the Automated Process Scheduler (APS).
Tip: If you want to import users, groups, folders, and reports from one system to another, without deleting the contents of the current CMS database, see Importing with the Crystal Import Wizard.
