This article provides best practices for migrating IT Analytics and all installed content packs in the event the underlying SQL server is moved. These steps are only specific to IT Analytics with respect to the migration of SQL Server Analysis Services and SQL Server Reporting Services. This article does not detail information regarding migrating the underlying databases for the Symantec point products for which IT Analytics content packs are currently available (Symantec Endpoint Protection, Data Loss Prevention or Critical System Protection). Depending on the way you have IT Analytics configured or if any customizations have been implemented, you will need to follow one of the following scenarios detailed below.
Choose this scenario if you have not made any custom modifications to the default cube set within IT Analytics (i.e. no custom cubes have been created or modified). This scenario follows the process for installing and configuring a new instance of IT Analytics.
Choose this scenario if you have modified or created new cubes (i.e. within Business Intelligence Development Studio or another development tool).
In addition to the scenarios listed above, follow these steps only to migrate previously created custom reports in SQL Reporting Services from the old server to the new server.
