BI Manager 1.4 - Migrating Web Report Studio Reports
The 1.4 version of the BI Manager in the SAS Management Console has some pretty cool functionality around moving Web Report Studio reports and their underlying Information Maps across BIP Tree folders.
This is particularly useful if you don’t have a separate development/test environment and are using separate BIP Tree folders for managing the development of reports by moving them across the folders (ie. Development Reports, Test Reports, Production Reports).
However if you still have BI Manager 1.3 installed the option to move the dependent information maps with the reports doesn’t exist.
The hot fix that you need to install on the SMC client to upgrade the BI Manager to 1.4 is on the SAS site here:

Trick for young players in that it is not on the SAS Support site under the usual hotfix area.
Hopefully this will save you the hour or two we spent tracking down what we needed to do to upgrade.
Of course you could just manually export the files, hack the XML and re-import them like Barry did
