server exists.
Create a source file repository
definition that corresponds to
the source code directory and
the workspace server.
Stored process server Ensure that a stored process

These associations include the following:
3 The Department A folder and the Stored Process folder are each associated
with an ACT. If the export and import operations include access controls, then BI
Manager will expect to find the ACTs already present in the destination metadata
repository.
3 Each of the reports is associated with an XML file (with the suffix .srx) on the
WebDAV server. For these to be promoted, BI Manager will expect a WebDAV
server to exist in the target environment.
3 Each of the reports is associated with a different information map. The
information maps must be promoted along with the reports in order for the reports
to function properly.
