ActiveReports Server has progressed to Wyn Enterprise, a fully-secured enterprise business intelligence (BI) software that delivers collaborative self-service reporting and analytics. Wyn Enterprise offers an OS agnostic deployment, enterprise-level data store environment, interactive dashboards and much more. The new platform architecture uses .NET Core and GraphQL. Due to these changes, a simple upgrade from ActiveReports Server to Wyn Enterprise will not suffice. In order to take advantage of the enhanced BI toolset, we encourage ActiveReports Server customers to migrate existing resources to Wyn Enterprise. To make this transition easier, we've created a migration tool. Our migration tool allows you to:
{
"ARS": {
"Url": "http://localhost:8080/",
"User": "admin",
"Password": "admin",
"Timeout": 200000
},
"WynServer": {
"Path": "C:\\Program Files\\Wyn Enterprise\\Server"
},
"WynIdentity": {
"Url": "http://localhost:51980/",
"UserName": "admin",
"Password": "admin"
},
"DataExtraction": {
"StorageType": "Postgres",
"ConnectionString": "Database=wyndatacache;User ID=<username>;Password=<password>;Host=<hostname>;Port=5432;"
},
"Storage": {
"Engine": "Postgres",
"ConnectionString": "Database=wynserverdata;User ID=<username>;Password=<password>;Host=<hostname>;Port=5432;"
}
}
This tool can migrate most resources from ActiveReports Server to Wyn Enterprise. However, server configurations require a manual restoration due to architectural differences in the two products. We recommend moving essential configurations such as users, roles, and security providers ahead of migration.
This ensures permissions settings are not lost after migration.
Configurations like auditing, UI settings, SMTP settings, and others can be moved later. Refer to the Wyn Documentation for help with these configurations.
Once you have completed the required configurations and told the script about the ActiveReports Server and Wyn installations, begin the migration.
Execute the command below in a command prompt or PowerShell window from the folder where the migration script resides.
Since it is a .NET Core assembly, you will need a .NET Core runtime on your machine.

Dotnet gces-ars-migration.dll Once the migration script finishes execution, login to your Wyn Portal and view the migrated resources. You can also find the migration results in a file located at:
./ars-migration/results.
Reference this file to identify resources that need a manual restoration or the cause of failure.
Failed migration of data sources or semantic models due to inaccessible data servers/stores.
Tip: Ensure the data servers/stores are accessible to the migration tool, ActiveReports Server, and Wyn Enterprise
Failed migration of JSON data source because ActiveReports Server doesn't have \"JSON Path\" setting for this provider which is required in Wyn.
Tip: Add path-\"{$.[*]}\"; in the \"Description\" of the JSON data source on ActiveReports Server.
We understand your ActiveReports Server production environment is unique and contains business-critical reports. We recommend testing the migration script on your staging server to ensure the settings are correct.
