    To be able to work with the BI Content objects, you have to transfer them from the delivery version (D version) to the active version (A version), that is, you have to activate the BI Content. See Copying BI Content to the Active Version and Troubleshooting (Content Activation).

Publish Reports

Publish the reports on SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise Server (BOE). You publish the reports in the BW system in the Content Administration Workbench (transaction /Crystal/RPTADMIN).
