Deployment of Reports
Answered
Hi,
Can you please suggest best practice for deployment of reports from YF Development Instance to another Instance.
Is it possible to automate the Import process? for example, we have placed Report XML files in form of modules on our market and import(if new) or replace (if existing) when downloading that module. can we achieve such functionality? currently, we have to manually import all the reports on other instance one by one and check each report either to replace the report or import as new. this process is time-consuming and takes so much time.
Regards
Pratap

Hey Pratap,
Hope You're doing well!
That does sound very time consuming! So to save you some time we have web service calls that automate the import export process!
here is a link to the yellowfin wiki page that goes into more detail about the export/import functions and step by steps on how to perform the calls.

If this is not what you were looking for or if you have any further questions, please let me know!
Hope this helped :)

Yes I believe that exporting and importing as you are doing is good practice from the dev environment to the production environment.
We do have a range of deployment guide on our wiki - please click here to see which would suit your needs best!
- Although an easy way to find the last modified/updated versions of a report would be to browse your content list and see the last modified date and compare to the last modified date within production to see if they match or if they have in fact been modified since deployment...
Would that make things easier to find? Let me know!

Hey Pratap,
Ok I found this on the wiki which I think could be quite useful, basically when importing the content you can choose to add or replace, when choosing add, it will make a copy of the content that is imported, you can then decide which content you want to keep once imported?
Does this sound possibly better?
