How to migration Custom WebReports to another environment?

Reporting

While we cannot export the reports in batches, there is a better way to export that will include your report name, the source, and also the filters that might have been configured.

Once you’ve configured the report exactly how you like it, we can generate the XML for the report so that you can import into another BigFix Web Reports instance.
Open up your Web Developer / Web Console / JavaScript debugger in the Browser and enter:
WR.PrintReportXML(). Here’s an example of what will be output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<BESWebReport>  
  <Name>Example Report</Name>  
  <Description></Description>  
  <Type>TemplateReport</Type>  
  <Source></Source>  
  <Data></Data>  
  <URLParameters>#wr_computerTable=%22sort%3DR-computer%2520Name%26dir%3Ddesc%26startIndex%3D0%26results%3D50%26c%3DR-Computer%2520Name%26c%3DR-IP%2520Address%26c%3DR-OS%26c%3DR-CPU%26c%3DR-Last%2520Report%2520Time%22</URLParameters>  
  <SourcePage>ExploreComputers</SourcePage> 
</BESWebReport>

Save this as a .beswrpt file, and you should be able to import into another system and preserving the report configurations.

I use FireFox, and here is an example screen to hopefully make the notes easier to understand.
