The Portfolio Analyzer Views Migration tool is a utility in the Project Server 2007 Project Resource Kit (PRK). It enables administrators to bulk edit the Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services settings in Data Analysis views. This is particularly useful when a Microsoft Office Project Server 2003 database has been migrated to Microsoft Office Project Server 2007 and the computer on which SQL Server Analysis Services is installed has changed. The benefit of using this tool is that administrators avoid having to manually edit the values for each view individually.
