How to migrate / move existing reports and their associated schedules to another machine / server?

How to migrate / move existing reports and their associated schedules created from Performance Analysis (PA) for SQL Server client GUI to another machine / server?

Reports and their associated schedules are stored on the same machine as where PA client GUI was installed. If another copy of PA client GUI is installed on a new machine / server, custom reports and their associated schedules from the other machine / server would not exist on the new machine / server. As the result, the reports and their associated schedules need be migrated.

To migrate the reports and their associated schedules, perform the following: 

For Windows XP or other Windows OS with similar directory structure:

1. On the existing machine / server, navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\<USERNAME>\Local Settings\Application Data\Quest Software\Performance Analysis MSSQL 6.0\Services\<MONITORED_HOSTNAME-INSTANCE_NAME>\Reports
2. Copy all reports with their associated folders that need to be migrated
3. Paste them to the same directory on the new machine / server
4. Launche PA client GUI on the new machine / server and go to Reports to validate the reports were migrated successfully.

For Windows 7 or other Windows OS with similar directory structure:

1. On the existing machine / server, navigate to C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Local\Quest Software\Performance Analysis MSSQL 6.0\Services\<MONITORED_HOSTNAME-INSTANCE_NAME>\Reports
2. Copy all reports with their associated folders that need to be migrated
3. Paste them to the same directory on the new machine / server
4. Launche PA client GUI on the new machine / server and go to Reports to validate the reports were migrated successfully.
