INFO - Updating Report objects.
The following steps will reproduce this problem:
1. Select "export" from the root-level node (either the BI Manager
node or a repository node in SAS® Data Integration Studio).
Continue with the export operation.
2. Then, select "import" from the root-level node on the target
server.
3. Select "New Objects" in the Import Wizard.
NOTE: Some of the folders that are being imported must already exist
on the target server. For instance, if you are importing the
"BIP Tree" folder, it must exist on the target.
The metadata is actually imported but not correctly. The imported
metadata will be orphaned because the folders are not connected to their
parent folder or to the parent software component.
