You need to include below objects in the project.
BI File Definition
BI Template Definition

BI Report Definition.

Note: If the template is using a new XML file as template file, then it is mandatory to have the file ID associated with the Template included in the project. If this is not done and migrated only Template and Report Defn, then you will end up with a weird error message while opening the report defn through PIA. This is because the FileID used for template does  not exist in target database.

Migration Queries: App Engine.
Scenario: Changes are done only to few step properties in a section. Now these steps should be migrated to other envrionment.

Migration Queries: Record Properties. Adding AUDIT record.

There was Audit Record added to the Record at Record Properties and after migration through STAT the change is not getting reflected in the target environment.

To resolve this issue, in the project Compare options, there will be option to Keep Target changes flag for Audit. It should be unchecked so that the change will take place in the target environment.
