Bw migration - bo universes - reports

hi,
in the company where work is needed to migrate from SAP BW 3.5 to 7.02 .
There are several Business Objects universes that rely on the InfoCube.
I wanted to know if there is a way to keep the reports already created that rely on these universes.
thanks

  • Migrating a webi report from one environment to another using import wizard

    Hi Everyone,
    Can anyone please tell me what all access should I have on my ID to be able to migrate a webi report from one environment to another environment(e.g. from development to quality).
    Regards,
    Neeraj Sharma

    Hi,
    To use the Import Wizard utility, you basically need Administrator, Full Control to Top-level folder, and "Add objects to the folder" and "Edit objects" for this user on the root folder.
    You need the least restrictive role, because you require absolute control for content promotion between 2 entitlement systems.
    the webi document is the cherry on-top,  you;ll have universes, connections, folders to bring over too. 
    Regards,

    p.s. check Note 1450708 - How to restrict access to the Import Wizard from a Business Objects Enterprise system
    and

  • BO migration from BEx reports

    One of my client is running on SAP IS Retail 6.0, and they have few BW reports. Now they are looking for migrating the BEx reports to BO XI.
    They do not want to change anything, but want to port the reports as is to BO from BEx.
    My previous experience of porting BEx reports to BO as is, without puting extra filters of something, to reduce the huge data size images was not good at all.
    Is there any way to have better performance in BO than the current BEx performance, if we want to port the reports as is without any structural change?
    Please share your experience with me.

    My company is running Webi reports using BOBJ XI 3.1 (up to current fixpack level) on SAP BI 7.01 EHP1-SP5. This config gives 50% reduction in Memory, 30% improvement in runtimes, on average compared to 7.0 BI, according to SAP. But is it good enough for full corporate deployment?
    My understanding of the Webi <-> SAP BI architecture is that we still have a large image sent to the XI Box from the query -> universe -> Webi report refresh. The big flaw here in my view is that Webi is disconnected from the OLAP database tables after the refresh, thus must 'image' everything the report requires, in our case into a 32 bit Windows NT box. 
    This is quite different from the SAP BI OLAP front-end model, in which user navigations are threaded in various ways (sometimes from cache, from aggregates, from indexes on the DSO characteristics etc), as we can see in our BI OLAP processing steps in BI statistics.
    After the Webi refresh, there are no 'threads', or calls, back to BI ABAP tables, as the Webi report has to represent all the potential navigation in the MDX model. For this reason it seems a fundamentally resource-intensive architecture, that can induce instability when very large sets of data are retrieved in concurrent user sessions. By "large"  think of the 'cubed' size (count of characteristics X count of key figures X number of transactions).
    If user activity results in concurrent refresh calls to generate large report 'images' from SAP BI, I have observed 100% CPU freeze in BOBJ XI, and user lockout until resources are again freed up, which can take a very long time for certain reports. Subsequently when the large images are subjected to user OLAP navigations, CPU processing again will spike.
    When running large image reports, the Webi performance has been an 'order of magnitude' slower than our reports running on ABAP web. Unfortunately, the risk is greater than just slow performance - there is the CPU and memory resources that are engaged during that extended processing interval as well.
    Much depends on the normal level of user activity. This is a matter of simple statistics. Say your overalll production BI system load averages ten users per hour running reports. If Webi report runtime averages 30 minutes per refresh, and BEx ABAP runs in 5 minutes, the probabillity of concurrent resource collisions is much higher - from 10% to 50%, thus the situation can snowball rapidly.
    I think SAP is working very hard on this problem, but has issued guidance as recently as May 2009,  that if you have current BEx reports that are working, don't migrate them all yet. Unfortunately our users are anxious to run everything in the Webi tool, because it is indeed a super user interface.
    However, customers have until 2016 until the Bex tools are phased out. Interviewed by Searchsap, Jonathan Becher, SAP Sr. VP, said, "There are lots of scenarios that BEx does just fine, if you're confident using BEx, don't rush."  The same article also quoted Cindy Coyle of Coors, who had tested the Webi BOBJ: ""Don't go near Business Objects [until you get a BWA]," Coyle said, "because it'll only add more performance problems on top of what's there today."

  • Migrating from Crystal Reports Charts using TopN and "Other" to Reporting Services

    I am currently migrating several Crystal Reports that have charts.  The chart series is set to use the TopN values in a count, and combine the rest of the series into one series titled "Other".  I see how to filter the chart using TopN, however I need to still show the rest of the data grouped as "Other".  I think the solution I need is to create a group expression that uses some sort of IIF function to create the "Other" group, but I haven't found a function that I can use to get the results I need.  Any ideas?
    Scott

    We were looking at report deployment options and evaluating SSRS vs Crystal Report Server.  There were several reasons we decided to go with SSRS:
    Cascading Parameters
    Ability to use multiple data sets in one report
    SSRS seemed more user-friendly than CRS
    There were a few other considerations I can remember now, but the final reason was price.  My company already had the licenses for SQL Server.  However, even if that was not a consideration I still would have gone with SSRS.
    Hope this info helps.

  • Migrating Graphs from Reports 6i to Reports 10g

    While migrating Graphs from Reports 6i to Reports 10g is there a possibility of maintaining the same graphs rather than recompiling them using the Graph Wizard of Reports 10g. I have hundreds of reports with graphs and will be an uphill task to re-draft all the graphs. Kindly suggest alternatives to overcome this dead-lock.
    Thanx in advance
    Sridhar

    Hello Sridhar,
    10g is not supporting Graphics builder. So you got to create/insert all these 6i graphs in 10g. Open the 6i report and compile in 10g. It will give you file not found error. Delete the graph area in the layout editor.
    Then drag the chart icon and drop in layout. Redesign again. Offcourse it is not fun. But there is no way.
    Also there are tons of bugs in 10g report Graphs. You won't find some cool features like Others % option in the pie slice provided by Graphics bulider. You got to change graph.xml file for some of the features. Even the graphs looks ugly in 10g. Migrating graph reports is really frustrating in 10g. But we have no choice. Recently we migrated to 10g. Becareful with matrix reports. 10g keeps on getting crashed when ever we develop matrix report. GOD knows the reason.
    But 10g has some very very good features like Distribution
    Cheers.

    what else is missing . plz help.....

    Well, you can migrate, you can not upgrade (semantics I suppose). E.g.; the RDC was deprecated in CR XI r1 and retired in CR 2008. Thus there is no way for you to upgrade to version 12 of the RDC as there is no such thing. So, from here, you have two options: migrate / port the app to .NET, or Java SDKs.
    Re. RDC, see my blog here:
    /people/ludek.uher/blog/2008/10/20/report-designer-component--past-present-future
    For porting the app to .NET, see this article:

  • Migrate from Crystal Report XI R2 to Business Objects XI R2

    Hello friends,
    As per end of licence life cycle for Crystal report, we need to migrate our 30 crystal reports to BO xi r2.
    First thing i need to ask is that ...is this possible to migrate from Crystal report XI R2 to BO xi R2 ?
    If yes than where i can find migration guide..i tried import wizard but its not showing crystal reports in list.
    please help..
    thanks.

    Ok. We used the same Administrator user.
    It seems first we need to move report to Report Samples than only it shows in list.
    If we keep *.rpt under user folders its not being imported.
    Import is possible this way only. Now we need to call the report from java.
    Which API should we use to print this crystal report migrated to BO?
    Regards.

  • Migrate VS SSDT Reporting Project to SQL Server Report Builder?

    In the past, I have developed SSRS reports using Visual Studio (BIDS/SSDT). Unfortunately, a company server migration has made it impossible for me to deploy my reporting projects using that devlopment environment, so it appears I have to resort to Report
    Builder now.
    I see that the SQL Server Reporting Services web app has an "Upload File" menu item.  However, it's not clear to me how these would then be translated into a Report Builder project.  I've heard that the SSRS project-building
    capabilities of Visual Studio go considerably beynd those of the Report Builder in SQL Server.
    What I'd like to know is: Can I develop a Reporting Services project in Visual Studio and then migrate it to Report Builder via upload? If so, what are the steps to accomplish this, and what, if any, are the drawbacks?
    - Mark Z.

    Hi Mark Zudeck,
    As per my understanding, you developed SSRS reports with report designer, now you could not deploy the reports to report manager, and you want to open the projects with report builder. If that is the case, please refer to the following steps:
    On the Start menu, click All Programs, and then click Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder.
    To create a new report, click the SQL Server icon in the upper left-hand corner of Report Builder, and then click New.
    To open an existing report stored on your local machine or a report server, click the SQL Server icon in the upper left-hand corner, and then click Open.
    If you don’t see the report server in the list of existing servers, close the Open Report dialog box and then click Connect at the bottom of Report Builder to connect to the server.
    For detail information about Report Builder, please refer to the following document:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159221.aspx
    If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

  • Migration from crystal reports 8  to 11 - Formatting Issue(Criticial)

    Post Author: DJ Gaba
    CA Forum: General
    I have migrated my crystal report version from version 8 to version 11 (evaluation version) but I am seeing some formattiong issue
    My entire report data has moved little bit toward right so my rightmost line (table) wraps up in next page and hence leaving every second page blank.
    is it that I am using evaluation version that is casuing problme. Report is opening up properly but it's the  formatting issues
    Or it's something else
    Let me know

    Well I will definately try that. Currenlty I am in process of downloading licensed version to observe the behaviour
    But just looking at font sizes in both pdf's (version 8 and 11), it seems that font sizes are same in both pdfs. But I will confirm that once I open the crystal report 11 designer
    Probably you can send me your e-mail ID so that I can send you both pdf's
    I am also planning to compare property/obect values in crystal report 11 designer to see if anything else got changed that needs to be reverted as it was in crystal report 8.
    Thanks

  • Migrating to Oracle Reports 6i from Oracle Report 9i

    Hi all,
    We re-compiled original Forms & Reports 6i source code with Oracle 9i Forms & Reports.
    Forms are working really nice with almost no change at all with Oracle 9ias Forms services and Oracle 8i as db. The Oracle 9ias server is W2k. Will be upgrading to oracle 9i db in a short time.
    The only change we applied to forms source code was the function to call reports. We are using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() instead of RUN_PRODUCT.
    i.e. the URl is formed in all reports as
    http://ip_address:port/reports/rwservlet?DESTYPE=cache&DESFORMAT=PDF&userid=user/passwd@dbname&report=f:\web\formas\ametas\REP_DET_METAS_DPTO.REP&estrategia_par='08'&centro_par=249&depto_par=27100&anio_par=2003&TRIMESTRE_PAR=1
    At the beginning we used directly the 6i reports but they were running inconsistently, after several calls to reports they got stock and we did need to reboot report services.
    Then as a suggestion we re-build only two reports in reports 9i for testing. But same result when running in combination with 6i reports. Combination means, sometimes called 6i reports someothers reports in 9i.
    The reports run fine several times but inconsistently. What I mean is that they can be running normaly many times and suddenly the reports server sends this message
    REP-50002:Server is shutting down
    DBA reported this issue to our local support but they said configuration is ok.
    In other tests and only running 9i reports it seems not getting stock never, at least we run two 9i reports more than 40 times. So the problem seems to be when we run 9i reports in combination with 6i reports. We are planning to migrate all our reports but this mean to rebuild all reports again.
    Is someone facing this kind of problem?
    Or is this the only solution? Losting men/machine hours rebuilding the reports.
    Any suggestion for my DBA to check in configuration?

    Sorry for the confusion the subject for this issue should be

  • Migrating a User Report Layout

    Hello
    I have a question. I need to migrate a user report layout from one DB to another, and i'm not sure how to do it.
    I have read other threads about this particular subject and one of the solutions is to run an insert query into the RDOC table of the other DB; this is mentioned to be written in the SAP Note number 600813
    I am concerned that by doing this I could be compromising the integrity of the DB, since one of the rules of SAP is to not run direct inserts into any DB.
    Am I authorized to do this as a developer? or is there another solution, that doesn't compromise the integrity of the DB?

    Hi Jessica,
    I think you can use the copy express addon to export layouts but I use sql.
    Here is the query i use to do it, you can export several layouts by modifying the conditions.
    It's better to test it on test database...
    DELETE [TARGETDB].[dbo].[RDOC]
    where[TARGETDB].[dbo].[RDOC].DocCode
    IN (SELECT DocCode FROM [SOURCEDB].dbo.RDOC WHERE DocCode = YourDocCode)
