Changing .UNX Sourced report to .UNV Source

Hello-
Version - 4.1 SP3
I know that this could not be an ususal scenario but, In process of validation I am running into this.
I need to change .UNX sourced webi report to .UNV, using the wizard only .UNX universes are listed while doing this.
PS: I can see all the universes listed while changing .UNV sourced report.
We do not have all access in CMC, I am trying to find if it is access issue or Limitation or feature of BO 4.1 SP3.
Thanks!

Hi Ravi,
I did not find any documentation on this but this is not possible and is a by-design behavior.
Unx has many features that are not there in unv so converting it to unv would not make sense.
Also unx has three layers whereas unv has one. So unv would likely get converted to unx but not vice versa.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Manpreet

  • Unable to change data source of any report

    Hello there,
    I am using the Crystal Reports Eclipse plugin. I added a datasource to Eclipse 3.3 which connects to a Oracle database using JDBC.
    Now I want to change the data source of a report. I get a popup window which displays the old data source with all tables and columns on the left side. On the right side of the window I see the name of the new data source at the top, but a list of "remove" options below it with a red cross in front (see screenshot).
    It does not matter if I want to change an existing report or a new report.
    I can create a new report with a datasource, but even when I want to change to the same datasource as already assigned to the report, I get the problem described above.
    I already followed some tips found in this forum, e.g. expanding all used tables in the data source explorer etc., but this did not help.
    I know that there was also a possibility to remove the "data source" information completely from the query (as mentioned at http://technicalsupport.businessobjects.com/KanisaSupportSite/search.do;jsessionid=2F140BDBA03E8E97EEF1E15F84964F12?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=c2017570&sliceId=&dialogID=13402443&stateId=1%200%2013406567), but I cannot find this option in Crystal reports for Eclipse. I see a field "qualified name" in the properties of each table of my report, but this field is read-only...

    Doesn't anyone have an answer to this problem? I would just like to change the datasource of a report. But I am not able to do so, because the only option I have in the dialog is to remove all tables.
    I just saw that the screenshot is missing. See it here:

  • Change the source of place holder dynamically in report

    Hi,
    We need to assign values to place holder dynamically in report pages based on the page number.
    Basic requirement is to have dynamic images (generated in before report trigger with file name having timestamp and page number) in dynamic pages (getting repeated based on number of lines in the report).
    Is there any way we can have a place holder mapped to this field (Read from file, type: Image) and change the source dynamically when each page is formatted?
    Any pointers for this will be helpful.
    Thanks,

    Thanks in advance.You have to use Reports Trigger named BEFORE PARAMETER FORM and write the following sql
    select sysdate into :Parameter_name from dual;
    give your format mask at Parameter_name.
    Hope this will help you

  • I can not map field after changing data source location

    Hi
    I have a small problem that I got a report file and database from my customer, after that I setup database, open the file and change data source to my setting. but some filed can not map. The field mapping widonw does not display all field in the table. Of course I have checked the missing fields are existing in the table.
    OS:Windows7
    DB:Oracle11
    CR:XI Release 2
    Does anyone have an idea?

    hi,
    In Map Fields window, there is an option "Match Type".
    Please Unchek that option, so that you will be able to see all the fields from that table.
    Also, while mapping please verify the datatypes of source and target fields.

  • Change the source system

    Hello
    In our Quality Box , I need to change the source system connection (from QR1 to QR2). I created the new connection successfully. Now the issue is all the Transfer structure still using OLD connection ( i.e QR1) . I run BDLS and it did not word. How can I re-assign the new source system (QR1)  to all of my Transfer structures in one go. Is there any report ?
    Farooq

    Hello,
    You cant directly convert the existing objects for a source system to the new source system.
    For that you need to do a transport of the objects to the QA box while maintaining the entry in BDLS to convert to the new source system.

  • Changing Data Source for command objects

    Hi,
    My report (designed in CR 10) is running based on the Stored Procedure call using a command object; which is running successfully in the DEV environment. The report data source connectivity is a DSN.
    Now i want to switch it to QA environment with different DSN name. When i tried to update the Change Data Source option, it doesn't allows to update the existing command with a new command!!!!
    I don't know how to fix this. Could any one of you have idea, pls. share it here???
    Thanks
    Viswa

    If you have same table structure in new data source then you can change the datasource connection.
    Follow the steps in this article
    KBase Article ID:c2016958
    Article refers to:Crystal Reports 10
    Symptom
    In Crystal Reports (CR) 10, can you change the database connection of an existing command object to use a different database connection without the use of a Crystal Repository?
    Resolution
    Yes, you can change the database connection of an existing command object to use a different database connection without the use of a Crystal Repository by using the following steps:
    ====================
    NOTE:
    You must apply the CR 10 Monthly Hot Fix (cr10win_en.zip) and the CR 10 Database and Export Drivers Monthly Hot Fix (dbex10win_en.zip) before starting the steps below.
    You can download these hot fixes at http://support.businessobjects.com/search
    ====================
    1. Open a report with a command object.
    2. Go the 'Database' menu and click 'Set Datasource Location'.
    3. In the 'Set Datasource Location' dialog box, select the connection for the command object (the connection appears as a cylinder with a plug).
    4. In the lower window, select the new connection and log on to the database.
    5. Ensure the connection is highlighted for the command object in the top window, and the connection is highlighted for the new command object in the bottom window.
    6. Click Update.
    The database connection for the command object now changes to use the new database connection information.

  • Change data source dynamically

    is it possible to change data source dynamically when using ibatis frame work...?

    We don't need a Java reporting tool to change data source dynamically.
    In Oracle Reports we can use:
    - lexical parameters
    - dynamic ref cursors
    - XML runtime customization

  • Change OBIEE Source from Temp to Permanent (Best Practices)

    All - I am struggling with the following:
    I would like to do a quick POC (proof-of-concept) for a client using OBIEE and temporary source. However, this POC will within 6 months need to start pointing to a more permanent source.
    The temp vs. permanent source will be slightly different. Perm may include more fact columns and more dimension tables.
    Questions for the OBIEE architects is:
    - What precautions can i take to make sure work done for POC will not be a throw away?
    Thanks,

    If you change to a source where you find all the existing objects then there is no problem in changing the source. You can create reports normally now. Care needs to be taken when the new source will have a few objects missing. In the presentation layer rename these objects whose source will change in the future and make it a common or generic name. When moving, For all those object in BMM whose sources are changed, try to replace the LTS source with the new ones. Try to make the one to one mapping between physical objects and BMM objects same before and after moving the source.

  • Changing the source system in QA

    Hello All,
    I just wanted a quick opinion from your experience on the following issue:
    We  have a ECC Dev client 20 connected to BI Dev client 20
    Similarly we have ECC QA 120 connected to BI QA 120
    But due to some reason we now want to connect a new ECC QA client 150 to BI QA 120 and take out ECC QA 120 totally(120 is wiped off).
    I already have a lot of development transported to BI QA where the source system is ECC 120. Now if 120 dies and we pull the data from 150, what are the pitfalls to watch for?
    Like all my Master data objects , DSO and Cubes still point to ECC QA client 120 but now the "actual" source system is going to be ECC QA 150.
    Points,
    Gaurav

    You need to replicate all the data sources in BI from QA 150 and change the source system assignment to 150 instead of 120.
    Also, you need to reinitilase delta for delta enabled extractors.
    Two  things to watch out:
    1.  If you dont have source system identifier,  then if you happen to get records with same key, then it will overwrite. This applies to both master and transaction data.
    2. For transaction data that is not delta enables, there may be a possibiltiy with which the records will get duplicated. So, better to delete the old requests before reload the data from QA150.

  • How can I change the source file so it is direct from external hard drive?

    I am trying to make a movie on imovie of a snowboarding trip that I went on, there is around 80 to 100 gig of mp4 movies that will not fit on my computer that I have stored on my external harddrive. I had the movie half finished then found I could do no more as I had no space left in my mac. I had to delete everything and start again but I'm not doing this until I can find a way of changing the source file so I can take them direct from my external hard drive as to not use up all my computers available space. I have moved imovie to my external hard drive but it still tries to read from a movie file on my mac, how can I change that so it will read from a source file on my external hard drive, is it possible?? Can someone help me??

    Hi Bengt, Thanks for your input, much appreciated.
    I have a WD 1TIG hard drive and are using usb connection, is it possible to use fire wire with these? I have had trouble with a lot of the videos I Imported, once they downloaded the file in the viewer window showed up blank and when I mouse over them it places a picture of another file in the window and wont drag and drop into the movie window, like their corrupted or something? Had to delete just about all of them and start again. Also is it possible to select a bunch of videos in the viewer window as to change the dates to the correct dates? All I have been able to do is "select all" which is no help.

  • Automating Importing a Visio OLE Object or Changing the Source of a Previously Imported OLE Object

    My colleagues and I import our Visio files into FrameMaker 10 via the following mechanism: File > Import > Object... > Create from File (with Link checked).  We do this because, for us, the benefits of object linking and embedding outweight the pitfalls. In order to institute and automate a graphic file naming convention, I want to be able to do one of the following using ExtendScript:
    Replace each Visio OLE object with that of a renamed or new Visio file. (I've tried using the Import() method  with many different import-script settings, but have not found the correct import-script, if such a thing exists for importing Visio files  imported by reference and linked as OLE objects. My typical error when attempting this is FV_DisallowedImportType, which indicates the source file type is disallowed by my import-script settings. When I talk about my import-script settings, I'm referring to the adjustments that I make to the parameters returned from a call to GetImportDefaultParams().  I've tried numerous import-script combinations but have had no luck. )
    Rename the Visio source file and change the source file of an already-linked Visio OLE object.  (To do this, I need to determine how to implement a script that equals the following user actions while a FM document is open: clicking on Links... under the Edit menu to bring-up the Links window; selecting each link displayed in the Links window; clicking the Change Source button for each selected link; entering the new file name in the File name field of the Change Source window; clicking Open.  Needless to say, I found nothing in the ExtendScript capabilities that indicates that this approach is doable. It may be doable using FDK F_Codes, I haven't explored that avenue and would like to avoid it.)
    Modify the OLE2 facet such that it points to the renamed file instead of the previous name for the file.  (This does not seem like a clean approach.  As is the case now, I don't know how to properly update the facet with the new file name.  I've experimented with simply changing the file name strings from new to old, but that does not work.  There's probably some error-checking or checksum that needs to be recomputed.  Bottom line: I don't know enough about facets.)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Paul

    Hi Paul,
    I tried doing something like this years ago with FrameScript, but found out that the OLE stuff is not exposed to FrameScript or the FDK. So it is probably not exposed to ExtendScript either. When you query an OLE graphic's InsetFile property, it returns a null string, the same as a graphic Imported by Copy would. As far as I can see, importing as an OLE object is only available through the Windows FrameMaker interface.
