Conversion from Dev/2000 to Developer 6.0

Has anyone converted Dev/2000 (Forms 5.0 and/or Reports 3.0) to Develpor 6.0?
I've been searching for documentation of the differences and what it take to convert and have had no luck?
Thanks in advance,
Debbie

Debbie,
For Forms, just open the form in the 6.0 builder and the conversion process will walk you through it.
Reports should do the same, but you might like to check with a Reports wiz (try the Reports forum on TechNet)

Conversion from DEV/2000 to DEVELOPER 6

Can someone direct me to documentation for Developer 6.0? We're trying to determine what it will to take to convert from Dev/2000 to Devloper 6.0.
Has anyone converted from Forms 5.0 to Forms 6 and Reports 3.0 to Reports 6? If so, what were your pitfalls? How much effort did it take to convert?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
There isn't any great different between forms5.0 and forms6.0. According to Oracle Corp. Forms 6.0 is 90% Forms5.0 and 10% other features like LOV wizard etc.
There must be specific reason for converting.
Otherwise Forms 5.0 is good enough.
For converting from Forms5.0 to Forms6.0 simply open the forms 5.0 source file (*.fmb) in Forms Builder 6.0 and re-compile.( latest patch for Developer 6.0 is Patch 6a.) U have to re-compile each and every form. Same is applicable for Reports6 .
Open the Reports 3.0 *.rdf file in Reports Builder 6.0 and re-compile.
Thats it. Very simple.
Oracle Developer 6 documentation is available On-Line on the CD itself.
Hope this helps.

Sql server Configuration option when moving packages from dev env to production env

hi folks:
Our SSIS engine is SQL2008R2 and I am in charge of ssis package development and deployment from dev env to production env.
This is what I've done using configurations to move packages from dev to production.
1. on my local machine, I've created a database called SSIS_Config and a table that stores all
configration settings
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SSIS Configurations]
ConfigurationFilter NVARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
ConfiguredValue NVARCHAR(255) NULL,
PackagePath NVARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
ConfiguredValueType NVARCHAR(20) NOT NULL
2. on dev ssis server, there is the same table [dbo].[SSIS Configurations] on SSIS_Config db which stores all configurations
Once package has been deployed to dev env and run with success, I'll move it from dev to prod
3. On Prod ssis server, there is the same table [dbo].[SSIS Configurations] on SSIS_COnfig db which stores all configurations
once ssis pkg has been deployed using deployment manifest, it runs without errors as all production db connection
will be updated manually in the table [dbo].[SSIS Configurations]
Our production env is unique as it's completely locked down and the only way to connect is through remote in session.
At this moment, I am maintaining three [dbo].[SSIS Configurations] tables : on my local machine, on SSIS dev server and on SSIS prod server.
This works fine so far as I am the sole developer... Soon, we will have more developers joined to develop ssis package .
I am wondering if there is anyway to cut the table maintained on my local machine and only use ones on dev server and prod server ?
I've tried using the table on dev server to disperse connectionstrings, it works file on dev env. However, when I deployed to product server,
since there is no sql connection between dev and prod, the configuration information can not be retrieved and theirfore package is failed.
Any ideas on how to move packages from local to dev to prod env.?
Thanks

Thanks Nearby BI guy. Am I correct that in your SSIS packages, there is only one connection manager which gets ConnectionStr populated from package configurations which is .xmlconfig
file and you then use expressions to populate connectionStrs of other connection managers through the ssisconfiguration tables?
Also for the one on Production environment, the contents of .xmlconfig has to be manually
changed in order to match the one on production env.
Is that correct?
I am thinking about using environment variables to point to the Config Database on each
local/dev/prod environment, but some environments may have strict policy on the usage of environment variables.
thanks

How to move PI objects in IR and ID from DEV to QAS

Hi experts,
         I am new to PI and with lot of research and help from you all experts I could successfully create a scenario from XML to CSV conversion. I created message interface, interface mapping objects etc.. in "Integration Repository" and conficguration scenario, sender and receiver communication channels etc. in "Integration directory". Everything is working fine in DEV and now I want to move all these to QAS. I went through some documents on SDN and it was talking about XI track and CTS and I am so new to all these, I am not sure how to get started. Could someone please let me know the procedure of moving PI objects from DEV to QAS?
Thanks.
--Mithun

Not to Worry Mithun Da!
There are two ways to transport ID and IR Object to transport .
1. CTS + : Totally automated Way .,
2. .tpz : Manual Lagacy Import / Import way .
Now . Steps .are :
There are two types of transport mechanisms in XI/PI.
1.      File Transport System.
Files are imported and exported into SAP XI OS Level for Development and Quality Server,
This Process is risky as there is no automated system and there is no track record of imported or Exported Files,
as in this syetem exported files are transported to QA System from DEV System.
file Extension in file transport System : - .tpz
2.     Through CTMS(Change Transport Managment System).
GUI Based tool, Installed on SAP XI BOX, This system provides the automated transport system , which keep tracks of transported Objects and Failed objects.
There are initial level efforts to set up transport system.
Transport Procedure for Various System :-
DESIGN OBJECTS ---> (ENTERPRISE SERVICE REPSITORY OBJECTS) -
> INTEGRATION BUILDER.
Step -I
1. Select NameSpace to trasport.
2. Right Click on NameSpace to Transport.
3. Select Export Option.
4. Check or Select the Software Component Version.
5. Check the Mode of transport.
CTS MOde:-
5.1     Select a required type of Object Set:
     IN OUR CASE: ALL OBJECT OF INDIVIDUAL NAMESPACE.
5.2        Select Transort request.
5.3      Finish the Process.
TRANSPORT USING FILE SYSTEM:-
5.1     Select a required type of Object Set:
     IN OUR CASE: ALL OBJECT OF INDIVIDUAL NAMESPACE.
5.2      Finish the Process.
Step II
1. GO TO TOOLS OPTION IN MENU BAR
2. OPEN CTS TRANSPORT ORGANIZER
3. Select the request to Release.
4. Press Button Release.
Step III( Steps to be Perform at Target System).
1. Execute Transection Code STMS.
2. Check your Transport Request Number.
3. Focus on that Trasport Request Number Through Mouse.
4. Now Import The Transport Request on Specific client of Target System.
5.Click Ok.
FINAL :- NOw on Quality Server all Transported Objects Need to be activated.
CONFIGURATION OBJECTS ---> (INTEGRATION DIRECTORY) -
> INTEGRATION BUILDER.
Step -I
1. Select Configuration Scenario to trasport.
2. Right Click on Configuration Scenario to Transport.
3. Select Export Option.
4. Check or Select the Configuration Scenario.
5. Check the Mode of transport.
CTS MOde:-
5.1     Select a required type of Object Set:

Issues migrating Xcelsius Dashboards from Dev to QA in BO 4.0

We are currently using BO 4.0 SP2 for enterprise landscape and Crystal Dashboard 4.0SP2 for dashboard design. We have Webi Reports created on top of BEx queries and BI Web Services are created on top of WEBI Report blocks used as the data sources for Xcelsius dashboards. All the dashboards work fine in Development environment. Now the problem is when we migrate the dashboards to QA, dashboards doesnt work anymore as the Web Services based on Webi Report blocks have the BOBJ Dev server name hard coded in the Web Services URL and still shows the same in QA. I can change the web services url to point to QA in XCelisus, however can't edit the web service in QA to change it to point to Dev. Has anyone experiences this issue?
Thanks

Conversion from string "20041023 " to type 'Date' is not valid.

Hi ,
I have a table with one of the column(EmpHiredate) datatype is char(10). It has value like "20141023". I need to display this value as date format(dd/mm/yyyy) in report.
Following methods i tried in textbox expression but no luck.
=Format(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,"dd/MM/yyyy")
=Cdate(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value)
Error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘EmpHireDate.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Conversion from string "20041023 " to type 'Date' is not valid.
Is it possible to convert string to date using SSRS textbox expression ? Can anyone help me with the solution.
Thanks,
Kittu

Hi Jmcmullen,
Found one more issue on the same. I have one value like "00000000" for the column(EmpHiredate)
, when i use above expression values(ex:"20141023")
are displaying in dd/MM/yyyy format in report except value like "00000000" and giving following error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘EmpHireDate.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Conversion from string "0000/00/00" to type 'Date' is not valid.
Even i tried to pass its original value("00000000") as below but no luck.
=IIF(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value = "00000000","00000000",Format(CDATE(MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,1,4) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,5,2) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,7,2)),"dd/MM/yyyy"))
Also tried this:
=IIF(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value = "00000000","2000/10/21",Format(CDATE(MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,1,4) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,5,2) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,7,2)),"dd/MM/yyyy"))
Please Suggest.

Best practice on 'from dev to test'move.

Hello.
My Repository 10.2.0.1.0
My client 10.2.1.31
I am writing to ask someone what would be the best practice and most common_sense_oriented way to move OWB from dev to qa/test environment?
I have read a number of recommendations on this forum and other oracle docs and it seem somewhat tedious exercise...
At the moment i am either having to simply copy and paste (ye not very professional but works a treat!) then just re-sync the tables to point to correct location on some of the smaller of my projects.
Now i have a huge project with hundreds of maps with different source locations etc.
I want to move it into test.
My test environment is where we test ETL process before implementing it in live as oppose to UAT test.
I imported the tables into OWB etc from the test, now i want to move my maps from dev to test and this is where my HOW TO comes.
I have different runtime repositories on my test as per oracle recommended (same names apply to dev and test and live repositories for the consistency purposes). Importing the maps from the export of dev to test doesn't really work and i don't really want start tweaking with export files.
for some reasons the import only imports it back to the project the export was taken from.... (which is as useful as a smack on a head, in my humble).
copy and paste the re-sync all tables would be madness, misery and pain all in one!
So what do i need to do?
1) OK i imported all the tables and views from the test environment into OWB
2) How do i move my maps from dev to test?
3) even if i copy them over - would i honeslty have to then resync tables in every single map (i am already crying by the thought of it)?!
It seem a little tidious to me.
I can imagine that there is no silver bullet and everyone have different ideas, but someone please share your experience on how would do it?
Here is something from the user guide and no matter how many times i read this - i just don't get how i can relate it to what i need to achieve.
The following quote is from "OWB User Guide", Chapter 3.
"Each location defined within a project can be registered separately within each Runtime Repository, and each registration can reference different physical information. Using this approach, you can design and configure a target system one time, and deploy it many times with different physical characteristics. This is useful if you need to create multiple versions of the same system such as development, test, and production."
As i said - i have all my tables imported from DB to OWB, now how do i make my maps to appear in repository on test? I can see the relevance of location to deploy maps into the test runtime repository, but before then i somehow have to make them to appear in my test runtime repository in Design and make sure they are referencing correct tables etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards

Hello Oleg.
Thank you very much for such detailed and very helpful reply.
You are correct - i have my Design Centre and within it two projects - dev and test.
Dev has all the locations pointing to the Development DB and it has it's own runtime repository/control centre configured.
Test has all the locations pointing to the Test DB and it also has it's own runtime repository/control centre configured.
I have one design centre and two runtime environments.
both dev and test have identical tables etc. I moved the logic over form dev to test (all the functions, procedures etc), i have also imported tables and logic from TEST DB to the test project.
All i want to do is now move over the maps from DEv to TEST. Which is not a problem (copy and paste are helpful), but then the copied maps are still point to the tables in Dev. Which means i have to sync it with test tables - i hope i am making sense here!
I was hoping that there is some clever way of just changing something to effectively tell table in the map 'to point to the table in this database'. If the map is already configured - the only way to do it is to sync the tables, which will enable you to select the DB and table you want your table in the map to be pointing to.
The reason i do not use imp/exp between projects - it is not really reliable. Have to then jump through the hoops ensuring all contrains etc are there. It is safer to just import whatever i need from DB - ensuring all my constrains etc are there.
I do regular exports as a means of 'having a backup copy of the project', but never managed to import anything from one project to another (was easier with OWB 9 where it was possible to amend the .mdl file). It works fine to import back to the project the export was taken from.
I don't have problems with the location etc - took me hours to set everything the way i wanted it to be and now all the deployments are going to the right schemas, DBs etc.
Is there are any other way re-pointing the tables in the map to another DB? Like in the falt files - there is an option to choose the location of the file. So once the location is define/registered etc - you can choose whatever one is needed fromm the drop down on the left of the map.
I hoped there would be something similar for the tables. Like a big bulk option for 'tick here if you want all tables in the maps to be pointing to identical tables in another DB) type thing. Guess something like bulk sync option...
Oh well, guess i just have to stick with sync option (sobbing uncontrolably) and it hasn't stopped raining here for days!
Once again - thank you very much for all your kind help and advice.
Kind Regards

Transporting an object from testing client to development client

Hi,
             This is Sekhar . My question is
If i transported an object from development client to testing client .After transporting object to testing client i got a bug so that ABAP developer should work on that and how could i modify that bugs in testing client .Is it possible to modify in testing client? Is their any reverse transportation from testing client to development client?
please give me reply for my question.
Thanks & Regards
Sekhar Rao

Hi Ankesh,
You said that
"        If there is a bug then make appropriate changes in DEV and transport the object again.
        Reverse transports are not needed and such paths are not created.   "
I am asking that my object is in TES client and i need it in my DEV client again to make appropriate changes for bugs i got.then what i had to do.
please reply me
Thanks & Regards

Unable to transport Integratin Builder objects from Dev to QA correctly

Hi,
System : Pi 711 SPS03
SLD 7.1 with latest model and content
We are trying to transport Integration Builder Objects from Dev to QAS, but the SID translation from DEV to QAS is not working.
The interface is being imported as the source SID.
We checked the SLD configuration for Transport targets, that is when we realised the below issue.
Unable to Assign Business Systems in respective Business System Groups
The expected configuration of the SLD is as below:
UKD_400 - Integration Server for Dev PI 711 server
INTEGRATION_SERVER_UKQ - Integration Server for QAS PI 711 server
XI_QA - Business System Group for all Quality Systems in the landscape
          1) UKD_400
          2) UC1_ECC_60
          3) UED_400
XI_DEV - Business System Group for all Developement Systems in the landscape
          1) INTEGRATION_SERVER_UKQ
          2) UC2_400
          3) UEQ_400
We are unable to put the business systems in their respective groups
All the Business systems are either being assigned in XI_QA or XI_DEV
Please let us know if this is a product error in SLD 7.1, could not find any relevant notes
Thanks,
Govind

Edited by: Govind Prathi on Feb 12, 2010 10:27 PM

We have already assinged the Integration server to their respective business system groups while creating the Business system groups.
   BSG: XI_DEV --> UKD_400( Integration Server DEV )
BSG : XI_QA ---> INTEGRATION_SERVER_UKQ( Integration Server QA)
As per documentation, the business systems should be automatically assigned to their respective Groups based on their association with Integration Server.
But, we are not seeing this behaviour, both the Integration servers are being assigned to the same Business System Group.
Please help me understand if i am something in the configurations.
Thanks
Govind

Was this database migrated from dev or prod?

We have several environments (e.g., development, staging, test, training, production). When migrating a production database to a new version of SQL, we also migrate the related environments. Sometimes the developers want a refresh from production in
development. Sometimes they want the old development database. A question came up about the source of a development database - was it from dev or production?  If I'm lucky, the information I want is listed in the following query.
SELECT rh.[restore_date], rh.[destination_database_name], bs.server_name, bs.database_name
FROM [msdb].[dbo].[restorehistory] rh
LEFT JOIN [msdb].[dbo].[backupset] bs ON rh.backup_set_id = bs.backup_set_id
WHERE bs.server_name <> @@SERVERNAME OR rh.destination_database_name <> bs.database_name
If I'm not lucky, the history is no longer present. This is often the case because we don't keep a lot of history. Is there any other metadata that will help me identify where a database came from? Should I insure that the most recent
restore record for an existing db is not cleaned out, no matter how old it is?  Thanks.
Randy in Marin

I was hoping that the source would have been hidden in a system table some place - reliable and no extra work/politics. I think the answer is looking like, "The information is gone - it can't be done." Yes, a new business process
would certainly provide the information.  However, changing organizational behavior is not for the faint of heart.
I think it would be easier to update the history cleanup.  This would mean that I can't use msdb.dbo.sp_delete_history as it currently exists. It has very simple logic. I might create a version of my own that keeps the records I want.
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedbackdetail/view/967074/sp-delete-backuphistory-option-to-exclude-special-old-records
Not a bad idea. They could put a "keep" flag on the row and let you set it.
Or you can copy out the rows you like and maintain your own table with your own logic.
It would certainly be nice if every backup kept a record of its own source and wrote that to some read-only location in the restored database, but this does not seem to be the case. Maybe I should file a connect suggestion on that - only my perception
and experience with connect is to not waste my time, most suggestions are misunderstood and rejected out of hand.
But what I was suggesting about the business process contents is that it is already there - any dev source database has developer IDs in it that never occur in production, and production databases have only production IDs that you might see are newer than
anything currently in dev. So no change in business process would be required, just some knowledge of what's already there and a couple of queries to count some differentiating factors.
