Convert BO 4.1 universe & reports to XI R2

Hi Experts,
I would like to convert the Business Object 4.1 universes and Reports to the BO XI R2 environment. Please let me know what is the procedure to follow for this upgrade.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Mahadevan.

the only way i know to import universe from old versions of BO to the new one to be able to convert everything from the old to the new version is the IMPORT WIZARD
and sinec the import wizart working from only versions 5.x
i think you should call the business objects support team.
there is not direct way to convert from 4.1 to XI
good luck

  • Can't convert stack XML file using report RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK for upgrade

    Hello Colleagues/ SAP Experts,
    Here is a background. 2 weeks ago, we have generated an XML stack file using MOPZ in solman 7.1 for the following systems (P6D which is DEV,
    P6Q which is quality, P6R which is regression and P1P which is production). We were at our technical cutover rehearsal phase and the system that we were rehearsing was P6R. But AFTER our technical cutover, a new java component, which is seeburger as2 adapter, was installed in P1P, PRODUCTION. Thus, the landscape  of P1P has changed as a new component was introduced and we believe that the generated XML file 2 weeks ago will no longer be valid for P1P. Instead of generating another xml file thru mopz for P1P, we would like to use report RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK_XML to convert the XML file OF P6R to map it toP1P.  I have uploaded P6R XML and the target is P1P. So as you can see, P6R XML (source) --> P1P target.
    Actions already done are the following:
    1) Fulfilled and followed the resolution in note: 1711612
    RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK_XML Report Troubleshooting
    2) SAP-OSS is working in SM59
    Basically, program RPT_MOPZ_COPY_STACK does not convert the Regression system's xml to the target, which is production. Kindly see attached screenshot. *the screenshot shows only 1 component in error but upon clicking the 'next difference' button, it will still show other components. I have checked my lmdb settings, will there be workaround for the issue?
    Regards,
    Meinard

    Hello Divyanshu Srivastava / Reagan Benjamin ,
    Thank you  for your replies. Yes I noticed that a new higher patch for one java component was already present when I have regenerated recently for production using mopz. Anyways, SAP has returned a message wherein they edited the xml file themselves. Most of errors were eliminated only error was kernel versions was not matched. We need to upgrade kernel of our production and test if it works. Hopefully it will. Thanks though at first we did not edit the xml as according to one sap note I read it will not be supported by SAP. Closing this thread now

    Hi,
    You can use all the statements in HR also.
    For getting the AB values,there are macros and function modules available.
    Macros:
    rp-imp-c2-b2.
    You need to pass b2 key values before calling macro.For eg,
      MOVE pernr-pernr  TO b2-key-pernr.(since u r using LDB)
      MOVE year         TO b2-key-pabrj. (year you need to pass)
      MOVE period       TO b2-key-pabrp. (month)
      MOVE '1'          TO b2-key-cltyp.
    have a look at these Function Modules also.
    HR_WORK_SCHEDULE_TIMES
    HR_TIME_RESULTS_GET
    HR_TIME_RESULTS_IN_INTERVAL
    HR_WORK_SCHEDULE_TIMES

  • UNIVERSITY REPORT | MacBook Pro Review

    Greetings MBP Users,
    I'm a Princeton marketing student completing a comprehensive report on the Apple brand. My focus is on the transition from PowerBooks to MacBook Pros, plus the shift to Intel chips.
    My question for you: How happy are you with your MacBook? Detail the PROS and CONS, and share some creative solutions to improve the next generation of Apple portables.
    Your comments will be compiled on this university-wide project. Although your insights will be an integral part of the research, your identities will remain anonymous to conform with privacy policies of the school.
    I encourage you to invite your friends to submit their reviews. More responses means more accurate results.
    Just a friendly reminder before you begin - please be as objective as possible. This thread is not designed to disagree with opinions or discuss problems. Be clear and concise. The bottomline is I want to hear your OVERALL IMPRESSIONS.
    I appreciate your participation! Thank you in advance.
    Best to all,

    Hi Joseph. I replied to the locked out thread. I'll chime in here as well with more objectivity to your re-worded question.
    CONS:
    Universal Apps not all ready - but we expected this
    Not tested enough? Problems would have surfaced. Don't make the end users your R & D team - that's Microsoft's greatest shortcoming. Test them more before releasing them as the new superior computer
    Pricey. But state of the art, so... Think of it as a hot-rod.
    CPU whine on a percentage of the units - no action *so far* from Apple
    Excessive heat - much more than what the PowerBook series generated
    PROS:
    Apple's Customer Service was flawless - can't say enough about it
    Out-of-box experiece was wonderful. Quality packaging even - very impressive, very detailed
    VERY FAST computer. AMAZING speed
    Great overall, superior package of hardware & software
    Mac OS more seamless & stable - tho my Windows experiences were not as far-fetched as Mac enthusiasts in here make them out to be
    Sleek, stylish, almost makes you proud to take it out and set it up
    Attention to detail. Even the MacBook Pro logo that's laser-engraved into the screen bezel reflects light and looks 'top-shelf'
    Overall fit & finish exceptional (though some are not happy with the lid latches not closing all the way - but compared to most other brands but Sony & Lenovo, pretty much a non-issue)
    Aside from frustration about Apple's response to heat and whine in general, mine doesn't exhibit whine, and it shouldn't for the price I paid. But I'm very content so far with using my unit as a total desktop replacement for a very powerful PC (3.4 Ghz, 2 Gb ram, multiple SATA drives, etc.). I'm still trading up to the 17" MBP to have on-board FireWire 800 & other features, and, in the hopes that it runs somewhat cooler. Hard drives should not be in high-heat environments. As long as the 17" doesn't whine, I should be more than content.

    Hi Joseph.
    I'm a first time Mac purchaser, after years of making music on PCs professionally with everyone people telling me that it cannot be done. I've been skeptical about moving to the Mac platform for this reason. I've even had some Mac die-hards laugh when I said that I've been producing professional music projects on PCs for years. Oddly, when I listened to their own productions, they sounded like C**P - which was a reflection on them and not their computers. So I've been fairly tongue-in-cheek about the whole idea of switching to the Mac platform. But I have many colleagues running Mac platform, and my switching ensures total compatibility on some large projects that I'm working on this year.
    I actually had several other PC manufacturer's quotes printed out and was ready to buy. The Mac representative called me in follow up to my online price inquiry. I merely priced a unit and saved it in an online shopping cart in the online Apple Store. They called to follow up, which very much impressed me, and frankly, that sold the unit. And spend away I did - nearly $4,000. 2.16, 2 gigs ram, APP, software, keyboard, mouse, printer -- many extras of all sorts.
    The whole customer service experience and out of box experience was flawless, and had me preaching Mac brand within hours - I couldn't be happier. Then came the online forums, and the horror stories of other MacBook owners and what they're dealing with...
    I found that the MacBooks have stereotypical problems that are NOT being handled properly by Apple. Some new build problems ARE being addressed well - namely the inverter problems with the displays. But the CPU whine is another story entirely, as is the heat being generated by some units. It seems that some units are running MUCH hotter than others, and actually burning the skin of users. Users are actually getting out laser heat guns and running their own tests on the units out of frustration from Apple not responding, and posting the results here. Some units appear to be running as much as 20 deg. C higher than others under load. Remember, that's NOT Farenheit, but CENTIGRADE. Users are now tearing down their own machines and attempting corrections to fix some of the irratic heat problems on their own - even out of risk of voiding their warranties.
    Users with these problems are being treated very poorly at the Apple Stores. They're told by Geniuses and managers that the obvious problems are 'within spec' and therefore a non-issue. Yet anyone that buys the book to do, say, audio recording, is quickly finding that the unit cannot be even used in the same room as a condensor microphone without employing a work-around for the CPU whine, because it's too loud. It's also too loud for a basic meeting room setting as well, users are posting.
    These are VERY expensive units. They're not cheap by any means. And this sort of treatment, or ducking of the issues is totally unacceptable.
    The way that Apple is avoiding direct response to these known issues is a VERY poor marketing strategy, and causing people to wonder if they're slipping in their historical customer-service. Seemingly Apple is very quietly dealing with users and avoiding any sort of recall or public statement.
    My personal 'customer service' experience with Apple has been wonderful, and a breath of fresh air compared to some past experiences. My unit is quiet and though it runs VERY hot, mine's not out-of control as some others are expriencing. But watching others go through so many hassles - mostly consumer-advocacy related - expecially after they've spent a boat-load of a lot of money on a top-of-the-line notebook is disheartening, and frankly it's scaring me away from the brand very quickly. From a marketing standpoint, Apple needs to publically address these issues, and quick.
    They're slipping on this one. The MacBook Pros have some issues - at least the 15" ones do, and they're avoiding talking about it. Many users are waiting to see if the new 17" units that are shipping this week are experiencing any similar problems. I'm one of those people.
    One last marketing flaw that Apple has made is not announcing the 17" ahead of time to those purchasing the 15". I bought mine, and less than 14 business days later, the 17" comes out with more options, FireWire 800 that I desperately needed, and it ships for $50-$100 LESS than mine. Not a great way to make new owners of 15" models happy about their purchase.
    Good luck on your thesis. Working on one myself.

  • Audit Universe/Reports

    Where can I find the Universe and Reports for Auditing. I've seen references to a biar file, but no name?

    Jim,
    What version and package name of BusinessObjects do you have?  For instance, the BOE Premium has Auditor bundled, but not necessarily so with other BOE products unless you purchases Auditor separately.  If you have the right version of BOE, then do a search for m29.cab on your system, that is where the BIAR for Auditor usely resides...  Also, you'll have to set up a database area (or you can use a new, dedicated database server) for auditor, establish a ODBC/DSN connection, and go through the motions of re-installing BOE, selecting the Auditor option before trying to play with the m29.cab file....  A good document to get a hold of is the Auditor PDF (xir2_bip_auditor_en.pdf) which give you more insight to administering the product.
    Thanks,
    John

  • Text format in XML is converted somehow to number in report

  • How to avoid links/paths get converted into tokens in teststand report

    Hi,
     I was trying to get The hyperlink for some of The files in The teststand(4.0) report for a particular custom step made in labview 8.5. I was able to get The link correctly when The path specified does not contain any tokens(\N, \T,\R,\n,\t,\r,etc).
    For example if my Folder name is "New" inside which my file is present(C:\NEW\test.txt). The teststand automatically converts "\N" and "\t" in The path to tokens.
    I am not able to resolve this.
    Can anyone help me in this regard.
    Thanks,
    Praveen
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I got the soultion for my query, working on it for an hour.
    Solution:
    If the path for the text file which was linked in report was :C:\Testing\New Folder\REPORT\test.txt
    and if the report file is parallel to the test.txt file: C:\Testing\New Folder\REPORT\test.xml.
    then for the link for absolute path in report :  C:/Testing/New Folder/REPORT/test.txt
                   link for the relative path in report : "test.txt"
    If the path for the text file which was linked in report was :C:\Testing\New Folder\REPORT\files\test.txt
    and if the report file is parallel to the test.txt file: C:\Testing\New Folder\REPORT\test.xml.
    then for the link for absolute path in report :  C:/Testing/New Folder/REPORT/files/test.txt
                   link for the relative path in report : "../test.txt"
    This is working for me, hope this works in every case.

  • Converting from rpt to oracle reports

    hello all
    i ld like to know if i can convert report in RPT to oracle report ,and how i can do it , if its possible ?
    regards

    Hi ,
    With what application is RPT is generated ? Oracle Reports supports extensions only like RDF, REX, REP, XML(Report XML type), JSP(Report JSP type), TDF(Report template binary file).
    Oracle Reports converter application(rwconverter.exe in 9i) allows different conversions possible. This application has a UI which will list you all the source types that are allowed as drop-down list and one another drop-down for Destination types.
    Hope this helps.
