Convert crystal reports to OBIEE?

Does anyone know of a tool that will convert crystal reports to OBIEE or how difficult it is?

There is no tool as both products are from different vendors. You need to manual conversion, mean get the requirements noted form crystal reports and build them in OBIEE from scratch. Using BI PUblisher is recommended,as most of the crystal reports uses custom sql.

  • Migration of Crystals Reports into OBIEE

    Hi,
    I have to migrate Crystal Reports into OBIEE without using any third party tool.
    How could it be done..any one can help me please...???

    Just follow the instructions bellow:-
    Reports generated automatically in the 7.5 Excel client that use the EVDRE function with a standard use of built-in parameters can be converted using the EPM add-in to a native 10.0 report.
    EVDRE migration has been developed in order to migrate as many features and use cases as possible, but reports that have been heavily customized may not be totally converted automatically and may require some manual modifications. Nevertheless, the objective of the migration is to provide usable reports at the end of the migration. The exact conditions include:
    o Multiple EVDRE reports in a complex arrangement or sharing some KeyRanges
    o Formulas to calculate parameters
    o Use of cell reference indirections to determine EVDRE parameters.
    o Use of VBA to call the internal object model of the 7.5 Excel client.
    o EVDRE inserted in another EVDRE.

  • Converting Crystal Report 2008 report into webi

    BO XI R2 SP1
    Crystal 2008
    Windows 2003
    I was wondering if it is possible to convert reports built in Crystal 2008 into webi using some mechanism within BO. Please help if  you know how to do that.
    Thanks!

    Sorry.There is no way to do this. The RCT only converts Deski documents to Webi.
    PS: This question was previously asked and answered [here|Converting Crystal Reports to Webi;.

  • Converted Crystal Report Not Executing in Info View

    We are in the process of testing BOXI3.1 sp2 fix pack 2.8. The problem we are having was not occurring in BOXI rel2.
    After saving a Crystal Report developed with version 11.5.0.313 using CR2008, the report was run successfully within Crystal Reports.  I'm assumming that the report was converted to 2008 format due to saving the report.
    The report was then saved into the repository from Crystal Reports.  After logging into Info View the report was scheduled.  The report that normally returns results in less than 5 seconds from Crystal just hung in Info View.  After 4 hours the the task was cancelled.  Even though Info View presented that the report was "running", there ws NO thread started with the database.  This was confirmed by our DBA
    The report was rewritten from scratch using CR2008. This report was able to execute to import this report
    to Info View without error.

    Thanks for your response.
    Before I read your response, I tried tweaking my reports and was able to resolve the issue.
    Steps taken to solve the issue are the following:
    a. Value not showing one field of four (4) reports.
    Solution: I created new ones and integrate it in VB 6. The values are now showing. Tweaked on the line object properties, got a problem with the extended line but solved it by adjusting the height of the detail section.
    b. Value not showing in sub-report.
    Solution: My report used a shared variable so I can pass the condition to my sub-report. I used the new reports and just pass a query during runtime. The values in the subreport is still not showing. I added a formula and called the value in it. Values in the subreport is now showing.
    I'll try to update the crystal reports version as suggested at a later time.

  • Is there a way to convert Crystal Reports to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services?

    Post Author: Lourdes Hernandez
    CA Forum: General
    Our department has always worked with and we love Crystal Reports. Unfortunately, certain reports now need to be converted to Microsoft SQL Server 2005 reporting services which from what I read I think they are *.rdl reports. Does Crystal reports have any way around this? I would have to learn this other tool when I'm already so happy with Crystal. I was thinking If I could just code the report in crystal and export it in a specific format that would be compatible Microsoft, the problem would be solved.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Ditto!
    There are some software packages to convert from CR to RS, but none work 100% AFAIK, and will require manual tuning.
    Seems like a big hassle and learning curve just to get reports published via another method - I know I'd put up huge resistance if they tried to take my CR away from me!

    you will need access to the CMS DB and FRS from CE10 in order to migrate to XI 3.x, typically this is accomplished via network. If you can restore them to the same computer a side by side (install CE10 and XI 3.x on the same server) may work as well.

  • Converting Crystal Reports to Oracle BI publisher Reports

    Hello,
    We are trying to convert the existing Crystal Reports to Oracle BI publisher. Hence, I was wondering if any of you may have undergone this conversion process and would let me know how to approach this task?
    Are there any tools that can be used to convert the Crystal Reports to BI publisher. I am aware of the Oracle listed tools for Oracle Reports / Actuate Reports to BI Publisher. But, I dont find any for Crystal Reports.
    Thank you for your time.
    Regards!!

  • Converting Crystal Report to Business Objects

    I am looking at a requirement to convert some Crystal Reprts to Business objects. Perhaps one who has done this can advise some of the issues here. What is straightforward and not, how to go about, how do you convet formulas,. etc

    Which Business Objects product are you looking to convert to? WEBi, DESKi, other?
    If so there are no conversion utilities, reports would have to be rewritten. If the Crystal Reports were based off of a Universe then the same Universe could be used but a new webi or deki report written from scratch.

  • Crystal Reports for VS 2010 Keeps asking to convert how to stop it?

    I have converted a Web Application from VS2008 to VS2010.  I downloaded and installed the VS2010 Visual Studio version and the conversion seems to have gone alright and after the conversion a dialog box came up to ask if I wanted to convert Crystal reports from a previous version to 2010.  I said yes and everything seems to work including the reports in the converted site.
    However, now every time I open the solution in VS2010 the same dialog box pops up asking me if I want to convert the Crystal Reports to version 2010.  I saw an other similar question by a user but the answers he got were not applicable to my sutuation.
    The environment we have is TFS 2010 based and I created a new branch of the solution in quetsion and did the conversion using VS2010 as described above.
    It may be that I have to make some manula changes to some files to set a flag that the reports are already converted?  I may have to do this manually? 
    So the question is how do I get rid of / disable the dialog box asking me to convert each time.
    P.S. I saw references to a beta version on Crystal Reports for VS2010 I have never had this on my computer.  However, I do have both VS2008 and Crystral Reports 2008 and VS2010 and Crystal Reports 2010 loaded on my computer and I will need both installed for the time being until conversion to VS2010 is complete.

    All I need to know is what it is that the CR for 2010 software looks at to determine that an upgrade is required.
    - Not as simple as that. There are all kinds of variables that may cause the issue; from runtime, to references to web.config to VS2010 and so on...
    1) make sure the config file has only assemblies of version 13.x referenced.
    2) download the [Modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility and see if your project is loading any older versions of CR runtime
    3) uninstall CRVS2010, do a repair on VS2010, reinstall CRVS2010

  • Convert MS Reporting Services Reports to WebI

    Does any one know a tool to convert reports

    Hi,
    I've never heard of such tools.  Obviously those are 2 different vendors.
    You can't even convert Crystal Reports to Web Intelligence or the other way around!  Even Deski to Webi is not always perfect...
    Anyway, unfortunately you'll have to rebuilt those reports.  Webi supports SSAS as a source and SAP has other tools able to connect to OLAP sources.
    Sorry!
