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!!

How migrate crystal reports to oracle bi publisher ?

Hi experts,
i have a experienced with development of crystal reports.
now my work demands migration of crystal reports to oracle bi publisher.
may i know how to converts all crystal reports formula's in oracle bi publisher ?
any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Simple answer, there is NO easy way to convert them.. You will have to get the layout from your crystal report file, then get a copy of data to test query to build data is returned in proper sequence to replicate report.
If you were converting from Oracle Reports to BI Publisher, then you would have it easier..
Just be happy you are not where I was 2 years ago.. I had over *600* crystal version 8 report files and started looking at converting them to BI Publisher...
Thank you,

Create a an Table of content or an Index page in report in Oracle BI Publisher

I want to create an Index page for my multi page report in Oracle BI Publisher. Any help would be appreciated.
I am using MS word 2010 for creating the template (*.rtf file). Please let me know if any more details are required.
I am creating a rtf template for generating a report in oracle BI Publisher. The report displays the details for all the products used by the customer. Report contains 1 product per page. All the products have same template.
What I want is to create an Index page, which displays the product name and the page number of the report in which it is generated.
For eg. Customer Papa Johns uses 10 products. The report generated will contain below details: 1st Page -> Cover Page containing Basic details of customer.
2nd Page -> Index page containing the product names and the page numbers
3rd page: Product 1 details
4th page: Product 2 Details .
and so on.
INDEX
Product Name Page No.
Anchovies 4
Apple Topping 5
Bacon 6
Barbecue Sauce 7
Barbecue Sauce2 8
Chicken Topping 9
Dough 10
Please note that the number of product will be variable(may increase or decrease), hence there may be case when the index page takes more that 1 or 2 pages just to print the product names and their respective page numbers.

FSG Reports in Oracle BI Publisher

Hi All,
Can any body tell me, how to run the FSG reports from Oracle BI Publisher without submitting it from Oracle EBS 11i.
Thanks & Regards,
Abdul.

Hi
i think there is no option to run FSG reports from BI Publsiher, as FSG reports are defined in Oracle EBS Financials suite.
but you can take xml file and run it from desktop based on rtf file
Thanks

How to validate the input parameters in Oracle BI Publisher reports

Hi
i am new to Oracle BI Publisher
I am using OBI for generating simple reports.
here i need validation for input parameters (Date Parameter) and also want to disable the Date filed so that user can select through the calendar component.
Here validation in the sense, the system must validate the date and alert the user with an appropriate message
Can anyone please provide me the solution in detail.
Thanks in advance
Edited by: user10185520 on Aug 26, 2008 6:15 AM

I have the same task to validate input parameters with Oracle BI Publisher 5.6.3 running under Oracle eBS 10.5.10.2. My validation goes beyond of what I can do during parameter registration. I am using Data Templates.
My first logical place was the before report trigger. So, I built a report trigger which returns 'false' in case the parameters are not proper. Guess what... XMLP just returns a hard-coded message
!!Error : trigger '" + datatrigger.getName() + "' returns status as 'false'
First of all, this is a bad style to hardcode messages visible by the user (especially during French implementation). Second of all, it is not informative at all. It would be nice to change oracle.apps.xdo.dataengine.XMLPGEN.executeTrigger() to read, for example, a message from the message stack when the trigger returns 'false' and let the user read it.
Anyway, what I did was I built a special data group, decalred before any other data group, query like
select my_package.my_validation fro dual
If parameters fail the validation my PL/SQL package throws an application exception with a message. At least, in this case the error message gets available as the description of the concurrent request.
I wish the before report trigger worked!!!

Dynamic layout formatting in Oracle BI Publisher reports

We are creating a planning report in BI Publisher, where in we have a requirement of dynamic formatting based on the month we are running the report. In the report we have different months as columns which displays the values for different KPIs (displayed in the rows).. Now, we need the current month data be highlighted down the column for all KPIs. This means that if it is April, April would be highlighted for all KPIs. Next month when we are currently in May, April would no longer be highlighted and May would be highlighted for all KPIs.. How can we achieve this via BI Publisher? Any help regarding this is really appreciated.

Oracle BI Publisher Report from OEM12c data is not getting refreshed...

Hello,
We've integrated BI Publisher with EM12c. I've developed a report which checks a given database extents information (initial, next, maxextents) at tablespace level. The dataset is chosen as EM repository. The report runs absolutely fine until new data is added to a database. For eg, I created a new tablespace. The new tablespace related info is not getting refreshed despite the fact that I've refreshed the data source and checked that the tablespace exists in the database.
Can anyone pls help.
Thanks,
Dhananjay

Dhananjay,
Has the data in the EM repository view been refreshed? The report retrieves data via the published repository views. If the view does not display the latest information, then you will have to wait till the relevant config or monitoring collections are complete.
