Exporting Webi reports to another server

I have webi reports in dev that need to go to production.
How would I be able to save/export the webi report from the dev server to the production server in webi (without using the migration tool) ?

Yes this is possible without using the Import wizard but its a lengthy process.
Its ok if you have only a fwe reports. For large number of reports it might not be feasible.
Steps:
On your dev environment:
Find out the path of the .wid file using the CMC.
On the basis of this path find and copy the .wid file.
Paste this file somehwre on your production machine.
Create a new Webi report in Production and save it.
Find out the path using CMC. - (A)
Copy the name of the .wid file.
Rename the file that you brought from dev to this file name.
Copy this renamed file and paste it on the path in step (A).
It would prompt you that there exist a file with the same name, hence say yes to replace the file.
Go to Infoview and open the report that you created and saved.
It will open up the report you brought from dev.
Go to Edit Query.
Under the properties tab you would find an option to select Universe.
Repoint this report to the correct Universe.
This should work. Its a little complex but its the only solution if you dont't want to use Import Wizard.
Thanks

      Using Import wizard you can easily transfer wid file (associated with universe + connection etc) from one cms to another.
    Steps are as follows:
    Open Import window:
    In Source environment , enter cms server + password and then click next
    Destination wizard you have to enter destination cms server + password (You can also select a BIAR file as your destination file. Using this BIAR file u can also Import/Export wid file from one cms to another)
    Then you have to select wid files from this wizard (The files you want to transfer )
    You have to select the necessary universe files associated with this wid files (Default it is auto selected)

  • Repeating row texts when exporting web report to Excel

    Dear all,
    When exporting a web report (including a structure/hierarchy) to Excel (via the 'export to excel button), the row texts (e.g. balance sheet texts) appear twice (column A and B)in the Excel result.
    When using the web context menu 'Export to Excel' this issue does not occur.
    I am using a BW 3.5 system which has been upgraded to support pack 16.
    I assume it is the combination of the structure and the 'export to excel' functionality that does not match up, because when I switch off the hierarchy functionality in the web report query properties, the export to excel does not give me any problems.
    Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Arjan.

    Did you write that software, COTS package called Medgate?
    If not then ask that company for support. No one here would know how to fix it. They are using the CR RDC report engine.
    Thank you

  • Formatting error while exporting webi report to excel

    Hello,
    I have a webi report which I have to export to excel . I have the header and the body both in the body of the report. I have the sections in the report and the report has about 40 coloumns. After converting to excel all the coloumns are being minimized automatically , I am having to manually expand each coloumn in excel to see the data.
    I am using Busines Objects 3.1 sp3.
    Can anyone please help!
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Check the properties of the columns in Webi. If they are set to automatic width, this may be causing the problem.. Sections may also have something to do with it. Make a copy of the report and play with the things mentioned above, and see what results you get. This may point you to the problem.
    Also look at the option in properties to export to excel where it considers format over data. It is an option in document properties if I remember correctly.
    Thanks

  • Exporting Web Report to Excel - SAPBW_DOWNLOAD

    Hi,
    I don't understand what do you mean here. Do you mean we could not reduce size in the first time? We have exactly the same problem and the file size is about 20-40 MB. This size is too big to download by end user. It's excel file with .xls extension. When I open it by Excel and then try to Save As, it try to save as Web Page with *.htm extension. If I resave as a Excel Workbook format, the size is reduced to 3-4 MB. My question is the same as the other folk, how do I save it as Excel format with proper size the first time?
    Thanks,

  • Export WebI Report in others formats

    Hi,
    Is there any way to export a WebI report in HTML format. Current only the following output format options are available while scheduling a WebI report:
    1) Web Intelligence
    2) Microsoft Excel
    3) Adobe Acrobat
    thanks!!!

    Hi Alvaro,
    These are the only supported formats. Desktop Intelligence and Crystal support other formats. You might consider the Query as a Web Service which can provide your data as XML.

  • Export webi report to excel print on 1 page

    is there anyway in BO for a webi report when exported to excel to automatically print on one page?
    THe work around is to set the print area in excel itself wondering if it can be done in BO itself
    BO Edge XI 3.0
    SQL 2005

    Hi Dennis,
    BO usually prints documents the way they appear in PDF format.  Hence, if you would like the report to be printed on 1 page, make sure that the report fits into 1 page in the PDF layout (Page Layout) mode of the report.

  • Data source change while migrating report to another server

    Hi all.
    I have actually two questions:
    1) How exactly works the data source connection in CR? If I create a package in database and then connect it with my report, what happens in time of creating the report? Does the CR use the current package version stored in DBS or use the package in version when it be connected with report (so it looks like the CR loaded the code inside the report and are resistant to all changes in dbs)? If the second option is right (I think it is, unfortunately), can it be somehow changed?
    2) And now - If I create report and connect it with data source (database package) in development server and then I want just to move the completed and functional report to test server (and then other environments), is there any possibility to change automatically the data source to test server database? Everything is the same on DEV and TEST servers and their databases, except data, of course.
    The imagination that after creating some reports and migrating them to another environment I have to open all of them and manually change the data source is very very bad.
    Thanks for answers!

    Hi Filip,
    I don't think I understand the first question.
    For the second one though, if you want your reports to work seamlessly across environments then you should have your reports connect to the database using an ODBC System DSN.
    Each Envinronment (Dev, Test and Prod) should have the same DSN Name with each DSN pointing to the respective database sever.

  • Problem Exporting Webi report to Excel in Edit mode

    I have posted this question on BOB forum [http://forumtopics.org/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=189429&sid=8539bfcc4dbbf782ba1a9950085373ed] and found no response so I am cross posting here.
    I have two environments: Enterprise XI 3.1 SP2 and Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 FP3.6. On both instances when I open reports in web intelligence and try to export it to excel (using Save to my computer as Excel) I will get a "file download" dialog box asking me if I want to open, save or cancel. However when I am in Edit mode I get the same options to save/open only in the first instance(SP2), what I get in sp3 is a somewhat different "save docuemnt" dialog box (with a save as type all files not explicitly excel), doesnt allow users to open at all. I need your help to get the file download option to open/save when i export reports to excel in the second instance too. BTW it works fine for PDF export.
    Thanks.

    Please check if matches this behavior and if the suggested solution works

    This is fixed in FP3.7

  • Export a report from another page with parameter problems...can it be done?

    Hi All,
    I have used Dennis Excel pkg which works fine if on the same page... however, I want users to enter two dates in my items
    P5_FIRST_DATE
    P5_SECOND_DATE
    I have manged to create a button that will execute the report on the second page without parameters
    by choosing the redirect to url and this does work...
    however, when i parameterize the url, it still works but does not send across the values
    here is what i am using in the url
    #a href="f?p=102:7:3458199286078769:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R2491013790251874" ##a href="f?p=102:0:3458199286078769:DOWNLOAD_EXCEL:NO::T_REGION_ID,T_EXCEL_NAME,T_PAGE,PFIRST_DATE:R2491013790251874,my_report,7,:P5_FIRST_DATE"
    This does work... but does not putt the parameters across
    Can this be done? or is there a better way of doing this. I dont really want them to see the report because it just a list of urns with dates which the user enters which they will always want to download
    so i just want them to add the dates and download
    thanks for your time in reading this
    cheers

    Fazlar,
    This is how you do it:
    http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=23521:8
    You should never name your items
    P5_FIRST_DATE
    and put the item on the page 8. This is confusing and costs a lot of time to find out an item
    doesn't exist.
