Greatest Conversion Tool Yet!!!

Just got my new Nano...and wanted to share some info, in hopes someone (like me) will find it useful.
To upload video files (movies, shows, clips) that you have either downloaded or have previously stored - you need to convert the file (avi,mpeg...) to the IPod/Itunes required file extension = mp4.
To do this...you need a file converter - very simple and easy to use. The best one I have found so far is Best program I have found for converting videos is :
Best program I have found for converting videos is :
Free iPod Video Converter 1.32 build 852 (goto downloads.com)
I just uploaded my first vid to my Ipod, and it worked amazingly well. Benefits : 1 - FREE...don't pay for something when you can get it for free...and the end result is the same. 2 - lets you control both audio and video quality. 3 - no viruses, spam, trojans or any of the other junk you find with 'free' programs.
I was extremely impressed with both this program and it's quality of service. I thought I would pass along this tip in hopes someone else finds it as useful as I did!

Thanks for this nice info chaos2304!! There is another software that quite a number of iPod users like to use to convert videos - MPEG StreamClip. Now we've got a choice between 2 converting softwares! Nice post, dude. Haven't had a chance to convert and transfer any vids to my nano yet though ever since my external HD crashed.......lol. Will try some time today!

CSS to ACE conversion tool

Hi ,
Is their any CSS to ACE configuration conversion tool

Currently, there isn't one available yet, the conversion tool is embedded into the software image of the ACE. Not sure if there are plans to make it standalone, I have been looking for those answers as well.

Hi,
Are there any plans to release a standalone CSS/CSM to ACE config migration tool? (just like the CatOS to IOS tool)?

Conversion tool question

Again, I have a question regarding the conversion tool, BIPBatchConversion and it's output.
In the original report there is a line like this
Report Year : 2008
where 'Report Year :' is boilerplate text and 2008 is the selected parameter when the report was run.
In the converted .rtf file this has been implemented as a two column table like this :
Column 1 in the table:
Report Year : &F_year ( all boilerplate, no form fields )
Column 2 in the table contains a form field with syntax <?P_YEAR?>
The strange thing is that this form field has the default text, F_year ,which is the same that is used in the boilerplate text in column 1 !
Will this work ?
What is the meaning of the boilerplate text &F_year ?
My expected behaviour would be :
'Report Year :' as boilerplate text, directly followed by the form field containing the parameter P_Year
Customer has several hundreds of Oracle Reports which we would like to autoconvert with minimum hands-on.
If simple things like this is failing, we will not be able to use the conversion tool.....
I have no access yet to customers database, so I can not verify if the converted report is working.

Nonsense. You can use the conversion tool to get the converted rtf files. Touch up work is usually required no matter what.
To answer your question, you will need to fix the substitution variables that are used as boiler plate text.
Example - Reports6i bad practice: Personally, it's a sloppy practice to do that since a frame could be used and should be used
Report Year: &P_YEAR <-Will not convert
Fix in BIP:
Report Year: <?.//P_YEAR?> I believe I answered your question, don't forget to give me the points.

Problem when execute report Conversion Tool XI 3.0 on a client

Hi everyone,
When I use Report Conversion Tool on a client (not on Webi Server Windows 2003) I have an error (a red cross appears) before the conversion.
I believe that RCT can not open the document to migrate.
All it's OK when I use RCT since the Webi Server.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
Thank you for your prompt response.
I have install all the client tool (even SDK, Query Web Service) except Assitant migration source de données, Gestionnaires Vues d'entreprise et Gestionnaire de traduction.
I think I have a problem of rights on my Windows 2003 Server because in the log of conversion (C:Documents and SettingsUtilisateurLocal SettingsTempconversionUSER146731693logsD30860242.xml)
the following lines are written :
Note that I do the conversion with the Administrator login.

Report Conversion Tool - problem with logging in table OBJ_G_MIGRATION

Hello Community-Members,
since several days I am searching different BO-Communities for a solution, but I didn't find any threats about my problem.
I am new to BO XI R3.1 and I want to convert deski-reports with the report conversion tool.
I tried it directly on the server-machine and all is ok (report is converted inclusive the logging in the audit-table OBJ_G_MIGRATION).
When I try it on my client-machine, the conversion is made successfully, but there is no result in the audit-table.
On the client-machine, I use the same connection like on the server machine and on both machines, I am logged on (in the report conversion tool) with the "Administrator"-user.
Has anyone an idea? Could it be a problem of user-rights in the Oracle-DB?
kind regards
Guenny

Hello Denis,
thank you for your reply.
From my client machine I can successfully test the connection to the Audit-DB. With non BO-Tools like "SQL Tools1.4.1" I can also connect to that DB.
After your reply I have tested once again and I have found something else strange.
If I convert a deski-report, and the conversion-status is "not converted", the Audit-DB is written (for example: error-text = "document cannot be read" / workaround = "remove protection password if set").
But when I convert the same report together with an other report, which will result in "partially converted", nothing is written to the Audit-DB (same effect as when I convert only reports with status "partially convertet").
regards
Guenny

Upgrade from ICM 6 to 7 (TR) -- Domain conversion tool / UMT

Hi, we are currently upgrading from 6 to 7.0 and subsequently to 7.5 (TR, new hardware, new domain, new instance). So far we've staged our W2k3 domain and all the other soon to be ICM servers.
I'm currently trying to migrate the domain users and it tells me that I need to use the Domain Conversion Tool to go migrate the domain users from 6 to 7. (Staging guide chpter 4)
I can't find any documentation on the Domain Conversion Tool, when I run the executable I can see the different triggers (below) but that's it.
I've done an export and gotten a file but what next?
Do I do a convert now?
is the convert going to change my production database?
I'm also reading that the Domain Conversion Tool was replaced by the UMT (for 7.0 to 7.+).
Or should I now use the UMT and point it to my export file?
Im afraid to run the convert and and messing up my Rogger sideA database?
Has anybody use this tool?
any tips and or documentation is appreciated. Thanks
D:\ciscoutils\domainCnvTool>domcvt
The syntax of this command is:
DomCvt.exe /DB:dbname /F:filename /M:mode [/OD:old domain name]
          [/ND:new domain name][/P:password]
   /DB:dbname           Specifies the database name to operate on (e.g. cust1_sideA)
   /F:filename          Specifies the full path of the file to import or export to
   /M:mode              Indicates export mode or convert mode
                         E Export mode
                         C Convert mode
The following switches are only needed in Convert Mode:
   /OD:old domain name Specifies the old domain name to convert from in NetBIOS form (e.g. MyDomain)
   /ND:new domain name Specifies the new domain name to convert to in NetBIOS form (e.g. MyDomain) or DNS form (e.g. MyDomain.mycompany.com)
   /P:password          Specifies the default password to be set for all the users in the new domain
Use quotation marks when there are spaces in the file name or password

Hi,
From the 7.x(y) Staging Guide:　
Common Steps Required before Migrating any ICM ComponentOn the Domain Controllers:
Confirm that Domain Controllers have been upgraded from NT Domain to Windows 2000Active DirectoryOn the CallRouter Server:
　\RouterA\Router\CurrentVersion\Configuration\Global\DBMaintenance.
Note:
If moving a CICM with SideA and SideB disable the Configuration changes on bothsides.
On the Logger server:　
Copy the Domain Conversion Tool (DomCvt.exe) from the ICM 5.0(0) or ICM 6.0(0) Third-PartyTools CD as applicable (Domain Conversion Utility folder) onto the Logger server.
Export the ICM user list using the DomCvt tool using the following command:
domcvt /DB:<instancename>_sideA /F:c:\DomConvert\userlist.txt /M:E.
And then lower down in the guide:
On the Logger server:
Step 18
Run the Domain Conversion Tool to convert the ICM users exported earlier, using the followingcommand:
domcvt /DB: <instance_name>_sideA /F:c:\DomConvert\userlist.txt /M:C /OD:<old_domain_netbios_name> /ND: <new_domain_netbios_name>Note: You can use the /p option to create a global password. If you do not use the /p option,the password is reset to null.
I'm looking to run this myself shortly. The only caveat with this info is that its extracted from the section related to ICM5 and migration from multiple to single forest ... so possibly not the correct info. However, there's not much documentation on this as you've seen!

Have you installed the RCT on the server hosting the CMS service or via a client? I have had this problem myself and resolved it by installing / working directly on the server.
Hope this helps...

MySQL to SQL Server Conversion Tools

Anyone know of any FREE database conversion tools?

It's not a tool, but you might find Microsoft's documentation helpful. You might also post this question in a Microsoft SQL Server specific forum.

Which conversion tools used in Sales, Shipment, Invoce, and other.....

Guys,
I know in general that best conversion tool for Customer Master is LSMW. What about the rest of the data to be converted to SAP such as Material Master, Sales, Shipment, Invoice and other historical data? Which tools do we use for these? Do we use LSMW again?
Thank you.

HI,
Yes LSMW can be used and you can also use CATTS to migrate data from Legacy system to SAP.

Report conversion tool--Can we modify the query

Hi all,
I have some freehand SQL reports converted into WebI reports. I understand that report conversion tool, creates a new universe for each of the freehand SQL report. But if I try to edit the query, like add a filter condition, an error pops out.
Is it possible to edit the query if we convert freehand sql reports into webi reports?
Regards
Ash.

Hi,
Yes it is possible to edit the query for the converted free hand sql query.
If you see any problem while editing the SQL of the converted report, do a refresh once and try.
Adding query filter also works fine.
Issue from your end could also be due to security settings.i advise to revisit the security once and make sure all appropriate rights are available for the user.
Thanks,
Sri

DDL Generation/Conversion Tools

I am looking for a DDL generation tool, preferably command line, that can convert DDL of one RDBMS to another - say DDL of Oracle schema/table to MySQL/SQL Server & vice-versa. I have reviewed Oracle's SQL Developer - its DDL generation is one way MySQL to Oracle, SQL Server to Oracle etc.
I would prefer a general-purpose DDL conversion tool/utility if one exists! Also, is there a way to use GGs DDLGEN for this ? I have explored this a bit but it seems all conversions are from Tandem DDL to DDL of various RDBMS.
Thanks,
Satish

Satish,
You can use DDLGEN to perform some basic DDL between systems but you'll likely need to make modifications to the .tpl file. Otherwise you may want to look into some other paid tools on the market.
Good luck,

Conversion Tool in batch mode

During a migration project from BO 6.5 to BO XI r2 SP3, the process of conversion to WID is decomposed in many steps (due project reason)
In folder <install dir>\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\win32_x86\scripts there is a batch file called migbatch.bat.
With this file is possible to call conversion tool in batch mode.
One parameter is a XML file, but I can't found a description how to build it. I think it contains REP list.
Do anyone know the XML structure?

OK I'm still not clear on whether or not this is supported but I did find an old adapt where they attempted to add this functionality. Does this help?
2> Create a xml input file which contains the File names to be converted using the RCT UI mode.
3> Now run the batchmode in the command line using the following syntax.
Go to C:\Program Files\BusinessObjects\BusinessObJects Enterprise115\win_32x86\scripts.
Syntax usage:
Usage:
-h[ost]: cms name (by default hostname is used)
-a[uthentication]: secEnterprise(default), secLDAP, secWinAD, secWindowsNT
-u[ser] : user name
-p[assword]: user password(optional)
-x[ml]: xml file
-l[og]: log file
-t[race]: yes, no(default)
4> Check the log files after conversion (chk the log entry for the "Not Converted" reports)
