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,

  • 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 to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing p

    How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing parameter to it.
    how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.

    how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.This would entirely depend on crystal reports and you might find informations on crystal reports related communities more likely...I for one have seen crystal reports the last time about 12 years ago. And even back then I simply acknowledged it's existence instead of working with it.
    Maybe crystal reports can be invoked via a URL call which would make it simple as you'd need simply build an URL and show the report using web.show_document. But that's pure speculation. Also you might not be the first with this requirement, so the solution to your problem might be right under your nose and just a little google search away ;)
    cheers

  • How to integrate Crystal Report  with oracle JDeveloper 11g

    Hi,
    How to integrate Crystal Report  with oracle JDeveloper 11g

    I dont think that you can integrate Crystal Reports with JDevelpoer but you can use runtime libraries to your project to get crystal report functionality
    To know more please go through supported platforms

  • Trouble migrating Crystal Reports Custom Functions from BOXI R2 to BOXI 3.1

    I can't seem to migrate the custom functions from the custom function repository in my R2 environment to the 3.1 with FP 1.3 environment.
    When I migrate Crystal Reports using the Import Wizard, they all come over and they retain their custom functions, however, they don't bring over or create a new custom function repository. 
    When I do run the import wizard I have selected the repository radio button, but it does not have any affect .
    How can I migrate all of these custom functions without having to manually open up reports and placing them back into the repository on the new server?
    Thanks,
    Randy

    Hi,
    so if they are published to Rel.2 this looks different.
    Just to clarify it a bit more...these Files are no Datasources for Reports and Universes and your Users dont consume them via InfoView?!
    Whats the purpose for these Files? If they have none, you can de- select them in the UMT and dont migrate them (or better said move them cause you wont actually migrate .csv files). But if nobody touches them, you can move them with the UMT during daily business...how long it will take i cant estimate it. But 65GB for .CSV files is a huge amount.
    But you are correct, to move them from Rel.2 to BI4 you have to use the UMT.
    If you have the ressources and time i would recommend the following (Thats what i usually do with my customers):
    1. Setup a Machine (could be a VM) with the same OS and BOE Version (included SPs and FPs) as your production Rel.2
    2. Schedule a half day or day Downtime to copy the content 1:1 from the production Rel.2 to the VM Rel.2 with the IW or CMS DB Copy. Or do this after Business Hours.
    - With this Size of your FileStore i would recommend the CMS DB copy way.
    - Now you have a 1:1 Testing Environment of your Production Environment
    3. Use the UMT to migrate from your VM Rel.2 to your BI4 installation
    - Here you can see how long it takes
    - You can check if the UMT is capable for this 65GB transfer
    - Can sort out other possible issues
    - Do some other Testing
    After you did that you have a perfect estimation on how long the Migration will take and what for issues you are facing. With this information you can decide if you need a downtime or can do it after Business Hours f.e.

  • Crystal Reports To Oracle Conversion

    Has anyone gone through a Crystal Reports to Oracle Reports conversion? It appears from my limited review of what is available in Oracle Reports that Crystal offers alot more flexibility in how reports and charts can be formatted and displayed, and it also seems to be easier to retrieve/manipulate data as well. If anyone has any insights as to pros/cons of Oracle Reports vs Crystal, please post them.

    hi
    try something like this.
    DECLARE
    charWinHandle VARCHAR2(50);
    numWinHandle NUMBER;
    BEGIN Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'BUSY');
    charWinHandle := Get_Item_Property('Control.Rep',Window_Handle);

    :reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
    numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface );
    Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'DEFAULT');
    END;NOTE: Change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
    the "Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName" method call. Also, the connection string shown
    assumes that you will use the current USER and PASSWORD for the Form.
    - To make the above Form generic so that you can run any Crystal report from it, then create
    a parameter for the report name and pass it to the Form using CALL_FORM from any other Form.
    Then just replace the file name with the passed parameter.
    -. Run the Form

  • Pls Help: View Crystal Report Via Oracle Form Builder

    Hi!!
    I want to know how to view the .rpt report (report made from Crystal Report) via Oracle Form Builder. I've to do it in my project. If you know, please tell me.
    Thanks in advance,

    I don't know how does crystal reports work, and I would guess you should ask the crystal guys to help you with this. find out if they have a command line interface that you can invoke from the host command in forms.
    We can help you do it with Oracle Reports though :-)

  • Look and feel discrepency after migrating Crystal Reports from XIR2 to XIR3

    Hi,
    We are migrating Crystal Reports from XIR2 to XIR3. If the report is designed in Crystal client by inserting a subreport it does not come well in web viewer(Infoview). If I do not use subreports then the view is same (both in web viewer & windows client preview).
    Could you please let me know, what could be the problem and how to resolve this?
    Your valuable time and solution is much appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    What happen if you use the web java viewer instead of web viewer? (you can change it in the preferences options)
    Otherwise, when you say "it does not come well", what do you mean?
    Thanks

    It's urgent. Your valuable time and solution is much appreciated.

    I moved your thread to the " .NET - SAP Crystal Reports" forum, assuming this is in a .NET app(?)
    Unfortunately, the description:
    " does not come well in web viewer"
    is somewhat "loose". Perhaps inserting a link to a screenshot(s) that demo the issue will be a good idea?
    Also, if my assumption is correct:
    1) What version of .NET?
    2) What is the exact version of CR? (In CR designer go to Help | About)
    3) What browser?
    4) Does this work on you dev system?

    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,

    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
