Hyperion to Business Objects Migration

Hi All,
Do we have any tool that would help us migrating/converting hyperion reports to Business Objects WEBI reports? The BO environment would be XI R3. Thanks!
- Noman Jaffery

Hello Noman,
i dont know if there is someting available.
I heared "rumors" that there are tools for converting Cognos Reports to BO reports. But you only get this assistance when you open a OSS Message. But i really dont know if this is true.
Maybe you can raise an OSS Message at SAP to ask for assistance.
Regards

Hy there,
You are converting a DeskI (.rep) to a WebI (.wid) and the list you mention are features that are not supported in WebI except the last 2 which are probably deployment errors. I assume you ran the document through the conversion tool. If you want to keep your DeskI docs in your new environment, you need to use the Import wizard.
Hope this helps...

Hyperion Planning business rules migrating to Calc Manager issue

It was suggested I post this in calc manager as well, so I hope cross posting is allowed!
We are trying to migrate from Hyperion Planning 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2
Our business rules were migrated to Calc Manager by our IT team. The rules run (for the most part).
Our main complaint about this migration is that it excluded our comments inside the business rules and added it's own!
When we first open the rule it is in graphical mode. But on the Script Tab I can see our orignal Business rule, but it's missing comments. Not all comments -- those at the top of the rule are intact, but after it starts getting into the meat of the rule, it loses many, but not all of the comments. When I chose to edit this rule in script mode, then calc manager adds tons if its own comments, making the code very junky to read.
So, multiple questions -- how do we get the migration of business rules to calc manager to stop losing our important comments. Is it possible to get the newly migrated rules to initially open in script mode rather than graphical mode so that it doesn't add it's own comments. Or is there a way to turn off the added commenting?
This is a snippet of our rule in 11.1.1.3:
FIX ("D0P000 Pushdown")
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
ENDFIX
/* FIX on account members that should be rolled up in the AGG statement below. */
FIX (@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
This is what it looks like when it comes up in graphical mode in Calc Mgr 11.1.2.2 (note that comment is already missing):
FIX ("D0P000 Pushdown")
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
ENDFIX
FIX (@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
This is what it looks like when it switches from graphical to script (bonus comments are added):
FIX ( /*DIM:Entities*/"D0P000 Pushdown")
/*STARTCOMPONENT:FORMULA*/
"Accrued Salaries and Wages Pushdown" = "BTL Accrued Sal & Wages Total"->"WBS_I19990_PLAN" * (D0P000->"Total Reg Labor" / "LMSS (LRP TEMPLATE LEVEL)"->"Total Reg Labor");
/*ENDCOMPONENT*/ ENDFIX
FIX ( /*DIM:Accounts*/@DESCENDANTS( "Orders"),
Thanks for any help.

You might learn to appreciate graphical mode in Calc Manager, we do. It is not like the old Business Rules in EAS. I am an old school calc script person, and have NO love for drag-and-drop coding ... I need control. ;-)
Insert a blank script object and paste your code into the 'Script' tab for that object. Set up your prompts and use the {} notation in your code. All of the comments will stay put ... as long as you DON'T USE EDIT, SCRIPT! We make a fair number of generic, reusable pieces of code and save them as shared scripts. These can be dragged into Rules. Click on the Rule's Begin object and choose the Script tab ... you will see how the bits are assembled into complete calc script. We've even come up with a way to use LOOP ... ENDLOOP as though it were a procedural IF statement so we can control whether or not a chunk of code is active or not.
Shared scripts are especially good for currency translation components since we occasionally add new currencies and want to make a change in one object that is used in dozens of business rules.

Can SQL Server (2008 R2/2012) Integration Services connect to Business Objects / Hyperion directly?

Hi,
I have a situation where I need to pull data from Business Objects and
Hyperion using
SSIS (2008 R2/2012). I did some pro-active research on how to go about implementing this on a couple of Forums and could only figure out the below solution.
We can create an ODBC DSN / connection for Business Objects and that can be used by SSIS as a connection manager to directly link to the Business
Objects Universe. (http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?p=622922&sid=fbb54541e1daacf9714a5672b5ed1314)
Question 1 - Has anyone tried to implement this in past? Is this possible directly or can be achieved through some workarounds? sharing inputs/experience on this will be highly appreciated!
Question 2 - If this possible in any way , how to get this thing set-up in an environment where SSIS and BO are residing on two different domains/networks. Any way to establish a connection from SSIS
to the BO instance/server?
Would really appreciate if anyone can help me out with this issue.
Thanks

Migrating Unmanaged Reports from CE 10 to Business Objects XI R2

Hello all,
We are in the process of migrating our report server from CE 10 to BOJ XI R2.
I'm having issues trying to access Unmanaged Reports using a URL. In CE10 we were able to access unmanaged reports using a URL such as HTTP://<servername>/crystal/enterprise10/MyReport.rpt
But now in BOJ XIR2, when accessing reports using an equivalent URL such as http://<servername>/businessobjects/MyReport.rpt
or
http://<servername>/businessobjects/enterprise115/MyReport.rpt I get the below error
WCA plugin error
Message:An exception has occurred in the plugin with message:
Failed to initialize viewrpt component, with path
<INSTALLDIR>/bobje/enterprise115/solaris_sparc/wcs/components/libwcs_xn_reportviewer.so.
Component may be unavailable.
Is this approach not supported now? I know that in CE10 this approach was deprecated but still supported ( as mentioned in note "1217747 - Unmanaged URL web reporting does not work in Crystal Reports 9 (and later) " )
Or, is there something I'm doing wrong?
Is there a simple work around, short of hosting all the reports on the enterprise server and using any SDK.
Thanks for your help.
PS: I copied libwcs_xn_reportviewer.so from CE10 to the required dir in BOJ, and tried again. This time the library error was on another library. Error keeps cascading and I stopped. I know this is not the right approach, but this tells me they must have removed/changed this feature.
Previous Setup that works
Crystal Enterprise 10 on Solaris 8
Sybase 12
Weblogic
New Setup that I'm having issue with
Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 on Solaris 10. Installed SP2 followed by SP5
MySQL ( for testing only )
tomcat ( for testing only)

The first thing you will want to do is to publish all of your reports to Business Objects XI and make sure they all still work. Obviously they won't have the dynamic parameters anymore but you should just ensure they all work and are able to connect to their databases. You can use a tool like the publishing wizard to help you.
All the reports should now be available inside of XI.
Unfortunately you will need to manually modify all of the 400 reports to use the business objects Dynamic Cascading Parameters DCP.
There should be some DCP info in the Business Views documentation.
I hope this helps

Migrating from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects XI / Crystal Server XI

Hi,
Anyone please explain me which one is right,
At present we are running on Crystal Enterprise10,which is advantages
Migrating from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects XI
or
Migrating from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Crystal Server XI
Please explain me the things that needs to be had in mind while going for the migration.
Thanks

CRS is limited to single server installs, it has less functionality such as no auditing. Enterprise can be clustered across many servers, has auditing and webi/deski from E6. So which one is best would depend on the size of your planned implementation and the features that you want.

Migration of Database from Oracle to SQL Server in Business Objects XI 3.1

Hi,
Currently, We are working on Business Objects XI 3.1 and Database is Oracle 11g. And now we have the requirement to migrate from Oracle 11g to SQL Server 2008 R2.
I would like to know what are the key points to be considered in business objects XI 3.1 when the database is migrated from oracle to SQL server.
If anyone can share the Impact analysis document for Business Objects, it would be great.
Thanks,
Lavanyaa TP

If you use business objects tools for such migration , the impact should be minimal.
CMSDBCopy mechanism from CCM should work fine for this purpose.

Migrating Crystal version 9.2 to Business Objects

Is there a target version of BO where I can simply make use of my existing Crystal reports.

Hey Alan,
You can migrate your Cr 9.2 version reports to Crystal XI R2 version.
But it is individual product /seperate installation as crystal designer not included in Business Objects installation.
You can run reports and upgrade to latest version CR 2008.
Thanks,
Navin.

Migration on Business Object 5.1.8

Hi,
Im going to migrate my reports from server A to server B. However under server A, my broadcast agent (BCA) is currently scheduling more than 50 reports. By moving all the reports to server B, can i eliminate the process of rescheduling the 50 reports? Can i make use of the BCA in server B to schedule the reports in server A?
Note:
- Server A will be brought down once server B is bring up which means server A and server B will not co-exist.
- Business object v5.1.8. BCA is version 5.8.8
Thanks for your help.

Where can I find information on migrating from Business Objects 5 to XI R2?

We want to migrate several Business Objects implementations - some of which are Business Objects 5 and some Business Objects 6 to consolidate them into a XI R2 environment.
I have the document that describes migration from 6.x to XI R2 but what is the process for migrating from Business Objects 5. Do I need to migrate from 5 to 6 and then follow the 6.x to XI R2 migration?
Any pointers to additional hints and tips on migration or how to estimate how much effort is involved would also be welcome.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Following are the detailed steps for migration via Import Wizard:
1] Go to Start > Programs > Business Objects XI Release 2 > BusinessObjects Enterprise > Import Wizard.
2] The Welcome dialog box appears. Click Next.
Setting source and destination environments:
3] In the Specify source environment dialog box, set the following:
u2022 Source: Business Objects Enterprise BO 6.5.x.
u2022User Name:
u2022 Password: visor
BOMain key
Note: Do not check the Import Application Foundation contents option since you are not performing Performance Management migration at this time.
Click Next.
4] The Warning page appears. Click Next.
Note: The source repository can store any file, not just supported agnostic documents. Since the BusinessObjects XI Release 2 architecture requires a plug-in for each file extension, it does not import unsupported files (for example, .zip files and as .svg documents used in corporate dashboards).
5] The Specify destination environment page appears. Set the:
u2022 Destination: Business Objects Enterprise BOXI R2
u2022 User Name:
u2022 Password:
u2022 Domain key file to: Default drive: \Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R2
Click Next.
6] Select the types of objects you want to import in this stage of the importing process. At a later stage, you select the objects themselves.
u2022 Select the option u2018Import universes u2018.
Click Next.
7] Import options for universes and connections dialog box appears.
Select the third option: Import all the universes and connections that the selected Web Intelligence and Desktop Intelligence documents use directly.
8] The Please choose a merge scenario dialog box appears. Select I want to merge the source system to destination system and check the automatically rename top-level folders that match top-level folder on the destination system option.
Click Next.
9] The Incremental Import dialog box appears.
You may need to import some objects more than once from the source repository to the destination repository.
In this situation, you have the following update options:
u2022 Overwrite object contents
You select the types of objects for which the content overwrite applies:
u2022 Documents (including dashboards and analytics)
u2022 Universes
u2022 Connections
When you re-import an object, it will completely overwrite and replace the matching object (and its associated files) that you imported earlier.
u2022 Overwrite object rights
When you re-import an object, its associated security rights will overwrite the rights of the matching object you imported earlier.
If you decided not to import security in the Security Migration Options dialog box, then the Overwrite object rights option is not relevant, and is therefore not available.
If you don't select any overwrite options, the matching object in the destination repository will not change when you try to import it again.
Note: This dialog box appears only if you select update as the import scenario.
Click Next.
10] Select the specific universe
Click Next
11] Information Collection complete dialog box appears.
Click Finish
12] Import Progress dialog box appears.
Click Done
Hope this helps !!
Please revert in case of any queries.

Migration of SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.1 from Windows(OS), SQL Server(DB) to AIX(OS) and Oracle(DB).

Dear All,
I have SAP Business Objects BI Platform 4.1 running on window servers and sql server database. We want to migrate this to AIX and oracle.
Can you please share what should be the best approach to carry on this migration?
Regards,
Asleh

Hi Mohammed,
Regarding your Query below is the suggestion:
Step I: Preparing for moving BOBJ application from Windows to AIX
There are some tasks that you need to perform:
To configure the existing deployment
Perform inventory and cleanup, to ensure that only the required content is moved.
Run the Repository Diagnostic Tool to detect any inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository. The upgrade management tool will not run successfully if there are inconsistencies between the File Repository and the CMS repository.
Identify any content that the upgrade management tool can't upgrade, along with the process required to upgrade that content. There is some content like Voyager Workspaces or Desktop Intelligence documents that require manual intervention before running the upgrade management tool.
Back up existing repositories, including the system database and the Input and Output File Repository Servers.
Back up custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.
To configure the planned BI 4.x deployment
Setup and configure the Middleware and ODBC connections.
Ensure that your machines meet the deployment system's requirements, you can find information about the supported platforms in the Platform Availability Matrix (PAM) http://service.sap.com/support -> Help and Support -> SAP BusinessObjects Support -> Documentation -> Supported Platform s/PARs -> SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.x
Step II:
You can use database backup & FRS backup (Offline) in new environment (AIX) to deploy BOBJ 4.x Version
Take the help of DBA to move CMS & AUDIT database backup from SQL Server (Windows) to Oracle (AIX)
Test the Universe,reports, Check the rights
Step III:
If you are configured any SSO then make sure that same configuration is deployed in new environment (AIX).
Test the user SSO in new environment (AIX).
Or
You can also use Promotion manager to move the contenet from Windows (Business Objects Application) to UNIX (Business Objects Application)
Only prerequisite is Business Objects Application version should be same.
You can copy content only 50 Object at a time in One Job
FRS Offline backup is required.
Necessary files regarding custom web applications, HTML pages, and scripts in your existing deployment.

Migration from business object to oraclediscoverer

this in oracle. this is urgent.

Hi,
My ex-company used to use BA for reporting, and subsequently they moved over to PCA.... with minimal impact of course.
A few considerations :
1. Is your PCA active? Rightfully the profit centres are usually set up as statistical cost collector.... but you might need to check if there is any configuration that prevents cost/revenue from posting into PCA
2. Is the hierarchy in PCA properly set up? Functionally speaking, BA is no difference to PCA since they are both measuring the business by funcational area.... You can create standalone hierarchies in PCA to capture the business reporting, such as legal reporting structures, or Line of Business structures.
3. What kind of reporting is used for Business area.... are they present in PCA?
I think you'd have to think through the steps carefully... if point 1 is met, the change in reporting would be simple enough. Otherwise, you would have to consider how to bridge the data gap.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Gimmo
