Import/Convert reports from different software.

Post Author: cchang
CA Forum: General
I am a recent hire to a company that is using Relation&Report Writer for database reporting. Previous to my hiring the company purchased Crystal to replace the current report writer because of it's limitations. The problem I have is I don't want to rewrite all the existing reports but would like to use Crystal exclusively and get rid of the old writer. I would like to know if anyone has ever tried importing or cnverting old reports to Crystal? Is it even possible? Thanks!

Hi Ella,
You can exclude universes and connections to get import while importing , import only reports if those reports using same universe.

Convert report from 4.6c to 4.0b

I want to convert report from 4.6c to 4.0B ..can somebody tell me the steps or coding i shud do for that.The output shud b same of that report.
How can I do that??

hi hARISH,
what I would do is to copy the report into 4.0B (one to one) and would do a syntax check. If there are errors, I would correct. Of course if such FMs are called which don't exist in 4.0B you could be in trouble and have to look for a workaround.
hope this helps

Import Data Table from Different DB Schema in BI Administration

Here is my scenario:
Tables are imported from different DB schema in Administration. They are then joined together.
When I select fields from more than one schema in BI Answer, incorrect result is returned.
Below is the SQL it returns:

It seems that query has been seperated into two, and doesn't have relationship between each others.
However, I also tested the same situation in other environment, and it returns correct result. I found that the query hasn't been seperated into two, but one. The query is as below:
-------------------- Sending query to database named BI (id: <<2392>>):

This query returns correct result and seems reasonable.
Assume that the setup in BI Administration is the same for both environment, why the first situation returns query that are separated?

I have made the same remark but not with two different environment and same design.
What can influence the construction of two queries ?
Here some ideas :
- if you have of course two connections pools (I assume not)
- if in our database features (double click on the icon and choose the tab feature), full outer join is not supported
But I have this two requirement on my laptop and I can see that I have also two sql fired.
What you can do is to make a comparison of your two repository.
In the administration tool, File/Compare.
The result will be very interesting.

Imported Crystal Reports from CE10 with specified server group problem

We have Crystal Reports on a CE10 Environment where we have assigned and scheduled them to different server groups in order to throttle workload and maintain customer service levels. When importing these reports to BO XI 3.1, it appears to bring over the server group with the report (it's visible in the CMC) but when a normal user goes to do a schedule on the report in InfoView, it fails, unless they go to the Scheduling Server Group' area on the report schedule options and select 'use first available server'. All of the other options were greyed out. If I log in as an account that is the member of the 'Administrators' group, it shows the option 'Only user servers belonging to the selected group'. Am I missing a permission/security setting? The user doing the scheduling has the 'Schedule' security profile on the report.

Must grant user rights to view server groups and servers in order to allow for scheduling to specific server groups or servers

Consolidate report from different contexts

Hello, is there a way to build a report that consolidates virtual indicators from different contexts?

One approach would be to build a set of PAS measures that bring together the data, and then report from those measures.

Report from different connection pools

Hi All
My requirement is as below.
When USER1 logs in and builds a report from a subject area then the data is fetched from connection_pool1 and when user 2 logs in and builds the same report then data is fetched from connection_pool2.
The data are in identical table structures in both connection pools but for user2 there is a restriction on the volume of data hence can this dynamic feature be implemented? and How.
thanks
swastik

We cannot do this dynamically,We need to change this manually

Importing Expense Report from legacy to Oracle Payables??

All,
I need to import ER from legacy to payables. I used ap_expense_reports_headers_all & ap_expense_report_lines_all tables. But the "Expense Report Program" is not picking up the data from the tables though i populated all the required columns of the tables!!! When i open the "View Output" it says "The conc.request did not create an output file"!!!
Can anyone tell me what could be the reason behind the failure of the program?
Do I need to populate anyother column to resolve this issue?
Detailed response is highly appreciated.
thanks in advance,
Sen

Steps to import into AP
Navigate to the Accounts Payable Responsibility
Go to View -> Requests -> Submit a New Request -> Single Request -> OK
Submit the Expense Report Export Program, after specifying all the mandatory parameters
Source parameter should 'Oracle Internet Expenses'
To view the expense report created
Navigate to the Accounts Payable Responsibility attached to the User
Go to Invoices -> Entry -> Invoices
In the Invoice Workbench Window query the Invoice Num field with the Name of the Expense Report created in the previous step. The Invoice is displayed in the Invoice Workbench with the Type as Expense Report

Polish after unicode convertion - Language from different codepage how-to

Hi,
we have just convert a sendbox system from ASCII (SAP 1100 codepage) to Unicode (SAP ECC 6.0, Solaris 10 SPARC, Oracle 10.2.0.4, ecc.).
In ASCII, TCPDB table contais 1100 codepage, now is empty, is it OK?
Now we would try to install Polish language.... so I load it from SMLT from 000 client, apply delta support packges, run supplementation and then add L into istance profile, it OK? ... must I install also Polish locale into Solaris? ... any other work?
Regards.

> Now we would try to install Polish language.... so I load it from SMLT from 000 client, apply delta support packges, run supplementation and then add L into istance profile, it OK?
- execute program RSCPINST, add "PL" and activate the changes
- open RZ10, edit your profile, "Basic maintenance" and select PL, save and restart instance
- then add the language as described with SMLT (import, delta support package, supplementation and client distribution for your production client)
> ... must I install also Polish locale into Solaris? ... any other work?
No. You are now in Unicode, the necessary libraries are the libicu* libraries in your kernel directory, those are the (if you want) locales for the operating system. So nothing more is necessary.
To display the polish characters correctly in the SAPGUI you need to
- install the polish codepage on the frontend system
- switch the default from "Arial Monospace" to some other font that supports Latin-2 (such as Courier New)

CS3: Any way to Batch convert files from different directories?

Using CS3. I want to open a bunch of TIF files and re-save using different file options. The only way I know to do this is with File > Automate > Batch. But that only works if the destination folder for all files is the same. It's not.
Ideally I would not need to first open the files in Photoshop. Perhaps something with Bridge will work. Tools > Photoshop > Image Processor looks promising. There's even an option called "Save in same location", which does not do what it says so is totally useless.

>Bridge and Finder. They might both be running, but they are two programs that aren't Photoshop to do one simple thing Photoshop should do already by version 11.
The whole point is that Bridge is supposed to be used as an integral part of the CS4 SUITE.
I keep Bridge CS4 running at ALL times (it uses a minute amount of resources when it is just in standby mode) and I consider it to be an essential adjunct to Photoshop particularly if you deal with digital camera files.
I use its "Get Photos from Camera" to download from my card reader in preference to Nikon's download program; and I open whole batches of RAW files for processing in Bridge-hosted ACR 5.2.
ACR 5.2 also handles scanned Tiffs and JPEGs.
And I use Bridge to output Web Galleries; attach files to e-mails; collect aliases of all the files of any kind (and from any folder) that are needed for a particular project into a single Collection: and generally to organize file storage throughout my System.
The only thing that I can't yet do directly from Bridge is to burn a Collection to a CD or DVD.
Hopefully, someone like David Franzen will create a Script to do that too?

Import XML files from different server

Hi All,
We have successfully used JavaScript to import local XML files and generated the PDF files on InDesign Server CS4.
Now, we need to import the XML files which are dynamically generated on the other Server. (Data Managemnt Server).
Wondering what's the best way to do this?
Can we pass the whole XML file content as a JavaScript Parameter? What about images?
or Can Javascript Import an external XML file via HTTP, other protocol?
The worst case I guess is to have a script to upload XML files onto InDesign Server........
Also, is it possible to return the generated PDF back to Data Management Server (XML file Server)?
Thanks,
xin

Hi ,
Check the FM : /SAPDMC/LSM_F4_SERVER_FILE.
