Migrate Access Reports to APEX

We already built reports by using Microsoft Access to query one Oracle Schema (11G R2) and generate all the access based reports. We would like to migrate the Access based reports to APEX platform, Are there any best approaches to achieve these? Thanks for your help.
Kevin

You DON'T MIGRATE Them, you will have to recreate them in APEX.. Have you done ANY development work before in APEX? If Not, I would suggest this tutorial to help learn APEX..

  • Migrating Access DB to Oracle Hosted APEX environment

    I was wondering if there was a way to migrate an Access DB to the Oracle Hosted APEX environment using the Oracle Migration Workbench? You have to specify the location of the DB and schema and I don't know this information since the DB location is on the Oracle Hosted site. I would like to evaluate the migration functionality of the APEX tool without having to download it locally along with Oracle 10G. Is there a way to do this using the Hosted website?
    Thanks!

    The quick answer to this is no.
    However, there are some services (http://www.appshosting.com) which do offer that type of access at no charge.
    Thanks,

  • Can Oracle APEX access/report against an Oracle9i datbase?

    Can Oracle APEX access/report against an Oracle9i datbase? I know APEX has to be installed on Oracle 11g or 12c. I have a 11g environment to install it in, but I want to have ti read data from an existing 9i databasethat we are unable to upgrade at this time.

    APEX can create reports on any data that the database (which is running APEX) can access.
    This becomes a database question that is usually found in the General forum:
    How can an Oracle 11g database access data from an <place a name of a database here> database?
    One common answers:  Database Links.
    (Materialized Views and Golden Gate come to mind... but, again... these are database problems, not APEX problems.)
    I'll let others comment on the practicality of these solutions.

  • Converted access app to apex when run get no data found; table does have da

    COnverfted MS Access app to apex. WHen I run the appliation I get no data found.
    However the table does have data. HOw do I see what is actually running?
    The pre-converted form saids its based on a query. The form and the query shows up as valid. I then converted the form. When I run it I get no data found. If I take the query that the form is based on and run in sqlplus I get data.
    Another confusing thing is when I look at the page for the converted form, there is nothing in the source area for the region where the converted query results should be.
    Did the conversion not work? How can I tell what is the source? Where should the results from the query be located?

    Its a standard SQL query:
    SELECT xtbl_MSDS_to_CAS.msds_id,
    xtbl_MSDS_to_CAS.cas,
    xtbl_MSDS_to_CAS.alias,
    xtbl_MSDS_to_CAS.amount,
    xtbl_MSDS_to_CAS.veh_prod,
    xtbl_MSDS_to_CAS.compliance
    FROM xtbl_MSDS_to_CAS
    The name of the above query lets say for example purposes is MYQUERY.
    After looking at the page def I see that the way the conversion tool worked is that in the page definition it has this in the Processes Section:
    After Header:
    Fetch Row from MYQUERY.
    Then it says automated Row fetch.
    I compared this to another form that was converted thru the migration APex tool as well and on that form that does work I found that:
    The query(form) was converted and placed in a region and the source has the query. THat is, it was not in the process section but in the region: source section.
    So why does the conversion tool decide to convert one and populate as a region source and the other as a process in the page definition?
    THis is all very confusing.
    Hope you were able to follow me.

    Hi
    the issue here is that one of the developers altered the procedure dbo.CreateObject proc which prevented the report manager from uploading (creating ) new reports to
    SQL Server .
    I restored the proc from another SSRS SQL Reporting Server and it fixed the issue.

  • 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

    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

  • Query of the complicated rdf-report in apex-report

    I try to migrate rather complicated rdf report into Apex. I have sucesfully converted the reports file xx.rdf into:
    1. xx.xdo file
    2. xx.rtf word file
    3. xx.xml data file
    4. xx_S.pls and xx_B.pls as package files in database
    The converted xx.rtf file is OK with all fields and images in right places In the Word I get a beautiful xx.pdf report when I start the preview using converted xx.xml file as the data file. -- The problem is just the package file with its several functions. The xml file has also many levels of data formed by tags like <list_g> etc.. Many of Word fields are CF fields from reports (xx.rdf) which now are as package functions with the same names.
    Is there any direct way to generate the Apex report query whic form the xml data file? It seems impossible to start create an Apex query from the package functions and trying to embed on it all the same fields as in xml file. Is it possible to somehow use xx.xdo file and bi publisher as help.
    Thank you very much.

    Okay, there is some confusion there.. You said: "In our case the customer is not willing to invest into Oracle Reports", Yet you are converting an Oracle Report file for their application, is this NOT their report file?
    Then you said " Also the customer is not very eager to use its BI Publisher for Apex reports " But APEX WILL be using BI Publisher for the PDF generation of the report, do they understand having Bi Publisher running the report that APEX can get the PDF from Bi Publsiher?
    Sounds like the customer is rather snarky on their requirements..

  • Access Reports, Forms in Oracle Database

    Hi,
    I want to migrate one application from MS-Access to Oracle(8.1.5) Database.
    I know, migration of database is possible,but I want to keep the existing Access reports and forms as it is.
    Is it possible, Can Access reports and forms run under oracle database.

    Initially you write 12345 and when you modify you are modiyfing only 3 bytes from offset 1 and hence the results. When you modify oracle will not erase the complete lob you need to use erase before you modify (write)

  • Migrate Webi Report / Universe from Dev to production

    Hello,
    there are lot of possibilities to migrate a Webi report or a universe  from Development server to Production server. my question for the experts is what is best practice scenario to do that. What should i take in consideration.
    if i rename my Production universe, place it in an other Path and  base my migration on the option "compare name and Path" of the universes. would it migrate ? What about the Connection ?
    My Target when migrating Universes. Is only to migrate the universe without connections
    But when migrating Webi Reports is to migrate only the reports without universes or connections. But at the same time be sure that the Report is adressed to the right universe in the Destination System.
    Is that realistic .. Thanx ..

    Prerequest:
    You should have Remote access to both the server the BO is installed
    Approach1:
    Login to source server
    create a folder with the name temp.biar in the desktop of server 1
    Go to import wizard of server 1
    select server 1 as source and temp.biar file as a destination and import all that required to biar file
    from server 1 connect to server 2 and place this biar file in some shared folder
    connect to server2
    open the shared folder and copy that biar file and place it in the desktop of server2
    Go to import wizard of server 2
    select the temp.biar file from desktop of server 2 and destination as server 2
    and complete the process
    Note: as we are doing this in remote, there will be lot of issues while connection to path which sometimes even the erro r message will mislead us....
    Approach2:
    dont create any biar file
    Login to server 2
    Go to import wizard
    select server 1 as source and server 2 as destination and move directly from server to server
    Approach2 is not preffered if server 2 is production serve....
    this may help
    Thanks,

  • Interactive Reports and APEX 3.0

    hi -- I built some initial prototype pages (forms, reports, etc) in Apex 3.0. Have recently upgraded to 3.2, and in building more reports I see that there
    is an option for an Interactive Report (and it's the default). Was this available in 3.0? I was new enough to APEX that I may not have picked up on it if it was... but what I can see is that for the Reports I created in 3.0 (Where the region is PL/SQL function body returning SQL Query) there is no option, in the Region Definition, to migrate the report to an interactive report (as it appears there should be, from looking at post:
    Can we change a report to interactive
    The only task option is undo region source.
    If Interactive Reports weren't available in 3.0, is there any way to convert existing reports? Or would I just need to re-create them?
    Also, is there a tabular form that also supports interactive report features? I'm guessing not... but thought I'd ask.
    Thanks,
    Carol

    Interactive Reports were introduced in Application Express 3.1:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.1_new_features.html
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/apexusr31/apexusr31.htm
    I will try and find a link about the conversion details (updated below).
    You only get the conversion option on the right hand of the screen for the Standard SQL Reports, not "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)".
    If you were to change it to the standard SQL type (which may not be possible) it would give you the option after applying the change. Interactive Reports only work on standard SQL queries, and not SQL generated from a function body.

  • Conver rdf file to the report in apex

    Hi,
    I have to migrate my report from rdf to apex... Is there any way to do it...
    Thought of doing converion to xml in middle. But perhaps, the form2xml doesn't accepts this xml file...
    any one please help me out on this..
    Thanks,

    There is no equivalent in the APEX environment.
    Classic/Interactive reports use SQL to generate a web page.
    BI Publisher could be used as an alternative reporting mechanism to generate PDF/office documents, but there is no reason why you couldn't call Oracle Reports from APEX - if you retain your application server, of course.
    The statement of direction for oracle development tools provides a good high-level overview of oracle's recommended options.

  • Intgration of crystal reports in Apex

    Hi,
    I want integrate crystal reports with apex.
    Could any body tell me , is it possible ?

    Yes, I'm familiar with Apex's report options. That's fine, but here's the deal: We are on the west coast and our parent company is on the east coast along with the server holding our company's Oracle database and all the security along with it. Our company uses PeopleSoft and I create Crystal Reports that are stored in PS. Because I have to do all of my development remotely, it is ridiculously slow (up to 5 seconds and sometimes even 11 per mouse click - you can pull our your violins, but I'm used to it.) I can write queries remotely on this database and save them as .xls or .csv files locally to dump into Apex, but have no direct access any deeper than that.
    We're using APEX to convert a bunch of old Access databases and in the meantime, I thought I had the brilliant idea that if we had our own single user copy of Crystal, I could use the APEX database for Crystal, completely independently of any need for Crystal within APEX. This way, I could use the Apex database to do my development locally, then save the report remotely, open it there on the remote instance of Crystal, make the needed naming changes to formulas and fields and keep a few less gray hairs from growing.
    Make sense?

    Hi,
    Could you please try the following test:
    This error message appears because the Connection Server is down or disabled. To start or enable the server perform the following steps:
    1. Go to Start > Programs > BusinessObjects XI > BusinessObjects Enterprise > Central Configuration Manager.
    2. Verify the Connection Server is started with a status of running.
    3. Highlight the Connection Server and click the 'Start' button if the server is stopped.
    4. Click the 'Enable/Disable Servers' button, log on, and verify there is a green up arrow next to the Connection Server.
    5. Click the check box for the Connection Server and 'OK' if there is no green up arrow to enable the server.

I have migrated the reports across but for some users, when they open up the FR report in Workspace they get 100's of zeros after the value in the report.

  • HTML links from Full Check Accessibility report do not open the corresponding PDF links

    I regularly generate full Check accessibility reports for the PDF user guides I create in MSWord. However, when I click the links in the HTML file/report generated, they are supposed to link/highlight the corresponding errors in the PDf file. Instead, I get an error message that "There was an error opening this document. Bad parameters."
    How can I get the links to work so I know which section in my PDF has the error (inaccessible items).
    Thanks

    I understand you are creating HTML reports and then using them to find errors/view the PDFs. 
    Is this a new problem or  have you always had problems with the links?  If it's a new problem, what has changed on your system?
    Can you view other PDFs in your browser? 
    Have you moved any of the files since you created the report -- as you may know the HTML report references a specific lcoation on your hard drive and if you moved the PDF after creating the report, it may not be able to find the file.
