Migrating BO 5x/6x reports containing Macro to XI R3 Environment

Actually I have a macro in BO-5 with the following functionality:
1. There is a text file having list of customer ID's
2. There is a master report which has a prompt Customer ID
3. User opens a report which has only a macro and enables it
4. The macro internally uses the text file (as mentioned in step-1) , opens the master report (as mentioned in step-1) , supplies each customer ID and refreshes the data and saves as a separate report.
5. Meaning if there are 5 Customer ID's in the text file, 5 reports are generated for each Customer ID in the drive.
After migration to the XI environment, how will the macro work? Where should the text file be located?
Thanks.

You won't be able to multi-burst a Desktop Intelligence document via macros in InfoView.
Alternatives would be to use InfoView Publication - however, that works with Enterprise Users, and not users from a text file.
Alternatively, you can create a Publication with "Dynamic Recipients", where you report off the text file using Crystal Reports.
However, the functionality you're looking for won't be done via macros in InfoView.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Migrating reports containing Macro

I have a report, ParentReport.rep in BO 5.1.7 which has a macro in it. The functionality of the macro is as follows:
The macro runs when refreshing the document.
1. The macro opens a document instance for the Child1.rep report and saves it as text file in the location
C:\Output and closes the document instance.
2. Then it opens another report, Child2.rep and saves it as PDF to the C:\Output folder and sends email to the support team.
I need to migrate the 5.1.7 reports to XI R3 environment with the same macro functionality.
I tried to do the same in XI-R3, the macro works in Desktop Intelligence but while running the same report in Infoview, the macro doesn't work. It throws the error as follows:
Unable to open this document, undefined error","procFC"
Kindly help me.

If you're running it in InfoView, then you're running it in either the Desktop Intelligence Report Server or Job Server.
You can use Program Objects to trigger Deski schedules, but that would be a change in workflow from tying together reports using macros.

Migration of Web Analysis Report thru LCM (from QA to Prod )

Hi All,
When we tried to migrate Web Analyasis Report from QA to Prod using LCM, Security is wiping out in Prod after migration of that WA Report. Can anyone suggest how to retain the security of report after migration in Prod environment.
thanks in advance

Hi Vijay,
I have checked migration utility inversion 9.x basically this migration utility is compatible for reports from version 7.x to 9.x and it is not supported for reports from 9.x to 11.x ....
So i have finally fallowed a procedure.
I have exported the reports from 9.x and imported in 11.x .
Then after exporting i have pointed database connections to new 11.x version server.
Now I was facing a issue when i open a reports in read only mode (i.e as a business user) iam getting a screen where it asks for database details ( I have assigned business user read access to essbase)
Basically this reports are pointing to my old essbase server i.e version 9.x server.
Please let me if iam missing something while exporting and importing reports.
Thanks,
Ram.

Can't get around this error after adding second dataset...A scope is required for all aggregates used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one dataset

I added a dataset to an existing report and broke an aggregation. In the old (i.e. single dataset) report, this expression below worked fine. I wanted to get a distinct count of the vst_ext_id field when my educated field was like "VTE1*"
= CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!educated.Value like "VTE1*", Fields!vst_ext_id.Value, Nothing))
After adding a new dataset, this no longer works and I get the error " A scope is required for all aggregates used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one dataset". Having done some research online, I found that I
needed to specify my dataset explicitly and I thought this new expression might work, but still no success...
= CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!educated.Value,"DataSet1" like "VTE12*", Fields!vst_ext_id.Value,"DataSet1", Nothing))
Am I missing something? Based on online responses, this explicit dataset naming convention seems to help most people, but it isn't working for me.
Thanks in advance!
Brian

I found the answer. Apparently, my expression syntax was off. This expression does the trick...
= CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!educated.Value like "VTE12*", Fields!vst_ext_id.Value,Nothing),"DataSet1")
I just happened upon this particular syntax searching online. I was trying to specify the dataset name after each .value, but I never got that to work. This is the only time I have found this particular syntax online.

Report containing 15 sub reports crashing - Crystal Reports 2008

I am using Crystal report 2008 with all latest service packs applied. I have more then 20 different reports wich work absolutely fine and never crash. One of my report contains 15 sub reports since its bringing data from 15 different queries. This consistently keeps crashing everytime I try to run it. Not sure what could be the root cause.
We are using Postgres database and connected to it with ODBC connection using Microsoft DSN.
- All Subreport data is being displayed on Report Footer
- All subreports are included in the Main report page header section. (I have also tried doing it on report footer section but it still crashes)
I have tried searching through the forum and did not find similar issue resolutions. Did someone face similar problems before?
The crash message is:
"crw32.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry of the inconvenience."
Error report contains this data:
AppName: crw32.exe AppVer: 12.2.0.290 ModName: psqlodbc35w.dll
ModVer: 9.0.2.0 Offset: 0004c538
I am using Windows XP
Crystal Report Version Details:
CR Developer Version 12.2.0.290
Product Type: Full
Let me know how can I debug this issue? Any help is appreciated.

@Don - We performed extensive testing for this crash issue and found that now this crash is not happening only in one scenario. So we have partially fixed this.
Now the report crashes if I get disconnected from database and reconnect. This is what happens
1. open the report in crystal report 2008
2. try to run the report when db is connected- it works fine.
3. Now disconnect the database (we are using ssh tunnel to connect to db so we just close the tunnel)
4. now try to refresh the report - it fails to retrieve data.
5. Now close the report without saving it.
6. Now Close Crystal Report.
7. Now Connect the DB using ssh tunnel so crystal report can connect.
8. Now open Crystal Report
9. Launch the target report.
10 Preview the report - it works for first time.
11. Now do a refresh keeping same parameters - Report crashes here.
- I tried these steps with some of my other reports and they do not crash.
- Now I have only one report which contains a Postgres Query with date range,order by and a union join.
- No subreports now - I am trying to run this one subreport as a standalone report which I created from scratch(using blank report wizard) and just copied the query.
Any more pointers would help.

SCCM 2012 R2 - "Site - Client information" reports contain no data

Hi,
I'm running CM 2012 R2 and have a lot of clients installed. In management console, the clients are active, but Site - Client Information reports contain no data. The other reports, for example, Hardware - Processor etc., show data.
What is wrong?

Do you have a Fallback status point enabled and defined? if not then most of these report will not work.
However Count of Client for each site should work.

Hi Celvin,
Thanks for the reply. Could you please let me know how to perform the LCM migration for HFR.
I am having some issues with my HFR server and so I cannot open the reports. So I am thinking if I can use LCM and export and migrate the reports to another server.
The steps I am performing to do this:
Login to HSS > Application group> Reporting and Analysis> Repository objects> report folder name> select reports> Hit on Export
Now in the exported folder I see three things:
RnA-Reporting and Analysis (Its a folder)
Export.xml
Import.xml
Now under RnA-Reporting and Analysis folder I see sub folders
resource\Repository Objects\Under this folder, I see for every report there is one .xml file and 5 other files for the same report.
Can anyone tell me how to import these reports back into the new environment?
Thanks,

REP-1247: Report contains uncompiled PL/SQL.

Hi learned friends
I have created a batch script that runs rdf generates pdf reports for me at each eod run.
The report errors out:
REP-0736: There exist uncompiled program unit(s).
REP-1247: Report contains uncompiled PL/SQL.
This is the command i execute:
/udd001/app/oracle/product/dev60/bin/rwrun60 userid=/ report=/udd001/app/mu_tosd/ci/reports/GT0009R.rdf paramform=no destype=file batch=yes desformat=pdf mode=bitmap desname=/udd001/app/mu_tosd/ci/eodreport/GT0009R.pdf nonblocksql=no
Now I have compiled all (Ctrl+Shift+K) successfully.
Thanks a mil guys

Hi,
1) did you save the compiled reports?
2) is the connect string you use to compile the reports with the same as the connect string you use when you run your reports in your batch?
hope this helps,
E.

No save and no copy/paste of reports containing charts ??

Hello,
is it correct that there is really no option to save generated reports containing charts (bar / pie) to e.g. the html-format ? Or at least to select the graphic, press "CTRL-C" and in another application (e.g. Word or Excel) "CTRL-V" ?
This generally normal functionality seems really to be missed and is really important for us. Is there anybody out there who can help on this topic ?
Thank you very much in advance.
Best regards
Olav

Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.5 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
Let us know.

Migrating Free Hand SQL Reports

Post Author: sureshan
CA Forum: Migration to XI R2
Hi Buddies,
We are going to work on Migration project.Totally +350 reports from BO6.5 to BOXIR2
Universes and BusinessObjects(Desktop Intelligence) Reports.And all of them are
Free Hand SQL Reports.We are having Oracle10g,Windows Server2003,BusinessObjectsXIR2 SP2
with Java ,Tomcat servers software.
Can any body provide us what type of Basic Procedures to be followed and what type of common errors
will be bombed while migrating the Free Hand SQL Reports.
Its Very Very Urgent.Because we have to give demo to our Client.
Thanks in Advance,
Sun

Hi Sreenivas,
The following information might help you to retrieve the information you require.
There is a universe available as a part of Auditor product for which you need a separate license. This product helps you to have better control of your repository usage. The universe is REP_ORA.
You can create a very simple universe using the OBJ_M_DOCATVAR table. This is a new table in version 6.5.x. This table gives the source of each dataprovider. Full client reports can have more dataproviders, so it is a one-to-many relationship.
If you add the OBJ_M_DOCUMENTS table to the universe and join them by doc_id (OBJ_M_DOCATVAR.M_DOC_N_ID = OBJ_M_DOCUMENTS.M_DOC_N_ID), then you will have the proper document (report) names instead of just the ID numbers.
The OBJ_M_DOCATVAR table is updated each time a BusinessObjects (6.5.x) or a WebIntelligence (2.5) document is exported to the repository (Send to users, Send to Broadcast Server, Publish to Corporate documents).
The basic fields you will need in the report:
OBJ_M_DOCUMENTS.M_DOC_C_NAME: The name of the document. The name of the document is unique for each given document domain.
OBJ_M_DOCATVAR.M_DOC_N_ID: The unique identifier of the document. This value is referenced in OBJ_M_DOCUMENTS. The properties are therefore only applied to exported documents.
OBJ_M_DOCATVAR.M_DOCATV_C_DPNAME: The name of the Data Provider (DP) for the current document.
OBJ_M_DOCATVAR.M_SRC_C_NAME: The name of the source. You can see it in the end-user module by opening a document and choosing to view the data manager. It can be a universe name or a connection depending on the type of Data Provider.

Thanks

Hi Paul
This error usually means that the user that is running the report does not have the required privs on tables or packages used in the report. Solution: Open the report in reports builder. Set the runtime properties (Role) that is assigned to the report. Connect as the user running the report on the same database instance as your run environment. Compile the report (Shift-Ctrl-K). This should show you where the error lies.
