Migrating Cognos Reports to Birt

Hi,
I am relatively less familiar with Cognos.
What is the best way to migrate a bunch of Cognos Reports to Birt.
I have the Cognos Report files and the query definition file from Cognos.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I am not aware of a tool that directly converts Cognos reports into BIRT reports.
However, I am not overly familiar with Cognos reports.
If there is an API or a system available with Cognos reports to programmatically read their contents, you could then use the BIRT Design Engine API (DEAPI) to programmatically build report designs based on what is read from the Cognos designs.
Alternatively, each report can always be rebuilt individually using the BIRT Report designer as needed.

  • Migrate cognos cubes to essbase

    Hi,
    Does anyone know the steps to migrate Cognos cubes to Essbase 11? I've no idea where to start from other than doing it manually from scratch, like building the outline & loading data.
    Can we export metadata & data from Cognos in a format which can be loaded to Essbase w/o much tedious manual task?
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Hi Srinivas,
    Thank you for quick reply.
    could you explain me process little bit clearly.
    can you explain how to extract the data from cognos cubes to the relational layer?are there any third party tools for doing the same?
    How do you compute complex calculation in cognos.can we do scripting in cognos as we do it is essbase using calculation scripts.
    for eg :do you incorparate if else st in cognos(thinking in terms of reusability).
    How can a security be migrated from cognos to essbase.
    Have you used any third party tools for migration.
    What is "report matrix " I don't have idea about cognos.
    and some more things you followed
    Thanks!

  • Issue in BI Publisher when migrating oracle report RDF to BI Publisher

    Hi, I am migrating Oracle RDF report to BI Publisher while migrating this report I am facing problem in viewing data as per my report requirement

  • Margin Issue(pdf) in migrating 6i report to 10g

    Hi,
    After I migrated the report from 6i to 10g, I found the report printing issue comes out. Every report printing is not same as 6i, move the data to left and top about half cm. I searched this forum, I got clue was i can add reports_add_hwmargin into registry, then I can add printer margin into the report. I found it works when i run the reprot from 10g builder. But when I generated it into pdf format through IDS then print out, the problem is still there. How can add printer margin into report with pdf format?
    My environment is
    app server 10g
    report 10g,
    windows xp
    Thanks in advance.
    appcat

    Try a Compile All ( Ctrl - K ), then Ctrl - T.
    Not sure about XP, but in Vista, the 10g Builder and batch compiler will crash if a PLL Library is not available when the form is compiled.
    Make sure the PLL Library is available, and all its objects compile in the 10g setup.
    If that does not help, then try a semicolon-to-semicolon replace all, then save the fmb. Then restart the Forms Builder, and open the fmb again, and try compiling.
    Here is an old link describing the issue:

  • Layout issue while trying Migrate Oracle Report to XML publisher Reports

    Hi
    I am trying to Convert Seeded Oracle Reports (rdf) to BI Publisher reports, in doing so encounter layout issues. The layout of the RTF , PDF or HTML generated by BI Publisher is different form the text, PDF or HTML outputs generated by the concurrent report. The problem with the BI Publisher template and out put
    Is, the lay out is getting distorted .
    Steps to archive the migration :
    -     download the rdf from the server to local m/c.
    -     execute Forms 9i Util rwconverter to generate a xml
    -     use the oracle.apps.xdo.rdfparser.RTFTemplateGenerator API to generate a RTF template of the report layout
    -     Then use this template to generate a XSL via oracle.apps.xdo.template.RTFProcessor API
    -     The Apply the XSL on the XML data output of the report using oracle.apps.xdo.template.FOProcessor to generate RTF , PDF & HTML files.
    Name of the Report used for migration “FSG - Report Detail Listing” , responsibility GL super User. This was just a random report we picked-up for trial.
    The layout of these files seems to distorted than the layout of the original report output as generated by the rdf report.
    Pls suggest some means to resolve this or any pointers towards what causing this could be of help.
    -     Shudipto

    The process of "converting" an old Oracle Reports rdf into a BIP report is more akin to writing a brand new report in BIP than to what most people would consider a true conversion.
    The conversion routine outlined by Oracle just gives you a starting point for converting RDF layouts into BIP, and nothing more. In regards to the data define it does somewhat better generating your queries and XML layout (but honestly, that is the easy part), but even for the data define it will lose your formula columns as well as report triggers.
    I have used the converter on several dozen rdf files and I have yet to see one that is better than 10-20% ready for use after the conversion process.
    I would strongly suggest that you only convert the reports that you have to convert (for enhancements, modifications, etc). If it ain't broke in old Oracle Reports, dont' try to fix it in BIP.

  • Migration Status report

    HI
    Shared services status report is not being updated, when ever we kick off any batch or any migration defination i do not see the migration status report being updated.
    can any one help me with this isssue.
    Thanks,

    Could it be that the username that you are using for the migration doesn't have all of the rights it needs for the app you are trying to migrate?
    IOW, have you tried it with just plain admin instead of test_admin?

    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 Crystal Reports Server XI to a new Server

    Post Author: david_okeefe
    CA Forum: Deployment
    Hi,I am trying to migrate an existing Crystal Reports installation from an old server to a new server.  To prevent interruption of service, the new server must be able to be online at the same time as the old server (thus it must have a different name).  I installed Crystal Reports Server XI and told it to create its CMS database by copying the existing CMS database.  Unfortunately, I received an unspecified error ("failed to received first object from source database").  After that, I opted to create a new, default CMS database.  I tried using the import wizard to migrate the reports to the new server.  The import wizard managed to bring over all of the folders, users, and groups, but not any of the reports.  When I looked at the migration log, it gave me an error stating that it could not find the parent folder.  I have no real idea how to address this issue.  On a related note, I also do not know how to point crystal at the reports repository on the new server.  I tried using the Data Source Migration wizard to copy the reports from the old server to the new server.  Unfortunately, it didn't appear to register any of the new reports.  Given what I have already tried, I am not sure how to proceed.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,David

  • Migrating Crystal reports 8.5 to XI

    Hi All,
    I have to migrate the Crystal Reports from 8.5 to XI which are being called from ASP and using procedures. Please guide:
    1. What will be the steps for migration
    2. What changes would be required at ASP level if we migrate the reports from 8.5 to XI
    3. What are the basic challenges while migrating from 8.5 to XI
    4. Please provide any document if any one have for crystal reports migration
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Shal,
    1. What will be the steps for migration
    There is no specific steps to migrate your reports, you will have to open your reports in XI and refresh and save.  This will migrate your reports from CR8.5 to XI.
    2. What changes would be required at ASP level if we migrate the reports from 8.5 to XI
    I am not sure but, you may have to change run time files.
    3. What are the basic challenges while migrating from 8.5 to XI
    If insert any SQL statements in Show Sql these will not take care in XI, rest all you will not have any issues.
    4. Please provide any document if any one have for crystal reports migration
    If you are using Crystal Enterprise then you will have to migrate it from one enterprise to other using import wizard.  Since you are migrating reports, there isno specific document.
    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

  • How to migrate a report .SQR to Oracle repots, I have the file .SQR

    I have a problem, I need migrate a report .SQR to Oracle Reports, So, I don't know .SQR. one idea for this

    Is that a Hyperion sqr file? I doubt there are migration tools, so you will need to rebuild the report in Oracle Reports.

    Hello,
    I don't know SQR, but Google said that it is either a Hyperion or Peoplesoft product.
    This forum is dedicated for migrations from non-Oracle databases to Oracle, using the SQL Developer Migration Workbench. So you should better place your question in the Oracle Reports forum: Reports

  • Migration cognos to HFM / Hyperion Planning

    Hi,
    Does anyone know the steps to migrate Cognos cubes to HFM 11/Hyperion Planning 11? I've no idea where to start from other than doing it manually from scratch, like building the outline & loading data.
    Can we export metadata & data from Cognos in a format which can be loaded to HFM/planning w/o much tedious manual task?
    Please give me suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi S.P.,
    i read your post. How looks your migration concept from Cognos to OHP 11?
    Pls write me a mail [ noahface[at]gmx.de ] or give a post.
