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

Look and feel discrepency after migrating Crystal Reports from XIR2 to XIR3

Hi,
We are migrating Crystal Reports from XIR2 to XIR3. If the report is designed in Crystal client by inserting a subreport it does not come well in web viewer(Infoview). If I do not use subreports then the view is same (both in web viewer & windows client preview).
Could you please let me know, what could be the problem and how to resolve this?
Your valuable time and solution is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Mohan

Hello,
What happen if you use the web java viewer instead of web viewer? (you can change it in the preferences options)
Otherwise, when you say "it does not come well", what do you mean?
Thanks

It's urgent. Your valuable time and solution is much appreciated.

I moved your thread to the " .NET - SAP Crystal Reports" forum, assuming this is in a .NET app(?)
Unfortunately, the description:
" does not come well in web viewer"
is somewhat "loose". Perhaps inserting a link to a screenshot(s) that demo the issue will be a good idea?
Also, if my assumption is correct:
1) What version of .NET?
2) What is the exact version of CR? (In CR designer go to Help | About)
3) What browser?
4) Does this work on you dev system?

There are various approaches possible, depending on the amount and the folder structure of your reports.

Report Writer - Converting from MS Access to Business Objects Tools

In 2008, my company migrated to SAP. Security has forced all report writing to use business objects (specifically WEBI); however, WEBI is very very difficult to use. The data in the universe doesn't always match what SAP has and the tool itself doesn't give the robust manipulation that Access does. I have tried to tell the company I need access to the universes through MS Access in order to create the reports automatically and allow interactive databases; however they refuse to give me ODBC access (against policy). Right now I have no alternative but to do daily downloads from SAP in order to feed my robust databases.
Can anyone suggest what business object tool I should use that will replicate what MS Access does for me?
Easy report writing with robust design (including charts)
Easy front-end tool for end users
One to many relationships needed
Efficient/Automatic (no need for daily downloads)
End users can interact with reports (enter data for later analysis)
What about Crystal Reports? What are the limitations and can it do what MS Access does for me today?
Should I be posting this question in another forum?

Hi Amy,
CR 2008 is the complimentary version of CR Designer when connecting to BOE 3.1. You can get an update to Service Pack 3 and then possible SP 4:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100008782452011E/cr2008sp4.exe
But before you do that check with the BOE admin, SP's should match also but not required.
They should work together, When you use the Report Wizard you'll see an option to connect to Enterprise and then log in using your User account and then the Repository will have the Universes available. Remember this is all set up by the Administrator so you will need the Admin person to grant you access to the Repository as well as anything else you need access to. Once you create the report then you can Publish them to your folder or a common folder and the Admin can then share your reports.
WEBI is what the name implies, it's a WEB interface to allow you to create reports using it's Report Wizard. It does take some getting used to and you should have training available, check with your admin group again. Same as CRD, it tool allows you to create reports but is much more flexible than WEBI is in a few ways but once you understand how WEBI works it has some very powerful tools also.
CR allows you to access any database field you have permission to see, it fully supports database permissions. So if you can't see them again you have to ask your DBA to grant you permissions. You can then link tables including your late entry table if it is separate or simply hitting the refresh button in the viewer will requery the DB for new rows of data. All depends on how it's set up.
As for security, this is a decision your company has made. SAP is just a tool that allows you to be secure. With today's security threats and other privacy laws and hackers abilities to get to and cause personal harm to those affected it's just the way things are these days. Take this up with your Management, it's not something we can decide for you and certainly can't provide you with ways to circumvent the security.....
There is training available for both WEBI and CR as well as third party Help for books available. Downloading the sample reports is a great place to start, you can switch between Design and preview mode and see what happens when you make changes....
Thanks again
Don

Migrating Workspace report from 9 to 11 gives 100's of zeros for parents

Hi All,
Has anyone experienced this ... we being are busy upgrading from 9.3.1 to 11.1.1.3. 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. This only seems to be happening when the the POV is set to a parent, at lowest level it is fine.

Hey all,
No worries on replying to this query, I managed to get it resolved ... it ended up being a security issue, access hadn't been applied where it should have been.

Migration of Reports from 10g environment to 11g environment

Can anyone tell me the steps or how to migrate reports from oracle hyperion interactive reporting 10g to oracle hyperion interactive reporting 11g environment??
Any kind of help would be greatful and highly appreciated.

OK, apologies for asking the wrong question.
Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System Workspace, Fusion Edition 11.x does, obviously, integrate with the Oracle Business Intelligence 10.x today. EPM is the Workspace and where the Hyperion Interactive Reporting bqy files reside.
Users logging in to https://your_domain.com/workspace are able to consume IR files.
Concerning the upgrade of OBI 10.x to 11g, assuming that EPM remains, there should be no impact on the viability of the IR files.
Having said that, we should seek verification that the OBI 11g product does nothing to adversley affect the integration with EPM.
I hope that helps.

Is there any easy way to migrate painter reports from 4.7 Enterprise to 6.0

Dear All
We are being upgraded from 4.7 Enterprise to ECC 6.0 . The issue that we are facing is that company has more than 200 report painter reports ( on special ledger) and I was wondering if there is any easier way to migrate it to ECC than redoing the whole work. What I mean to say is that, is there any tool/program/tcode that we can use for copying/editing purpose of the reports in ECC 6.0 to be based on flex ledger.
Thanks

Hello
Why do you need to transport the reports? Upgrade to 6.0 should keep your
old reports from 4.7.
In any case transaction GR57 allows you to export them to local file in C:\ and GR58 will import them. I have tested between systems of different releases and
it worked correctly.

Extract account Based COPA from R/3 using Business Object data services

Hello,
We have a requirement to extract Account Based COPA from SAP R/3 to Teradata using Business Objects data services.
I have read couple of white papers which give information on Rapid Marts( which are built in packages) already available for some applications like inventory, GL, AP, AR etc. But I could not find anything for COPA.
Would anyone give me any information on how to use BO data services for COPA?
Also if there is no rapid mart available for COPA, does anyone know how to create custom data marts in BO Data services?
Is there any document available on this?
Please respond as soon as possible.
Thanks.

Hi,
this forum is for the SAP Integration Kit. Would suggest you post your question into the EIM area for Data Services.

How to show Crystal Reports in BW system to Business Object XI R3 Portal

Hi All
I have some Crystal Reports in BW system and want to call them on Business Object XI R3 Portal.
Lets say that there are x number of reports in the system.
I need to show them on BO Portal by passing some parameters.
I am not able to start that how I can show them.
I followed one tutorial on Cystal Report for Eclipse and I was able to make a Crysral Report for Web Application.That was deployed successfully. I got one URL to run that.
But now if I want to add this link in my existing BO Portal how can I do that.
Can anyone help me in that, that how to proceed.

Reporting of recursive tables with Business Objects 6.1

Post Author: pk7
CA Forum: Publishing
Can anyone tell us how to traverse recursive tables with Business Objects 6.1? For example, let's say you have an Employee table with Emp_ID, Name, Manager_ID. Like so:
Emp_ID Name   Manager_ID
1           Jeff           4
2          Grace        3
3           Stacey      1
4           Wayne      null
The task is to report the hierarchy of employees starting with one employee (e.g. Grace) and showing who ALL of her superiors are. Desired result would be:
Grace
      Stacey
            Jeff
                   Wayne
We have seen the expanation the seems to require the duplication of a table but we prefer not to have the same data stored in multiple tables.
Thx!

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your response. However, what I meant by client installation is exactly as what you have said below.
I start the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Setup, go to custom install, which shows up the following options-
Client Components
Web Tier Components
Server Components
Database Access
etc. etc.
Initially I unselected all, drilled down Client Components and just installed the Developer Components. But the code used to fail with an InvalidCast exception when we used to cast an InfoObject to a Report as following-
Report report = (Report)infoObjects[1];
This code used to work fine with earlier installations of business objects.
This happened with all 3 of us who installed just the Dev components. To get over this we installed the whole Client Components and the above problem got resolved.
And now we realize that even the whole Client Comp is not enough because it gives the casting problem while doing the destination stuff.

Print Layourt Designer how to migrate a report from one SBO to another

I have written a report on my Test version of SBO and need to migrate it to the customers site but cant see a method of exporting/Importing a User Report
(I am probably missing something obvious though.....) but would appreciate a prod in the right direction. thanks

Hi George,
There is two ways, you can either copy it over......but sometimes all the alignment goes off.
Or you can use the query SAP have given in a note. I do not remember the note number. But here is an extract of the note. I use this query often and have kept this extract one side. It only copies the layouts that do not exist in the destination company. Here is the extract.
An SQL query can be used to copy documents from one database to another, however the following conditions must be met:
1. Only edited documents with a doccode (the template primery key), which does not exist in the destination database, will be copied.
2. It is necessary to backup source and destination databases before running the query!!!
3. Both databases must share the same localization and the same version!!!
4. Select "Start" -> "Programs" -> "Microsoft SQL Server" -> "Query Analyzer" and run the following query:
Replace SOURCE with the source database name.
Replace DEST with the destination database name.
insert into [DEST].[dbo].[RDOC]
select [SOURCE].[dbo].[RDOC].*
from
[SOURCE].[dbo].[RDOC],[DEST].[dbo].[cinf],[SOURCE].[dbo].[cinf]
where [DEST].[dbo].[cinf].[lawsset]=[SOURCE].[dbo].[cinf].[lawsset]and [DEST].[dbo].[cinf].[version]=[SOURCE].[dbo].[cinf].[version] and [SOURCE].[dbo].[RDOC].[Doccode]NOT IN (SELECT Doccode from [DEST].[dbo].[RDOC])
insert into [DEST].[dbo].[RITM]
select [SOURCE].[dbo].[RITM].*
from [SOURCE].[dbo].[RITM],[DEST].[dbo].[cinf],[SOURCE].[dbo].[cinf] where [SOURCE].[dbo].[RITM].[Doccode] NOT IN (select Doccode from [DEST].[dbo].[RITM])AND [SOURCE].[dbo].[RITM].[Doccode]IN (SELECT Doccode from [DEST].[dbo].[RDOC])
The query is also attached to this note!
Hope this helps.
