Migration from Crystal IX to BO-XI using java sdk-- very urgent
Post Author: Pranav.Sharma
CA Forum: Migration to XI R2
Need help in migration from Crystal Report IX to BO-XI.
Currently we are using CR IX and Java SDK to access reports from J2ee application. These reports reside on remote server where we have shared access to that directory.
We are accessing these reports through our j2ee application.Can anyone please elaborate whether we can use same SDK here with slight change in code probably in authentication related to CMS etc and calling mechanism or we have to go for BO java SDK alltogether. Is anything we are missing here?
Can anyone please help as we have to complete migration in 1-2 days.
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 pass parameters to a page invoked using java script.--- Very Urgent.
Hello,
I have an advanced Table in my page. In the first column there is a
messageChoice. In the second column there is link item.On the link item i have set the following value for destination uri.
javascript:var a=window.open('OA.jsp?page=/AutoSales/oracle/apps/per/auto/webui/AutoSurrogatesPG&retainAM=Y','a','height=500,width=900,status=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,scrollbar=yes'); a.focus();
The user selects a value from the message choice and when he clicks on the link item, the value selected from the list should go to the new page invoked using java script as a parameter. I need the value selected from choice to generates few fields in the new page. I have preferred java script because i need the base page and a model window should open. I have tried using setForwardUrl() and setting '_blank' and new window for target frame property on the link item. But it isnt working. The new page is opening in the same window.
I have also tried putting the value in a session.
Please help with any kind of suggestions or solutions.
Thank you.Uma,
You need to
- Have a PPR Action on the messageChoice (this would trigger a form submit to populate the underlying View Attribute)
- Either
- Retrive the value from the View Attribute in the pop-up page (as I could see that you are retaining the AM)
- Use a SPEL in the link (on the modal page) to use the value from the View Attribute as the parameter value (in the form ${oa.current.<ViewAttributeName>)

what else is missing . plz help.....Well, you can migrate, you can not upgrade (semantics I suppose). E.g.; the RDC was deprecated in CR XI r1 and retired in CR 2008. Thus there is no way for you to upgrade to version 12 of the RDC as there is no such thing. So, from here, you have two options: migrate / port the app to .NET, or Java SDKs.
Re. RDC, see my blog here:
/people/ludek.uher/blog/2008/10/20/report-designer-component--past-present-future
For porting the app to .NET, see this article:

Migrate from Crystal Report XI R2 to Business Objects XI R2
Hello friends,
As per end of licence life cycle for Crystal report, we need to migrate our 30 crystal reports to BO xi r2.
First thing i need to ask is that ...is this possible to migrate from Crystal report XI R2 to BO xi R2 ?
If yes than where i can find migration guide..i tried import wizard but its not showing crystal reports in list.
please help..
thanks.Ok. We used the same Administrator user.
It seems first we need to move report to Report Samples than only it shows in list.
If we keep *.rpt under user folders its not being imported.
Import is possible this way only. Now we need to call the report from java.
Which API should we use to print this crystal report migrated to BO?
Regards.

Migration from Crystal Enterprise 10 to SAP Crystal Server 2011
Hi all,
We are currently using Crystal Enterprise 10 to schedule and view our reports and the designer is Crystal Reports 10 .
we are planning to migrate to SAP Crystal Server 2011 with Crystal Reports 2011 as the designer.Can we do this migration directly or do we need to do the migration to an intermediate version before going to SAP Crystal Server 2011.
Regards,
Sreekanth S S1. So in this case, I need to migrate from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Crystal Reports Server XI R2/Crystal Reports Server 2008 or more using import wizard Then I will need to migrate from Crystal Reports Server XI R2/Crystal Reports Server 2008 to SAP Crystal Server 2011 using Upgrade Manager tool. Is my inference correct?
That is correct. For XI R2, it would be XI R2 SP2 minimum. And you need to have a live installation of XI R2 SP2 as SAP does not have it in archieve download area.
2.What is the potential risk if we try to migrate from Crystal Enterprise 10 to SAP Crystal Server 2011 using upgrade manager tool?
I am not sure if that will work with success, If the reports migrated from CE10 do not work in CRS2011, it would be unsupported. You can however try it anyways.
3.Can we open the reports developed using Crystal Reports 10 designer in Crystal Reports 2011 designer? .This is for another requirement of us where we have to just migrate the reports alone .
Yes you can do that. Try opening and running them in CR2011, they should work but some of them can also result in some errors here and their, this is more specific to report design and what kind of grouping\ filtering\formulas you use. -

Hi,
Anyone please explain me which one is right,
At present we are running on Crystal Enterprise10,which is advantages
Migrating from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Business Objects XI
or
Migrating from Crystal Enterprise 10 to Crystal Server XI
Please explain me the things that needs to be had in mind while going for the migration.

CRS is limited to single server installs, it has less functionality such as no auditing. Enterprise can be clustered across many servers, has auditing and webi/deski from E6. So which one is best would depend on the size of your planned implementation and the features that you want.

When using the migrate tool to migrate from windows to mac, can you use ethernet to connect the computers to each other? In the Migration tool, I was only given the option of choosing the computer when it appeared on the same network, and didn't see an option to connect them to each other. Even though they're both connected to the same network with a wired connection, the migration is painfully slow.
Yes. The following quotation is from About Windows Migration Assistant
These are the preferred network connections, in order:
Use a CAT6-certified Ethernet cable that is in good condition to connect the Ethernet port of the PC directly to the Ethernet port of the Mac or Ethernet adaptor (USB or Thunderbolt). You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
Use CAT6-certified Ethernet cables that are in good condition to connect the Mac and PC to your home network router/hub/switch. You shouldn't use an Ethernet cable that has any kinks in it or is missing connector tabs.
For wireless, use the fastest wireless signal possible (802.11n 5Ghz). Try to have the PC, Mac, and the wireless access point all in the same room close to each other. -
SAP BO Report Scheduling and Save as report using Java SDK
Hi All,
We have a java product which is integrated with SAP BO using Java SDK and we have certain java screen through which we select report prompt values and webi report gets run.
Now we want to give a functionality to save report to BO repository.
When user select certain check box from java screen a separate copy of the webi report should get saved under default folder on BO repository.
Also, we want user to choose the scheduling option from java screen only (and not the one which we use from BI Launchpad) due to certain access restriction. User does not have access to BI Launchpad. Only he can run report by selecting values through Java screen.
If i need to create a separate screen for scheduling as well as saving webi report then also i am ok with it.
P.S. i guess we need to work on Java SDK level. But could somebody please help me with the right direction?
Let me know in case requirement is not clear.Hi Ketan,
As you are on version BI 4.0 SP5 and would be migrating to BI 4.1, the best SDKs to use would be the Restful Webservices SDKs.
You have the options to schedule a webi report with prompts as well as the save feature which you require.
Please refer to the webi restful guides avialble at
For BI 4.0 SP5

Sample report using JAVA SDK -
Having trouble with creation of a cloud service with multiple virtual machines using java sdk.
I am creating a cloud service on azure with 2 virtual machines using java sdk API. Service created successfully.
My input endpoint details are as follows.
INPUT ENDPOINTS
Head : 191.238.144.47:2400
Head : 191.238.144.47:22
Node0 : 191.238.144.47:43211
For Head instance port 2400 is for HTTPS and port 22 is for SSH and for Node0 instance port 43211 is for SSH.
But I am having problem with doing a ssh on Head instance. Sometimes it works sometimes doesn't. Same problem with HTTPS also.
I have some application running over there but when i try to access it thru browser sometimes it works but most of the time doesn't. When I restart the instances from azure portal, its works after
that(not always but most of the time).
Now I am confused what is going on there. I am creating cloud service and virtual machines using java sdk and setting input endpoints also. After creation of all instances i restart every instance programmatically .
I am not sure whether restart is required or not. It must be something to do with input endpoints only but not able to get the right thing i guess. When i do the same thing thru azure portal(creation of cloud service with virtual machines and setting up input
end points) everything works fine but not achieving the result when implementing it by java sdk API. Please help me.HI Nithin,
Thanks for your reply. I am setting the endpoints after creating my instances using update call. Here's the code snippet.
AzureService aServ = new AzureService(session);
if(aServ.checkNameAvailability(clusterName)) {
aServ.createHostedService(clusterName, "dbX cluster");
// Creating head instance
aServ.createHead(clusterName, imgName, headType, userName, pswd);
// Setting end points for head node
String name = "ssh";
int port = 22;
aServ.updateVMInputEndpoint(clusterName, "Head", name, port);
// Restarting head instance
aServ.restartVM(clusterName, "Head");
String roleName = "Node";
String tmpRoleName = "";
for(int i=0; i<noi; i++) {
port = 43210+(i+1);
tmpRoleName = roleName + i;
// Creating node instance
aServ.createVM(clusterName, tmpRoleName, imgName, nodeType, userName, pswd);
// Setting end points for node instance
aServ.updateVMInputEndpoint(clusterName, tmpRoleName, name, port);
// Restarting node instance
aServ.restartVM(clusterName, tmpRoleName);
// Method to update the input endpoint details
public void updateVMInputEndpoint(String clusterName, String vmName, String name, int port)
throws Exception {
VirtualMachineGetResponse resp = computeManagementClient.getVirtualMachinesOperations().
get(clusterName, clusterName, vmName);
VirtualMachineUpdateParameters updateParameters = new VirtualMachineUpdateParameters();
//get the configuration list
ArrayList<ConfigurationSet> configlist = resp.getConfigurationSets();
//get inputendpoint list and update it
ArrayList<InputEndpoint> endpointlist = configlist.get(0).getInputEndpoints();
InputEndpoint inputEndpoint = new InputEndpoint();
inputEndpoint.setEnableDirectServerReturn(false);
inputEndpoint.setPort(port);
inputEndpoint.setLocalPort(port);
inputEndpoint.setName(name);
inputEndpoint.setProtocol(InputEndpointTransportProtocol.TCP);
endpointlist.add(inputEndpoint);
// Open port for https on head node
if(vmName.equals("Head")) {
inputEndpoint = new InputEndpoint();
inputEndpoint.setEnableDirectServerReturn(false);
inputEndpoint.setPort(2400);
inputEndpoint.setLocalPort(2400);
inputEndpoint.setName("https");
inputEndpoint.setProtocol(InputEndpointTransportProtocol.TCP);
endpointlist.add(inputEndpoint);
updateParameters.setConfigurationSets(configlist);
//required for update
OSVirtualHardDisk osVirtualHardDisk = resp.getOSVirtualHardDisk();
updateParameters.setOSVirtualHardDisk(osVirtualHardDisk);
updateParameters.setRoleName(resp.getRoleName());
OperationResponse updtResp = computeManagementClient.getVirtualMachinesOperations().update(clusterName, clusterName, resp.getRoleName(), updateParameters);
And every time i am creating a new cloud service along with head and node instances. Region is "South Central US".
I am setting ProvisionGuestAgent field to true at instance creation time. Thank you. -
Migrating from Crystal Reports Charts using TopN and "Other" to Reporting Services
I am currently migrating several Crystal Reports that have charts. The chart series is set to use the TopN values in a count, and combine the rest of the series into one series titled "Other". I see how to filter the chart using TopN, however I need to still show the rest of the data grouped as "Other". I think the solution I need is to create a group expression that uses some sort of IIF function to create the "Other" group, but I haven't found a function that I can use to get the results I need. Any ideas?
ScottWe were looking at report deployment options and evaluating SSRS vs Crystal Report Server. There were several reasons we decided to go with SSRS:
Cascading Parameters
Ability to use multiple data sets in one report
SSRS seemed more user-friendly than CRS
There were a few other considerations I can remember now, but the final reason was price. My company already had the licenses for SQL Server. However, even if that was not a consideration I still would have gone with SSRS.
Hope this info helps.

Migration from crystal reports 8 to 11 - Formatting Issue(Criticial)
Post Author: DJ Gaba
CA Forum: General
I have migrated my crystal report version from version 8 to version 11 (evaluation version) but I am seeing some formattiong issue
My entire report data has moved little bit toward right so my rightmost line (table) wraps up in next page and hence leaving every second page blank.
is it that I am using evaluation version that is casuing problme. Report is opening up properly but it's the formatting issues
Or it's something else
Let me know
DJPost Author: DJ Gaba
CA Forum: General
Well I will definately try that. Currenlty I am in process of downloading licensed version to observe the behaviour
But just looking at font sizes in both pdf's (version 8 and 11), it seems that font sizes are same in both pdfs. But I will confirm that once I open the crystal report 11 designer
Probably you can send me your e-mail ID so that I can send you both pdf's
I am also planning to compare property/obect values in crystal report 11 designer to see if anything else got changed that needs to be reverted as it was in crystal report 8.
Thanks

Migration from crystal report 8.5 to 10.2
Dear Sir/Madam,
I have an application written by vb .net 2005 with crystal report 8.5.
Do you know how I can upgrade the crystal report from 8.5 to 10.2?
Are they totally different? Or there are some references about this migration.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours sincerely,
FrodoLudek -
Thanks for this much information. I might end up using CR .Net with VS2005 or VS2008. But I want to carefully understand what my options are. Please see my further queries inline with your responses.
1) Is it mentioned somewhere when we agree to MS Visual Studio 2005 terms that we cannot be using the RDC for report creation and viewing in our custom applications?
License agreement
DT-> Is this the Visual Studio 2005 licensinig agreement that we agree.? Do you have an extract of the same for me?
2) It looks like the last known version which supports RDC is CR XI R2- are there different variants of CR XI R2 and which one should be the one that gels well with Visual Studio 2005/Visual Studio 6.0? Would the dll's CRDesigner.dll, CRViewer.dll and craxddrt.dll be available with it for our usage?
+Yes, CR XI r2 is the last version to ship the RDC. Re.craxddrt.dll. Remember that you need extra licensing for this dll - as opposed to craxDrt.dll which is part of the free runtime. For more info re. licensing of craxDDrt.dll, talk to sales as they will be able to explain this in more detail (866-681-3435).
DT-> Can I used the functionality presented by the CRDesignerctrl.dll at run time when I am using craxdrt.dll? What are the differences in CRaxddrt.dll and craxdrt.dll, in terms of the usage? Are CRDesignerctrl.dll and CRDesigner.dll different?
For more info re. RDC see the following:
RDC statement of Direction
Using the Report Designer Component in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET article.
Note 1217809
Report Designer Component - Past, Present & Future blog.
My question to you would be this; Since you have .NET and are willing to upgrade to CR XI release 2, why do you want to use an unsupported technology (unsupported in .NET). And a version of CR that will be out of support in June of 2010 and thus patch support will be terminated some moths before that. Why not use the CR SDK for .NET?
DT-> We have an almost complete application written on CR8.5 with VS6.0 and wanted to ramp that up to the right level which is new. I might really end up using CR SDK for .NET, but want to understand the cons well, before I finalize tomorrow. I want to minimize developmental effort and yet would like to stay at the latest level.
