Report migration strategy from Cognos to BO 3.1

Hi,
I am looking for some input for report migration from Cognos to BO. We will have to migrate large volume of Cognos 8 reports to BO XI 3.1. What are the gray areas in it? what is best practice available?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Regards
Atanu

What do you mean "populate repository" ?
I'm sure you should be able to export/import users, but to re-create reports from xml ???
Cognos allows you to export all report information to XML and ability to create report back from that ??
BO doesn't.

Forms and reports migration tools from oracle and other vendors

Can someone through some light about the migration tools available on the market for the migration of oracle forms 10g to 11g?

are there any tools for doing this activity like oracle recommended tools?
Your question is unclear. As IK mentioned, the only tool you need is a new version of Oracle Forms/Reports. Open your v10 modules in a v11 Builder and select Save. You now have a v11 module. Doing a "Compile All PL/SQL" before saving is a good idea, but not required. The Builders and utilites provided with the version 11 installation are the only supported tools for upgrading your application. If you are trying to do the conversion of many Forms files in a scripted manner, you can use the Forms compiler in a script. Generating new "X" files will also update the source modules (fmb, mmb, pll). See MyOracleSupport Note 955143.1
Also included in the installation in the Forms Migration Assistant. Although it is more useful to people coming from older versions, it can also be used to move from v10 to 11. It allows you to select more than one file at a time. Documentation for this utility can be found in the Forms Upgrade Guide.

Migrating from Cognos ReportNet to OBI EE

Hi all.
Has anyone done a migration from Cognos ReportNet to OBI EE?
I'm tiring to determine what task need to be performed, what can be leveraged from ReportNet as it pertains to reports and models, etc.
Any feedback and/or real world experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi
I really don't think there is much you can leverage as they're on totally different systems. If you've already got Cognos why would you want to throw all that investment away and go with BI EE?
This is especially true when in a different posting you say the functionality is the same. You must have a lot of money available to you :-)

Migrating Graphs from Reports 6i to Reports 10g

While migrating Graphs from Reports 6i to Reports 10g is there a possibility of maintaining the same graphs rather than recompiling them using the Graph Wizard of Reports 10g. I have hundreds of reports with graphs and will be an uphill task to re-draft all the graphs. Kindly suggest alternatives to overcome this dead-lock.
Thanx in advance
Sridhar

Hello Sridhar,
10g is not supporting Graphics builder. So you got to create/insert all these 6i graphs in 10g. Open the 6i report and compile in 10g. It will give you file not found error. Delete the graph area in the layout editor.
Then drag the chart icon and drop in layout. Redesign again. Offcourse it is not fun. But there is no way.
Also there are tons of bugs in 10g report Graphs. You won't find some cool features like Others % option in the pie slice provided by Graphics bulider. You got to change graph.xml file for some of the features. Even the graphs looks ugly in 10g. Migrating graph reports is really frustrating in 10g. But we have no choice. Recently we migrated to 10g. Becareful with matrix reports. 10g keeps on getting crashed when ever we develop matrix report. GOD knows the reason.
But 10g has some very very good features like Distribution

SSRS Reports migration from 2005 to 2008R2

Hi ..
I have couple of questions.. looking for answers
Am new to report migration. We have 1000+ of reports in 2005 which we need to migrate to 2008R2. After googling theweb i got to know that we have an third party utility RSScripter which is used to move the reports from 2005 to 2008.
Question 1:
By using the above tool i was able to migrate the reports from 2005 to 2008. However, i am not able to redeploy the reports to sub folder in 2008..
Example i have some reports in 2005 at Dev_reports\Reports\.. when i want to copy these reports to Dev_reports\Reports folder they are not moved to sub folder Reports on destination server, but rather they are copied to root folder. Is there any why
that i can copy the reports to particular folder in destination server.
Question 2:
When moved the reports from 2005 to 2008 are all the reports are automatically upgraded and copied to new server(2008)? or we need to explicitly open each and every report in 2008 and deploy to the new report server(2008)?
And my third requirement is to create couple(2) solution for the above said reports and check in them to TFS as a reporting project.
one report project with all the reports from 2005 and another with all reports from 2008.
Appreciate your responses at the earliest. As this is on top priority.. Thanks in Advance

Hi Sri,
Per my understanding that you are using the RSScripter to move the reports from SSRS 2005 from SSRS 2008 R2, now your first problem is you don't know how to move the reports from the sub folder of 2005 to an specify folder on SSRS 2008 R2, right?
I have tested on my locak enviroment and can reproduce the issue, by default, when you execute the .cmd file the report will move to the new server's root folder, for example, you have an rdl report in SSRS 2005 which path is "/Test/report1.rdl"
, when you move to the SSRS 2008 R2 using the tool it will move to the path "home/Test/report1.rdl".
If you want to move this rdl to the specify folder "home/Test0323/Test/Report1.rdl" you should do the action as below:
Create the specify folder on the SSRS 2005 but not SSRS 2008 R2, move the subfolder and the rdl in it "/Test/report1.rdl" to the specify folder
find and check the "/Test0323/Test/Report1.rdl" in the RSScripter:
the Output will have the path like "Test0323/Test/Report1.rdl",after move to the SSRS 2008 R2, it will also create the path like "/Test0323/Test/Report1.rdl"
More details information about using the RSScripter tool:
Migrating SQL Reporting Services to a new server
For the second question, Generally, reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server or SharePoint site. The report is automatically upgraded the first time it is viewed, but the stored report definition file
remains unchanged. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.

How to Migrate Crystal Report Server 2008 from Tomcat to Websphere.

Hi Experts,
Is there any documents or notes describ how to migrate CRS2008 from Tomcat to Webshere.
Thanks.

Hi,
Have a look at the Web Application Deployment guides which comes in two versions, one for Windows and one for Unix.
You can find them at help.sap.com and they are named xi31_sp3_webappd_win_en.pdf and xi31_sp3_webappd_unix_en.pdf respectively.
But to summarise it a bit, you will use wdeploy to manually deploy the WAR files to your existing web application server. It is not too complex, but if you are not familiar with running commands in prompt and with your web application server then I suggest that you get someone to assist you.

I just finished migrating a client from Google Apps to Microsoft Exchange Online using the IMAP option in the Microsoft Online Services Migration Tool.
I added the mailboxes by creating a CSV file [i.e. GoogleApps(Gmail)_Mailboxes.csv] in the following format:
SourceIdentity,SourceServer,SourceLoginID,SourcePassword,TargetIdentity
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword1,[email protected]
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword2,[email protected]
[email protected],imap.gmail.com,[email protected],P@ssword3,[email protected]
Then I created a custom folder map XML file [i.e. GoogleApps(Gmail)_FolderMap.xml] to map the Google Apps (Gmail) labels to the appropriate Exchange (Outlook) mailbox folders and create those that didn't exist (i.e. Important, Starred, Follow up,
Misc, Priority) as sub-folders under the Inbox:

</Folder>
<Folder path = "Priority">

</Folder>
</FolderMappings>
Additionally, I had to tell the Internet E-mail Mailbox Migration Wizard to use the "Individual Account Credentials" option since I was able to specify each account password in the CSV file when adding the mailboxes to Microsoft Online Services Migration
Tools console.
Just to note, the users had to manually export their contacts to a CSV file and calendars to iCal (ICS) files in order to import those items into Outlook.
I hope this will benefit others since Microsoft doesn't seem to have a custom, specifically defined migration strategy for this scenario. With Google Apps being in direct competition with BPOS/Office365, I assumed that Microsoft would have a simple
strategy using something like ActiveSync to facilitate the migration of email, contacts, calendar entries, etc. Hopefully we'll see something along those lines become available in a future release of the migration tools.

SAP Netweaver Portal - Folder structure and report publishing strategy

Hi gurus,
I'm working on a project in which we are publishing BW reports in SAP Netweaver Portal (prior to this, we were using SAP Bex Browser) organizing it by Department (workset, 2nd lvl of navigation), Business Processes (workset, 3rd lvl of navigation) and "iview types" (transactions, queries, dashboards and so on). On 1st level we have a workset simply called "Reports".
For each PFCG role we have on BW (ABAP Server), we created a portal role and defined which of the higher navigation tiers is visible to users (delta-linking the top level navigation worksets to the portal role and setting visible accordingly) and then we assigned Portal roles to the appropriated Group (PFCG role) so all users that have access to certain PFCG role can have access to the corresponding Portal role.
For example:
In BW (ABAP) we have a PFCG Role: Sales PMR Analysis - Administrator, which grants access to Sales Infoproviders, queries and data for PMR analysis. The user that have access to it, should be able to see:
|Reports|
|Sales Administration|
v PMR Analysis
> Web Queries
> Transactions
> Dashboards
> Workbooks
In Portal we create a workset that has: "Reports" and under it, all Departments (Sales Administration, Financial, Services, Human Resources and so on) set as "not visible". We create a Portal role called PMR Analysis and add the Report/Departments workset, set Sales Administration as visible and add worksets/folders named PMR Analysis, Web queries, Transactions, etc, and all the corresponding iviews under it.
If we assign this new Portal role to the Group of the corresponding PFCG role, the user will see exactly as the example from above.
Pros: The users have a clean view of the reports he/she has access.
Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist.
One of the options would be to grant visibility to ALL departments, business processes and iviews in Portal and let PFCG security roles control user access, but that might be confusing to have an overwhelming amount of links, making it hard to find what the user needs, specially during first access. Not to mention possible security breaches.
So, I'd like to know how other consultants are defining this kind of folder structure and report publishing strategy in Portal. Ideally we would like to be able to have:
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
I'd appreciate if you guys can share your experience on this.
Thanks in advance.
Leandro

Cons: The users doesn't have a clear view of what is available in BW so he can request access. There might be some useful report lost in on of the hundreds of BW roles that he doesn't know it exist
This is not a refutation: your BW developers/consultants should be able to write reports, which points you in case of insufficent backend rights. EP is not designed to be familiar with ABAP security concept and cant take any influence at it.

Yes, bad idea.
- Visibility of all existant reports even those that the user does not have acess (so he can learn that it exist and request access)
As you already wrote on your own, this would be not good
- Clean view of reports, segmented by department and business processes.
- Possibility to search for reports, even for those that the user does not have access.
This is not covered by SAP, if you wanna provide that, develop it on your own.
cheers

Tool to migrate configurations from Dev to Prod

Is there a tool to migrate configurations from one Oracle environment to another? For instance, to move a flexfield setup I created in Development environment to our Production environment. Both systems are the same version. I just didn't want to re-create configurations we have done in Dev into Prod by hand again.
Thanks.

We use Mercury Deliver for our migrations. It used to be called Chainlink, then Kintana and now Mercury. Its been purchased by HP so it is probably due for another name change.
We use it for all types of migrations that can be done with FNDLOAD and WFLOAD. It is also used to migrate packages, forms, reports, 'C' code, etc. It is completely customizable so when it didn't have a migration object for OA Framework extensions, we built one.
It is very powerfull (also expensive). Takes a bit to setup but once it is configured it is very usefull. I would not recommend it for a small installation with only a few migrations but in envionments where there is a great deal of change it does pay for itself rather quickly.

this might work, but... if a transport contains objects A and B, but B is not needed in 6.0 (whatever reason), only A, than you cannot go this way. On the other hand, if all required transport can be identified easily, than it could be a nice way.

Interactive Reporting Migration

Hi,
Could any one Please give some details on Interactive Reporting Migration from lower version to higher version(9x) and what are the lower versions.
Thanks in advance.

If the bqys reside in the Repository then the Migration Utility (available on eDelivery) will move content and upgrade the bqy.
If on your desktop and you are using IR Studio (9.x) then the simple act of opening and saving a bqy will do the trick. The new features extended in release you are using will become available.
If you then try to open the file with a lower version you may find problems so once you go up do not go down
