Upgrading from Report 6i to 9i

I am considering upgrading to Report 9i. What do I need to take into consideration if I want to consider upgrading. Will my current 9iAS be able to host reports produce with Reports 9i and will .rpt files produced with 6i be compatible with 9i?

You'll be able to open up rdf files produced in 6i with reports 9i. Furthermore, you should be able to open up 9i editted reports in 6i, as long as you don't use any new 9i specific functionality.
Hope this helps,
Danny

  • Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

    Dear Community Friends,
    We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
    We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
    Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
    I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
    I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
    Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
    Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
    For Custom Forms,
    Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
    Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
    ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
    Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
    For custom workflow upgradation,
    Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
    Workflow Upgrade
    Workflow Upgrade
    For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
    Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
    Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
    Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
    Please correct me,if i am wrong.
    1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
    2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
    3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
    4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
    5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
    this will generate the .fmx's.
    frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
    Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
    6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
    As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
    Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
    As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
    Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
    So,i am not clear on this.

    So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
    For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

  • Performance Degradation of HR Disco reports after upgrade from 1158 - 11510

    Hi there
    Has anyone else seen a degradation in performance between 4i and 10.1.2 on apps HR modules? Or indeed not against HR modules.
    Following an upgrade from 1158 to 11510 we have seen significant downturn in performance of long standing HR reports. We are using Discoverer desktop in both cases and have a query that is scheduled overnight and usually completed in 2 hours using 4i against the 1158. Now it's taking more like 15 or more using discoverer 10.1.2 against the 11510 environment. We have tested using 4i against 11510 environment and this performs fine, in fact better than it used to in 1158, so it looks like Discoverer 1012 is causing the downturn in performance.
    Anyone got anything to share on this??
    Cheers, Kate

    Kaubon,
    There is a difference between oracle 9i and 10g database.
    If you are using optimizer_features_enable="9.2.0.8" to revert back to the old behavior then you are not utilizing the updated feature of 10g. You are making 10g to follow 9i behavior.
    It is just like buying a new car and damaging it to get the feel of your old car.
    We had the similar problem, but we fine tune all our queries according to 10g. Main problem was use of rules. You need to either remove those rules or modify those rules.
    There are few good documents of 10g performance on metalink. You can refer to that.
    All the best.

  • Report upgraded from 6i to 10g not displaying data.

    Hi,
    I upgraded one report from 6i to 10g,
    When I'm running the report for the same set of data.
    After changing the layout for few fields in the subframe.
    first time it has shown the data in the report output but now same report with same data is not displying the output.
    I'm sure this is due to some layout problem.(may be due to upgradation from 6i to 10g)
    Please guide me to resolve this problem.

    Hello,
    How do you execute your Reports ?
    Do you execute it from the Builder ?
    If you execute it from the Builder, do you use Run Web Layout or Run Paper Layout ?
    (If you have upgraded a Reports From 6i, there is no web layout , so you have to use the Run paper Layout
    The web layout is something new that appeared in Reports 9.0.2)

  • Upgraded from APEX 3.1 to APEX 4.0.2, Interactive reports broken

    I just recently upgraded from APEX 3.1 to APEX 4.0.2.
    Am using IE 8.
    Now whenever I click on a column header in an interactive reports I get a javascript error:
    Message: Expected ')'
    Line: 1
    Char: 40984
    Code: 0
    URI: http://patchx:8080/i/javascript/apex_4_0.js
    Am at my wits end on this one.
    I can't see anybody else who has hit this error.
    The demo application works okay.
    I set up an interactive report with the same properties as the demo app, but i still get the error.
    Any clues?

    AHA, I just figured out what is making this happen.
    I have a custom authorization scheme which calls a PLSQL function.
    I had set the authorization scheme to "Once Per Page View".
    This was causing the error to happen, although I still don't know why.
    Unfortunately it is a problem because I need to authorize on each page.
    This is because my plsql function must allow the login page authorization so we can capture the username to check against permissions. So I autmatically return true on the login page. But that means anybody can get in, because that is the once per session authorization as specified.

  • I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard. After a few weeks the HDD failed. New Leopard install reports: "insufficient memory". I need Tiger install disks so I can install

    I upgraded my iBook G4 from 384MBytes to 640Mbytes and upgraded from Tiger to Leopard.
    After a few weeks the HDD failed. I bought a new disk, installed it and trued to install Leopard, but the  install fails reporting "insufficient memory".
    I assume the installation requires more memory than the OS actually needs to be able to run.
    I need Tiger install CD/DVD so I can install Tiger first and then upgrade to Leopard.

    Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a reasonable fee, they will supply a replacement set of system discs (if available).
    The discs will be for the original version of the OS that was pre-installed when the Mac was manufactured.
    You need much more RAM than that.

  • Report Layout Changed After Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6

    Dear Gurus,
    I do functional test of every process in ECC6 after upgrade from 4.6C. I found all report layout changed without variant (it's happen to all Query/SQ01 reports ). So I've to assign manually the fields for the reports, and create a default variant then.
    Why it happen ? Is there configuration or setting missed or this is standard while we do upgrade ?
    Thx in advance.

    Hi Chakradhar,
    You can open an older version of the report in a new version of designer and just saving it again will automatically convert the version to the new version. To utilized new features you must modify the report and add the new features.

  • Smartview reports do not open in HFM v11.1.2.1 after upgrade from v9.3.1.

    Smartview reports when I attempt to open in HFM v11.1.2.1 (after upgrade from v9.3.1), points me to launch v9.3.1 workspace. Any advise pls... Thanks, Mark

    Mark,
    I still don't fully understand the issue. Smart View is not launched from Workspace -- it is instead run from within one of the Microsoft Office products (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook). Are you instead asking about Financial Reports? These are run from the Explore menu within Workspace. You can view these as html or PDF.
    A little more confusing is the fact that Smart View can run a Financial Report from within any of the Office products. In any case, when you use Smart View in 11.1.2.1 you could open a connection to the Workspace server (the connection in Smart View is defined in the Smart View options under Advanced > Shared Connections URL). Assuming you have provided a correct URL there, pointing to the 11.1.2.1 workspace server, you should see the available shared connections when you open a new conenction.
    I re-read your e-mail and wonder if you are confusing things a bit. If you log into Workspace, using Internet Explorer, each user has their own preferences as to what page launches by default upon login. I think you are saying that a usr logging into the 11.1.2.1 workspace somehow has a default page leading them back to the 9.x workspace? If so, check their preferences to examine the default document and it's URL. Once logged into Workspace, choose File > Preferences > General, to view the Startup page. You can make any changes here, but this is user-by-user.

  • Upgrade from crystal report 4 to crystal report 11

    hi,i have an old application developed use vb5.0 and crystal report 4,
    now i want to upgrade it to vb6.0 and cystall report 11, does the cystal report 4 and 11 are compatiable?

    Hello,
    Crystal Report 4.6 reports are pretty old.  There have been 3 or 4 major code rewrites to Crystal Reports between CR 4.6 to CR XI.  I think your CR 4.6 reports will run from CR XI but I can't be sure.  I haven't seen CR 4.6 in quite a few years and have never tested it.  You will probably want to update the old reports to CR XI.  To update the reports open them in CR XI and save them in the CR XI format.  Please be sure to keep back up copies of the original CR 4.6 reports.
    Your VB application will have to be migrated to a different component.  The Crystal OCX (crystl32.ocx) that was available in CR 4.6 was retired after CR8.5. In order to run your CR XI reports you'll need to migrate your VB6 application to the Report Designer Component (RDC) object model.
    There are a number of documents that will help you with the code migration.  Here are some links:
    [Migrating to the RDC in CR9|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/105181db-cb1d-2b10-38a4-b0a30e268e40] - applies to CR 9/10/11/11.5
    Upgrading from CR4.6 to CR9/10/11/11.5 is essentially the same. The above document was written for CR9 specifically; however it will work for CR10/11/11.5. You will have to make minor adjustments to account for DLL file name changes (e.g. crviewer9.dll in CR9 vs. crviewer.dll in CR10/11/11.5).
    You will also want to review the changes to [database connectivity|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0003c6cc-891e-2b10-678e-8b1a2dd96556] at runtime from earlier versions of Crystal Reports compared to CR XI.

    Please note that the RDC has been retired with the release of Crystal Reports 2008. Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (v11.5) is the last version of Crystal Reports that is shipping with the RDC. While you can migrate your application to the RDC for CR XI or CR XI R2 you may want to start planning for future releases of your application since the RDC will no longer be available. The upgrade path for the RDC is to move to the CR .NET object model.  Here is the [RDC Statement of Direction|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80bd35e5-c71d-2b10-4593-d09907d95289].

  • Upgrading from CR 10 Embedded Edition to Crystal Reports (server) xi

    We recently upgraded from CR10 Embedded edition to Crystal Reports Server Xi. In our application the users access the reports via a web page (where they enter the paratemeters) and the report is displayed using the Crystal Reports viewer. The CR server xi was recently installed and all the SDK references have been as mentioned in this document: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/724. But now when the reports are accessed via the web page we are encountering the error 'All of your system's 0 Concurrent Access Licenses are in use at this time or your system's license key has expired. Try again later or contact your administrator to obtain additional licenses.---- Error code:-2147217397 Error code name:enterpriseLogonFailed'

    Hello SG,
    A common issue that arises when migrating from Crystal Enterprise 10 Embedded to Crystal Reports Server XI applications that use the Report Application Server (RAS) SDK.
    The RAS supports two modes of operation - "Unmanaged" and "Managed" reporting.
    With CE10Embedded, you'd be using Unmanaged Reporting, where you'd copy the Crystal Report rpt file to the RAS server, and reference it by path when opening it in the ReportClientDocument class instance.
    With Crystal Reports Server XI, you can use either Unmanaged Reporting, or Managed Reporting.  Managed means you'd publish the rpt file to be "managed" by the CR Server Central Management Server (CMS).  In code, you'd log onto the CR Server, retrieve the ReportAppFactory from the CMS, retrieve the report from the InfoStore, and pass it into the ReportAppFactory to create the ReportClientDocument.
    I'm assuming you're still using "Unmanaged Reporting" with Crystal Reports Server.
    If so, each report request will be authenticated in the CMS using the "Guest" account, and each request will use up a Concurrent Access License (CAL).
    If you're getting the exception on the first report request, then that likely means you have the complimentary copy of CR Server XI, that comes with zero CALs and five Named User Licenses.
    You won't be able to use unmanaged reporting with the complimentary version.  You may want to modify your code to use managed reporting.
    If you're getting the exception on the sixth or subsequent request, then that likely means you've purchased CR Server XI, and the base edition comes with 5 CALs.
    If you contact sales, you can inform them of the number of users you have, and how frequently they request reports, and sales can recommend a license to match your requirements.
    Sincerely,
    Ted Ueda

  • Lost XL reporter (.rcr) files after upgrade from B! 2005 to 2007 PL 47

    I have a user that says he has lost all of his XL reporter reports that he created since his upgrade of B1 from 2005 to 2007.  Has anyone had this issue?  Where are these reports stored?  Any ideas how to recover these reports?

    Dear Pat,
    XL Reports are actually stored in the individual company databases on which they are created, even if you uninstall the XLReporter addon, the reports will not be lost. XL Reports shouldn't also be deleted after an upgrade from 2005 to 2007 or from a patch to another. Thus far, I hadn't experienced any loss of XL Reports from upgrades.
    Hope this helps.
    Warmest Regards,
