How to Migrate Sap BUsiness Objects Reports into Jaspersoft Reports

[idstewart]

I have been currently doing it manually (dual monitors is a plus) since I don't know the JRXML perfectly yet and I do not have to time to write a Java program to do the migration. It is possible though, but I know the people at Jasper legally cannot make a program to do it.

I do not know if an individual, who is not affiliated with either company, would have legal issues or not with making a program that could covert to either format.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your reply.

you said manually means, are you developing the reports in jasper from scratch.

Sadly, I do. But the plus side is that it has been a great learning opportunity for me to figure out how can I recreate those reports and if I can improve them in Jasper.

I think SAP licensing prohibits people from selling or making public an utility to do the migration.

That's why there's no discussion about this topic. I've heard that's it's possible to write a program to do it though.

I think there's some services that'll help with developing Jaspersoft Reports based on existing report layouts.

i have also done report developement in jasper for infomatica pcmr reports when we have done the migration project from informatica reprots to jasper.

Thank you very much for your reply.

i am just trying to figure out that can we use talend which gives jasper files as output by taking any input.

can we use etl tool to take a webi report as input and migrate it to jasper report output and playing with that jasper report for more advanced stuff.

You'll still need to write XLST or Java program to do the transformation mappings within an ETL job.
