crystal report to jasper migration

[rene.beck]

Hi

I know there have been previous posts about the migration from crystal reports to jasper.

But no one was helpfull.

In one question there was a link

http://community.jaspersoft.com/questions/994346/convert-crystal-report-jasper-report

but I cant access this link.

anybody has a suggestion how to do the migration easily? somehow export in crystal?

We had a developer write a program in .NET where they used the Crystal API and Jasper's published xsd (http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/xsd/jasperreport.xsd) to create jrxml files.  It's not perfect and the biggest hurdle of all is trying to translate Crystal formulas into java/groovy expressions.

Our workflow will be to convert the report then hand it off to the developers to clean it up addressing formula conversion errors or missing summaries since they are handled differently than Crystal.  We will convert 500+ reports using this method.

It's a work in progress.  I will see about putting it on GitHub when it is finished.

Update 2023-Dec-28, the company decided not to move forward with the homegrown solution and instead use a 3rd party to do the lion's share of the conversion.  They were wonderful.  The developer who wrote the conversion tool left and we do not have that source since it never became a supported project.
