Get list of reports in BOV5.1.6

Hello Champs,

I want to get the list of all the reports from the repository in BOV5 and BOXIR2.

After which I will check the missing reports from both the list and then accordingly migrate and then convert the BOV5 reports to BOXIR2.

Has anyone cam across a macro/way to get the list of reports from each of the repository.

OR is there already a macro to compare between the 2 versions.

Best Regards,
Milind D. Kadam

In version 5.x the best approach consists of doing a universe on the repo itself. The table OBJ_M_DOCUMENTS has all you need. Just hack into it and you’ll find what you need.

For instance, here you have a SQL that will retrieve your DeskI (aka FC) reports:

select M_DOC_C_NAME from OBJ_M_DOCUMENTS
where
M_DOC_N_TYPE=1

In case you are dealing with a migration involving security subsystem too, and in case this security subsystem is huge and difficult to restore, keep in mind that you can still recover it in a XIr2-like way, without losses on your security model, and without hassles on XIr2 administration side.
