Does anyone know how one would go about trying to import a 4.x report to webi 6.1b? Is this even possible?

ya know Indy - sometimes it’s OK to just say NO to your users

LOL. You don’t know our user… Just kidding.
I’m assuming we would need to have both version 5 and 6 to perform these report upgrades if they wanted them? Is that right?

anyways - I can’t speak for v4 but I think BO recommends upgrading reports to 5.16 before converting to v6. We converted FC 5.14 reports without problems. Don’t think you can convert any report into or from Webi v6 .wid format tho.

Don’t expect V4 to convert to V6. V5 had a different file structure. So, it’s not realistic to think that it would work any other way.

So in other words, it will not be possible to convert a v4 report to v6 webi?
indy (BOB member since 2004-04-08)
Right. Keep in mind that some V5 (pre 5.1.4) reports won’t convert well due to the caclulation engine changes.
