Hi
I need to automate the migration of VB6 Data Reports to Crystal Reports, which is now being done manually, is there any tool available to do this (or) is there a way to create one.
Thank you
No, there are no conversion tools to migrate VB6 Data Reports to Crystal Reports.
When you ask "is there a way to create one"... yes, anything is possible, but it's probably not worth the effort in this case.

I need to create a Crystal report with custom SQL code that I have written. Is this possible? I've looked at other posts asking similar questions but none of them work for me. I'm using Crystal Reports 2008.
Here is a link to an SAP knowledgebase article on creating a Crystal Report using a Command. This allows you to use your own SQL:

I am very new to working with SAS, have not worked with it before. My current workplace is asking me to migrate reports over from SAS and rework them using SSIS/SSRS. I'm not sure how would be the best way to go about this or where even to start. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
You will need to look at the data sources and the report outputs and figure out what is required to manually recreate the reports from scratch in SQL and SSRS. There is no conversion tool available.
OpenERP is one of the best ERP applications I ever used.
I found that almost everything must be built from the beginning to meet the specific needs for each one including the analysis reports, but there are some basic packages already built.
Since I am new to OpenERP functionality and still haven't learned how to create reports in OpenERP, I need to know if there is any addons/extra module that provides me some basic and ready to print reports and listings for the several modules. This reports and listings will help me to better understand and learn the functional part of the application and will allow me on a future to better understand how to build reports and listings in OpenERP.
If anyone can provide me a link or repository with such information I will be greatfull.
Thank you very much

There are various ways of creating reports with openerp. They are (i've prioritized)
Webkit (for html,web designers - this will be a great utility)
OpenOffice (for any office person with minimal technical skills)
RML (Strictly for programmers :))
Jasper Report (good for people with java-reporting base)
Aeroo (Rich functionality of exporting to excel,word etc, still i am not comfortable in aeroo with openerp 7)
Pentaho Report Designer (A reporting tool from pentaho )
These links will help you in understanding better, setup environment and learn from the sample modules and reports. However you need to design what u need with one of the reporting type.

Reporting from Odoo / OpenERP can be very frustrating at times. We have found over the years that no single solution is great for every need.
The built in reporting mechanisms mentioned in the first answer (rml / openoffice) have been somewhat deprecated and replaced with qweb reporting which renders similarly in HTML or PDF. They can be difficult to get fine-grained control and alignment, a lot of work to achieve non-regular reporting structures and cross tab reports, but are fast and easy to use for straightforward "document" type reports (such as orders / invoices).
I cannot comment on Jasper or Aeroo, as I have not used them.
Using Pentaho Reports for Odoo can be great because they are primarily reporting engines. They can do wonderful things with data, present them in great ways.
One upside with this connector is its ability to access Data using the object layer, or SQL, or both in one report if necessary (using sub-reports for example), as well as custom methods!
One downside we have found with Pentaho Reporting is that as the code base changes for OpenERP/Odoo, the connector changes, and configuration has to be continually re-vesited.
The latest version supports Odoo version 8 and version 5.4 of Pentaho reporting engine.
Im' working on a project where I have to use Pentaho. There are lots of tools included (or that can be include) in this solution.
I don't really see the difference between the reporting part (here PRD pentaho report designer) and the analysis part (pentaho analyzer or saiku).
For me, with both tools we can see what's in my DW and do more or less complicate reports about those data. Am i right or did I understand nothing?
thks for your help
Pentaho Reporting (PR) and Analysis tool are two different things. PR is static report, you can create it using sql. Analysis Tool report(AT) such as saiku, jpivot, or stpivot is dynamic . You must create it using MDX. By using AT, we can create analysis report dynamically according to the dimension we want.
I am working on MVC3 project. This time i need to go for reporting for my project. My reporting requirements are something like it should be Drill Down support, Graphs(Pie Chart, Bar chart etc). Is there any better tool available based on my requirement at free of cost?
Crystal Reports http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Reports
Is the better tool to cool reports and Graphs and _Drill_Down_. It have a free version. Good luck !
btw.. its eazy to build reports.
