Report Converstion Tool under Windows 7

23 Views

We are running BO XI R2 on XP but our users will soon be given the opportunity to upgrade their networked PCs to Windows 7 so we have been doing some testing. Designer and Desktop Intelligence work without any problems and XI InfoView appears to work fine with IE8 but the Report Conversion Tool will not convert any reports from Deski to Webi.

When we run the tool, some aspects of the screens do not display correctly, e.g. the left-hand panel where you navigate the document folders does not display the plus and minus signs that you can normally click. Double clicking folders does open them up so that is not a particular problem. However, when you reach the point where you want to turn auditing on, the text "Audit the conversion" displays OK but the check box is not displayed to the left of it. Clicking the text appears to select the option because it then displays the text box below for the audit comments to be entered. Similarly, you can click "Append new rows to the audit table" even though the check box is not displayed. However, when you then click the Next button, the result is that the conversion fails and it does not write the error to the audit table.

If we then run the tool on an XP machine, the report converts without problem.

Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, have you been able to resolve it?
