Macros in Deski to be replaced in WebI 4.1

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

We are planning to migrate 3.1 Deski reports to WebI 4.1.

We'll first convert them to WebI 3.1 using report conversion tool and then to 4.1. Is this approach correct?

While doing so how to take care of macros written in Deski?

In some cases, Deski report has multiple tabs and each tab output falls at different location using Macros.

How to achieve this requirement in BO Webi 4.1?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Prathamesh,

You could create a Program Object to mimic the function of the VBA macro.
