Nagendra,

I am not aware of a way to migrate reports from SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) to WebFocus. You will most likely have to recreate them in WebFocus within a configured environment. Are you really new to all this? Have you used WebFocus before as of yet?

Nagendra,

So, you are brand new to WebFocus (starting with 8 I see), and your team needs to have you migrate reports from SSRS to a WebFocus 8 environment, right? Is there anyone else at your site that's worked with WebFocus 8, DevStudio or AppStudio before? Are you the pioneer of the bunch?

If there is another/other person/people that have experience at your site with WebFocus I would get with them to help you learn the ropes. If not, you've got quite the task ahead of you. Sorry to say that.

I would begin learning how to create reports with IBI's AppStudio product if you have a license for such. You will have to set the environment up first before you begin developing reports though. Then once you get a hang of creating stuff in WebFocus, you will be better prepped to convert SSRS reports to such.

Look on IBI's website for demo projects and WebFocus 8 documentation to help. Also, you may consider taking courses from IBI to help jump start you. That's in their education portion of their site.
