Running Conversion Tools
To convert reports to ClientUI Reporting, please do the following step.
- Open a Command Prompt window.
Look for the ReportConverter.exe, which should be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Intersoft Solutions\ClientUI 12\Tools\
Code Block language bash cd C:\Program Files (x86)\Intersoft Solutions\ClientUI 12\Tools\
Specify your report file path as the command argument.
Code Block language bash ReportConverter.exe D:\Reports\SimpleReport.rpt
You can also specify a wildcard if you have more than 1 report to convert.
Code Block language bash ReportConverter.exe D:\Reports\*.rpt
The output result will be written by default with the same name but different extensions (.xaml). However you can change it by specifying the second argument, but it is valid only with single file name in the first argument.

Now what you need to do is to review and fix the output result. The following list represents the common problems when converting the reports.
- Datasource
The tools convert only the data definitions. If your report need a datasource, then you need to provide the data provider. To learn more about report data provider, see Data Provider Overview topic. - Image
Currently there is no way to extract image source stored in report template, especially from Crystal Reports, so the result image will be left empty.
- Scripting
Not all of the scripting, event, and complex logic can be converted. Most of them will be written 'as is', so you need to re-write it using ClientUI Scripting. Please refer to Scripting Overview.
