Conversion logLocate this document in the navigation structure

The conversion log contains the conversion status for all objects in the BEx workbook. In the platform settings, you can specify whether a conversion log should be created during the conversion and whether it should be stored in a visible or hidden sheet in the workbook.

At the top of the conversion log, a message is displayed informing you whether conversion was successful. The ID of the BEx workbook and the selected conversion setting are shown too. Possible selections are to convert all objects, data sources and crosstabs or data sources only.

The objects of the BEx workbook are then displayed with the conversion status in three lists: one for data providers, one for planning objects and one for items (all other objects on the workbook). The list contains the following columns:

  • Status

  • Data Provider / Alias

  • Message

    Example An object with status Ignored can have the following message: Item not converted due to current conversion settings.
  • Sheet Range

    You can select the sheet range to go to the object in the workbook.
