migration: DataSets problems

Brat2

I try to migrate reports using frReport.SaveToFR3File(frReport.FileName);
It works,but:
1. the imported datasets are not activated. I must go in Report-Data-SelectReportdatasets and to check them manually. Since I have to migrate hunderts of reports it couldn`t be a solution.
2.(Because no dataset checked during the migration) No data available will be shown in Data page. No one band is connected to data. I should assign datasets manually band after band.
3. Datasets are placed onto Dialogform. Memos in 3 are Memo.text="[DialogForm.Query1."Nachname"], but that is not functioning, I should erase DialogForm. in order to see the memo working.

OK, the last change I can do in XML file. But I couldn't identify where in the file the datasets are set to active. I suppose this is in Propdata of Dataset, but how can I change it?

FR2-FR3 converter does not convert used datasets (because in the FR2 there was no such feature). So you should manually enable all needed datasets in the FR3 designer.

I also have hundred report to migrate.

I have tried the convertion utility to migrate the most simple DB report

The 2.54 report consist of a master databand with a field on It.
I use the TFrDBDataSet on the same form as the TFrReport to access the Sql data.

After converting the .frf to .fr3 an opening it with a TFrxReport, I am never able to select any dataset.

What should I do ? do I miss something ?

I finally found how to select the dataset but neither the converting tool or SaveToFr3 seems to work properly.

1) the TFrxMemoView is no more a child of the master data band
2) All components loose their dataset property
3) THe dataset name change : in Fr2 it is the name of the dataset attached to the FrDBDataSet while in fr3 it is FrDBDataSet.Name ...

Do I miss something ?
