Abstract
Various embodiments of systems and methods for converting reports between disparate report formats are described herein. In one aspect, a first report in a markup data schema is received. On another aspect, a second report in a banded report schema, comprising one or more bands, is created. The second report is created as a blank report. First report formatting settings of the first report are converted to second report formatting setting of the second report. Report content and report content layout from the first report are converted to the second report.

A computer implemented method for conversion of reports, the method comprising:
- receiving a first report in a markup data schema;
- creating a second report in a banded report schema, wherein the second report is created as a blank report and the banded report schema comprises one or more bands;
- converting first report formatting settings of the first report to second report formatting settings of the second report;
- converting report content and report content layout from the first report to the second report, wherein the report content comprises information presented in the first report and the report content layout comprises a report content positioning and display properties of the report content.
A computer system for conversion of reports, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory in association with the processor storing instructions related to:
- a receiving module to receive a first report defined in a markup data schema;
- a second report generation module connected to the receiving module to create a second report in a banded report schema, wherein the second report is created as a blank report and the banded report schema comprises one or more bands;
- a formatting conversion module connected to the receiving module and the second report generation module, to convert first report formatting settings of the first report to second report formatting settings of the second report;
- and
- a content conversion module connected to the formatting conversion module, to convert report content and report content layout from the first report to the second report, wherein the report content comprises information presented in the first report and the report content layout comprises definitions of position and display properties of the report content.
An article of manufacture for conversion of reports, comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium including executable instructions, which when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
- receive a first report defined in a markup data schema;
- create a second report in a banded report schema, wherein the second report is created as a blank report and the banded report schema comprises one or more bands;
- convert first report formatting settings of the first report to second report formatting settings of the second report;
- and
- convert report content and report content layout from the first report to the second report, wherein the report content comprises information presented in the first report and the report content layout comprises definitions of position and display properties of the report content.
