You can convert your .sxw to .rml using base_report_designer module.

Try following steps:

Open terminal -> go to openerp_sxw2rml folder like this:

cd addons/base_report_designer/openerp_sxw2rml

Then run this command: python openerp_sxw2rml.py absolute path of sxw > absolute path of rml

Like this:

python openerp_sxw2rml.py /home/arya/my_module/report/my_report.sxw > /home/arya/my_module/report/my_report.rml

This will convert sxw file into rml and you can find your file at given path of rml.

Thank you.
