Automated Batch Reports

We have Oracle 10g reports (PDF format) and ASP reports (Excel format). Now I want to automate these reports which will run on every Sunday. It should store the reports in the specified drive. Also all the reports will accept input parameters.
One more thing, currently my users are running these reports using ASP (Classic) application. User will pass parameters from ASP page to all the reports.
What is the best way to achieve this?
Thanks for your valuable inputs.

1. Operating System
WIndows -> Use Windows Scheduler.
create a batch file which uses rwrun.exe to run the report.
And specify the email id /parameters
Non Windows -> Use cronjob
create a shell script which uses rwrun.sh
2 Database Scheduler/ DBMS_JOB
create a database procedure. And inside that we need to write the commands to run the report.
3 Report Server Scheduler..( i havent used this and if I remember each time we restart the reports server previous jobs are erased )

CCM automated (batch) upload program to Procurement Catalog

Hello to all,
There does not appear to be a report to enable an automated (batch) upload program to a CCM Procurement Catalog. This is a problem for customers who need off-hours periodic updating of their procurement catalog.
Has anyone encountered this problem and has found or developed a solution?
Thanks in advance for you help and comments.
Frank Heisner

Frank: to clarify things, the process is to upload content into Supplier Catalogs, and then map to Master and Procurement.
And you're correct - there is no standard report for uploads. But you can develop a custom one. An example of such can be found in the <a href="https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/011000358700002122802006E/CCM_Migr_enhanceMarch_9th.ppt">Requisite-to-CCM Migration Toolkit</a>.

Automated/batch printing job?

Hi all,
We are using BW 3.5 and I was wondering if there is a way to set up an automated batch print job. (ie. let's say that once a month a report is generated automatically, is there a way to tell BW to print that report automatically at a given time without user interaction?)
Thanks for any help you can offer and points will be awarded to helpful replies.

How would I go about doing that?
From the research I've done, I believe background printing can be done using BEx Broadcaster in BI 7.0 but not BI 3.5. Is this accurate or is there another way to accomplish this in BI 3.5?
Thanks.

Batch Report Print First for Invoices

Hello Experts.
Is there a way to set the batch report to print first, rather than the invoice? It doesn't seem like I am able to create a print sequence because the batch report is not an option when setting up the sequence from invoice PLD. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Taylor

Hi Taylor,
There is no option to support your goal because the system has designed in current way. Before you print invoice, the Batch Report will not be available to print.
Thanks,

Financial Report/Batch report deletion by mistake

Hello Gurus,
We seemed to have deleted one of the Financial Reports and one batch report from the Workspace folder.
Is there any way to check and see if it is stored in some place in the hyperion directory.
Thanks

A financial report is stored in both the RAF relational repository and within the RAF data directory, when you delete the report it will be removed from both these locations.
Cheers

Automated batch doesn't work in photoshop & from Bridge

Hi all,
Automated batch from Bridge tools>photoshop>batch Photoshop cs5 stops working. Automated batch also doesn't work in photoshop. Automated actions work in Photoshop. All other Photoshop process work from Bridge. I use a PC with windows. This happens even with files I was previously able to do an automated batch with Photoshop. It doesn't matter what the file extension is. This has only recently begun happening for no apparent reason.

First, given what you've written, it's important to ask: 48 x 48 what? Details matter. 48 x 48 pixels? Inches?
Beyond that, yes, I believe the Image Size dialog interacts with us a little differently than it used to.
Whether it's a positive or negative design change I can't say. They're trying to pack a lot of functionality in there, and it might take a little getting used to... It does seem deterministic:
If you want to keep the physical print size the same and increase the pixel density - i.e., upsample the image - you would have to choose physical dimensions. Try this:
1. Change the units to inches.
2. Change the ppi value and press OK. This resamples the image.
On the other hand, if you want to keep the pixel count the same, but just change the ppi value so that it matches a particular kind of display, how would you do it? Try this:
1. Change the units to pixels.
2. Change the ppi value and press OK. This changes the metadata.
Are you trying to assume what leaving the units set to percent means? To me it says "xx % of the pixel count".

Financial Reporting batch reports run slow at random

FR reports version: 11.1.2.1
This is a summary of our environment:
-Linux server where Hyperion batch reports run
-Linux (SLES-11) server where Essbase resides
-Windows 2008 server where Hyperion Print Service and GhostScript reside
This is what we observed this morning:
Batch reports are executed serially by a master shell script.
One of these reports takes 30+ minutes to complete. The exact same report usually completes in less than 3 minutes.
This problem occurs 3 to 5 times each morning, and not necessarily on the same report.
While the report shows ‘Running’ in the Hyperion Batch Scheduler, there is no process present on reports server. There is no active session on Essbase. There is no active print process on the print server.
Eventually, the report completes successfully and the pdf file is present on reports server.
We haven’t been able to determine where the process is during the period that it appears to be stuck. The best we can do is to look at the status on the Batch Scheduler. It is not a practical option for us to schedule everything using the Batch Scheduler on a daily basis.(this is what Oracle is suggesting, by the way).
Has anybody experienced similar FR batch reports slowness?
Thanks.

IT parsed the HTML into csv so that another program could compare a Trial Balance from HFM with a Trial Balance from the source GL system to ensure all data got imported to HFM.

*bold*Automated Batch Printing

How do i code automated batch printing.
I had no idea how to start and I had read up most online help on Google but still I can't figure out how to do automated batch printing in Java
I am required to read a folder consists of multiple RTF files.
Its easy to read a single RTF file and print it but how do i read a folder and print everything .
Another problem would be that the printing done should have courier font and alignment in the RTF file however i had tried different way to read and print the data in the RTF file ,which I could only get either courier font with no alignment or not courier font with alignment , i need both of the courier font and alignment to suit an external application RightFax.
Thus I had thought of a way to direct print the RTF files from folder , an example will be the application SilentPrint how can i call the window's or Microsoft's office print services ? or is it even possible for Java?
Thanks a lot if help is provided , at least a little clue of where to start?
or u at least tell me whether is it possible to code automated batch printing in java ? like what SilentPrint can do
Edited by: yarmageddony on Oct 30, 2007 1:36 AM

Thanx again for the clue for runtime.exec
runtime.exec cant help you print but by searching i found the usage of desktop
which is what i want exactly for batch printing :)
java.io.File folder = new File("Z:\\BTSS Log\\Fax\\Y2007 M10 D25");
     File[] listOfFiles = folder.listFiles();
     for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.length; i++) {
     if (listOfFiles.isFile()) {
     try {
     de.print(listOfFiles[i].getAbsoluteFile());
     File fi = new File("Z:\\BTSS Log\\Fax\\Y2007 M10 D25\\Deleted");
     fi.mkdir();
     listOfFiles[i].renameTo(new File("Z:\\BTSS Log\\Fax\\Y2007 M10 D25\\Deleted",listOfFiles[i].getName().toString()));
     } catch (IOException e1) {                                                     // TODO Auto-generated catch block
     e1.printStackTrace();
System.out.println("File: " + listOfFiles[i].getName());
} else if (listOfFiles[i].isDirectory()) {
System.out.println("Directory: " + listOfFiles[i].getName());
}hope my code helps other who are looking for batch printing in folders as there isnt much help online out there ^^

Batch Reports in HFM

We are on version 11.1.1 of HFM and we are trying to use the feature where you can batch reports. We can get the batches set up and they run but it seems that when we try to use the bursting options, we can't get any emails to go out. We followed the instructions in the student guide on how to edit the bursting destination files, but nothing happens. We aren't IT people at all so I'm wondering if there is something that needs to be set up behind the scenes to make this feature work. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Do you have softcopy of HFM student guide ?
Thanks!

Hi,
As we already have std BAPIs for creating contract like, BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATE and BAPI_CONTRACT_CREATEFROMDATA, what is the need for going to a ZBAPI?
Remember that ZBAPIs will not be supported by SAP and if any screen seq changes with custom fileds etc, BDC will not work. Try to use std BAPI if possible.

Stopping a batch report

I have a batch report that is locked up in the "running" status. How can I kill it? It was set up using the batch scheduler in workspace. I can delete the line item, but it always returns and is back in running status.
Thanks

Never mind. It eventually cleared itself after I deleted it. It just several minutes (and returned as "running" while completing the delete process). At least I hope this is how it worked.

How generate a crystal reports layout for Batch Report

Dear Experts,
I want to create a crystal reports layout for Batch Report that appears when printing Delivery Note.
I've tried using DocKey@ token but it only works in the delivery note layout itself. The following code at the select expert for this crystal layout doesn't work:
{ODLN.DocEntry} = {?DocKey@}
Kindly guide me in the above issue. Thanks.

I am using version 8.8 SP.00 PL.10
It is very strange that I cannot get the layout connected to the database as I have followed the same steps for all layouts. It all works fine until I get to the invoice stage and then I cannot make the connection.
(I dont need to worry about the sales invoice as this was provided at installation point by our vendor)

Include results in "Batch Report" instead of "UUT Report"

Hi all,
I have modified the ProcessSetup callback in TS 4.0 to perform a preliminary hardware test before I test 8 UUTs using the Batch model. Since it's a callback, the results are not recorded by default, so I store them into a global array of results. Then, I copy this array of results into my MainSequence results array.
The problem is that this means these preliminary test results will be recorded for UUT0 (if I use "One thread only" synchronization") or for all UUTs (if I use the batch model synchronization). How can I add the results of my ProcessSetup test to the "Batch results" section of the results page instead of the "UUT Results" sections? The test is checking the shared hardware and therefore applies to all UUTs. I'd rather not have it repeated for each UUT or make it look like it only applies to the first UUT.
Thank you,
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Tomahawk,
Al is correct that if you were using HTML or ASCII report formats, you could override the ModifyReport... Callbacks to get what you want. Unfortunately, with XML Reporting, you can not use the ModifyReport... Callbacks. In order to accomplish the functionality you would like to see while continuing to use the XML report format, you will need to modify the BatchReport Callback as well as the XML style sheet that you are using.
In TestStand 4.2 we created tutorials and provided better documentation for our XML Style Sheets. With a little bit of effort, I'm confident that with TestStand 4.2 you would be able to achieve your goal.
I would suggest taking a look at the Customizing TestStand Style Sheets topic of the TestStand 4.2 Help (available online). Unfortunately, the TestStand 4.0 XML Style Sheets do not have the same quality of documentation as the TestStand 4.2 Style Sheets so you will not have commented sections in the 4.0 Style Sheets as the Help explains.
For this particular case, you would want to modify the BatchReport Callback to store the data that you want to place in your Batch Report section. Then, you would need to modify the Batch Report section of the XML Style Sheet with the appropriate XPath to display that data in the Batch Report.
