Broad casting Webi report in excel format to different users email ids

Hello,
Seriously looking for the help, please help with the solution for below scenario.
We have a requirement to schedule broadcasting of Webi reports to users email in excel format from infoview. But our concern is how the system takes care of authorizations of users when we broadcast the report to their mail id as excel file.
For example we have one webi report for Finance and there are thousands of users for each department, cost centre etcu2026so how to broadcast the same webi report in excel to different users with only data they have authorized to see. We have committed to client that we can do this with out much massive overhead, please advise what is the easiest way to achieve this. I read something like this can be done using authorization profiles in CMS but creating those many profiles and mapping them to relevant authorizations is not possible as there are thousands of users with different authorization levels. And Client is expecting this broadcasting need to be done automatically with out every time manual intervention.
Looking forward for the prompt reply.
Thanks,
Gani.

Please use the Dynmanic Recipients functionality of the Publication.
For this we need to do follow steps.
1) Create the WebI Report that needs to be published(Broadcasted)
2) create Deski/webi report which contains the user details and email id's for publishing main report.
3) Map the properties of souce report with Dynamic Recipient report.
Please refer the user guide for more inforamtion.This helps you in avoiding manual creation of profiles in CMC.
Regards,
Siva

Cells merge issue when extracting webi report in excel format

Hi Experts,
We have some WEBI reports in BO XI 3.1.
The reports have header where we are showing report name and some values which user selects in prompt.
Now the issue is that when we save our webi report in excel format, many cells get merge.
I have read many post on scn which suggest some solutions like changing the autofit width option to no and aligning the header width with colums.
Tried both the option but no success.
Is there any other way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rishabh

Hi,
We managed to find the workaround for this merge cell issue.
Sharing it might be helpful for someone.
- Align the report name and other block in report in such a way that the ends are in line with the end point of any column. The only limitation is that when applying pivot to the excel output we neet to click on any of the ccolumn so that excel identify the data set.
- Second workaround is to break the webi document in two parts report1 will contain the report name and the block to show the prompt values selected by the user where as report2 will contain the table withactual data. The only limitation with this workaround is that when exporting the repot output to excel we will get two tabs in the excel sheet one containing the prompt values and secont tab containing the actual data.

RS

Hi Team,
Would like to know how to provide/grant an access to User to save his/her BO reports in Excel format. Save as option is not being highlited for the user for saving the data into EXcel format.
Thanks.

Hi,
Just check the preferences in the WEBI,
Just goto the option under preferences and check whether Prioritize easy data processing in Excel is enabled.
Select a priority for saving to MS Excel:

Exporting large report to Excel format (90K lines)

I believe it is a timeout problem. Any idea how work around this?
Thanks,

I don't have the right to create reports. With those datas, I need grouping them filtering them, commenting them, creating TCD and distributing it. I believe it is easier exporting it and handle it. Also I don't want the data changing from day to day.
Then you are foobar'ed.
there is nothing more you can do it the SSRS export feature is not working for you, and you don't have access to the CM12 db and you can't create report. There are no other option to access the data.

Exporting Web Report to Excel - SAPBW_DOWNLOAD

When exporting a web report to excel it uses the embedded SAPBW_DOWNLOAD template. Is it possible to use and assign a seperate template like the one I'm currently using for Workbooks.

Hi,
I don't understand what do you mean here. Do you mean we could not reduce size in the first time? We have exactly the same problem and the file size is about 20-40 MB. This size is too big to download by end user. It's excel file with .xls extension. When I open it by Excel and then try to Save As, it try to save as Web Page with *.htm extension. If I resave as a Excel Workbook format, the size is reduced to 3-4 MB. My question is the same as the other folk, how do I save it as Excel format with proper size the first time?
Thanks,

Exporting a web report to Excel

Hi,
When I export a web report to Excel, it works fine. when I resave the same file as .xls file, the excel file size is reduced drastically (less than 1/10).
Why is this happening? Any way to reduce the file size in the first stage, that is down loading to Excel from web.
Thanks

Export WebI Report in others formats

Hi,
Is there any way to export a WebI report in HTML format. Current only the following output format options are available while scheduling a WebI report:
1) Web Intelligence
2) Microsoft Excel
3) Adobe Acrobat
thanks!!!

Hi Alvaro,
These are the only supported formats. Desktop Intelligence and Crystal support other formats. You might consider the Query as a Web Service which can provide your data as XML.

Issue while exporting report in Excel Format

Hello,
I am facing problem while exporting the report in Excel Format. After analysis, I think that it could be due to two reasons, either we are using wrong versions of Jars, or we are using wrong API. Here is the code, approaches and problems we are facing. Please help.
First approach we are using is:
// using basic API
import com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.ReportClientDocument;
// get client document from crystal report API and open the report by specifying the report name, with path
               ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
               reportClientDoc.open( reportPath, 0 );
               // give chance to extending classes to configure the report document by POJO or by sql parameter etc, just adding the parameters infromation using ParameterFieldController
               configureReportDocument( reportClientDoc, reportMetadata, reportData, reportContext );
               // get data source of crystal report
               Object reportSource = reportClientDoc.getReportSource();
               // export the data - we have also tried with MSExcel format
               ReportExportFormat exportFormat = ReportExportFormat.recordToMSExcel;
               LOGGER.debug( "exportFormat[" + exportFormat + "]" );
               ByteArrayInputStream byteArray = (ByteArrayInputStream) reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(
                         exportFormat );
Problem Faced: Specified Excel format is not supported.
Second Approach: We come to know that excel format is supported with new releases and with occa package.
Then we tried with import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument; It ask to set the ReportServer. When we are trying to set the server as
               reportClientDoc.setReportAppServer(ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString);
Application is unable to find 'ReportClientDocument.inprocConnectionString' property. It seems like we are using some old jars. However we have downloaded the latest released jars for eclipse 2.
Please help for it. Issue is to export the report in excel format, which is currently working fine for PDF. If this problem is related to Jars, please suggest the path to download the latest jars. We also looking for the latest jars like rasapp and rascore etc. But these are not available with Crystal Report for Eclipse 2 release.
Waiting for urgent help. Thanks you..

Mohit

Need to convert AP Invoice Aging Report in Excel format

Hi,
Need to convert AP Invoice Aging Report in excel format..there was an existing Invoice Aging report in AP and that was in paper format. That we need to convert to rtf template..
There was an other concurrent program called 'Invoice Aging Report (XML) - Reserveed for future use', when i am using that rtf template..to get the report output it was taking more than 1 hr time.
1)Is there any way/patch to get that XML report to be used in 12.1.3 EBS version
2) is there any other way to get the report output faster.
Thanks..

Hi,
When submitting the request, you may change the output to Excel and get the output in Excel. Otherwise as you mention if you getting the output in text format, you may download the text format and open the document in excel and use the delimitation to format in excel as per your requirement.
1)Is there any way/patch to get that XML report to be used in 12.1.3 EBS version
2) is there any other way to get the report output faster.
Is your statistics up to date, when did you last run gather schema statistics program in Sysadmin responsibility.
Also what is the record quantity that you are expecting here? Is date range parameter available in the report and if yes, did you try running the report for a day to check the output.
Thanks &
Best Regards,
