Doubts creating a line report in BAM 11 tp4

Hi all,
I have this scenario here, I want to create a line report with multiple lines, for example:
I have a a dinamic variable wich is my sale guys, so that can be N sale guys, and I want to know how much they sold for a period of time wich I will input as a filter the begining and ending day, so at axle X I will have the dates and at Y I wil have the quantity, the problem is the only way I found to do this report was adding one Data Object for each sales guy, but that is a problem if I hire another sales guy I will have to change the report and I want to this dinamically because I have in my sales table the sales guy id so it will be more usable if there is a solution for this case.
Thanks all
Mario

You could use a manage dataobject approach with a line chart or a stacked bar chart. An example is the Stacked bar chart in BAM-CEP sample demo.
This was part of TP4 I believe.
Just set the filter for each sales id.
Let me know if this helps.

Currently I am working on matrix reporting structure. My requirement is to identify the dotted line reporting as well as direct reporting between org units to org units and where the relationships are storing and which tables.

How to create 2 lines header in Report painter

Hi. I am not good at Report painter. I want to create 2 lines header in Report painter just like SAP std report.
When I create a new form, I only have one line header form but cannot add additional header line.
I am looking at the 0SAPFS10-01 Trans.Fig.- Balances. which has two header lines
                           Debit              Credit            Balance       Accumulated Balanc
Periods                     &1FY               &1FY               &1FY               &1FY
I can create only one header just like
Periods                 Debit              Credit            Balance       Accumulated Balanc
cannot add additional line for
      &1FY               &1FY               &1FY               &1FY
please advise me
thanks in advance.

In report painter you can select variouselements based on which the data will be pulled. I haven't seen any report painter with two header lines and don't think report painter allows that. But for your requirement I believe you can select the periods in the header line itself.

Creating a custom report with detailed header and then associated detail

I am very new to CRMOD, so this question may be basic, but I have not found any good material yet to help me out, so here goes.
We are trying to create a Quote report that will be sent to our customers. The report needs to have both a header and detail section basically as follows:
<Header>
Quote Form
Date:
Expiration Date:
Sales Person Name:
Customer Name and address
Terms
... some other text data ...
<Detail>
Standard fields that define the quote, these are easy.
What I cannot determine how to do is create the header section. In the report designer, it only allows for a Title, logo, and another text line. Can anyone suggest another method?

I do not have the narrative option.
Options available are:
Title
Table
Chart
Pivot Table
Gauge
Active Filters
legend
Advanced
--> Column Selector
--> View Selector
--> Funnel Chart
--> Ticker
According to the documentation, the narrative view should be available from the advanced menu. Am I on a different package by chance?

CRXI Export to text - suppressed section creates blank lines

I'm using CRXI Proffesional - full version 11.5.11.1470
I have a report that uses the typical "stealth" subreport to obtain and pass info to the container, but remains invisible in preview mode. The fields in the subreport are all suppressed, the sections in the subreport are suppressed if blank and the subreport itself is suppressed when blank, the section that contains the subreport is also suppressed if blank.
This has always worked fine to get info into the container from the subreport while not creating any "white space" on the report.
Print preview and export to pdf both function just fine, omitting the blank lines.
It seems that exporting this to a text file is now creating blank lines for each occurence of the subreport.
I have seen this problem in a couple of forums but have not seen a resolution yet.
Does anybody have any idea how I can stop the exporting of suppressed blank sections ?

Good morning.
We've got something to get straight first
When you say "...from the Report Viewer. The report printed as expected on HP printer...", do you mean the viewer of the .NET app, or the viewer of the CR designer?
And version 12.0.0.683, is very old (well as far as CR is concerned anyhow ). That version is SP 1, we are now on SP 2. So that will be the place to start. Get to SP 2 which can be downloaded from here;

Export to text creates extra line

I've created a number of fixed width extract reports that will be used to upload data into another system. The files, in general, are fine, however Crystal Reports 2008 is adding an extra line to the end of the file. This is causing the upload to fail.
I've created several. extract reports before, so I reviewed a sample extract from a report I created in Crystal Reports XI R2 and it, too, had the same issue.
Googling indicates that others have had the same issue, but I have yet to find a resolution to the problem.
Has anybody else encountered this and do you know how to resolve the issue?
Thank you, Kurt

Hi Kurt,
In my scheduler app I have a command line option to remove (or replace characters) in the resulting export file. This was developed for exactly that reason (so there is a special option to remove/replace only the last character in the file).
You can develop the same approach. Alternatively, there are more direct upload options (the export can go directly into a database table).

Inputs requried to create purchase order report from flat file

inputs requried to create purchase order report from flat file

At a guess, I'd say purchase order data.
If you don't give us a clue what you are actually trying to do we can't really help you too much.
Do you want to call a BAPI? Do a BDC? Use an IDOC? Or just generally muck up the system by doing inserts into the purchasing tables?
No doubt if you tell us, you'll get lots and lots of suggestions.

Thanks a lot for your help.

i created a crystal report 2008 starting from blank report, then connect with odbc
i use 2008 method
objRpt.SetDatabaseLogon(db_username, db_password, odbc_name, database_name);
2008 method will get database logon failed even set database location and verify database again
then i use 8.5 method and try again for 2008 report. it said field name is unknown for one of formula

Can Power Users or Mgt Create and Design Reports Through Query Designer ?

Dear BI consultants,
Iam new to BI.
My management has requested me to Train Power users from All Modules(FICO,HR,QM,PP,SD,MM) to Create Queries and Design Through Query Designer.
My question is are we suppose to Give query Designer Access to Power users or Mgt so that they can create Queries and reports by themselves.Please Suggest me wht is the Best Practices.
is it feasable to train power users and Mgt as to how 2 create queries. will there be any side effect on the System or our end.
Plz suggest.
wht are the advantages and disadvantages of this.
If I train the Power users then is there any risk of my Job.
since they will be creating all reports by themselves.
wht else can a BI consultant do since iam in a support project.
how do i convince my Mgt?
Plz Suggest.
Thanks Awaiting

This is common procedure maintained in most of the company's for end users.
There is no issue if you train the power users.you will be the first point of contact if they have any doubts.and more over you are supporting for your client right? this can't be handed over to power user or end user. data is imp for the client so there will not be any problem for you, if any issue comes while loading you need to take care of the errors and fix the.
power users or end user will be familiar with Business requirement not with the Query building logic's not with the BW procedure so no worries for you.
as vineeth said its better to keep control regarding the global and key things at your end so that you will not loose contol on the reports.

end Create_File_Attachment;Oracle Report created the PDF file correctly (original.pdf).
I tried to attach the PDF into my Workflow.
I can see the file is attached (attach.pdf), but it cannot be opened.
The Adobe shows : 'A drawing error occured.' each time I open the attachment.
I compare the original.pdf and the attach.pdf
However, there is one specific difference
- in original.pdf, the line started with '.' (single period)
in attach.pdf, the line is started with '..' (two periods)
Thus the attachment cannot be opened.
After I delete the period, it can be opened.
Question:
- Has someone ever succeed in attaching the PDF created from Report?
- Are the codes above is wrong?
- Or perhaps the DBMS_LOB.LOADBLOBFROMFILE always double the single period on front of the line?
- Is there any solution on this?
Note:
I have succeed in attaching PDF files unless the PDF created by the Report.
Sorry for the long post.
Please help. It is very urgent.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,

The code looks absolutely good. I have the same code working in my system. Only difference is I use TRUE and DBMS_LOB.Session for the BLOB I use to read from the BFILE.
I can suggest one more way to handle to binary attachments if you are on Oracle 9i DB are later versions.
procedure attach_document (p_document_id   in varchar2,
                           p_display_type in varchar2,
                           p_document      in out nocopy clob,
                           p_document_type in out nocopy varchar2)
is
l_nid        number;
l_directory varchar2(100);
l_filename   varchar2(100);
l_content_type varchar2(100);
l_src_offset binary_integer := 1;
l_dst_offset binary_integer := 1;
l_err_msg    varchar2(100);
l_amount     number;
l_bfile BFILE;
l_blob BLOB;
l_clob CLOB;
file_not_found exception;
pragma EXCEPTION_INIT(file_not_found, -22288);
begin
l_nid := to_number(p_document_id);
l_directory := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_DIRECTORY'));
l_filename := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_FILENAME'));
l_content_type := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_CONTENT_TYPE'));
l_bfile := BFILENAME(l_directory, l_filename);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_blob, true, dbms_lob.Session);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, true, dbms_lob.Session);
begin
    dbms_lob.FileOpen(l_bfile, dbms_lob.File_Readonly);
exception
    when file_not_found then
      l_err_msg := to_char(sqlcode)||' - Attachment File "'||l_filename||'" is not found.';
      raise_application_error(-20002, l_err_msg);
end;
dbms_lob.LoadBLOBFromFile(l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.LobMaxSize, l_src_offset, l_dst_offset);
dbms_lob.FileClose(l_bfile);
-- Encode the BLOB content to BASE64 and attach to notification
wf_mail_util.EncodeBLOB(l_blob, l_clob);
l_amount := dbms_lob.GetLength(l_clob);
dbms_lob.Copy(p_document, l_clob, l_amount, 1, 1);
-- Mention an appropriate Content Type so that Notification System
-- understands the attachment content
p_document_type := l_content_type||'; encoding=base64; name='||l_filename;
end attach_document;Here I read the BLOB from the filesystem and base64 encode it before giving it to the Mailer. Please note that this is a PLSQLCLOB based attachment as against PLSQLBLOB that you are using.

Single Line Report issues

Hi, folks.
I have a table of employees and a table of certifications. An employee may have 0-15 certifications (and dates completed).
I'm trying to generate a single line report like this:
NAME - CPR DATE - FIRST AID DATE - Etc
I've made an evaluation formula:
If {Cert_Table.Type} = "CPR" then {Cert_Table.Date}
This works brilliantly...as long as CPR is the first record that matches the employee ID. If it is the second, it leaves the field erroneously blank.
I know the ideal way to show this would be a list, but the boss wants a single-line representation of the key certification dates.
How do I get crystal to report back the CPR date regardless of which order it appears?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
There are a couple of ways you can do this. Following your train of thought, you can build the string like:
Create a Group on Employee.
In the Group Header create a formula like:
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar Certifications := "";
In the Detail section create a formula like:
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar Certifications;
Certifications := Certifications += {Cert_Table.Date} & " - ";
In this formula, if your Date field is an actual date type then you will need to use the ToString function to convert it to a string or you will get an error.
In the Group Footer create a final formula like:
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar Certifications;
The first two formulas you can format to Suppress so you don't see them.
Good luck,
Brian
