Exporting Queries from Developer Reports .rdf file

Is there a way I can extract the queries from the Developer Reports .rdf file.
We have the reports on a NT File server from where the users access the reports. We do not have the Report tables installed in the database.
We are using Developer Reports 3.0
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chegi Reddy

This isn't possible directly. You could use the conversion utility to convert the rdf files to rex files (textual representations), or XML files with the 9i release, and then parse these files to get the queries. Note that since rex is considered an 'internal' representation there's no documentation on the structure, but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out where the queries are.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Extracting SQL Queries from Crystal Reports

I am trying to find a way or a utility to be able extract SQL queries from Crystal reports into a text file for documentation purposes. These queries are not in the repository, they were entered into each of the reports when the reports were being built and I can't find a way to extract them. Any ideas/suggestions?

Hello,
CR doesn't have the ability, and I don't recall if this has ever been asked previously. Great suggestion for the Idea Place tab in the up right corner of this page.
If you find a developer it's quite simple to get:
            // log onto the server and then get the SQL.
            rptClientDoc.DatabaseController.LogonEx("van-w-13-dwilli", "xtreme", "sa", "pw");
            GroupPath gp = new GroupPath();
            string tmp = String.Empty;
            rptClientDoc.RowsetController.GetSQLStatement(gp, out tmp);
            // show the SQL but easy enough to save the SQL text to a file.
            MessageBox.Show(tmp, "Data Source Set and SQL Statement", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
Of course you need to open the report first, lots of samples on how to...

Remove Reschedule jobs from Developer Reports Sever 6i

Install Forms in one directory (You can have reports in the same
directory).
Install oracle DB in another directory.
Don't change any file and reboot.
The listener will start automatically as a service.
(If not from a command line write "lsnrctl start" to start it).
To connect from forms/report to the DB you need to activate the
sqlnet easy config tool from the directory where forms is.
Follow the wizard to define an entry in the tnsnames.ora file
automatically.
Then you can use your forms with the DB.
(IF you get problems it usually helps to let us know the error
code you get so we can direct you in the correct direction).

How to export tables from development server to production server

HI,
Any body plz let me know how to export tables from development server to production server. what are the user names and password i need to ask my manager to do that. what are the requirements i need to ask him.
Plz reply me ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

hi buddy
first of all you should let us know the environment of production and development servers
database versions
and you need to have userid which has privilege to export tables of other schema. userid(owner) of the tables you want to export.
Traditional way
export tables in development server and then ftp to production and then import
in the above case you should have similar database structure(tablespace etc) to avoid errors...
if there are few tables only , you can use dblink instead of export and import...

Change exported XML from a report

Hello,
I need to export a XML from a report button with this structure:
<LOTE CONTABLE>
<CONFIG />
<LOTE>LOTE</LOTE>
<LINEAS>
<LINEA>
<FAC_CODI>1</FAC_CODI>
<EFDESC>F/pruebass N 1</EFDESC>
<EFTYPENT>P</EFTYPENT>
<EFCOMPTE>960</EFCOMPTE>
</LINEA>
</LINEAS>
I have a report with all the columns that I need. I have created a Report Queries (from Shared Components) to generate a XML with the same sql as the report but the XML that APEX generates by default has this structure:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<FAC_CODI>1</FAC_CODI>
<EFDESC>F/pruebass N 1</EFDESC>
<EFTYPENT>P</EFTYPENT>
<EFCOMPTE>960</EFCOMPTE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
How can I change this structure? I want to add a header and replace "rowset" and "row" to "lineas" and "linea". Is it possible?
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Amparo

The issue is that in the following code, I've replaced this line:
qryCtx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext('select hash_value from hash');
with this line:
qryCtx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext(V_Return);
I did this because the value that I want to be in XML is in the variable V_Return and not in a table. I get a compilation error:
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong typeCompilation failed
Is there a way to use newContext with a variable value rather than a select statement from a table?

It seems unlikely. The DBMS_XMLGEN documentation says:
>
The DBMS_XMLGEN package converts the results of a SQL query to a canonical XML format. The package takes an arbitrary SQL query as input, converts it to XML format, and returns the result as a CLOB.
>
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10577/d_xmlgen.htm#i1012053
If <tt>VReturn</tt> is not a SQL query then you will need to use one of the (many) other ways of generating XML. This question has nothing to do with APEX and would be better addressed to the XML DB.
Additionally, the recommended methods for XML generation, encryption and hashing are heavily version-dependent and you should always quote the relevant DB version/edition information to ensure an appropriate answer. For example, DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT is deprecated as of Oracle 10g and replaced by DBMS_CRYPTO.

Put report .rdf file and .xml customization

hi frnds,
where can i keep .rdf file and .xml file (for customization)? shall i keep on application server? now, to generate report i've written one script ...where can i keep this?
-bhavin

Hi Tim,
Context: R12 France Telecom (FT) migration from 11i
FT Reports are complex and the quantity of data / size of files generated by reports can reach up to 20Go. So I need to convert RDF to DATA Template because RDF can not generate some so big files (limit=2Go in 11i and may be 10Go in 12)
I experience some troubles / issues / limits with reports conversion to XML.
1 - some Data templates are not generated because of error : [052107_102109040][][EXCEPTION] java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0. I sent you 2 mails in the past with error detail but have no answer.
2 - Data Templates are not directly usable because Reports include call to packages stored in PLL files. Pakages definition are well include in XML file generated by Report converter (1st step of conversion) but are not take in account when PL/SQL routine generation (Data template generation).
Can you help me especially for the 1st issue
I'd like to show a XMLP demo to FT using the Data source generator XDODTEXE in GL. I see XDOGLDEMO and GLGENJRNDT concurrent programs but there is no Data Definition / XML Data Template associated. Can you tell me if it exists a Data Template and where it can be retrieved from.

Reg : export data from ALV to excel file

Hi All,
I am using REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY to display the output. I have total 73 columns getting displayed in output but when i export the data to the excel file using (ctrlshiftF9) I am getting only first 43 columns in the first row and from 44th column on wards the data is populated in the 1st column of second row.
Please let me know is there any particular setting by which I can get all the 73 columns in a single row.
Thanks in advance.
VIJAY

Hi vijay,
You can try setting your line width to 255 in your abap program.
Otherwise, you can try an alternative:
1. Put a customize button on the ALV toolbar.
2. Go to se41 to create th buttons
2. do i_callback_program in ALV function. or SET PF_STATUS
3. Then in sy-ucomm, use 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' to xls.
Hope this helps you.
Thanks

Export data from ABAP report to SAP BW system

Hi Everyone,
I have requirement to export data from the R/3 system from a ABAP report to BW system.
Currently we are planning to create a Ztable to put the data into that, but I would like to know , is there a better way to do instead of going for a Ztable.
Regards,
Shobana.K

Hi Shobana,
is possible define a data-source in RSO2 with Function module as source.
In this function module you define a table. During the loading data in BW from this datasource the system execute this function module and transfer the line of that table.
In the function module you can repeat the code of the abap program.
You can see the function module example (RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE).
Regards.

Export graphs from Web report

Hi.
I need to copy graphs from web reports in 3.5.To do this, i have followed a roundabout:
1. Save the page as mht (web archive file)
2.Copy the image from there and paste into Powerpoint or wherever required.
Is there any better way to do it? Or can I bring the save as mht option in the context menu?
Is SAP addressing it any soon?
Also is there any way to send graphs in addition to the tables via the 'distribute as email option"?
Cheers
Anand

When you broadcast using the standard template the template '0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING' is used for broadcasting. This template only has a navigation block and table item, this is the reason why the chart is not displayed in this template. If you create a custom template for broadcasting which has chart item in it you will be able to get the chart displayed (it will be always displayed.) See the attached link for custmoizing.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/0e044017355c0ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm
You can also override this behaviour if you attach the query to a custom web template, in this case when you broadcast you will get exactly what you see in the current report.

Problem exporting workbooks from development EUL to test EUL

I have created some workbooks in a Development EUL. We want to promote them to a test EUL for users to test on. I shared my workbooks to both my boss's user name, and to the responsiibility that he uses when he does Discoverer Admin stuff. In development, my boss is able to see these workbooks. He can open them and run them. So my boss did one export out of development and into test for the business area. That went just fine and he can see the business area and its folders in the test EUL. So next he did a new export out of development, picking my workbooks. As the workbook owner, I do NOT exist at this time in the test EUL. When my boss did the import of that workbook .eex file into the test eul, we got a security warning message on each workbook. Since I did not exist, on the import it should not matter which option you pick - either make the admin user the owner out right, or make owner only if owner does not exist. My boss is not able to see the workbooks we imported. The main Discoverer administrator says the workbooks did get imported. So we are puzzled as to why he cannot see them. Has anyone run into a situation like this before? Any ideas on what might be happening to us? Is it possible that we have run across a programming error in Discoverer admin? Thanks for any time and assistance on this.

Well, what we ended up doing is that in the development EUL, I shared the workbooks to the responsibility that my boss uses. My boss then exported the workbooks out of development and imported to the test EUL. In the import wizard he specified to rename the existing objects. Import log shows objects being renamed and then a successful import completion. My boss can now see the workbooks in the test EUL. So while he could see and run in development shared to user name, it seems as if when imiporting, the responsibility somehow takes over and is required. We are waiting to see if the test user can see the workbooks (currently shared to user name), or if will need to have the test user give us a responsibiity to share to. Beginning to wonder why Oracle even gives us the option to share to a user name if it won't always work.
