Help with Report Variables

I have been doing battle with the SBO Customer Receivables Aging Report. I am trying to add the fields "Customer Reference" and "Creation Date" to the Repetitive area of the report with no success. All of the existing fields are variables, and the on-line help says to contact SAP support (which would be me) for help with changing variables. Does anyne have a list of these variables, or know how to define them?
Many thanks,
Mike.

Hi Mike Stroud, i'm actualy also working on the customer ageing report. You also responded to my post. It was the reports one. Well, im not sure about the variables but i simply wrote a query that brings all that info and more up. But i'm having problems diplsying it. In the normal SAP report/print layout, if i make the report based on the query it doesn't let me move the info from the repetitive area to the header....why.....can you get around this??? I then did it in the advanced layout but the first page is always wrong. What do you want to do with the variables?? what are you trying to achieve with the report because me and my coleagues have had a BIG problem with the ageing.

The first series element has 4 children
I am able to get the number of data elements as:
"resultObj.reporting.series[0].data.length"
How do I effectively retreive:
"resultObj.reporting.series[0].childNodes().length"
Apparently this does'nt work, I also tried Nodes, children().
Any documentation or help with this would be awesome

Help with bind variables

Hello I'm new to .net and I'm trying to work with bind variables
I keep getting the ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number error.

Need help with accesing variable with xpath.

Hi All,
I need help with xpath in "Switch" BPEL construct. Switch is used to compare value assigned to output vairable and follow one path for "Deny" and another for "Approve". The following is data type for output variable.
<element name="processResponse">
     <complexType>
          <sequence>
               <element name="result" type="string"/>
          <sequence>
     <complexType>
</element>
The following expressions in Switch statement throw lava.lang.Exception. It error is xpath internal error".
x20:compare('Deny',$outputvariable.payload/client:result)
x20:compare('Deny',bpws:getVariableData('outputvariable','payload','/client:processResponse/client:result')
It works with x20:compare('Deny','Deny'). So I assumed it must be accessing the variable.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Satish

Cany you try the following
x20:compare('Deny',string($outputvariable.payload/client:result))
x20:compare('Deny',string(bpws:getVariableData('outputvariable','payload','/client:processResponse/client:result'))

if(success) {
getfile_txt.text = this.strString;
} else {
getfile_txt.text = "error";

the problem is that the output says "undefined", but when I
access the .asp page through my web browser I get the expected
result of the variable which is "Test1.Doc"
if any1 can help with this, i would be massivley thankful,
thanks.

p.s strString is the variable that I am trying to pass from

Need help with maintaining variable choices in new session

I have a flash app. set up with several variables. Is there a
simple action script that will allow the user to maintain their
choices after closing the .swf and re-launching it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

how are you checking if those components have been checked or
ticked. actually, i probably don't want to know that.
you really should be using a listener to detect when your
components have changed and then you can use the changed method to
set your variables and update your sharedobject.

A little bit of help with Bind variables please

Hi,
I am having a bit of trouble with bind variables I have been looking at the Dev guide and the forum to try and achieve this and it is still not happening for me, could anybody please help or point me in the right direction:
I have created a simple PersonVO with the basic query:
Select distinct full_name from xxml_people where person_id = :1
In the PersonVOImpl.java I have added the method:
public void initQuery(String personId)
Number person = null;
try
person = new Number(personId);
catch
(Exception e){}
setWhereClauseParam(1,person);
executeQuery();
Then in the PersonAM I have added the method:
public void initPersonQuery(String personId)
getPersonVO1().initQuery(personId);
I then call this method in my processRequest section of my page controller:
PersonAMImpl am = (PersonAMImpl) pageContext.getRootApplicationModule();
String personId = "581";
am.initPersonQuery(personId);
When I try and run this I get the error:
oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: oracle.jbo.SQLStmtException: JBO-27122: SQL error during statement preparation. Statement: SELECT distinct full_name from xxml_absence_calendar where person_id = :1
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01006: bind variable does not exist
Am I binding the variables correctly? Or am I making some stupid mistake?
I am ultimately looking to create a messageChoice where the logged in user will see a list of all organisations underneath him and the one level above. I plan to do this by passing the User’s Organisation name into a VO query using the organisation as a Bind Variable. I think once I have worked out how to bind variables this should be straight forward.
Many Thanks

Even though the parameter binding values may be same, you should never use the positional param more than once. So always go for the format
select distinct full_name from xxml_people where supervisor_id = :1
UNION
select distinct full_name from xxml_people where person_id = :2

Help with Report Script please :(

Hi,
I'm trying to write a report script with a slight calculation and would really appreciate some help.
Ideally I want to create a report where I only get the Account and Value. I select all my members but I need a calculation on the Entity dimension. Here's what i am trying to achieve:
(All selected members for all Entities + All selected members for all Entities in group RIA-IFRS REPORTING ADJS. ) Yes I'm duplicating the members of group RI-IFRS REPORTING ADJS.
So account 100 for all Entities = 50
account 100 for all Entities in RI-IFRS REPORTING ADJS. = 25
I want to display account 100 grouped as 75 without showing a line for each entity.
This is what I have so far but it doesn't work right:
ROWREPEAT
SUPCOLHEADING
SUPCOMMAS
SUPHEADING
SUPBRACKETS
SUPEMPTYROWS
TABDELIMIT
MISSINGTEXT "#mi"
DECIMAL 2
NOINDENTGEN
<PAGE ( Years, Version, Currency, Scenario, InterCompany, "Entity", "Cost Center","Set of Books","Reporting")
"FY10" "Current" "Currency" "Actual" "InterCompany" "Entity" "Cost Center" "AB_CON_USD" "Reporting"
<ROW ("Account")
<LINK(<DESCENDANTS("Total Balance Sheet Accounts","Lev0,Account"))
{ CALCULATE ROW "Entity" = "Entity" + "RI-IFRS REPORTING ADJS."})
<COL (Period)
"Dec"

Need help with a variable

I ahve a report that I want to show Free to Sell stock - stock that is in the warehouse that hasn't been allocated.
I have created a variable called Freestock which basically uses a Physical Stock quantity minus the allocated stock quantity.
It is currently just adding all the figures together, instead of splitting it by item, so this is wrong
Here's the formula I'm using ;
=Sum(<Warehouse Physical Quantity>-<Outstanding Allocated Quantity>)
Any help would be greatly appreciated in getting this sorted
Thanks in advance

George,
I am sure the formula is correct.
It is currently just adding all the figures together, instead of splitting it by item,
You need to pull this variable with the item object. it will automatically break the number by the Item.
Hope this helps.

Need help with Report Generation Toolkit: Excel Set Cell Format.vi

Hi people,
I've been searching and found this old thread of someone asking what is the input parameter "Number format". And I dont know what should I put in there. I've tried so many possibilities, but nothing works so far, such as:
0,0
0,?
0,#
#,0
?,0
and also with @, doesnt works. Where would I find help about this parameter?
I'm using Excel2003, german version, thus local decimal separator is a comma.
I also found this help from NI, but seems doesnt help me either. Do I miss something important?
thanks,
Yan.

Hi,
I've used your suggestion and some numbers in excel doesnt need to get "right click, change to numbers" anymore (green indicators on the left-top side in some cells are gone). But, I think its still not a number, because I cant use a simple formula, such as in cell A10 I type "= A1/2" (cell A10 equals cell A1 divided with 2) . I got error which says its not a number.
Well, but other thing is found, any format-string I put in the input of Excel Set Cell Format.vi, such as #,########, will be shown the same as "customize #,########" if I right click in a cell in excel and click "Zellen formatieren" (formatting cell). But however, the numbers are still depends on the input of the format I put in the Append Table to Report.vi.
regards,
Yan.

OBIEE 11G help with report narrative and table view

Hi,
I have a report designed like the below, I have used "narrative view" for customer detail and "table view" for order detail. In the narrative view I can say row = 1 and it picks up the first record of the customer detail, but order detail shows all rows. How can I control it so the order detail shows only the detail record of the customer associated. Also how do I go to the second record and so forth. Please help. If this is not possible and if there are any alternates, please let me know. Thanks for your time and help.
Customer Number:
Customer Name:
Customer Address:
Order Detail:
Line number | Order No | Order description | Order Status

Customer Number:
Customer Name:
Customer Address:
Order Detail:
Line number | Order No | Order description | Order StatusWhy don't you do this?
1) Build a dashboard prompt for Customer Number. and save to a PV.
2) Build a report with all the columns for customer and order (in Criteria View) with a filter for the PV to capture the dashboard prompt.
3) Build a pivot table with Customer Number and Customer Name in the Rows section. Put the Customer Address in the Measures section and change the Aggregation Rule to Max.
This will serve as the summary table showing only the information of the customer selected.
2) Build Pivot Table:2 with the Order details.
3) In the Compound Layout, put Pivot table one on the top and Pivot Table:2 below it.
When a customer is selected, you will have the customer data with the order details under it for that customer only.

Need help with report

Hi Friend,
I'm quite new to Oracle BI. I have managed to create a request (from the answers section) that returns desired result, my problem is the formatting requirement of my report... the thing is i need to have three sections first of which is the header with such information as timestamp, company logo etc. the second section will contain the body of the report (which i have generated from query) and the last section will be footer.
How and where do i get the formatting power to achieve this? the dashboard seems to have very limited formatting power. Could you also point me a any documentation that could be helpful?
Many thanks in advance

Since no one mentioned it, I'll add this as well:
In the Compound Layout View, in the top left corner, there is a Print and PDF button. Click it and there are options to included a HEADER and FOOTER. You can add a timestamp for the report, date, page numbers, author, etc. See if these may help you as well.

hi to all experts,
i have a requirement of listing purchase orders created only on Sunday and Saturday,please help me out im struggling with is report from 2 days. any sample code will help

Hi,
Use as follows
Parameters : P_startdate type dats,
P_enddate type dats.
data: days_between type i.
ranges : r_days type dats.
days_between = p_startdate p_enddate.
do days_between times.
Call function module DATE_TO_DAY to see if the day is sat or sun.
Call function DATE_TO_DAY
Exporting
DATE = p_startdate
Importing
WEEKDAY = g_day.
*if the day is sat ir sun populate u'r ranges
<b>If g_day = Sat or g_day = Sunday.</b> Changed
R_days low = p_startdate.
R_days- high = .
R_days sign = I.
R_days option = EQ.
Append r_days.
Endif.
P_startdate = p_startdate + 1.
enddo.
Select * from vbak
into table lt_vbak
where erdat in r_days.
This works only in Enlgish logon
For better results I advise you to check the Function module DATE_TO_DAY and see the Text elements used for the Day texts.
And create in your program also similar text elements and compare using the text elements rather than hard coded stuff in one language.

Help with "owned" variables concept in WPF

I'm trying to move from WinForms to WPF and so far it's been going well. I'm struggling with the concept of updating variables from events in my code behind. It says that it was created or owned by another thread. Basically in my code all over the place I am
having to put:
this.Dispatcher.Invoke((Action)(() => { //Code Here }));
Generally this is happening from an async call to update some data.
Am I doing something fundamentally wrong in my design?
If this snippet of code is the solution, how do I understand without the runtime compiler telling me, when I should be doing it?
Can you explain what is happening with the Dispatcher.Invoke ((Action)(() =>{}));
My thinking so far
(Action) is casting the (() => {}) to an action object
() is creating a nameless function?
=> {} define the function right here, we could have pointed to a real function if we wanted.
Thanks for any education you can give me.

The thing is that you can only update a UI element on the thread on which it was created. This rule applies to both Windows Forms and WPF. Please refer to the following great article for more information about the threading model in WPF:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163328.aspx. You should only create UI elements (TextBoxes, Buttons, etc.) on the UI thread and not on any background thread.
>>Can you explain what is happening with the Dispatcher.Invoke ((Action)(() =>{}));
The delegate (Action) that you pass to the Invoke method will be executed on the UI (or dispatcher) thread. Please refer to the above article for more information.
>>If this snippet of code is the solution, how do I understand without the runtime compiler telling me, when I should be doing it?
The Dispatcher has a CheckAccess() method that returns false if you are required to call the Invoke method, i.e. if the current thread doesn't have access to the UI object. You could just call this one before you call the Invoke method:
if (!Dispatcher.CheckAccess())
Dispatcher.Invoke(new Action(() => { }));
Hope that helps.
Please remember to close your threads by marking helpful posts as answer and then start a new thread if you have a new question. Please don't post several questions in the same thread.
