Issue with XML report printing on R12 instance

Hi,
I'm facing issue with printing xml reports on R12 instance and followed the note (How To Print XML Publisher PDF Reports Via The Concurrent Manager:metalink id:338990.1) and configured the pasta printer,still printer output is showing the junk charcters.
Please let me know how to resolve the issue?.

Hi Hussien,
We are on 12.1.1 / 11g with AL32UTF8 character set, we have custom reports developed in BI publisher and some some migrated reported from earlier version.
Both BI publisher based custom like PO/Invoice/Cheque Print & seeded reports like "Active users/responsibilites" are being generated successfuly in pdf output. when copied to desktop and printed it prints properly. But when trying to direct output to printer from concurrent request it is printng junk.
I checked pasta configuration, all required ghostscripts tools are on the AIX box, am I missing anything in R12?
Regards

Performance Issue with VL06O report

Hi,
We are having performance issue with VL06O report, when run with forwarding agent. It is taking about an hour with forwarding agent. The issue is with VBPA table and we found one OSS note, but it is for old versions. ours is ECC 5.0. Can anybody know the solution? If you guys need more information, please ask me.
Thanks,
Surya

Sreedhar,
Thanks for you quick response. Indexes were not created for VBPA table. basis people tested by creating indexes and gave a report that it is taking more time with indexes than regular query optimizer. this is happening in the funtion forward_ag_selection.
select vbeln lifnr from vbpa
     appending corresponding fields of table lt_select
     where     vbeln in ct_vbeln
     and     posnr eq posnr_initial
     and     parvw eq 'SP'
     and     lifnr in it_spdnr.
I don't see any issue with this query. I give more info later

Variable input values issue with Portal reports in WAD

Hi Gurus,
We have issue with our reports which are created in WAD and when executed through CRM portal. We are executing the report with some selection criteria by changing default values, and once we get the out put we use SAVEAS option to save the report to favourites. But the issue arises when we open the reprot again by clicking OPEN tab next to SAVEAS button. It opens our report, but the selection screen vaues are getting changed to default instead of showing the values which we entered before saving the report.
ex: we have fiscalyear/period: default value is 001.2009 - 010.2009, but i changed the value to 001.2010 - 010.2010 and saved the out put of the report. when i reopen the report useing open option, it is showing 001.2009 - 010.2009 in input screen.
Please let me know if some one has come accross this issue, or is it standard SAP behaviour. It is working fine when executed through Query designer. This is not related to personlization of variabl.es.
Regards,
Yada

Hi Hari,
Thanks for your promp response...but is there any settings to get the variable values with out saving as variant, because its working fine when executing through query designer....

Issues with BEx Reports in SAP Enterprise Portal

Hello Experts,
I am facing issues with BEx reports integrated in portal. Below are more details:
Scenario 1:
Execute a BEx report in the portal, save it in 'My Portfolio' using 'Save As' button. Now open the saved report from 'My Portfolio'. Below is the issue for this scenario:
When I open the saved report, I get 2 error messages and 1 info message at the top of the report. They are as follows:
The metadata of 'ITE' 'TEMPLATE_PARAMETERS' are incorrect for parameter 'COMMAND_PROCESSING'
The metadata of 'ITE' 'FILTER_PANE_ITEM' are incorrect for parameter 'TEXT_WRAPPING'
Variables for characteristic Fiscal year/period[0FISCPER] cannot be processed
Scenario 2:
Execute a BEx report in the portal, save it in 'BEx Portfolio' or 'Favourites' using 'Save As' button. Now open the saved report and click on 'Send' button. As expected, the BEx broadcaster wizard should appear but, it shows '400 BAD HTTP REQUEST'. While if I open the report (not the saved one) and click on 'Send' button, it works.
Helpful pointers appreciated.
Thanks
Vikash

HI Suman,
I am not adding the report to favourite using browser favourite. Below is the flow:
Run the report in portal.
There is a 'Save As' button at the top of the report. When I click that button, I get a pop-up with 3 tabs for saving the report.:
Favourite
BEx Portfolio
My Portfolio
save the report in the favorites or BEx portfolio tab and then open it and press 'Send' button
BEx Broadcaster Wizard should appear but instead of that, it shows '400 BAD HTTP REQUEST'.
If I press send for unsaved report, then BEx broadcaster Wizard is shown.
Thanks,
Vikash

User issue with a report supply planning area today monthly

this is a support issue....the user has an issue with a report supply planning area today monthly. The user is getting wrong values in BW, it sums PLOs and POs under production (config). for eg: BW says we are producing 46T while in R/3 we have 4T.

The issue was related to the heap size being too much and as a result the Class block memory was not getting enough memory. I think we can make a use of -XXCompressedRefs:32 parameter in the Java start up to allow the heap size to increase till 32 Gb.

10g Reports issue with XML Data Source

Hi,
Has anybody ever encountered an issue with Oracle 10g report using an XML as the data source? What happens is, some of the values in the XML are printed to the wrong column.
One of the elements in our XML file is a complex type with 10 elements under it. The first 5 are picked up properly, but the last 6 are not. Elements #6 to #9 has a minimum occurence of 0. What happens is when element #6 is present, but #7 is, the value for element #7 is passed on to element #6.
The XSD and XSL files are both valid since the reports were working when we were still using 9i. There is no hidden logic in the report which might cause this issue to come up, i.e., the report just picks up the values from the XML and prints it to the appropriate columns.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Bind Variables with AND in String causing Issues in XML & Report Outputs

Hi all,
I'm creating a BI Publisher report (10.1.3.2) and am experiencing an issue with the interprutation of Bind Variables in the Data Template.
Here is an example of some of the Data template
<dataTemplate name="BudgetDataBU" description="BudgetDataBU" dataSourceRef="DLXN">
   <parameters>
      <parameter name="p_Year" dataType="Integer" include_in_output="true"/>
      <parameter name="p_Measure" dataType="character" include_in_output="true"/>
      <parameter name="p_Currency" dataType="character" include_in_output="true"/>
      <parameter name="p_Version" dataType="character" include_in_output="true"/>
   </parameters>
   <dataQuery>
      <sqlStatement name="BusUnits">
           <![CDATA[SELECT DISTINCT CC.BUSINESS_UNIT as BUSINESS_UNIT
                    FROM   DLXN_FACT_DATA_DET FD,
                           DLXN.COST_CENTRE CC
                    WHERE FD.COST_CENTRE = CC.COST_CENTRE
                    AND FD.CAL_YEAR    = :p_Year
                    AND FD.Currency      = :p_Currency
                    AND FD.Measure      = :p_Measure
                    AND FD.Version        = :p_Version
                    AND CC.DLXN_VIEW = 'Delexian' ]]>
           </sqlStatement>
       <sqlStatement name="Details">
           <![CDATA[SELECT DLXN_FACT_DATA_DET.VERSION,
                           DLXN_FACT_DATA_DET.CURRENCY,
                           DLXN_FACT_DATA_DET.CAL_YEAR as CAL_YEAR,
                           SUM(nvl(DLXN_FACT_DATA_DET.JAN_AMT,0)) as JAN_AMT,
        </sqlStatement>
    </dataQuery>The problem is with the :p_Measure Bind Variable but it could just as easily be any of the other character parameters.
The particular string value that is causing a problem is "Travel and Expenditure". I believe it is due to the "AND" in the string but this string value cannot be changed in the database to say "Travel & Expenditure".
I have thought about using a REPLACE function in the SELECT statement but see this as an ugly solution.
Any input greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Gary.

We remove this restriction ,fix included in BI Publisher July 2009 update for 10.1.3.4.x. The patch number is 8704846.

The issue is fixed.
Our XML Publisher TMP is not defined, so it uses the APPLTMP used by concurrent manager. There is a folder xdofonts/<SID> in $APPLTMP. It contains the fonts used by XML publisher and on the of font file (.ttf) was 0 byte. We copied the ttf file from QA. And it started working.
Best practice is to define diffent TMP for concurrent managers and XML Publisher.

BW hierarchies issue with BOBJ Reporting tools

Hi All,
Brief about the requirement:
Our client was using Mainframe and other tools for their reporting. Now as they have planned to go for SAP, purchased SAP BW 7 and SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 for warehouse and reporting purposes.
Initial Road map planned for implementation was
o     to use Crystal for operational and formatted reporting
o     to use WebI for Ad hoc and interactive reporting
o     to use Xcelsius for Dashboards
Once we started analysing the requirements, we observed that client requires hierarchies extensively for reporting and they donu2019t want to compromise in that for reporting. At this situation we have explored the options and came to know from the SAP sites that BO got limitations in case of BW hierarchies. But we not able to articulate the what is the exact issue. Is it with only WebI or Crystal also?
What we have articulated is we cannot report the hierarchies in BO in terms of nodes - > Sub nodes -> sub nodes instead we can do as fixed columns. Please add me if i am missing anything else.
And also please let us know options. Options that we were thinking are Implement with BO XI 3.1 considering Advanced analysis tool then upgrade to BO XI 4.1.
Please suggest us, what is the BW & BO hierarchy issue and right tools to use.
Thanks & Regards,
Bala

Our client uses XI 3.2 but is experiencing issues with Hierarchical BEX queries returning blanks - the mdx is fine - just webi that seems to have a problem and I'm also trying to determine in exactly which instances this occurs.
XI 4.x supposedly resolves mots issues but here again details are not known.
I.e. hopefully someone can point to an info source that describes in more detail what issues are likely to occur re hierarchies and webi.

Issue with SLA reports of Exchange 2010 MP in SCOM 2007 R2 !!

Hi,
I have issues with Exchange 2010 MP SLA reporting. Whenever report is run it fails on some or the other dataset(Outage**,SLAbyDAte etc.) When I digged in, I found that it is connecting to DW Exchange 2010 Availability tables + Planned maintainance +
outage table. The tables were not available in the DW, not sure how it got removed. Initially I tried by uninstalling and installing MP(Exchange 2010 & Exchange 2010 reports both) if relevant tables get created automatically but it did
not help and I was still facing the same issue. Then I tried to create the tables manually and check if it could resolve the issue. There was unique ID associated(different in different computer) with the name of most of the tables. I tool it from Exchange
report data source which exists in reporting server. But I could see that table remain empty with no records there and SLA report start giving different issues stating table instances do not exist.
Could anyone help me to restore the SLA report of Exchange 2010 MP ? How should I ensure that data start populating the tables ? I am also helpless here because we do not have correct DW dump to restore back to earlier when it was working fine.

Hi,
Based on my research, to correctly install the Correlation Engine, consider the following when you install the Exchange 2010 Monitoring Management Pack:
Determine which server will host the Correlation Engine. While not strictly required, it's strongly recommended that the Correlation Engine be installed on the Root Management Server computer.
Make sure that you download and install the Exchange 2010 Management Pack that matches the operating system for the selected server. You can install the 32-bit or 64-bit version.
Make sure that you run the Microsoft Installer (.msi) package on the server where you want the Exchange 2010 Management Pack and the Correlation Engine to be installed.
After the installation is complete, the Correlation Engine service will have been installed on the server, and the Management Pack files will have been copied to the
System Center Management Packs folder. By default, the installation directory is C:\Program Files\System Center Management Pack.

Hello everyone,
I am working on a report and I am having some issues with ALV grid. Currently in our DEV and QA environments the user can run the report, view the ALV grid, and print the grid without any issues.
However this isn't the case in the Prod environment. The user is able to run the report and view the grid without any issues. But when they click print preview or click print, the spool is incorrect. It shows the proper values from the grid, but the first field is reduced in length. Rather than showing a numeric field of length 10 it shows 99999999# or 99999999...
The programs are identical through every environment, including user parameters, formats, and spool settings. I have been told printing grids may have some issues, does anyone have any advice or dealt with this issue before?
I appreciate the help.
Thanks,
C

I was waiting to hear from the functional team on the matter and no one has mentioned any more issues. I am assuming the problem is solved. I just noticed the thread was still un-answered and wanted to give an update.
Thank you for you help Vijay.

Issue with XML encoding

Hi,
I am querying an SAP instance for data, and I am getting back the data in an XML document...to which I need apply XSL transformation.
The instance is an German one... so I am getting a few strange characters because of which, the parser is uanble to apply the transformation.
I wrote a small java program to get more info on this particular character causing the problem, it turns out to be an ISOControl character. The properties (got by using the Character class API) are as below.
1. Character 1:
The getDirectionality is:0
The getNumericValue is:21
The getType is:2
The isDefined is:true
The isISOControl is:false
The isMirrored is:false
The isSpaceChar is:false
The isUnicodeIdentifierPart is:true
The isUnicodeIdentifierStart is:true
The isWhitespace is:false
2. character 2:
The getDirectionality is:9
The getNumericValue is:-1
The getType is:15
The isDefined is:true
The isISOControl is:true
The isMirrored is:false
The isSpaceChar is:false
The isUnicodeIdentifierPart is:true
The isUnicodeIdentifierStart is:false
The isWhitespace is:false
These characters appear to be white space in normal text editors...
This is how I am applying the transformation
TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer =
tFactory.newTransformer(
new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource
(XSLURI)
StringReader sr = new StringReader(xmlToApply);
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
transformer.transform(
new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource(sr),
new javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult(sw)
return sw.toString();
I have tried to use "UTF-8", "ISO-8859-1" and other encodings, but in vain. Appreciate any pointers on this...

Also the postings are from 2 different perspectives... this is to address the issue that I am facing with XML parsing and how to eliminate that using XML apis...
My other posting about a possible work around (encoding) for the problem creating string...

Issue with XML output

Hi All,
We have a XML report output which is sent to users email as a word and pdf attachment. I see that the word attachment which is being sent to the user has RTF extension. I tried to modify the file extension to docx and test it to see if that works. The email comes up with the docx extension but when I try to open the attachment it asks for encoding and no matter which encoding I choose the o/p doesn't display properly.
Does anyone have an idea of how to overcome this issue so that I might be able to send the user the word o/p with docx or doc extension instead of RTF.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi,
Might be worth logging a SR on this.
