Logserver output and report generation

Hi All,
I am trying to view the daily reports in merchandising workbench.
Following are the steps which I followed:
- Checked the checkboxe for daily reports in Merchandising workbench -> Application Settings -> Report generation
- Copying the logserver output files from ./logs/logserver_output to ./reports/input.
- Running DailyReportGenerator component from Merchandising workbench -> EAC Administration -> Admin Console
After these steps, I am able to view the reports.
But my question is that do we have to copy the logserver output files to input folder of reports everytime or does this automatically copy when DailyReportGenerator runs?
Also when does DailyReportGenerator runs? Does it run after every baseline we run or does it run once in a day automatically or do we have to run this manually from EAC admin console.
Can somebody provide a clear insight of the whole process of integrating log server files with report generation?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Japneet

Hi Saleh/Micheal/Sunil,
I am getting the following error when the DailyReports runs automatically:

So I checked bin folder, wget utility was missing.
But when I ran DailyScripts manually, it ran successfully. I am bit confused in the working of script.(In this case also, wget was missing)

Error 10 when building an application in LV8 and Report generation toolkit 1.1.1

I am trying to build an application using LV8.0.1 and Report generation toolkit 1.1.1 and i get this error.
Error 10 occurred at ABAPI Dist Copy Non-VI Files.vi -> ABAPI Dist Build LLB Image.vi -> ABAPI Copy Files and Apply Settings.vi -> EBEP_Invoke_Build_Engine.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi -> EBUIP_Build_Invoke.vi.ProxyCaller
Any ideas?
Scientia est potentia!

Did you attempt to add the _wordsub.llb and _excelsub.llb files to the application as support files? I believe in LabVIEW 8.0 instead of adding the entire LLBs you should just add the _Word Dynamic VIs.vi and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi as dynamic VIs. I think I've seen a similar post on the discussion forums in the past that recommended this.
If this suggestion doesn't help, please reply, and attach a simple VI and .lvproj file demonstrating the problem so I can investigate further.
Good luck,

File Dialog and Report Generation Toolkit

Hi,
I designed a VI for an electrometer calibration and it works quite well The only problem I have is the following:
I used the Report Generation Toolkit to put the measurement data in an Excel file. When I run the VI I'd like a window to pop up to define the location and name of the Excel report file. If these two things are done LabVIEW should create the specified Excel file and run the rest of the code.
So i tried this with the "File Dialog" Vi and all the needed low-level File I/O VIs and it worked.
But when i connect the "File Dialog" VI with the "New Report" VI of the Report Generation Toolkit I get an error message.
Is there any solution to get this file dialog pop up window with the Report Generation VIs?
thx for any help...!

Exe build with database conn and report generation vi's?

I tried to build an .exe and learned the hard way that there are many things needed to be included for this to work. As is now my program is not working.
I wanted to get a list of necessary steps to make a successful build. Please correct me if I am wrong or missing anything:
1. For the report generation toolkit I must include a few support files (_exclsub.llb and _wordsub.llb)
2. For the database connectivity: I must follow NI's User guide by implementing the toolset build script function? Is there an easier way?
If there are any simpler ways to get this working please let me know.
Dev machine=vista LV2010 office 2007
Target machine=XP office 2007
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the response,
Yes I have the runtime installed. I also got the program working correctly by doing the following:
LV 8.6 and greater-->
1. added two folders to the project from the project explorer menu.
      a. Utilities folder
      b. LVClass folder
2. during the .exe build I had to:
      a. add LVClass folder to always include in source file settings
      b. browse in the Utilities folder to NIReportLLB folder and add that to always include as mentioned above (note: if you add the whole utilities folder you will get a broken vi error when building it, even if you fix the vi it still didn't work properly for me so I just included the folder I needed for word/excel)
took about a day to troubleshoot and fix but the program is working as expected. Hope this helps someone else in the future.

Flash to iPhone and Report Generation

Is it possible for an iPhone app created through Adobe Flash Professional to save an image to the Photo application?
Is it possible also to send an email with an attachment?

KRAZE4LV wrote:Each files I reduce twice using each excel file
Instead of running the VI twice, why not change your decimation factor to 100 (instead of 10)?
I don't know what your reports are supposed to look like, so it's kind of hard to tell you what to do with the report generation toolkit VIs. All I can tell from your description is you need to create a report of Word type. I'm guessing from there you would want the Append Table To Report.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Xml parsing and report generation probs

Hello everyone,
I am facing with a peculiar problem.
I have an xml which contains special characters like �( cent) . So I parse it before i send it to the DOM parser. BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputFileName,"ISO-8859-1"));
and i have a function which replaces the cent with #xA2; .After i replace the special chars , i pass it to the parse method and i have some classes which update the database.the whole process works fine.
Now I have a report generation where i generate an HTML passing the string after the values are updated in the DB . So when i pass the string , and replace #xA2 with cent symbol, it is being interrupted as '?' in the windows and unix environment
This is something to do with the encoding.But my encoding is ISO-8859-1 as mentioned
Can you please help me out with this prob
Regards
KV

I have some sympathy with you because I had problems with the cent sign in the XML world too. But not much... you have XML parsing going on, you're writing to a database, you're generating HTML, you have a manual hack for the cent sign. One or more of these things is causing you a problem. Do not try to test them all at once, like you are doing. Test only one thing at a time.

Problems with LabView 7.1.1 and Report Generation

I have just upgraded from LabView 7.1 to 7.1.1. As per the release notes, I did a mass compile of the vi.lib/addons/_office folder (which contains the Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office v1.1) but I get a lot of error messages complaining about "Bad VI". These VIs are no longer available after this operation. If I don't compile them (ie leave them in 7.1 format) then LabView complains that some subVIs are not executable.
Are LabView 7.1.1 and the Office toolkit 1.1 compatible? How do I get them to work together?
Simon

Maybe you have figured this out by now.... But after reinstalling/upgrading LV you must reinstall your Report Generation Toolkit.
If you care for the why.... There are a few files that both the Report Geneartion Toolkit and LV install, only the the Report Generation Toolkit installs a more beefed up version of the files. When you upgraded LV, LV copied a new version of these files (a version that doesn't have the Report Gen support in it) over the Report Generation version. So you have to run the toolkit installer to get the toolkit version back.

Output and Reports

Hi Gurus,
In SAP, what is the difference between Outputs or Print Layouts and Reports?
In Financial Accounting, What all can be the Outputs or Print Layouts?
Please revert
Thank You

Layouts are developed with the help of SAPScripts or smartforms. While reports can be developed using normal ABAP Programming.
As said in the previous reply, the layouts have a set of windows (or say structure) for placement of address, body of the content , line items etc. E.g. As pointed in dunning, the address occupies top right position, body of the message in the main part, followed by line item details. These structural way of representing the information are termed as 'Forms'.
While reporting is a normal representation of information in tabular or tree view form (E.g ALV forms).
In financial Accounting,
Dunning - Layout
Vendor display , customer display, G\L display - ALV reports - these are iterative i.e on dbl clicking the line item, it leads to subsequent report.

Sri

LabVIEW 8.6 and report generation toolkit

I was wanting to upgrade to 8.6 but noticed that my rep gen toolkit(1.1.1) is not compatible.
Will NI be offering a free upgrade? or do I have to go to management and ask to purchase rep gen toolkit 1.1.3 for 500 US dollars? Purchasing the same toolkit every few years when you have an SSP for a full development system is getting kind of old.
Brian

Unfortunately there is some delay in us Aussies getting the original DVDs sent to us, so at this stage my NI rep has burned me a copy of the main LabVIEW install but I can't find the Report Toolkit on it.
I am an SSP customer but when I go to the Services Resource Centre I get this message:

Data selection and report generation

Hi,
I want to create a report with information about friends. I have a class like this:
public class friend(){
Date born;
Vector phones;
String name;
I have a collection of friends and I want generate a report with some of them. I want to select those friends that verify some restrictions like this:
- Friends with a born date in a range (ej: from 1960 to 1965)
- Friends with the same work phone
- etc.
My solutions is anything like this:
class FriendFilter(){
Friend from_friend;
Friend to_friend;
boolean filter_born=false; // To say if may be aplicated the filter
boolean filter_phone=false;
My question is if there are any pattern for this. Is this solution the best one?
Thank you in advance.

The filter class might look a little different. You need to pass the collection of Friend objects to the filter class. And then you can have the query methods that filter the Friend objects.
public class FriendFilter {
private Collection friends;
FriendFilter(Collection f) {
this.friends = f;
public Collection sortByBirthYear(int beginYear, int endYear) {
public Collection sortByPhoneNumber(int phoneNum) {
}

Ecxel and Report Generation for Microsoft Office

Hi,
I'm trying to do move measurement data to a predefined Excel template. I
need to put data into same template from different measurements into
different places of the template. If the template (and Ecxel) is closed
accidentally outside LabView 7.0 it creates troubles. (Next time Excel do
not open correctly etc.) Is there any way to detect when Ecxel is closed
outside LV. Any other good ideas to prevent Excel to crash or other
solutions.
Thanks in advance EJ

Unless you must have Excel visible for some reason, the best approach is to make Excel invisible when you open the application. Feed the Excel application object into a property node and set property "visible" to false. Then the only way for a user to close Excel is to end the process in the Windows Task Manager.

This message is all what I get and no executable is created.
The file already exists in the destination.

Report Generation Toolkit and Office 10 - build errors

Using LabView 2011 and Report Generation Toolkit 2011.
After installing Office 10, I would get build error for Excel-Print.Vi and Excel-SetCell.vi and build is then aborted.
2011/vi.lib/addons/_office/_excelsub.llb/Excel-Print.vi.
Says it is unable to save a vi without a block diagram.
Uninstalled Office 10 and reinstalled Office 2003 and build went thru just fine.
I can program using Excel 2003 and the compiled executable will work on another computer with Excel 2011 but once I install Office 10 on my LabVIEW computer I cannot build.
Can't believe I could be the only one to experience this. Any workarounds?

Report generation and office versions

I have developed an application which uses the excell report generation features. I have Office 2007 on my pc with LV 8.51 and report generation addon 1.1.2. I wand to distribute (build) the application to users with office 2000. What steps need to be done. Do I need 2 different builds, will one build work? How do I specify which version of the office gets linked, is this dynamic?

Hi Paul.
Thanks for the reply.
When building applications with Report Generation Toolkit VIs, you must complete the following additional steps:
• From the Source Files tab of the Build Application or Shared Library (DLL) dialog box, click the Add Dynamic VI button to
add the following two VIs to the application:
– _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi in vi.lib\addons\_office\_exclsub.llb
– _Word Dynamic VIs.vi in vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb
Note, you'll need to add the VI's for both versions. You may need to re-name the vi.lib, because they'll have the same name (i think) but the references etc for different office versions do change and hence we you need to call different vi's.
• If the application you are building contains the MS Office Report Express VI, you must add any Word or Excel templates that you use to the built application. From the Source Files tab, click the Add Support File button to add the template files to the application. By default, the custom destination for the templates is the same as the path that appears in the Destination directory field on the Target tab with a data subdirectory appended. Do not change the custom destination for the files you add.
For example, if you are using the basic Excel template with the MS Office Report Express VI, add MSOffice_RGT_Template.xlt to the application. The basic template files are located in the
templates\Report directory.
Hope this explains it a little better,
Kind Regards

How do I read a word file with Report Generation and Labview?

Hello All:
I have Labview 2010.
How do I Read a Microsoft Word File1.doc with Labview and Report Generation Kit?
File1.doc is a simple file with a few lines and a Table.
thank you very much.
\\diego2000

I don't think that toolkit will help you. Remember, it's the Report GENERATION Toolkit. It's designed to create reports not read existing DOCs.
You can use the standard file VIs to read a Word Doc but you'll have to strip out the formatting information to get at the raw text.
There may be some other tools or ActiveX techniques that will help. Hopefully someone more knowledgable on that subject will chime in to help you out...
