Open BI Publisher report using URL View activity

Hi,
i need to call BI Publisher report and I want to use URL View activity (i followed instruction on http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/07/30/customizing-obi-ee-%e2%80%93-go-url-parameters/ but i can't have HTML Form inside af:form)
But parameters on URL View activity are visible and i have to send username and pass..
Is there another way?
Tnx.
Andreja

Yes, I can put HTML form at top or bottom of page but i wanted to put in panelCollection (because of page design)....
but I will think out something to look nicely too :)
Tnx

Run XML Publisher Report via URL (like Oracle Reports)

Hi All,
Is it possible to run xml-publisher report via URL?
In Oracle Reports works this fine:
http://test:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=test_bihome1&report=test1.rdf&userid=test/testv@db&desformat=pdf&destype=cache
We need this for public reports without user login.
Thanks
Thomas

Thomas,
I was waiting to get home before Tim replied... He got the better of me this time :-)
You say you want to let your users run reports using XMLP just by clicking on an URL same way you do with reports and without having to login. If I got the question right and assuming that:
1.Your company is not overly concerned on who runs what reports
2.Who sees what data
3.Your XMLP installation is on your intranet and firewalled from the outside
What you can do is:
On the main page of your XMLP Enterprise installation you should see a folder called "Guest". Any report you create under this folder is run as user "guest" which means you don't have to authenticate yourself as you would normally do.
I have tested this on my home server and this is what I've done:
1.Logged in as admin or any other user you've created with admin privileges created a report under the "Guest" folder.
2.Copied the URL, on my server it is "http://samba.private.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo"
4.Logged off as admin and pasted the URL to a new browser window
5.Hit return and Voila, my report runs without the need to login to XMLP.
Hope this helps. Let us know how you got on.
Cheers,
Joao
PS: If you want to see the report for yourself here's the URL from the outside: http://medeiros.homelinux.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo
I'll keep the link alive for a couple of days.

Getting error in using URL View in Task Flow

Hi,
Using Jdeveloper: 11.1.1.3.0
What I am trying to achieve is that an ADF application can be bookmarked, and when it is open without a valid EBS login context, it should redirect it to the EBS login screen. In method initMainPage , I have code that determines if valid session exist or not. If not, then redirect to a login screen (which I trying to implement using URL View component).
I am using a Bounded Task Flow. and the flow within is as follows:
methodCall1 -> initMainPage (AM method) -> URL View
For URL View, URL property is set to: #{MainPageContainerBean.ebsLogoutURL} . ebsLogoutURL is a String in MainPageContainerBean, with getter and setter as below.
public String getebsLogoutURL() {
return ebsLogoutURL;
// return "/oracle/apps/flm/ekanban/common/ui/page/ParameterEntry.jsff";
public void setebsLogoutURL(String ebsLogoutURL) {
this.ebsLogoutURL = ebsLogoutURL;
This task flow is part of a JSPX page. When I run the JSPX page, it give me the following error.
<Feb 2, 2011 1:30:37 PM PST> <Error> <HTTP> <BEA-101020> <[ServletContext@4396218[app:ekanban module:ekanban-UI-context-root path:/ekanban-UI-context-root spec-version:2.5]] Servlet failed with Exception
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Attempt to validate an already invalid RegionSite:
at oracle.adf.view.rich.component.fragment.UIXRegion$RegionSiteImpl.validate(UIXRegion.java:978)
Please suggest a resolution or workaround to the issue.
Thanks,
Anoop

Now it is working. I didnt know that I needed to create getter and setter for the string that i refer to in the EL. Thanks for your help.

Performance Issue with Crosstab Reports Using Disco Viewer 10.1.2.48.18

We're experiencing Performance Issue (retrieving 40000 rows) with Crosstab Reports Using Disco Viewer 10.1.2.48.18 ( > 01 Minute , executing "Building Page Axis" or executing a Refresh).
Are there parameters to tun (in pref.txt file) , in order to reduce "Building Page Axis" execution ?
Note : We've got the same performance problem , using Discoverer Desktop 10.1.2.48.18.
Thank's in advance for your Help.

Hi
Well if the same issue occurs in both Desktop and Viewer then you have your answer. It's not the way that Discoverer is running the workbook its the way the workbook has been constructed.
For a start, 40000 rows for a Crosstab is way over the top and WILL cause performance issues. This is because Discoverer has to create a bucket for every data point for every combination of items on the page, side and top axes. The more rows, page items and column headings that you have, the more buckets you have and therefore the longer it will take for Discoverer to work out the contents of every bucket.
Also, whenever you use page items or crosstabs, Discoverer has to retrieve all of the rows for the entire query, not just the first x rows as with a table. This is because it cannot possibly know how many buckets to create until it has all the rows.
You therefore to:
a) apply sufficient filters to reduce the amount of data being returned to something manageable
b) reduce the number of page items, if used
c) reduce the number of items on the side or top axis of a crosstab
d) reduce the number of complex calculations, especially calculations that would generate a new bucket
If you have a lot of complex calculations, you should consider the use of a materialized view / summary folder to pre-calculate the values.
Does this help?
Best wishes

Calling BI Publisher report using FND_SUBMIT.SUBMIT_REQUEST---

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement in which BI Publisher report will be called using a PL/SQL procedure.
i am successfully able to call BI publisher report using FND_SUBMIT.SUBMIT_REQUEST function.
Business requirement is that the BI publisher report can be generated in PDF,Excel or HTML format.
but i am able to generate the report only in xml format.
Please guide me how to achieve this.
Thanks in Advance,
Cheers
Andy.

Make sure you register the Data Definition (with same code as concurrent program short name) and register/upload the Template correctly.
Call fnd_request.add_layout
Then call FND_SUBMIT.SUBMIT_REQUEST

Gareth

Open BI Publisher Report After Submit

I have a page with 2 date fields, which are parameters for a report.
I also have a button called RUN_REPORT.
What I need to do is that the user puts the parameters in, then clicks RUN_REPORT. The page should submit (putting parameters into session state) and then a BI Publisher report should appear in a pop up page.
At the moment using the code below, the user inputs parameters and clicks RUN-REPORT (SUBMIT). Unfortunatley the BI report tries to open before the submit is finished. So there are no items in session state for the report to use as parameters.
Page HTML Header
<script type="text/javascript">
function renew()
doSubmit('SUBMIT')
popupURL('This contains my string to open the report')
</script>On my button
javascript:renew();Help appreciated
Gus

I've solved this in two ways:
First solution:
- The last parameter the user has to pick is in a selectlist which submits the page
- The button redirects to url:
javascript:popUpNamed('URL','');Seccond solution (and user-friendlier solution ;) ):
1 - Hidden item (say P_RAP), default it's empty
2 - The buttons Action is 'Submit page'
3 - A conditional Branche to the own page, which only runs when the report button is pressed.
3a -- This branche sets the hidden Item (P_RAP) with the report name (in my case, becouse I can start multiple reports on the page and I use it in my URL to the report, it can also be just a 1 or something, just that it is filled)
4 - A Page Process which runs On Load - After Header, and is conditional: Value of Item P_RAP is NOT NULL.
4a -- The code of this process is:
BEGIN
htp.p('<script type="text/javascript">');
htp.p('w = open("URL_to_the_report","_blank","Scrollbars=0,location=0,resizable=1,menubar=0,toolbar=0,left=50,top=100,width=500,height=500");');
htp.p('</script>');
:P_RAP:=''; /*clear the P_RAP item after starting the report*/
END;Hope this helps

How to open a jasper report (html URL)

Hello,
currently we are testing the jasper report engine. We are already able to open such a report from forms by a forms personalization.
Now we want to run a concurrent report where the output should be a link to a jasper report.
For example:
I start the request "open jasper report" with parameter "001". After successful finishing the request should give me a link like "http://jasper/myreport&parameter=001" which will be opened in a new browser tab.
Well, is it possible to open a URL by using a concurrent request?

Josef

Can i open a existing report using a report generation toolkit

Hello All,
Suppose I create a new excel report today and close the program, Tomorrow I open the same program and instead of creating a new excel file, i need to update the test results data into the excel file which was created yesterday, is this possible.
I am confused because there is no option called Open report in report generation toolkit, it just has create new report option.
Probably NI Guys can work on this...sorry if it is a;lready existing?
Is there any method to open a existing report?
Pls help.....
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
I have a similar problem. I'd like to use Report Generation Toolkit to enter data into some cells in the active worksheet of the active workbook but it seems impossible?! The user has in beforehand opened the desireed workbook and activated the desired worksheet. I use the 'New Report' VI with the template input set as the path of the active workbook (some self-made ActiveX calls to get the path). When this VI is run, howevere, the excel file is sort of re-opened and another worksheet becomes the active one.
I tried to make a customized copy of New Report.vi, New Report subVI.vi and Excel_Open_Workbook.vi so that the Report object works with the currently active workbook and worksheet, but I failed due to my lack of knowledge in LV classes and such things. It would've been an ugly solution anyway to have custom low-level VIs that does not follow when the RepGen Toolkit develops in the future.
Best regards,
Andreas Nilsson

Show prompts before opening a new report using action links

Hi,
I have a report that's grouped on a particular GROUP_ID and the current month. On clicking the GROUP_ID on the report, I need to open a new report that displays data for that month but on date level. Since we have a lot of data at date level (>100,000), I wanted a drop down on the top of the report that has all dates in that month and clicking on a particular date, the data in the pivot table is fetched.
I tried using the pivot table prompt but that seems to fetch all the data first and then creates a drop down prompt. Is there a way where we could fire the query only on choosing a particular date.
Is there any other way we could do this?
Regards.

You're saying to add a dashboard prompt for Month and Date? When opening reports using Action links, I am not able to see the prompts.
I am using Go URLs in Action links and that data for a month is >100,000. So, I want to show the data for the month and the first date of that month.
I really don't know whether such thing is possible or not. I just want to restrict the data to the first day of the month. Rest of the data is queried when user selects a different date from the drop down.

BIP report using HTML view in dashboard printing without scrollbars, parts

Have created BI Publisher report in the MS Word using Landscape page settings.The report is printing without scrollbars in the OBIEE Dashboard using HTML view.
Could not see the whole page output...have tried using resolution property settings in the dashboard configuration...havent found any solution.
Have tried to use MHTML but the logos are missing.
Any quick solution for the above will be very helpful.
Thanks
Baddam

Hi Venkat,
Thanks for your quick respond.
1.) Auto Run is enabled. And the report runs automatically as well. But then it ignores the dashboard prompt (as a regular report would do as well). But when I choose some values in the prompt and then press go. Then it says I have to press on view as well.
2.) no that is not the case. My report is so big that it always need a scroll bar ;) also adjusting the size settings in the dashboard doesn't help. The only occurs when viewing in HTML, when previewing in excel or RTF it all just work fine.
3.) true, but ow well this is the least importetant one ;) so if this doesn't work, than it doesn't work ;)
4.) Ok, I will have a look on that.
5.) I did enabled HTML and EXCEL outputs in my BIP report. But when the first point is working, then I don't want to see the control bar anymore and I want to have the output on the dashboard in HTML and then I want to build a button, or a link or something that exports the request to excel. Is that possible?

Call report using URL incl. parameter

Hello,
i´m the CRM-expert in our company and i have not much experience with BW.
We have in BW a report which shows information for one customer. The customer number is the selection criteria.
Now i have the idea to open this BW-report from CRM 7.0 webclient UI - customer overview.
It´s possible for me to open a URL from CRM Webclient UI. But i have no idea if BW allows to use parameters (customer-id) within the URL and how to URL has to look like?
Thank you very much for your hinds.
Best regards
Manfred

Hello Manfred,
I think this link can be usefull to you: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/43/ef05462480025ae10000000a1553f7/content.htm
With the correct definition of the URL you should be able to call the BW report from CRM. Maybe an SSO certificate will be needed to prevent an additional login to the BW syste,
Best regards

BI Publisher Report Build - XML view

Hi Experts,
I am trying to build the BI publisher report. During the process, I am defining the SQL query structure in the 'Query Builder' once after that I have saved the report.
As part of the next step , I have clicked on 'view' link to view the report structure as mentioned in the OBE.
I could only see the 'Data' view but not the 'XML' view. Is there any way I can see the 'XML' view.
Any help would be appreciated
Siva

Data means look at the xml data that you have created.

Javascript file - open BI Publisher report

Good afternoon.
I'm not sure if this is even possible but hopefully one of you experts out there will be able to advise;
I had some javascript in my page which contained a simple function to open a BI Publisher report, it was:
function run_40BFG()
popupURL('&BI_URL.Guest/MyFolder/MM_40BFG/MM_40BFG.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=1&P_CASE_ID=&P303_CASE_ID.&xt=MM_40BFG_xf=rtf');
...this worked fine. To improve maintainability (I don't want to amend the Page Header each time I add a report), I wanted to extract this function and place it in a javascript file which I have done with 'some' success.
Page Template amended - OK
Page Header global variables added - OK (tested with simple 'alert' function and all was fine)
Now the function in the javascript file looks like:
function run_40BFG()
popupURL('gBIurl.Guest/MyFolder/MM_40BFG/MM_40BFG.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=1&P_CASE_ID=gCaseID.&xt=MM_40BFG_xf=rtf');
...but each time I receive a 500 Internal Server Error.
Is it at all possible to run a BIP report from an external javascript file? If not, is there another way?
If it is possible, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
Sue

...just wanted to bump this up the thread list in the hope that someone will be able to help!
Thanks
