Where does workspace store the pdf and excel file ?

Hi,
I'm working on a Web Analysis project and I have created a dynamic web menu based on the workspace repository to improve the poor capacities of WA in terms of menu. I use the javascript API to control the WA applet from the menu.
Now my problem is that my customer created a folder in workspace (which is translated into a sub menu of my dynamic menu), and that folder contains pdf and excel files. The function openFile which I use to open report in the applet doesn't work on pdf and excel files. So I've been looking for the files on the server, to know where they are stored, so that I could just modify the java class that generates the menu.
I couldn't find those files on the server. Where are they ? Are they stored in the database as an xml string like the report s ? If yes then I might have a problem.
Has anyone already done this ?
Thanks for your help.

Tomcat stores it in the work dir under $TOMCAT_HOME.
There'll be directories like localhost%2f<urcontext>..
As for as JSP changes being recognized, try refreshing ur browser....

PDF and Excel output cell spacing issues

Hi all..
I have a report and template whose output should be both in PDF and Excel.
Lets say I have two tables in out put one below other. (Table1 and table 2 below it..)
Table 1 has 5 columns and table 2 has 30 columns.
In PDF since it is difficult and ugly to show 30 columns, I made font as 6( very small font)
PDF output looks fine. But, when I open the reort in excel..its all messed up and ugly.
Table 1 column widths are very much uneven. lI noticed that table1, table 2 coulmns width are same...
For my Requirement, they must have seperate widths.. Also..when I open the report in Excel, I still get in font size 6 which is ugly
I want table1 column width and table 2 column width in Excel as seperate..
How do I achieve this.

Vetsrini wrote:
you can do that too..
two set of tables, one for each output. and use the Microsoft word font properties.
else
add something like this
<fo:block font-size="14pt" font-family="verdana" color="red">
Your test or your field
</fo:block>Srini, this worked!
My font differences in Pdf and Excel has been eliminated now.
But however I have one more problem as I stated in my first post.
When I exported into Excel, My column width of first table is dependant on the other making my report look uneven.
I am providing the screen shots.
Look how Rate column of first table is very huge as it took the colmun width of table2 (Decription column)

I need something like this: http://i.imgur.com/nklEN.jpg
Is this achievable?

Could 'export button' show only pdf, and excel only?

Hai,
I am using report viewer, it has export button in that header.
Could 'export button' show only pdf, and excel only?
So the report just only export pdf only or excel only.
Technology:
Asp.net Vs2010
SSRS2012
Windows 7

I found the solution:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/74dad27b-ef7e-4b9b-8922-666b317b3094
This is the additional code, to hide all type of export.
            DisableUnwantedExportFormat((ReportViewer)sender, "XML");
            DisableUnwantedExportFormat((ReportViewer)sender, "CSV");
            DisableUnwantedExportFormat((ReportViewer)sender, "IMAGE");
            DisableUnwantedExportFormat((ReportViewer)sender, "PDF");
            DisableUnwantedExportFormat((ReportViewer)sender, "MHTML");
            DisableUnwantedExportFormat((ReportViewer)sender, "EXCELOPENXML");
            DisableUnwantedExportFormat((ReportViewer)sender, "WORDOPENXML");

Taking zip, pdf and excel file Offline

Hi All,
The App has fixed number of zip, pdf and excels (10, 15, 5) files which periodically gets updated, using the updated feature the app updates all the files currently.
Is there a way where the App can replace all the updated files offline from the server "offline synnchronization" .
srinath

Yes, but it's very complicated and requires a set of custom-made scripts.
The easiest way of doing it is by converting the Excel file to a plain-text
file (like a CSV file) and then attach that file to the PDF and use it as
the data source for the script that populates the fields.

Multiple Mail attachment (PDF and Excel) in a single mail

Please help me to send the PDF and Excel attachment in the single mail. I am using the FM for PDF is 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' and for Excel 'SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1'. Currently the program sends 2 different attachments for PDF and Excel.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
If you want to send multiple attachments in a single mail then i would suggest to use
CL_BCS for achieving it.
Look at standard program BCS_EXAMPLE_6 for more clarity.
There you find this statement of code
document1 = cl_document_bcs=>create_document
After creating one document using this you can use the same statement again and create another document.
document2 = cl_document_bcs=>create_document
Both documents should have different name.
Then use
send_request->set_document( document1 ).
send_request->set_document( document2 ).
This will attach both the documents to a single email.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
-Sandeep

Strange characters displaying in FR pdf and excel export

We are using Financial Reporting on a Planning application. We have a dimension, projects, whose aliases display on the report. Now the strange part. On some projects, not all, during some report runs, but not all, some, but not all, of the spaces in the alias are translated into a question mark in the pdf, and then when the pdf is exported to excel, the question marks are translated into black diamonds with a question mark inside.
We’ve seen it happen on a handful of projects. These are from the same report, first one from report ran Monday, second one from report ran yesterday.
P.F0256REC - M88 STS Forecast
P.F0256REC�-�M88�STS Forecast
Ok, the diamonds won't paste into this message. But you can see the little squares in the second line - those are the diamonds with question marks inside.
Has anyone seen this behavior before? Or know what to do about it?
Sabrina

I've seen similar items with 2 causes:
1. When creating the alias names, the DBAs copied from emails and pasted the names in, which caused the formatting issues. Solution, get them to remove the existing alias and retype manually.
I think this is probably your problem too.
2. Font substitution: The other time was due to differing fonts installed on the developer, print server and BI server machines, causing some incorrect items to be displayed - check that the fonts are the same on all servers/instances.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Iain

Hyperlinks in RTF and Excel reports using CF Report Builder

Has anyone gotten external links to work in RTF and Excel CF
Report Builder reports? The PDF report type works as advertised in
the help, but these other two have me stumped.

Could you please tell us whether you fllowed any special procedures
or made some specific settings to launch RTF reports ?Can't help much, I'm afraid. The report and web server settings were
all made before I got here, and are not visible to me.
We can get RTF from report builder/generate-to-file and when running
reports on the web. Our servers are all Sun/Solaris boxes, although
we display on DOS boxes. Excel we get from a program, not from the
report server.
Report builder 6.0.8.10.1, database claims to be 8.1.7.0.0.
Sorry I can't help much more than saying "yes, it can be done".

Linking PDF and Excel File

Is there a way to link a PDF to an excel file so when the end user types in information it will auto populate what they are looking for? I would like for the end users to be able to search for their contact information by inputting their zip code and it populate in the PDF.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not even sure where to start.

Yes, but it's very complicated and requires a set of custom-made scripts.

Opening pdf and excell on an acrobat or xls sheet from a servlet

Hi all
I have a servlet that generates a pdf or excell as per the file type passed , the problem i am facing is the excell and the pdf file opens on the browser itself. Is there anyway of opening the pdf / excell on their applicaitons (ie on Acrobat reader or Microsoft excell). Or promting the user to save.
regards
riaz
NOTE: My servlet code is as below
public synchronized void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
Log.skip();
Log.write("Servlet posting...");
try
     String filename = request.getParameter("DownLoad");
     File file = new File(filename);
String lsContentDisposition = "inline; +filename=\"" filename + "\";";
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
     response.setContentLength((int)file.length());
     response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", lsContentDisposition);
java.io.FileInputStream fis = new java.io.FileInputStream(file);
     int i = 0;
     javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream out =response.getOutputStream();
     while((i=fis.read()) != -1)
          out.write(i);
          out.flush();
          out.close();
          fis.close();
          response.flushBuffer();
     catch(Throwable t)
     System.out.println("---DownLoadFile--:" + t.getMessage() );
     }

Probably the browser for security reason will not open those application unless the user specifically ask it to do it. One way you can do is put a hyperlink to those files in your generated pages and let the user click on it, at which moment depending on the configuration of the web browser will open the right application.
Hope this help.

Issues while saving the Webi Report locally in pdf and Excel Format

Hi,
I am getting issues with the images on a Webi Report when I try to save the reports locally on my machine in either a pdf format or in an Excel Format.
I think the issue is that when I am trying to save the report it saves the address of the image binded in the report but it doesn't save the image/download the image and when the report is opened locally it couldn't refer to the image location.
I am using BOXIR2 with SP2.8.
I am not sure what should be the right solution for this. Any insight or resolution will definitely be helpful.

Hi;
I would investigate on the load balancer and/or Apache front end servers, are you sure you don't have a keep alive setting enabled somewhere on one of these servers? in the Tomcat connector maybe?
Regards;
Lionel
