Question about templates with multiple queries

I am just starting out with BI Publisher, v.10.1.3.2. I have a report that has multiple queries, but my template is just based on 1 query. How can I make the template use more than one query?
Thanks!!

Printing on Web - web template with multiple queries

Hi.
Trying to print to PDF from the Web, when I have more than 1 query in the web template, using Tabs.
When the report has been run, if I select the tab for report A and then Print, I need report A to be printed. Similarly, if I have selected the tab for report B I expect report B to be printed.
Is this possible without resorting to HTML coding direct? If so, can you tell me how, please? I have no problem printing single queries, the issue is how to print different reports without having several Print buttons. If it CAN only be done by HTML coding, could you send me some sample code please?
As well as offering points for useful answers, I can also offer my Word document where I have broken 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN in to its components, with screenshots... I have found it invaluable.
Thanks,
Patrick

The answer was to use the Tabstrip web item... although I still have to define a set of buttons for each tab, only one set is visible at a time, which is fine

Creating report with multiple queries in clear quest

Hi,
I am new to reports and currently working with creating reports that connect to clear quest(CQ).
I have successfully created several reports, that connect to the CQ, but they all have data from only one query.
Now I am trying to create a slightly complex report where I need to fetch data from multiple queries. All these queries use 2 parameter to filter their data. I have dynamic cascading parameters to get them. When just connecting they all work ok. I used the link tab to link them to two fields of one query, to make sure that they all filter to fields from same query.
The problem is when I drop the fields from the various queries on the form, the data is fetched multiple times.
I also played with links to make them outer links but in that case I get error and unable to run the report completely.
Any ideas on how to work with multiple queries and provide same parameters to all of the queries?
Thanks in advance.

- How do I make sure that the relationship is not one to many?
You don't. That's the nature of the data. For example a single person can order multiple items. A simple one to many relationship.
- In the link tab, I can only point to queries, is there a way I can point the fields to report params?
You should be seeing tables... I think you're having a tough time with the basic terminology.
- How does these Enforce Joins (4 options) work.
There is rarely if ever any reason to switch from the default "not enforced". Leave it alone. The only one you'll touch 90% of the time is the Join Type.
PAP,
Based on the questions you're asking, it sounds like you are missing some major database fundamentals. My suggestion would be to step away from CR for the time being and read a little bit about relational databases (what makes them relational) and database normalization. This will also give you an idea about the various join types and when to use one over the other.
You can know every feature and function in CR, but until you have at least a basic knowledge of how data relates, you'll never pull in the data you need.

Bursting a report with multiple queries

Hi,
I need to set-up bursting in BIP for a report with multiple queries. The output format is pdf and delivery is through e-mail. Since the queries need to be linked, I'm trying to do this using data template. I've set-up split and burst based on a field (store_id) from the first query which is used as a bind variable in the subsequent queries. So I'd ideally want the report to be split based on store_id. The report works fine if I use a parameter for store_id and view the output by store_id. When I try to schedule the report for bursting, it generates and e-mails the reports but only the last report appears to have correct data output while the others have only the output from the first query (and all other queries appear to return nothing in the report).
Any suggestions on what could be the issue here? Thanks!
Here is the data template for the report:

Hello user6428199,
When you use ":Q1_STORE_ID" in your queries, BI Publisher looks for a report parameter named Q1_STORE_ID. Change all your report queries to get data for all the store_id's available. As you are bursting the report using the store_id as the bursting key, BI Publisher will split the report based on the stored_id and delivers content based on it. No matter how many queries you may have, BI Publisher will loop through all the store_id's available and all the queries will return data for that particular id in a report.
Thanks,
Machaan

Report with Multiple queries too slow in BI Publisher 11g

Hi, I have a report in 11g where i need to create multiple queries to show them in report. I tried to combine everything in one query, but i found that the query is too huge and hard to understand and maintain. I created 3 data sets and linked them together. In SQL dev, the main query is returning about 315 records and first detail query returns less than 100 records and second detail query is returning one record which is BLOB. Each query returns data within a couple of seconds from SQL Developer. The entire report from BI Publisher should be just 21 page PDF output. Did anyone face performance issues while running reports with multiple queries in 11g? I ran reports that have single query which returned 10K pages PDF and never had an issue while everthing is in one query. This is the first time Iam attempting to create multiple queries. Can someone help me understand what i might be doing wrong or missing here. Thank you.

Isn't there a way for you to do this via a Package/Procedure versus having multiple queries?
Per the BI Publisher guide,
Following are recommended guidelines for building data models:
Reduce the number of data sets or queries in your data model as much as possible. In general, the fewer data sets and queries you have, the faster your data model will run. While multiquery data models are often easier to understand, single-query data models tend to execute more quickly. It is important to understand that in parent-child queries, for every parent, the child query is executed.
You should only use multiquery data models in the following scenarios:
To perform functions that the query type, such as a SQL query, does not support directly.
To support complex views (for example, distributed queries or GROUP BY queries).
To simulate a view when you do not have or want to use a view.
Thanks,

Poor Performance 7.0 Workbook with multiple queries

Hi all,
I've got the following issue. Our users have workbooks which contain serveral queries on different sheets. (One on each workbook sheet)
When a workbook contains 5 or more queries, the overall workbook performance will decrease drastically. Workbook with 8 or more queries result in time-outs and messages like unsufficient shared memory.
Does anyone have the same kind of problems with multiple queries in a Bex 7.0 workbook? Do any one have a solution?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks!
Cheers,
Ron

Bill,
Tried to make a workbook according to your advise. It certainly makes a difference in workbook size. The new workbook is 50% smaller than the older version based on the standard SAP template.
However, my workbook contains 17 queries, and after 5 minutes it breaks the BW connection. So basic conclusion is that BW 7.0 workbook can't work with a large number of dataproviders/ queries. This did work in BEx BW 3.x.
If any one has any other suggestion, more than welcome.
Cheers,
Ron

We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 for our church worship service; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing. Has this issue been resolved? Thank you!

We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 in our church worship service; we have front screens and a stage display monitor ; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing. Has this issue been resolved? Now that we are 2 upgrades behind, I'm getting little concerned. Thank you!

Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

Exporting a template with multiple images

Let's assume I want to have a large print made at an outside commecial lab because my printer does not handle the size.
In the Print Module, is there a way to export a template with multiple images so that it can be sent to an outside lab for printing?
Or, is this not possible and I would have to design the template in Photoshop and send the file to the lab?
If Lightroom is not yet capable of this, it certainly seems like a worthwhile feature.

Thanks for sticking with this thread to help me.
I am on Windows and I do have PDF capability, the full Adobe Acrobat Professional.
I have been experimenting with your suggestions and, yes, saving it as a PDF and bringing it into Photoshop is a workaround. The images and Identity plate come into Photoshop as they appear in the template in Lightroom.
What doesn't appear in Photoshop is the whitespace(margins)around the images. They appear in the PDF, but they don't appear when I open the PDF in Photoshop. Is there a setting I'm overlooking in the PDF settings dialog that will correct this? Or, is this just the way importing a PDF works when it comes to margins? Must I always go to Image/Canvas size to get the canvas I want? Is there a way of not having to do this?

Question about function with in parameters

Hello,
I have a question about functions with in-parameters. In the HR schema, I need to get the minimum salary of the job_id that is mentioned as an in-parameter.
this is what I am thinking but I dont know if it's correct or not or what should I do next!
create or replace function get_minimum_salary (i_job_id in varchar2)
return number
as
begin
SELECT min_salary INTO min_sal
FROM jobs
where job_id = get_minimum_salary(xy);
RETURN i_job_id;
end get_minimum_salary;
thanks in advance
EDIT
Thanks for your help all.
Is it possible to add that if the i_job_id which is the in type parameter does not have a minimum salary then use the following function to register an error:
create or replace procedure insert_error (i_error_code in number,
i_error_message in varchar2)
as
begin
insert into error_table (error_user, error_date, error_code, error_message)
values (user,sysdate,i_error_code,i_error_message);
end insert_error;
This function is basically to say that an error has occured and to register that error, at the same time I need to print out the error using the dbms_out.put_line.
Any ideas of how to do that?
Thanks again

HI
I have made little bit changes in ur code. try this
create or replace function get_minimum_salary (i_job_id in varchar2)
return number
as
v_Min_sal jobs.salary%type=0;---- Variable declaration
begin
SELECT min_salary INTO v_ min_sal
FROM jobs
where job_id = i_job_id;
RETURN v_Min_sal;
end get_minimum_salary;

Workbook with multiple queries on multiple tabs

Scenario: There is a workbook with multiple queries on multiple tabs.
In 3.x, it was possible to refresh only a select query within the WB but I'm not finding this to be the case in the NW04s BEx Analyzer. It seems that it will always refresh all queries on all tabs.
Do any of you know a way around this?

Hi Bigtoja (and others).
This is not possible in BI/2004s.
Please refer to https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004483762006E page 23. It seems that it will be implemented in a stack sometime in 2008.

Question about Communication with Oracle 7

Hi,
Generally we use Oracle Snapshots for Communication, but since Oracle 9.2.0.5 do not work with Oracle 7.1.5.2.4. we are thinking about do use Oracle Interconnect for this Link.
Now I have the following two Questions about Communication with Oracle 7:
1. Is an Adapter for Oracle 7.1.5.2.4 available?
2. From your experience, does it make sense to install Oracle Interconnect for implementation of only one read only Link with 3 Tables if an OAS for BI is available?
Thanks,
Hannes

1. The Oracle database adapter is for Oracle 8i and up. I checked the code needed in the database and doubt that will work in Oracle 7.
1. The other option Advanced Queuing also needs 8i and up.
2. For me it doesnt make sense that you want to connect to Oracle 7. Oracle 7 is unsupported and should not have to be developed against. Also the license costs for Oracle Interconnect ~17K without any discount is a bit steep for read only links to three tables. Having the OAS means you wont have to pay another additional ~17K for the apps server.

Question about auto-saving multiple files with the same template

Is there any way to do this? The template will never change - but I will need to save it as a new file each time I open it. Just want to know if there is an automatic way to do this when the template is opened each time? Preferably numeric, starting from any number. I suppose I can just save each file myself - but as it gets up into the thousands of files - I'm not going to want to.
It would be really cool if it could auto-save the file, assign it a number, and then place that number in the top corner of the saved document.
If anyone can help - let me know. C.

OK. First add a text field to the document, say "text1". You probably want it to be read-only. You can duplicate it to all pages if needed. Then open the template document, open the interactive JavaScript console (Ctrl+J), and enter the following code:
// Interactive Console JavaScript
// Get the folder this file is in
var folder = path.replace(documentFileName, "");
// Save multiple copies (from 1 to 9)
// with the number in the text field
for (var i = 1; i < 10; i += 1) {
getField("text1").value = i;
saveAs(folder + "template" + i + ".pdf");
After you paste the code, highlight the lines and press Ctrl+Enter (or the Enter key on the numeric keypad) and Acrobat will save multiple copies to the same folder as the template. Replace "text1" with the name of the field you've set up and "template" with the name you want the copies to have before the number.

Question about upgrading iTunes multiple computers with shared library

Greetings,
I have a question about upgrading to the current version of iTunes.
Currently, my household uses 3 Mac computers (2 Powerbook 17in laptops and a Mack Mini). We are all (currently) on system 10.4.11 (with iTunes 9.2.1). Between the 3 computers we have a shared iTunes music and video library on a networked high capacity hard drive.
We recently purchased an iPad. In order to make it easy for updates and to use media from our iTunes shared library I decided that we should upgrade the systems on our home computers to Snow Leopard. I have ensured that all the computers have at lease 2 Gb of RAM and adequate hard drive space.
The only possible problem I see is that one of the Powerbook laptops uses the old Motorola processor. (This is one of the last Powerbooks to use that processor.) I don’t think this computer can be upgraded to Snow Leopard.
My question is, if I upgrade 2 of the computers (and iTunes in the process), will I still be able to access the shared iTunes library using the older computer with the older system and iTunes? Will the upgrade process change the iTunes library in such a way that the one older computer will no longer be able to properly access that library?
Are there any other problems I might encounter having a mixed system/iTunes environment?
Thank you,
Tim

Just a thought. Should I somehow open iTunes on MBP2 using MBP1's Library file??
both Macs can access the same library file, however, only one at a time !
to do that, you would ideally have the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) on the external. then, on one Mac after the other, launch iTunes while holding the option key, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
or, you could have two separate libraries and keep those in sync using third party tools such as Syncopation, TuneRanger or SuperSync.
for purchases from the iTunes store, you could set up _*Home Sharing*_ - it can be configured to automatically transfer new purchases to home shared libraries.
Can I create a script to have MBP1 always save the iTunes Library file on the shared hard drive?
no need.

Question about distinct_values for multiple fields

Hi,
With the distinct_values() function we can get the distinct value for a specified field, and is there any way to get the distinct value for multiple fields?
Thanks!

Hi simpson213,
According to your description, you have some questions about your report design.
1. How to have non-duplicating child info?
In this scenario, since you don't want to hide the duplicate data, we suggest you filter the duplicated records on query level by using Distinct statement. If you want to do it on report level, you can group
records on chid id and use First() function on other fields.
Reference: First Function (Report Builder and SSRS)
2. How to have various sections that contain fields with numerous values?
We can also add these fileds into the child group of child and have them toggled by child id.
Reference: Add an Expand/Collapse Action to an Item (Report Builder and SSRS)
3. How to add a page break between each child?
Right click on the Row Group(child id)->Page Break->Select between each group instance.
Reference: Add a Page Break (Report Builder and SSRS)
4. How to select multiple child id when rendering report?
When creating parameter, select Allow multiple values in General.
Reference: Add, Change, or Delete a Report Parameter (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,
Simon Hou
