Report Engine API 4.0 (upgrade to 4.1)

Hi,
In the incoming days we will face the upgarde of our current SAP BI Platform (4.0 SP8) to next minor release (4.1). One of most challenging points is to ensure the proper behaviour of existing SDK customizations based on Report Engine API available at 4.0. I know that SAP is promoting use of Restful Web Services as a way to implement functionality previously delivered by JAVA API but my question is. Will current Report Engine API based developments work under in 4.1 release? In other words, has SAP planned an smooth transition from Report Engine API to restful Web Services scenario (compatibility scenario ) or code will have to be completely rewriten ?
Thanks,

Hi Alfons,
As per the current situations Report Engines SDKs are still the same in BI 4.1 likewise in BI 4.0 all patches. You can perform the below functionalities with BI 4.x Report Engines SDK :
- Export Webi Report to some other format.
- View a Webi Report.
- Partial drilling.
- Save prompts in Webi reports etc.(Most of the functionalities are deprecated like schedule with prompts etc.)
On the other hand with Webi Raylight REST SDKs you can leverage the workflow of legacy functional parity of BusinessObjects XI 3.1 Report Engines SDKs.
By seeing as a future, it looks like most of the new development & enhancement are happens in the Webi REST world. So planning to rewrite the code in terms of REST SDKs is beneficial.
As you are talking about the compatability, Report Engines Java SDKs are same upto BI 4.1 Patch 4 release. But it might be possible that in future Report Engines Java SDKs are totally deprecated. You can also refer the Object Model Digram of Report Engines SDKs which gives you list of deprecated interfaces, classes & methods.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Shailendra

Crystal Report Print Engine API calls from Powerbuilder

I am using Crystal Report XI R2 with Powerbuilder 9.0. I am using Crystal Report API calls using crpe32.dll to display my reports. When i run my reports from my development machine where Crystal Reports is installed the reports run properly, but when i deploy my application on a server where Crystal Reports is not installed the report gives me error "Report has not been opened" , Error 599.
The database logon info is properly set in the RPT file.
I want to know whether it is possible to run reports without installing Crystal Reports and how do you do it?

Somehow, you will have to install the CR runtime...
Probably the best way will be to create a deployment project using a utility such as InstallShield, Wise, MS Visual Installer, etc. Use the RDC merge modules and add the crpe32.dll to the deployment project, ensuring the crpe32.dll is installed into the ...\3.5\bin directory. The Correct msm files are here:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009381702008E/crxir2sp4_rdc_mm.zip
BTW., using the print engine APIs... Not something recommended, nor supported. Last header files for the crpe APIs shipped in version 9...

Oracle9iAS Reports Services Engine API

Hi,
In Oracle9iAS Reports Service documentation, it mentions that there's an API for creating your own engine called Oracle9iAS Reports Services Engine API. Could anyone tell me where can I find information about this API?
Thank you in advance,
Fred

Hi Fred,
We are working on publishing the Pluggable Engine sample code and documentation soon on OTN. Meanwhile, if you post your email address, I could send you the sample code.
By the way all Reports API's are available here:

Report Engine rwEng-0 crashed when server startup

I installed 9ias on RedHat Linux, and applied the latest patches(Core patch 2, NT patch 1, form&report patch 2).But when I start the report server(in-process server).
The report server's log shows:

Then I run a report with the web browser, after single sign-on login interface, the browser is hang, then shows

Report engine(rwrun60) is crashing one by one

Below is the setting of my reports server parameter on 11.5.10.2.
maxconnect=300
cachedir="/u02/EPFH/epfhora/8.0.6/reports60/server/cache"
cachesize=1000
minengine=16

security=1
englife=50
mailprofile="$Header: REP60_server.ora 115.6 2004/11/30 05:20:55 ptiwari ship $"
nlssupport=yes
The number of engines starts with 16 and goes up also, but after handling few number of requests, it shutdown one by one and finally one engine left.(The minserver is 16).
I suspect when memory acquired by report server(rwmts60) is growing, it is not able to restart the report engine.
What is the cause the report engine is not able to keep 16 engines as specified. We have esingle node application with 8 cpus.
One peak the load is as below.

Is it possible to use the JAVA Report Engine SDK to modify DESKI reports?

Post Author: Nadine
CA Forum: JAVA
Hi, is it possible to add a complex filter to a DESKI report using the JAVA report engine sdk?
In the developer tutorials for this API, I've only found references to WEBI in terms of modifying reports, though it seems to be possible to view DESKI reports with this sdk.
I am a bit confused in terms of the scope of this API and how I would use it in regard to DESKI.
Many thanks for any suggestions!
Nadine

Post Author: Ted Ueda
CA Forum: JAVA
Current (XI R2) version of ReportEngine API only supports refreshing/viewing functionality for Desktop Intelligence documents. Document modification/creation is only supported with Web Intelligence documents. Queries aren't modifiable for Deski using ReportEngine API - you can only do so using Desktop Intelligence Reporter SDK, which is COM based.Sincerely,Ted Ueda

Embedded report engine is limited to a max of 3 simultaneous user requests

Please help me.
I currently developing an ASP.NET web application using Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 with Crystal Reports Embedded.
But found that this embedded report engine is limited to a maximum of three simultaneous user requests.
I would like to know, is it any solution for increase the amount of crystal report simultaneous user requests? Can this issues solved if we upgrade to Full Version Crystal Report?
Please help me. Thank you everyone.

Hello,
3 licensing is what stays with the Engine dll and itu2019s applicable to all Crystal bundled products(CR 4 VS2010, CR 4 VS2008, CR 4 VS2005, CR 4 VS2003) and stand alone products(CRXIR2 S6, CR2008 SP3). This cannot be changed/increased until you opt for our server based products, which gives you option for increasing the licenses. You might want to contact CIC (800-677-7271) to get more details on this.
Until an existing handle on report is released from memory, the other requests cannot be taken up. So, once a report rendering is over you might want to call the ReportDocumentObject.Close(),ReportDocumentObject.Dispose() and force the GC to act. This might release the unused objects from memory and you can reuse them.
As Don suggested, if you wish, do a search on the forum threads and you will find more details and licensing guides for different products provided earlier.
As far as my knowledge goes, timeout can also be caused if your app has timeout defined or DB has a timeout setting done. You might want to check that. If you need help on timeout section, I hope you will address it in a new thread. See [rules of engagement.|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/x/FgQ]
Thanks.

Report template API?

During the beta program for MX7 I was part of the discussions
about an API to access the "properties" of a CFR file. Did this API
ever come to fruition as I can't seem to find any published method
for interrogating the contemnts or structue of a CFR file.

Bump. The question being: Is there a way to get a BIRT parameter
prompting dialog such as the InputParameterDialog to show when calling
BIRT Engine API directly to run a report? My suspicion so far is that I
will need to get the parameter collection and build my own UI, but
wondering if anyone has done this, or has any input here.

Web based reporting engine integrated with APEX

Hello,
I would like to use some completely web-based reporting solution for my application. My idea is that I will create some datasource, prepare database query and publish some data columns to end users (datamodel). They will choose from many of prepared data areas, create their own report using some intuitive web-based report designer and save it. I do not need it for any analytic purposes, no dynamic filters, graphs and other widgets, no BI. It will be all only about building text based reports with few dynamic fields (customer address, actual date etc..).
For example: User will prepare some document (template) with few paragraphs and add some of prepared dynamic fields into it (ie. company name, customer address, repeating table with list of employees, some image). Then he will be able to generate same document for many customers etc..
I am looking for some simple, user friendly web based application. Some external report builder for example for Jasper reports is not what I am looking for.
I will need to integrate it with Oracle 11g XE with APEX 4.2 so some API or URL parameters is must.
Used reporting engine does not be completely free, but I am able to pay max. $5000 for it
Do you have some tips?
Thank you

This could be a solution for APEX reports (interactive reports). But I want to create more complex reports, not only table based reports.
I need to create for example invoice report with some dynamic fields (customer, invoice items...), another report can be for example some contract about cooperation with some dynamic fields (contract number, personal information ...).
These reports will be mostly only text based without any table. See example bellow. How would you generate this kind of letter?
"Hello <CUSTOMER_NAME>, we would like to offer our new product <PRODUCT_NAME> to you..."
Where CUSTOMER_NAME a PRODUCT_NAME are prepared fields (from some database tables). It will be something very similar to Microsoft Word automatic mailings. User can generate many text based reports and save them as PDF.
I need to find some web based product, that will be simple for users and can be integrated with APEX.

Report Engine Crashed

Form version is form 6.0.8.8.0
Report version is 6.0.8.8.3.3
I am facing two problems
first is when i run a report and report engine is not already open report will run ok but whenever report engine already open report engine will crash down.
Second prb is i am getting this error msg in few reports

We are using the following procedue in our form builder files to call a report :

Add_Parameter(pl_id,'TO_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,to_char( :OP_LOG.TO_DATE, 'dd/mm/yyyy'));
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'SECURITY',TEXT_PARAMETER,:OP_LOG.ISIN_POPLIST);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_SECURITY_DESC',TEXT_PARAMETER,V_SECURITY_NAME);

Report Engine SDK sample code questions

Hello,
I've been able to view a boxi report in an iframe via the Enterprise SDK by modifying the sample code in the HowToViewWebiReports_VB example.
I'm not totally happy with the way that's working, so I'm looking at using the Report Engine SDK, although I understand it's performance and scalability isn't quite as good as the Enterprise SDK.
I'm a VB.NET guy, not a C# guy, and I'm not clear on how the wssdk_net2.0_portal_sample_12.0_en example is supposed to work.
I don't have one and my CMS server is running Tomcat, not IIS so there's not going to be an ASP.NET web service running there.
In the dsws.config for the wssdk_net2.0_portal_sample_12.0_en example I put the name of the CMS server, but it's looking for a web service at http://cmsservername:8080/dswsbobje/services/Session, but I get a 404 when i try to hit that.
I'm not familiar with Tomcat, but in searching around on the server, I see a dswsbobje directory under the webapps in my Tomcat installation, but I don't see a services or a Session folder underneath that. In the dswsbobje folder I see the following folders:
BOAR-INF
META-INF
WEB-INF
xsd
Is there something else that needs to be installed on the Tomcat server to get the web service running?
-Eric

It looks like I have something there. When I launch launch http://servername:8080/dswsbobje, I see:
Apache-AXIS
Hello! Welcome to Apache-Axis.
What do you want to do today?
Validate the local installation's configuration
see below if this does not work.
To enable the disabled features, uncomment the appropriate declarations in WEB-INF/web.xml in the webapplication and restart it.
Validating Axis
If the "happyaxis" validation page displays an exception instead of a status page, the likely cause is that you have multiple XML parsers in your classpath. Clean up your classpath by eliminating extraneous parsers.
I clicked on the "Validate" link and I see:
