Report painter report in portal - Excel output in SAP GUI for HTML

Dear sirs,
I need your expertize. I would like to let my users display (Excel in place)/ save the result of my report painter reports into MS Excel. I have found notes 499262 a 314568, but didn´t understand the message (or there is no message:)). Does that mean I cannot use Excel in place together with Report painter and SAP GUI for HTML?
Second question: is there a place (user exit in generated code? I don´t even know what I am looking for) to get the data provided by the report painter engine and send the retrieved data to some custom function (to be able to call the Adobe form, to save it as a text file or any option how to manipulate the resulting data...?).
thank you for your time and effort,
regards Otto

Hi Otto,
You can send print the report to the spool and then use RSTXPDFT4 program to convert this spool to PDF file. Alternatively, you can export the spool to spreadsheet or ASCII file via SP01 transaction.
Additinally, I'm not aware of unability to use Excel output with SAP GUI interface.
Regards,
Eli

Change standard SAP GUI for HTML theme to portal theme

Dear Experts,
I have created transaction code for SAP GUI HTML for a custom report program developed in SE38.
We have created a URL iView in Websphere enterprise portal. The Transaction executing well and there are no issues.
But the SAP GUI HTML uses SAP Standard theme. I wanted to change the input field background color which is similar to our portal theme.
Please let me know , how to change the theme of the standard SAP GUI for HTML.
Thanks in advance.
any solution will be greatly appreciated.

SAP GUI for HTML on Portal

Hello All,
I have transaction iViews on the portal and I am using SAP GUI for HTML. Upon launching this iView, i get the logon page, even though I have SSO set up and working fine.
Now, the problem is, even after logging on with qualified credentials, the logon page disappears, 'Logon is starting' appears then the logon page reappears, as if nothing happened.
Any ideas as to why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Regards,
Motaz

Edgar: The ITS is working and the service launches successfully through the GUI.
I overcame the issue by using SAP GUI for Windows instead. I guess there is a problem when using the HTML GUI from a public IP. Something to do with security or a conflict in the 'hosts' file.

Portal themes for SAP GUI for HTML

Dear SDNs,
We have a portal theme designed with good and look and feel, but most of our applications are SAP Transaction iViews for HTML GUI. can we apply the same theme to HTML GUI applications? or at least can we change the background color and windows color of HTML GUI applications?
I have tried with ITS Theme generator, but it is just showing the tabs and others as image we need to change. Please provide inputs if any of you having the related information.
Can we also change the GUI for WIndows colors for multiple users? i know to change for one user's local layout, but how can we make one cusotm color for all the users.
Your inputs will be appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Lakshmi.

Hi
I think we cannot apply Portal themes for SAP Transaction Iviews. However, there is a property called Stylesheet for each iview. Play with that property and let me know. The success rate is 50:50.
But I would recommend to migrate them to webdynpro ABAP. Do not still recide in 1995. Come and enjoy the 2010 Web2.0 look and feel and enhanced usability of Webdynpro.

Report Painter Report - Leading White Spaces in Cost Element

When calling up a report painter report, e.g. S_ALR_87013613, with cost element characteristic in Office integration/Microsoft Excel as output parameters, the cost element (row item) is indented with white spaces. The number of white spaces seems to be in relation with summation levels (sub-totals) visible in the left panel. For some cost centres that only have limited transactions, such as no posting to salary account group, there are less levels of summation, meaning less leading white space in cost elements. Is there any way to eliminate or have a fixed number of leading white spaces in cost elements?
We export the report to Excel worksheet for further processing. VLOOKUP function is used to read the cost element into another workbook. The inconsistent number of leading white spaces creates a problem for the formulas to work properly.
Any suggestion is appreciated.
Regards,

Hello,
There are different ways of downloading the report to excel. One option is
System ==> List ==> save (to local file)
Please try with other options.
If still not working, then the work around would be
You can put ctrl+H (replace all spaces)
Then text to columns
Hope this works.
Regards,
Ravi

Copy a COPA Report painter Report KE30 to a Z-Report in SE38

Dear all,
We have to copy a existing KE30 - Report Painter Report which is for COPA to a Z- Report in SE38 to have some conditions which was not possible through the report painter.
When copied we are not able to get the output in the screen as a drill down report but we are getting in spool request.
Requesting u all to help us in this regard.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Vivek K

Hi Robin,
the request is not unusual. However, report painter does not allow for two key columns or a key column combining two characteristics. You might consider using SAP Query (with table COEP or COSS/COSP for aggregates) if you do not want to resort to developing the report in ABAP.

Hi,
Report Writer enables you to report on data from multiple applications. Using functions such as sets, variables, formulas, cells and key figures, you can create complex reports that meet specific reporting requirements.
The Report Painter is similar to the Report Writer, but is simpler to use.The main components of report painter are characterestics and basic key figure.
The majority of reports end users use in the R/3 System is Report Painter reports. Most of these reports (@ 80+ %) began as Report Writer reports.
The major difference is Report Painter uses a graphical interface (analogous to Notepad and MS Word).
Very few R/3 users employ Report Writer however, many still use, modify and develop reports using Report Painter. Report Painter permits complex groupings and drill-down reporting very useful for such applications as FI-CO and SD. It can also be used interactively allowing users to enter variables for specific steps; thereby permitting drill-across' functionality.
However, Report Painter does have its limitations; it can display only numeric data (excluding column headers) therefore, short text, etc. is not available. It is much easier (quicker) to modify than ABAP and requires no ABAP expertise however, many combine Report Painter with ABAP reports to fill-in many of the missing pieces. Layout design is archaic and rudimentary ~ therefore; many use Report Painter to retrieve and massage the data' and eventually export it into Excel for end use.

Schedule Report Painter Report

I need to schedule a Report Painter Report (relating to Profit center groups) to send the report daily to a list of users thro' mail.
How to achieve this task?
Please give me step by step procedure. Will award points.

Hi,
When you are executing a Job, it may be online or batch processing definitely a report output will come.
You need a report painter when you need to modify various elements, characteristics and Values as per
the client requirement. You can well take the help of an ABAP consultant to modify the existing report to a Z Report or create a Userdefined TCode to generate the required report directly.

Need to call a Report Painter Report with filtered selection criteria

Hello All,
I have created a Report through which I am calling a Report Painter Program 'Z443' as I have to first filter out the selections and then pass it to the Report Painter Report.
I tried the following two ways and found these problems :
1. Submit (program) with selection-table ..... and Return.
The output had many entries i.e the parameters were not passed correctly to the Report Painter Report.
2. Tried using the FM ' CRIF_RW_WEB_CALL_REPORT '.
The transaction for the Report Painter is opening but selections from the first Report is not being transferred.
Please help if you have worked on any similar requirements .
Thanks!

Hi,
just create a proper index and performance will increase. There are some SAP OSS notes who deal with this (for example field "client" should be added if'm not mistaken).
