BEx Reporting - Workbook in User's Favorites

Hello Everyone,
BW reporting users generally open a workbook from a BW role and then save the workbook to their favorites. I heard that there is a way in which the developers could automatically add a workbook to a user's favorites.
I heard that there is a shortcut where we use a function module that adds a workbook to a user's favorites without the user's intervention. And that we can also add a power user's workbook to your own favorites.
Could someone give me the details about this Function Module and related documentation if any. We have been facing a lot of problems with users having problems saving workbooks in their favorites.
If possible, can someone please mail me the related documentation to [email protected]
Thanks in advance.
Message was edited by: Sachin Guptha

Hi Deepu,
We have a similar situation. If the developers want to attach the workbooks directly to the user role than saving them to user's favorites, do we need still to implement this function module (FAVOS_EVENT_ADD_TO_USER_SHELF) or is there any other function module.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

How to embed chart/grafic into bex report (workbook) based on query result?

Hi friends,
Since I have never embedded any Charts/Grafic based on query report, I am wondering if you could share your knowledge?
Thanks for your help in advance!
Regards,
Sally

Hi Sally,
You can create chart into workbook based on the query data.
Execute the query it will show result in excel sheet. In the tool bar of the sheet you find 'Chart wizard' icon . Select the icon, it will ask for the type of the graph. After select the ranges of the data from result. It will display the graph. Then you can save the workbook.
Graphs can be embedded in different sheets.
Hope it helps.

Hello Experts,
I have added infobjects to the cube, ODS and Infoset. These object are already in production from a long time and there queries / reports on the same.
When I am going to transport the new Cube, ODS and Infoset with the new objects added, would this effect the queries/ reports which the users are already using them.
Is there any caution or procedure to be followed.

In addition to what Arun said..
If you are adding anything in the Infoset make sure you adjust the Infoset in RSISET.

Can any one help me in this one.
Advance Thanks.

Hi Prasad
If my understanding is right then
U have created query and generated a work book in that work book u have placed
a PI chart .and save it as a XXXX work book.
while reopening or executing the work book u r unable to see the Pie chart ..
Solution: U need to save it properly and right click on any of the cell and go to the
properties flag the check box update automatically refresh. and come out and
then execute it. Normally what happens is the Pie chart in the work book will
execute based on the values available in the work book ..When the values got
refreshed they are automatically reflect in the work book...
Hope itz clear..If not please feel free to post the message with the clear info...so
that v can answer u ASAP.

Display Report for 30 Profit center in 30 sheets in a Workbook

Hi all
I have a very unusual requirement .
Part A.
I need to display a particular report for a profit center , then I need to display the same report for each inner node of the above Profit center in separate sheets . & all these sheets should be renamed with the name of the Profit Center .
These then need to sent via a Information Broadcaster to the user.
e.g if I have a Profit Center A. & within Profit Center A , the inner hierarchy nodes are A.a , A.b , A.c etc
Then my 1st sheet should contain the report for Profit Center A with the sheet name as Profit Center A . then the next sheet would contain the report for Profit Center A.a & also renamed as Profit Center A.a , then 3rd sheet would contain the report for Profit Center A.b & also renamed as Profit Center A.b
This is part A. Would this be possible ?
I know that I can manually add the report each time in each sheet separately . But can be this done Dynamically ?
Also the renaming of the sheet , can something be done to pick up the value of the profit center manually ?
Part B
I need to send the above prepared report workbook through Broadcaster to the users.
can the above settings for multiple values of the Variable Profit center be created in the broadcaster setting ?
When I searched for this , the Broadcaster allows multiple variables selection for some Formats ,but not for Excelsheets.
Please help me out here.
Thanks
Ramesh

Hi,
Check SPRO configuration for account assignment settings @
SRM server->cross application basic settings->account assignment->Define account assignment
1. Check for your acc assignment category for ex. WBS , what are account assignment fields are maintained.
if not there maintain profit_ctr from search help.
2. If you are not able to track profit_ctr in search help then you may need to make respective profit center entry in table BBP_C_ACC_F and then perfom step 1.
after above steps even you are not able to get profit center on screen then you may need to check
1. Meta data configuration
2. WDP component for profit_ctr field

Report generation question

Hi,
With regards to BI Discoverer and BI Publisher, is a report/workbook re-generated from the underlying data source every time someone requests it or does the BI server serve up an existing copy of the report?
The context: we will have some 600 reports being accessed by 2000 odd people. I'm trying to get some understanding of the load on the server and the performance of the report generation.
Appreciate any help you can provide.
Cheers,
Nim

BI Publisher will execute your query each time you access the report, by default BI Discoverer will do also. But BI Discoverer has the possibility to schedule reports, each time the report is accessed, the scheduled (saved) result will be shown on the report. An other possibility is to use snapshots on the DB to schedule your queries and base your reports on those snopshots.

Passing Parameters to Discoverer report from ORacle Forms

Hi All,
Can I pass a value to a parameter defined in the discoverer page from a D2k form? I want to call a discovere page from fmb while passing a parameter.
This is extremely urgent for me. Pl help .
Thank you and Regards,
Vaibhav M. Shah.

Hi ,
Are you saying I should create a new workbook that is not based on my custom folder for setting and showing the context value? You don't need to create a new workbook, you can just create a new worksheet in your report workbook, but you will need two sheets to use contexts. The sheet that sets the contexts should not be based on your custom folder, but on a folder that returns a single row. You cannot set and check contexts in a single SQL statement, so you have to have 2 worksheets.
You can default the contexts using a trigger or initialisation SQL so that the user only has to set the contexts if they are not using the defaults.

How to get the Report Names which use a Folder in Discoverer Administrator?

Hello All,
How could I get which Reports in discoverer Desktop are using a particular folder in Discoverer Administrator?
Or
How to know which Discoverer Desktop Reports are being derived from a folder in Discoverer Administrator?
We have Oracle 9i DS installed and have a Custom Folder Created in the Administrator, and want to know exactly which Reports/Workbooks are using that folder?
Thanks in advance :)

Well Abhijit,
The eul workbooks have been created by oracle specifically to analyze your eul and make your work easier!. So, I prefer this way to view the information about my eul in a report format in the desktop. Try it! you may like it.
If you want you can follow these steps:
Run the script called eul5.sql located in <discoverer_installation_path>\discoverer\util in the user who own the eul in the database.
Then import the eul5.eex file located at <discoverer_installation_path>\discoverer\ in the discoverer administrator.
Then login into desktop and open the reports in the database, you can see a report called[b] EUL Workbook Management. Open that and goto the sheet named Workbook Dependency - Folders & Items Lookup. I think it the last but one worksheet in that workbook.
Hope it helps you!

Challenge passing parameters to discoverer report

Hello everyone, I am following the instructions on this website - http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com/2008/11/metalink-note-304192.html
Basically, we want to use parameters for discoverer reports, especially date parameters because of some performance issues we have been having with discoverer.
Here is the process I am using. Please correct me if I am doing anythinng wrong.
1. Login to apps schema and create context
CREATE OR REPLACE CONTEXT DISCO_CONTEXT
USING EUL4_US.DISCO_PKG
2. Login to eul4_us schema and create package
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE DISCO_PKG
AS
FUNCTION set_context(p_name VARCHAR2,
p_value VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2;
FUNCTION show_context(p_name VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2;
END disco_pkg;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY DISCO_PKG
AS
FUNCTION set_context(p_name VARCHAR2,
p_value VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
dbms_session.set_context('DISCO_CONTEXT', p_name, p_value);
RETURN p_value;
END set_context;
FUNCTION show_context(p_name VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
RETURN SYS_CONTEXT('DISCO_CONTEXT', p_name);
END show_context;
END disco_pkg;
Then grant access to apps
GRANT ALL ON DISCO_PKG TO APPS;
Then import the functions show_context and set_context into discoverer
3. Go back to apps schema and create synonym
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM DISCO_PKG FOR EUL4_US.DISCO_PKG;
4. Create discoverer custom folder using the following query:
SELECT DISTINCT
pet.run_result_id
,papf.employee_number
FROM
per_all_people_f papf,
--hr_lookups hl,*
per_all_assignments_f paaf,
hr_all_organization_units haou,
per_jobs pj,
per_grades pg,
pay_people_groups ppg,
--per_addresses pa,*
--hr_locations_all hla,*
per_positions pps,
per_people_f ppf,
pay_assignment_actions paa,
pay_payroll_actions ppa,
PAY_RUN_RESULTS_V pet,
--pay_element_types_v1 pet,
pay_all_payrolls_f papaf
WHERE
papf.person_id=paaf.person_id
AND papf.employee_number=ppf.employee_number
AND paaf.organization_id=haou.organization_id
AND paaf.job_id=pj.job_id(+)
AND paaf.grade_id=pg.grade_id(+)
AND paaf.people_group_id=ppg.people_group_id(+)
AND paaf.position_id=pps.position_id(+)
AND paaf.business_group_id=0
AND paa.assignment_id = paaf.assignment_id
AND paa.payroll_action_id = ppa.payroll_action_id
AND paa.assignment_action_id=pet.assignment_action_id
AND paaf.payroll_id=papaf.payroll_id
AND ppa.effective_date BETWEEN paaf.effective_start_date AND paaf.effective_end_date
AND ppa.effective_date BETWEEN papf.effective_start_date AND papf.effective_end_date
AND ppa.action_type ='R'
AND ppa.action_status = 'C'
AND paaf.assignment_type = 'E'
AND paaf.primary_flag = 'Y'
AND haou.business_group_id=0
AND ppa.effective_date = TO_DATE(SYS_CONTEXT('DISCO_CONTEXT','PAYROLL_DATE'))
5. Create a parameter called Payroll Date. Default value is set to NULL and the "Create Condition" checkbox is unchecked.
6. Create a calculation
SET_CONTEXT('PAYROLL_DATE', TO_CHAR(:Payroll Date))
And that's it.
The thing is, this doesn't work for me.
But for the same query, if I enter the date value I am substituting, values show up. So it seems for some reason, the context value probably isn't being set or thereabouts.
I have tried setting the context manually in a TOAD session using:
declare
v_ret varchar2(50);
begin
--dbms_session.set_context('DISCO_CONTEXT', 'PAYROLL_DATE', '31-MAR-2010');
v_ret := disco_pkg.set_context('PAYROLL_DATE', '01-MAR-2010');
dbms_output.put_line(v_ret);
end;
And afterwards run the query:
select sys_context('DISCO_CONTEXT', 'PAYROLL_DATE') from dual
And results do show up here. So I'm wondering what could be wrong.
Please help.

Discoverer 4i:i have to create a report based on the two columns

Hi,
I have to create a report(workbook) that will have 2 parameters from date & to date.i have to apply a validation that from date should be lesser then to date.Do reply
Thanks,

The methods described by user564110 will work, but may not give the results you want. The user will enter the dates, the query will run, and if the to_date is lesser than the from_date, the result will be an empty worksheet with a "no rows returned" type of message. There is no way that I can think of that validate the parameters and warn the user prior to runing the worksheet.
One alternative condition you could try:
col_date between least(:from_date, :to_date) and greatest(:from_date, :to_date)It won't warn the users, but will still allow the worksheet to return data.

Read Only Access while assigning Analysis Types and Reports in User/Group

Hi Team,
While Assigning Analysis Type,Reports and Workbooks to User "Read" option is not enabled. It is not working and as soon as we select analysis type ,Only one option is editable "Create/Update/Delete". The other two Option is always there as display "Read" and "Execute" . Execute might work with "Scripts template" but "READ" should work for analysis types and Reports.
We are already struggling with "Read Only" Access in security filter as its not working now.
Thanks
Edited by: user7918731 on Mar 2, 2011 11:22 AM

The behavior for Analysis type, workbook and script as follow:-
The Analysis type create/update/delete option will be enabled, read and execute option will be disabled by default.
The report workbook read option will be enabled, and other two options will be disabled.
The script execute option will be enabled, and other two option’s will be disabled.
For providing “Read Only” access in security filter, Switch to the administration tab, Click on Security Filters, Click on Add button, Open Create Security Filter window, Select the access level to Read Only and select user in assigned user , Click on ok.
It should work.

BI 7.01 BEx report/workbokTime_Out Errors

Hi,
Our BEx reports/workbooks are failing with time_out error's. Below are the time_out error details: BEx workbooks are executed through VB Script.
Some days they run fine and some days they time_out.
The program "CL_RSDRH_HIER_CACHE===========CP" has exceeded the maximum
permitted runtime without
interruption and has therefore been terminated.
Programs with long runtime should generally be started as background
jobs. If this is not possible, you can increase the system profile
parameter "rdisp/max_wprun_time".
Depending on the cause of the error, you may have to take one of the
following measures:
- Endless loop: Correct program;
- Dataset resulting from database access is too large:
Instead of "SELECT * ... ENDSELECT", use "SELECT * INTO internal table
(for example);
- Database has unsuitable index: Check index generation.
If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to
find an interim solution in an SAP Note.
If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following

I think this is quite easy.
Execute the report SAP_DROP_TMP_TABLES (via SE38 transaction) and the issue should be solved.
