Report developed in 6i and open and run in 10g, Web Layout is not working

Hi,
Initially reports were developed in Reports 6i now we need to convert into 10g. I just opened the .rdf in Reports10g. Report is successfully running in paper layout and showing the data. But when i try to run the report in Web Layout im getting a BLANK INTERNET EXPLORER SCREEN. Why is it so? What should i do to run my report successfully in Web Layout? When i see Web Source, i am seeing the below code,
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/lib/reports_tld.jar" prefix="rw" %>
<%@ page language="java" import="java.io.*" errorPage="/rwerror.jsp" session="false" %>

Report Developer Control Of Applying Hints to Analytics Queries

There are numerous ways to apply hints to the queries generated by Analytics:
- Table level
- Join level
- Evaluate calculation
Each has its advantages and drawbacks.
- Table level: applies the hint to every query that references the table.
- Join level: applies the hint whenever the join is used in the query.
- Evaluate: allows the report developer to include a hint, but can't control where Analytics decides to apply the hint.
I propose another method for the report developer to apply hints, when needed, that uses join level hints. All the report developer
does is add the hint column to the Answer or add a filter based on the hint column to the Answer to apply the hint.
Setup
NOTE: I suggest you do consistency checks along the way, especially before starting work in the next Layer, to be sure that all setup errors are resolved early.
1) Start by defining a Logical SQL table in the Physical Layer using the following SQL: Select 1 Hint from dual
2) Alias this table for each hint to be defined for report developer usage. As an example, alias the hint table, creating
No Star and Parallel alias tables.
3) Join each alias to the physical layer fact tables, using a complex join, where the hint could be applied. In the Join definition screen, put the hint in the HINT field and enter 1=1 for
in the Expression section. Yes, we are creating a cartesian join between the hint and the other joining table. As the hint table always returns one and only one row, there
is no effect on the rows returned by the query. For No Star, you
put NO_STAR_TRANSFORMATION in the Hint field. For Parallel, you put PARALLEL(<physical table name>, default, default), where the physical table name
is the name of the actual database table, not the name of the alias table (Analytics will put the alias in the place of the database table name
when it generates the SQL). Additionally, for hints that have no parameters, you only need to join it
to the Fact tables in a query and not necessarily the dimensions. If you include fields from multiple fact tables, the hint will be applied
for each fact table. So, you may see the hint multiple times in the SQL (something like SELECT /*+ NO_STAR_TRANSFORMATION NO_STAR_TRANSFORMATION */ t00001.col1...)
4) Add the hint alias tables to the BMM Layer.
5) Rename the Hint field in each of the BMM hint tables to identify the hint being applied. For No Star, change the column name from Hint to No Star Hint. For Parallel,
change the column name from Hint to Parallel Hint.
6) Set the hint column as a key.
7) Join the BMM hint tables to the appropriate fact tables, using a complex join.
8) Define each hint table as a dimension.
9) Set the Logical Level in the Content tab in each of the sources of the joined tables to use the Detail of the hint dimension.
10) Create a folder in the Presentation Layer called Hints
11) Place each BMM hint field into the Presentation Layer Hints folder.
To apply a hint to your Answer, either add the Hint field to your Answer or create a filter where the Hint field is equal to/is in 1 (the number one). Check that the SQL generated
contains the hint, in Answers, go into Administration, Session Manager, and view the log for the user (the user log level will need to have been set to 7 to see the SQL generated).
Use of hints in more complex setups can be done by performing a setup of the hints that is parallel to the fact table setup. As an example, if you specify fragmentation content and a where
clause in your BMM for your fact tables, you would setup parallel physical layer hint tables and joins, BMM objects and joins, fragmentation content, and where clauses based on the
hint tables (only hint tables are referenced in the where clause).
As any database person knows, hints can either help or degrade the performance of queries. So, taking the SQL of the pre-hint Answer and figuring out which hints give the best
performance is suggested, prior to adding the hint fields/filters to the Answer.

Hi Oliver,
I would suggest you to have a look at the below WLST script which would give you the required report of the active threads and it would be send an email too.

Reports developed in SSRS 2008 r2 cannot be uploaded to SSRS 2008

Reports developed in SSRS 2008 r2 cannot be uploaded to SSRS 2008
ERROR ON REPORT MANAGER:
The report definition is not valid. Details: The report definition has an invalid target namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2010/01/reportdefinition' which cannot be upgraded. (rsInvalidReportDefinition)
I tried to upload a ssrs 2008 report made in r2 to 2008 it doesnt upload on report manager nor opens in bids 2008 .
Above is the error I got .
Is there any thing i need to do to make it work or we just cant achieve this functionality?
Mudassar

Nope. I dont think you would be able to open a higher version report on a lower versions client tool as it is. However you can do this small workaround and make it work most times
http://usmantjiudri.wordpress.com/2009/08/18/converting-ssrs-2008-r2-rdl-back-to-ssrs-2008-version/
The inverse would always work fine as reports gets auto upgraded.

Calling a Web Service in Oracle Report Developer 10g?

Hello,
Does Oracle Report Developer 10g supports Web Services (calls) or XML files as a Data Source?
If yes. From what version?
Thanks.

ok, so you have at least 2 solutions:
1. you get the data into a loop through your Java array.
2. you use the EXEC_SQL package function to create a dynamic SQL cursor
Select ... from the_table where code in ('c1', ..., 'cn')Francois

Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager

Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager?
when I check on Microsoft site it says
Reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server
or SharePoint site. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.
When you open an .rdl file in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), if the report was
created for a previous namespace, Report Designer automatically creates a backup file and upgrades the report to the current namespace.
This is the only way you can upgrade a report definition file.
Now here is another confusing statement which says
You can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server
2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. The report server stores the report definition file in the original format. The report is automatically upgraded the first time it is viewed, but the stored report definition file remains
unchanged.
All I want to know is if I deploy a rdl made in 2008 r2 to 2012 will it work on the report manager of
2012?
<o:p>
</o:p>
Mudassar

I have tested this fucntionality and can confirm that ssrs 2008 r2 reports work when you deploy them on new ssrs 2012 report manager .
No Migration is required .
I didnt even moved report server dbs .All I did is just deployed reports on the report manager and it worked .
"You
can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server 2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. "
Microsoft needs to correct this the documentation is misleading

Parsing a string in Oracle Reports Developer

What this will be used for is just to have a web page allow input of the name and PID so that a simple printout of those items will show up on the .rdf.
I have a string named "Remote_Host" stored in a txt file:
https://my.portal.shands.ufl.edu/portal/page/portal/SHCEMPAUTH&fNAME=ITH,MARY&PID=100000958135
What I need from that string is Name =ITH,MARY AND PID = 100000958135
How do I do this in Oracle Reports developer utilizing the progam unit?

Crystal Reports Developer XI shuts down when trying to run a report

I have been using Crystal Reports in my office since 2005 without any problems.
However, recently when previewing reports in the Developer edition of Crystal Reports XI I have experienced a problem. After logging onto the databases and selecting the parameters, instead of displaying the report the application closes. This only occurs on a few of my reports, I have not made any changes to these reports and up until now they have been working without error.
The only change to the operating environment has been a recent upgrade to Windows XP.
Any suggestions for a fix?

Naveen,
The reports where developed in the current version.
There isn't any other version installed on the machine.
I only have Crystal Reports Developer XI installed on 1 machine in the office. The reports are loaded in the Business Objects Management Console and available for other office staff to run from the Business Objects Viewer. The reports run OK from the viewer.
I have tried un-installing Crystal Reports Developer XI and re-installing it already - the problem still occurred.
There are a number of faulty reports, some query 1 database others only 1 database, some have SQL tables others do not, most of them have subreports, formula fields, parameter fields, and group name fields, 1 also has a running total field.
Most of the reports I have created are similar but have different selections.
Thanks for your help, hope we can find a solution.
Ann.

FUNCTIONAL SPEC FOR ABAP REPORT DEVELOPMENT

Thanks

Hi,
Functional Specification is written by the functional consultants to give to the ABAPers where there will write technical specifications to meet the requirement.
Regarding your issue, u have to first know
whats the requirement is
when to start with either T.Code and
at what field
who are authorized to do that
How we do that
How this integrated with other modules
what implications it is going to reflect in other modules

Request for sample reports developed using report designer

Hi All,
Request for sample reports developed using report designer.
Thanks

Ramesh,
right now there really is no way to solve what you are looking for. There partial solutions, but you will not be able to force a page break in a dynamic report.
Here is what I have faced, and what I have come up with so far:
I have a series of reports that have the same column heading, but spread over 5 pages in a fixed structure. I need to be able to re-use the header and the general report design with 6 reports. Here is my solution:
1. Create an outline of the report. I did all the formatting by creating a report section for each page. You can force page breaks between the pages. Upgrade to patch 1502 (came out last week) and you will see some new functionality (such as fit to page, page numbers, etc).
2. Insert all you page breaks and do all the formatting.
3. Insert an infoprovider. Once in, you can just drag and drop the key figure cells into your formatted report.
4. Create additional modification for formatting as needed.
This fixes my problem (for now), but I had to do a lot of work to come up with this. Also, the latest patch (1501 and 1502) has created an issue for me - there is a null exception when I try to use a variable or a filter value in the report body - I can't save the report. I have an OSS message out, but our BASIS guys are going to be taking the lead on troubleshooting this.
The reason that you are seeing some customers on the new pages is probably because of "how the cookie falls" - they just fit that way.
I am trying to be positive and overcome the limitations that are in place right now. If my technical issue is solved, I would recommend upgrading to the new patch (1403 is the latest stable one in my opinion)
good luck
Pavel

Need to find the table of RV45A-ETDAT for Report Development

Hi Everyone,
I need to bring a field on a custom report - 'First Date' in the Sales Order at item level.
It is populated with a structure RV45A and the field is ETDAT.
Apparrently this field is not directly stored in the sales order related database table like VBAP.
Kindly advise on how to find 'from where to pick this field value' for a custom report development.
Thank you very much for your help.
Hemant

Hi,
The field ETDAT field is not stored in any SAP Table.
Probably the field ETDAT in your structure RV45A is populated with data at runtime and that data might be reassigned to some other field.
You can check the same only in debugging the standard code of that transaction.
Reward if helpful.
Warm Regards

PDF Export Output in Crystal Reports Developer 10 vs. Crystal Reports Developer XI

Hi -- First post here, so forgive newbish behavior (at least for today)Quick question:Why does my output differ (margins and image size) for the same report exported to PDF via Crystal Reports Developer 10 vs. Crystal Reports Developer XI? It's the same report with the same data and same design. When XI is compared to 10, the output in XI seems to remove an extra 1/4-inch on the left, right, top, and bottom margins and makes my images shrink by about a factor of 25%.While not the end of the world, it would be nice to get an explanation as to why this happens.Thanks in advance,Amasis

Â I personally haven't noticed that myself but I'm sure it will have been reported to Customer Care if it's a more persistent issue.Â Have you tried looking this up in the Knowledge Base?

Total No of pages different in report printed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8)

Currently in our application, we are using Crystal Report XI R2 for generating the reports. We are in the process of upgrading the Crystal Report to SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). I updated that on my machine and all the reports work fine. I didn't have to modify any of the reports.
However when comparing the reports, we found that there are few reports on which the total no. of pages differ from the report displayed using Crystal Report XI R2 vs SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio (File Version 13.8). Comparing the reports, it looks all the data that were fit on one page earlier with version XI R2 doesn't fit on the same page with version 13.8, thereby increasing the page counts.
The fonts, page margins everything set on report itself. Nothing being set in the code.
Both the application is using the same report that is pulling the data from the same database. Our application is a web application.
Any suggestion, why this is happening.
Thanks.
Sanjay

I am not sure what is being compared here?
CRXI R2 designer to CRVS?
CR XI R2 in some version of .NET to CRVS?
CR XI R2 using RDC SDK to CRVS?
Also, is this happening on your development computer or after you deploy?
If you compare the the "Page setup" options dialog between reports that work and those that do not work, do you see any difference?
Is this a web or a win app?
Are you seeing the same issue when viewing and exporting - say export to PDF?
What is the printer driver used and it's version?
