BI reporting tool free or open source for adhoc reporting

Hi All, there is adhoc reporting option in jaspersoft server but it costs.
I want to know what is the cost of jasperserver and pentaho reporting tool for a single user and contact details to purchase it.
preferrably pentaho reporting software.

www.gentleware.com
Follow the bouncing link. The tool is called
Poseidon. The community edition is a free download,
the Professional version is not terribly expensive.
Cheers,
PSPoseidon is based on ArgoUML, which BSD licensed.
I'm currently using ArgoUML and I like, although it has
a lot of bugs that drive me nuts.

Adhoc Reporting: Webanalysis vs Financial Reporting Studio

Hi,
Our client is using Hyperion Planning 9.3.0.1 and currently the business users use Financial Reporting Studio for adhoc reporting. I am wondering if they can use Web Analysis to do this? Are there any performance issues if many users are using Webanalysis at the same time? Is there anything else that I need to keep in mind before advising the client?
Thanks and Regards,
Amol
Edited by: user638718 on Apr 7, 2009 5:28 PM

Hi,
Web Analysis is definitely aimed more towards adhoc reporting, it is just general adhoc reporting you can also use the excel addin and smartview.
I take it you are already licensed to use web analysis ?
Performance well that all depends on the load that is going to be put on the server, specs of machines, amount of concurrent users etc

Adhoc Reporting using Data Sources instead of Report Model

Hi Gurus,
I'm working on SSRS 2008. I'm trying to create Adhoc Report using Report Builder 3.0. To select Data Source, both *.rsds and *.smdl are listed. I selected a Data Source which points to a SQL database. When I add New datasets, I'm able to add the fields and
it automatically detect relationships (Joins) using Primary Key and Foreign Key defined in the tables. I'm also able to edit the query. I ran the report and it ran successfully.
My question is I couldn't find any documentation regarding using Data Source for Adhoc Reporting. MS SQL documentation and forums insists that Report Model is required for Adhoc Reporting.
Please let me know if someone tried to create Adhoc Report using Data Source instead of Report Model. While I understand there are more benefits using Report Model (define entities/attributes, show/hide entity/attributes, organize entities/attributes etc.),
I just want to know if this is possible.
Are there any known limitation using this method?
Thanks In Advance!

Hi Ereswaran,
Yes, we can create ad hoc report using report using data source instead of Report Model. Ad hoc reports typically are used to answer a specific question at appoint in time, so consequently people don’t spend a lot of time arranging and formatting the data
in a precise way. Other report development tools are available in Reporting Services to support more sophisticated reporting requirements.
Using Report Builder, we can build a simple report that display data form a single data source as defined by a report model. This tool is most useful for business users who need access to information but lack the skills to write a SQL query. If we have full
experience of SQL query, of course we can use data source instead of Report Model.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Best Data source for Crystal Reports

Hi Experts,
We have decided to use Crystal Reports 2008, for our project & advised to use BO Universe(based on Dimensional model) as data source against using the Dimensional tables directly(in Oracle).
Since the Universes are based on Dimensional model, typically I have to link two or three Universes for each report. I am concerned about the query performance time involved for the Universe approach vs. using the Dimensional tables directly.
I understand Universe as Meta-Data layer that hides all the database complexity from the end-user, and is a favorable option for Adhoc reports created by end users.
But for developers who are going to create 400 odd reports, I don't see any advantage that Universe brings, compared to linking the tables at Crystal Designer.
And we do not want to write customized Stored Procedures for every report, so our options are Universe/ Oracle tables.
Appreciate any help from you on helping my process.
Thanks.

IMHO, the Universe is fantastic for sophisticated end users (who have a general knowledge of logic or a logical mind) to build ad hoc reports. (Less sophisticated users should not be given the ability to design reports.) It should not be used for production reports that will run frequently, as performance can deteriorate quickly. (This is particularly true if you design the universe with the intent to build multiple reports off of one logical view. You tend to do a lot of extra work to gather data that is not needed for the task at hand. Our universe was designed this way - before I got here... I tend not to use it on new reports...)
There is no question in my mind that direct SQL will be the most performant way to develop the reports. In fact, I'd even suggest using SQL Commands as the basis for the reports so the database does all of the heavy lifting of table linking, record selection, sorting, and summarizing. That's what databases are built to do! (I know Crystal is supposed to push what it can to the database, but its definition of what the database can do is very generalized, so a lot ends up on the Crystal server.) This is particularly true if the Crystal server is not the same box as the database server; you don't want to pump huge volumes of data over the network! The downside to this is that some logic tends to get duplicated. This can be minimized by creating additional data (fields, tables, or aggregate tables) in the database, which are populated by one program (where the logic resides) and used by all of the reports. (For example, "definitions" based on data values should be table driven.)

What are Adhoc reports

Hi all,
What are Adhoc reports in HR?
Best Regards

Moderator Message: Interview questions are not allowed.
Edited by: kishan P on Nov 10, 2010 7:05 PM

Hi,
It may be difficult to provide a list of business scenarios across an enterprise where adhoc reports are used. However, In generic terms, adhoc reporting is used when your business users are not just information consumers, but are more of analysts having special reporting needs which are non-generic in nature, that BI teams can not provide pre-configured reports. (Typical scenarios where you have a global BW system and you want to let the local users create their local adhoc reports)
This, of course means, business users should have the requisite know-how to create reports and should be equipped with all relevant info( like authorizaions, rules for information dissemination etc.).
I always preferred creating queries at the most generic level and let the users create query views (instead of letting business users create adhoc reports).
Hope this helps.

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.

Need to generate a Index xml file for corresponding Report PDF file.
Currently in fusion we are generating a pdf file using given Rtf template and dataModal source through Ess BIPJobType.xml .
This is generating pdf successfully.
As per requirement from Oracle GSI team, they need index xml file of corresponding generated pdf file for their own business scenario.
Please see the following attached sample file .
PDf file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/BPA_Print_Trx-_output.pdf
Index file : https://kix.oraclecorp.com/KIX/uploads1/Jan-2013/354962/docs/o39861053.out.idx.txt
In R12 ,
     We are doing this through java API call to FOProcessor and build the pdf. Here is sample snapshot :
     xmlStream = PrintInvoiceThread.generateXML(pCpContext, logFile, outFile, dbCon, list, aLog, debugFlag);
     OADocumentProcessor docProc = new OADocumentProcessor(xmlStream, tmpDir);
     docProc.process();
     PrintInvoiceThread :
          out.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>");
               out.print("<xapi:requestset ");
               out.println("<xapi:filesystem output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + "\"/>");
               out.println("<xapi:indexfile output=\"" + outFile.getFileName() + ".idx\">");
               out.println(" <totalpages>${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}</totalpages>");
               out.println(" <totaldocuments>${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}</totaldocuments>");
               out.println("</xapi:indexfile>");
               out.println("<xapi:document output-type=\"pdf\">");
out.println("<xapi:customcontents>");
XMLDocument idxDoc = new XMLDocument();
idxDoc.setEncoding("UTF-8");
((XMLElement)(generator.buildIndexItems(idxDoc, am, row)).getDocumentElement()).print(out);
idxDoc = null;
out.println("</xapi:customcontents>");
     In r12 we have a privilege to use page number variable through oracle.apps.xdo.batch.ControlFile
          public static final String VAR_BEGIN_PAGE = "${VAR_BEGIN_PAGE}";
          public static final String VAR_END_PAGE = "${VAR_END_PAGE}";
          public static final String VAR_TOTAL_DOCS = "${VAR_TOTAL_DOCS}";
          public static final String VAR_TOTAL_PAGES = "${VAR_TOTAL_PAGES}";
Is there any similar java library which do the same thing in fusion .
Note: I checked in the BIP doc http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/e18863/javaapis.htm#CIHHDDEH
          Section 7.11.3.2 Invoking Processors with InputStream .
But this is not helping much to me. Is there any other document/view-let which covers these thing .
Appreciate any help/suggestions.

ABAP HR-test scenario for payslip-urgent

Hi,
please send me some test scenarios for payslip by which payslip can be affected.
I have designed a PAyslip with retro and i want to test it.
eg. retro. means if retro will run then it will affect payslip.
Also send me some unit test cases in case of any payslip requirement.
Points will be rewarded.
Regards
Monika

Hi,
Just give an entry in infotype 8, 14 or 15 for previous month and run the payroll than retro will run, than compare results using wage type reporter.
When you run the payroll give the sandard SAP Remuneration and compare the results in the SAP payslip and payslip you have developed.
If you have developed payslip using PE51 than the retro amounts are picked authomatically.

Ramu N.

How to move all the standard and adhoc reports from cube to multi provider

How to move all the standard and adhoc reports from the basic cube to multi provider?
i created this multiprovider to do the maintenence on the basic cube. for example the infocube physical partition, line item dimension and compression.
what we decided to do is move all the Standard and ad-hoc reports from the basic cube to the multiprovider. How to do it? and make a copy of the basic cube and do the maintenence on the cube. please help.
Thanks in advance sdn experts!

Hi Les,
This sounds good and one thing we try to always keep in mind when undertaking such activities is to always minimise the impact to the user and make the process as transparent to them as possible. So lets say you have your multiprovider and copied queries up in Prod, these queries will still pick up the data from the base cube.
Now you need to make a copy of the base cube for some changes to the cube model, I would suggest that you copy the cube and make your changes on the copied cube itself. Then 9depending on the changes done) you can load data from Original Cube to New Cube. When this is being done, make sure that you change your queries to add a restriction on 0INFORPOV by Original Cube.
After the load to the new cube is complete you can run reports restricted to each cube to verify the numbers. Then change the 0INFOPROV restriction in the queries to point to the New Cube and disengage the old cube from the multiprovider.
Hope this helps...

Rolling month for webi report using Univ based on BEX Query

Dear Experts,
I'm new to OLAP universes.
We have a requirements of having last 12 months rolling for given measure(Key figure) in webi report using Univ based on Bex Query.
We require a calmonth (time dimension) object (restricted for last 12 months) where user can drag and drop on column section of cross-tab table. User should drag more than one Key figure ( for ex. sales rev and & qty sold) for each month
Could you please provide me the solution to do this?
Thanks
Akshara

Hi Henry,
Thank you for your response.
BEx query has not been created yet. we need to create accordingly and require your help in creating the same.
Regarding reporting requirements, User wants to have adhoc reporting with rolling months ( 12 months or 6 months) functionality. Users want to link any KF to this rolling months dimension.
If we can't have this, what is the alternative that we can propose to user.
Thanks
Akshara.
