Problem accessing scheduled report results

Hi,
I was able to schedule a Disco report successfully. From Disco desktop scheduling manager, I was monitoring the results. After the status says "Report ready", I clicked the "Open" button.
For the first dialog message "Do you want to open the results of this sheet? If you click No the sheet will be empty.", I clicked Yes button.
Then I get the second dialog message "The results run for this scheduled workbook can no longer be used because the query has changed. Do you want to query the database now for the new results?". What does this message mean? Nothing has changed in the report or database or EUL since I scheduled this report. I have been getting this message for all my scheduled reports and it defeats the purpose of scheduling.
Does anybody know what this message means and how can I resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am only guessing here but is it possible that the update date on your workbooks has got set in the future. Hence, when the schedule report finishes it checks the update date of the workbook and thinks that the workbook has been updated because it was updated after the schedule report has finished. It then prompts you to re-query for the results.
If you create a new workbook and schedule it do you get the same problem?

Using web.show_doc u can only display the reports. If you want it to be stored in the server, you can use run_report_object.

How can I export the report to Excel or CSV format in Rational(Java)?

Dear all,Now I develop CR report integrate with Web application, I use Ratioanl(RAD) to develop. And I want to export the report to Excel/CSV format, but always failed.If I force it export CSV file in the system, when I use MS office to open this CSV file, the file content is bad.Could any one tell me how to achieve this? Many thanks!Steven

CR4E is bundled with RAD 7...actually to be clear it is a version of CR4E Professional. Users of RAD 7 will also get a dev/test license of CR Server as well as number of additional features to support developing applications against their BusinessObjects Enterprise or Crystal Reports Server systems. For more information regarding the RAD 7 launch you can read the press release here:<a href="http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/061205/20061205005363.html?.v=1">http://biz.yahoo.com/bw/061205/20061205005363.html?.v=1</a> I am hoping to do a webinar in January highlighting a number of the new features available with the IBM Rational Application Developer integration.As for RAD 6 support, unfortunately the CR4E toolkit does require Eclipse 3.2 support so it will not work with RAD 6.

Scheduled Reports results by Command Line

I have several reports that I schedule to run nightly in Discoverer 10G Desktop. How can I open the scheduled results using Command Line? Once open, I want to export the results as Excel. I can do a unscheduled report using the code below:
\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect username/password@report /apps_user /apps_responsibility "responsiblity name" /opendb "report name" /sheet "Exception Report" /parameter "parameter name" 'parameter value' /export XLS C:\TEMP\testexport1.xls
Is it possible to retrieve the scheduled results? How much of this could be done at command line and how much would have to be done in a third party scheduler?
Thanks.

Hi,
How can I open the scheduled results using Command Line? Is it possible to retrieve the scheduled results?No, I don't think it is possible to retrieve scheduled results from the command line.
How much of this could be done at command line and how much would have to be done in a third party scheduler? It would be better to do it all using a third party scheduler such as the windows task manager. You could schedule the export to run overnight using the task manager and a windows command file. You can search this forum or the LearnDiscoverer blog for more details on third party scheduling.

Unable to generate Pdf report for crystal 9/10 in Windows 2012 (Standard) server with Times New Roman font. With same font, report getting generated in excel, text, csv format in Windows 2012.

For Times New Roman font in Windows server 2012 R2 (Standard), crystal 9/10 report in pdf format is not getting generated. When we change the font for specific report like Arial, Calibri , Cambria then pdf report getting created.
In Windows 2008 R2, same application worked fine to generate pdf report for TimesNewRoman font and there is no change done in the application which is being used in Windows 2012 R2 server.

Ok, thanks for the reply. You need to contact support or a forum for the Crystal software. Third party products don't usually include Adobe technology, they have their own software. When you contact them, you may want to expand "unable to generate" to give any specific symptoms including any error messages.

Crystal Report Server - Scheduled Reports Have Failed - SMTP_E_TCPSOCKET_SE

Hi,
Recently, several scheduled reports have failed with the error message "server error. CrystalEnterprise.Smtp: SMTP_E_TCPSOCKET_SEND(3)". It happens randomly, to different reports at different times. Can anyone let me know what information does this need to troubleshoot. Thanks!
Senthil

Hi
I would like to suggest you following things:
1) Please check the SMTP settings on the respective report's job server. Like Severname of the SMTP
server. Port number of the SMTP and domain.
2) Check whether are you able to send the mails from mail client to the desired destination.
3) Verify the Port number given to the SMTP, by default it is 25. And also verify it is not blocked on the
firewall.
4) Also verify whether ip address of the server machine where job server is installed is included in the
allowed list at the SMTP server end.

Hello Senthil,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.

SCHEDULED REPORT RUNS FINE BUT UNABLE TO PULL UP THE RESULTS

Hello all,
I can create a new report in against Discoverer with no problem. The report can be run as a scheduled report....and the
results pulled up with no problem.
EXISTING reports that were converted during our 9i to 10G can be scheduled and run. However, when the user attempts to see
the results they receive an error message stating:
The results run for this scheduled workbook can no longer be used because the query has been changed.
Do you want to query the database for the new results?
After installing a patch some of the workbooks were able to be retrieved. It seems like there is some commonality in the workbooks that don't seem to work from the scheduled reports. It seems that any workbook that has an admin created calculation in the EUL as one of the selected fields or as a condition of the report, causes a problem.
If anyone of you came across this situation please guide us.
Thanks
Manohar

Hi Manohar
By resaving I mean opening the workbook in Plus then clicking the Save button to force Discoverer to save a clean copy. You should then reschedule this and see what happens.
Here's another trick from way back in the early days of Discoverer that might help. You said that the issue was with an admin created calculation. So, try this:
Create a brand new calculation in your workbook and load the admin calculation into it. Then change all references for the admin calculation, conditions etc, to point at the new calculation.
Believe it or not, this trick can sometime force Discoverer to work when it otherwise will not. At any rate, its worth a try don't you think?

"Numbers stored as text" error in Excel when I schedule a report

Dear all,
When I schedule a report, I got a "Numbers stored as text" error in Excel.
But when I save as xls directly from webI, I have no error in the excel sheet.
So, is it a bug ? I have the BO XI 4.0 version.
Or is there a special option to set concerning schedule ?
Mike.

Hi,
First check the object data type in webi. Normally this error will come when object/variable data type is Text in the report.
If you are getting this error with object data type number then add 0 in the object and see.
Like =[Object] + 0
It will force the value to be converted in the number.

Share results of scheduled reports

Is there a way to share results of scheduled reports at the time they are scheduled? I have found a way to share the results after the report is finished but I need the results shared without going back in to share them. I am trying to schedule reports to run on a routine basis and allow someone else to download the results in my absence. Any suggestions?

User12248590,
You might also want to consider implementing some variation of Rod West's method of scheduling using Oracle Application's concurrent manager (this assumes you are using Oracle Apps). Here is a link to his paper on this, http://ascbi.com/downloads/Third%20Party%20Documents/Scheduling%20through%20Concurrent%20Manager.pdf.
This is the most elegant, robust approach I have seen to this problem of wanting to set-up the sharing at the time that one schedules a workbook.

Scheduled report issue

Hi,
I scheduled a work book with multiple worksheets in discoverer 4.1.47. After scheduling when am I opening, I found there is a sheet with no data. I checked the query from SQL inspector and its not showing the original query and its showing the below query . I normally opened the worksheet from discoverer desktop and its showing the query correctly, where as in scheduled report SQL inspector is showing the below..
Remaing all sheets are scheduled correctly.
Please let me know, why
SELECT BRVC2 as E_300, BRVC1 as E_308, BRVC3 as E214082, BRN1 as E214083, BRN2 as E214094, BRN3 as E214095, BRVC4 as E214097, BRVC5 as E214098, BRN4 as E214099, BRVC6 as E214100, BRVC7 as E214101, BRVC8 as E214103, BRVC9 as E214106, BRVC10 as E214107, BRVC11 as E214109, BRN5 as E214110, BRVC12 as E214111, BRN6 as E214112, BRN7 as E214114, BRVC13 as E214115, BRVC14 as E214116, BRD1 as E214127, BRVC15 as E214130, BRVC16 as E214131, BRVC17 as E214144, BRVC18 as E214146, BRVC19 as E215360 FROM APPS.EUL4_B100714054016Q2R1;

Hi Uma
In standard Discoverer, when you create and run a worksheet the results are created dynamically. This means that the data is only available within the session that is running the worksheet. More importantly, the data is NOT available to any other worksheet whether within that session or not. However, if you use a scheduled workbook then the results from the worksheet are held in a temporary table until you remove the results or you delete the scheduled workbook.
Tables look like this: EUL5_B060914015847Q1R1
Views look like this: EUL5_B060914015847Q1V1
Note: these temporary tables are stored within the schema of the user who owns the workbook - not within the standard EUL schema. The format of the table is as follows:
EUL5_B060914015847Q1R1 which can be broken into six separate pieces.
These pieces are as follows:
EUL5_ B YYMMDD HHMISS Q9 R9, where
EUL5_ is a fixed name
B means Batch and is a constant
YYMMDD is the date that the worksheet was run,
HHMISS is the time when the worksheet was run, the time is in the 24 hour clock format,
Q9 means this is the letter Q followed by a number - E.g. Q1, which signifies the query number. I believe Oracle have some plans to allow multiple queries but for now this is always Q1,
R9 means this is the letter R followed by a number - E.g. R1, R2 and so on. This is the run number.
Using the above logic therefore, here is your example: APPS.EUL4_B100714054016Q2R1
This means this is result set number 1 for query 2, run at 5:50:16 AM on 14th July 2010.
So if you can figure out which worksheet was scheduled and when it was run you can build a view that sits on top of the latest table to give you the latest results. Something else which adds interest here is that the column names within the table do not match the column names as in your original query. The scheduled results column names use generic names such as BRVC1, BRVC2, BRD1, BRD2, BRN1 and BRN2.
These are codes and can be interpreted as follows:
BRCV1 and BRCV2 mean Batch Result Varchar (aka string) 1 and 2,
BRD1 and BED2 mean Batch Result Date 1 and 2,
BRN1 and BEN2 mean Batch Result Number 1 and 2
In SQL, try this: SELECT * FROM APPS.EUL4_B100714054016Q2R1 - do you see anything? If yes, there is data in the result set. If no, this means Discoverer found no data when it ran the scheduled workbook.
If you have no data in the results you have to determine why. Perhaps you are pulling from a secure view using a specific responsibility that was needed get at the data? A responsibility that would be needed during the scheduled run.
Hopefully this helps
Best wishes
Michael
