Scheduled Reports Output Format

Dear All,
Does anyone know how I can schedule WEBI reports in the same formats as crystal reports? I currently use BOXI r3.
The current WEBI options are only:
Web Intelligence
Excel
Adobe Acrobat
Where the crystal options are:
MS Excel
MS Word
PDF
RTF
TXT
TTX
CSV
XML
I need to be able to schedule a series of WEBI reports in csv & txt formats to an FTP location.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

I believe the only option for WEBI reports output formats are Web Intelligence, Microsoft Excel and Adobe Acrobat.
We have been having problems with scheduled reports output format in Excel. WEBI report's page layout is set to Legal and Landscape. But, MS Excel does not keep the same WEBI page layout margins for legal and landscape, and the report does not fit to page on Excel. WEBI formatting works best on Adobe Acrobat.
We opened a ticket with SAP... their response was it is a known issue with no solution.

Add CSV file as Scheduled Report Output Format

Is there any option in BOXI R2 and R3 - Add CSV file as Scheduled Report Output Format. If not, how do we achieve this?

Changing Oracle Report Output Format at runtime

Dear All,
I've custom Oracle Report in Oracle Apps., and would like to give the users an option to select the output format (XML, TEXT, PDF, etc.) whilst submitting the request.
As a SYSADMIN, we can modify the Output Format value of the concurrent program(Oracle Report in this case) to one we like.
But I would like the user to select this output format option at runtime, rather then hard coding at SYSADMIN level. For that I've to create a Value Set with the desired report output format options, and attach this to the concurrent program.
My question is, how we can make the desired output format to work at runtime?
If any one can help?
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Steve,
I couldn't get it...???
I'm running an Oracle Report in Oracle Apps. release 11.5.9
The default output format of this report is TEXT, which is defined in its concurrent program.
This report is submitted using standard request submission screen, and after successful completion we can view the output by pressing "View Output" button on "Requests" screen. This will open an another window and we can view the output page by page. Using "Tools>Copy File..." menu option, we can view the same output in IE window.
Now, how does your resolution fits here and how can I view the same report in XML format?
Many Thanks,
Sandeep

Scheduling Report output to a Database Table

Hi,
Scenario:
I have a RPT - loaded on the BO server (BO XI R2) - (which uses a stored procedure and a formula to populate the report) which generates the data in a tabular format.
Requirement:
I would like to insert the resultant rows generated in the report to a database.
Is there a possibility to schedule a report output to a database table?

It seems that what you want to do is some kind of ETL, you should consider a right tool for doing this. For example, BusinessObjects Data Integrator. By BODI, you can directly transform the source data to what you need to the destination.
If you still need the report for presentation, rather than purely using it as a transformation tool, I suggest you do this. Implement a Java program (.NET is also possible) to implement the Program interface, so that you Java program can be added to BusinessObjects Enterprise as a program object. In this Java program, what you do is: first, schedule the report, and then open the report, read the row sets and insert them to the destination table. This process involves the Business Objects Enterprise SDK and the Report Application Server SDK.
Finally, you can in turn schedule this program objects, so that it will periodically run the report and output to the destination table.

Scheduled Report Output to Printer

Hi Guys,
hope you are all well.
Can someone help me. I am have created a report and set this to be schedule at X time. I need the report output via Business Objects XI to be to Printer.
I have set up a printer and set it as a shared printer on the same server BO runs on. I have also set the printer to Default. When I schedule the report and set the Print Settings to Default Printer it does not print...no error messages...but no print. Helppppp as I am going mad.
Many thanks

We just recently migrated to XI R2 on a new server, and did not consider the print settings...until a user noticed they could not print like normal
We recreated the printers on the new server, and people could then choose a specific printer now. (We named the printers the same as the print ID on the server.)
However, people could not choose Default Printer in Infoview (during Schedule). When they chose it, the report would be successful, but we were not sure where the output would go.
I found a few articles on Knowledge base, and I think #1 and #2 may be our best alternatives.
1202786 - A Crystal report printed through InfoView does not use the default printer on the client computer
1203768 - The default printer is not chosen when printing from Infoview
This last one seems little drastic - all scheduled reports on a jobs server would take the behavior of the job server. This seems excessive.
1217095 - Report does not print when scheduled to printer in Crystal Enterprise or BusinessObjects Enterprise
Article #1 &2 will require retooling of the rpt files, but we plan to address the user issues on a per report basis.

Reports output format

Hi all,
How to save a report output in "RTF" format in client system..
As I set the REPORT_DESFORMAT to 'RTF'
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'RTF')
I'm unable to see the report in client machine as they appear in reports cache folder on server.
my server os is windows server 2008 and my client os is windows 7.
Thanks & Regards...

You cannot save a file directly to a client PC. After running the report you have to open the generated file in the browser (with web.show_document, plenty of examples in this forum) and the user can then save the document on his PC.

APEX Report Output Formats

In the SQL Workshop query builder can the output of these queries be changed to HTML or ASCII? We have WEBDB running and are able to change the output formats at run time.

Hello Andy,
The APEX Query Builder was not designed as a report generator. It’s main purpose is to allow novice users to create SQL queries in a bit more friendly manner. After testing the validity of the query, with the displayed format type, you should actually copy the generated SQL code into an appropriate page region, like a report region.
The configuration options of this specific tool are very limited, and as far as I know, the kind of things you are asking for can’t be done in this version. One of the major additions to APEX 4.0 will be something (I don’t know the final name for it) that will allow you to do the sort of things you are asking for.
>> Also cant he number of records that are displayed by increased to say 1000 or 4000 rather then 15?
You can’t change the displayed number of records in the Query Builder. A possible work around can be to copy the SQL query into the SQL Commands. There you can control the number of displayed records.
Regards,
Arie.
&diams; Please remember to mark appropriate posts as correct/helpful. For the long run, it will benefit us all.

Diagnostic Reporter Output Format?

Hello; I've just begun working with the Diagnostic Reporter piece that comes with the StorEdge 3x00 software, and I've generated reports and notifications in both XML and non-XML format.
I have no XML experience; when I receive the report in XML format, and I attempt to open in IE, it displays the XML coding for the report. If I open it in Firefox, it also displays the coding, but includes an error at the bottom saying that there "appears to be no style sheet" available for this XML file.
If I use the non-XML format, the report comes in a jumbled plain-text format. Some sections are tidy enough to be read, others aren't.
I've gone through Sun support, and the group that I was directed to stated that no one on their team has any experience with the Diagnostic Reporter tool.
Does anyone have any tools or tips for how to read or reformat the Diagnostic Reporter output? Thanks!

Hi,
While defining Template you have defined the output format as pdf,so edit the template and output format Excel.
Thanks & Regards

Report output format run in background

Hi All,
when I am running any report containing large volume of data in background,report
output is coming only of 10 pages by default.Even when exporting to desktop,data
of only 10 pages are being exported.While my data is of around 1000 pages.Every
time I am going to "settings" button & entering last page no such as 1000 & first
page no as 1.System is giving message as " Displaying 1000 pages could casue a memory
loss". After long time ,report output is coming & after exporting to desktop in
spreadsheet form,data is coming hapazardly .That is not in proper form like the one
if we export from report output run in foreground. Such as IH08 t-code.In case of
forground,each information ( field) comes in one column,but in case of background not
like that.
My requirement is how can we make display all the pages by default & while
exporting to desktop,how can we export so that each information(fields) seats
in one column like in case of forground run report output.Also why the message"
"Displaying 1000 pages could casue a memory loss" is coming.
Thanks in advance
Rgds
Rajib

To avoid memory overflow SAP display only first 10 pages of spool request.
However this value can be change, at risk of running out of memory, on 'list of Spool Request screen' using menu goto->display requests->setting.

Pawan.

How to Schedule Report Output in EXCEL (.cvs) format for Planning 11.1.2.1

Hi all,
I'm using Planning 11.1.2.1 for entering data and generating reports manually via Workspace. I wanna set up an automation process with a batch scheduler.
I've gone over the documentation. I've read about creating batches first then scheduling batches next.
However, the biggest issue I have is that I want to extract all my reports into EXCEL Spreadsheet (.cvs) format and according to the docs, it only supports output in PDF or HTML for 11.1.2.1.
Is this true? Is there a way to work around this by using Business Rules at command prompt?
Thanks,
N

If you have the Financial Report open there are two options:
- in the bottom right hand corner of the report click the link: "Export In Query ready Mode"
(this opens the report so you can use it as an Excel retrieve)
- from the Hyperion menu, select File>Export>Excel
(this exports the headers as objects and the data grid, so you can manipulate in Excel).
Cheers, Iain

APEX BIP report query output format - not able to set with a variable

I have a Named Columns (RTF) report that is working great, but I can't control the output format with a variable. I can set the "Output Format" in the Report Query Attributes, but it doesn't work when I set the report output format to "Derive from item". No matter what the item contains, I always get PDF output. I can see the variable in my session, but it doesn't control the output format. I have tried using the values "xml", "XML", "rtf", and "RTF".
Any help would be appreciated...

My guess is that an exception is being thrown for some rows. Since you've stubbed out your catch phrase to do nothing you're not going to have any visibility into what exception was thrown. You need to put some kind of logging in the catch phrase to see
what is happening.

Report output to excel

Hello friends
There is a report which gets generated when an IDOC is recieved, a spool request is generated in which this report is there in a particular output formate, the user wants that as it is generated it should be downloaded in excel sheet in that formate only.
I am unable to get that formate as many FORM are involved in that report output formate because of which I cannot directly download the internal table.
Thanks in advance

Another way to do that is whenever it is writing something to spool in your various FORMs...add a line next to it to append the same information in an internal table. Finally, download the particular internal table to xls using GUI_DOWNLOAD.
example...
in your form..
write : / itab-xyz, itab-abc.
u can add the following line
concatenate itab-xyz itab-abc into itext-line separated by space.
append itext.
at the end of the report.
call function 'gui_download'
   exporting
      filename = 'c:\test.xls'
      filetype = 'WK1'
   tables
      data_tab = itext.
