Task list Report Generation

Hi ,
Please let me know if the following are feasible while generating the tasklist report.
1. Can we Generate the tasklist report from the system by scenario . Is there any workaround to get this reoport from backend tables ?
2. Task list report shows stats for every user who belong to the selected group. Can we limit this view so the report summarizes by the group instead of individual user.
Thanks & Regards,
Vijaya Koppolu

Hi,
I think you posted in wrong place. Please post in Planning and Budgeting forum to get a better answer.
To answer your question, I was trying to genarate Workflow reports from Backend. But I could not get the usernames from Backend tables as it is not saved for MSAD users. For MSAD users planning schema saves a URL instead of username.

Issue in task list report

hi all,
my user want a report of task list requirement is listed below
user fills task list in order generated automatically. they want to get the report of task list filled against order no and equipment. is it possible through standard reports or i have to do developments for the same.

Dear Ansh
Your requiremnt is not a straight fit solution coming from SAP provided standard reports like IW38, IW39, IW40,IW37N or IW49 as stated in above replies.
I remember a blog posted some time ago for a similar requirement. Here is the link, go through the link and u will find the exact solution.

Report Generation task error

I'm using report generation VI's to generate my report (standard report). If I make an application at my development PC (LV 6.0.2 Win-NT 4.0 SP6; application builder 6) and start the EXE-file, there are no problems. I transfer the software (installer) to the target PC (Win-NT 4.0 SP6; run time engine 6.0.2) and start the print subroutine in my program. When I leave the application I have still the LV-Task in the Win-NT task list. I have to start the task manager to stop it. It happens only if I use the print subroutine ( with the report generation VI's) in my program. I made a test with the same subroutine but switched to html output, the task list is emty after leaving the program. Do you have any idea?

try re-compiling the report generation vi's (ctrl+alt+run button) then re-create your exe.

SmartView Task List not opening FR report

I am trying to open FR report from a Task List task in SmartView (using Planning provider). If I am already logged into my Planning application in browser, the report opens. But if I am not logged (e.g., browser is closed), an empty page opens in browser, and at the bottom is status "Done" but with the error icon.
Is there a way (URL format) that would enable user to open report from SmartView Task List without having to log to Web client first?
Environment: EPM 11.1.2.3.500, FRS 11.1.2.3.503.0917, browser: IE 8, Excel: Office Professional Plus 2010
Thanks,
M. Sladic

Celvin, Ramkumar, thanks for your suggestions. My colleague, Soumyajit, discovered that the original method (URL) needed to be replaced.
Here is the original URL we used (this one was opening report twice on first open, and didn't open report from SmartView unless user was already logged to Workspace):
** https://i<server>/workspace/WorkspaceLaunch.jsp?uri=module%3Dwksp.relatedcontent%26repository_path%3D%2FReports%2FStatement%2520of%2520Financial%2520Statement%2520-%2520Expandable
Instead the right call is:
https://<server>/workspace/index.jsp?module=tools.relatedcontent&repository_path=%2FReports%2FFinancial%20Statement%20-%20Expandable
Using this other URL, the report:
- when open from the Tasks List, opens only once even the first time;
- opens in Workspace without additional login when opened from the Task List in SmartView
Note: We are using variant of OAM, maybe that has some impact to it. Not my area of expertise, though...

Which URL to use to open a financial report from a Task list ?

Hi,
I've got a big issue in Hyperion Planning : I do not know which URL to use to open a financial report from a task list.
If I use the Smartcut (given when you do a right-click on the report, then Properties), a tab is opening (normal behaviour), but another tab is opening under the tab, which is very ugly, and moreover which prevent from using the PDF/HTML display icons !
Is someone know which URL to use to display correctly a financial report when opening it from a task list ?
It's an emergency, please help !
Thanks very much.
Virgile.
PS. : we use Internet Explorer 8 and we use 11.1.2.1 Hyperion Planning version

Hi,
OK, thanks, it almost works !!
I've just a problem. 2 tabs are opening.
One is opening correctly and displays my report. I can display it in PDF/HTML.
But another tab is opening with this message : This window can now be closed since the application has been launched in a separate window. Note: Popup blockers may prevent this application from working properly.
Do you know why this tab is opening ?
Thanks very much for your help.

User POV does not pop up from Report in task list

Hello,
I've created a report within Related Content in HFM and added it to a task list--the problem I'm experiencing is when I run the report the User POV does not pop up, rather it simply uses the default POV (ie, whatever is set up in data grids or process management)--this happens if I try to run it directly from Related Content or from the task list. My preferences within Financial Reporting have already been updated to 'On' to preview the User POV and if I run the report from Financial Reporting (ie, Explore) the User POV works fine--so, it seems like adding a report to Related Content disables the User POV from popping up. I'm running on Financial Reporting v11.1.2.1 and HFM v11.1.2.1.104.3701. I can't find anything about it within this forum, knowledge base or as a known issue in the ReadMe for the .104 patch set for HFM.
Can anybody fill me in on if this is functionality by design or a defect?
Best regards,
Jason Call

Financial Reports do not work as you might expect when they are used as a related content item. As you already have realized, you will not be able to adjust the FR POV items from inside of HFM.
A 'work around' would be to link to the report and put that link in the Tasklist. This will then open the report 'normally' and you will get the POV functionality that you expect.
To find the link to a report, open the report's properties and look at the 'smartcut' value. (That is a URL directly to the report)

Report generation, Excel isn't closed in the Task manager (LV2010)

Hello everybody,
I attached a simple example, to explain my problem.
I tried (with Report generation) save data to Excel. That works fine. My problem is: in the Task Manager I can see the Excel.exe.
Does anybody have a idea or a solution, why Excel don't closed?
If I open and close the saved Excel file, the Excel.exe disappear in the Task manager. But this should not the way.

Hello zäpfle,
This is actually a known issue and already reported to NI R&D. As you mentioned, to solve this, you have to open and close the Excel report (with Word report everything seems to be fine). Since the task is closed just after the VI closes or open-and-close Excel, it seemed that not all references would close properly. The issue though isn't with properly closing the references, but rather deeper. However, a possible workaround would be to programmatically end the process just after closing the reference to Excel. Here is a link to a community example that demonstrates how to do just that:
Kill a task in Windows using System Exec.vi

Hope this helped. I am sorry for the inconvenience!

How to use the Report Generation Toolkit to get a list of bookmarks in a Word Template

I am working on a project where I will need to use the Report Generation Toolkit to fill out a fairly long Word Template. The MS Office Report Express VI can only have inputs for a maximum of 17 bookmarks which is not nearly enough for what I am needing to do.
I'm wondering if there is some way to use the lower level report generation VIs to read the word template and return a list of the bookmark names as a 1d array of string. The dialog box that you use to set up the Express VI has this capability but I'm not finding a way to scan the document programatically.
I'm sure I can't be the first person to run into this issue and I'm hoping that someone out there has found a good solution.
Solved!

Wordsub.llb should be somewhere in your Labview folder on your local drive. The path to it in my install is: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\vi.lib\addons\_office\_wordsub.llb
Also what specific problem are you referring to about 17 bookmarks? Is that the limit on the express style VI for filling them in from LV? If so what you will need to do is to use the lower level function 'Word Insert Field' under Word Advanced VIs. You will need to supply the VI the name of the bookmark and the text you want to insert.

Viewing HFR reports in the same window via task list url link

Does anyone know how to render an HFR report inside the Planning application or even in Workspace when referencing the report's url through task list? This is with version 11.1.1.3. It doesn't seem like this version allows the task list to be built to pull up the report within the Planning application window, or even as a separate Workspace tab. I also want to be able to switch from pdf or html preview when viewing the report, but this option isn't allowed when opening the report via task list. A separate pop up appears for the report, which isn't what I want.
Anyone know of a fix or workaround?

This sounds like part of your issue :-
9549216 - Instead of a new tab, a new window displays after you create a Financial Reporting task in Workspace.
Fixed in patch 11.1.1.3.02

Task List URL (to FR Report) opens in new window, but not for all users!

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the correct forum to ask the question (for me it looks like an IE topic), but perhaps anybody can help me anyway...
In one of our Planning apps (9.3.1) we defined several task lists and tasks that link to relevant FR Reports (URL Tasks). If I open the URL task in basic view the relevant FR Report opens in the same IE Window (in the main frame of the planning app). If my colleague opens the same task the FR Reports opens in a new IE Window.
My problem is that I dont have any ideas where I can set the relevant property. Is that a planning property, a workspace property or an IE property setting??? Where can I adjust the settings that for ALL users the URL opens the Report in the same window??????
Thanks in advance!!!!
Kind Regards
André
P.S.: We are on IE8.

Have you both got the same settings in Tools > Internet Options > Tabs Settings
There was also a bug though I can't say if it is related to your issue

Advanced reporting features in a task list

Hi
I hope someone can help with a rather specific question in SharePoint 2010.
I'm using task lists a lot, but I find that the reporting data from the list is severely lacking.
I'd like to have a calculated column that displays when the task was completed compared to the due date ("due date"-"Completed date"). I can't seem to get the calculated columns to behave when I want results from two date columns.
A more complicated question to the same list. The list uses versioning, so It'll be great to be able to see, how far we've moved the due date during the life of the task. Is it possible to extract due date from version 1 in any way? And then create a column
with the difference between original due date and current due date?
Thank you in advance for your help!

1. You'll want to use DATEDIF. See here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/bb862071(v=office.14).aspx
2. You can't extract the version history date, but you can run a workflow that establishes a baseline date and sets it to the original date. Hide that field from the user and you can use that in another calc field to estimate the difference.

Report generation toolkit and signal express user step : problem of closing reference in "Stop" event

Hi all,
I'm trying to make a package of Vis to easily make Excel reports with Signal Express. I'm working on LabVIEW 8.2.1.
I'm using the report generation toolkit, so I build a .llb from my project which contains all the hierarchy of my steps, but also the hierarchy of dynamic VIs called.
I have made some steps, like "Open Workbook", "Write Data", etc.
My steps run well, excepts one step : "Close Workbook".
If my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Run" Signal Express event, I have no error, so my reference is properly closed.
But if my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Stop" Signal Express event, I have an error "1", from "Generate Report Objectrepository.vi".
I feel that I'm trying to use a reference which has been killed in the "Stop" step...
I would like to know what exactly do Signal Express on "Stop" event and why my close function does'nt run well.
Thanks,
Callahan

Hi Callahan,
SignalExpress (SE for short) does the following on the Stop event:
1. Takes the list of parameters that SE found on your VI's connector pane, and sets the values that the user set from the "Run LabVIEW VI" configuration page, if any.
2. Then tells the VI that SE is running the Stop event by setting the Enum found on your VI's front panel. This in turn should produce some boolean values telling your VI to execute the Stop case.
3. The VI is then run, with those values and states.
4. SE checks to see if any errors where returned.
5. Since this is the Stop event, SE releases the reference to the VI which it possesses.
Questions for you would be, is the reference to your Workbook linked to a control on your connector pane, or held in a uninitialized Shift Register. If it's held in a Shift Register, SE would not be aware of it, and would not be able to affect that reference.
Hope that helps. Feel free to post your LLB if it doesn't.

Report Generation Toolkit producing error -2147417842, "The application called an interface that was marshalled for a different thread."

Hi everybody,
I've got an application that logs data to an Excel spreadsheet using the Report Generation Toolkit. My VI's have worked fine in the past using Excel XP, but since I've upgraded to Excel 2007, I am getting COM errors like this one:
"Error -2147417842 occurred at The application called an interface that was marshalled for a different thread. in Excel_Insert_Text.vi" That is the exact wording, even with the weird punctuation and capitalization.
The first occurrence of the error is not determinate. Sometimes, up to 10 logging sessions, involving a new .xls file, can occur before this error pops up. Once this error occurs, I must quit LabVIEW to resolve it. If I try to do anything with Excel, I always get this error, although sometimes it comes out of different source VIs. Excel_Open.vi is another.
These logging VIs have worked just fine until upgrading to Excel 2007. I checked, and I was using a really old version of the Report Generation Toolkit, v1.0.1. I read the documentation and had a big sigh of relief when I realized I needed to upgraded to v1.1.2 to get Excel 2007 support. However, even after upgrading, I'm still getting the same errors. I'm using LabVIEW 8.0.1, and I'm also building these VIs into an application. The error occurs both in the LabVIEW IDE and in the built application. Does anybody out there have any idea what I can do to fix this? I googled a little, and discovered this is a COM error, but I can't find any references to the Report Generation Toolkit specifically.
Thanks,
Phil
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Christian,
I do not see that exact option listed, do you mean "user interface"? I recognize the "Run in UI Thread" option, it's on the Call Library Function Node.
I checked, and my top-level VI has "same as caller" set, and I believe all my VIs are set to "same as caller". Are you suggesting I change my top-level VI preferred execution environment to "user interface", or just the logging sub-VIs that use the Report Generation Toolkit?
Thanks,
Phil

Problem for Report Generation Toolkit for excel 2000

Hi all,
Now I am Developing my program with Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.0 and Labview 7.1.
In my computer I am using Excel XP, and there is not any problem. But when I build to
a exe file, and use in a computer with Excel 2000, it didn't work.
And I try to check the source file in this computer, I found that there any some connection
error. And this is caused by the active X class. As I know Excel 2000 is using Microsoft Excel
Object Library 9.0, but i cannot find it in the list of active x. So it is using Microsoft Excel Object
Library with a very old verison. So in the property node there are missing functions, such as the
UsedRange in _Worksheet in the Excel_Get_Range.vi. However, In VBA, I can find the 9.0 Library.
Is it the problem of 9.0 library? How can I solve the problem? How can I upgrade the library to 10.0?
Thanks.
Regard,
Ryan

Hi Mike,
Since my program is for all the staff in office, everyone may use it.
I cannot call the whole office to upgrade the excel to XP.
And I think Report Generation Toolkit is alway support Excel 2000,
since the old version of it is not support for Excel XP.
Regard,
Ryan
