Using remote machines for report generation

Since LabView does not have cross-platform openoffice support, I was looking at ways of generating reports from a LabView session (2010) running on a mac. The report generation VI contains a somewhat suggestive machine name input. Can one connect to a remote machine (which is windows XP and has microsoft word / excel installed) to generate reports from a mac running LabView ?

With some work I think is is do-able.
If the PC had an exe deployed and running that was served via VI Server the report could be run and generated on the PC when invoked from the Mac.
So in theory yes!
Edit:
VI server is not required if the exe on the PC listens at a TCP/IP port and supports a protocol to accept the report "job".
I'll watch to see (and in hopes of) a better solution form others.

Business Objects parameters names to configure using JAVA SDK for report generation

Post Author: christof
CA Forum: JAVA
Hello All, I have created a small set of reports which need to be generated from a Java application.The Crystal Reports configuration was relatively easy for the parameters as you have control over their names but is this also the case in Business Objects. For some reports I have created parameters linked to a user prompt. What would the parameters name be that I should use in the Java application.Is this then just the prompt text or should we use e.g. a number e.g parameter 1,.. Kind Regards,

Hello Christof,If you're referring to the Crystal Report parameters via code, then you would refer to them by their parameter name, and not their prompt string.I note that, with BusinessObjects (now called Desktop Intelligence), prompts were referred to by their prompt string.Sincerely,Ted Ueda

LabView Exe Application file not launch Excel application for report generation

Dear All,
I created one LabVIEW application file for report generation (using Excel Template).
While I run the program in programming mode it works well and create the report file in the specified path.
After creation of the application file(exe), it gives the correct path of where the excel template is placed. The same path is given to New Report.vi, but it gives the error 'File Not Found'.
Tell me, is any other configuration required for generating Excel reports? (During exe application mode)
Give me the solution.
Thank You
Jegan.

Hello,
Most likely you are encountering a problem of stripping and/or building paths. Probably the easiest thing to do is put a couple indicators on your front panel for the path or paths you care about, build your exe, and make sure you are really using the path you'd like. If you always put the report at some deterministic place relative to the exe (that is, even it the exe is moved, it will go with the exe and remain in the same relative path location, then you can use the Current VIs Path funtion found in the ... File I/O -> File Constants palette as a start path (where you will want to strip at least the exe name off of course).
I think this will bring some clarity to the issue!

How to use remote directory for external table

Hi Folks,
I have 2 Oracle 11GR2 64 bit database installed on Win 2008 server as prod1 and prod2.
I have one directory created on prod1 server as EXT_TAB_DIR using the path as D:\OrsDWtest_dir .
I want to use this directory in Prod2 server and use external table using this remote directory.
I am able to access the Prod1 directory from Prod2 machine and also i have created Network map drive as Z drive pointing to that prod1 D:\OrsDWtest_dir directory. Also i checked read and Write permissions are there . I am able to create the external table but when i try to fetch the data i m getting below error ..
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04040: file IOMM_20121213_060736.csv in EXT_TAB_DIR not found
now my doubt is this possible ? Can we use remote directory for External table ? or is there is there any alternative way to achieve same ?
Thanks & Regards,
Vikash Jain(DBA)

How To Execute an Oracle 10g SProc using VS 2005, for Reporting Services

Good day! :-)
Anybody who knows the syntax for executing an Oracle Stored Proc thru ODBC connection using VS 2005 for Reporting Services? I am having a problem about this.
I am using the ODBC connection because VS 2005 does not support Oracle Database 10g in its Oracle Database Connection feature (only 7.3, 8i, and 9i), that's y.
While using MS SQL Server 2000, I never encountered any problem. But using Oracle Database 10g, I find it hard to call the stored procedures, an error is generated everytime.
Please click the link below for the screenshots:

Please help...thank you so much.

I'll give you updates about the use of the MS SQL Server Reporting Services with VS 2005 and Oracle, this might be helpful for those who will encounter this same ctuation in the future.
I have discovered that if you're going to connect thru ODBC, even if the connection is successful, the user is still prompted to input a password, which should not be the case when using the Reporting Services. Another thing to take note is the issue about REF CURSOR, we're going to have problems with this. And also the syntax on how you're going to call the stored procedures (with or without input parameters).
With modifications made through Oracle Net Manager, and I tried AGAIN connecting through "Oracle (client)" feature of VS 2005 (even if the list only include Oracle 7.3, 8i, and 9i that are supported) with some changes also, you'd still be able to generate correct data with that solution. If the configuration is correct, you just need to call the stored procedure (with or without input parameter), you won't have any problems about the correct syntax.
I suppose VS 2005 was released earlier than Oracle 10g, that's why 10g wasn't included If ever u'd encounter the same ctuation like mine, and u need the details on how to connect, do not hesitate to ask me.

By "3rd gen charger" are you referring to the USB cable with the

If so, the answer is again NO...

Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing. Help.

Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing else happens. Several tries, settings appear correct. Suggestions? Safari operates correctly, music icon matches (not from iTunes, simply music on my MacPro and iPod). Is Cloud the issue, perhaps? But everything worked before the upgrade. Using my home network. Hope this info suffices. Appreciate any guidance.

Problem solved. Saw the solution in a more recent post. Downloaded a free app, then all my other apps started to work again.

Help needed for report generation using java technologies

May i get some idea about report generation api available. some report generation tools that can be downloadble. can you please suggest how to use scheduling the printers or report generation by scheduling.

e.g. for one of my school project which generate reconciliation report (banking project) we add in a letterheader and the rest of the information presented below.
but there is some problem here.
either you "catch" no. x row where the printing will be trancated then prevented it from trancated by formatting your pages such that data will not be printed in that region.

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

Can we use remote cubes for real time data

Hi Gurus,
Can you please explain, can remote cubes be used for sales item and billing item ,data sources, if it, can i extract the data as of normal cube running on these DataSource, if so then i want to make multicube on normal cube and remote cube and make a real time sales data on BW, please explain the possibilities of this, we are on version 3.1c
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Remote cubes are special InfoCubes. A Remote cube represents a logical view.
Unlike with BasisCubes however, no data is physically stored in SAP BW. The
data is taken from the source systems only after a query has been executed.
There are three types of remote cube. They can be distinguished by the way
in which they retrieve data.
Overview: Virtual Cube Types
-SAP RemoteCube
A SAP RemoteCube allows you to define queries with direct access to transaction data in other SAP systems.
-General RemoteCube:
A general Remote Cube allows reporting using data from non-SAP systems. The external system transfers the requested data to the OLAP processor via the BAPI.
-Virtual InfoCube with Services:
For a virtual InfoCube with services, a user-defined function module is used as the data source.

Remote save for report builder

CF Report builder does not have an option to save .cfr file
to remote server (rds). I don't have CF installed on my client and
every time I make changes to .cfr file I have to upload to the
server.I wish they had remote save option for report builder like
CF studis or deamweaver.

My solution was to keep the cfr in the same place as the rest
of the application. Since when creating a cfr I usually have DW
open along with it, i just switch back to DW after a save and
upload the cfr from DW. Not really that big of deal, or I am just
used to now.
