6i web report loses format

I am using Oracle Reports 6i. All the text is Helvetica, most of it 8 pt. The report displays as expected when I run it within the Report Builder tool. If I select the Web Preview with Use PDF, it displays as expected. When I deploy this report to the web (move the .RDF file to the Report Server) and use a URL with RWCGI60 and DESFORMAT=PDF, none of the data is displayed and some of the text, rectangular boxes, and vertical lines are moved around vertically on the screen, overlapping other text. I am logging in as the same database user. I am using the same version of Adobe Acrobat Reader in both cases. I need to display this report as a PDF. Is there a parameter that I need to set or something I need to do with a configuration file associated with the Report Server?
Thanks for any help!

it's rare. normally html or htmlcss format may lose some thing, but pdf will always show everything.
it may be the graphic memory issue of your report server or font mapping issue too.

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.

Cells merge issue when extracting webi report in excel format

Hi Experts,
We have some WEBI reports in BO XI 3.1.
The reports have header where we are showing report name and some values which user selects in prompt.
Now the issue is that when we save our webi report in excel format, many cells get merge.
I have read many post on scn which suggest some solutions like changing the autofit width option to no and aligning the header width with colums.
Tried both the option but no success.
Is there any other way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Rishabh

Hi,
We managed to find the workaround for this merge cell issue.
Sharing it might be helpful for someone.
- Align the report name and other block in report in such a way that the ends are in line with the end point of any column. The only limitation is that when applying pivot to the excel output we neet to click on any of the ccolumn so that excel identify the data set.
- Second workaround is to break the webi document in two parts report1 will contain the report name and the block to show the prompt values selected by the user where as report2 will contain the table withactual data. The only limitation with this workaround is that when exporting the repot output to excel we will get two tabs in the excel sheet one containing the prompt values and secont tab containing the actual data.

Broad casting Webi report in excel format to different users email ids

Hello,
Seriously looking for the help, please help with the solution for below scenario.
We have a requirement to schedule broadcasting of Webi reports to users email in excel format from infoview. But our concern is how the system takes care of authorizations of users when we broadcast the report to their mail id as excel file.
For example we have one webi report for Finance and there are thousands of users for each department, cost centre etcu2026so how to broadcast the same webi report in excel to different users with only data they have authorized to see. We have committed to client that we can do this with out much massive overhead, please advise what is the easiest way to achieve this. I read something like this can be done using authorization profiles in CMS but creating those many profiles and mapping them to relevant authorizations is not possible as there are thousands of users with different authorization levels. And Client is expecting this broadcasting need to be done automatically with out every time manual intervention.
Looking forward for the prompt reply.
Thanks,
Gani.

Please use the Dynmanic Recipients functionality of the Publication.
For this we need to do follow steps.
1) Create the WebI Report that needs to be published(Broadcasted)
2) create Deski/webi report which contains the user details and email id's for publishing main report.
3) Map the properties of souce report with Dynamic Recipient report.
Please refer the user guide for more inforamtion.This helps you in avoiding manual creation of profiles in CMC.
Regards,
Siva

How to change the format of a cell in a web report

Hello experts,
Is it possible to implement this in a Web Report/BEx query?
We have a list of products grouped into Company A and Company B. One key figure is for example Net Cost Price.
We need to highlight the lowest net cost price in every company but with a different colour depending on the company assuming prices are sorted in ascending order.
We have been recommended to use Web Design Api for Tables but we understand that in order to format a cell content we need to know the axis position of the cell but we don't know how many rows the query will display for every company. Is this kind of requirements only possible with "static" reports where we know exactly the number of rows and columns that are going to be displayed?
This is an example.
COMPANY      PRODUCTS    NET COST PRICE
Company A    Product 1    <b>5</b>
             Product 2    10
Company B    Product 1    <b>10</b>
             Product 2    20
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Inma

Hi Inma,
If you have already not solved your problem , you can try the following solution with table interface class.
Table interface class generates HTML table row by row so it first process the charecterstics and then KFs .
You define a attribute(type public) in class and set that attribute to X (In CHARECTERSTIC menthod)when ever the company code changes.
Then make use of that flag in DATA method to change the format of cell (Assuming you sorted by Ascending).
hope this helps.

How to schedule a webi report in csv format without header?

I have a requirement to create scheduled csv reports without table headers? I am unable to do this from CMC. It gives the column headers by default in the exported csv file. However, in the webI rich client, I have an option to save the document as "CSV-Archive" which allows me to omit the column header.
How are these two options different and is there a way to get the "CSV-Archive" option from CMS?
Looking for your valuable suggestions.
Thanks
Sukanto

Is there a way to get the "CSV-Archive" option from CMS?
Customization of existing options or features in CMC is not available, it will become an enhancement request, you have to place this request in SAP Idea place.
WebIntelligence Rich client is a desktop tool, auto schedule of reports as .csv is not possible, save as CSV and save as to "CSV Archive" from Rich Client is a manual job.
BI launch pad, CMC are BOE Server components have the ability to auto schedule as .csv, as a default behavior column headers will be exported to CSV along with report data.
As a workaround, have a copy of original wibi reports in your webi reports you have to hide table headers and schedule them to save as .csv
To hide table headers:
Edit the report -> Select table block properties -> Chose 'Format Table' -> Under 'General' properties 'Display' options un-check "Show table headers"

WEBI report on a Universe - Time Format

Hi,
I have a WEBI report built on a universe that uses a BW query as a datasource.
In my BW report I have two time key figures of type DEC.
Actual Time and Scheduled Time in format HH:MM:SS or -HH:MM:SS if it is a negative value. It works well in Bex and RSRT.
There is a Universe report built on top of this report and my WEBI report is built on the universe.
When I run the WEBI report the time key figures display in the format 10,000 in BO instead of 01:00:00 (HH:MM:SS) as it is in Bex. It is obviously doing some type of internal conversion and outputting the wrong result.
Is there a way to convert the field in BO so that it outputs the same as Bw format?
I have tried changing the universe format properties of the field from Number to Character and back again but it does not give me any different result and in some cases it displays as #DataType.
Any suggestions welcome.
BO Version 3.1
BW Version 7.01
Regards,
John

If you select "Date/Time" in the format then select the time field, does this work for you?
It should be HH:mm:ss (capitalization matters).
I don't have a BW sample currently available to test so this screenshot is from an Oracle data source.
Also, are you able to set the object to a Date type?

Formatting error while exporting webi report to excel

Hello,
I have a webi report which I have to export to excel . I have the header and the body both in the body of the report. I have the sections in the report and the report has about 40 coloumns. After converting to excel all the coloumns are being minimized automatically , I am having to manually expand each coloumn in excel to see the data.
I am using Busines Objects 3.1 sp3.
Can anyone please help!
Thanks

Hello,
Check the properties of the columns in Webi. If they are set to automatic width, this may be causing the problem.. Sections may also have something to do with it. Make a copy of the report and play with the things mentioned above, and see what results you get. This may point you to the problem.
Also look at the option in properties to export to excel where it considers format over data. It is an option in document properties if I remember correctly.
Thanks

Issues while saving the Webi Report locally in pdf and Excel Format

Hi,
I am getting issues with the images on a Webi Report when I try to save the reports locally on my machine in either a pdf format or in an Excel Format.
I think the issue is that when I am trying to save the report it saves the address of the image binded in the report but it doesn't save the image/download the image and when the report is opened locally it couldn't refer to the image location.
I am using BOXIR2 with SP2.8.
I am not sure what should be the right solution for this. Any insight or resolution will definitely be helpful.

Hi;
I would investigate on the load balancer and/or Apache front end servers, are you sure you don't have a keep alive setting enabled somewhere on one of these servers? in the Tomcat connector maybe?

Thank you in advance.

Date Format in Webi Reports - Error

Hi ,
I am using a date dimension in my webI report, but the dimension value is not populating correctly, it shows some constant value for all fileds. I checked the format of the dimension in the universe. It is in perfect format as date.can anyone guide me on this.
Thanks
Praveen

Hi,
[0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]
Will normally be defined as a Date type object, so it is treated by WebI as a date.
When you use the object in a webI report, it will get the default date format based on the locale settings of the user.
If you are getting a german date format (dd.MM.yyyy is German), that must be your preferences.
Two ways to go about this:
1) change your preferences.
2) fix the date format of the cell by using the FormatNumber dialogue.
Go to the date/time part and select Custom.
Now you can type the format you want, i.e. MM/dd/yyyy
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Excel Formatting in WEBI Report

Can we able to save the webi report to default excel format.
default excel format :- each columns should move to each cell same for rows too. But currently it is placing in proper cells but the blank part is showing in white background without any format.
pls help..

Hi,
Save as excel saves the document to an excel file keeping as much of the formatting as possible.
The free format of webI is in conflict with the way excel is set up in cells.
So if i have one cell that is about 2,5 times the lenght of my table block, the third column will be split to accommodate both the cell ending and the column ending.
Same is true with whitespace, there will be additional rows/columns to give the same amount of whitespace in the excel file.
If you want the table to convert to a simple excel table, you should treat the webi report as such.
No fancy comment cells, just one table block that will translate to excel.
Position the table block upper left (0px from top, 0 px from left) to get rid of the white space left and top,
as this will trigger a white column and row.
Good luck,
Marianne
