A tricky question: how to automatically product a HTML version report?

Greetings:
I have to tackle with an issue in one of our Apex apps: send a report to users in HTML format at every night.
The rationale behind this is that, the report takes fairly long time to be generated. We don't wanna the user go to the app and wait for 30 minutes to get the report. Instead, we want to generate the report to be a HTML (table) and attach it in an email which is automatically sent to the users.
My issue are:
1) I couldn't find any way to automatically generate the HTML of a report page, so I used the UTL_HTTP in a page process to get the source of that page, and store it into a clob table. However, that means the page has to be there to be "extracted". As the consequence, the app has to be there 24 hours to run the report, and the page process to get the HTML source at the specific time.
2) I used the META tag to refresh the page to get it automated, which is really lousy.
Is there better solutions to solve the issues?
Thanks in advance.

Luc,
Can you give an outline of the sort of report you create? It might help to shape some of the suggestions as to a good way to improve the speed etc.

  • How to automate revision control of Crystal Reports from SAP B1?

    I am reviewing our revision controls and am trying to figure out a good way to maintain a history of the SAP B1 Crystal Reports.  Is there a way to automatically export the Crystal Reports to an external file?  I know that developers can save the file by hand when they do changes, but that seems rather error prone.  I am looking for a way to automate the export so that I can then save it to our version control system.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on how to automatically export the Crystal Reports?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Try with this query to export crystal report:
    SELECT T0.[DocCode], T0.[DocName], T0.[Author], T0.[Notes], T0.[CreateDate], T0.[UpdateDate], T0.[UserSign] FROM RDOC T0 WHERE T0.[Category] = [%0]

  • How to automate to export ERD to reporting schema

    We are using Oracle Data Modeler 3.3
    We manage more than 120 ERDs for our organization. We need to export all ERDs to the reporting schema to generate reports.
    Manually doing this is time consuming.
    Please suggest if we can automate the process of exporting the ERD to the reporting schema.
    Thanks,

    Not today. However, we are considering adding a command line interface in a future release and this would be a possible feature to support there.

  • How to automatically update products and product categories?

    Hi friends
    How to automatically update products and product categories.Is it possible?
    regards
    venkat

    Hi,
    The delta load does not work for product categories but only products.So to bring in the new product categories into SRM you will need to start the load of the object DNL_CUST_PROD1 again.
    The CRM middleware allows the following two methods for replication.
    -Initial loads:
    Launched manually (R3AS), the objects (customizing or business) are replicated between SRM and R/3, according to the filters you've put on the object (R3AC1 for Business objects like MATERIAL, R3AC3 for customizing objects like DNL_CUST_PROD0 and 1).
    -Delta loads:
    This option is only possible for Business objects, which is the case of MATERIAL.
    With this option a daemon is launched between the 2 servers. Every modification made on an object on SRM or R/3 is transfered as soon as this object is contained in the filter retrictions (creation and/or modification). this is done through transaction R3AC4.
    Also refer the foll thread:
    Material group from R/3 to COMM_CATEGORY (SRM)

  • Automatic production order creation and confirmation

    Dear all,
    I am in a situation where i have to configure the SAP system in the following ways:
    1. From the planned orders automatically production order should be created today for the next day production and the end user will re-declare the quantity if there are any changes in the production order.
    2. If there are no re declarations to be done SAP should automatically release production order and save it.
    3. After the goods are produced the confirmation of the order should happen automatically from the measuring points.
    4. In the order confirmation, the storage location for goods issue should be automatically captured from the goods issue slip.
    5.After the confirmation of the order the goods receipt should happen automatically.
    Please suggest me whether these are possible in SAP or not.  If yes please tell me the procedure.

    HI,
    I hope this will give you the clear picture
    actually my scenario is:
    Finished good= x
    work centers involved = WC1, WC2.
    HERE BOTH THE WORK CENTERS ARE IDENTICAL, INPUTS ARE SAME AND OUTPUT IS THE FINISHED GOOD "X"  FOR BOTH THE WORK CENTERS.
    I HAVE A ROUTING FOR THE FINISHED GOOD "X" WITH TWO GROUP COUNTERS AS (1)WC1 AND (2) WC2
    When i create plan in md61 for 1 month and when i do mrp run in md02 it will create the planned orders and we can see the stock requirements in md04 and when we double click on the planned order we can convert them into production orders.
    But my users requirement is, he want to run the mrp in md01 and after that automatically each day the production order should be created.
    example with the above work centers and materials:-
    i have done the mrp run for "x" for November and December months
    i want to produce "x" of 200 kg on 30.11.2011.
    so SAP should generate production order for WC1 AS 100KG AND WC2 AS 100KG on 29.11.2011 at 5 pm automatically  and the user will release the order.
    similar example:-
    i have done the mrp run for "x" for November and December months
    i want to produce "x" of 400 kg on 03.12.2011.
    so SAP should generate production order FOR WC1 AS 200KG AND WC2 AS 200KG on 02.12.2011 at 5 pm automatically and the user will release the order.
    Please suggest me how to do the configure settings for my users requirement.
    Thanks,

  • How to automate storing ibot results in a directory

    Hello,
    I have a requirement of
    1. scheduling couple of reports which runs every day
    2. Automating storing the results of the scheduled reports (Alerts) in a directory in the server (with date sufix to the files or in a new directory for date).
    My development environment is in Windows which I'm working currently and production environment would be in UNIX. Please suggest solution in both cases.
    3. Finally to create a dashoboard for end users with a date prompt to access these files depending on the date filter.
    My approach for the point # 1 and 3 are as below
    1. Scheduling set of reports by using Ibots which I configured successfully to run the reports on daily basis.
    3. I want to create a table with column1 to store date, column2 to store file name and column3 with BFILE data type to store the link to the files in a directory. This part I would like to automate in a unix script in production. And want to create a request with date filter and display file content from column3.
    Please correct me if I'm wrong in my above approach and Advice for the point number 2 to automate downloding of the scheduled report results in a file.
    Regarding point #2 Is it something to do with GO URL?? I executed the URL (http://XXXXX:XXX/analytics/saw.dll?GO&NQUser=Administrator&NQPassword=Administrator&Path=/shared/transactions/Sales+By+Month&Action=download&Options=md) from Internet Explorer and its prompting to save the results in a location. Can we give file location like C:\DOWNLOAD also in the URL? And how can I call this URL inside a shell script or from windows command prompt?
    Thanks in advance

    Thank you very much for your detailed inputs regarding Point #2 Prakash.
    You are right in saying that I've this requirement to improve performance and users don't need to execute the reports again and again by hitting database or from cache. Because data per day is bit large to store in the table or to caching the data.
    Regaring point #3 I want to use BFILE datatype to store the location of the file so that I'm planning to display hyperlink of the files to the users in OBIEE dashboard accordingly users will download the required report data.
    Files I can store anywhere by using Ibots as suggested. Could you please suggest any approach in OBIEE to highlight a link to the files in a report or dashboard to download the required files data?
    I found that I couldn't able to select BFILE data type column in Physical layer to see the data. and also its throwing error when I select this presentaion column in the report.
    Below error message I'm getting:
    View Display Error
    Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).

  • How to automate the length of a rectangle solid to a text layer ?!

    How can I automate the length of a rectangle to be larger/smaller as a text layer is made longer or shorter.
    Example = https://www.dropbox.com/s/0lqu7iff5bnlzd1/Capture%20d%27%C3%A9cran%202014-04-04%2015.00.23 .png

    There are two events that can be used to check the text length,
    The first is the action event for the text field, which is called when the field loses focus, it's a dialog object member with the same name as the item_id.  This event could also be used to update another field on the dialog that shows the number of characters, you could even have a little alert image that becomes visible to make it obvious that there is a problem.
    The other event, as already mentioned, is the validate event.  Use this to block exiting the dialog and display an alert popup to the user.
    You'll find some examples of dialogs here:
    http://www.pdfscripting.com/public/65.cfm
    Take a look at the dialog for the resize pages tool.  It'll give you some ideas of what can be done.
    There is an Acrobat plug-in for creating dialogs here:

    It's a visual drag and drop editor.  You can download and use it for free for 10 days.

  • How to automate the payment program proposal creation

    Hi Experts,
    Another question, as we have to automate the creation of the payment run and its proposal run and then the list should go to specified person, who will check and then the payment run will be executed manually in the system.
    How to automate this?
    Thanks,
    Atif

    Hi,
    For payment run parameter generation you can use the program SAPF110S and for the proposal run execution you can use the program SAPFPAYM_SCHEDULE.
    Schedule these programs via a batch job on periodic basis in steps and give the intended recipients in the spool recipients.

  • How to automate the data load process using data load file & task Scheduler

    Hi,
    I am doing Automated Process to load the data in Hyperion Planning application with the help of data_Load.bat file & Task Scheduler.
    I have created Data_Load.bat file but rest of the process i am unable complete.
    So could you help me , how to automate the data load process using Data_load.bat file & task Scheduler or what are the rest of the file is require to achieve this.
    Thanks

    To follow up on your question are you using the maxl scripts for the dataload?
    If so I have seen and issue within the batch (ex: load_data.bat) that if you do not have the full maxl script path with a batch when running it through event task scheduler the task will work but the log and/ or error file will not be created. Meaning the batch claims it ran from the task scheduler although it didn't do what you needed it to.
    If you are using maxl use this as the batch
    "essmsh C:\data\DataLoad.mxl" Or you can also use the full path for the maxl either way works. The only reason I would think that the maxl may then not work is if you do not have the batch updated to call on all the maxl PATH changes or if you need to update your environment variables to correct the essmsh command to work in a command prompt.

  • How to automatically/programmatically "publish" reports for local users of Crystal Reports 2011?

    Hi,
      I'm not sure if I'm using the correct Crystal Reports terminology here, so apologies in advance.
      We've got Crystal Reports 2011 and are developing an application which comes with a number of report files (.rpt) as part of its installation. These reports are used to provide a view onto the database that our application writes to.
      Is it possible to automatically manage the collection of reports that are available to users of the Crystal Reports application? Ideally this would be done as part of our application's installation/upgrade procedure. In the case of upgrades, it is possible that some report files may be modified, some removed and others added. (i.e. as the application database's underlying schema is modified or new features added/deprecated).
      I believe this could be achieved manually by starting up Crystal Reports and adding and removing reports to/from the Workbench, but we'd like this list of reports to be available to all users on the PC (Crystal Reports is installed on the same PC as our application), and for the update procedure to be something that was automatically scriptable or programmable in something like .NET.
      I've read about the Repository (which sounds like a solution to making reports available for all users), but suspect that this is only usable after some other product(s) has been installed? I'm not entirely sure what products they would be.
      Could you please let us know whether this can be achieved with the version of Crystal Reports we've got, and if so, how?
      The version of Crystal we have is: SAP BusinessObjects, CR Developer, Version 14.0.4.738 RTM, Product Type: Full
      Many thanks in advance,
        -Nige

    CR 2011 does not install any SDK... You can however download SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio, which is an SDK that will let you work with VS 2010 and 2012.
    You will then have to decide if you want to use the Crystal Reports SDK or the InProc RAS SDK.
