Accessing a GUI interface to develop Reports just as in Cognos

I just worked on a project in Cognos and there was this flexibility in working within a browser instead of the in Excel as in BW. What is the equivalent of BEX, which is used in developing queries/report in the Web environment such as the browser based tools like ReportNEt and Query Analyzer in Cognos?
Basically I am looking for a GUI to work with, if one exists, then how do I access it?
If brief, can you give me a few steps on how to gains access to say, a BW Cube and prepare a report based on that through a browser, just as you will do in BEx.
Thanks

NAC CAM 4.8 Unable to Access Web GUI Interface

Hello, we were working on trying to get the CAM and CAS to talk by using a Microsoft CA, we imported the Certs that we generated and shortly after that we lost Web GUI access, we are still able to access via SSH and everything appears ok, reloading the server didnt help. Is it possible the Cert was corrupted preventing us from accessing the web GUI interface, how can I regenerate cert and install it from the CLI? Should I look at something else like log files, if so what do I look for?
Thank you,
Mark

Hi Mark,
this problem also happend to me,
U might want to check perfigo status with this command :

Not access WLC cisco 2106 by GUI interface

Hi Expert ,
i am trying to configure it but i can not access GUI interface.it is true this is my frist time.please help me to access this GUI interface.

I assume you have read through the Quick start guide for the 2106 controller?
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/controller/2100/quick/guide/ctrl206q.html
Also the configuration guide covers connecting via cli and gui:

EW520-24K9-Unable to log into GUI interface

Can't access the GUI interface of a EW520-24K9 switch. Tried using the serial cable and Ethernet cable with no success. The default IP address of 192.168.10.2, 192.168.10.1 or 192.168.10.254 is not working. Any ideas?

- Do you have the ESW connected to a network that has a DHCP server such as UC520? If so you may want to check on the DHCP server what IP address is assigned to ESW 520 (MAC address binding). If its a UC520 - then CCA can discover this for you - note make sure you connect the uplink port on the ESW to the UC520 expansion port
- If the ESW is standalone connected back to back to your PC - have you gone through steps 1 through 8 in Section 2 at the guide below:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/csbms/esw500/quick_start/guide/ESW_500_Quick_Start_Guide.pdf
- If you are using a console cable - make sure the right settings are configured - check page 49 at link below:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/csbms/esw500/administration/guide/ESW_500_Administration_Guide.pdf
If you have tried all of the above - can you factory reset the ESW and try one of the above?

Problems access to a web application (Web Interface or Web report)

Hi,
We found problems with the access to web application. Some users have problems with direct links to the web applications(Web Interface or Web reporting), when they click on the link an error message appears, the message displays the following text:
"Cannot open file Bex?sap-language=ENbsplanguge=ENcmd=idoc_TE.."
Clicking in details the message is "No Access to specified file"
For this users the access to excel reporting is correct, the message appears when they click on the direct web links through the browser or directly in BW system, but if they type the URL they can access. Other users can use the direct web link without problems.
I highly appreciate any help or idea about how to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

HI,
please ask to your basis that check the language of every single user on su01 tx.
This is the problem i think.

Need help..anyone GUI Interfaces

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=31&thread=472147&tstart=0&trange=15
Can someone please help me with this program..I'm new to java and I don't understand GUI's. I read everything inside and out in my text book and still don't get how to convert my program into a gui interface...please help.

Sorry i accidently posted twice...
But here is my topic incase the link did not work. Thanks! Really desperate!
Develop a Java application that will determine if a department store customer has exceeded the credit limit on a charge account. For each customer, the following facts are available:
a) Account Balance
b) Balance at the beginning of the month
c) Total of all items charged by this customer this month
d) Total of all credits applied to the customer’s account this month
e) Allowed credit limit
This program should input each of these facts from input dialogs as integers, calculate the new balance, display the new balance and determine if the new balance exceeds the customer’s credit limit. For those customers whose credit limit is exceeded, the program should display the message, “Credit limit exceeded.”
Here is the program I wrote : (for the above criteria)
// Credit.java
// Program monitors accounts
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Credit {
public static void main( String args[] )
String inputString;
int account, newBalance,
oldBalance, credits, creditLimit, charges;
inputString =
JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter Account (-1 to quit):" );
while ( ( account = Integer.parseInt( inputString ) ) != -1 ) {
inputString =
JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter Balance: " );
oldBalance = Integer.parseInt( inputString );
inputString =
JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter Charges: " );
charges = Integer.parseInt( inputString );
inputString =
JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter Credits: " );
credits = Integer.parseInt( inputString );
inputString =
JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter Credit Limit: " );
creditLimit = Integer.parseInt( inputString );
newBalance = oldBalance + charges - credits;
String resultsString, creditStatusString;
resultsString = "New balance is " + newBalance;
if ( newBalance > creditLimit )
creditStatusString = "CREDIT LIMIT EXCEEDED";
else
creditStatusString = "Credit Report";
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
null, resultsString,
creditStatusString,
JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE );
inputString =
JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter Account (-1 to quit):" );
System.exit( 0 );
AND I NEED TO MODIFY IT TO DO THE FOLLWOING: (I'M A NEWB AND IT'S TAKEN ME FOREVER JUST TO DO THE ABOVE..PLEASE ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT!!
Expand the above program.
1) Design an appropriate GUI for input. You cannot use dialog boxes. Design functional window(s) from scratch. State your conditions in the boxed comment at the top of the class. Input will need a transaction date also for the CustomerHistory class.
2) Add a customer # ( a unique identifier)
3) Besides your GUI, you will want 2 other classes: Customer and CustomerHistory. CustomerHistory will serve as a mock database.
4) CustomerHistory will hold the previous balance & allowed credit limit plus any credit violation history. Your CustomerHistory violations must be an array, so that it could be readily expandable.
5) Some step-up is necessary – chose your own approach and document.
6) Then run your system enough times to show the response when a customer exceeds THREE ‘over credit’ limits. CustomerHistory violations should be printed out, as well as, our choice of a ‘dunning notice’. It cannot be the same as a simple one time exceeds limit. Also show a normal customer run. Prove to me your solution works!
7) Draw the UML diagram of your interconnecting classes.

What is better/easier GUI Interface and Code

I'm trying to write a GUI interface that will constantly update a bunch of variables with whatever the user inputs. Is it better to make a GUI and then try to pass the updates back to other underlying code which is in seperate Classes and methods or is it better to combine the two with the updates right in the GUI code itself.
Right now I have made the basics of the GUI but I haven't really implemented any underlying code (I've made the robot but I don't have the servos to make it move -- as an analogy). Comments?

Ideal system design has separation between the view and the underlying data model. Preferrably there is a 3rd intermediary, a controller. That's the MVC design pattern. However, how far you implement that pattern depends on the purpose of the program and the complexity of the data model. A simple program you can probably just implement it all right there in the GUI. It won't follow proper software development principles, but we have those so we can deal with large, complex systems. Another thing to consider is what the user input is used for. If it is not required beyond the GUI then I'd say put it in the GUI (since iot really is part of the GUI). But if it's to be used somewhere else, pass the data to the model.

Windows developed report hangs on Unix Reports server ??

Hi,
We recently migrated from a Windows BI tier to HP-UX Itanium. The problem I have is that one particular report just hangs in the Unix reports server. The basics of the report are that it has repeating frames which displays three record blocks per page. I use a formatting trigger on a derived field to alternate the background colour of the frames.
After making several modifications to the report I've discovered that the trigger to alternate the background colour is the issue. I can use the same field with a trigger to say conditionally display a field or hide another frame and that works ok. I can set the background of the frame to another colour and the report works fine.
As soon as I use a formatting trigger to change the background it hangs.
In terms of report development I'm stuck with only Windows as Report builder is not available for our platform so troubleshooting this is a tedious process.
Has anyone seen anything like this before ????
Cheers,
Ron

hello,
oracle reports has always had this dependency. it needs the x environemtn for rendering of the output. so you need an active xsession for the reports server to point DISPLAY to.
a possible work around is the use of a soft-terminal such as VNC or xvfb (see oracle9i application server release notes for details).

How do I use the Oracle Developer Reporting Control in Visual Basic 6.0?

I was wondering how to use the Oracle Developer Reporting Control componant in Visual Basic 6.0 to generate reports in Oracle Reports? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Rohit,
Would like to ask you some questions about the oracle report with Visual Basic.
1. I have a report built in oracle report. Currently there is a Visual Basic program want to pass some parameter to this report. Can Visual Basic program pass the parameter to this oracel report?
2. Based on yr answer, do i have to installed the oracle report? or just copy and register the Rwsxa60.ocx (i'm using oracle report 6i) in the PC? So can i use this activeX control.
3. Is this activeX control similar to Crystal report object which can found in VB?
4. Is there an example/guide on how the Visual Basic pass the parameter to oracel form?
Your answer will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

When to use webdynpro for developing reports instead of ABAP Editor in R/3

Hello Frends,
I am new to Webdynpro ABAP. I just wanted to know when we should used webdnpro ABAP for developing reports, instead of using ABAP Editor in R/3. If you can give me the details it will be helpful.
Thanks,
Regards.

Hi navnetha,
As mishbah told you , that there is no hard and fast rule for reporting throught webdynpro.It all depends on client requirement .Now if you want to develope alll the reports by using webdynpro without your clients request , then you need to explain the advantages of webdynpro reporting above abap reporting.
for e.g. Webdynpro reports can run on browser, They can be posted on portal, Easy handling and maintenance and reusability.
Other than this i guess if you can show some business profit to the client, then i think every client would like to go for webdynpro reporting.

How to set path of MS-Access databse file dynamically in crystal report

i have windows application and crystal reports and access database.when i connect crystal report to database through followingpath like
\\machinename\FolederName\AccessDBFile.mdb..here machine name is my machine name(i.e:PCNAMe).but when i will deploy this application on cliet machine then how i can set the path to crystal report with his machine name dynamically..or is
there any other provision to do this so that i can set it dynamically.
one more thing i want to tell you is that i wwant to share database on multiple machines so how can i do that.

Hello,
Crystal reports is for a long time not anymore supported by Microsoft.
Moreover for sure not in this forum for api's components and classes for the user interface Windows Forms

Accessing AM Client Interface from Web Application

Hi,
I am trying to access some client interface methods that I developed on my application module from a backing bean on my web application and have trouble doing so.
Some background on the problem,
Basically when logging into our application from the front-end, we have to authenticate the user against some custom security code. Part of this code is to validate the user against the Oracle database (i.e. valid oracle db user, and password is valid password to log onto Oracle database). To do this, I developed Client Interface methods on an Application Module. When using the BC Tester in jdev 11g (the latest release), these methods work 100% and validation occurs. On our logon page, I bound these methods to the page definition file. When I then try in the backing bean to call this method, using the code from the ADF 11g Dev guide as below, the DataControl on the action is null at point 3. It does seem to find the action find. I have also tried to actually use the "setParams" method on the action, and then tried the execute(), invoke() + getResult(), and doIt() + getResult() methods, of which none seems to work. All these go past the execute/invoke/do part, but the return value on the execute, as well as the return value from the getResult calls are null.
public String commandButton_action() {
// Example using an action binding to get the data control
public String commandButton_action() {
// 1. Access the binding container
DCBindingContainer bc = (DCBindingContainer)getBindings();
// 2. Find a named action binding
JUCtrlActionBinding action = (JUCtrlActionBinding)bc.findCtrlBinding("SomeActionBinding");
// 3. Get the data control from the iterator binding (or method binding)
DCDataControl dc = action.getDataControl();
// 4. Access the data control's application module data provider
ApplicationModule am = (ApplicationModule)dc.getDataProvider();
// 5. Cast the AM to call methods on the custom client interface
StoreServiceAM service = (StoreServiceAM)am;
// 6. Call a method on the client interface
service.doSomethingInteresting();
return "SomeNavigationRule";
Can somebody perhaps tell me what I am doing wrong, or of a better approach to resolve this problem. If any more info is needed, please let me know.
I did think about binding the action directly to the logon button on the jsf page, but unfortunately there is additional logic/code that is currently in the backing bean that I do not want to move down into the business components, and some code like the lines below that can not be moved.
HttpSession session = (HttpSession)externalContext.getSession(true);
session.setAttribute(SecurityFilter.SESSION_ATTR_USER, securityDto.getUsername());
session.setAttribute(SecurityFilter.SESSION_ATTR_SECRET, securityDto.getPassword());
session.setAttribute(SecurityFilter.SESSION_ATTR_ROLES, securityDto.getRoles());
return "logonSuccess";
Will really appreciate any help.

Hi,
I managed to find some sort of work around.
I actually dragged and dropped the Client Interface for the custom method from the datacontrol onto my jsf page and created an additional button. I then ran the application and everything worked. Afterwards I went back to my jsf page and removed the newly added button again and removed the newly added methods from my page definition file as well. When I run the application now, the exact same code that I used previously, now seems to work. I changed it to use the findDataControl method as Frank suggested, and that also works now.
What i can not figure out though, is what exactly the the dropping of that dataControl method and removing it again changed on my application to make it work now. Can somebody please try this and see if they can find the answer. I have done a small little sample application where I can replicate the problem exactly which I can provide the steps to if needed.

Runniing Application with GUI interface

Before when i have run a application it has been through the DOS terminal , thus without a GUI. My experince with GUI has been with Applets and running them through a browser or the appletviewer.
The question is how do I run an application program with a GUI interface for testing purposes etc.
Any help would be great cheers.

You can run your application from the command line just like from you DOS terminal programs. All you need is the main method defined for you application in some class file. For example:
public static void main( String[] args ) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.getContentPane().add( new JLabel("Hello world" );
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible( true );
Then run this code by:
java my.test.HelloWorld

Error saying "Error in the module RSQL accessing the database interface"

Hi,
there is a standard program available for retrieving the assets for the given cost centres on the selection screen.
Our requirement is instead of cost centre we have to retrieve the assets for the given cost centre group.
We have to find all the cost centres available on the given cost centre group and its child nodes.
For all these cost centres we will be retriving the asset history data.
So we copied the standard program into another Y program and made the changes to it.
What's happening is if we give the top most Cose centre group node there are 16000 cost centres available . while retriving the asset history data for all these cost centres an runtime error occurs in a standard program saying
"Error in the module RSQL accessing the database interface, " DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_RSQL ".
The error occurs while executing the statement Fetch Next cursor in a standard Include program.
<b>This happens only if we give huge range of data. If we give small range of data it
works fine</b>.
Can anyone help me in this by saying why it occurs and what will be the solution for this.
Thanks.

Hi camila,
The huge range is part of the query string passed to the database.
While an MP3 music gadget easily stores a gigabyte of data, ORACLE was able to increase the maxium size of a query string from 16 k to 32 k bytes in the last 5 years.
<b>Unbelievable but true!</b>
Just multiply the number of entries in the range with the field length and see where go go...

Clemens
