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.

Changing Oracle Report Output Format at runtime

Dear All,
I've custom Oracle Report in Oracle Apps., and would like to give the users an option to select the output format (XML, TEXT, PDF, etc.) whilst submitting the request.
As a SYSADMIN, we can modify the Output Format value of the concurrent program(Oracle Report in this case) to one we like.
But I would like the user to select this output format option at runtime, rather then hard coding at SYSADMIN level. For that I've to create a Value Set with the desired report output format options, and attach this to the concurrent program.
My question is, how we can make the desired output format to work at runtime?
If any one can help?
Thanks,
Sandeep

Hi Steve,
I couldn't get it...???
I'm running an Oracle Report in Oracle Apps. release 11.5.9
The default output format of this report is TEXT, which is defined in its concurrent program.
This report is submitted using standard request submission screen, and after successful completion we can view the output by pressing "View Output" button on "Requests" screen. This will open an another window and we can view the output page by page. Using "Tools>Copy File..." menu option, we can view the same output in IE window.
Now, how does your resolution fits here and how can I view the same report in XML format?
Many Thanks,
Sandeep

How to generate a second csv file with different report columns selected?

Hi. Everybody:
How to generate a second csv file with different report columns selected?
The first csv file is easy (report attributes -> report export -> enable CSV output Yes). However, our users demand 2 csv files with different report columns selected to meet their different needs.
(The users don't want to have one csv file with all report columns included. They just want to get whatever they need directly, no extra columns)
Thank you for any help!

Hello,
I'm doing it usually. Typically example would be in the report only the column "FIRST_NAME" and "LAST_NAME" displayed whereas
in the csv exported with the UTL_FILE the complete address (street, housenumber, additions, zip, town, state ... ) is written, these things are needed e.g. the form letters.
You do not need another page, just an additional button named e.g. "export_to_csv" on your report page.
The csv export itself is handled from a plsql procedure "stored procedure" ( I like to have business logic outside of apex) which is invoked by pressing the button "export_to_csv". Of course the stored procedure can handle also parameters
An example code would be something like
PROCEDURE srn_brief_mitglieder (
     p_start_mg_nr IN NUMBER,
     p_ende_mg_nr IN NUMBER
AS
export_file          UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;

l_lfd               NUMBER;
l_dateiname          VARCHAR2(100);
l_datum               VARCHAR2(20);

using (var rd = new StreamReader("filename.csv"))
while (!rd.EndOfStream)
var splits = rd.ReadLine().Split(';');
column1.Add(splits[0]);
column2.Add(splits[1]);
// print column1
Console.WriteLine("Column 1:");
foreach (var element in column1)
Console.WriteLine(element);

CMS crash with core files and multiple report output generation

Happy new year to everyone,
Our BOXIR3.1SP6FP2 env has recently started behaving weirdly by triggering multiple output to users inbox and email notification out of scheduled reports. Also we have noticed the CMS crash with core file (almost 4GB) generation at the time of multiple report output.
Most of the times, CMC crashes and recycles itself. At few times, CMS services alone went shut down.
OS details: RHEL 5.5, 32 GB RAM, 8 core processor on each of the clustered node, Oracle 10GR2.4 CMS DB server, 11GR2.4 oracle reporting DB server and oracle 11.1.0.6 client.

Hi Denis,
I'm trying my best for the last few weeks to understand the core issue along with SAP however it is still a mystery.

Below is the observation as part of troubleshooting:
1. CMS breaks at threshold of 3.9 G.
2. CMS DB sits in a different Linux server than BOE server.
3. All core files were generated by boe_cmsd process and are almost 4GB in size (same as max threshold which it breaks).
4. Shell script which I've added in the BOE servers shows that the CMS DB is available/connecting at the time of CMS crash.
5. SAP analysed the Core files and skeptical about the below lines.
     #3 0x58687b80 in skgesigCrash ()
      from /opt/oracle/product/11.1.0/client_1/lib32/libclntsh.so
     #4 0x58687e0d in skgesig_sigactionHandler ()
I'll continue troubleshooting with a hope to fix it at the earliest.
Thanks,
Karthik

Scheduled Report Output to Printer

Hi Guys,
hope you are all well.
Can someone help me. I am have created a report and set this to be schedule at X time. I need the report output via Business Objects XI to be to Printer.
I have set up a printer and set it as a shared printer on the same server BO runs on. I have also set the printer to Default. When I schedule the report and set the Print Settings to Default Printer it does not print...no error messages...but no print. Helppppp as I am going mad.
Many thanks

We just recently migrated to XI R2 on a new server, and did not consider the print settings...until a user noticed they could not print like normal
We recreated the printers on the new server, and people could then choose a specific printer now. (We named the printers the same as the print ID on the server.)
However, people could not choose Default Printer in Infoview (during Schedule). When they chose it, the report would be successful, but we were not sure where the output would go.
I found a few articles on Knowledge base, and I think #1 and #2 may be our best alternatives.
1202786 - A Crystal report printed through InfoView does not use the default printer on the client computer
1203768 - The default printer is not chosen when printing from Infoview
This last one seems little drastic - all scheduled reports on a jobs server would take the behavior of the job server. This seems excessive.
1217095 - Report does not print when scheduled to printer in Crystal Enterprise or BusinessObjects Enterprise
Article #1 &2 will require retooling of the rpt files, but we plan to address the user issues on a per report basis.

Scheduling Report output to a Database Table

Hi,
Scenario:
I have a RPT - loaded on the BO server (BO XI R2) - (which uses a stored procedure and a formula to populate the report) which generates the data in a tabular format.
Requirement:
I would like to insert the resultant rows generated in the report to a database.
Is there a possibility to schedule a report output to a database table?

It seems that what you want to do is some kind of ETL, you should consider a right tool for doing this. For example, BusinessObjects Data Integrator. By BODI, you can directly transform the source data to what you need to the destination.
If you still need the report for presentation, rather than purely using it as a transformation tool, I suggest you do this. Implement a Java program (.NET is also possible) to implement the Program interface, so that you Java program can be added to BusinessObjects Enterprise as a program object. In this Java program, what you do is: first, schedule the report, and then open the report, read the row sets and insert them to the destination table. This process involves the Business Objects Enterprise SDK and the Report Application Server SDK.
Finally, you can in turn schedule this program objects, so that it will periodically run the report and output to the destination table.

Report output format xml, missing column while open in excel for single row

Dear,
There is a strange case, we have an customize concurrent program to display output in xml format. Now Problem is, if query get single record on the bases of parameter then there is no column heading available in excel. However, if parameter meet more than one record then there is no issue with column heading and reports is working find.
Pls have an idea?

Dear Pk,
Here is an example, will show the actual problem. Let explain you, first i have run report by restricting query on single record which output name is "output1", again i run same report by changing where clause so it return multiple row which is "output2". if you past code in text document each one and save it as xml but when you open this file in excel report you will find column heading which rows consist multiple row, however, ouput1 file have no heading columns that's a problem.

Reports output format

Hi all,
How to save a report output in "RTF" format in client system..
As I set the REPORT_DESFORMAT to 'RTF'
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'RTF')
I'm unable to see the report in client machine as they appear in reports cache folder on server.
my server os is windows server 2008 and my client os is windows 7.
Thanks & Regards...

You cannot save a file directly to a client PC. After running the report you have to open the generated file in the browser (with web.show_document, plenty of examples in this forum) and the user can then save the document on his PC.

Diagnostic Reporter Output Format?

Hello; I've just begun working with the Diagnostic Reporter piece that comes with the StorEdge 3x00 software, and I've generated reports and notifications in both XML and non-XML format.
I have no XML experience; when I receive the report in XML format, and I attempt to open in IE, it displays the XML coding for the report. If I open it in Firefox, it also displays the coding, but includes an error at the bottom saying that there "appears to be no style sheet" available for this XML file.
If I use the non-XML format, the report comes in a jumbled plain-text format. Some sections are tidy enough to be read, others aren't.
I've gone through Sun support, and the group that I was directed to stated that no one on their team has any experience with the Diagnostic Reporter tool.
Does anyone have any tools or tips for how to read or reformat the Diagnostic Reporter output? Thanks!

Hi,
While defining Template you have defined the output format as pdf,so edit the template and output format Excel.
Thanks & Regards

Download CSV-File from Interactive Report

Dear all,
I want to download a CSV-File from a Interactive report.
The content of the Rows in Excel:
Erste,"B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P"
IBC ->,"-","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","13","14" [...]
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks for help.

Your CSV-File use "comma" as separator. But Excel think, that CSV-File separator is "semicolon".
Try to set "CSV Separator"=";" in section "Report Attributes" - "Download".

Using .csv files in Crystal Reports for Eclipse?

I recently installed crystal reports for Eclipse and much of the basic CR functionality seems to be there, but then I added a .csv file as an ODA flat file data source and I can see it in my "Data Source Explorer", but can not seem to drag it into my report to actually report on the data in this file. Am I missing some basic step?
Thanks,
Chris

Not all data sources available via the Eclipse Database Explorer component are supported with Crystal Reports for Eclipse.
CSV data sources currently isn't on the [Supported Platforms doc|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20c69834-cfc4-2b10-da81-960222254295]
