Adding Custom "Report Links"

Does anyone know how to add custom "Report Links" to OBIEE? Right now the standard report links available are "Modify", "Refresh", "Printer Friendly", "Download", "Addd to Briefing Book", and "Copy". I want add another option called "Detailed Report" and have it appear along side all the other report links.
Is this possible?
-Joe

I am not aware of a "best practice" for doing exactly what you wish to do. If you have a large number of reports and you wish all to have a "summary" or "detail" that the user can choose, one way to have this functionality is to build a "table of contents" dashboard page composed of "link or image" objects that have, as titles, "Report1 -- Summary" and next to it "Report1 -- Detail" and have them all listed next to each other in column form.
The user can then right off choose if he/she wishes to see the summary version or detailed version of any report and when opening them up (in a new window) can decide whether to print, download, etc. This gives an overall view of all your reports so the user can see everything and at the same time choose between what version of the report he/she wants to view.
As far as "best practices" in general, I have this book which has some good tips:

Adding Report link in SRM web page

Hi
We are having SRM 4.0 with R/3 4.7 as backend in classic scenario.
We have created a custom report in EBP and want to put the report link in the menu of SRM web page on LHS.
Can anyone please let me know the procedure and steps how to do it.
Is it something we can do by adding the link in the templates or some coding is to be done in the web page?
Thanks in advance
Jagadish

Jagadish-
A couple things to check:
1. You made the change to the assigned composite role?
2. Did you do a user comparison after making the role change?
3. To be safe - logoff and logon again to pick-up the changes.
4. Logon via the gui - do you see the new menu option in the gui - if not go back are look at your role it must not have saved as expected.
We have add various tcodes to the menus in the same manner w/out issue. Good luck.
Regards-

Custom report listing database links

I'm trying to determine what tables/views in the EM12c repository contain database link information (if any), so I can create a custom report using it. Has anyone come across an EM schema description or know how to determine what objects/queries are behind a page in EM? If the data isn't centralized in the EM schema, I recognize I could create a Group and run a query against DB_DB_LINKS to generate a link report for all the databases. Is that a better way to do it? I'm open to additional suggestions or tips, since I'm new to the custom reporting features ... (and not trying to reinvent the wheel here). Thanks.

There is no table in em repository database that contains db link information for database targets. The way to get this info is create a dblink in your em repository database for each database target then create plsql package that connect to each target over dblink and writes the info into a table in em repository table. You could also just create a sql job from em and run against each database target.
If you need help with the plsql let me know I have several of these in my em to extract specific data I need from each db target.

Custom report template and URL links

Hello,
I have been working on this problem for some-time and it's starting to get frustrating. I am trying to 'mimic' the functionality of the 'people search' application and I am working on the hierarchy portion of it (page 3).
I copied the (3) custom report templates (one for each level of the hierarchy) and I created three queries to go to each.
My problem is that the links in the report template code keep getting mixed around -- the mgr_id is showing where the mgr_name should be, etc. In the example application the query has about 6 columns, and the template is only showing three (and the order of them in the report attributes doesn't seem to matter. But when I change the column order in my application, the data in the template changes??
Here is an example query:
select MGR_NAME, work_role,
nvl(total_direct,0) Directs, nvl(total_reports,0) Reports
from hr_orgchart_view
where
emp_id = :p3_emp_id
And the matching report template:
<tr align="center" valign="top">
<td align="center"class="instructiontext">
#MGR_NAME#
 
#WORK_ROLE#
 
Directs: #DIRECTS# Total: #REPORTS#</td></tr>
Since the column name is being referenced as the link text, column order should not matter right?
Please shed some light on this situation, as I am holding up development. I am using version 1.6
Thanks,
Jeff

Sorry, the code was messed up in previous post:
Template:
<tr align="center" valign="top">
<td align="center"class="instructiontext">
#MGR_NAME#
 
#WORK_ROLE# 
Directs: #DIRECTS# Total: #REPORTS#</td></tr>

Bypassing selection screen in custom reports added to MSS reporting

I have created a custom report (using PNP) in R/3 and added it to the MSS reporting (not Launchpad). Even though the manager is selecting his subordinate employee and clicks report result, he still sees a selection screen which i have defined in the custom report.
When the manager runs a sap standard report RPTABS50, he sees data of the employee only he selects.
How do i bypass the selection screen in the custom ABAP report i have added to the MSS?
Thanks.

Has to take an alternate approach. Picked a standard report by SAP and modified to our requirements.

If you want to add Z report to esay access first of all you need to create T-code using Tcode se93.
here you need fill some details your progroam name what kind of program it is etc.
Then come to easy accees click on favarities and add that T code.

Create a Link to another (custom) Report

Hi guys,
I'm back again as I'm stuck with trying to create a link between two custom reports.
I'll make it simple, this is the current result when I run the main custom report:
This is its query (I removed all the exlusions to make it short):
SELECT distinct ARPDisplayName0, Count(rsv.ResourceID) AS 'Count' , Publisher0
FROM v_R_System_Valid rsv
LEFT JOIN v_FullCollectionMembership fcm on fcm.ResourceID=rsv.ResourceID
LEFT JOIN v_GS_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE arp on arp.ResourceID=rsv.ResourceID
WHERE fcm.CollectionID = @CollectionID
--- List of Software ---
and (
ARPDisplayName0 LIKE '%Access%'
or ARPDisplayName0 LIKE '%office%'
--- Run the query only on any vendor which includes the word Microsoft ---
and Publisher0 LIKE '%Microsoft%'
--- Exclude/Include any hostnames which contains the following ---
and (rsv.Netbios_Name0 NOT LIKE '%STC%')
GROUP BY ARPDisplayName0, Publisher0
ORDER BY count desc, Publisher0
Now, I'd like to click on the Software name and run this query against it:
SELECT Netbios_Name0
FROM v_R_System_Valid rsv
LEFT JOIN v_FullCollectionMembership fcm on fcm.ResourceID=rsv.ResourceID
LEFT JOIN v_GS_INSTALLED_SOFTWARE arp on arp.ResourceID=rsv.ResourceID
WHERE ARPDisplayName0 LIKE 'Microsoft Visual Studio 2005'
GROUP BY Netbios_Name0
ORDER BY Netbios_Name0
Where "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005" is going to be the variable passed once clicked on it. The above will return a list of hostnames where that software is installed to.
I appreciate any help. Thanks :)

Can you also explain me the alias part aside please? Thanks a lot.
Using your Query above. Notice the Count(rsv.ResourceID) statement.
rsv is an alias for v_R_System_Valid
Each column should have an alias. so ARPDisplayName0 should be arp.ARPDisplayName0, etc. This will prevent conflicts between the various views and ensure that you get the right data returned.

Link in my customized Report Template doesn't work – Apex 3.1

I created a report template based on columns of my report
My query report is:
SELECT MEM_NAS ID, MEM_NOM NAME, MEM_DATE_NAIS BIRTH
FROM ACMT_MEMBRE;
My customized report template have this Row Template definition:
<tr onclick="redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&SESSION.:::6:P6_NAS:#ID#');">
<td #ALIGNMENT# class="t16data_edit">#NAME#</td>
<td #ALIGNMENT# class="t16data_edit">#BIRTH#</td>
</tr>
This would redirect to the page 6 when user click anywhere on a row but it doesn’t work.
I have this error message:
CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');"> CHECK$01');">
I realized that problem is caused by #ID# because if I hardcode this ID, it works.
How can my report template get the “ID” from my query report ?

Is the report template definitely of type Named Column (row template) (defined on App Builder page 4000:4654) and not Generic Columns (column template) (defined on page 400:258)?
Note that the <tt>#ALIGNMENT#</tt> substitution string is not supported in named column templates. Set column alignment explicitly using HTML attributes in the template, or use CSS.
This would redirect to the page 6 when user click anywhere on a row but it doesn’t work.

{code}Where do you see this? It looks like there's a mismatch between the report columns returned by the query and those referenced in the report template. Or the data contains unsafe HTML characters that aren't being escaped.
Yes, my report query has a column called ID and it's set as Hidden. This could be the problem. In a report based on a named column template any columns referenced in the template must be +shown+ in the report, even if (as in this case) the column value is not visible to the user: the positioning of the <tt>#ID#</tt> column placeholder in the <tt>onclick</tt> attribute rather than in a table cell is what makes it "hidden". *The Show checkbox for the ID column must be checked.*
From the gobbledygook being generated it looks like there could be a row selector checkbox column in this report as well? Named column row templates must include substitution placeholders for every shown column. It's also advisable to keep the columns in the same order in the SQL, report column attributes and row template.
Something like
{code}
<tr onclick="redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:6:&SESSION.:::6:P6_NAS:#ID#');">
<td class="t16data_edit">#CHECK$01#</td>
<td class="t16data_edit">#NAME#</td>
<td class="t16data_edit">#BIRTH#</td>
</tr>
{code}
I realized that problem is caused by #ID# because if I hardcode this ID, it works.
How can my report template get the “ID” from my query report ?If the above doesn't help then the easiest way to troubleshoot this would be for you to upload the app to apex.oracle.com and post guest developer credentials for the workspace so we can see the whole thing: template, SQL, and report attributes. Otherwise we're likely to and up with a lot of tedious to and fro here posting bits of code and attribute values.

Adding a custom report to a document set

Hi,
We are trying to add a custom report to a document set in OM. When a sales order is released, the sequence of events to occur is - a standard pick list report runs followed by the custom report(a despatch note).
However, I cannot associate the parameters so that the parameters that are driving the standard apps pick list report are also driving the custom report.
Anyone tried this before?
Thanks muchly

Eventually I figured this out. In 54, the edit dialog for the clickstream cloud is set up in the JS at:
     /libs/cq/personalization/widgets/source/analytics.init.js
Effectively the 'registration' of the various stores is hardcoded in this JS file, with lines like so:
     //eventinfodata
     reg.call(this, CQ_Analytics.EventDataMgr);
So, we could overlay the entire personalization widgets clientlib, but that seems crazy just to add one line of code.
So, what I've done is to write my own clientlib and bolded it onto the cq.personalization category (which the /libs/cq/personalization/widgets clientlib is part of). This JS sets up another listener (on the click of the edit button) which adds the additional tab to the edit dialog.
If anybody is interested in seeing how this was done, buzz me on twitter @tomblackford

Tip: adding metadata for customized reporting

Users sometimes build their own custom reports around dimensions specific to their company. For example, a bank may want to know about financial data elements that are high priority, but violate completeness rules. You can do this with Data Insight 11.5.1.1.
Simply have your Data Insight administrator choose weights, dimensions, priorities, and so on in their Data Insight UI. All of the users can choose Rule Classifications when they edit/create a rule and specify the appropriate items. This metadata is stored in the repository, which you can easily query for custom reports.
For more details, check the Data Insight User's Guide. Enjoy!

Hi,
I hope you wont mind me asking for the steps on how to do this.
The customized data source which i had obtained from the ecc6 is zskat. And the local language which are actually being maintained in the R/3 FI-GL. The following fields in zskat datasource are:
KTOPL     Chart of Accounts
MCOD1     Search Term for Matchcode Search
SAKNR     G/L Account Number
SPRAS     Language Key
TXT20       G/L account short text
TXT50       G/L Account Long Text
If i am not wrong, SPRAS would be the key to the language right? I found that it is in the table T002, but again, how would i know which one would be the correct text?
Since the language translation had been maintained in the source system, i guess i wont need to use the flat file option do i?
Should I find the text data from the source system and load as you had advised? Should I do it through DTP and so on?
Could you show me some steps by steps if possible? Simple one if possible.
Cheers
Tommy

Custom Report on Homepage

I created a custom report and added it to the homepage. However, you have to click on a link (Generating analysis... Click here to view the results) to see the actual report. Is there a way to see the report immediately?
Thanks

Hello,
You can follow these steps to get this resolved:
Go to Admin - Click on Application Customization - Under Application Setup, go to My Homepage Custom Report - Find the Report you would like to reset and click Edit - Check the Execute Report Immediately checkbox.
Thank you,

Custom Report Items in VS2010 or VS2012 ? Does it work

Does anyone know if Custom Report Items actually work in either VS2010 or VS2012.
I have taken the 2008R2 Polygons sample and compiled it using VS2010 and VS2012 and neither actually work in either version.
There are no assembly linking errors, but the compiled dlls either can't be added to the toolbox in VS2012 or can't load the type in VS2010.
I have tried everything and was interested if Microsoft had been able to get it working them selves.
My next step is to write my own, but was wondering if it actually works before I try.
Jamie

Just fixed this myself.
It appears the documentation online is wrong and the sample code is missing a reference to a reporting services dll and an attribute.
What you need to do to get it working in VS2012 is add a reference to: Microsoft.ReportingServices.designer.11.0.dll to the PolygonsDesigner project and then add the following attribute to the PolygonsDesigner class: [ToolboxItem(typeof(Microsoft.ReportDesigner.Shell.CRIToolboxItem))]
I also removed the [System.CLSCompliant(false)] attribute.
You then recompile and place both dlls in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies directory and the PolygonsDesigner.dll into the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin
or what ever is you reporting services path.
You also need to change the Microsoft example for the rereportserver.config file to:
 <ReportItemDesigner>
 <ReportItem Name="Polygons" Type="Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.PolygonsDesigner, PolygonsDesigner" />
 </ReportItemDesigner>
 <ReportItems>
 <ReportItem Name="Polygons" Type="Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.PolygonsCRI,PolygonsCRI"/>
 </ReportItems>
Notice that I changed the namespaces and class to what is in the actual code so if you change it make sure you change it here.
And here in the RSReportDesigner.config:
<ReportItems>
 <ReportItem Name="Polygons" Type="Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.PolygonsCustomReportItem,PolygonsCRI" />
 </ReportItems>
 <ReportItemDesigner>
 <ReportItem Name="Polygons" Type="Microsoft.Samples.ReportingServices.PolygonsDesigner, PolygonsDesigner" />
 </ReportItemDesigner>
 <ReportItemConverter>
 <Converter Source="Chart" Target="Polygons" Type="PolygonsCRI.PolygonsConverter, PolygonsDesigner" />
 </ReportItemConverter>
Notice I haven't changed the last part as I didn't know what the PolygonsCRI.PolygonsConverter was.
And make sure the rssrvpolicy.config looks like this:
 <CodeGroup class="UnionCodeGroup" version="1" PermissionSetName="FullTrust" Description="This code group grants PolygonsCRI.dll FullTrust permission. ">
 <IMembershipCondition class="UrlMembershipCondition" version="1" Url="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.SQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin\PolygonsCRI.dll" />
 </CodeGroup>
After a restart of ssrs and relaunch of VS2012 I opened a test project and added the PolygonsDesigner.dll to the toolbox and it works.

Custom Report - Urgent

Hi,
I am creating a Custom Report wherein the end-user should be able to bring up the email client by clicking on the name in the report. When I am giving - where EMAIL_ADDRESS is a field in select statement. It brings up the email client with the string "EMAIL_ADDRESS" in the "TO" field rather than the actual email address of the person. Can anyone please let me know how to achieve the desired result.
Thanks in advance.

it tries like this:
we usually added like this ourselves <a href = " url">nome link </a>, place simple quotation marks '

[Extend DBI] specify the drill-down report for the custom report column

Hi,
I realized two custom reports by using the extend DBI tools:
1st report displays the sum of invoices amounts grouped by Operating Units.
2nd report display the details of invoices for all Operating Units
In the 1st report I specified a link on the column Operating Units to drill-down at 2nd report.
The problem is how specified the drill-down link so that the 2nd report display only the detail of invoices for the selected Operating Unit?
Thanks.

Adding the time dimenstions like Year, Quarter, Period, Week is quite possible.
Steps would be:
1. make sure your data source (Table/View has these columns). If you don't have them you can generate them by joining the date of the data table with FIII_TIME_DAY.
2. Map these new columns to appropriate Dimesnions. (Lile Enterprise Year, Enterprise Quarter etc.)
Once you have done these two your report will work for the Time Dimensions.
I dont think its possible to get the Prior Period functionality unless you use a generated datasource.

Sudeep
