How to migrate Apex users with existing passwords.

Hi Guys,
Our apex env finally getting a upgrade from 3.1.1 to 4.1.1 (I know, it's been overdue for years)
Some of our apps use 'Application Express' authentication, and have few hundreds users in Apex (and users belong to diff user groups).
The issue is, the 4.1.1 env is set up on a brand new server and DB, we want to migrate these users with their existing passwords from the 3.1.1 env.
I tried exporting the workspace, and the users are exported as below,
 begin
 wwv_flow_fnd_user_api.create_fnd_user (
 p_user_id => '10592934818556549584',
 p_user_name => 'TEST',
 p_first_name => 'a',
 p_last_name => 'b',
 p_description => '',
 p_email_address=> '[email protected]',
 p_web_password => 'E92903DEAD135E6E86BD6B64544D2BD9',
 p_web_password_format => 'HEX_ENCODED_DIGEST_V2',
 p_group_ids => '10592435401495787816:',
 p_developer_privs=> '',
 p_default_schema=> 'TEST',
 p_account_locked=> 'N',
 p_account_expiry=> to_date('201212040000','YYYYMMDDHH24MI'),
 p_failed_access_attempts=> 0,
 p_change_password_on_first_use=> 'Y',
 p_first_password_use_occurred=> 'N',
 p_allow_access_to_schemas => '');
 end;
when I run this in 4.1.1 I had to modify it to the new format as below,
also changed the p_group_ids to new user group but kept the password the same
 begin
 wwv_flow_fnd_user_api.create_fnd_user (
 p_user_id => '',
 p_user_name => 'TEST',
 p_first_name => 'a',
 p_last_name => 'b',
 p_description => '',
 p_email_address=> '[email protected]',
 p_web_password => 'E92903DEAD135E6E86BD6B64544D2BD9',
 p_web_password_format => 'HEX_ENCODED_DIGEST_V2',
 p_group_ids => '1399416797653068:',
 p_developer_privs=> '',
 p_default_schema=> 'TEST',
 p_account_locked=> 'N',
 p_account_expiry=> to_date('201209041006','YYYYMMDDHH24MI'),
 p_failed_access_attempts=> 0,
 p_change_password_on_first_use=> 'Y',
 p_first_password_use_occurred=> 'N',
p_allow_app_building_yn=> 'N',
p_allow_sql_workshop_yn=> 'N',
p_allow_websheet_dev_yn=> 'N',
p_allow_team_development_yn=> 'N',
p_allow_access_to_schemas => '');
 end;
the result was that the user is created fine, but the password is not valid.
Anyone knows how to export apex users with existing password to a new server?
Thanks.

Hi,
Not sure why you say
when I run this in 4.1.1 I had to modify it to the new format as below, If you just run the workspace export sql it should create the Workspace, Groups and Users
The signature of the procedure is below. See the highlighted lines.
procedure create_fnd_user (-- Description:
-- This procedure allows for programatic and bulk creation of users.
-- Example:
-- From sqlplus logged in as the privileged flows user, first
-- ensure that the security group id is set properly, then create
-- your users.
 -- begin wwv_flow_security.g_security_group_id := 20; end;
-- begin
-- for i in 1..10 loop
-- wwv_flow_fnd_user_api.create_fnd_user(
-- p_user_name => 'USER_'||i,
-- p_email_address => 'user_'||i||'@mycompany.com',
-- p_web_password => 'user_'||i) ;
-- end loop;
-- commit;
-- end;
-- Arguments:
-- p_user_id numeric primary key of user
-- p_user_name the username the user uses to login
-- p_first_name informational only
-- p_last_name informational only
 -- p_web_password the unencrypted password for the new user
-- p_group_ids A colon delimited list of group IDs from the table wwv_flow_fnd_user_groups
-- p_developer_privs A colon delmited list of developer privs, privs include:
-- ADMIN:BROWSE:CREATE:DATA_LOADER:DB_MONITOR:EDIT:HELP:MONITOR:SQL:USER_MANAGER
-- p_default_schema A valid oracle schema that is the default schema for use in browsing and
-- creating flows
-- p_allow_access_to_schemas A colon delimited list of oracle schemas that the user is allowed to
-- parse as. If null the user can parse as any schema available to the company.
-- This does not provide privilege it only resticts privilege, so listing a schema
-- does not provide the privilege to parse as a schema, it only restricts that user
-- to that list of schemas.
-- p_attributes_XX These attributes allow you to store arbitary information about a given user.
-- They are for use by flow developers who want to extend user information.
 -- p_web_password_format Identifies the format of the web password.
-- The range of values is CLEAR_TEXT, HEX_ENCODED_DIGEST, DIGEST 
-- p_person_type "E" marks the user as external
-->
Note there is no HEX_ENCODED_DIGEST, DIGEST_V2 listed. It may work, but not obvious from the signature.
Cheers,

Can we show on a dashboard with a report if a discussion is ongoing?

Hello,
When using dashboards with lots of reports on it, it could be interesting to see if for a certain report a discussion is going on without having to open the discussion panel. For the moment I believe that this is not possible?
Can someone help me out on this?
Many regards

You can download Firefox 4.0.1 from here: http://www.mozilla.com/ directly to a USB drive provided there's enough space and then move it to your PC. The installation file is only 12MB

Dashboard with Webi Report link - Cannot access external data

Dear Gurus,
I've a dashboard with access to WEBI report for Language setting.
All works fine for the group: Administrators.
If I take the Users out of the Adminstrators group and assign them normal power user group, I get the message that the external data cannot be accessed. No Error # or so is displayed.
Even if I grant the usergroup Full Control / Power User on the
Universe,
the Connection
Dashboard itself,
WEBI Application
Webservices
Still it does not work.
As far as I can see is, that it can't be a Network (Firewall)-Problem, because it works for the memebers of the Adminstration groups - What else can it be?
I've attached the screen shot for your reference
Cannot find service name=WS_Lang_Pref or you do not have the rights to view this service.

Hi Guys,
This error is fixed by maintaining the security profile for
"Web Service Query"

Recordcount on Dashboard with Drilldown Report

I have the following requirement:
I will have to display the number of records pulled (recordcount) onto a dashboard. Once this has been done then the user may click on the recordcount (example: 100) and a report will show the drill down or records making up the recordcount. So for example the dashboard will show 5 and when the user clicks on 5 it will show 5 records.
Thoughts anyone?

Add the measure with count(column_name) to your RPD and put it in the hierarchy.
regards
John

Change Selection criteria for existing report in Report painter

Hi Experts,
We are on 4.7, using report painter for getting reports for Cost center & Profit Center. For one of the report we have selection criteria as Cost center and cost center group, but now user want us to add new selection field as Cost element and cost element Group to same report. We have tried all the options from GR32 ->Edit-> General Selection, but we don't find cost element in Key figure listed there.
Please let us know how can we add the new field to selection criteria. We also would like to know is this is possible with existing report to add new fields or not? Is that we need to create new report for this?
Thanks in advance..
Shilpa

Shilpa-
In my opinion the best way to troubleshoot issues like this is to go to SAP delivered standard reports and see how they are setup. For example, in your case you want to add cost element and cost element group to your report. There is one standard report from SAP - Transaction :S_ALR_87013611 which has both cost center, cost center group and cost element, cost element group in the selection criteria. You can look how this report is set up, and maintain your report in a similar fashion. Atleast this way, it will give you an idea.
Go to transaction code GRR3 and under library look for report "1SIP-001". By double clicking on the row, you will see how it is maintained.
Hope this helps.

Problem showing BI Publisher Report in Dashboard with Prompt

Hi,
I've created a BI Publisher report using BI Answer as data source. For getting some xml files for building the rtf Template I've set my filter datas to fixed values.
I've created my dashboard with my BIP report and a query from BI Answer.
All was shown correctly now. Now I've also implemented a prompt setting my filter datas.
The BI Answer part is still shown correctly, but my BIP report shows the following error:
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
What's wrong??? Please help ...
Thanks
chrissy

I think I know why it is not working ...
I've 7 BI Answer queries for getting all the required datas for my report.
So I have 7 data sets which I've set to concatenated data-soruce in BI Publisher. Normally parameters and LOVs are disabled, when BI Answer is used for data set, but it isn't anymore when data source is concatenated and so don't use anymore my prompted values ...
How can I use concatenated data source in BIP with prompted values???
If this isn't possible I#m back to one of my other threads ...
BI Answer: Calculation after Total
thanks

How can I overwrite existing reports with Publish Wizard?

Hi,
I uploaded a lot of reports to the Crystal Reports Server 2008 CMS using the Publish Wizard. Now, when I upload changed reports again, the Publish Wizard does not overwrite the existing reports. Instead it renames the new report as "<Name> (2)".
Is there an option ot overwrite the existing report based on the report name, ideally keeping the CID?
Thanks for information
Joern

Hi Jorn,
There is no option to overwrite the destination content, if you want to do that a better tool would be the Import Wizard.
Using the Import Wizard you could specify how you want the imported report being to be treated in instances where it exists also on the Destination system.
From the Import Wizard Guide:
"...you have two options to identify the object and determine if the object already exists on the destination environment:
1. Use the source object's unique identifier (CUID).
2. Use the source object's name and path.
You must decide how you would like the Import Wizard to handle scenarios where the objects already exist on the destination environment."
Please refer to the Import Wizard Guide for the various options available with this tool.

I hope this answer was very helpful to you.
Kind regards,
John

Can we join external Excel file with data to an existing report in BIP

Hi,
I have created a report in BIP and the output being previewed is in Excel.
ex : i'm trying to get emp_id , emp_name, emp_Address from a datasource called "EMPLOYEE_DEV".
Now i have an external excel file (which has data) containg emp_job_title, emp_id, emp_salary...............this data comes from a different datasource called DETAIL_DATABASE.......
My question - is it possible to join an external excel file (from different datasource - DETAIL_DATABASE) to an existing report in BIP(another datsource - EMPLOYEE_DEV ).
Coz at the end i have to show emp_id, emp_name, emp_Address, emp_job_title, emp_salary........by using emp_id as a join between these two.
Please help me with this.
Thanks.

Can you load the data from the excel file into a table that you can query against? If so, you can have two data models: one for the employee_dev and one for detail_database source and then use Concatenated SQL Data Source or you can have a single query with the data you need from both tables.
BI publisher allows you to use a file as a datasource, however I believe it has to be an XML file. You should be able to save the Excel file as XML; however if you want to concatenate the data with another data model with a sql query, the data generated has extra tags and I am not sure if you will be able to use it to create a template.
Hopefully others can chime in and provide any suggestions or experiences they have had in dealing with such situations.

How to change existing reports of sap with CR

Hello Professionals,
I need your help on the following matter:
We recently updated one of our costumers from 2007 to SAP B1 version 8.8
So, now we are able to use the Crystal Reports-Viewer for most of existing standard-reports of SAP, such as the report for open invoices and so on.
To the question:
Our costumer wishes to change the report - instead of information like the installement no. (the costumer doesn't work with payment installements at all) he wishes to have other information, like card code and tel no. within the report.
Now I tried to implement those informations. But I can't, because I don't know how to link the tables concernig primary keys and so on. And where can I find those "PLD-ITEMS"-tables??
Can you help me please and hand over some further "how-to-information"?
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
daniel

Hi Juli,
The procedure of how to link those table is pretty clear - so theoretically I know how I have to proceed within Crystal Reports in order to get some more - more or less useless - information into an existing report by linking some other tables perjoins into an query.
The Problem is - to connect the ocrd or other tables concerning the business partners to the report I need the possibility of a correct and smart link. I can't think of any for a connection to the ritm-table. Gordon mentioned that table in a comment before.
Hi Gordon,
meanwhile I got access to the help-information of the sdk. But how am I supposed to find the right information there? I've been into the section Customization Tools - Database Tables References.
To tell the truth - I got problems understanding those infos and even more important: within the section reports I can't find further information to the open docs-report - is it a 'standard report'?
Greetings and good start into the week tomorrow,
daniel

Replace Report Model with another Report Model for existing reports

Hi All,
I have a report model on which few reports depends and for some reasons I want create a similar report model and repoint all existing reports to new report model. When I am trying to this I get below error. Please help.
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)

The reports that do work do not use an alias for the table/view name and the ones that do NOT work do use an alias. 
 
I went into the "Database Expert..." screen and modified the alias to the actual name of the view. This resets all the fields as well so they are no longer using the alias either. The data now gets returned properly. 
 
I still need to go into each report and modify them but at least I do not have to recreated all the reports.

APEX integration with BI Publisher

I am attempting to integrate our APEX applications to BI Publisher and replace our Oracle Reports.
We are using
APEX 4.0 .2.00.07
BI Publisher Release 10.1.3.4
IE 7.0.5730.13
I setup a simple report query in APEX shared components. The report query has only one source query. I pressed the test report button and the default BIP report came up successfully.
I then created an rtf document using Word 2003 and the BIP plug-ins. All I did was create two fields on the rtf and saved the report on my desktop as a .rtf.
I then created a report layout in APEX and imported the .rft report layout successfully.
I pointed my report query to the new .rtf layout and pressed the test report button and it work successfully.
I then created a button as “redirect to URL’ on an APEX page and created the http: url with the suggested print URL in the report query.
I ran my APEX application and went to the page with the report button. I clicked the button and the report came up fine.
I had another colleague sign into the APEX application and when he pressed the report button on the page all he got was a black browser window. We tested with other colleagues and got mixed results. Some got the report to appear others just a blank page.
We tried the query in both inline and attachment view with the same results.
What was interesting is that everyone was able to run the report within the report query clicking the “Test Report” button.
We are out of ideas on how to resolve this issue.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Frank

Frank,
I had the exact problem when I uploaded and replaced (with the same name) an existing rtf template.
Try the following:
Rename the template and generate a new url to use in the button click.

Trouble with large report

Software:
Oracle database 10.2.0.4.0 on Unix
Forms, reports, OAS 10.1.2.0.2 on my computer Windows XP SP3
Internet explorer 7.0
This is a conversion from 6i to 10g.
I have converted everything but am having problem with large report. It runs fine from report builder, runs fine from the command line, however, when called from a form, it looks like the report was running (about 100 pages) and then for some reason started over…data overlays data. Wish I could include a sample of the output...hard to describe.
If I restricted the report to the first 600 rows of data, it runs fine when called from a form.
Has anyone else had a problem like this? If so, how did you fix it?
Thanks in Advance for any help.
Puzzled

Have you manually created page 3?
What do you exactly want to do on page 3?
Do you want to see and update the data from the selected record in the single record view at the top of the page or
do you want to change the data in the tabular form at the bottom? Because in that case you need a "Multi Row Update" process. Just create a tabular from with the wizard and you can see which processes normally exist.
