API to retrieve SQL query from a Webi Document

Hi,
Which API can be used to retrieve the Oracle SQL query for a webi report using BO XI web services SDK? The report is connected to a Oracle database in the backend.
A sample code is greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
Liz

Hi Liz,
The libraries for the Enterprise and Report Engine SDKs are included with your Enterprise installation and the location will vary with each version:
XI Release 1 and Release 2
XI Release 1 (assuming it's installed on C:\):
- Windows: C:\Program Files\Common\3.0\java\lib
- Linux/UNIX: (INSTALL_DIR)/java/lib
XI Release 2:
- Windows: (INSTALL_DIR)\Business Objects\Common\3.5\java\lib
- Linux/UNIX: (INSTALL_DIR)/java/lib
There are quite a few JAR files in this location, but you should only need the following set for Enterprise & REBean with XI Release 1 or XI Release 2:
From the java\lib directory
- boconfig.jar
- cecore.jar
- celib.jar
- ceplugins.jar
- cereports.jar
- cesession.jar
- ceutils.jar
- cexsd.jar
- corbaidl.jar
- ebus405.jar
- jtools.jar
- keycodeDecoder.jar
- rebean.common.jar
- rebean.fc.jar
- rebean.jar
- rebean.wi.jar
- rpoifs.jar
- Serialization.jar
- URIUtil.jar
- wilog.jar
From the java\lib\external directory:
- Concurrent.jar
- freessl201.jar
- icu4j.jar
- jaxrpc.jar
- jsafe.jar
- log4j.jar
- pullparser.jar
- saaj.jar
- sslj.jar
- xbean.jar
- xercesImpl.jar
- xml-apis.jar
BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.0
- Windows: (INSTALL_DIR)\Business Objects\Common\4.0\java\lib
- Linux/UNIX: (INSTALL_DIR)/java/lib
You can find a list of required JAR files in the [XI 3.0 Enterprise SDK Developer Guide|https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/7298].
Cheers,
Parin

Retrieve SQL Query from report without RAS.

We have a fat client application which uses Crystal Reports. We upgraded from the RDC/ActiveX viewer to the .Net SDK/.Net Viewer. One feature that we miss is that we used to read the SQL Query that a report used and wrote it to our log file. This helped with debugging and with troubleshooting problems in the field.
Since we only deploy the freely distributable Crystal Reports model and I don't think that RAS falls into this category is there a way which we can read the SQL Query from a report? If not, could you add this to a list of requested features for future versions.
I understand why you removed the ability to set the SQL query, but simply reading it does add value. Maybe it is difficult for you to return this before the report is run in which case giving us the ability to read the value after the report has been run would also be fine.
Alternatively some sort of event that is fired each time a query is executed would also be helpful as this would allow Crystal Reports clients to monitor SQL from sub-reports. You could even build a robust logging mechanism which could report additional information (i.e. number of rows returned, formula evaluations, or anything related to report execution). All of this would make troubleshooting report issues easier for those of us who use Crystal Reports.

Need to know what version of CR you are using?
You can use InProc RAS, it comes with CR and is distributed with the runtime files.
If you are using CR Basic or the version that comes with Visual Studio .NET then no this will not be added to that product line. It is basic functionality only. You will need to upgrade to a Developer version of Crystal reports to take advantage of the the RCAPI features as well as more general API's.
There is logging for our DB drivers but the log files get very large. If you use ODBC then you have the option to turn on tracing also. Using RAS you don't need to turn on logging as you can get the SQL. This won't be added either.
Thank you

Dynamic charting in J2ME using SVG - based on SQL query from a web server

Hi
I am creating a J2ME application which needs to generate dynamic charts for the user.
The data for generating the charts is stored on a web server. In order to have minimal computations on the mobile device, I want to generate the charts on the web server itself.
I have written a code which generates svg (svg tiny) charts dynamically on a web server based on sql queries on a database . Now I want a J2ME client app to be able to retrieve this data through a web service.
Can someone guide me as to how to return svg files from a java web service.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Sparsh

Hi
Actually, I am developing my application using Netbeans 6. In order to connect to my web service , I am using the J2ME client to web service as the type of my project and that uses the above mentioned API's.
My question is how do I enable my web service to return a SVG file , and then how do I retrieve it in the J2ME client. Any example application that anyone knows online would be really helpful

Extracting SQL statement from a Webi document's data provider using SDK.

Hi all,
Is it possible to extract the SQL statement from an existing Webi document's data provider using BO SDK? I've searched through the class library but haven't found any information on this yet. If you have done it, could you provide some guidance. Many thanks.

I found the following Java code that might be of some help to you. I realize you are using .NET but this might push you down the right path.
The trick here is to use the Report Engine SDK to get the DataProvider of the DocumentInstance. Then, look at the SQLDataProvider to get your SQLContainer.
My apologies for the poor formatting. This didn't copy and paste over to the forums very well. I've cleaned up as much as I could.

BusinessObject 4.0 API to get SQL statement from webi or crystal report

Hello,
Need your help.... could you confirm whether BusinessObjects 4.0 provides any SDK, API or Web Service to get physical SQL statement from the webi or crystal reports file?
If so, could you provide name of package, class and method?
If I am not wrong, there is an SDK in v3.0 that allows to extract the SQL. But I am reading a lot on these forums that lot of SDK classes and functions are deprecated / removed in v4.0.
Thanks for your help.
Omer

For Crystal Reports in BI 4.0 to retrieve the SQL query you can use Report Application Server SDK. Here is a code snippet that retrieves the SQL statement.
//oInfoObjectReport is of type IInfoObject corresponding to the crystal report.
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = reportAppFactory.openDocument(oInfoObjectReport, 0, Locale.ENGLISH);
 //for all crystal reports
 GroupPath grpPath = new GroupPath();
 //get CR SQL query string
 String reportSQL=reportClientDoc.getRowsetController().getSQLStatement(grpPath,null);
 System.out.println("report SQL String: "+reportSQL);
 //for report whose datasource is command object:
 Tables tables = reportClientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables();
 for (int i = 0; i < tables.size(); i++)
 ITable table = tables.getTable(i);
 ICommandTable ic= (ICommandTable) table;
 //Command can be obtained from the report using getCommandObject() method
 //get CR SQL query string
 String SQLText=ic.getCommandText();
 System.out.println("SQLText_"+i+": "+SQLText);
Here are useful links for BI 4.0

Call BW query from a Web application

Hi,
I am trying to call a BW query from a Web application. Could you please let me know how to pass the parameters to the query.
Thanks,
Rekha

I don't know about db2 APIS, but you can use JDBC to connect to DB2 physical files/tables with the DB2 driver. You would need the jar file with the driver info though. I've done this with the webshpere appserver.
import com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver;
Class.forName("com.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
connectionVar = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2://SERVERNAME/LIBRARY", "user", "passwd");
That's the basic info that will get you connected and then you can access any files or tables that are in that library with SQL. You would have to use the Java API though - statements, resulsets etc. Hope it helps.

Hi,
Depends on datasource type but you could have a look at ODBC trace or if you have access to the SQL Server you could use profiler to monitor the session.

And this will only be of use if you know which Server/Insstance/Database the Report is connecting to...

How to run a sql query from a button in apex 3.0

Hi,
I am brand new and went through/installed the obe project tracker. I have need to create a simple application that displays a result (2 fields, name and license number) based on two parameters (dob and login id) which all are stored in 1 table in the database. I could this very simply in VB or VB.net but have no idea how to do it in apex.
Please provide guidance,
Thank you,
Tom

Hi Tom,
Sounds like a report region will satisfy your requirements.
Create a new report region on one of your pages.
Choose SQL Report and give the region a title.
When you get to the "Enter SQL Query or PL/SQL function returning a SQL Query:" step, type:
SELECT name, license_number
FROM <insert_your_table_name_here>
WHERE dob = :P<n>_dob
AND login_id = :P<n>loginid(replace <n> with the page number that the region is on and use your own table name).
Don't try to run the page yet - it will give 'No data found'
Now, go back to the Page Definition screen and add two items in the region you just created - call them P<n>dob and P<n>login_id
Then, create a button in the same region (to be displayed amongst the region's items) - call it P<n>_GO and click 'Create' (take all the other defaults).
Now you can run the page, put some values into the fields and click go.
If you want to get fancier, you can change the text items to select lists etc. - let us know if you need help with that.
Hope this helps,
Bryan.

Oracle SQL Query from EXCEL 2007 with prompt

Hello,
I have many excel reports where I am pulling information from our Oracle 9 db through Excel using the following method:
http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/microsoft-excel/how-to-query-oracle-from-excel-2007/
http://blog.mclaughlinsoftware.com/2009/11/30/sql-query-in-excel-2007/
However, I am having trouble when I try the following query due to the prompt:
SELECT
IM.ITEM_GROUP,
IM.ITEM,
IM.DESCRIPTION
FROM
LAWSON.ITEMMAST IM
WHERE
IM.ITEM = '&ITEM';
Does any one know how I can connect a prompt to an excel cell and then pass the query on to Oracle, or have a PL SQL prompt work from Excel?
Thanks,
Ben

The 'prompt' as you call it is a sqlplus feature, so does not belong to the SQL language
You would need to write a stored procedure returning a resultset.
create or replace procedure foo(rc in out sys_refcursor, p_item) as
begin
open rc for
'SELECT
IM.ITEM_GROUP,
IM.ITEM,
IM.DESCRIPTION
FROM
LAWSON.ITEMMAST IM
WHERE
IM.ITEM = '||p_item;
end;
and call that using ODBC or asp.net
Obviously this is profusely documented.

Export SQL query from link or button

I want to list several 'canned' SQL queries on one page as buttons or links; and have the result of selection be an immediate extract/download to excel of the data.
How can I best do this?
I suppose I could create separate hidden regions with their own reports that could somehow be referenced in the link. I would like to avoid doing all that, if I can create a package or process that includes the SQL query and that can be called in the link.
Thanks in advance,
Rich
Edit:
Found 'Report Query' functionality in Apex v3.2.1: However I am unable to get this to work; tells me my printer is not set up. I don't want to print the detail, I want it to be downloaded into excel... I don't have a printer configured - & don't want to. The URL provided for download as attachment is:
f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=reportname
I also have no page 0.
Help?

Sql query from Oracle/Hyperion

Hi, guys. my problem is:
My work environment is windows 2003 server sp2 on both servers, to have a Hyperion System 9.2 and the other Hyperion System 9.3.1. I have an Oracle ODBC server to fetch data.
When you load data from an Oracle database (version 9.2.0.5) to an Essbase cube through a rule file sql Hyperion System with version 9.2 everything works fine, I am all the necessary information. But when I try to do the same (in another server, version 9.3.1 Hyperion System) with the sql query does not do well. What is the problem. the bag is a bad version or set the ODBC
please help me
Thank you very much.
Alberto.

without knowing more information, I'm going to guess the probem is with the ODBC driver. Try using the SQL in a tool like toad to use the ODBC to query the data. That will tell you if it is an ODBC issue or not.

SQL query from toplink expression

Hi,
I have a oracle.toplink.expressions.Expression object with me which has been created using oracle.toplink.expressions.ExpressionBuilder. I want to find its equivalent SQL query(say select emp.empname,emp.empId from employee emp) which will be fired in order to fetch data i.e. find its equivalent Statement/PreparedStatement or anything which will help me obtain the raw SQL statement about to be fired.
Please let me know if there is any soln.
Thanks,
Adithya.

You can create ReadAllQuery with the expression and get the query's SQL using query.prepareCall() and then query.getSQLString().
