Assign 'Report Links - download' permissions to users.

Hi,
Would like to know, the work around to set user base permission to download option under 'Report Links' in BISE1 Dashboard?
The exact path is :
Dashboard -> Page Options -> Edit dashboard -> Report Properties -> Report Links -> download.
Thanks
sunil

Mayank,
Its very much possible to give the read permission to a folder for a particular user. Here is the procedure.
Login to Portal as an admin user
Goto content admin -> navigate to you folder which you need to set read permission
Right click on the folder -> open -> choose permissions
Search for the user and add
Choose the read option from the drop down menu
Save

Report links (download/refresh) on top of report

Hi,
Is there a way to get the Report links such as Download/Refresh on the top of the report instead of the bottom ?
Thanks,
Sheela

Hi, for a particular report, view source and copy the script for download and refresh .
Then use a html box before the report in edit dashboard and paste there.
e.g.
<Aa href="javascript:void(null)" onclick="RefreshPage('saw.dll?{code}
{code}Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/ETL/_Portal/ETL&Page=All\x2520Data\x2520Transfer');return false;" title="Refresh"><img align="absbottom"

Downloading a file from a report link

I have a report link that sends a couple parameters to a secondary page.
The secondary page has a process in it that selects a blob file from a table and then downloads that file.
However, there is no browser download file dialog window that pops-up when the link is clicked.
The file just displays in the browser. So, I'm thinking I have something wrong with my MIME header.
The process that downloads the file is:
<code>
DECLARE
l_length NUMBER;
l_lob_loc BLOB := EMPTY_BLOB();
l_mime_type warm_files.mime_type%TYPE;
BEGIN
apex_application.g_page_text_generated := true;
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
select blob_content, dbms_lob.getlength(blob_content), mime_type
into l_lob_loc, l_length, l_mime_type
from WARM_FILES
where context_id = :P12_CONTEXT_ID
and file_id = :P12_FILE_ID
-- set up HTTP header
OWA_UTIL.mime_header (l_mime_type, FALSE);
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || l_length);
-- close the headers
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file (l_lob_loc);
END;
</code>
The :P12 variables are the parameters coming in from the link.
There are no errors. The file just displays in the browser window.
Any clues as to what I'm missing are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Alan,
try this...
This is my procedure which I adapted to yours...
<code>
DECLARE
l_length NUMBER;
l_lob_loc BLOB := EMPTY_BLOB();
l_mime_type warm_files.mime_type%TYPE;
l_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
apex_application.g_page_text_generated := true;
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
SELECT null,
BLOB_CONTENT,
name,
DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
INTO l_mime_type,
l_lob_loc,
l_file_name,
l_length
from WARM_FILES
where context_id = :P12_CONTEXT_ID
and file_id = :P12_FILE_ID;
-- set up HTTP header
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(l_mime_type,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || l_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||substr(l_file_name,instr(l_file_name,'/')+1)|| '"');
-- close the headers
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file (l_lob_loc);
END;
</code>
Hope it helps.

Report links by user group

hi, is it possible to set the "report links" per user group
for example, the report links are Download, Refresh for user group Sales.
the report links are Download, Refresh and Modify for user group Sales Admin.
Just wanna know whether this can be done.
thanks!

If "Sales" doesn't have the Answers privilege, then the "Modfiy" link won't be rendered even if specified for the request. So you can just keep it in and all users having access to Answers will see it. Read-only users (i.e. no Answers) won't.
Cheers,
C.

ESS - Create Expense Report Link is missing for few users

Hi,
We are on ECC 6.0 Ehp 3 with EP 7.0.
We are using the ESS and in that Standard SAP provided Travel and Expenses Module.
For few of the users, the Create Expense Report link is missing eventhough the user is assigned with the Traveller Role
SAP_FI_TV_TRAVELER
Request you to let me know if any setting needs to be done in the back end/infotype to make the Create Expense Report link visible in the portal.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks and Regards,
Sekar

Hello,
Same happened on our side. User is already set with the proper roles, with the correct info types but when logging in the Portal- she, too, could not view the link for Create Expense Report (which is supposed to Create an expense report for a trip without a travel plan).
When i use my userid, and just switch personnel number to her number, I could create an expense report on her behalf.
That made me conclude that her traveller roles are fine.
Pls help.

Hidden Classic Report - With Download Links

Hi All,
I have a requirement.
I am displaying certain user information through a form i.e with all the fields in the form as READ ONLY / DISLAY ONLY.
I need a XLS/PDF download button allowing users to click and download the particular details on the page.
I tried creating a CLASSIC REPORT.
Made the template as "NO TEMPLATE"
Gave "&nbsp" values to the headers
and hide the columns.
Although it is understood that if i hide/do not show the fields in the report, then the XLS report will be blank.
Is there any other way of doing it ?
Thank you,
Srikumar S

Hi,
I tried the way you did it there.
I am getting the following type of report:
PAGE_ID     REGION_NAME     REGION_CSV_EXPORT_LINK
16     Session Participants     f?p=103:16:11124720394425:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R66413769667879139003_en

The REGION_CSV_EXPORT_LINK is not enabled:
I tried making it as a "Standard Report Column", but that didnt work.
Can you tell me what am i missing.
Thank you once again.

Track which reports are downloaded most by the users

I have Zcubes on which I have reports . Now I want to track which reports are downloaded most from the website and what reports are looked at most of time ? how is this possible?

Sany
You can get the information from St03. You need to go to BI Work Load . This will give you all the details related to the InfoProviders. This will give you the number of reports under each Cube executed by the users. But you need to enable the BI Stats to get this information.

Report Print & Download links

Hi All,
I need a solution to bring the Print and download links on header and footer of the report on OBI 10g. By default we are getting it only on the report footer, the same functionality needed for top of the report too. Can anyone direct me the xml file and code to change?

Hi,
Edit the dashboard and in the Properties tab you can select Report links.
A multi select window pops up: select all the options that you would like to see on the dashboard page.
Let me know if you require any further details.
Thank You.

SSRS How to grant BROWSE permission for reports for all the application users?

Hello,
Problem Statement
I need to allow all of my application users to browse the SSRS reports via logging onto the Report Manager and to some other I even want them to use Report Builder to modify & upload the report.
How could I achieve this.
Environment & Current implementation
We use SQL Server 2012 reporting services.
Custom authentication has been implemented using IAuthenticationExtension Interface. For more details, please refer
this msdn link.
Currently, for each new user created in the application, the admin has to manually give BROWSER role to the username to enable that newly created user to browse the reports.
Is there any way in which we can give "everyone" the BROWSE permission and get rid of this manual permission granting process?
Please feel free to ask for any additional information you need to help me on this issue.
Thanks!

Hi vinaypugalia,
According to your description, you want to grant permissions for users to access report server in a batch, right?
In your scenario, you can use
script files( AddItemSecurity.rss and ConfigureSystemProperties.rss )with the Reporting Services SOAP API to assign permissions. It’s better that you add those users to a user group then run those script.

Calling A Page Process From Report Link

Hello.
I am using Apex 4.2.1 on Oracle 11gR3 and mod_plsql.
I am trying to run a PLSQL after-submit page process when users click a SQL generated link in a classical type report.
For example, my classical report uses the query:
SELECT
E.*,
'<a id="rid" href="f?p=&APP_ID.:31:&SESSION.:ADDROW:::P31_ENAME,P31_MGR,P31_DEPTNO:'
|| E.ENAME
|| ','
|| TO_CHAR(E.MGR)
|| ','
|| TO_CHAR(E.DEPTNO)
|| '">'
|| 'Add New Row'
|| '</a>' AS ADD_ROW
FROM
EMP E
My page also has an after submit PLSQL process defined as:
declare
v_empno     integer;
begin
select nvl(max(empno), 0) + 1
    into v_empno
    from emp;
insert into emp (empno,
                   ename,
                   mgr,
                   deptno)
           values (v_empno,
                   substr(:P31_ENAME,1,1) || '-' || to_char(v_empno),
                   to_number(:P31_MGR),
                   to_number(:P31_DEPTNO));
end;
This process has the condition "Request = Expression 1", where "Expression 1" = ADDROW.
I thought that if users click the "ADD_ROW" report link, then the report items ENAME, MGR, and DEPTNO would be passed to corresponding page items. In addition, the above PLSQL process would be executed and add a new row to the EMP table. The report then would then display the newly added row.
But when I click the report link, I see that my page items are, in fact, assigned the associated report values. But the page process is never executed.
I have looked at both the Session State page and in Debug mode. The processing simply never executes my page process.
Would anyone know why my page process is not being run? And, how can I get the page process to run when users click the report link? Indeed, what is the point of even having a REQUEST tage embedded in the url if it is not recognized bt other processes on the page?
In my apex.oracle.com workspace, I have created an example page in which all of this has been coded:
Workspace: EEG
Username: [email protected]
Password: galaxy123 (all lowercase)
AppID: 27083 (Elie_Goodies)
Page 31 (Test Url Request Option)
I would much appreciate if someone could help me with this as I am puzzled why this is not working.
Thank you very much.
Elie

Hi Elie,
I think it's fixed. It was very close. It's just a matter of timing.
For a REQUEST to be visible after submit you have to submit the page. Something like apex.submit("ADD_ROW") will do that.
Then, when the page renders the REQUEST is empty again.
Same thing with the link, which is what you implemented, the REQUEST is only present during render of the page. Then it's gone when the page is submitted.
All I had to do is move your Process to run Before Header so that it could "see" the value of the request. I didn't touch (or look) and any of the code.
Either On Load Before Header or On Load Before region processing points would have worked here.
Thanks

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:

Report Links In EPM

Hi All,
The report links in EPM and the webi report in EPM give lot of errors.It never worked smoothly for me.
Error like "report does't contain any report".
what could be the permanant fix to this error.
Now i edit the reports which are throughing error and re insert them in the dashboard.
Any help on this please ...?
regards,
Ravichandra

Hi Shrikant,
Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately it is not the solution I'm looking for. Currently I'm testing on Chrome v42+ and almost all of the web user interface is working properly, with the exception of BPF links to EPM Add-In objects which gives the error stated above.
In BPC10NW it was required to download and install a Firefox plugin for it to work correctly on that browser so I'm assuming that there must be a similar way (hopefully!) to make it work on Chrome. I've looked but haven't found any related SAP notes.
Is there any other user having a different experience than I am?
Again, thanks for your time.
Best regards,
Joaquin.

Need to Assign read-only roles to a user in EP

Hello,
I am currently facing a situation wherin I need to assign read-only roles to a user. I need to assign the user admin, system admin and content admin roles to him, but all with read only permissions. Could someone kindly direct me as to how this can be done in EP7.0?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
Karthik.

Hi Karthik,
first, welcome on SDN!
About your question:
Ganesh already showed the way for the PCD. Anyhow, the content admin also can accedd the KM content (if installed); so for KM the settings have to be done, too, i.e. defining only read-permissions for this user on all repositories.
The same holds for System-Admin - Permissions - Portal Permissions, here under the different sections only read access permissions would have to be set.
Anyhow, some areas cannot be restricted in this way, for example the User Management. This could be done only via http://yourserver/useradmin and there via ROLE actions (and not per user).
Still, some areas certainly will stay problematic, so that one maybe would have to strip down the standard roles (create a delta link copy of the content and then remove the problematic areas).
Hope it helps
Detlev
