Assigning a role for multiple reports

Hello,
Is there an easy way (drag-and-drop) for assigning 30-40 reports to a role?
Now, I'm doing it one by one, with Query Designer
In PFCFG transaction neither, I couldn't see an easier way..
Thanks.

Hi,
If bunch of queries have some particular naming convention then you can you REP* pattern to assign query to role in PFCG.
e.g. : REP_ABC , REP_XYZ , REP_MNO etc.. then just assign REP* for these queries.

Prompt used as view selector for multiple reports

Hi All,
Can a dashboard prompt be used as View Selector for multiple reports? If yes, please let me know how?
Thanks
Sumita

Hi Sumita,
You can do this with Dashboard prompts, but it's a little tricky. I'll highlight the process below. Keep In mind I assume you have three reports already created and have three views: View 1, View 2 and View 3.
Phase I: The Dashboard Prompt
1. Create a new dashboard prompt.
2. Add any single column to your prompt. It doesn't really matter which one (just make sure nothing is prompted on it to be safe).
3. For the sake of this example, I'll assume we added column: "Test Folder"."Test Field"
4. Make sure your Operator is "is equal to/is in"
5. Make sure the control is "Drop-down List"
6. Change the Show to "SQL Results"
7. Write a SQL statement similar to the following (TEST =<your subject area>, "Test Folder"."Test Field" = <your column>):
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 1' END
FROM TEST
UNION
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 2' END
FROM TEST
UNION
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 3' END
FROM TEST
**Note: The reason why we need to do the CASE statement is because every logical query needs at least 1 presentation column. The case statement is a way to include the presentation column, but since the statement 1=2 is never true, we always use the ELSE condition.
8. Set a presentation variable. Call it VIEW_PVAR
9. Have the Prompt default to Specific Value: View 1
10. Save the Dashboard Prompt and put it into the Dashboard with your reports.
Phase II: Filter Reports
1. Create a new Answer request
2. Bring in your test column twice
3. Change the formula (fx) on the second column to be: '@{VIEW_PVAR}{View 1}'
4. Now add a filter to the presentation variable column
5. Set the operator to "is equal to/is in' and set the value to: View 1
6. Save the Request as "View 1 Filter"
7. Change the value in the filter to: View 2
8. Save the Request as "View 2 Filter"
9. Change the value in the filter to: View 3
10. Save the Request as "View 3 Filter"
Phase III: Guided Navigation
1. Create three sections in your dashboard
2. Rename each section to: View 1, View 2 and View 3 respectively
3. For each of the sections, do the following:
3a. Click on properties
3b. Click on Guided navigation
3c. Set the Guided Navigation to the appropriate Filter report
4. For each of the three sections, do the following:
4a. Add in all three requests
4b. Click on the request properties and select Show and the appropriate view for that section
5. Save your changes to your Dashboard
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!

In the User Administration section of your portal find your newly created user and below select "Assigned Roles" tab then press <Modify> button and look through available roles on portal then just simply add and save. But if you want to do it programmatically see below:
IUserAcountFactory userFactory = UMFactory.getUserAccountFactory();
// IUser - read only but with IUserAccount is possible to set up user data
IUserAccountSearchFilter userFilter = userFactory.getUserAccountSearchFilter();
userFilter.setLogonUid("superuser", ISearchAttribute.LIKE_OPERATOR, false);
ISearchResult sr = userFactory.search(userFilter);
for (final Iterator i = new PrincipalIterator(sr); i.hasNext();) {
IUserAccount user = (IUserAccount) i.next();
Execute the same search for IRole (or IGroup if needed) get the unique id of them and use newRole(...) and addUserToRole(...) methods from IRoleFactory.
Of course you don't need search for this principals if you know uniqueness of them. Use appropriate factories to get'em all by this unique id.

Variant for multiple reports

Hi Experts,
Does anyone know if it's possible to create variants that serve for multiple reports? If so, how?
I have 10 very similar reports which use the same selection screen defined in an include for all of them.
Regards,
Simon

Hi,
It is not possible to create variant for multiple reports as it is said as
you must create a separate variant for each report and then save it with the report where the values will be used.
refer this line in the link

Roles for MSS Reports

We are having some authorization issues with MSS reports. When we try to display the report from MSS , It says no authorization for transaction (name). When we give SAP_ALL to the manager at the backend, it works fine from MSS side. Please suggest if we are missing some thing. What are the standard MSS roles for the reports.
Thanks

Hi,
The MSS reports must have some Program name, say REPORTX or it may be called by some transaction.
Add the report name to the auth object P_ABAP for the MSS role or add the transaction name to the authorisation object S_TCODE and P_TCODE.
Either way, the problem will be resolved.
Or you can remove the SAP_ALL from the manager profile; Login with the userid of the manager. Try to run anyone of the reports and then after it throws the missing authorisation error, type in /nsu53 in the transaction bar and trace the missing authorisation. Accordingly add the same to the managers role.
Thanks and Regards,
Pinki

Roles for showing reports only

Hi experts,
I have created one role in PFCG for BEx in which it is showing like this:
Infoarea -> Infocube -> Reports
Now I want to show only reports and to bypass Infoarea and Infocube.
Please help me to solve this..
Points assured.
Vinod.
Vinod Nagre

Dear Vinod,
what I understood from your query is that u dont want to show the BW Objects user just needs to access the reports. For this do the following
create one role in pfcg goto menu tab there click other (add other objects) button, select the SAP BW Query URL option -> Create Node window will open there u give the Report text and URL in Object description, then under role menu folder that url will come.
Assign this role to user.
When the user login to bw he can see these urls where he can access directly.
Assign Points please.........

Can we use the built-in Row fetch for Multiple reports in a page?

I need to create a page with multiple report regions. Each of it is based on a table. Those tables are different. I somewhat remembered that we can NOT use the built in automatic row fetch process if there are multiple report regions, neither the built in DML process. You have to make your own fetch and insert/update/delete process if you intend to.
Also if I write my own row fetch and update processes, do I have to consider lock mechnism? or just simply write select and insert/update?
Any input is appreciated.

I think I found the answer. Would Scott or other gurus take a look at the thread and confirm it, in case the limitation is not in 2.0?
Re: automatic row fetch
What I am concered about is that the locking mechanism. If I have to write my own process to fetch and insert/update, other than the regular select and insert/update statements, do I have to put commit by myself, or htmldb can handle it automatically? Is there an example for this?
Thanks in advance.

BO xi 3.1 u2013 schedule a template for multiple reports with different column

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to BO, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to schedule a single template with different parameters for all reports in BO, or create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks!

Hi,
The only approach I can think of is to create a template report which uses variables
For each column you would need to variable
v_columnAName and v_columnAValue
v_columnAName would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";NameOf([firstName]);if([client]="clientB";NameOf([SSN]);NameOf([lastName]));
v_columnA would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";[firstName];if([client]="clientB";[SSN],[lastName]));
This would only work when you had a small set of clients.
This might be more managable if it was done in the universe

SCCM 2012 R2 - Setting security Role for SCEP reporting shows nothing.

Have an issue.
I've created a new security role for a user so he can view reports about Endpoint Protection(Just copied Endpoint Manager role and set all permissions to Read) .
But when user runs reports, he gets nothing:

Try setting the "Audit Security" permission to Yes on "Collection" within your custom security role.

Design a single template for multiple reports with different column order

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to Crystal Report 2008, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks in advance.

-As I mentioned you can find Template Field object in Insert menu of crystal report Designer 2008.
As soon as you select Template Field object you will be able to see a box beside ur mouse cursor. Drag and drop this box at required place. Now when you place this object in report you will get some thing like this "<TemplateField1>" listed under Formula Fields tree. Double click "<TemplateField1>" formula to add your conditions.
-I have not tested it for large amount of Customers. However as the number of customer increases the number of conditions will get increased.
For the customer that want the same ordering of columns you can put those customers under one condition.
    for Example...
          if(?Client in ['clientA','clientA']) then
                    <TableName>.<Field>......
-What do you mean be 40 columns? Do you mean 40 fields or you want to show 40 columns in report? Please elaborate.

Amrita

Non scrollable headers for multiple report regions on a page. Please help!!

Hi everyone,
I am having two report regions on my page and am trying to have the static/non scrollable headers for both the report regions. I followed on of the threads in the forum and was able get the static headers for one region, but am not able to for second region. I put my app on apex :
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=38724:1:1083512384327081:::::
workspace:sk
username : guestdev
password :guestdev
Can anyone please help me? Appreciate your help.
regards,
Suma.

Hello Suma,
The first parameter of the MakeStaticHeader() function is your table id, and it defines the "playground" of the function. If you want to apply static headers to two reports, you need to define two unique IDs, one for each report.
Change your SKstandard… report template, and define the table ID to be "table_grab1". Duplicate this template, and change the ID to be "table_grab2". Applied the templates to your reports, and use the correlated IDs as parameters to the MakeStaticHeader() function.

Arie.

Hi,
I had similar requirement wherein I was supposed to display different data using 2 different internal tables on a subscreen area.
The screen consists of two parts: 1) selection-screen with few input fields and two buttons 2) Subscreen area where the report need to be displayed. This report is displayed based on the button that the user is selecting. For this I have done the following things:
1. Capture the sy-ucomm when user is clicking on any of the two buttons in PAI. Then perform data fetch operation.
         MODULE USER_COMMAND_9003 INPUT.
             CASE OK_CODE.
                 WHEN 'DETAIL'.
                   GV_RPT = OK_CODE.
                   PERFORM F_GET_DETAIL_DATA.
                 WHEN 'REPORT'.
                   GV_RPT = OK_CODE.
                   PERFORM F_GET_REPT_DATA.
               ENDCASE.
         ENDMODULE.                 " USER_COMMAND_9003 INPUT
2. Declare two different ALV's with the fieldcat similar to 2 internal tables respectively. Use the above sy-ucomm PBO to call appropriate ALV.
         MODULE DISPLAY_ALV OUTPUT.
           IF GV_RPT EQ 'DETAIL'.
