Associate a report to a data provider object

Hi,
I am trying to associate / link a report to a its dataprovider object, how can i do that? I am trying to display a report and also be able to get the sql statement for that object, but getSQL function only available from sqldataprovider.sqlcontainer.sqlselectstatement object, how do i associate a report to a particular SQL statement? I am using BO XI R2. In addition, i also would like to get the estimated time for a report to run, is it possible? Can i use dataprovider object to do so?
Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.
Thanks,
Sue

Hello Sue,
Are you trying to display the SQL for a Query within a Web Intelligence document? If so, you would create a Cell with a formula like: =DataProviderSQL([Query 1]) where the argument is the Query object.
Are you trying to programmatically retrieve the SQL statement using ReportEngine Java (REBean) SDK? If so, it's as you suggest - you'd walk down the SQLContainer expression tree structure, to get the SQL Select and Where clauses.
To get the estimated time to retrieve data, you'd use the DataProvider.getDuration() method, that estimates the time using previous run times.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

Report designer - Check Data Provider button missing

Hi,
We are in Bi 7.0 Sp 17. I found out that reports designer with hierarchies don't offer the 'check data provider' button- In field catalog, over the query, right button. If report has a fixed structure button appears...
I need it to refresh the dataprovider with new filter values set in the query
Have you noticed this? Do you think it's a bug in report designer or can it be my sapgui version?
Regards,
Ruben

Hi Ruben,
I think I am correct in the following, it is my understanding that the Check Data Provider button only works on fixed (Static) structures not dynamic characteristics. Therefore if you add in additional characteristics (dynamic) after you have inserted the dataprovider into the report designer then you will not be able to use the Check Data Provider button.
Please see the following link for explanation.

Hi to all... What is a XML data provider,stored Procedure, personal data

Hi to all... What is a XML data provider,stored Procedure, personal data providers in deski. when we use these data provider in desk top intelligence.. and use of it.
Please give detail description of the above...
Thanks for reply..........

Hi,
We can create Desktop Intelligence reports using XML Data Provider, Personal Data Files and Stored Procedure.
Following is some detailed information about these three.
Xml data provider:
Xml data provider is used for the integration of external data sources stored in XML format.
This is similar to HTML.
Stored Procedure:
A stored procedure is a set of SQL commands that has been compiled and stored on the database server.
Once the stored procedure has been "stored", client applications can execute the stored procedure over and over again without sending it to the database server again and without compiling it again.
Stored procedures improve performance by reducing network traffic and CPU load.
Personal data files:
u2022     *.prn files
     A PRN file is a special type of file which contains instructions for a printer, it tells the printer what to print on the page and where as well as which paper tray to use, what the paper size is and a number of other controls.
u2022     *.asc files
      Between the values of a row any number of carriage returns or blanks are allowed. In any case it is strongly recommended that the data table be stored in such a way that it can be read and edited easily.
       The values may be stored in any format (integer, floating point, exponential notation) and they must be separated at least by one blank. The class information must be of integer type, the row identifiers are interpreted as strings. The lines can have any length and must not contain any comment.
u2022     *.csv files
A CSV file is a specially formatted plain text file which stores spreadsheet or basic database-style information in a very simple format, with one record on each line, and each field within that record separated by a comma.

Using a Web Service as a data provider for a Crystal Report

I'm trying to write a Crystal Reports XI report that uses a Web Service as the data provider. I have a Web Service written in ColdFusion that looks like this. <cfcomponent displayName="FindEmployee" > <cffunction name="FindEmployeeSort" access="remote" returnType="xml" output="false"> <cfdump var=form> <cfset myXML = "">  <cfquery name="EmployeeQuery" datasource="Production"> Select * from employee <cfif isdefined('form.lastname')> WHERE lastname LIKE '%#form.lastname#%' </cfif> Order by lastname asc </cfquery> <cfreturn EmployeeQuery> </cffunction> </cfcomponent> I can get the web service to work from a ColdFusion page (either locally or on a remote server).When I try to create the CR data source, I get the following error:Crystal Reports ! Logon Failed. Details: Cannot find correspondign table information in the XML fileThe steps I took were: * Choose XML from the "Avalable Data Sources" * Choose "Use Web Service Data Source" * Choose "Use HTTP(S) WSDL" with a url of <a href="http://host/directory/FindEmployee.cfc?wsdl">http://host/directory/FindEmployee.cfc?wsdl</a> * Leave the "HTTP(S) Web Service User ID:" and "HTTP(S) Web Service Password:" parameters blank * Accept the defaults for Services, Ports, and Methods. They are respectively FindEmployee, FindEmployee.cfc and FindEmployeeSort. * Then get the errorThe most likely candidate to me is the user id and password, but I have no idea what to use. I didn't have to set any login information up in the ColdFusion pages that I used to test the Web Service.Any ideas where to go from here?Thanks,Brian

Report with XLS as a data provider

Hi
I have a report which has a XLS spreadsheet as a data provider. Whenever I open the report or refresh the data, the data is displayed very slowly, line by line. I have to wait a few minutes while this happens, until all the data has completed being displayed, then I can continue doing what I am doing in deski. Why is this happening and is there anything I can do to stop this?
Thanks.

Crystal report for visual studio 2010 data source object is not valid error

Hello,
I receive an "data source object is not valid" error when I want to print one CR document after setting an ADODB.Recordset on SetDataSource method of my report.
On my developer station, this operation works without problem but on client station, I get this error.
The redistributable package for client is installed on client side (CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi).
Can someone help me?
Thank you.

Thank's for your answers
Dim rsPkLst As ADODB.Recordset = Nothing
Dim report As New crPickingList
' Fill ADODB.Recordset with SQL Statment
If rsPkLst.RecordCount > 0 Then
report.SetDataSource(rsPkLst) ' Error : The data source object is invalid
EndIf
This error appears during "report.SetDataSource(rsPkLst)" instruction.
ADODB drivers are already installed and my ADODB.Recordset is filled with good records.
This project is an updated project from Visual Studio 2003 to Visual studio 2010 and the old version was running fine.
Developer and client station runs under Windows XP SP3.
On developer side I install CRforVS_13_0_1 (BuildVersion=13.0.1.220.Cortez_CR4VS).
On client side I install CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_1.msi.
Both stations use Microsoft .Net Framework 4.
Move to ADO.NET is a solution but, for the moment, I do not have the time to change all applications from my company.
(I get this error from all application updated from VS 2003 to VS 2010 developed since 2005)

How to register/configure a Data Provider with Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m in the process of developing an ADO .Net XML Data Provider which works with Data Sets. I want to use this custom Data Provider through Crystal Report Designer 2008 so that I can access it from the u201CStandard Report Creation Wizard\Available Data Sourcesu201D section. How can I do this? I read the following in the u201Ccreating custom adddins.docu201D documentation.
u201CCrystal Reports (CR) 2008 installs a new managed dll called DotNetExternalCommandAdapter.DLL and installs it into the Global Assembly Cache (GAC). CR 2008 uses this dll to search and load files with a csc prefix in CR 2008u2019s AddIns subdirectory in a similar way it looks for database drivers, export drivers and UFLs. To create an Add-In the developer needs to reference this dll and inherit two classes from it, ICommand and ICommandDLL.u201D
I have the following questions,
1) As it mentions above how can I make Crystal find my custom Data Provider when it searches for the database drivers?
2) Is there another class I can inherit from when creating my custom data provider? If so where can I find some documentation regarding this?
3) Can I register my custom data provider in to the GAC and will Crystal find it if so how can I register my custom Data Provider? Will GACUtil work for Crystal as well?
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Chanaka

Need to Match Result in Report to Data Provider

Hi!
My report is using an Excel file to populate my "Payout" data provider. The data provider has the following values
Performance/Payment/Level
10 pt /5% /1
15 pt /7% /2
My report is calculating a performance of 12 pt which I am trying to match against the "Payout" data provider to get the Payment of 5%. Is this possible in DeskI and if so how?
Any help you can provide will be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
If the number of payment levels is not to big you might concider to put them on one line in the excel file.
Like:
level 1 points | level 1 percentage | level 2 points | level 2 percentage
10 | 5 | 15 | 7
When you read that into BusinessObjects you can then assign the percentages by using the formula:
=If <performance> < <level 1 points> Then 0 Else If <performance> < <level 2 points> Then <level 1 percentage>
Else <level 2 percentage>

Object Array Data Provider Refresh Possible bug

Hello
I am having a problem with Object Array Data Provider in terms that the table's data is not changed corectly after a request as expected, but after two requests.
Steps to reproduce the bug:
0. Create a new Visual Web project, call it 'test'.
Set 'Bundled Tomcat ' or 'Sun 9' as deploy target server.
Edit 'Page1' of the project.
1. Create an Entity class, simple class that has only getters and setters with a few fields (lets say 'id' and 'name').
2. In the SessionBean1 that is generated by the framework create an array of Entity class named 'entityArr', and getters and setters for this field.
3. Add a new Array Object Data Provider on the page and set in its properties as array the array created in the previous step 'entityArr (SessionBean1)'.
4. Add a new table component, and set as data provider the provider created in step 3.
In the Table's Layout map the fields from the Entity class, and set whatever compnents you desire for each component's type or leave the default ones (Static Text).
5. Add a 'property change trigger component' on the page. I called it like this because I tried the following :
5.1 A text field and a button to submit the text value
5.2 A Calendar component with autosubmit
5.3 A DropDown with autosubmit.
6. On the property change trigger component created at step 5 set a value_changed method that changes the the array that should be displayed by the table.
For Example, for a DropDown component, you will have a method like this :
public void dropDown1_processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent event) {
String idStr = (String) event.getNewValue();
System.out.println("Entity id :"+idStr);
if(idStr .equals("item1")) {
fillSessionBean1(true);
else {
fillSessionBean1(false);
getSessionBean1().setItemName(idStr);
private void fillSessionBean1(boolean fillValues) {
Entity[] values ;
if(fillValues) {
values = new Entity[4];
for ( int i=0;i<values.length; i++) {
Entity entity = new Entity();
entity.setDescription("Description "+i);
entity.setName("Name "+i);
entity.setId(i) ;
values[i] = entity;
else {
//values = new Entity[0];
values = null;
getSessionBean1().setEntityArr(values);
7. When running the program, if the selected is Item1, the table does not show the array set if on this branch.
I am using :
Netbeans 5.5 build 20061017100,
Visual Web Pack 070104_2,
Ent.Pack 20061212
jdk 1.6.0
Operating Systems : Both Linux Suse10 and Windows.
If anyone has a solution for this please let me know.

OK
While no one responded, I had to think for myself.
There is a bug in the code generated by netbeans or there is nowhere specified that if you attach an array to a data provider you will have to notify by hand the data provider that the array has changed.
You will have to put this line that is generated in init function in your valuechanged functions :
objectArrayDataProvider1.setArray((java.lang.Object[])getValue("#{SessionBean1.entityArr}"));
I think this aproach is a little bit wrong, even it works.
I believe the data provider should be notified the array has been changed.
There could be a much more simple aproaches :
1. In the code generated by netbeans, if you attach an array to a data provider the data provider will be notified after any set(Object[])
2. The data provider could have a function so you will ne anle to attach to the data provider an Object (the session bean, in my case) and the name of the function that retrieves the array (in my case, 'getEntityArr') .
The code generated by netbeans could add this function easily.
Maybe there are any other better aproaches, and I might be wrong.
It's good that it works.

How to increase the number of data Business Object can pull for a report?

Hi,
I would like to ask around how to increase the number of data Business Object can pull for a report. I have a report which pulls data depending on the date range (ex. From 01/01/2007 - 01/10/2007). But, when the data that is pulled exceeds 5000, the report fails. Is there anyway to increase the number of data that BO can pull?
Thanks

Bobby,
to my knowledge we can't change that. Let me explain this, we have setting in the source system for DS default Data Transfer. there we will assign the processes. if you want to assign 4 you need to change the setting in the source system. For flat files we can change in BW System. We can maintain the setting in the Infopackage level(wht we are assigned in the Source System), but we can't change the process.
in order to check the setting in source system SBIW--> General Settings --> Control Parameters for Data Transfer.
we need to change here, this will effect to all the Data Sources. Before making changes check with your basis.
All the best.

Nagesh Ganisetti.

Netbeans 5.5 + VWP and Object List Data Provider

Hi there.
I'm trying to build an Object List Data Provider as in fieldguide_08_dataProviders.
I'm using Netbeans 5.5 + VWP
When I try to "Configure the Table" on page 360, there are some difference.
When I select Object List Data Provider and drop it on the Table component opens an unexpected choose for the target, then I choose tableRowgroup1.
The JSP souce don't change and is still
<ui:tableRowGroup binding="#{Schedule.tableRowGroup1}" id="tableRowGroup1" rows="10"
sourceData="#{Schedule.defaultTableDataProvider}" sourceVar="currentRow">
When I select objectListDataProvider1 the drop down opposite property list doesn't work. The button opens a selection window with no items.

Report Designer : Data Provider & Report Section .

Hi Experts ,
Is it a mandatory compulsion to insert data provider to create a formatted report in Report designer . can we not create it through report section.
thanks & regards ,
M.S

when you insert a data provider, it automatically creates a Report section. If you start with report section, then you still need to add data provider to it.

Custom Data Provider Not Registered in Report Server (Sql Server 2012)

We have a simple test report project set up and can preview the reports with no errors or problems from the designer. We can deploy the report project, but when trying to view the reports from the browser, we get the following error:
An error as occurred during report processing, (rsProcessingAborted)
An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'LiMeDAS' that is either not registered for this report server or is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. (rsDataExtensionNotFound)
I have followed this article that explained how to register a data provider extension:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/bb326409.aspx
I have placed the assemblies in:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.LIMEDAS\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin
Added the following line to the rsreportserver config file (inside the <extensions><data> tags)
<Extension Name="LiMeDAS" Type="Limedas.Data.Provider.LimedasConnection,Limedas.Data.Provider"/>
and finally added the following to the rssrvpolicy config file (inside the top level CodeGroup tag):
<CodeGroup class="UnionCodeGroup" version="1" PermissionSetName="FullTrust" Name="LiMeDASDataProviderCodeGroup" Description="Grants permission to the LiMeDAS data processing extension for reporting services.">
<IMembershipCondition class="UrlMembershipCondition" version="1" Url="C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.LIMEDAS\Reporting Services\ReportServer\bin\Limedas.Data.Provider.dll"
/>
</CodeGroup>
We have the data extension set up perfectly for the designer, because I can see it as a type of connection and the preview works in the designer.
But, for some reason it does not work in the server. They were set up the same way, but the server will not work. From the report manager page, when we try to add a data source, the only type option is Sql Server, none of the other extensions mentioned in
the config file. Does anyone know what else could cause this issue?

Hi Justin,
According to the error message and the issue can be caused by the edition of your SSRS is not support for the custom data provider. For example the express edition have limitation support on this:
Features Supported by the Editions of SQL Server 2012 .
If your edition is the supportted edition and the issue can be caused by the custom data provider do not necessarily support all the functionality supplied by Reporting Services data processing extensions. In addition, some OLE DB data providers and ODBC
drivers can be used to author and preview reports, but are not designed to support reports published on a report server. For example, the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Jet is not supported on the report server. For more information, see
Data Processing Extensions and .NET Framework Data Providers (SSRS).
If you are running on a 32-bit platform, the data provider must be compiled for a 32-bit platform. If you are running on a 64-bit platform, the data provider must be compiled for the 64-bit platform. You cannot use a 32-bit data provider wrapped with 64-bit
interfaces on a 64 bit platform.
More details information:Data Sources Supported by Reporting Services (SSRS)
Similar thread for your reference：
ERROR: An attempt has been made to use a data extension 'SQL' that is not registered for
this report server.
