Automated Export Discoverer Graphics

Hello Everybody,
I need to find out IF and HOW it is possible to export graphics out of Discoverer 4.1.3.7 / 9i /10G to MSExcell in an automated way. In the online Help of Oracle Discoverer 10G I have found how to Export Graphics, but NOT in an AUTOMATED way.
Do I have to use Shell scripts (Linux) / batch programmes (Windows) to do this?
Any help will be much appreciated ;-)
Hans van Baal

Hello everybody,
the organisation I am trying to find this out for uses Discoverer 4.1.43.07.00.
Thanx

Any help.

Do NOT attempt to use CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GUI_DOWNLOAD. This class and method is for use through the SAPGui and will NOT work within BSP. This information is completely incorrect!
There are lots of existing Weblogs on this subject. Have a look through them for solutions that do work.

Standard Edition automated export

I currently have a SQL Azure database using the old Web edition and have configured automated export. This is very useful for keeping long term daily backups. I am just trying out the new Standard edition and have found the automated export is disabled with
the message "Automated export is not supported for this database".
Please tell me this won't be a Premium only feature as it is the only current way to do an automated backup without the use of a third party tool.

Hello,
The Automated Export (Preview) feature is not support in the new Basic and Standard tiers currently. For disaster recovery solution in Standard edition, you can try to use Database Copy and Manual Export.

AUTOMATED EXPORT FAILED

Hi Azure team,I received the below error mail for automated export.
"We recommend checking that the storage account is available, and that you can perform a manual export to that account. We will attempt to export again at the next scheduled time."1. May i know, What is this message conveying?2. Storage is not accessible during that time?
If yes is answer for 2nd question then please let me know why it was happened?and how could we overcome from this???Kindly help on this by providing suggestions.

Hello,
Did the automated export works on the SQL Database? you can review the Import and export history in the SQL Database server.
The message showed in the mail indicates that automated export failed due to some reason. If your storage account is not accessible, the export may fail as the .bacpac file cannot be stored in the storage.

Automated Export

I am able to setup the automated export. It is not running, no error log/messages nor email notification. Not sure what's happening, it did work once on another db, but it is not working for my production db. Since it is preview
MS is not providing any support.

Hi
it might happens because of permissions.
the process failed if a copy of your current database cannot be made.
if your production db is a clone of a database and not created by the admin user you have to add permissions to it and then it will be able to backed up

Automated export appearing on database list

Hello,
I have an Azure SQL Database (Web edition) with an automated export set for daily exports.
Sometimes (like today for instance) when I log into Azure management portal, I see an additional database listed with the name of my export.
As far as I know, an export should not be listed as a new available database, right?
Why this is happening and how can I fix that?
Thank you,
Igor
.NET Software developer for industrial internet and automation system.

Hello Igor,
Thank you for asking this question.
The Automated Export service creates a database copy of the database you are exporting. It then will perform the export operation on the copy of the database. This is done to guarantee transaction consistency during the export. After the export has completed
the database copy will be deleted.
You can learn more about Import/Export and Automated Export here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh335292.aspx
Additionally if you are interested in our Basic, Standard, or Premium service tiers, they come with built-in restore capabilities.
You can learn more about these capabilities and other business continuity capabilities here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh852669.aspx
If you would like to share more about your scenario or discuss Azure SQL Database's backup and restore capabilities in further detail please email me at Elfish at Microsoft dot com.
Thanks and I hope this helps,

Script to export Discoverer worksheets automatically

Dear All,
Is there a way to create a script to export Discoverer worksheets into excel and save them in a dedicated directory.
We are using Discoverer to create worksheets but we have a huge number of worksheets. We run the reports and export them manually in order to use them in excel files. We want to automate this process.
Please advice,
Thanks

Hi,
Yes there is more than 1 way,
1. You can use the windows command line on the computer where discoverer desktop is installed:
create a batch file containing the commands for exporting a workbook to XLS.
The format is:
<the path to the discoverer home>\dis51usr.exe /connect <user>/<paswword>@<DB Environment> /apps_user /apps_responsibility <Responsibility> /opendb <workbook name> /export XLS "Path for the export and file name" /batch
* I am using oracle apps so I need the responsibility as well, if you are using a DB user then drop that part...
for example, look at the following batch:
echo off
cls
title Export Workbook For Discoverer
md C:\Workbooks\%date:~-7,2%_%date:~-9,1%_%date:~-4,4%
start /wait C:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\BIN\dis51usr.exe /connect ADMIN/AD1234@Test1 /apps_user /apps_responsibility <Responsibility> /opendb "Test for Export" /export XLS "C:\Workbooks\%date:~-7,2%_%date:~-9,1%_%date:~-4,4%\Test For Export" /batch
echo The Export Ended, You can look in the LOG File.
echo.
echo off
exit
2. you can use the java command line and then use it on your server but for that you will need to do a little research.

PDF Export: Missing Graphics

PDF Export: Missing Graphics Below is a section of code we are using to export a document as a PDF. The code will work 99% of the time, but occasionally we are getting the resulting PDF with some of the linked PDF components completely missing! The only way we have been able to reproduce this is (strangely) by continually opening and closing 'Windows Explorer' windows (We are using CS2 on XP), just as the process begins, until the final PDF is created. Our customer (who has hilighted the problem) would clearly not be doing this but we feel there is an issue here. (If the keyboard and mouse are left completely alone, the process is successful... 100% OF THE TIME!). The problem occurs both on site and at base, the linked PDF's are located on the LAN. The code snippet (with error checking taken out for brevity) is below: UIDRef pageUIDRef = PCSImageUtils::GetFirstPageUIDRef(); UIDList temp = ((UIDList)(pageUIDRef)); ErrorCode status = kFailure; do { // obtain command boss InterfacePtr<ICommand> pdfExportCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kPDFExportCmdBoss)); // set export prefs InterfacePtr<IPDFExportPrefs> pdfExportPrefs(pdfExportCmd, UseDefaultIID()); InterfacePtr<IPDFExportPrefs> appExportPrefs((IPDFExportPrefs*)::QuerySessionPreferences(IID_IPDFEXPORTPREFS)); pdfExportPrefs->CopyPrefs(appExportPrefs); // set SysFileData PMString pmFilePath("C:\\Outputfile.PDF"); IDFile sysFilePath(pmFilePath); InterfacePtr<ISysFileData> trgSysFileData(pdfExportCmd, IID_ISYSFILEDATA); trgSysFileData->Set(sysFilePath); // set UI flags InterfacePtr<IUIFlagData> uiFlagData(pdfExportCmd, IID_IUIFLAGDATA); uiFlagData->Set(kSuppressUI); // set UIDList containing pages to output (item list of command) UIDList theList(temp); pdfExportCmd->SetItemList(theList); // set UIDRefs containing pages to output (IOutputPages) InterfacePtr<IOutputPages> outputPages(pdfExportCmd, UseDefaultIID()); outputPages->Clear(); IDataBase* db = theList.GetDataBase(); outputPages->SetMasterDataBase(db); int32 nProgressItems = theList.Length(); for (int32 index = 0 ; index < nProgressItems ; index++) { outputPages->AppendUIDRef(theList.GetRef(index)); } // set PDF document name (get name from IDocument) InterfacePtr<IDocument> doc ((IDocument*)db->QueryInstance(db->GetRootUID(), IID_IDOCUMENT)); PMString documentName; doc->GetName(documentName); outputPages->SetName(documentName); // finally process command status = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(pdfExportCmd); } while(false); Thanks in advance.

Hi Dave,
It looks like a problem with unsafe threads inside command ...
Did you tried set some preferences from next ?
SetPDFExOmitPDF( kExportOmitPDFOFF )
SetPDFExOmitBitmapImages ( kExportOmitBitmapImagesOFF )
may be help you stabilize export process ...

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the .NET Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with your directly.
Is there a reason why you need that much data in a one report? It will take a long time to load or browse around. I suggest you make these reports smaller for your users.

Could not load the automated export settings (Azure Portal)

We have several database setup with "Automated export". The export seems to be running ok, but I am unable to load the settings in the portal.
I get the "Could not load the automated export settings."
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Hello Ballistic2,
Sorry for the inconvenience.
As you know in the automated export first it create a temporary database(transaction consistent replica) in that server and then it is pushed to storage (which you have configured in the automated export). As per the error it seems that there are some
connectivity issue with the storage. If I am not wrong the error that you shared is from operation log of azure portal for sql database. I am not so much sure about the actual issue but yes we can try to nail down the issue. You can do a quick test of connectivity
through SSMS from your local machine.
open SSMS -->connect to local database -->select any database --> (right click) and go to Task and then export data tier application--> select save to windows azure and select the same container that you selected in the automated export
and check if export works or you are getting same error.
If it works then from same SSMS connect to sql azure Database and try the same steps with your database that is failing from the portal.
Please let me know the result.
Regards,
Mukesh

Is the Azure DB automated export broken?

Recently I twice carefully adjusted the schedule of the Automated export of my Azure DB to my storage account. However, each time it created a new database instead. I am 100% sure I correctly adjusted the schedule as I have done a number
of times before. Apparently, the Automated export feature is broken.
Mike McIver

Hi Mike,
Thanks for posting here.
Do you get any error messages on your email. Please specify.
When configure automated export operations for a SQL database, the account must be a server-level principal login or a member of the dbmanager database role. Please check the server login your sepcify in Automated Export configure tab.
What's more, Windows Azure Services has to be allowed to access the database. Windows Azure will first do a full copy of the database to a temporary database prior to creating the .bacpac file. To enable this, go to the "Configure" tab for the
database server and make sure the switch is set to "Yes".
I suggest you to follow these steps and let us know if the issue still persists.
Schedule an Automated Export
Log on to the
Azure Management Portal.
In the navigation pane, click on
SQL Databases. In the list view of SQL databases, click the name of the database you would like to schedule for automated exports.
Click the Configure tab, and then on
Export Status, click Automatic.
On the Automated Export work space, specify settings for the following parameters:
Storage Account
Frequency
Specify the export interval in days.
Specify the start date and time. The time value on the configuration work space is UTC time, so note the offset between UTC time and the time zone where your database is located.
Retention
Credentials for the server that hosts your SQL database. Note that the account must be a server-level principal login - created by the provisioning process - or a member of the
dbmanager database role.
When you have finished configuring the export settings, click
Save.
You can see the time stamp for the last export on under
Automated Export in the Quick Glance section of the
SQL Database Dashboard.
You can see the status and history of a scheduled export operation on the
History tab of the server Quick Start page.
To change the settings for an automated export, select the SQL database, click the
Configure tab, make your changes, and then click Save.

How do I include formatting when I export Discoverer Report to Excel?

Hi All,
Using the Desktop version of Discoverer I can export to excel but the formatting is not included.
But when I use the Plus or Viewer version to export, the formatting is included.
I would like to export using a batch file at the command prompt but the formatting is not included.
Any ideas?
Here is my command line:
c:\ora10g\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect user/pwd@teamprd /opendb "TEST" /sheet "X" /parameter PRODUCT '007441' /batch /export XLS c:\resource_managers\TEST

Hi,
Have you tried exporting to HTML and then opening the HTML in Excel, e.g.
c:\ora10g\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect user/pwd@teamprd /opendb "TEST" /sheet "X" /parameter PRODUCT '007441' /batch /export HTML c:\resource_managers\TEST.xls
Hope that helps,

Automated exports to excel

is there anyway to have a scheduled report - automatically export to excel and email the attachment to a distribution list?
is there another tool i can use in conjunction with discoverer to get this to work.
pareena

Hi Pareena
Please do the folowing...
1. Install Discoverer on a server/ PC which will never be shut down
2. Install a programm called WINAT (or any other Event scheduler ) also on the server.
3. Create a batch file which will invoke Discoverer, open an wbook and sheet from the databse, execute it and get it to export the result as an EXCEL to a folder on the Server. Sample code is ...
C:\orant\discvr31\DIS31USR.EXE /APPS_GWYUID APPLSYSPUB/PUB /APPS_FNDNAM APPS /APPS_USER /APPS_RESPONSIBILITY "ABCD" /connect login/password@connect string /batch /opendb "WorkBook Name" /sheet Number /export XLS C:\report_name.xls.
4. Create yet an another batch file which will pick up this excel file and email it to an email group.
We have been successfully sending out Excel version of a critical report to a set of people every week day morning at 5:00 am using the above route.
All the best.
Thanks
