Automated report distribution

We are using Discoverer 3.1. I could not find separate discussion forum for 3.1 so I am trying to get info on this forum.
The report scheduling in 3.1 does not have facility to distribute report (email, FTP, post on server etc.) when report runs at scheduled time. Is there any other way to do this so that users do not have to open scheduled reports and do distribution manually? Any help is appreciated.

I am looking for the same type of solution. Possibly creatiing a PDF file and mailing the resulting file with a distribution list. If you have any update news, please email me with the info.
Thanks,
Chuck Catron

Report Distribution in ERP

Hi all -
Interested in the best technique for report distribution in ERP ECC 6.0 given that BI and Portal are not in scope and ERP licences are limited. Is there report distribution capability in ERP that can be used or do I have to build a small application to send (email) pre-defined reports (I.e. report/variant/email address/frequency stored in custom table) through SAPConnect? I do know that report distribution is addressed in BI but is there any capability in ERP?
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Vinnie -
Wish it were this simple. What I am asking is if there is capability to distribute different reports to different users (not necessarily users with SAP logons) in different formats (xls, html, ...) at predefined frequency (weekly, monthly, quarterly) via an automated process. At a minimum, the report (i.e. program), variant, email address and report frequency (or a trigger/event) would have to be maintained in ERP (i.e. persistently). BI has this type of capability. Is there any similar type or a light version of this in ERP or do I have to build it?
Thanks,
Pat

Report Distribution Expert... scr8_distr_expert.exe

Hello,
We are currently running Crystal Report version 8.5 (Developer Edition) and are in need of the report distribution expert (scr8_distr_expert.exe). I cannot locate this file for download. Does anyone know where / how I can download this file?
To answer the inevitable questions...
- Yes, I have tried the current report viewer. The current version of the Crystal Report Viewer supports version 9.0 and higher.
- No, I cannot purchase or upgrade to a newer version of Crystal Reports (budgetary restraints due to current economic climate)
- No, I do not have a budget to purchase a third-party software application
- Yes, a FREEWARE or OPENSOURCE third-party application would be acceptable
Thanks!

The distribution expert for CR 8.5 is here:

Necesito el Report Distribution Expert para Cristal Reports 9 Gracias!!!

Compas tengo el Cristal Reports 9 y necesito el Report Distribution Expert , No se si ya existe?
Muchas gracias!!

An alternative to Ido's idea is to create your own application using the one of the available SDks in CR 9;
Report Application Server (RDC)
Print Engine APIs
CR for .NET
Java
Note that the Print Engine APIs were retired in version 10 or CR, and the RDC was retired in version 11.5 of Crystal Reports.

CMC Automating Reports Question

Greetings and thanks for taking the time to look this over,
I am looking to automate reports in CMC but cannot find a step-by-step guide to do this successfully. Can anyone provide me with directions? If not, here's the problem:
1: When I import a Crystal report and set it to schedule, with an output of PDF and make that schedule reoccurring - the report does not run. The only reoccurring report that is successfully running is one set to reoccur "now."
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

The version reported in the "about" area is: Product: 12.0 © 2007 Business Objects
I am attempting to schedule specific uploaded crystal reports to run on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. This would seem pretty self explanatory, but somehow it's not working. Here's what I do now:
1: Inside the "Automated Reports" folder, I've created subfolders for the various companies that we report for.
2: I've created various user names for each of those companies. For example: The "Blue Company" folder has a "Blue Company" user name.
3: I upload the Crystal Report in question into the "Blue Company" folder.
4: I go into "properties" for the report.
5: In "default settings", I schedule the recurrence for "Daily" with Days(N) = 1, and the start Date/Time with Today's date and the time at 2:00 AM, with an end date 10 years in the future.
6: I try "Scheduling For" either myself or the username created in step 2.
7: Format is changed to PDF.
8: Destination: Changed to Email. From is set from a company email address. To are other confirmed email addresses. Subject is something like "%SI_NAME%%SI_STARTTIME%" and the Specific Name of something like "%SI_NAME%%SI_STARTTIME%.%EXT%"
9: I then Save the report.
I don't see any other steps to take to force the report schedule to take. If I run these reports "now," they usually run fine, but the recurrence part just refuses to work.
Does this provide you with enough information?

Report Distribution through Email (secure)

Hi,
I have tried emailing reports using SMTP and would kile to know if it is possible to do a secure email using Oracle Reports9iAS in-built 'report distribution via email' feature.
If yes, how can this be done?
Thanks,
Bharat

Bharat,
I now get what you are exactly looking far ( I wasn't sure earlier)
If you are looking for enxryting the mail content before sending, then you should go for a pluggbale mail destination. Tou could also explore oracleWireless destination wihc could be sued for mail destination. I beleive oracleWireless webservice mail destination supports encryption of mail body
I was undarstanding that, you are probbaly don't want to have the receipients ids not exposed in the reports URL. This can be achived by reports bursting/distribution nand you can repeat on a goup which has a db column having mail ids
Thanks

Report Distribution

Can anyone point me to any documentation on how to set up reporting agent reports to automatically be sent to a central file system?
Can someone share their experience with their client regarding reporting distribution?
Appreciate your help!

Hi
As far as my knowledge is concerned this is possible if u r performing distribution based on the column on which u have the date.It should be a group on which u r performing the distribution.
Thanks & Regards

Need some "automated call distribution" resources

Hey guys. This isn't Java but you lot are pretty smart and helpful... (just to get the crawling out of the way).
I need to learn a little about Automated Call Distribution systems in a hurry. I'm looking online for white papers and such but I'm not getting much of use.
If any of you have any resources that can help me learn the differences between tier 1,2 and 3 ACD systems, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks.

Okay, I found out a little.
For those that are interested:
Tier 1:
A general "technician" with broad knowledge of the subject able to field most customer calls.
The technician usually retains ownership of the problem and stays with the customer even where the issue is escalated
Tier 2:
More in-depth knowledge required, possibly of a QA nature
Tier 3:
Specialised "developer" level support
The tiers are not mutually exclusive

Automated reporting in CSA 5.2???

Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge on whether automated reporting can be setup on CSA 5.2, or if anyone has developed a process that would generate automated reports from the CSA events and alerts and have them e-mailed to say, Network Administrators?
Thanks in advance,
Charles

You can configure event sets and use alerts to email them. There are several canned event sets you can use or create your own.
You can configure alerts to use:
Email
SNMP
Log
Custom
Named Pipe

Automating Report Creation and Distribution in B1

I am creating a Sales Report for all Sales Reps. Management wants to break the report into separate PDFs, one for each Rep and email the reports to those reps. Is there a way to automate the whole process so one click will create the reports and email it.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
1. If you report is based on query, you can separate report for each sales rep.
2. There is no automatic option to separate and email crystal report in standard SAP b1.
3. You may try to post such requirement at SDK forum to get some idea.
My suggestions is, create separate query for each sales rep and schedule and email to this report by using standard b1 functionality.
You can also group each report in to one report to present for your management.
Thanks & Regards,
Nagarajan

Report distribution/bursting error

Hi All,
Ive created a distribution.xml file and a report file test.rdf both of which were placed in the approp directory.
The content of the xml file is as follows:
<destinations>

<foreach>
<file id="MyFiles" name="report_&<p_fleet_id>.pdf" format="pdf" instance="this">
<include src="report"/>
</file>
</foreach>

<foreach>
<mail id="ex2"

to="[email protected]"
from="[email protected]"
subject="This mail contains the files for &<p_fleet_id>">
<body srcType="text">
This is the body of the message.
</body>
<attach format="pdf" name="report_&<p_fleet_id>.pdf" srcType="report" instance="this">
<include src="mainSection"/>
</attach>
</mail>
</foreach>
</destinations>
=======================
When I run the report from the browser using
http://atdevaw07:7778/reports/rwservlet/?rs_rpt_key_pirps&REPORT=test.rdf&DISTRIBUTE=YES&DESTINATION=distribution.xml
I get the follwing error message:

Please help!
Thanks

Instead of ...
subject="This mail contains the files for &<p_fleet_id>">
try using ...
subject="This mail contains the files for &am p; &l t; p_fleet_id &g t;."> (escape characters for ampersand & less-than, greater-than symbols).

Report Distribution is extremely Slow

Hello,
I have a report with multiple Queries joined by Data Links. I have 4 Distributions done at the Main Body Level. If I do only 1 distribution, the report is successfully distributed and in a less time.
If all the 4 distributions are put in, then report just goes on and on.
Any ideas or clues or suggestions regarding the same.
I can pass you the report, if required.
Regards
Shivanand R Koppalkar

Hi,
We have used the datalinks for limited number of data, currently the data is over 3000 records for the main query driving other queries.

Automated Report Generation

Hey,
I have a report created which accepts 3 parameters which are now defined as dropdowns. I needs to set up an automated job that passes the oracle report all combinations of these three parameters every night and saves the generated pdf in this case to a specified directory, but I am not quite sure on how to do this, so am I looking for pointers on how to do it and where to start.
Thanks

You could set up a dbms_job (unix daemon) to call the report and execute at a given time.
When you call the report then you can pass the parameters without any problem. (with no user intervention)
I don't have any example but you should be able to find a lot of them.
