Available reports/queries in BI

hello experts,
i am new in BI, i ve just finnished setting up a few infocubes in sap BW for my organisation and i am looking at creating a couple of reports using BEx with the data i ve loaded in my infocubes
i know there exist some ready reports i can install, can someone guide me through the process of installing them and what elements need to be installed so i can view these ready-made reports/queries?
thanks

Hi ,
For the available installed queries on a infocube , you can go to tcode - RSRT.
In the field for query name , press F4.
In the below Find field - enter the infocube name and then select Find .
This will give you all the installed queries for the given infocube.
To install the available queries for a infocube ,
1. Go to tcode - RSORBCT .
2. Object Types ->Query Elements -> Query -> Select Objects .
3. In the find field give the infoprovider name and then find .
4. It will display all the queries available for the infoprovider . Select the required infoproviders and then transfer them .
5. Then install them .
or else you can install the infoprovider with the 'Data flow Before and Afterwards' option to install the available queries for the
infoprovider .
This will make the queries available in active version in the system.

Lokesh

Session State in Report Queries

Hi all,
I've got a report query with XML Structure set to advanced. I added two items to session state - a "department name", and a "current date" - these are application items that I want to put in the page header of my report template.
After I load the XML data and go to insert a field, I see some session info available for inserting (appl id, user, report title, etc.) along with my report fields, but I don't see the two session items I added. I took a look at the XML data and they're not there.
How do I get the session items to be included with the XML?
Thanks!!!

Sorry, I should have mentioned I am using a BI Publisher RTF Layout for my report layout, therefore I don't believe I can use it on apex.oracle.com. If BI Publisher is in fact installed there, then please correct me.
I am including session variables with the report, but the session variables between all of the report queries in my application are common between report queries. (Even though I really only want variables specific to each report to be included) When I add or delete a session variable from one report query, it affects all report queries in my application. This could be a feature, but I doubt it since it does not seem intuitive.
In addition, sometimes a random session variable or set of session variables will disappear from the list. (this is what I meant by drop) I cannot seem to determine when/what triggers this action, but it seems like this may occur when I delete a particular report query.
I can try to put up an example on apex.oracle.com, but I'm not sure if this is dependent on the presence of BI Publisher.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Report Queries / XML Size over 30k...

Hi everybody,
I'm generating a report querie, with WORKSPACE IMAGES and it works fine until a certain limit.
I have my query that returns a certain image , for a especified day of the month. If it's a Employee Holiday, png image(an image with 1). If it's a Weekend another png image(orange image).
It works fine in the report:
[http://img141.imageshack.us/i/yearcalendar.jpg/]
When i tried to make this report to pdf, using Report Queries and a RTF made up template, i want to use the Data Source for Report Layout:
XML Data(Download), to test my RTF(logical :P ) , but when that XML download overcomes 30.4k, it gives me an error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: raw variable length too long
Notes: I'm using the [http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/hol08/apexprnt/apexprnt2_otn.htm] . The function that receives a BLOB and turns to CLOB for displaying the image.
Can i configure that 30k XML somewhere? Or i'm just crazy for doing this? :)

Vitor,
Report rows in APEX are processed in a varchar2 array. A varchar2 can hold up to 32k bytes. This applies to report queries as well. What that means is that when using the query from the OBE you referenced:
select
employee_id,
first_name||' '||last_name name,
filename,
mimetype,
blob2clobase64(photo) photo
from oehr_employees
where photo is not null
... then all column values for one row, plus the additional XML markup for each value, can't be longer than 32k bytes. When working with images, you quickly hit that limit, because what blob2clobase64 does is, that it converts your image into a pretty long string. For APEX 4.0 we're looking into ways to lift this limitation. But for now - when using report queries - you're limited to 32k per row. Please note, that's per row, your actual report can be longer, so you can have many rows, as long as none of them exceed 32k. There are however APIs available in APEX (apex_util.get_print_document) that allow you to directly call the print engine, supplying your own XML data and stylesheets. The XML data is stored in a BLOB, and it's up to you how you generate that XML data. So you won't be subject to this limitation.

Marc

Report Queries and collections

Hello!
I want to intergrate a collection query into the report query for pdf-printing.
(Home>Application Builder>Application 111>Shared Components>Report Queries>Edit Report Query)
I trigger the report generation by a submit button. Wheras the collection content is visable in any page it is not within the report query.
What do I do wrong?
Thanks
Dietmar

Hi John!
Thank you for your reply!
The query looks like:
select ordername, ...., ...
from v_odetails
where O_ID in (select c001 from apex_collections where collection_name = 'PRINTLIST')
The collection is filled with ids of orders the user has selected.
It seemed that session information is not available.
But, surprise, now, after a few logins it works perfectly.
Thank you!
Dietmar

SCOM 2012 SP1 availability report in MS Generic Report Libary shows inaccurate data

Hi,
in SCOM 2012 sp1, we have the generic availability report showing many of our web sites with no up time beyond a certain date. The web sites are ok, the web availability monitors are all healthy and the monitors test ok
None of these web availability tests are in Maintenance mode although what we are observing certainly makes us think that they are.
We also have a Web transaction login monitor for WEBSITE(A) that does not show this same outage for a login test.
However WEBSITE(A)'s availability monitor shows the same downtime as the other web availability tests.
Any thoughts on where to look for this problem? Im guessing its a problem placing the data in the Warehouse?
Thanks Lance

Hi,
Based on my understanding, the report shows there is downtime for the web site, but the web site did work well always.
It seems like that there is old data stored in data warehouse, would you please check the report for recent date, such as one day or two days.

Report Queries Rendering Issue

I expect an attachment box with an RTF file to download. When i use the test functionality within shared components>report queries an RTF is generated. Why when i use the link is the RTF not been rendered. I'm using the latest version of apex with an 11g database. I have had trouble with the access control list before; could this be a problem?
Any help will appreciated
Thanks
Kevin

It looks like the issue is within the application and not the configuration as the sample application within the same workspace is okay. Does anyone know why i would encounter an error like this. Have i deleted something accidentally or altered a setting?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Report Queries - Multiple Source queries - One source returns & one doesn't

Hi Folks.
Odd one here.
I have a report query entry in the Shared Components of the APEX UI.
Within the Query are two source queries.
Both return unique column names.
Both use the same bind variable.
When generating a PDF using the call to the report, the data from one query is being returned and the data from another is not.
I have generated a sample XML file from APEX which is populated with data for both queries.
If I import this into MS-Word using the BIP plugin and generate a preview all is fine. All fields using data from both source queries are populated.
When generated via a regular call within APEX it simply does not work. I only get the data from one query.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Anyone had a similar thing?
Any comments/suggestions welcome.
Many thanks
Dogfighter.

Hi Marc
Does this make sense to you?
I have now set up a simple report query and report layout.
The record ID is hard coded into the query so that it only returns one row.
I am using an RTF based template.
If I navigate to Shared Components > Report Queries > Edit Report Query and then press the 'Test Report' button it runs perfectly.
If I copy the 'Print URL:' value from this page and use it as the URL target on any page in the app. it also works perfectly.
If I try and execute the following...
update invoice_summary
set invoice_pdf = APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT (127, -- App ID
'TEST_INVOICE', -- query name
'TEST_INVOICE') -- layout name
where invoice_summary_gsm_id = a.INVOICE_ID;
I get the pdf saved to the BLOB column with the field labels in place but no data.
Three ways of running the report.
Two of them work perfectly but the one I want (generate direct into BLOB column) does not. Why would the exact same report query & report layout work with the other two methods but not the GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT route?
It's not as if the pdf does not get into the BLOB column, it does, but it only has the labels and no values.
Any ideas?
Simon.
PS. I only have one report query and one report layout set up so as to avoid confusion. Both with the same name.

SSRS Report queries begin running slowly, have to stop and start report server to restore performance

We have had a production issue crop up twice now where reports begin running slowly seemingly at random.
When this happens we can see from running SQL Profiler that the report queries are taking an extremely long time to execute. The same queries when run directly in management studio run quickly.
Initially I suspected parameter sniffing, and tried using OPTION (RECOMPILE) in the reports, as well as clearing out the particular query from the plan cache and running the SQL in SSMS to try and get a better plan etc but no amount of jiggery pokery by
me could get the queries to run any faster.
The really weird thing - is that stopping and starting the report server via the reporting services configuration manager instantly cures the problem.
I'd really love to know - why this might be? Is it something to do with the report server closing and re-opening its connections to the database? That's the only sort of thing I can think of...any ideas? Anyone? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
LucasF

Hi LucasF,
In your scenario, usually we can monitor the execution log in Report Database. If you run below query, you can get the results how long the report takes to render (TimeRendering), how long to process the report(TimeProcessing) and how long to retrieve data
from Database(TimeData). You can check the starttime and endtime to know the total time for executing a report.
SELECT TOP1000 *FROM[ReportServer].[dbo].[ExecutionLog2]
More details information, please reference to similar thread below:
Steps for troubleshooting a slow SSRS 2014 server
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance
In SQL Server Reporting Services, a job will be created by SQL Server Agent if any of the following processes is underway:
query execution on a remote or local database server
report processing
report rendering
To cancel a job that is running on the report server, we can cancel the job directly or reduce the report execution time-out value in the SQL Server Management Studio and then will stop query execution. Please refer to the steps below:
Open SQL Server Management Studio, and connect to "Reporting Services".
Under the Report Server node, right-click on the "Jobs" folder and select "Refresh". Then, right-click on "Jobs" again and click "Cancel All Jobs".
Right-click on the Report Server node and open the "Server Properties" dialog.
Click the "Execution" option, and set the "Limit report execution to the following number of seconds:" to a much smaller number. After this issue is resolved, this configuration should revert to the previous state.
Reference:
Managing a Running Process
Setting Time-out Values for Report and Shared Dataset Processing
In addition, we can also use the KILL Transact-SQL statement to terminate a normal connection by terminating the transactions that are associated with the specified session ID. For the details information, you can refer to:
KILL (Transact-SQL)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Applying changes to report queries results in HTML 404 page not found

Hello,
When I try to change report queries (especially by using multiple queries) I frequently get HTML 404 page not found.
This happens when I click Apply Changes after I edited the query, but also quite often just when I try to confirm the changes in the query.
When I logout and then login again, after a few tries, I finally succeed.
The problem of HTML 404 page not found appears quite a few times, even when I try to delete a query or to open one for editing
Can anyone help me out here? It is really frustrating any development of reports with APEX
I'm using APEX version 3.1.2.00.02 with Oracle XE

Where do you publish your site and how do you upload the files?

Can we edit the System Report queries to add some missing fields ?

Hello,
I'm using SAP Business One 2005 A and I was wondering if there was a way to edit the system report queries. Sometime, I'm only missing calculated fields in the existing report. Something as easy as the difference between 2 dates is not working with the formula fields.
Instead of rewriting everything, could we simply see that original query and edit it to add the missing fields ?
I don't like the fact I can't add my own created report from a query in the main menu. Since I couldn't do anything with the Backorder reports by default, I created mine with my own SQL query. Can't I replace the existing one with my own ?
Thank you
Daniel Gagnon

Hi Daniel,
You can edit a system query but then you can only save it as a user query (ie you cannot overwrite the system queries).
User queries can't be placed in the Main Menu using the standard GUI though you could add them to the User Menu tab so your users can get to them easily. I think to add them to the Main Menu would require the development of an add-on that updated the Main Menu and triggered the running of the query when the user clicked on the menu option.
The other thing to look at is using XL Reporter for your reports rather than the Query Generator. With XL Reporter you can automatically add reports to the main menu.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Do report queries require BIP?

Hey all,
I've created a named column report template which works well with Apache FOP to generate a PDF from a report region. The problem with that approach is that the level of detail for the report region makes the screen too cluttered to easily read. So I thought I'd do a summary report region with a button to launch the PDF of the detail via a report query.
I duplicated the report region's source query to a new report query, and set the query to use the same report template the region successfully uses. The XML Schema download looks great, but when I use "Test Report", the resulting PDF is HTML tags with "Internal Server Error 500" and the FOP application.log says "oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: Start of root element expected."
I'm not sure how to debug this, but I noticed the message on the upper right hand side of the Edit Report Query screen says "Report queries are rendered using a custom built RTF layout...", which would infer a requirement for BI Publisher, although I haven't been able to find that stated in any web page, help text, forum message, or book.
If that's the case, is there a technique to mask/hide report region items while still being able to print them?
Anyone?
TIA!
Rich
Edited by: socpres on Oct 23, 2008 10:28 AM (Rich Text doesn't look very nice w/paragraphs)

Hi Rich,
My guess would be that the XML your report query produces doesn't match the XML generated by your report region export. When printing/exporting report regions, the XML data generated for the print server always contains information about your application, page and the session data of your current page. Report queries on the other hand by default only produce the XML needed for you report data. So the actual XML structure is different, hence your report layout might need to reference your attributes slightly differently. In order to make APEX produce the same XML structure when exporting report regions and report queries, simple enable session state inclusion for your report query (it's an attribute on the first page of the report query create wizard and can also be edited on the report query edit page). Even if you don't want to include any actual session state values, this will ensure that same XML structure in both cases. The reason this is working this way is that for report queries, we want to ensure that you can use the same RTF report layouts that you use in BI Publisher.
Regards,
Marc

Using multiple Collections in Report queries

I am using many collections in my Report Queries (where conditions) to create the XML needed for running reports (see where condition below). I name each one with a different collection name. I am seeing some performance issues and it looks like it has to do with the amount of collections I am using. It looks like after around 6 collections used in the query, the sql slows down tremendously. It doesn't matter which ones I use, so it doesn't seem to be a specific one.
Are there issues with using many collections? Should I try using 1 collection and add an identifier to one of the collection columns instead?

Hi,
APEX_COLLECTIONS are special structures that do not have indexes, expect for the one on SEQ_ID. The result is that as the number of collections used in a query increases the number of full table scans on underlying tables kill speed. They are not intended for such heavy use as has been discussed in some of the threads in this forum.
They are extremely useful , but no good for very large data sets or large number of joins. Global temporary tables are also not an option with Apex.
You may have to resort to Materialized Views or intermediate/temp tables to get speed.

Generating report queries

We recently upgraded and we use GR55 to generate report queries used in our financial reports. We are not sure which report groups we need to regenerate and we want to avoid regenerating all of them because for sure not all of these are in use. The way for us to identify if they are in use is to check if the query is attached to a transaction code that will run the query.
Is there a way for us to check if a report group is used with a customized transaction code?

check this Re: how to save pdf in APEX 3.0

Is there any way of knowing all the available reports in a particular module including the Z* reports !?
For example i would like to know all the available reports MM !!

Hello Ramesh,
I see that you have registered just today and this is your first post. Welcome to SDN.
Coming to your question,
1. Go to transaction SE38 and click the Find icon (Ctrl + F).
2. On the search screen, expand the selection criteria (Shift + F9).
3. Enter '1' in the program type.
4. Choose the appropriate application component by using the F4 help for that field.
5. then just click Execute (F8).
However, this does not get you the reports that are created as temporary objects - meaning if you create a Z-program and save it as a local object (dev. class $TMP), this selection will not fetch you that.

Test Report button on report queries

Does anyone know the code/javascript/url behind the test report button on report queries component?
We are having DSN problems using the print url given on the report query. The URL works for some of our developers and not for others.
The test report button on the report query appears to work for everyone but I do not know what is behind the "Test Report" button. If I could recreate the test report button on our page this would be GREAT!
Can anyone help?
