Batch Scheduling of reports with parameters

I've been searching the doc and have come up empty so far on this -- how do I take a Discoverer workbook/sheet that accepts a customer account parameter and set it up as a scheduled report?
The trick here is that I want to schedule 100s of these things so that reports are generated for a large number of customer accounts, but not all customer accounts (there are many thousands of customer accounts).

Hi,
Yah! this looks good. Other way would be to use the Schedule command line parameter itself. For example you can have a form application taking the user parameter for individual user plus they can enter the schedule parameters also or you can hardcode them . Then you send this request to Report server which run the jobs at schedule time.
FYI, in report 9i there is a new feature called event triggers also. You can run a report with any event trigger from the database. This may be useful for the solution you have suggested, suppose you wish to run the report as soon as user updates data in database, this even t triggers can be used.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Rohit

Conditional Scheduling of report with Prompt values

Hi All,
My requirement is that I select some values in the dashboard prompt and get the report. Is there any methodlogy to schedule that report with having data in report according to
set prompt values on the fly that is dynamically.
We can a link below the report to schedule it but how can we pass the condition parameters? Please help.

Hi Kishore,
Thanks very much for the reply. It answers one part of the question.
I am thinking to put a text property or button below the report and is it possible to attach the report values with current prompt selection and the request is attached to the in delivery content section which means user need not pick up the delivery content only he has to schedule current report only by clicking the link or button? Can I have script for that.
To make it simple If I am the user I would like to see following:
1. I go to dashboard page and select the prompt and get the report result.
2. I have link or button below to schedule.
3. I press the button I go to delivers section.
4. I have current report attached to the delivery content with default selection or current selection.
5. I modify other parameters and schedule.
Please help me.

Discoverer report with parameters and functions

I am new to Discoverer. Is there a way to create a report (with parameters) of one line per customer such that the following data will be displayed for each customer?
Among the parameters is: from_date (month & year) ,to_date
The basic query gives totals for each date (month & year) for every customer.
Among the fields displayed:
1-customer_id,
2-balance until from_date,
3-total activity between from_date and to_date
I have a function to calculate the total balance until from_date, but then I cannot get the total activity on the same line. I tried using another function and I tried using a total calculation but to no success.
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Hi Markus
You need to determine whether you can in fact call a Discoverer report using a URL before linking it in Portal. You need to run the report in Viewer first and then see copy the URL from the address line of the browser. Then you open another browser and paste the URL. You may well be prompted for a username and password but hopefully the correct report with the right parameters will then execute.
Assuming this works you then paste the same URL link into Portal and you should be able to get the report to run.

I use BO XI 3.1 in Windows 2003 server, after the install I reduced the maximum memory of Java in the tomcat 5.5.2 server from 1024 to 512 because the server never started with the initial size.
Please I need Help.

How to schedule a report with dynamic parameters

We need to schedule a Webi report with dynamic parameters then email the different result to different email groups. Is it possible to do this in scheduler? Please advise. Thanks.

there are 2 schedulers
1st CMS
the reports which does not have any input parameters, only then t can be scheduled in CMS
2nd in Infoview
if report has input parameters and if you want to schedule it, then you may need to schedule the report from Infoview

configure the SMTP server in report JOB Server

Hi,
I am new to this environment. I would like to try and schedule a report monthly with dates (that will change from month to month). ie first and last day of previous month. Is there an easy way of achieving this automatically?

CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Needed to do the same thing, with lots of different date ranges - month to date, year to date, last month, last week, fiscal year, etc. Came up with a solution that takes a bit to set-up but then is re-usable and flexible. I'll do my best to try and explain. 1) Within the universe, created a "CurrentDate" derived table that calculates various points in time (yesterday, first of the week, last of the week, first of last month, last of last month, etc.). Because the product would not let me use an unlinked table in calculations, I used a common table as the "from" in the SQL and included a common identifier so I could link the derived table to an existing table in the universe - I selected a small one with only a few records. Using Oracle here, not SQL, so you'd need to modify to use SQL date functions, and add/delete the calculations you need:select distinctcommonidentiferfield,trunc(sysdate) as CurrentDate,trunc(sysdate)-1 as Yesterday,trunc(sysdate)1 as Tomorrow,case when to_char(sysdate,'D')=2 then trunc(sysdate)-3 when to_char(sysdate,'D')=1 then trunc(sysdate)-2 else trunc(sysdate)-1 end as PriorWorkDay,case when to_char(sysdate,'D')=6 then trunc(sysdate)3 when to_char(sysdate,'D')=7 then trunc(sysdate)2 else trunc(sysdate)1 end as NextWorkDay,case when to_char(sysdate,'D')=5 then trunc(sysdate)4 when to_char(sysdate,'D')=6 then trunc(sysdate)4 else trunc(sysdate)2 end as TwoWorkDaysFromToday,trunc(sysdate,'D') as StartThisWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')6 as EndThisWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')-7 as StartLastWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')-1 as EndLastWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')7 as StartNextWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')13 as EndNextWeek,trunc(sysdate,'MM') as FirstOfThisMonth,trunc(last_day(sysdate)) as LastOfThisMonth,trunc(last_day(add_months(sysdate,-2))1) as FirstOfLastMonth,trunc(last_day(add_months(sysdate,-1))) as LastOfLastMonth,case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate)1 else extract(year from sysdate) end as CurrentFiscalYear,to_date(concat('07/01/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate) else extract(year from sysdate)-1 end),'mm/dd/yyyy') as StartCurrentFiscalYear,to_date(concat('23:59:59 06/30/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate)+1 else extract(year from sysdate) end), 'hh24:mi:ss mm/dd/yyyy') as EndCurrentFiscalYear,case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate) else extract(year from sysdate)-1 end as LastFiscalYear,to_date(concat('07/01/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate)-1 else extract(year from sysdate)-2 end),'mm/dd/yyyy') as StartLastFiscalYear,to_date(concat('23:59:59 06/30/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate) else extract(year from sysdate)-1 end), 'hh24:mi:ss mm/dd/yyyy') as EndLastFiscalYearfromsmallexistingtable 1a) Link the derived "CurrentDate" table to smallexistingtable using
your commonidentiferfield (at least I had to do this, though everything
parsed ok in designer, when used in a query unlinked, it screamed quite
unhappily which is why I ended up basing the query on
smallexistingtable and linking). 2) Created a "Dates" class and objects for each date in the above table, ie. "Current Date", "Yesterday", "Tomorrow", "First of last month", "Last of last month"3) Created an object called Prompt - Date Range - Start Date. This prompts the user to select the date range type they want and also allows for "custom" date ranges for on-demand reports. For scheduled reports, you just select your response as part of the scheduled instance.casewhen @Prompt('Select records for','A',{'Today','Yesterday','Tomorrow','Prior Work Day','Next Work Day','Today -

I also usually include the Prompt - Date Range - Start Date and Prompt - Date Range - End Date objects so that I can use them min(Prompt - Date Range - Start Date) and max(Prompt - Date Range - End Date) in the report header to display the actual date range selected (all the value in Prompt - Date Range - Start Date are exactly the same, I use the min to avoid multiple value errors - same for Prompt - Date Range - End Date, I use max just because logically my brain likes that better). When you refresh the query, it will ask what date range type you want, a start date and end date - used for custom ranges - you can enter any date if not selecting a custom date as it is ignored. Hope that makes sense and is helpful. It's worked really well for me. I also have an even more complicated version (imagine that!) for situations where there may be multiple dates a user can choose from, ie a posting date vs the date of service. It will ask the user which they want and in the Prompt - Date Range - Start Date, a case statement is added to handle the selection/use of different date fields.Deb

Batch scheduling of reports

We want to collect parameters from various users during the day
and then schedule the reports to execute at night as batch jobs.
Is this possible?
I would like to gather the parameters into a temp database and then
read the database to populate the report variables. Is this the best
way or is there something better?
Thanks

Hi,
Yah! this looks good. Other way would be to use the Schedule command line parameter itself. For example you can have a form application taking the user parameter for individual user plus they can enter the schedule parameters also or you can hardcode them . Then you send this request to Report server which run the jobs at schedule time.
FYI, in report 9i there is a new feature called event triggers also. You can run a report with any event trigger from the database. This may be useful for the solution you have suggested, suppose you wish to run the report as soon as user updates data in database, this even t triggers can be used.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Rohit

How to call discoverer report with parameters over http link?

Hi!
I'm using oracle application server 9.0.4 (incl. discoverer).
I have an oracle portal report where I want to call a discoverer report for each line over a http link. It is always the same discoverer report - with each line I want to pass parameters to my discoverer report.
How can I pass parameters to the report? Is there another way rather than using GET parameters?
Thanks
Markus

Hi Markus
You need to determine whether you can in fact call a Discoverer report using a URL before linking it in Portal. You need to run the report in Viewer first and then see copy the URL from the address line of the browser. Then you open another browser and paste the URL. You may well be prompted for a username and password but hopefully the correct report with the right parameters will then execute.
Assuming this works you then paste the same URL link into Portal and you should be able to get the report to run.
Best wishes
Michael

Any inputs greatly appreciated.

SSRS cube report with parameters...and more

Hi,
I have created some basic SSRS reports in the past with parameters, but I was just given the following project by my manager and I would like to find out 2 things:
1. Can this be accomplished using SSRS
2. If yes, what are the High-Level steps needed to get this accomplished
First off, the SSRS report(s) will be connecting to an SSAS cube, so there will be some MDX involved. The cube is fairly simple, 1 measure group and 3 dimensions.
The main piece of this project will be 4 parameters that will be displayed to the user; Quarter, Division, Operations, and ReportList.
The Quarter is just the Quarter that the user wants to run the report for (Q1-2012, Q1-2013, etc..). This will come from the Date Dimension The Division will be a list of all of our internal divisions that we have setup in our Client Dimension
table (Eastern Division, Western Division, etc...). The Operations will be list of operations for each division selected in the Division parameter (Boston Ops, NY Ops, etc...). This list will also come from the Client Dimension. The ReportList
will be a list of all reports that are related to the Division and Operations Selected. For example, Eastern Division and Boston Ops could have 3 reports, Western Division and San Francisco Ops has 5 reports, etc...
The final piece to this is that when the user selects the reports to be generated, they will have to be created into 1 report. This way the user can convert the report to 1 single PDF file or print the report. So if 3 reports were selected, each
report would be a separate page and could then be converted to a single PDF file or printed.
I know that SSRS has the ability to create cascading parameters, so that should take care of dynamically generating the Operations parameter drop down as well as the REportList drop down. Of course, using MDX to accomplish this will tricky since I
haven't done much with MDX.
I guess my last concern is how to generated multiple reports given the parameters selected and have them be combined into 1 report? I was thinking subreports, but not sure if that would work.
Any feedback or concerns/ideas on how this can be accomplished using SSRS?
**Using SSRS 2012
thanks
Scott

Scheduling WEBI reports with API

Is it possible to schedule a WEBI report with an external API?
Explanation: our customers can view their data on our internet site. We want to show a list of reports where they can subscribe. For example: report X with parameter Y each monday morning in Excel format to mailadress Z.
This subscribtion is stored in our Oracle database. The database sends an API to the BO enterprise server. BO schedules and sends the report to the customer.
Regards,
Emiel

Hi
What is the API ? Is it a Text file ? if so then you can schedule the reports based on an event in BO .
Regards
Prashant
