BI Content FI-GL (New) reporting is useless! Feel free to comment...

Dear all,
After setting up and testing standard BI Content for FI-GL (New), I am coming to the conclusion that the delivered reporting component is useless!
1. Financial Statement Versions cannot be mapped onto transaction figures because the latter are always given in terms of the Operational Chart of Accounts (CoA) whereas the former are mostly defined according to the CoA of the Group accounts or Local (i.e. country) CoAs. This is natural since FSV is primarily used for (corporate/local) reporting purposes in SAP.
The examples given in the literature are misleading since they always depicts the sample 'INT' CoA.
Therefore, one has to enhance the function module
RS_BCT_FIGL_DATA_GET
to derive the relevant "reporting" CoA from transaction figures ("reporting", by contrast with "operational", corresponding to FSV definitions).
2. The content queries - once corrected; cf. note 1121942 - defined on the virtual InfoProvider
0FIGL_V10
are quite obsolete; for they do not use the FSV: they use range of G/L Accounts!!!
This is really annoying when you think that BI Content will enable you to show something to your client in a very straightforward way.
If you have a similar experience, please share it here and give your comments.
Thxs.

Sure Laurent - however in your environment it seems that the blueprint has not highlighted the problems
I would have been screaming from the rafters if I known I had a local CoA that dominated reporting
In this case I might have looked at the group COA and consolidated in Outlooksoft and left the co code COAs to handle local FSV reporting (rather than use co code specifics)
Alternatively I would have set up a totals table in GLX (FI-SL) in sub ECC 6 or an alternate ledger in ECC6 to handle the alternative reporting - then new cube and copy the virtual cube function module code (and change the hard coded cube) to do the FSV reporting correctly
Oy course there are many ways to skin a cat (and many other ways to do this) - the problem I guess you are having is that you have an existing implementation where these considerations where not blueprinted or even brought up

How to created a new report in content tracker report?

Hi
I need to created a new report that show who modified the document's metadata and when, but I have never used Content Tracker and I do not know how.
Appreciate the help you can give me.
Thanks.

Hello,
The content tracker and ContentTrackerReports components can be installed in UCM server by simple clickable options. Below are the steps to install the Content tacker and Content report.
Steps:
1. Open the UCM instance with admin
2. Click Admin Server under Administration link.
3. Click Content Tracker and ContentTrackerReports checkbox ( under Document Management)
4. Now Click the update button at the bottom.
5. Restart the UCM server instance to see the changes.
Now you will see an option for Content Tracker Reporting. It has some default reports.
Let me know how it goes. If you need.... will explain how you can create your custom reports.
If its helpful then please mark correct or helpful answer.

Open BLOB Content from an Interactive Report in a New Window

Hi All,
I have an Interactive Report with the following query:
SELECT ID,
FILE_NAME,
FILE_MIME_TYPE,
FILE_CHARACTER_SET,
DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(FILE_CONTENT) FILE_CONTENT,
FILE_LAST_UPDATED
FROM FILESThe Number/Date Format property for the FILE_CONTENT column is as follow:
DOWNLOAD:FILES:FILE_CONTENT:ID::FILE_MIME_TYPE:FILE_NAME:FILE_LAST_UPDATE:FILE_CHARACTER_SET:attachment:DownloadWhen I click on the FILE_CONTENT link in the report, depending on the type of file, it opens in a new window or in my report’s window.
I am trying to set the link to always open the content in a new window. I tried changing the Link Attributes to target="_blank" but it did not work.
There is an example in the Package Application “Sample File Upload and Download” on apex.oracle.com. Page 1 has a report that allows you to add files. You can add files such as PDF, SQL, or TXT file in order to replicate my situation.
I appreciate any help!
Thanks,
Erick

The problem is solved!
Apparently the Content Disposition: Attachment in the BLOB Download Format Mask does the trick.
For some reason I have to logout and login again in the application to see the change.
I tried changing the Content Disposition to Inline and then back to Attachment, and the file keeps opening in the same window unless I start a new session.
Is there any explanation why it is working that way?
Thanks!

Then I pressed "Create a New report" Button. I've had the following message report:

What shall I do to fix this problem? The error details see below.

Looks like one of the system dataobjects wasn't properly loaded.
I believe you have some/most tables for the Active Data Cache (populated during install) because it appears you are able to start the Oracle BAM Active Data Cache service and get to the Start Page.
Here's the xml for the system dataobject that appears to be missing.
Note: I assume you have version 10.1.2.1, the latest version of BAM.
=========================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<OracleBAMExport Version="862.0" Build="3.4.5109.0">
<DataObject Version="14" Name="Custom Parameters" ID="_Custom_Parameters" Path="/System/Custom Parameters" External="0">
<Layout>
<Description><![CDATA[This data object contains user defined Custom Parameters that are available across all reports.]]></Description>
<Column Name="Name" ID="_Name" Type="string" MaxSize="64" Nullable="0" Public="1" TipText="The name of the Custom Parameter that appears in reports." />
<Column Name="Value" ID="_Value" Type="string" MaxSize="1000" Nullable="0" Public="1" TipText="The value of the Custom Parameter." />
<Column Name="Description" ID="_Description" Type="string" MaxSize="1000" Nullable="1" Public="1" TipText="Optional long description." />
<Indexes />
</Layout>
<Contents />
</DataObject>
</OracleBAMExport>
===========================
Paste this into notepad and save as customparameters.xml
Then import using DOS running this command:
icommand cmd=import file=filename.xmlThen try to recreate the report again.
Check that you have all system dataobjects in Architect:
System\Alerts\External Actions
System\Alerts\History
System\Custom Parameters\Custom Parameters
System\Views\Action Form Templates
System\Views\Chart Themes
System\Views\Matrix Themes
System\Views\Util Templates
Depending if you have installed and started the Oracle Plan Monitor service, you'll see this also:
System\Plan Monitor\Oracle BAM Plan Monitor\Journal
System\Plan Monitor\Oracle BAM Plan Monitor\Lock
System\Plan Monitor\Oracle BAM Plan Monitor\Plan Status
System\Plan Monitor\Oracle BAM Plan Monitor\Service Status
====================
IF you have any missing system dataobjects, I would suggest drop the Oracle user account used to install BAM so you would delete all it's tables. Then recreate the same user account with resource and connect privileges. Then run cacheinit.exe from your OracleBAM\BAM directory. This will recreate the entire ADC for you.
Sincerely,
Michelle

Report Generation: New Report.vi

Running applicaion in development mode works fine.
After compiling however I get Error 7: Open VI Reference in New Report.vi
Why am I getting this error?

Has the version of Office on your machine changed since you installed the Report Generation Toolkit? The VIs will become broken if the ActiveX interface changes, and this can happen when the Office version changes. I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the toolkit. Also, what version of Report Generation Toolkit are you using? The latest version is 1.1.1.
-D
P.S. - I'm going to respond to your other thread that you started with a link to this one. Instead of creating multiple messages on the same question, just wait for a response to your initial thread.

Error 7 occurred at open vi reference in New Report.VI

Hello!
I use the report generation toolkit on LabView 7.0 to create a report in Excel. The program works fine until I make an executable version. I the get the error:
Error 7 occurred at open vi reference in New Report.VI
I use the New Report.VI, Bring Excel to front.VI and Save Report To File.vi
Can you pleace help me!!!

Most likely, you did not include the required libraries in your build script. When building an executable in which you use the Report Generation Toolkit, you must include the _Word Dynamic VIs.vi from _wordsub.llb and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi from _exclsub.llb as dynamic VIs on the Source Files tab.
Check this article for more info.

ABAP: Developed new Report for Summarized JIT (Just In Time) calls

Hi to all,
Can anybody please tell me about the following:
· Developed new Report for Summarized JIT (Just In Time) calls: This report is for Delco Singapore needs all Summarized JIT calls created between selected dates to be closed. If JIT call quantity is 0 and GR quantity is also 0, then GR flag for JIT call to be checked and JIT call will not be shown open. If the JIT call quantity is greater than zero and GR for JIT call quantity is zero then JIT call quantity made as zero and GR flag for JIT Call to be checked. Once it is checked the JIT call will not be shown in Open.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, I was able to figure out the functions that were confusing me. For my own record and for those that do not know, I will list how to create the objects necessary to add a new report to a menu.
1-Write JSP (should be written just how Oracle writes theirs)
2-Creat function for the new JSP page as System Administrator responsibility
3-Use Sys Admin to add the function to a menu somewhere
4-Using AK Developer responsibility, create an attribute with the label of the attribute being the name of your function you created. Oracle's convention is the name of the attribute has FS in it.
5-Using AK Developer, lookup the ASF_FUNC_SEC_REG region
6-Drill down into that regions attributes
7-Add a your newly created attribute to this region
You would do all these steps for your advanced search page as well, so that in your main jsp, you can call asfPage.setAdvancedSearchPage() with the attribute name of your advanced page.
What I Still do not know is:
(1) My main page keeps coming up saying that there is no default query defined for it. How do you create a default query for a report?
(2) How to get the personalization to work.
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

LV 8 problem with New Report.vi in compiled program

I'm a novice LV programmer trying to finish my first project. The project is the automation of an air flow stand using field point for acquisition/control. Have the code written and everything seems to work fine until I compile. Specifically, I get an error when I attempt to open an Excel template (XLT) using the New Report.vi included in the report generation add on. When the compiled executable run I get a message with the header "Error 7 occured at Open VI reference in New Report vi>report2.vi>auto air flow testing.vi . And then in the body of the message is says:
Possible reason(s):
LabVIEW: File not found. The file might have been moved or deleted, or the file path might be incorrectly formatted for the operating system. For example, use \ as path separators on Windows, : on Mac OS, and / on Linux.
NI-488: Non-existent board.
VI Path: C:\builds\auto air flow\My Application\auto air flow 1a.exe\Excel_Open.vi
Built Application or Shared Library (DLL): Make sure all dynamically loaded VIs were properly included in the build specification for the application or shared libr
The input to the New Report.vi template connector is C:\Air Flow Data Files\templates\psc.xlt. Again this works in design so I believe the formatting is correct and the file does exist.
Why would this work in design environment but not the compiled program? I recompiled several times and even tried reinstalling the report generation tool kit. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. I will be happy to supply more info if necessary. thanks.

Okay, I found the solution by doing a search here on 'Error 7". My thanks to those who have posted the solution in the past. Regards

I am using report generation toolkit 1.1 with Labview 7.0 and Office 2003 professional. The create new report VI opens Excel but throws error (-2147167262- from automation open VI) when I try to open MS word. please help...

Hi Leo22,
Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

我愿自己是个胡萝卜，可以自己自足啦!

我明白您的意思，也可以按您所说的作，
但是open vi peference这个vi是labview提供的标准new report.vi的子vi中使用到的，如果我手动修改open vi peference中的提供的word路径，也就是说labview提供的模块也要自己修改了??

How to use "machine name" in new report vi?

I have a computer on a network that has Microsoft excel installed. On another computer I have an application that will take an excel file and stuff a bunch of data from a database into specific cells to generate a report. The vi works fine on my computer (where excel is loaded locally) but when I try and run the VI and access excel remotely I get an error message as follows:
Error -41106 occurred at NI_Excel.lvclass:new report subVI.vi -> NI_report.lvclass:New Report.vi -> printTestSheet.vi
Possible reason(s):
Report Generation Toolkit: Microsoft Word or Excel did not open. Make sure Microsoft Word or Excel is installed.
Error -41106 occurred at NI_Excel.lvclass:new report subVI.vi -> NI_report.lvclass:New Report.vi -> printTestSheet.vi
Possible reason(s):
Report Generation Toolkit: Microsoft Word or Excel did not open. Make sure Microsoft Word or Excel is installed.
I have included the ip address of the remote machine to the "machine name" input of the "New Report" vi.
Any suggestions/solutions?
Gerry Thompson

Hi Gerry,
One reason that you may get this error is if Distributed COM wasn't enabled on the remote machine. See this Microsoft KB for how to check or enable that functionality.
If that doesn't help; let me know, and I'll try to setup a similar test case on my end. The process isn't well documented, and I haven't seen any existing examples, so I'd like to see what it takes to get it running.
All the best,

Help! Error in New Report.vi

Why do I get an Error -2147312566 when I run New Report.vi? I have the Microsoft Report Generation Toolkit 1.0.1 installed and am running LabVIEW 6.1. I don' tthink that New Report.vi is the only problem I'm having. None of the SubVI's seem like they are able to be called when I run any of the example VI's that come with the Toolkit!

Hello,
Look at the following link. Hopefully this will help.

Why does New Report.vi not always minimize the document?

I’m using Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to generate documents based on bookmarks in a template document. It works very well and I’m pleased with it. However, it usually (not always) opens up the template document and displays it while inserting the data in the various bookmarks. The process really slows down when this happens. The document is to automatically print to the default printer when the print button is clicked without opening up.
I’m using the New Report.vi with Window State set to Minimized, Report Type to Word and the template document’s path and file name sent to Template. All other settings are default.
After the bookmarks are inserted I use the Print Report, Dispose Report and Simple Error Handler vi’s. There are no errors displayed.
OS: XP-Pro
LV: v.7.1
Report Generation Toolkit: v.1.0.1
Word: Office 2003 (Office 2003 was installed before installing the Report Generation Toolkit.)
Thanks,

Attached is a sample of the printing vi along with a subvi for support. Also attached is a sample template. This vi is a much simplified version of what I'm using. However, it also opens up the Word template. It opens and closes very quickly, but it should not open at all. In my final program, it really chokes up when the template opens.
I hope you can find something about it.
It's not clear to me what is meant by "WindowState input of no change."
Thanks,
Dave J.
