BI Publisher Java Report Refresh

Hi,
I am new to this forum and i don't know if this is the correct place to post my query. Please redirect me if I am in the wrong forum.
I am relatively new to BI Publisher and xmlpserver, and I need to develop a Java software to refresh a lot of reports and export them in PDF and Excel formats. If this is possible then please redirect me to the correct resource(s) or tutorials.
Thank you for reading this...

This is the OBIEE forum so it's best for OBIEE/BIP related questions. If it is a purely BIP question then the BIP forum is probably a better place for it as there are more BIP experts there than here...

Is it possible to use the JAVA Report Engine SDK to modify DESKI reports?

Post Author: Nadine
CA Forum: JAVA
Hi, is it possible to add a complex filter to a DESKI report using the JAVA report engine sdk?
In the developer tutorials for this API, I've only found references to WEBI in terms of modifying reports, though it seems to be possible to view DESKI reports with this sdk.
I am a bit confused in terms of the scope of this API and how I would use it in regard to DESKI.
Many thanks for any suggestions!
Nadine

CA Forum: JAVA
Current (XI R2) version of ReportEngine API only supports refreshing/viewing functionality for Desktop Intelligence documents. Document modification/creation is only supported with Web Intelligence documents. Queries aren't modifiable for Deski using ReportEngine API - you can only do so using Desktop Intelligence Reporter SDK, which is COM based.Sincerely,Ted Ueda

I Published a report on the report server but it's not showing in the internal application we use to access reports

Hi,
I Published a report on the report server but it's not showing in the internal application we use to access reports. The name of the application we use is called MAMA and this application has access to all the reports on the SQL report server. My email is
[email protected] my cell phone number is 201-888-7952.
Thanks.

Hi Roger,
Based on my understanding, you publish a report on the report server. When you access reports with internal application, the report doesn’t display, right?
In your scenario, since you mentioned you have published the report to report server, please go to report manager, check if you can see the published report and open the report properly. If the published report is displayed on report manager, it should not
be the issue in Reporting Services. In this scenario, since the MAMA application has established connection with on report server, it may not update items on report server after you publish your report onto report server. So please try to “refresh” in MAMA
or reconnect the report server. If issue persists, I suggest you contact the MAMA application vendor to get some more effective advices.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Qiuyun Yu

Crystal report refresh based on document ID

Hi All,
i am able to do webi report refresf based on document id but i am not able to find crystal report refresh based on document ID BO SDK API on JAVA.
please help me on this?
the below code is for webi report refresh :
ReportEngines engines = (ReportEngines) Esession.getService("ReportEngines");
ReportEngine widocRepEngine = (ReportEngine) engines.getService(ReportEngines.ReportEngineType.WI_REPORT_ENGINE);
widocRepEngine.setLocale("en_US");
DocumentInstance doc = widocRepEngine.openDocument(documentId);
doc.refresh();

Well, first, the ReportEngine code you are using is only for Webi and Deski. You may want to start by looking at the RAS and Enterprise sections of the this [wiki|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/BusinessObjectsSDKSampleApplications]

Report Refresh Issue coming in 3.1

Hi,
We had BO migration to 3.1 recently from 2.0 and started facing one issue
I am trying to pass parameter 2 date parameter through Hyperlink called through a BO Java SDK but does not want the report to get refreshed but want the prompt screen to show up having these 2 dates to come up.
The below hyperlink was working fine in 2.0 and the prompt screen was coming up fine and we can modify the report dates
to choose another date
/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=234436&sType=wid&sWindow=Same&token=(server address)&sRefresh=Y&lsSStartDate:=01/01/2006 12:00:00 AM&lsSEndDate:=09/29/2010 10:00:00 PM
But when for this hyperlink now in 3.1, the report gets refreshed and prompt window does not come.
I tried to give refresh=N, but still the report refreshs without displaying the prompt screen
Is there some settings changes in the new BO SDK which needs to be done to stop the report to refresh even when we pass the parameters?
Thanks,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Which SP is? In 3.1 SP3 sWindow parameter is obsolete, I´m not sure it is your problem, but maybe you can try without sWindow.
Another question:
Do you have any default value in the prompts?
Is it a webi prompt or a universe prompt?
Here you have the OpenDocument reference for 3.1 SP3: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31SP3/en/xi31_sp3_opendocument_en.pdf
Hope that helps.

SAP BI Mobile Publishing Webi report issue

Hi All,
We want to use the BI Mobile App on IPad for Webi reports. The app is successfully implemented on the IPad, connection to BO server is done, categories are visible. But no report.
In Webi I tried to publish my report to the respective 'mobile' category, but the the 'Publish to' is missing in the menu.
Save as is possible, but it has no effect.
I checked the CMC and I have full authorisation for publishing (and anything else).
What could be the reason that the 'Publish to' menu is not visible? Is this the reason why I do not see my Webi report in the Bi Mobile app?
I would appreciate any kind of help.
Danya

HI Danya,
You have already done the configuration it seems.
Mobile Category has been created.
Can you go to your report, right click, categories
add it to Mobile categories
check on your ipad
Also, which version of BI and SAP BI app for mobile are you using?
Cn you elaborate on the publish to menu, with a screenshot may be

AJAX Report Refresh a_report- Condition for display not being validated

Hi ,
I have a report which has the following condition for dispaly:
Exists(SQL query returs atleast one row) - SELECT * from temp1The query for the report is : select * from temp1 Now I have a button on the page and on click of the button I call the below Javascript :
function f_insert_Temp_table(pTrans){
      var l_Return = null;
      var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,
              'APPLICATION_PROCESS=temp_table_insert',206);       // ODP to insert into temp1
      get.add('TRANS_ID_ITEM',pTrans);
      gReturn = get.get('');
     //alert(gReturn);
     //$x_Show('6342610690289435');
     $a_report('6342610690289435','1','15','15');
}Everything executes fine and the report refreshes the rows but the condition used for display doesn't get checked when I call $a_report() ...
I can see the ODP execute successfully and row gets inserted into temp1 which means report condition is satisfied .
If I remove the condition for the report, I can see the report getting refreshed and showing new rows through the $a_Report() call.
Is there something that needs to be added to the script or $a_report call to validate the condition too ?Is there a way I can validate the region condition too ?
Appreciate any suggestions/pointers here. I really do not want to refresh the whole page.
Thanks,
Dippy
Edited by: Dippy on Feb 5, 2010 11:05 AM

Hi Flavio,
Thanks for your support.I figured where I was going completely wrong.
Its just that when the page loads for the first time the temp table is empty and hence the report is not being displayed which simply
means that the report id Im passing into the a_report function is not rendered on the page. Hence no matter what the temp table contains the report id is absent from the page.
I fixed it as follows :
Remove the condition for the report.
Added and item and computed(P_Compute) its value using select count(*) from temp.
Added an onload JS function which does a $x_Show('Report_Region') if P_Compute > 0 or $x_Hide('Report_Region') if P_Compute <0 .
Now in my JS function which has an AJAX call to an ODP does an $x_Show('Report_Region').
Flavioc : the query for my report is simple
select * from tempIt finally dawned upon me that I'm trying to catch hold of an ID that's not rendered.
So one issue is solved now the other part would be figuring out how to make $a_report work with pagination etc .

Red Blue issue with published DeskI Report in InfoView

Hi everyone,
i'm expieriencing a strange behaviour with my published DeskI Reports.
I'm using logos in my report and they work just fine... in my full client. As soon as I publish them to InfoView and open them up in the browser, then somehow the color red and blue interchange. Red becomes blue and vice versa...
My System consists of:
BOE R 3.1 SP2
Win Server 2008
DeskI and WebI
Has anyone expirienced the same issues?
Thanks and kr,
Nils

Hi Stratos,
so far everything is just fine. Hope you are doing great too.
my IE version is: 7.0.5730.13
Tomcat version: 5.5.20
If I click on the logos in InfoView, nothing happens.
I tested 3 different ways to implement them:
1) via link; pictures shows up, but again with the red blue issue
2) as an object; pictures shows up; also w/ the red blue issue
3) inserted a cell, and pasted the picture in it, pictures shows up; also w/ the red blue issue
The strange thing is, that this issue only appears in the browser.
Thanks,
Nils

How to publish crystal report designed using SAP Add-on toolbar

we have installed the crystal report designer V10 and the SAP add-on on the desktop.
we have designed a formatted report in crystal report designer using an existing BW report that was created using Bex query designer. After this we saved the crystal report back in BW to a role.
We have not published the report to crystal enterprise server, since the connection to same is not in place.
We would like to know how to publish this report in Enterprise portal ?
Can we bypass publishing the report to crystal enterprise server and publish the report on browser or through EP ?

In /crystal/rptadmin I am getting this error when publishing crystal reports
<report name> [<technical name>]

Has anyone experienced the same error before?

Hello Donna,
in this case I recommend to post to the [dedicated SAP Integration Kit|BusinessObjects Integration Kits; forum.
That forum is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all SAP queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
