BI Publisher Report with Multiple data models

I have an Oracle Report with two different data model(querys) and Layouts for Summary and Details. When the user Choses Summary it execute the summary data model query and display the result in summary Repeating frame Layout and when user choses Details it execute the other query and uses the other layout.
Now I am creating the same report in Stand alone BI Publisher. As a company standard we are using Data Template for Data model. How can I accomplish the same feature I mentioned above in BI Publisher? Meaning How can I control and execute the querys in BIP based on a parameter "Summary" or "Details" ?
Can Someone help
George

option1:
The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
@runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
advantage , only one report.
option2:
create two separate reports summary and details
and create diff data and diff layout and keep it as different report
Advantage, query will perform based on the user run report, summary/detail, so that you can write efficient query.
Dis advantage , two reports query/template to be maintained.

11i EBS XML Publisher Report with Multiple Data Source

I need to create XML Publisher report in 11i EBS pulling data from another 10.7 EBS Instance as well as 11i EBS in single report.
I am not allowed to create extract or use db links.
My problem is how to create Data Source Connection using Java Concurrent Program.
The approach I am trying is
1. create Java concurrent program to establish connection to 10.7 instance.
2. Will write the SQL queries in Data Tempalete with 2 Data Source 1 for 11i EBS and 2 for 10.7 EBS
3. Template will show the data from both query in 1 report..
Is there any other way to proceed using datasource API...
thanks

BI+ Reporting With Multiple Data Sources

Hi -
We've been using BI+ Reports with multiple data sources on separate grids. We are wondering if there is a better way to ensure the user has their point of view bar in sync between the the data sources. In our case, both Data Sources are separate HFM applications with all the dimensions identical except the account which is defined on the report. We are not using Metadata Management.
I'm aware of the "Merge Equivalent Prompts" in the Preferences > Financial Reporting window, but this does not always ensure the users have the same point of view.
What practice are other companies using to make sure the user runs the reports accurately with both point of view bars pulling the same entity/year/period.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer, however my question - I know it looks quite messy - is not directly related to data templates, my problem is that at the moment I am using a stored procedure following - almost exactly - what another procedure does in oracle EBS to call a BI publisher report.
1. This procedure populates some temporary table with the xml data where the concurrent request picks it up and uses it to populate the BI publisher template.
2. However I can't go and specify the XML location in my data template as this is not an option for us (i.e. reading the xml from the temporary table), so I am looking for another way to populate the BI publisher template (Note: I can't as well include the SQL queries in my Data template).
Thanks ;)

Publication for Deski report with multiple data providers

Hi,
Has anyone been able to get a publication working that uses a Deski report with multiple data providers as the source? I'm trying to get a publication working that uses dynamic recipients and personalization. When I try to schedule the publication, I get the error "Object not found".
Thanks,
Debbie

Debbie,
That's standard.
It's useful for emulating outer joins in reports.
Say you've got a sales report where you want to display all 12 months of the year in a crosstab whatever month you run in.
We're only in May at the moment though. With one data provider (SALES), you'll get a crosstab with just up to May for your months.
If you create a separate data provider called MONTHS to return the months in the current year, you will then have a merged dimension of YearMonth in both.
In your crosstab if you just use YearMonth you'll get just the five months. If you qualify it with its data provider name (in our case MONTHS), you'll see the full twelve months shown.
I hope that clears it up for your.
Regards,
Mark

Creating a report having Multiple Data Models...

Using BI publisher for Word 10.1.3.4
I am attempting to create a template in MS Word with the report settings I have created in BI Publisher.
I've created two data models, both referencing different tables that I will need on the report itself. The issue I have having is whenever I use the table wizard, the rowset is grayed out and only the default data model (sql query) can be used.
I looked around and was unable to find a solution to this.

I have done this and it worked.
However I created an additional data model (I need 3 total) and only 2 of them are showing up.
I tried logging in and out of BI Publisher, setting the main data model to the new one and then back to the concatenated data source and nothing seems to work.
Whenever I got back into BI Publisher, I attempted to run the table wizard and got the following error:
"The table wizard can't handle this data xml."
Please advise.

Creating BI Publisher report with raw data XML

Hi Guys,
Can anyone please point me to a link or tutorial where we can do reporting using raw data XML as a datasource and defining the Parameters for filters.
Thanks,
Aash

Thanks for your reply.
I'm just add a new data set from BI Analysis, I select the Analysis and press OK, pop-up closed and in the data set I see the box with the message... nothing else.
If I try to use a simple Analysis, the new data set works.

Report with Multiple queries too slow in BI Publisher 11g

Hi, I have a report in 11g where i need to create multiple queries to show them in report. I tried to combine everything in one query, but i found that the query is too huge and hard to understand and maintain. I created 3 data sets and linked them together. In SQL dev, the main query is returning about 315 records and first detail query returns less than 100 records and second detail query is returning one record which is BLOB. Each query returns data within a couple of seconds from SQL Developer. The entire report from BI Publisher should be just 21 page PDF output. Did anyone face performance issues while running reports with multiple queries in 11g? I ran reports that have single query which returned 10K pages PDF and never had an issue while everthing is in one query. This is the first time Iam attempting to create multiple queries. Can someone help me understand what i might be doing wrong or missing here. Thank you.

Isn't there a way for you to do this via a Package/Procedure versus having multiple queries?
Per the BI Publisher guide,
Following are recommended guidelines for building data models:
Reduce the number of data sets or queries in your data model as much as possible. In general, the fewer data sets and queries you have, the faster your data model will run. While multiquery data models are often easier to understand, single-query data models tend to execute more quickly. It is important to understand that in parent-child queries, for every parent, the child query is executed.
You should only use multiquery data models in the following scenarios:
To perform functions that the query type, such as a SQL query, does not support directly.
To support complex views (for example, distributed queries or GROUP BY queries).
To simulate a view when you do not have or want to use a view.
Thanks,

Bursting a report with multiple queries

Hi,
I need to set-up bursting in BIP for a report with multiple queries. The output format is pdf and delivery is through e-mail. Since the queries need to be linked, I'm trying to do this using data template. I've set-up split and burst based on a field (store_id) from the first query which is used as a bind variable in the subsequent queries. So I'd ideally want the report to be split based on store_id. The report works fine if I use a parameter for store_id and view the output by store_id. When I try to schedule the report for bursting, it generates and e-mails the reports but only the last report appears to have correct data output while the others have only the output from the first query (and all other queries appear to return nothing in the report).
Any suggestions on what could be the issue here? Thanks!
Here is the data template for the report:

Hello user6428199,
When you use ":Q1_STORE_ID" in your queries, BI Publisher looks for a report parameter named Q1_STORE_ID. Change all your report queries to get data for all the store_id's available. As you are bursting the report using the store_id as the bursting key, BI Publisher will split the report based on the stored_id and delivers content based on it. No matter how many queries you may have, BI Publisher will loop through all the store_id's available and all the queries will return data for that particular id in a report.
Thanks,
Machaan

ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - query - If statement in Alias ?

I have the following select statement. It has the alias Survivors, Deaths and "All
With the ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - I have the following query statement. I require the alias to change. Can the following be done.
Cases". Is it posible to use :P_LANGUAGE variable to say that -- IF :P_LANGUAGE = FRENCH THEN alias are Survivants for survivors, Décès for Deaths, Tous_les_cas for All Cases. Please advise
SELECT ALL T_NTR_MULTIBAR.CAT, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_LEFTBAR AS Survivors,
T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_MIDDLEBAR AS Deaths, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_RIGHTBAR AS "All Cases"
FROM T_NTR_MULTIBAR
WHERE INSTANCE_NUM = :P_INSTANCENUM
order by ORDERS

It is no problem, you can automatically change the complete query before the report is running, which delivers you different kind of values. But the alias names does not change in the group of the data-model, although two query are running with different alias names at different times. In the data model you see the alias names of the first implemented select statement, which are the column fields in the layout.

Report with multiple Detail Area

Hi All,
Please see the Report pointed to the link below:
[Report with multiple Detail Area|http://us.share.geocities.com/felix5ac/fairway.jpg]
Some Explanations:
========================
(1) The line with "ABCDEFGH..." is variable data coming from the database in the Detail Area
(2) The lines with "WBLNX'" "123, 123.12",
"WBLNX'"
are variable data associated with the same Heading: "ABCDEFGH..."
(2b) There can be multiple lines of data in the detail area (i.e. 1 or more "ABCDEFGH..." and the associated WBLNX and numbers...)
(3) Item Code Descriptions ==> is a Header Info
(4) ARL ... and FPHI... ==> are variable data and lines in these area can be 1 line; it can be 4 lines; it can be 10 lines...
(5) Lines FROM "Artwork Procedures..." to the the end of the page are static.
QUESTION:
===================
How do I best design these Report with the multiple detail areas? Again, please see link of the Report above...
Thanks and Best regards,
Felix

Hi Felix
You can place the less detailed fields in the regular sections of the report and wherever you require multiple lines you can use the subreports.
Hope this helps.

How to tune performance of a cube with multiple date dimension?

Hi,
I have a cube where I have a measure. Now for a turn time report I am taking the date difference of two dates and taking the average, max and min of the date difference. The graph is taking long time to load. I am using Telerik report controls.
Is there any way to tune up the cube performance with multiple date dimension to it? What are the key rules and beset practices for a cube to perform well?
Thanks,
Amit

Hi amit2015,
According to your description, you want to improve the performance of a SSAS cube with multiple date dimension. Right?
In Analysis Services, there are many tips to improve the performance of a cube. In this scenario, I suggest you only keep one dimension, and only include the column which are required for your calculation. Please refer to "dimension design" in
the link below:

Report with multiple tabs

Hi,
I have a report with multiple tabs in selection screen. Say material number is mandatory in the first tab. But we don't need material number in the second tab. But if I want to go to the 2nd tab, i get the error message 'Please enter the material number'. Can this be avoided?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Paromita,
If I understand your problem correctly then, here is the summary of your problem -
a) There are multiple tabs on selection screen. Out of which the first tab has a mandatory field i.e., Material Number. And then there are other tabs.
b) So, unless and until you provide the value in first tab for the material number(which is a mandatory field), you cannot navigate to the second tab or any other tab for that matter.
So, ideally the second and rest of other tabs are mutually dependent on the first tab's information as it has a mandatory field. Unless and until you make the first tab inactive it will not let you enter data in the second tab and so on.
So, to ideally enable input in second tab, make the first tab inactive. Try this and let me know if it works.
BR,
Ravi

Adhoc Query Requirement with Multiple Data Source

Hi All,
I have a Adhoc Query Requirement with Multiple Data Source. Is there any way to achive it. Other than Resultant set and bring into Model.
Thanks
SS

You can compare stuff in the EL, but I don't think this is what you need.
You can just use Java code in the backing bean class for all the business logic. You can use DAO classes for database access logic. Finally for displaying you can use the JSF tags such as h:outputText.

Using Fields in Reports with stored Data

Hello,
i like to use fields in Reports with saved Data in it.
Is this possible ?
Example:
A Invoicereport with saved Data in a File. Now i like to get the Field Invoice_ID to use this in VB.net.
Any Idea ?
VS2008 with CR_reports in 8.5
Thanx

You wrote:
Example:

You can export a report with saved data and then change the filtering without hitting the DB again. If you are asking if using a flat file as the data source there are multiple ways to do this. Define an ODBC data source to the file and specify the sturcture, or using ADO.NET and a record set, or using XML as the data source. Lots of ways in newer versions of CR. 8.5 was limited so the ODBC example is your best option.
Or if you are asking how to get the data from the report you can use REadRecords. Not sure if 8.5 has this functionality though. It's way past it's end of life so I can't look.
You wrote:

Not supported, 8.5 has no .net assemblies and no RDC, only option would be to use RAS to make changes or reading records so you need to upgrade.

Report on multiple data objects

I am not sure, I did this or not.. Is there a way to create a report on multiple data objects? My requirement is as follows
Data_object_A
Field1 Field2 Field3
1 ABC 123
2 DEF 456
3 GHI 789
Data_object_B
Field1 Field2 Field3
1 444 XYZ
2 555 STU
Over here I have a primary key and reference key as first column in the both data objects and I have to create a report by using equi-join..
that means I have to create a report with data from these above two data objects as below
