BI reporting tool free or open source for adhoc reporting
Hi All, there is adhoc reporting option in jaspersoft server but it costs.
I want to know what is the cost of jasperserver and pentaho reporting tool for a single user and contact details to purchase it.
preferrably pentaho reporting software.
www.gentleware.com
Follow the bouncing link. The tool is called
Poseidon. The community edition is a free download,
the Professional version is not terribly expensive.
Cheers,
PSPoseidon is based on ArgoUML, which BSD licensed.
I'm currently using ArgoUML and I like, although it has
a lot of bugs that drive me nuts.

CRM 7.0 - Enhancement of Data Sources for interactive Reporting
Hallo All,
I would like to know whether anybody has positive experience with the enhancement of CRM Data Sources for interactive Reporting. I read that the enhancement of Customer fields should be possible (Those Data Sources below the Hierarchy node /CRMBW/ROOT).
I have seen that the extract structure can be enhanced via RSA6 (as for other data sources).
Questions:
1. Which USEREXIT / BADI has to be used to fill the added fields?
2. Does it work?
Best regardsHi!
Those DS are not meant to be enhanced manually but only by one of the following two ways:
1. Adding custom fields with the Application Enhancement Tool (AET) in the CRM UI.
2. Adding SAP fields with the Interactive Reporting Enhancement Workbench (IREW).
The AET is available since CRM 7.0. Please find more details in the SAP Help Portal:

I am afraid slow performance is a built in feature of this database design, not much you can do in queries.
You could possibly create the views as materialized views and query those instead.
Quote from the linked article
But, how does it perform? Miserably, terribly, horribly. A simple "select
first_name, last_name from person" query is transformed into a 3-table join with
aggregates and all. Further, if the attributes are "NULLABLE" - that is, there
might not be a row in OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES for some attributes, you may have to
outer join instead of just joining which in some cases can remove more optimal
query plans from consideration.
Writing queries might look pretty straightforward, but it's impossible to do in
a performant fashion. -
Best Data source for Crystal Reports
Hi Experts,
We have decided to use Crystal Reports 2008, for our project & advised to use BO Universe(based on Dimensional model) as data source against using the Dimensional tables directly(in Oracle).
Since the Universes are based on Dimensional model, typically I have to link two or three Universes for each report. I am concerned about the query performance time involved for the Universe approach vs. using the Dimensional tables directly.
I understand Universe as Meta-Data layer that hides all the database complexity from the end-user, and is a favorable option for Adhoc reports created by end users.
But for developers who are going to create 400 odd reports, I don't see any advantage that Universe brings, compared to linking the tables at Crystal Designer.
And we do not want to write customized Stored Procedures for every report, so our options are Universe/ Oracle tables.
Appreciate any help from you on helping my process.
Thanks.IMHO, the Universe is fantastic for sophisticated end users (who have a general knowledge of logic or a logical mind) to build ad hoc reports. (Less sophisticated users should not be given the ability to design reports.) It should not be used for production reports that will run frequently, as performance can deteriorate quickly. (This is particularly true if you design the universe with the intent to build multiple reports off of one logical view. You tend to do a lot of extra work to gather data that is not needed for the task at hand. Our universe was designed this way - before I got here... I tend not to use it on new reports...)
There is no question in my mind that direct SQL will be the most performant way to develop the reports. In fact, I'd even suggest using SQL Commands as the basis for the reports so the database does all of the heavy lifting of table linking, record selection, sorting, and summarizing. That's what databases are built to do! (I know Crystal is supposed to push what it can to the database, but its definition of what the database can do is very generalized, so a lot ends up on the Crystal server.) This is particularly true if the Crystal server is not the same box as the database server; you don't want to pump huge volumes of data over the network! The downside to this is that some logic tends to get duplicated. This can be minimized by creating additional data (fields, tables, or aggregate tables) in the database, which are populated by one program (where the logic resides) and used by all of the reports. (For example, "definitions" based on data values should be table driven.)

Report painter -output parameters,Data source,Extract parameter, report
Hi expert,
1)What report painter -output parameters,Data source,Extract parameter, report mean for and what are the difference?
2)I have create new report painter and transport to Test server using T-code:GCTR and I find that the T-code always point to old report. As I had check the SE93 the D_SREPOVARI-REPORT is point to report group.Why this happen?
3) Does creation of new report or modification of the report always need to select the extraction option so that it will able to display the relected changes? Because, I have done modification on the report but it is not reflected the changes even i save until i have to create the extraction is able to display the report but every time i run the report need to select the extraction with option to choose new extract or old. Kindly advice how to save and create the report painter and save will display reflected result .
Please helpHi BR Christian,
Thank you for the prompt reply.
I have few querys as below:
1)Do we every time create new report by copying the existing report painter need to select output parameter, data source and extract parameter in order to be able to display the new report?
2)when modify existing report painter and save it do we need to select output parameter, data source and extract parameter in order to be able to display the modify report correctly?
3) What are the different between right click copy the report inreport painter compare with create report painter with copy GRR1?
4) What are the T-code for modify the report group?
5) When I create a new report with the right click copy in GRR1 and modify the report painter column only and everything remain the same just the report name different why when execute the report it always appear in the selection screen with report button which have option button to select the 2 version of report which one is the destination report that I copy from and one is the new report? How to set the report when execute will only display the new report only without need to select the option with just new report only?
6)For transferring reports you can use GR37 (export) and GR38 (import) can be use to transport from one client to another client? What is difference between GR37 compare with GCTR?
7) If I use GR37 and GR38 it is mean no need to create the transport request which as usual we create transport se10?
we can directly import to another client ussing GR38?
8)When we create a new report with copy with the existing report with just modify the report colunm and the report name difference only what are the setting example: report,report group need to be selected to be include to export/transport to another client?
9) What are the difference between library and report group?
10) Can we set Se93 to execute only report not report group? How?
11) when using GR37 to transport it is also include the report group,library and the particular report?
12) Can I include the variable in the column header to display fiscal year which I have selected from the selection screen?
How and which variable should i use?
please help.
many thanks

Switching Data Source for a report with stored procedure
Post Author: ysbn
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
I've created a report and deployed it on a Crystal Server. The report is based on a certain stored procedure which also exists on other DB machines in my environment (Oracle machines). When I try to switch my report object to work with other machines (not the one originally used when the report was designed) the activation of the report fails. The error I see in the preview window is:
Error in File <my rpt file name>: Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 6550 ]
When I try the same thing with a report which is based on a view and not a stored procedure the switching of Data Source works perfectly.
Is there a problem switching between data sources from the server when the report is based on stored procedure? Are there any configurations I need to do in order to support this scenario?
Thanks!Hi everyone~
i am now facing the same problem
i am using CR2008 and Visual Studio 2008 c# to write a window program
because we have 2 db environment (one is production , the other one is development) so i have set a prarameter to switch db connection in c# code.
the database is Oracle, and the the report will connect to Oracle procedure (which it is stored in package) this procedure will return reference cursor, so the report will loop up this cursor to generate report.
at first time, it work fine when i open the report in CR2008 designer and point to dev database (ie datasource point to oracle procedure) . but when i want to deploy this win application to client and point to prod database, it show (vendor error 6550)
i found that i cannot change the datasource during runtime in c# code...
am i miss something in code? here attached a part of this code...
private void setDBLogonForReport(ConnectionInfo info, ReportDocument doc)
Tables myTables = doc.Database.Tables;
foreach (Table myTable in myTables)
TableLogOnInfo logOnInfo = myTable.LogOnInfo;
logOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = info;
logOnInfo.TableName = myTable.Name;
myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(logOnInfo);
//myTable.Location = info.UserID + "." + "pkg_crystal_report." + myTable.Name;
//someone suggest i have to set the 'Location' for change the datasource, but i am not sure how to construct a
//string for point to oracle prcedure
i will check it freq ... hope any expert can give me some advice ~
thank you very much!!! -
What are the valid 'sources' for Fin Reports 11.1.2?
Hi,
Have a client that wants to report using Fin Reports 11.1.2. He wants to connect to a Oracle Schema or SQL Server data warehouse and then connect to Essbase/Planning cube and also to the Planning relational tables to report on supporting detail etc. I don't think FR can connect to a relational source other than HFM and/or Planning Detail. Is that correct? Or can it connect to any Oracle/SQL server database and report off that too. I thought Interactive Reporting (Brio) is the tool for that.
Please advise.Hi,
Here is the whole list: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/bpmui_user/database_manager_fr.html

LiveView: Make it 'open source' for the benefit of all
First, let me start by saying LiveView is a great concept. However...
SonyEricsson needs more than just a great concept to make this a useful and successful product.
At present, it is horrendous and they should be embarrassed with releasing this device to the market in its current state.
The hardware is average but the software/firmware is absolutely awful, leading to an extremely unreliable / barely useful device.
My experiences since receiving my LiveView have not been dissimilar to the rest of the users who have seen frequent disconnections / lockups / non-working features.
It is clear that there is interest in this device from the Android Community / Xda-Developers, etc. with many members keen to resolve LiveView's issues themselves - yet they are limited by a closed platform. Given Engadget's review of the LiveView, SonyEricsson's poor track record of providing continued support / updates to their products and their statement that there will be no updates issued for the device - I would think it not inappropriate to demand that an update at least be made to make the software entirely open source, or firmware/code released with a vehicle/drivers for updating.
I'm sure if the community were given the freedom, they could make the software reliable, customisable and perhaps even define innovative new ways to use the hardware.
If that happens, there's increased interest in the community which in turn would lead to more sales.
SonyEricsson, why not leverage the benefit of a willing (and free) workforce that are more interested in improving your device than you are?
(TLDR) In short, SE's failure to provide a fully functioning reliable product combined with their lack of commitment to continued support has paved the way for a global community of very tech savvy individuals and groups, willing to devote their time freely to improving LiveView. I say to SonyEricsson, let them - everyone wins.
To other customers, would you support making LiveView open source?
If so - let SonyEricsson know here and by submitting an e-Mail via their Support site (for UK, where SE's global management team is based):http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/common/contact/contactusemail/accessories?cc=gb&lc=enOnce there is a successor model, I would welcome it very much if the source code is released, and the owner of the MN800 can finally use their device.

Crystal Reports Server 2011 and BW 7 as a data source for uploaded reports.
Hello,
I am hoping someone can provide me with a clear answer for this.
Lets assume..
1. We are running crystal reports server 2011 and BW 7
2. We want to publish a report in the BI Launch pad so users can view it
3. Can we create a crystal report in the report designer with the data source as BW 7 then upload it to the reports server and have it run on-demand and Run over night?
Can anyone shed some light in this area?
kind regards
davidHi,
Crystal Reports Server is not supporting the SAP Integration Kit. You will need BusinessObjects Edge or BusinessObjects Enterprise

Universe as data source for Crystal Reports
Are there any issues in using a Universe as the data source for a crystal reports? We are using Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 and Crystal Reports XI R2.
Thanks in advance for your response,
Garet WickerHi,
We can have a parameter from a Universe, following are the steps which will create the report which is based a Universe with a parameter.
-connect to the universe and you will a Query Panel.
-drag some objects in the Result Objects field. Ex. Country, Revenue.
-then drag an object in the Query Filter. Ex. Country.
-then a new window will appear as Filter Editor.
-Select the prompt option and also select the check box as u201CSelect only from listu201D.
-Click on Ok.
When you refresh the report then there will be a parameter prompting for the Country field. Also you will see a parameter created automatically in the parameter list.
However if you try to create a new parameter (without modifying anything from the query panel) by with the following workflow then there is no option to select the field for the parameter.
-Right click on Parameter fieldsu2014New parameter.
-When you click on the drop down list in the u201CValue Fieldu201D list there are no available fields/objects.
Hence we can create a parameter in CR which is connected to the Universe with the steps mentioned above.
I hope this helps you.

Prashant. -
