BIP report Output has issue due to & in the data

Hi All,
we have created a BIP report in R12.some columns have '&' in the value. Because of this ,the concurrent program is ending with warning.
Please give me some ideas to rectify this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
P.Kalidoss

one way is to replace '&' to '%amp;' in data
another way is to escape data by utl_i18n (prefer for me)
so
SQL> with t as
2   (select 'some &text' some_text from dual)
3 select replace(some_text, '&', '&'),
4         utl_i18n.escape_reference(some_text)
5    from t
6 /
REPLACE(SOME_TEXT,'&','&AMP;') UTL_I18N.ESCAPE_REFERENCE(SOME
some &text                 some &text
SQL>

Not able to get correct BIP report output in case of more than 6000 records

Hi,
When we are trying to generate the BIP report in siebel 8.1.1, for the list of records whose count exceeds 6000 records, we are gettin a error as
"Error <?> invoking method "<?>" for Business Service "<?>"(SBL-OMS-00203)
W have done all the optimizations recommended by siebel like
1)BIP Report Wait Time = 250
2)Database Polling Interval=1
3)Maximum Tasks parameter=100
4)Maximum MT Servers parameter=2
5)DSMaxFetchArraySize=-1
6)Scalable mode in XDo cfg=True
Than also we are getting the above error.
Do any body have any solution or how we can optimize the report because the same report is working with less than 6000 records and giving details of all the records correctly but if records are increased beyond that than we are getting error as specified above.
Thanks

The code below looks correct. Is that the expected behavior of your app?

MDW Disk Usage for Database Report Error - A data source has not been supplied for the data source DS_TraceEvents

Hello,
On the MDW Disk Usage Collection Set report, I get the following error when I click on a database hyperlink.
A data source has not been supplied for the data source DS_TraceEvents
SQL profiler shows the following SQL statements are executed (I've replaced the database name with databaseX)
1. exec sp_executesql N'SELECT
dtb.name AS [Name]
FROM
master.sys.databases AS dtb
WHERE
(dtb.name=@_msparam_0)',N'@_msparam_0 nvarchar(4000)',@_msparam_0=N'databaseX'
this returns zero rows as databaseX does not exist on my MDW central server, but is a database on a target server (i.e. one that is being monitored and uploaded into the MDW central server).
2. USE [datatbaseX]
this produces the following error:
Msg 911, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Database 'databaseX' does not exist. Make sure that the name is entered correctly.
why is the report looking for the database on my server?
thanks
Jag
Environment: MDW (Management Data Warehouse) on SQL 2008 R2

Hi Jag,
Based on my test, while this database is offline, we will encounter this issue. This is because that while we click the certain database in “Disk Usage Collection
Set” report, it will query some information with that certain database. If this database is offline, we will not access this database to acquire related information and generates this error.
Therefore I recommend that you check the status of this database by using this system view:
sys.databases. If it is not online, please execute
the following statements in a new window to make this database to be online:
USE master
GO
ALTER DATABASE <database name> SET ONLINE
GO
If anything is unclear, please let me know.

Is it possible to have 2 different output config XML files and index the data into 2 endeca apps using the same indexing component ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin

Hi ,
We have a catalog that defines 2 types of products (they have too many different properties), so wanted to keep them on two different MDEX engines and serve the applications requests. Here DB catalog and front end ATG application is same for both the MDEX instances.
Is it possible to have 2 different output config XML files and index the data into 2 endeca apps using the same indexing component ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin?
Thanks
Dev

Hi, also have had some problem some monthes ago - I created separete component ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdminSecond. After that one of my colleage gave me some advice:
The creating separate component like ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin for the second IOC is possible way for resolving your situation. But I afraid that this way will be required creating mane duplicates for already existed components.
In my opinion the better way is the following:
starting from AssemblerApplicationConfiguration and ApplicationConfiguration component. It contains details for connecting between ATG and Endeca. Of course you should configure different components for different Endeca Apps.
After that:
Find all components that uses AssemblerApplicationConfiguration and ApplicationConfiguration. Customize these components for using one or another *Configuration component depending on what index works. (many variants released it: the most simple global custom component with flag.)
Then customize the existed ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin. Using one or another IOC and setting the flag in global custom component when index started. You can add some methods into your custom ProductCatalogSimpleIndexingAdmin like:
Execute baseline index for both IOC (one by one)
Execute baseline for IOC 1
Execute baseline for IOC 2.
Note: you should be afraid about incremental (partial) index in this configuration. But resolving conflicts in incremental index should be done after full implementation these changes.

BIP report output in PDF and RTF generating some blank columns or � symbols

Hi Experts,
I am new to BIP. I have developed some BIP reports in 10.1.3.4.1 version which are working fine in Dev and UAT environment.
But it's generating some blank columns and some columns with proper data and some columns with"cellphone" kind of symbol in PDF and " �"
symbols in RTF in Prod environment.
In all the environments the version of BIP is same.
So any help in resolving this issue is appreciated.
Thanks in advance..

All of the complex report logic is handled in your Oracle Report (rdf) file.
If your Oracle report is working OK, then this report should be generating XML.
After running your report, go to the View Requests window. Highlight your request, and click the Diagnostics button. Then click the 'View XML' button. If you see XML data, then you should be OK.
When I faced a similar issue, it was because the '1 step' process didnt work for the particular report I was using. The '1 step' process doesn't work for every report. Which report are you using?
If the report is submitted via a form (not the concurrent manager request form), then you probably need to use 2 steps to produce the desired output.
For more information, see the following thread:

ALV Report Output Print issue with more Columns

Hi Experts ,
I'm facing an issue while printing an ALV report which has around 22 columns .If i reduce the column display in the code . I'm able to print but not with 22 columns.. I have used Line-size = 1023 and line-count = 60 , but still the problem persists .
I also searched in SDN with similar issue but managed to get only the above solution which is not working .
Any other ways of doing it , kindly suggest .
Many Thanks,
Kumaran

175 characters is the maximum number of characters that can be generated in a line of a spool (next characters are stored on the next line of the spool). When the spool is printed, these line feeds are respected.
What is possible (I don't know) is that ALV chooses its own format type instead of the format type you have chosen when you run your program in background. To check that, just look at spool attributes (SP01).

BIP Report Output File

Hi,
Can a BIP report be automatically launched (PDF) from Siebel, after being generated from a workflow using the GenerateBIPReport Method of the “XMLP Driver Service” BS. OOTB the BS saves the report in the Siebel file system and the user needs to navigate to my BIP and open the report.

Reports - output to Excel - does not format the "Broken by" rows correctly

Choosing the "break by" column clause while building one of the
wizard based reports works great when you are displaying the
reports in the default HTML mode.
So, my query actually returns a denormalized return set with
multiple rows containing the same fields on certain columns.
This works great with the default format, since the repeated
fields/rows are nulled and I get a neat report.
However, the same thing, if I choose to output in excel, I get
the original denormalized output into the excel document instead
of the null fields for the duplicate fields/columns
It looks like it sends the result set directly to the excel
before allowing the Report UI formatting to take effect. This
is a big issue for us, since we promised the client that we
could get them excel outputs easily, when it does not really
work the way you would expect it.
Any suggestions ??
regards
-Ananth

Ananth,
Presently, this is not supported. It is targeted for some future
release. This is a known bug. If you want the bug number then
mail me as it can not be posted here (It is unpublished bug).

XML Report output giving error "word cannot open the file because....

Hi All,
Greetings!
I have a standard report, 'Payables Posted Invoice Register".
The report was going in to warning beacuse of some Invalid characters in the Data.
I corrected the invalid characters and then ran the report ; it completed fine.
But now when I try to open the report output, the output is not getting open but its allowing me to save the file.
When I save it on my local machine and try to open it, I am getting an error as "word cannot open the file because it is larger than 512 megabytes".
The document size showing is 664MB when I saved it on my machine. And the output type of the report is RTF and not PDF.
Can anybody please help?
Thanks,
Sachin

not sure, if the Microsoft word has limitation of file size.

Discoverer report - Output from Discoverer plus is not the same as Discoverer desktop

As a part of Upgrade project we are migrating the discoverer reports from 11i (11.5.10.2) to R12 (12.1.3) .After migrating to R12, for a custom discoverer report the output given by discoverer desktop is correct (24 rows for a scenario). But the report output from Discoverer plus does not show the credit transactions (2 rows). The output from Discoverer plus shows only 22 rows (24 - 2), which is incorrect. The query is the same in Discoverer desktop and Discoverer plus.
Please let me know why these transactions that are appearing when the report is run from discoverer desktop are not appearing in discoverer plus. Is there any setup in discoverer plus for this?
Regards,
Brajesh

Pretty hard to answer a question like this. Best bet would be to copy the existing discoverer plus book and start removing conditions, fields, etc until those two rows from desktop show up and see if you can work it out.

Problem In report output display when i run in the background

Hi,
In a classical report i am printing around 17 fields the width of the report out put is around 800 characters.
If i run the report in the fore ground it running perfectly. But the thing is when i give large selection is it GETTING ' TIMED OUT ' as it is running more than an Hour.

But when i run in the backgroud i am not getting full out put in the SPOOL request(SIZE of the report output may causing the problem) .
Pls come up with some solutions
Thanks in advance

Try increasing the spool length..
Refer this link for doing so.

Need report output same as its show in the previewer in the (.txt and .xls) format

I need an output file(in text and excel format) generated from the report builder exactly in same format as it shows in the Report previewer.
it should include all the labels as well as the data.
Thanx in advance

Hi Dharam
You can create text file output as seen on Live Previewer by generating to Text (File->Generate to File->Text). Ensure that you run Builder with the following command line parameter:
MODE=CHARACTER
If the Builder mode is not character (BITMAP), it will generate PostScript file if you do a File->Generate to File->Text.
You can create Excel format output from Reports with Delimited output (File->Generate to File->Delimited). In the ensuing dialog box, choose comma (,) as the delimiter to obtain a CSV file. Export this file in Excel.

Does anyone has issue to connect to the wi fi at home

I just got my ipad2 and try to coneect to my home wi fi, and got issue to connect to the wi fi net work. I had typed in my password coupe time, but no connection at all. I am sure my password is correct, what else should I check for this issue? Anyone knows this?

No problem for me. I also have the wifi & 3G iPad2
Suggest you call your isp provider to be sure your router works with your ipad, and verify your log in name and password. Also, remember to use capital letters when necessary, if that's how your login was set up.
