BO xi 3.1 u2013 schedule a template for multiple reports with different column

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to BO, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to schedule a single template with different parameters for all reports in BO, or create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks!

Hi,
The only approach I can think of is to create a template report which uses variables
For each column you would need to variable
v_columnAName and v_columnAValue
v_columnAName would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";NameOf([firstName]);if([client]="clientB";NameOf([SSN]);NameOf([lastName]));
v_columnA would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";[firstName];if([client]="clientB";[SSN],[lastName]));
This would only work when you had a small set of clients.
This might be more managable if it was done in the universe

Design a single template for multiple reports with different column order

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to Crystal Report 2008, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks in advance.

-As I mentioned you can find Template Field object in Insert menu of crystal report Designer 2008.
As soon as you select Template Field object you will be able to see a box beside ur mouse cursor. Drag and drop this box at required place. Now when you place this object in report you will get some thing like this "<TemplateField1>" listed under Formula Fields tree. Double click "<TemplateField1>" formula to add your conditions.
-I have not tested it for large amount of Customers. However as the number of customer increases the number of conditions will get increased.
For the customer that want the same ordering of columns you can put those customers under one condition.
    for Example...
          if(?Client in ['clientA','clientA']) then
                    <TableName>.<Field>......
-What do you mean be 40 columns? Do you mean 40 fields or you want to show 40 columns in report? Please elaborate.

How to schedule multiple reports with different local to change static field language ?

Hi all,
we have requirement that we will place multiple schedule request on same server ,This schedule request will be different local setting with parameter value like: en-GB,en-US,Chinese...etc .We used translation Manager for this and it takes this parameter and change report language for static fields.
problem is that ,on server it is not working properly,we tested for one report .if we pass prompt value to change local setting in report the we need to log off and login again in CMC to reflect new local or on BI Launchpad we need to refresh page then it shows new language.
How we can do this with multiple scheduled report which will have different local value like en-GB,en-US,Chinese,German....?These schedule request are getting placed in server by one user .
Please help us with sample code.
Thanks

Multiple scheduling for same reports (with different prompt)

Hi,
I have to plan the scheduling of 10 reports (refresh and then .pdf generating). But i have to refresh these reports for 15 countries each time (prompt different between each instance).
So it will be 10*15=150 refresh done on the database !! Is it possible to make a 'massive' refresh (for all countries) and only filter by country when generated the input format (.pdf) ?
What is the best practice ?
Regards

Hi
then you should definitely take a look at the publications.

User Interface Template for Interactive Report Region

In 3.2, where do we set the user interface template for Interactive Reports region?
No matter what out of the box theme I switch to, the Interactive Reports region shows the same. What and where do I change the template so that alternating rows use two different colors?

There is no template for Interactive Reports like for a "normal" report. You need to modify the CSS and supply your own for this to happen.
I believe most things are tagged with #apexir - firebug with Firebox is invaluable. This thread may help:

Creating some sort of text template for multiple pictures

Hello, I'm new to the forums and new to photoshop elements. Let me lay out the situation so you have a better idea of what I'm trying to do and why. I work at a real estate office and we are going to hang a tv on the wall and display a slideshow of our homes for sale and ontop of the pictures I am going to add text to each photo with information about the home. I want to be able to add text in the same proportions in the same spot on each photograph. Is there some automatic way of doing this? I will have to hand type different info on each photo. The pictures come from different cameras (each agent takes their own photos) with different resolutions and doing it one by one (ive done just a few out of over a hundred so far) I'm finding out that one size text works on one but when I try to use the same size font on the next photo it's either too big or too small, I guess this is because of the different resolutions of each camera. I know I may have rambled a bit here but if anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be thankful.
If I need to clear up anything I've said let me know.
Thanks

The font size is correlated with the resolution.
Have you investigated use of Powerpoint to construct a continuous-loop presentation?
"Self-running presentations are a great way to communicate information without having to have someone available to run a slide show. For example, you might want to set up a presentation to run unattended in a booth or kiosk at a trade show or convention. You can make most controls unavailable so that users can't make changes to the presentation. A self-running presentation restarts when it's finished and also when it's been idle on a manually advanced slide for longer than five minutes.
When designing a self-running presentation, you'll want to keep the setting in mind — for example, whether the booth or kiosk will be in an unmonitored public place or whether supervision will be available. The answer will help you determine what elements you add to your presentation, how much control you give users, and what steps you need to take to prevent misuse.
To set up a self-running show: open the presentation, click Set Up Show on the Slide Show menu, and then click Browsed at a kiosk (full screen). When you click this option, Loop continuously until "Esc" is automatically selected."

I'm sorry, but Pages won't correctly open the Avery templates with the .doc extension. They open, but all the formatting is lost. Just a blank page.
I tried to chane extension to .template, as suggested by the Pages -Help window. That didn't work either.

WS-SDK Scheduling two instances of the same report with different params

I'm using the web services SDK for Business Objects XI 3.1 SP 2 to schedule reports. I've got it so that I can successful schedule a report with prompts, setting the value for the prompt and running the report.
However, I'm now trying to schedule two instances of the same report using a single call to BIPlatform.Schedule. It creates the correct number of new instances, the last of which is completely correct. The first one (and in fact if I do more than two all the rest except the last) lose the parameter value from the prompt and the schedule information and the type. So for example if I schedule two instances, both PDF, both for 8am tomorrow with parameters of 1 and 2, I get:
A Webi instance, scheduled to run immediately with no parameters specified and
A PDF instance, scheduled for 8am tomorrow with parameter 2
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Cheers,
Jack
Edited by: Jackson Pope on Feb 3, 2011 1:34 PM

Can you possibly post your code here that sets params and schedules? Also as you schedule 2 instances on a single report in a sinlgle biplatform.schedule call(): as you query for InfoObject what you actually query for a single report isn't it, or do you schedule a report template and reschdule it previous instance?

Invalid xml decl while creating template for a report created in BIP

Hi
I am in the process developing a report - extracting data from an xmltype column. I defined my query - as simple as (for now):
select xmlcol.getclobval() from table1
The way information is stored in each xmltype column is with the xml declaration - something like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rootelem>
<a>adjaghd</a>
<b>adjaghd</b>
<c>adjaghd</c>
</rootelem>
So when I get the output, I have the declaration (...xml version...)for each row returned. I am assuming that being the reason when I try to create the template in work for this report, it given me Invalid XML Decl. How can I extract from xmltype column without getting the header information for each row?

Anyone can answer this question please?

ESSO-LM Template for Web App with select tag

Hi everyone,
I am tasked with creating a template for a web application and the desired behaviour is that when logging into the application the language will be selected from <select> list.
It seems that the ESSO only allows to choose from the list only based on the the title="xxx" the xxx between <option>xxx</option> tags (the actual code is <option value="yy" title="xxx">xxx</option>). The problem I face is that the "xxx" string changes based on the language selected (e.g. when English version is selected, xxx values are in English; if German is selected, xxx values are in German; etc.).
Is there any way ESSO can change the language in the list (using the Input Element Type "Select-One") using the value="yy" or do I have to push for the universal, language independent, naming convention for "xxx" string?
Thank you for your time.
Ondrej

did you try passing the period without the separator

Naren,
Another option is, if you want to FORCE global stylesheet for ALL users. You can update the WebIDefaultStyleSheet.css located in \SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\images\ folder.
