BOBJ Reporting Solution Options

Hi Experts,
I need expert advise on the following questions.
1. What are the tools available in BOBJ to create reports out of NON-SAP datawarehouse build on SQL Server?
2. What tools/methodolgy can be used to create reports out of SAP BW and Non-SAP data using BOBJ?
3. Is building a universe the only way to create a report out of Non-SAP data? if no, what are the other options?
4. What are the tools available in BOBJ which can be used to create a reporting solution combining non-sap data (legacy) and SAP BW data? For example financial statement report showing data going back to 36 months in which 12 months data is from SAP BW and the 24 months is from legacy.
Thanks,
SB.

BOBJ consists of following tools to create reports
Desktop Intelligence (DeskI)
WebI
WebI Rich Client
Crystal Reports -
All above tools can be used to create reports from SAP and non-SAP data. Depending on your need, you can choose the tool.
DeskI can be used to create reports from Universes, free hand SQL, personal data files
WebI can be used to create reports from universe (only)
webi rich client is same webI but it is adesktop version. it is available from XI 3 onwards. they introduced personal data files as source.
Crystal reports can be created from Business View, Universe, personal data files, sql, etc.
Designer - to create Universe
Business View Manager - to create Business View
universe is a metadata create on the data structure. it can be either sap data or non-sap data.
hope this helps

Webcast-OBIEE Analytics/Reporting Solutions for E-Business Ste, Sep 9 12EDT

TODAY: I invite you all to an Oracle BI Applications related Techcast, let's use this for interactive Q&A as well. We can follow up on the question here.
See more details at http://OracleBIWA.org
Wednesday, September 9, 12 noon Eastern
OBIEE Analytics/Reporting Solutions for E-Business Suite
Audio Dial-In: 888 967 2253 Audio Meeting ID: 572994 Audio Meeting Passcode: 334451
Web Conference: https://conference.oracle.com/imtapp/app/cmn_jm_hub.uix?mID=150764532
BIWA Wednesday TechCast Series - Sixth Event!
This presentation will showcase different options for OBIEE-based Analytical Reporting such as:
1) Oracle BI Applications for supported Oracle E-Business Suite Modules and other Oracle Applications.
It will include real world experiences for implementing BI Apps Version 7.9.6
2) Custom OBIEE Development against E-Business Suite (when no BI apps are available)
3) Migration of Discoverer EUL to OBIEE RPD using Migration Utility
While OBIEE and BI Apps are clearly the strategic analytics reporting direction from Oracle, only certain Analytics applications are available. Sometimes all customer needs for BI reporting may not be met by these pre-built analytics. For instance, JD Edwards has pre-built ETL connectors only for Financial Analytics. While more BI Apps and ETL connectors are in the pipeline, how can users meet their reporting needs today as they go live in near future? In this session, we will look at several short and medium term solutions without deviating from the long term strategic goal of using pre-built BI applications to reduce the overall risk.
Several real life situations will be evaluated with demonstration of the steps involved such as how to Migrate Discoverer reports to OBIEE with the highest degree of automation. Likewise, we will cover how DBI views be used for custom OBIEE reporting.
Presenter: Shyam Varan Nath is an OBIEE Architect for IBM Global Business Services with extensive experience in implementing OBIEE and BI Apps. He has worked on several Oracle Data Warehousing Projects for customers including Citigroup, Air Force, Land O'Lakes, and Blue Cross Blue Shield Association. Shyam has been a Certified Oracle DBA since 1998 and has 18 years of industry experience. He is a regular speaker at BIWA Summit, IOUG/Collaborate, Regional User Groups and Oracle Openworld since 2003. Shyam has also worked at Oracle (BI Consulting Practice) and Deloitte Consulting.

Portal - BEx and BOBJ reporting layout

Gurus,
Lets say we have 2 kind of reporting community
1)BEx (existing 2009 golive)
2)BOBJ (2010 go live)
If both this reports need to be rendered on the portal ,what are the options available ??
do we need to separate both of this reports as the security is different for both ,how do we make it transparent for users to have single place and tree to report on?
Thanks

Ingo ,thanks.
From the content and SSO standpoint we are clear.
But my question was more from look and feel standpoint,how will the user see both the reports will it be 2 Ivews separated
1)Bex Reports
    HR
    FI
2)BOBJ reports
   HR
   FI
I understand based on individual security settings they will get the access ,but wanted to know how the layout will look.
thanks

BOBJ report failed in SAP 6.0.   "/CRYSTAL/OSQL_EXECUTE".*. short dump in S

We have a set of crystal reports that run correctly in SAP4.6C. During the upgarde, we are unable to run any report against the new sap 6.0 but the same report run correctly against SAP4.6C. Whenever we run the bobj report, a short dump is created in SAP ECC6.0 as follow:
Information on where terminated
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "/CRYSTAL/OSQL_EXECUTE" - in
     "START-OF-SELECTION".
    The main program was "/CRYSTAL/OSQL_EXECUTE ".
    In the source code you have the termination point in line 48
    of the (Include) program "/CRYSTAL/OSQL_EXECUTE".
We are using BOBJ XI SP2. SAPGUI 6.2. SAP ECC6.0 SERVER. The following sets of transports from BOBJ integration kit SP4 have been imported into SAP.
Open SQL Connectivity transport
Row-level security definition transprot
cluster definition transport
Infoset Connectivity transport
Authenticaton helpers tranport
BOBJ support has been unable to help so far..

Roland, we tried using the IP address to connect and create report and the same short-dump still occurs. We also applied BOBJ SP4 and it still didn't help. Please let us know if you have other thoughts. Thank you.
Here is a snapshot of the sap short-dump.

[Forum FAQ] How do I change default values shown in Report Delivery Options?

Introduction
Some users want to change default values shown in Report Delivery Options when creating standard subscriptions. Someone might want to always Cc the report to a specified user without sending the report URL. So they want to display those default values display
automatically when creating standard subscriptions like below.
Solution
To achieve this goal, please embed JavaScript code into the SubscriptionProperties.aspx file to change those default values (By default, the file’s location is: <Installation directory>\Reporting Services\ReportManager\Pages\SubcriptionProperties.aspx).
The example below will show how to set default values for “Cc” field and “Include Link” field.
Before coding, pleas find out the corresponding HTML tags of the two fields in the browser using IE Developer Tools.
Get “Cc” field with its corresponding HTML tag
Get “Include Link” field with its corresponding HTML tag
Embed such a code snippet at the end of the existing code within the SubcriptionProperties.aspx file
<script runat="server">
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(typeof(Page),"MyScript", "var cc = document.getElementById('CcEmailAddressesID');cc.value = '[email protected]';var IncludeLink = document.getElementById('ui_cbIncludeLink');IncludeLink.checked
= false;",true);}
</script>
Create a new subscription to check the default values shown in Report Delivery Options
Applies to
Reporting Services 2005
Reporting Services 2008
Reporting Services 2008 R2
Reporting Services 2012
Reporting Services 2014

Thanks,
Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

Outlook Junk Reporting Add-In Not working - No "Report Junk" option

I have installed the "Junk Reporting Add-in for Office 2007, 2010, 2013 (32bit).msi" from Microsoft on 2 computers with Outlook 2013 as part of Office 365. Both are currently on version 15.0.4693 (latest version). On one, when I right click on
a message and go to the Junk options there is, as expected, the new "Report Junk" option. On the other, running on a Windows 8.1 system, that option is not there. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no effect.
Any ideas why the Add-In might not be working on the 8.1 computer? Anything I should try?
Thanks,
Colin

Hello Colin,
Does the user have any other add-in installed? This issue may occur if a conflict with a plug-in or an add-in causes the Junk Email Reporting Add-in to become disabled. We need to first check if the Junk Reporting Add-in is listed in the Add-in list under
File > Options > Add-ins. If it's not in the list, it means the add-in is disabled or not installed successfully. To check if the Add-in is disabled, go to File > Options > Add-ins, switch the "Manage:" drop-down
list to Disabled Items and press Go. Check if Junk Reporting Add-in is listed there. If so, highlight the add-in and click
Enable.
Please let me know the result.
Regards,
Steve Fan

Fetching workflow status from Extended Properties in SharePoint 2013 sequential workflow (Farm solutions) option

HI,
I am using VS 2012, I have selected the option "sharepoint sequential workflow (Farm solution) option and not the workflow App model.
Earlier in SharePoint 2010, the approver status column can be got from ExtendedProperties["TaskStatus"] and which contained either "#" or "@" as its value.
However, in SharePoint 2013, the ExtendedProperties does not contain the "TaskStatus" key. In the quickwatch, i was able to see the value as "#" associated to some guid key. In the debug mode,i can see the below:
(new System.Collections.Hashtable.HashtableDebugView(TaskPropertiesForManagerAfter.ExtendedProperties)).Items[12]
But I’m not sure how to get to it from the code?
How to retrieve the Task Status using ExtendedProperties in SharePoint 2013?

Having problems getting SPD 2013 installed on my laptop because of a trial of O365, but I know in SPD 2010 you could find the BCC fields, etc... in the Advanced properties, it wasn't directly available via the common interface. I know 2013 is very
different from 2010, and if I can get it to install correctly, I will update, but look for an advanced property, or an XML view where you can find the FROM: field.

Report Export option on the top

Hi In Oracle Apex reports,
Can we have Report Export option on top and bottom simultaneously?
Thanks,

Hi,
You can't do that using any report settings as such, but you could update a report template to do that. In a report template, you can use #CSV_LINK# wherever you want the export option to appear. By default, this is underneath the report (in the "After Rows" template setting), but you could also add this in above the report (in the "Before Rows" template setting).
When working with templates, it is always a good idea to work on a copy of an existing template - especially if the change is only for one report. In Shared Components, Templates, create a new Report Template and base this on a copy of your existing template. Once created, make the change as above and Apply Changes. Then, on your report, switch its template to your new one.

Newly registered user doesn't have Data Model or Report Creation option

Hi,
I have recently registered in http://bipdev2.us.oracle.com:7001/xmlpserver
Except Create Report Job option, i do not have Create Data Model and Create Report options visible in my Home page.
In My Account-> My Groups, in which i have BI Consumer Role assigned.
Do i need to have a BI Administrator Role (or) BI Author Role to have these options enabled in my Home page?.
or What is the procedure to request for access
Any help regarding the same is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Parvez

Hi,
for the first part where you don't access I would suggest you do an authorization trace to ensure that the user has all the necessary authorizations.
and on the second part - yes the user needs to have credentials for the system that you trying to access

(( Hello -ENABLE REPORT PRINTING - OPTION NOT SHOWING ))

2010-07-28
Hello,
I am trying to print a report in APEX 4.0
using the free account APEX.ORACLE.COM .
I learning how to do this using the tutorial at:
http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/apex/r40/apexstart/apexstart_b/apexstart_b_ll.htm
In the tutorial it says:
(about 40% down the page)
17 .
Select Yes in the ****Enable Report Printing**** drop-down menu and select Portrait in the Orientation drop-down menu under Page Attributes. Then click the Page Header tab.
The screenshot the tutorial shows looks like this:
HTTP://mankindwins.com/__7700-2900-APEX-GLOBAL-201/850-500-SCREENSHOTS-FOR-EMAILS-203/ENABLE-REPORT-PRINTING--SCREENSHOT-FROM-TUTORIAL.jpg
However, when I go into the page for my application, the screen looks
like this:
HTTP://mankindwins.com/__7700-2900-APEX-GLOBAL-201/850-500-SCREENSHOTS-FOR-EMAILS-203/PRINT-ATTRIBUTES--FROM-INSIDE-APEX-PAGE.jpg
As you can see, there is no option for:
****ENABLE REPORT PRINTING****
What do I have to do this make this option appear?
How do I get the
****ENABLE REPORT PRINTING****
option to appear?
I believe I saw something somewhere that said you had to do
so-and-so to ****enable report printing****.
How do you do this?
Thanks for your help!

Actuate reporting solutions

Solano,
We have developed a module that integrates Forte with Actuate. We were very
impressed with Actuate's reporting capability, but our clients had a couple of
concerns with it: 1) they didn't like the per-user fee Actuate charges for the
report scheduler, 2) they wanted to use the same interface to input parameters
that they use in their normal application windows (with drop-down lists,
multi-selection list, validations, short cut keys, etc.).
What we did was to create a front-end window in Forte that dynamically builds
parameter screens for inputting report parameters. These windows vary
depending upon the reports' needs. After entering these parameters, the user
can run the report from Forte.
Shortly we will add the ability for the users to parse their reports, by
customer, and automatically fax them. When R3 is released, we will further
integrate the two tools.
I myself have not used Actuate, but if you are still interested, and I can
refer you to our Actuate/Forte experts.
Thanks,
Vince Hoenigman

Is there anybody who use Actuate Reporting System integrated with Forte'?
We would like to know if it is possible to design and produce reports
directly from Forte' Application without making a new query on DBMS (from
Actuate Developer Workbench).
By the way we are also looking to have a multiplatform reporting system
(using also Unix Client machines). We read about Actuate Report Server. Do
we
have to use Actuate Report Server together with Actuate Developer Workbench
or there are other possibility to work with Unix Clients?
We'll be very happy to receive an answer about our questions or to have some

The FormattedDataSet is not a total reporting solution, but it does a good job of displaying tabular data such as you would see in a listbox, html table, xml, or csv. It is flexible, fast and easy to use. You crreate your own templates which do a good job of separating formatting from presentation. This allows for both reuse of the data and formatting

Reporting solution

Hello all!
I am newbie in this field and i have complex question to the experienced guys.
I need to implement own reporting solution for my software.
requirements:
- simple reports (counting items per period) on daily/weekly/monthly basis
- output: probably html table, because it is easy to publish on webpage or sent by email
- automatic reporting solution
- independent from DB type (oracle/mysql)...is it possible to do it somehow independent??
which technologies can be successfully used for such project? (stored procedures? plsql? shell script? perl? php scripting?)
any opinions are appreciated

There are quite a few.. OBIEE is good enough with way too many features. Scalable as well..
If you would like to develop your own, APEX has enough capability to address your needs.
