Hi,
With the help of report painter you can create(design) your customised reports. The report painter does not require any ABAP coding, The functional consultants use this report painter tool to create the reports.
For example, In profitability analysis the report painter tool uses vastly where you can design your own report with the combination of characterstics (Customer wise, product wise, etc.) and value fields (Sales, Cost of goods sold, Gross profit, Net profit, etc.) to analyse the profitability.. 
Beside these reports, the ABAP reports require ABAP coding.
Hope it clarifies your doubt.

  • Difference between Asset Intelligence 09A report and reports in the Software Metering folder

    Dear all,
    I can not seem to grasp the difference between Asset Intelligence 09x reports and reports in the Software Metering folder. Do they extract conclusions based on the same data and which data are those? I also have come to notice that there are occasional dicrepancies
    between them. Why would this be?

    Hi,
    1. Software metering allows you to create a rule and meter application usage very granular, when it is started, how many times , how long it has been used e.t.c, Asset intellegence doesn't require you to create any rules it will only inventory start/stop
    so you can get reports like "all computers that hasn't started a application in x days".
    2.It depends on the license agreement for that application, but yes you can get how many has started a specific application within a timeframe.
    3.No

  • PLEASE HELP!  members deleted after refreshing, current report and report layout

    Hi ,
    First of all , before explain my issue, I read the note about March Microsoft update, and my symptoms aren't exactly similar but almost the same.
    And it appeared last week, so one month after the ms update.
    So, I opened my report, and I see that current report and report layout are greyed out,
    I try to refresh the report and some members in rows axis are deleted.
    I'm only  one to have this problem in my team.
    Is there anybody able to solve my issue please ?
    Thanks in advance
    Jonas
    P.S  sorry for my english.

    Hi Marco,
    First of all, sorry to reply long a time after you answer but I was so very busy with another things.
    In fact, It's was a mistake, It's sure that it's not about an update. My issue comes only when I save my report in a different server, When I'm in the  source server,  I select the target server with  "Select Another Connection" process And I save my report in the target server.
    After that,  lot of members are dissapeared in my row axis.
    I don't know why.

  • Collect information from an exprenal SQL DB and collect it into a SCOM Databag so we can collect the data, report and report on it.

    The DB is collecting counts.  We want to collect the counts into a bag, then once in the bag be able to report the counts (need to collect on an hourly basis)

    Hi TLC426,
    you can use a timed powershell or vb script to connect to the db and run a sql command against it. The result must then be parsed and returned in the property bag.
    As a starting point you should have a look at Pete Zerger's blog post
    http://www.systemcentercentral.com/scom-query-sql-database-for-value-in-monitoring-script/ .
    Just wrap around the creation of a property bag and replace the eventlog entry generation with returning the value.
    Please keep in mind that you should always should return a property bag, even it is empty.

  • Reporting and Report tools for CCM

    Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some suggestions on reporting in CCM. To be a little more specific; for example if a few users complain they are tryin to make outbound calls, and getting a busy signal, is there any reporting tool that I can use to pinpoint the problem or eventually be able to say, hey we need another phone line, etc...
    Also. User calls can complains that the calls they are making lack in quality, how do I report on this or research?

    In order to determine if there are any records in the Structured Query Language (SQL) database, complete these steps:
    Choose Start > Programs > SQL > Enterprise Manager > Microsoft SQL Servers > SQL Server Group.
    Choose Publisher Server > Databases.
    Choose CDR > Tables. Right-click the CallDetailRecord table.
    Choose Open Table > Return All Rows. Determine if there are any records.
    If many records appear, complete this procedure to remove records from ART:
    Choose Programs > SQL Server > Query Analyzer. Log in and choose ART database.
    Run these queries:
    delete from Tbl_Load_History
    delete from Tbl_Dump_PkID
    delete from Tbl_Error_Id_Map
    delete from Tbl_Billing_Data
    delete from Tbl_Billing_Error
    delete from Tbl_Dump_CallDetailRecord
    delete from Tbl_Dump_CallDetailRecordDiagnostic
    This forces ART to get all the old CDRs into ART in the next scheduled loading time. By default, CDR data is loaded every day from midnight to 5 a.m.
    Restart the CDR Insert and DBL Monitor Services from CCM Administration > Application >Cisco CCM Serviceability >Tools > Control Center.
    Refer to the How can I manually purge the ART database? section of CallManager Issue Resolution with CDR and ART FAQ for more information.
    Note: Information deletes from the ART database but not from the CDR.
    Note: If you do not see any records, there are no CDR entries for that time and date range. Determine if conditions are met for CDR generation. CDR records are generated in these circumstances:
    The service parameters CdrEnabled and CallDiagnosticsEnabled are set to True.
    The call is established and has a talk duration greater than 0.
    The call fails and has a cause code that reflects the error.
    In order to set the service parameters, choose Service > Service Parameters, and make sure that the service parameters CdrEnabled and CallDiagnosticsEnabled are set to True in all of the Cisco CallManager servers, both publisher and subscriber.

    Could it be because A4 is actually 11.5" by 8.5" ?

    In fact the ISO standard is 8.3" × 11.7". 8.5" x 11" is "Letter", which nobody uses any more.

  • BI content InfoCube missing for reporting and reports show'~' in with KFs

    Hello friends,
    I need help with the following two issue with the business content query that I have
    installed in DEV system.
    1. I have installed a BI content infocube and 5 standard
       queries with it, I am able to see and execute the query but some other
       users are not able to see the Infocube listed under Infoarea. The same
       users were able to see the Infocube if they tried creating a new query.
    2. When I execute the same installed standard BI content query all the key figures values in columns are shown with a '~' symbol before and after it.
       example: $ 198.63  and -$ 0.02
       How do I over come this ? and what might be the reason ? Please suggest.
    Thanks,
    SONU.

    Hi Sonu,
    In Tcode SU01 check roles and profiles for your users.
    Then in PFCG check the authorizations for that specific roles you have found in SU01.
    Maybe your users have restrictions on query names: maybe they are authorized to execute only query starting with "Z" and BC query start with "0".
    Ciao.
    Riccardo.
    PS: If Bhanu has solved your problem for item 2 I think you have to assign points...

  • Report Painter - Hide library and report instead of deleting

    Good Afternoon Everyone,
    My finance users are pressuring me to clean up the navigation in the GRR3 report painter transaction.  Many of the libraries that are displayed are standard SAP libraries and I'm hesitant to begin deleting standard SAP libraries, reports, and report groups since you can't get those back once deleted.  Is there a possibility to hide libraries/reports that are not being used any longer?  I'm on my own and would like your input about what the best practice is when faced with this scenario.  Thanks in advance for the help.
    Jordan
    Edited by: Jordan Simons on Apr 4, 2011 9:06 PM

    Hi,
    I don't know if its possible to suppress/hide libraries/reports.
    Create T-codes for the reports the users really need and add the reports to the corresponding area menu in SAP. Thus users don't have a need to use GRR3 anymore, remove the T-code from the authorization concept.
    best regards, Christian

  • Interactive Reports and BI Publisher

    Hello all,
    i am facing the problem that i have developed some applications and the only report type i used is 'interactive report'. This feature is fantastic! All end users are very happy with the possibilities the reports provide.
    Now the problem: we have BI Publisher integrated in APEX as print server. But the output ind PDF and Execl is far from being satisfying. It seems to me that only filters and ordering are sent to the BI Publisher. Every single printed report is a flat table and grouping and calculations are removed.
    Is there a way i don't know to create Excel-Downloads (and / or PDF-Downloads) where the structure of the report is the same as in the browser? If not, is it planned to integrate a 'real' print / publish functionality in APEX in the near future?
    If you know anything please share your knowledge, because this is the sow-stopper for for my applications. The only work around i found is to use 'normal' reports, but this will leave all the end users very unhappy.
    Thanks in advance,
    Wolfgang
    --- edit
    i am using apex 3.2 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1

    Wolfang,
    You're correct, Interactive Reports do currently not support all the printing features that are available with Classic Reports and Report Queries. This includes groupings, calculations, etc, and you can also not use your custom RTF templates with these reports yet. For APEX 4.0 we are planing to have Interactive Report exports (PDF, Word, Excel, HTML) that reflect what you see on your web page. And also to add support for custom RTF templates.

  • Delete Reports from Reporting Server

    Hi,
    We have created and scheduled some test reports via Idera performance tool but we are unable to delete the reports. These are not custom reports and reports created with Schedule Email option in Idera. Unfortunately, I dera does not have any option to delete
    these reports and support is asking me if I tried this by deleting from SQL Server Reporting Services.
    I looked at the Reporting services but can't find any place to delete these reports. This link does not help me because I don't have these (Or Report Manager)----> Configuration Manager console, navigate to
    System Center Configuration Manager / Site Database /
    Computer Management / Reporting / Reporting Services
    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc678417.aspx
    All I have is "Reporting Services Configuration Manager" under "Configuration Tools". How can I delete these reports from SQL Server Reporting services ?. Can I delete them from some tables in Reports databases ?. If so, what are the
    tables ?. I delete the jobs from SQL Server but the jobs are automatically created the next day emailing the reports again......Thanks for any help.
    SQL Server 2012 SP2 - Windows 2008 R2.

  • Drill Down Report through Report Painter

    Dear All
    I am looking solution for Drill Down Reporting through Report Painter.
    Kindly Help me for the same.
    Thanks in Advance
    Alok

    Hi Alok,
    All the report writer reports and report painter reports will have the ability of drill down. You can create a report using  T Code GRR1 and GR31. Create a report group T Code GR51 and assign the report to the report group. Generate the report group using T code GR55. One the report is executed double clik on any line item, the system will take you to the drill down options.
