Built in viewer not displaying XML report

we are working on a test system that was originally developed elsewhere, using TestStand 4.0. It is generating XML report files, but not using the default NI schema, instead using both it's own 'custom' schema and reportgen sequence file for the report formatting. When it was running in TS 4.0, it all appeared to operate correctly, i.e. once the execution had come to an end, the built in TS viewer showed the XML file formatted correctly as defined in the XSL file.
For a variety of reasons, we have needed to upgrade to TS 4.2.1, and as a result, the built in report viewer no longer displays the XML report at teh end of an execution. Instead, it shows an error ...
'The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/<file_path>/TempReport.xml'
Looking in the <file_path>, there is a TempReport.xml file, which is empty, hence the error message, but there is also the correct xml file, with data in. Clicking on the 'Viewer' button in the built in report viewer kicks off IE, which correctly shows the saved report file, complete with the formatting as defined in the xsl file, so it would appear that the custom reportgen sequence is still doing it's job correctly, just that the built in viewer has a problem... (Incidentally, if you try to refresh the viewer, as suggested in the error message, it brings back the same error, but repetatively creates a new TempReport file, with a number appended...)
I've traced through the sequence model (this is the default model) and the tempReport file is only created when the sequence model finishes, (In fact checking the value of the Locals.ReportFilePath variable right at the end of the sequence model shows the correct filename...) suggesting that it is not a sequence problem, but rather something built into TS? (I saw some comment on another forum entry suggesting that a temp file is created when using IE as an external viewer, to prevent a memory leak)
Realistically this is not a major problem, but it has got to the level of annoying now, having to open an external viewer even though the built in one is loaded by default... I'm guessing that the built in viewer is just a simple browser? if so, why is it being passed the wrong file/creating an empty xml file. If I set the report back to standard xml, I see the report ok, but without the formatting.
It seems odd that this breaks in TS 4.2.1 but works fine in 4.0, when TS is meant to be backwardsly compatible
Any ideas would be gratefully received...

Thanks for the suggestion Anand... As it turns out, you were very nearly right. It turned out that it wasn't actually the stylesheet path that was causing the error, but instead the original developers had over-ridden the use of the standard NI xml report handler sequence to use one of their own, by setting the ReportOptions.format to a different name from xml. In the Setup Reports Display sequence call (uses a sequence in the modelsupport.seq file) there was a pre-condition on the format name, and as it no longer contained just xml, the precondition failed, and the sequence call that sets up temporary paths etc. never ran. I added an additional precondition state, to check for either xml, or the format used in this case, and everything sprung back into action. I'm not sure whether something similar was done previously in TS 4.0...
Is there a list of these known problems in TS 4.2.1? I did look around the NI site a bit before posting the initial question, and didn't see anything that seemed to detail this...
Once again, thanks for your assistance

Text data is not displaying at Report level for an Infoobject Item name

Hi All,
Texts data is maintained at Info object level but text information is not displaying at Report level for an object. I have set the property at query level as "Text", but at report level it is displaying key values of the object, not displaying texts information. This problem occured in QA(Quality) system but not replicated in Production system. I have checked all properties at backend and query level and compared the same between QA and Production system didn't find any difference.
Please suggest what might be the cause: at report level it is displaying key values instead of the textual information even text data is mainintained at backend. In production it is displaying textal data for the IO.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
Thanks for your valuable information. I have changed the setting under Advanced tab as "Master data" for Access type for results values, but didn't solved the problem still it showing key information for the IO.
In Production system the report displaying texts information for the IO, but in QA its displaying key information. The problem exits only in QA, its working fine in DEv and Production.
As per my understanding might be the issue with Patches will be checking with Basis team on the same.
Please suggest if you have any alternatives to fix the issue.

Font not displaying on Reports Output (RHEL 5) for 10g

Hi, I know I've posted a question in the past about a font not displaying on Report Output for my Arial, Arial Narrow, and Courier New fonts. I worked with Oracle Support and found that Metalink Note#261879.1 fixed my problem with those 3 fonts. I ran the scripts and now that part works great.
However, I have one font "ARIALUNI.TTF" that will not work. This is out specific barcode font we use. I've pushed it on Linux from my Windows by pushing it as a binary file to the ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/TTF directory. I even put it in the directory for TTF on Metalink Notoe 261829.1 and let it create the files, but it still doesn't find it when I ran a report that uses this font.
I tried using font subsetting via the uiprint.ali and make a reference but it still doesn't seem to work.
Is there something I'm missing that would cause any of these not to work. I thought maybe some files had to be created under the guicommon/tk/admin/AFM file directory but I'm not sure.
I just want to have my 2 or 3 reports that use this barcode to work. Once I get them, I'm done and all my font issues are resolved. Any help is appreciated.
Chris

They are probably a very old Type 1 font. Try checking the dates on the font files. Your best bet would be to get the OpenType versions of those fonts and install them.

AFTER LOADING THE DATA INTO THE INFOCUBE IT SHOULD NOT DISPLAY IN REPORTING

Hi experts,
I have the data in infocube. When i selected the cube in reporting it should not display i.e; the data should not display in reporting.
thanks nd regards,
venkat

Bit strange requirement. But if you have data in Cube and automatically its will be available for Reporting. unlike ODS, we do not have option of "Automatic request activation".
However on repoeting side, you can restrict the values to # and exclude everything from slection. But not good solution as such.

Report Viewer not displaying on deployment server

Hi,
I am using Visual Studio 2010 with the crystal reports down load to use the viewer. I am using version 13.0.2 with SP1. I have the redistributable package installed on the windows server 2003(32-bit) with .NET Framework 4 where the web app is being deployed. The problem that I am having is that the report view isn't displaying, although it appears that the report itself is being processed. It all works on my development machine which is running windows 7 enterprise(64-bit) with .NET Framework 4. I have been reading through where other people have had problems getting parts of the view to display, like the buttons or charts, but my problem is that the viewer doesn't show up at all. I am not sure why this is happening but I think that it has something to do with the application not know where to look for the viewer dlls or something.
Any help that people can give me would be very much appreciated. Also let me know if I have put this in the wrong spot.
Thank you in advance.
Mark.

See the following articles. I suspect you are using a custom website and thus as you suspect, the CR engine has no idea where to find the viewer. Forget about red x in the articles, just read up on how to configure custom web site. Also, the article does not go as far as CRVS2010, so the directories are a bit different, but the ideas are the same.

Hello,
In SSRS, the issue is occurred when the credential of the datasource is configured with “Prompt for credentials”. Please check if you configured the credential with "Stored Credential" of the datasource. You can refer to the following steps:
Click the black arrow of the report, select Security option.
Click Data Sources in the left pane.
1) If it is a "A custom data source”, please check the item "Credentials stored securely in the report server", and type the valid username and password. If the user is a Windows Account, you need to check item "Use as Windows credentials when connecting
to the data source".
2) If it is a "A shared data source", please remember the path, and then open the data source from the Report Manager. Make sure the credential type is "Credentials stored securely in the report server".

CRVS2010 beta - Date field from database does not display in report

Hi there - can someone please help?!
I am getting a problem where a date field from the database does not display in the report viewer (It displays on my dev machine, but not on the client machines...details given below)
I upgraded to VS 2010
I am using the CRVS2010 Beta
My development machine is Windows 7 - and so is my fellow developer's
We are using Microsoft SQL Server 2000
We run the queries within VS and then we send the data table to VS using .SetDataSource
We have a few reports which display the date on our dev machines (whether we run the EXE or from within Visual Studio)
When we roll out to the client machines (running Windows XP SP3) then everything works, except that the date does not display (on quite a few reports)
This is the only real issue I have had - a show stopper for me
The rest works well - any input will be greatly appreciated

Ridwan

DataGrid does not display XML data

Hello, and thanks for reading this...
I am having a problem displaying XMLList data in a DataGrid.
The data is coming from a Tree control, which is receiving it
from a database using HTTPService.
The data is a list of "Job Orders" from a MySQL database,
being formatted as XML by a PHP page.
If it would be helpful to see the actual XML, a sample is
here:
http://www.anaheimwib.com/_login/get_all_orders_test2.php
All is going well until I get to the DataGrid, which doesn't
display the data, although I know it is there as I can see it in
debug mode. I've checked the dataField property of the appropriate
DataGrid column, and it appears correct.
Following is a summary of the relevant code.
...An HTTPService named "get_all_job_orders" retrieves
records from a MySQL database via PHP...
...Results are formatted as E4X:
HTTPService resultFormat="e4x"
...An XMLListCollection's source property is set to the
returned E4X XML results:
...The "order" node is what is being used as the top-level of
the XML data.
<mx:XMLListCollection id="jobOrdersReviewXMLList"
source="{get_all_job_orders.lastResult.order}"/>
...The "jobOrdersReviewXMLList" collection is assigned to be
the dataProvider property of a Tree list, using the @name syntax to
display the nodes correctly, and a change event function is defined
to add the records to a DataGrid on a separate Component for
viewing the XML records:
<mx:Tree dataProvider="{jobOrdersReviewXMLList}"
labelField="@name"
change="jobPosForm.addTreePositionsToDG(event)"/>
...Here is the relevant "jobPosForm" code (the Job Positions
Form, a separate Component based on a Form) :
...A variable is declared:
[Bindable]
public var positionsArray:XMLList;
...The variable is initialized on CreationComplete event of
the Form:
positionsArray = new XMLList;
...The Tree's change event function is defined within the
"jobPosForm" Component.
...Clicking on a Tree node fires the Change event.
...This passes an event object to the function.
...This event object contains the XML from the selected Tree
node.
...The Tree node's XML data is passed into the positionsArray
XMLList.
...This array is the dataProvider for the DataGrid, as you
will see in the following block.
public function addTreePositionsToDG(event:Event):void{
this.positionsArray = selectedNode.positions.position;
...A datagrid has its dataProvider is bound to
positionsArray.
...(I will only show one column defined here for brevity.)
...This column has its dataField property set to "POS_TITLE",
a field in the returned XML record:
<mx:DataGrid width="100%" variableRowHeight="true"
height="75%" id="dgPositions"
dataProvider="{positionsArray}" editable="false">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn width="25" headerText="Position Title"
dataField="POS_TITLE"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
In debug mode, I can examine the datagrid's dataProvider
property, and see that the correct XML data from the Tree control
is present. However, The datagrid does not display the data in any
of its 6 columns.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks for your time.

Hello again,
I came up with a method of populating the DataGrid from the
selected Item of a Tree Control which displays complex XML data and
XML attributes. After the user clicks on a Tree branch, I call this
function:
public function addTreePositionsToDG(event:Event):void{
//Retrieve all "position" nodes from tree.
//Loop thru each Position.
//Add Position data to the positionsArray Array Collection.
//The DataGrid dataprovider is bound to this array, and will
be updated.
positionsArray = new ArrayCollection();
var selectedNode:Object=event.target.selectedItem;//Contains
entire branch.
for each (var position:XML in
selectedNode.positions.position){
var posArray:Array = new Array();
posArray.PK_POSITIONID = position.@PK_POSITIONID;
posArray.FK_ORDERID = position.@FK_ORDERID;
posArray.POS_TITLE = position.@POS_TITLE;
posArray.NUM_YOUTH = position.@NUM_YOUTH;
posArray.AGE_1617 = position.@AGE_1617;
posArray.AGE_1821 = position.@AGE_1821;
posArray.HOURS_WK = position.@HOURS_WK;
posArray.WAGE_RANGE_FROM = position.@WAGE_RANGE_FROM;
posArray.WAGE_RANGE_TO = position.@WAGE_RANGE_TO;
posArray.JOB_DESCR = position.@JOB_DESCR;
posArray.DES_SKILLS = position.@DES_SKILLS;
positionsArray.addItem(posArray);
So, I just had to manually go through the selected Tree node,
copy each XML attribute into a simple Array, then ADD this Array to
an ArrayCollection being used as the DataProvider for the DataGrid.
It's not elegant, but it works and I don't have to use a Label
Function, which was getting way too complicated. I still think that
Flex should have an easier way of doing this. There probably is an
easier way, but the Flex documentation doesn't provide an easy path
to it.
I want to thank you, Tracy, for the all the help. I checked
out the examples you have at www.cflex.net and they are very
helpful. I bookmarked the site and will be using it as a resource
from now on.

Can not display BI report in Web ui

I created reporting profile with both bi and interactive reporting active and assigned to the business role functional profile
I gave the BI connection client in the report that I wanted. When I select the report in webu ui, it's taking me to a sign on pad. I assume this for BI sign on pad and When i enter sign on, it's not taking me any where.
This just a standard report in CRM My top 5 quotations. All necessary steps in basic bi connection, basic sales analytics are done too
How does the the connection between BI and crm works?
Please advise

Hi Experts,
We are using Webiu 2007 with BI 7.
We linked our sandbox to RWT system to test the report output. In my CRS, I have source system RWT defined and the same way in BI also we have assigned CRS to link these systems together. It is my understanding that when we select the report, we are just calling the from BI into CRM. I have done the following steps in CRM
1) Created reporting profile in CRM analytics as both BI and CRM interactive reporting activated
2) Assigned this reporting profile to business role
3) I selected My-Top-5 quotation report and gave the BI system in display bi reports
4) I can see the report on webui.
Problem: When I selected the report, a logon pad appears and I enter RWT user id and password, it's doing nothing. But, I have another user who is logging in for the first time got an error "Error loading template "OTPLB_OCRM_QUTO_Q0001_1 notification number BRAIN276". When the same new user tried to login second or third time, it's not showing the error and nothing is happening when we enter userid and pass word. But, we can logon to GUI RWT.
We tried to pull a query view report and web template reports see if we can display data. The BI team gave me couple of info objects keys.
1) I created the report with object key and type as one for 3.x template and one for 3.x query view
2) Created logical links for these two reports and selected these two reports in business role. Now the reports are showing in webui
3) When I select any of these, it taking to a blank screen without any logon screen.
BW team says that these reports are running with data in their system.
Can someone please help?

Dunning Letter XML not displaying XML version of Dunning Letter

I have changed the Output Format for "Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate" to XML. When I run the Dunning Letter Generate process, though, the XML output in the Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate does not display the XML of the Dunning Letter. Instead, the following XML is displayed:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

<ARDLP>
<LIST_G_CORRESPONDENCES>
</LIST_G_CORRESPONDENCES>
<R_INTEREST_RATE></R_INTEREST_RATE>
<R_DEFAULT_COUNTRY>NL</R_DEFAULT_COUNTRY>
<C_TRX_NUMBER>APP-00001: Unable to find message: AR_REPORTS_TRX_NUMBER</C_TRX_NUMBER>
<C_PO>APP-00001: Unable to find message: AR_REPORTS_PO</C_PO>
<C_DEBIT>APP-00001: Unable to find message: AR_REPORTS_DEBIT</C_DEBIT>
<R_DEFAULT_COUNTRY_DESC>M-3M-WM-4M-zM-6M-uM-5M-e</R_DEFAULT_COUNTRY_DESC>
</ARDLP>
Is there any specific setup required to generate the appropriate XML for the Dunning Letter?

Kit
It is definitely possible to use XML Publisher for dunning letters. I would suggest your sample run did not select anything for dunning as the XML looks correct otherwise. The problem with this approach is that it is not a single step process to get the letters. You will only ever get XML from the dunning letter print report as there is nowhere in the submission screen to tell it what template to use. Therefore you will need to modify the after report trigger to submit the XML Report Publisher concurrent program to automatically pick up the XML and create the letters.
You might want to look at the standard functionality in collections or advanced collections (not sure about collections but definitely in advanced) as there is some standard functionality in there for Dunning which uses XML Publisher templates. The setup is a bit onerous (not sure what the developers were thinking) but at least you can use XMLP as standard.
Cheers,
Dave

Few values of report column do not display in report while applying filter

Post Author: anuragg11
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
There are 6 drill filters applied on the report to filter out the report column data. Few values of the report are not displaying in the report when using drill filter. Same issue is with report filter too. If filters are removed then values are appearing in the report. We are using version BO XI R2 & Java runtime JRE 1.4v. It doesn't look issue is with Java version because only few specific data of the report column are not shown in the report when using filter on the data. Example: One of Report data column contains below values: 24.2, 26.9, 120.1, 230, 274.9, 275.8, 333.2 Report is displaying all these values when there is no filter on any data. But report doesn't display data when applying filter on 274.9 or 120.1 howver filter on other values 24.2, 26.9, 230, 275.8, 333.2 are working fine.

Hello,
I think i know what your problem is.
Although in table view your 2 requests combine perfectly and show separate results in pivot view BI unfortunaterly adds them up.
One work around would be to go in your criteria add in each request a dummy column. This can be obtained the following way:
1. click on a column to add it in the criteria (it doesnt matter which one)
2. go into the edit formula of that column
3. delete the formula and in its place write 'Dummy Column 1'
Do the same for the second request by adding a "Dummy Column 2'
Now the Pivot Table should also show up correctly
Let me know if it goes well or if you have any further questions,

Webi Page View Not Displaying Page Size Correctly.

Hi Everone,
I have an issue with one report where the page size sttings do not translate when viewed in HTML Page View.
Figure one is the report as seen in the editor - as you can see the page is displayed correctly - A4 Portrait:
And, when the report is viewed in PDF mode - again, no issues:
But when viewed in HTML page view - it blows out the width of the page:
Now this report, as far as I can tell, is set up no differently than 6 others that are designed to be printed as PDF, all of which do not display this behaviour.
We design them to be printed as PDF but present them to the user in HTML Page view in order to allow injected JavaScript’s in the report to be run. This does not happen when you jump directly into PDF mode.
I have checked in design view and I don't have any wayward report elements pushing out the width and the PDF renders correctly which would not happen if there were hidden elements causing issues, it would render a bunch of blank pages.
So, I am at a loss. The page view is correct in edit mode and in PDV view mode but not in HTML page view. Has anyone else had this issue? I can’t work out why this happens only in one report when all the others work properly.
HELP!!!
- Nick

Hi,
I think it may be <div class="html5gallery-viral-0"> (contains the social media buttons) // screencasteu.worldsecuresystems.com/AP/2013-08-01_1033.png
It's the only element that isn't in sync with the other elements on page, when compared to home.html for example.

Design View Not Displaying Pages with any Formatting

I asked this question in another thread and somebody locked it. The question is not answered. My Design view is not displaying my files with any formatting. I can view them in a browser, but not in Design view where I can see my work as I'm working. While I can upload files to the remote server (host provider) the links got screwed up so files on the remote server don't show any formatting either. Every link, thousands of links, are off by one word (folder) from where my site was residing on my hard drive. When I try to make a change to the links manually then I can no longer view them with any formatting in my own browser either.
On my local broswer on my PC the address line reads: http://localhost/folderNameIneedToDelete/filename.php
On the live website (for my homepage) the address line reads http://websiteName.com/folderNameIneedToDelete/index.html
(Here is the text from another thread that was improperly locked)
I just added a remote server to my site so I could begin uploading files to my host provider. When I saved the setup I saw a message popup about the cache changing. Now when I try to view a file in Dreamweaver in Design View it doesn't recognize any of the external style sheets. It displays with no formating.
I can still view the pages in a browser and they look appropriate, just not in Design View where I can continue working on the site as I've been doing.
How do I get Design View to display my pages properly again using the .css pages that apply to each page design?
Thanks,
Robert

Murray, thanks for all your assistance.
Before I edit thousands of links again I want to confirm I've interpreted all your info correctly. If I setup everything as follows all my pages should work in Design View, browsers accessed from the "Preview/Debug in browser" icon in Dreamweaver and most importantly in a live environment at a host provider:

Advanced Settings - Spry - Asset Folder: C:\wamp\www\rootfoldername\SpryAssets\
Site File Structure - place files in the following folders:
C:\wamp\www\rootfoldername
webpages (html & php)
_images - [folder] (there are numerous image folders beginning with _images) containing .jpg and .png files
_includes - [folder] containing attached .php files for the header, navigation and footer attached to every page
_scripts - [folder] containing .js script files
_styles - [folder] containing .css files (external style sheets)
Connections - [folder] contains one php file (databasename.php)
SpryAssets - [folder] containing system generated .js files .css files and .gif files
ZendFramework - [folder] - I have no idea if the files in this folder are necesary and why it was placed here many months ago
** Links **
Remove the leading / from every link in every file
HTML5 shiv
using an external link will always reflect the latest changes(Question) - If I link to this .js file externally at google instead of linking to a current copy in my _script folder could future changes to this external .js file cause future problems with the webpages that have this file attached?
Remote Server
Setup a remote server using the ftp address settings provided by the host provider. (Question) Any settings defined for the future Remote Server (the first remote server was deleted when problems occured) will not cause any harm to anything involving the Testing Server such as viewing webpages in Design View, browsers accessed from the "Preview/Debug in browser" icon in Dreamweaver and will not cause any harm to any files eventually put to the host provider via that future Remote Server. Is that correct?
Murray, thanks again for your help,
Robert
