BW report on portal - different settings than in BEx

Hi gurus,
I would like to ask you if it is possible to have different setting for BW report in portal than in BEx. Is there some content management feature which allows for example to have resultr rows for a characteristic in Portal and to not have result rows displayed in Bex for the same report?
Thank you,
Michal

Hello Michal,
I'm not particularly aware if there's an actual content parameter / feature to achieve what you want (unless, somebody can prove me wrong ofc) - portal side. If you look at the architecture of BW reports in Portal, it remotely access the backend via the query paramater in the iview and to BI-Java (load doesn't happen in ABAP stack anymore but in JAVA) for processing and then displays it on the front-end.
Key point is, if the report's not processed/generated on the portal but in BI-JAVA, then configuring the report to display as you wish via content manager in portal would be a new one that I have yet to encounter.
Just a little backgrounder. Hope another SDN user could answer your point directly.
Goodluck.
Regards,
Jan

Main.cpp uses different settings?

Hi
only two *.cpp in my project. Why is now main.cpp using suddenly different settings than the other cpp?
Many thanks

Maybe you yourself changed a setting, or when created new .cpp file. Please explain more what do you mean.

Printing a copy of a report to a different printer

I want the users to be able to print a copy of a report to a
different printer than their default windows printer (the
printer is on the network).
This goes to the correct printer ok, but the formatting of the
report is ruined, losing all lines and boxes, and changing the
font from arial to character based.
Any ideas?

Hi John,
Generally, if we copy a report and paste it under Report Server Project, the pasted report should be the same as the original one. In your scenario, are you add some expressions on visibility property in the second report? If we conditionally flip the Hidden
property of a textbox or column in the report, data renderers will automatically omit this data from export, even if the expression evaluates to False (False meaning “don’t hide”). This is a by-design behavior.
If you directly remove some columns from the second report, then the issue could be caused by others. To troubleshoot this issue, we can compare those two files with their XML code to find the difference. Just right-click the report name, then select
‘View Code’ to see the XML code. Or recopy the report to test the issue again.
Thanks,

Install KM&C on Different Server than Portal?

We need to install KM&C for an LSO project. It appears that KM&C is normally installed as an add-on to the Portal. Some of people here are concerned that adding KM&C to the Portal will cause performance issues, so they want to install KM on a different server than the Portal.
1. Have you had any performance issues with KM&C installed with the Portal?
2. Can KM&C be installed separately/standalonefrom the Portal (without another Portal install)? It wouldn't appear so from looking through OSS and the Service Marketplace, but I just want to make sure.
Thanks!
Jeff

Hi There,
You can configure the various KM functions associated with Content Management such as Workflow, Reporting, Scheduler Tasks, Content Exchange, and Indexing to only operate on a particular CM system i.e. server node.
Once you have created your nodes, you go into System Administration > System Configuration > Knoweledge Management > Content Management > Global Services, and within each particular function, for instance "scheduled tasks" you get the opportunity to select a specific system. This means that only the CM systems you check are responsible for executing the CM function.
Apologies for jumping between KM and CM, but essentially CM is only one component of KM. The Portal and KM are a unit. To operate KM you must have the Portal installed.

My iPhone 4S keeps making different sounds than I have set up in the settings. How can I fix this?

I recently changed the sounds on my iPhone 4S in the phone's settings. I've done this many times before, but wanted a change. They worked at first, but now all of my notifications pop up with different sounds than I have set up. I've tried restarting the phone, I've tried to change the sounds to something new and then back again. An example is that my tweets on Twitter are set up in my settings to use the "tweet" sound. But no matter what I do, it always using the Tri-tone sound. NONE of my sounds are set up with the Tri-tone so I don't even know where it could be coming from. Does anyone know how I may be able to fix this? My Facebook and text message notifications are giving different sounds as well.

With T-Mobile I can go to the website, log into my account & there find options to send the settings for text, web browsing & email to my phone. I would assume the Tesco phone website (or O2) would have something similar.

When I try to login to the AppStore to update my apps om my iPhone 5s it has a different username than mine. How do I change it. It is correct when I go to settings/itunes

Delete those applications and then download them from the desired Apple ID. This may require repurchasing paid applications.

Timezone from portal user settings not used in DateNavigator

Hi experts
I'm facing a problem with DateNavigator component.
There is a WDJ application that used with different timezones in NW Portal.
In the app there is a DateNavigator which bound to the date context attribute.
When user select some date in DateNavigator, system converts selected date to the context using system default timezone, rather than timezone in portal user settings. This leads to the fact that the time in context is wrong - the system considers that user works in "Default" timezone but really user works in its own timezone, which different with default.
If I force TimeZone.setDefault(WDClientUser.getCurrentUser().getTimeZone()) everything works fine, but this is an empty and wrong way.
I'm using NW 7.2 CE.
Thanks in advice, how to solve this issue!

Running reports in Portal- URL vs RDF

I've got a content area in portal 3.0.8 which contains two items-- a URL link to my report, and an Application Component which is the same report registered in portal as an RDF. The report runs fine with the URL link, but hangs when I try to run the RDF component.
My URL link is defined as follows: http://greap004:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=reportserver+report=reportname.rdf+destype=cache+desformat=htmlcss+userid=username/password@DBname+paramform=yes
However, the registered RDF does not prompt for a DB login or bring up the parameter form. It just hangs for about 5 minutes and then returns the following error:
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time. Oracle Reports CGI - Report Job was cancelled upon user request.
I want to be able to register reports as RDF's rather than using URL links.

hello,
you should take a look at our whitepapers in the Internet Deployment and Security section of our product area http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports
there you find a walkthrough of the configuration for running registered reports in portal.

Unable to run a report through Portal.

Hi All,
I am not able to run a particular BEX report through portal.
I get a white screen and no pop-up for selections and later nothing happens.
I have checked my Roles but no changes has been made.
My other colleagues are able to run the report.
Please let me know what could be the possible reason/solution for such an issue.

are different roles assigned?
i.e., for you and for your colleagues. Please try login with your id in their PCs and vice versa.
let check the compatibility. if you are failed to execute in that PCs also, then it should be authorization issue. Ask your basis folks to add that particular info area and info cubes to your role.
Hope this would give you clear pic.

Running Discoverer reports into portal using SSO portal login - help

Hi,
I am trying to run disco reports into oracle portal using discoverer portlet providers -list of worksheet. What I want to achieve is as follows
1) login to portal using SSO userid /pwd - Done
2) Enable discoverer for SSO - Done
*3) Use discoverer list of worksheets to show reports into portal but want to filter the list of worksheet to currently logged in portal user. This so that users looged in only sees the reports to which they have access in discoverer - Need Help*
*4) Once user runs this report then I want to filter the discoverer data based on users login or portal group - Help*
Can someone please help with issue no 3/4 urgently.
Mant thanks
Ganesh

Hi Michael,
Assuming I have created the private connections using CAPI I still have my doubts as follows
Do I have to then login as each portal user and add the list of worksheet portlet for each user and selecting
"check the box called Display a different list of worksheets by allowing users to customize database connection and then check Show a default list of worksheets using connection, changing the connection to user's connection."
Considering we have 500+ users this will be huge cumbersom task for me.
Also when I tried to do this before loggin as each portal user when I logged in as second portal user I could see the list of worksheet portalet added by the first user which means I have to edit it but even that was not possible because it would not let me edit as only the page own whi created the portlet was allowed to edit (that is the first user)
OR
Do you have to give portal user permission to edit the page so that they can log on themselve to add the list of worksheet portlet on the page by selecting their private connection and selecting
"check the box called Display a different list of worksheets by allowing users to customize database connection and then check Show a default list of worksheets using connection, changing the connection to user's connection."
Finally I know someone has made it work using URL links and it works as follows
1) Map the portal and disco user into a table
2) Create disco private connections
3) when portal user loggs in and click on "Show my discoverer report" it then runs a PL/SQL package which in turn identifies the private connection details and creates a URL out of it as follows
[http://portal.ccm.ac.uk/discoverer/app/partialConnect?password=IRTIMUDV123_=qplus=VDUMITRI=browser_selected=connect=RELATIONAL=QPRIS=viewer]
clicking on this link open discoverer with private list of workbook/worksheet.
Please advise which way should I follow.
Thanks

Deploy Bex reports in portals

Hi,
I need to integrate BI reports in portals.How to deploy Bex reports in portal.Please can u able to help me out in this issue.
Regards,
Laxmi.

Hi Laxmi,
It can be done by two ways using URL of the query and displaying the query, and using the technical name of the query and assigning to different rooms in the portal. Then schedule the query which automatically generate queries similar to process chain loading timely based.
Also check these links:

XSTRING with Binary of PDF - display R3 report in portal

Hello,
We have a requirement to show an R/3 report on portal as PDF. User will then be able to Print/Save the same.
I have browsed through different posts on SDN and
The idea I have is:
1. Print the report to spool (Backend).
2. Convert the spool to pdf (Backend).
3. Create a FM (in the backend) that exports an xstring with the binary of the pdf (of the report)
4. Using webdynpro for Java, create pdf form based on binary xstring.
5. Render the pdf to portal and display it in portal.
I have a couple of questions regarding this approach:
1. What exactly does the function module needs to export (what format and type should be used)?
2. How should the data being sent from the backend be handled in the Webdynpro Code? (What Context attribute should be created and what type should be used?)
Please share your experience if some one had developed a similar application. Any sample code would be really appreciated.
Thanks for Reading the post and for your time.
Regards,
Raj

Hi Raj,
Thanks for the link, i followed the procedure the way it mentioned in the link, but i am getting the below error as nullpointer exception, i checked everything but still i am getting the error.
i can see one thing in webdynpro java code , i am getting warning message for this " wdwebresource"
as deprecaiated, what is this meant?
thanks,

Need Information on "Web Reporting in Portal"

Hi Experts,
I want to gain more knowledge on the reporting side. Is there any reporting strategy that talks about Portal, web reporting and the Business Explorer. What is the best practice for reporting in NW 04's in most corporations? Is there any case studies? If someone can provide me with that info. will be a great help for me. Forum points are guranteed. Thanks
Padma K

Hi Padma,
Most of the Organizations are moving towards web reports due to the following advantages:
1. The web query can be used without the GUI installed on the system. For Bex you need the SAP GUI installed.
2. As per SAP the web queries run faster than the bex query.
3. Bex uses excel which has a limitation of 65,536 rows where as your web query does not have that limitation.
4. The web query can be accessed from any browsing cafe also which is not the case with Bex Query.
Another important point is that you get EP(enterprise portal) by default installed with BI 7.0(ABAP+Java stack). So EP is used for publishing the web reports. The trend and the recommendation from SAP is to use EP for BI web reports. In most of the cases you would have a separate EP consultant apart from a BI consultant. The web report created by the BW consultant is published as an iview by an EP consultant.
BW with EP - Check these docs:

Exposure to the right results in different TRC than normal exposure

Exposure to the right is advocated by most experts to improve tonality and dynamic range. On the Luminous Landscape a photographer noted that ETTR all the way to the right followed by negative exposure correction in ACR produces a different image than is produced by normal exposure, and that he preferred the latter image.
Luminous Landscape Thread
Most responders to this post postulated that, since ACR is operating on linear data, underexposure by 1 EV followed by a 1 EV boost in ACR would produce the same results.
I had some exposures of a Stouffer step wedge. The first was exposed so that step 1 has a pixel value of 250 when converted with ACR at default settings into aRGB. This is exposed to the right as far as possible. A second exposure placed the same step at 221, and this step was brought back to 250 in ACR, which required an exposure compensation of +1.05 EV.
If you compare the resultant images in Photoshop using the difference blending mode, the differences too dark to make out on the screen, but can be detected with the eye dropper. In this image, normal exposure to the right is on top, and the difference between normal exposure and underexposure followed by a boost of 1 EV in ACR is shown on the bottom.
The different resulting tone response curves are better shown by Imatest plots of the two images. As is evident the TRCs are different, contrary to my expectation. Comments are invited.

The ETTR Myth
ETTR is short for expose to the right. Some folks have promoted it as a replacement for traditional exposure metering. The premise is that you can validate camera metering by simply reading the histogram in the cameras preview window.
Unfortunately, it is based on some basic misunderstandings about digital photographic technology. The first misunderstanding is the premise that each bit level in a digitally encoded image represents an exposure stop. The second misunderstanding is the premise that all digital cameras capture light in a perfectly linear fashion. The third misunderstanding is the premise that the histogram represents the raw image data captured by the camera. I will briefly address each of these.
Any correlation between exposure stops and digital bit levels can only be accidental at best. The total exposure range in a scene or an image is correctly known as the dynamic range. The dynamic range of digital cameras is wider than most folks assumes and usually equal to or better than film or paper. It can be defined in terms of tone density, decibels, or exposure stops. It is a function of the optics and sensor electronics in the camera. The few cases where an accurate range is provided by the vendors, it varies from 8 to 12 f/stops.
The image data is converted from analog measurements by the analog/digital (A/D) circuits early in the capture. This can wind up as an 8-bit, 12-bit, 14-bit, or even 16-bit digital value depending on the camera and its user settings. It is simply a number that has been digitized. Any correlation between bits and exposure levels is pure speculation, end of subject.
Second, the digital capture of light is not strictly linear. It is true that the silicon sensor itself will capture light in a very linear fashion. But this ignores reciprocity at the toe and heel of the extremes, the quantum efficiency of the substrate, and most importantly it ignores the optical filters in front of the sensor. If the color filter array were linear it would be impossible to reconstruct colors. And these are not the only optical filters in your camera. Then, the A/D circuits have gain controls based on the current ISO setting. And some A/D circuits perform some pre-processing based on the illuminant color temperature (white balance) and limited noise reduction based on the ISO setting. The point is that there are many steps in the pipeline that can introduce non-linearity.
Finally, the image in the preview window has been color rendered and re-sampled down to a small size. This is the data shown in the histogram. The camera can capture all colors in the spectrum, but the rendered image is limited to the gamut of an RGB color space. So, in addition to exposure clipping the histogram will include gamut clipping. This is also true for the blinking highlight and shadow tools. This might imply an exposure problem when none exists. There is no practical way to map all the data in a raw image into a histogram that you could use effectively in the preview window.
If you capture an image of a gray scale chart that fits within the dynamic range of the camera, at the right exposure, you can create a linear graph of the raw data. But if you underexpose or overexpose this same image, the graph will not be linear and it is unlikely that software will be able to restore true linearity. End of subject.
If you typically shoot JPG format, the histogram will accurately represent the image data. But clipping can still be from either gamut or exposure limits. If you typically shoot RAW format, the cameras histogram is only an approximation of what the final rendered image might look like. There is a significant amount of latitude provided by the RAW image editor. This is probably why you are shooting RAW in the first place.
So, in closing, I am not saying that histograms are bad. They are part of a wonderful toolkit of digital image processing tools. I am saying ETTR is not a replacement for exposure metering. If you understand what the tone and color range of the scene is, you can evaluate the histogram much better. And if you master traditional photographic metering, you will capture it more accurately more often.
I hope this clears up my previous statements on this subject. And I hope it explains why I think ETTR and linear capture are based more on technical theology than on technical fact.
Cheers, Rags :-)

How to export or delivery report for Excel for more than one sheet in OBIEE

Hi Experts,
How to export or delivery report for Excel for more than one sheet in OBIEE 11g? (Every time, I can only see one sheet.)
Is it possibl to implement this requirement?
Thanks.

there are 2 oprions,
One is have your tow report in a single compound layout of analysis and keep the report in dashboard and give report links.
it will cath both your report.
Suppose your analysis are different.
Then you have the option of printing it to a PDF. on ritght top of Dashboard, Print - > Printable PDF.
