BW reporting to extranet user (internet)

Hi guys,
Part of the requirements for a new project is to expose some reports to the external customer via enterprise portal. Currently this reports reside on the SAP BW system, this reports are dynamic reports where the user can filters information, sort and other different options. Our concern is how to expose those BW reports to the Internet (extranet) through the SAP portal without compromising our SAP BW system. We are looking for a best practice document or something that shows which is the correct architecture and security technology on these cases.
Thanks to everybody,
Zareh

Report on a user.

I don't know if this is the correct place for this.
This is a report on the user [Mod Edit: Edited post to comply with the Skype Community Guidelines and Skype Etiquette]
I do not know this person. I have never seen this person on the internet or in real life. I believe they are trying to mislead me. It seems to me that they are trying to make me open a link that I do not recognise. They are trying to make me make an account and 'talk' to them. It seems like they are trying to steal my detals or making me download something. Any such thing as 'free passes' from a stranger? I don't think so. Can something happen to stop this person or investigate them please?
I was trying to get a little more information out of them. I never clicked the link so I do not know what is beyond it. I am a little worried to click it.
I have blocked this person. I do not want any others to be caught out by a scammer like this.
Thanks ~Ronan

Redirect external user (internet) & internal user (intranet)

Hi, we are developing a public portal services in which we have two kind of user: a) public user that access through internet to the portal. b) internal user that access inside a domain to the portal.
We want to know How we can know which is the external and which is the internal in order to assign a portal desktop.
I have seen in the forms the following options:
1.-> IISPROXY
2.-> SPNEGO
3.-> APACHE & SAPDISPATCHER
1.-> It seems that we the last release of the portal is obsolete
2.-> It seems that SPNEGO is for internal use only (intranet).
3.-> I have not documentation about.
I would be very grateful if someone give a solution and documentation or links about it.
Thanks in advanced.
Regards.

Hi Optima,
You can use a appIntegrator to distinguish intranet/ extranet users..
Have a look at "HowToUseAppIntegrator_en.pdf" from service market place.

Scheduling of Crystal report or allowing user to refresh

I am the only person in my organization that has Crystal Reports. Normally I just develop and run the reports for my users. I have a report I have developed that one of my users needs to be able to refresh and update the parameters. I am trying to come up with the simplest, least expensive way to make this possible. It is my understanding that Crystal Reports Viewer will only let him look at the report, not refresh it, unless I have Crystal Reports server. I saw some other products on the Internet that say they would provide the capability I need, but are pretty expensive. The only other option I can think of is getting his own copy of Crystal, save my report definition onto a folder on our server, and just let him run it with his own desktop copy of Crystal. Anyone have any better ideas? Thanks.

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Business Objects Forum or if you have a valid support contract create a case on line.
You can set the option for the users not to be able to hit the refresh button or export to any format will also not give them the option to refresh

How to email report to the users

Hi,
I have a few reports in 6i. I can preview them but cannot mail them to the users. When I click on the mail icon, it gives me this error :
REP-4203: Error occurred while sending a mail message.
Second option I did was to directly create a pdf report but this doesnt work either. I gave the desformat as pdf, desname as c:\myreport.pdf, mode as default, destype as File and printjobs No.
I ran the report and it did something. But now when I search in my C:\ I cannot find the pdf report there. I also did a search but cannot find it anywhere.
Please let me know how to develop a pdf report or how to email a preview report to the users. I need to send the report to my users but both the options dont work.
Thanks in advance.

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

How to Generate a Report Based on User's Parameters from Web Site

Hi, all,
I am trying to use Oracle Developer 6.0 Report Builder to generate report based on what user types in from the web site. Since I am a novice, I am wondering if anybody would help me with the following questions:
1. How can I create a report based on user's parameters?
Assuming that I have 2 text fields EMPNO and DEPT on the web site, after user types in some value, how can I pass these parameters into my query, can I do something like:
select ENAME, JOB, EADDRESS from EMP
where EMPNO =
some_reference_of_parameters_from_user
or is there any other way to achieve this functionality?
2. How can I pass a PDF format report back to user after the report is generated?
Any help is greately appreciated!!
Best regards.
Judy

Hello,
In the Report Builder, create two user parameters, and set the parameter name, datatype, width, and default values to what you want. Modify the query and put in a where clause (e.g., where deptno = :p_deptno). When you request the report with PARAMFORM=YES on the URL, it'll generate a default parameter form in HTML and allow the user to enter in the selected parameter values. Also set DESTYPE=CACHE&DESFORMAT=PDF on the URL to get the output back as PDF.
If you upgrade to Reports 6i, you can customize the default HTML parameter form.

Generate a Report Dynamically without User Intervention and Output to XML

Here's the scenario for which I am trying to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have a series of reports that the users generate from a UI by selecting the report, setting the values for a list of parameters, and then click a submit button. The report is generated in the UI for them to view. They can print it from here or export it to Excel.
They would like to be able to schedule a report to run daily without user intervention using a saved set of parameters. The system would run the report automatically and email it to a defined set of email addresses.
To do this, we need to have the report generated in a string or xml so a Java process can read it and email it.
I see that I can change a report's template to export:xml so I feel that it is possible. How can I export a report to XML without user intervention? Can the report template be changd dynamically at runtime? Ideally, I need some way to call this same report and have it output as a string data or xml to be used by a Java process that would store and generate the report for email.

Hi Kumar,
From Program1 you are calling Program2, using submit syntax (inside Program1).
While using submit, if you have correctly filled up the selection screen of program2, then it will AUTOMATICALLY get executed, WITHOUT F8.
If there is any compulsary field in program 2, which does not get populated, then it will not run automatically, or unless some special code is written in program2.
If you do not want the output of Program2 on screen, then u can use
SUBMIT Program2 AND RETURN.
In that case, no selection screen (of program2) will appear and neither the output of program 2.
Regards,
Amit Mittal.

How can I hide the dimention in report if a user have no privilige to acces

Hi:
This is a "column level security" issue, it maybe a simple option but I didn't figure it out.
Say I have two dimentions in a report, D1 and D2, and both user A and B can see this report. However, user B have no privilege to see D2, since in presentation level, I made this dimention not accessible to user B.
In BIEE 10, I just need to modity NQSconfig.ini and make "PROJECT_INACCESSIBLE_COLUMN_AS_NULL = YES". In BIEE 11, this value is YES by default.
Now the problem is, in 10, when user B visit this report, he can only see ONE column. But in 11g, he can see both D1 and D2 in the report, although values in D2 is empty. I wonder if there is an option to hide D2 in the report? This should be possible becausee 10 already did that.
Thanks for your help.
Larry

There was earlier a thread on column level secuirty in 11g. PFB the link. See if it helps.
Column level security does not seem to work in OBIEE11g
Also, in 10g for column level security we had used choose statement. Am not sure if same can be used in 11g. PFB link for getting information on choose statement.

How to Block Account member in input reporting for some users?

Hi experts, i need to know if is possible to block input of values for some Users in the Account Dimension so that some users can input value in the report but other user cant do it.
I try to do this from "member access profile" but this option only allow you to define access right for one specifict parent o member.
I mean, is posible to asigned to Account Dimension a Propertie type "OWNER" like ENTITY?
For example: one user must to input value for the Account member "CASH", but other user dont, however i have to show the same input reporting for both users.
I hope understand the question, im sorry about my english
thank you in advance
Ignacio Vazquez

I would think you could do one of the following:
Either set account as a secured dimension. You would then define security profiles for all account groups and assign those to your users / teams as appropriate. Would take a while to setup initially, but if your users don't change that much it shouldn't be too difficult to manage once it's done.
Setup different input templates that only showed the accounts you wanted each group of users to see. Put the templates in different site folders and assign access to those sites as required. users would then only have access to open the template applicable to them. Would require that you basically make duplicate copies or your current template, modify and save to different site folders which could become a pain if the template requires changes (since you would now have to make the same change multiple times).
Setup a macro in the current template so that you need to enter a password to unlock the send commands for the respective accounts. I don't know if it can be setup to support multiple passwords - assuming it can, password 1 would unlock all accounts, password 2 would only unlock CASH accounts, password 3 would only unlock LIABILITY accounts, etc. You then distribute the passwords to the users as appropriate.
Hope that helps.

What is best practice in FR ? Original Report access to Users or Snapshot

Hi,
can any one pls. let me know on what is the best practice in FR ? I need to give access to original reports to my users or the snapshot access only ? Users are not happy with snapshot access mainly during the closing time. What are the complications if i give access to original reports ? I'm using Batch scheduler, but users are unable to see the data some times. What will be the reason for this ?
Thanks,
PVR

Hi,
There are certainly many variables to have a look at. Server sizes is one concern, report size is another. Giving access to original reports is fine as long as concurrency and heavy usage don't take the servers down. That said, the reports that will be given access to their originals shouldn't run for 10 minutes for each query. Having 10 user connected to such reports will probably take reporting services down which makes the entire system useless. These types of reports should better be scheduled and shown as snapshots. However, some of these reports might have time-dependent information which needs to be refreshed at query time. In this case you could either give the access to original reports or schedule the reports to run say every 2 hours.
Cheers,
Alp

Report links by user group

hi, is it possible to set the "report links" per user group
for example, the report links are Download, Refresh for user group Sales.
the report links are Download, Refresh and Modify for user group Sales Admin.
Just wanna know whether this can be done.
thanks!

If "Sales" doesn't have the Answers privilege, then the "Modfiy" link won't be rendered even if specified for the request. So you can just keep it in and all users having access to Answers will see it. Read-only users (i.e. no Answers) won't.
Cheers,
