Calling up a Performance Manger SPC Chart from a WebI document

Post Author: satwar
CA Forum: Performance Management and Dashboards
Please forgive my terminology, as I'm only a superuser of B.O. not a computer trained person.I have put a few years into configuring WebI document reports in InfoView of B.O. XI 2. Our company is getting into SPC in a big way, hence my attention has turned to Performance Manager. I was disappointed to learn that I have to create a whole new Universe of objects in Performance Manager in order to conduct SPC analysis on the variables I have been reporting in tables & graphs in WebI documents in InfoView.I can learn to accept that aspect of B.O. but I am a little concerned about my users having to navigate through Performance Manager to view SPC analytics. My users have put up considerable resistance just navigating to WebI documents in InfoView.Hope seemed to be around the corner when I read about calling up Performance Manager analytics from WebI documents. Having read the details it seems like these WebI documents are created in the Performance Manager Universe, not in the Infoview WebI documents that I have already developed in InfoView.If anyone can explain and clarify how this feature works, I'd be eternally grateful.

You can Link any documents that are stored as objects in the cmc, regardless of the universe or way in which they were created.openAnalytic.jsp will allow you to open pretty much anything much as does openDocument int the webi world.Once you create the SPC chart in process analysis youll need to view it in the control chart screen then click save as and save it into one of you folders in the corp repository. When this is done you can quickly get an example of the URI syntax by going to create new document in dashboard manger, selecting interactive metric trends, expanding navigation and legend opions, clicking browse, selecting your newly saved analytic and clicking ok. This will but a url into the text box which you can copy and paste into your webi doc links - here's an example of the kind of thing... openAnalytic.jsp?DocumentName=MySPCanalytictest&RepositoryType=C&RepositoryName=SPCTest&DocumentExt=afd&DocumentId=AadTAN28x6lMpTxxlAhW09s&mode=full You may need to stick the odd ../../ or /jsp/ etc in front of the url depecing where you plan to call it from of course. You'll find descriptions of parameters etc for openAnalytic in the product docs. cheers,jez.

You are getting the exception at very first point of Pipeline Service i.e Receiver Determination, do compare the namespace, Sender Interface Name & Sender Service name with the payload you are sending from web-application, they must be exactly same.
The best way to get the test payload is suggested in above reply.

IImporting formated chart from the Word document...

Is there anyways I can cut and paste without losing the text style or format from the Word Document to a CS3 InDesign file?
TIA

Thanks Rob.
But I don't want to import the entire 35 pg. Word document.
There are a few embeded chart art within it that I would like to import without losing its original formating.
Any idea?

Extracting SQL statement from a Webi document's data provider using SDK.

Hi all,
Is it possible to extract the SQL statement from an existing Webi document's data provider using BO SDK? I've searched through the class library but haven't found any information on this yet. If you have done it, could you provide some guidance. Many thanks.

I found the following Java code that might be of some help to you. I realize you are using .NET but this might push you down the right path.
The trick here is to use the Report Engine SDK to get the DataProvider of the DocumentInstance. Then, look at the SQLDataProvider to get your SQLContainer.
My apologies for the poor formatting. This didn't copy and paste over to the forums very well. I've cleaned up as much as I could.

I get error message when I try to open PDF's that I have downloaded from the web- document cannot be opened it is either not a supported file type or the file has been damaged. Need help

Is this how I start my new thread?

Thanks.
"Can you right-click, save the pdf file to your desktop (or wherever) then open it using File>Open in Reader?" I tried and was not successful.
I do not know ow to access the PDF viewer of Safari, and BTW the problem may lie in the fact that i have not upgraded from 10.8.5.
And I do not know where the "open with" box might be or if it is a global or app-attached box.

SPC Charts and Analysis

Hi....
Do any of the BusinesssObjects applications support the generation of statistical process control (SPC) charts like x-bar charts and histograms? Which one....
I need a software application that can pull data out of a MS SQL 2005 database and Oracle database and present SPC charts via a web browser. It'll need to be able to calculate and display standard deviation, control limits, specification limits, and process calability stats like Cpk.
I've found some references to what I need in reference to 'BusinessObjects Process Analysis' and 'BusinessObjects Dashboard builder', but nothing that really communicates which product or products can do it.
Thanks for any pointers.
John

You have to log into SAP to see the charts , cp,cpk values etc. I am not aware of any options to publish these charts on web, I never got a chance to do that.
But with my experience, the SPC options in standard SAP (ECC or R/3) are very limited not like third party applications like infinity qs etc. The SPC chart options like any other sap r/3, go to the related transaction code and pull up the charts on various selection criteria. Configurable graphical options are available and SAP supports various kinds of charts.
The other option (I have doen it in multiple places) is utilize sap to gather/collects data points, inerface third party statistical packages like statistica to sap r/3 . downlaod the data from sap and do the analysis.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Ram

Calling a Report from a Web Form

Hi,
I am calling a Report developed in report 6i from a Web form 6i
Button. I am unable to launch the Report if Report is using a
Customized Template. The report is able to launch if it has no
template or using the templates given in report wizard. Is there
any setting required in the Report Server for reading the
template file???

Hello,
According to the way the reports is launched, the format of the reports output depends on the
variables : FORMS60_REPFORMAT (for Forms 6.0 and 6i)
Two others variables are used : FORMS60_OUTPUT and FORMS60_MAPPING.
Can you check the variable FORMS60_REPFORMAT ?
regards Dennis:
Thanks for the info. Your suggestion of changing the windows registry setting FORMS60_REPFORMAT to 'PDF' worked! I did not have to make any other changes to the form. I left the run_product format as is in the form and it worked like a charm. When we eventually migrate to Oracle Reports/Forms 9i we will look into using run_report_object. But for now we will stick with Oracle Forms6i. There was no need to alter the other registry settings FORMS60_MAPPING and FORMS60_OUTPUT since I followed the instructions of setting the virtual directories (symbolic links) when I installed the forms and reports services.
Thanks again for your help!

How can I copy a table from a web file and paste it into a word document on a pc?

I am having diffculty getting a pdf file from a web document pasted into my word document. I do no get the option to copy or save as a table. I can copy and paste the text but I lose the table and the format and just get the text. Anybody know what I can do to solve this?

Try holding down the alt key as you mark the text to be copied. You can then copy columns to table text.

I'm composing an e-mail, and I copy/paste from a web page.

Let's suppose I copy / paste from a web document. For the sake of argument I'm using Mail. A black box appears around the pasted part (with a "X" in the corner).
But, if I do a second paste, the new text is always inside the old box, therefore screwing up the indent.
I can't get the curser to start outside the box. How can I get rid of the box while composing?
Yes, the box disappears when I click outside it, but re-appears if I go for a new line below it.
Here's an example of how it looks.
#1. The fox.
The quick brown fox jumped over the i-mac.
#2. I'm frustrated that I can't paste or type where the first line started, indent wise.
Once the curser is after the word i-mac, and I try to move it down, the next line always goes to the indent of "The" and not #1.

I take you are trying to write an email within Safari, try this open Safari and click on the Safari menu and select reset Safari.

SPC charts for time-based data?

I'll try to be succinct in explaining what I'm trying to achieve.
We run batch processes, and at various points in the process we take samples and test them. The sample results should be increasing exponentially over the course of the batch. I have data from a lot of batches in x/y format - x is the duration of the batch and y is the sample result. It makes a very noisy but clearly exponentially increasing data set.
What I want is to calculate some control limits that will obviously have to be increasing over time as well. I want to be able to say that, for a current batch, a sample at X time does or does not fall within the expected historical range.
Is this even possible with xMII, either in the logic editor or the iSPC charts?
I'd like to make the same sort of chart for other time-based samples that have more complex trends over the duration of a batch, not simply exponential or linear.

Hi, Carrie.
Your application doesn't really sound like what I would call an "SPC" chart, but rather, more of a so-called "golden batch" chart. This type of visualization is used when a production activity should have an expected set of value(s) and/or a shape to a curve. You would then "overlay" actual values onto this curve to track actual vs. expected and perhaps to highlight deviations.
This can best be done by combining a multiple queries using BLS (one or more queries for the "limits" and expected values, one query for the actual values), and combining/merging them so that the charting engine (either a line/marker chart or an XY plot) sees them as coming from a single source.
With some creativity, you can even have the "outlier" points displayed in another color. The xMII application team can help you with setting this up - Jeremy may still have a chart template/transaction I put together a while back called "LimitChart", which could be used for your application.

Calling a delegate on the UI thread from a work thread inside a child class.

Hi All,
I've run into a snag developing a WPF multithreaded app where I need to call a method on the UI thread from my work thread, where the work thread is running a different class.
Currently I am trying to use a delegate and an event in the 2nd class to call a method in the 1st class on the UI thread. This so far is not working as because the 2nd class is running in its own thread, it causes a runtime error when attempting to call
the event.
I've seen lots of solutions referring to using the dispatcher to solve this by invoking the code, however my work thread is running a different class than my UI thread, so it seems the dispatcher is not available?
Below is as simplified an example as I can make of what I am trying to achieve. Currently the below code results in a "The calling thread cannot access this object because a different thread owns it." exception at runtime.
The XAML side of this just produces a button connected to startThread2_Click() and a label which is then intended to be updated by the 2nd thread calling the updateLabelThreaded() function in the first thread when the button is clicked.

threadUpdateLabel.Content = "Thread 1";
private void startThread2_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
thread2Class _Thread2 = new thread2Class();
_Thread2.runInParentEvent += new runInParent(updateLabelThreaded);
Thread thread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(_Thread2.threadedTestFunction));
thread.Start();
public void updateLabelThreaded()
threadUpdateLabel.Content = "Thread 2 called me!";
public class thread2Class
public event runInParent runInParentEvent;
public void threadedTestFunction()
if (runInParentEvent != null)
runInParentEvent();
I'm unfortunately not very experienced with c# so I may well be going the complete wrong way about what I'm trying to do. In the larger application I am writing, fundamentally I just need to be able to call a codeblock in the UI thread when I'm in a different
class on another thread (I am updating many different items on the UI thread when the work thread has performed certain steps, so ideally I want to keep as much UI code as possible out of the work thread. The work threads logic is also rather complicated as
I am working with both a webAPI and a MySQL server, so keeping it all in its own class would be ideal)
If a more thorough explanation of what I am trying to achieve would help please let me know.
Any help with either solving the above problem, or suggestions for alternative ways I could get the class in the UI thread to do something when prompted by the 2nd class in the 2nd thread would be appreciated.
Thanks :)

If I follow the explanation, I think you can use MVVM Light messenger.
You can install it using NuGet.
Search on mvvm light libraries only.
You right click solution in solution explorer and choose manage nugget...
So long as you're not accessing ui stuff on these other threads.
using GalaSoft.MvvmLight.Messaging;
namespace wpf_Tester
/// <summary>
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
/// </summary>
public partial class MainWindow : Window
public MainWindow()
InitializeComponent();
Messenger.Default.Register<String>(this, (action) => ReceiveString(action));
private void ReceiveString(string msg)
MessageBox.Show(msg);
Dispatcher.BeginInvoke((Action)delegate()
tb.Text = msg;
private void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
Task.Factory.StartNew(() => {
Messenger.Default.Send<String>("Hello World");
What the above does is start up a new thread - that startnew does that.
It sends of message of type string which the main window has subscribed to....it gets that and puts up a message box.
The message is sent from the window to the window in that but this will work across any classes in a solution.
Note that the receive acts on whichever thread the message is sent from.
I would usually be altering properties of a viewmodel with such code which have no thread affinity.
If you're then going to directly access properties of ui elements then you need to use Dispatcher.BeginInvoke to get back to the UI thread.
I do that with an anonymous action in that bit of code but you can call a method or whatever instead if your logic is more complicated or you need it to be re-usable.

When copying a Pie Chart from one Excel tab to a new Excel tab, the chart data is still referring to the original table

Hi,
In Excel 2007, I have a pie chart on sheet 1. I want to make a copy of the pie chart from sheet 1 and past into sheet 2, and change the table data in sheet 2 to get new chart recalculated based on new table values in sheet 2.
However, the chart in sheet 2 is still pointing to the table data in sheet 1.
All the cells in sheet 1 have relative cells.
Please advise.
Thanks - Bijan

Hello Wind,
As teylyn suggested:
"An Excel chart is hard-wired to its data source. You can copy and paste a chart to a different sheet and it will still refer to the initial source data."
So I did create the template and used in my 2nd tab which worked perfectly. However, I had an issue with merged cells which I am using for my data, and tylyn suggested that I provide the excel file that I am working with, and I did.
So now I need help as how to make merged cells work when I try to create a pie chart from template based on new data (which reside in mergerd cells).
P.S. I cannot resize my cells to make the data and labels fit into one call, so I have to have merged cells.
Thanks
Bijan
