CF Report Builder Question

Is this even possible? I have a report where I want the user
to be able to select the columns that are displayed. I'll use these
selections as input parameters, but I'm not sure how to place the
column headers on the report. What can I do to only include the
columns the user wants to see?

Another developer on my team sent me a report that worked and
I noticed that I had set the Print Order to horizontal when I was
trying to fix another issue. Changed it back to vertical and it
works fine. Not sure why that should have mattered, but it works.

  • Report Builder Question: Printing PO's from E-Business Suite - POXPRPOL

    I'm hoping there's someone who has the time to help me: We are using Report Builder 9, Oracle 9i, and E-Business Suite 11.5.10.
    I am a new developer using Oracle, and need to make some changes to the seeded (default) POXPRPOL (Purchase Order Print - Landscape) report, using Report Builder.
    I have two problems:
    1. When I print PO Releases from E-Business Suite, and specify I want releases 1 through 2, I get those fine, but the first page is my "Purchase Agreement". The question is: Is there any way (programatically or otherwise) to say "When the "Release" fields are filled out, don't include the Purchase Agreement?
    2. Somehow, after making a few changes to the POXPRPOL report, my quantity has disappeared. Is there any suggestions on how this could happen? I look at the query where they are using "POL.QUANTITY_TO_PRINT" for the working and the non-working reports, and they look identical.
    I'm hoping DESPERATELY that someone can help me - I'm really in a bind...
    Thanks!
    Steve

    Srini,
    Thanks so much for your reply!!!
    1. Ok, but how do I hide a whole page? I noticed the conditional formatting, but I want to "not print" a whole page when this page is a "Purchase Agreement".
    2. I've checked the source - it's coming from POL.QUANTITY_TO_PRINT - POL is a view that is unpopulated. I assume it's populated at run-time. So now I am trying to track down where it's populated, but can't find that in report builder. The quantity is being taken into account, because I put a total at the bottom of the page, and that number matches price * pol.quantity_to_print. Very strange...
    Finally, here's another question, if you don't mind:
    3. When I print a purchase order that is set up as a blanket, as I mentioned before, I get my "Purchase Agreement" first, and then one (or more) pages per release. But the "Page Number" on each is "1" because each is a one-page PO. But my "total pages" is "3", so each page reads "Page 1 of 3". Any idea if there's a way around that?
    Thanks again! Hoping you have some more insight! :)
    Cheers!

  • Report Builder Question - OA AR Aging - and a general question

    I'm sure this is the wrong forum for this question, but I thought there might be someone here who might be using Oracle Applications and Report Builder who'd be kind enough to help me out.
    We've recently implemented Oracle Applications 11.5.10 and I have to use report builder to change the Accounts Receiveable Aging (7 bucket) to a 5 bucket report. I've already made some changes to the seeded "ARXAGMW.rdf" report, but I'm not a big Oracle Reports guy. I've stumbled through making some changes in various other reports. But this one is just plain nasty! :)
    I was thinking that I could simply add buckets 6 & 7 to bucket 5, then just hide or delete the 6 & 7 buckets. But I'm not sure where to even start. Any help with this would GUARANTEE a Christmas or other holiday card this year! :)
    I really want to keep this simple as possible, so any help would be very....helpful. :)
    Oh, my general question is: Are there any resouces/books for Oracle Reports (Report Builder)? I feel so lost trying to modify existing reports, let alone creating new ones.
    Thanks again!
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    I am working on the 7-bucket aging report and i want to add a new field in data model.
    As the query is build dynamically, i have modified the function BUILD_CUSTOMER_SELECT to meet my requirements.
    But the problem is that in the data model, the field is not present in my Grouping. and if I try to add the field in the Data Model query (Q_ Customer) section,
    i get the following error: ORA-01789: query block has incorrect number of result columns.
    The query is as shown below:
    select rpad('a',50,'-') short_cust_name,
    0 cust_id,
    rpad('a',30,'-') cust_no,

  • Report builder question

    Hello,
    I have a report with two groups
    The first group (master) displays the order_id and the second one (detail) the items and the values of each item
    The sql is like this:
    select ord.order_id,
    det.value
    it.description,
    from orders_hd ord, /* master of orders */
    order_det det, /* detail of orders */
    g_items it /* table that contains the items */
    where ……
    (joins)
    The table of items (g_items ) has two columns
    fridge_flag number(1),
    and drug_flag number(1)
    I was asked to do the following:
    When for example the order contains 7 items From which the 2 have fridge_flag = 1
    The other 2 are drugs (have drug_flag = 1)
    The report should display the order_id,
    The 2 items that are drugs, In the next page the 2 items that are fridge, And in the next page the rest
    That is, if the items of an order have fridge_flag = 1 or drug_flag = 1, these items to be displayed on different pages.
    I hope you understand what I mean.
    Is this possible to happen?
    Thank you very much

    You can handle this as below:
    select ord.order_id,
    DECODE(fridge_flag, 1, 100, DECODE(drug_flag, 1, 200, 300)) item_group,
    det.value,
    it.description, .......
    from orders_hd ord, /* master of orders */
    order_det det, /* detail of orders */
    g_items it /* table that contains the items */
    where ……
    (joins)
    Then create three groups ..
    1st : Order Id
    2nd: Item_group
    3rd: rest of the fields.
    Also, on the 2nd group property mention "MAX RECORDS PER PAGE: 1".
    Then you should be good.

  • Report Builder 3.0 Licensing Questions

    I have several questions/clarifications on the licensing and use of Report Builder. Any help you could provide, or other resources I should contact would be much appreciated.
    I've looked through the license that is included when installing "SQL Server Report Builder 3 for SQL Server 2014", but need to make sure what we want to do is kosher.
    Scenario:
    A third party software vendor wants to allow users to create and edit .RDL files within Report Builder. The RDL files will then be saved locally to the users desktop, then uploaded into the third party software product(.NET based, and hosted within the organization's
    environment). The data for the report will be generated based on the settings of the RDL file, then the data and RDL file will be passed to the "Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll", and a PDF/Excel document will be generated. The user will have
    the control to deliver this file anywhere (network share/email/FTP).
    The users using the Report Builder, may be employees of either small/medium size businesses, or as large as Fortune 500 businesses. The Organization employing the users, may or may not have a license of SQL Server.
    Questions:
    1) Does the Organization that owns the third party software, need to own a license of SQL Server? From the License, it appears yes: "If you are licensed to use any one of the following editions of Microsoft SQL Server 2014 software .... you may use this
    supplement"
    2) Following from #1, if the Organization does not have a license, if they were to purchase a SQL Server license, how many users would a license cover? 
    What if they purchase a Standard license?
    What if they purchase a "Deverloper" License?  
    I assume the Developer License is for one person, so would only one user be able to use the Report Builder, based on this clause: "You may use this supplement with each validly licensed copy of the software."
    2) In the license, it says "You may not: use the supplement for commercial software hosting services.". What does that mean? You can't use it commercially? Or with 'hosting services'? What are 'hosting services'?
    3) Can the third party vendor distribute the .MSI file with their software product? Or do the end users need to download it separately, directly from Microsoft?
    4) Any restrictions on where the resulting output (PDF/Excel) may be delivered?
    5) Are there any restrictions at all on using the "Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll", with an RDL file? Restrictions on how much is processed, where the content goes, etc.?
    I think that's about it... Thanks

  • Data links Questions on Reports Builder

    We are currently using Reports Builder 10.1.2.3.0. We are trying to create a topology report. So, we have about 5 queries in the data models which are linked using a query links with Child Destination column in the child query.
    So, here is the example:
    Q1 --> Q2 (joined with Q1 child) --> Q3 (joined with Q2 child) --> Q4 (joined with Q3 child)--> Q5 (joined with Q4 child).
    So, the problem we are experiencing is when Q2 has same child twice, the Q2 query is actually sending the same child id to Q3 twice (or however many times its repeating). Is there any way to distinct the child so we get only one child sent to Q3?
    Here is an example:
    Q1
    Parent Child
    A1 B1
    A2 B2
    A3 B3
    Q2
    Parent Child
    B1 C1
    B1 C2
    B2 C1
    Q3
    Parent Child
    C1 D1
    C1 D1
    C2 D3
    Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Edited by: user613427 on Dec 12, 2011 1:17 PM

    You are on the right track, here is how our structure looks like:
    Query1
    Street, City
    Query 2
    City, State
    Query 3
    State, Country
    And Queries are linked using group links.
    Here is an example:
    Query 1 results:
    Street1 City1
    Street1 City2
    Query 2 results:
    City1 State1
    City1 State2
    City2 State3
    City2 State1
    Query 3 results:
    State1 Country1
    State1 Country1
    State2 Country4
    State3 Country5
    Note: example is not realistic, i know. just wanted to give you picture.
    So, the repeating frame for Query3 gets Stateid from Query2 one by one rather than collect it and distinct it, hence the duplicates. I hope this explains it.

    I'm at a bit of a loss of what to do since all recommended solutions I've found are for installing the latest service pack or cumulative update (from threads several years old).  By installing service pack 3 we are at the latest upgrade path for 2008
    R2 and ironically enough, this is what appears to have broken the click once installer.

    Hi Matt,
    This is an known issue in SSRS 2008 R2 SP3. For this issue, Microsoft has published an article addressing this issue. It is not planning to release a fix for this defect. But there's workarounds for this issue. Please refer to the link below:

  • SSRS Execution Account cannot be used with Report Builder

    Running SQL Server 2012 SP2, I have specified an Execution Account in Reporting Services Configuration Manager as described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156302(v=sql.110).aspx
    The article states: "You can specify Integrated Security=SSPI if the database server supports Windows integrated security and the account used for unattended report processing has permission to read the database." I have created a data source using
    the Report Manager Web interface with connection string: "Data Source=<server>;Initial Catalog=<database>;Integrated Security=SSPI" and "Connect using: Credentials are not required" option.
    The Execution Account is a domain user account with db_owner membership on the database in question. When I "Test Connection" in Report Manager, the connection is created successfully.
    However, when I attempt to create a new dataset using this data source in Report Builder, I am unable to connect to the data source: "You have specified integrated security or credentials in the connection string for the data source, but the data source
    is configured to use a different credential type. To use the values in the connection string, you must configure the unattended report processing account for the report server."
    If I change the "connect using" option for the data source to "Windows integrated security" I can successfully create a new dataset and report in Report Builder. After saving the report, I reconfigure the data source for "Credentials
    are not required" and I am able to successfully run the report using the Execution Account.
    Is this a known limitation? The Report Builder cannot be used with an unattended Execution Account configured?

    Hi desmondgc,
    According to your description, you have set the execution account for connecting data source. You can connect data source successfully, but can't create dataset with the unattended account. Right?
    As we tested in our local environment, we encountered the same issue. Even testing connection successfully in Report Builder, it still says unable connect to data source when creating dataset.
    For this issue,  I would recommend to submit it to the Microsoft Connect at this link
    https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback.
    This connect site will serve as a connecting point between you and Microsoft, and ultimately the large community for you and Microsoft to interact with. Your feedback enables Microsoft to offer the best software and deliver superior services, meanwhile you

  • ApplicationIntent and Report Builder

    I have a SQL Server 2012 AlwaysOn AG setup including the read-only intent for a secondary. I setup a data source to point to the Listener with the data source type of Microsoft SQL Server entry to include ApplicationIntent=ReadOnly. The Test connection was
    successful. When I created a new report and added a dataset using that datasource and asks for data source credentials, I specify use the current windows user. I get the error "Unable to connect to data source" with Details - "Keynword not supported:
    'applicationintent'.
    I see that there was a fix for .NET but that seems to apply to XP and 2008R2.
    What wrong?
    I should also mention that I am using Report Builder 3.0 that I had used for 2008 R2 reports. I see that there seems to be a 2012 Report Builder version (I can't find where the version of Report Builder is indicated?). Is that the problem? Can this version
    be used for 2008 R2 reports - backward compatible?

    I am running the 2012 version of Report Builder 3.0. My build is 11.0.2100.60 (installed several months ago). You can find this by opening the filesystem location where MSReportBuilder.exe resides, right-click MSReportBuilder.exe, choose properties, Select
    Details. The File and Product versions are there.
    I don't have a similar SQL server setup to test against so I can't answer the initial question but it won't hurt to install the latest report builder anyway. Then try it again and see what happens. Good luck.

  • SSRS- report builder showing recent sites and server as blank

    Hi All,
    A client of ours when executes Report builder is not able to see Report models as report builder just gets open but do not create connection to server.
    We have done the following settings for same:
    Used both name and IP of system and added the same to Trusted Sites in IE settings
    Also we have used port number along with URL for report builder.
    We have given all rites to user on reporting services (SQL)
    But it is still not showing report models. 
    Kindly help us.  It is very urgent.
    Thanks in advance
    -Regards
    Kumud 

    Hi Kumud,
    According to your description, your client can't see the created report models in Report Builder. Right?
    In this scenario, the reason why the client can't see the report models because he doen't connect to report server. Please click the
    Connect at the left bottom of Report Builder and type the report server url manually to reconnect the report server. 
    If the connection is failed, please check if there any process on client side which occupies the port for report server URL. Here are two articles for your reference to do troubleshooting.
    Report Builder 3.0 error : Connection Failed. Unable to connect to the server that is specified in the URL
    Connecting to Report Server
    Since the Semantic modeling language (SMDL) report models are deprecated. Although you can you continue to use existing report models as data sources in SQL Server 2012 or later version Reporting Services reports you should consider updating your reports
    to remove their dependency on report models.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • MS Report Builder Data Source Missing

    Hi,
    Simply, when I log onto my server with a local or domain admin and open report Builder, I right click
    on Data Sources and choose add. I choose the one (only one) in the list and test (successfully) the connection.
    However, no other users see the Data source and trying to create one fails. They are local administrators. They have been added as admins in SQL and the DBs. I have rechecked all the permissions and the user has full admin rights to the server, SQL and DBs.

    Hi Analog-Kid,
    According to your description, when users click “Edit in Report Builder” on report server to launch click-once report builder, if users want to add a shared data source, they can’t see the shared data source list which resides on the report server, right?
    In your scenario, please check if those users could access the Data Sources folder on the report server. If not, please grant users permission to access this folder with Content Manager role on Security page. Also please connect to report server instance
    from SSMS, then check if Manage data sources has been selected.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Need help understanding MS SQL Server 2008R2 and Report Builder 3.0 and user access / priviledges.

    Having Problems with connections and access.  I have spent the last 2 days reading various threads regarding SQL Reporting Services pertaining to access and connections.
    First, let me explain what I have done to date.
    1)  I am using Windows 7 - Home Premium.
    2)  I downloaded and installed MS SQL Server 2008 R2 Express.  This was successful.
    3)  I downloaded Report Server 3.0 - This was successful.
    4)  In IE, I tried logging onto http://servername/reports, but this failed.  After logging into IE
    via ' Run Administrator', I was able to access URL.  
           Next, I updated the security / trust sites as explained in the
    threads
    Next, I went to Folder Setting and added my user name and granted all roles (Browser,
    Content Manager, My
    Reports, Publisher and Report Builder).
    5)  Now, I can log into Http://servername/reports using my normal windows 7 user account.
    6)  Next, I opened Report Builder 3.0.  However, I am having trouble connecting to report  
    server.  I tried connecting with
    http://servername/reports, but this failed. 
           However, If I change URL to http://servername/reportserver, it works.  BUT NOW, I have
    another problem.  When I
    execute the RUN button to create report, I get a  permission
    error.  "PERMISSION GRANTED TO USER ARE
    INSUFFICIENT FOR  PERFORMING THIS OPERATION".
    7)  Finally, I can not save reports to http://servername/reportserver when I select "Recent
    Site and Servers".  ERROR
    MESSAGE:  UNABLE TO OPEN OR SAVE REPORT
    8)  In my Reporting Services Configuration Manager:
    Web URL = http://servername:80/ReportServer
    Report Manager URL = http://servername:80/reports.
                What is strange, the Report Manager URL works for IE URL and WEB URL works for
    Report Builder connect (Even though it really does not work). 
    THREE QUESTIONS:
    1)  What URL should I use to connect in Report Builder.  
    2)  How do I update my normal Windows 7 user so I can run reports when I connect to report
    builder.        
    3)  How can I save my reports so they are displayed in IE Reporting services.  Note:  I was
    able to save report to
    documents folder and import into IE Reporting Services.
    4)  And finally, is it possible to add report builder 3.0 as a tab in my IE Reporting Services.  I
    save seen samples of Reporting Services screens where the instructor has Report Builder
    tab.
    Thanks
    Dan

    To answer question 1... it should connect through /ReportServer

    Report Builder 3.0 is not a web application, it is a client side application can be used using the click-once or downloaded from Microsoft's website.  If you are having issues, you might download and install it and try running it as an administrator.

    Hi Pmbt,
    From your description, you cannot start Report Builder using Google Chrome, right? In Reporting Services, you use a Web browser to view reports and run Report Manager. Not all report functionality is supported by all browsers. Google Chrome is not a supported
    browser for SSRS. So we recommend you to start Report Builder using IE. For the detail information about it, please see:
