Controlling Report Writing - GRR1 and GRR2

Dear Expert,
I am using GRR1 to write report for cost center accounting. The report works fine but now my client want the in columns when user select period then it should displayed as "JAN" & etc.
Example:
Actual &1PERIK &1GJAHLJ then value is displayed in the report as "Actual 01 2012" but client want "Actual JAN 2012"
If any clue or proposal then please let me know
Thanks in Advance,
Prashant Rane

Hi,
It is not possible with the standard set of date formats in SAP. you have to write a conversion logic for that.
You can change the date format in SU01 for that user.

SQL as Report Writing tool

Hi,
I am using Oracle 11.2.0.1 on windows xp. After google for report writing tool, i think if i am able to get the output by either SQL or PL/SQL; then i think i need not to learn those new report writing tools; i will continue read Oracle PL/SQL and/or SQL. Here it is my required output :
=======================================================================================================================================================================

Wrapable Means If product name / Address2 are bigger than 30 characters, then they should be wrapped to next line.If you says me to provide create table and couple of insert statements, i will provide, i am just mentioning the tablename.column name for what i wish to get from SQL, rather than learning the report writing tool and this will at the later stage will definitely a best option in view of 3rd party report writing tool.
Kindly help me, how do i get above output (if you need create table and/or insert statements) please.
Thanks.

    6 2146         in the report
    7 2146 2145725 Silver CoatingNotice the d_num column at the beginning. It starts with 1 for each eno, and numbers each line in order. You can use the analytic ROW_NUMBER fucntion to produce this column. You won't need to display d_num in the final output, but you will need it for the next step in the solution, which is:
Do something similar for the addresses. Since you have Oracle 11, you can use the SELECT ... UNPIVOT feature to get all the address lines into one column, then use the wrap function to break down the long lines, and number them. Again, use ROW_NUMBER to produce d_num. (You might consider permanently storing the addresses in the unpivoted form, with just one address line per row. Since this will create a one-to-many relationship between customers and addresses, you'll need a separte table for the addresses.)
Finally, do a full outer join to combine the result sets of the two steps above, using the customer id and d_num to match rows. This is an example of a Prix Fixe Query . The page I refereneced earlier has a more detailed description and example.

Source Control 3.1 : History and change reports

Robo Source Control 3.1 : History and change reports are allways empty. I only see titles on the file report.htm (using IE9 or Google Chrome).

What I was saying in your other post was not necessarily that it will work differently on a 64 bit machine, simply that there were known issues with a 64 bit machine that are referenced in
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2011/12/robohelp-9-0-2-is-now-available.html
It may be the fix referred to there is simply to make it work the same way as on a 32 bit machine and clearly that is giving you grief. Only way way to find out.

Copy Control between Sales Orders and Deliveries

Hi Gurus,
please can you tell me why copy control between Sales Order and Delivery doesn't work?
At header level, into copy control, we can set 2 requirement routines, one as general requirement for copying (TVCPL-AUBED) and the other one as requirement for grouping orders into deliveries (TVCPL-AUZUS).
At header level we can also set a routine for data transfer to define how data are passed from Sales Order header to Delivery header (TVCPL-GRUAK).
Then we can set routines at item level, one as requirement (TVCPL-AUBED) and one as data transfer (TVCPL-GRUAP).
When delivery is created with VL10A transaction, at header level only the first general requirement routine is used (FV50B***). Grouping requirement is not used (we also set a break point and the program is not passing into this routine).
Then it is used the requirement routine at item level (FV50B***).
Please can you tel me how we camake working the routine for grouping requirement at header level?
Thank you very much.
Kind Regards
Andrea

Hi, we used standard routine even if to be sure we run also the generation report you mentioned.
Please any other suggestions?
Thank you very much.
Kind Regards
Andrea

Interactive Report Column Headings and Row Height

I am using the div style="width:350px;" method to control the width of columns in various interactive reports. That works fine except for the following:
1. When creating filters, the <div...> stuff shows up along with the actual column heading, thus confusing some end users
2. Even when I uncheck the "Use same text for single row view" checkbox and then provide a simple single row view label, the <div> stuff still shows up on the single row view
Does anyone have a better solution?
Also, does anyone know of a way to limit the row height within an interactive report row? I have some columns of data that contain a large amount of HTML data and I'd like to be able to limit the number of rows that show on the report.
Is Oracle planning to provide some better control over the Interactive Report columns in another version? The Interactive Report is such a huge improvement in usability in APEX - it would be great to take it to another level by providing some better control over column width and row height.

Dale,
Unfortunately we don't have much we can use to do what you would like. I would have said it's impossible until version 4 but you could actually do something similar to what Roel has done. His trick is in the edit button. He changed the edit button to use an "onload" call to a JavaScript process. You could do the same but call a process that goes across the rows and styles each column. Now because you don't have a way to identify the column (can't use the order because the end user could change it) you'll have to write the code to look at the top row first and then style the appropriate column. As far as I can tell, this would be quite difficult and inefficient. Having said that if you need it that bad and would like some help with it, put up an example application on apex.oracle.com and provide the workspace/username/password and I'll take a look.

How to control report direction at runtime

Hi All
I want to control report direction(Left_To_Right or Right_To_Left) at runtime.
to make every thing is clear I want to call the report from Form passing parameter ,according the parameter the direction should be directed

Yes, it work and I was know it, for this reason I emphasis that I created control at "DESIGN time", I want to change the direction of controls that created at design time not creating at runtime with var tf:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
To reproduce the problem create TLFText on your scene with text tool and name it "MyText" then
var tf:TLFTextField = MyText; // instead new TLFTextField();
..rest of your code
now you will see that nothing will be change! I struggled many hours but still no success.
Do you have any idea in this case?

Report painter libaries and report group

Hi,
I would like to seek advice on the relationship of libaries and report group.
1
in GRR2 navigation, i can see libary and report but i do not see report group in the navigation structure. So I would like to know what is the purpose of report group?
2
From the help it says "A report group is a group of reports and parallel reports from the same library which need to be processed together in one run."
So my question is, since the report already grouped in a single library, why still need to defined report group?
3
Normally we just run by report that we interested in. So what does it mean "A report group is a group of reports and parallel reports from the same library which need to be processed together in one run".
4
Possible to have different report group in a library?
Example library ZA1 has 2 report group ZG1 and ZG2. If can, what is the implication to have more than 1 report group.
Thanks

hi
report group is used to identify the reports belongs to which functional part.
example
FI Standard Report
CO Standard Report etc..,

Report Viewer 2012 and IE11 Height

I have a reportviewer control (local report) in a .ASPX page. When I test this page on IE11 the browser is ignoring the height that I give the control. I'm not trying to make the height of the report 100% or anything, I'm setting it to a
static value of 500px.
In all other browsers, including IE10, it works as expected (the report is 500px in height and I see a scollbar on the right). In IE11, it's as if I didn't set the height at all.
I've placed this report into a blank .ASPX page (to eliminate the possibility of some conflicting CSS from my master page). I've tried changing the values for AsynchRendering and SizeToReportContent as suggested but it does not help. I'm running
the latest version of the reportviewer distributable. Has anyone else had this issue?
FYI, If I use the IE Developer tools I can find a deeply nested DIV (inside of the DIV that has my 500px height) whose height is set to 100%. If I change that manually (using the dev tools) it makes the report behave as expected. I
could override the height of that div using CSS but the div's name (generated by the reportviewer control) is generated dynamically and this solution would fail eventually.
UPDATE
Viewing the page in Compatibility View fixes the height issue, but is not a viable solution for the site in which the control needs to reside.

Hello, do you have find a fix because I've the same problem for my users
We had upgrated from IE9 to IE11 and we are problems with scroll.....

Reports from Java and Oracle database

Hi
I need to generate couple of reports from my application, with Java as front end and oracle 11.2.0.3.0. database . Reports are having very simple select statements, using the criteria users enter from GUI. we don't need to execute a direct select statement from Java, with the where clauses . I did some research and found out about Pipelined functions. I tested for a small set of records and it worked fine. Will this work for large data set? any drawbacks of using this method? Any other methods for this requirement?
Thanks in advance
JP

Pipeline table functions do not sound like the appropriate approach. It is designed to primarily deal with data transformations. Using it as a rendering engine for report writing? There are fundamental problems with such an approach.
As Dave and Andre commented - the CORRECT means for PL/SQL to pass "data" to Java (or other client languages) is via reference cursors (pointers that the client can use for referencing SQL cursor programs on the server). And Java as a report writer does not really compare with the ease and flexibility that Oracle Apex (Application Express) provides as a reporting framework.

Crystal Reports 8.5 and Pervasive SQL 8

Post Author: manza
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi.
I have configured a report in CR 8.5 Prof with the direct access to Data Files for Pervasive 8.
If I execute the report, everything works fine.
If I try Verify Database, CR tells me: "Choose Database File". Then I select the .ddf (FILE.DDF) and the answer is:
Betrieve [4]: key value not foundPlease give location of Info View or dictionary used to create this report
I have tested that the necesary dll's are loaded: p2bbtrv.dll, p2ctbtrv.dll, s2dtconv.dll, wbtrv32.dll, sbtrvd32.dll
The problem is that I have created a VB .NET program that execute a Report with parameters and export it to pdf format, and it gives me the following error:
"Excepción no controlada: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.DataSourceException: No es posible cargar la información de la base de datos."
... I think the translation will be:
"Not controlled exceptiom: CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.DataSourceException: It is not possible to load the information from the data base."
I supose that if I solve the problem with "Verify Database" I will correct the problem with the program.
Thanks in advance.

There is a document for Crystal Reports in Citrix environment written for exporting error, but I think it could be applicable for your situation.
I quote it here:
"... errors occur because Citrix Server and Terminal Server use the User Path Variable rather than the System Path Variable for clients.
Solution:
This solution has been written for Crystal Reports 8.5. The directory path to the Crystal folder may be different in other versions. For example, in Crystal Reports 9, copy files from c:\program files\Common Files\Crystal Decisions\2.0\bin to winnt\crystal.
By default, the Crystal Reports export drivers (DLLs) are installed to the %systemroot%\Crystal directory (generally C:\Winnt\Crystal), which is not included in the User Path Variable. Each user will have a specific User Path Variable making it difficult to update each one.
Steps to Resolve:
Therefore, to resolve these issues, copy files from the Crystal directory to the Citrix Serveru2019s or Terminal Serveru2019s System directory.
1. Copy the files from the following directory:
%systemroot%\Crystal
CAUTION
Do not delete the %systemroot\Crystal directory. Other Business Objects products may require this directory.
2. Paste the files to the System directory. For example, in Terminal Server, the System directory is generally:
Winnt\System32
NOTE
Verify the correct directory location in your environment.
With the DLLs in the System directory, the User Path Variable will be able to locate them. The error messages should be resolved and exporting should be successful."

Report Writing Project - steps to take

Post Author: sammymark
CA Forum: General
This is a general question on doing a report writing project.
When I begin the project, is it better to gather the user requirements first or to learn the data structures first ? I am on my first Crystal project and am not sure which step should come first.
Thank You

Hi,
Good question... I have found that getting the user requirements first most helpful and then it gives me a starting point for learning about the data. Otherwise you may spend time learning about/looking at data that you will never use for a report.
Hope this helps,
Heather

Report Writing

Hello,
Can anyone tell me what is the meaning of Report Writing in BW3.5??
Thanks in advance

Reporting helps you to analyse data...for this we use Bex.
(Business Explorer) is the reporting tool used to work with data in the BW database. BEx has a Web-based user interface and is made up of two components, the BEx browser and the BEx analyzer.
The BEx browser provides an organized interface where a user can access and work with any type of document assigned to them in the Business Information Warehouse, such as workbooks, links, and BW Web reports. The BW database itself is segmented into discrete data areas called InfoCubes that are made up of data and associated metadata. The BEx analyzer allows the user to examine segmented data in a variety of useful combinations, for example when comparing financial data for different fiscal years.
