Controlling web report output

Hi, I would like to find out how to control the web report output generated by the server. Any help and ideas would be most welcomed.
I'm trying to get rid of the extra pair of <html> </html> tags generated by the report server. Below is an example of the html output generated by the server
<html>
<head>
<base href="http://server_name:port/reports/rwservlet/getfile/HW/YX+JyF1XNS6sQmfjO3063/39488071.htm">
</head>
</html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
</html>
What I want is
<html>
<head>
<base href="http://server_name:port/reports/rwservlet/getfile/HW/YX+JyF1XNS6sQmfjO3063/39488071.htm">
</head>
</html>
Apart from manually removing the tag myself, I can't find any documentation on how to do that. Is that even possible? I also notice that if I try to use paginated html reports builder, it doesn't give me the extra pair of <html> tags.
Thanks,
genie

Hi Genie,
Currentlty it is not possible. This is something that will be possible in one of the upcoming releases / patches of Oracle Reports.
However, this extra pair <html> tags will appear ONLY when you send the output directly to the browser, ie, when you use destype=cache in your command. If you send the output to a file, ie, destype=file, there will be no extra <html> tags. When you generate a file from Builder, it is equivalent to destype=file, that is why you do not see these tags in the output file.
The reason for having these extra <html> tags is: when you send the output to browser, the browser needs a BASE url, ie, a base path where the browser will look for any images etc. This BASE url is not part of the HTML output, but is written by Oracle Reports to tell the browser where the associated images etc are located.

Change order of key figure is not working in Web report output (using WAD)

Hi,
We are using BI 7.0, release 701 and level 008. We are facing problem in WAD (web report output). When ever we do 'Select filter' for key figures and 'change the order' of key figures, it does not get reflected in new order. Though drag and drop of key figures is working.
Though same change order is working fine in Bex Analyser.
Kindly suggest some inputs.
Thanks.

Hi,
On Which Service Pack are you on?WAD has this feature of re arranging the keyfigures in BI 7.0 for SPS 14...

Output mismatch between BEx query output and WebI Report output

Hi All,
I have a BEx query in which there are only characteristics placed in rows.
There are combinations of the values of the characteristics giving different records in the query output.
Date is one of the characterisctics in the query output.
There is an output mismatch between the query output and the WebI report output in the following case:
When there are 'Not Assigned' or '#' or blank values, there are additional entries(rows) in the WebI report, giving repeating or wrong entries in the Date field. This is incorrect data.
Is this because of the 'Not Assigned' or '#' or blank values of the Characteristics or is there any other reason?
How do I fix this?
Please helo me with this.
Thanks and Regards,
Srilakshmi B

Hi Rajesh,
I need to verify the WebI report output for records with # and 'Not assigned' values for the cHracteristics in the report.
So I cannot check the WebI report by hiding the # or Not assigned values.
The problem is that in the Query output the records are like these shown below:
Char1                    CHar2                          CHar3                       Date field
A                             B                                 C                                Date1
#(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)             No value
Where as the WebI report output is as below:
Char1                    CHar2                          CHar3                       Date field
A                             B                                 C                                Date1
#(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)            Date1
As shown here, there are wrong/repeating entries for the Date field in the WebI report output.
Please check this and let me know what could be the issue and how do I fix it.
Thanks and Regards,

Hide/Unhide Columns in WEBI Report output

We have a WEBI report which has 2 columns/measures to display the cost in EUR and USD. User would like to have the flexibility to filter the column so as to display USD or EUR cost column. Is it possible to hide/unhide column in WEBI. Can we have a input control on multiple measures so that user can dynamically select which measures they want to see on report.
Its possible in BEx Analyser using filter option on key figure. Is simillar functionality available in WEBI? We're on BO 3.1 XI. Is thre any other way to achieve this?
Thanks,
Milind

hi,
i think it is not possible to hide a column based on condition. but in webi 4.0 u have an option using which, u can hide/ show a table based on the user selection. in ur scenario, create two tables, one with value in USD and other in EU, super impose the table. then right onthe table and select "Format cell". in that u ll have a option to hide the table based on condition. select that and apply the condition.
see the follwoing url for more info : http://bihappyblog.com/2011/11/05/dynamic-visibility-in-webi/
thank u,

Webi Report Output using dynamic Filter

Suppose my report output contains doc. number & document date which shows data of one year which filter is applied on global level means at query filters level.
Now I want to show output of only last 3 months from current date(report run date) on the basis of document date.
So how to proceed further in such scenario.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks
Pradip

You can filter it on the report level or the block level. Highlight either one and then add the filter (make sure the filter window is open).

Control Workflow Report output using Structural Authorization

Is it possible to control output of Workflow Reports using Structural Authorizatins. E.g. Workflow Admins having access to tcode SWi2_FREQ will be able to see project wide data, but i want to restrict the workflow admins at department level from seeing workflow data for other departments. is that possible using Structural authorizations or any other mechanism?
My understanding is that Structural authorizations pretty much control PA/PD, and not other modules. I did a quick test,
1) Created a org structure
2) Created employees, users, and set up structural authorizations
Now when users are granted authorization to PA20, they are restricted to what they should be seeing, but when they are granted authorization for workflow admin reports, structural authorization don't seem to work, they are able to see data for workflow triggered for other departments as well. Is that the standard behavior or i am missing something. I don't have enough experience with Structural auth.
I will appreciate any guidance on this matter.
Thanks,
Saurabh

Arghadip, please explain how this will prevent someone from Norway from looking at the workflow log of a workflow for an employee belonging to the Danish part of the organisation.
<i>Message was edited by Kjetil Kilhavn:</i>
To explain a bit more in detail: how does this prevent me (Norwegian) from going into SWI1, SWIA or any other transaction, and looking at data from other parts of the organisation. I don't think it will work.
I think the only way to achieve this is to either modify SAP's standard code and include some structural authorisation checks - or take the standard transactions out from every user role and create your own wrappers or program copies which basically does the same as the modification would have to do.

Scheduled Reports Output Format

Dear All,
Does anyone know how I can schedule WEBI reports in the same formats as crystal reports? I currently use BOXI r3.
The current WEBI options are only:
Web Intelligence
Excel
Adobe Acrobat
Where the crystal options are:
MS Excel
MS Word
PDF
RTF
TXT
TTX
CSV
XML
I need to be able to schedule a series of WEBI reports in csv & txt formats to an FTP location.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

I believe the only option for WEBI reports output formats are Web Intelligence, Microsoft Excel and Adobe Acrobat.
We have been having problems with scheduled reports output format in Excel. WEBI report's page layout is set to Legal and Landscape. But, MS Excel does not keep the same WEBI page layout margins for legal and landscape, and the report does not fit to page on Excel. WEBI formatting works best on Adobe Acrobat.
We opened a ticket with SAP... their response was it is a known issue with no solution.

BI Report output appear wider than normal

Hi,
We upgraded the BI system from BI 7.0 to BI 7.1. After upgrading the BI development system, we found some changes in the Web report output. One of them is below:
The columns (all columns, char and key figure) appear wider than normal. So we are wasting lot of space in the report. Is there any setting on the web template, or elsewhere, to u2018auto sizeu2019 the columns?
Please reply to this thread if you know the answer. Points will be assigned.
Thanks in advance,
PReddy

Hi PReddy,
you can use modification module com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ColumnWidth in the Web item analysis to set fixed column widths...

Report output directly to printer on web

I am using Forms 6i & Reports 6i to build an application.
I run report from forms 6i using Run_Report_Object (Output to
printer).
It works fine when using Client/Server.
But When on the web the output of report to printer goes to the
printer of the server instead of printer of the client.
I want to print the report from the printer of client who
requested the report directly.
Please help me out.
Thanks
Zulqarnain

Stephen,
use destype=printer and desname=<network printer>. The format by default is set to postscript.

Generate txt output using a program unit in web report (OAS 10g)

Hi Everyone.
I have a c/s report (6i) which generates a txt file in a program unit using TEXT_IO package. I need to move this report to web (Reports 10g) and publishing it in OAS 10g. I've done that (without the text file generation), I can see the report on the browser in PDF Format and works fine... but, I still have a problem... when I use Text_io package, the c/s version of the report in 10g runs an generates the output.txt file but when I move it to web I got an error in the before report trigger (in which I invoke the program unit sp_generate_txt)
I looked around for a solution and I just find the usage of webutil package, but as you know, webutil package is only usable in Forms.
Any Ideas on how can I solve this problem?

Hello,
TEXT_IO can be used in Reports deployed on the web.
The difference with Client /Server is the fact that the file create by TEXT_IO will be created on the "Middle Tier Server" and not on the Client.

Hiding webi report row in output context

Hello,
I wanted to know if there is a way to hide a webi report row. ( I am not interested in filtering at query level).
Now for example, say a query returns say
USA 800
UK 200
APAC 100
JAPAN 50
Now i want to hide the row with JAPAN in the report output context. I am wondering if this is possible using some formulae.
I am not interested in hiding data with say alerter and cell color, that will only create an empty row look when exported to PDF or Excel.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,
Yes it is possible if you write down a formula in that column.
If "Country" = "JAPAN" then ""
This will show nothing in the column and thn you can set column property to hide if there is nothing.

Calling html file within web.show document as a report output

/* this is blank html file included javascript for disabling mouse right click working fine*/
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('http://prod.artisticmilliners.com:8000/files/file.html','_blank');
/* this is oracle report output within model frame working fine*/
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:void(window.open("'|| URL || '","","location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,"));self.close()','_self');
I want to add show report output with right mouse click disable. Pleae guide how can i do it?

Let me start by saying that disabling the right mouse will do nothing but frustrate users. It doesn't protect the page content from anything. There are various other ways to get the content from the page copied locally. And more importantly, this does not_ offer any kind of security.
Ok, so you have decided to do it anyway ;)
In order to make this happen, you would need to modify the report. I will assume that when you said "report" you meant Oracle Reports. Open the report file (.rdf) and edit the report's "Before Report Value".
The default value is:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=&Encoding">
</head>
<body dir=&Direction bgcolor="#ffffff">Change it to this:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=&Encoding">
</head>
<script language="javascript">
document.onmousedown=disableclick;
status="Right Click Disabled";
Function disableclick(e)
if(event.button==2)
alert(status);
return false;
</script>
<body oncontextmenu="return false" dir=&Direction bgcolor="#ffffff">Save the changes and retest.

How to create dynamic web report in 10G Grid Control

Hi experts..
In OEM 9i, it provides a OEMgenerationServlet servlet to generate dynamic Web reports, my company uses the servlet to generate many OEM report, those reports cal also take parameters, such as dabatase name. the generated web reports are viewable to public end users. I am looking for a similar function in 10G Grid control...
Does anyone have the similar requirement, any suggestion will be highly appreciated..

Hi,
Thank you for the reply. I read about Clear and Purge from Oracle Doc about 10gR2, but nothing about R1. I drilled down all the way, can't find any thing to click for clear and purge. And I can't find anything from Oracle Doc, either.

How to add Tabs and List Boxes in Webi Report in Reporting Area(Not Report Filters & Input Controls)

Hi All,

Is it possible to integrate the list box and tabs into Report Zone in BO Webi? as show in below image?
Thanks in Advance
Muralidhar Reddy N

Hello Muralidhar Reddy,
The exact tool for your requirement is SAP BO Dashboard or SAP BO Design studio. WebI is a tool for ad-hoc reporting tool and we have limited functionalities to make dashboards using webI. You can have all those chart options in WebI and you can use Input controls or drill filters for restricting data. But you cannot have these selection components in reporting area. Tabs as shown in above post, you can have in bottom of the report.
find below a good example of dashboard using WebI

hope it helps
