Count( ) function in BIP Report

Hello,
Can someone please help me with my count( ) function in BIP reports? I have this code in my RTF template below that only count 1 per ssImageType
<?xdofx:if (ssStatus='Closed') and (ssGroup='EDS OPS') then count((/ssAction=/ssImageType))?><?end-if?>
The undesired result is coming up below:
Image Type A = 1
Image Type A = 1
Image Type A = 1
Image Type B = 1
Where we wanted it to come up as
Image Type A = 3
Image Type B = 1
Image Type C = 0
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

What is the item that you want to count? I don't understand what you are trying to do here: count((/ssAction=/ssImageType))?
If status is closed and ssGroup = EDS OPS, and ssAction = ssImageType, then you want to count the number of records?
If you want to, send me the rtf and xml file to [email protected] and I can take a look. Send me the exact specification..
Thanks,
Bipuser

What is the Sring Comparision function in BIP Reports(Siebel)

Hi,
My Requirement is - comparing two fields and checking case sensitive.
is there any comparison function to check Case Sensitive in BIP like Siebel actuate function StrComp ?
Siebel Actuate function --IIF(StrComp([Part_Number], [Prod_No_Extr], 1) <> 0 ,[Prod_No_Extr], "")
Please help me if any buddy knows about this.
Thanks,
Chand.

Hi,
Can you explain your question better?
The if function appears to be case sensitive
<?if:CLIENT_1=CLIENT_2?>
If Client1 =ABC" and Client2="aBC" it returns false
If Client1="ABC" and Client2="ABC" it returns true

XL Reporter and Count function

Hi,
Using XL Reporter to produce financial reporting and sales analysis reporting is great. It would be good to be able to use count functions as well for other data analysis (ie in Service modules) without having to drop out huge volumes of data from the database, hide it and use the Excel countif functions to analyse the data.
An example is to provide reporting on the number of service calls in a period analysed by Problem Types, by Item Groups, Top 10 customers by number of calls etc.
This is all good supporting reporting but it is resource hungry to produce using the existing methods.

Hi you all
Thats right, im doing like you: hiding lots of data... but it would be great to use a count function.
For example, i am doing a report where i need to count the number of invoices made for a sale of type a manufacturer brand.
If anyone have a solution, please share it.
Thanks

Not able to get correct BIP report output in case of more than 6000 records

Hi,
When we are trying to generate the BIP report in siebel 8.1.1, for the list of records whose count exceeds 6000 records, we are gettin a error as
"Error <?> invoking method "<?>" for Business Service "<?>"(SBL-OMS-00203)
W have done all the optimizations recommended by siebel like
1)BIP Report Wait Time = 250
2)Database Polling Interval=1
3)Maximum Tasks parameter=100
4)Maximum MT Servers parameter=2
5)DSMaxFetchArraySize=-1
6)Scalable mode in XDo cfg=True
Than also we are getting the above error.
Do any body have any solution or how we can optimize the report because the same report is working with less than 6000 records and giving details of all the records correctly but if records are increased beyond that than we are getting error as specified above.
Thanks

The code below looks correct. Is that the expected behavior of your app?

What diff between BIP AttachEntity Report Generation and BIP Report Generation?

Hi all,
I want to know the two WF has what's difference.
I had seen they have same method and step.
Actually,I want to do a function, when click a button,will generate BIP reports.
Using the BIP Report Gneration can do this.
But I want pop a window to open or save the report after the WF finished work.
Could BIP AttachEntity Report Generation do that?
I had similitude it seem same as BIP Report Gneration.
Be appropriate to you if you can answer the question.
Thanks,
Wenqin

Ok, let me guess, you are seeing an error that says an invalid printer was selected, right? Well there is a bug in your code but it has nothing to do with the printer that you have selected. Specifically you have some of the margin values set to zero -- which is invalid. The margins have to have a value of at least 1. In case you're interested, I followed down the logic and inside the print report VI the code, for some unknown reason (NI is checking into it), remapps an error code that correctly identifies invalid margins to report one that reports an invalid printer name. Apparently this was first reported in 2008.
Verified this behavior of both LV2013 and 2014.

Siebel & "BIP Report Generation" Workflow and Bookmark Syntax

IHAC that wants to schedule the generation of a BIP report to run every weeknight and include a list of activities for the next day. We've utilized an OOTB IO and can successfully render the report using Sample XML in MS Word. Additionally, since they are only on 8.1.1, they do not currently have access to the latest scheduling capabilities. Therefore, we're trying to implement a repeating component to call a workflow to generate the report using the 'BIP Report Generation' workflow and the associated objects (from support posting 823360.1).
Now to the questions:
One of the parameters for the workflow is a 'Bookmark'. This parameter does not appear to handle various 'Siebel' querying functions like 'Today()' as part of the criteria. Can someone confirm this statement?
Currently, I can imagine one high-level possible workarounds. This would entail a revised WF and that includes a prior step to generate the 'Bookmark' by retrieving a string representation of tomorrow's date and concatenating it with the rest of the criteria.
Next question:
Does anyone have any other possible alternatives? Maybe a calculated field in the BC/IC for 'Today() + 1' - but this could have performance implications.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Suggestions/comments?
Bump.

Error while running BIP report, in one of our ST environments

we are getting this exception while running one of our BIP report(RTF template).
the same code is working in the other ST environments
NOTE: we observed some special cases
if the report contain any Graph(chart) then this error is coming,
with the plain report (means only text), we observe it working fine.
could any one help, for debugging this issue
we found this log in EM console.

OBIEE: Incorrect SQL - with count function uses ORDER BY instead GROUP BY

I made a basic report that is a client count; I want to know how many clients the company have.
But, when I run this report, OBIEE generates a ORDER BY sentence, instead a GROUP BY. Remember that I'm using count function, that is a agregation.
The SQL generated was:
select 'N0' as c1,
count(*) as c2
from
(select distinct T1416.CLIENT_INTER_KEY as c1
from
(select *
from prd.D_SERVICE where SOURCE_SYS in ('ARBOR','PPB') and DW_SERV_ST_ID in (100000003,100000009)) T1836,
(select *
from prd.D_CLIENT) T1416,
(select *
from prd.D_CUSTOMER_ACCOUNT where SOURCE_SYS In ('ARBOR','PPB')) T1515
where ( T1416.DW_CLIENT_ID = T1515.DW_CLIENT_ID and T1515.DW_CUST_ACCT_ID = T1836.DW_CUST_ACCT_ID and T1836.MSISDN = '917330340' )
) D1
order by c1
The error that I receive is:
"Query Status: Query Failed: [nQSError: 16001] ODBC error state: S1000 code: -1005018 message: [Sybase][ODBC Driver][Adaptive Server Anywhere]Illegal ORDER BY item Order Item: 'N0',
-- (opt_OrderBy.cxx 429) .
[nQSError: 16011] ODBC error occurred while executing SQLExtendedFetch to retrieve the results of a SQL statement."
If I substitute ORDER BY with GROUP BY and test it in Sybase, Ithe query runs without any problem.
select 'N0' as c1,
count(*) as c2
from
(select distinct T1416.CLIENT_INTER_KEY as c1
from
(select *
from prd.D_SERVICE where SOURCE_SYS in ('ARBOR','PPB') and DW_SERV_ST_ID in (100000003,100000009)) T1836,
(select *
from prd.D_CLIENT) T1416,
(select *
from prd.D_CUSTOMER_ACCOUNT where SOURCE_SYS In ('ARBOR','PPB')) T1515
where ( T1416.DW_CLIENT_ID = T1515.DW_CLIENT_ID and T1515.DW_CUST_ACCT_ID = T1836.DW_CUST_ACCT_ID and T1836.MSISDN = '917330340' )
) D1
group by c1
Do you know why OBIEE generates this SQL??? Why uses, with a aggregation function, a ORDER BY and not a GROUP BY? How can I resolve this problem???

Verify your repository design and make sure that you have defined count aggregate on fact column. You would also need to define the content level of each dimension in fact table.

Sql count function in order by clause

Post Author: krypton
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi Guys
Can i ask a quick question. I am trying to retrieve data remotely from a SQL Server via crystal reports.
Within the Database Expert I have entered a SQL query to retrive the number of (call center) support calls raised by our customers:-
Select `Primary_Company`, COUNT(`Calls`)From `SPRT_Issue` GROUP BY `Primary_Company`ORDER BY COUNT(`Calls`) desc
The customer's column is called 'Primary Company' and the calls they raise are in the 'Calls' column. the above is a normal sql query.
However Crystal fails to run the query and generates an error message :-
Failed to open a rowset. Details: 420: Driver] Expected lexical element not found: <identifier>
I dont understand why it wont run. In the ORDER BY clause if i replace field 'Calls' by the field 'Primary Company' then it works.
I think the problem is that it wont accept the count function in the order by clause. which is what i want it to do i.e display the calls in descending order by each customer.
Could someone tell me if there is a way around it.
Thanks
Krypton

Thanks Lynn
I tried your suggestion. But there is one probelm.
When i sort the data in descending order using the count(calls) field, the data is returned but the customer's name appears multiple times along with their calls raised.
E.g, if customer Mark raised multiple calls i.e. 2, 5, and 10 calls, then the report will show
Mark 2
Mark 5
Mark 10
But is there a way to aggregate all the calls for mark and show them only once:
such as Mark 17
Thanks

Link from OBIEE Report to BIP Report

I have a requirement in which I need to Create a Report in OBIEE and the values used in the prompts to execute the report in OBIEE needs to be passed through a link to BIP and Execute BIP report for selcted parameters.
The Report is working fine and I am able to pass the parameters from OBIEE to BIP but to make BIP Report function correctly. I have to apply same set of Parameters in BIP and they are visible in the header of the BIP Report.
Now the Requirement is to hide those parameters from BIP Report and BIP Report should run for the selected parameters from OBIEE dashboard.. On doing this the values passed from OBIEE are not getting filltered in BIP report and BIP Report is running for all records. Is there an alternate way to achieve this?

if you are on 11.1.1.6 version you can do it i think .
check the link below

Enhancements to Parameter Display Options
Enhancements to parameter display options include:
Support for radio button and check box display of values
Parameters that are defined as a menu in the data model can now be configured to display the menu options as a list of radio buttons or check boxes. Parameters configured to support one value support the option to display as radio buttons. Parameters configured to support multiple values support the option to display as check boxes.
New options for placement of parameters in the report viewer
Previously the report viewer always displayed the parameters in a horizontal region across the top of the viewer. In this release the display of the parameter region can also be configured in one of the following ways:
In a vertical region along the right side of the viewer
As a dialog
As a separate full page
New report viewer action button to show or hide parameters
This release adds an action button to the report viewer to enable users to hide or show the parameter region. This enhancement complements the new parameter display options. When report parameters are configured to display as a dialog or in a separate full page, the parameter display region is dismissed when the viewer displays the report. Use the Parameters button to redisplay the parameter region to make new selections.
Search added to menus
All parameter menus having more than a specified number of options provide a Search option. For more information, see Section 3.3.1.1, "The Parameter Search Dialog."
Option to remove the Apply button
Reports can now be configured to remove the parameter Apply button. In these reports the action of selecting a new parameter value automatically reruns the report.

Distinct Count Function-how to use properly

Hello,
I am new to using forums & have only been using Crystal since May of 2009, so i hope i do this correctly & provide the appropriate information. i've looked for this answer in what's been posted but cannot find it. Some things i've read I don't really understand. I only know how to use the functions that are in the software, i don't know how to write them myself (i think that's when people have referred to SQL code or basic syntax)
I have CR Professional, version 11.0.0.1282 (Crystal Reports XI).
I work at a county health dept and we have a annual medicaid cost report, I am linking Crystal to our EMR billing module. i have my report sorted by insurance, ie medicaid, bcbs, abw, hpm etc. and within each ins group i have the clients ID, DOS (date of service), procedure code, charge amt, ins pmt & patient pmt. i have totaled the charges & pmts for each group-works fine. i even have been able to create the formula to adj out the duplicate entries in the billing module (a service was entered wrong then adjusted out then re-entered correctly-without my formula crystal was pulling both these records and adding them to total charges.)
Where my problem lies and what my question is: I need to count encounters, an encounter is the visit, but each visit could have 2 or more procedure codes. So this results in multiple lines on my report for one visit, which i want for the charges to add correctly, but it makes my visit count to high. So I read about the distinct count function, of which there are three listed & i'm having a hard time understanding the differences. What i tried is: a distinct count of the acct ID-so the same acct ID's are only counted the one time. But some clients see us more than once per year, meaning the acct ID is the same but the DOS is different. For this client that would be 2 visits. But crystal is counting this as 1.
Saying what i want to do is this: Count as 1 when the acct ID and DOS are the same. I've tried using the different distinct counts but when i check my formula it always has errors. So I'm sure my lack of knowledge is what's holding me up-i fully believe crystal can do this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I create a dummy table, set up acc_id and DOS and Charge.
Created a running total
Summarized acc_id
Type of summary Count
Evaluated using a formula
<> previous ()
and reset on ACC_ID
My groups were sorted by acc_id and date
where there were multiple visits on the same DOS my count was 0
where the dos changed it would count accordingly.
You may need to use two Running totals to get the complete picture.

Count() function with selective criteria?

I'm struggling with what I would expect to be a fundamental reporting concept in CR.
Suppose I have the following EMPLOYEE table:
u2022 EMPLOYEE.ID
u2022 EMPLOYEE.GENDER_CODE
u2022 EMPLOYEE.MANAGER_FLAG
I need to generate a statistical summary report containing the following:
u2022 Total number of Employees
u2022 Number of Male Employees
u2022 Number of Management Employees
This would be easy if I could just use a Count() function in the Function Workshop which
contained selective criteria. For example: Count ({EMPLOYEE.GENDER_CODE} = 'M')
But I can't figure out how to do this without getting a CR error message.
Record Selection doesn't work, because I need the whole data set.
Group Selection with Summaries doesn't work, because the gender and management
attributes are not mutually exclusive.
One solution that seems awkward to me is to create additional SQL commands in the
Database Expert using COUNT(*) and WHERE criteria to get the number of Males
and number of Managers. But I have to believe that there is a better way. Plus this
approach causes problems elsewhere in my report.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Bill

Thanks Raghavendra!
The good news is that I was able to create a "1 or 0" formula and then sum the resulting values.
The bad news is that I'm only able to get this to work for part of my report.
I am joining two tables. As an example COMPANY and EMPLOYEE.
I can use "1 or 0" formulas on all of the employee statistics.
But I cannot do the same for company statistics, because the number of company records being assigned a 1 is being inflated by the join between the two tables.
I have achieved a successful result by using Running Total Fields at the end of the report.
But I want to place these summary statistics at the begining of my report. (Such as Total Companies in the Western Region.)
I tried to use "COMPANY.NAME = previous(COMPANY.NAME)" logic in my function, but then I was not allowed to summarize it.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill

Count Function on Date Field in Discoverer

Hey folks,
How would someone like to educate a novice on how to perform a count function on a date field? I am writing a Discoverer report and have a requirement to display counts of the number of records that have a modified date of > 30 days and > 60 days. I am trying to use the 2nd count function as such: COUNT(modified_date < (SYSDATE - 30)). I keep getting the "error in function" message. I have tried it with CURRENT_DATE as well and get the same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks much,
Schuyler

Hi
You can't use logical expression in a function like this:
COUNT(modified_date < (SYSDATE - 30))
instead of this use CASE expression:
COUNT(case when modified_date < (SYSDATE - 30) then 1 else 0 end)

Help with Count function

CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
I am trying to use the count function to count the number of unique PO numbers in a column. The program returns a value of "1" even when there are no PO's to be counted. Is there some system setting that i am missing.
The universe that i am using is a free-hand SQL query to to an MS Access .mdb file. (if that makes a difference)

Found my problem - 'empty' values in the PO column were not NULL.

How to get the list of BIP reports for a perticular instance?

Hello All,
We have a requirement to list all the BI Publisher reports available in an instance from outside BIP.Is there any way to get the reports with the instance details as parameters?And is it possible to run BIP reports from command line?
Do we have any API's to do these?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
there's a Java API and a Web Service API available for BI Publisher. The Web Services API for example has functions to get the content of folders or the parameters of a report.
Have a look at
