Create a report archive using iBot recurrence/versioning

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a report archive. I have an iBot set up that creates a report. Unfortunately the report is written over each time the iBot is run. I'd like to have the iBot create a new report each time it is run. Is this possible? If not, can I create another iBot that somehow saves the previous one and then fires the main iBot to run the report again? Any ideas are appreciated.
Thanks!
Nick

Hi,
if you're delivering the reports to a directory you can use the following javascript
(advanced tab). Everytime the iBot is run, a new file will be used.
var FSO = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var fileName = GetConfigurationValue("Log Dir", "iBots") +
"\\" + JobID + "-" + InstanceID + "-" + UserID + "-" +
Parameter(0);
var fooFile = FSO.CopyFile(Parameter(0), fileName, true);

Error while creating a report that uses Oracle OCI JDBC connectivity

Please let me know why my CR and LF characters are removed from my forum posting *****
Hi,
I was trying to create a report that uses Oracle OCI JDBC connectivity. I am using Eclipse3.4 download from "cr4e-all-in-one-win_2.0.2.zip". I have successfully created a JDBC OCI connection.
The connection parameters are given below:
URL: jdbc:oracle:oci8:@xe
Database: xe
username: <userName>
password: <password>
I have tested the above connection in Data source Explorer and it works fine!!!
But I am getting the following error when I drag-and-drop a table from the list of tables. Not sure what I am missing here? Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi Ted,
Thanks for the feedback. I was able to create a report in Creystal Reports Designer 2008 using OCI. It is not allowing only in the Eclipse plugin. In our environment we are not allowed to user Oracle thin connections and ONLY OCI is allowed.
1) Can you please let me know if there is a way to do this?
2) Will it allow data sources using native database driver?
3) If so, can I use JRC to create these reports from a desktop java program?
Thanks & Regards

How to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata

Hi,
I want to ask for help on how to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata. My idea is to create a child region, a classic report and set the condition to never.
Then i will query the child report metadata from apex view and use it to create a custom report like using jquery jq-grid. Any idea how i can create a process that will use the child report
metadata? I dont know how i can create a process just like how apex work, how apex render report, coz i want it to be control using the standard apex report attribute. This plugin will
render according to the child report attribute.
Is there anybody here had ever done this?

Hi Nicolette,
Thanks for the reply. I know where to find the metadata, just asking for idea on how the rendering process will be.
Start from determining column heading, column order until finish rendering the report. The same way how apex
render the classic report.
Previously this imy my rendering process:
FUNCTION GETCOLUMN(P_REGION IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_REGION,
                     P_PLUGIN IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_PLUGIN,
                     P_VALUE IN VARCHAR2) RETURN SYS.DBMS_SQL.DESC_TAB2 IS
    VSQLHANDLER     APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.T_SQL_HANDLER;
    VCOLCOUNT       NUMBER;
    VCOLNAMES       VARCHAR2(2000);
    VAJAXIDENTIFIER VARCHAR2(100);
    VPAGESIZE       TYPEATTR := P_REGION.ATTRIBUTE_04;
    VJSCODE         VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
    VSQLHANDLER := APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.GET_SQL_HANDLER(P_SQL_STATEMENT => 'select * from s_emp',
                                                    P_MIN_COLUMNS    => 1,
                                                    P_MAX_COLUMNS    => 999,
                                                    P_COMPONENT_NAME => P_REGION.ID);
    VCOLCOUNT := VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST.COUNT();
    FOR I IN 1 .. VCOLCOUNT LOOP
      VCOLNAMES := VCOLNAMES || '{name: "' ||
                   UPPER(VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST(I).COL_NAME) || '",';
    END LOOP;
    APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
    RETURN VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
      RAISE;
END GETCOLUMN;
So this is how i get the header for my report plugin. The same method is use to get the value / data for each column. This process is work. So now
i want to extend my plugin so that i will use all attributes from the child report to render my plugin. So the column header, column order, all will depend
on the child report. And the column display condition is set, it will also check the condition before render the column. Sounds like i want to reinvent
the normal apex rendering process but this is what i want to achieve.
I need help to find the correct logic for my render process. Don't want too much for starting, just want to render the plugin correctly, same with child report,
same columns alias, column ordering and column conditional display.
Thanks,
akulala

How to manually create a Report Layout using Crystal

I am trying to create a new layout using Crystal for my Statements using BP Aging . the out of the box Crystal report for that will not work and it would be easier if i just decide what tables I want to look at. The problem is i am not sure how to set up the parameters so when i print from the aging it will automatically fill in my parameters with the correct information. I have already written the report but when i attempt to print from the Aging report it asks me for my perimeters every time. I tried to look at the out of the box version but it does not even use perimeters so i have no idea how SAP feeds Crystal what information to filter by. I'm using 8.80 PL 16 thank you in advance for any help you can give.
Edited by: Megan Salem on Oct 31, 2011 5:31 PM

not really, The system one all comes from some sort of "pld" table and the only designations are the f-numbers (F_124) and i don't have a clue what those are, and when i try to link what should be an the invoice number to the OINV table other things come back blank even when i use left join. I need some of the information that is provided but i need more than what is currently there so i need the ability to link to the other tables and have it work for every one. (I'm trying to make it more like the dunnung statement only so it can be run at any moment in time and give the exact amount owed.)

Create OEM report - Databases using Oracle Partitioning option

Hi
Is it possible to draw a report on Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g to discover which of its list of target databases are using the oracle partitioning option. It is for license purposes. Oracle partitioning is installed by default, but it is not always used.
Thanks and Regards

Yes that is possible if you create a report using a query like
SELECT
HOST, DATABASE_NAME, INSTANCE_NAME,
TARGET_TYPE,NAME,
CURRENTLY_USED, DETECTED_USAGES, FIRST_USAGE_DATE,
LAST_USAGE_DATE, VERSION, LAST_SAMPLE_DATE,
DESCRIPTION
FROM SYSMAN.MGMT$DB_FEATUREUSAGE
WHERE
NAME = 'Partitioning (user)'
AND
CURRENTLY_USED = 'TRUE'

How to resolve the start at work indication while creating a report templateby using CG42?

Dear Experts,
I am working as a EHS Consultant , i am doing a assignment for power industry,
Querry 1.
While i am creating a report template by using CG42, when am trying to specify the initial status as in work, or release, system is not taking that, its automatically shows start at work. option,
while i am creating report template i used below steps.
CG2B-generation varient(Initial satus i had put it as relleased)
CG42- Edit or create report template.
I request yo u guide me how to trouble shoot this.
Querry 2.
And once i click the document option its given a information that
A report template is already being edited or displayed at front end.
I request yo u guide me how to trouble shoot this.
Thanks with regards
Vishwanath Hegde

Dear Viswa
For Query :2
Go to Utilities and click on "Rest front end" (refer below screen shot)
For Query :1
1) .Once you create the template the initial status will be "Star of work" and you should assign that template to respective Generation variant in CG2b.
2) Once you go in to report template through Cg42 , if you get above error , go to utilities click on " Rest front end" and edit the template and save the template without any errors , so automatically system status will be changed in to " In process on work station"
3) Once you finish the template creation with out any errors , you can click on Release , then the template status will be released.

Trouble converting files created with 9.2 using 5.0 version.

I have multiple pcs using 5.0.1 version of acrobat without any problem. Recently bought new pc with 9.2 installed. Problem is when I create with new version, older versions can't open. Error message says file corrupted. I tried downloading all upgrades for older version. Is there a solution without upgrading all other pc's with newer version?

I'm using Acrobat distiller from my 9.2 version normally converting a word document into PDF. I haven't really changed any settings from original installation, but I'm afraid I must have some settings that are preventing those with the 5.0 version from opening.

Hi,
I have not worked on it but you can try this out:
TCODE for report writer table is GRCT.
There You need to add your z fields in some pre-defined structure like CCSS and then activate the structure and then activate characteristics.

Unable to Create a report with useing IE 9

Hello Expert,
I am usering OBIEE 11.1.1.1.5. In my system IE browser is 9.0.8112.16421.
I am trying to ceate a report, For that i went to Analysis and selected One subject area. But when i went to criteria tab and trying to add column by Drag-drop or by double click, none of the fields are coming in the right pan.
So please let me know what could be the reason for this? and how should i resolve this issue.
Regards
Niraj

Internet Explorer 9 is currently supported with OBIEE 10.1.3.4.2 and OBIEE 11.1.1.6.0. So I would expect few things to wrong here and there with IE 9 and .5 as they are not certified together. Check out ( OBIEE 10g and 11g: Support and Certification of Internet Explorer Browser Versions [ID 1347987.1] ) for more details.

Want to create Ineractive report by using pl/sql block

Hi,
But If have to read different informations for different tables, how can I do ?
For example:
for s in (SELECT srv_sys_name,ddb_dbname
FROM search_master
WHERE ( ddb_dbname like '%'||:p7_ddb_dbname||'%' AND :p7_ddb_dbname IS NOT NULL ))
loop
apex_collection.add_member(p7_col, s.srv_sys_name, s.ddb_dbname );
end loop;
If I have an other table to look to get other informations, i don't know what to do ?
It's my problem for now.
Thanks in advance. Bye.

Additionally, creating collections row-by-row is horribly inefficient. Use the <tt>APEX_COLLECTION.CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY_B</tt> bulk methods instead.
However in this case the the PL/SQL and collection-based approach is unnecessary. Base the IR on the query (plus joins to whatever other tables are necessary):
select srv_sys_name,ddb_dbname
from search_master
where ddb_dbname like :p7_ddb_dbname_qryand compute hidden item <tt>p7_ddb_dbname_qry</tt> to include the value of <tt>p7_ddb_dbname</tt> and wildcard characters as required.
Finally, note that <tt>LIKE</tt> searches using leading-edge wildcards on large data sets can be inefficient as this eliminates the possibility of using indexes on the searched column.
(Always post code wrapped in tags<tt>\...\</tt> tags to preserve formatting and special characters.)

Create Crystal Report Dynamically using XML based design metadata

Hi,
I have a CR Report Development environment. Please refer to workflow and requirement description below;
I have a Java application(Report Customization Tool), which allows users to dynamically select structure and content for a report.
The process goes as follows:
1. In Java Application, user first gets option to select Report Header, Page Orientation, Font etc for master report.
2. User can select a sub-report (pre-developed report frames. Not Sure about tool.) and apply the same format option (mentioned in step 1, except orientation) to it.
3. User can select individual row/data cell to be displayed on the report through reference to DB tables in sub-reports.
4. There can be N number of sub-reports each with independant formatting, data and data layout that could be integrated in single report.
5 Once all selection is done, Java code generates an XML with all this info.
Now, my requirement is dynamically write CR report based on this XML. I am not using BO enterprise, hence RAS SDK is out of scope. This report will be called thorough stand-alone .NET application in CITRIX environment.
Can we do it in CR XI/CR 2008?
Please feel free to comment in case you need more info. But I won't be able to post screenshots. NDA of course!
Thanks in advance.

I moved your post to the NET - SAP Crystal Reports forum.
To start, you have a fair bit of work ahead of you. The Crystal reports SDK will not do the job. You will have to use the InProc RAS SDK which is included in both CR XI and CR 2008. I'd recommend going with CR 2008 as CR XI R1 (11.0) is out of support now and CR XI R2 (11.5) will be out of support come June of 2011. Next, make sure you have applied SP 3 for CR 2008:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
As an FYI, all files can be found on the downloads page:
http://service.sap.com/sap/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm
Next, you want to read up on RAS. I suggest the following:

Error creating Crystal Report using Stored Proc Universe

Hi,
I have created a stored procedure Universe, using the new feature available in XI R3.
This connects to an Oracle database, executing a PL/SQL procedure returning ref cursor.
I have created a WebI report using this Universe, which works fine and functions as expected.
So there are no problems with either my Oracle stored proc or the Universe.
However, I would like to create a Crystal report (2008) using the same Universe.
I can create the report ok - using the SP Universe.
When I attempt to refresh the data I get an error:
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
