Creating Alert Reports in BIP

What is the best way to create alert (conditional) reports in BIP? I am relatively new to BIP. My apologies if this is a stupid question but I haven't found a solution that doesn't feel like a hack.
We've used BIP bursting with a condition built into the bursting query to limit the recipients. But I believe it requires at least one recipient which makes me think it isn't supposed to work that way. I've searched for a better solution without result.
OBIEE 'Delivers' supports conditional iBots. I wan't to do the same type of thing with BIP. Am I missing something?
I've also considered using the Java API to kick off a report when the condition is met. But if it isn't needed I would rather skip that option.
We are using BIP 10.1.3.4.0.
Thanks!

There is an interesting old post:

Where you can use iBots to trigger a BIP Report. As you can see this requires you develop a custom code and BIP APIs.

Creat a report in bi publisher based on dashboards

Hi,
Do you know if is possible creat a report in BIP with the same information and format that is in the dashboards?
Thank you

I would think you can in most cases - but there is no automated tool.
Steps I would take is
1) create a new report with the parameters shown in the dashboard.
2) Add a query with the logical SQL from each answer report.
3) Add where conditions based on parameters
4) create a BI Publisher report in the word template based on this data.

BI Publisher not able to create a report

Can we join external Excel file with data to an existing report in BIP

Hi,
I have created a report in BIP and the output being previewed is in Excel.
ex : i'm trying to get emp_id , emp_name, emp_Address from a datasource called "EMPLOYEE_DEV".
Now i have an external excel file (which has data) containg emp_job_title, emp_id, emp_salary...............this data comes from a different datasource called DETAIL_DATABASE.......
My question - is it possible to join an external excel file (from different datasource - DETAIL_DATABASE) to an existing report in BIP(another datsource - EMPLOYEE_DEV ).
Coz at the end i have to show emp_id, emp_name, emp_Address, emp_job_title, emp_salary........by using emp_id as a join between these two.
Please help me with this.
Thanks.

Can you load the data from the excel file into a table that you can query against? If so, you can have two data models: one for the employee_dev and one for detail_database source and then use Concatenated SQL Data Source or you can have a single query with the data you need from both tables.
BI publisher allows you to use a file as a datasource, however I believe it has to be an XML file. You should be able to save the Excel file as XML; however if you want to concatenate the data with another data model with a sql query, the data generated has extra tags and I am not sure if you will be able to use it to create a template.
Hopefully others can chime in and provide any suggestions or experiences they have had in dealing with such situations.

Problems in create graphical report from Oracle FSG xml output using BIP

We are trying to create graphical reports from Oracle Financial Statement Generator (FSG) xml output. I personally have extensive exposure working with XML (BI) Publisher but until recently I have never tried to use the BIP charting wizard to create graphical reports from FSG xml output out of EBS 11i/R12.
I created an SR with Oracle but they had to create an enhancement request for this issue. Does anyone know or have any idea on how we can accomplish this. The charting wizard pops up but the xml tags available do not make any sense.
If anybody has any idea please send me an email at [email protected]
Thanks,
Leo

How to create sub report in BI Publisher

Hi,
i have created sample report in BI Publisher .But I do not know how to create sub report in BI Publisher.
How to create parent-child report?
Can you provide details through example?
Thanks

This blog post seems to be quite useful: http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/01/formatting_html_with_templates.html
Also, there is a whitepaper: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/docs/BIP-SubTemplate.pdf
The focus is on formatting template for your report, but should have the same principals.

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
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/bi.1111/e22257/whatsnew.htm#CHDCDBCA
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.

Unable to create a reports server to test web.show_document in Forms 10.1.2

Hi all,
In Forms 10.1.2 DS, I'm trying to use the web.show_document built-in to 'generate' a report from a .jsp file. This JSP file was created by wizard through creating a report object in the Object Navigator. The code I'm using from a push button is as follows:
web.show_document('http://<hostname>:8889/reports/rwservlet?report=<dirpath>\Sales.jsp&userid=<username/password@connectstring&server=<server_name>'
As far as I am aware no 'reports server' has been created so I've tried the following command in a dos window:
rwserver -install <server_name>
but this just raises an 'alert' indicating that I should consult an installation guide to setup and install the server. So my questions are:
(1) Is what I'm trying to do supported in DS?
(2) What installation guide should I consult?
Any information on this would be gratefully appreciated,
Kevin.

Hi Inol,
Thanks for the response. I agree with the comment about exposing user details, I'm just doing a bit of experimenting at the moment! I tried to do what you suggest in terms of changing the URL but whether I reference the server or leave it out, the subsequent browser session seems to hang and then eventually I get a 'Page Not Found' response. On using the URL 'http://127.0.0.1:8889/reports/rwservlet/showenv?', I get an 'Access Denied' Error Page. Is there something additional I need to set up with regards to Reports to get this to work?
regards,
Kevin.

You can use the BAPI: BAPI_CUSTOMER_GETDETAIL2. In the EXPORT parameter you have a structure for Customer Addr. (CUSTOMERADDRESS LIKE BAPICUSTOMER_04).
The PO BOX is in BAPICUSTOMER_04-PO_BOX.
Hope this helps.

BPMon Alert Reporting - Query does not exist on server

Hello,
I am stepping through the BPMon Alert Reporting Analysis SP05+ guide. I am creating a report and have maintained the details with the template 0SM_BPM_WT0001N. When I try to access or preview the report I am faced with the following error:
The requested query 0SM_BPM1/0SM_BPM_Q0005N does not exist on the current server
Error when generating dataProvider
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Christoper
Another thought is, re-activate BPMon BW object.
Go to T-CD SOLMAN_SETUP -> Choose business process monitoring in left menu -> step 1.1
configure automatically. And execute all steps.
If you face some error due to BW job is nto running or something.
Then recommend re-execute BW job in SOLMAN_SETUP.
(Left menu ->Basic Configuration ->Step 5 configure automatically -> under the task you might see "Setup BW" so choose this and activate. Result of this, CCMS_BI_SETUP will run again. So chek whether there is active job in Sm37. After finish this job, try BPMon SOLMAN_SETUP that I mentioned above).
Best Regards
Keiji
