Creating Dynamic Reports

I'm working on designing a reporting module that will create requested reports in PDF format that can be viewed or printed. We have a tool to generate the PDF called ITEXT. The goal is to make the formatting very flexible to avoid recompiling Java code when they want to modify a header or change a column name and to keep the formatting information in 1 place where several Web Servers can access them without restarting the servers (using Corba).
We have 10 different reports to create but they can choose various paremeter when viewing each report (date range, by family member, etc...).
I have reviewed several third party freeware tools such as JasperReports and DataVision. Just wondering if there are any tools out there that can help (that are free).

Hi bobbassen
You can take a look at the new Preferences API that is shipped along with JDK 1.4. This should help you in saving report structures in one place and help you modify it through a GUI without re-compilation.

Hi
I want to know that is it possible to create dynamic reports using netbeans? Dynamic reports means based on user selection(for eg. say by selecting values from combo boxes) some query will be genatated and fetch the query result from data base and displayed results in iReports only my problem is i am working on Netbeans IDE and i have installed iReports as plugins in netbeans IDE. and i am not able to find any tutorial that show me how to work with iReports under netbeans IDE. and how to create dynamic reports in iReports. If u know any such tutorial then can you send me link plz...!
Thanks

What do you mean by "in Start Menu"? Do you mean Live tile? See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh465403.aspx

The problem is with initial values of your lexical parameters. They should be so that even before obtaining their desired values in the trigger, they would create syntactically correct SQL returning as many columns and of appropriate types, as you expect the final SQL to produce. You can not manipulate the number and types of columns using lexical parameters, just the real mapping to the table columns. The number, the type, and the order of selected columns should be defined by initial values of lexical parameters.

Create dynamic report or query for piece count

Hi abaper's
This is a very straight forward requirement. so please give me code
First you have to get the corresponding plant from table T320 for the given warehouse numbers in the selection screen.
1. Get the sum of order qty of sales orders from the sales order tables for the given warehouse(Plant), distribution channel and the give date range.
2. Get the confirmed transfer orders qty from the TO master table where TO confirmation date is in the given date range and WH number.
3. Get the total PGIed qty from the delivery master table where PGI'ed date in the given date range, shipping point is in the corresponding plant of the WH and for the given distribution channel.
As you are going to use the major tables please try to write the select commands effectively to avoid further performance issues.

How to improve the performance fo this code.....this very urgent.

Creating Dynamic Reports at Runtime Using JRC

I am trying to integrate Crystal Reports into our web application. Our application currently provides the ability to create custom reports on any field(database column) in the application, including custom fields created by the user. Each customer's database will be different. Is there a way in Crystal Reports to dynamically build a report based on a custom query? I would need the ability to do this programmatically, through JSP, by adding and removing fields from a Crystal Report. My plan is to push the results of a query to a report viewer, but I need the ability to add, remove, resize, format or hide fields at runtime. I would also need the ability to modify the field headers and Group Header fields. Is this possible? Any suggestion or code samples would be greatly appreciated. I've read that RAS gives you some greater functionality creating and modifying reports at runtime. Does the RAS SDK include the functionality that I've described above?Thanks,Alan

Creating dynamic report on a join

I'd like to create a dynamic report on something like this
select a.name, b.gender
from employees a, gender b
where a.gender_id=b.gender_id;
to get this
NAME GENDER
bob male
fred male
sally female
instead of this which is not that useful to the end user...is it possible?
SQL> select name, gender_id from employees;
NAME GENDER_ID
bob 1
fred 1
sally 2

Hello:
>
I'd like to create a dynamic report on something like this

Why not simply use this query for the report ? What needs to be 'dynamic' here ?

Creating dynamic reports with overflowing columns

I'm working on designing a reporting module that will create reports in PDF format that can be viewed or printed. The reports will have overflowing columns and rows. The user will be able to specify the columns and will also be able to justify placing of logos in the header.
I am reviewing several tools like Dynamic PDF Generator for Java, and was wondering if there other tools that can help. The tools can either be free or paid.

Hi John,
It's a lot of processing but using the formula on the position of the column may work for you... Right click on the field and select Size and Position and then click on the X2 button and then write a formula based on some logic that determines if and where the column is displayed.
If the second column is always there then just hide the 3rd column... but if the 3rd column needs to be moved to the second columns position then you have to determine if the value is true or false and if the second column does exist etc....
Sorry I don't have any samples but I'm sure someone out there does.... Or can provide details if you need them.
Thank you
Don

Create Dynamic reports

Post Author: Thomas Gyllencreutz
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi!In Crystal Reports 8.5 there is 2 functions AddTextObject and AddFieldObject that allows me to add objects on-the-fly on a blank report. I cant find these methods anywhere in Business Objects XI Release 2. Is there another way of adding objects text and field objects at runtime?The problem is that I dont know what data the dataset will contain at design-time. The dataset is filled with data based on a user created SQL string and the user is allowed to decide what outpfileds they want in the report. And the final thing is to generate a report that they can preview and maybe print/export to pdf or whatever they wanna do with it.I have scanned the forum and web and found lots of articles that describes almost everything but this problem. Any suggestions what to do?Im using: Visual Studio 2005Business Objects XI R2The solution has to be 100% VB .NET (no activex components)The application is a Client application (no serverside generated reports)RegardsThomas Gyllencreutz

CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi I am trying to do something very similar, and I have found that you can create objects in Crystal Reports XI R2 SP2 and later. I am currently using SP3 and have found a way to create report objects, but I am relativly new to Crystal Reports and I am not sure how to set the values. You create the object by using classes found in the CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel namespace. You can then add the object to the report through the ReportClientDocument. If anyone knows how to set the values of Report objects, such as text objects, please point me in the right direction.ThanksChris

Dynamic Reports in java application

Hi,
I want to create dynamic reports in an java standalone application, I have downloaded the Jfreereport <http://sourceforge.net/projects/jfreereport>
I'm not sure, whether it could get data from a JDBC source. (or is there anyother solution to generate dynamic reports in a java application?).
Thanks in advance,
Payam

I generate reports from a webserver ( Tomcat ) in PDF using iText ( www.lowagie.com/iText ). It works great. JFreereport is also using this iText and you shouldn't have any problems using JDBC. Try to read the tutorial first about iText first. This will give you an idea how JFreereport works.

How to create Dynamic Webi 3.1 filename in Publication

I have a webi 3.1 report that is being called from a publication used for bursting using the eFashion universe. I want the file name to be dynamic, based on the profile. Within the webi report I created a free standing cell that I set to "Western States" or "Eastern States" based on the states in the report at the time of the run (set by the profile). This works correctly. But there does not seem to be a way to get the report to use the free standing cell value as part of the report name. From the publication, properties, destinations, use specific name I can only pick title and document name. Neither of these is the free standing cell in the report. I saw that version 4.0 has this ability but I can't upgrade for another year and deski is not an option. Any suggestions? Thank you.

I figured out how to create dynamic report names with 2 fields within the Publication tool. I padded fullname and email in dynamic recipients to be the two fields I wanted from the report. Then in Destinations, File Name:, Use specific name I picked userfullname and email address to create the report name. But that would not work if I actually needed to use the email address to send the report to. We don't have Java programmers and may have to find other options. Thanks.

How to create a report with dynamic columns

Hi all,
I am using Apex 4.0 with Oracle 10g
I am creating a report and I need to display columns dynamically based on the item values.
example:
I have a table employee with columns name, designation, sal
In the report page i have a select list with designations and when I select a designation from the select list,
I need to display the names of the employees horizontally,
like each name as a new column in the report with that particular designation. and same has to continue when I select different designations.
Can some one help me how we can do that.
I appreciate your answer
Thanks,
Rik

Essentially you want to write a pl/sql function which returns a varchar2 string. The contents of the string must be a valid sql statement.
Once you have done this, you need to add a report region as type sql report and you will have the option of writing it as a query or as a function returning query. Choose function returning query and enter in the function call.
Note your function must be valid, and must be executable by your apex parsing schema.
example:
create or replace
function test_report( p1_tablename in varchar2)
return varchar2
is
v_query varchar2(4000);
begin
v_query :=
'SELECT * from '||p_tablename;

It sounds like you're defeating the power and purpose of Crystal Reports, or replace it with pure PHP (which I suppose could be done... but why?)
What exactly are you trying to do?
If you're trying to make certain parts of the report hide or reveal or change depending on variables settings in the PHP file, that's easy enough to accomplish by sending parameters with your PHP values into the report. But the dynamic actions really need to be done within the report itself, accomplished through ample use of the section and field settings provided within the Report Designer.

How to create dynamic Invoice report based on Tax calculations

Hi Ppl,
I have an invoice report requirement. There are multiple line items in invoice and each line item will have a tax % and discount associated with it. Discount has to be applied at line item level. Tax will be applicable on resultant amount which respect to tax share on total amount. Below is example
Part# Tax Qty UnitPrice Amount Discount Net Value
1 12.5% 40 10 400 100 300
2 12.5% 50 20 1000 200 800
3 4% 10 30 300 50 250
 SubTotal 1350
 VAT 12.5% on 1100(300+800) 137.50
 VAT 4% on 250 10
 Total Amount 1497.5
I have created a static rtf which does all calculations correctly. I have hardcoded 12.5 and 4 % tax values for calculations. But issue is that taxes are changeable in future so I want to create dynamic template which takes care for tax calculations. I thought of to create an array to store distinct tax values from XML data and then to perform calculation but don’t know how to do that.
Can some body help me out as this is very critical and urgent?
Note: Tax calculation can be done at line item level itself but there are some scenarios where additional discounts are there so tax calculation can not be done at line item level.
Below is the sample XML data
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ListOfBipActionTest>
- <Action>
<AccountId>1</AccountId>
<PartName>17211KCC900LS</PartName>

Dear Efstratios Kara,
I installed SAP Integration Kit 3.1. Yes I installed the integration kit after installing CR.
I have uninstalled the earlier version and i have reinstalled CR with (12.3.0.601) version.
But still i cant view the SAP connectivity. can u tell me from which version they have included this connectivity option in CR.
If CR going to support SAP Table connectivity on specific version, what is that version.
Waiting for your reply.

How can i create an dynamic report in Java

hello everybody,
I want to make dynamic reports in Java. Report contain data and images with good layout.. such as crystal reports presentation..
Reports fields decided at run time or we can say that it is generated according to user requirement...
can it is possible in Java. If it is then which tool is better for it..
please suggest me.. this is very urgent requirement for me...

i don't know what types of tools are avaiable in market... Tools for what? You still didn't tell us what exactly you want to do.
i just imagin that
"An user create a database dynamically on server
databaseNobody "dynamically creates a database".
and he decide reports desgin according to
his requirement..... we provide an control for this
type possibilities....."
so this is question is build in my mind.. so i
forward this question to this forums..
I am just going to check the physibility of my mind
imagination...Feasibility you mean. IMHO, the feasibility of creating that stuff yourself is very low. Reinventing the wheel usually doesn't make it better, and it's likely to be more expensive to pay you for creating an inferior solution (not because of lack of skills, but simply because the available products had a few years time to grow, feature-wise) than to simply buy the licenses. Look at Crystal Reports or JFreeChart or Jasper Reports. Or use Google to look up J2EE-based reporting libraries. There might be more.
Which of these is best, I don't know, I never used any of those. Also, the definition of "best" changes with the requirements. What's better, a Ferrari or a truck?
