Creating xcelsius reports in boe3.1

Hello! Experts,
Please tell me how to develop xcelsius reports in boe3.1? I used Crystal Xcelsius for that purpose but it takes only excel sheets as datasource. My data would change as per day to day transactions so need to use odbc (for sqlserver) as datasource. Do we have something that would connect my database to that excel sheet?
Regards,
Grace

I think this is on the same lines as this question > HOW TO SET FR POV PER REPORT, NOT PER CONNECTION ?

Linking two xcelsius reports

Hi,
I want to hyperlink two xcelsius document. How to acheive the same? I have created the second visualization using flash variables. But I am unable to pass the parameters from my first report. If you can share the hyperlinking syntax that would be great.
I am using the following link to call the xcelsius report
http://localhost:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=4892&sKind=Flash&Range=France
Thanks and Regards,
Subbu S

Hi Ingo,
This xcelsius visualization is not built on SAP BI. Its the normal OLAP universe. I am unable to pass the value to my flash variable created in xcelsius report. All the documents give the syntax as http://<webserver:8080/../openDocument.jsp?IDocID=<value>&sKind=Flash&lsS<Flashvariable_name>= <param value>
But its not working for me in BOXI 3 environment. My xcelsius report is getting opened with the previously saved flash variable value.
Thanks and Regards,

Restrict User to Create Custom Reports

Hi
Can we restrict a user from creating custom reports in SPM, If yes how? We want that user can does not see the Create New Report Option
Regards
Neel

HI,
If the dashboars and reports for users are already so well defined, wouldn't offline Briefing Books give them the same information?
Also, if ad-hoc reporting and business user empowerment is not what you are looking for, it would also be easy to use SAP BusinessObjects BI tools, such as Xcelsius, on top of SPM data to provide those centrally defined dashboards and reports.
Finally, BW authorizations are very flexible and comprehensive. You can limit a user to a few dimensions on which he can drill down, to certain Key-Figures, to specific levels of the hierarchy. If you don't have such authorizations in place and want to control instead the selections the user can do, then using Xcelsius on top of SPM could give you that possibility.

XCelsius Report

Hi All,
I want to Creat a XCelsius Report and filter by Sales Employee . When we change a Sales Employee then Column Chart show
Sales OrderValue and GrossProfit .Please give me a suggesion how can i do this type of XCelsius Report.
Thamks InAdvance,
Surajit

Hi
This error message refers to the value placed in the File > Preferences > Excel Options > Maximum number of rows.
You can edit that value to be 3000.
Best practive would be to reduce as far as possible the number of rows in your dashboard model, though and I wouldn't recommend as high a value as this.

How to create a report to bring all data from two different Info providers

Hi All,
I have a peculier problem while creating a report. I have two custom info providers one DSO and another Cube. There are only two common fields between these two Info providers . I need to create a report such that the report displays all the values from DSO but user can have the selection option on one of the fields in the Cube.
Here is an example
DSO Contents:
DocNum-     DocItem-     DocText-     Amount-      Quantity
10000----     10----            ABC----          100----           10
10001----     20----     DSN----     200----     10
10005----     20----     DSN----     200----     10
Z1003----     10----     CAN----     500----     1
Cube Contents
DocNum-     DocItem-     Date-----          InvoiceAmt
10000----     10----     1/10/2009----         50
10001----     20----      2/20/2009----        100
10005----     20----      2/25/2009----        100
The report needs to be displayed as shown below when the user selects value for date from 1/10/2009 to 2/20/2009
DocNum-     DocItem-     DocText-     Amount-      Quantity
10000----     10----     ABC----     100----     10
10001----     20----     DSN----     200----     10
I hope this was clear for you to understand. I would really appricate if any one can answers about how to resolve this problem. I cannot add the date filed to DSO and I also have Doc Num and Item as the user selection fields in the report.
Thank you all in advance and i would really appreciate for your suggestions.
Regards

Hi chinna,
Two possible options, I can think of now, but both of them may be a compromise with performance.
1. create an infoset and then a query on top of it, provided we have a one to one relation in both the targets. That is, the combination of doc and item number is not duplicate in either cube or ODS.
2. Create a master data object of doc and item number and have date as an attribute. Load that from cube data and make date as navigational attr.
Use this navgntal attr for selection in your report.
Let us know, if you require any further info.

How to create a report for open sales orde documents which are not invoiced

Hi Experts this is urgent,
+pls give the Logic for document flow+
My requirement is create a report for sales orders which are not invoiced using the following table.
VBAK : sales order header
VBAP : sales order item
VBFA : sales document flow
VBUK for processing status
KOMV for duties value and sales order value
LIKP : delivery not header
LIPS :delivery note item
For information : In the header level the processing Status is indicated in the table VBUK field LFSTK for one sales order number. A,B , C are the possible entries.
Case A : When a sales order is invoiced we can display information on the header status :
Overall status : Completed and display a invoice number in the document flow. When the items of the sales orders are invoiced the process status is the following : Overall status Completed
Delivery status Fully delivered
Case B : An open sales order not delivered and not invoiced will have overall status : Open on the header and item level and will not have subsequent documents.
Case C :
When the items for the sales order are delivered but not invoiced the status will be u201Cfully deliveredu201D
And the subsequent documents will be delivery notes and good issue if the delivery note is issued.
With regards

How to create a report based on a DataSet programatically

I'm working on a CR 2008 Add-in.
Usage of this add-in is: Let the user choose from a list of predefined datasets, and create a totally empty report with this dataset attached to is. So the user can create a report based on this dataset.
I have a dataset in memory, and want to create a new report in cr2008.
The new report is a blank report (with no connection information).
If I set the ReportDocument.SetDataSource(Dataset dataSet) property, I get the error:
The report has no tables.
So I must programmatically define the table definition in my blank report.
I found the following article: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/869, and came up with something like this:
internal class NewReportWorker : Worker
      public NewReportWorker(string reportFileName)
         : base(reportFileName)
public override void Process()
         DatabaseController databaseController = ClientDoc.DatabaseController;
         Table table = new Table();
         string tabelName = "Table140";
         table.Name = tabelName;
         table.Alias = tabelName;
         table.QualifiedName = tabelName;
         table.Description = tabelName;
         var fields = new Fields();
         var dbField = new DBField();
         var fieldName = "ID";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         dbField = new DBField();
         fieldName = "IDLEGITIMATIEBEWIJS";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         // More code for more tables to add.
         table.DataFields = fields;
         //CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo info =
         //   new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
         //info.Attributes.Add("Databse DLL", "xxx.dll");
         //table.ConnectionInfo = info;
         // Here an error occurs.
         databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
         ReportDoc.SetDataSource( [MyFilledDataSet] );
         //object path = @"d:\logfiles\";
         //ClientDoc.SaveAs("test.rpt", ref path, 0);
The object ClientDoc referes to a ISCDReportClientDocument in a base class:
   internal abstract class Worker
      private ReportDocument _ReportDoc;
      private ISCDReportClientDocument _ClientDoc;
      private string _ReportFileName;
      public Worker(string reportFileName)
         _ReportFileName = reportFileName;
         _ReportDoc = new ReportDocument();
         // Load the report from file path passed by the designer.
         _ReportDoc.Load(reportFileName);
         // Create a RAS Document through In-Proc RAS through the RPTDoc.
         _ClientDoc = _ReportDoc.ReportClientDocument;
      public string ReportFileName
         get
            return _ReportFileName;
      public ReportDocument ReportDoc
         get
            return _ReportDoc;
      public ISCDReportClientDocument ClientDoc
         get
            return _ClientDoc;
But I get an "Unspecified error" on the line databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
What am i doing wrong? Or is there another way to create a new report based on a DataSet in C# code?

Hi,
Have a look at the snippet code below written for version 9 that you might accommodate to CR 2008, it demonstrates how to create a report based on a DataSet programmatically.

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
Karthik

Unable to create a report in bi publisher 10g

Hi All,
Unable to create a report in bi publisher. When we tried to create a report abcd, then it is giving the below error.
Operation failed: /abcd/abcd.xdo.
When we tried to create a report with the existing name, it is saying
An object with the same name already exists: /crm/crm.xdo
I can say this is not any permissions problem, I have logged inwith Administrator user.
Thanks

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.

Facing problem while creating a report on the value of a UDM in oem gc

Hi,
I have created a report in OEM grid control. I have selected a host for this. And I have selected an UDM from the metric list. The report works fine shows the correct graph in the report.
The problem is that along with the value from the respective udm , I am also getting the values from other metrics.
Between, I also noticed that the metric I selected is not highlighted when visited next time to the report edit page. I guess this could be the cause but dont know how to fix it. May be I am wrong, If any other issues or suggestions to my problem , Please Advise.
Thanks in advance.

It is 10.2.0.5. I guess it is a bug but where to check for confirmation.
Thanks.
