Custom metadata reports in ODI

Hi,
does ODI provide any means to create (and access) custom metadata reports on the metadata that resides the ODI repository?
Cheers,
Simon

Thanks! I know about the ODI Console.
But what I'm looking for is custom reports which I can create to query the metadata and have the results presented in a way I can choose. Ideally the results can be exported as a PDF file.
For example: I want a list of all fields in my data sources that have not been used in any way yet and have them printed in a table alongside with other contextual information (e.g. FlexField values).

Reverse engineer custom Z reports from SAP in ODI

Hi all
We are in the process of integrating SAP to ODI. While reverse engineering, I can see only the SAP tables in the Metadata browser. Is it possible to reverse engineer the custom Z reports created by the customer? These reports typically access multiple tables.
Thanks

Custom KM Reports: parameter's labels translation

Hi folks,
we are facing a problem about custom KM reports development.
Currently we have developed one new report according Thilo's how to guide and according the code of a standard one.
The report seems works fine, but we are not able to translate its labels within the parameters tab.
For example, we have defined a parameter like this:
m_repository = new PropertyName("http://sap.com/test/", "Destination");
m_parameterDefinitions.put(m_repository, new PropertyDef(PropertyType.STRING, false, true, false, false, false));
m_parameterDefaults.put(m_repository, "documents");
m_meta = ReportInputMeta.getInstance(m_parameterNames, m_parameterDefinitions, m_parameterDefaults);
and also we have defined a KM Property with a property ID and a Unique ID equals to "Destination", a namespace alias which contains "http://sap.com/test/", a Metadata Extention which points to a bundle file and set a key for label value contained into bundle file as describe in Thilo's guide.
At this point, if we check into report's properties, we can find this property correctly translated, but if we open the Parameters tab, for starting the report, the label related to that parameter is not translated.
Do you have experienced something like this? Do you have any suggestions about that?
We are running on EP NW04S.
Many thanks
Cheers
Roberto

Hi Julian,
finally I find my trouble. I followed your suggestions and also I verified that NWDS doesn't include properties files within the jar which contains report classes, this was the main reason of my issue.
I activated the option "Yes, I wanted the non java sources included into the portal component jars", under Windows --> Preferences --> SAP Enterprise Portal --> Application Developement Studio" and magically all work fine
Thank you again for your help
Good bye
Roberto

Custom metadata fields?

I'm trying to find a way to create custom metadata fields so I can better organize my footage. For example, say I'm filming a bunch of old cars, and I want to sort them by make and model, obviously there's no make and model field by default. I've read articles that say this is possible, but I can't seem to find a way to do it. Thanks!
Edit: And related to that, is there a way to delete any of the metadata fields? Since I'm doing video, I'd rather not have to scroll through things like Album and Artist, etc. Thanks.

In the Metadata panel open the flyout menu in the upper right and choose "Metadata Display..."
Now you can turn off the metadata schemas you're not interested in seeing.
Now click the New Schema button.
Give your new Schema a name.
Now click the Add Property button next to your new custom schema.
Give it a name, like "Make", of type "Text".
Then do the same again for "Model".
Now you can select a set of clips all of the same make then enter what you'd like into the "Make" field and that metadata will be applied to the selected clips.
This is searchable, so in the Project panel you can search for the text you've entered into one of these fields and only clips containing that metadata will appear in the list (next to the search box Prelude reports "(filtered)" to let you know you're not currently seeing all of your clips.
I hope this helps!

Hi
i think we can get report from ABAP Query. we have to write Query using tables and select fields, then we can get customer payment report.

Problem in making logic for customer balance report

Hi,
I am working on a customer balance report in which i am picking the data from BSAD and BSID tables. I am facing a problem that i am able to calculate the opening balance in it but not able to calculate closing balance. I am comparing the data with tcode FBL5N for opening and closing balances for a given date range. Kindly help me out where i am getting wrong:-
Here the link to the code :-

Edited by: nav009 on Feb 6, 2010 9:30 AM

Hi Nikhil,
Thanks for you response but i had developed the report and i am able to pick the correct data but i am facing the problem in displaying the NETAMT which is displaying the data using this formula :-
1.) NETAMT = NETAMT + W_TAB1-DR + W_TAB1-CR.
so that the last value matches with the closing balance.
When i am using this formula i am not able to display the correct data of deducting or addition of the opening balance in it but the value matches with closing balance .
2.) NETAMT = NETAMT + W_OPBAL-OPBAL + W_TAB1-DR + W_TAB1-CR.
When i am using this formula it is showing the first value correctly but not the last one which will be displayed in the closing balance.
I want to have desired output to display the first value to be displayed as it is showing in the (2) and last value to be displayed as it is showing in (1) last value.
How can i achieve this functionality? i really want to know...

Upgrade from 11i to R12 - Custom Forms,Reports and Workflows

Dear Community Friends,
We are planning for upgrade from oracle apps 11.5.10.2 to R12.
We have custom Forms,Form Libraries,Reports and Workflows.
Kindly provide me for approach on how to migrate Custom form libraries,reports and Workflows.
I beleive, this thread will exists as one shot point for custom forms,reports,workflow upgradation from 11i to r12 with detailed steps.
I know that many links exists here in the forum for all the above objects mentioned,but still from all those i am able to get a clear picture for oracle forms but not for custom form libraries ,reports and workflows.
Also,this post will provide a low level,practical picture of the steps for those who are in line with this.
Links i have read for all these in our forum are:
For Custom Forms,
Re: Planning to upgrade from 11i to R12
Re: Custom forms: After upgrading 11i to R12
ofcourse,'n' number of links exists providing metalink notes also.
Hussain,Helios and some others also has given many updates regd this.
For custom workflow upgradation,
Upgrade Workflow 11i to R12
Workflow Upgrade
Workflow Upgrade
For reports,links mentioned the below metalink notes:
Do Not Compile EBS R12 Reports Using rwconverter.sh or Reports Builder from IDS 10gR2 [ID 786794.1]
Using the OracleAS 10.1.2 Forms and Reports Builders with Oracle Applications Release 12 [ID 444248.1]
Per my understanding, after searching in many threads,i am here by summarising the practical low level steps for custom forms migration
Please correct me,if i am wrong.
1) Download the Forms(.fmb's) and all PLL's(all the PLL from resource folder in AU_TOP) into a Local Machine Folder
2) Open the forms using Forms Developer 10G and connect to DB
3) Compile by clicking compilein Forms Developer and then save it.
4) Upload the Saved Forms(.fmb's) into the new R12 server(system) in the respective custom paths(paths similar to 11i Server)
5) Compile all the forms using the command like below(example command is shown below or f60 gen commands or frmcmp.sh utility) in the respective custom form paths,
this will generate the .fmx's.
frmcmp_batch module=FORMNAME.fmb userid=apps/apps output_file=FORMNAME.fmx compile_all=yes
Link for compiling forms: https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=359210362972527&type=DOCUMENT&id=1085928.1&displayIndex=3&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=c348xvwbg_98
6) Open the form and check in R12 instance
As per my understanding for custom form libraries,we can just copy paste the PLL's from 11i server to R12 server (Please correct me,if i am wrong)
Can anyone please help me out in custom reports and custom workflows.Sorry that,i could not get a practical and clear picture for reports and also for workflow even after referring many threads and metalink notes mentioned.
As for reports,some says that Developer Suite 10g can be used and .rdf can be used in R12.
Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.
Thanks,
Ganesh

Some says that reports should be converted to XML published as reports does not exists in R12.
So,i am not clear on this.You can still use RDF files in R12, and just follow the approach you mentioned above, and you do not have to migrate them to XML publisher (though it is recommended, but this can be done after the upgrade as an enhancement task).
For custom workflow, you need also to do the same thing, open them using workflow builder and make sure they work in R12 (correct the code if required and save them again in R12 once they work properly).

Can I use Report Manager to distribute customized oracle reports?

Hi,
Can I use Report Manager to distribute customized oracle reports, other than FSG reports?
If no, is there any function that can be used for distributing reports submitted from concurrent manager in r12.1.2?
Thanks for any advice!
HY

Pl post details of OS and EBS versions.
>

I am not sure - pl ask your friendly Oracle salesperson if this functionality is included in your license.
>

Another option could be to use XML/BI Publisher - again, you will need to check if your license includes distributing custom reports.

SGD Exchange Rate Difference JE appears in Customer Aging Report

Dear Experts,
SAP Version: 8.81
Local Currency: SGD
We perform Exchange Rate Difference for a USD BP to calculate the unrealized gain/loss during month-end, JE created successfully.
Next, we go to Customer Aging Report and select this USD BP.
When i choose to view the Aging Report in Local Currency, the USD Invoice will appear in SGD + Exchange Rate Difference JE in SGD, the total balance can appear in SGD with no problem.
When i choose to view the Aging Report in BP Currency, the USD Invoice will appear in USD + Exchange Rate Difference JE in SGD, i can't see the total balance as it is appeared as xxxxx.
Above is the behaviour in 881.
Last time in SAP 2005, when i choose to view the Aging Report in BP Currency, the Exchange Rate Difference JE in SGD will not appear, therefore i can see the total balance in USD.
What is your opinion about the behavior in 881? Will you consider it as design or issue?
Thanks.
Regards,
Lay Chin

Dear all,
This problem is no longer there when upgrade to 881 Patch 08.

Hi ,
are you running report from SAP ? if so , Run SAP as administrator(right click on SAP icon and click run as administrator) and run report - it will work fine .
if ypu are running report directly from crystal report , run crystal report as administrator.
or change crystal report connection from SAP business one to OLEDB and update datasource.
Thanks,

Shipping customized BOL report needs to be printed from 'Print BOL' button

Hi All,
We have requirement whereby
Our customized Bill of Lading (BOL) report should be printed when ‘Print BOL’ button is clicked on shipping transaction form. Can this be achieved with any setup change? (we would like to check this option before going for customization)
Our customized BOL report is ready and as of now we print it by manually submitting concurrent request. As of now clicking ‘Print BOL’ button submits Oracle seeded/standard BOL report.
(Oracle EBS R12.1.3)

This is the Acrobat.com forum. Your question will have a much better chance being addressed in the Acrobat SDK forum.

In A3, How Do I Apply One Of My (many) Custom Metadata Views To The Viewer?

In A3, it appears that both the Viewer and Browser are limited to just 2 views: Basic and Expanded.
In A2, I had many custom metadata views that I could easily change via the Metadata-pane (now gone) in Prefs. depending on the type of workflow, customer needs, etc.
Now, if I'm limited to just 2, I'll have to go in and manually change the composition of A3's 2 views for each workflow. If this is the case, I see it as a big step backwards. This is the type of limitation that iPhoto often has, and flexibility is what I expect from a Pro-App.
I spent a great deal of time developing custom metadata views for various workflows so that I could align the various displays in Aperture to each workflow. What do I do now?

Just stumbled over this thread:
Yes, its the truth. There is no way to quickly change the display of Metadata in Browser or List View.
You can tell from the form of the Settings - Window (Command - J) that there is no way anymore. You have one Standard View, and one Extended.
Strange. I did not use it a lot, I always display pictures to customers with no metadata, except when we do a selection on site (and then its standard with only rating).
