Customized report result file name?

Hi,
If we schedule a report, can we give different name to the resultant report file?
For example report file name is ABC_REPORT.rdf and output format is HTML and scheduled daily at 2:00AM.
0n 08/15 report output should be ABC_REPORT_08150200.HTML and 0n 08/16 report output should be ABC_REPORT_08160200.HTML and so on.
Is it posiible? If so, where we need prepare the report output file name?
Thank you,
Prasad

Hi Prasad
In before report trigger you can create the desired name using value from your user parameters and set the value for desname parameter. This would solve your issue.
Thanks

RDL reports(2008).File name after using Export to Excel is not comming properly in mozilla firefox.

I am using Export to Excel functionality in rdl report.
File name should be "Profitabilty By Buyer". It is working as expected in IE and chrome.
But in mozilla firefox the file name appears as "Profitabilty".
So the issue is it doesnt consider anything after space and user requirement is such that I cant put underscore("_") also instead of space.
Kindly suggest the proper solution.

Hi Mukesh,
Reporting Services, we use a Web browser to view the report that deploy to Report Service. However, not all report functionally is supported by all browsers. Such as, the print button is not supported in Mozilla Firefox. It works only in Internet Explorer
due to it uses ActiveX for the print button.
I have tested it on my local environment, (SQL Server Reporting Services 2008, Firefox 28.0), we cannot reproduce this issue. So the issue can be the custom setting of your browser. Since SSRS reports are not about targeting NON-IE browsers, so in your scenario,
we recommend you use IE to view report on Report Manager.
And you said that you cannot put underscore ("_") also instead of space. However we can do this which you can see on the screenshot below.

When I save a PDF report the file name is xdo instead of "report name.pdf"

Hi,
I started a new project with BI Publisher integrated with OBIEE, I builded a set of reports that are working properly (these are the first reports on this OBIEE/BIP server)
Accessing Oracle BI Cataloge I can run the reports and change the output format to pdf.
when I press the right mouse button and select "save as" a dialog box appears.
On the "File name" field, the default name that BIP writes is "xdo" I would like it to be the "name of the report.pdf".
It seems that if I create a new report the file name is correct but if I change the name of the report then BIP always selects XDO as the default file name.
Is there any place where I can configure the default name.

Thanks for the quick reply. I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging. For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option. Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar. Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet. Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.

Product Tables vs Custom Report Results

I was recently asked to provide an installation list of Adobe Reader to one of my coworkers. This is simple enough - under the Asset Inventory/Workstation Inventory Tab in the Custom Reports I have created a simple report to show me where Adobe Reader is installed and I get results.
If I run the same type of report in the Asset Management/Software Management Tab Custom Reports again looking for Adobe Reader I get results.
However, if I look for that product in either the Product Catalog or Discovered Catalog I get zero results. I thought that for ZAM to be able to report on a piece of software that it should appear as either a Product or Discovered Catalog Product. Can someone explain why I am getting these results when I look in either of the Catalogs?

You should be able to see it in the Discovered Products list. I suspect you don't have the correct search criteria set in the column on the left. select 'All Products' in all the View fields on the left and 'Filter by' = Value and 'Field name' = product and 'Search string' = acrobat. This works for me and brings up all the products with acrobat in their name installed in our envirnoment.
The Product Catalog isn't what you think it is. Products are added by the user and represent the form the licences come in. Read the online help on the Product Catalog.

Accessing Enterprise report's file name and path in VBS

I am trying to capture the name and location of reports within the input store. I want to create a file that contains the ID, Report Title, Path and File Name. Here is the snippet of code I have so far:
Set SessionManager = CreateObject("CrystalEnterprise.SessionMgr")
set Sess = SessionManager.Logon(usr,psw,aps,sec)
set iStore = Sess.Service ("", "InfoStore")
set reports = iStore.Query("SELECT SI_ID,SI_NAME FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_INSTANCE = 1 AND SI_RUNNABLE_OBJECT = 1 and SI_NAME LIKE 'PCTCR%' )
for each report in reports
File = report.Item(1)
filetxt.WriteLine( Cstr(report.id) & "," & report.title & "," & Path & "," & FileName)
next
In looking at the Query Builder, I see SI_FILE1 and SI_PATH in the SI_FILES property bag contain the information I want. I am having difficulty finding an example of how to extract this information.
If someone can supply the missing pieces of code it would be greatly appreciated.

I have found the answer I was seeking. Just in case someone else would like to have it, I am posting a snippet of my code:
        Console.WriteLine("Capturing report information")
        Dim reports = iStore.Query("SELECT TOP 5000 SI_ID,SI_NAME,SI_PARENT_FOLDER,SI_FILES FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_KIND = 'CrystalReport' AND SI_INSTANCE = 0 ORDER BY SI_ID")
        Dim TotalRpts = reports.count
        Dim Cnt = 0
        For Each report In reports
            Cnt = Cnt + 1
            Console.Write("Processing report " & CStr(Cnt) & " of " & CStr(TotalRpts) & vbCr)
            FolderString = ""
            sFolder = report.properties("SI_PARENT_FOLDER")
            BuildFolder(sFolder.value) ' this code can be found in a number of places
            File = report.Properties("SI_FILES").Properties("SI_FILE1")
            Path = report.Properties("SI_FILES").Properties("SI_PATH")
            If Left(Path.value, 12) = "frs://Input/" Then Path = Right(Path.value, Len(Path.value) - 12)
            Path = InputStorePath & Path.Replace("/", "\")
            File = Path & File.value
            filetxt.WriteLine(CStr(report.id) & Comma & Quote & report.title & Quote & Comma & Quote & FolderString & Quote & Comma Quote & File & Quote)

Custom report definition file (.rdf) not working in release 12

I have created a custom report XXX_VENDORS.rdf and uploaded to the server. While executing the concurrent program, it asks for XXX_VENDORS.rep file. How can I execute an .rdf file in Release 12?

While executing the concurrent program, it asks for XXX_VENDORS.rep file.rdf files should work with R12. The CM would ask for the .rep if it could not find the .rdf file. Please make sure you have uploaded the file to <PROD>_TOP/reports/<lang> directory.

Dynamic report output file name

Hi,
I am generating a report using web interface by sending http string with required parameters.
Each time I run this report I am appending current date & time (mmddyyhhmm) string to the output file name.
Successfully I am able to get the outputs.
For example:
If report runs at 9:30am then MyReportOutput_0205040930.html
If report runs at 12:45pm then MyReportOutput_0205041245.html
But, I am facing the problem when I schedule the report. I want to append the report run date & time to the output file for scheduled runs.
Is it possible?
Please advise.
Thank you,
Prasad

hi,
for that you will have to use reports distribution. in the distribution XML file you can specify data fields from the report for various attributes, including the output file name.
you will have to create a column in your datamodel that creates this timestamp and then add it to your report name.
see the distribution/bursting example here on OTN for further information. click onthe getting started link on the reports homepage and then navigate to the INDEX. there you will find an overview of all the examples available.
thanks,

Custom 'Save As' file name for cfdocument

I have a page that generates a PDF (genPDF.cfm). When the
user attempts to save it, it saves as genPDF.pdf. Is there any way
that when they go to save it, I can dynamically name the document?
I am using Blue Dragon 7 here so any cool CF8 additional tags are
not accessible. I know, sucks, right? Thanks!

no clue about BD, but in CF you would use a combination of
<cfheader>
and <cfcontent> tags to tell the web server how to
serve the file, what
mime type it is, what its name is and where to get the real
file from.
all details are in the cfml reference/livedocs. no clue if BD
has such
tags, but i would be surprised if it didn't...
<cfheader name="Content-Type" value="application/pdf">
<cfheader name="Content-Disposition" value="attachment;
filename=My_Super_Wicked_PDF.pdf">
<cfcontent type="application/pdf"
file="D:\MyFiles\Docs\PDF\This_PDF_is_actually_lame.pdf"
deletefile="No">

OSX - When I 'save all' attachments the resultant file name has %20 instead of spaces.

When I choose save all attachments from an Email the attachments are saved in the required directory but all files that have a space in the filename end up with a %20 instead of the space.
eg. attachment received "My new file.pdf" becomes "My%20new%20file.pdf" when saved into a directory.
This does not happen when I save each file individually. Which is my current workaround.
Any thoughts on how to solve this?
Running Thunderbird 31.2.0 with Exquilla
I just checked whether it is something to do with Exquilla/Exchange. The problem I am seeing is with Emails to an Exchange account. I just forwarded an Email to another of my Email accounts and when I did 'save all' on the received attachments they saved without the %20. Which gives me another work around but...

I might be able to experiment with this a little.
Are you running a recent version of Outlook Web App (i.e., Exchange 2010)?
When you save files using IE, what format are they in (e.g., EML, RTF, HTML)?

Dynamic file name for report export to csv

If "Enable CSV output" = "YES" for a report region titled "Invoices", the default file name is "Invoices.csv". If I have a parameter, Pn_MONTH, for the month (e.g. Jan 2010, Feb 2010, etc.) and the report only shows data for that month, I would like to have the resulting file named "Invoices_Jan_2010.csv".
I've tried setting the Report Export Filename to "Invoices_&Pn_MONTH..csv" and setting the region title to be "Invoices_&Pn_MONTH." but the resulting file name is coming up as "Invoices_.csv"'. I even tried "Invoices_:Pn_MONTH.csv" just to be sure but that makes it "Invoices_:Pn_MONTH.csv"'.
How can I get this to work?

This same method works for generating dynamic column headings from other page items, but I've never tried it for the download file name.That's the problem. The parameter P_MONTH is itself a page item and this is not consistent with other dynamic substitution. Looking at the page source, the export link is
f?p=102:9:8985946323211742:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R2805111921107129_en-uswhere presumably "FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R2805111921107129_en-us" is an application process and "2805111921107129" is the internal id of the region. The filename is not part of the link.

Action hard codes custom file name

I recorded an action to crop and save for web. I have done this 1000's of times over the years, but in CS6 it is hardcoding a Custom File Name, and in the wrong format too boot.
I am saving as JPG only and accepting the default name, which should leave me with an action that has no custom name, yet it does, and the custom name is of an HTML file name.
So, when I run my action, it names every single file the same name, and never creates a jpg.
This is a new bug in CS6. It wasn't here before.
I can't figure out how to get around it????
Kirk

Figured out a way to work around this, but it is irritating. Instead of my action doing this:
Flatten
Crop (user interaction)
Save For Web
Close (without saving)
I have to do this:
Flatten
Save as JPG (in same directory where I want the Web file to go)
Crop (user interaction)
Save For Web (Over top last saved file)
Close (without saving)
For some reason, when I use the save as JPG, it doesn't custom code the file name and when I save for web in the same place it also doesn't custom code the file name.
I never had to do this before in all the years of using this type of action, and I use it ALOT!
I have found that it sometimes does not hardcode the file name, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason.

XI 3.0 Publisher Function: "Pachage as Zip File" causes random file name

I found in XI 3.0 Publisher Function: "Pachage as Zip File" will lose control to each report's file name.
That is: The zip file I name it to: Report-2008-08-08-22-45-20.zip
In the zip: ~bcap_8d8553f0ca6b347942_1.xls; ~bcap_f94553f0ca6c247941_2.xls
I tried to set default value in Destination Job Server's Option, still can not control the report's name in the zip.
Any one can help? I don't think customer will accept to rename each report name in the zip file every time he receives email.
Thanks in advance!
Jennie

thats the normal thing happen with all the business Objects ,
when you export a report to the system it be exported to the repository and you will have no access to the physical storage, it managed automatic by the business objects CMS, which knows every report what and where, so it rename it to the random name as the CMS suggest
even you use the publisher wizard it do the same, and also when save Webi Report, Deski Report and Crystal Reports
all gets random names, and saved to the CMS file system and repository.
good luck
