Customizing Task Reports

Hello,
I am somewhat new to MS Project 2013 (I learned on 2010) and I am trying to develop my skills with the reporting functions. For one of the projects that I lead, I want to develop a Task Dashboard that contains pertinent information and KPIs for the
project. I am almost done with the dashboard, but the last piece that I am struggling with is developing a custom chart.
Essentially, I want to build a chart that shows the % Complete status of all tasks. Therefore, the Y axis would be a range (say 0 -200 or whatever encompasses your total task count) and the X axis would have bars that show
the number of tasks in each % Complete category (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
200
150
100
50
0
0% 25% 50% 75% 100%

Dale,
Thank you for your help. I actually started down the path that you outlined and it was not really what I was looking for. It ends up just showing each task on the X axis and then the % complete. My goal was to limit the number of data points
and the message was intended to show how many tasks had not started (0%), how many tasks were in progress (25%, 50%, and 75%) and how many tasks were complete (100%).
For now, until I can figure out a better solution, I will go with the method you outlined, but the chart is very large and I believe the volume of data points dilutes the overall message.
Thank you for your feedback!
EDIT:
I should have clarified as well (because after re-reading I can see the confusion) that the only percent completes used for this project are 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. We only progress work in increments of 25%, so the chart would only have 5 columns
max.
Essentially, my problem would be solved if I could select Tasks (or # of tasks) as a field for a Cluster Chart and then group by %Complete. I cannot find any field options that would result in showing number of tasks (then group by whatever I want).

Creating a custom task that pulls an SCCM report

I currently have a custom task in SCSM that uses the web address of an existing ECCM report to list all computers with username. I want to make another task taht will allow the tech to enter the computer name and get the list of installed software from
SCCM. Using the iexplore.exe and the parameter address of the report doesn't allow them to enter the computer name, or to change it. That prompt normally comes up in SCCM before it opens the browser window, so I am not sure how to put that in as a parameter.

Are you using the executable exe file and the filename as a parameter in the custom task?

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,

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).

Creating Custom BI Reports from Oracle Agile PLM

Hi All,
Firstly apologies if this post is in the wrong forum, I struggling to find any real Oracle Agile Support.
I have been tasked with developing 3 custom BI reports for Oracle Agile. I have used BI Publisher in the past but only within Oracle E-Business Suite. From what I have seen so far Oracle Agile is a lot different.
What I need to understand is within Oracle Agile how do I create the XML Data file for the custom report, and then how do you then register the RTF template and run the report within Oracle Agile PLM.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Regards
Pete

Hi,
To develop custom report there are many way's. To discuss more Please send your contact details at [email protected]

Task Reports in IdM

Hello,
We need to produce a report which lists all the tasks that are not finished ,may be in any state suspended or executing.We have many custom workflows this report is supposed to produce a report on all pending tasks of one type e.g:
a report that lists all the taks of creating users workflow
a report that lists all the tasks of some custom workflow involving approvals.
I went through the reports section of IdM, there is one report called Task report that would list all the pending taks , but you cannot restrict them to one workflow.
But in the Tasks Tab -> Find Tasks - you can search a workflow , it will list all the instances of the workflow and its corresponding state.I exactly want the same in the report.I could make one template for each workflow.
How can we get this, any ideas,..
Thanks

Hi friends,
Thanks, for viewing the thread, I was able to figure out this,
I added one more queryattr, it was queryattr.defName and passed the name of
workflow (or task definition).Then run the Task report with this new attribute.
Gr8 , your requirement is met.you see the results you wanted
Thanks,

Monitor task reporting

Monitor task reporting
Is there anyway to report on the Monitor Tasks in RC 2006 ??? I can not find this task in the Custom reports or the Standard reports.

What do you need to do with the Monitor Tasks?
The monitor tasks are not part of the reporting data model. They have different properties from other tasks, specifically they do not have many of the metrics or measures other tasks have, so modeling them is tricky.
If you can explain what you need to do with them, maybe we can figure out how to get the information some other way?

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 :-
http://docs.google.com/View?id=dfxswwff_11fdktr7ct
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...

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.

Create task from conversation thread in news feed - Task must be created in custom task list

Hi All,<o:p></o:p>
Have a new requirement
were user should be able to create a task for himself from a conversational
thread in News feed.<o:p></o:p>
In
SharePoint 2013 we have a functionality where we can follow up on a
conversation and it creates a task in My Tasks which is in My site.<o:p></o:p>
But my requirement
is to create a task in Tasks list in same site collection on click of follow
up.<o:p></o:p>
I have
tried one approach as below :<o:p></o:p>
My Tasks in
My site is an aggregated view of all tasks assigned to the logged in user. When
i follow a task in News feed a personal task is created in My task
(WmaAggregatorList_User internal name) list. When i Edit the personal task and
change the Projects
drop down to the required Project Name and Check -"Make this task public to project
members" it just creates a task is specific Site and moves
the task.<o:p></o:p>
I tried to
find if Projects and Check box are columns of Task list , but did not find any
columns.<o:p></o:p>
I am trying
to create a event receiver which would make these columns be set to Site Name
and check box checked so that when user creates a task it will directly move to
Custom Task list.<o:p></o:p>
Please
guide <o:p></o:p>

Thank you for your responce. I used a content query wp to rollup only the Major Milestones, but am unable to overlay the results to a calendar.. The link you provided is for overlaying different task lists onto a calendar, but does not detail how to

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.
