Data Insight - Firstlogic IQ Insight Reporting Engine

We have Data Insight installed (Windows 2003), occasionally (twice a week) the reporting engine ceases exporting reports.
Attempting to stop the "Firstlogic IQ Insight Reporting Engine" windows service fails and the only remedy is to restart the server.
Is anybody else experiencing this?

Hi Maurice,
This is a known issue with the data insight reporting engine. You cannot stop it from within the Windows services console. The only thing you can do to stop it would be to actually kill the process within Task Manager. make sure the service is set to startup as Manual then and you can always reboot and then it won't start up on the restart of the server if you want to leave it stopped.
Hope this help.

Data Services vs Data Insight

Hello SDN Members,
I'm having difficulties understanding the differences between "Data Services" and "Data Insight".
I google it but still want to see more response about them to propose for a POC kind of work.
Read guides about both not completely satisfied.
Sam

With Data Services - you can install Data Quality and Data Integrator (they are merged within the Data Services installation - provided you have the correct keys.).
Data Insight is a seperate installation that is basically a full blown profiling tool that also works with Data Quality. The coolest thing about Data Insight are the reports you can build on top of Data Quality - namely a Truth Query. the truth query uses components of Data Quality (Mainly the Address Engine and Address dictionaries) to give you an accurate profile or 'truth' about you addresses. It can give you the number of good addresses, bad addresses, fixable addresses with Data quality, and unfixable addresses with data quality. It can also determine potential duplicate addresses as well. these statistics are EXTREMELY helpful when doing a data migration or if you merely want to cleanse your data.
If you do not have Data Insight, but you do have data quality - you can do a basic dataflow to cleanse addresses in DQ and then run the Data Quality reports within the Management console in Data Services.

Data Insights Dashboard Run Error

Hello all,
I have a few column queries defined in Data Insights. I want to make these part of a Dashboard Report. When creating the report I am able to save the report as one would expect. Then, when I try to run the report I get an error message from Data Insights.
Error: Ora-01843: not a valid month
None of the column queries are date columns and the only date on the run dashboard report screen is the one to select the date range to return the dashboard summary from. These are drop down, calendar picker entries.
Any ideas on what the error is or how to get around it?
Thanks,
Ryan

Ryan,
I think your issue might have to do with the nls_date_format variable that is being used by Oracle Client. It is usually something like this:
NLS_DATE_FORMAT = "MM/DD/YYYY"
You might want to check to make sure that the setting is the same everywhere (your desktop, the Query Engine, and the database where your repository is located).
My guess is that one of them is using a different data format and that it is causing you to get this error when it tries to generate the dashboard report based date range.

Time taken to replicate campaigns from Eloqua into the Insight reporting tool

I have found there seems to be a delay in the campaign metrics for active campaigns getting into the reporting tool so that I can extract them for sales follow up. Does anyone know how long this is supposed to take?

Hello,
For Insight Reporting it can take up to 24 hours for metrics to show up in reporting found in Insight. For more "real time" data try clicking in the asset (ie campaign or email etc) and click on the gear-cog --> settings --> Operational Reporting. These reports show the most up to date data. The down side to this data is it is only able to show you up to the last 3 months worth of data.
I hope this helps!

Running Data Insight as a service on a 2008 server

Hi
I am trying to run the Data Insight engine as a service on Windows server 2008.
The service is created and started but when the GUI starts it does not see that the engine is running as a service
Any thoughts

Hi
well that makes sense, I did't see the transport files you mentioned in the Transport Queue in the
ERP system.
But, in KB 1971036 it is explained that the newer transport files should be imported from
OSS Note 1916294 after deleting the functions /BODS/BODS. (see attachment)
Do you think I should import first the transport files from the Admin
directory, then reimport those from note 1916294 or not ?

Robert

Hello,
I am working in an enviorinement in which Data Services has been installed on remote server and i access it using Remote desktop. Now i need to install Data Insight and i am not sure where should Data Insight be installed. should it be installed on my local machine or on remote server. If on remote server, can i install it from my local machine?
Thanks
Adi

What was your solution?

Does Data Insight 12.1 support VSAM files?

And how about non relational sources (such as mainframe files) other than flat files? If it doesn't now, is there any plan to add the support in a future release?
Thanks,
Larry

Bev,
Thanks for your reply! I installed Data Insight 12.1 on my laptop but couldn't find the "EDAOLEDB Provider" you mentioned when creating connections. What is it? Is it something I need to download and install on my own? I can only find some very outdated information about this provider on the Internet (in 1999).

How can I edit custom query in Data Insight

1. Whenever I click the edit sql query by right clicking on the custom query, the system hangs up and does not proceed further
2. Once you create a query without retrieving data results, is it possible to change to retrieve the data and how.
Thanks - Mahrukh

Hi Mahrukh,
I do not have this issue. What version of Data Insight are you using? What database is your metadata repository? What database is your source data in for the Data Insight query you are writing? Have you tried double clicking on the custom query - this should open it up for you to be able to edit it as well!
You should be able to open the query to edit it and either click the return data box or un-check it for any type of query.
Thanks,
Denise

Trying to change the data source for a Crystal Report.

The method below represents my best attempt to programatically change the data source of a Crystal Report. The goal is to have a routine that will update the data source for reports after they have been distributed to production servers. So far I have not been successful in saving the report back to the CMS. No exceptions are thrown, but when I view the Database Configuration of the report in the CMC nothing has changed.


Am I missing a step, or is there another way to accomplish this?


Thank you.

Justin,

Thank you for the reply. Time constraints have not allowed me to post back to this tread
till now. I will try your suggestion. My assumption is that Save the report back to the
info store refers to IInfoStore.commit(IInfoObjects).


I'm afraid that I do not understand why I don't want to change the report client document,
or why successfully exporting the report with the new login/password is not what I
want to do. Any explanation on that statement would be appreciated.


I did find a way to accomplish my goal. It involved adding the SSOKEY property to the
logon property bag. Below you'll see my revised code which modifies the report logon and
server. I have no idea what
this does, and SAP support has not been able to tell me why it works. However, what I
discovered is that if I changed the report option, Database Configuration -> When
viewing report:, in the CMS to Use same database logon as when report
is run from Prompt the user for database logon, then the
SSOKEY property had been added to the logon property bag having an empty string as its
value. This allowed me to successfullyupdate and save the modified logon back to the CMS.


So I took a chance and added code to always add the SSOKEY property with an empty string
as its value, and I could then successfully modify and save the report's logon info
and server. Again, I don't know what this means, but it has worked so far. If anyone has
some insight or comments, either are welcome. Thank you in advance.

Reports engine doesnt start automatically

Hello,
I install weblogic 10.3.3 with forms&reports 11.1.1.3 and I have the following issue.
When the weblogic starts, the reports engine (RWENG) doesn't star automatically to print the reports. To be able to print the first report I need to manually open the "/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?jobname" site or press the "start in-process button".
I already tried to define the" minEngine=1, initEngine=1 and maxEngine=5" but the issue persists.
Can anyone help me out? How can I start the reports engine automatically, so I dont need to open the URL or press the button every time the weblogic starts?
Thank you.

Yea. Based on your first post:
x-tra wrote:Although i am able to login at gdm, what i am getting next is an x-session with 3 terminal windows.
it seemed to me that you were successfully getting to GDM login but just were not getting to your gnome session, so that's why I didn't go into great detail about setting up GDM and just suggested using a different init file (~/.gnomerc in this case).
But, basically, you were choosing the wrong session at GDM, and once you selected Gnome, you were good to go, is that correct?
Anyway, back to dbus-launch ... any background on why you chose this methodology over putting dbus in the rc.conf daemons? I'm not criticizing, I've just not seen it done this way, so I thought you could provide some insight into your choice.
it doesnt make any difference its just another way to load dbus and having some options for the gnome-session.
Your solution is much easier so i stick with that.

How to Audit the data displayed within a Webi report

Hi All,
We have BOBJ XI R2 SP4 installed on our server.
One of the requirements is to audit the data the user has viewed through Canned reports and also Adhoc reports created in Webi.
I understand that we can audit what reports are accessed by the user, but not sure how to audit the data within the report. Could someone please let me know if auditing data can be acheived form SDK ? If so how ?
Thanks,
Sireesha

Pablo,
The following should get you started;
This is a report to pull Universe Name, Report Name, Action Time (last refreshed), Action Duration (execution time), User Name and Object Name (universe objects used in reports).
The Result Objects are as follows:
Object Name from Actions/Action Details
Action Time from Actions
Action Duration from Actions
Action Type from Actions
Action Type Detail from Actions (detail object associated with Action Type)
User Name from Actions
Document Name from Actions/Document
Universe Name from Actions/Action Details
The Query Filters are as follows:
Action Time between Day1 And Day2
Note: The Query Filter is necessary (obviously) only to restrict the size of the query. I wouldn't run this query without a filter on demand. Depending on the size of your deployment, you might want to restrict the query initially to a specific universe/list of universes while testing.
At the report level, I moved Universe Name and Document Name in to (nested) sections.
i.e.
Section on: Universe Name
Section on: Document Name
Table
Another option would be to retrieve this information from the CMS tables using WID Scanner [here|http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=80856]
The last option would be to use the Report Engine SDK (for Webi) to write a program extract this information from the CMS tables and pass it to another table. WID scanner (above) does effectively the same thing, passes the info to an MS Access table (if I remember correctly..I may be wrong. I have'nt used it since it last tried to create a report to extract all used objects.)
Best,
Srinivas

Integration with a Reporting Engine Web Service

I want to use a separate reporting engine for my reports. That is, use APEX to perform the filtering and parameter settings and preview the result in APEX. But the final formatted output will use a more complex layout. Sorry, cannot use BI Publisher or PL/PDF (license issues). Other FOP solution isn't sufficient as well because I'm planning to centralized our reports.
I already tried using Jasper Reports (also BIRT and Pentaho,they seem identical to me) Web Service but with no luck. I don't want to invest too much time in learning these tools since I don't know if it will ever work with APEX.
We do have SQL Server 2005 but I'm currently learning its reporting services. I'm a MS Access developer and already have enough of it. Anybody got a suggestion?
Thanks

Hi Mertz,
Well you have to bear in mind that Oracle have made it incredibly simple to integrate APEX with BIP to produce some visually stunning reports that contain data that can be pretty complex.
However...obviously you need to stump up the money for BIP to get that level of ease/functionality.
So, what you're really asking is: is there a way I can produce output just as complex as BIP without the price tag of BIP?
If that's the question the answer is definitely yes, you can use FOP. Anything you can do using BIP (and the BIP Desktop) tool you can do with FOP (or pretty much everything, I haven't found any real big exceptions to the rule).
However, the 'price' you pay with FOP is that it's another layer that you need to learn about (unlike diving into the BIP desktop plugins to design your form). However you do get complete control over the layout of your exports.

Web based reporting engine integrated with APEX

Hello,
I would like to use some completely web-based reporting solution for my application. My idea is that I will create some datasource, prepare database query and publish some data columns to end users (datamodel). They will choose from many of prepared data areas, create their own report using some intuitive web-based report designer and save it. I do not need it for any analytic purposes, no dynamic filters, graphs and other widgets, no BI. It will be all only about building text based reports with few dynamic fields (customer address, actual date etc..).
For example: User will prepare some document (template) with few paragraphs and add some of prepared dynamic fields into it (ie. company name, customer address, repeating table with list of employees, some image). Then he will be able to generate same document for many customers etc..
I am looking for some simple, user friendly web based application. Some external report builder for example for Jasper reports is not what I am looking for.
I will need to integrate it with Oracle 11g XE with APEX 4.2 so some API or URL parameters is must.
Used reporting engine does not be completely free, but I am able to pay max. $5000 for it
Do you have some tips?
Thank you

This could be a solution for APEX reports (interactive reports). But I want to create more complex reports, not only table based reports.
I need to create for example invoice report with some dynamic fields (customer, invoice items...), another report can be for example some contract about cooperation with some dynamic fields (contract number, personal information ...).
These reports will be mostly only text based without any table. See example bellow. How would you generate this kind of letter?
"Hello <CUSTOMER_NAME>, we would like to offer our new product <PRODUCT_NAME> to you..."
Where CUSTOMER_NAME a PRODUCT_NAME are prepared fields (from some database tables). It will be something very similar to Microsoft Word automatic mailings. User can generate many text based reports and save them as PDF.
I need to find some web based product, that will be simple for users and can be integrated with APEX.
