Database view initialization in BP Publisher report

Hi,
I am novice to BI Publisher and trying to create some sample report in BI Publisher. The data source for my report is database, hence i have written a query based on view from APPS database. when i try to run the report, it does not show any data coz i did not make org id initialization for view. Can anyone suggest me how can i initialize the view in BI publisher.
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
AS

I am sorry if my question was not clear. I meant to say is, when you develop a report in Oracle reports 6i that time in case multi-org env, if we use views in our query then in before report trigger we use :
begin
dbms_application_info.set_client_info('ORG_ID);
end;
Is there any provision to use the same in case of BI publisher?
I hope i am clear with my question.
Thanks,

APEX Database Configuration re XML / BI Publisher report issue

Greetings,
I have a problem that would be considered database related.
I am attempting to implement the APEX REPORTS functionality.
The process currently breaks for me when I have over 45 columns in an XML output in the APEX Reports framework. When I say BREAK, this is a very soft break. It just does not return any XML. The system eventually returns “no response” and then continues normally.
Looking closer at the DB, I will see the session hanging on, and not completing with very little information. These sessions will stay active for a very long time… possibly indefinitely. They are running as “APEX_PUBLIC_USER”.
The “current statement” shows as follows…
BEGIN
   DECLARE
      l_bind_values   wwv_flow_global.vc_arr2;
      i               NUMBER                  := 0;
   BEGIN
      FOR c1 IN (SELECT c001, c002
                   FROM wwv_flow_collections
                  WHERE collection_name = 'SET_BIND_VALUES')
      LOOP
         i := i + 1;
         l_bind_values (i) := c1.c002;
      END LOOP;
      FOR c2 IN (SELECT owner
                   FROM wwv_flows
                  WHERE ID = :fb_flow_id)
      LOOP
         wwv_flow_render_query.print_shared_query
                                     (p_flow_id            => :fb_flow_id,
                                      p_format             => 'XML',
                                      p_xml_structure      => :p1112_xml_structure,
                                      p_query_text         => :p1110_query,
                                      p_query_name         => :p1110_name,
                                      p_query_owner        => c2.owner,
                                      p_items              => :p1111_items,
                                      p_values             => l_bind_values
      END LOOP;
   END;
END;I have tested this on APEX.ORACLE.COM and I am un-able to reproduce the same issue. It runs fine. This leads me to believe that I have a database setup issue. The problem is that I don’t know where or how to discover.
Steps (for me) to reproduce:
1- Create a REPORT QUERY which has a fair number of columns (say 50 – 60)
2- Go through the wizard steps and finish
3- Review the Query – Option n the right (under tasks) – click on “Export Report as XML”
Result = session hangs creating a DB session which does not complete.
Footprint:
Application Express: 3.0.1.00.08
Database: 10.2.0.1.0
Connecting via a DAD connector from Oracle Application Server
BI Publisher connection
Suggestions are welcome.
Many Thanks.
--Tim

Just for the off chance that someone else runs into this, I am going to try to brief my findings on the subject related to this issue...
Previously, in the 3.0.1 version of APEX, our system would generate an OS process which would not terminate. Now in 3.1, it seems as though there is an error that is generated when this issue comes into play. I can, when attempting to get the sample XML from the REPORTS definition screen, generate this output when using the DOWNLOAD button:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
SUMMARY
TO RECREATE:
1- CREATE a report with a lot of "columns wide" (about 50).
2- Create a report using the GENERIC LAYOUT setting for REPORT LAYOUT
3- RUN or get XML by using the DOWNLOAD or TEST REPORT buttons from the designer page Report Queries>Edit Report Query
ISSUE: The generic layout has an issue in the code with size....
PROBLEM: When creating a new report - XML is not available in order to create the required layout. Without a layout, XML will not generate. Standard chicken and egg syndrome.
WORKAROUND: Create a DUMMY layout and assign it to the QUERY so that the proper XML output can be created.

Project Server Creating database views

Hi All,
We are using project server 2013. We need to create some database views to generate some complex report, what is the best way to create. I think if we create any custom views inside the project server databse, will be removed while applying the service pack.
Thanks in advance, Taj

Assuming you are talking for an On premise installation,
You won't have problem if you create custom views within database as long as its referencing reporting objects, it is supported and documented on
Technet
Excerpt from Technet
Schemas are documented only for the reporting tables and views.
For an
on-premises Project Server installation, you can add reporting tables
and views for entities that are not defined in the Project database
schema. You can also create separate databases for custom on-premises
applications. Modification is not supported for the draft, published,
and archive tables and views. Because the Project database is not
directly accessible in Project Online, reporting tables and views cannot
be modified. However, if you have a SQL Azure account, you can create
separate databases for custom use with Project Online.

BI Publisher Report Build - XML view

Hi Experts,
I am trying to build the BI publisher report. During the process, I am defining the SQL query structure in the 'Query Builder' once after that I have saved the report.
As part of the next step , I have clicked on 'view' link to view the report structure as mentioned in the OBE.
I could only see the 'Data' view but not the 'XML' view. Is there any way I can see the 'XML' view.
Any help would be appreciated
Siva

Data means look at the xml data that you have created.

Store XML Publisher report in the database

Hi all,
Is is possible to generate an XML Publisher report in the background and store the report as a blob in the database. I have an APEX application that needs to generate the report when the user clicks an 'Update' button. This report can then be accessed at a later date (via a hyper-link on another page) and will show the report that was stored on that date. Basically the report needs to be point in time.
Thanks
Grant

Hi,
you might have your reasons to want to store the entire report in the db as an object ... But wouldn't it be simpler to just add an extra DATE column to filter, and generate the report at runtime?
What if the data changes in the meantime?
Just, an idea ...
Grtz.

Unable to view BI Publisher report with SSO configuration enabled

Hi All,
Can anybody let us know the configuration of the BI publisher with SSO enabled. We are unable to see any of the BI Publisher reports. without SSO configuration we have integration working perfectly fine with the OBIEE and Publisher.
We followed the configuration steps to integrate BI Publisher with Oracle SSO. The following are the steps:
1. deploy analytics.ear as a new application 'analyticsSOAP' in OAS
2. protect analyticsSOAP in mod_osso.conf file under OAS
3. change OBIEE Presentation services configuration to use analyticsSOAP/saw.dll
4. run credstore utility to encrypt password
5.restart xmlp server
6.restart http server
7.restart obiee server
8. restart obiee presentation service
Still we have issues when we try to accesses BI Publisher reports by clicking more Products -> BI Publisher or view reports directly on the OBIEE Dashboard
Thanks in advance.

configure one more virtual path which is unprotected from site minder. we had similar issue for Marketing and resolved by this virtual path.

Write to the database from a BI Publisher report

I have a requirement to setup a BI Publisher report that writes a snapshot of data to a database table whenever the report is run.
Putting aside whether doing this is a good idea or not (I'd prefer not to do it for security reasons) if I were to do it in SQL server (that i'm more familiar with) I'd write a stored procedure that does this and enter "exec storedprocedurename" as the report query.
From searching through this board I see that I'm supposed to use a pipelined function instead of a stored procedure but I'm unclear if once I have setup the pipelined function that I'll be able to achieve my objective of both returning the data to the report as well as writing it to a snapshot table, is this possible? If so then I have some questions as I don't really understand the syntax with my limited pl/sql knowledge.
create type numset_t as table of number; --where does this go, it doesn't appear to be part of the function?
create function f1(x number) return numset_t pipelined is
begin
for i in 1..x loop
pipe row(i);
end loop; -- do I need to do a looP? i just want to do select *...
return;
end;
select * from table(f1(3)); -- again this appears to be outside the function, where does it go?
Thanks
Bruce

Jorge:
I was looking into something similar some time ago. The suggested solution may or may not work for you, depending on what it is you want to write to the tables. I was trying to write audit information - who ran what report when. Through BI Publisher template variables I could get the who and the when, but not what report was being run, so the report trigger option wasn't of any use to me.
In the end, I opted to change the attributes of the report so that the "show controls" checkbox is unchecked and make users run all reports through BI Publisher Scheduler. It turns out that reports run via the scheduler have all of that data saved off and you can see it from the Schedules/History display.
Good luck,
Gaff

Publishing report views

Guys,
How do you publish report views on the web after creating BEX reports?
Thanks,
RG

Not exactly. The portal role will contain the queries in its definition - what you can simply do is to assign the portal role to the user IDs. The creation of the portal role will be done by the portal guy and you will have to give the definition of which role will contain what queries. Examples of roles might be 'FI' or maybe 'Sales Planning' etc.

Publishing reports to Enterprise - Remote database access.

Enterprise newbie.
I can publish a report that accesses a database residing on the same server as Crystal Enterprise. Under the CMC, report process, database, I'm using the default report DB connections option. It runs fine in the user mode.
The Problem
Attempting to publish a report accessing a database not located on the same server as Crystal Enterprise, I get theis error: " There was an error retrieving data from the server: The database logon information for this report is either incomplete or incorrect. "
I've tried a number of variations on the process database setup and have established user accouts on the remote server, using that accout as the report user and pw under process - database.
Both reports created on my desktop with ODBC conections.
I think I am missing some page or cache server set-up. Any suggestions appriciated.
Paul

Hi,
If the ODBC connection is set up properly then make sure the servers in the CCM are running on the domain administrator account.

BI Publisher Report Layout Get Distorted when viewed in different format

Hi Experts,
I am facing issue while running BI Publisher Report.
The Report Layout work fine in one output format (PDF).
But when the same report is generated in different format it get distorted (HTML,EXCEL).
Could any one please let me know how to resolve this issue.
Is there any SR raised for this issue.
Cheers,
Andy

Hi,
I have faced a similar issue, Finally i created a different template for each output type, and tweaked each template through trial and error till the output it provided was what i was looking for in the specified output format, I had a different template for PDF and a different one for HTML. If I used the html optimised template for PDF out, there were all sorts of alignment issues, etc.and vice versa. As for the date format, you can set the parmeter correctly using the word date format properties.

How run the run the BI Publisher report for current/active/selected record

Hi,
I have one requirement to generate a BI Publisher report in Siebel, which will run on SR's List view. Report should fetch the active SR and its audit trial entities. I know this was achieved easily using Actuate (simply setting "current Recrod only" to true), but I need how to achieve this in BI publisher.
This report we are creating is in Siebel-BI Publisher integrated environment, not connecting to database. Can body give share your valuble inputs.
Thanks,
Ravi

In my experience with Siebel 8.1.1 and BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.0 when you generate a report from a Siebel View the report will show all data visible on the view. If you wish to have only a few particular records in the report you must query for them first in Siebel then generate the report again. There is useful article describing how to generate the report for the current record but it does require some config on the applet.
