Defining "prior-week" timeframe dynamically for scheduled reports

I have a number of reports that I need to execute each week. But, the scheduling options don't allow me to kick off the report on a Sunday AND constrain the timeframe to the prior week (Sunday-Saturday). I have a prompt built into the original query, but that's useless if I want to automate the output.
I was successful getting the query to work against the upstream database using the following query fragment:
BETWEEN CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '7 day' AND CURRENT_DATE - INTERVAL '1 day'
But, there is no option to enter this query into the BI.Ondemand UI.
Any insight would be helpful. This issue is hindering progress with our metrics automation plans.
Regards,
-Joe

I'm using the Web-based version of BI.ondemand.
I don't have access to the OnDemand Desktop Publisher because the hosting provider I'm using doesn't support it.
The scheduler is very unstable in the web version. I often get "page not loaded" errors in the prompt window within the popup scheduler.
I've also just determined that the week-definition in BObj is Monday-Sunday and not Sunday-Saturday.   I'd need to make that adjustment as well.

Can I use Webservices SDK for scheduling Reports?

Hi All,
I have a requirement to use Webservices SDK. The process flow is explained as below:-
PeopleSoft calls Java component which schedules the BO Reports by calling BO program Objects. I was using BOE SDK before. But SAP advised to move to Webservices SDK as to remove CORBA connection issues.
Can I use Webservices SDK for scheduling Reports?

"database logon" option for schedule report

When scheduling a report,
Crystal report has the "database logon" option in "shcedule" property page.
But I can't find the "database logon" option for webi report or deski report.
Is this by design.

Hi Tina,
We do not have data base logon option while scheduling the report.
I am not sure what is the significance of it in Crystal but in Webi or deski report we do not need it. We have connections for every universe/report and that has these database log on credential in it. Based on it reports get refresh and run.
Thanks

Setting up multiple FTP locations for scheduled reports

I have tried to set up a new Crystal Report that would FTP the report to port 2033.
I set up 5 new Job servers with the new FTP data, each time I schedule the report it auto reverts back to port 21, I have checked the requested server and the server is set to 1 on the new servers that is set to port 2033.

You could define one separate reports-server for each user, and configure the path for it in the reportsserver's conf-file. In the formsweb.cfg, point to a different env-file for each user, in that env-file, place thename of the users reports-server. retrieve it using TOOL_ENV.GETVAR and use it in the call of your report.

Prerequisites for scheduling reports

hi there,
i would like to know if there are any prerequisites in order to schedule the report creation successfully? for example, do i need to store my reports in the database (xdb), or should it also work when they're stored in the file system on the server ...
thanks

You have to create a table structure, described in user guide,
or in that thread: Adding Email Server

Possibility to define length of String fields for POJO Reporting

It would be a nice feature if you could set the length of a String field in POJO Reporting.Right now the max length is set to 127 characters and that is not sufficient for our needs./ThanksMattias MelinIST InternationalSweden

The first condition is redundant and pointless here, since, if it's true, the second one will always be true.

Can we use own customise calender for scheduling the Reports

Hi,
We are using different calender for the business and hence our number of weeks in each month differs. For e.g. we have 6 weeks for Jan and Dec where as 4 weeks for rest of the months.
In this scenario, we want to schedule reports after Period (month for our calender) close.
Suppose we want to schedule report after 3rd day of period close. So, our Jan period will close somewhere in mid Feb (6 weeks of Jan), i.e. 15 Feb. In this scenario, reports should get generated on 18th Feb.
For leap year we will have 7 weeks in Jan, rest same.
How can we achieve this?
Regards,
Arjun Kushwaha

Hi,
yes you can create your own Calender for scheduling Reports. Just Log- in into the CMC and click on "Calendar". By creating a new Calendar you can mark the Dates where the Report should run.

IP - Rows defined individually, Columns dynamic for

Hi,
If I want to create a ready to input Query for my First Version of the year, I don´t have Actual Data, so I don´t have combination of characteristics. I need a blank template, I want to open 12 months of the year and I know the GL Accounts that the user needs to planning, the user only has to select the Cost Center and the Version. How I do that at IP? In BPS when I created the planning layout I selected the option "Key figure in data columns, rows defined individually" and " Columns dynamic for 0calmonth".
Thanks for your help.

Hi.
In Bex query restrict the parameters CostCenter and Version by variables (user will be able to choose any values).
Then restrict 0CALMONTH for 12 required monthes.
Next, restrict GL account and put it in rows area.
Next, put KF in rows, ensure that it is enabled for planning ("planning" tab - input ready relevant for lock).
Then drug and drop 0CALMONTH (or whatever) above the KF.
Ensure that for 0CALMONTH is set as "Master Data" in 'Advanced" tab.
Regards.

Crystal Reports Server - Scheduling Report Exports

Dear Experts,
We are using Crystal Reports Server XI Edition and we would like to schedule report exports. Crystal Reports Server configuration console allows us to automate report exports but apparently we could not find a way to pass report parameters and formulas from any export management tab. Naturally, each report needs to take different parameters but to our knowledge CRS management console does not have a screen that prompts us to key in or to read dynamic report parameters and formula. It simply uses the default report parameters. Can you confirm this please?
To overcome this limitation, we are thinking of developing something like a script that directly interacts with CRS. The script would pass the name of the report, the report parameters and other relevant details like CMS username/ password.Do you think this is possible and if yes can you please point us to the key APIs required for scheduling report exports?
My sincere thanks for your assistance.
Kind Regards,
Joseph.

You are able to change the parameters for the report within the Central Management Console under the processing tab before scheduling.
Here is some sample applications that you can refer to in regards to doing this using the api:

Schedule report to run daily

Hi,
I want the Inventory Audit Report to run automatically daily (and thereby update the Last Evaluated Price).
I know the report scheduler can schedule reports for user queries, but I need this out-of-the-box B1 report to run automatically with a predefined schedule.
Thanks,

Hi Ajay,
You can not Schedule Standard Report for Scheduling for Email.

How to Schedule reports to SFTP server?

Hello friends,
Can some one please give me an examples for scheduling reports to SFTP server using BOBJ SDK?
Regards,
Rakhy.

Hi Rakhy,
You cannot schedule a report to SFTP and also it is not supported by SAP.
The same cannot be achieved thtrough CMC/BIlaunchpad and hence it is not possible to achive the same though sdks as there is no option available to schedule a report to SFTP.
SAP BI 4.x does not provide any Build- In functionality to use the SFTP protocol with the Scheduler.
Refer to the SAP Note below
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1782625
There is a workaround given at the link below is applicable to XI R2. You can probably implement that with your environment.
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-31576
You can use BOBJ SDKs to Schedule a report to Unmanged Disk and then create a program object which will trigger its schedule as an file base event occurs and send the report to SFTP.
Thanks,

Non scrollable headers for multiple report regions on a page. Please help!!

Hi everyone,
I am having two report regions on my page and am trying to have the static/non scrollable headers for both the report regions. I followed on of the threads in the forum and was able get the static headers for one region, but am not able to for second region. I put my app on apex :
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=38724:1:1083512384327081:::::
workspace:sk
username : guestdev
password :guestdev
Can anyone please help me? Appreciate your help.
regards,
Suma.

Hello Suma,
The first parameter of the MakeStaticHeader() function is your table id, and it defines the "playground" of the function. If you want to apply static headers to two reports, you need to define two unique IDs, one for each report.
Change your SKstandard… report template, and define the table ID to be "table_grab1". Duplicate this template, and change the ID to be "table_grab2". Applied the templates to your reports, and use the correlated IDs as parameters to the MakeStaticHeader() function.
Regards,
Arie.

Monitor Scheduled Reports

Hi All.
I am currently monitoring an application which generates reports via SSRS. There are a number of scheduled reports in SSRS which output to a file share on an hourly basis.
I am looking for a way to monitor SSRS in order to ensure that the reports have executed successfully. I thought this might be possible via SQL Agent Jobs. However, the job names for Scheduled reports appear to be a GUID - not particularly useful.
Is anyone aware of a way to achieve this?
Cheers
shaun

Can you not monitor the jobs? Doesn't matter if it's a guid, it's still a data source. You should be able to resolve the guid in the monitor implementation.
