Deliver a report in XML format and save it to local file system on the server

We have OBIEE 10.1.3.4 on Redhat linux. We want to have generate a report in XML format and saved it to the server's file system. Did not realize this is s difficult task. Basically
1) How to create a XML report? It is not listed in the output items of a layout template.
2) How to deliver XML the report to local file system. Look into the Delivery section of Admin page. FTP should be the best choice, but does that means that one need to install and run ftp server on the BI server box?
Thanks

Hi,
Since I still have problems on this subject, I would like to share on how it progresses.
Currently I have a problem of timeout in step "Truncate XML Schema" with the URL that I mentioned above.
The exact error is the following : 7000 : null : com.sunopsis.sql.l: Oracle Data Integrator TimeOut : connection with URL [...]
The connection test is still OK.
I tried to increase the value in the user's pref but there's no change.

How to copy Report(including text symbols and Selection text) in Local file

Hi,
I have developed a Report in my testing system (Company dummy system) which contains lot selection text and Text symbols.
Is there any program that will copy that prohram along with all selection text and text symbold and save it on the floder and form the same program or different program i can upload program??
for example SAP has standard program <b>RSTXSCRP</b> from which i can export and import SAP Script to and from local file or system.
Please let me know at the earliest.
Regards,
Prasanna

HI,
For scripts only that option is avaible in SAP.
For reports u can copy that report to another name otherwise release the request no and transport to one system to another system.
Final option is u have to save to one local file (green color icon) after that in which system, u want to upload the report means u have to create new report and upload it including selection-text itself.
Thanks,

How/Where are Financial Reports Saved on the File System of the Server?

We've recently lost a large chunk of our reports on our server. We can't figure out which directory location to restore in order to get those reports back. Where is the default directory for 11.1.2.2 Financial Reports? And in what format are those reports saved?

The FR reports themselves are found in the Operating System (O/S) file system, but the EPM Workspace heirarchy (folders, tree, etc) are stored in the Hyperion BI+ repository database.
On the O/S file system, the reports are stored in RM1 folder under "C:\oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\ReportingAnalysis\data\RM1\root" folder.
The names of the reports located here are UUID (long identifiers - not the actual names).
For example:
        when a report is created with the name"My report" in the Financial Reporting Studio, when logging into EPM Workspace it will be accessible within Financial Reports/folder name where it was saved.
        the actual report will be stored in a sub-folder of the RM1\root folder on file system.
            The name of the file will be a unique identifier (not the actual name of the report i.e. "My report")
            It will be generated "on the fly" based on various things such as the current date and time on the server (i.e 0000012f5af72b1a-0000-ec71-c0a8006c.00000130510b77bb-0000-5133-c0a8006c.1)
The meta-data for that report ("My report", that is in the folder in Workspace, the modification date of the report, the permissions on that report, etc.) will be stored in the Hyperion BI+ DB as an object in an encrypted table. Financial Reporting knows what meta-data is in the Hyperion BI+ DB that matches the report, in the "RM1\root" folder because all the rows in the table for this object in the Hyperion BI+ DB that are related to "My report" will be referenced using the UUID of the file (e.g. 0000012f5af72b1a-0000-ec71-c0a8006c.00000130510b77bb-0000-5133-c0a8006c.1)
Note: The location of RM1 folder differs with each installations' operating system.

Get data from a JMS XML queue and save it in a file

Hi,
Here I come with my issue again.
I'm trying to test a JMS XML implementation with ODI 10.1.3.4.0 and my target is a single delimited file.
I made simple things, my XML contains the following code :
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>+
+<test><id>456</id><value>789</value></test>+
In the target file, I specified that I wanted a header line, the id and the value, separated by a tab.
I send only one message, before executing the ODI interface or package. The queue is persistant. There's no problem from the queue, I manage to read JMS messages with a little program I made.
The result is also simple : there's no data in the file (not even the header), though it's well created by ODI, and there's no error in the opertor, it's as everything went well.
Here is the settings I did in ODI :
Topology : JMS XML Queue config
Name : JMSXML_TEST
Technology : JMS XML Queue
I've a user and password set.
JNDI Auth : simple
The user and password are the same as above.
JNDI protocole : not defined
JNDI Driver : org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
JNDI URL : jnp://localhost:1099/?re=test&d=<DTD_FILE>&s=JMSXML_TEST_SCH&JMS_DESTINATION=queue/TestQueue1
The connection test is OK.
Model
The JMS XML model is reversed from the DTD.
There is only one datastore named TEST with an ID and VALUE columns, and other columns usefull to ODI.
The target is a file represented by a datastore also named TEST with ID and VALUE columns.
Project
I created an interface with the following configurations :
- The staging area is the sunopsis engine,
- The source datastore and target datastore are the two described above,
- The LKM is JMS XML to SQL, the IKM is SQL to File Append
- The JMS_COMMIT option is set to yes
- The SYNCHRO_JMS_TO_XML is set to yes
- I added manually a NEXTMESSAGETIMEOUT in the options list because it was missing
- The IKM settings are all set to yes (INSERT, TRUNCATE, GENERATE_HEADER).
I also created a package containing this interface.
Everything is done in the global context.
Everything is installed locally on my computer : the program sending the messages, the JMS provider and ODI.
The problem is I don't know where the problem is and neither ODI.
In the operator, there is 0 insert and the error code is 0.
Thanks in advance for any insights.

How to save a customized format and save it as default template for all reports?

Hi All,
I have a specific format to be followed for all the reports. I'm using WebI Rich Client 4.1 SP1. Can i create a template with this customized format and save to use it for all the reports in future as a default format. If so how can that be done?
Regards,
Naren Vema.

Naren,
Another option is, if you want to FORCE global stylesheet for ALL users. You can update the WebIDefaultStyleSheet.css located in \SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\images\ folder.

hi,,,
it seems OS package version conflict
Please check glibc and openmotif version (its responsible for reports)
and
Set the environment variable MALLOC_CHECK_=0 and bounce the Concurrent Managers
MALLOC_CHECK_ can be changed in two places :-
1. Add this to the $APPL_TOP/custom<TWO_TASK>_<HOSTNAME>.env
MALLOC_CHECK_=0
Then restart the concurrent managers and retest
2. Change it in the adovars.env file
Again bounce the concurrent managers and retest

Difference between deploying oracle report in RDF format and REP format

Hi All,
Good Day!!!
We are frequently encountering report failures in our production environment with the error message "REP-1247: There exist uncompiled program unit(s)"
But the report executes successfully in the next try and the issue is intermittant. In production the reports are deployed in RDF format.
So in our test environment we tried of deploying the reports in REP foramat and we cant find any errors.
Is there Difference in deploying oracle report in RDF format and REP format?
Is there any diffence in execution?
Your inputs will be much appreciated!!!
Thanks in Advance,
JK

Hi,
REP is to RDF what FMX is to FMB, MMX is to MMB, etc.
Only difference here is that if you deploy RDF, not REP, then the RDF is compiled at runtime by Reports Engine and then executed. In other words, if REP is deployed then it is straightway execute.
That should explain all your observations.
Cheers.
PS: Please post Oracle Report queries on {forum:id=84} forum.

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives?

Save as Reduced Size PDF and Save as Optimized PDF do not reduce the file size. What gives? I used Acrobat 9 to do this for a long time. I recently received new laptop loaded with with Acrobat 10 and it does not work the same. I typically scan 8-10 pages of receipts, combine the files in Acrobat, and then optimize to reduce the size so I can upload with my expense report. Typically, my files were reduced to 200-400 KB. I have a 2 MB file that will not reduce at all.

Bernd, thank you for your attempt to help but the option dialog windows do not contain the same options. There are numerous other posts on this forum about this issue and there is no answer. Clearly, there is an issue. I have submitted this issue to our internal help desk.

Open all pages in a PDF and save them as sequential files

I'm trying to make a script that will open all pages in a multi-page PDF and save them as sequential files, but I have had no luck with the simple script in the "Adobe Ilustrator CS5 Reference: JavaScript".
there example to open a PDF to a designated page does not work for me in Illustrator CS 5.
// Opens a PDF file with specified options
var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;
pdfOptions.pDFCropToBox = PDFBoxType.PDFBOUNDINGBOX;
pdfOptions.pageToOpen = 2;
// Open a file using these preferences
var fileRef = filePath;
if (fileRef != null) {
var docRef = open(fileRef, DocumentColorSpace.RGB);
if anyone can get me on the right path it would be appreciated.

Hi DuanesSFK,
you can open a PDF page on this way (tested with CS3 and 5):
//OpenPDFpage2.jsx
var uILevel = userInteractionLevel;
app.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevel.DONTDISPLAYALERTS;
// Opens a PDF file with specified options
var pdfOptions = app.preferences.PDFFileOptions;
pdfOptions.pDFCropToBox = PDFBoxType.PDFBOUNDINGBOX;
pdfOptions.pageToOpen = 2;
// Open a file using these preferences
//var fileRef = filePath;
var fileRef = File("~/Desktop/YourOwn.pdf");
if (fileRef != null) {
var docRef = open(fileRef, DocumentColorSpace.RGB);
app.userInteractionLevel = uILevel;
To open all pages you have to loop through all pages etc.
Easier for you:
Search here in forum for the "open pdf" script (I don't know the exactly name, it was written by CarlosCanto, ) This should always work for you.
Have fun

Hi, I'm an eBay seller and save old eBay auction files to my hard drive for future refence. Firefox no longer opens these files correctly (see below).

Hi, I'm an eBay seller and save old eBay auction files to my hard drive for future refence. These files which all use the same name but are saved in a different folder for each eBay auction no longer open correctly -- much of the eBay auction text information shows up for a split second and then disappears -- the area at the top of the saved eBay auction file then collapses -- the original eBay auction photo of the product shows up as well during that split second but disappears when the other auction text disappears. These eBay auction files open correctly when opened using Internet Explorer. In Firefox, Firefox adds some strange information at the end of the file name when it is opened which is not a part of the actual file name itself (i.e. here is the original file name which is the same for whatever ended eBay auction I open: eBayISAPI.dll.htm -- here is the altered file name after Firefox opens it: eBayISAPI.dll_files/eBayISAPI_data/eBayISAPI_002.htm#ht_658wt_1349 -- yes, it is that long -- the last part is slightly different for each separate auction file that I open). None of this happened until recently. The files open this way whether using Firefox 4.0, Firefox 3.6.16, Firefox Safe Mode 3.6.16, and Firefox Safe Mode 4.0.

Here is what I did:
1) In Firefox 4.0, I opened the Bookmarks on the Menu Bar at the top of the screen. I clicked on the Import and Backup menu. I then exported all my bookmarks to the PC's desktop using the default file name BOOKMARKS.HTML.
2) In Firefox, I opened the Add-ons menu under Tools on the Menu Bar. I clicked on the Prnt Scrn key on the top right of the PC's keyboard in order to obtain a screen shot of all the Firefox add-ons. I then opened Microsoft Word and pasted the screen shot using the Control V command (Ctrl V). I then saved the Microsoft Word file on the PC's desktop for future reference.
3) I then opened the Control Panel in the Start menu (accessed from the little Windows world globe on the bottom left of the screen -- the operating system is Windows 7).
4) In the Control Panel, I opened Uninstall A Program in the Programs section.
5) I uninstalled Firefox 4.0 clicking on the box "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" in order to remove whatever bug in my Firefox customizations was causing the two errors above (this is the MOST IMPORTANT PART of this whole process which is why I saved all my bookmarks as an HTML file and saved a screen shot of all the Firefox add-ons).
6) I then reinstalled my old Firefox 3.6.16 version obtained from the following link: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html (I am not yet in favor of using Firefox 4.0 -- you suppose you can reinstall Firefox 4.0 on your system if you want).
7) After Firefox 3.6.16 was reinstalled, I had to import all my old bookmarks. Under Bookmarks on the Firefox Menu Bar at the top of the screen, I clicked on Organize Bookmarks. I then clicked on the Import and Backup menu and then the Import HTML command in order the BOOKMARKS.HTML file saved on the PC's desktop.
8) I then re-added all my favorite Firefox add-ons by clicking on Add-ons under the Firefox Tools menu and then clicking on the Get Add-ons command. I then searched for all the old add-ons I wanted to re-add to Firefox using the Microsoft Word document on the PC's desktop saved with the screen shot of all the old Firefox add-ons on my system by I uninstalled Firefox 4.0.
9) I then opened one of the old eBay auction page files saved on my hard drive under the eBay default file name "eBayISAPI.dll.htm". The file opened perfectly with NO missing sections and no missing original eBay auction listing photo! the file looked exactly like it did as if I was logged into eBay and looking at the original ended auction.
10) I then opened Hotmail in Firefox and received NO "update your browser" message! I was able to open all my old emails and write and send new emails (with all my Contacts being automatically detected when I went to type in the email address of the person I was sending the new email to)!
In summary, you need to uninstall Firefox 4.0 being sure to click on the "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" box during the uninstall process. Be sure to save/export all your old bookmarks before the uninstall process and make a note of all your old add-ons. Then reinstall whatever version of Firefox you are comfortable with. Apparently, my Firefox customizations had become corrupted at some point; removing the Firefox customizations during the uninstall process allowed any future Firefox version installed on my PC to start over with a clean slate (these corrupted settings would show up in whatever version of Firefox I had installed on my PC so removing them during the uninstall process was the key to solving all my Firefox bugs). I hope my suggestions help to solve your problem and good luck!
