Deliver report to Content Store directly with web interface

Hi all,
We are currently implementing a system which will use XMLP as the letter/report/document producer. XMLP will be accessed from other applications (Siebel, EBS or else) using a preformatted URL so that the user will be in context of the report/letter directly. We would like the user to generate the report using the parameters in the XMLP web interface and when the report is ready, that there was only a "Send" button which would put the report in a temporary folder in a Content Store (Oracle Content DB). We would like to achieve that without the user having to input the destination of the file, like with a WebDAV or FTP. So we need to customize XMLP to remove the "Schedule" button and change the behavior of the "Send" button.
We would also need to be able to send the context of the creation of the report in order to be able to store it at the right place in the Content Store. In order to do that, we would pass an Id by a query string in the URL when calling the report. I know this information is stored in the XMLP_SCHEDULER_JOB table in the DELIVERY_PARAMETERS field so it must be accessible in the app as well. A BPEL process would be used to move the document to the right place.
So, 2 questions:
- Is it possible to change the behavior of the "Send" button? Has anybody done that?
- How can we save the context of the execution of a report to a file at the same time we are generating the report? (parameters used, template used, etc.)
Any clue, hint or helpful thought would be very appreciated!
Thanks!
Pierre-Yves

Hi MadhuSudan,
I couldn't find the EBS Delivery you are refering about. Is this something using the Concurrent Manager from EBS? If so, this is not what I am trying to do. I really want to give access to XML Publisher and save the output report the user has made with the parameters he used to create it in order to store it in a content store. XMLP will be accessed by EBS and Siebel through a URL.
I am curious to look at your java program and shellscript, could you send me a link to the URL where I can find the information you were refering to?
Thanks!
Pierre-Yves

Drivnal - backup utility with web interface

Just finished adding package to AUR for an open source backup utility I'm working on. It has web interface and create's backups using rsync+hard links similar to Time Machine on OSX. There's a demo of the web interface and more info on homepage http://drivnal.com/ Still in development so there are a lot of bugs.

Hi Saurabh,
Please check your available device for backup, I think device is not active,
take help of OS support.
you can issue this command to check
#tctl -f /dev/rmt/0m status
#tctl -f /dev/rmt/0mn status
Please update this node, if your problem is solved.

Correct password doesn't work with Mail interface, but works with web interface.

Mail claims "The POP server “mail.nykayak.com” rejected the password for user “valerie”, yet when I log in through the web interface the password works. All other accounts work. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution?

Mackie, Welcome to the discussion area!
On your iMac G3, go to the AirPort menu and select the network name. It will prompt you automatically for the correct type of wireless encryption password.
I wouldn't trust selecting an option from Internet Connect.
In AirPort Admin Utility, what type of wireless encryption have you enabled? If it is WPA2 the iMac G3 won't be able to connect.
Also ensure that your AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) is configured to work in an 802.11b compatible mode. The iMac G3 is only 802.11b.

Drilldown on BW report with web interface

I have a BW report that I deliver through our portal using web Templates and my question is if our user selects certain filter values can they then save their selections as a VARIANT much like they can do in BW Analyzer? This way the next time the come visit the report they can somehow bookmark their variant the way they previously ran it?
Thanks

I have not worked with the Portal, but if you right click a cell in the web report, you must be getting the BEx Context menu with options for drilldown, filter etc, right? On this menu you should be able to see an option for Bookmark. See if the last entry on the menu is Enhanced menu, and click that...more entries should open up.

Reports 9i Printing from Forms with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT

I want to print a Report from Forms via WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT directly to the printer and it works fine.
But every time i print it from my web application a new browser-windows opens and shows a message "Printed successfully" or something like that. If I start the printjob again nothing happens - if I press the Browser-Refresh-Button in the new Browser-Windows with the Message ("Printed Successfully") it prints.
So now I have 2 questions:
a) How can I disable the "Printed successfully"-Message
b) What hava I to do that I not must press on the Refresh-Button to start the printing again
I hope I hava explained my problem clearly. 4
Here ist the complet WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT-Command I fire in Forms when a Button is pressed:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://mymachine:8888/reports/rwservlet?report=testreport.rdf&destype=printer&desname=\\NTS32\VZ_D3&desformat=html&userid='|| sUser ||'/'|| sPW ||'@'|| sDB,'_blank');
Many thanx for your help!
Regards
Marc

Hello,
for the problem:
b) What hava I to do that I not must press on the Refresh-Button to start the printing again
may be it just a setting in your Browser ?
For Internet Explorer :
go to I.E General Options screen. click on settings button and choose
"Every visit to the page " option.

Oracle Content Server Security with Web Center Suite

Hi all
I've configured Oracle Content Server (UCM) to integrate with WebCenter Spaces (WCS). The document service works on a user's personal page but fails on group spaces and when I troll the logs I find the following error:
<WCS-07006> <run-time error obtaining content repository oracle.webcenter.doclib.internal.view.DoclibJCRException: repository error
Caused By: javax.jcr.ItemNotFoundException: Unable to get folder info for dCollectionID = 288463355527000401
Caused By: oracle.stellent.ridc.protocol.ServiceException: Unable to display virtual folder information. Cannot read folder.
I am using a socket connection, not web or SSL.
UCM is on an external server and not on the same machine as WCS.
UCM is 11g and WCS 11g patchset 2. Yes I know UCM 11g is not "officially" supported to integrate with WCS until patchset 3, but others have gotten it to work, so I'd like to do the same.
On UCM machine OHS (from web tier utilities) is installed and comfigured.
httpd.conf edited as per requirement.
config.cfg and intradoc.cfg edited as per requirement.
Admin user on UCM has admin and sysmanager rights.
I think this may be because the UCM uses the internal default LDAP first (i.e. it is first on the list of providers) because it does not have an admin user in the external LDAP. So even though in the service connection I specify the UCM admin i think it must also be able to find this user in the external LDAP on the WCS side.
I am currently having trouble figuring out how to give an external LDAP user the same permissions on UCM as that which the default internal LDAP admin user has, so that I can use that external LDAP user in the services connection setup instead.
With WCS under the Fusionware EM is simply added an external LDAP user to the domain for the webcenter section, but for UCM I'm not sure where the appropriate place is to add such a user.
I am also not 100% sure if this is actually the issue.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Report Viewer icon rendering issue with web controls

Hi,
I have a sample application in ASP.NET 2.0 in which if I have a report viewer control in an aspx page and when I try to browse the page the report renders properly with all icons image also. But in the same application I am having a web user control that is having the report viewer control and I have added this control on another page. Now if I try to browse this page the report is rendered properly but the icon images are not displayed rather as 'X' is displayed indicating images are missing.
Thanks
Kajal

It sounds like the CrystalReportViewer control does not "agree" with the .NET control you are embedding it in. Can you be more specific with the exact steps to duplicate this issue? It would be helpful to know what controls you are using.
Viewing the source code will be helpful in your troubleshooting. You'll also want to review your IIS logs to see what error are popping up there. It could be that the gifs are being searched for in another location. You may need to make a copy of the crystalreportviewerxx directory in a new location.

David

Integrate ESRI maps with Webi

Hi,
I know we can integrate ESRI with dashboard but not directly with Webi.
Any idea how we could achieve this using a work around?
Thanks,

Hello Arun,
Although the Esri Maps plugin has no direct integration to webi, a work around through BI Workspaces is mentioned on the Esri Maps forum. http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/101718-Esri-Maps-for-SAP-Business-Objects-1.0-released!
If you have more questions on this, post your questions on that forum and I am sure the Esri team will be happy to assist you.

BPC Web Interface

Hi,
I'm got an strong assumption and just want to validate with experts before putting this as an option to the client.
We want to access BPC input schedules and reports (developed using EVDRE function) through web interface. Users should be able to input data through web interface instead of logging into BPC for Excel.
To achieve the above requirement, we just need to publish the input schedules and reports to the content library and then we use the generated URL to access the respective input schedule/report through portal ?
Another question is: as BPC is service enabled, can we access the BPC input schedules and reports without SAP portal too?
Thanks,
Shabbar

Hi Robert,
1. When you refer to LiveWeb you are refering to the web based report of BPC?
Under the Portal Publication button in Excel EPM in version 10 there is a prompt for BI Launch pad or BPC Documents View. Documents view results in an error.
Where you successful in converting from Excel to Web in version 10?
Thanks

CKF in bps_wb (Web Interface)

Hey All-
I know with Enhanced layouts you can create calculated key figures based off of exsisting measures that you have in your planning area. I'm using Web Interface (bps_wb) and I don't see where I can create CKF. Is this even possible with Web Interface?
Please advise.
Thanks,
nv

Hi,
in Web Interfaces you cannot use any CKF's; this works only in web templates or workbooks based on the Integrated Planning.
But you can use calculations (but only summation) in the layout customizing of BPS.

Range of Variable in Web Interface Builder

Hi,
I have created a Web Interface Builder in BW-BPS. I have created Cost Center as a Variable. However, I am unable to get this range of cost centers say 1001 to 1005 in Web Inteface Builder.
Whereas, in the Planning Folder, this works fine and I am able to select the range of Cost Centers from 1001 to 1005.
The issue is only with WEB INTERFACE BUILDER.
Looking forward for some valueable inputs.

Hi Mayank,
Thanks for your reply.
I will also look at the different options given.
I also found the following thread is more useful.

Dear All,
We have a requirement where we need to overlap multiple tables and based on user selection any one of the table should display in report.
We are on BO 4.0 and source is BW Bex report, we dont have any Universe.
To achieve this we plan to have dummy variable with some fix value and use it as report filter & based on selected value in filter the related table should be display.
We have not found any way to have dummy variable directly in Webi.
Is their any way we can create dummy variable directly in Webi?
Thanks v much in advance,

lets say u want to display following picture:
sept$-----august$
City
-chicago123$--
44$
so in Query designer go to Default values section.
Bring in Calendar month
right click calendar month
and hit Restrict
now select variable
use standard sap variable Current Month.
hit okey
now select Variable and hit Red button
Result u restricted current month.
in columns bring in keyfigure $
right click and hit edit
bring in time field calendar month
right click and hit restrict
bring in Current month
right click and select - SET OFFSET FOR VARIABLE
select -1
hit okey
repeat the above process
and this time select offset = -2
this way u restricted current month
but displayed last 2 months for keyfigure values.

Creating reports directly in web-I

my clients are planning to use Web-I for all there reporting requirements using 4.0.
I would like to check if there other clients that allow there users to create there web-I reports directly in production?
I presume this is how this tool is meant to be used, otherwise the users will always have a dependency on IT to develop and transport.
Would be interesting to hear from others how they have empowered the users with web-I.
Many thanks.

Thanks Dennis.
We are also planning template reports which will be created directly in production. We will also have power users who will be able to create new reports and publish them to the public folder as part of template reports. But would it be possible to have end users edit the template reports with there changes but only be allowed to save them to their favorite folder and not to the public folders?
Many thanks
