Developer Report and APIs

Can any body help me with the following:
We have created a Developer report and it is linked to Portal. We can run the report by specifying a parameter and it works OK. What we want to achieve is to use the API option to get the user id to drive the report.
The question is: can this be done and if so how is it specified.
Thanks
Keith

Hello dear all
I am using Developer 6i and Oracle 11g all is
happy.But some users have problems
That alone mean's that all is NOT happy :-)
Forms 6i is not certified with database 11g nor supported, even if you get it connected, no one guarantees it will work properly. and your problem is a simple example.
Best thing to do is to upgrade your Forms Application, or use Oracle 10g with Forms 6i R2 patch 18, this is a certified combination.

Toolkit Development Process - and API maintenance

I'm interested in understanding how Sun and other 'toolkit' providers manage their software development cycles to maintain public APIs from release to release.
I am currently part of a large software project which plans to deploy a large existing codebase as a toolkit for others to develop on top of. I'm concerned about our ability to manage changes to our public APIs once we provide our toolkit to external developers. Once they start extending our classes and interfacing with our APIs, we have to be very careful about what we change - and ideally we should have some way to 'deprecate' things.
How does a company like Sun manage this for the JDK? Or how do other companies that do similar things work through this? Anyone know of any good reference material (books / online / etc.)?
Thanks,
Aaron Schmidt

None of this is official as far as I know, but Sun appear to follow a few very simple rules:
Proper use of namespaces - if you write code that relies on com.sun.* packages then that's your problem. Code which relies on java.* or javax.* and the rest of the public APIs will generally work from release to release.
Addition of new functionality is favoured over changes to, or deletion of, old functionality. For example, the nio classes did not result in the removal of the existing io classes.
Deprecated methods and classes are marked as such, but not removed for several release cycles.
I don't see why you would need to do anything more complex than follow these quite simple rules. Obviously you would need a suitable unit test suite to ensure that your API is consistent from release to release, but you should be doing that anyway.

Transport Webi Reports and Web services as the backend of dashboards from BO Production to BO Development system

Hello Experts,
I am working on SAP BO 4.1. I have made several dashboards on top of web services ie;Web Service Method. I have 2 systems in BO ie; Development and Production Systems.The BW production system is connected to BO Development and Production both.
The Webi reports are made on top of BI BEx Query. From the webi reports, BI Web Services are made on top of which the dashboards are made further.
The Webi Reports, Web Services and the Dashboards everything is made directly in BO Production.
My question is, Can I transport the Webi Reports and the Web Services from BO Production to BO Development?
And If yes, will it have any other impact on webi reports, web services or dashboards?
Thanks & Regards,
Alfred Thomas

Hi Gill,
As per your reply,with the promotion managament i have make the web services again manually in Dev system...Right?
Is there any way possible that i can transport the webservices and the webi reports usind Query AS A Web Service Designer. And if yes, through this QAAWS will the WSDL or the URL required for the web services in the connection button in dashboards will automatically updated or changed as per the Development System?
But i am not able to enable the "Deploy to Other servers Option" in QAAWS.

Develop report based on INFOCUBE and ODS

Hi,
Pls, can anybody help regarding developing reports based on INFOCUBE
and ODS object
i am using SAP BW 7.0
what is the transaction code for reports
what are the steps to develop reports
Thanks\
- Mubeen.

There is no transaction code as such as you have to use the front-end application to create queries off your Cubes/ ODS.
open Bex query designer -> select info provider (cube or ods) -> drag and drop the keyfigures in columns, -> char in rows -> save.

Developer - Forms and Reports 11g?

Hi,
We have recently installed application server 11g and developers are asking me for the developer 11g software to go with the forms and reports. Looking at the oracle website they have changed things, there is no longer a Developer 11g, and I'm having trouble establishing what I need to download and install so the developers can develop forms and reports in 11g. Can someone tell me what I need to grab from the oracle site and roughly how to install it? It's all a bit new to me.
Thanks
Adam

This came up awhile back, read the entire thing and make sure you use the same versions.
Oracle 11g Developer suite installation
Note that you will need to install Weblogic Server before you can install Forms 11g.

Crystal Reports and Silverlight

After a bit of googling I see that Silverlight and Crystal aren't 100% as of yet.
From my own playing around, they work 100% on a development machine but as soon as you publish your app then it starts moaning. I GUESS this is because you have to specify x86 or x64 to get Crystal to work properly, but setting a "Hello World" Silverlight app to x86 or x64 causes it to no longer work.
I have however managed to build up a WCF Service for Crystal and then show a report from a Silverlight app by opening up a new browser window and using the URL to specify which report and its parameters. This approach is acceptable to us except for one missing "feature". When all I need is to generate a PDF file of a Crystal Report then I do not want show it in a new browser. This is where I run out of ideas to get this to work.
Any help or comments on any of the above would be greatly appreciated.

I may be missing something here, but when you want PDF (you do not mention if you want to view it in Adobe viewer or just an export) ;
1) Do not open up a new browser window and using the URL to specify which report
2) Use this code to export to HD:
''The path/location where the exported file will be saved
        Dim exportFilePath As String = Application.StartupPath + "exported.pdf"
        ''Set the options for saving the exported file to disk
        crDiskFileDestinationOptions = New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
        crDiskFileDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = exportFilePath
        ''Set the exporting information
        crExportOptions = crReportDocument.ExportOptions
        With crExportOptions
            .DestinationOptions = crDiskFileDestinationOptions
            .ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
            .ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
        End With
        ''Export the report
        crReportDocument.Export()
3) If you want to stream to PDF viewer see the sample code in KB #[1523063|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333533323333333033363333%7D.do]

How to develp a subreport in the same page of the main report and processed when is called

SSRS 2012
Hi guys,
I am developing a report that includes a subreport.
therefore The report is made up by 2 sections:
1) Show a grid (several rows - may be 100 or more - and some columns). It represent high level info (Each row represent a specific item)
2) The user click on a Row/column (eg: Item1, to see details that must be shown as graph.
Here the problem: Searching info about SSRS reporting for subreports, drilldown, nested report and so on, no ones accomplish the requirements for the following reasons:
1) Subreports: NOT open in the same page. The user must <go back> to see detail for other items, such as Item 2....
2) Nested and DrillDown: Process data as the Main report (they are hidden and displayed after user action). In my case this leads to performance problem, because: if the main report has 200 objects (it means 200 graphs processed and hidden at the same time
for the main reports).
3) DrillThrough and Subreport: The detail data are processed only when the user select the interested item in the main report. Here the problem: the report is shown externally.
Please, it there any possibility to have a subreport (or anything else) to be executed in the same report as the main report and processed only when the user make action?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Fasttrack2,
According to your description, there is a main report with more than 100 rows of summary information, when users click the item of the row, the report need to jump to detail information shows as graph. The problem you are facing is that you are not sure
subreport, drilldown or drillthrough report should be used? You hope to set display detail information in the main report and keep high performance of report.
In Reporting Services, each subreport instance is a separate query execution and a separate report processing task. Subreports are recommended when there are just a few subreport instances. We should not use subreports inside a group when there are many
group instances, instead, consider using drillthrough reports. Drilldown reports process all data even when the data is first hidden. In order to improve the performance of the report, we can split drilldown reports into parameterized drillthrough reports,
because Drillthrough reports do not run until a user clicks the drillthrough link in the main report.
In this case, we can consider using drilldown or drillthrough report. In drilldown report, when we click a plus or minus button to expand or collapse a section of a report, the detail data will be displayed in place. By using drillthrough report, when we
click the link in the main report, the detail data will be displayed, we can come back to the main report by click return button in the drillthrough report.

Hi,
This type of question is almost impossible to answer over a forum .
You need to work with your business to understand what these requirements mean in terms of data modelling and relationships between object entities.
- Some of these metrics should be delegated to source, and calculated in the update routines to your datatargets (aka Cubes/Tables)
- Others could be resolved in the semantic layer (Universe)
- Other will be calculated in the presentation layer as local formulae or variables.
whilst BusinessObjects is a fairly intuitive tool, it may be unreasonble to expect a new learner to deliver an advanced report with conditional formatting.

Generate SSRS Report and save as PDF in SharePoint

The WebPart works fine in my local server and even on another development testing server. However, once deployed to the live server that has claims authentication it stops working and throws an error that says:
"Client found response content type of 'text/html; charset=utf-8', but expected 'text/xml'.
The request failed with the error message:
<RSError xmlns="http://www.microsoft.com/sql/reportingservices"><MoreInformation><Message>An unknown error occurred with the Reporting Services endpoint on this SharePoint site. Contact the SharePoint site administrator for help.</Message></MoreInformation></RSError>
If I open the report manually in SharePoint Site, it works fines it even works fine when try to view in a WebPart.
Can someone help me with this ?
Regards, Vikram

Hi Vicky,
Based on the error message, it is related to the service account for reporting service.
If the Report Server service runs under a built-in account such as NetworkService, the Grant database access option in SharePoint Central Administration will not work correctly.
Configure the service account to run under a domain user account as follows:
1. Start the Reporting Services Configuration tool and connect to the report server.
2. On the Service Account page, click Use another account, enter a domain user account, and click Apply.
3. Click Web Service Identity, for Report Server, click New, type an application Restart the Report Server service.

How do I use the Oracle Developer Reporting Control in Visual Basic 6.0?

I was wondering how to use the Oracle Developer Reporting Control componant in Visual Basic 6.0 to generate reports in Oracle Reports? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Rohit,
Would like to ask you some questions about the oracle report with Visual Basic.
1. I have a report built in oracle report. Currently there is a Visual Basic program want to pass some parameter to this report. Can Visual Basic program pass the parameter to this oracel report?
2. Based on yr answer, do i have to installed the oracle report? or just copy and register the Rwsxa60.ocx (i'm using oracle report 6i) in the PC? So can i use this activeX control.
3. Is this activeX control similar to Crystal report object which can found in VB?
4. Is there an example/guide on how the Visual Basic pass the parameter to oracel form?
Your answer will be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Report Engine API 4.0 (upgrade to 4.1)

Hi,
In the incoming days we will face the upgarde of our current SAP BI Platform (4.0 SP8) to next minor release (4.1). One of most challenging points is to ensure the proper behaviour of existing SDK customizations based on Report Engine API available at 4.0. I know that SAP is promoting use of Restful Web Services as a way to implement functionality previously delivered by JAVA API but my question is. Will current Report Engine API based developments work under in 4.1 release? In other words, has SAP planned an smooth transition from Report Engine API to restful Web Services scenario (compatibility scenario ) or code will have to be completely rewriten ?
Thanks,

Hi Alfons,
As per the current situations Report Engines SDKs are still the same in BI 4.1 likewise in BI 4.0 all patches. You can perform the below functionalities with BI 4.x Report Engines SDK :
- Export Webi Report to some other format.
- View a Webi Report.
- Partial drilling.
- Save prompts in Webi reports etc.(Most of the functionalities are deprecated like schedule with prompts etc.)
On the other hand with Webi Raylight REST SDKs you can leverage the workflow of legacy functional parity of BusinessObjects XI 3.1 Report Engines SDKs.
By seeing as a future, it looks like most of the new development & enhancement are happens in the Webi REST world. So planning to rewrite the code in terms of REST SDKs is beneficial.
As you are talking about the compatability, Report Engines Java SDKs are same upto BI 4.1 Patch 4 release. But it might be possible that in future Report Engines Java SDKs are totally deprecated. You can also refer the Object Model Digram of Report Engines SDKs which gives you list of deprecated interfaces, classes & methods.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,
Shailendra
