Discoverer plus report does not sum up the column

Hi All,
I am running the discoverer report from discoverer plus (web version) and was
trying to use the sum function to sum the total amount of the report.
The sum function does not work and it only display Cell
Sum: (blank) with no actual data.
When i checked the report details some columns are calculated based on the columns which i want to sum up.
My query uses CASE function to calculate one of the columns.
I changed the aggregation behavior setting to "Show the sum of the calculated values from the contributing cells "
then also i'm not able see the totals.
Any ideas please share with me.
Thanks in advance,

Hard to answer your question without seeing what you are trying to do. Issues like this are often better reported to Oracle support, where they can get a web sesison going and be able to see what you see on your computer. Would be helpful to illustrate exactly what your detail looks like and how you are trying to create your sum. There could be several possible issues that could cause your problem, so all I can do is speculate some. Are you trying to sum one column, or are you creating multiple totals (for multiple columns)? Do you have any rows in the column with a NULL value? NULL values will be a problem when trying to sum up a column. You would need to convert the NUll value to something else, probably a zero. That would be the first thing I would look at. Hope that helps a little bit.

Discoverer report does not sum up the column

Hi All,
I am running the discoverer report from discoverer desktop and was
trying to use the sum function to sum the total amount of the report.
The sum function does not work and it only display Cell
Sum: (blank) with no actual data.
When i checked the report details some columns are calculated based on the columns which i want to sum up.

Thanks in advance.

b) What is the difference between sum and cell sum? Well, I certainly won't claim to be a Discoverer guru. From what little I have seen, the practical result is not any difference really between the two. SUM of a calculated row is adding up the calculation to the total. Whereas cell sum is like adding up the individual values behind the calculation you see. The distinction makes more sense when you have SUM DISTINCT and CELL SUM DISTINCT being involved. Then you will see a difference in the calculated total. But for SUM and CELL SUM itself, I have not seen any difference between the two, but I am still pretty new to Discoverer.
e) Aggregate field from a folder. Well, this may be one where you have to play around with your own data to understand. Let me try to give you a simple example. Let's say you have a sales table with 100 rows. You have sales data for 5 cities, and each city has 20 rows of sales history. If you pick Sales Dollars Detail and City Name for your workbook and run, you will get 100 rows in your result (complete detail listing). So that is what happens with no aggregation. Now, instead of doing Sales Dollars Detail, you pick Sales Dollars Sum (the same thing as saying SUM(Sales Dollars) in an SQL statement). Run the workbook. You will now get 5 rows of data, instead of 100 rows of data. You will get one row for each city. If you look at the SQL that Discoverer generates, you will see that it has now done a GROUP BY in the SQL statement. Notice I have not said anything about DISTINCT (just trying to keep things simple).
Now, lets say you do a workbook for City, Part Number, and Sales Dollars Sum. Run the workbook. You get a summarized result (say maybe 10 rows of summary data this time). If you look at the Discoverer SQL, the GROUP BY is now by city and part number, automatically doing that because you picked the SUM version of sales dollars.
Now lets say you add Sales Units Detail to the workbook. Discoverer will give you a warning message that you are have both an aggregate and a non-aggregate and that you may end up with unpredictable results. Run the workbook. You will be back to 100 rows, because you specified sales units in detail.
Most of the time I do not want to see detail rows in a workbook. So most of the time I am picking the SUM aggregate for an amount item.
Hope this explains things a bit. Sounds like maybe you need to take the Discoverer Create Queries and Reports class. Would help you understand these things better. Good luck.

Index mentioned in AWR Report does not exist in the database

Hi,
I have a situation where the index object mentioned in the AWR Report is not present in the database. The object has not been dropped, is not present in the recyclebin either. The object name is mentioned as PK1_IDX in the report. The object with the name PK_IDX is present in the database. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi,
Please let me add additional information.
The AWR Report section Segments by Physical Reads shows that a particular index object shown up in report as PK1_IDX has 72% of physical reads.
But the index object PK1_IDX is not present in the database
The index object with the name PK_IDX is present in the database.
SQL> select object_name,object_type,last_ddl_time from dba_objects where object_name like '%PK_IDX%';
OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_TYPE LAST_DDL_
PK_IDX 09-DEC-08
Does oracle create indexes at runtime with a names as PK1_IDX during execution?No, not a thing that I know of. As I said, can you trace the query ans see if its truly using that said index?
Aman....

The type or namespace name 'Reporting' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I have a Windows app that was built some 7 years ago on a WinXP machine using VS2005. It uses Crystal Reports for the reporting. We recently got new machines with Win7 x64 and I installed VS 2013 Pro. I moved the app to my machine and upgraded
it to that VS version. It previously had a .NET Framework target of version 2.0. I changed the target to version 4.5.
I want to use the MS Reporting instead of Crystal Reports. However, I cannot get the ReportViewer control to show up in the Toolbox.
I downloaded and installed the ReportViewer Runtime 2012. I installed the ReportViewer using the NuGen GUI and console. I tried adding the control to the Toolbox using Tools > Choose Toolbox Items... but it never shows up after I browse to
the Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll file and select it. I manually typed 'Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer' and the intellisense came up fine. But when I build the project I get the error shown in this post's title.
I'm at a complete loss. I've searched all over and tried everything I can find on the subject with no luck.
Can anybody help?
Thanks.

Thank you for taking the time.
The Report Viewer will not appear on the Toolbox, even with references to that assembly. However the Crystal Reports viewer IS in the Toolbox.
I think it may be because Crystal Reports is installed and integrated? I don't know. I just can't get it to work.
Thanks again.
Hello,
From
ReportViewer Controls (Visual Studio), we could get that ReportViewer Controls are included in VS2013, that means we don't need to install that control manually.
To confirm whether this issue is related to your Visual Studio or Crystal Reports, I would recommend you consider testing it with the following ways.
1. Create a simple windows form application, and open a form designer window, and check whether reportviewer is inside the tool box.
If it is available, then we could focus on your project to narrow down this issue.
If it is still missing, we could test it with #2.
2. Uninstall Crystal Reports and disable all add-ins of VS2013, and if possible, you could also uninstall and reinstall VS2013 to make sure the environment is clean enough. Next repeat the steps of #1.
It will be much helpful if you could share the detailed results with us.

Xl Reporter does not work after the upgrade to 2007A PL 47

Hi Experts
UPgraded to 2007A PL 47 from 2005A. Upgrade was done successfully. However the XL reporter is
not functioning. When you go to Tools and click on XL reporter nothing happens. No error message
comes up even.
Client is using SQL 2005 MS server 2003
I ahve done the test upgarde in an image of the live server
thank you
Regards
Aosara
Edited by: Apsara Senaratna on Feb 10, 2010 4:33 AM

Hi Thannga
The answer is no.
I believe when i logon to SAP add on at the bottom of the menu it should come up " connecting Addon: XL reporter" (i get this on other dB's when connecting to SAP)
Could this be related to the environment. As other than this there was no issues with the Upgrade.
Thank you

Report Column Attributes Does Not Display All the Column Names

Good Morning,
I have an interactive query Select * from table_name. I have to select * since my query returns well over 32k. I have 162 columns in the query. On the screen, all the columns are displayed; however, on the report tab, only about half of the columns are displayed. The rest are cut off. I need to be able to go into these field's attributes. Is this an APEX bug, or am I just missing something.
Regards,
Kelly

Hello Tony,
I can't break them out because APEX is limited to one interactive report per page. There is need to be able to do computations on the data, which interactive reports allows. The data is all statistical.

Kelly

COMMAND plus T does not work on the keyboard but does from the menu...

Is there a way that that shortcut could have gotten shut off from the keyboard? When I click on file or edit and then go to something like "make new tab (command t)" works fine but from the keyboard it does nothing.

System Preferences->Keyboard prefPane->Keyboard Shortcuts->Restore Defaults and restart.

Why se11 does not show all the columns of a table

I have some text tables, e.g., T6WP4, when I look in SE11 it show me only two columns:
MANDT and ETIF0.
But when I look in contents of this table (SE16 or clicking table content icon in SE11), it show three columns:
MANDT and ETIF0 and ETITX.
I found this to be true with some other text bales as well TMBW1

Hi zigzagdna,
in SE11, Menu Goto -> text table you will switch to the text table. Look at the foreign key definition to see the relationship marked as text table.
This is one of the basic concepts to enable a SAP-system to be multi-language enabled - although 99% of all installations are strictly single monolingual -:)
See also documentation [Text Tables|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/cf/21ea9e446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm], [Type of Foreign Key Fields|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/b2/fbb85cc64611d295dd00a0c929b3c3/frameset.htm] and [Semantic Attributes of Foreign Keys|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/cf/21ea91446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm]
It is a SAP feature that in SE16/SE16N the text is displayed in logon language if a text table is defined for the table displayed. If you want to maintain those table directly, you have to specify the language explicitly, usual SY-LANGU can be used as the LOGON language. Be aware that this is one-charcater internal (E=English) but 2-character external (EN = English, conversion exit used).

Report does not display some data

Hi,
Using:
- Crystal Reports 2008 SP3 as development platform.
- Visual Studio 2008 to launch the crystal report.
- SQL Server 2005 SP3 as database
Crystal Report:
- rpt file has been set up for a couple of months, working fine uptill last friday
- dataset comes from a SQL Server stored procedure with some parameters. Executing this stored procedure with these parameters, returns the correct result set
- showing the report using the Crystal Reports Viewer, some fields remain blank since the beginning of this week. Why does the report does not show all the data that is in the result set of the stored procedure ?
Any idea for a solution ?
Any idea to debug such strange behaviour ?
Thanks a lot for any help.

Good to know CR doesn't like joins of Stored Procedures to something else.
But in my testcase, I finally dropped the link between the ttx file and the stored procedure. Doing so, I was able to run the report from the designer with the stored procedure as datasource instead of the ttx file. At that moment, I still had missing data in my report, while the resultset of the stored procedure returns me all the correct data !
In the mean time, I changed the layout a bit, especially the text fields containing name, address, country and postal code and city of the customer, by just adding some spaces between those seperate databasefields. In fact, there is one text box with all those database fields concatenated one to the other.
And by just adding some spaces in between, my report works fine again ?!
Strange, strange, strange,....

SAP P & L Report does not balance to Balance sheet profit

Dear support,
I have a client that we have just taken over and they have a strange problem with their financial reports. The profit on the P & L Report does not balance to the profit on the balance sheet? The trial balance still balances so I am not sure whee the difference is coming from??
It has not balanced since the first take on balance were brought int othe system. Is it possible that some account with balances were moved from a P & L draw to a Balance sheet draw in the chart of accounts? If so how do I find the problem account?
Regards
Clayton

I resolved this issue myself.

WebI XI 3.1 Report does not fresh in IE6 but it does in IE7

Short Text
WebI Report Does Not Refresh in IE6
Long Text
BO XI 3.1 Windows Server 2003 x64, XP Desk tops with a mixture of IE6
and IE 7.
We have a universe with managed access rights enables at the group
level. The groups we have are: Batu, AUS, and Admin. When someone logs
in as TEST_USER_BATU (user is in the Batu group) the report does not
refresh. The LOVs can be refresh but the report comes back blank. When
we repeat the same work flow in IE7 the report comes back with data.
We have repeated this test on several computers including the servers
running IE6.
Steps for Reconstruction
1)Create Universe with managed access restrictions
2)Restrict groups at the row level including LOVs (see below example)
2.a) Batu Group
2.b) AUS Group
2.c) Admin Group
3) Create restrictions for the Batu and AUS group only.
4)Create generic WebI report applicable for all groups
5) Run WebI Report using a different account for each account in
different group.
6) You will find that the users in the restricted groups can not
refresh the report but the user in the admin group can run the report

Hi all,
Thanks for your responses but nothing seems to be working.
@Mark, Sahil: The properties of the field is set as type "DATE" in the universe.
@Manpreet: Not feasible with timestamp data.
@Anuj: I tried your solution. But it does not work. Its really weird. The date part of the string gets sorted but the time part does not. I have tried splitting the data into date and time into 2 seperate variables and then sorting them, but still the time does not get sorted. The time is also converted to 24 hour format. I have also tried removing the blanks in the data between date and time and converting the same to number. No effect.
Any other ideas?
Kind regards,
Minuj

Discoverer Reports does not work in Multi-org Environment after R12 Upgrade

Discoverer Reports does not work in Multi-org Environment after R12 Upgrade. Created a simple report using the below query:
SELECT po_header_id, segment1, type_lookup_code
FROM po_headers
WHERE segment1 = '5000002'
Query works perfectly fine; when i set the ORG_CONTEXT in the database using the command:
EXEC mo_global.set_policy_context('S',129)
But the report doesn't fetch any data when ran from an Org based responsibility. We've ensured that the MO: Operting Unit is set accurately and general Oracle reports (PLSQL Program OR XML Publisher) are working perfectly fine.
===========
I followed the steps provided in Metalink Note: 732826.1 - It works for some responsibilities where the MO: Security Profile is not set; but fails for those responsibilities where the MO: Security Profile is set.
I am looking for specific solution that works irrespective of either the MO: Operating Unit profile is set of not.
Please suggest. Appreciate your response.
Thanks,
Kesava Chunduri

Hi Hussein,
Thanks for the quick response.
Yes, I've gone thru both the notes specified below:
Discoverer Workbooks Based On Organization Enabled Views Are Not Populated [ID 1293438.1]
- Tried this option; but this option is messing up a couple of Oracle Standard Functionalities.
- For ex: If i set this profile option; we are not able to create any receipts using Custom Responsibilities.
I am able to create the receipt, when i remove this profile option.
No Data Shows for Reports in Discoverer 10g with Applications Release 12 [ID 1054380.1]
- I see that the products i am running these reports from AR/GL - already exists in these tables.
Anything other options??
Thanks,

Bug report: text does not update on the stage

I am not sure whether this has been reported:
I have several groups divs into one main group div. In these are images and text. I create a new group by copying elements from a previous group and then insert new text in the copied text box. The text does not update on the stage but is correct when I run the composition and also in the text panel.

Hi Hemanth.
I tried all day and is intermittent, why?, 'cause the numbers are now showing but the other texts not, this happen only on Chrome and Safari when the navigator screen increases size.
On Chrome:
On Firefox:
I discovered that the error appears only on the right side of the stage, if I move the buttons to center, the error disappears:
On Chrome (Fullscreen):
I have no idea of what is happening.

Postings on profit center but does not appear in the profit center report

Hi all!
I have a very strange problem. My customer is using cost of sales accounting. When I reconcile the cost of sales accounting profit and loss report with a profit center or cost center report I found that for a certain month there is a few descrepancies. I found that for a certain functional area I had postings on a specific account (account 451240 loss price differences) on functional area and both on cost center and profit center but these postings does not appear in the profit center or cost center reports. When I look at the postings in fbl3n or fs10n I can see that they are assigned to both cost centers and profit centers. How is this possible? How can a posting be made to a cost center or profit center but not appear in the corresponding reports?
Many thanks for help in advance,
Åsa
