Display Comments in Webi Report

Hi All,
We have a requirement, to display comments (2 or 3 paragraph in each page of report).The text needs to preserve the format (bold, bullets and colored text) i.e the format from the source data should be retained when displayed in the webi report.
Say for example the source is the excel and the text is coloured red or green , some part of the text is bold, all these formats should be preserved in the webi report also.
Can you please suggest, how to implemet this in webi report?
Thanks,
Sudha

you can take the formatted text in a word document, take a screen shot, put it in mspaint and select the required part. now place this picture in the blank cell's background image. this will preserve the formats of all kinds.
but u cant change the text dynamically.
usually we do this to give users an introduction page(tab1 in report followed by report tabs.) describing the application.
Thanks,
karthik

Ora9i Rpt Dvlpr doesn't display clob in web report

I've got simple table with clob data:
CREATE TABLE TAB_CLOB (
ID NUMBER (12) NOT NULL,
CLASS VARCHAR2 (3) NOT NULL,
CONTENTS CLOB,
with some data.
Using SQL+ with this select:
select * from TABLE_CLOB
finds and displays data in all three columns.
Paper report with the same select formula displays number, char and clob data, but web report displays only number and char data - doesn't display clobs.
Suggestions?

This was an issue with 9.0.2 base release and has been fixed in Reports patches. Please apply Report 9.0.2.0.5 integrated patch for the fix.

Search for display attributes in Web reporting

Hello,
When I execute a query in Excel, in the variable entry screen, I can search values for material, for example, using some display attributes as Colour or Size. I mean, I want to execute the report for materials whose colour is white. I can open the matchcode for Material, I select the value "white" for the Colour display attribute, and I get a list of all the materials with that colour. The report is executed for those materials.
However, when I execute the same report using Web reporting, I don't have the display attributes in the selection screen, to restrict the material. Once the report is executed, in the Navigational block, if I filter the material, there is an option called "Search for display attributes activated", where I can restrict per Colour, but only for one value.
I have two questions related to this topic:
1) Is it possible to have the functionality "Search for display attributes activated" in the variable entry screen, for Web reports, in the same way it is available in the reporting via Excel?
2) Is it possible to configure that functionality, in order to restrict several values for the display attribute at the same time (in my example, for Colours "white", "black" and "red" at the same time)?
Thanks very much for your help
Patricia

Hi Patricia,
Looks like you have some new navigational attribute requirements, don't you think? I'm sure that would solve your issue, though maybe you're trying to avoid using navigational attributes (it is usually said that using navigational attributes is slower).
Maybe you can do a test on BEx to check if your query is considerably slower when filtering directly by material code (by filtering on the selection screen using display attributes) or using a navigational attribute.
Match codes on web reporting have lost some functionalities compared to BEx (such as importing a list of values from a file, for instance).

To restrict the number of data columns displayed in BW Web report

Hi,
In the corresponding Bex query i am using 'Start Time' characteristic in the row. In the BW Web template i don't want the 'Start Time' to be displayed when i execute.
I tried to restrict the number of data columns displayed in the web item table properties but that did not help
Can i get some help
Thanks,

Hi Mala,
You can try out the following: Create a view on your query and in that view remove the Start Time char from the drilldown. Use this view as a data provider in the web template.
Hope this helps...

Images displaying haphazardly in WebI report

Hi,
We are currently working on BI 4.0 SP5 Patch 3.
I am having an issue in the images that are being displayed in my report.
I have a report that displays a company logo on the top left corner(say, Company - "ABC"). Below that I have 1 table and a couple of images(circle and rectangle).
Following are my observations.
When I, :
1. View the report in Launch Pad: - In the Header of the table I can see the "ABC" logo, which shudn't be there. - In the circle and rectangle also, I can see the "ABC" logo, instead of the circle and rectangle image. I checked the properties and in the appearance I donot see any image of "ABC" added in the cells.
2. Export report in Excel/PDF after Viewing: The Header of the table and the images are displaying fine.
3. Open in WebI Rich Client: The Header of the table and the images are displaying fine.
4. Scheduling the report: The Header of the table and the images are displaying fine.
I donot see where the error might be. Require your help.
Thanks,
Amrita

Hi Amrita,
check the WebIDefaultStyleSheet.css file located under c:\program files\sap businessobjects\sap businessobjects enterprise xi 4.0\images. This is located on the application server.
If this doesnt fix the issue, then I need to ask you few questions:
1- how many nodes are there in your environment?
2- which tool did you use to write the report (rich client, or webi)?
3- do you see this image when you open existing reports too or is it just with the new reports?

Hi All,
I have a query where user is expecting both Key and Text to displayed in the report for the Info object "Local Product High". This infoobject has text data available. But Iam not sure why this is not getting displayed even when I select both Key and Text in the properties screen.Only Key is getting displayed.
Can some one throw some light on this.

How to Audit the data displayed within a Webi report

Hi All,
We have BOBJ XI R2 SP4 installed on our server.
One of the requirements is to audit the data the user has viewed through Canned reports and also Adhoc reports created in Webi.
I understand that we can audit what reports are accessed by the user, but not sure how to audit the data within the report. Could someone please let me know if auditing data can be acheived form SDK ? If so how ?
Thanks,
Sireesha

Pablo,
The following should get you started;
This is a report to pull Universe Name, Report Name, Action Time (last refreshed), Action Duration (execution time), User Name and Object Name (universe objects used in reports).
The Result Objects are as follows:
Object Name from Actions/Action Details
Action Time from Actions
Action Duration from Actions
Action Type from Actions
Action Type Detail from Actions (detail object associated with Action Type)
User Name from Actions
Document Name from Actions/Document
Universe Name from Actions/Action Details
The Query Filters are as follows:
Action Time between Day1 And Day2
Note: The Query Filter is necessary (obviously) only to restrict the size of the query. I wouldn't run this query without a filter on demand. Depending on the size of your deployment, you might want to restrict the query initially to a specific universe/list of universes while testing.
At the report level, I moved Universe Name and Document Name in to (nested) sections.
i.e.
Section on: Universe Name
Section on: Document Name
Table
Another option would be to retrieve this information from the CMS tables using WID Scanner [here|http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=80856]
The last option would be to use the Report Engine SDK (for Webi) to write a program extract this information from the CMS tables and pass it to another table. WID scanner (above) does effectively the same thing, passes the info to an MS Access table (if I remember correctly..I may be wrong. I have'nt used it since it last tried to create a report to extract all used objects.)
Best,
Srinivas

Blank graph displayed in a Web Report

When I run a report 9i in PDF format through the web with graphics I've got a blank in the graph.
I can execute the same report without problems in the web and using the same call.
Does anyone know what can I do?

Hi,
We would need some more details about the issue:
1. What configuration are you using? IAS/IDS, versions, platform etc.
2. Have you tried running the same report in another format? Might help figure out if the problem is with PDF format only.
3. Please turn the tracing on & check out the ENGINE trace file (ORACLE_HOME\reports\logs\SERVER_NAME-rwEng-0.trc) if you can find something suspicious there.
You can learn how to turn the tracing on by reading the document at: http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/docs/A92102_01/pbr_conf.htm#1006341

Display pattern in web report

HI all,
We have different infoobjects and whose bex properties defined differently for description. some are set to show short description and some are long description.
so here is the question
Short text such as a year should be centered when displayed as a value in a column, Long text should be left justified and Key figures should be right justified.
Please let me know how to achieve this in 3.5 WAD.
-Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
Changing the code in the stylesheet can solve you issue of text alignment global
which will change the text alignment of all the characteristics.you can change the alignment for KF's with conditions or exceptions. But looking at your requirement i dont think changing style sheet will answer you requirement. Since you want to change the text align for Iobj, we might have go for some <b>table interface</b>.

Displaying WebI report parts via openDocument in BI 4.1 SP 3 Update

1) We are using SAP BO 4.1 SP3 Update version.
2) We have a requirement to display PARTS of webi report which has prompts as well.
3) We referred the Opendocument PDF and used the below functionality to get what we need:
sRefresh=Y&mode=part&sReportPart=UIREF:RID=1:BID=1
The problem with this is we have a Prompt X which has a value say A B C.
So our final URL would be:
http://[servername]:[port]/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=[CUID of WebI doc]&lsSX=A B C&mode=part&sReportPart=[Reference to the report part to be shown].
4) Our problem is that if we pass parameters in Prompt X which has a SPACE (Like we have in A B C) the functionality goes for a toss. Also if we pass Dates like 01/01/2012-12/31/2012, the function doesnt work.
5) This is the problem with VIEWING PARTS OF WEBI report only. Works fine if we wanna view full report.
6) Is it a known issue ?

Hi Ankit,
For special characters like space, colon you have to use ASCII characters in URL. For e.g. if you want to write prompt as
Enter Year:
then it should be like :
Enter%20Year%3A
Please refer page 9 of below document :

Web reporting - colum header

Hi All,
I am formating a Web report.
9 colums are there. I want to put some parent colum for the 5, 6 and 7 column
and another parent colum for the 8 and 9.
e,g
A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I ---> all 9 column displaying in the web report
I want to display....like this
| xxx | yy|
A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I
is it possible.
It is basically I am adding extra row before the table - data display
Thanks
Manjushri

Yes, you can add HTML code using the table API class CL_RSR_WWW_MODIFY_TABLE. You make a new class using CL_RSR_WWW_MODIFY_TABLE as the superclass. If your not familiar with this concept don't worry. It's a lot simpler than it sounds...
Here's a link:

Different display on client report builder and web reports

Hi all, I have build a report in report 6i version Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1.And I set the page to 8.5*11 ,and it runs well in the client ,but when I put it on the UNIX SERVER,and run it from web URL,It displayed different from the client report builder.The web report is "smaller" than the client report ,but the font size is as same as the client .
My HPUX is 11x,and display the Chinese report .
Any body know why ?give me some advice ,thank u very much.

Hi
If you had built the report definition on Windows and then moved this to Unix server, you may find different fonts in use. This is becuase your Unix setup does not have the same fonts install. At design time, You need to use fonts which are available on Unix also. The same fonts shaould also be installed for printer in Unix i.e. the AFM/PFM font files should be kept under $ORACLE_HOME/guicommonX/tkXX/admin/AFM or PFM directory. This would give you the same output and would lessen the porting affect.
Thanks
Rohit
