Overview City Model, Dashboards, Reports BW and Ad-hoc reporting

Hello everyone,
We have different informations views from CCLM.
Overview City Model, Dashboards, Reports BW and Ad-hoc reporting.
I would like to know Which cubes and tables are Involved in each one of theses reports.
I know Ad-hoc reporting (RAGS_CC_REPORTING) use the next tables: AGS_CC_QUALITY, AGS_CC_OBJECTS, AGS_CC_ATTRIB, AGS_CC_VERSION. AGS_CC_LAST_USG, AGS_CC_USAG, AGS_CC_SIMIL, any more?
About City Model, I think It use table AGS_CC_CRIT and AGS_CC_QUALITY and Cube 0SM_CCITY, but I am not sure if its totally true or there are more.
About DashBoards I think it use Cube 0SM_ESRSG, cube 0SM_CCLM ??, table AGS_CC_QUALITY ?? but I am not sure....
The goal is to know, for example ATC quality in table AGS_CC_ATC_SYS you can´t view in the ad-hoc reporting...
thanks and regards.

Our client uses XI 3.2 but is experiencing issues with Hierarchical BEX queries returning blanks - the mdx is fine - just webi that seems to have a problem and I'm also trying to determine in exactly which instances this occurs.
XI 4.x supposedly resolves mots issues but here again details are not known.
I.e. hopefully someone can point to an info source that describes in more detail what issues are likely to occur re hierarchies and webi.

[Forum FAQ] How do I send an email to users when the data in the report have been changed in Reporting Services?

Introduction
There is a scenario that the data in the report changes infrequently, so the users want to be informed and get the most updated data once the data changes. By default, report server always run the report with the most recent data. Is there a way that we
can subscribe the report, so that we can send an email to users when the data in the report has been changed?
Solution
To achieve this requirement, we can create a subscription for the report, then create a trigger in the table which including the report data. When this table has data insert, update or delete, it will be triggered and execute the subscription to send email
to users.
In the Report Manager, create a subscription for the report and make it only execute one time.
When we create a subscription, a corresponding SQL Agent job will be created. Then we can use the query below to find out the job based on ScheduleId:
-- List all SSRS subscriptions
USE [ReportServer]; -- You may change the database name.
GO
SELECT USR.UserName AS SubscriptionOwner
      ,SUB.ModifiedDate
      ,SUB.[Description]
      ,SUB.EventType
      ,SUB.DeliveryExtension
      ,SUB.LastStatus
      ,SUB.LastRunTime
      ,SCH.NextRunTime
      ,SCH.Name AS ScheduleName
          ,RS.ScheduleId
      ,CAT.[Path] AS ReportPath
      ,CAT.[Description] AS ReportDescription
FROM dbo.Subscriptions AS SUB
     INNER JOIN dbo.Users AS USR
         ON SUB.OwnerID = USR.UserID
     INNER JOIN dbo.[Catalog] AS CAT
         ON SUB.Report_OID = CAT.ItemID
     INNER JOIN dbo.ReportSchedule AS RS
         ON SUB.Report_OID = RS.ReportID
            AND SUB.SubscriptionID = RS.SubscriptionID
     INNER JOIN dbo.Schedule AS SCH
         ON RS.ScheduleID = SCH.ScheduleID
ORDER BY USR.UserName
       ,SUB.ModifiedDate ;
Create a trigger in the table which including the report data.
CREATE TRIGGER reminder
ON test.dbo.users
AFTER INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
AS
exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
Please note that the command ‘exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'’ is coming from the job properties. We can go to SQL Server Agent Jobs, right-click the corresponding job to open
the Steps, copy the step command, and then paste it to the query.
Then when the user table has data insert, update or delete, the trigger will be triggered and execute the subscription to send email to users.

Thanks,
Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?
Thanks! Josh

Using Crystal Reports for Ad-Hoc reporting

Is Crystal Reports capable of ad-hoc reporting? If so what of the myriad of products is the minimum that I would need to get started?

There are a few ways to get close to what you need. The easiest way is to use Crystal Reports for Eclipse which is the product that contains an embedded version of the Cystal Reports designer. This would allow users to design and connect the reports to datasources in a similar manner to Crystal Reports. It isn't a fully featured version of CR, more of a basic version. It will allow you to add charts, and you can open an already created template; the connectivity is limited to JDBC, JavaBeans, POJO classes, XML and Web Services.
You can also use the Crystal Report Java SDK to create your own adhoc pages that will allow you to perform the functionality you designer. The API will allow you to do nearly anything you can do within Crystal Reports.
The above downloads are can be obtained freely from the Crystal Reports for Eclipse portal on SDN. To distribute web applications internally, you do not require any additional licenses. To sell your application or to distribute it externally, you require a Developer Advantage license. See this link for more information about that:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting/eclipse/technicaldetails/index.epx
For more information about the SDK and Embedded Designer, have a look at the Crystal Reports for Eclipse 2.0 Developer Guide AND API reference documentation in the SDK Library, the Business Objects Portal, on http://www.sdn.sap.com .

Ad Hoc Reporting

Hi,
Does Report Builder support ad hoc reporting on web application?
Thanks

SSRS Ad Hoc Web Reporting has already existed. It is super easy to use and even a ten year old kid can create SSRS reports with it. You can also use it to create and modify SSRS reports from your mobile devices such as IPad, IPhone, Android Phone or Surface.
See this youtube on how easy SSRS reports can be creates.

Does Crystal Reports Server 2013 have Dashboard Drivers built-in.

Hi: Does Crystal Reports Server 2013 come with built-in drivers for Dashboard 4.1.
In fact, is CentralManagementConsole/Monitors/Dashboard an example of "dashboard" technologies.
...thanks, Stanley

Abhilash,
While that is definitely the case with the full BI Platform, I'm not entirely sure that it's correct for Crystal Reports Server. CRS is limited to Crystal Reports - the features for other parts of the BI Platform are not enabled, so I don't believe you can publish from Dashboards into CRS.
Stanley,
The Monitoring Dashboard is a standard feature of the platform. Just because it works, doesn't mean that content for Dashboards is enabled. You could try publishing from Dashboards to test, but it probably won't work.

Crystal Report Server - Schedule reports have failed.

Hi,
Recently, several scheduled reports have failed with the error message "server error. CrystalEnterprise.Smtp: SMTP_E_TCPSOCKET_SEND(3)". It happens randomly, to different reports at different times. Can anyone let me know what information does this need to troubleshoot. Thanks!
Senthil

Hello Senthil,
I recommend to post this query to the [BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration|BI Platform; forum.
This forum is dedicated to topics related to administration and configuration of BusinessObjects Enterprise, BusinessObjects Edge, and Crystal Reports Server.
It is monitored by qualified technicians and you will get a faster response there.
Also, all BOE Administration queries remain in one place and thus can be easily searched in one place.
Best regards,
Falk

Crystal Report Server - Scheduled Reports Have Failed - SMTP_E_TCPSOCKET_SE

Hi,

Senthil

Hi
I would like to suggest you following things:
1) Please check the SMTP settings on the respective report's job server. Like Severname of the SMTP
server. Port number of the SMTP and domain.
2) Check whether are you able to send the mails from mail client to the desired destination.
3) Verify the Port number given to the SMTP, by default it is 25. And also verify it is not blocked on the
firewall.
4) Also verify whether ip address of the server machine where job server is installed is included in the
allowed list at the SMTP server end.

Does Crystal Report 10 compatible with JVM 1.5/1.6

Hi,
I am working on a project that use Crystal Report 10 Advanced Developer's Java Reporting Component APIs to generate report. Java Bean Connectivity feature is also used
My client suggests us to use JVM 1.5/1.6, but according to the link http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/cr10_supported_platforms.pdf.asp, Crystal Report 10 was only tested with JVM 1.4.2, and Crystal Report 10 is pretty old product, before the JVM 1.5 release
Would like to know if someone has used JVM 1.5/1.6 with Crystal Report 10 Java Reporting Component APIs/Java Bean Connectivity?? if they works together probably

Hi,
You should upgrade Crystal Report 10 to Crystal Report 2008 to keep utilizing publishing from Crystal Report designer or you can use u201CPublishing Wizardu201D to publish these report which are created in Crystal Report 10. But you will not be able utilized any new feature and any bug fixed after Crystal Report 10.
My recommendation will be to upgrade to Crystal Report 2008.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,

Crystal runs sql command of first sub report in the second sub report ?

Hi,
I have report that contains 3 sub reports.
Each subreport is running his own sql command to retrieve it's data.
When moving from the first subreport to the 2nd subreport, we see on the oracle that the crystal runs the sql command of the 1st subreport, and then the sql command of the 2nd subreport.
The results are fine (he ignores the 1st subreport result in the 2nd subreport), but it delays the showing of the 2nd subreport to show.
Why? The 2nd subreport doesn't need the data of the 1st subreport!
How do I cancel that????
BTW - The 3rd subreport is running only his own sql command (As should be).
Thanks.

Hello,
Not without more info about the report and the data. If there is nothing linked from the main report to sub1 then it's going to run and return all data, no filtering. And from the sounds of it to take 5 + minutes per query this is going to affect performance for the whole report.
You may want to re-evaluate why and what the subreports are used for. If they all use the same data the link them in the main report use groups to sort the data.
Having subreports in the Details section is asking for performance problems, every record returned will cause the subreport to run. Not knowing what the subs are doing I can't say for sure....
What you should do also is re-evaluate your Commands for each sub and see if you can do it either in one SQL statement or write a Stored Procedure to do all of the data collection. DB Servers are much more efficient at collecting data than CR will ever be. Pushing just the results to CR makes it simply formatting the results in the Designer and no performance hits....
Talk to your DBA on how to optimize your Command SQL's and how to get them into one SQL or into a SP that dumps the final results into a final SQL * from TEMP Table into Crystal.

Ad hoc reports in Report Viewer control

I've been looking all over the web to find an answer to my bosses question. Can a report viewer control be used to create a report from scratch, or does it have to be a report already designed in SSRS.

Using Web Services on the Crystal Report Server XI to return reports

Hi,I'm trying to setup for the first time a Crystal Reports Server XI R2 and put a couple of reports onto the server. This is so I can access the reports on the crystal reports server using using the crystal web services and finally display the reports in an ASP.NET web application.So far I have installed the server, created a couple of reports, put them on the server, and tested to see that I can access the reports using the Central Management Console. This all works fine and the reports are returned. Ok, now for the bit that's not working. I've got a C# ASP.NET web application, and I've followed a couple of <a href="http://support.businessobjects.com/documentation/product_guides/cr_net/vs_2005/html/crtsktutorialsotherdynamicpulldownwebservicehelpermethod.htm" target="_blank" title="Adding a Helper Method to Access Crystal Reports Web Services">tutorials</a> to give me an idea of what I should be doing to use the Web Services that are provided: <ul><li>ServerFileReportManager.asmx</li><li>ServerFileReportService.asmx </li></ul>However, it appears that when I list the child objects on the crystal server:<blockquote>serverFileReport = new ServerFileReport(); serverFileReport.ReportPath = ""; reportManagerRequest = new ReportManagerRequest(); reportManagerRequest.ExtraData = serverFileReport.GetExtraData(); reportManagerRequest.ParentUri = serverFileReport.ToUri(); ReportManagerResponse reportManagerResponse = new ReportManagerResponse(); reportManagerResponse = serverFileReportManagerProxy.ListChildObjects(reportManagerRequest);</blockquote>I always get a reportManagerResponse.ReportUris with a count of 0. Now the thing is I know that I have a couple of reports on the Crystal Server, but for some reason they're not been picked up. I must be missing something.Does anyone have any ideas??? Please!Many thanks in advance, ChrisCurrent Set-up:<ul><li>Crystal Reports Server XI R2 (11.5)</li><li>Virtual Directory of the web services: crystalreportviewers115 </li><ul><li>(Physical Path - C:\Program Files\Business Objects\common\3.5\crystalreportviewers115)</li></ul><li>Development Environment: Visual Studio 2005</li></ul>

I looks like your mixing technologies here. You are using Crystal Report Server and the Crystal Report Web Services that come with Visual Studio.I know that this might seem like they are the same product, and the naming does seem confusing but I'll try and make it easy for you to understand.Crystal Reports Server - This is a managed reporting solution which allows you to distribute your reports via the web. It has features like scheduling and built in security.It appears that you have a handle on what Crytal Report Server is from what you have been able to accomplish those far. You have created your report and published it to Crystal Report Server and viewed it via the Central Management Console. Crystal Reports Server has two methods for accessing the reports programatically.1. The Enterprise SDK2. The Web Services SDK<a href="/node/353">Check out this white paper that compares these two SDKs </a><a href="/node/256">This paper describes the Web Services SDK.</a>In the above paper there is a getting started section which points you to the Developer Library which shows you how to install the web services on your Crytal Reports Server machine.Crystal Reports Server does not have the Business Object web services installed by default so I would suggest following the directions in the <a href="http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm">Developer Library.</a>The directions wont talk about Crystal Reports Server but these are the directions to get the Web Services installed. There is another web services technology which you are writing code for which is called Crystal Report Web Services. This technology comes with Visual Studio 2003. It provides un-managed reports via webservices. Un-managed means these reports are not published to Crystal Reports Server.So basically your problem is that your code is for Crystal Report Web Services but you are trying to view reports published to Crystal Reports Server. To take advantage of scheduling and security and web service access I would suggest using Crystal Reports Server and install the Business Objects Platform webservices to access the reports. I hope that's clear. Rob Horne <a href="/blog/10">Rob's blog - http://diamond.businessobjects.com/blog/10</a>
