Download OBIEE report followed with date of report generation

Hi All,
We have the requirement that whenever the user generates the report and tries downloading, the report should be downloaded into the desired format with name as report name+date of report generation automatically.
May I know if this is feasible rather than user user entering the name?
Thanks Shravan

I know this post is very old, but my answer might hlep in the future.

  • Error message downloading OBIEE Report to Excel "is in a different format"

    Dear experts:
    We just upgraded to 10.1.3.4.1 in our Dev environment and are seeing a pecuiliar behavior when we try to download a report to either "Excel" or "Excel 2000".
    After selecting Excel (or Excel 200) from the Download Link, we get the following message that pops up:
    The file you are trying to open 'Period Summary.xls' is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify the file is not corrupted and is from trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?
    We are then given the choice of Yes, No, or Help
    When I click Yes, the File does open, but why this message? I can see the users complaining about this message.

    I found the link to MSDN site which states that this is a "known problem" and MS will provide a fix at a future date.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/vsofficedeveloper/pages/Excel-2007-Extension-Warning.aspx
    Also, the following metalink documents address this: 780817.1, 759410.1
    This is the expected behavior due to security restrictions implemented in MS Office 2007
    Solution
    The following is the workaround for this issue:
    Client desktops can change the default behavior of the security check using a registry key. The following registry key can be set to alter the behavior of the Excel 2007 client in the following ways:
    Disclaimer from Microsoft: WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
    Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Security
    Value: (DWORD)"ExtensionHardening" = [0 = Disable check; 1 = Enable check and prompt; 2 = Enable check, no prompt deny open]
    I have searched through OBIEE Oracle docs, but didn't find any mention of this issue.
    Has anyone seen any OBIEE workaround for this?

  • Incomplete download of OBIEE report with Javascript

    Hi,
    When I try to download a report ( containing Javascript code ) to excel, it does not do a complete download. The resulting excel sheet only contains a part of the result fetched by the report.
    I when I try to do the same activity with a report that does not contain javascript, the complete result set is downloaded to excel.
    Any help in this matter would be much appreciated.
    Denu

    Hi Joe,
    I found out that this behavior is occuring in all my reports that have a hyperlink specified in the 'fx' whether the report contains javascript or not.
    To cite an example
    A report has only 6 columns. Out of which the first column contains a list of order numbers. These order numbers have hyperlinks on them
    the following is the code in 'fx' section of the order column
    ''||CAST("Item Loc Order Revisions"."Order #" as char)||''
    where I am using the session variable NQ_SESSION.RMS_URL.
    On the dashboard, I have enabled the download link for this report.
    When I try to download an excel format of this report, the resulting excel only has one record. While the report actually has 3 records.
    I have tried with IE version 7, Mozilla firefox and Google Chrome. All of them provide the same results.
    When I remove the hyperlink from the column, save the report, and try downloading it from the dashboard, I am able to see all the 3 records in the excel.
    Thanks

  • OBIEE report with HFM and Essbase Data source

    Hi All,
    Just want your though can we get the data from HFM and Essbase data source in a single report i.e. for some account i want to show budget data from HFM and Forecast data from essbase in a single OBIEE report? If yes how can we model both Data source in rpd?

    It possible but the challenge is to try to align the account hierarchy and the entity hierarchy between Essbase and HFM. HFM is looking the data at a top side consolidation level where planning will have more granular details to forecast correctly. The best solution is either to build a custom table in to import both sources, or to use HFM data into Essbase, or to use EPMA. The best in class solution stays to align hierarchies and metadata across applications. We implemented BI Financials Dashboard for the General Ledger, built a custom Dashboard connected in Real Time to Planning and are installing OFMA to connect HFM. Once done, you can rationalize metadata if not done before and start to link the different data into single reports. You will also have to ensure the data is refreshed at the same time to avoid inconsistency.

  • Download ALV report with layout to application server

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a problem as follows:
    I have one ALV Grid report. This report is very time consuming.
    That is why, user wants this to be run in background every night and in the morning when user comes to the office that ALV report should be on user's drive in excel format.
    However, it should run with one specific variant and that variant should be dynamically populated. (I have handled this part)
    It should also apply specific layout that has many filtering conditions.
    As I can not download ALV to excel in background, I decided to download it to the Application server.
    My problem is that when run in background, in spool ALV report shows o/p with proper filter conditions that is 5 out of 20 records.
    But, when I write this report o/p to Application server, it writes all the records in there, i.e., all 20 records. It does not take into account all the filters. [:(]
    I also tried downloading spool to excel, but o/p is not neatly formatted. All columns are fying here and there.
    Any suggestion, how can I write ALV o/p to Application server with layout into consideration?
    P.S. I have searched forum for this type of query, but no apt responses.
    Thanks

    did u downloaded the report with standard option provided in the alv and checked the data? that is populating all 20 records?. if so then use coding for achieving the standard one
    at the end of selection do like this ..
    SET USER-COMMAND ' %PC' .
    and in the user-command use like this..
    case sy-ucomm.
    when '  %PC'.
    give the file name ..
    do processing ..
    endcase.

  • How to make OBIEE reports available during the DB tables data refresh?

    Experts,
    We have our production ETL run for 2.5 days every month. OBIEE reports will not be available during the run. We have a requirement to make the reports available all 24 hrs 365 days. So, what we are trying is to copy all the fact/Dim tables to the new schema running in the same or different DB server and amend the connection pool to point this schema during the run. Here are my questions. Is this a workabale solution (or) is there better approach for meeting our requirement
    Regards,
    Sarvan

    I would suggest this option:
    Store the following connection pool values in a table and call them in your connection pool using Connection Pool Scripts
    Data Source Name
    User ID
    Pwd
    when ever you want to change db just you need to edit these values that would help your bi with no downtime.
    You might have to tweak it little bit if needed.
    More or less we have use sometime back to a client where they want to switch dbs dev to test to etc
    Try it out.
    BTW: 2.5 days load time for Full load or Incr?

  • How to create a report with data using the Crystal Reports for Java SDK

    Hi,
    How do I create a report with data that can be displayed via the Crystal Report for Java SDK and the Viewers API?
    I am writing my own report designer, and would like to use the Crystal Runtime Engine to display my report in DHTML, PDF, and Excel formats.  I can create my own report through the following code snippet:
    ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
    boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
    However, I cannot find a way to add data elements to the report without specifying an RPT file.  Is this possible?  I seems like it is since the Eclipse Plug In allows you to specify your database parameters when creating an RPT file.
    is there a way to do this through these packages?
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definition
    Am I forced to create a RPT file for the different table and column structures I have? 
    Thank you in advance for any insights.

    Hi Rameez,
    After working through the example code some more, and doing some more research, I remain unable to populate a report with my own data and view the report in a browser.  I realize this is a long post, but there are multiple errors I am receiving, and these are the seemingly essential ones that I am hitting.

    There was other sample code on SDN which suggested the following - adding the table after calling table.setDataFields() as in:
              String tableName = "Building";
                String fieldname = "Building_Name";
                Table oTable = new Table();
                oTable.setName(tableName);

                field.setName(fieldname);
                field.setType(FieldValueType.stringField);
                field.setLength(40);
                fields.add(field);
                oTable.setDataFields(fields);
                oTable.setConnectionInfo(oConnectionInfo);
                rcd.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
    This code succeeds, but it is not clear how to add that database field to a section.  If I attempt to call the following:
    FieldObject oFieldObject = new FieldObject();
                oFieldObject.setDataSourceName(field.getFormulaForm());
                oFieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
                // Now add it to the section
                oFieldObject.setLeft(3120);
                oFieldObject.setTop(120);
                oFieldObject.setWidth(1911);
                oFieldObject.setHeight(226);
                rcd.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().add(oFieldObject, rcd.getReportDefController().getReportDefinition().getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0), -1);
    Then I get an error (which is not unexpected)
    com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportDefControllerException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213283 Error code name:invalidFieldObject
    How do I add one of the table.SetDataFields()  to my report to be displayed?
    Are there any other pointers or suggestions you may have?
    Thank you

  • Issue with Date showing Null in interactive report

    I created an interactive report for a customer and was confused to see blanks or more specifically dashes where there should be dates in one of the fields. I knew this field should have data so I did some testing and this is what I have found:
    The sql I am running is:
    select
    assigned_to_company,
    last_resolved_date,
    incident_id
    from
    rhpd0009_im_adherence_rpt2_vw
    When I run the command in SQL workshop I get the following results with data in the last_resolved_date field:
    [http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j299/yogibayer/apexdateissuesqlcommand.jpg]
    I copied and pasted the SQL from SQL workshop and created a new interactive report and got the following results with no last_resolved_dates showing up:
    [http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j299/yogibayer/apexdateissueinteractivereport.jpg]
    For some reason the order is different, but the first one INC1117629 shows up in both of them and has a last_resolved_date in SQL workshop, but not in the interactive report. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank You
    Scott

    Varad,
    It seems to be related to the function we use to convert Remedy dates to Viewable dates. Remedy dates are stored as an integer that represents the absolute number of seconds from Jan 1, 1970 at 12:00 AM. We use a function that converts this number into a human readable date. I have tried encapsulating the result of the function in a TO_DATE and a TO_CHAR with the same results as before. There is something about the resulting data from the date convert function that Apex doesn't like. It would be interesting to isolate what exactly the issue is, but right now I'm just trying to find a work around.
    Thank You

  • How to retrieve data from xml file into obiee reports

    Hi all,
    I've got a situation here. A xml file is stored as blob in oracle database table. Now i need to retrieve data/info from that xml file into obiee reports. How am i supposed to proceed with this ?

    I will go for a table function:
    http://gerardnico.com/wiki/database/oracle/table_function
    In two words, you can create a function that behave as a table. Then you create a function to pick up your xml, you parse it and you send back the rows.
    I know that Oracle has also a library for XML files but I never use it until now.
    Success

    Regards,

    HI Kishore
    Thanks for your reply i checked all the things but with no success. do think there could be any other place where i should check .
    1. nqsconfig date format
    its same for both the two installations
    DATE_TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd hh:mi:ss" ;
    DATE_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "yyyy/mm/dd" ;
    TIME_DISPLAY_FORMAT = "hh:mi:ss" ;
    2. make sure that you didn't save date format in column properties from front-end
    Just checked and we havan't saved anything in column properties .. even i created new report as well but still format was same ..
    3. Did you mention anything in connection pool settings to set date format.
    no we havan't mention anything in connection pool
    4. Make sure that you are connecting to same database, and date format set for date is same here and there
    yahh both the two installatiosn are connected to same database .. but not sure about "date format set for date is same here and there
    " hw i can check this
    finally, check this: http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/04/changing-date-format-mask-in-javascript.html
    no its not on one column .. its to all the date format columns on all the reports .. so i think its not case with me .
