Drill Down Error / Report Builder Limitations

I have been having alot of problems recently with the new
version of 7.0.2. A few things that i have noticed is that i can't
do drill downs anymore. I don't think it's a coding issue since it
was working in the previous 2 releases of Report Builder(7.0,
7.0.1).
Another problem is that I have reports that return around
1,000 pages. Now, I know there is a limitation on Flash Paper/Flash
Player, whoever i was wondering if there is a work around or
something i can do to get this reports to finish. Right now I get
the error roughly stating "A script has cause this flash movie to
become unstable and if you continue it might make the computer
unresponsive". Currently the only work around that i have is to
offer the same report in PDF format, however 90% of our customers
want to run it in flash paper, and my boss wonts it to work using
flash paper aswell.
Any sugguestions that you might have or anything please email
me. If you have any questions please email me aswell.
Thank you,
Daniel

Yeah, still having this issue... Can't get the links working
in Flash Paper. A temp fix is to have the report in PDF instead of
Flash.

Drill down error

Hello Experts
When I drill down a report according to Characteristics( ship_to and sold_to) The report is displaying following Messege"abort System error in Program Cl_RSDM_READ_MASTER_DATA and form_sidval_drect_" and the report is disconnecting from BW server, I rpaired all the Masterdata Objects in RSRV but no use? I checked in SAP Note, looks like no relevent notes for this error.
we are using BW3.1
Any guidance or suggestions
Thanks
SP

Hi SP,
Check you have done the identifications properly in the multi provider. The error message shows for the SID Conflict for the particular infoobject. In RSRV Could you please run the following test and if there are any errors you can run repair.

Drill down in report based on two queries

Hi,
I have a problem with drilling down in report which is based on two queries.
Queries are based on different universes.
Both queries contains almost the same dimensions but different measures.
In my report is a calculated measure based on measures from both queries.
In both universes are the same hierachies.
When I drill down in report for the first time I have to chose hierarchy but then data are filtered to the choosen value only from one query , data from second query are not filtered and the values of calculated measure are incorrect
How can I solve this issue without adding dimensions belonging to the hierarchies to queries.
Please help.
Regards.
MG

Hi MG,
First of all, what do you mean by "Both queries contains almost the same dimensions but different measures"
"Almost" is not a good word in the IT world, especially when trying to merge/join tables. You need to be exact.
That sounds like a possible reason for the problem.
I am also not sure about your question:
"How can I solve this issue without adding dimensions belonging to the hierarchies to queries."
You may have to add those dimensions to the queries. Why would you not want to?
Thanks

Unable to Drill Down for Report Designer

hellooo...I created a report using a query in Report Designer. My query is having a structure in the row and I'm using this query for the report in Report Designer. After I created this report in Report Designer, I assign this report in Web Application Designer and create a navigation pane to link this report for the drill down function. But I have problem on drill down this report in the web template when i click on this navigation pane for the free char i defined. Eg: when i drill down for the char in the free char under the navigation pane item, I cannot perform the drill down horizontally but can perform drill down vertically. After perform drill down, I don't see the values from that char being displayed in the reports. Just wondering report in report designer cannot have any drill down function? or is my query problem due to the structure i defined? thanks alotttt...

The report designer needs a fixed Column definition ( structures)
In case of drill across this requirement is not fullfilled.
This is not changable and is due to design, sorry.
so you can only drill down.
best regards,
Kai

Error: "Numeric value entered was too low " -drill down discoverer report

Hi ,
We have created a Discoverer drill down report (drill down to another worksheet). We have two worksheets one for the master and and the other for the detail.The parameters are passed to detail sheet (The link information is set using the Manage links option in the Discoverer plus) from the master. This whole thing works fine in dev instance.
We imported the business area . Deleted the existing file and the opened the new .dis file from local computer and then saved it to db.
Now the master report runs fine and when we click on the drill down link for the detail we get the following error
An error occured while handling the event.See the application log for more details.
- The numerical value entered was too low."
However the link works fine in plus and desktop in the same instance.
Kindly help.
Thanks,
Shobana

I hope you're not using Internet Explorer v7.
It has a specific problem with Disco Viewer, is not certified to work with it, and the error is drilling in Viewer.
The Oracle bug (metalink) is: 5608740
This bug prevents the listing of drill items under the drill icon.

Drill down in Graphic Builder

Hi,
Can you drill down from a chart in the Graphic Builder to report in the Report Builder. If yes can someone please help?
Thanks

Just a tip:
If you're working inside a af:region + ADF task flows, you have to declare your attributes as a input parameters and after that you'll be able to auto complete inside jspx or jsff pages.

URGENT!! Drill Down Error with Character Set non-ascii on Discoverer Viewer

Hi,
We have an error in a Drill down. It comes up when the Discoverer Viewer tries to process data that contains special character (non-ascii) in a query's filter. The same report that does not perform well with special characters, does perform well if the data dont contains special characters, so it seems to be an issue processing non-ascii chars in this Discoverer Viewer instance.
Ex. FIELD_NAME = 'Ã¶ÜÃ¦Ã¤é (This filter is contained in a query that this getting an error msg="We're sorry, the server encountered an unexpected condition" ).
It might be possible that there are some problems with the Discoverer charset ?
We will appreciate any suggestion about this respect.

Drill down error on Viewer

Hi, I'm having an error on Discoverer Viewer (Release 4.1.44) when I try to Drill down on an element. The drill down functionality works ok, except when the drill down elements are too many and needs to be drawn on Next Page. In that case I got an error ("The page cannot be display").
Anybody had that problem, or knows why it is happening?
Thanks in advance
Ivo

Though I cannot say without investigating this if this is a bug or due to some other issue, the first advice would be for you to upgrade to the latest patchset, 4.1.48 or later. There is a good chance that this issue, if a bug, may have been fixed in a subsequent release.
The other option would be to take a look at Metalink.Oracle.com and see this issue has been reported earlier.
Thanks

Drill down error in 10g - No Columns displayed

When drilling down on OBIEE 10g reports sometimes the result is "No columns displayed", we cannot find any particular reason why this happened. The columns are available and should show up so it's perceived as an error for our users.
Does anyone know how and why this happens and what a possible solution might be?
Much appreciated!

Hi SP,
Check you have done the identifications properly in the multi provider. The error message shows for the SID Conflict for the particular infoobject. In RSRV Could you please run the following test and if there are any errors you can run repair.

Drill down in report

I am looking to add some drill down functionality in one of my reports. Does anyone have an references (books, tutorials, or otherwise) that could provide an example. I'm running Reports 9i. TIA.

Hi,
One example you could look at is "Parameter form JSP".
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/index.html
In the example, you can search for customet name (eg, s%), then from the customer list you select one in order to view all its orders.
If you want to use the paper layout and output to HTML / HTMLCSS, in that case you can use the Hyperlinks property to create drill-down. You can look at "Building Reports" manual section 2.2.6 for information on Hyperlinks. Create a master report with hyperlinks, and in each hyperlink you can pass the full report command for the detail report with the relevant master infromation, eg, the customer_id or the department_id.

Analysis Wizard Drill Down Error

When i drill down on a fsg report on some rows I get the following error message
"This row is not unique. Drill cannot proceed"
This only occurs on some of the rows in the report
I have looked at the row definitions and can not see anything to suggest the row is anything but unique.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to identify the issue, and resolve my problem
Thanks

You can access the doc through My Oracle Support (MOS) website -- https://support.oracle.com
You will need to have a username/password to access the doc.

Drill down on report s_alr_87012999

Hi,
I'm having trouble tracing a drilldown problem on order reports such as S_ALR_87012999. When drilling down on plan line items an error message saying "No plan line items were selected" appears, yet there is a total against the account code, suggesting there is data there. An authorization check doesn't return any problems. Am I missing anything else?
thanks

Ian,
Are you using ST01 for the auth trace?
Reading the error message, it did not sound like an authorization error message to me. One way you can rule out whether this is an authorization problem or not, assign the test uid with SAP_ALL , and run the report to see if the error still persists. So you don't waste time on non-security error.
Hope this help.
Regards,
Lye

Drill down on reports

Hi guys,
Sorry posted this in the wrong forum first.
Need help. On the vanilla chart on the Service Request home page. If you click on one of the segments, it drill's down to a list of the SR's within that segment.
However when i create such as pie chart, the pie-chart cannot be drilled down. I read some stuff about actions link and setting a custom data type with 2 different html options but nothing is working.
Also as Mike had suggested previously, i tried setting the drill property in the interaction tab.
But no joy any advice?
Thanks
Minesh

Min,
The interaction you are attempting to replicate is a Navigate interaction rather than a Drill. You will need to create a target report with the detail columns you want. One of these columns needs to be the same column you are clicking on in the first report. Set a filter on this column to Is Prompted.
Now go back to your first report and on Step 1 of the Build and View Analysis screen format the column you want to drill on with a column interaction of Navigate and browse and identify the target report.
Go to Step 2 and do the same for the Chart. Edit the chart and set the Navigate interaction to the target report.
Both reports need to be in the shared space, but do not need to be in the same folder. User must have access to both reports in order to use the navigate drill down.
If you have questions about how this should be set up, Open the Pre-built Analysis named Open Service Request Analysis in the Pre-built Analysis/Service Analysis folder. This is the report that is on the Service Homepage. The target report is named Service List and is in the Pre-built Analysis/Quick List Reports folder.
Hope this helps.
Mike

Drill down in reports

Hi,
when I want to work with drill downs is this only possible with using hierarchies for the neccessary characteristics?
I'm working with SAP BW 3.5 and 7.
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: saplaz on Jun 23, 2010 11:11 PM

The report shows for example:
Risk class 1 customerX 500 Dollar
                    customerY 300 Dollar
                    customerZ 200 Dollar
                    Sum 1000
after drill down
Risk class 1.1 customerX 500 Dollar
Sum 500
Risk class 1.2 customerY 300 Dollar
Sum 300
Risk class 1.3 customerZ 200 Dollar
Sum 200
The thing is that I only want to see one row with the risk class like that:
Risk class 1 1000 Dollar
after the drill down the other rows should appear
Rc 1.1 customerX 500 Dollar
Rc 1.2 customerY 300 Dollar
Rc 1.3 customerZ 200 Dollar
Any ideas how this could be done?
