Dynamic name for a report

Hi,
I have a report query that print the emplyee report
I use BI publisher.
The report query name attribute is : employee.
This name is static, in other word for each employee i get the same name (employee.pdf).
But i want that the name of the report will be dynamic.
for example if i have to print the jhon report i get jhon.pdf
for david i get david.pdf
My question is: is it possible?
If yes how can I do that
Thanks,
Abdo

Hi,
Assuming that your link is just part of the page somewhere, then you could create a hidden page item that has the desired name in it (typically populated by a computation or process that runs Before Header). You should then be able to use:
f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=&P1_EMPLOYEENAME.Where P1_EMPLOYEENAME is the hidden page item name.

Define Logical Systems and Template Names for BW Reports

Hi experts
I would like to know if someone used the mentioned functionality 'Define Logical Systems and Template Names for BW Reports, I would like to know too IF I create a Z REPORT for example in webdynpro and insert it in this configuration it will work and where it will appear in sourcing cockpit?
sds.
Javier

Hello Muthu,
BW reports will be shown in SRM Box if the corresponding BW roles for SRM are integrated with SRM roles.
You might to activate the corresponding datasource of this in SRM.
And since you have to connect the source system to BW, I think you have to define SRM system as logical system in BW.

Editing the Query name for all reports in PRD.

Dear All,
I have created 25 reports using Query Designer.We have moved all the reports to BI Production. And Clients are using these reports using the Tool Bex Analyser.
Every time they are navigating through open Query -> Info Areas -> Data targets and Query.
Instead of going this way, is there any other way to Open a query easily.
And they wants to modify the Report name and the Technical name for all the reports. Can we able to edit the Query name for all reports, or do i need to go for SAVE AS for all querys.
Pls Suggest.
Thanks,
Ram

Hi Ram,
1. For the first question; if it user specific query then ask the users to save them at the FAVORITES so that there is no need to go to the dataprovider specific.
Or they can create the reports as favorites user menu screen of that particular user.
2. In order to change the technical name and description of the queries goto RSZC t-code> give the source and target infoprovider as same> select queries>click on the reports>click on transfer selections-->
Then you get a screen to change the description and technical name.
But this is pertained to Infoprovider level.
You can see all the reports on the infoprovider (cube/ods).
Hope you understood.

Dynamic Name for Yellow Interface Table

Hi All,
Can anybody guide me how to use dynamic name for Yellow Interface Target Table.
Eg: T_SESSIONID.
I tried
1)Refreshing the SESSIONID in a Variable V1 and using T_#V1 directly
2) Refreshing the T_#V1 in a Variable V2 and using #V2
But its not creating properly.
Please guide.

You want to create dynamic target table name right?
You can refresh a variable like #GET_SESSION
#GET_SESSION= SELECT <%=odiRef.getSession("SESS_NAME")%> FROM DUAL
My tmp table name like TMP_#GET_SESSION
then in your package refresh #GET_SESSION variable and you can use it.
I hope this can be helpful

So this database link value for the query could be any. Can anyone guide me hot to write a dynamic select statement so that i could append database link value at run time.
Thanks

Hi,
You can not directly use a PL/SQL query to create an Interactive Report - that is not yet available.
What you could do is create a collection from your query and then use that for the report. Have a look at: [http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B32472_01/doc/appdev.300/b32471/advnc.htm#BABGHJFD].
In there, you will see APEX_COLLECTION.CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY - this allows you to create a collection from a string. You could add a PL/SQL process to your page that runs "On Load: Before Header" that actually creates the collection. Something like:
BEGIN
IF APEX_COLLECTION.COLLECTION_EXISTS('MYCOLLECTIONNAME') THEN
APEX_COLLECTION.DELETE_COLLECTION('MYCOLLECTIONNAME');
END IF;
APEX_COLLECTION.CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY('MYCOLLECTIONNAME','MY SQL QUERY STRING');
END;Your Interactive Report can then be based on:
SELECT SEQ_ID, C001, C002, C003, ...
FROM APEX_COLLECTIONS
WHERE COLLECTION_NAME = 'MYCOLLECTIONNAME'The tricky part is the headings as these would tend to be the SEQ_ID, C001, C002, C003, etc column names from the collection itself.
To get around this, make sure that the report's sql statement includes as many Cnnn columns as you will need for the widest of the reports. Before doing anything else, run the report once to make sure that all these columns are included in the output.
Then, through Shared Components, Application Items, create items that will hold heading names - for example, G_HEADING1, G_HEADING2 etc - one for each possibile column.
Now, update the process to:
BEGIN
IF APEX_COLLECTION.COLLECTION_EXISTS('MYCOLLECTIONNAME') THEN
APEX_COLLECTION.DELETE_COLLECTION('MYCOLLECTIONNAME');
END IF;
IF ..test1.. THEN
APEX_COLLECTION.CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY('MYCOLLECTIONNAME','MY SQL QUERY STRING 1');
:G_HEADING1 := 'ColumnHeading1Value';
:G_HEADING2 := 'ColumnHeading2Value';
:G_HEADING3 := NULL; -- column not used for this query, so set it to null
ELSIF ..test2 .. THEN
APEX_COLLECTION.CREATE_COLLECTION_FROM_QUERY('MYCOLLECTIONNAME','MY SQL QUERY STRING 2');
:G_HEADING1 := 'ColumnHeading1Value';
:G_HEADING2 := 'ColumnHeading2Value';
:G_HEADING3 := 'ColumnHeading3Value';
ELSIF ...etc...
.. etc ...
END IF;
END;Finally, on the report itself, set the column headings to *&G_HEADING1.*, *&G_HEADING2.* etc. Then, on each column, set a Condition of "Value of Item in Expression 1 is NOT NULL" and in Expression 1, enter in the application item for that column - eg, G_HEADING1
I have done all that here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=16338:5] - select either Departments or Employees from the list and the report will change.

Exchange 2010 SP3 Create Dynamic DL for Direct Reports

I am not sure this is possible but if there is a will there is a way I guess.
System: Exchange 2010 SP3 on Windows Server 2008 R2
I am trying to see if there is a way to create dynamic DLs for Manager(s) direct reports.
Example: Manager has 5 people that report directly to them, is there a way to make an dynamic email distribution list that will poll the direct reports as people leave or hired.
I know I can create one manually but some depts. may have high turnover rates which increase overhead so I am just trying to simplify the process. I of course googled my question but not getting the results I intended.
Thanks.

hi,
as from above i understand you are asking about creating an custom attribute and then referencing them .. if yes please check below command
Get-Mailbox -OrganizationalUnit Sales | Set-Mailbox CustomAttribute1 "SalesOU"Now you can create an e-mail address policy for all recipients that have the CustomAttribute1 property that equals SalesOU, as shown in this example.
New-EmailAddressPolicy -Name "Sales" -RecipientFilter { CustomAttribute1 -eq "SalesOU"} -EnabledEmailAddressTemplates "SMTP:%s%[email protected] check this.. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee423541%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
MARK AS USEFUL/ANSWER IF IT DID

Dynamic Title for Interactive Report?

I have an interactive report where I am passing in interative report filters. This is great becase it allows me to reuse a single interactive report in different ways. However, one drawback I am running into is the report title. I'd really like to be able to change the report title based on the filters that I pass in. Is this possible? Can the report title be dynamic?
Thanks,
Andrew Watson

It,s possible.
I'm using item references to alter the report title.
Set the item value to the title that you want for your report and the region name as the example.
Example: Report &P1_ITEM. &P1_ITEM1. &P1_ITEM2. and so far.

Need to execute Dynamic query for the report

I was wondering if we can have the option of choosing at runtime from the report builder parameter so that if the end-user selects 'Yes' then the report will run one specific query and if he chooses 'No' then another particular query is invoked. What I mean to say that by choosing between Yes and No at runtime one should have the option of returning query results based on the same table but having different columns selected via the SELECT statement
means we have two querires on our report & upon the chosen parameter we should execute only one of them ... wht should i do to apply tht ???

As the previous post noted lexicals are a terrific way to accomplish dynamic queries in Oracle reports.
Another way you could accomplish this would be to use a UNION, whereas the first select in the UNION represents one user option, then second query represents the second option.
For example:
SELECT customer_name name, customer_address address
FROM customer_table
WHERE :p_choice = 'Customer Info'
UNION
SELECT employee_name name, employee_address address
FROM employee_table
WHERE :p_choice = 'Employee Info'If when running the report, the user chooses 'Customer Info' the first query would return results, if the user chose 'Employee Info' then just information from the second query would return information.
So there are different ways to accomplish what you are looking for, you just need to find which is going to work best for you.
Hope this helps!

Dynamic names for I$ ,C$ and E$ tables in ODI

Dear ODI Team,
We have a requirement where we are loading header data and then line data in our Package.ODI internally creates work tables to load data into target tables.If multiple sessions of the same interface is executed at the same time the I$table of the previous session affects the I$ table of the next session.Hence if session1 has completed loading then it is at the stage of dropping the I$ table.Hence the second session is erroring out.Kindly let me know if there is an option to create these work table names dynamically for each session
Thanks ,

Generating dynamic columns for a report

Hi all,
      Can anybody pls. tell me how to output dynamic columns in a report. my req. is that i've to generate so many columns as there are no. of unique(a particular field value) rows in my internal table. for e.g say suppose i've 5 rows in my internal table which has 2 fields, one short text & it's corresponding value. so now my report output shud have 5 columns with the short text as the column heading & the their corresponding values below each column heading. i heard it can be done thru field-symbols. can anyone pls. guide me.

Hi Sushma,
This piece of code might be useful.
The following sections will help you to understand the steps required to define a Dynamic ALV.
Following symbol signifies:
Þ                    Important
Main Steps Required
The following are the main steps that are to be performed for defining a dynamic Alv
1.       Defining a field catalog
2.       Defining the dynamic table
3.       Filling data into the table
4.       Displaying ALV list
Defining a field catalog
The purpose of defining a field catalog first in case of Dynamic ALV is somewhat different than in case of normal ALV. In case of Dynamic ALV the field catalog is used to define the final internal table that will hold the data, and would be used to display the final output.
Þ It is very important to remember that the field catalog table be refreshed first, else it might give an error.
For example:
DATA: T_FIELDCAT TYPE LVC_T_FCAT,
L_FIELDCAT TYPE LVC_S_FCAT.
   Refresh T_FIELDCAT.
CLEAR L_FIELDCAT.
L_FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME = 'LIFNR'.
L_FIELDCAT-INTTYPE = ''.
L_FIELDCAT-OUTPUTLEN = 10.
L_FIELDCAT-COLTEXT = TEXT-002.
APPEND L_FIELDCAT TO T_FIELDCAT.
Defining the dynamic table.
This table will hold the final data that needs to be displayed. To declare the table the following things need to be done.
Declare a field symbol
Displaying Alv List
This is done in the same way as we do for normal Alv. Call function REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and pass the field catalog table in the export parameters and the dynamic table in Tables.
Reward Points if it is helpful.

Custom dynamic names for outbound payment files in R12

I have asked this on a couple of forums, but somehow missed this one.
We are upgrading from 11i to R12 and require custom dynamic file names for the Payments output files (cheques, advices, efts). I see that you can create a custom prefix and extension through payment profiles, but the functionality is very limited (i.e. no date stamp). I am thinking that others must have come across this before, and am wondering how you have handled such a requirement. Is it possible to add custom steps to the seeded payment process? Can the payment process be run as part of a request set and then a custom step added which grabs the output file and renames it based on information obtained from the batch and the process profile. Our goal is a fully automated payment process where batches are scheduled, processed and files renamed and sent out to banks and a 3rd party printer with no user interventation.
Any advice/tips would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Tam.

Hi Tam,
Could you please let me know if you got the solution as we have a similar requirement of renaming the output file as perthe business needs fro which we need custom program.
Thanks,
Manas

Dynamic Logic for a report: User Maintained Logic

Hi All,
I've come across a requirement that needs to build a report.
However, the set of definitions defined for the report output might change over time.
Now every time the Definitions change, the User might have to request the change in the report through a development.
Is there a way, where the Users can maintain certain set of rules and which can be maintained easily, but also allow the report to dynamically pick up the logic that it needs to process the data to the required output layout.
To explain a little more in detail;
Data from ZTABLEA is reported out by issuing each line with a BucketID.
The report will aggregate the data to each Bucket Levels in output.
But, The Logic for issuing the ZTABLEA line with a BucketID can change over time.
So, a ZTABLEA line which was issued a BucketID_1 initially when FIELD1 of ZTABLEA = A,
can later be assigned to another BucketID when FIELD1 of ZTABLEA = A.
And this assignment needs to be maintained by the Users.
Some of these Logics can be complex in the sense that they Could span over several Fields for a condition.
Please advice. Any and all suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
RK.

Following in from what Kev said.
There's dynamic SQL available (which you should put in a TRY...CATCH....ENDTRY block), so they can effectively define a WHERE condition, which would be stored in your table.
I'd suggest that you have a check when they save the new logic, that the where clause is valid.
If you need some kind of other dynamic abap look at GENERATE, READ REPORT and other associated keywords in the ABAP help.
