Execute BIP Reports from Concurrent Manager

We currently have EBS and are using XML Publisher that is embedded in EBS.
However, we would like to deploy a dedicated BIP Server for our reporting needs and call our reports from EBS via concurrent jobs.
Is there a documented method to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
You could call BIP web services eg. from java concurrent programs, but with separate BIP server you'd have extra licensing, integration complexity to contend with.
Is your issue performance or do you want to use BIP Server functionality independently? If performance, might be better to go for parallel concurrent processing.
Are the reports you mention in "call our reports" custom reports or standard EBS reports? Either way you'd need to create the reports on BIP server and consider integration.

Gareth

Issue when opening a report from concurrent manager

Hi all,
Our EBS instance worked well and stable. But two days ago, we met a strange issue as below description:
When user clicks "View Output" or "View log" from concurrent manager, they see the error in the pop-up: "Authentication failed" or "File server could not identify source file". The link in the pop-up is in "http://hostname/OA_CGI/FNDWRR.exe?temp_id=<number>" format.
After some attempts to refresh this pop-up page or close pop-up - re-click "View output" our user can see the correct output as normal. Sometimes, they click view output once and get the correct output immediately. The messages we've got is not same during these attempts, it could be authentication failed or "File server could not identify source file" randomly.
We've tried to find the solutions from metalink and from some threads in this forum but nothing can help. It's our production system.
Hope to see the solution from you

Can you find any errors in the CM/Database/OS log files?
Can you confirm that the concurrent requests output/log files have been generated successfully at the OS level? Does this issue happen with all concurrent requests or specific ones only?

Generating pdf report via concurrent manager and xml publisher

I have report (rdf) which works fine in eBusiness Suite but Id like to create translatable reports with reach layout (comparing with the Report Builder) based on the functionalities of the XML publisher. Ive made all necessary steps (first change the output format for that report in concurrent manager from pdf to xml, submit the report to get xml file, which Ive used in Microsoft Word Template Builder to make layout in rtf file, and create data and template in XML Publisher Administrator in eBusiness Suite).
When Ive submitted that report from concurrent manager, after the concurrent manage finished his job I got the warning message.
Also the output file is not generated and in log file there is a message: One or more post-processing actions failed. Consult the OPP service log for details.
Concurrent manager works fine, but there are problem when concurrent manager send the xml output of the report to XML Publisher which have to create pdf layout based on rtf template.
I think there might be a problem with report complexity, while Ive used layout formatting, api calls to eBusiness Suite, parameters, placeholders, attached library etc.
If it is impossible to get new report based on xml publisher template, what is the purpose of xml publisher if it is so limited, while every eBusiness Suite Report is so complex.
I hope there will be a person on this forum with the same problem, otherwise Ill give up at all from XML Publisher, at least until it come a better version of that tool which it seems to be in early development phase and not ready for the market yet.

All of the complex report logic is handled in your Oracle Report (rdf) file.
If your Oracle report is working OK, then this report should be generating XML.
After running your report, go to the View Requests window. Highlight your request, and click the Diagnostics button. Then click the 'View XML' button. If you see XML data, then you should be OK.
When I faced a similar issue, it was because the '1 step' process didnt work for the particular report I was using. The '1 step' process doesn't work for every report. Which report are you using?
If the report is submitted via a form (not the concurrent manager request form), then you probably need to use 2 steps to produce the desired output.
For more information, see the following thread:

How to print BIP reports from Oracle Forms?

Hi all,
I have a question in regards to printing BIP reports from Oracle Forms... We are aiming for a server installation of BIP with integration to Oracle Forms using SSO to handle security. We use Forms built-in web.show_document to render and view the report in PDF/Excel etc... We would like to by pass the viewing and print some of these reports directly to the printer.
Any idea/suggestions how we can go about this?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Yahya

Yahya,
via HTTP it's not possible to send a report directly to the printer. You had to go via the Scheduler, which is able to do that. With the WebService API you can call a report with the Scheduler and Execute Immediate.

Unable to view output from concurrent manager

Hello all,
I am unable to view output from concurrent manager, I am using IE 8 32bit on Windows 7 & adobe 10.0.1
It gives a blank page
We are trying to view an xml report
EBS 11.5.10.2
db : 10.2.0.
linux 4 update 5
I have already reffered below documents but for no luck
Note: 888932.1 - R12.1 Unable To View Output For Xml Outputs - View Output Button - The window opens up And Disappear Automatically
Note: 305850.1 - Unable To View Output Of PDF Report When Clicking ''View Output''
Thanks.

Is the issue with XML/PDF concurrent requests or with all requests?
Can you find any errors in Apache/Database log files?
Is the application listener up and running? Can you find any errors in the listener log file?
Have you tried to run AutoConfig and bounce the services and see if this helps?
Thanks,
Hussein

BLANKPAGES=NO from Concurrent Manager?

I have a report written in 6i. The report has a main section and a trailer section. Based on a user-provided parameter, I suppress all of the items on one section or the other. The report runs only from Concurrent
Manager, where the output format is "PDF".
Reports 6i always emits a blank page for whichever section was suppressed from printing. This is aesthetically
displeasing and wastes paper when printed.
Literally dozens of posts in the Reports forum are in regards to suppressing blank pages. One regular answer to
this question is to provide the command line parameter BLANKPAGES=NO. How can I provide this command
line argument to reports called from Concurrent Manager?
I originally posted this in the Reports forum, but they suggested posting here instead.
Thanks in advance!

Srini:
Your suggestion was exactly what I was looking for!
Hussein:
The note your listed was very illuminating.
Thank you both for your help!

Error while executing a report from Planning

Hi,
I've got this error message when I execute a report from Hyperion Planning (web) :
"5200: Error executing query. [1106] Error : Class component property name invalid[DataType]"
Can you help me please ?
Thanks.
Virgile.

I am not sure about it. But i remember once running into a similar issue where i made some changes in the metadata or outline and few members were dropped from the hierarchy and it came up with this error at the time of running
the report as my report was still trying to query the dropped members. But u said you have already checked and all your members are valid on the report. Is this happening with all the reports or just one. If its all the reports i would
restart the BI+ reporting services and then try to run the reports!

Problem while executing a report from Planning Web

Hi,
I've got this error message when I execute a report from Hyperion Planning (web) :
"5200: Error executing query. [1106] Error : Class component property name invalid[DataType]"
Can you help me please ?
Thanks.
Virgile.

I didn't see anyone post the resolution on this. I recently re-ordered the dimensions in my outline, and afterwards was getting that error. It's a simple fix of changing the database connection to something else, then changing it back. I was able to do this because I have multiple databases with the same outline structure. If you don't, possibly you may just have to re-create the connection, not sure.

i have a button in a form that run on forms10g that tri to execute a report in the web :
the trigger is this
**** when i try to execute the button the error is that the is impossibile to find the "report ID"???
there is a easist solution to execute a report from a form button ????
thank's !
DECLARE
report_id Report_Object;
BEGIN
report_id:= find_report_object('imm_print_01');
PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_LIST(report_id , 'repSRV' , 'pdf');
END;
the procedure run_report_object_list is the follow :
PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_LIST(report_id REPORT_OBJECT, reportserver
varchar2,
runformat varchar2) IS
report_job_id VARCHAR2(100);
vc_rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
paramlist_id ParamList;
paramlist_name VARCHAR2(10):=âtmplistâ;
BEGIN
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,
SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,
reportserver);
paramlist_id:= get_parameter_list(paramlist_name);

destroy_parameter_list(paramlist_id);
END IF;
paramlist_id:=create_parameter_list(paramlist_name);

add_parameter(paramlist_id,âdesformatâ,TEXT_PARAMETER,
runformat );
report_job_id:=RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id,paramlist_id);
END;

Please see that in your form you have created a "report object" with the same name ie "imm_print_01" . This is done using Forms builder in object navigator

Executing Sabrix Reports from SAP CPS

Does anyone know if we can executing Sabrix Reports from SAP CPS?
Thanks,
Bhushan

No. That was the first option I could think of. Executing it with ABAP Program.
I dont have much information about Sabrix System but what I understand is that automated tax reporting solution which runs batch processes in background during
night and email report with desired data in an excel spreadsheet format. Sabrix doesn’t have a custom solution to generate reports. They have suggested leveraging 3rd party tools for such requirement.

Running report in concurrent manager using unix shell script to create PDF

Hi,
I need help urgently, we are in the process of migrating from 10.7 to 11i. My problem is we have a report created in 10.7 that is ran through concurrent manager using shell scripts(host) and the output is stored as .pdf, in 10.7, it works perfectly. Now I am also doing it in 11i but it gives some error. The shell script from 10.7 is: r25runm module=$XXX_TOP/srw/test.rdf \
userid=$1 batch=yes \
desformat=pdf destype=file \
desname=$XXX_TOP/outbound/test.pdf
I change the shell script in 11i as follows:
ar60runb report=$XXX_TOP/reports/US/test.rdf \
userid=$1 batch=yes \
desformat=pdf destype=file \
desname=$XXX_TOP/outbound/test.pdf
I checked your metalink, and I am confused which is the right executable I should use, is it ar60runb or ar60run or rwrun60b or rwrun60c or rwrun60b, which is which? how many parameters do I have to include?, some documents are saying I have to use the 4 parameters-orauser/pwd, userid,username, request_id, others one.Which parameter/s go/es with what executable. We are using HP-UX server 64 bit. In 11i, when I run in concurrent manager it gives me an error:The executable file /chdev/fd11/u00/fd11appl/xxx/1.0/bin/test for this concurrent program cannot be executed.
Contact your system administrator or support representative. Verify that the execution path to the executable file is co.
I have checked Metalink and follow the directions, created a link fndcpesr, check and set the permissions, etc. Play around with the executables ar60runb or rwrun60 etc., the parameters. The ar60* or rwrun60* executable permissions are -rwxr-xr-x and $XXX_TOP/fnd/../fndcpesr is -rwxr-xr-x. Also, why is ar60* executables located in $FND_TOP/bin, whereas rwrun60* executables are in $ORACLE_HOME/bin? Please help, I need an answer urgently ,I have to complete this task before Tuesday 9/16/2003 for our migration deadline. Thank you very much.

I have already fixed the problem, TY anyway

How to run EBS:CP:Executable Synchronous, outside the concurrent manager

Is there any way , the executable, defined in Concurrent Manager can run Synchronously ie outside the concurrent manager.
Thanks.

If you run the executable through CM, it sit in the Queue and CM run the job based on the resource availability and that is asynchronous process.
We can access the Executable information based on the CP Report short name, What I am looking for is some logic/API, where I can execute/run this executable (example Oracle Report ) directly, by-passing the CM and get the output. May be some Synchronous process to display report/output as online not as schedule.
Or I can hold of API, which CM use to submit the Job from the Q. here I am not talking about the FND_REQUEST.Submit_Request API. this actually submit the request to CM Q. I am looking for the API, which further pick the request from the Q and call executable and run the request and generate the data.
Thanks.

Can u call a BIP Report from within Oracle Forms?

Hi,
We want to use BIP as a reports solution for a Forms 10g Application. Currently we use oracle Reports. I would be very grateful if anybody can show us how to do the following as I could not find it in any documentation. Of course, I get the feeling that these cannot be done, but I want to double-check.
(1.) How to call a BIP report with a input parameters from within an Oracle 10g Menu? i.e. when the user clicks on the menu item, BIP should be started and it should run the report within the BIP.
-- So we also need a way to pass parameters to the BIP
-- Also BIP has a different username/password also
Is this possible or NOT POSSIBLE( i.e. U have to ask the user to login to BIP and then run the report)?
Thanks & Regards,
CS

Hi,
Have a look in this document to get an idea how to do:
