Export/Import pre-defined reports

Hi all.
Can i export reports (Dahsbooards, Pre-defined reports etc) created in one BI Server and import them to another? How? I have managed to import metadata using an rpd file but the reports havent changed...
Thanks, if I am not clear please tell me to explain, this is all new to me!

Open the RPD In online mode. In the physical layer, open up the connection pool that is being used for the database that reports are querying for data. Change the username and password. Check in connection pool, save the changes.
On a quick tip, the best way to handle this issue during migration is to use a static repository variable. Just create two variables for username and password and use these variables wherever required in the RPD. When you migrate the RPD, just change the values of the static repository variables after migration process. In this way you will avoid having to change the values of username and passwords in multiple places.
Hope your question is answered.

Pre-defined reports on activity

Post Author: Jon80
CA Forum: General Feedback
It seems that Business Objects XI provides pre-defined reports on the 'Activity' universe. Any idea where to get documentation on this universe and where to find these reports?
One of the reports should be named 'Document Information Detail'

Jon,
There is a PDF you should be able to find on the BusObjects Tech Support site entitled "xir2_bip_auditor" here.
Also, as Amr pointed out, there is under your install folder a sample datbase and reports (biar) files (C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Samples). If you install auditor after the fact, then you'll have institute both the universe and reporting capability using the import wizard.

Trying to change a pre-defined report. Date format is wrong, 20140217 should be 17.02.2014.

The pre-defined report in sccm "Computers with specific software registered in Add Remove Programs" has a query like this:
Select DISTINCT sys.Netbios_Name0, fcm.SiteCode, sys.User_Domain0, sys.User_Name0, sys.Operating_System_Name_and0, arp.DisplayName0,
arp.InstallDate0
FROM fn_rbac_R_System(@UserSIDs) sys
JOIN v_Add_Remove_Programs arp ON sys.ResourceID = arp.ResourceID
JOIN v_FullCollectionMembership fcm on sys.ResourceID=fcm.ResourceID
WHERE DisplayName0 like @filterwildcard and fcm.CollectionID=@CollID
I have highlighted the part that I added to the report.
I have inserted an extra column in Report Builder, and added the value inside the column and the install date can be viewed in the report. However the date format is shown like this: 20140217 - I want it to be 17.02.2014.
So I try to change this via right-clicking on the cell in Report Builder, Text Box Properties, Number. Here I choose Date and the correct format. However it does not change the date format when saving and running the report again. It just stays the same.

The format can be change if it was a date. But if you look that field it is NOT a date, it is a string and therefore will not change to the data format that you want.
On top of this, there is a bigger problem. Not ever setup records the date or in the same format so.....

Sorry - I am not sure what you mean by the last statement. "Not ever setup records the date or in the same format so.."
- Would it be possible to elaborate? Thank you very much.

How to create reports with the prompts like the pre-defined reports ?

We are analyzing pre-defined report: Historical Pipeline Analysis. When executed we can see the prompts for Pipeline Fiscal Quarter and Pipeline Fiscal Year.
If we open this analysis I cannot see how this prompt have been built.
If I save this pre-defined report (without any change) to My Folders and execute it from here, the prompts are gone.
I´d appreciate any help.
Antonio

I have the same issue. The prebuilt reports are actually dashboards, which is why the dashboard prompt filters show up.
I'm not sure how they get it to be a link like that on the reports tab (since the link doesn't point to a dashboard URL ).
Any idea how to get this same effect assuming I built the dashboard/prompt around updated report?

Submit/Export/Import in a report

Hi all ,
I have a report ZPP and know i am to developing a new report 'ZPP01' where i want to use the final internal table ITAB of 'ZPP' how to directly get the value of Final ITAB of ZPP into my report 'ZPP01' so that i use it's value directly in new report.
Thanks in advance,
Vivek

Hello Vivek,
For better understanding about export and import then see the below sample programs.
Create one program and paste below code :
REPORT ZTEST_AMEM1.
tables : lfa1.
data : begin of i_lfa1 occurs 0 ,
lifnr like lfa1-lifnr,
name1 like lfa1-name1,
land1 like lfa1-land1,
end of i_lfa1.
start-of-selection.
select lifnr
name1
land1 from lfa1
into table i_lfa1 up to 100 rows.
Export
export i_lfa1 to memory id 'SAP'.
submit ztest_amem2 and return.
write:/ 'hello'.
Now create one more program and paste below code :
REPORT ZTEST_AMEM2.
data : begin of j_lfa1 occurs 0,
lifnr like lfa1-lifnr,
name1 like lfa1-name1,
land1 like lfa1-land1,
end of j_lfa1.
start-of-selection.
import i_lfa1 to j_lfa1 from memory id 'SAP'.
loop at j_lfa1.
write:/ j_lfa1-lifnr,j_lfa1-name1,j_lfa1-land1.
endloop.
Now finally you will have idea about how to pass the data between two programs.
Thanks

[3.0.04] Delete user defined report folder

Hello Forum,
a few days ago, I got a new computer and exported my user defined reports from the old installation. After importing these into the new installation, all reports were put into an additional subfolder. Since I'm using german localization, the reports were put into "Benutzerdefinierte Berichte/Benutzerdefinierte Berichte". I could move them one folder up by cut and paste, but now I would like to delete the empty subfolder, but I don't have any menu options to do so.
Is there any way to get rid of that subfolder?
Many thanks in advance,
dhalek

Hi Binom,
Correct. In fact similar behavior reported in earlier posts such as...
Bug 2.1: Report folders are read only
1.5.5 Cannot add user defined report to folder
...resulted in the logging of an internal bug:
Bug 9231534 - FORUM:USER DEFINED REPORT FOLDER MISSING ACTIONS IN NON ENGLISH LOCALES
I updated it with a reference to this forum thread in order to give it a bump.

Export/Import Parameters dissapear when using user-exit

I am using some import/export parameters in a dynamic action when I create a new record (infotype). I am also using a user exit to avoid modifying BEGDA and ENDDA when I modify the record (IPSYST = 'MOD'). Using this user-exit, the parameters dissapear from memory so the dynamic action does not execute well. What can I do to use the user-exit?? Anything to add?

In the dinamic actions when I create, I delimit records on infotype with export/import parameters defined in infotype Module Pool. When I delete, I avoid deleting the record if it is not the last one. With the user-exit the modification of begda endda in infotype is not allowed. If I use the user-exit, the dinamic actions which use export/import parameters, don't work.
I have tried to do in MP what I do in user-exit but it is not easy because I haven´t got in PSAVE what I want.

Export & Import obsolete statment

Hi all,
The following code is showing as obsolete in ECC 6.0. Please suggest me what should i have to do it.
EXPORT itcpo TO MEMORY ID 'RFFORI01_ITCPO'.
IMPORT itcpo FROM MEMORY ID 'RFFORI01_ITCPO'.
here itcpo is a structure.
The error is : EXPORT var_1 ... var_n TO MEMORY ... is not supported in the OO context. Use
EXPORT name_1 from var_1 ... name_n from var_n TO MEMORY ... instead . . . . .

Hello Sapna
You have to code EXPORT / IMPORT like this:
*& Report ZUS_SDN_EXPORT_IMPORT
REPORT zus_sdn_export_import.
TABLES: itcpo.
DATA:
gs_itcpo TYPE itcpo.
START-OF-SELECTION.
itcpo-tddest = '1234'.
EXPORT gs_itcpo FROM itcpo TO MEMORY ID 'RFFORI01_ITCPO'.
CLEAR: itcpo,
gs_itcpo.
WRITE: / 'Before IMPORT:', '''', itcpo-tddest, ''''.
IMPORT gs_itcpo TO itcpo FROM MEMORY ID 'RFFORI01_ITCPO'.
WRITE: / 'After IMPORT:', '''', itcpo-tddest, ''''.
END-OF-SELECTION.

Official oracle stance on portal 9.0.2 migrate/export/import

i have been working with oracle support, scouring the forums and deja and metalink, applying patches, standing on my head... trying to export my 9.0.2 portal applications, reports, pages and such from a 9.0.2 implementation into an exact same 9.0.2 implementation. i have run into issues with the reports, issues with the pages, corrupt objects that can't be deleted, most everything stated on this forum, plus more. i have asked oracle time and again when the migrate scripts [the FAQ still posted at technet and portalcenter STILL says the scripts will be available august/september] will be ready and have gotten no meaningful response. surely oracle cannot pretend that this export/import works and I NEED A REPLY FROM ORACLE AS TO THEIR OFFICIAL STANCE on this and as to when we can expect a working solution. i am going to have to recommend against oracle portal because we cannot get from our development environment into a testing one.

thanks... i do hope they can give us some expectation of when this will be ready for primetime. i couldn't get my pages across because i get a region not found error, so i tried just to import my provider applications that include rwreps with parameters. i figured worst case i could manually recreate the pages. the export indicates no errors, the import check mode indicates no errors, but the actual import gives me a warning on every portlet parameter and none of my reports come across:
sample warning i receive:
Importing portlet preferences ..........
Importing category/perspective info ..........
---------- Before Importing Pronto Tables ----------
*** Warning: no corresponding portlet parameter ID found on target for 295 for BUSINESS_UNIT
so i applied patch 2617359 per oracle support but no luck. apparently this is another bug being worked on by support [Bug:2644937 Abstract: IMPORT:PAGE:PRONTO:REPORT:SECURITY:PORTLET PARAMETER ID NOT FOUND IN LOG] but in the meantime i face the prospect of having to manually recreate 40 plus reports on each instance. this may or may not be related to bug 2426089 from version 3.0.9.x [Bug 2426089 Abstract: PARAMETERS ARE NOT VISIBLE AFTER REGISTERING THE REPORTS ON PORTAL]. i am still trying to come up with some way to get my reports across. i'm going to try exporting/importing just a report with nothing else and see what happens.

How to export multiple copies reoprts based on parameters and with pre-defined naming

Hi All:
I have a problem of using SSRS 2012, we have multiple clients and they wanted us to deliver the pre-defined excel reports to different branches based on selecting the "branch name" parameter, also they have a naming rule for the excel
report file.
We cannot use the subscription as they need to do it in one batch and upload to an FTP file, therefore we are doing this manually for over 300 reports. Is this a convenient way to generate them in one batch as well as customising their file names?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Cheers
Johnny

Hi JohnnyKahWang,
As per my understanding, there are multiple clients, you want to deliver reports to clients according to branch name parameter, and naming the excel file according to the rule. If that is the case, we can use data-driven subscription to achieve your goal.
Reporting Services provides data-driven subscriptions so that you can customize the distribution of a report based on dynamic subscriber data. Data-driven subscriptions use query results to determine the recipients of the subscription, delivery settings,
and report parameter values. At run time, the report server runs a query to get values used for subscription settings. We can use the Create Data-driven Subscription pages to define the query and assign query values to subscription settings. For detail information,
please refer to the following steps:
1. Open Report Manager, and locate the report for which you want to create a data-driven subscription.
2. Hover over the report, and click the drop-down arrow.
3. In the drop-down menu, click Manage. This opens the General properties page for the report.
4. Select the Subscriptions tab, and then click New Data-driven Subscription.
5. Choose a method of delivery, then select data source for the subscription.
6. Specify a query that retrieves subscriber data like below:
CREATE TABLE Name (
BranchName varchar(20),
ExcelFileName varchar(20),
Email_to varchar(50)
INSERT INTO Name values
('Branch1', 'Name1', '[email protected]'),
('Branch2', 'Name2', '[email protected]'),
('Branch3','Name3', '[email protected]');
IF we chose Windows File Share delivery extension, we can define path in the query.
7. Specify delivery extension options like below:
8. Specify report parameters to BranchName.
9. Specify when the subscription is processed, then click Finish to save the configuration.
For more information about Data-driven Subscription, please refer to the following documents:
http://msbimentalist.wordpress.com/2013/08/26/how-to-create-data-driven-subscription-in-ssrs/
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Pre-defined header in report

Hi All,
Maybe a stupid question but ... when we create a new ABAP (se38->create) in our system, a report header (lines and pre-defined fields) is already in there. It's not an existing pattern in the system (no entries in TSE05).
Can anyone tell me where this header in the ABAP is coming from and how we can change it ?
Thanks,
Rob Makelaar.

Hi,
Check this example code
PROGRAM ZARS NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.
START-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE: / 'line 1'.
WRITE: / 'line 2'.
WRITE: / 'line 3'.
TOP-OF-PAGE.
WRITE: / 'Heading'.
ULINE.

We have different environments for our application....Dev, Test, and Production.
We want to create Discoverer Reports on Dev and then port them on test and Production. Is there any way I can do this through Exporting/Importing.
I know one way of doing this is through the Discoverer Desktop. is there any other way to do this via Discoverer Plus?
Please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,

Hey Jayu,
Thanks for the reply. It works.
We have the Discoverer Admin but I didnt knew that it can be used to import/export workbooks too.
Thanks Again.
