Failed Reports: best way to diagnose?

Hello all.
We are using forms & reports 11g (11.1.2) on a Linux x64 box (Oracle EL 5.6).
Some reports called from forms fail to run. What is the best and easiest way to retrieve the error message, I mean, is there any way to do so without the need to go to log files on the server?
I've been using EM to look at "failed jobs" (reports), but now the messages are unavailable too. Crap...
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If I get the Report_Object_Status from Forms, the status is TERMINATED_WITH_ERROR. But how can I get the complete message, with the REP- error?

hughfromgnosall,
the best way to diagnose it depends upon the problem being investigated. The best way to improve its efficiency is to uninstall every third-party app/plug-in/add-on/&c. which isn’t needed.

SD reporting- best way to extract SD contracts data

Hi All,
I want to know what is the best way of extracting the SD contracts data from the VEDA table & the technical objects attached to the contracts(which are in tables like SER02, OBJK etc..). Is it possible to enhance the 2LIS_11_VAITM datasource with these fields? or there is a better way of doing this? Is there a standard datasource that can be used?
Any helpful information will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Shilpa

You can create a User Exit in CMOD for the 2LIS_11_VAITM DataSource to get the data. There should be a 1:1 (equi or inner join) or 0:1 (outer join) relationship of the data that you want to include, so that you don't create duplicate data.
Another option would be to create generic DataSources and join the data in BW.

HT1349 I lost/had my iPhone stolen. Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

Tried using Find My iPhone and it's offline. It (Find my iPhone) was set up. What do I do now? Do I report it stolen? What is the best way in getting back my iPhone if any? Thank you in advance.

Find My iPhone is good for misplaced iPhone but not good for thief and it was never meant to be.
You chance of getting it back is very small.
There are a few things you can try.
Try remote lock/wipe your iPhone through Find My iPhone.

You can report to the police, cell carrier (expensive cell charges for international calls, roaming etc)
Change all the passwords used in iPhone: Apple ID, E-mail, Bank Account ....

Custom Report : What is the best way ?

Hi!
My customer doesn't like native TestStand 's report layout. He would prefer something like the example enclosed to this post.
What is the best way to achieve this ?
XSL customizing (seems heavy work) ?
Using the report generation toolkit and a Word template ?
Any other idea ?

What is the best way to create a SSRS 2005 Line Chart Report for a 12 month period?

I'm looking for advice on how to create a SQL Server 2005 query and line chart report for SSRS 2005.
I need to display the peak number of patients assigned to a medical practice each month for a 12 month period based on the end-user selecting a
single month and year.
I've previously created a report that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month but I’m looking for advice on how to
how to produce a resultset that shows the peak number of patients each month for a 12 month period. I thought about creating a query that returns the peak count for each month (based on my previously created report which displays all patients assigned to the
practice for any single month) and then use a UNION statement to join all 12 months but I'm sure that isn't the most efficient way to do this. The other challenge with this approach (twelve resultsets combined via a UNION) is that the end-user needs to be
able to select any month and year for the parameter and the report needs to display the 12 month period based on the month selected (the month selected would be the last month of the 12 month period).
For the report I’ve previously created that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month, the WHERE statement filters the
resultset on two fields:
Start Date - The date the patient was assigned to the practice. This field is never null or blank.
End Date - The date the patient left the practice. This field can be null or blank as active patients assigned to the practice do not have an End Date. When the patient
leaves the practice, the date the patient left is populated in this field.
Using these two fields I can return all patients assigned to the practice during Nov 2012 by looking for patients that meet the following criteria:
start date prior to 11/30/2012 (using the last day of the month selected ensures patients added mid-month would be included)
AND
end date is null or blank (indicates the patient is active) OR the end date is between 11/1/2012 -11/30/2012 (returns patients that leave during the month
selected)
Regarding the query I need to create for the report that displays the peak count each month for 12 months, I'm looking for advice on
how to count patients for each month the patient is assigned to the practice if the patient has been assigned for several months (which applies to most patients). Examples are:
John Doe has a start date of 6/01/2012 and an End Date of 10/07/2012
Sally Doe has a start date of 8/4/2012 and no End Date (the patient is still active)
Jimmy Doe has a  start of 7/3/2012 and an End Date of 9/2/2012
Given these examples how would I include John Doe in the peak monthly count each month for May - October, Sally Doe in the peak monthly count for
August - December and Jimmy Doe in the peak monthly count for July – Sept if the end-user running the report selected December 2012 as the parameter?
Given the example above and the fact I'm creating a line chart I think the best way to create this report would be a resultset that looks like
this:
Patient Name
Months Assigned
John Doe
June 2012
John Doe
July012
John Doe
Aug 2012
John Doe
Sept 2012
John Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Aug 2012
Sally Doe
Sept 2012
Sally Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Nov 2012
Sally Doe
Dec 2012
Jimmy Doe
July 2012
Jimmy Doe
Aug 2012
Jimmy Doe
Sept 2012
From the resultset above I could create another resultset that would count\group on month and year to return the peak count for each month:
June 2012 - 1
July 2012 – 2
Aug 2012 - 3
Sept 2012 - 3
Oct 2012 - 2
Nov 2012 - 1
Dec 2012 - 1
The resultset that displays the peak count for each month would be used to create the line chart (month would be the X axis and the count would
be the y axis).
Does this sound like the best approach?
If so, any advice on how to create the resultset that lists each patient and each month they were assigned to the practice would be greatly appreciated.
I do not have permissions to create SPs or Functions within the database but I can create temp tables.
I know how to create the peak monthly count query (derived from the query that lists each patient and month assigned) as well as the line chart.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. I reviewed them shortly after they were submitted but I'm also working on other projects at the same time (hence the delayed reply).
Building a time table and doing a cross join to my original resultset gave me the desired resultset of the months assigned between dates. What I can't figure out now is how to filter months I don't want.
Doing a cross join between my original resultset that had two dates:
08/27/2010
10/24/2011
and a calendar table that has 24 rows (each month for a two year period)
my new resultset looks like this:
I need to filter the rows in yellow as the months assigned for stage 3 that started on 8/27/2010 should stop when the patient was assigned to stage 4 on 10/24/2011.
You'll notice that Jan - Sept 2011 isn't listed for Stage 4 assigned on 10/24/2011 as I included a filter in the WHERE clause that states
the Months Assigned value must be greater than or equal to the date assigned value.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Best way to develop a BI Publisher Report

Dear All,
which is the best way to develop a XML/BI publisher report?
1) Using a RDF for fetching data using data group
2) Using a Data Template
3) Writing PLSQL code
4) Using BI Publisher Enterprise
In R12 , all seeded reports are XML using PLSQL coding. Why oracle did not create RDF based XML reports? Are RDF s going to be obsolete??
Please clear my confusion
Thanks in Advance

Best way to produce reports if the data model is in RDBMS

we have database available in RDBMS.we will have to create reports out of that database.
Anyone suggest me best way(by considering all the factors) to get the reports if database is in RDBMS.
what are all need to follow in physical layer and what are all need to follow in BMM layer.

Thanks saichand for the response.
Ex: lets say,if there are 25 tables in the database(in RDBMS,there are lot of joins exists between the tables like A->B->C->D->E->F->G->H, in this case if report is from A,E and G then which way i will have to create view in the physical layer)
i have arrraged tables and columns below for better understanding
A B c D E F G
A1(pk) B1(PK) C1(PK) D1(PK) E1(PK) F1(PK) G1(PK)
A2 A1(fk) B1(fk) C1(fk) D1(fk) E1(fk) F1(fk)
A3 B2 C2 D2 E2 F2 G2
from the above tables and columns,if the report should be with A1,E1,E3,G1,G2 fields in that case how to create view in the physical layer.
for each and every report do we need to create seperate view?
can you please elaborate the procedudure in different situations?
Thanks in Advance.

Best way to report on multiple libraries

SharePoint 2010.
We have 1,600 subsites all the same forms library, which has 10-15 content types in:
All the content types have these fields that are published to the library. All the fields are the same.   Each file has unique naming conversation, based on the site, etc.
Each document goes through a workflow lifecyle.   Pending , Approved, Rejected.
If I wanted some form of Reporting based on all the docs, in all the sub sites... What is the best way to approach this.
I've seen the posted on a single list....   but this requirement is 1,600 libraries...

Hi Peter,
You don't say what type of reporting that you want to do? I'm assuming that it is probably something like displaying the last 1000 most recently approved forms or similar?
If that's the case then you may be able to achieve what you need using the Search Core Results Web Part with some clever querying and is likely to be the most performant method.
Once you have a result set back, you can then look at styling this using XSLT in the SCRWP or alternatively look at using the Search Query Model from code in a farm solution/webpart.
Alternatively you could look at using SSIS to extract the data using the SharePoint List into a SQL table on a nightly basis. (This article covers how to get data out of SharePoint and into SSIS..

The best way to get reports 6i output into Excel 97

Hi there,
I have a number of graphical reports that have a few group levels. These generate HTML or PDF output ok.
I want to get the output to look as close to the HTML/PDF output from Report Server or Runtime into Excel 97.
Outputting as HTML and importing into Excel does not work very well as Excel places all the horizontal data into one cell! This works perfectly in Excel 2000 but our client does not have this licenced so it is not a solution.
I have thought about outputting as delimited output. This has the effect of placing all the parent group information on each detail line (it is like the group by clause has been removed if you did something similar in SQL*Plus) along with all the prompts and it looks a real mess and takes up many columns in Excel 97.
What is the best way to approach this?
Cheers,
John

If this is a client/server app, then you could use ole or dde to put the data directly into Excel.

What is the best way to display a Interactive Report having 20 columns

Hi,
I am having a Interactive Report having many columns (around 20).
What is the best way to display that report...by default we have to scroll it horizontally to see all the columns.
I want to avoid Horizontally Scrolling.
Thanks,
Deepak

Hello Deepak,
You mean apart from using a smaller font size or a bigger monitor?
You can think about combining / wrapping columns (so more data in one column).
Or hide some less important data and show that only on demand.

What is the best way to produce different report types out of the same SSRS Report

So I have a request to produce different report types based on a "Line Of Business" Parameter that is provided. I know that SSRS sometimes struggles with gathering the Metadata based on IF Statements.
What is the best way to provide multiple different report types with different data based on the "Line Of Business" Parameter that is provided? Can I simply do this via the SQL Stored Procedure? And how so that the Metadata is collected correctly?
Just don't know what the generally accepted business principle is on this and how to go about doing it.
Thanks in advance for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Hi ITBobbyP,
Per my understanding that you have create an parameter (Line Of Businiess) to get diffetent types of report, I would like to confirm with you want do you mean about the different report types?
Is that mean you have table and one column named Report type, you want to filtered on this column? Or the report type you mean is like Parameterized reports,Linked reports,Snapshot reports,Subreports and so on.
If want you want is through the selection of the parameter to change the report type(Parameterized reports,Linked reports,Snapshot reports,Subreports ..),currently it is impossible to acheive this.
If you still have any problem, please try to provide more details information about your reqirements, the sampe data in the table, the report structure you have designed and so on.
Any problem, please feel free to ask.

Best way to show a hierarchical tree report in APEX 4.2

I have a hierarchical query spanning four levels over two tables. The query works great and also includes hierarchical sum columns (i.e. the parent shows the sum of all children) using functions.
I'm wondering what the best way to display this data to users is?
At the moment I'm thinking I would have a collection holding my report with an extra 'show' column. Then I would include HTML to set the correct show/hide values and refresh the report when a node is clicked. I feel this would probably work but it can't be the best way.
I stripped down my query to the columns needed (no sum columns) and the APEX tree regions work nicely for this. Is there any alternative jquery plugin or anything that people have experience with that will give me the native 4.2 tree structure whilst also allowing me to display extra columns with links?
If I need to provide any more info just let me know!

The best you can do is to concatenate multiple columns into single with some separator. I have not tested give a try it might resolve your issue.

Crazy I know, but what is the best way to PREVENT a report portlet from running ?

I know this sounds a very weird question.
On a page I have a html form (that I use as search criteria for my report) as well as an actual report published as a portlet.
On certain situations, such as when going to the page initially, I require that the report not be executed due to bind variables passed by the form not being initialised.
I know I can set default values for parameters, and use decode statements in my query etc etc, but this means the report is still actually run, but no rows are returned!
I dont want the report to even run!
Is there a faster way of stopping a report from executing.
... before displaying the page - pl/sql
Would the best way to achieve this be the throwing of an unhandled exception?
declare
myException exception;
begin
if certain criteria is not met then
raise myException;
end;
regards,
Matt.

I have about 50GB of photos on my old MBP iphoto library.
To be able to merge your libraries, your Aperture version and iPhoto version must match. For basic reading see: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
and Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
Assuming you are running the latest Aperture and iPhoto versions:
Before merging libraries ensure that your iPhoto Library has no issues. While still on your old mac run the "library first aid tools" on your iPhoto Library. Hold down the key combination ⌥⌘ and double click your iPhoto Library, then select "Repair database".
Make sure you have a backup of your current Aperture Library and iPhoto library.
Do both macs have a FireWire port? Then you could connect your macs in Target Disk Mode:
See OS X Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
This way your new mac could see your old mac as an external disk and you could copy directly between the macs.
Otherwise copy your iPhoto library by drag-and-drop to an external disk (on your old mac) and connect that disk to your new mac. Check, if the external drive is formatted for mac (MacOS X Extended (Journaled)). Otherwise reformat it, before you copy the iPhoto library to that drive.
When your iPhoto Library has been moved to your new Mac launch Aperture and use the command "File > Import > Library" from the main menu bar. If there are duplicates in the Aperture library (if you imported earlier from iPhoto) you may be prompted if you want to "Add" or "Merge". If you have lots of duplicates, pick "Merge", otherwise "Add".
Post back, if you need more detailed instructions.
Good Luck.
Léonie
