FDM validation report with source data gives 0

Hi All,
I'm building a validation report to report on the source data (so using ~ instead of |).
I've created a logic group to sum up the amounts to a member TOTAL.
When i use the validation editor lookup screen i can browse for Entity, Account (TOTAL), UD1, UD2 and UD3.
The category, Period and Year are left blank.
When trying to test i have to select a test entity (which is the target entity dimension). However, these entities are nog in my source entities (since they are mapped).
So the lookup value gives a value of 0 while a value should be there (since i've selected all dimensions).
Any suggestions? i remember that in the past i did just select a random test entity and it did work.
We're using version 11.1.1.3.
Thanks!

Hi Tony,
What do you mean by target information.
I only retrieve source information but i have to select an entity in the test window (where only the target entities are shown).
So all fields in the import screen (except those in the pov) are defined and match the import screen members exact.
Furthermore when i click browse for the years i get an error as well..

BI+ Reporting With Multiple Data Sources

Hi -
We've been using BI+ Reports with multiple data sources on separate grids. We are wondering if there is a better way to ensure the user has their point of view bar in sync between the the data sources. In our case, both Data Sources are separate HFM applications with all the dimensions identical except the account which is defined on the report. We are not using Metadata Management.
I'm aware of the "Merge Equivalent Prompts" in the Preferences > Financial Reporting window, but this does not always ensure the users have the same point of view.
What practice are other companies using to make sure the user runs the reports accurately with both point of view bars pulling the same entity/year/period.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer, however my question - I know it looks quite messy - is not directly related to data templates, my problem is that at the moment I am using a stored procedure following - almost exactly - what another procedure does in oracle EBS to call a BI publisher report.
1. This procedure populates some temporary table with the xml data where the concurrent request picks it up and uses it to populate the BI publisher template.
2. However I can't go and specify the XML location in my data template as this is not an option for us (i.e. reading the xml from the temporary table), so I am looking for another way to populate the BI publisher template (Note: I can't as well include the SQL queries in my Data template).
Thanks ;)

Using Fields in Reports with stored Data

Hello,
i like to use fields in Reports with saved Data in it.
Is this possible ?
Example:
A Invoicereport with saved Data in a File. Now i like to get the Field Invoice_ID to use this in VB.net.
Any Idea ?

You can export a report with saved data and then change the filtering without hitting the DB again. If you are asking if using a flat file as the data source there are multiple ways to do this. Define an ODBC data source to the file and specify the sturcture, or using ADO.NET and a record set, or using XML as the data source. Lots of ways in newer versions of CR. 8.5 was limited so the ODBC example is your best option.
Or if you are asking how to get the data from the report you can use REadRecords. Not sure if 8.5 has this functionality though. It's way past it's end of life so I can't look.

Not supported, 8.5 has no .net assemblies and no RDC, only option would be to use RAS to make changes or reading records so you need to upgrade.

Publication for Deski report with multiple data providers

Hi,
Has anyone been able to get a publication working that uses a Deski report with multiple data providers as the source? I'm trying to get a publication working that uses dynamic recipients and personalization. When I try to schedule the publication, I get the error "Object not found".
Thanks,
Debbie

Debbie,
That's standard.
It's useful for emulating outer joins in reports.
Say you've got a sales report where you want to display all 12 months of the year in a crosstab whatever month you run in.
We're only in May at the moment though. With one data provider (SALES), you'll get a crosstab with just up to May for your months.
If you create a separate data provider called MONTHS to return the months in the current year, you will then have a merged dimension of YearMonth in both.
In your crosstab if you just use YearMonth you'll get just the five months. If you qualify it with its data provider name (in our case MONTHS), you'll see the full twelve months shown.
I hope that clears it up for your.
Regards,
Mark

How to create a report with survey data

Hi All,
I need to create a report with survey data in below format. Can anyone help me how to display the summary in this format.
Swapna

Hi Swapna,
According to your description, you want to create a report with survey data and display the summary.
Reporting Services is used for rendering the report with data retrieved from datasource. In Reporting Services, we can retrieve data from the datasource then design a report, after the report processed, data is fixed on the report. So it’s not supported
to have the end users selection and do summary. For your requirement, it’s can’t be achieved currently.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

GL Trial Balance Report with Effective Dates as Parameters

We have a requirement to show the GL Trial Balance report with Effective dates as Parameters.
Current Analysis:
The Journals get updated with corresponding CCID in GL_BALANCES table when the Journal is posted. GL_BALANCE is SOB specific, if the SOB has month as period then the balances in GL_BALANCES would get updated against the month(period).
To overcome the period problem, we explored the option of using a View based on GL_JE_HEADERS and GL_JE_LINES for 'Posted' Journal Batches of a SOB. We are checking whether the GL_JE_HEADERS.default_effective_date lies between the :p_from_date and :p_to_date which is sent to the Report as a parameter. The above idea does not return expected data when the custom Trial Balance Report is run.

When we are trying to execute report in BO INFOVIEW on production system, we are facing following error (After 10 mins of execution).
========================================================================================

Stop running this script?
As script on this page is causing Internet Explorere to tun slowly.
If it continues to run, your computer might become

========================================================================================
Please note: We are getting data via Crytal report. Only, execution in infoview is giving error.
If we are executing same report with less data(E.g a days data) then we are getting output in Infoview.
However, when we execute report with more data (6 months data) then we are getting attached error after 10 min of execution time.

If it is indeed a server timeout issue, the following document might be usefull: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/606e9338-bf3e-2b10-b7ab-ce76a7e34432

Performance: How to manage large reports with high data volume

Hi everybody,
we actually make some tests on our BO server system, to define limitations and oppertunities. Among other things we constructed a large report with a high data volume (about 250.000 data records).
When executing the query in SAP Query Designer it takes about 10 minutes to display it. In Crystal Reports we rebult the row and column structure of the query. The data retrieval in Crystal Reports Designer last about 9 minutes - even faster as in the query.
Unfortunately in BO InfoView the report is not displayed. After 30 minutes of loading time we get a timeout error RCIRAS0244.
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.managedreports.ras.internal.ManagedRASException:
Cannot open report document. ---
The request timed out because there has been no reply from the server for 600.000 milliseconds.
Also a refresh of an report with saved data is not possible.
Now we are asking us some questions:
1. Where can we set the timeout for InfoView to a value larger than 30 minutes?
2. Why is InfoView so slow compared to Crystal Designer? Where is the bottleneck?
3. Whats the impact of SAP single sign-on compared to Enterprise logon on the performance?
Thanks for any helps and comments!
Sebastian

Hi Ingo,
thank you for your reply.
I will check the servers and maybe change the time limits.
Unfortunately we have a quite slow server system that probably cause this timeout. In CR Designer we have no problems, its really quick. Is it to expect that CR Designer and InfoView have almost the same performance?
Another nice point: When we execute the query in SAP BEx Query Designer it takes about 10 minutes to open it, in Crystal Designer it needs just about 5-6 minutes. We integrated exactly the same fields in the report, which exist in die SAP BEx query.
What may cause the difference?
- Exceptions and conditions in the query?
- Free characteristics in the query?
- anything else?
Best regards,
Sebastian

11i EBS XML Publisher Report with Multiple Data Source

I need to create XML Publisher report in 11i EBS pulling data from another 10.7 EBS Instance as well as 11i EBS in single report.
I am not allowed to create extract or use db links.
My problem is how to create Data Source Connection using Java Concurrent Program.
The approach I am trying is
1. create Java concurrent program to establish connection to 10.7 instance.
2. Will write the SQL queries in Data Tempalete with 2 Data Source 1 for 11i EBS and 2 for 10.7 EBS
3. Template will show the data from both query in 1 report..
Is there any other way to proceed using datasource API...
thanks

option1:
The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
@runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
advantage , only one report.
option2:
create two separate reports summary and details
and create diff data and diff layout and keep it as different report
Advantage, query will perform based on the user run report, summary/detail, so that you can write efficient query.
Dis advantage , two reports query/template to be maintained.

simple, either put them into one repeating frame by union or use two repeating frames.

Generate PDF report with HTML data

Hi All,
I am using BI Publisher to generate my reports but I stumbled on a big problem...
I have a table with a column TASK_DESCRIPTION. This column is a CLOB containing a simple HTML coded page. When a user works with the application he sees a nicely formatted page but when I generate a report I get all the html tags in it (< html > < h4 > ...etc...)
Is it possible to somehow convert the source data from the table (which is html code) into readable formatted text when generating the report?
ANY ideas are very welcome!
Regards,
Pawel.

Yes you can do this with an XSL template converting HTML to Formatting objects.
There are a few catches however. First, you must be sure your markup-fragment is valid XHTML, that is all tags must be closed. Luckily the builtin standard HTML-editor does this.
I wasn't able to call BI-publisher from within Apex without the XHTML-fragment being escaped, but i managed to create a query on a table containing the fragment within BI-publisher itself. This leaves the fragment intact, producing a valid XML-document.
This is very important because the XSL attached to the RTF-template must be able to match and convert the XHTML-tags to FO.
Basic setup :
Create a datasource (query) within BIP.
Create the RTF-template and add an extra field (at the top) containing : <?import:file:///C:\xhtml-to-xslfo.xsl?> or whatever location the XSL-file resides.
Now, layout your report using the wizard and change the field containing the XHTML-fragment into <xsl:apply-templates select="TASK_DESRIPTION"/>
There are a few XSL-templates out there converting XHTML to FO. One I found particularly useful : http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/x-xslfo2app/xhtml-to-xslfo.xsl
You might want to change the .xsl so it matches tags case insensitive (eg. <xsl:template match="a|A"> )
Another caveat is the html-entities for special characters. When the XML from the datasource is parsed by BIP it doesn't recognise entities like &Agrave ; .
This can be solved by creating a pl/sql function converting these characters to numeric entities like &#192 ;. and use this function in the select statement of your datasource. see http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_entities.asp
Now you can call the report from Apex using an URL to the report definiton (see BIP docs for URL syntax and parameter passing)
Not a 'really' integrated solution but I had some nice results.
It would be nice though if we could specify a .dtd containing the references for HTML-entities and a sort of flag wheter the report column should be escaped or not, from within Apex. This would allow us to embed XML-fragments within the XML that Apex produces, resulting in a valid XML doc. Using XSL, you can then match the tags of the XML-fragment and convert it to FO.
Good luck !

How to run report with selected data in form?

Hi,
Imagine I have a form with a Data block with this inside :
Code | Name
1 | Product1
2 | Product2
I want to run a report that will only select these 2 records from the table "product".
I manage to run a report from forms, but it's a pre-defiined report that will always display the same things. (all the table)
Maybe it's with the paramlist, would you have an exemple or tutorial about that?
Edit : When I create the report object in the form, I can give the source Data Block, but how to use in the report Data Model?
Edited by: Danicela on 24 avr. 2009 10:41

One way to achieve this is to use a "temporary" ID-table.
Create a table with just two columns RUN_ID and ID
Then, in forms before starting the report, create a new RUN_ID, e.g. by using a sequence and then, for every record in your block, create a record with the RUN_ID and the record's PK-column-value, in your case this might look like
RUN_ID ID
4711     1
4711     2Commit that data in Forms (e.g. with using an autonomous transaction).
Now, pass the RUN_ID as a parameter to the report, and in reports, restrict your query like
SELECT ..
FROM YOURTABLE
WHERE ID IN (SELECT ID
                FROM ID_TABLE
               WHERE RUN_ID=:PARAM_RUN_ID
             )To be clean, delete the data with the run_id in the AFTER-REPORT-trigger of the report.
