Feature of XL Reporter (Crystal Reporter vs XL Reporter)

Dear Expert,
Can you please share your experience on XL Reporter. I am using Crystal Report Basic for reporting.
I was wondering why has SAP Provided XL Reporter if their is Crystal Reports. Does it saves time? or what is
the advantage. If possible also include Crystal Reports vs XL-Reporter, to your response, to make it more easier
to understand.
Regards
Faisal Baloch

Dear Faisal,
Each and every products have their own merits and De-merits.
Some type of reports are easier to handle in XL reports like Tax breakup report per invoice wise/customer wise.
Also in XL reporter, you can schedule the reports to be executed using Report jobs, packages. As of now Crystal reports basic won't support the Scheduling functionality (I think Crystal Reports Server can do this !).
If you come to Crystal reports, this also having its own merits than XL reports/others.

Bala

Interactive report search features in Classic Report

Hi,
We have generate a report based on a dynamic query (columns,tables and where condition everything will be dynamic at runtime). As we can use only sql queries to create Interactive report, we are populating collections with our dynamic query and using that collection to create Interactive report. But there are lot of limitation with this approach (only 50 columns we can display, number and date columns are stored in character columns of collection as we don't have control on populating collection's number columns using api apex_collection.create_collection_from_query and clob columns are truncated to first 4000 character).
If we can paint the features like search,filters,select columns of Interactive report in classic report, our problem will be solved.
Is there anyway we can get these Interactive report feature in classic report.? or any other work around is available to overcome the apex collection limitation? Any idea on this will be very helpful.
Thanks in advance.

Hi User,
ya, Jitu is right.
Create a region "Search'
and Create a text field page item like P1_REPORT_SEARCH and also create two buttons like
P1_GO and P1_RESET and after that
Create two process for it
<li> one is of Reset pagination process with condition type: request is contained within the expression1, and in expression1 give this: GO,P1_REPORT_SEARCH,RESET(process point- on submit after computation)
<li> second process is of type clear cache for items(ITEM,ITEM,ITEM)
Source : P1_REPORT_SEARCH
condition type: Request = Expression 1
Expression 1 = RESET
May be this will help you out.

Mini
If this answered your question, mark appropriately.

What features not available to crystal reports would you like???

It doesn't matter what you remove, it will doubtless be important to somebody.
Look at the venting people have done lately on the removal of such things as the little note region content displays, the loss of general floating windows and other "minor" things.
Removing the whole environmetn might be no big deal for Person A, but completely unnacceptable to Person B. Heck, I've even seen complaints about the display of two channel strips in the parameters - "Can't we have the option to go back to one?"
Managing features in a large, heavily used professional application is very difficult, because whatever you do will be disliked by a certain per centage of your users.
Even a certain percentage of users would probably not like engineering resources directed into fixing some of these long time obscure things that many people never encounter, and would instead like a shiny new Trance Gate plugin, or vintage console saturation in the mixer, or Melodyn-u-like functionality in the arrange page, and so on.
Ultimately, we have no control, all we can do is vote with our wallets, and send feedback, and voice our opinions on forums like this one, and hope the next version will contain the things that each of us value the most...

Feature Requests/Bug Reports for PlayBook OS 2.0

I'd like to report a few bugs/features that I think would really help make PlayBook better.
Although most are minor items there is a chance that some items would be better suited as private reports directly to RIM. If there is an appropriate channel to do so, please advise.
For now, these 4 items are the main ones that come to mind.
1.) Screen settings: I would **really**, **really** like to have an option to go to standby after 30min, 1hour, 2hours, or better yet - **never** (especially when I'm plugged in to A/C power or docked. There are several apps I enjoy using (e.g. Browser) that I read/watch... only to have the device try to auto-suspend when the 5min is up.
2.) If it is possible, it would be very nice if holding the volume up/down buttons actually continuously increased/decreased the volume vs. having to press the buttons multiple times
3.) When using the Browser, I often minimize/auto-hide the location bar to maximize my screen real-estate... however when swiping down to view it... if I type a partial address and notice a match in the drop down for the site I want... I can't click on it, as this triggers the menu's auto-hide action
4.) The new Messages app is great! My only issue is that although I like the blinking red LED indicator (similar to a BB phone), the red corner marker in the top left of the screen is too distracting (and ruins the asthetics) of the apps/games I'm running when I get new messages all day long. It would be very nice if there was a separate option for this indicator. (e.g. I still want the LED light, and the email count/icon indicator... just not the red corner overlay)
Otherwise I'm loving my PlayBook both as a user and a developer and I'm looking forward to whats to come. ;-)
PlayBook Apps: DataMine, Dots + Boxes, 5 Marbles
BlackBerry SmartPhone Apps: 5 Marbles Soon: **** (D.Z.A), ****Quest, **** Challenge, VaultCracker, DevBrowser, Radial****

Allow me to use the native contact, calendar and email apps to work with my contacts, calendar and email that are on my phone/desktop. Can't believe that this is not already done.

New Feature (Filter on Reports)

I've just noticed that there's been a new feature added in the latest OATS v9.10 patch so that you can filter reports based on a time range. This is extremely useful, particularly if you want to 'ignore' any ramp-up/ramp-down periods and just take a sample while the test is running at the desired level.
However, there doesn't appear to be a similar filter for the graphs. Does anyone know if this is possible? If not, hopefully the feature can be extended to graphs in a later release?

Hi Ian,
Custom time range feature for graphs is already available. Once a graph is rendered, click on Edit -> Select an axis (x or y) . You can change the min and max time range for the graph (if applicable) or any other units.

How to test the XML distribution feature in the report builder

Hello,
I am working on the publishing report by using the XML distribution feature. Are there anyway I can test it in my report builder before running it on the Report server?
Thanks.

Haven't done this but I'm gonna take a guess.
1. Have the copy row link do the same thing that the edit row does so that your row is displayed on the edit page. However somehow pass another parameter such as a unique request value or something so that the called page can "know" that it was arrived at via the intent of copying a row.
2. In the called page, have a process that detects whatever flag you passed (to know that the user wants to copy a row) and have that process null out the PK item in your page (assuming that your page drives its DML via a PK field and not ROWID). You also might need to alter your button conditions accordingly so that your create button shows (since you will be creating a new record) and your save/apply-changes button (existing records) is hidden.
3. Hopefully this is enough to fool Apex into creating a new record (since the PK is now null) and the user would be now pressing the create button to save changes to the database.
Hope this helps...if it's managed by ROWID though this approach may not work and also if there's any MD5 checksum getting in the way it might not work either but this is the approach I would try first.

Feature Request: Disable report-level sums if only break-level sums needed

Hi,
With all my success earlier in reporting a bug and getting it fixed in the same day I thought I might try my hand at a feature request and see how I get on.
Would it possible to have the option to turn off the report summary record when summing on a break column?
There are times when you just want one level and not both. I know there is a trick using javascript to hide the summary row but its pretty unfriendly and the javascript shows up in Excel when the report is exported.
Also, I'd quite like to be able to put the sum column value in the description for the summary. At the moment you can only include the header using #SUM_COLUMN_HEADER# but #SUM_COLUMN_VALUE# would also be useful.
Keep up the good work - Apex rocks!
Thanks,
Alastair

- ability to choose deletion of an email on handset only
- desktop software working with all older BB's allowing drag and drop type of transferring data, contacts etc. (BB link doesn't recognize my old Storm)

EBusiness tax feature "Tax for Reporting Purposes Only"

Hi everyone,
Did anyone used "Set Tax for Reporting Purposes Only" feature in Etax? If yes, then can you, please, describe me how works in AP/AR modules. Because for some reasons I cannot make it work and Etax User Guide does not contain much information about it.
Thanks in advance,
Vladimir

As I mentioned in the PM, I'm going to list an alternate tax solution here.
It involves using a single tax amount (the lower amount) on all products. That may not sound right, but with some additional steps it's not a bad solution.
Assuming you have two tax amounts, one at 7.5% and another at 9%, you assign all taxable products the lower tax amount.
Then you change the price of the higher taxed products by the difference in the percentage. (if the product was $1, then it is now $1.02) Part of why this works is because the increase is not so significant that customers would usually care.
Using the product attributes, you set up a dropdown list with the options, "tax1" and "tax2"
Each product, in a custom1 field is assigned its appropriate tax name (tax1 or tax2).
The dropdown list is hidden, so the customer doesn't know it's there
When a customer looks at a large product view, js automatically selects the appropriate attribute based on what is in the custom field.
Set up two reports, one for each tax group.
Filter them by attribute, so only the applicable products are shown in the report
Using very simple math (Total x 1.075 and Total x 1.09, depending on which report it is), the accountant will know exactly how much to pay in taxes for each tax type.
At first glance, this looks like a bad solution, but all that really matters is that the company is collecting and paying their taxes. Your client charges the lower amount so they are not overcharging taxes (kind of illegal). The slight price increase of the higher taxed products covers the rest and then some.

Navigation feature in the report working very Weirdly...

Hi all-
I have a hierarchy.
with 11 levels.
I need to give a navigation link in last level of report.
I will be displaying the total hierarchy in master report.
When I click on last level (11th level), It should navigate to a detail report of that*+ value
However, My detail report is displaying for all values+_ when I click on 11th level value.
When I was playing around with it, I noticed a thing..
When I hide any one level of those remaining 10 levels, and save the report and then view the mastre report and then click on the last level, It is showing the detail report for only THAT*_ value.
Very Wierd and strange.
Is there any limit to levels in hierarchy? Why is it not displaying correctly when I show all levels. Is there any featire to set the limit or anything else...
It displays correctly when I hide any one of the levels.
Can anyone please throw some light on this issue .
All my report values and numbers are good except for this weird problem.
If this may help you:
I am getting 10 levels from one physical table and 11th level from one physical table and Joining these two tables in BMM layer as one Logical table and created hierarchy.

Any info on this one please..
has anyone encountered this problem before..?
Thanks

Understand SQL Server 2008 R2 replication features for a reporting database

Hi, I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 and working on building a reporting database using transactional push replication and want to know the downside that we should aware of using this.
For instance, is the data always available to the users even when changes are being written from the publisher?
I am also interested in learning replication mechanism & internals. How should I proceed?
Thanks in advance........

Currency Translation feature in BEx reports

Hi colleagues,
As you know, when creating queries, you can right click a given key figure and from Currency Translation frame you can select a customized Currency Conversion Key so OLAP engine displays the "converted" value of such Key figure. Standard TCURR table is used for the conversion.
Also, RRC1 txn. code can be used to create Currency Translation Keys to be used in query designer as described before.
I have created a "currency translation key" (let's name it ZTAXILOC) in RRC1.
I have changed my query in the query designer to use this "customized Currency Conversion Key (ZTAXILOC)". My query uses an InfoSet as "infoprovider".
However, when executing query on BEx Analyzer, I receive error message "Cannot apply currency translation type ZTAXILOC in infocube ZTXA04LA3", where ZTXA04LA3 is the name of my infoset that feeds my query.
The Diagnosis is: "You tried to translate a query element with the currency translation type ZTAXILOC. The translation type ZTAXILOC, however, has VARIABLE TIME REFERENCE, relevant to "DH Document Date" characteristic, which is not available in ZTXA04LA3 infoprovider....".
The "DH Document Date" characteristic exists in the ZTXA04LA3 infoset, but technical name changes since for Infosets, BW system dynamically assigns a technical name for each element in the join and it differs from technical in source ODS.
My question is:
Can I use custom "currency translation keys" in query designer if my query uses an infoset as infoprovider? or is custom "currency translation key" just allowed in queries that use an ODS/InfoCube as infoprovider? or should I provide RRC1 with technical name for "DH Document Date" existing on ZTXA04LA3 infoset?
Please advise.
Thank you.
Mario Vallejo.

We are running into similar currrency conversion issues on an infoset. We have an existing currency conversion key created using RRC1. The existing currency key is set up as follows:
TO_USD Convert to USD (Billing)
Exchange Rate Type = Standard translation at average rate
Dynamic Exchange Rate Determination = Yes
Inverse Exchange Rate = No
Source Currency from Data Record = Yes
InfoObject for Determining the Source Currency = No
Selection of Target Currency with Translation = No
Fixed Target Currency = Yes = USD
InfoObject for Determining Target Currency = No
Fixed Time Reference = No
Variable Time Reference = Yes = To the Exact Day = Special InfoObject (0BILL_DATE)
Query Key Date = No
We convert sales amounts to USD using this conversion key on existing cubes. When trying to apply the same conversion key to the new infoset, we received the following error:
Diagnosis:You tried to translate a query element with the currency translation type TO_USD. The translation type TO_USD, however, has variable time reference or variable target currency relevant to characteristic Billing doc. date. Characteristic Billing doc. date is also not available in InfoProvider ZBILLCOST and it references either none or more than one characteristic () of the InfoProvider for Billing doc. date, or Billing doc. date is not a base characteristic.
We have tried to steps in the response to this thread and continue to receive the error.
In Step 1, the only thing that we think we can change is the info object text in the infoset, not the technical name, is this correct?
In Step 2 & Step 3, we have never used variables for currency conversion. We create the currency key using the RRC1 and select the info object for conversion. We did try creating a new currency key in RRC1 and tried to find the newly named (text) info-object for billing date on the infoset, but it wasn't listed as an option under special info-object. Do you have more information on how to create the variable in query designer and how it is used and how to assign to the currency translation?

Feature Request / Bug Report: GMail Plugin

I have now migrated all mail over to GMail and have moved from having only one address on my BlackBerry to having all on there as I am out of the office more. I have now found out how much I hate the GMail plugin!
1. I want to be able to disable conversation view. This is just annoying and I want to just see a list of messages. I have already disabled this in GMail.
2. I don't want to see sent messages in my inbox after I reply or send a new email. If I enable delete from handset and server, when I delete these, it moves my sent items into the bin?!?
3. I should have the ability to set which "folder" (label on GMail) email gets moved into when I delete it. Reason being, I have created a folder I use as a bin as GMail deletes your binned emails after 1 month...
