Financial Reporting making of Dynamic Reports v 11.1.1.2

Hi,
I have recently going through designing of a dynamic report in Financial Reporting which consists of financial representation as follows:
There are some data which is there in the Schedules of accounts.
Now the user wants to a make a drill down of all the account codes there in the schedule like
schedule 13 other income.
All the account codes in Schedule should bw drill down which I am able to make.
Now for each account codes they want a sorting in descending order to find out which entity is contributing to how much revenue for the oraganistion or
similarly for the cost which are in other schedules like 14,15,16 tc.
After that they want a insertion of cell text function for each cell having a combination of account codes and entity which is having a adverse variance and analsis
for the same.
If someone can throw a light on this about how to do this.

I think you have already posted this problem on another post, I said it is possible it could be a ports issue.
Have a look at the following http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/epm-component-communications-11121-354680.xls
Select FR studio as the client and it should give indication to the ports that need to be opened.
Cheers

Reports tool of using Dynamic Report Templates or live reporting

Since both of them can be used to create report, what is the main differnece between them? do I have to use the live reporting if I want the report can be access though the web?

JW,
You are correct, if you need "real-time" interactive reports on the web then you would develop using live reporting. If you want, you can develop reports using the dynamic report templates in Excel and publish them to the web as PDF or HTML docs, but once they get published to the web the data is static. Note that book publishing of static reports can be scheduled within BPC so that you can regenerate nightly to the web portal if you wanted to.
I would say most people would develop reports using dynamic report templates because Excel gives you more functionality for calculations, formating etc.
Live Reporting on the web is more limited for formating etc.
Additionally I always find that as soon as someone opens a report from the web they immediatly want to print it.... so I usually opt for reports being developed in Excel (Dynamic Report Templates) then Book Publish with the PDF option, (PDF gives you the best control regarding print ranges).
Hope this helps.

Brian

Financial Reporting Studio: Formula for percentages in Dynamic report

Hi,
I have a formula problem in Financial Reporting Studio vers. 9.20.582. I created a dynamic report with four columns:
1. Column: Entities
Entity A, Entity B
2. Column: Accounts
Account A, Account B, Account C
3. Column A: Accounts
Data for a selected period
4. Column B: Formula
Percentage Account B to Account A and Account C to Account A per each Entity
My question is: Could I create a formula in 4th column that shows a percentage of Account B in comparison to Account A for each Entity (everything in one cell)?
Because when I use for example the Formula Percentoftotal([a], [a,1(1)]) it shows for second entity B the wrong percentages.
I hope this was understandable.
Thank you very much for your help.
Chris

Hi
Good question? I think, there is a solution.
You can use the concept of multiple grid here.
Please keep the referred grid at one place and use another grid where you want the formulas.

ISQL*PLUS dynamic reports - how to pass connect string in the URL

When we run dynamic reports thru ISQL*PLUS, does anyone know how
to pass the connect string info in the URL
The following is the code from ISQL*PLUS users guide but it
dosen't show how to pass the connect string
when I tried to pass hr/your_secret_password@dbserver for userid
I got an error msg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>iSQL*Plus Dynamic Report</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<H1>iSQL*Plus Report</H1>
<H2>Query by Employee ID</H2>

</BODY>
</HTML>
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks
Jay

The form you use should work when your change
"hr/your_secret_password" to a valid username, password
and connect identifier like "hr/hr@MYDB". Don't forget to
configure MYDB in your tnsnames.ora file on the machine that has
the iSQL*Plus server.
What was the error you got?
The full URL syntax did seem to go missing from the 9.0.1 doc.
See below for the full syntax. This should be appearing in a
forthcoming FAQ.
- CJ
What syntax can I use to run an iSQL*Plus Dynamic Report?
You can run a dynamic report by entering the report URI in the
location field of your browser, or by making the report server a
link or the action for an HTML form. The iSQL*Plus 9i Release 1
documentation has examples of these.
The general syntax for running a dynamic report is:
{uri}?[userid=logon&]script=location[&param...]
where uri
Represents the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
of the iSQL*Plus Server, for example:
http://host.domain/isqlplus
where logon
Represents the log in to the database to which you
want to connect:
{username[/password][@connect_identifier]}
where location
Represents the URI of the script you want to run.
The syntax is:
http://[host.domain/script_name]
The host serving the script does not have to be
the same as the machine running the iSQL*Plus server.
where param
Specifies the named parameters for the script you
want to run.
Named parameters consist of varname=value pairs.
iSQL*Plus will define the variable varname to equal value prior
to executing the script e.g.
...script=http://server/s1.sql&var1=hello&var2=world
This is equivalent to the SQL*Plus commands:
SQL> define var1=hello
SQL> define var2=world
SQL> @http://server/s1.sql
iSQL*Plus, SQL*Plus and SQL keywords are reserved
and must not be used as the variable names (varname). Note also,
that since variables are delimited by the ampersand character,
there is no requirement to enclose space delimited values with
quotes. However, to embed the ampersand character itself in the
value, it will be necessary to use quotes.
For compatibility with older scripts using the &1
variable syntax, varname may be replaced with the equivalent
variable position as in:
...script=http://server/s1.sql&1=hello&2=world
Note the & is the URL parameter separator and not
related to the script's substitution variable syntax.
Commands and script parameters may be given in any
order in the dynamic report URI. However, please note that if any
parameters begin with reserved keywords such as "script" or
"userid" then it may be interpreted as a command rather than a
literal parameter.

Dynamically select detail report for a master report link item or button?

I'm still new to APEX, so apologies if this sounds like a stupid question, but so far I can't find anything online about how to do the following.
I have a simple report, and I want to be able to drill down from here to a detail report via a link item (or a button) in each row. The problem is that the specific detail report to use depends on a combination of values in the parent record.
So if I have a parent record in the master report with values for columns 1/2/3 of A/B/C, I would drill down to a detail report against table X. If my parent record has values of D/E/F, I might drill down to a different detail report against table Y.
I can build the individual reports easily enough, and I can set up a link item in the master report to drill down to a hard-coded detail report page. I can even generate the name (alias) of the relevant target report as an extra non-DB item in each row of the parent report. But I can't figure out how to allow each row in the parent report to actually link to a different detail report dynamically, depending on the contents of the parent row.
Can anybody suggest an easy way to do this, or point me towards an online resource that would explain how to do this (preferably in basic terms that this APEX-newbie can understand)?
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
When you say "Detail report" do you just mean a normal report of the child records for the selected master record or a tabular form style "Details report"?
Using different reports on a page would, typically, depend on the value in a hidden page item - for example, P1_REPORT_TYPE. Your link could pass an appropriate value into this item and the second page would then use this as a Condition for each of the report regions - each region being conditionally displayed when the hidden item is a specific value.

Dynamic report generation

We are migrating our client reports from crystal reports to business object reports and I need your help on how to achieve the below functionality in Business object reports.
Requirements
1. We need to generate and deliver around 30,000 statements to clients (mostly ftp and email) from 300 Webi report templates.
2. This has to be a complete automated process with no user intervention.
For example: Using Webi / Deski Report1, we need to run the report for each client account and then generate a statement and deliver it to client (only client specific data). Web1 reports are complex and some might take 30 to 60mins for generation.
Questions
1) Can it be done by just using BO tools with out coding ( using any .net sdk)?
2) Can a single BO server handle the load, If not How to load balance reports generation and delivery across multiple servers?
3) How to dynamically pass parameters to Webi report without coding?
Thanks for reading my post. Any help/ suggestion is appreciated.

In our current architecture,
1) We use crystal report templates and pass dynamic datasets at runtime to generate multiple client statements.
2) For load balancing, we have 6 app servers with crystal runtime installed and we distribute load across the servers using custom code.
My question is if use BO enterprise will there be any performance enhancements?

How can i create an dynamic report in Java

hello everybody,
I want to make dynamic reports in Java. Report contain data and images with good layout.. such as crystal reports presentation..
Reports fields decided at run time or we can say that it is generated according to user requirement...
can it is possible in Java. If it is then which tool is better for it..
please suggest me.. this is very urgent requirement for me...

i don't know what types of tools are avaiable in market... Tools for what? You still didn't tell us what exactly you want to do.
i just imagin that
"An user create a database dynamically on server
databaseNobody "dynamically creates a database".
and he decide reports desgin according to
his requirement..... we provide an control for this
type possibilities....."
so this is question is build in my mind.. so i
forward this question to this forums..
I am just going to check the physibility of my mind
imagination...Feasibility you mean. IMHO, the feasibility of creating that stuff yourself is very low. Reinventing the wheel usually doesn't make it better, and it's likely to be more expensive to pay you for creating an inferior solution (not because of lack of skills, but simply because the available products had a few years time to grow, feature-wise) than to simply buy the licenses. Look at Crystal Reports or JFreeChart or Jasper Reports. Or use Google to look up J2EE-based reporting libraries. There might be more.
Which of these is best, I don't know, I never used any of those. Also, the definition of "best" changes with the requirements. What's better, a Ferrari or a truck?

Dynamic Report Creation At Runtime

I am trying to create a dynamic crystal report at run time from Visual Studio 2013 using C#. My back end database is SQL Server 2005. The source for my crystal report is a SQL Server stored procedure which takes two parameters, a year (smallint) and a quarter (tinyint). The stored procedure uses dynamic SQL and creates a dynamic temp table. It returns the result set from a select on the temp table. The number of columns in the result set will be determined at run time. Right now it returns 40 columns. It can return additional columns in multiples of 6. All of these columns will need to be displayed on the crystal report at run time. The C# application will run on 64 bit Windows 7 machines and the SQL Server database is on a 32 bit server.
I have been successful in designing a crystal report within the Visual Studio IDE using this stored procedure and running it and displaying it in the crystal reports viewer from within the C# application. So when the appropriate application's menu item is clicked, the form with the crystal viewer on it opens and displays the report. So I know that I can connect to the database and display the report. However as stated in the preceding paragraph, I need to create the crystal report at run time as the number of columns on the report will be variable.
I have looked at the CrystalDecisions SDK and API and tried without success to do this. I am getting errors when trying to connect to the DB through the API and am not able to retrieve the data. I have played with the code for about a week with no success. I have tried the code in the discussion forums without success. The documentation for the SDK API's does not provide the level of detail that I need. The CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo class has an attributes property that needs to be set. I don't know what the proper settings should be.
I prefer to use the OLE DB native client for SQL Server.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Ludek,
I have made some small progress. I can now login from work as well as get to links. But it seems I am still blocked for zip files.
I also have the utility working. But whenever I try to add my dummy crystal report (dummyreport.rpt) to the project, visual studio 2013 hangs up and I have to kill VS.

Is there a solution for dynamic reports and using Denes' Export to Excel?

Oracle 10.2.0.4.0
Application Express 3.2.1.00.10
Hello all!
I am using Denes Kubicek's Export_Excel_Pkg in my application and I'm having trouble exporting reports based on report regions created using a PL/SQL function body returning SQL query. I realize this is not an Oracle supported package, but was hoping someone here could shed some light on it. When I open up the Excel file, I get an error such as: Report Values Error: ORA-06550: line 22, column 5: PL/SQL: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis.
I've searched the forum and already have done as others suggested by modifying the REPLACE on the v_sql variable in Export_Excel_Pkg.Get_Usable_SQL, but it did not work. My assumption is that there is an issue with the value being passed to the wwv_flow_utilities.get_binds function. I could not find documentation on this function, but I'm thinking that it cannot extract the bind variables within a PL/SQL block. The report only works when I have just use SQL with bind variables...doesn't work for PL/SQL. Nor does it work for dynamic SQL reports that use a "lexical" parameter (e.g. using WHERE &p_and_condition.) to build the WHERE clause.
Has anyone come up with a work-around to this? I somehow need to be able to extract reports based on dynamic SQL (or PL/SQL) to Excel.
Help is appreciated!
This is my example of a report based on PL/SQL function:
DECLARE
v_sql VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
v_sql := q'[SELECT UPPER(t1.olo_name) agency_title,
       t1.class_code,

       t1.pay_grade_code,
       COUNT(t1.appt_fte) total_employees,
       SUM(t1.appt_fte) filled_fte,
       AVG(DECODE(t2.pay_cycle_code,
                  'UB',((t1.wage_type1_amt_for_pay * 26)/t1.appt_fte),
                  'UM',((t1.wage_type1_amt_for_pay * 12)/t1.appt_fte),

Calling a BI Publisher report from a dynamic action

Greetings,
I am working with Apex 4.1.0. I have created a BI Publisher query and layout and defined them in the Shared Components for my application. I also created a button defined as 'Download Printable Report Query'. When I press the button, everything works as expected. The page variable is passed to the report and the report prints as it should.
My question is, can I run this report using a Dynamic Action instead of a button?
Thanks
Larry

Hi,
All that such a button does is submit the page and branch to page zero passing in the request field something like this:
PRINT_REPORT=my_report
So, to do the same in a dynamic action, use an "execute javascript code" action with something like this in it:
location.href = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=my_report';

Dynamic reporting in Crystal Reports XI

Hi,
Need to know about dynamic reporting feature using Crystal Reports XI.
Is Business View helpful for dynamic reporting?
Any link to get some material on dynamic reporting/ business views?
appricate your comments.
Thanks,
Cherry

In the SAP Service Marketplace, go to http://help.sap.com . Under the Business Objects tab you can select Business Objects Enterprise, and in there is a Business Views Administrator Guide. That should provide you all of the basic information on Business Views, how they work and how to use them.
Business Views can be helpful to you depending on what you are looking to do with your data.

How to use both Static and dynamic Reports in WAD using a single template.

Hi,
I have 2 reports - Report1 & Report2. Report1 is a static report with 3 column in it. In WAD user does not want to see the third series in the chart so I have made series3 invisible in the chart.
I am calling the Report2 via 'SET_DATA_PROVIDER_PARAMETERS' in the button option.
Now the issue is that, Report2 is a dynamic report which is using a calyear vaiable range. As Report2 is using the template of Report1, Series3 of Report2 also gets hidden.
Any solution for this?
Thanks

Hi Nisha,
After setting the Report 2 DP thru SET_DATA_PROVIDER_PARAMETERS, you can use one more command SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS on the Chart webitem & edit the Series to make it visible. If there is a way to reset the DP back to Report 1, then you must once again use SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS to hide the Series.
Or you can use another Chart webitem for Report 2 DP & make the Chart webitem for Report 1 hidden & the Chart webitem for Report 2 visible using SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS after setting Report 2 DP using SET_DATA_PROVIDER_PARAMETERS.

Dynamic Reports in java application

Hi,
I want to create dynamic reports in an java standalone application, I have downloaded the Jfreereport <http://sourceforge.net/projects/jfreereport>
I'm not sure, whether it could get data from a JDBC source. (or is there anyother solution to generate dynamic reports in a java application?).
Thanks in advance,
Payam

I generate reports from a webserver ( Tomcat ) in PDF using iText ( www.lowagie.com/iText ). It works great. JFreereport is also using this iText and you shouldn't have any problems using JDBC. Try to read the tutorial first about iText first. This will give you an idea how JFreereport works.

Need to Determine a Report's Parameters Dynamically

We are trying to create a distributed reports application. So far, we have a few reports that we developed in Oracle Reports Builder. Two have start and end date parameters. Some have no parameters. In the future, who knows what parameters any given report will have.
We have a table that includes a user friendly report name, the file name, a group id, and etc. This is used to dynamically build the reports list in APEX.
Is there a way to determine within APEX what report parameters a given report needs, and then conditionally display prompts on the page as necessary, or not at all if appropriate?
Still running HTML-DB 1.6 - hope to upgrade soon.
Thanks,
Gregory

Yes.
:P501_X := 'http://cos-report.companyname.com:7777/reports/rwservlet?prt_print&module='||:P101_REPORT_NAME||'&startdate='||:P501_START_DATE||'&enddate='||:P501_END_DATE||'&desname='||:P501_ACCT_PRINTERS;
Then I reference &P501_X. in a branch to that URL.
This works fine. But not if the report identified in :P101_REPORT_NAME does not have a &startdate and/or &enddate parameter. How can I tell ahead of time?
If the user selects a report from the list that does not require a parameter how can the system tell if it does not require a parameter?
Thanks,
Gregory
