Formatted Reporting through BI

Dear All,
I have certain requirement with respect to reporting on BI data which is as following:
1. We need to achieve formatted reporting which needs to be broadcasted to Senior Management. These reports are not aimed to support drilldowns. Its aimed at reporting concise reporting.
2. We thought one way of achieving the above is through PDF. It will actually have the actual contents like our Characteristics and KeyFigures as well as some custom Labels like Current Date, Report Name, etc.
I know to achieve the same ther would be some series of activities to be performed. Please let me know how do we go about achieving the same.
Also, we have upgraded to BI 7.0 (but the configurations for BEx WAD 7.0 are not done)
Thank you.
Regards,
Kunal Gandhi

Hi,
You can do it in WAD once you upgrade and also in Report Designer.

Formatting BEx report through Macros

Hi Experts,
We have a BEx report in BW 3.5 version. We have tried all sorts of formating at BEx level but are not able match the requirement. However we are able to match the requirement through Macros.
I wanted to know whether we can incorporate the Macros code permanently so that whenever we run the report, we get the formatted output through the Macros code. The functionality should be able to handle data changes in the report too.
Please suggest.
Regards and Thanks,
Vivek Das Gupta

Hi,
Crystal Reports has a hierarchical reporting functionality.
see my blog on this :
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/07/businessobjects-and-sap-part-i
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/02/19/businessobjects-and-sap-part-2

/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2008/03/24/businessobjects-and-sap-part-5
the text variables would not come clean to Crystal Reports and you would have to create the column headings in Crystal Reports - which can be done very easily.
hope this helps

Is it possible to send the Pdf format of WebI linking report through email?

Hi All,
I have created linking between 2 WebI reports through OpenDocument. I can schedule the parent report and send it to User Email as PDF format, But when the user click the link in parent report its not opening the PDF format of child report after passing the parameter from Parent report. It throws following error.
Is it possible to send the linked reports(without breaking the functionality of passing the parameter to Child report) to user who don't have access to BO environment? Please help me out.
User needs to get the Parent PDF report in email, once they click the link it should pass the parameter to child report and the corresponding child report should open in PDF format. (In Infoview "View Mode" i can able to achieve this, how about in Email?).
Thanks and Regards,
Tharini Prabhu

So to achieve my requirement, according to my understanding I have to do the following steps.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
1. Without BO credentials the user can’t able to access the Link and child report created using OpenDoc.
2. To overcome this I have to create one reserved userid through Admin and assign to all set of Users who will use the Reports.
3. Have to use Single Sign on function through SDK to avoid the popping window for entering credentials right ?
I can’t able to find the Sap Note 1326701 in http://www.sapossnotes.com/
Could you please provide me the details how to implement that?

Kind regards,
Martin Søgaard

Hi Jim Ji
The report can be displayed from the java infoview, no doubt, so the report itself works.
But the report cannot be seen from the "SAP Infoview" (:/businessobjects/enterprise115/sap) which is the infoview, I reference from the Folder iView (through the system in the SAP portal). And since the SAP Portal Integration Kit seems very old - the Folder iView was created 12-08-2004 by Ingo Hilgefort - there might be an old version of the jar-files somewhere in the installation.
I guess I should check the version of the jar-files in WEB-INF/lib of our web application (Tomcat) folder, and see if they have been overwritten by the SAP Portal Integration Installation or are an older version of the files in Program FilesBusiness Objectscommon3.5javalib? And also check if somewhere in the .../sap installation there are some old jar-files?
Kind regards,
Martin Søgaard

Scheduling Report through InfoView - Destination Email

My question pertains to InfoView in Crystal Report Server 2008. I am trying to set up a scheduled report to run once, and be emailed as a pdf to my own email address. I am using the administrator account and can successfully do this through the CMC, but when I try to schedule the report through InfoView, the destination always reverts back to the Inbox destination rather than the email destination. The job has a successful status, but the destination is always the Inbox.
I am fairly confident my job servers are set up with the proper SMTP information since I am successful when trying this through the CMC and I am setting everything the same through InfoView.
Any ideas?

Hello,
This is Crystal Report Server 2008 and I guess Business Objects Enterprise 3.0.
When scheduling a report through InfoView I do the following:
Recurrence - Now
Format - I choose PDF, although it doesn't really matter for the problem I am having.
Destination - I choose email from the dropdown, there is no checkbox to ignore the defaults. I have to input my own information. I populate the From, To, and Subject boxes. I also choose to have an attachment sent.
I click the Schedule button and I am taken to the History window. The job has a status of Running. I choose refresh and the job completes with a status of Success. However, when I click the status and the Instance Details are shown, the external destination line reads as Inbox and no email is delivered. The report is delivered to the InfoView user's inbox, but not in an email as I selected.
This process works when performed through the CMC, but not through InfoView.

Reports 3.0.5 and Excel Format Report Generation

Hi Folks,
I need to create excel format report on my Windows based OS using Report Desiginer 3.0.5.
Can someone help in this matter as urgent as possible? Your help will highly be appreciated.
Thanks
Zahir

The problem is that you're going to have to jump through hoops to do something that's very, very easy in the release you're going to, so you need to seriously consider where to put your efforts. If you want to do this in 3.0, then you'll need to follow the data file report example in the 2.5 Building Reports manual (see http://otn.oracle.com/doc/reports25/bror2/ch6a.htm#toc096)

Vendor Ageing Report Through Report Painter

Dear All
As per my company requirement we are trying to develop vendor ageing report through report painter, by using library 8A4 (EC CPA: Drill Down Open Item), our requirement is all normal items and some special GL transactions (Not all) has to flow in this report.
In FKI4 / FKI5 if we assign any special GL, then data flowing in to report relating to that particular special GL transactions only, normal items are not flowing in to report. If we not assign any special GL then all normal and special GL transaction are flowing in to report.
Can anybody suggest how to restrict flow of some special GL transaction data in to report. Our requirement is all normal transaction along with some specified special GL transaction data has to flow in to report. Points will be rewarded on helpful answer.
Thanks & Regards
Madhava

Hi Madhava
You can pull all values whether Sp GL or Normal GL values. For a particular 'Column' if you assign Sp Gl Indicator you will fetch all Sp Gl Values in that column. Same way in other column, you dont assign Sp Gl Indicator, instead you calculate manually as shown below;
In a similar fashion you can calculate all values for (00-30), (31-60) ...and so on.
Hope this clears all your doubts?
Regards
Abbas
