Generating reports in Designer 9.

Hi all.
I want to generate reports, that has both a header- and a trailer section page.
Usually this was part of the template report, but in Designer 9, the generator first converts the template report (.rdf) to a template report (.tdf), and is then using this template.
But where is the header- and trailer page? You can't see them in the reports builder, when looking at templates. And the generated report does not contain any header- nor trailer pages.
Have I missed something?
Any replies welcome...
Benny Albrechtsen

Hi ,
Thanks for your patience . Please try this . This is from documentation .
1)The template will be applied to the current section of the report (the section displayed in the Paper Layout view) by default. If no section is displayed, the template will be applied to the Main Section of the report by default. If you select the node for the entire report in the Object Navigator, the template will be applied to the Main Section of the report by default. To apply the template to a specific section of your report, select the node for that section in the Object Navigator.
So after applying template to the main section , please try by applying it individually to header and trailer sections in object navigator .
Can you first please try by applying a template (.tdf) file , rather than a .rdf file ?
2) >>Now, in the documentation for Designer, it says, that I can use a standard report (.rdf) file as a template in the generation process. <<
Can you please tell the section in documentation where this is mentioned ?
Thanks

How to generate report from two tables using DAO design pattern?

Hi,
Iam using struts with DAO pattern for my application. According to DAO design im creating model class for each table in my database with getter,setter methods. i have no problem when im generating report from one table. but if have i have to join two tables whatis the better way for doing that? is it good practise to create a new model contains properties from both the tables?
Please help me
Thanks in Advance
Rajesh

Dear Rajesh,
As per the pattern you are creating equivalent java objects for every database table under consideration in which each db field will become a private attribute and public getter and setter methods.
If you have to display data from one table the above approach is sufficient enough.
But in case your database is normalised ..lets take an example of Bank having Branch and Accounts tables. We dont need to repeat the whole information of the branch for every account in that branch. so we prefer to have a branch id in that table....this approach lot of insertion/deletion/updatation anomlies that may exists with the database...
now lets come back to our topic....we shall create two java objects 1) Branch 2) Account.....
When ever u just need to display simple report u can do it staright forward,,,,,now if u want to display branch information along with the account information....the two objects just created are not sufficient
So i suggest u the following approaches
1) Create an attribute of type Branch in the Accounts Object......
This shall serve the purpose of displaying the Btranch information
2) Create a collection object of type ( Vector or ArrayList) which can have objects of Account in the Branch Object,,,
Now its upto u how shall u fill up the objects with appropriate sql queries.
The method that i mentioned is followed by Oracle Toplink and Hibernate ....which provide Object to relation mapping layers.
Any queries ...revert back to me...

For a reporting alternative (design in Word or Excel)

If you are looking for an alternative in reporting, please take a look at Windward.
Windward Reports, the leader in enterprise report generation, has released the world’s first enterprise reporting software that enables use of Excel as a design tool. The Windward Reports Server Engine is perfect for users creating both java reports and .net reports alike, and now allows users to design reports in both Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel as well.
Windward, a leader in with its design-in-Word reporting software because of its ease of use, now adds the advantages of Excel to its portfolio of simple-to-use, superior reporting products. Windward’s new AutoTag 6.0 reporting software uniquely uses Excel to intelligently figure out sums and number formatting, and allows users to build a table which supports calculations. AutoTag 6.0 still outputs to Word, or any other output format, to produce reporting documents.
Why is this Excel release so important? Simply put: Freedom. By creating an easy-to-use design tool which allows users to design their reports in Excel (in addition to word), Windward is freeing up thousands of IT man-hours normally allocated to report design, and including Excel business users in their ‘power-to the people’ philosophy. Now, non-technical business users who prefer Excel, can design their own reports and stay within their comfort zone while doing so. Windward Reports AutoTag for Excel doesn’t just look like Excel, it IS Excel.
How Does It Work? Begin with a worksheet. Using the AutoTag pull-down menu, select a data source such as an SQL database or XML file. (AutoTag works in conjunction with the Windward Reports Standard Server Engine, which gives your PC the ability to communicate with your organization's data sources, such as its SQL databases and XML files.) You use standard Excel commands to format and edit the report, and you assign tags to the data fields using the AutoTag pull-down menu. When finished, you save your template and, if you wish, verify that tags are correct with AutoTag's "validate" function.
What makes this unique? With AutoTag for Excel, your number formatting always carries through – it doesn’t matter if you output to RTF, PDF, or any other type. And, by using Excel templates you have a way to easily, and automatically generate reports that perform calculations on a collection of values! For instance, you might use Excel to sum all of the line-item amounts that are generated by an AutoTag. While AutoTag was always easy to use, this additional capability offers functions not available in a word-designed template, allowing the software to be used by more people, in more ways.
When you generate the report Windward Reports merges this template with the data you have selected. The finished report, with all of your formatting, positioning and design, is available in minutes instead of hours or even days.
Download a demo or check out a sample report at http://www.windwardreports.com. For more information on how you can use Excel or Word to design your reports, call 303-499-2544.

Unable to view settings tab in one GPO. "An error occurred while generating report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I am the owner of this GPO and I can view the settings tab in any other GPO. But, I get the following message when I try to view the settings tab in one particular GPO:
An error occurred while generating report:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Other posts I look at reference the same error, but with different circumstances, and thus, they specify that the hotfix is for to fix the error under
those circumstances.
I'm accessing GPMC on a Win 7 SP1 machine. DC is Server 2012 Standard.

You can filter ADM templates to show configured ones only, and you can
use the "show all settings" node. This will speed the work up - a little
bit at least :)

GPM Custom GPO-Settings: An error occurred while generating report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello,
As you can tell from the title of this question, I am no expert with GPO's. Before I begin, I spent a few minutes to an hour searching and reading in hopes of finding the solution and avoid putting myself out there as a "GPO Newb". While
I found several posts and answers that were similar and were related, the questions and answers were more advanced and did present the solutions providing the person had initial knowledge already. That is not necessarily my case and I would ask for a
little patience and a bit of 'hand-holding' for what I need.
I run SBS 2011, and in Group Policy Management I have a custom GPO. In this GPO I define all my settings. I understand this may not be the best or most practical method of applying policies, but I am not very strict and have few settings. This
policy existed prior to my joining the company, and was migrated in to this SBS '11 from SBS '03. That may be the issue, but before making any changes I am seeking expert advice.
When I select that GPO, named "Main GPO", and click on the tab at the top "Settings" I see the error: "An error occurred while generating report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I saw that when I right click the GPO > View > Options and select the tab "Reporting" that it states that for reporting to work the location of the .adm files must be specified. I see that my option for the location is set to "Default"
which by my guessing would be located in the C:\Windows\sysvol directory. Below is what I see there:
C:\Windows\sysvol\domain
C:\Windows\sysvol\staging
C:\Windows\sysvol\staging areas
C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol
I think the problem is that my custom GPO are not inside the default location, which I speculate is: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies (which I do see some objects there).
But instead I also see items in this folder: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies (while where I just typed 'JOHN.LOCAL' is my actual local domain).
To further this, when I edit that custom GPO, then at the very top of the tree I right click on it and select Properties, I see a Unique Name listed there as a long string of numbers and letters, similar to a registry entry. I searched my server for
that same Unique Name and found it listed inside the folder: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
If I am correct with my assumption and basic knowledge, I should move all objects as follows:
-Move FROM: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
-Move TO: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies
My concerns are that I am not correct at all, that I will break something, that there may be an easier fix than moving anything, or that I am overlooking something causing this error altogether.
Thank you for anyone's help and time with assisting me with this request.

> top "Settings" I see the error: "An error occurred while generating
> report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
That's due to a security setting (most possibly) your current OS does
not understand. Hard to find out wich exact setting it is... To resolve
this issue, we need the gtpptmpl.inf file residing in the policiy's
sysvol folder. To open this folder, edit the policy, move to computer
settings - policies - windows settings - scripts - startup, press "show
files". Then move two folders upwards and back down to
.\microsoft\windows nt\secedit. There you'll see the gpttmpl.inf - post
its contents and we'll have a look at it.

That's perfectly ok - JOHN.LOCAL in fact is a symlink pointing to "domain".
> all objects as follows:
> -Move FROM: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
> -Move TO: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies
No.

Generate Report without Database

Hello developers,
I wanna generate report from JSP.
I need to create .rpt file.
But I dont have database.
I've data in hashmap.
how to add data to .rpt file from Hashmap?
<edited by moderator>

If you can input the Hashmap data into a POJO or JavaBean, you can use this to get data into your report. This is achieved by using the JavaBean connectivity in the report designer at design time, or by pushing the datasource in at runtime.

ORACLE 10g generate reports for audit trail

HELP ORACLE 10 g
I am a beginner about the oracle 10g
anybody can guide me how to start with
generate reports for audit trail , top ten url
, no of hits in the portlets ......
=(
thank you ....

In a nutshell:
1 - You will have to have the portal database schema as your data source.
2 - You will have to design a target database schema with the target data bjects (tables, dimensions and fact tables - cubes) where the data will be loaded for reporting purposes.
3 - Then you will have to model the loading process by defining mappings (mappings will translate into generated code for the load process) and process flows to run the mappings in the right order etc.
4 - You will deploy the sources, targets and processing entities to the target schema.
5 - You will run the deployed code periodically as needed and maintain the source, target and loading entities which might change with time.
One observetion - OWB does not produce reports. It creates and maintains the data infrastructure for a reporting/analysis system (a data warehouse, data mart or an operational data store). To produce reports (for example, the top-10 report mentioned by you), you will have to run a reporting tool on top of the data structures created and maintained by OWB.

Hi,
You can check it through query designer.
Just click the button on the top of the quesry designer it will have sign sqaure with a green circle on the top of square.The description says web.....
It will take you the web adn then give your login and execute it.
If you have authorization issue then it will say No AUthorization issue or everything is filtered out.
If your cube doesn't data for the selections you are giving at the runtime of the report then it will just give a message no applicable data found.
If you are not getting these messages then you should check the rows of the report as what have you put there has value in the cube or not.
Thanks

Generating reports in SAP BW. Pros & Cons of doing it.

Is SAP recommends to frequently generate reports in BW. The pros and cons of doing it. How frequently we need to generate reports? Can any body provide the information on this and it will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
There is actually no performance impact of creating multiple reports. Performance depends on how many reports you run parally. so it depends on the requirement. Whenever there is a requirement you can either create adhoc reports and use them or you can design specific reports for requirement.
At the moment in my system there are more than 500 reports. The only thing is the more you create reports maintainance effort increases. So you can follow some naming conventions to manage reports.

How to test a generated report in my application by using web test written with Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate

Hello,
My application generates report in different formats, such as: Adobe, Excel, XML, CSV and HTML
I have a webtest that makes all preparations, then generates a report.
In my application I have an option either to save the new generated report or open it.
When I try to open the new report, the web test doesn't see it and therefore not allows me to test it.
Please refer me to knowledge base or let me know how to resolve this type of issues.
Thanks.

Hi qatm,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this web performance test is used to verify the Http request/respond work correctly in VS, and the browser session is then displayed as a list of URLs in the Web Performance Test Editor.
However, as you said that you want to test a generated report in my application by using web performance test in VS2012 Ultimate. If the report is not as the Http format, so I think that it is not possible to test a generated report by using web performance
test.
Thanks for your understanding.

Error While generating Report

Hi ,
I am facing 1 problem while generating Report.
I am trying to generate a report based on one Users global attribute.
I have customized the USER UI CONFIG and Uer Report task to generate a report like this.
I created a new report to generate report and in that report I have given the condition as that attribute equals to some value "true" / "False".
But there are some users who has this attribute value as true and whose accounts are not properly created in a resource LDAP So this User view is containing some error.
Hence when I try to run the newly created report as it tries to iterate on the user objects whose view is containg some errors ,the report is not properly getting generated and giving exception as error in calling the method getResourceobjects on LDAP.
What can I do now ? What is the alternative for me? I want to generate the report on that attribute only.....
It is very urgent for me and Can anyone please help me out....
it would be so great if there is any immediate reponse for this.
