why? to save time thats why, I have a zillion reports that I have to point at a new database periodically, (and I have some time on my hands here at the ranch) so I decided to automate the process. I made a windows application with Visual Studio that opens the rpt files as objects using the crystaldicisions object object model thingy, pulls out the table logoninfo.connectioninfo stuff and sets it to a new location THEN when I try to set the report.database.tables back to my new modified version it says that the tables property is a readonly thingy. I can open and save, but I cant modify the part I want to... how can I alter the serverName and databaseName properties such that I can save the result?
thank you!
much love.

I was making a new copy of the database.tables and then editing it then trying to set the whole reportdocument.database.tables = to my modified version, it was readonly so it didnt work. when I just iterate through the tables and set the properties on each one, it works just fine.

BBSM - how do we manage the report Database

From the documentation, it seem that we can not purge BBSM records in the report Database. Does somebody care about the management of those records, if yes how ?Can it happen that the database get full and that BBSM crash ?
thanks

As a regular maintenance item I would clear out the transaction history and debugging tables. These should not cause the BBSM to crash but can cause a performance hit.
Purge both the transaction history and debugging tables. This can be done via SQL commands. MSDE has a 2GB limit per database. The past history in the transaction history will be purged. If you want to save this data in a text file, use the following:
Bcp "use atdial select * from transaction_history" queryout -T -c
The above will export the table to a tab delimited text file. It will be very large and notepad will not be able to open this file. You will need
to use excel, access or some other text editor that can handle large files.
The next step is to purge the two tables. These will be the largest tables especially if they have been using debug. Transaction_history is
written to constantly and needs to be purged on occasions.
From the command prompt
OSQL -d atdial -E
> delete transaction_history
> delete debugging
> go
Hope this helps.

I installed SharePoint 2013 and Project Server 2013 as farm and TFS 2012 and my account has permissions everywhere. I read article
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412653.aspx and gave full permissions for TFS account to SQL and Project, Project app pool account to SQL, but still have an error.
How can I find out what exactly permissions are not enough???

The problem was in claims authentication. Changed to Windows and all worked out.

P6 user name is not valid for connecting to the reporting database

No data is available because your P6 user name is not valid for connecting to the reporting database
I am getting above error in the following environment:
P6 running on wls instance 1.
BI Publisger running on wls instance 2
MS SQL server 2005
Note that the error appears when I clink on the 'Reports' tab in P6. My admin user on P6 has access to report/analyser modules.
To connect P6 to BI Publisher I am using 'PxRptUser' in the P6 configuration for Bi Publisher. I know as well that the WSDL URL is correct and I can test this in SoapUI tool.
In BI publisher I have created the PMDB data source using PxRprUser, and the test of this connection works.
(Because the report samples come with Oracle flavoured SQL that SQL server does not like, I have configured BI Publisher so I have just a single report left that sources it data from an xml file. This works in BI Publisher. It also helps me in that I do not need to add 'WHERE' clauses and parameters required for SQL server?)
Furthermore, using a DB tool, I can connect to my SQL server using PxRPTUser.
So why do I get the error above?
I picked up somewhere that I should not be adding users to BI Publisher. Funny enough, testing the 'login' method the BI Publisher exposes through its WSDL (as above) I noticed I HAD to create the user PxRptUser in BI publisher application itself (on top of PxRptUser in database) for the login web service to work with PxRptUser
That did not solve the connection between P6 and BI Publisher though. What am I missing ...
Edited by: user3674522 on 10/11/2011 20:16

Thought I found something but can't repliacte, som issue is still there:
Had a look at the wls instance logs where BI publisher is running, and the error I get is:
111111_023646955][][ERROR] javax.naming.NamingException: Unresolved naming: cn=admin, dc=user, dc=users, dc=principals at [cn=admin]
That user, admin, is the one I have used to access P6. Why is this passed on to BI Publisher? I thought the idea was that the PxRptUser set in BI Publisher configurations in P6 would be used?

ProjectUID selected from the reporting database from Project Server OnPublished event is taking some delay

Hi all,
I'm invoking a stored procedure from the reporting database from the project server onPublished event. I'm having some issues in getting the details of that particular project from the published event handler. This i noticed that there is some
delay is taking place in moving the data(project uid ) from the published to the reporting database .
My stored procedure select statement is as follows:
SELECT ProjectUID, ProjectName FROM MSP_EpmProject_UserView
　WHERE ProjectUID=value
This stored procedure is invoked from the onPublished event of the project server event handler where that particular projectuid is passed in that stored procedure.I have noticed that some delay is taking palce to move the data into the reporting database.
My stored procedure got invoked from the onPublished event of the project server event handler before the delay is complete. So the row selected from the stored procedure is alwys zero (0). Is there any other method to wait for repoting database
to get refreshed. Please help me .

Hi sabithad,
The issue you are facing is because of the conflict of permissions, event handlers always works through administrative user credentials whereas the project is open in edit mode by the logged-in user. And you are tyring to update custom field at the back
end with Administrative credentials, while project queue is in process by logged-in users credentials. Its not gonna work this way :)
The best option is to use Javascript on your PDP using CEWP, you can either build your complete logic in JavaScript and place that code on your PDP. OR you can use the combination of JavaScript and PSI and create a webpart to be placed on PDP.
below blog link willgive you directions to go ahead with, but for sure the solution to your query is
JavaScript :)

[HTML DB] How to use the existing database table?

[HTML DB] How to use the existing database table?
I installed Oracle 10g database in Computer A(Windows 2000), and I already create all the tables with data and the data size is about 300MB.
In Computer B(Windows 2000), I installed HTML DB 1.6.
How can I use /get the existing database table (in computer A) for HTML DB?
Could anyone help me on this? I am newbie and I need some detail instructions. or Where can I find the examples.....
Thanks

Well I guess if you wish to retain that architecture, i.e. HTMLDB on one machine and your data on another, you will have to establish database links to access the data. Oracle documentation will describe how to achieve that.

Is it ok to query tables/views that are not in the reporting database?

I have a requirement to show when a resource submitted/modified each of the items in their time sheet I found that we can get in this information by going directly to the publishing table MSP_Assignment_Transactions but it is well documented that accessing
the publishing tables directly is not supported by Microsoft.
What other options are there to get the data from this table or for that matter any table other than the reporting tables that Microsoft would support?
Just as an FYI we do not want to write to them we just want to select the data we need.

Even though accessing published DB is not supported for several reason, depending upon query you may start experiencing performance problems, if a later CU/SP alters the DB schema your reports may fail, but personally haven't experienced it in long
time,
Also in my personal experience if you are not acquiring lock on the table while querying, it doesn't harms but then there are downside of it
However as an alternate as Rod suggested use PSI to get the data and stage it in staging table or something and then use it for reporting or you can replicate the publish DB and use that for reporting purpose

Altering the report's format without destroying the report layout....{solv}

Hi,
I have developed a tabular report and the layout (lines, rectangles... etc as customer wants) ....
Now , i want to alter only the report style.... that is to change it to group left....
Is it possible... to select the group fields and the fields displayed in the report without redeveloping the report UI (lines , rectangles... e.t.c).
I have tried the report wizard... but the layout destroyed... and have to do the UI from the beginning.....
NOTE : I use Dev10g
Thanks ,
Sim

Hi Sim,
Group Left or Group Above means that you are grouping for 1 or more fields.
In the Data model, you will have to create a new group and drag the group fields to this new group.
In the Layout, you will need to add a new repeating frame below all the other repeating frame, frames, etc. ie. create a repeating frame over existing objects. You may need to move all existing objects down and to the right so that there is enough room to create a new repeating frame over these objects. With the repeating frame selected, from the Arrange Menu, select Send to back (F6) or Move Backwards (F8) several times so that the new repeating frame is below all the objects from the tabular layout.
Also, fix up the source property for the repeating frame. Create a new field(s) inside this new repeating frame for your group left field(s).
Good luck.

SBS 2008 - How to rebuild the reporting database

I'd like to start using the inbuilt reporting facilities in SBS2008. But when I start up the console and click on "Reports", although I am taken to the SBS2008 console's reports screen, a couple of seconds later, the following error message
is displayed:
"There was an error while loading data for this page".
When I click "Close" to close the error message, I'm left looking at the console's reports screen but with nothing shown. The top pane simply says:
"There are no reports to display".
So, I then click on "Add a new report" in the right-hand pane. Nothing happens for a couple of minutes - not even an hour glass. Eventaully, a window opens up, headed "New Report Properties". So, I had a go at creating
a new report, e.g.:
- Report Name = Test123
- Content = Summary
- E-Mail Options = I entered my email address
- Schedule = I set it to daily at 9pm
When I clicked "Ok", after a couple more minutes of thinking, it came back with:
"The report properties cannot be saved. Reopen the Report Properties dialog, and then try again."
I don't know how to tackle this issue. I administer the network here but don't know SQL Server - and we don't have any SQL Server applications of our own - just the inbult ones like WSUS.
If there is a problem with the actual reporting database, I'd be happy to rebuild it, or even reinstall SQL. But I don't know how. My main concern is that WSUS is running beautifully and I don't want to go anywhere near anything that might
break it. I would rather have no reports than lose WSUS.
Could someone point me to some step-by-step instructions aimed at someone who knows Windows Server (to an extent) and SBS2008 - but has no knowledge of SQL Server?

I worked through the article but hit problems.  Any thoughts would be gratefully received.
Here's what happened:
1. I checked that SQL Server 2005 is installed and that Windows SBS Manager is installed and started
2. I looked for "SQLServer (SBSMONITORING)" in the list of services but it is completely missing
I then followed the section headed "If necessary, create a new SBSMonitoring database". This takes one to another article:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2011/08/22/how-to-recreate-the-sbsmonitoring-database.aspx.
I followed the instructions, which included downloading Create-SBSMonitoringDb.ps1 and running it in an administrative Power Shell. When I ran it, I got a load of errors.

How to fetch the customer debit balances form the KNC1 database table

Hi Experts,
I am creating a ABAP report which would dispaly the customer credit balances for the currenct fiscal year.
I am fetching the values form KNC1 database table.....But in this table values are stored year wise.
But I want to display for the current fiscal year that means if teh user selects the 07/2011 as the month on the sleection screen then the debit balances from 072010 to 062011 should be dispalyed.
Could anyone please help me out to fetch this the debit balaces form KNC1 database table in the above format.
Or is there any other way to solve this problem?
Awating your urgent reply.
Many Thanks,
Komal.

Hi Komal,
First, you have to compute the initial period and the final period.
Next, you must read table KNC1 for the years comprised between these two periods.
Last, you must read the fields of table KNC1. For that, you should compose dynamically the name of the field, and then ASSIGN it to a FIELD-SYMBOL.
Now, just add up the values!
Please try the following code:
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <fs>.
DATA: t_knc1 TYPE TABLE OF knc1 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: d_debits LIKE knc1-um01s.
PARAMETERS: p_kunnr LIKE knc1-kunnr,
            p_bukrs LIKE knc1-bukrs,
            p_spmon TYPE spmon.
DATA: l_fieldname(20) TYPE c.
DATA: l_date LIKE sy-datum,
      l_date_from LIKE sy-datum,
      l_date_to LIKE sy-datum.
DATA: l_period(2) TYPE n.
DATA: l_num_times TYPE i.
START-OF-SELECTION.
"Compute the initial and final periods
CONCATENATE p_spmon '01' INTO l_date.
CALL FUNCTION 'RE_ADD_MONTH_TO_DATE'
    EXPORTING
      months = '-1'
      olddate = l_date
    IMPORTING
      newdate = l_date_to.
CALL FUNCTION 'RE_ADD_MONTH_TO_DATE'
    EXPORTING
      months = '-12'
      olddate = l_date
    IMPORTING
      newdate = l_date_from.

    INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE t_knc1
    FROM knc1
    WHERE kunnr = p_kunnr
      AND bukrs = p_bukrs
      AND gjahr BETWEEN l_date_from(4) AND l_date_to(4).
"this will yield at most 2 records, one for present year, and another one for the previous year.
"but if you select i.e. period '01.2012', initial_date = '01.01.2011' and final_date = '31.12.2011'

You'll have the result on variable 'd_debits'.

INSERT in the custom database table to create a new entry.

Hello Experts,
I'm trying to INSERT the entry in my custom databse table that i have created. But I'm not sure what i'm missing as i'm getting the sy-subrc = 4 after the INSERT statement and my records are not added to the database table.
I'm using the INSERT as below:-
APPEND gw_relax TO gt_relax.
INSERT INTO zmm_bg_relax VALUES gw_relax.
Please let me know your helpful responses on this,
Thanks,
Naveen

Check [INSERT dbtab|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPINSERT_SOURCE.htm] [FROM TABLE itab [ACCEPTING DUPLICATE KEYS]|http://help.sap.com/abapdocu_70/en/ABAPINSERT_SOURCE.htm#&ABAP_ALTERNATIVE_2@2@],
If the addition ACCEPTING DUPLICATE KEYS is specified, all rows are inserted for which this is possible. The remaining rows are rejected and sy-subrc is set to 4. The system field sy-dbcnt is set to the number of lines that are inserted.
So if you get sy-subrc = 4, some of the records of the internal table are already contained in the database table.
You cannot put 2 or more records in a database table with the same primary key, primary keys are unique keys with the addition of a not-null constraint. If you need multiple records with a same key, you must add another key to the primary key. (use a timestamp or a counter)

How the Payload Message and Logs are stored in the B1i Database Table: BZSTDOC

I would appreciate it if someone could provide any documentation regarding B1i database further maintenance.
for example:
I want to know how the payload message and logs are stored in the table BZSTDOC, and how can we retrieve the payload message directly from the column DOCDATA.
As described in the B1iSNGuide05 3.2 LogGarbageCollection:
to avoid the overload of the B1i Database, I set the Backup Buffer to 90 days : so this means Message Logs from the last 90 days will always be available, but is there some way we can save those old messages to a disk so that I can retrieve the payload message anytime?
in addition, let’s assume the worst, the B1iSN server or the B1i database damaged, Can we just simply restore the B1i database from a latest backup DB then it can work automatically after the B1iSN server is up and running again?

Dear SAP,
Two weeks passed, I still haven't received any feedback from you guys.
Could you please have a look at my question?
How is this Question going? Is it Untouched/Solving/Reassigned ?

Send the OHD database table load details as mail in Process chain

Hi,
We have a requirement that after the data is loaded into Open Hub destination we need to send an email to a list of users.
The mail should contain the Open hub destination name, Calday, Request No, No of records and the message that the load has ended successfully.
I know how to send an email in the process chain but how to send the details like Open hub destination name, Calday, Request No, No of records in the mail.
Please suggest.

Well we got a little idea:
We have narrowed the req down to the following logic:
select REQUID,No of records transferre, and the OHD name from RSBKREQUEST table
where rsbkrequest-requid = open hub table request
Also the open hub table should be first sorted in descending order by request ID
Now the main issue is:
How to implement this logic and get the details from RSBKREQUEST table and send these details in the mail body.
This we want to do in the message which is attached to the Open hub DTP load step of the PC. The message will go if the Open hub load is successful.
In the message we are able to enter the receipient email address but how to add the above mentioned details.
Actually we are trying to avoid the ABAP code step.
Please suggest.

How to synchronize between OID and the Custom Database Tables ?

Hi All,
Our ADF Application is using Oracle SIngle-Sign On (OAS 10.1.4). Meanwhile we also maintain
users login within Database table to store application menu accessibility data.
i.e:
Firstly user Login using Oracle SSO, after logged in, application will query the above mentioned
database tables to determine which menu he/she has access.
We have develope a security module to input users login into the database, so I need to synchronize
the data into OID, so that that particular user can use Oracle SSO.
How is the mechanism to do that ?
Thank you very much,
xtanto

Hi,
OID providesa Java and PLSQL API. I agree with Chris that from what you describe, the PLSQL API seems to be the best approach to take as it allows you to use database triggers for the synchronization
