See the following document on creating a workbook template with an image: [http://www.researchsummary.ca/bw/Sample_Ch10.pdf]
In BW, there is a table that stores the default workbook. The following snippet of code allows you to identify a custom workbook template as the default template for all end users.
*& Report Z_SET_BEX_USER_TEMPLATE *
*& Program to update all user's default template *
REPORT Z_SET_BEX_USER_TEMPLATE.
TABLES: rsrwbtemplate,
        usr01.
PARAMETER: wbid LIKE rsrwbindex-workbookid.
SELECT
FROM
  usr01.
  MOVE: usr01-bname TO rsrwbtemplate-templateuser,
        wbid TO rsrwbtemplate-workbookid = wbid.
  UPDATE
    rsrwbtemplate.
  IF sy-subrc 0.
    INSERT
      rsrwbtemplate.
  ENDIF.
ENDSELECT.

  • How to do subtemplate Using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2

    Is it possible to do subtemplate (similar to subreport in crystal report) using XML Publisher Template Builder for Word 5.6.2?. If yes, can anyone explain how to call or import subtemplate from main template?
    Thank you
    V.Piraba

    Hi V. Piraba,
    Here is how it works for me in Microsoft Word 2003. I'm not sure if it will work in Word 5.6.2.
    Creating Subtemplates
    1) Make sure you fill in the “Territory” field when creating Subtemplates. Otherwise there will be no way to import the Subtemplate into another Template. The Import command requires the Territory field to call it from other Templates. You will get a big Java error if you try to import a Subtemplate that does not have the Terriroty field populated.
    Importing Subtemplates
    1) Place the following syntax at the beginning of your XML Publisher template to import a subtemplate (in Oracle Applications)
    <?import:xdo://XDO.[Template Code Name].English.US?>
    Example: <?import:xdo://XDO.WC_SUBTEMPLATE_LOGOS.English.US?>
    2) Use the following commands to importing Subtemplates from local/network drives (outside of Oracle Applications):
    <?import:file:C:/Temp/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
    <?import:file:L://Templates/WC Subtemplate - Logos.rtf?>
    <?import: file:///C:WorkChemical.xsl?>
    You can email me at [email protected] if you have further questions.
    Hope this helps!

  • "Report Parameters" - only default showing / translation

    Hi,
    I did a BI Publisher with the "Analyzer for Excel" and I have 2 issues.
    1. I'm calling the report from an ApEx application with the following URL:
    .../R_Rapport_analyse_E.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=1&Calendrier=130001&No_demande=5
    The data showed under "Report Data" are ok, but not the ones under "Report Parameters" (Calendrier and No_demande). The default ones are displayed.
    2. Is there a way to translate "Report Parameters" and "Report Data". I've tried to change them and save the template, but it's not working.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Creating Parameters in RTF Template for BI Publisher Report

    hi,
    I have created Parameters in my BI Publisher Report and in SQL query. But i need to create same parameters in RTF Template , so that when i publish this report in dashboard , parameters will be visible. Can you please tell me how to create Parameters in RTF Template for BI Publisher Report ? I am not finding option. Please let me know .
    Thanks in advance
    Gayathri.

    all the parameter's value will be there in your xml .
    just you need to add parameter heading and corresponding xml tag name to get the parameter value on the report.
    if u dont have you can try like below
    https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/get_your_parameters_here_guv
    Declare Parameter in RTF Template
    Before you use the parameter in the RTF template file you need to declare it first. You can do so by having the following syntax.
    <?param@begin:%parameter_name%?>
    Note: where %parameter_name% is the parameter name that you have created at the BI Publisher Server UI.
    Here is an example:
    <?param@begin:param1?>
    Use it in RTF Template!
    Once it’s declared in the RTF template you can start using it as the same way you use the variable. You need to just add ‘$’ prefix in front of the parameter name. Here is the example:
    <?$param1?>
    The above example would print the parameter value in the report output. If you want to use this value in your condition or calculation you can simply use it as ‘$param1’. Yes, it’s that simple.
    If you are not sure if and how the parameter values are passed to the report when you run the report you can use this command in your RTF template, which will return all the parameter values passed to the RTF template at the runtime.
    <?xdoxslt:getXDOProperties($_XDOCTX)?>

  • Access to customizing default: report templates

    I seem to remember far back in the corners of my memory, someone here on the forum mentioning that although we didn't have access at the time (probably back at HTMLDB 2.0) to customize the default report templates, that there were plans to make this an option in a future version of Apex. Does anyone have any idea if this is something that is being planned, or better yet, available today?
    If you're not sure what I'm talking about I'm referring to the field that says 'Report Template' in the 'Layout and Pagination' section of the 'Report Attributes' page in the application builder.
    The problem I'm having is that I'm using the 'default: vertical report, look 2 (show null columns)' report template and I've got some long column headings that I want to include a line break between each word of the heading, so they're stacked vertical instead of wide horizontally. I've add HTML break tags to the headings but they're disappearing when the page is rendered.
    I've made sure to set the 'Strip HTML' setting to 'No', but whether it's set to yes or no doesn't matter, the headings display the same either way.
    BTW, doing the same thing in a template based multi-row report seems to work fine. However, trying to use/apply the 'Value Attribute Pairs' report template yields the same result as the default vertical look template.
    So I have 2 questions:
    1) anyone know how I can make these heading words stack up vertically, one word to a line?
    2) are we going to get access to customize the default report templates?
    Earl

    Hello,
    1) anyone know how I can make these heading wordsstack up vertically, one word to a line?
    Probably the best way to do this is to just hard code
    a &lt;br /&gt; between your words.That's exactly what I'm doing (and what I said in my original post), however those breaks are disappearing during page rendering when I choose the report templates I mentioned.
    I don't understand why this technique works in the multi-row report templates and not in these vertically oriented value/attribute report layouts.
    2) are we going to get access to customize thedefault report templates?
    No, you should just use a regular theme based
    template, the default report templates are there for
    backwards compatibility and well basically for people
    that don't care about the UI. Since your at the point
    it seems you do care about UI the proper thing to do
    is to move to a standard report template that you
    have full control over.Fair enough. I'll look into that, but I think there's still an open question here as to why the HTML breaks aren't being returned in the page markup for these report layouts.

  • SSRS 2008 R2 Report parameters have default values and report not to auto run

    Hi, I am using SSRS 2008 R2 one of my requirements for a Report is all the parameters have default value and I do not want this report to auto run when users open this report. I can create a dummy hidden parameter to break the auto run for this
    report. But I am looking for solutions other than that.
    Thanks in advance..........
    Ione

    Hi lone,
    According to your description, you have a report with parameters. Now you want you report not to run automatically with your parameters default values. Right?
    In Reporting Service, if you have parameters with default values in your report, your report will always auto run with these default values. We can say these default values are used for report running initially. So for your requirement, if you really need
    to see your default value before the report running, the best workaround is set one more parameter to break the auto run like you have done. If you just want your report not to auto run, your can achieve it by removing those default values.
    Reference:
    Report Parameters (Report Builder and SSRS)
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Default values for static report parameters are not visible when scheduling

    Hello
    Crystal Reports 2008 Dev
    Crystal Reports Server 2008
    When I publish a report to the repository and then try to schedule that report, the default value that I have set for a static parameter in the report is not visible.
    In the Parameters section of the Scheduling wizard this parameter is marked as [EMPTY]
    However, when I View the report (right click and select View) from within Infoview, the parameter default value is visible
    I have published in the following 3 ways:
    Publishing Wizard
    File > Save As > Enterprise from withing Crystal Reports Dev
    CMC > Folders > Add > Crystal Reports
    The results are the same for each method of publishing.
    To try to eliminate any DB issues etc i have created a report that is not attached to a datasource. 
    This test report has one Static parameter. 
    I have set 3 values for its list: Entry A, Entry B, Entry C
    Entry X is set as the parameter Default Value
    The parameter is placed in the details section of the report
    When the report is Viewed it will prompt for parameter entry, with the default value present
    When I try to schedule the report is will not have an entry for its parameter
    It seems to me that the default values for parameters should be retained from report design through to report schedule, especially when the default values are retained from report design to report View
    Is this a config problem that i have ?
    Can anyone help me with this ?
    Best regards

    Hi Robert
    Thanks for the reply and apologies for not responding sooner.
    What i have found is that if i use Publishing Wizard to upload reports it is then possible to set values for prompts during the last step of this process.
    Although this is a bit clumsy, it is sufficient for now

  • How to customize 'default: *' report templates

    Hi,
    where are 'default: *' report templates defined? They are not listed among other templates.
    What I need is to create a customized template based on 'default: vertical report, look1 (exclude null columns)'.
    Thanks

    >
    default: report templates are hard-wired into APEX and can't be modified in the way that theme templates can.
    Using the web inspector in a browser with developer tools like Safari or Firefox+Firebug you can examine the source of the rendered report with a default: template to determine the HTML structure and class(es) used and the CSS selectors applied by APEX, then either override these in your own style sheet, or create a custom theme version of the template from scratch.

  • Reporting Services web service complex xml type report parameters

    Hi,
    I have the following xml type parameter in my request query that I use in reporting services.
    <Parameter Name="accountDetails" Type="XML" xmlns:d4p1="thevalue" xmlns:i="thevalue">
    <DefaultValue>
    <d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
    <d4p1:AccountNumber>12345</d4p1:AccountNumber>
    <d4p1:AccountType>Sales</d4p1:AccountType>
    </d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
    </DefaultValue>
    I want to know how I can assign values to the accountDetails parameter from report parameters, I've tried to call it from the dataset parameter properties but it doesn't return any values. I created Parameters!accountDetails.Value on the dataset parameters
    properties and assigned it the following value: it only returns empty columns
    ="<AccountDetailDto><AccountNumber>"& Parameters!AccountNumber.Value &"</AccountNumber><AccountType>"& Parameters!AccountType.Value &"</AccountType></AccountDetailDto>"
    You're help will be highly appreciated as I've been trying to solve this for a while now

    Hi Alisa,
    Perhaps I should explain my problem clearly...
    This is my query request that I send to the webservice:
    <Query>
    <Method Name="GetPerAccountAssetAllocation" Namespace="http://tempuri.org/">
    <Parameters>
    <Parameter Name="accountDetails" Type="XML" xmlns:d4p1="thevalue" xmlns:i="thevalue">
    <DefaultValue>
    <d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
    <d4p1:AccountNumber>12345</d4p1:AccountNumber>
    <d4p1:AccountType>JSE</d4p1:AccountType>
    </d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
    </DefaultValue>
    </Parameter>
    </Parameters>
    </Method>
    <SoapAction>http://tempuri.org/IPortfolioManagementService/GetPerAccountAssetAllocation</SoapAction>
    <ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">*</ElementPath>
    </Query>
    It works well when I run it just like this, that is without specifying any parameters in the report data dialogue window or on the dataset parameters properties, it returns the values and columns correctly.
    So my problem is, I need to find out how(xml parameter syntax, steps e.t.c)
    I can do to allow users to specify the accountDetails parameter, its quite tricky for me coz its an xml type parameter, Im not sure if I should just specify the AccountNumber and
    ReportType parameters separately:
    I've tried the following without any success:
    1. Under the dataset properties:  I tried not to specify a default value for the accountDetails parameter on the xml query, then I added a parameter called "accountDetails" under the dataset parameters properties, then under parameter
    value I added the following xml value :
    <d4p1:AccountDetailDto>
    <d4p1:AccountNumber>Parameters!AccountNumber.Value</d4p1:AccountNumber>
    <d4p1:AccountType>Parameters!AccountType.Value</d4p1:AccountType>
    </d4p1:AccountDetailDto> 
    (I also added the AccountNumber and AccountType parameters under the report data dialogue window)
    This returns empty columns, is there something I'm missing, or am I doing this incorrectly?

  • WET54G v3.1 Will not accept the default password for web setup

    The setup:
    1 2WIRE wireless router for AT&T DSL connection
    1 wireless laptop, online and good to go
    1 desktop, too far from router to connect with an ethernet cable, this computer does not have wi-fi
    1 new WET54G v3.1, trying to setup as a wireless-ethernet bridge to get the wired desktop on the network and online
    I have set up the desktop with static IP: 192.168.1.1; Subnet 255.255.255.0; Gateway 192.168.1.226.  The WET54G is directly connected to the desktop.  I open Internet Explorer and go to 192.168.1.226.  After entering the password "admin" and leaving the username blank, the login prompt simply reappears as if the password is incorrect.  I have reset the WET54G to factory defaults numerous times (held the reset button for over 30 seconds).  It simply will not accept the password.
    Any suggestions?  I tried live chat but the chat window was so slow and buggy that both times it seemed we were about to make progress the window would freeze up or refresh entirely and disconnect me.  Extremely frustrating to say the least.
    Thanks,

    Hi brickmonkey, 
    Sorry for taking so long to get back on this.  We left for a long vacation and I got ridiculously busy when we got back.  ANyway I just spent some time working on this and wanted to report back.  Still didn't get it to work.
    Got into the 2Wire and wrote down it's settings:
    Router Address: 192.168.1.254
    Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway: (???) I did not see this under the summary page, but it was on the internet connection details page., it's a 151.x.x.x number, which the WET54G was not happy to accept as the default gateway.  It gave me the error "DUT and Gateway cannot locate in different subnet."  Also, on that internet connection details page, an additional subnet mask of 255.255.255.255 was listed, but I'm guessing 255.255.255.0 is the correct one to use, right?
    Because it wouldn't accept that 151.x.x.x address, I can't get any farther.  I did notice when setting up the SSID and security to match that of the 2WIRE, the channel was fixed at 6 and the dropdown was disabled.  I changed the 2WIRE from 1 to 6 in case that was an issue.  The WET54G is in Infrastructure mode, as the guide you linked to indicated.
    Any thoughts with this new info?
    Thanks again for your help with this,
    Sean

  • Problem with empty report parameters when passed to PL/SQL function

    Hi,
    We have come across what appears to be a bug in the JRC. When passing a report parameter to a PL/SQL function as a parameter, empty parameters are changed before being sent to the function. More specifically, an empty string "" ends up as the value "(')" in the PL/SQL function parameter. In our report we print the report parameters on the first page so we know that the parameters are OK before being passed to the database.
    The problem exists for version 12.2.203, 12.2.204 and 12.2.205 of the JRC.
    We have identified a workaround, but it is not exactly elegant: Before executing the report we modify all empty  parameters ("") to " " . In the PL/SQL function, we trim all parameters before using them.
    We call the function using a command object with a sql syntax like this example:
    select * from table (qa_batch_release.get_qa_br('{?p_report_id}','{?p_reg_set_number}','{?p_cr_number}','{?p_change_id_decode}','{?p_country_id}','{?p_mfg_item_no}','{?p_4_no}','{?p_5_no}','{?p_7_no}'))
    The PL/SQL function is a table returning function.
    Best regards, Thor

    Hi Kishore,
    using #COLUMN_VALUE# would probably not make much sense, because normally a report has multiple columns and not just the numeric column which you want to verify if it's negative. But APEX will fire the template condition for each column, because the report template is a column cell template.
    What you can do to make it more generic is to use for example
    #CHECK_AMOUNT#
    in the template and provide a not displayed column in your SQL statement which contains your value which is named CHECK_AMOUNT. For example:
    SELECT NAME
         , BALANCE
         , BALANCE AS CHECK_AMOUNT
    FROM XXX;Because this CHECK_AMOUNT column would be a generic name, you can use this template in all your reports as long as you provide this column.
    Thope that helps
    Patrick

    I just completed my report in the designer provided with visual studio 2008, it's a relatively complex report with 6 subreports and has multiple detail sections. The parent report has one parameter which is used in a Database command. The report works nicely when previewing from the designer and only shows up one required parameters as it should. All the subreports have parameters as well but these are all linked to things on the parent report.
    The problem is when I try to execute the report from code, it ignores my parameters and proceeds to ask for multiple parameters, both including the parent parameters and all sub report parameters. If I enter these manually just to test if it works, I then get a message saying there's an error in one of the subreport's record selection formula. However I'm not sure how much I believe this as the previewing works completely fine.
    I just have no idea what is happening and why I am getting requests for so many parameters?

    Update ***
    I have managed to work through towards getting the report to display in the .NET app now, I needed to check the IsLinked() fucntion before assigning parameters.
    However, I have now been presented with an even more weird problem: If I switch database in code, I now get asked to enter a parameter I know is a linked one, if I do I get a message saying the record selection formula references an unknown field. But if I get the designer to change database, then get it to preview, it works flawlessly (both in the previewer and in the application). Until I change the database back to the original one, where I get the same error.
    Our application needs to be used in many client organisations with each having different connection strings / databases (all have the same schema obviously) so I need this report to run independent of what the database it was designed / compiled on.
    Here is the code I use to switch database within the application, is there anything different to the way I do it to the way the crystal report designer does it? As the designer is obviously doing something behind the scenes.
    This code has worked on the 15 or so reports I've designed so far.
                   ReportDocument cryRpt = new ReportDocument();
                    TableLogOnInfo tLI = new TableLogOnInfo();
                    ConnectionInfo cI = new ConnectionInfo();
                    Tables tables;
                    cryRpt.Load(reportPath);
                        cI.ServerName = (string)builder["Data Source"];
                        cI.DatabaseName = (string)builder["Initial Catalog"];
                        cI.UserID = (string)builder["User ID"];
                        cI.Password = (string)builder["Password"];
                        tables = cryRpt.Database.Tables;
                        foreach (Table t in tables)
                            tLI = t.LogOnInfo;
                            tLI.ConnectionInfo = cI;
                            t.ApplyLogOnInfo(tLI);
