How to set user parameters in transaction MD61 through a report?

Hi,
I want to set default values for 'Requirement Type' in user parameters of transaction MD61 through a report. Please help.
Thanks in Advance.

Create Variant using SHD0 and with Group and assign to particular user's
Here is the steps
Creating a Variant Group
1. Open transaction SHD0, enter the transaction code, and press enter.
2. Choose the Standard Variants tab page, and then the sub tab page Variant Groups, and enter a group name, such as GROUP_GEN
3. Choose Create. Enter a short text on the Maintain Variant Group window that appears and save the variant group.
Assigning Users
Once you have created the variant group and the relevant transaction variants with screen variants, you now need to assign users to the variant group as follows
1. Return to the Standard Variants tab page, Variant Groups sub tab page.
2. Enter the name of a user that you want to assign to this variant group, and choose Assign. A message that this user was successfully assigned to the variant group appears in the status bar. If you choose a where-used list for users, this user is displayed in the user list.
3. However, for the screen variants of the variant group that you created above to be displayed for the user, you first need to select Set Proposal. The user is assigned to the group and the associated transactions are started with the corresponding variants only once you choose the Set Proposal function.
You can use this procedure of user assignment for all other users that you want to add to the variant group
Hope this helps.
Thanks

How to use the SCOM 2012 Web Reporting page

Hello all-
   We are on SCOM 2012 SP1. I just have a general question about reporting. I know there is a "Reporting" tab in the real, locally installed, SCOM Operations Console software. That part I get. I see that there
are many pre-made reports the for me to run. For example under Microsoft Server 2008 Operating System (Monitoring) folder there is a
Performance History report. When I double click on it, it takes me to the report window where I can click
Add Object and add a server and then click
Run.
This is pretty simple in concept.   BUT very few people at my company have the full Operations Console installed on their machine. And as I'm sure you know, the SCOM Web Console does not have a Reporting Tab. So they have to use the
SCOM Reporting website to run such reports. I found that you can get to this page at the url:
http://<reporting server>/Reports
This does bring up the Reporting console. On the list I do see a Report.Windows.Server.2008.PerformanceHistory listed. So this surely seems to be the equivalent from my screenshot above.   However, it's not even close to user friendly like
the Reporting area in the SCOM operations console software. There's multiple fields at the top. All of which are required, and almost none of which have dropbox or other ways to help you fill them in. I have no idea what to put into these boxes or the format
to use.
What am I missing here? Is there a more user friendly interface anywhere? In an ideal world, I'd really love to have a user interface where I can post the links to a few popular reports, like CPU and Disk Space for example. Then ideally
all the user would have to do is select their servers and the time frame and that's all.   Which really is what you do in the Operations Console software.   So isn't is it that easy in the web reporting tool? Is there a guide or how-to
section somewhere I'm missing? Or just a more friendly looking way to get at this information?

Well, my first screen shot above is squished, so you really can't see it. But what I'm saying is that the same report in the SCOM software has the level of configuration I want on it.   It allows you to pick the date range and add objects
to it, then you can click on Run.     However when I access the same report on the reporting console, it has all these extra fields. None of which I know how to fill in properly.
I would ultimately like my customers to be able to do exactly that in the web version. Pick their server and their date range and run it.   There are not likely going to be too many reports like you're mentioning which I can completely configure
before hand, so they just click on the link to have it run. Most times I'd like my users to at least be able to select a server name.
Any idea how I would simplify the web version of the report? Or why they look so very different?

How to remove blank pages from WebI Report in view page layout option

Hi,
I am working in Business Objects XIR2 environment. I have a WebI report with several sections. I need to show the report as a book with 69 sections (each section on new page). there are 69 sections on cost center and each cost center section has almost 10 sections embedded in it. When i see in regular view - I only see 69 pages but when I try to see in "View Page Lay out" option, there is one blank page added after each results page.
Please let me know how to remove this blank page. I need to give users the option to download the book as PDF on to their machine. Now, when I download to my machine, I see one blank page after each results page.

you have to check formating very carefull.

How to access and display a Web Service from a WSDL in JSP or JSTL ?

Dear All,
We need to access a Web Service which is hosted as WSDL How to access a WSDL file from JSP or JSTL, parse and display the SOAP response in JSP page.
Any simple example or URL as reference to an example will be useful for me.
It seems io tags of jakarta is able to send soap message, but how to display it in JSP.
Yours,
Sankar.B

Dear Sir,
Yes. I would like to know more about the Forte and how to consume WSDL file from JSTL. The following are my querirs.
1. How to connect the declared JNDI from a JSP page. i.e: the Datasource - ex: booksDS
2. We connect the Tomcat server using JNDI as jdbc/scott. But, if I give jdbc/scott in JSTL as datasource={jdbc/scott}, we could not able to connect. We use the following code in a JSP page to connect the DB from a JSP page. (Its quite easy to modify, so we use the connection in a JSP page.)
3. How to Consume a WSDL url from JSTL. Ex: If there is a URL : http://localhost/ws/MathService.asmx?wsdl OR http://www.xmethods.com/test/BabelFish
4. How to display the result. We tried via SOAP from io taglib of Jakarta, but gives us an SOAP (it also looks like xml) response. But, how to use the value from that soap response in IE client thru JSTL/JSP.
5. Whether this JSTL tool will be available with Forte Enterprise/Community Edition. If so EE, whats the price.
Please Reply Immediatly. We tried, trying, going to try to display a wsdl response, but not able to display in IE thru JSP/JSTL. But, weve tested the www.gotdotnet.com examples of asp.net web services, we are thru. Its quite easy it seems in .NET. But, we feel whether even there is not even one example in JSTL/ Java Web Services Dev. Pack to utilise a web service in full cycle. The example which uve given is thru servlets. We dont use servlets. Cos, its very easy to edit JSP pages, instead of compiling the serv. and using it.
I hope ull reply for all the above queries, since ur from SUN.
Expecting your fav. reply.
Yours,
Sankar.B

How to read Data of a Webi Report

Hello Friends,
I have a task where I need to read data of a Webi Report, how can it be done?
Basically I have a trigger report which runs every day and get the latest RACN number from the database. I am trying to get that RACN number from trigger report using BOBJ SDK.
I really appreciate your suggestions on this.
Regards,
Rakhy.

Hi Rakhy,
Is the RACN Number a column or dimension in your webi report? Is it a universe object(webi based on universe)
Also what version of BusinessObjects you are using?
If you are using XI 3.1 and you need to retrieve objects from a webi report it can be done using the ReportEngine SDKs.
Please refer to the developers guide and API referrence guide available at
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/resdk_java_dg_12_en.zip
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/resdk_java_apiRef_12_en.zip
Also refer to the document at
http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-38618 for better understanding the workflow.
An example snippet of how to retrieve an object is below
=========================================
DocumentInstance wiDoc = widocRepEngine.openDocument(oInfoObject.getID());
ReportDictionary reportDictionary=wiDoc.getDictionary();
for(int a=0;a<reportDictionary.getChildCount() ;a++)
String name=reportDictionary.getChildAt(a).getName();
out.println(name);

Please help: User cannot see webi report data

Hi,
I've got a wired problem here in my webi report. Basically I am located in Singapore and produced a webi report for our user in UK. The report looks totally fine with all the data shown correctly. But when our report user logged into the dashboard from UK, she could only see partial data and some of the information are missing(blank cells in the report).
To verify the cause I've done the following test:
1. I remote control her computer and log into dashboard using my account, the result is I get same problem and I cannot see some of the data.
2. I let her remote control my pc and log into dashboard using her account, she no longer has this problem and can see complete data.
We use same version of IE, same JAVA version. And the report data is not time sensitive, so different time zone might not the possible cause.
This problem is killing me. Can anyone please help and let me know any possible solution? Thanks so much.
Edited by: Sinsin Tan on Jul 14, 2010 5:59 AM

Hi Sinsin, what version of BusinessObjects are you using? Is it XI 3.1?
I don't know if it is the same problem or not, but I have seen that before when a user cannot view the data, change the font and/or background color and the data becomes visible. Reinstalling the client fixed that problem. If you couldn't figure out the root cause, you might want to consider this option.
If you are using the BusinessObjects tool, you should join [ASUG|www.asug.com]

hi Neeraj,
1. In Universe Take Storename, city, State, region, Country objects
2. Double click on Storename, go to properties tab and click on edit button. Query panel will open.
3. Double click on city and click on sort button, double click on state and sort it, double click on region and sort it, double click on Country and sort it.
4. If you want to keep any condition like particular country, you can drag country object in to the Conditions pane. If not leave it empty.
5.Click on Save and close button. Save the universe and export it.
6. In webI drag and drop the Storename object and click on 'Add Quick Filter' button. Now all the columns you included in the list of values appear in the Add Quick Filter dialog box.
Now You can select the values from here and run the query. you will get the result.
One more way is there using cascading LOVs
1. Go to Tools menu > List of values > Create Cascading list of values.
2. Double click on Country, Region, State, City and Storename. Close it.
3. Save and export the universe.
4. In webi drag and drop the objects in result objects pane, apply query filter and run the query.
Now you will get the result.
