How to embed placeholder from report layout editor in a link

I have created a report selecting the custom report layout option. Rather than using a link on the column, I would like to add different links in the footer section in the Report Layout Editor. My problem is trying to create a link and pass a value from the report to the next report. I have tried to use the placeholder #fieldname.field# in an attempt to pass the value in my call to the other report object but it is not working. My actual call is listed below:
Address
When I click on the link the other report returns "No row returned". If I substitue the placeholder with a value I know exists the link works correctly.
Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can embed the placeholder in the link command. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sharmila-
Thanks for the reply. I am trying to reference a value from the report rather than the parameter itself. I'll try to explain. I have a report which displays information for an employee. For a custom report, in the report layout editor there are three different sections, headings, body and footer. In these sections you place the HTML to customize your layout. In the body you can reference placeholders like #EMPLOYEE_ID.LABEL# for the column heading or #EMPLOYEE_ID.FIELD# for the value retrieved from the database. In the footer section of the report layout editor I want to create a link to another report using employee_id as the parameter in the link to the next report, however, within the link I am not able to get it to recognize the value from the placeholder. When I click on the link the URL shows the placeholder #EMPLOYEE_ID.FIELD# rather than the value like 1001.
Any suggestions?

Report Layout Editor

I have used this successfully in the past but have a new challenge.
In the past I have been able to produce clean and tidy reports for a single table. Now I want to do the same for a query joining two tables (order and transaction) on a single order id.
An order has several transactions. I don't want to repeat the static order details on every row, just the changing transaction details.
I have been able to list only the transaction details in the body section quite easily. I've also been able to list the labels for the order details in the head section. But when I try to list the field data using the .FIELD suffix instead of the .LABEL suffix it is not changed to data.
I take it that the head section is designed to deal only with .LABELS while the body section deals only with .FIELDS.
Can anyone suggest an alternative for doing this? Would a dynamic page be better? And if so how do I do it? Bear in mind that I need to pass a variable containing the order id from another report.

How to embed the WEBI report as portlet

I am a fresh man of WEBI.
I want to know how to embed the WEBI report to a web page as the portlet (like weblogic portal).
I have used the OpenDocument URL to do it, but the report have a tool bar on the top, status bar on the bottom and a prompt area on left. So what i want to know is how to integrate the report itself on my portal (no tool bar, no status bar and no prompt area). Is there any way to control the display of these different area?
thnaks!

Normally there is not way to deactivate the statusbar and the toolbar. What you can do is to try to capture the HTML stream using javascript and filter out the toolbar components. This can be quite complicated though since the html structure of the report is quite complicated (multiple iFrame layers). And there is no garantee that this structure will remain inchanged in the next fix pack or service pack.
A rather simpe solution could be to "cover" the toolbar with an additional opaque frame.

How to pass value from report to form?

Dear,
I built a report and I create button on report too. This
button will show a form that I want it to automatically show
receivable values from report so that user don't complete them.
So I create a button on the report . I enter Javascript in
PL/SQL Code tab in '...after displaying the footer' as follow :
htp.formOpen
(owa_util.get_owa_service_path||'portal30.wwa_app_module.link?
p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=1736929105&p_arg_names=_show_h
eader&p_arg_values=YES&p_arg_names=GNO&p_arg_values=1&p_arg_names
=QNO&p_arg_values=2');
htp.formSubmit(null,'New Answer');
htp.formClose;
GNO , QNO is value which I want to pass
As you can see, the above code can pass only static value.
But I want to pass values that is the condition of this report.
I mean,such as, this report show data that gno=1 and qno=2 and I
want to pass these values to form. So both value will appear in
gno and qno field.
So please tell me what should I do. Please help me. I don't
know how to do it. I look forward to hearing from all of you.
Please!!!!!! Don't hesitate to answer.
Thank you very much

Hi Marc,
Yes, you have it correct in what I am trying to do and if I put a default value in the hidden item on page 2 and run it then that works fine. I just can't get the value from the form passed to page 2 for some reason. There are actually 22 items on the form that can be filtered but just using COREID for simplicity. When I run the form I am just entering a value in the COREID field to try and return those records. Most of the other items on the form are displayed as Popup LOV(fetches first row). Would the values of all these be done the same in a comma delimited list for the items and values? I was trying to get at least one of them working first. Here is the search result that comes up in the debug window:
Search Results
0.01: Item: P2_COREID HIDDEN
0.01: show report
0.02: determine column headings
0.02: parse query as: MOTEAMSAPEX
0.02: binding: ":P2_COREID"="P2_COREID" value=""
0.02: print column headings
0.02: rows loop: 15 row(s)
No data found.
Here is the SQL statement:
select coreid, serialnumber
from MOTEAMS.V_ASSETS where
instr(UPPER("COREID"), UPPER(:P2_COREID)) > 0
The branch settings are:
Set these items: P2_COREID
With these values: &P1_COREID (also tried this with period at the end)
I am new to this and not familiar with apex.oracle.com. How would I go about posting to that site?
Thanks,

How to get information from a text editor in the SAP standard transactions

Hi SAP gurus I have a requirement in which it is required to gte the information from a text editor(which is not a field) in mm02 (click on) goto Purchase Order Text in this view there is a text editor there is some text in te the text editor i have to get that information in a table can it be done if so please give example and steps
Points will be given to useful information

Ah yes, excellent question, and not really a clear cut answer. In my experience, the easiest way to find this information is to simply create the text using the standard transaction, in this case MM02. Then go to transaction SE16, using table STXH, do a query on this table, entering your user name, and today's date as the creation date. The results should show the text that you just created, now you can see the object, id, and the way the name is being used here.
I also understand that in some cases, there is a button next to the editor in the screen which gives you some idea of these values, but this is not implemented everywhere, and I believe that I've only seen this in one place, can't remember where, but the first solution above will always work for you.

How to pass parameters from report to graph

I am trying to call an existing chart from Reports60.
I figured out that only CHAR and NUMBER parameters can be passed. The mychart.ogr executable works fine from command line with parameters passing.
Now I'm trying to pass parameter to Graphic Display, for that I associated Report Column/Parameter with Chart Parameter. (set parameter/column property).
It's not working.. I'm getting Graph for the initial values parameters which are in the chart. Seems like there are no parameter value passing from reports to graph.
Are there any tricks to pass value for the CHAR parameter?
Thanks in advance for the help,
Helen

How to delete pages in Report layout

I am Thankfull you to.
Thanks in advance
Shashi

Ok. i figured out that I can provide a special parameter named 'BLANKPAGES' to the rwbuilder program or rwclient, etc... But I still don't like it because I have to modify how I execute and print reports...why should I have to do that when the report itself should have that ability? If I create a new report, it doesn't need the BLANKPAGES parameter, it just prints one page...why can't i modify my existings reports then?
anyone got ideas??? Thanks!

How to manually create a Report Layout using Crystal

I am trying to create a new layout using Crystal for my Statements using BP Aging . the out of the box Crystal report for that will not work and it would be easier if i just decide what tables I want to look at. The problem is i am not sure how to set up the parameters so when i print from the aging it will automatically fill in my parameters with the correct information. I have already written the report but when i attempt to print from the Aging report it asks me for my perimeters every time. I tried to look at the out of the box version but it does not even use perimeters so i have no idea how SAP feeds Crystal what information to filter by. I'm using 8.80 PL 16 thank you in advance for any help you can give.
Edited by: Megan Salem on Oct 31, 2011 5:31 PM

not really, The system one all comes from some sort of "pld" table and the only designations are the f-numbers (F_124) and i don't have a clue what those are, and when i try to link what should be an the invoice number to the OINV table other things come back blank even when i use left join. I need some of the information that is provided but i need more than what is currently there so i need the ability to link to the other tables and have it work for every one. (I'm trying to make it more like the dunnung statement only so it can be run at any moment in time and give the exact amount owed.)

How to run portlet from report

Whenever a report is run by a user, I would like to have a different portlet eg: PORTLET_LOG_TIME also executed (say from the PL/SQL section).
How to do this?
Thanks,
--Ali

It basically depends on what action you plan to do from the called procedure.
If the purpose is simply to call it then
you just need to add the call to the PORTLET_LOG_TIME in your Additional PL/SQL section.
e.g.
begin
PORTLET_LOG_TIME ;
end;
Thanx,
Chetan.

How to export BIAR from reports?

Hello,everyone!
I want to migrate the reports form my local BO server to another BO server,My ideas are:
First,I export my local BO reports to BIAR file format.
Second,use import wizard import the BIAR file into another BO server.
But,I can't know how to create the BIAR file or how to export the BIAR format.Please tell me list the step it.Thanks!
And please tell me the idea's right?
Thanks!
jane

Here are the steps to create .biar file using command line:
The biarengine.jar should be used to import or export a BIAR from command line. You can also use Import wizard.
1. Create a "properties" file as follows specifying CMS logon credentials, BIAR file path and additional details.
A sample properties file is as follows:
#This file imports a biar, note this line is a commentimportBiarLocation=C:/CR#Where the file to be imported is location at c:\CR.biarbiaraction=importXMLuserName=Administratorpassword=CMS=vanmsung01:6400authentication=secEnterprise
2. Here are different attributes that can be used in properties file.
CMS : CMS nameuserName : administratorexportQuerypassword : admin passwordauthentication : secEnterpriseaction : exportXML or importXMLexportBiarLocation : absolute path separated by "/"importBiarLocation : absolute path separated by "/"exportDependencies : True or FalseincludeSecurity : True or FalseexportQuery : Query to retrieve objects to be exported. e.g. select * from ci_Infoobjects where si_name ='Xtreme Employees' and si_kind = 'Webi'exportQueriesTotal : Number greater than 0. It tells the tool how many queries you want to execute.
3. Add <Java install Directory>\bin to Path system variable.
4. Open a command line window and go to Business Objects\common\4.0\java\lib
5. Execute biarengine.jar using a command as follows:
java -jar biarengine.jar <properties file path>
6. Either the BIAR file will be imported or exported depending upon the properties file.
