How to publish reports programmatically?

Post Author: mayuradatia
CA Forum: Publishing
I have a set of reports which I would like our client to publish to Crystal Server XI. How can I do so programmatically? If I have scripts, I just need to ask the client to run the scripts rather than explain the process of going through publishing wizard or CMC etc.
Further I would like to schedule these reports programmatically. Kindly help.

CR 2011 does not install any SDK... You can however download SAP Crystal Reports, developer version for Microsoft Visual Studio, which is an SDK that will let you work with VS 2010 and 2012.
You will then have to decide if you want to use the Crystal Reports SDK or the InProc RAS SDK.
Samples are here:

How to publish report to APEX

Are there any demo to show us how to publish the report results to APEX? Thanks for your help.

Hi!
Here is my story! I have a procedure in APEX that creates xml files. These files should be available from url something like http://host:port/apex/file.xml I'm using embedded pl/sql gateway and Oracle 11g on suse 64bit.
Is it possible or I have to search for another way to do what I need.
This is needed because those xml files contains sld formating for wms services used from other server.Try this:
Create a PL/SQL package in your schema (assuming it is called "myschema") called "myfile" with a procedure called "xml".
In the procedure, use htp.p to output the XML.
NOTE: This procedure will not, by itself, use the Apex authentication/authorization schemes. Anyone can invoke it, unless you build some logic into the procedure itself.
Then do the following:
grant execute on myfile to anonymous; -- or whatever user the EPG DAD is set up to use
create synonym anonymous.myfile for myschema.myfile; -- so the package does not have to be prefixed with the actual user
If the DAD in EPG is setup with a "request-validation-function", you need to modify this as well to allow access to the stored procedure.

How to Publish reports for endusers

Hi All,
How can I publish my webI report on server for endusers?
Thanks
Rinki.

Hi
For WEBI report, actually no need to publish report as it is already behaved as a publish report. If your user want to view their report then they can easily do it using the report server url (providing necessary credential). In this case you have to make sure that your user account has not administrative privilege. You can also schedule your report (output could be .xls, .pdf) and automatically can send this report to the end users' email / inbox etc.
Hope it will help you.
thanks
arif.

How to Publish Report as portlet?

Hi,
after creating a report within an application, how can I publish this component as a portlet. In the "Manage" Tag of the report, the option "publish as report" is not there. Do I have to create a "Provider",and if so, how can I do it?
Thanks.

You will first have to expose your application as a provider. You can do this from the grant access tab of the application. Then you should be able to see the "publish as portlet" option for your report.

How to publish Report Viewer reports as Web Services

I have some reports templates (.rdlc) having only business objects as data sources (no direct SQL connection). They are working well with Windows Report Viewer. Now I am think to make the reports available via web services to multiple apps. Is there
a way to do that? Any sample?
Thanks,
Jason

Hello,
SQL Server Reporting Services provides access to the full functionality of the report server through the Report Server Web service. In order to meet your requirement, you
can try to converting an .rdlc file to an .rdl file
and then deploy the report to report server.
If you want to rendering the report in your application, you can try to use the ReportViewer controls in remote processing mode.

How to display username in RTF BI publisher report?

Please advice how to display username in RTF BI publisher report?
May be this can be done via hidden parameter of BIP report which default value will be set up with macro like {$username$} (or smth like)?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks. That worked. I was trying to get it as part of a multi-table query, aliasing dual. But that doesn't work in SQL Plus either so I guess I can't do that.
I was trying
select o.*, d.:xdo_user_name
from oblix_audit_events o, dual d
Before that I was trying
select
:xdo_user_name as USER_ID,
:xdo_user_roles as USER_ROLES,
:xdo_user_report_oracle_lang as REPORT_LANGUAGE,
:xdo_user_report_locale as REPORT_LOCALE,
:xdo_user_ui_oracle_lang as UI_LANGUAGE,
:xdo_user_ui_locale as UI_LOCALE
from dual
but I must have fat fingered something because that works now too. Thanks.
So if I need to do this in it's own query and I'm using an RTF template, how do I make that work?
If I have to do it with it's own

How run the run the BI Publisher report for current/active/selected record

Hi,
I have one requirement to generate a BI Publisher report in Siebel, which will run on SR's List view. Report should fetch the active SR and its audit trial entities. I know this was achieved easily using Actuate (simply setting "current Recrod only" to true), but I need how to achieve this in BI publisher.
This report we are creating is in Siebel-BI Publisher integrated environment, not connecting to database. Can body give share your valuble inputs.
Thanks,
Ravi

In my experience with Siebel 8.1.1 and BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.0 when you generate a report from a Siebel View the report will show all data visible on the view. If you wish to have only a few particular records in the report you must query for them first in Siebel then generate the report again. There is useful article describing how to generate the report for the current record but it does require some config on the applet.

How to publish crystal report designed using SAP Add-on toolbar

we have installed the crystal report designer V10 and the SAP add-on on the desktop.
we have designed a formatted report in crystal report designer using an existing BW report that was created using Bex query designer. After this we saved the crystal report back in BW to a role.
We have not published the report to crystal enterprise server, since the connection to same is not in place.

How to run a BI-Publisher report from the Appworx enterprise batch sheduler

We have a BI-Publisher report that needs to be executed staight after a batch job. Does anyone know how to execute a report from the Appworx enterprise batch scheduler?
Thanks.

I'm not familiar with AppWorx, but we use Autosys. We created a PL/SQL wrapper that calls FND_REQUEST.ADD_LAYOUT and FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST to submit XDOREPPB. For any report that needs to be scheduled via Autosys, the wrapper program is executed with the appropriate parameters.
Hope this helps.

Re: Confusion about BI Publisher and Dashboards
Posted: Nov 19, 2007 4:08 AM in response to: 53637 Reply
No. All you need to do is go to the Edit Dashboard Page and pull in the BI Publisher report using the BI Publisher Report section. Ensure that you have specified proper BI Publisher path in the InstanceConfig.xml

When you go into the Edit Dashboards page, do you see a BI Publisher icon to your left? just drag and drop that into your page and then click on properties to include your BI Publisher report. If you get an error then check(only after doing the above) whether you have these entries in your InstanceConfig.xml
<AdvancedReporting>
<ReportingEngine>XmlP</ReportingEngine>
<Volume>XmlP</Volume>
<ServerURL>http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver/services/XMLPService</ServerURL>
<WebURL>http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver</WebURL>
<AdminURL>http://localhost:9704/xmlpserver/servlet/admin</AdminURL>

Hi,
I would propose reviewing the eText documentation. I noticed that for RTF templates it's difficult explicitly set the length though within an eText template, you can specify the intended length.
The Oracle post is, in my opinion, convoluted, though it's a point in the right direction

How to call the XML Publisher Report thro Standard PO Output for Comm.

Hi
We need to call our custom report(XML Publisher Report) from the standard PO Output for Communication Report.
There is a parameter(Purchase Order Layout) in PO Output for Communication in which we can see no. of standard reports. We want to add our custom report in that list so that when we will run this standard report by selecting our custom report for Purchase Order Layout parameter, we should get the output as per our Custom report.
Since PO Output for Communication is a Java Concurrent Program, we are not able to place our custom report in the list of Purchase Order layout Parameter.
