How to query repository to determine Dynamic parameters used by a report

Using BOXI 3.1 SP3
Windows 2008
.NET
SQL 2008 Database
I would like to query the repository to figure out which report is using which a dynamic parameter and then to figure out the name of that dynamic paremeter.
The issue is the when I publish a report with Dynamic Paremeters from CR2008 to BOXI, BOXI will automatically create all the underlying connections and also rename the parameters if there is a duplicate. I have a situation where there were over 100 +reports published and thru repository explorer in CR2008, it's impossible to tell which parameter belongs to which report.
I would like to find in the repository the name of the dynamic parameters being used by the report.
If I query CI_INFOOBJECTS, it does have the prompts and the original name (SI_NAME). I don't know if it's possible thru Query Builder to query and find this result, or whether I need to write some .NET code. The only hint in CI_INFOOBJECTS that a report has dynamic parameter is thru SI_GROUP_ID = eor://HOECRS02.NA.XOM.COM:6400/AVDGc3Df_G5Ej9HoJqO3V2g
All dynamic parameters have SI_GROUP_ID populated.....but not sure how to use this unique value AVDGc3Df_G5Ej9HoJqO3V2g which appears to be a SI_CUID but not sure what to query next to get more information.
If anyone has a query built already or some code to point me in the right directiion, that would be greatly appreciated.

The best way to determine what your wattage draw is is to purchase a killawatt meter. They are relatively inexpensive (20-30 bucks).

How to track the history of supplier sites used for tax reporting (1099)

Hi,
Oracle financials doesn't allow two supplier sites setup as tax reportable sites (Unless one is inactive). Suppose if the supplier uses site1 for the year 2009 and site 2 for 2010 and now there is site3 setup as tax reportable. All three sites were setup in 2009 and all three sites are active. Supplier chosen different sites for each year as their tax reportable site.
How do we know which site oracle used to send 1099 for 2009 & 2010? How to track the history of supplier sites used for tax reporting (1099) in previous years?
Thanks in advance.

Ram

Would the begin_date, end_date and status columns on HZ_PARTY_SITES_USES be any good? Our R12 installations is too new to have accumulated much data yet, but I would look in those columns first.

How to intialize to zero for dynamic parameters in crystalXIR2

Hi Guys,I am new to crystal reports. I am using dynamic parameters in my reports. 1)Each report consists of 6 or more dynamic parameters. Can it possible to intailise to Zero(like in static parameters). 2) my main report consists of dynamic parameters. each parameter consists of three database columns. i am selecting data by using SQL concatenation operator (data looks like 051012-1000-countryname) and sub-report consists of static parameter ( data looks like 1000. it is middle column of dynamic parameter of main report). Can it possible to link parameters of main report and sub reportCan anyone give me idea. Thanks Guys.

Passing dynamic parameters to an IR Report

Hello,
We have installed Hyperion BI+ 9.3.1. We are in the process of evaluating the development of IR reports which would
have a requirement to have parameters passed dynamically. For example, we'd be interested in passing a date as a parameter which then would be used by the query inside IR to filter/bring back data from the database pertinent to the date being passed.
The need for this is because once developed we want to execute the IR on a weekly basis whereby the date keeps moving forward to be then used to extract relevent data.
Any thoughts on how this can be done? Also, on a related note are there any backend command line utilities or interfaces that can be used to pass the parameter dynamically to the IR report?
Thanks in advance
Rajesh

Doug,
Thanks for the response. The delivery of the report output would be via Workspace (iHTML). I mentioned date parameter as an example. The report or reports may need to accept other paramaters as well - like department id or product. While the number of parameters and the nature of the parameters would be known ahead of time the value would need to be derived dynamically (by say reading a database table containing transactional data)
As for the command line utility, I am thinking more along the lines of say Oracle Reports which enables you to invoke a run-time command (rwcli60 for example) and pass the necessary arguments to the report.
I have seen the sample java programs that are shipped with the product (and we have used one of them called AddBqy) but haven't seen one that enables passing dynamic parameters.
I will look into the SmartCut option as recommended by you.
Any more insights/suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Rajesh

Do we have Tool to re-point Dynamic Parameters in multiple crystal Reports

Hi Experts,
Do we have any tool to re-point Dynamic Parameters of Multiple reports in a single shot.source of crystal reports is SAP ECC tables.
Thanks,
BharathU

Hello,
Not sure what this has to do with Database connectivity but the answer is no.
If you have access to a .NET or Java Developer you can write your own using the SDK.

Eclipse java viewer has Adobe Flash reqrment when Dynamic parameters used

Hello,
I have developed a web application that ties in the crystal viewer for eclipse (java) and I use it on PC's and the Apple IPad.
When I use Crystal's "dynamic parameters" the report does not launch in the IPad. The crystal reports viewer launches with the error, "This content requires Adobe Flash Player 9 or higher". Of course, Apple does not support Adobe Flash.
So, there is code in crystal's dynamic parameters that is calling for Adobe Flash? Is there a way I can disable that?
Any help is much appreciated!
thx,
Mark
Edited by: mahewitt on Jan 18, 2012 8:22 PM

I will close and assume that the viewer uses flash. It would be good to be able to strip that out since the IPad is a fairly ubiquitous device.

How to find if one key figure is used in any report

Dear Experts ,
I have one key figure info object .I wanted to know how to find this key figure is used in which report .
As I know "where used list " but this will not help me .
Any suggestions please share .
Puru

Hi Puru,
Try following approach,
goto RSZELTTXT table and put your key figure name in the long text and click on execute. Get the list of all the ETULID's and go to table RSZCOMPDIR from this table for all the ETLUID's get all the list of COMPUID's and from COMPUID's you will be able to find all the reports from RSRREPDIR in which that key figure is getting used.

How to query repository?

Hi,
I would like to query the Forte repository using TOOL code. How do I do this? I had done this a long time back by setting some trace/log flags, but I can't recollect it.
Thanks,
Eric

Here are Some trace logs related to repository
trc:rp Logs all activities on the Repository.
trc:rp:2 Enables tracing of user actions that affect the repository.
Messages will be generated for the local client only.
Messages are the same format as those written to the
central repository operation (.ROP) file. There are two
useful "volume" levels: 50 and 75. 50 is normal and should
suffice for most occasions. Level 75 is quite verbose.
trc:rp:18:100 trace state of the components
trc:rp:21 Starting with release 1.1.J.0, this trace logs performance
characterstics of the repository cache (known as the LOS, the
Local Object Space manager). See technote 9343 for more details.
trc:rp:39 Trace operations at the storage manager access level.
In particular, trc:rp:39:1 will display messages about recovery
from Ctree and Btree before image logs.
trc:rp:41 Traces dependency manager notification operation.
1 - Funny situations that might or might not be expected.
25 - Start of notificiations.
50 - Which dependents are notified.
150 - Each dependent as it is considered.
trc:rp:42 Traces dependency manager management operation (e.g. addition
and deletions from DM).
50 - Entry of new records, deletion of records, bit setting
75 - Gotten bit values
100 - method entries
trc:rp:45-47 Traces Btree cache, before image logging, and logical I/O activity
trc:rp:59:100 trace & update state of the components
anything else let me know

How to select multiple values from the parameters in BI Publisher report

How to select multiple values from the parameter drop down in BI Publisher, and how to handle this mulitple values from the report sql...

Hi kishore,
I have used all the steps as you mentioned in your previous reply....including checking Mulitple Selection Check Box..
Iam able to get the results when I am selecting one value..
and also I am able to handle multiple values the in the query by using IN :Parameter, but seems when we select more than one value from the parameter drop down i think the Bi Publisher is sending the values in concatenated form something ilke
ex: "'ACCOUNT','HR','SALES'" ,and when trying to display the parameters values in the output, its throwing the error as 'missing right paranthesis' ....on the whole do you have any solution which would handle
1.Single selection.
2.Multiple selection.
3.'ALL' Values.
4.Separating the concatenated string into individual strings and dispaly them on the output of the report..etc..in case of Mulitple selection.
Ex:
Concatenated String from BI Publisher:"'ACCOUNT','HR','SALES'"
Expected Output on the report:ACCOUNT,HR,SALES
reply to this would be much appreciated....
thanks,
manoj

Calling SAP Trx with dynamic parameters using EP6SP2

Hi
I would like to call an SAP transaction from EP6 and pass parameters (one is variable) to the initial screen, process this screen so that the user is dropped into next screen ready to work.
I would like to pass the screen field's value, which is variable, as a URL parameter.
eg. http://<ep6 server>/...?p_id=xyz
How can I do this?
Thanks
Doug

Hi Doug,
You can write a custom Java iView, calculate the variable param there and use URLGenerator to get the URL for the SAP transaction. Then just display it in an IsolatedHTMLContainer in the iView.

Patrick.

How to query on a single row form using only one page

Hi APEX experts, I am just a beginner in apex and I face several problems on development. Despite that the forum helps me a lot and your answers to other people are valuable , I have stacked into something. Could you please someone tell me : if there is a way to define a single row form page based on table in which I could query and update without using a tabular page (to call the single row form). I want only to use only one page. Does APEX has this functionality? Thank you very much?

I haven't tried it, but I am going to guess that yes it's possible (or if I were going to do this, this is what I'd try and I suspect it will work).
If you take a moment and step back and look at what the wizard does when building a "form on a table with report", all it does is build two pages with page 1 (report overview with drill-down Edit button or link usually) calling page 2 (form) and setting the PK field on the page 2 form with an automated row fetch process and built-in DML processes. It's not that hard.
Page 2 really doesn't care what the calling page was in order to query a single row; it just cares that ANY caller sets the primary key value for the ARF process to fetch a row. So I would just make page 2 call itself. This is what I'd do (and you might have to fine-tune little things that I might not have forseen but I think this will work).
For the sake of example, let's say our table is PARTS and in it is a PART_ID, PART_NUMBER, PART_DESCRIPTION, PART_COST, etc. Assume PART_ID is the primary key and sequentially assigned by the DB in a trigger and is functionally meaningless to the user and is for PK purposes only. Let's assume PART_NUMBER is a unique key (although not the PK) by which the user will "know" a unique row (since the PK of PART_ID is more internal and not meaningful to the user). Assume PART_DESCRIPTION, PART_COST, etc. are just attributes.
1. Use the wizard and build a "form on a table with report". This is just to get the handy dandy ARF process and DML processes, validations, etc. all generated for you. Let's assume the report page is Page 1 and the form is Page 2.
2. When done, delete the report page entirely (so delete page 1).
3. Edit the form page (page 2) and change any branch references from the nonexistent page 1 to now be page 2.
Now here's the part where something has to set the internal P2_PART_ID field when page 2 is run. So why not set it from itself from something the user will uniquely enter?
4. Create a P2_PART_NUMBER_FETCH item (text item is fine or if you want a LOV or whatever that's good too....whatever works. For clarity, you might even want to create a separate "search" or "query" region separate and above your existing form region to set this field apart visually so users know it's a search field. Source for this field should be "only when current value in session state is null".
5. Created some sort of "GO" button to go along with the P2_PART_NUMBER_FETCH field.
6. Make sure none of your existing post-submit processes fire when GO is pressed (edit all of the computations and validations and processes and ensure that they have conditions such that they do not fire when the submit value is "GO", so like a PL/SQL expression and set to v('REQUEST')<> 'GO').
7. Add a new validation to your page that only fires when GO is pressed. Have it validate only when GO is pressed. Have it validate that P2_PART_NUMBER_FETCH is not null.
8. Add a new PL/SQL process to your post-submit processing that only fires when GO is pressed. Have it look up to the database based on P2_PART_NUMBER_FETCH and get the PART_ID that corresponds to the part number the user entered and set the part number, something like this (even better for style and reusability if you embed this in a DB package function and call it):
SELECT part_id
INTO :P2_PART_ID
FROM PARTS
WHERE PART_NUMBER = :P2_PART_NUMBER_FETCH;
9. Not sure if the branches that were generated will suffice for this (might need to add a new one...review what you have and see) but the bottom line is that the page should branch to itself (page 2) and not clear the cache.
10. When the page repaints, since :P2_PART_ID is now populated in session state (again, page 2 should not care how it got populated...only should care that it did get populated by anything (including itself)), the automated row fetch (ARF) should fire and query up the row from the database for editing.

How to make table control rows dynamic/unlimited using TC with Wizard

Hi Friends ,
I have designed a table control layout using table control with wizard.
Now the problem is when we design a TC layout ,then we have to design it on the page . The page has upper & lower limits. so the maximum size & maximum rows in layout is limited. I have tried to create a TC layout with maximum size & maximum rows . Maximum rows created in Layout is 25.
Now suppose if enduser wants 100 entries to enter by coping a file of 100 records in my TC present on entry screen , then ONLY 25 entries are displayed on entry scren before doing any user action or saving and after saving only these 25 entries are sved in DB. Means enrtries from 26 to 100 are not displayed on entry screen or saved in DB.
So my requirement is to display all 100 entries at a time in entry screen before saving with scrolling up & down facility and these 100 entries should also get saved in DB after clicking save button. In short I want dynamic entry screen table control which can show/dieplay Any Number . of entries whatever the number may be entered by enduser .
Plz note that I have used all 3 facilliteis i.e.
1. Scrolling
2. INSERT/DELETE
3. SELECT/DESELECT
while designing TC with wizard .
Scrolling buttons like FIRST PAGE, PREV. PAGE, NEXT PAGE, LAST PAGE are displayed.
BUT they are not functioning though there is system generated code present in both MPP and in PBO & PAI. After clicking any of them , data which is dislaying on entry screen ( Here it is 25 entries ) is getting cleared/disappeared from enry entry screen.
Waiting for ur response & solutions.
Thanks & Regards,
Sudhir

Hi Ashish ,
Do one thing .
At PAI of screen holding TC , there is module name tc_mark on request .
in this module , there is work area declared g_tc_wa .
Now go to tc_init module of pbo , where u have given your select command .
select * from ........................................
use this code .
if g_tc_wa is initial .
   SELECT * FROm
   g_tc_wa = 'X'.
   REFRESH CONTROL 'TC' FROM SCREEN dynnr.
   ENDIF.
Just do this , m sure all buttons, insert, delete , scroll bar.. everything will work .

How to Query Multiple Fields from different Tables using Toplink Expression

Hi,
I am trying to prepare an Oracle Toplink Expression to qurey the multiple columns of different tables. the query as following. Please can anyone help?
SELECT CYCLE.CYCLE_ID,

CYCLE.ADDUSER,
ASP.FIRSTNAME || ' ' || ASP.LASTNAME ADDUSERNAME,
CYCLE.ADDDATE,

WHERE CYCLE.ADDUSER = ASP.ASPUSER_ID
and then i want to send that expression to readAllObjects method as a parameter
Expression exp = (..............this is the required qurey expression...................)
Vector employees = session.readAllObjects(getClass(), exp);
thanks,

You havent given any information on the mapping between Cycle and Asp. I presume there is a one to one mapping between them. Also it appears there is no "WHERE" clause to limit the number of cycles being retrieved. If that is the case then I presume you want to load all cycles in the system.
Thats just a clientSession.readAllObjects(Cycle.class). If you have indirection turned on the Asp should get loaded when you do a cycle.getAsp().
I presume that SQL you posted loads all the columns of CYCLE and ASP. If you are interested in a subset of CYCLE or ASP then you should do a ReportQuery or partial object read.

How do I put data into a template using the Labview report generation toolkit for Microsoft Office?

I am running Lookout 5.0 and have recently purchased the Labview Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to create reports from my Lookout logged data. Since I have never used Labview I am having my problems. I tried following the tutorials but they do not seem to be examples of what I want to do.
I log rainfall totals (1 spreadsheet)in Lookout from 40 different sites in 5 minute increments. I copy these totals and paste them into another spreadsheet which sums them up to give me hourly totals and then paste those totals into a spreadsheet for distribution.
In Labview I create a new report and use the distribution sheet as my template, but how do I complete
the steps of loading the raw 5 minute data into labview and then paste it into the hourly total spreadsheet and then transfer those totals into the distribution template?
I have been trying to figure this out for over a week, and I am getting nowhere.
Any response would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jason P
Jason Phillips

Lookout saves the files in .csv form which can be opened in Excel. I did make some progress by using the "append table to report" vi which allowed me to put values into an array and then those values were entered into my template on my report vi.
Where I am stuck now is I want to be able to put values into my template from a .csv file, not from an array I have to manually put numbers in.
Once those values are in my template I want to pull summed values from the template and place them into a final excel file for printing.
I have attached examples of the files I am working with to help you better understand what I am trying to do.
I hope that makes sense.

Will Dynamic Parameters remain connect if source system rebuild.

Hi Experts,
Will dynamic parameters remain connected if the source SAP system is formatted and rebuild.
Our Scenario
Now we pointed our Crystal Reports to SAP Ecc Tables.
SAP Systems : A
Client : 10;
IP : 192.xxx.xx.xx
Now the SAP Source system is formatting and going to rebuild with Production COPY.
but the system information (IP,SYS NO, Client No) will remain same .
My Question is : Do we need to re-point Dynamic parameters in the Crystal reports again? or connection remain.
Thanks,
BharathU

Hi Frischer,
If the copy is the exact same, meaning the query id, as well as the properties of the query are exactly the same, then it would work, as far as I know.
Even the prompts have id's and measures and dimensions too. If those are not the same, then I believe that you would need to remapp.
I hope this is a very helpful answer to you.
Kind regards,
John
