How to show sysdate in report header

Hi everyone
i want to show the Sysdate option in my report header.
i have been looking around and i found out that i have to add {$SYSDATE()$} to my report default value, the issue is
1) cant find where is my default value so i can edit it
2) is there anyway that i can write this comman {$SYSDATE()$} in my header and it will call the system date ?
thanks

In the Data Model Editor go to Parameters.
Create a New Parameter
1. Give it a Name P_Sysdate
2 set Data Type to Date
3 Set Default Value to {$SYSDATE()$}
when you create you XML it should look like

<DATA_DS>
<P_SYSDATE>2013-07-03T01:00:00.000-04:00</P_SYSDATE>
<G_1>

How to get SYSDATE in the header section dynamically when we run the report

In the header section
Run Date : ("sysdate").
How to get the sysdate dynamically in the RTF template, when i go across the google i found that header and footer section did not allow form fiields .
So is there any way to do it.
Thanks in Advance.
Have a Nice Day.

You cannot insert form fields in the Header section, but you can just insert the code to achieve this. For example: insert this in the header section to view the sysdate: You could format the date as you would like..
<?xdoxslt: sysdate(‘YYYY-MM-DD’)?>
Since you are new to BI publisher, search the forum, review the Report Designer's guide for BI publisher. You will find that most of your basic questions are answered there and there are examples as well.

SAP Report Painter - How to show currency key in header

I've created a new report painter report against table Faglflext. Basic key figures are extracting Local Currency (HSL). This generic report will be used for various company codes that have different local currencies. In the report header I've specified a General Text Variable with Variable name currency but no data is displayed. The data in the columns are however correct based on company code selection.
Please advise how I can show currency type in header.
Thanks

Hi Sonja
You have chosen HSL in the column definition which means to display the values in comp code currency
If I have understood your requirement correct, you want to display the currency of the company code in the Header text or some where as a text, based on the company code given in selection parameter
Thats really not possible!!
However, one smart thing you can do is to
1. Go to GRR2
2. Choose your report and Menu Extras > Report Text > Title page or Header
3. Enter a Text saying that
"This report displays the values in comp code currency... Currency of comp code 1 is USD, comp code 2 is SGD, Comp code 3 is GBP, etc"
Hence, the users would come to know the currency in which it is executed

Show column in report header

Hi
Is there a way of showing a selected column in the report header in Portal, I believe I may need to use the htp.print function?
For example
if the sql was
select emp, mgr from emp
how could I get the 'mgr' column to show in the header?
Thanks in advance

I am trying to get a report that appears something like below:
Manager Name: John
Employee1
Employee2
Employee3
Employee4
which could be produced from 'select manager, employee from
emp where manager = 'JOHN';
I would wish the 'manager name' to show only in the header
Thanks

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can show the "Resource Locks" Report in Portal.
I can see 4 reports through Content Management -> Reports i.e. Approval Maintenance, Link Consistency, Resource Statistics, Time-based publishing.
If I want to add more reports over here than "How I can achieve it".
Also I have seen the settings System Administration -> System Configuration -> KM -> CM -> Repository Managers -> Reporting Repository
But here I find no combo box for Active Reports, so from where I can activate the reports and show them in Content Management -> Reports
Please help me.

Deep,
Are you talkign about the report which give you details of which Portal Objects are currently locked?
If yes, then you can go to System Adminitrator > Monitoring > Object Locking
Hope this helps,

How to show in a report a pdf blob from database

Hi all
We are working on report 6i and report 10. We have a report wich needs to show a blob field from database that storages a pdf (type application/pdf). OLE2 is deprecated. The pdf blob field must be displayed in a preview and must be printed. In local, it works. When it works on a browser, the pdf blob field is missing. If we load the field into a pdf file, the field is not visible in the browser.
Do not get it to work. How I can implement? Could you give us any example for this?

In local, it works. What do you mean by that exactly? You see the pdf in Reports Builder?
If you just want to show the pdf in a browser (not embedded in a report) it is easy to use mod_plsql. You can have a simple db procedure like this to show any kind of blob:
procedure show_webdoc(io_blob    in out nocopy blob
                     ,i_mimetype in varchar2
                     ,i_filename in varchar2)
is
begin
   if dbms_lob.getlength(io_blob) >0 then
      owa_util.mime_header(nvl(i_mimetype,'application/octet'),false);
      htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(io_blob));
      htp.p('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'||i_filename|| '"');
      owa_util.http_header_close;
      wpg_docload.download_file(io_blob);
   end if;
end show_webdoc;

How to show ABAP ALV report in Portal iview?

I have a ABAP report developed in ALV grid. Now I want to show it in EP iview. How can I do that? What type iview I shall use? And any step by step procedure/doc will be really appreciated.
Alternatively is it possible to create a HTML tabular report similar to that of ALV grid and show it in EP.
How complex will it be?

To add to padmakar's remark. You can use a transaction iview but it has limitations.
First of all: You can use a transaction iview with or without Gui. If the user has a sap gui then 1) you make a transaction for your ALV 2) create a transaction iview defining the alv transaction + with gui output
If the user has no gui. Then it will only work if your ALV is made web enabled ( so not on 4.6c ).
Other alternatives are to create a BSP + bsp iview instead of a list. Or use Webdynpro.
Hopes this helpes somewhat,
Frederik

Hi,
Tnx guys, maybe il try it (about ORDIMAGE) some other time. I have an urgent task to do.. We are now migrating our application from the developement server with 9iAS 1.0.2.0.0 with Portal 3.0.6. Im having a problem on migration, coz the export/import utility of Portal 3.0.6 fails. Some guys like us from other discussions agree to that. So i upgraded my production instance to 9iAS 1.0.2.2.1 with Portal 3.0.9.8.2. with patch 30982. In which they the bug for export/import is fixed.
Im posting my problem to you guys, maybe u can help me...
How can i export my application running on Portal 3.0.6 (with a bug on export/import) to a production instance Portal 3.0.9.8.2? Can it be posible to migrate a portal instance from a lower version to ahigher version of portal?
Some guys suggest for me to upgrade my development instance to Portal 3.0.9.8.2.. but i cannot do that.. coz it might destroy our application currently running on that developement servers over Portal 3.0.6.
Pls do suggest.. coz it might be a great help to us.
Tnx in advance,

How to show web layout reports from 10g forms

Hi all ! When I try to open a report file with extension .jsp from a Form using web.show document() or run_report_object() only paper layout is showing on the screen so how I display a web layout from a form with proper documentation or design. Again why only data is showing on the screen without line,ractangle and other documentation but when I run the same report from report builder It is showing all on the screen.Please help how to resolve this. Please provide some proper code or way to solve this.
Thanks & regards
Sanjit

Well,
Web layout means that in place of (or in addition to) the paper layout, you get the report designed in JSP code. So all the frames, repeating frames etc will be expressed in JSP code using the Oracle Reports custom tags. Since it is code-based, you can insert your HTML or Java code in here to customize the output. You can in fact start with the HTML template, open it in reports builder, and start inserting the data using Reports custom JSP tags. In web layout, there are no "page breaks". So your report will be a JSP file, and can be deployed along with your J2EE application.
and see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frm10gsrw10g.pdf

How to Show total value in the header 2nd page but based on 1st page footer

How to show total value in header in report builder but i have the total have related with the total in footer.
Example
===============================================
Page 1
Empno Ename Sal
1 Scott 1000
2 ALlen 2000
3 Susi 1000
Total Sal Page 1: 4000
===============================================
Page 2
Total Sal Page 1: 4000 --> How to get it?????
Empno Ename Sal
4 Budi 1000
5 Roger 200
6 George 2000
Total Sal Page 2: 3200
Please Help..
Thanks

hmm .. what i would do is
- create a placeholder column
- create a field in the header and one in the footer
- have the footer field reference the summary column
- have the header field reference the placeholder column
- create a fromat trigger on the footer field to
store the value of the footer into the placeholder column
so when the report is executed and the footer field is formatted, the format trigger stores the current value of the summary in the placeholder. then the pagebreak occures and the header field is formatted .. printing the value.
there might actually be an easier way, just reference the two fields to the same summary column and in theory, since there is nothing happening between the time when the footer is formatted and the header is formatted, the values should be the same .. however this is a theory and i have not actually tested this. since reports does all kinds of fancy optimization this might have unexpected results, but it's worth a try.
thanks,
ph.

HI 1
I have a report in list display. which has the header with headings of the report and under which the report follows i.e , in header , material , plant , item,net price ect is mentioned and the detaisl about it follows under it. Now when I scroll down the report the headerr details alos scrolls up and it becomes difficlut to see what is against what if I have come down in the report as the header has vanished upwards on scroll. How do I make my report header static at one place and teh items just scrolls under it so that w ecan easily locate what is against what.
Thanks
Aarav

SO you mean to say that I ahve remove the write statements from my reports and add teh column headings in the list headings side by sude in the row mentioned there , but my headings are in three lines one under each other . If you run ME2M report and see a output in list display then you will see that the header is constant and the item sunder it move , that is how I wnat it to happen in my report too. Kiundly suggest please.
Thanks

Fixed report header

How can i fixed my report header,when i scroll my report page my heading always be fixed

Syntax
TOP-OF-PAGE [DURING LINE-SELECTION].
Addition:
... DURING LINE-SELECTION
Effect
This statement defines an event block whose event is triggered by the ABAP runtime environment during the creation of a list. This occurs when a new page is started - that is, immediately before the first line in a new page is to be output. All list outputs that take place in the event block are placed below the standard page header of the list. You cannot output more lines than are available in the page within the event block. The NEW-PAGE statement is ignored within this event block.
The entire output written to the list in the event block belongs to the page header of the current list page. The top page header cannot be moved when you scroll vertically in a list displayed on the screen.
For each TOP-OF-PAGE event, the placeholders "&1" - "&9" are replaced with the contents of system fields sy-tvar0 - sy-tvar9 in the standard heading and the column headings of the standard page header during creation of a basic list. You can assign values to these system fields in the program.
Addition
... DURING LINE-SELECTION
Effect
If you do not use an addition, an event block is triggered for event TOP-OF-PAGE during the creation of a basic list. If you use the addition DURING LINE-SELECTION, an event block is triggered for the corresponding events during the creation of details lists. You have to use system fields like sy-lsind to distinguish between the individual details lists.

How to show a Page Total in a Main Report that is calculated in a SubReport

Hi,
I have a Main Report and a SubReport with the detail.
The Report has several pages. I want to show a Page Total in each Page, retrieving data that is in the subreport (Detail).
I tried to use a shared variable, but the problem is that the formula fields are assigned at the end of the subreport, so I can't pass the value back (to the main report) until the last record of the subreport is printed.
I also can't show the Page Total at the subreport, because I have a particular format that I need to respect and only can be printed from the Main Report.
Is any way to do this ? At this moment, with the shared variables I'm getting 0 until the last record is printed.
Also, I can calculate the Page Total from outside Crystal Reports, do to there some fields that can grow, so I can't figure out how many record are going to be printed.
Thanks in advance!
Ariel

hello, this may depend on how the main report was actually paging...
1) do you have one group per page for example?
2) is the sub on a group footer level?
3) does the subreport use a different data set than the main report?
some suggested workarounds would be to
a) use a report header cross-tab (identical to the existing crosstab) that creates an array of values that you can access anywhere on the main report
b) place an identical cross-tab above the existing one, and suppress all of the subreport sections (not the section where the subreport sits) and then bring the value back to the main report
cheers,
jamie
