How to trigger a report based on a event/stored proc or sql dts completion

Post Author: Crystaldev
CA Forum: Publishing
I want to run/trigger a crystal report based on file existence or based on a stored proc/sql dts/a value present in a sql table. The way I want to do is schedule a crystal report in crystal enterprise and then run the report based on a event like file existence or based on a sql dts completion or a value existence in a sql table. We are using crystal reports v10.
I am not sure how we can do this, any help is appreciated. Thanks.

How to generate a report in pdf from a stored proc

Hi, i need guidance on how to generate a report in pdf from an oracle stored proc.
The environment is oracle 10gas + 10gdb.
On a specific event, a PL/SQL stored procedure is called to do some processing and at the end of the processing to generate report which has to be sent to the printer (and optionally previewed by the user).
Can anyone assist me with this?

Hi ,
One 'simple' way is by using the DBMS_SCHEDULER db package and the procedure CREATE_JOB(....) using as job_type the value 'EXECUTABLE'...
Read for further info in 'PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference'.
If you have access to OEM ... you can configure this there using wizard.....
Other way is to use the External Procedure call capabiblity of Oracle DB Server...:

How to create a report based on a DataSet programatically

I'm working on a CR 2008 Add-in.
Usage of this add-in is: Let the user choose from a list of predefined datasets, and create a totally empty report with this dataset attached to is. So the user can create a report based on this dataset.
I have a dataset in memory, and want to create a new report in cr2008.
The new report is a blank report (with no connection information).
If I set the ReportDocument.SetDataSource(Dataset dataSet) property, I get the error:
The report has no tables.
So I must programmatically define the table definition in my blank report.
I found the following article: https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/869, and came up with something like this:
internal class NewReportWorker : Worker
      public NewReportWorker(string reportFileName)
         : base(reportFileName)
public override void Process()
         DatabaseController databaseController = ClientDoc.DatabaseController;
         Table table = new Table();
         string tabelName = "Table140";
         table.Name = tabelName;
         table.Alias = tabelName;
         table.QualifiedName = tabelName;
         table.Description = tabelName;
         var fields = new Fields();
         var dbField = new DBField();
         var fieldName = "ID";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         dbField = new DBField();
         fieldName = "IDLEGITIMATIEBEWIJS";
         dbField.Description = fieldName;
         dbField.HeadingText = fieldName;
         dbField.Name = fieldName;
         dbField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt64sField;
         fields.Add(dbField);
         // More code for more tables to add.
         table.DataFields = fields;
         //CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo info =
         //   new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
         //info.Attributes.Add("Databse DLL", "xxx.dll");
         //table.ConnectionInfo = info;
         // Here an error occurs.
         databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
         ReportDoc.SetDataSource( [MyFilledDataSet] );
         //object path = @"d:\logfiles\";
         //ClientDoc.SaveAs("test.rpt", ref path, 0);
The object ClientDoc referes to a ISCDReportClientDocument in a base class:
   internal abstract class Worker
      private ReportDocument _ReportDoc;
      private ISCDReportClientDocument _ClientDoc;
      private string _ReportFileName;
      public Worker(string reportFileName)
         _ReportFileName = reportFileName;
         _ReportDoc = new ReportDocument();
         // Load the report from file path passed by the designer.
         _ReportDoc.Load(reportFileName);
         // Create a RAS Document through In-Proc RAS through the RPTDoc.
         _ClientDoc = _ReportDoc.ReportClientDocument;
      public string ReportFileName
         get
            return _ReportFileName;
      public ReportDocument ReportDoc
         get
            return _ReportDoc;
      public ISCDReportClientDocument ClientDoc
         get
            return _ClientDoc;
But I get an "Unspecified error" on the line databaseController.AddTable(table, null);
What am i doing wrong? Or is there another way to create a new report based on a DataSet in C# code?

Hi,
Have a look at the snippet code below written for version 9 that you might accommodate to CR 2008, it demonstrates how to create a report based on a DataSet programmatically.

How to create a report based on selected item from Select list?

Hi,
I have created a tables_LOV based on:
select table_name d, table_name r from user_tab_cols
where column_name like '%_type%'
Then I created a page item ListOfTables, Display as select list and pointing to tables_LOV.
I run the page, and i can select the table i want from the drop down list.
How to create a report based on the selected item? (ex: select * from selected_table)
many thanks in advance
Salah

Hi Salah,
Allright, have a look at this page: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=vincentdeelen:collection_report
I think that simulates what you're trying to accomplish. I've set up the simplest method I could think of.
The report is based on an apex collection. If you are not familiar with that, you should study the documentation: APEX_COLLECTION
To recreate my example you should:
1) create an (interactive) report on your collection
SELECT *
   FROM APEX_collections
WHERE collection_name = 'MY_COLLECTION'
2) create a page_item select list for the tables you want to display (in my case this is called "P38_TABLES" )
3) create a dynamic action that triggers on change of your select list page_item. The dynamic action must be a PL/SQL procedure perfoming the following code:
declare
l_query varchar2(4000);
begin
l_query := 'select * from '||:P38_TABLES;
if apex_collection.collection_exists
        ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION' )
then
    apex_collection.delete_collection
      ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION' );
end if;
apex_collection.create_collection_from_query
    ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION'
    , p_query           => l_query
end;
Make sure you add your page_item to the "Page Items to Submit" section.
4) Add an extra true action that does a refresh of the report region.
Here are two pictures describing the da:

How to trigger change documents based on inbound-idoc?

Hi experts,
Currently I'm working in on a project where I have to create an interface based on IDOCS. This is an interface for two SAP-HR systems.
If there are made changes in the dialog (gui) by a user, there will be created a change document, which can be displayed by report RPUAUD00. For the inbound-interface based on idocs it's important that there will also be created a change document in the system based on this idoc. We have tested this, but no change document is created.
Can anybody help me to solve this problem: "How to create a change document based on the inbound-idoc?"
Thanks in advance.
With kind regards,
Roy

Thanks for responding. First, I like the idea of defining an event, but I'm still stuck with how to trigger it. I looked at dynamically registering events, and maybe doing something where a click on the graph control registers an event for key presses on the vi. I'd still have to figure out out to terminate the key press event. Unfortunately, (actually it's a feature I like..) there are a number of different ways to complete typing in a scale change. I routinely use ctr-enter (habit from working on a laptop), though enter works fine, and clicking somewhere else is probably the most common method. I am not that familar with User Defined Events, so I may be overlooking something obvious here.
The graphs are a Bode Plot, with a seperate graph for RPM vs Phase Lag, and RPM vs Magnitude. I want them to always be plotted on the same x-axis. The plot is generated when the user doubleclicks on a dataset. After that, it's just the user looking at it. They can change the axis without any new data being generated.
Thanks,
Chris

How to trigger crystal report from SAP ECC

Hi All,
I hope i m right forum to ask this question.
we want to do label printing from Crystal reports. data will be present in SAP ECC .
So I below issues
1 ) how to connect SAP ECC database with Crystal Reports.
2 ) how to trigger print output in Crystal reports from ECC , lets say I create a Delivery In ECC , the print output will be issued to Crystal report and I should get a print out Immediately ( for printing - printer will be connected to local system and SAP network printer ) .
I have worked with this type of scenario in smarforms , adobeforms. but not with Crystal Reports ...

Hi Yashpal,
First thing you need to do is install the Connector on both your work station where you run Crystal Reports as well as the SAP Server where the data is.
So I moved your post to the SAP Integration Kit forum.
Need to know what version of Crystal Reports you are using?

How to Generate a Report Based on User's Parameters from Web Site

Hi, all,
I am trying to use Oracle Developer 6.0 Report Builder to generate report based on what user types in from the web site. Since I am a novice, I am wondering if anybody would help me with the following questions:
1. How can I create a report based on user's parameters?
Assuming that I have 2 text fields EMPNO and DEPT on the web site, after user types in some value, how can I pass these parameters into my query, can I do something like:
select ENAME, JOB, EADDRESS from EMP
where EMPNO =
some_reference_of_parameters_from_user
or is there any other way to achieve this functionality?
2. How can I pass a PDF format report back to user after the report is generated?
Any help is greately appreciated!!
Best regards.
Judy

Hello,
In the Report Builder, create two user parameters, and set the parameter name, datatype, width, and default values to what you want. Modify the query and put in a where clause (e.g., where deptno = :p_deptno). When you request the report with PARAMFORM=YES on the URL, it'll generate a default parameter form in HTML and allow the user to enter in the selected parameter values. Also set DESTYPE=CACHE&DESFORMAT=PDF on the URL to get the output back as PDF.
If you upgrade to Reports 6i, you can customize the default HTML parameter form.

How to filter a report based on count?

Here is my scenario: We would like to report activities on a server if there are multiple date in a month. Here is an example:
Server Date Activity
Server1 7/1/09 Hardware maintenance
Server2 7/1/09 Hardware maintenance
Server2 7/14/09 Software patching
Server2 7/14/09 Server reboot
Server3 7/5/09 Hardware maintenance
Server3 7/5/09 Server reboot
The report will show the following
Server2 7/1/09 Hardware maintenance
Server2 7/14/09 Software patching
Server2 7/14/09 Server reboot
Server1 and Server3 will not show up since there is only one date in July (even though there are two activities for Server3).
I thought of using a report as a filter to a second report. In the first report, find a way to determine which server to report on. But how would I finter the 1st report based on count as the logic stated above?

Hi Max
Our requirement is to see all the activities for a server in a month ONLY IF there are activities on DIFFERENT dates. So using my example, server2 has activties on 7/1 and 7/14. Then we want to see all the activities for server2 in that month. Server3 has two activities but both activities are on the same date. So we don't want to see server3.
Counting by server will not work because that will include server3 in my example.
What I really want is to be able to count unique occurrences of dates per server in a month. And if this count is > 1, then this server will be in the report.
I used a pivot table to count the unique occurrences of dates by server by month. So using my example, I have this result:
Server1-July: 1
Server2-July: 2
Server3-July 1
What I really want (conceptually) is to be able to filter this pivot table by the matrix column which is the count. I just couldn't figure out how to do that :). Then I thought I could use this report (with pivot table result) as a filter into another report.
Hope you have some idea....:)
Thanks

Hi ,
After creating the dataset under datamodel save your data sets.
Click on Datamodel , on the right side window you will have the Main data set option , click on the drop down option and select Concatenated sql option.
Check the below links you will get a good idea.

How to create a report based on the selection of a node of a tree

Hello,
I am new to Oracle Apex and I was trying to build a tree and also an interactive report based on the empno column of the emp table.
I have created a tree based on emp table. Now I want to display records of the employee selected in the tree.
Here is the tree query:
select case when connect_by_isleaf = 1 then 0
when level = 1 then 1
else -1
end as status,
level,
"ENAME" as title,
null as icon,
"EMPNO" as value,
null as tooltip,
null as link
from "#OWNER#"."EMP"
start with "MGR" is null
connect by prior "EMPNO" = "MGR"
order siblings by "ENAME"
Can anyone tell me step by step how to go from here?
I tried to follow the thread Re: tree question but could not understand much from it.

The approach for reloading the page and displaying the report is quite simple.
<li>You start by creating a new page item which would be used to store the selected node ID , eg. P100_SELECTED_NODE (you can make it atext item and change it hidden once everything works as expected)
<li>Modify the tree query and change the link column in the tree definition SQL query to a link to the same
for example if your page is 100 , you would make the tree node link to the same page but set the P100SELECTED_NODE with selected node's id_

In this case it would be
'f?p=&APP_ID.:100:'||:APP_SESSION||'::::P100_SELECTED_NODE:'||EMPNO as link Now when you click on a tree node link , it would come back to the same page, but set the P100_SELECTED_NODE with the empno of the clicked node.
<li> All that is left to do, is changing your Report so that it refers to the new item inorder to filter the records for this employee i.e empno
SELECT ...
WHERE empno= :P100_SELECTED_NODE

How to trigger a form based on object type and process type

Hi all,
I am new into SRM.. I have been asked to develop a form by cloning an existing standard form..
Using bbp_output_change_sf badi you can trigger the form by passing the object type but the scenario is such that depending on the object type and process type the new form should be triggered.
The parameter iv_object_type passes the object type but how could i pass the process type ?
In the badi I noticed an import parameter is_event that has a field called transction_type that carries the process type but this field never got populated when i checked using debugger.
Please help as to how i can trigger the form based on the object_type and the process_type.
Thanx in advance.

Thanx again Jay Yang.. Well is there any possibility that you could get the items that were confirmed..
Let me eleborate..
Suppose in the PO u order an item for 10 nos and 5 gets confirmed and u return 2..
Well in my case it is that i need to fill up a field Qty returned / Qty confirmed..
I was able to get the number of items from the PO by passing the the passing the parameter to the FM "bbp_pd_conf_getdetaill"
but i dont know how to get the number of items been confirmed..
The quantity field in the line item structure gives me the number of items returned..
Can u tell me how to get the number of items been confirmed....

If you want this kind of thing automated, I personally am very fond of the ODI -> OBIEE Data lineage solution as provided in Oracle By Example tutorials :

How to create a report based on radia selection

Hi,
I am new bie to Appex, I have a requiment to generate a report based on existing table with the select creditaria. I mean, the select creditaria wil be the radio button, if i click any option the report will change accordingly.
It is nothing but filter condition but i need to do with the radio button/items. Please give the detail steps
Thanks in advance.
Kumar.

Kumar,
First you will need to create the radio group on the page with the report and determine the list of values you would like to filter the report on (dynamic or static). ie:
select CUST_STATE as display_value, CUST_STATE as return_value
from DEMO_CUSTOMERS
order by 1Then you will need to update the report's where clause (demo application page 2 example):
select customer_id, cust_last_name || ', ' || cust_first_name customer_name, CUST_STREET_ADDRESS1 || decode(CUST_STREET_ADDRESS2, null, null, ', ' || CUST_STREET_ADDRESS2) customer_address, cust_city, cust_state, cust_postal_code
from demo_customers
where cust_state = :P2_RADIOWith an Interactive Report, make sure you list the radio group item (P2_RADIO) in the "Page Items to Submit" fields in the report region.
The you can create an on change dynamic action based on the radio group to refresh the Report region. I made a quick example on apex.oracle.com

Depending on the number of items in the radio group, you may want to think about using a select list also.
