Identifying fields used in all reports held on the database

Is there a way or tool that will allow me to identify all the fields used in all of the reports that we have saved to the database via Discover Desktop / Plus?
This would be handy so we can see what reports would be affected if an item within the End User Layer was changed.
Grateful for any help on this matter.

Hi
It is pretty hard to get a list of what items are in a report that is sitting in the database. However, if you have the gatheirng of statistics enabled, every time a workbook is run Discoverer stores what happened in the table called EUL5_QPP_STATS. If you take a look at the following script it might help:
SELECT
QS.QS_DOC_OWNER USER_NAME,
QS.QS_DOC_NAME WORKBOOK,
QS.QS_DOC_DETAILS WORKSHEET,
TRUNC(QS.QS_CREATED_DATE) DOC_DATE,
(LENGTH(TO_CHAR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID)))+1)/9 ITEMS,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),1, 6)) ITEM1,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),10, 6)) ITEM2,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),19, 6)) ITEM3,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),28, 6)) ITEM4,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),37, 6)) ITEM5,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),46, 6)) ITEM6,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),55, 6)) ITEM7,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),64, 6)) ITEM8,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),73, 6)) ITEM9,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),82, 6)) ITEM10,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),91, 6)) ITEM11,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),100,6)) ITEM12,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),109,6)) ITEM13,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),118,6)) ITEM14,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),127,6)) ITEM15,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),136,6)) ITEM16,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),145,6)) ITEM17,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),154,6)) ITEM18,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),163,6)) ITEM19,
EUL5_GET_ITEM(SUBSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID),172,6)) ITEM20
FROM
EUL5_QPP_STATS QS
WHERE
(LENGTH(TO_CHAR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QS.QS_ID)))+1)/9 < 21
AND QS.QS_CREATED_DATE > '01-JAN-2007'
Note: change the date above to see what workbooks have been run from a certain date
This script calls some functions that are not part of standard Discoverer. However, Oracle does provide this in case you need them. To install them, you need to run the EUL5.SQL script which you can find on the Admin machine in the folder called $ORACLE_HOME\Discoverer\Util. You need to run this as the owner of the EUL. If you have the EUL5 business area installed then this script will almost certainly have already been run. However, it does not hurt anything if you run it again as the code is 100% reinstallable.

How to see what Tables are being used in all reports

Post Author: tmashley
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hello,
How can I see what database tables are used in all my online reports? I have around 1000 reports posted to Enterprise over 6 different datasources. If possible I would like to see the fields within those tables that are being used to.
I am using Crystal Reports XI Release 2
Any help is appreciated
Thanks,
Tom

I don't think you can see the databases of the reports unless you download the report onto your pc as a Crystal Report format and then open it under Crystal Reports.
This way it will open the report within Crystal Reports and will show you the datasource it is coming from.
I doubt if you can see them online.

Complex navigation & use of intermediate reports,NOT for the feint-hearted!

Hi all,
I'm trying to setup qutie complex navigation...
I have a report that provides metrics based on the organizational structure, which in the dashboard is presented to the penultimate level, and permits a drill down to the lowest level (centre). At the rpd level, the metrics (sales metrics) are defined at the centre level to which the organization structure dimension is linked. We have a metric defined which flags whether the centre at which the sale is made is the same as the centre to which the employee is assigned/usually works at (this has all been loaded by the ETL). We then have a count distinct metric (Num of Employees) on the sales reps ids for those records in the fact table that have this previous flag marked. All of this works as expected.
The dashboard displays this last metric described (Num of Employees) against the organizational structure. Again, OK. But we need to navigate after clicking on this metric, to another report, which displays all sales assigned to those employees (regardless of centre at which they were made), i.e. if the metric shows "6", then after clicking on this value, the "final" report to which we navigate must show all sales for those 6 employees. Naturally the table in the dashboard where the user clicks does not display the employee data, as it displays results at the centre level, so some kind of "intermediate" report which obtains those 6 employee IDs is necessary (this is how it would be done fore example in SQL). We have done this creating a report with employee IDs, a calculated field which compares the two centre values (as in the flag defined in the RPD), and finally contains the 4 organizational structure fields which need to obtain the values from the first report on the dashboard (ive assigned filters to these, which point to the correponding columns in the dashboard report). So, in theory this report would list the employee IDs we are counting in the "Num of Employee" metric. The "final" report then only needs to filter the values in the Employee Id column based on the employee IDs listed in the "intermediate" report.
The error im getting is: "State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 17001] Oracle Error code: 7455, message: ORA-07455 ..." the oracle error message given is that the query exceeds the time limit allowed by the database as the query is estimated in hundreds of hours. The main reason I think this may be ocurring is because the intermediate report is accepting as filter ALL values in the columns ive indicated, where as what is actually need is that it take only the value of the organizational structure columns that correspond to the metric the user has clicked on. I.e. the filter instead of reading only the specific organizational values, is reading all the values in the table, and hence the query is not permitted.
Has anyone achieved anything similar???

by using Direct database request your bypassing all the wanderful metadata you built in the BMM layer, as such much functionality is not available.
If you really need to use such complex SQL, I would suggest creating an inline view in the phyiscal layer and at least model this through your BMM either as a flat data source (ie include the dimension columns and model the same inline view into your BMM star)
If you do that, the BI Server will know what other logical columns this data source can relate you and you should find the navigation works as expected.
If you dont fancy that good practice, have a look at creating GOURL formulas as the column fx's, format as HTML to present the data as a hyperlink and manually pass all the parameters to the 2nd report.
I'd do the first option, its more inline with intended use.
What cant you do using the 'normal modelling / answers techniqes with union (see combined request in answers) and complex sql (evaluate function in RPD)??

Edit the field in an alv report, also save the changes.

Hi Everyone,
    I have made one interactive ALV report using function
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
also i had provided the code to edit a particular col.
fs_fieldcat-fieldname = 'AENAM'.
fs_fieldcat-tabname = 't_mara'.
fs_fieldcat-seltext_m = 'Changed by'.
fs_fieldcat-emphasize = 'X'.
fs_fieldcat-edit = 'X'.
APPEND fs_fieldcat TO t_fieldcat.
CLEAR fs_fieldcat.
now i want to make changes in the AENAM field and save the changes done back on the database table MARA.
pls, if anyone can provide me some assitance on how to save the changes on the alv.

Hashing of the password field using MD5 and then store in the XML

Hi,
I need to design a form with User ID and a Password field. When i extract the XML from the form i need to hash the password field using MD5 and then store it. Does anyone have some kind of experience in doint it. Can you please suggest some way to do it.
Thanks,
Sayoni.

Hi,
To hash password you can use function from http://kevin.vanzonneveld.net/techblog/article/javascript_equivalent_for_phps_md5/ or try to find another implementation. Just call this function on some event like button click for example.
Also I made some example. See attach.

Forms/Reports: Role of the Database cache and Web cache

Hello oracle experts,
I am running a purely Forms and Reports based environment (9iAS).
My question are:
a. Is it possible to use features from the Web Cache and
Database Cache to boost the performance of my applications?
b. Are all components monitorable from the OEM?
Please guide me so that i can configure my OEM to monitor my
forms and reports services.
thanks in advance for your reply
Kind regards
Yogeeraj

Hi BradW,
The way this is supposed to be done in Web Cache is by keeping separate copies of a cached page for different types of browsers distinguished by User-Agent header.
In case of cache miss, Web Cache expects origin servers to return appropriate version of the page based on browser type, and the page from the origin server is just forwarded back to browser.
Here, if the page is cacheable, Web Cache retains a separate copy for each type of User-Agent header value.
And when there is a hit on this cached page, Web Cache returns the version of page with the User-Agent header that matches the request.
Check out the config screen titled "Header Association" for this feature.
About forwarding requests to different origin servers based on User-Agent header value, Web Cache does not have such capability.

Open a subreport from an existing report without hitting the database

Hello Experts,
I want to open a webi subreport with the data from an exisiting webi report directly not from database.currently i am using hyperlink on some measure values and in theses hyperlink, i am using opendocument query and passing the values in the filters created at subreport side,but every time i clicked on hyperlink its opening the subreport but taking data from data base instead of existing report.
i also tried in this way by passing a context from parent report :
I am having country column in my report which is having many countries, i want that when i click on england it should open the subreport with the data only for england from parent report not from database.
="<a href=\"http://server:port/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName="URLEncode("aaa")"&sReportName="URLEncode("aaa")"&sReportPart=table name at subreprt""&sPartContext=/country[england]""&sWindow=New""&sRefresh=N""\" title=\"click\" target=\"_new\" nav=\"web\">"[country]"</a>"
Thanks in Advance:)

Hi, Harry.
Have you tried editing your subreport query properties? uncheck Refreshable and Editable checkboxes.

Running reports stored in the database

Hi guys,
Is it possible to have Reports 6i produce reports that are
stored in the database? Looking at the documentation, it would
appear the report definition files (RDF) must be stored in the
filesystem. I don't really want to be handing out filesystem
access (managing and it) to people - is there a way around this?
Thanks,
denty.

Hi,
Would anyone have any recommendations regrading running reports based on the data stored in an oracle database. We will soon go live with a project using an oracle DB. We do not wish to run reports directly from the production DB as it will impact performance. Have you actually measured the impact? If not, you are just making assumptions that -- lacking any other informatin -- appear to be invalid.
Is there any recommended method/architecture for reporting suggested by oracle for this type of scenario?
You make it sound like some unusual scenario. What you've described so far (running reports against an OLTP database) is just bread and butter operations for Oracle.
One idea is too runs some scripts that will write the data to another database and from there we will runs out reporting queries. Are there any other potential solutions?
And how does reading the data to insert into some other database cause less contention than reading data for a report?

How do I code PL/SQL using files instead of directly against the database

Hi All,
My current project, like pretty much all I've every worked on, requires all developers of pl/sql routines to code those routines in source controlled files. We then edit the files (normally using TOAD - trying to move to SQL Developer) compile them against the DB, fix the errors, test etc.
I've been trying to do the same in SQL Developer (1.2 and 1.5EA) and it appears as though I can't get the tool to understand my .pks and .pkb files are packages - and thus when I compile them I will receive a "compiler" window containing the errors. It appears to simply run the code as a script returning me:
Warning: execution completed with warning
PACKAGE BODY XYZ Compiled.
This is not the same behavior I receive when I edit objects directly in the database (something I never do).
I hope I'm not missing something obvious.
Thanks in advance.

Your latest EA fixed this, at least for subversion and cvs, hooray! and I'm quite happy with it.
But I think our posters need a quick how-to for subversion:
* the latest EA has subversion and cvs installed
* open VIEW menu->Versioning Navigator
* create your SVN repository in Versioning Navigator, that will establish all of the authentication stuff for your later work
* use VIEW menu->Files and navigate to your subversion working checkout directory.
The File navigator will become your main work zone, if you're anything like me.
for unconventional file suffixes:
* open TOOLS menu->Preferences
* click the File Types topic
* click "Add.." to add the file name extension
* it won't let you specify content type in the little "add" dialog; just click OK
* when you return to the main Preferences screen for file types, your new type will be selected, and below there is a content type drop-down under "Details for type .blahblah"
* choose SQL Script as the type for your new file type, and click OK to commit the changes
* I find "SQL Script" much easier to work with than PlSqlNode, which seems to suppress the file handling and versioning features
Good luck!

Security when using EM web interface to administer the database

When I'm connecting to the database
via EM Database Control web interface,
it uses http protocol (http://machine:5500/em),
can it be used for safety https protocol,
or are there when using standard http protocol
at least passwords encrypted before
sending it over http?

I have called
'emctl secure dbconsole' command,
it run successfully,
but when I tried to start it
'emctl start dbconsole', it failed,
now I'm not able to stop it,
when I do so, the output is like this
'--- Failed to shutdown DBConsole Gracefully ---',
the state is 'not running', but when I try to
start it now it complains that EM Database Control
is already running.
What to do to make it work now at least without SSL?

Can Discoverer Reports Saved on the Database be Copied Across Instances

We are using Discoverer 4i Plus Release - 4.1.48.08.00.
When workbooks are saved to the database, is there a way of copying them across to another instance (rather than having to re-create them)?
Thank you,
Thalita

Yes. From the file menu, select Export. This starts a wizard which will export the entire EUL, BAs, or individual objects. If you just want to move workbooks, choose Individual Objects, then Workbooks from the drop down.
To import, fire up admin, connecting to the other database, select Import from tools menu, and the wizard will walk you through.
A word of caution - if you just export workbooks, they may import without errors into another schema. If the BAs, folder, or items are different between the export schema and the import schema, you will get errors when you try to open the workbooks (you may get errors when you try to import them, too).

Field value is getting double while updating the database table

Hi Experts,
A simple doubt :
there is a standard program through which a zfunction module is getting triggered, through this zfunction module i am updating the database table.

I have also done the CLEAR & REFRESH internal tables starting of the Function module.
Can you please help me out.
