Identifying reports

Hi All,
We are trying to identify the report name from the query.
Apparentlly, DBA informed us that couple of reports are taking long time to run and are occupying maximum percentage of CPU time on the database. The DBA has sent us the queries of these reports and we need to identify the Reports.
Could you please let us know if there is a better way to identify the reports than below?
We are running the below query in query builder to get the reports that statred during a particular time.
select SI_NAME,SI_STARTTIME from CI_INFOOBJECTS where SI_STARTTIME>='2011.10.06:10:00:00' and SI_STARTTIME<='2011.10.06:12:00:00'
Once we have the report name we are accessing the reports to check if the query sent by the DBA matches with the one in the report.
Could you please let us know if there is a better way to identify it.
Regards,
BO XI R2

I can think of a couple of different ways to approach this.
a) ask the user community what reports take (too) long to run.
b) ask the DBA what user executed the query, than ask him which report he used.
c) ask the DBA for the actual select, you should be able to tell the universe used from that, check which reports use it.
You may check this list with the reports that ran in the time window.
d) If this is a centrally developed report, the developers will mostly recognize the report from the query (and if it's not, it's all about user education and a good universe ;-).
This will probably lead you faster to the source of the problem than simply checking every report that ran.
Good luck,
Marianne

How to identify reports that are using a specific universe object?

Any idea how to use BO Auditor or Metadata Manager to identify webi reports that are using a specific universe object or universe prompt in the report SQL?

Hi Samuel,
In case you are using BOXIR2 you can do this by editing the crystalenterprise.webi.xml file.
Replace the CrystalEnterprise.Webi.xml file (Take a backup) with the edited one.
Path where you can find this file- Tomcat/webapps/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/CrystalEnterprise.Webapps/ePortfolio/plugins
Paste the Custom Documentation folder in Tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\desktoplaunch\
May I know your email Id so that I can send you the edited crystalenterprise.webi.xml file.

How can I identify reports that use specific tables

Hi, is there a way that I can identify the reports that select from specific tables? We have 3,000 reports in business object enterprise XI R2 SP5. and we're trying to identify all the reports that use a specific table.

Or if you have a developer in Java or .NET available you can write one. Fairly simple to get the info.
In .NET you would open each report, write the name of the report to a log file with the output of the SQL Statement:
Using RAS as the report engine.
            GroupPath gp = new GroupPath();
            string tmp = String.Empty;
            rptClientDoc.RowsetController.GetSQLStatement(gp, out tmp);
            MessageBox.Show(tmp, "Data Source Set and SQL Statement", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
If you want more details is is available with a few more lines of code. The above would only show you what is used in the report.
I don't believe there is a BOE tool that can do this but they may have one.
Here's a link to the BOE Admin forum: BI Platform
Thank you
Don

Identify reports using a specific universe object

Hi,
How do I find out all webi reports using a particular universe object or universe prompt in the report SQL?
Thanks.

Samuel,
You might have some success working with an Excel spreadsheet which has been programmed with macros and was developed to access the CMS database and produce a universe to reporting pairing product. The source for this spreadsheet/macro is on the BOB board, available here:

Query to identify broken reports

Hi,
I am working on a project basically to clean old discoverer report which no one uses or are broken (e.g. objects inside a report is missing). I just want to know is there any script/table available to identify reports which has missing objcts and errors out when we try to run it. We have way too many such reports and I would like to automate it instead of doing it manually by opening each and every report. BTW we are using Discoverer 10g.
TIA
-SS

Hi,
I cant think of a way to do that :
1. you probably do not have access to all the reports so you cannot run them and check if they are broken.
2. you can find in this forum scripts that will give you the last time a report was run but also here it is depend whether the "gather statistics" privilege was given to the running user. so basically there is no way to be absolutely sure about it.
So in general i do not think it is possible to perform what you ask for.
If you like you can select each users report and send it to the users so they will perform the check and delete unneeded reports.

Reports in Production Server

Hi
SAP Application team would like to get a list of any reports in PROD that have not been run in the last 12 months (or reports that have been run in PROD). Plan to use this to identify reports that we can archive.
Is there any method or script to find out reports running in system?
Thanks

site:sdn.sap.com Report transactions not used for the last SAP
I don't frequently teach people how to search but if this is going to help in the future it might be worthy. You can use the site:sdn.sap.com in your google search to find info on a particular site, then select the key words related to your question.
You can also use the Search tool in the upper right corner, but i find google results more comprehensive.
Now, hope that helps..

How to find reporting services are installed in which mode

Hi All,
I'm currently working on migrating SQL server from one datacenter to other. The source environment has reporting services installed and as per the info given by the client they are using reportingservices with sharepoint integrated mode.
When I checked the SQL server reporting server configuration manager, i donot see any databases within the databases option.
From SSMS I can see two databases with names reportserver$DEN2010 and reportserver$DEN2010tempdb, the sql server instance name is DEN2010. What i want to know is these databases are created by using which of the below options ?
1. Install the sharepoint mode integrated mode default configuration.
Will the databases with instance names created by default when you select the above option ?
2. Install but donot configure the report server option.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards, Kranthi
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kranthi_06,
According to your description, you have an environment with reporting services installed, the info given by the client they are using reportingservices with sharepoint integrated mode. In SSMS, you can see two databases with names reportserver$DEN2010 and
reportserver$DEN2010tempdb.
In Native Mode, in the SQL Server Installation Wizard, if we select Install and configure option, the ReportServer database will be created automatically through Setup. If we choose the Install only option, we must use the Reporting Services Configuration
Manager to create the database manually. By default, the database format is ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB. In SharePoint Mode, we need to create at least one Reporting Services service application by using SharePoint Central Administration or Reporting
Services PowerShell cmdlets, then three databases are created for each Reporting Services service application and the database names by default include a guid that represents the service application. The following are example names of the three SharePoint
mode databases:
ReportingService_90a9f37075544f22953c4a62e4a9f370
ReportingService_90a9f37075544f22953c4a62e4a9f370TempDB
ReportingService_90a9f37075544f22953c4a62e4a9f370_Alerting
For SSRS 2008 R2 or early versions, we can identify report server mode using the Reporting Services Configuration Manager. For SSRS 2012 or later versions, Reporting Services Configuration Manager no longer supports Reporting Services SharePoint mode. Configuration
of SharePoint mode is completed using SharePoint Central Administration.

BW Reporting Database in BW

Has anybody ever seen BW Functionality used to create an application which can then be used by business users to identify reports in BW, based on Input Parameters ( eg. Sales Org, Material, Division etc. ) and / or Key Figures ( eg. Shipment Value, Order Quantity etc. ) ? In effect, a report detailing available reports. Any insights would be appreciated !
Thanks

Hello ,
You want to store the report name are the Key Field to identify the reports and other Key Figures are Nav. Attribute. Hmm thinking beyond SAP, sounds very good.
First we cannot keep a Key Figure as a Nav attribute...but as per your requirement...
I just want to share my thoughts....
SAP has already provides various intergration to various 3rd part applications and tools such as BO, Ascential, Microsoft, Java so on and so forth.
Only thing is we need to use or customize its service as per our need.
In you case, we can develop a .Net application, even an web based to fullfill your requirement.
We need to design the DB so that the BW Report name will be the key identifier and Chars and Keyfigures are the table fields.
But its not possible to bring all the keyfigure in SAP, so we have to restrict it to the InfoProvider level.
So we can have all the InfoProviders queries (Can be a multiprovider also).
The structure would look somewhat like this,
PK Field1 .....Field N
PRTID CHARS ... Keyfigures
The main thing is we need to identify the Intergration between these two system to have a communication framework, so as to exchange data.
This is just my view. As you said it requires lots of skill set
Anyway I will keep you posted with any new updates on this topic.
If someone has a view to share on this is always welcome.
Thanks

SharePoint Report viewer control JavaScript API

Hi,
We are using SharePoint report viewer web part to show SSRS reports in SharePoint 2010. We need to perform some HTML manipulation (to avoid scrollbars) after the report has completed loading.
- What is the best way to identify report loaded event in client side JS?
- I have read about client side JS API for report viewer control in ASP .NET. Does SharePoint report viewer webpart have the similat functionality?
Thanks

Infoview Reports timing out, Freezing and other performance issues

Hi all,
New user and been tasked with a project to try and get to the bottom of a problem our users get using infoview on our network. Now i have very little experience in these kind of things and this is more of a research and learn experience at the same time. I have highlighted in bold below what one of my colleagues has sent me in order to research.
You may have noticed Reports timing out, Freezing etc.
We need recognise whatu2019s causing it and any solutions we can apply.
It maybe down to Memory issues, on local machines. Cost of Queries on the databases or even Java versions used when either editing or viewing Webi reports.
Other considerations could be Network issues u2013 Are the problems just site specific
u2022     Identify reports that are causing problems. Is it down to the Queries used and can these be optimised to run faster u2013 Our DBA can assist with this using his Query profiler (ORACLE).
Or reports that have many tabs on, appear to take longer to open/edit u2013 is this Memory or Java.
u2022     Research the web for known issues/fixes,
u2022     Raise Topics on Forums such as BOB and the SAP forum u2013 explaining the above, Can we find out what causes it, which Java versions we should be using, and recommended amount of Memory (RAM) etc.
At the moment im busy just getting a list of reports our users are having a problem with along with any error messages etc. Now in order to get help from some gurus on here i obviously would need to supply more information on our setup so if anyone can help just tell me what information you need and i will get this for you.

Hi,
Here's my best suggestion, use a monitoring tool like Remote Support Component: www.service.sap.com/remote-supportability
you can use this utlity to diagnose your system and all aspects of its latency

How to change Analyzer user password with Administration API?

Hi, I would like to change Analyzer user password with Administration API. Can someone post some sample commands to do the task? I would just like to write an application to change end user's Analyzer password. As I see I would need to do the following: 1. login with admin userid/password 2. execute some method to change password for required userid. I think the input parameter should be userid (of the user I would like to change password) and new password (the new password for the user). 3. logout Can someone post some sample code (commands to execute)? Thanks, grofaty My system: Analyzer Server 7.0.1. Essbase server 7.1 Windows XP SP2 

<blockquote>quote: <hr>Originally posted by: knightrich Hello Mr. Jordan. I would like to exchange some thoughts about "housekeeping" Analyzer reports in preparation for migration from Analyzer 7.0.0.0.01472 to 9.x: ... Did you solved such a problem or do you have an idea if it could be solved with the Admin API methods? ... Migration from 7.00 to 9.x: As we heard last week the "Migration Wizard for Reports" in 9.3 should be able to migrate reports. Do you have experience or more detailed information about that Wizard? Many thanks in advance knigthrich<hr></blockquote> knighrich, I'd like to be more help, but I have no experience with System 9. I did substantial cleanup when we migrated from Analyzer 6 to Analyzer 7.1, and even more cleanup when moving up to 7.2, but our installation is smaller in scale than yours and we didn't need to automate report cleanup. You might be able to get the ownership information you need through the back door, doing a direct query on the database, but simpler might be an export users, at least from 7.0. (This facility probably doesn't exist in system 9; it was dropped in 7.2 in favor of an undocumented API) The export file is an xml file that could easily be parsed to identify reports that have the administrator as user and then a second pass to delete those with otuer ownership as well. As previously suggested, you might be able to get this by a well crafted SQL query against the repository. Procedurally, we have both public reports that have the blessing of management and are widely available, owned by a "public owner", and private reports developed by indivdual users and shared or not. Our team maintains the public reports, but not the private reports. We may be asked to make a previously private report public and take over maintenance of it. I hope that you can find a solution that meets your needs. Certainly a call to customer support to identify a poorly documented feature would be in order.

Can I use a VGA to Mini DVI adapter for a LCD monitor for a macbook??

Hello!
First off, I love this site. Secondly, I have a macbook 10.6.6 and a LCD moniter with a VGA input. I see on the apple site there is the "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter" and "Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter". both seem compatible but I want to pick the right one. any ideas?
Thank you!
Grant

Apple didn't ship a 2.4GHz MacBook until February of 2008. If that's the model you have, or an earlier model, it has a mini-DVI port which would take the mini-DVI to VGA adapter. To confirm, run System Profiler, click on the Hardware heading at the very top of the left-side list, and tell us what the Model Identifier reports.
Regards.

Location error in finding a lost iPad

I've just bought an iPad2, got it al set up and subscribed to the MobilMe search feature as the initial test. the location it came up with was nearly a mile off. Whose error is this and can it be corrected?

Have you got the 3G + wifi version or the wifi only version ? The wifi version relies upon the router that it's connected to correctly identifying/reporting its location.

DVI.I to VGA LCD monitor

Hi Everyone
Is there anything to gain by using the DVI connection on my MSI FX5900XT graphics card
to the VGA port on a DELL 19" LCD Monitor ?
I was just wondering as the card came with an adaptor DVI/VGA so I can use either output on the card.
At the moment I am connected VGA to VGA
cheers

Firefox Developer Edition constantly asks me to update

I am using Firefox Developer Edition 37.0a2 and every start of browser is asks me to update to version 37.0a2. Even when I click to update it is trying to connect to the server and that is only thing that I see.
I did run firefox in safe mode. The result is the same.
I copied my old profile from firefox 35 to firefox 37.0a2. Is there some file with firefox version name or something else is provoking this error?

I think the rebranding was a good idea.
I am all for increased promotion for testing pre release versions it helps users identify & report problems to. It enables users to see new features earlier.
The only disadvantage is the danger of attracting novice or naive users that are going to have problems but not report them or being unable to downgrade to a working release. The Developer Edition sidesteps the last issue as it is a separate install with its own profile, and the name will put off novices.
