Info Broadcasting - Unwanted link in report

We are using the BEX Information Broadcaster to publish web templates as HTML files into Knowledge Management folders on the portal. The finished report has a generated link to an "Overview Page for Precalculation." We do not want the users to be able to access this page (which is created during the broadcasting process).
We can go into the HTML of the finished report and edit the link out but we want to change the Info Broadcasting settings so that the link is not generated during the publishing process.
Any help?

Hi Maryrita,

Hope this helps.

Info Broadcaster Schedule by first N workdays?

1) How can I set up an Info Broadcaster schedule to run and email a report only on the first N workdays of the month?
2) Also need to do a report one only on the last workday of the month.
Thanks,
Geoff

HI,
For that you need to define time for broadcasting settings, as mentioned below:
You define the various times for scheduling Broadcast settings by defining background jobs in the following way:
       1.      Select Define Job from the SAP menu, or use transaction SM36. This brings you to the Define Job screen.
       2.      Use the following naming convention when entering the job name: TP_BROADCASTING_
       3.      Choose Start Condition. This brings you to the Start Date Value dialog box.
       4.      Choose Date/Time. The corresponding fields appear.
       5.      Enter the desired values and highlight Execute Job Periodically.
       6.      Choose Period Values. This brings you to the Period Values dialog box.
       7.      Choose the desired value and save your entries. This brings you back to the Start Date Value dialog box.
The following values are supported for Information Broadcasting:
§         Daily
§         Weekly
§         Monthly
§         Other periods (only based on Day/Week/Month)
       8.      Choose Save. This brings you back to the Define Job screen.
       9.      Choose Step. This brings you to the Create Step 1 dialog box.
   10.      Choose ABAP program and enter the ABAP program RSRD_BROADCAST_FOR_TIMEPOINTi into the Name field. Save your entries.
   11.      Choose Save in the Define Job screen.

Question: using links in report to copy data into form for update

Hi there,
I have a report that selects data from one a table, and i want to populate a form to update the report info and more info that a user will enter into another table. With alot of help I have managed to get the first 3 column fields across by editing the report link, under report attributes -> column link. The values of Item 1 to Item 3 work fine, but how do i get the rest of the info in the other 5 columns across??
regards

I think you're trying to reinvent the htmldb wheel.
Have you tried looking at the wizards that help you do this?
Anyway, as an example, to populate the form using the pk
1: create your items on the page, including the PK
eg P2_EMPNO (PK), P2_ENAME, P2_SAL,P2_DEPTNO
2: create a page process "on load" that runs if the PK item is not null
begin
select ename,sal,deptno
into :P2_ENAME,P2_SAL,P2_DEPNTO
from emp
where empno = :P2_EMPNO
end;
3: You now need to write a process that does an update
after submit
begin
update emp
set ename = :P2_ENAME,
sal = P2_SAL,
deptno = :P2_DEPTNO
where empno = :P2_EMPNO;
end
You need to consider how to handle new rows, optimistic locking and a few other things.
I would suggest that you have a look at the existing form wizard that does all this for you. We can then work around any "limitations" you find.

Link a report

Hi
What is the procedure of link from one report to another report in webi.Is Hyper link perform same action.Can any body explain.
Thanks

Hi,
We can use "Hyperlinks", to link up Reports.
We have two opts to accomplish the same:
1. using OpenDocument() syntax.
2. By Right-clicking on report and establishing link to another report. (BO XI 3.x)
Pls have a look on below thread for additional info...,
Linking 2 web I reports
Hope it should clarifies all doubts.
Thank You!!

Info Broadcaster

Gurus,
We are on BI 7.
I executed the query in BEx analyzer. I got the result as per what I enter on the variable selection screen.
Now I right-click on the result screen ->Info Broadcaster.
I have schedule and run this on the background job. No problem. The reason why I do this (using Info Broadcaster and schedule as background job) is I want to cache the result in memory so that query will have better response time.
My question now is:
1)     Do you know if we should schedule this as background job or should we do it via Process Chain? (I am not sure how we can do this via Process Chain, can you please show me the steps?)
2)     How can schedule and cache all the navigation steps (free characteristic) available on the query via Info Broadcaster?
3)     Do we have other better way to improve the query performance? (I have also Aggregate built).
Please advise, thank you.

You can use program: RSRD_BROADCAST_BATCH to broadcast reports using process chain.
Steps:
1. Create broadcasting settings for the report in Bex Broadcaster. Give a variant name for that settings.
2. Using this program create a program variant in which you need to mention the Variant name of broadcasting settings (created in step 1) for that particular report(s).
3. Add the Program step in process chain with the program variant you have created in step 2.
4. Schedule the process chain.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Samay

Link in report with SSP enabled

Hey everyone, I have a question here involving programatically generated links in reports from the sql query behind them. How do I make a link to the page (from the report's sql query) that will allow me to change the value of a hidden and protected item (P16_PERSON_CONTACT_ID) without having APEX Session State Protection get angry at me and still protect me from having the user muck with the URL?

David,
Well bind variables are more performant and safer to use in queries. It shouldn't really be a debate on when to use them, you always use them when you can. Here's a quick break down (not a complete list, and should probably be expanded, but should get you going)...
Use bind variable syntax when you're referencing an item:
1. In a report query
2. In PL/SQL code that is stored in the application (as a page level process for example)
Use substitution variable syntax when you're referencing an item:
1. Outside of SQL and PL/SQL but still need the value - this is not always an option (in the HTML Header region of a page or title of a region for example)
Use V and NV functions when you're referencing an item:
1. In PL/SQL code stored outside the application (in a package for example)

Link in Report does not work when run on Citrix

Hello,
we use Crystal Reports (v11) for creating Reports.
Data is based on our CRM system "SuperOffice".
We have several reports and what we did is to add a column that includes a link to SuperOffice.
For example - if I have a list of contacts as a report, then every line has a link to SuperOffice.
If I click this link, the contact in SuperOffice gets open.
This works on lokal pc installations.
But is doesn't work on a citrix server.
If I click the link - nothing happens.
Is that a known problem or does anyone have any ideas for that?
Are there any known problems with links in reports on citrix servers?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Tony

Hi Don,
thank you for fast response.
That is a good advice. We will check that.
The main question is, to which folders etc. does CR needs access?
To explain the situation better: To run the reports we use Crystal Reports Runtime (Version 11.1.1883).
Do you (or anyone else in these forum) know where we could get information about which kinds of access CR Runtime needs to handle with these links?
Regards,
Tony

"edit" link from report to form does not show values

I created a report and an attached form on two different pages. The report is a query combining two tables with outer joins. When I click on the "edit" button on the report, I get forwarded to the form page.
My problem: When I get forwarded to the forms page, I get an empty form, and not the data from the column as expected. The "edit" button behaves more like the "create" button. Anybody an idea what I could change to be able to edit the column data?
Thank you.

I've met the similar problem with previous releases (1.5.0 and 1.5.1) without any objective reason.
As I suggests, sometimes HTMLDB lost current session state. When this occurs, ALL links from reports to it's forms does not transit primary keys. I've just completed application development and I've met this behaviour every months.
As a workaround I found folowwjing process:
Come into administration tab, selet "Report with option to purge current session state". When I purge current session state and re-login to application, all report-form links will start to work.
I don't know, what is the issue, but I met it so soon on my local HTMLDB environment.

Pass parameter from page link to report

How can I pass 3 parameter values from a link on one page to a report or CrystalReportViewer. Report is a CR/VS 2005 web report in C# Parameter fields in the report are: CampaignID BeginDate EndDate So say link page URL looks like this: <a href="http://localhost/reports/campaign_report/default.aspx?CampaignID=61325&BeginDate=1/1/2006&EndDate=1/2/2006" target="_blank" title="http://localhost/reports/campaign_report/default.aspx?CampaignID=61325&BeginDate=1/1/2006&EndDate=1/2/2006">http://localhost/reports/campaign_report/default.aspx?CampaignID=61325&BeginDate=1/1/2006&EndDate=1/2/2006</a> and I want to pass these values to the report and bypass the Parameter Prompt Page.When i run this link the report viewer page says "missing parameters"Do I need to add something to the default.aspx.cs page? -- protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { Parameter.Field1 = (CampaignID); Parameter.Value1 = Request.QueryString("CampaignID"); ...?? } --
 Any help would be greatly appreciated? Thank you, Jason 

Â Hi Jason
Â You are correct.Â The Viewer object will not automatically look at the URL and try to assign the values.Â You need to grab these values from the URL and properly assign them to the parameter objects.

Sir AG,
Thanks a lot for replying and spending your valuable time for my problem.
Sir, I just want to put this in your knowledge that my application is web based application and I am calling these reports through web forms i.e. of ASP.NET coded in vb from .aspx.vb files.
So as per the code I have attached, I have this
Option Explicit On
Imports CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine
Imports CrystalDecisions.Shared
Next for ReportDocument Object:
Dim fileName As String = "Reports\" & ReportID & ".rpt"
        Dim reportPath As String = Server.MapPath(fileName)
        myRepDoc = New ReportDocument()
        myRepDoc.Load(reportPath)
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = myRepDoc
Above is the code used by me in Page_Init and I have already tested it from Page_Load. I have got few suggestions from this forum that I should put this code in Page_Init only.
Lastly:
The database connectivity code:
Dim myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo = New ConnectionInfo()
        If Session("reportConnectionInfo") IsNot Nothing Then
            Dim ConnInforArrList As ArrayList = DirectCast(Session("reportConnectionInfo"), ArrayList)
            myConnectionInfo.ServerName = ConnInforArrList(0)
            myConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = ConnInforArrList(1)
            myConnectionInfo.UserID = ConnInforArrList(2)
            myConnectionInfo.Password = ConnInforArrList(3)
        Else
            lblMessage.ForeColor = Drawing.Color.Red
            lblMessage.Text = "Session is off. Please Relogin to See the Report."
        End If
        SetDBLogonForReport(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc)
        SetDBLogonForSubreports(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc)
SetDBLogonForReport(myConnectionInfo, myRepDoc)
Private Sub SetDBLogonForReport(ByVal myConnectionInfo As ConnectionInfo, ByVal myReportDocument As ReportDocument)
        Dim myTables As Tables = myReportDocument.Database.Tables
        For Each myTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table In myTables
            Dim myTableLogonInfo As TableLogOnInfo = myTable.LogOnInfo
            myTableLogonInfo.ConnectionInfo = myConnectionInfo
            myTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(myTableLogonInfo)
        Next
    End Sub
This code I have got from a sample of the forum itself.
Sir, after all these effort and the unchecking of option "Save Data with Report" on calling the reports from my forms it is showing blank report. No data from the database is coming form the database.
I have uncheked the option "Save Data with Reports" to get the updated data each time the report has been called but now the status is that nothing is coming.
Thanks again for you precious and valuable effort to help me but the my problem is unsolved, So sir please if you could put an eye on it and help me out to get rid of this problem, I will be very thankful to you for your kind help.
Thanks and regards
Mushtaque

Unwanted link appears in paragraphs - AP div issue?

Hello. I am using cs4 on Macbook Pro (version 10.6.8) and develping the site below.
http://www.gibbstowndentistry.com/
If you are using Firefox you may not see it, but if you are on Safari, you can see there is a link for whole paragraph in editable region (underlined). Still there is a link in Firefox, you just cannot see it (no underline)
The link is going to the box called "patient account access" which suppose to be only from the blue button called "Patinet Login" on the right side.
First 2 categories on Navi bar (Home & Our office) got this unwanted link, but other 3 categories (Dental Service, Dental Health, Contact Us) seem OK.
For example:
http://www.gibbstowndentistry.com/childrens_dentistry.html
Each category has a separate template, I so template1, 2 are not right, but other 3 are OK.
I just cannot find why this happens. If I have to I will make new pages, but I would like to know the reason. Maybe APdiv issue?
If someone can teach me why, I will be really appreciate it. Thank you.

For the first issue with links on line 127 of your code you have an "a" tag that is not closed (missing </a>).
For the second issue you may need to explain this a bit more. And I would also recommend reading up on CSS ( http://www.w3schools.com/css/ ). You are using <div align="center"> which is deprecated code when you should just be editing the Spry CSS and adding "text-align:center;" to the "ul.MenuBarHorizontal a" CSS code ( documentation - http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Spry/SDG/help.html?content=WS895F3A6D-6D73-42ef-B568-3D04A BD2F171.html ).

Broadcast online link by Email : How to remove automatically inserted text

Hello all.
It's been a month I've been working on broadcasting, and I am starting to get skilled on it , or at least, I am starting to get very precise needs ...
I am broadcasting email with online link inserted into it.
At the end of the mail body, SAP inserts the online link (which makes sense ...), on which you have no control, but also inserts Broadcasting administration link, saying (in french) :
"Le lien suivant permet à l'expéditeur de cet e-mail ou à un administrateur de diffusion de modifier la liste des destinataires : http://"
I heard you could remove it, but how ?
Did you heard about it ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi ,
Are you trying to change the language which user can understand ?? If this being the case in the receipent tab page of information broadcasting , there is a checkbox "User specific" , it takes user profile data into account and accordingly try to translate data into language which user understands.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Mr Kapadia
