Inserting additional parameters in a report

Hi!
I've got some problems generating pdf-reports with data originating from Labview.
I would like to pass some additional info (parameters and so on) along
with experimental data. I already studied some examples provided by NI
but didn't really make sense of it.
If I write a simple text in Diadem the box will be automatically named
"Text23" or something like it. Some examples suggest that it's
possible to change the entry of this text box by passing an 2-dim Array
of strings to the Report-Express-VI in Labview. But I guess this
method is unstable if the layout file changes. It also seems rather
complicated and i'd prefer to name my text boxes myself since I've got
quite a lot of parameters.
Could anybody describe how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Hello Adamais,
Using the DIAdem report wizard with a custom layout/template in LabVIEW, the object names will automatically be propagated to the 'report objects' field in the wizard. Dropping any kind of object on the report form in DIAdem, a name will be assigned to the object (such as 'Text1', as you already mentioned). Since there is no direct way of changing these names (lables, object names) in DIAdem, the object names can't be changed in the report wizard as well.
The only way to assign an object name to the object is through means of a VBScript. Thus if you have collected all parameters in LabVIEW one could call a script that creates all the objects on the form. This ensures, that all parameters that will be given to DIAdem are already available with the report.
DIAdem developers are probably thinking about the implementation of this feature in future releases, but one can't guarantee.
Hope this helps,
Regards,

How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1

Hi,
I wanna ask about How to add/create additional page in Crystal Report Layout SAP B1 ?
I want when user print Purchase Order then on last page also print some page like Penalty Clause etc.
Pls help me to find the solution.
Br,
Thomas Marsetyo

Hi,
In your report footer, set it to create a new page before it is printed (In 'Section Expert', select the Report Footer -> 'Paging' tab -> Check 'New Page Before' checkbox). Throw your Terms & Conditions into the Report Footer section.
If you already have a Report Footer that you want to keep, just split the footer into two sections (Right-click the Report Footer section -> 'Insert Section Below') and follow the same procedure for the newly created section.

Passing multiple parameters between two report portlets on the same page

Hi,
I want to pass multiple parameters between two report portlets on the same page.
I have been succussful passing a single parameter between two portlets. The
following are the steps :
(1) Created first report based on the query
SELECT htf.anchor('http://192.168.0.84:7778/servlet/page?&_pageid=97&_dad=portal30&_schema=portal30&_mode=3&dept_code='||DEPTNO,DEPTNO) Department, ename FROM EMP;
(2) Created 2nd report
select * from EMP where DEPTNO = :dept_code
(3) Added pl/sql code before display page on the 2nd report
portal30.wwv_name_value.replace_value(
l_arg_names, l_arg_values,
p_reference_path||'.dept_code',portal30.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(nvl(g
et_value('dept_code'),10)));
(4) Created a page and added these reports as portlets.
Sofar it works fine for one parameter (deptno) . Now I want to add one more
parameter say empno to my first report query and would like to pass both the
parameters deptno and empno to the 2nd report. Please tell me how to pass multiple parameters ?
Thanks
Asim

Hi,
You will have to do the same thing
The select will be like this
SELECT htf.anchor('http://toolsweb.us.oracle.com:2000/servlet/page?_pageid=97&_dad=mb&_schema=mybugs&_mode=3&dept_code='||DEPTNO||'&empno='||empno,DEPTNO) Department,ename
FROM EMP
In the additional plsql code do the same for empno like this
mybugs.wwv_name_value.replace_value(l_arg_names,l_arg_values, p_reference_path||'.dept_code',mybugs.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(nvl(get_value('dept_code'),10)));
mybugs.wwv_name_value.replace_value(l_arg_names,l_arg_values, p_reference_path||'.empno',mybugs.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2(get_value('empno')));
Thanks,

I can not insert a field in ANY report . . .

Post Author: Chass
CA Forum: General
I've searched around a bit about this. I can't find anything about anyone who had the same problem.
I was reporting along and suddenly CR v8.5 wouldn't let me insert a field anymore. I can't insert a field on a new or old report from the field exporer. I drag the field to the area of the report that I want to drop it and it stays a black circle with a line through it. It won't allow me to insert any field in any report.
I tested this on my coworkers computer and his is working fine. Same version, same report, same field.
What would cause my install of CR to stop allowing insertion of fields?
Thanks in advance . . .

Challenge passing parameters to discoverer report

Hello everyone, I am following the instructions on this website - http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com/2008/11/metalink-note-304192.html
Basically, we want to use parameters for discoverer reports, especially date parameters because of some performance issues we have been having with discoverer.
Here is the process I am using. Please correct me if I am doing anythinng wrong.
1. Login to apps schema and create context
CREATE OR REPLACE CONTEXT DISCO_CONTEXT
USING EUL4_US.DISCO_PKG
2. Login to eul4_us schema and create package
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE DISCO_PKG
AS
FUNCTION set_context(p_name VARCHAR2,
p_value VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2;
FUNCTION show_context(p_name VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2;
END disco_pkg;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY DISCO_PKG
AS
FUNCTION set_context(p_name VARCHAR2,
p_value VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
dbms_session.set_context('DISCO_CONTEXT', p_name, p_value);
RETURN p_value;
END set_context;
FUNCTION show_context(p_name VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
RETURN SYS_CONTEXT('DISCO_CONTEXT', p_name);
END show_context;
END disco_pkg;
Then grant access to apps
GRANT ALL ON DISCO_PKG TO APPS;
Then import the functions show_context and set_context into discoverer
3. Go back to apps schema and create synonym
CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM DISCO_PKG FOR EUL4_US.DISCO_PKG;
4. Create discoverer custom folder using the following query:
SELECT DISTINCT
pet.run_result_id
,papf.employee_number
FROM
per_all_people_f papf,
--hr_lookups hl,*
per_all_assignments_f paaf,
hr_all_organization_units haou,
per_jobs pj,
per_grades pg,
pay_people_groups ppg,
--per_addresses pa,*
--hr_locations_all hla,*
per_positions pps,
per_people_f ppf,
pay_assignment_actions paa,
pay_payroll_actions ppa,
PAY_RUN_RESULTS_V pet,
--pay_element_types_v1 pet,
pay_all_payrolls_f papaf
WHERE
papf.person_id=paaf.person_id
AND papf.employee_number=ppf.employee_number
AND paaf.organization_id=haou.organization_id
AND paaf.job_id=pj.job_id(+)
AND paaf.grade_id=pg.grade_id(+)
AND paaf.people_group_id=ppg.people_group_id(+)
AND paaf.position_id=pps.position_id(+)
AND paaf.business_group_id=0
AND paa.assignment_id = paaf.assignment_id
AND paa.payroll_action_id = ppa.payroll_action_id
AND paa.assignment_action_id=pet.assignment_action_id
AND paaf.payroll_id=papaf.payroll_id
AND ppa.effective_date BETWEEN paaf.effective_start_date AND paaf.effective_end_date
AND ppa.effective_date BETWEEN papf.effective_start_date AND papf.effective_end_date
AND ppa.action_type ='R'
AND ppa.action_status = 'C'
AND paaf.assignment_type = 'E'
AND paaf.primary_flag = 'Y'
AND haou.business_group_id=0
AND ppa.effective_date = TO_DATE(SYS_CONTEXT('DISCO_CONTEXT','PAYROLL_DATE'))
5. Create a parameter called Payroll Date. Default value is set to NULL and the "Create Condition" checkbox is unchecked.
6. Create a calculation
SET_CONTEXT('PAYROLL_DATE', TO_CHAR(:Payroll Date))
And that's it.
The thing is, this doesn't work for me.
But for the same query, if I enter the date value I am substituting, values show up. So it seems for some reason, the context value probably isn't being set or thereabouts.
I have tried setting the context manually in a TOAD session using:
declare
v_ret varchar2(50);
begin
--dbms_session.set_context('DISCO_CONTEXT', 'PAYROLL_DATE', '31-MAR-2010');
v_ret := disco_pkg.set_context('PAYROLL_DATE', '01-MAR-2010');
dbms_output.put_line(v_ret);
end;
And afterwards run the query:
select sys_context('DISCO_CONTEXT', 'PAYROLL_DATE') from dual
And results do show up here. So I'm wondering what could be wrong.
Please help.

Hi ,
Are you saying I should create a new workbook that is not based on my custom folder for setting and showing the context value? You don't need to create a new workbook, you can just create a new worksheet in your report workbook, but you will need two sheets to use contexts. The sheet that sets the contexts should not be based on your custom folder, but on a folder that returns a single row. You cannot set and check contexts in a single SQL statement, so you have to have 2 worksheets.
You can default the contexts using a trigger or initialisation SQL so that the user only has to set the contexts if they are not using the defaults.

How do I add a click button to insert additional pages?

I am creating a field survey form that starts with a site page (only one), page two is a structure page, and page three is the room page.
I want the users to be able to insert additional structure and room pages as necessary so that each form will have a page for the number of structures and rooms at the site.
Site/
-Structure 1
-Structure 2
-Room 1
-Room 2
-Room 3
The room pages have fields to identify the structures they go to.
I just need a way to click and insert a new structure or room page in the form.

Then you will have to design the form to be dynamic. This will allow you to add subforms dynamically as required. There is a good example of this that is shipped with the product. Look at the Purchase Order sample in your Designer install directory:
EN\Samples\Forms\Purchase Order\Dynamic Interactive\Forms
In that case the repeating part of the form is a detail line in a table but the same concept applies.

How does one pass import parameters to a report within a method?

Hello all,
Well how does one pass import parameters to a report which is within a method ...end method.
for example :
method 123
SUBMIT reportname using selection '1000'
endmethod .
Here we need to pass values into the selection screen and run the report for those values.
The values are say 'ABC' ( tablename "DEF" and field name "HIJ" ).
I hope the question is clear, awaiting your response
Thanks and Regards,
Sandeep.

Go to SE24
Parameters: Give the Parameter name, Typing method is "Type" is the domain type that u are selecting, say for e.g : Parameter is "P_CONT" , its associated type "CHAR32" etc
For Select Options: Parameter name say "S_CUST", Type"importing". For this you need to give an associated type which must be created as "TABLE TYPE " in SE11. That table type needs to have a "LINE TYPE" .
LINE TYPE is a Structure created with components "SIGN, OPTION, LOW & HIGH" for select-Options.
NOTE: for a Table type related to Customer data fields "say KUNNR", the line type created must have the Component Type and data Type corresponding to the Data Element associated with "KUNNR" ;i.e: "CHAR" etc.
See if this is clear to you or revert back in case of any Confusion.

OBIEE 11G - Issue passing parameters between two reports

Hi folks,
I am struggling to pass parameters between two reports in OBIEE 11G.
My first report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type (VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
My second report contains the following columns: Rolling Year Type(VCHAR), Year(VCHAR), Month(VCHAR), Category(VCHAR), Cost(Double).
My requirement is to pass the Rolling Year Type, Year and Month values from report 1 to report 2.
On the Month column properties of report 1, I have created an Action Link called 'Drill to Category'. I have clicked on 'Navigate to BI Content' and selected Report 2.
Then on Report 2, I have included three filters: Rolling Year Type is prompted, Year is prompted, Month is promted.
When I run the report I always get the following error:
The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters and/or selections that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Analysis Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below.
When I check the cursor cache, the filter values are correct. Does anybody have any idea why Report 2 does not display?
When I remove the Month filter, the report works correctly.
I have since changed the third filter to be Month No and although Report 2 does display, it does not pick up the filter on the Month No.
I initially thought this may have been a caching issue and so I have disabled BI Server Cache but this does not fix my problem.
This was never an issue on OBIEE 10G as I found it very easy to navigate between two requests.
Has anyone else experienced problems with passing parameters between two request in 11G?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks
Gavin

Hi,
I once tried this kind of requirement(with dashboard prompts though) and hit at similar issue. I later found out that the problem is with the space in the parameter values. Can you please let me know, if the same is the case with you?
Suppose the parameter passed is "Jan 2010", but the report on the destination takes the value as "Jan" & "2010". Yes, it kind of split the parameter value to two based on space. I think we can notice the filters the destination report got, by enabling filter view.
In this case, since you pass only value at a time, could you try placing the parameter value anyway in double quotes? I think the Server then will understand it as one value.
Thank you,
Dhar

"Date / Date Time" type parameters in crystal reports 2008

i am using parameters in crystal report to select records. one of the parameters is "From Date" of type Date Time.
i mapped this parameter to a field "DateIn" of type smalldatetime in my sql table.
Now, when i open the report it asks for "From Date" but b y default it sets the time to current time so i have to change it to 00:00:00 manually. i want it to show 00:00:00 by default. which means i don't want time here.
For this if i select the datatype of parameter "From Date" as Date only then i am not able to map it to the "DateIn" field of the sql table.
Please help me out of this.

Great !!!
this is working.
i found another way, i changed the datatype of parameter to Date and click ok and everything was good, it doesn't require any conversion to date time.
Thank You so much. All Points You.

Possibility to transfer additional parameters in outbound XML message

Hi,
is there any possibility to transfer additional parameters in outbound XML message using (BADI: BBP_SAPXML1_OUT_BADI).
Additional parameters are,
1. Communication Method for the Business Partner
2. R/3 Vendor # & logical system for Business Partner
3. Relationship between Business Partner Number and R/3 Vendor Number is BP GUID.
How can we extended the structure in the BADI.
Please give me qucik response.
Thanks & Regards.
Surya

Look for structure which the interface parameters are referring, there you should see some dummy structures referring to INCL_EEW* for e.g. in PO header INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_SSF_PO. Add additional fields and pass the data accordingly.

Using Additional parameters in file receiver

Hello all,
I'm trying to use additional parameters the following way:
In my receiver adapter:
File Name Scheme : %var%.txt
Additional Parameters:
%var% | myvalue
Checked "Set Adapter Specific Message Attributes" and "FileName" in both sender and receiver adapters.
XI doen't pay attention to my variable and outputs the file name as is (exactly as the original name).
Can anyone please help me solve the problem?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
since you are using both variable substitution & Set Adapter Specific Message Attributes, the second one has highest preference. So only Adapter Specific Message Attribute works in this case.
So use either Variable Substitution (or) Set Adapter Specific Message Attributes according to your scenario requirement.

Additional Lead Column in Report painter

Hi Gurus
Please guide me how to add an additional Lead column in Report painter
Thanks
Hiren

Hi HIren,
There can be only one lead column in report painter.
However within the one lead column you can identify more than one characteristic - e.g. cost center and cost element. You can then identify that both characteristics should be exploded.
If you go Edit > Rows > Explode, you have the opportunity of identifying which characteristic takes presidence over the other, and how they expand. So in this example, Cost center will be 1 and cost element will be 2.
The output will be dependant upon your report layout, but you should have the layout so that you have:
Cost Center A:
- Cost Element A
- Cost Element B:
- Cost Element C:
Cost Center B:
- Cost Element A:
- Cost Element B:
- Cost Element C:
And to distinguish the cost centers from the cost elements, you can format the cost center row "Color for Totals"

Gaurav
