Issue in bi pub report--rendering 0.00 value when no value is available

Hi all,
I have a report built in Pivot table. Data will be dynamic and data has numbers in it for which I gave 0.00% as Number format. But the issue is, when there is no data, the report is showing 0.00% in the cells. Users are expecting blank cells when there is no data. How could I achieve this.
Any suggestion please..
Thanks in Advance.

Report Rendering (Print & PDF) trashes report that looks fine on screen

Since installing SQL Server 2012 SP2 CU3 (11.0.5556) a number of reports look fine on screen but when printed or exported to PDF the format is totally altered so that either many blank lines are inserted between lines, or lines are squashed together. It
doesn't affect all reports. Reports (both affected and not affected) use Tablix with both Row Groups and Column Groups. There is no obvious consistency between those reports that are affected.
All of our SQL Server instances are hosted on VM-Ware virtual servers.
I've raised the issue via Microsoft Connect: https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/1063641/report-rendering-print-pdf-trashes-report-that-looks-fine-on-screen
Any thoughts or workarounds? Is this a bug?
Thanks!

View any report by presing button not when the page rendered by default

hi all,
i am new in apex and i need in help to solve the below issue:
the reports in apex are shown when the page called by default,
i want that the report will show only when i press any button to show it not when the page requested.
hope i can get some solutions here.
regards
adnan

Position the button ("Go", for example) in a region that always appear by default.
Your report should be in a different region, but conditionally renders only when button Go is pressed (aka, request triggered by the button is activated)... or only when some parameter is not blank, whatever the condition you want to create.

Issue with Exceptions in Reporting

Hi BW Gurus,
            I am still new to BW, Like I have a issue with exceptions in reporting.
            Let me explain clearly, I created a report which gives me two MRP values they are for example V1 and PD(there other MRP types but I am focusing only this two). Here I can see in my report those two values and the overall result of all MRP types (they are 6 different types). My report looks like this for examply
   V1                  46,782,434(this are rough figures)
   PD                  56,232,453
   Overall Result      102,434,111
        Here my requirement is I need to find this overall result like accroding to thresold values this overall result shows RED,YELLOW,GREEN.
        I have given threshold values in exceptions. like
   0           -
> 45,000,000(Red)
   45,000,001 -
> 65,000,000 (Yellow)
   65,000,001 -
> 500,000,000 (Green)
       But according to this values I should get Red( Overall Result), I cant see any change in the overall result.
       Please can some one give advice how to reflect this threshold values in my report.Or I have to select any other options in exceptions.
       Thanks in advance.

Not really possible with BEx functions, but if you provide a workbook to users you can just type in this information in a non-Bex cell and save the workbook.
Else you can try to name your exception such that it shows the value ranges. Then in the report, from the toolbar Layout > Display Exceptions.
Hope this helps...

Issue in the standard report - S_ALR_87012357 outcome result

Dear Friends,
I am facing issues in the standard report S_ALR_87012357 "Advance Return on tax Sales/Purchases" where I am trying to pull the tax posting report for the current period.Here I would like to see the tax postings which are done with the custom t code ZFB01L (mass upload of data) which is the replica of FB01L. The issue here I see is, any postings done via custom t code with tax code does not appear in the standard report t code S_ALR_87012357. Please advice whether is there any alternative transaction code or program where in I can get all tax postings similar to this standard report or do we have to create a custom t code to get such report with the help of ABAPer.
Kindly advice.
Regards,
Siri

Dear expert
Example :
In Italy, you are required to register all you customer and vendor invoices about your company's sales and purchase activities within the country, in the European Union, or outside the European Union. According to the legal requirements, you need to create value-added tax (VAT) reports based on your customer and vendor invoices on a monthly basis. Depending on the size of your company, you can create the tax reports on a quarterly basis as well.
You can use the Advance Return for Tax on Sales/Purchases (RFUMSV00) program to create tax reports (tax books) according to VAT types. It enables you to maintain your VAT registers per VAT types. You can create separate input and output tax reports about your sales/purchases activities in the country, in the European Union, or outside the European Union according to VAT types. The program enables you to save your reports with a report number (for example: 1/2008, 2/2008), and it generates a summary per VAT code at the end of the report. The program ensures the correct progressive page numbering of tax reports and calculates the debit and credit balance for the given VAT type. You can carry forward the credit balance to the following month.
SE38 :RFUMSV00 =S_ALR_87012357
PATH
Accounting ® Financial Accounting ® General Ledger ® Reporting ® Tax Reports ® General ® Advance Return for Tax on Sales/Purchases ® Advance Return for Tax on Sales/Purchases.

Hi Kumar,
If this is happening with all the reports then this issue seems to be due to firewall or security settings of Solaris OS.
Please try to lower down the security level in solaris and test for the issue.

Strange issue with WEBI schedule Report

Hi All,
I have a strange issue with schedule WEBI reports, a schedule report runs for Hours , i reschedule it again by deleting the instance and the schedule report never got succeed even after running for hours.
Any idea???
regards

Hi Manoj,
1. Try to put some filters in the report and then run the report. if it takes less time, then probably your query is fetching very large data.
2. MDX query error may be the reason , this error come when a query runs endless, please try running the query 2-3 times, or when load on server is less.
Hope this will help,
Anamika.

Issues with BI publisher report in dashboard

Hello all,
I got some issues about BI publisher reports in a dashboard.
I use a dashboard prompt in combination with a BIP report.
1.) I don't want to see the publisher control bar in my dashboard. Now you can't view the report anymore after using the dashboard prompt. Because it says you have to press the view button which is on the publisher control bar.
So when I add the bar. Then I have first to press on go in the dashboard prompt and after that I have to press on view in the publisher control bar.
2.) When I open my dashboard I see a scroll bar in my BIP report. Now when I use the dashboard prompt, it disappears. So I can't view the entire report anymore
3.) I like to develop in english, but the test must be in dutch. Now I have a english dashboard with a dutch control bar. Also logging in to BIP in english and then navigating to analytics will not help.
4.) I can't use I-bots on BI publisher reports, or can I?
5.) This is not really an issue, but more like a problem but I want that users can view the BIP report on the dashboard only in HTML, but I want that they only can export to excel, is this possible?
Hoping for some answers ;)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Venkat,
Thanks for your quick respond.
1.) Auto Run is enabled. And the report runs automatically as well. But then it ignores the dashboard prompt (as a regular report would do as well). But when I choose some values in the prompt and then press go. Then it says I have to press on view as well.
2.) no that is not the case. My report is so big that it always need a scroll bar ;) also adjusting the size settings in the dashboard doesn't help. The only occurs when viewing in HTML, when previewing in excel or RTF it all just work fine.
3.) true, but ow well this is the least importetant one ;) so if this doesn't work, than it doesn't work ;)
4.) Ok, I will have a look on that.
5.) I did enabled HTML and EXCEL outputs in my BIP report. But when the first point is working, then I don't want to see the control bar anymore and I want to have the output on the dashboard in HTML and then I want to build a button, or a link or something that exports the request to excel. Is that possible?

Issue in Project Performance Report

Hi,
I'm facing several issues in Project Performance Report (PPR), although the setups seem to be correct.
The Project has a scheduled start date of 02-Apr-12 and end date 14-Nov-13. The transaction start date is 31-Mar-12 and end date is 14-Nov-13.
We entered some transactions (preapproved batches) for the dates 31-Mar-12, 01-Apr-12 and 6-May-12.
Ran the cost distribution program, viewed that the exp items are cost distributed.
Then ran the Update Project Resource and Base Summaries Data program followed by the Update Project Performance Data but the PPR page did not show the actual data.
Post that ran the Refresh programs and actual cost data was visible in the Task Summary and Resource Summary pages of PPR but not in the main page.
Ran the Refresh programs again and now the actual cost data is displayed in the main page but in the Task Summary and Resource Summary pages the actual cost has got doubled.
So two issues:
1. Why it did not populate the actual data once we ran the Update programs?
2. Why has the amounts got doubled in some pages?
This is very critical. Any insights would be of great help. This is happening for a few projects. I must say the behaviour of the PPR programs is very inconsistent. You never know what to expect.

Sri

Apex+Cocoon PDF Printing issue on printing Large Reports

Hello All,
I m in a real hard situation with PDF printing in apex.. The application manages to push the report into PDF with lesser record reports but for Large reports, it says File corrupted when i open the downloaded PDF file..
I use Apex+Coocoon and fop printing. I found from some forums as this issue was with Java Heap size being lesser and asked me to increase the size.. so i increased the size from 128MB to 1024MB and my server settings allows me to set 1550MB at the maximum..
If i cross this limit the TOMCAT server stops from running...
But all of the above was not much fruitful, since it throws again the same errors if report rows crosses 6000+ rows, can any one help me out, do i need to check any other settings to make my large reports printable in PDF.
My application needs to print around *20000+ rows each report may have at least 20 columns* to get printed...
Much awaited for your assistance

Matt,
On this note, it probably also makes sense to mention that with APEX 3.1 we introduce a PL/SQL API that gives you much broader control over what is generated how and the method it's made available to the client. You'll get the ability to retrieve the PDF in a BLOB directly on the server, store in your own tables for later download or send via email attachment. You'll also get the ability to write your own download process using after-submit page processes. And you can have combinations of your own XML with your own stylesheets, or combine report queries with customer stylesheets at runtime, or just simply retrieve the results of pre-defined report queries / report layouts in BLOBs.
I'll talk about this much more on my Blog once 3.1 is out, and will provide whitepapers, how-to's etc

Crystal Reports prompt issue on export: "The report you requested requires further information"

I have searched through forums for a solution but none seem to work for me.
I have an ASP Webform/MySql application which displays Crystal Reports.
The ones which do not require a user to enter a parameter display fine and I am able to click on export on the CR toolbar and download, e.g. .pdf format.
On the report that require a user to enter a parameter, the report renders fine but when I click on the export button, i get the prompt:

Query on Performance issues relating to a report

Hi Group,
I have an issue while running a report which was creating Business Partners for (both Company and the Contact person and as well as relationship b/w them).
This report was having BAPI( for creating Business Partners ) and also for creating relationships and the report was taking too much of response time.
I was thinking it to be the reason for calling BAPIs. But, I want to know from you that is that the real cause or it might be the other cause.
So please kindly let me know inputs from your side on this.
thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu.

Hi
I think it's always better to use the provided standard fm's and bapi's to make changes to the data in the system instead of directly placing them in the tables.
One thing you can do is try to use parallel processing. E.g 10.000 BP's should be created. In that case schedule 4 jobs to create the Bp's instead of 1 job creating the whole lot.
Kind regards, Rob Dielemans

Default date parameters to trunc(sysdate,'IW') in BI Pub Reports 11G

Hi All,
I have a requirement to default the date parameters in the BI Pub Report to the following when the reprot is scheduled to run.
Start Date - Trunc(sysdate,'IW') - 8
End date - Trunc(sysdate,'IW') - 2
Steps followed:
1. I have created 2 Date parameters in the data model as :P_START_DATE and :P_END_DATE.
2. Created one data set with the query select Trunc(sysdate,'IW') - 8 "P_START_DATE" , Trunc(sysdate,'IW') - 2 "P_END_DATE
I have used the same names for the dates so that they are referenced, but its not working as expected.
Is there any other step i need to follow so that when i run the report from the dashboard, these default values populate which should be editable also.
Can anyone please help.
Thanks &Regards
Geetha

Hi Neeraj
Not null parameters are not supported in the current release. All you could do it either default a value in there for the user - check the doc for details. Or drop a msg into the report if that value was null and not return any data. The second is not great I admit :0)

Issue in MS Word report but not in PDF report

Gurus -
I am developing a BI Pub report and the results can be in PDF or Word, the users decide. For one field, NOTES, if there is no data, I don't want a blank space. I have an IF before my NOTES field, <?if:not(NOTES)?>, and it works fine when I'm displaying the results as a PDF. But when I display the results in Word, I see an blank line.
Any thoughts??
Thanks!!
