Issue with Varchar2 field conversion for report output generated in EXCEL

Hello All,
I have an unique problem with one of my new reports for the User. The user wants the report output generated in excel data only(delimited data) format *(reports builder 10g)* .
Everything was fine until i encountered this problem, there was this field which has unique ID's(alphanumeric and numeric), when i tried to run the report and generate output in Excel the numeric ID's say for example *(41593497999679354429)* is converted in excel and displayed like *(2.5881E+19)* and after format cells in excel it displays *(41593497999679300000).*
The issue is only with 20 digits numeric ID's , if i append any special character to the end say '#' or '..' it shows the exact value along with the appended character. But the user insist they need only the value that is in the table. I am finding it hard to figure out, if any one of you have encountered the same issue or if any of you have any suggestions to overcome this excel conversion thing please do advice me.
Thanks in advance :)

Thanks for you response, but i already tried what you suggested, instead of appending single quote in front of ID, i did at the end prior with '#', it preserves the value if i add any character to the id but the appended value shows up too :(.
Well, i just got the solution and it did work, thanks to [Brian Hill|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=651632] for the post, i did what exactly he said and it worked. I was so very happy and wanted to share with everyone.

Can you please suggest some solution.

Hello -
If there is no data for charecteristic values,. # and not assigned will be dispalyed in the report.
Its BW funcnality,.
If you would like to remove the # values in BEX you have to go for a Macro,.
If in WAD you have to eliminate the first values in the repactive web item.

Issue with saving SAP& variant for report as per OSS note 1885125

Hi,
I'm implementing OSS note 1885125 and it instructs me to adjust several SAP& variants:
The variants of the report RSUSR070 (SAP&_AUTH, SAP&_CHANGE, SAP&_PROFIL, SAP&_STANDARD,
SAP&_TRANSAKT, SAP&_VALUES)
must be adjusted.
Call transaction SE38 for the report RSUSR070 in the client 000. Change the values for the relevant
variants. On the selection screen, choose "+" ("All Selections" (Ctrl+F7)):
l Select the "All Roles Irrespective of User Assignment" radio button.
For the variant SAP&_BENU, you must select the "With Valid Assignment Of" radio button.
If the variants are protected, run the report RSVARENT for each variant."
Now I'm in client 000 and I can unprotect the variants with report RSVARENT, but then SAP tells me that SAP& is the SAP name space, and that I need to create new variants. So it doesn't let me save these. The whole point of the OSS note requesting the SAP& variants to be adjusted is because they are using in SAP standard transaction codes:
S_BCE_68001418
Roles by Role Name
S_BCE_68001419
Roles by User Assignment
S_BCE_68001420
Roles by Transaction Assignment
S_BCE_68001421
Roles by Profile Assignment
S_BCE_68001422
Roles by Authorization Object
S_BCE_68001423
Roles by Authorization Values
S_BCE_68001424
Roles by Change Data
S_BCE_68001425
Roles by Complex Criteria
S_BIE_59000249
Roles By MiniApp
Any advice how to get round this issue please?
Thank you

Ansel,
Thanks again!
In RSA1 ->Transport Connection, yes, I can see the Source System objects.
In the Source System objects, I have selected the ECC source system and dropped it to the right panel.
Now I can a list of Datasource and Transfer Rules there.
1) Does it mean these are all the source system related objects?
I then create the normal transport request to capture all the objects. And release the Transport.
2) Now how can I export this transport?
What I try to do is to delete the existing SAP Source System. Create the new SAP Source System, then import back all the source system related objects...... so that my existing data model will not disappear after deleting and creating the new SAP Source System.
Is the following steps correct?
1) Collect all the Source System related objects and capture in Transport.
2) Release and export the Transport (but how?)
3) Delete the SAP Source System
4) Create new SAP Source System
5) Import the existing SAP Source System related objects (but how?).
Please help, thanks in advance.

Display issue with HTML formatted text in report builder

I am using the FCKeditor in my application to allow endusers
the ability to create formated text on reports. We curently are
experiencing 2 issues: 1. If you copy and paste from MS Word
2003/2007 it will not display the text correclty in the report; 2.
If you use the FCKeditor toolbar to insert bullets or a numeric
list it will not align the text correctly on the report. We are
using Coldfusion 8 with Hotfix 1 and Coldfusion Report Builder's
lastest build release.
Has one experiences this same issue with HTML fields not
printing correctly using the Report Builder? What other HTML
editors besides FCKeditor might we use?
Thanks,
Dan VanWieren

Hi Gavin,
If I understand well, your HTML tags are coded directly in your fields in the database, right? Because if it was not the case, you could have use a format trigger checking for which destination you're generating your report...
if UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTML' or
UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTMLCSS'
then
-- insert your HTML code in the value

newValue := '<B>' | | :YOUR_FIELD | | '</B>
srw.set_field_char( 0, newValue );
else
-- when generating to other format,
-- you'd have to add the formatting as
-- you want.
end if
return( true );
Of course, if it's not acceptable to remove the HTML tag from your database fields, you could develop a procedure that would translate your HTML tags to the good formatting (eurk... ;-)
Good luck... :-)

Generate spool req number for report output list

Hi,
How to generate spool request number for report output list while executing the report.Please provide if you have any sample code.
Thanks and Regards,
BSR.

HI srinivas,
welcome to sdn.
Exporting the Contents of a Spool Request
Use
You want to export the content of a spool request in one of the following ways:
·        As a text file to the SAP GUI working directory
·        Unconverted or as a table, RTF, or HTML to a directory of your choice
·        As a PDF file to a directory of your choice
Procedure
Follow the procedure below:
Exporting to the SAP GUI Working Directory
If you are exporting large quantities of data, downloading the spool request as a text file to the SAP GUI working directory is a good solution.
Choose Spool Request ® Forward® Export as Text.
The entire text is stored in your SAP GUI working directory in ASCII format.
A file of this type is named using the following pattern:
.txt
Example: ABC0000004327.txt
You require appropriate authorization for this function from your administrator.
Exporting Unconverted or as a table, RTF, or HTML to a Directory of Your Choice
With this method of exporting a spool request, the content of the spool request is first displayed, and you then download the content in the format of your choice to a directory of your choice.
       1.      Select the spool request to be exported and choose Display Contents.
       2.      In the case of SAPscript/Smart Forms documents, activate list display by choosing Goto.
       3.      Choose System ® List ® Save ® Local File.
       4.      Choose one of the available formats and confirm your choice.
       5.      Choose a directory and save the spool request.
By default, only the first 10 pages of a spool request are saved in a file. You can increase the number of pages to be saved by choosing Goto ® Display Requests ® Settings and making the desired entries in the Display Area group box.
Exporting as a PDF File
You want to export the contents of a spool request as a PDF file to a directory of your choice, and print the file as required. The PDF file contains the print data in the format in which it would be output by the printer.
The following procedure is irrelevant for the printing of PDF-based forms, since a PDF file is already returned with this method. See also Displaying and Printing PDF-Based Forms.
You also require authorization from your administrator to run this report.
The PDF file is generated as follows with report RSTXPDFT4:
       1.      Generate a spool request from the document to be printed.
       2.      In transaction SE38, start report rstxpdft4.
       3.      In the displayed window, enter the spool request number and the directory in which the PDF file is to be stored.
Leave the Download PDF File option selected.
Choose Execute.
       4.      In the next window, you can confirm or change the path in which the file is be stored.
Save your entries.
       5.      The system displays a log from which you can see whether the report was successfully performed.
You can then open the file from the directory and print it as required.
Restrictions for Exporting as a PDF File
·        The PDF conversion only supports true bar codes for Smart Forms, which were generated with the new bar code technology as of SAP NetWeaver 04. In all other cases, the bar code is only simulated.
·        PDF conversion, especially of ABAP lists, is slower and is therefore not suitable for mass printing. However, you can speed up the conversion to PDF using the FASTLISTCONV option in report RSTXPDF3.
·        The font selection for ABAP lists is predefined in the PDF converter and cannot be changed.
For more information about constraints, see SAP Note 323736 in the SAP Service Marketplace

User Comment field available for reporting?

User Comment field available for reporting?
When doing custom reporting against requests with reportable dictionaries we have a user request to also include the user comments. How do I reference / point to the comments field for a request?

If you are referring to the comments which are added in the Comments and History section of a requisition, this information is not migrated to the datamart and is not reportable.
If, on the other hand, you are referring to a comments field that you have included in a dictionary on the service form, that information will be available in the datamart so long as that dictionary has been made reportable.

Adding a new field to VA05 Report output

Hi All,

Please suggest me the best method
Thanks&Regards
Mahesh

Hi Mahesh,
i'm in the process of making a similar change,
copying to a ZPROGRAM is not so difficult, but as i told you you have to add your new field to VBMTV structure, and copy the includes that you need to change,
P.S. Note, when you copy you have to change some SELECT statements where
it's selecting from T180V table based on sy-repid, you hav to change sy-repid to SAPMV75A, as there's some configuration done for this.

URGENT: Issue with hierarchy level keys and report drill down

Hi,
BASIC STRUCTURE:
I have created a subject area with 3 facts (FACT_A, FACT_B, FACT_C) and 4 dimesnions (TIME_DIM,DIM_2,DIM_3,DIM_4). Each fact table also has additional aggregate tables aggregated along levels of the time dimension. Also our timw dimension has aggregated dimension tables like TIME_DIM_WEEK, TIME_DIM_MONTH, TIME_DIM_QUARTER and TIME_DIm_YEAR.
GOAL:
All 3 facts have the same measures M_1 and M_2 in them but may not have data for the same dimension values selected.
For example
For month JAN 2000 FACT_A.M1=100$ and no data exists for JAN 2000 in FACT_B and FACT_C. Then in the report
for JAN2000 it should show FACT_A.M1= $100, FACT_B.M1 = 0 and FACT_C.M1 =0. In this case I should be able to drill down to the lowest level.
ISSUE:
The time dimension TIME_DIM has the following levels - Total -> Year -> Quarter -> Month -> Week -> Day
However I am having an issue with drill down in the reports whenever I pull metrics from more than 1 fact at a time. I have defined the level keys but not sure if I need to do anything in addition since I am using aggregates.
I have to fix this issue quickly. Please help me.

Alastair,
All the fact tables have aggregated facts as sources.
I have checked the levels set for each of the sources to the time dimesnion table in BMM and they look okay. So the Time dim table in BMM has 4 source tables
Time_Day (level set to day, table key is "day"),
Time_month (level set to month, table key is "Fiscal_Month_Code"),
Time_Quarter(level set to quarter, table key is "Fiscal_Quarter_Code") and
Time_Year(level set to year, table key is :Fiscal_Year_Code").
Note: No time week aggregate added as logical source.
Again the time dim hierarchy based off of this table has levels: Total -> Year ->quarter -> Month -> week -> day
The levels keys set for each level are
Year -> Primary key is Year_Name (YYYY)(Checked as chronological key) and another key is Year_Num (YYYY)(Checked as chronological key)
Quarter->Primary Key is Quarter_Name (YYYY Qn), another key is Quarter_Number (Format n where n can assum values 1,2,3,4). Both keys are set as chronological keys
Month -> Primary key is Month_Name (MON YYYY), another key is Month_Num (Format n where n can assume values from 1 to 12) Both keys are set as chronological keys
Week -> Primary Key is week name (YYYY Wk nn, where nn can have values from 1 to 53), another key is week num (nn, where nn can have values from 1 to 53)
Day -> primary key set to day (date format)
Issue1: When I try to drill to lower levels it throws out an error saying report cannot find any data because filters may be too restrictive even though I see data at higher level
For ex: If I drill down to Year: 2010 and Qtr: 2010 Q2 and M1:$100 when I click on Qtr to drll to month level it throws me the error
Issue2: when I add year and qtr colums to the report I see data as below which is incorrect
Year_Name Qtr_Name data:FACTA_M1 Data: FactB_M1
2009 2009 Q1 $10 $5
2009 2009 Q2 $20 $80
2009 2009 Q3 $20
2009 2009 Q4 $30
2010 2010 Q1 $100
2010 Q2 $101
2010 Q3 $102 $230
2010 Q4 $103
2011 Q1 $10
In the above example year_name is not showing up for 2010 Q2 and after. However if I change the primary key for level 'Quarter' by having key consist of year name and quarter name instead of just quarter name the issue doesnt occur and drill down works great. The only issue is when I drill from qtr it first shows year name and quarter name instead of showing the next level which would be month name.
Sorry about the long message but I thought you might notice something in how I have set up the keys.
Thanks

Hi All, can i have some production support issues with rootcasue and resolution for SAP TM?
Thanks,
Sreenivas

Hi Sreenivas,
I would recommend that you read the Rules of Engagement and other documents in the Getting Started link (top right) before posting anymore. Your Discussion will most likely get reported as non-specific and get removed. If you have a specific problem with TM, please post it in a new thread with error messages, version and SPs installed, and how the error occurs and what you are trying to get TM to do.
There are a lot of resources available in the TM Overview page which can help, so start there and maybe also look at some of the MKS (Monday Knowledge Session) recordings which should also be listed. There are also a lot of experienced people who can help resolve issues your TM installation, but you need to provide enough information on the problems you are having. If you are just looking for information on past problems, do a Search or simply browse through past Discussions which are marked with a green Check (Correct Answer).

Directory Caching issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows

Hi ,
I am facing cache issue with Cisco Jabber client for Windows. If I do any change related to modification or deletion of contacts in Active Directory/ Callmanager, it does not reflect in the Jabber. Because jabber takes the contacts from the locally stored cache file in the Windows system.
Every time I have to remove the cache file to overcome this issue, practically it's not possible to do the same with all the Widows users. As, if any employee leaves the company and still I can see his contact appears in the "Cisco Jabber client". I have not seen this issue with Android/Apple iOS.
Is there any automated way to remove the cache file?
Here is the detail of CUCM,Presence and Jabber.
CUCM version: 9.1.x
Presence : 9.1.X
Jabber : 10.5 and 10.6

Hello
On our environment we had to install a dedicated Microsoft Certificate Authority "just for Cisco Jabber usage" to house the
Network Device Enrollment Service.
Our certificate for the CUPS were generated on this Certification Authority too.
I discussed this certificate matter with my colleagues this afternoon and nobody seems to remember how these certificates were deployed into the
Enterprise Trust store for the users.
But I think they asked all 400 users to accept the 3 certificates by answering "yes" to the popup instead of using a script deployed by GPO...
I wish you success with that deployment and really hope you have a technical partner that *Knows* this subject.
Our partner left us alone with that unfortunately.
Florent
EDIT: If the "Certutil script method" works, please let me know. This could be useful in our own deployment.

Issue with the field (Trading Partner) in the BW report

The Info Object 0PCOMPANY (Trading Partner) is having a reference char 0COMPANY in the BW system so the data for the field Trading partner text will be pulled from 0COMPANY_TEXT data source.
I have checked in the info object 0PCOMPANY in the tab master data / Text under text table properties it has checked in the medium length text exists.
Even i have checked with R/3 consultants and found the data for all of trading partners but i am not clear where i have to investigate on this issue.
Now the values for the field Trading Partner were not displayed in the report i have checked the properties of the field and found display as Standard: key and text.
Any help will be appreciated in advance.
Thanks
Ganni

Hi,
set the propety "display" to medium text for this charateristic either in the BEx report itself either in the query definition.
Ensure that the text are well loaded (run tran RSDMD with this IObj in norder to display master data)
Only having meduim texts will prevent you to display "key and texts" in reports.
You could enhance your IObj and enable short/long texts as well; in the transfer rules just load the medium text in short (truncate its length to 20) as well as in the long text.
hope this helps...
Olivier.
