Issues with Exporting to Report Definition File

Post Author: dcasper70
CA Forum: Exporting
We just notices a strange thing happening when exporting to a report definition file. Hoping someone can explain it and/or offer us some kind of solution. We're currently about 25 deep into an extensive documentation phase involving 500+ reports, and just noticed this issue.
We assumed that ALL formulas that are being used in the report should be written out to the report definition file, either in section 4.0 (Formulas) or section 4.3 (Other Formulas). We have now noticed that in most reports this is not occurring.
In fact, in almost all cases, the RDF section 4.0 is completely blank, and section 4.3 has only a small fraction of the formulas in the report!!!
Is there some export option that we haven't found? Some setting somewhere we need to look into??? Does any detailed documentation on this type of exporting exist that someone can point us to?
Most search results that we've come across have implied or directly stated that ALL formulas/parameters/objects/etc will be exported. This clearly is not the case in our experience.
Someone please show me that I'm just missing something simple!!!!!

Most likely, that is how it works, check out this article
http://www.bridgebuilder.com/bb_documents/newsletters/2003/08-03%20newsletter.pdf
Only formulas that are inserted directly in the report are reported, not referenced ones, or those contained within a text box. I have found ReportMiner, CrystalKleen and .rpt Inspector Professional Suite, but have not used any of them. If you try these, let me know if it works for what you are doing, I may need to do the same soon.

Issue with exporting Financial Report in Smartview 11.1.2.2

If I export a FR in "Export in query Mode" , it concatenates the parent with the child (parent.child) and does not return anything in Smartview. Even though the report works fine in workspace.
I narrowed down the issue and it seems if I use Stored member roll up instead of using Shared member roll up it returns the right data when I export the report in Smartview.
So the issue is only with the FR using Shared members.
Does anyone know if this is a known issue or can replicate this in their environment ? We are on version 11.1.2.2
Thanks

Nope that didn't work, but I figured out the error. I was running the command on a client machine. When I run the command on the server itself, it works fine.. well, now I have issues with my POVs, but at least it's finding my .csc file.
Thanks for your help John.

Problem with exporting a report to excel vial citrix server

Hi,
We are encountering a problem with exporting a report to excel through ALV local file icon.A spread sheet is downloading only one row (From header) instead of many rows from the ALV output .
Above is working fine for the GUI installed on my PC, but not throgh the Citrix server.

I understand that you're trying to download the file to a local computer through Citrix. In this case you need autorizations in Citrix for your user ( CItrix user)

Cannot export to reporting schema (File - Export - To Reporting Schema )

I just installed SQL Data Modeler version 2.0.0 Build 584
Export to reporting schema (File -> Export -> To Reporting Schema ) is not working.
I created a report schema and tried to export the Sql Data Modeler (SDM) repository to the Oracle schema.
I received the following error from SDM: "Error occured while exporting to Reporting Schema. See the log for details".
I checked the log ( View -> Log ) and all the log contained was "2010-01-18 11:10:23 - Exporting to Reports Schema"
The reports schema contained 44 tables. None of the tables contain any data.
I can create a test table and add data to it in the reporting schema. There is lots of quota available to the reports schema.
I have tried the report export to Oracle several times with the former version with mixed results.
Any suggestion? Does the "export to reporting schema" work for anyone else?
The following script from TOAD describes the reports schema.
CREATE USER SDM_REPORT
IDENTIFIED BY <password>

Problem solved: Data Modeler would export other designs to an Oracle schema but not the one I was working on (Babylon). I saved a copy of Babylon, BabylonReports and deleted everything except the relational model. Then I could export it to the repository. I assume that either the logical model or dataflow model had a problem which prevented Data Modeler from saving the export. Next time I'll run Design Rules to see if there is an error I can eliminate that will allow me to save an export.

Issues with export with upgrade to 3.3

I am experiencing issues with export with 3.3
The image looks great in the Browser after editing. However when I checked the export folder I discovered corrupt files.
I only dicovered it because I tried to email one of the images.
2 out of 200 the blacks had solarized meaning all blacks went to white.
Never had this problem before in any of my Aperture Versions since day one.
The bottom line problem how can trust that the images are ok on export whitout having to look at every single export later.
This is embarissing since I had already delivered a project not knowing there were bad files.
Additionally images do not seem to be as sharp before the upgrade. I am using Nikon 300 and Nikon 7000 with San Disk Cards.
Do I have to do some camera profiling ?

Have you checked the Color Profile setting in the export preset you are using?
I found my Color Profile settings switched to different settings after the upgrade.
Try the Generic RGB profile.

Issue with export in Excel in WAD

Hi
I have an issue with export to excel in WAD. I have a web template with two or more tabs.
On the webtemplate I have two buttons to export to excel. One to export the content from the active tab and one button to export content in all tabs.
My problem is that when I export to excel it always add the current/active content twice. I've tried with both buttons and they work as expected except that they export one table to much (the active).
can anyone help / give a clue what to look for.

John

Hi

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...

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.

RC 8.6 Issues with Nikon D810 NEF RAW files

RC 8.6 does not correctly process Nikon D810 NEF RAW files. See the following blog article for some details:
Nikon D810 vs D800E ISO Comparison

This is very helpful. My current workflow, until ACR 8.6 and LR fully support the Nikon D810, are to use the DNG converter and import the resulting D810 DNG files into my LR catalog.
I have not yet tried this (traveling right now), but I assume I can still make a custom profile using the X-Rite ColorChecker Passport and it's associated software for my D810 using the RC 8.6 DNG files. This is my normal workflow for all of my other cameras in LR, but the process is direct from native RAW and not DNG (to produce the custom profile).

Until Lightroom gets D810 support, you will need to use the ACR plugin in order to see the profiles. The DNG Converter always uses Adobe Standard, and embeds it into the DNG. Lightroom 5.5 doesn't have the D810 profiles.

Issue with exporting line to excel on Crystal Report 2013

Hi all,
I got the issue when exporting to Excel
I would like to export to excel with line border in cells. But it seems there is limitation when using "line" object. If I use line, in excel file, there is nothing. Then I changed to use border cells. It's exported fine to excel, but I got another issue.
Because data is so long, so I use "can growth" function. But if I use "can growth" function. I got issue when export to excel file like the picture I attach here.
There are a lot of empty cells when wrapping text, how can we remove empty cells? And the line was drawn incorrectly.
Thanks so much.

I need a report with border cell and do not merge cell or blank row/cell after exporting to Excel. Most of them are fine (using border cell instead of line object). But I got issue when using "CanGrow" option to extend height of text object automatically.
Below is detail.
1. If the "CanGrow" option is false
- In preview report, the field does not extend the height to show all data if it is over
- Then, export to Excel by "Microsoft Excel (97-2003)"=> it shows exactly what I saw in previewing (data has been truncated automatically).
- If export to Excel by "Microsoft Excel (97-2003) Data only" => it shows all data but the formatting of cell (border, width) is missing
2. If the "CanGrow" option is true
- In preview report, the field extends automatically if the field is too long but other fields still remain
- Then, export to Excel
I expect I can see all data with the correct border cell and do not merge cell in the preview and Excel (the cell may be wrap text or not if it is over the size but the data need to be kept instead of truncating)
Is there any solution to meet it?
Many thanks.

Font style issue with exporting report in Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
I got stuck on the below issue for a while. Please can anyone help on this?
When I designed and executed a report in Crystal Reports 2008 on my local PC, the font style and size used in charts were exactly what I was expecting.
However, after I exported the report to our BusinessObjects CMC and displayed it in InfoView, the font style and size in charts looked quite different from what they were in CrystalReports.
Any ideas of how to fix this issue?
Thanks!
BAI

Hi Nanda Kishore,
This is because you do not have proper rights on Business View Manager. Whenever you create a dynamic parameter in crystal and try to save the report on BO, it creates a Business view automatically. Now in your case, it is unable to create a business view due to insufficient rights.
Go in Business View Manager u2013 Repository exploreru2014You will find Dynamic Cascading Prompts folderu2014Right click on that and go in rights and add your user information and give full rights.
Also make sure that your BO and CR designer on same version and patch level.
Thanks,
Sastry

Help with exporting Deski to text file via Web Intelligence

We are currently converting from BO version 5 to BO XI rev2. I have a report that must be scheduled to a flie in plain text format. I am using a deski report. When I save as to text, the file is fine. When I schedule it in webi, the file seems to be missing the end of line character for each row in the table, so it cannot be used for an import to another program. Can anybody help with this?-

well, in that case you need to determine if this issue only happens with a perticular report or all of them, if it happens only with reports imported from 5.x or with newly created reports as well.
Looks like it is happening only when report is exported from Infoview, not in the Deski client. This might indicate a problem at the Web Apllication server (tomcat or one you use).
If this issue is happening with any report - it might be a bug. In that case you have no options as there are no more patches for XIR2.
On the other hand - if all you need is to extract data for consumption in another tool , why not use Data integrator instead ?
Also, if this desn't work in Deski - does it work if you convert your reports to webi and export from those ?
