Dynamically changing the layout of thre report-urgent please

Can we change the layout of the report dynamically during runtime for example:the user should have flexibility to change the width, size , position of columns before the report is displayed & also he choose some fields not to display as per his discretion.
Mahesh

There are several ways of doing this, it really depends on your requirements as to which is suitable. (There are probably other ways of doing this as well).
- Try Reports XML Customizations
This is available in 6i and allows you to create a report dynamically on the fly. The template used will also allow you to change the paper size as well. The main limitation is that you are relying only on Reports defaulting to create the layout for you. The advantage is that you can store all your information to create the report in meta-data which can be driven by another tool.
- Use lexical parameters for queries and format triggers
Here, you have a fixed layout but dynamically change the query columns to the correct order. You would normally standardise on a "character" column type in order to do this. Even though the layout is fixed, you can use variable sized fields to push objects around. This can be difficult to setup.
- Use several layouts
You're reducing the options for the user, but you can have several layouts in the same report and turn them on/off. Effectively creating differing views of the same data.

Error while creating a new layout in a report.

I am getting this error message:
Failed to save data.
Error occurred when creating xml data.
when I try to save after I create a new layout in my report.
Is there some common problem with templates that could cause this to happen?
I'll continue to look around for an answer but if anyone would like to see the template and a sample set of XML data so they can help me figure out what the problem is, that would be swell.
-Nevermind. The problem seems to have dissapeared. Apparently the appropriate order of operations is
1: Create new layout.
2: Upload RTF Template
Please feel free to delete this post -.-

i am also getting the same error here and i have followed what you laid out, i am still getting the same error.
Thanks

My Menu - Add a Query Print Layout to the Report Folder

This is a newb question. I can easily add a Query or form or most anything else to the Folders under My Menus ... But how can I add a specific Print Query Layout to the Reports folder un My Menu?
I know it is simple but I can not find the steps in the documentation
Thanks in advance!!!
Dana

Kapil
I tried that, but it adds the Query not the QPLD to the menu.
I had figured that I could go the the QPLD memu and add the Report, but that adds the Query Print Layout Menu with all the reports.
I feel like I am missing something very obvious here!!!
Thanks for your quick response!!

Creating layouts in ALV report

Hi all,
I have created a report when a user creates a layout in the report it should save the variant(layout) and display in the selection-screen with alv_variant and search help.Its working properly.
But I have to create different layouts like the following:
Layout with sort and subtotals,
layout with sort and filter conditions like that.
Can anybody help me regarding this matter.
with regards
chandu

Sai,
Here is a little sample program which shows you how to recall saved ALV Layouts. It requires the user to run the report, create their own variants, and this program allwos them to recall it from the selection screen.
You can create gobal layouts (for your sorts, and totals) which canbe accessed by any user.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Pat.

Print Layout Designer \Custom Reports

Hello All,
Is there a way to set a custom report as default in the Print Layout Designer for A/R Invoice in SAP B1 ?
Thank you and Best wishes and Happiness in the New Year 2009.
Ben

Hello All,
Thank you for your answer but I would like to be more exact in my question because I already know how to set a Print Layout as default in a screen of SAP B1 like A/R Invoice by the way that Parlati has mentioned :
1. Open a blank AR Invoice (e.g. service or item type)
2. Click on Menu >> Tools >> Print Layout Designer... or pen icon on toolbar
3. With The Document Type selected - choose template and click on Set as Default
But I usually use the Query Manager Tool of SAP B1 to create new queries and reports and I use the Print Layout Designer to setup the layout of these reports. These reports are printed normally via the print preview Icon of the toolbar. But now I would like to know how can I set one of these Reports as default in A/R Invoice screen of SAP. Because it's a one of my customized Invoices.
Is there a way to do this?
Thank you.
Ben.

Functionality for Select and Save layout in a report output

Hi,
I had developed a report program containing several fields in the output and requires the Functionality for Select layout and Save layout in a report output.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Shariq.

While calling the FM for List Display ( "REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY" or "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY" ) set the Parameter I_SAVE for Setting the Layout and Selecting a different Layouts.
The possible values for I_SAVE are "A", "U", "X" or others. Depending on the requiement you can set different values for the Parameter I_SAVE.
' ' = display variants cannot be saved
Defined display variants (e.g. delivered display variants) can be selected for presentation independently of this flag.
Changes can not be saved.
'X' = standard save
Display variants can be saved as standard display variants.
User-specific saving is not possible.
'U' = only user-specific saving
The user can only save display variants user-specifically
'A' = standard and user-specific saving
The user can save a display variant user-specifically and
as standard display variant. The user chooses in the display variant
save popup.

Layout to a Report run in the background

For a standard SAP Report which is run in background everyday with a variant . How can I attach a layout ( i created for sort column )to the report ? I want the output of the report to be as per the Layout ...How can i assign the layout to the report ?

Hi,
By attaching a layout, if you mean that you want the output spool to be changed as per the new layout, then i dont think that it is possible directly.
You have to copy the standard program and do the changes. Later on schedule this program in background with the variant.
Best regards,
Prashant
PS : How have u created a layout with sort column. Have you copied the standard program ?

Web layout of jsp report

Hi All:
Please let me know how can i run web layout of jsp report and publish it as portlet?
I have successfully deployed my jsp report(web layout),namely my_rpt.jsp, as a J2EE application and when i write URL direlctly in address bar of browser it runs successfully.
I have also published (as portlet) successfully my_rpt.jsp, with "execute" type "servlet", and it runs paper layout of report.
But i m unable to run the web layout of this report,with "execute" type "JSP"
i have provided "Oracle Reports Web Gateway URL for JSP reports " = http://webserver.domain_name:port/
Please help me out whats the problem and how can i run my jsp report with web layout?.One thing more its not the problem with only my_rpt.jsp
but other reports also shows the same behaviour.
Any suggestion/solution would be highly appreciated.
Regards
Sam

Hi Sam,
When you register a report with Portal, you can either register it to be run via servlet or as JSP. If you would like to run the same report via servlet as well as a JSP, you will have to register it twice with Portal.
If you want to run the report as JSP, keep these steps in mind:
1. While registering the report, select "Execute as JSP" in step 2 of the registration process.
2. When you write the "Oracle Reports File Name", provide the virtual path to the JSP. As an example, suppose you have written the following as "Oracle Reports Web Gateway URL for JSP reports "
http://webserver.domain_name:port/
And suppose when you run the JSP report successfully outside of Portal, you use the following URL:
http://webserver.domain_name:port/mycontext_root/my_rpt.jsp
In this case, you will have to provide the following as the value for "Oracle Reports File Name"
mycontext_root/my_rpt.jsp
Notice that the file name is actually not just the file name, but it is qualified by the virtual path to the JSP report (where you have deployed the report).
If you keep the above 2 steps in mind, you should be able to run the report as JSP from Portal.

Web Layout different in Reports Builder to running in URL

When I go to Run Web Layout for a report in the Oracle Reports Builder, the columns are formatted differently to when I run the report from a browser (ie. font is smaller and the columns seem to wrap when they seem to fit nicely when running Web Layout in the Reports Builder). In fact, it looks identical to what is shown in the 'paper layout' in the report editor.
I have used 'desformat=htmlcss', so why does it look different? Can I make the browser version look like what is shown when running Web Layout in the Reports Builder? If so, how?
Thanks
Alison

I am too facing the same problem for quite a long time and left it unresolved. So what i am doing for now is changing the font size and adjusting the paper layout manually.

Maintaining formats(layouts) on Crystal report with different database

I was just needing some help maintaining the layout of a report but using a different database. The databases are very similar for example, a field for the database in use is line1xxxx what I wish to do is keep all the formating & point it line2xxxx database. Where line1 is the original Database & Line2 is the new database I wish to use. Both of these databases reside in the same folder its just that I need identical reports for both Line 1 & Line 2 & am trying to get away from duplicating all the work I did on the Line 1 report.
Hopefully not too trivial for this forum.
Thanks in advance.

If you have same tables in both the databases then open the report and go to menu option in the report database-->set data source location and create new connection in the bottom window and select both existing connection from top window and new from bottom and click on update. Now the report points to the new database, so now use save as option to save the report with some other name so that you can have the old report with old connection and the new one with new connection.

Default Page Layout in Standard Report Wizard - CRXI

I have Crystal Reports XI. When creating a new report I always want the page layout set to Legal Landscape. Using the Standard Report Wizard always defaults to Letter Portrait. I know how to change the layout once the report is generated, but I can find no way to make my settings the default. I would like the Wizard to default to Legal Landscape. Is there a way to change the default layout?

Hi William,
This needs to be set in printer settings :
Go in Control PanelPrintersright click on default printergo in propertieshere you need to change the default values to Legal Landscape and click on apply and ok.
Now when you create a new report it will take the above format as default.

Layout of MCTA Report

Hi Gurus,
How do we change the layout of MCTA Report, Currently when we run MCTA it is displaying in ABAP layout i think, Can we change that to SAP List Viewer, Can someone please throw some light on this on how to achieve this because some customers names are not being displayed completely.
Thanks in Advance Gurus,
Naga.

Dear Friend,
Increase the length of the Customer Name in LIS reports follow this:
T-Code - MCTA - Click on the Button User Settings. The system would prompt your user name, select & proceed.
Now click on the Parameters Button. Here you have options like:
Key - for displaying only Customer code
Description - for Displaying only Customer Name
Key & Description - for Displaying both Customer Code & Name.
Select the required option.
Also there is a selection for Column widh:
Character Column & Key figures column. Here you can increase the width as per your reuirement for display full Customer name.
Hope this helps...
Give points if useful...
Thanks,
