Left alignment issue with XML report having Excel as output..

Hello
I am using XML Publisher report and the output format as Excel. When my output opens in Excel all numeric values are right justified and all characters values are left justified. I want numeric values also left justified.. How to achieve this?

did you create dimension and put levels in the fact and dim sources? did you specify the number of element at each level?

Issue with XML report printing on R12 instance

Hi,
I'm facing issue with printing xml reports on R12 instance and followed the note (How To Print XML Publisher PDF Reports Via The Concurrent Manager:metalink id:338990.1) and configured the pasta printer,still printer output is showing the junk charcters.
Please let me know how to resolve the issue?.

Hi Hussien,
We are on 12.1.1 / 11g with AL32UTF8 character set, we have custom reports developed in BI publisher and some some migrated reported from earlier version.
Both BI publisher based custom like PO/Invoice/Cheque Print & seeded reports like "Active users/responsibilites" are being generated successfuly in pdf output. when copied to desktop and printed it prints properly. But when trying to direct output to printer from concurrent request it is printng junk.
I checked pasta configuration, all required ghostscripts tools are on the AIX box, am I missing anything in R12?

Colour alignment issues with CP1515n

I'm having some colour alignment issues with my Color Laserjet CP1515n. Lately, I've noticed that the 3 colours go out of alignment from the middle towards the right of my printouts. Alignment at the left towards the middle half of the page is ok but gets progressively worse towards the right side of the page.
Nothing in the user interface allows me to reset the colour alignment. What can be the cause of this and what's the remedy? This printer is slightly over a year old and has only just gone through its first set of toner cartridges.

I am also having alignment issues to the same nature as the post below. I have just replaced the Black, Magenta and Cyan toners. After doing this the alignment goes out of register from left to right (left edge fits right edge all colours are out of fit by 2mm).
I have also found nothing in any manuals as to how to adjust or fix this problem. This is the second time I have replaced these colours. I have re-calibrated and taken the cartridges out several times but it is still the same.
Any advise would be helpful. As it is at the moment the printer is unusable for my job and it's the only one I have.

Performance Issue with VL06O report

Hi,
We are having performance issue with VL06O report, when run with forwarding agent. It is taking about an hour with forwarding agent. The issue is with VBPA table and we found one OSS note, but it is for old versions. ours is ECC 5.0. Can anybody know the solution? If you guys need more information, please ask me.
Thanks,
Surya

Sreedhar,
Thanks for you quick response. Indexes were not created for VBPA table. basis people tested by creating indexes and gave a report that it is taking more time with indexes than regular query optimizer. this is happening in the funtion forward_ag_selection.
select vbeln lifnr from vbpa
     appending corresponding fields of table lt_select
     where     vbeln in ct_vbeln
     and     posnr eq posnr_initial
     and     parvw eq 'SP'
     and     lifnr in it_spdnr.
I don't see any issue with this query. I give more info later

Variable input values issue with Portal reports in WAD

Hi Gurus,
We have issue with our reports which are created in WAD and when executed through CRM portal. We are executing the report with some selection criteria by changing default values, and once we get the out put we use SAVEAS option to save the report to favourites. But the issue arises when we open the reprot again by clicking OPEN tab next to SAVEAS button. It opens our report, but the selection screen vaues are getting changed to default instead of showing the values which we entered before saving the report.
ex: we have fiscalyear/period: default value is 001.2009 - 010.2009, but i changed the value to 001.2010 - 010.2010 and saved the out put of the report. when i reopen the report useing open option, it is showing 001.2009 - 010.2009 in input screen.
Please let me know if some one has come accross this issue, or is it standard SAP behaviour. It is working fine when executed through Query designer. This is not related to personlization of variabl.es.
Regards,
Yada

Hi Hari,
Thanks for your promp response...but is there any settings to get the variable values with out saving as variant, because its working fine when executing through query designer....

Has anyone had issues with Microsoft Word or Excel requiring initial set-up again after a software update?

Has anyone had issues with Microsoft Word or Excel requiring a set-up after software udates? I do not have product key, so unable to set up again.

This laptop has original Microsoft word & excel provided by Mac when purchased and is legal copy.
Do I understand you bought a Mac and it came with Microsoft Office? I could be wrong, but I wasn't aware that was an option. Or am I not parsing that sentence correctly and you bought a Mac and bought a legal copy of Office to install on it? In which case, never mind.

Issues with BEx Reports in SAP Enterprise Portal

Hello Experts,
I am facing issues with BEx reports integrated in portal. Below are more details:
Scenario 1:
Execute a BEx report in the portal, save it in 'My Portfolio' using 'Save As' button. Now open the saved report from 'My Portfolio'. Below is the issue for this scenario:
When I open the saved report, I get 2 error messages and 1 info message at the top of the report. They are as follows:
The metadata of 'ITE' 'TEMPLATE_PARAMETERS' are incorrect for parameter 'COMMAND_PROCESSING'
The metadata of 'ITE' 'FILTER_PANE_ITEM' are incorrect for parameter 'TEXT_WRAPPING'
Variables for characteristic Fiscal year/period[0FISCPER] cannot be processed
Scenario 2:
Execute a BEx report in the portal, save it in 'BEx Portfolio' or 'Favourites' using 'Save As' button. Now open the saved report and click on 'Send' button. As expected, the BEx broadcaster wizard should appear but, it shows '400 BAD HTTP REQUEST'. While if I open the report (not the saved one) and click on 'Send' button, it works.
Helpful pointers appreciated.
Thanks
Vikash

HI Suman,
I am not adding the report to favourite using browser favourite. Below is the flow:
Run the report in portal.
There is a 'Save As' button at the top of the report. When I click that button, I get a pop-up with 3 tabs for saving the report.:
Favourite
BEx Portfolio
My Portfolio
save the report in the favorites or BEx portfolio tab and then open it and press 'Send' button
BEx Broadcaster Wizard should appear but instead of that, it shows '400 BAD HTTP REQUEST'.
If I press send for unsaved report, then BEx broadcaster Wizard is shown.
Thanks,
Vikash

User issue with a report supply planning area today monthly

this is a support issue....the user has an issue with a report supply planning area today monthly. The user is getting wrong values in BW, it sums PLOs and POs under production (config). for eg: BW says we are producing 46T while in R/3 we have 4T.

The issue was related to the heap size being too much and as a result the Class block memory was not getting enough memory. I think we can make a use of -XXCompressedRefs:32 parameter in the Java start up to allow the heap size to increase till 32 Gb.

Issue with SSRS Report Exporting to Excel and word

Hi,
When report is exporting in word and Excel getting format issue, but same report export with pdf there is no issue.
Regards,
Afroz

You need to be always careful when export format is Word and specially Excel. Sometimes report result looks good in Report Viewer and PDF too, but it may not in MS Word and MS Excel.
You need to understand Word and Excel limitations and align all the data regions (Tablix, Rectangles, Texboxes) in correct way.
Also, you may post the actual formatting issue that you get. (With screenshot if possible)
Please read Limitation section in below:

10g Reports issue with XML Data Source

Hi,
Has anybody ever encountered an issue with Oracle 10g report using an XML as the data source? What happens is, some of the values in the XML are printed to the wrong column.
One of the elements in our XML file is a complex type with 10 elements under it. The first 5 are picked up properly, but the last 6 are not. Elements #6 to #9 has a minimum occurence of 0. What happens is when element #6 is present, but #7 is, the value for element #7 is passed on to element #6.
The XSD and XSL files are both valid since the reports were working when we were still using 9i. There is no hidden logic in the report which might cause this issue to come up, i.e., the report just picks up the values from the XML and prints it to the appropriate columns.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Bind Variables with AND in String causing Issues in XML & Report Outputs

Hi all,
I'm creating a BI Publisher report (10.1.3.2) and am experiencing an issue with the interprutation of Bind Variables in the Data Template.
Here is an example of some of the Data template
<dataTemplate name="BudgetDataBU" description="BudgetDataBU" dataSourceRef="DLXN">
   <parameters>
      <parameter name="p_Year" dataType="Integer" include_in_output="true"/>
      <parameter name="p_Measure" dataType="character" include_in_output="true"/>
      <parameter name="p_Currency" dataType="character" include_in_output="true"/>
      <parameter name="p_Version" dataType="character" include_in_output="true"/>
   </parameters>
   <dataQuery>
      <sqlStatement name="BusUnits">
           <![CDATA[SELECT DISTINCT CC.BUSINESS_UNIT as BUSINESS_UNIT
                    FROM   DLXN_FACT_DATA_DET FD,
                           DLXN.COST_CENTRE CC
                    WHERE FD.COST_CENTRE = CC.COST_CENTRE
                    AND FD.CAL_YEAR    = :p_Year
                    AND FD.Currency      = :p_Currency
                    AND FD.Measure      = :p_Measure
                    AND FD.Version        = :p_Version
                    AND CC.DLXN_VIEW = 'Delexian' ]]>
           </sqlStatement>
       <sqlStatement name="Details">
           <![CDATA[SELECT DLXN_FACT_DATA_DET.VERSION,
                           DLXN_FACT_DATA_DET.CURRENCY,
                           DLXN_FACT_DATA_DET.CAL_YEAR as CAL_YEAR,
                           SUM(nvl(DLXN_FACT_DATA_DET.JAN_AMT,0)) as JAN_AMT,
        </sqlStatement>
    </dataQuery>The problem is with the :p_Measure Bind Variable but it could just as easily be any of the other character parameters.
The particular string value that is causing a problem is "Travel and Expenditure". I believe it is due to the "AND" in the string but this string value cannot be changed in the database to say "Travel & Expenditure".
I have thought about using a REPLACE function in the SELECT statement but see this as an ugly solution.
Any input greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Issue with Crystal Report based on 2 different data sources

Hi there,
I am having a frustrating problem with a report I've designed and I'm hoping someone might be able to assist please.
The report has 3 different prompts, each of which is based on a dynamic list of values retrieved via views within a SQL server db.
We are wanting to introduce the use of Universes as much as possible, so the data returned is based off a BO Universe data source query.
I have uploaded the report into BO and have provided the necessary database logon information for the report (in the "Process" > "Database" settings in the CMC) for both the direct db datasource connection (for the views) and the BO Universe query connection.
When the report is run however, the report still prompts for the database user name & password credentials. I have triple checked my db connection settings, and also have "Use same database logon as when report is run" set to true. I also tested a cut-down version of the report without the Universe connection with the same db logon credentials I provided and there was no credentials prompt when it was run, proving those values are accepted.
Does anyone know why this is happening & if there is a way around it? Alternatively, is there some way that a report prompt may be based on a dynamic list of values retrieved via a Universe connection? This way I'd be able to remove the db connection for the views and have the report solely based on the Universe.
Another issue that occurs is out of the 3 prompts, a user can select a User Name OR Number, and also must select a Period. However if the User Name or Number is left blank the message "The value is not valid" is shown. So I tried a cut-down version of the report with only the BO Universe as a data source (static prompts) and this didn't occur, i.e. I was allowed to leave either the User Name or Number empty.
I hope this all of makes sense - let me know if not. If anyone is able to help out with any of this it would be very much appreciated.
Cheers,
Marco

ExcelXML mapping---problem with XML maps in Excel sheet

Hi Friends,
I have one issue with ExcelXML mapping in Xcelsius.
The problem is I have designed one dashboard using ExcelXML mapping and everything is working fine but I was afraid that I could not able to find the mappings which were embedded in Excel.It happened many times.What I was doing is everytime Im re-mapping.I could be a big problem for me to do this procedire for everytime.How to recover my XML maps into excel sheet.Can anyone please provide the solution to achieve this.

Shouldnt it be equivalent ? I mean, as far as I know the ns0: shouldnt be a problem
when you have a namespace in the message then you need to associate it with some prefix....since ns0 (or any other prefix) is not present you are getting the error....having the namespace but not ns0 is the problem.
XMLAnonymizer bean may help you to add the namespace prefix...
