List of BIP Reports

Is there a method to get the list of the BIP reports in the system , like using the Catalog Manager in OBIEE 11g?
T

Hi,
By Using Create Report - Via catalog manager
Go to login --> catalog manager---> tools menu--> create report--> select type of report
then you will get o/p report and just save it as .xls
Refer section, 17.9 Creating Reports to Display Catalog Data Using Catalog Manager

How to get the list of BIP reports for a perticular instance?

Hello All,
We have a requirement to list all the BI Publisher reports available in an instance from outside BIP.Is there any way to get the reports with the instance details as parameters?And is it possible to run BIP reports from command line?
Do we have any API's to do these?
Thanks in advance...

Hi,
there's a Java API and a Web Service API available for BI Publisher. The Web Services API for example has functions to get the content of folders or the parameters of a report.
Have a look at

Generating BIP report in RTF format generates blank report

Hi all,
When generating a BIP report in RTF format the report output is blank!?
If I run the report in any other format the report displays the data correctly.
We're running siebel 8.1.1.2 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1.
When looking at the size of the report when the 'File Download' window appears it seem like the report contains data as the size is 62KB, compared to the pdf format which do display data is 20KB. The output generates the amount of pages that is needed for the report, but all pages are blank.
The report is an activity List report with just one for-each statement in it.
Has anybody come across the same?

Hakan

Hi alka,
To invoke Word automatically, use command
line options DESTYPE=CACHE,
DESFORMAT=RTF and MIMETYPE=application/msword.
This is an example URL: http://webserver:80/cg-bin/rwcgi60.exe?module
=test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@mydb&
destype=cache&desformat=rtf&mimetype=application/msword&server=myrepserver
1. Check the appropriate mimetype setting for Word by Starting Windows Explorer,
choose View -> Options from the menu, go to the File Type tab, find Microsoft
Word Document in this list, click Edit, and get the value for Content Type
(MIME). This is the value that needs to be used in the MIMETYPE command line
option, and it will typically be application/msword, but may differ on
different machines.

Siebel & "BIP Report Generation" Workflow and Bookmark Syntax

IHAC that wants to schedule the generation of a BIP report to run every weeknight and include a list of activities for the next day. We've utilized an OOTB IO and can successfully render the report using Sample XML in MS Word. Additionally, since they are only on 8.1.1, they do not currently have access to the latest scheduling capabilities. Therefore, we're trying to implement a repeating component to call a workflow to generate the report using the 'BIP Report Generation' workflow and the associated objects (from support posting 823360.1).
Now to the questions:
One of the parameters for the workflow is a 'Bookmark'. This parameter does not appear to handle various 'Siebel' querying functions like 'Today()' as part of the criteria. Can someone confirm this statement?
Currently, I can imagine one high-level possible workarounds. This would entail a revised WF and that includes a prior step to generate the 'Bookmark' by retrieving a string representation of tomorrow's date and concatenating it with the rest of the criteria.
Next question:
Does anyone have any other possible alternatives? Maybe a calculated field in the BC/IC for 'Today() + 1' - but this could have performance implications.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Suggestions/comments?
Bump.

Not able to get correct BIP report output in case of more than 6000 records

Hi,
When we are trying to generate the BIP report in siebel 8.1.1, for the list of records whose count exceeds 6000 records, we are gettin a error as
"Error <?> invoking method "<?>" for Business Service "<?>"(SBL-OMS-00203)
W have done all the optimizations recommended by siebel like
1)BIP Report Wait Time = 250
2)Database Polling Interval=1
3)Maximum Tasks parameter=100
4)Maximum MT Servers parameter=2
5)DSMaxFetchArraySize=-1
6)Scalable mode in XDo cfg=True
Than also we are getting the above error.
Do any body have any solution or how we can optimize the report because the same report is working with less than 6000 records and giving details of all the records correctly but if records are increased beyond that than we are getting error as specified above.
Thanks

Parametrized BIP report integration on OBIEE 11g dashboard

HI Experts,
I have created BIP Report using SQL as source for my Dataset in Datamodel.Also, the report is parametrized with date value.
SELECT * FORM EMP
WHERE DEPT_NO=:DEPT_NO
AND HIRE_DATE<=:FROMDATE
AND HIRE_DATE>=:TODATE
DEPTNO : List of value (Select DEPTNO from DEPARTMENTS) and the Parameter is created as Menu type
FROMDATE: List of vale(select day from Date_table) and the parameter is created as Date type
TODATE: List of vale(select day from Date_table) and the parameter is created as Date type.
The Report is working fine in BI Publisher portal.. Now I want to integrate this report onto the dashboard. For, that I have created 3 dashboard prompts (column prompts) and set the values to presentation variables DEPT_NO and FROMDATE and TODATE respectively...
Now when I run my dashboard after choosing all the prompts the report is not getting generated. Instead, it is throwing below error.
oracle.xdo.XDOException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException.
I don't have an idea what is causing this issue and i verified LOG Viewer form Enterprise manager.. But, no use.. I couldn't figure out the issue..
Can any body help me how to resolve this issue..
Regards
Ramarao

Hi Ramarao,
There's many possible reasons why you're getting the error 'oracle.xdo.XDOException: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException'. Because it's an XDO error, I'm stewing more towards your template that you're using.
I would propose the following:
print the whole error that you retrieved
Change the SQL script from * to the specific column names and ensuring that maps correctly to your template
Hope this gets the ball rolling and one step closer to resolving the issue

Daniel

Locale Settings lost on mobile client 7.8.2.14 after creation of BIP report

Hi All,
we went live with BI Publisher reports (Siebel 7.8.2.14) at the beginning of June.
Now some of our users are having trouble with their mobile web client.
For example our colleagues in Poland have their Windows XP regional settings set to "Polish". It will make Siebel use date format for all date fields (e.g. activity start date) display as YYYY-MM-DD - this works just fine until user is creating a BIP report. After successfull report creation, all locale settings in the mobile client are lost. Instead of YYYY-MM-DD, the dates are displayed in DD.MM.YYYY and creation of new records produces and error. Also, currency and number formats are mixed up.
I assume it's a bug - anyone hit this before?
Edited by: Penky on Jun 17, 2011 11:38 AM

Yes, we finally decided to do so!
The main reason was that we had a lot of new report change requests and did not want to do the work twice (now in Actuate and then again in BIP). Also we plan our 8.x upgrade for second half of 2011 so this was already some kind of preparation, so we can completely focus on the upgrade afterwards and don't need to hassle around with the reports as well.
issues we're still facing include "user's are not able to run reports after they change their position" or "List reports can only be run for few records, otherwise the search spec hit's an IO field's length limitation" or "report popup can not be suppressed although there's no useful information in it" (not to forget the one described in this thread) and some others.
Well ... after 1 1/2 years since I downloaded the first integration QF the BIP journey still does not end - it's like it just started :)

How to avoid IE pop-ups when running BIP reports(w/ SSO) from Oracle Forms?

Hi all,
We have an OID/SSO integrated Oracle Forms and BI Publisher environment in place. We/users expect the same behavior when running Oracle Reports or BIP reports from Oracle Forms... which means receiving no intermediate pop-ups and simply getting the report output to appear in the relevant target application(PDF, EXCEL, etc). Currently we get multiple security warnings when running BIP reports from Oracle Forms.
Here's a list of Pop-ups contents:
1. "File Download - Security Warning" Do you want to open or save this file? -> OPEN
2. "File Download" Do you want to save this file? Name = ma01r500.pdf -> YES
3. "Save AS" -> pick desktop and save.
4. "Download Complete" -> OPEN
We have experimented with setting various IE security settings to LOW/enabled and still get these pop-ups.
Any suggestions is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Yahya

FYI... Metalink Note 282996.1 has resolved the bigger issue with the extra pop-ups with SSO enabled environment.
Cause:
Internet Explorer (IE) has to cache PDF files in a temporary directory prior to opening the file. Without this IE cannot process PDF files. With SSO protected pages, the header cache settings are set to no-cache which prevents IE from downloading PDF files.
Solution:
In mod_osso.conf use the entry "OssoSendCacheHeaders off" which tells mod_osso to turn off all no-cache related headers, which the enables Internet Explorer to be cache the file in a temporary directory.
Now I am not sure if anybody has any thoughts/suggestions as how we might be able to resolve this issue where Oracle Reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls have no pop-ups so ideally BIP reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls should behave the same as both are calls from Oracle Forms.
But at least now our SSO enabled environment and un-secure DEV/UAT behave the same with a single pop-up. Ideally the users shouldn't have to come across this intermediate pop-up to open(save/cancel being the other options) the document(just like Oracle Reports calls).

Link from OBIEE Report to BIP Report

I have a requirement in which I need to Create a Report in OBIEE and the values used in the prompts to execute the report in OBIEE needs to be passed through a link to BIP and Execute BIP report for selcted parameters.
The Report is working fine and I am able to pass the parameters from OBIEE to BIP but to make BIP Report function correctly. I have to apply same set of Parameters in BIP and they are visible in the header of the BIP Report.
Now the Requirement is to hide those parameters from BIP Report and BIP Report should run for the selected parameters from OBIEE dashboard.. On doing this the values passed from OBIEE are not getting filltered in BIP report and BIP Report is running for all records. Is there an alternate way to achieve this?

if you are on 11.1.1.6 version you can do it i think .
check the link below
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/bi.1111/e22257/whatsnew.htm#CHDCDBCA
Enhancements to Parameter Display Options
Enhancements to parameter display options include:
Support for radio button and check box display of values
Parameters that are defined as a menu in the data model can now be configured to display the menu options as a list of radio buttons or check boxes. Parameters configured to support one value support the option to display as radio buttons. Parameters configured to support multiple values support the option to display as check boxes.
New options for placement of parameters in the report viewer
Previously the report viewer always displayed the parameters in a horizontal region across the top of the viewer. In this release the display of the parameter region can also be configured in one of the following ways:
In a vertical region along the right side of the viewer
As a dialog
As a separate full page
New report viewer action button to show or hide parameters
This release adds an action button to the report viewer to enable users to hide or show the parameter region. This enhancement complements the new parameter display options. When report parameters are configured to display as a dialog or in a separate full page, the parameter display region is dismissed when the viewer displays the report. Use the Parameters button to redisplay the parameter region to make new selections.
Search added to menus
All parameter menus having more than a specified number of options provide a Search option. For more information, see Section 3.3.1.1, "The Parameter Search Dialog."
Option to remove the Apply button
Reports can now be configured to remove the parameter Apply button. In these reports the action of selecting a new parameter value automatically reruns the report.

BIP Report Job History - search by owner

Hi all,
I'm working with BIP for 2-3 years.
At first we installed an old version and we applied patch until 11.1.1.5.5.
Since the 1st version I work with we still have a bug in Report Job History when we try to search by Owner and I'd like to know if we are the only ones with this bug.
I've first made some search with Google, OTN,... but didn't find nothing... that's why I post here.
In Report Job History, if I try to search by owner with a single letter, if this letter is part of my user_name search only retrieve my jobs...
It means
1. My username is 'bill_gates'
2. I want to retrieve all reports executed by an owner which contains letter 'b' i his name.
3. Report Job History will list only my reports, even if I know that some other users (containing letter b) executed reports.
Note that my user_name contains 11 different letters (obviously the most common ones) ...
Could you please tell me if you also have this bug ?
Or even better if you have a workaround
Thank you
Brice

Any suggestion on this issue?

BIP Report in Siebel mobile is not working in languages other than English

Hi,
We have upgraded our Siebel from 7.8 to Siebel 8.1 and in that we have moved from Actuate to BIP Reports. We have created a customized report in which we have put in the Filters on '.rtf' file to show a particular set of data. This report is deployed for 3 languages : English (ENU), Portuguese (PTB) and Spanish (ESN).After deploying this report, on Web application, it is working fine for all the languages but we are facing an issue on mobile client, the report is only working fine in ENU but for other languages(PTB & ESN) it is failing (means the filter which we put on '.rtf' is not working on other languages).
Is anybody face this issue and what will be the solution for this?

Hi
I think you need to first translate the smartform into other languages. Before translation, it wont work.
Steps for translation:
1. goto Transaction SE63
2. in R3 Enterprise select form menu
Translation - ABAP Objects - Other long texts
3. select FS - SSF-Smart Form
4. Object Name: choose your smart form
5. select target language
6. press edit

Is it posible to compare 2 variales in single if statement in BIP report?

Hi,
I want to know following things reg BI Publisher-
1. Is it possible to compare 2 variables in single if statement in BI Publisher report as follows-
<?if: xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'RVal1') = xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'RVal2')?>
2. Is it possible to compare 1 variable with 1 xml tag in single if statement in BI Publisher report?
eg - <?if: ObjId = xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'RVal2')?>
We are having 2groups QuoteItem and QuoteItemXA. QuoteItem is a parent group and QuoteItemXA is a child group of QuoteItem. We want to compare value of field QuoteItemId from QuoteItem group with value of field ObjId from QuoteItemXA group in inner for loop(QuoteItemXA for loop).
We want to display values of one field only when values of these two fields matches. Hence we are taking 1 variable for QuoteItemId and comparing it as follows -
<?if: ObjId = xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'RVal2')?>
The RVal2 variable is already initialized and assigned value of QuoteItemId in outer for loop.
But above for loop is not filtering out any data.
When we tried giving hardcoded values as -
<?if: ObjId = '1-151QGPO' and xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX,'RVal2') = '1-151QGPO'?> then its showing report only for this QuoteItemId.
Please suggest us the solution- how to compare above two fields?
Regards,
Rakesh

hello Rakesh,
Were you able to fix this issue ?
We have a BIP report on the Quote , Line Item and XA entities and we have the same issue with duplication of attributes due to use of Hierarchy parent lKey. I am assuming you would be having the same issue as well; as a result of which XA.ObjId is compared with QLineItem.Id
