Making changes in Reports

Hi every one,
If I have to amend the reports ZSD_XXXX, how do I locate the tables and fields for the relevant descriptions, and make changes.Please explain
Thanks.
VM

Your question is too vague. What do you want to change? Do you want to change the labels on the selection screen, the column headings on the report, or something else. The answer could be that the report program needs to be changed or maybe the data type needs to be changed. You will probably need to get an ABAP resource to help you. What needs to be changed could be in a number of different places. If you want to know the table name, you might be able to put the cursor on the field you want to change and hit F1 and then look at the technical details. It might show you the table name and it might not. It depends on how the program was written. The label and column descriptions could also be hard coded in the program.
Hope it helps,
Brian

Disco Plus - hangs when making changes to reports with lots of worksheets

Have run into this several times and the problem seems to go away sometimes on its own and then reappear at a later date.
Have a report that contains 11 worksheets. Can run any of the worksheets with no issues. However, when making a change to any worksheet, Disco hangs on the edit screens and I eventually receive the message "Contact with the Discoverer server has been lost. To continue your work, please restart Discoverer Plus. If this problem persists, please contact your Oracle Application Server administrator" I have tried restarting Disco Plus several times over the course of several days and still the same issue. I have no problems making changes to this same report through Disco Desktop.
I have also tried moving out the individual worksheets from this report as separate reports and they work fine and can be updated with no issues. This seems to only be a problem when there are many worksheets within 1 workbook.
Would appreciate any assistance.
Disco Plus 10.1.2.54.25

Hi Stephanie,
We have 30,000 employees in our company so i sympathise completely!
You shouldn't need to separate each worksheet and make the change separately. The problem we experience is only in Discoverer Plus. I think it has something to do with the memory allocation on the server, which Plus must use. In Desktop we've found that reports like that are fine. They may take a while to save but in terms of editing reports its ok, because the memory on the machine is being used. If you're having problems in Desktop i'd check your PC spec.
I wouldn't say its a program error, not enough memory on the server more like, particularly as you're saying that sometimes you can't do anything and then other times it all works fine. Have you got lots of Discoverer Plus users in your company? If so try coming into work a little earlier and try it then or at the end of the day. If lots of people are running reports its going to slow down.
It could also be that the DBAs haven't allocated enough memory as DBAs generally don't like Discoverer. They love to blame database/server performance problems on Discoverer. We proved them wrong. On one occasion they blamed a major outage on a report that I was running. It was a big report. But they ran traces, plugged in their diagnostics stuff and got me to run the report. It showed up as this tiny blip, they were so embarassed!!
They just need to intelligently configure stuff, build a good data warehouse etc. I use the word stuff because I don't really know much about servers, warehouses, LPARs etc etc. I do think that quite a few DBAs don't embrace Discoverer because they see it as a hindrance to their jobs. If I was keeping a database up and running I wouldn't want cheeky business users 'playing around' with massive data extracts on my turf!
We have found that sometimes its easier to write a report from scratch in plus than editing it. When you make a change it takes longer to apply it, especially when adding a sort or changing formats. The annoying thing about formatting for us is that we have to use corporate colours, and desktop doesn't do hex values so all our formatting is done in plus.

Tim covered the inline if statement, though not specifically regarding a title, in his blog recently:

The syntax is:
xdoxslt:ifelse(.//WM_FLAG='C’,'Canceled','Approved')

I no longer have access to the back up email address I used when I set up my apple ID. I have since forgotten the answers to my security questions and am having a problem making changes to my account. What can I do?

I no longer have access to the back up email address I used when I set up my apple ID. I have since forgotten the answers to my security questions and am having a problem making changes to my account. What can I do?

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

How to change a report in Manager's Desktop?

Hi all,
i want to change a report in the Manager's Desktop Compensation Management.
Report name: Cost Center
You can see it under this link: [www.starbulls-fotos.de/1.jpg]
When i now run the report i can see the report, but with no selection screen. I only get a finished report with fixed selection parameters
You can see it under this link: [www.starbulls-fotos.de/2.jpg]
How can i change this selection parameters?
In this example i want to change the "Cost Element Group" to an other value.
When i run this report outside of the Manager's Desktop with the transaction code "S_ALR_87013611" i get the selection screen needed and can change the parameters.
It would be great if anyone could help me!
TIA!
strobbel

Hi Strobbel,
Execute your report via the transaction. Check the selection variants on that first selection screen. You will see the default one that came up for you and others that may have been created to default for Managers' Desktop. You can select the one that is appearing with the incorrect cost element group and change it to the correct one. Save the changed selection screen. We also have a transaction ZZBCVARIANT that can be used to change the selection screen variants.
Also, remember, the manager in Managers' Desktop may be limited due to authorizations to see data from only certain cost centers (his own).

Format change when report open in report expert

Hi all,
I am using report builder 6i and I create invoice report I have attached it with oracle ebs 11i and run it from
concurrent manager. Now I have to open my invoice report into report expert software.
when it opens into report experts, It change our report builder fonts and format both.
suppose if item are 1 then invoice total depens upon number of items. so invoice total position is changed
according to the number of items. If 1 items total move up and if more than 1 item total moves down.
In this way my invoice format become changed and total did not maintain in same position.
Thanks

The Format is changed due to sizes of Repeating frames in the report layout as well as the fixed frames.
you can use the border color of the frames to design the report layout.
when your fixed frame is not in lined with the repeating frame objects and the anchor is not applied then the report output in PDF will not be disturbed
while in the Excel format it will be as per the no. of fixed frames/objects in the first line will come in first A1 column of the Excel file ans next in the second and so on...

Unable to Change Main Report Page Orientation in Crystal 10

Hi,
My report has 8 sub reports and every sub report is placed in a report footer section. When I change the page orientation from portrait to landscape, no change in main report. but It does change the sub report paper orientation.
Is it because of the sub reports?
Any Ideas?
Thanks in Advance,
Jyothi

Thanks for the reply.
But I was changing whole report to landscape. When I select Default margins, Main report changed to Landscape, earlier adjust aumomatically option was selected in Page setup dialog.That solved my problem.

Question on changing the report template to display the images

I am trying to change the report template so that each table cell will display an image and a checkbox for the image. The column templatet for the new report template is like this:
<td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER#" class="t17data">
<table>
<tr height="90%"><td>
<img src= "&F101_GET_THUMB.#COLUMN_VALUE#" onmouseover="return onmouseover_img('#COLUMN_VALUE#');">
</td></tr>
<tr height="10%"><td align="center" valign="bottom">
<input type="checkbox" name="f01" value="#COLUMN_VALUE#"/>
</td></tr>
</table>
</td>
My questions are:
1. If the #COLUMN_VALUE# is null, the table cell will display a broken image icon and a checkbox. How could I avoid this? I could add condition to this template, such as when #COLUMN_VALUE# is not null, but how to refer to the value of #COLUMN_VALUE# in pl/sql?
2. I want to always put the checkbox at the center bottom, but no matter what I set "align='center' valign='bottom', it is always close to the image. Since the image sizes are different, the appearance of the checkbox are just up and down. How to fix this?
Thanks,
Fengting

hello,
at designtime the elements from the template are physically
imported into the report. the only way of re-applying a template
is to use the wizard, which will re-default the layout.

Select Resource Manager Essentials > Tools > Syslog > Automated Actions, then select action and enable.

User change log report in Console

Dear Experts,
We have one audit requirement. We need u2018change logu2019 for useru2019s role modification.
I checked in console logs. I found the log for delete user & modify user. In case of delete user it is giving details which are the users had been deleted. But in case of role modify in user, it is not giving which are the users had been modified or which newly role had been assign.
We need change log report from MDM console.
Regards,
Gaurang

Hi Gaurang,
<repositoryAdmin><role action="modify" id="2"><functionRight>
<function>16777216</function><access>1</access>
</functionRight></role></repositoryAdmin>
In this case the role with ID 2 has been modified. The authorization with ID 16777216 (see function ID map below) has been set to 1 (Execute).
Below this section there is one table with function ID and Description.
Here in case of change in functions Tab
<access>X</access> will tell u if the function is set to Execute or None:
Legends:
Execute:1
None:0
and which function u will get from <function>16777216</function>
For decoding the function id there is a table given in section 4.2
and if there is any change in the table and fields tab:
then log will be as follows:
<repositoryAdmin><role action="modify" id="5"><objectRight> <object>1</object><type>0</type><access>2</access>
</objectRight></role></repositoryAdmin>
where access will tell u if its Read Write(3) or Read Only(2)
Which table u will get from <object>ID</object>
Now this role ID and Table ID is the Index values which u can get using API.
Try to write an api which will extract the Table ID ,Field ID and Role ID information in an Excel this u can use as reference the decode the Log.

Neethu Joy

Column name changed in reports

I have to do some changes on my existing report, its really a complex report with more number of columns and tables. now its really hard to fix the alias name changed by report builder automatically. any one could help me to fix this problem, means what i have alias name in query that i want to use in report.

Hi,
Could you pl clarify the Q? Do you mean that Reports Buider has automatically added an alias to a column name? This is not expected.
Or do you mean that you need to change the alias of the column without disturbing the report definition? You can alter the data model of the report using the feature "Customization at runtime using XML". For more information, refer to Chapter 16 in Publishing Reports Manual for 10g:
