Matrix layout and spreadsheet output 10g r2 reports

I'm currently developing a couple reports in 10g r2 and using the spreadsheet desformat. It works rather nicely but when I try it on a matrix layout it moves the matrix column(s) over the first cell of the spreadsheet instead of over the matrix cell. Is there a way to correct this issue or a property that I have to set?

Hi,
I've recently installed 10gR2 and am interested in using the DESFORMAT=spreadsheet for some existing reports. I've generated the report successfully, however the output in Microsoft Excel look awful - a lot of empty cells. When generated as 'pdf', 'htm' it looks good in the browser.
Did you do anything speciaI to maintain the format? Were you reports generated from scratch? Is there any reference docs avail (the online-help is pretty vague)...
I'd appreciate any info that would help get this working (for existing reports).

Function to get the layout and variant info of a report

Hi ,
I have report zmm4. I have created a variant 'var1' .
The output format of the report is defined in the layout
'lay1'. Which is the function which gives the complete info about the displaying coulmns of those layout ? because I need replicate these functionality in EP .
Please don't say USE "SAP transaction Iviews'.
any hint is appreciated
thanks
pkiran

Hi Prashant,
Does your report should look like portal format? or is it ok if you show SAP report in portal then easiest would be having a layout variant in the report selection.
Assuming you are using ALV display. Specify the layout variant 'lay1' and save the variant 'var1'.
Create Iview using SAP Transaction Iview and pass the Tcode - 'Start_Report'
Application Parameters - D_SREPOVARI-REPORT=ZMM4 & D_SREPOVARI-VARIANT = VAR1.
Choose option process first screen.
Other suggestion would be to create a function module which is RFC enabled and pass the report values in the specified format to the FM output table and use SAP RFC IVIEW and report would look in portal format.
You can also use com.sap.pct.srv.portaldataviewer par file and choose PortalALVTemplate. PortalALVTemplate is FM in R3 and gives u an idea how you can present the ALV report in Portal.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Praveen

How to get an effective EXCEL Spreadsheet as output for Oracle report 10g

Hi All,
I am a newbie in Oracle reporting. I am using 10g. I have an oracle report whose output format is PDF from the user interface. User asked for Spreadsheet output. I changed the JAVA CODE "desformat" = Spreadsheet and got the report in Excel. But this report is not as expected as it has many blank cells, misplacements etc and looks really ugly. so Is there anyway to get an excellent spreadsheet as output.
If anybody needs any more information on this, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much Marwim. Your suggestion is very helpful. But I have some other Oracle reports which have only one .rdf file giving output in both pdf and Excel. This doubt might be silly. Almost same features were existing for the rdf what I am working now. For the remaining reports, it was given that DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET , what this report lacks. I googled and found these links http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13895_01/orbr_paptoexcel.htm &
http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13895_01/orbr_paptoexcel.htm#CIHFDJAJ . But they are not intended for excel output. they generate only web layout in spreadsheet form. Could you please suggest any other ways to achieve this.
Thank you in advacne.

Hello,
The answer is in the Migration FAQ :
When I open an Oracle6i Reports Developer report in the Oracle Reports Builder 10g and run my Web layout, I get an empty Web page in my browser.

Help desiging a 10g Oracle Report with Matrix and Lexical Parameters - Long

Hello all:
I apologize in advance for this long post.... I'm using Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4.0.33). First -- the question:
I need to create a Matrix where the rows come from one database table
(TABLE1) and the columns and cell contents come from a linked query (pulled from TABLE2) that is generated with lexical parameters based on the current TABLE1 row. The lexical parameters contain a WHERE clause for the TABLE2 query. Basically, I have a linked query between TABLE1 and TABLE2. I need to generate a Matrix around it.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?
Here's the background on the application, if that is helpful...
I have an application where I maintain database tables containing names/addresses along with information pertaining to them. As part of the processing, I need to produce reports that contain statistics based on values in the table. For example, each row has a field RTYPE that identifies the Record Type (1-Suppress, 2-Buyer, 3-Inquirer). Each row also has a last purchase date field. The statistics produced for this field would look like this:
          2001     2002     2003     11/03     12/03 01/04     02/04 03/04     04/04     05/04 ...
Buyer      100 150 250 30 25 15 8 9 22 83
Inquirer     1000 800 493 ...
Suppress ... ...
Totals ... ...
Each cell contains the count of the number of records that have the corresponding RTYPE and Last Purchase date. The dates across the top are determined by the most recent purchase date in the file. We count the last 12 months, month by month, and then anything older than that is grouped by
year of purchase. So, the column headings are variable.
The SQL query for this example looks like this:
SELECT CASE WHEN rtype = '2' THEN 'Buyers'
WHEN rtype = '3' THEN 'Inquirers'
WHEN rtype = '1' THEN 'Suppress'
END HLDESC,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYYMM')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYY') || '00'
END YYMM_8,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'MM/YY')

There might be a better way to write this, but that isn't the issue at the moment.
I have many different tables, each with different fields. I need to produce counts on each of those fields. Some of those fields have a limited number of values where I need to count the occurrences and attach a description (like the RTYPE counts above). Others, like Last Purchase Amount, require counts within ranges (between 0 and 9.99, 10 and 19.99, etc.). Still others are "multiple choice"-style fields (such as products purchased), where we have multiple single-char flags that are not null when the corresponding products are purchased. In this case, we need to produce statistics that look like this:
          2001     2002     2003     11/03     12/03 01/04     02/04 03/04     04/04     05/04 ...
Product 1 .........
Product 2 .........
The worst of the bunch is a field where I need to count the occurrence of each value within it (hundreds of values) without entering descriptions, so I don't know how many rows will appear ahead of time. This is used for "source codes" that identify where the name/address came from. They look similar to the RTYPE above, but the leftmost column contains each value from the field rather than a description. There are so many possible values and they change so often that it isn't feasible to enter a description for each one.
Right now, I manually create an Oracle Report for each table when I design/load it. This is becoming difficult to manage, since I have over 150 of them now. Each of these reports can have any number of matrices to display (the largest right now has about 25).
The new table structure to generate these reports consists of two tables: A COUNTHDR table and a COUNTROW table. The COUNTHDR table represents a single Matrix within the report. It contains info such as a heading for the Matrix and whether column totals should be calculated or not. The COUNTROW table contains a description for each row and an SQL Fragment that contains an appropriate WHERE clause to match the description. In the event of a "source code" style count, COUNTHDR has the name of the field to count. COUNTROWs won't exist, so I'll be handling those counts differently. But, ignoring that issue for now, the report structure looks like this:
+ Q1 +
|
+ COUNTHDR +
|
+ COUNTROW +
| linked query
+ Q2 +
|
+ COUNTDTL +
Q2 is the query with lexical parameters for the table and "where clause" that identifies the actual statistic I need counted. I need fields from COUNTROW and COUNTDTL to form a Matrix.
Can this be done? How?
Of course, if anyone out there has a better idea on how to achieve my goal of not writing a report per table, please let me know!! :-)
TIA
Eric Raskin
PS. This structure does not exactly duplicate my original query, since multiple Matrix rows are created by the single SQL query given in the example. Instead, I'll end up executing an SQL query for each row, which is less than desirable. The design will need some tweaking...
PPS. I have tried handling this problem by pre-counting the target table and storing the results in a COUNTCOL table, containing the details of the matrix. This actually does work, but the performance is terrible. I have one "source code"-style count that generated over 20,000 detail cells, including all the "0" cells needed to fill out the matrix. If you don't generate the "0" cells, you get holes in the matrix presentation and/or error messages (which I can explain if you wish). I never did get Oracle Reports to print this one -- I gave up after an hour of runtime on a P4 3GHz machine connected via Gigabit Ethernet to the server. Hence the attempt to push the SQL Queries back into the Oracle Report itself.

w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
troubleshooting
1.Test each parameter separate first - each work ?
2.Use code above, rerig it, create multiple parameter
3.try again...
hope this helps...

Can't generate SPREADSHEET output in Reports 10.1.2.0.2

We are using Reports 10.1.2.0.2. I want to generate in my (Not deployed in the AS) PC a simple tabular report but in spreadsheet format. I use this command line command in a batch file.
d:\OracleDevR1\bin\rwrun.exe    USERID=user1/user123@db1
    REPORT=c:\temp\rpt_10gr2_101202_1.rep
    DESFORMAT=spreadsheet
   DESTYPE=FILE
DESNAME=c:\temp\rpt_10gr2_101202_1_excel_output.xls   I get this error in the log file
REP-0826: Invalid printer driver
'spreadsheet' specified by parameter
DESFORMAT.However, I can generate DESFORMAT=HTML, DESFORMAT=PDF output. The HTML and PDF files are created.
What is the problem here?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I even installed Excel 2007 but still gives the same error.

Hi,
this is very weird as it should work fine in 10.1.2.0.2. I tested rwrun with desformat=spreadsheet on Windows and on Linux with base release (10.1.2.0.2) and it worked fine so not sure what is happening with your environment.
My only suggestions would be as follow
1- Make sure you are using a report with paper layout and no web layout
2- Aapply patchset 10.1.2.3 and re-try.

Regards, RobertoSorry Roberto, I have mistakenly used the 10G release 1 EXE. When I use my 10g R2 exe we can generate spreadsheet format. BUT, the spreadsheet is useless for complex reports. The excel sheet is not readable since lots of blank lines added and also lots of blank columns added. No images also there that is found in the PDF output. So, it's not WYSIWYG type output.
We are now trying to patch the 10g r2 to 10.1.2.3 and use the ENHANCEDSPREADSHEET format.

Report fonts mapping and PDF output problem(Easten European languages)

Hi experts,
I have such a problem.
If i run oracle reports(10g) via reports builder all layouts looks fine.
When i run them in PDF format via application server - report text and numbers strech out off frames, also textfields and text itself becomes bigger in size.
Aplication server runs over windows OS.
Uifont.ali file looks:
[ PDF:Subset ]
Arial..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"
Arial...Bold.. = "Arialbd.ttf"
Arial..Italic... = "Ariali.ttf"
Arial..Plain... = "Arial.ttf"
Arial..... = "Arial.ttf"
"Times New Roman"...Bold.. = "TIMESBD.TTF"
"Times New Roman"..Italic... = "TIMESI.TTF"
"Times New Roman"..... = "TIMES.TTF"
I think the problem is with Lithuanian(baltic) letters in the text. If i do not map fonts in uifont.ali file i get PDF report without the
lithuanian alphabet letters, but in this case it looks fine(The same as in report builder)
After fonts mapping, i get my lithuanian alphabet letters, but text and numbers strech out off frames, changes the size and etc.
I put the example of my report uotput:
http://pirmas.50webs.com/index.html
What else can i do to solve this problem?
Thanks for any suggestions

PS report S_ALR_87013558 - add layout for alv output

Hi Friends
In Standard report of PS S_ALR_87013558 I hav to add a selection screen field for selecting layout and accordingly the ALV layout will be displayed. Can it be achieved by enhancing, or we need to copy the report and modify and configure or is there any other way to do it.
Thanks
Moumita

Hi,
I think that can be achived through the dynamic selections to add fields to the dynamic selector you check the transaction CATS_SELVIEW press f4 on name of view and select standard then display you can see all functional groups, tables, table fields. Assign the respective according to your critaria.

Change of Layout/Look and Feel in BI 7 Reports.

Hi,
This is Prem from NetWeaver Portals.
Currently we have a couple of BI 7.0 reports integrated into portal.
We have also used Portal Themes to alter the Look and Feel of the BI reports with respect to Heading colors, alternate row colors etc. But the scope of changing the Look and feel of BI reports from the Portal theme is very limited.
Is there a way to modify it further from BI's CSS?
Where is this functionality provided in SAP BI 7.0?
We are also interested in changing the Layout of the reports in BI. i.e. unlike the standard BI format of reports as generated from the Web Application designer, we would like to change the layout as well.
How is this layout change carried out? Web Templates?
Kindly spell out a solution for me as I'm not aware of BI
Thanks and Regards,
Prem

Could yo please explain little detial. how do you changed the look and feel of reports through the portal themes. We are trying to change the colors of the execptions and text box and some more. we have created a custom theme in which we changed the complex formatted table crictal, bad, good colors. when we assigned this theme through personalization to the user, custom theme colors are not seen in the BW report.
Please let us know
thanks and regards

How to push a button, run a report, and open output in new windows?

I have an application where I want to present the user with a form, have them enter their report parameters, and then press a go button. I would then like to display a progress bar. The report will generate both a PDF and HTML output. When the report is complete, I want to display each one of these outputs in their own browser window.
How do I do this?

You want to retrieve two responses? Then you'll have to invoke two requests simultaneously. You can make this possible with a Javascript window.open call in the onclick attribute of the commandButton. E.g.
<h:commandButton
    value="submit"
    action="#{myBean.submit}"
    onclick="window.open('pdfServlet?param1=value1&param2=value2');" />Where the bean action just returns the HTML (JSF) result and the onclick fires a servlet, if neccessary supplied with request parameters so that it knows what PDF it need to generate.

Report Layout and Report Query APEX tables

Does anyone know a quick way to delete report layouts and report queries from the APEX tables that they are stored in. We currently have to go into the shared components area and delete them one by one using the builder. If we could just get the table that they are stored in and delete them by name, that would be extremely useful. Oracle does not support this type of data manipulation.
Thanks,
Andrew

Hi,
There are Top and Bottom – Left and Top and Bottom – Right.
I suppose that you have something wrong in the SQL Query or in the report.
Make a new report using the wizard. Then use Report Template – Standard and Top and Bottom – Left.

Layout and euro sign in reports 2.5

Well my problem is that I can't get a good layout of my reports when I use
different printers .My developing printer is a Xerox DC 220, and I use also a
hp laserjet4 plus driver . I can't get a Standaard layout for printing my
reports.I am daying to layout each report for each printer and as we have many
customers it's not smart to make many layouts for each customer .
Is there any way or method to make a Standaard reports layout for differnt
printers?? another problem is I can't get an Euro sign when I print my reports
I got a patch from Microsoft site just for Euro (on windows NT 4.0)but it
doesn't work !!!!!
I am using reports 2.5 release(2.5.5.2.7) on a windows NT 4.0 ,build nr(1381)
service pack (6.0) my oracle database is 7.3.4
My printer is Xerox DC 220 and hp laserjet 4 plus driver
Well the main problem is the layout I can't get a WYSISWYG layout !! it's
really annoying to get something on my screen or preview and when I print it
I see something totally different ...
when I get a proper layout from my printer and send it to my customer they get
something else as layout .. I am using a default prt file in all my reports.
we have using a windows NT 4.0 with a service pack 6.0 and an euro patch from
microsoft but still doesn't work !! however when i use windows98 it works just fine !!

Double-click on the field on the layout and write something like:
if <condition> then return false;
in the field 'Format trigger' to the bottom of the dialog.

How to layout a subreport based on main report and another subreport!

Hello all,
I got an issue how to capture the value at a run time and loop through group in Crystal Report. My project is complicated (main report and sub report using stored procedure with parameters as datasource and a lot of formula fields pass between main report to sub report, but I try to explain it as simple scenario as following:
School 1
Main report layout: (Group by Class)
===============================================
Class A
Sub report: ( This result from the stored procedure at run time and only having two rows when running stored procedure)
Boy : 200
Girl : 150
================================================
Class B
Sub report
Boy: 50
Girl: 100
=================================================
Class C
Sub report
Boy: 259
Girl: 80
Please pay attention on the above layout what I am done on reports. My question is how to produce another report that used the previous values and having the following layout:
School Summary
Class | Boys | Girls | Student
A        |   200    | 150   |     350
B        |     50    | 100   |     150
C        |   260    |    80   |     340
Please give me some ideas how to solve above problem. I know that Crystal Report can use shared variables via formula fields. I am wondering whether or not how to capture the specific value at the run time? Is it posible to make it working in Crystal Report or I have to write a stored procedure in the backend??? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
When we look at your report lay out, for each class group you have boys and girls count which is coming from sub report.
I think you placed the sub report in the Class group and linked with Class. If that is the case you will get all information in the sub report itself.
In the sub report, create a running total with shared variables and bring this value to main report to display at the end of the report.
Eg: To get Class from sub report to main report :
Whileprintingrecords;
Shared stringvar class;
class:=classchar(13);
Place this formula in your sub report group and create one more formula
Whileprintingrecords;
Shared stringvar class;
class;
Place this formula in your main report report footer, this will bring your classes into main report. Follow the same process for boys and girls numbers.
Thanks,
Sastry
