Metadata Management Custom Reports

Does anyone know where there is documentation on configuration or usage of the Metadata reports available in Information Steward?
I am prompted for login credentials to the repository but nothing that I try works. To make things worse, it seems to cause Tomcat to shut down.
In the versions of Metadata Management used with Business Objects XI3.1, you had to go to the reports to configure the JDBC connections for the reports. I can't find any documentation on where the reports are stored much less on how to configure the connection to the Metadata Management repository database.
I am running Information Steward 4.2sp2 hosted on Information Platform Services 4.1sp3.

hi Phani,

Tip: adding metadata for customized reporting

Users sometimes build their own custom reports around dimensions specific to their company. For example, a bank may want to know about financial data elements that are high priority, but violate completeness rules. You can do this with Data Insight 11.5.1.1.
Simply have your Data Insight administrator choose weights, dimensions, priorities, and so on in their Data Insight UI. All of the users can choose Rule Classifications when they edit/create a rule and specify the appropriate items. This metadata is stored in the repository, which you can easily query for custom reports.
For more details, check the Data Insight User's Guide. Enjoy!

Hi,
I hope you wont mind me asking for the steps on how to do this.
The customized data source which i had obtained from the ecc6 is zskat. And the local language which are actually being maintained in the R/3 FI-GL. The following fields in zskat datasource are:
KTOPL     Chart of Accounts
MCOD1     Search Term for Matchcode Search
SAKNR     G/L Account Number
SPRAS     Language Key
TXT20       G/L account short text
TXT50       G/L Account Long Text
If i am not wrong, SPRAS would be the key to the language right? I found that it is in the table T002, but again, how would i know which one would be the correct text?
Since the language translation had been maintained in the source system, i guess i wont need to use the flat file option do i?
Should I find the text data from the source system and load as you had advised? Should I do it through DTP and so on?
Could you show me some steps by steps if possible? Simple one if possible.
Cheers
Tommy

How to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata

Hi,
I want to ask for help on how to create custom report plugin using child region report metadata. My idea is to create a child region, a classic report and set the condition to never.
Then i will query the child report metadata from apex view and use it to create a custom report like using jquery jq-grid. Any idea how i can create a process that will use the child report
metadata? I dont know how i can create a process just like how apex work, how apex render report, coz i want it to be control using the standard apex report attribute. This plugin will
render according to the child report attribute.
Is there anybody here had ever done this?

Hi Nicolette,
Thanks for the reply. I know where to find the metadata, just asking for idea on how the rendering process will be.
Start from determining column heading, column order until finish rendering the report. The same way how apex
render the classic report.
Previously this imy my rendering process:
FUNCTION GETCOLUMN(P_REGION IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_REGION,
                     P_PLUGIN IN APEX_PLUGIN.T_PLUGIN,
                     P_VALUE IN VARCHAR2) RETURN SYS.DBMS_SQL.DESC_TAB2 IS
    VSQLHANDLER     APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.T_SQL_HANDLER;
    VCOLCOUNT       NUMBER;
    VCOLNAMES       VARCHAR2(2000);
    VAJAXIDENTIFIER VARCHAR2(100);
    VPAGESIZE       TYPEATTR := P_REGION.ATTRIBUTE_04;
    VJSCODE         VARCHAR2(32767);
BEGIN
    VSQLHANDLER := APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.GET_SQL_HANDLER(P_SQL_STATEMENT => 'select * from s_emp',
                                                    P_MIN_COLUMNS    => 1,
                                                    P_MAX_COLUMNS    => 999,
                                                    P_COMPONENT_NAME => P_REGION.ID);
    VCOLCOUNT := VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST.COUNT();
    FOR I IN 1 .. VCOLCOUNT LOOP
      VCOLNAMES := VCOLNAMES || '{name: "' ||
                   UPPER(VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST(I).COL_NAME) || '",';
    END LOOP;
    APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
    RETURN VSQLHANDLER.COLUMN_LIST;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
      APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.FREE_SQL_HANDLER(VSQLHANDLER);
      RAISE;
END GETCOLUMN;
So this is how i get the header for my report plugin. The same method is use to get the value / data for each column. This process is work. So now
i want to extend my plugin so that i will use all attributes from the child report to render my plugin. So the column header, column order, all will depend
on the child report. And the column display condition is set, it will also check the condition before render the column. Sounds like i want to reinvent
the normal apex rendering process but this is what i want to achieve.
I need help to find the correct logic for my render process. Don't want too much for starting, just want to render the plugin correctly, same with child report,
same columns alias, column ordering and column conditional display.
Thanks,
akulala

Custom reports for servers managed by administrators

Hi,
I'm trying to create a report using the report builder but I need some helps. First I have added the attribute "Managedby" in my system discovery method.
Now i want to create a report that display the server name, the OS, and the managed by attribute. How can I do that ?
any helps ?

Here are few links that should get you started with reporting:
http://www.scconfigmgr.com/2014/01/24/create-custom-reports-for-configmgr-2012-with-report-builder/
https://sccmgeekdiary.wordpress.com/2012/10/29/sccm-2012-reporting-for-dummies-creating-your-own-ssrs-reports/
Basically you need to find out where the ManagedBy -data is stored, probably in v_R_System like noted here:

Order Management seeded reports based on customer party relationships??

Hi All:
We have a requirement where our customers are associated to the buying groups/management companies. We are creating a party of type "Organization" for the buying groups and management companies and associating all the customers to these buying groups as party relationships. Ideally this client looks for all the sales reporting for the customers associated to these buying groups/management companies at the end of the month to pay them the royalities/commissions.
So are there any oracle seeded reports(order details) which we can run based on the buying group/management company party and their party relationships with the customers or do we need to write the custom reports??
Please let me know.
Best Regards,
Prashanthi Chennupati.

Dear Venkata Chalapathi,
Following is the logic for your requirement.
If the check is on the basis of payment terms of pending billing documents alone, then
check DYNAMIC with Reaction C/D and Status 'checked'
Then maintain the same settings against OLDEST OPEN ITEM with Days oldestItem = 0
Now, make a sales order and system will trigger the credit check message (assuming there are uncleared documents )
Ask your abaper to find an Exit/Enhancement in this message spot and you can write a logic to check the
billing documents in BSEG by fetching the document types with 'RV' (assuming we are considering only the billing documents)
and in the VBRK get the billing date and we can get the payment term in vbrk-zterm and its corresponding date in T052-ZTAG1
If the billing date + T052-ZTAG1 value is greater than SYSTEM date , then you have to trigger the credit check message in the sales order. Else allow the sales order.
Check and revert back if there is any doubt/additional requirements.
Thanks & Regards,
Hegal K Charles

New customized report using PLD or QUERY PRINT LAYOUT to show customers onl

I am working with a Software Developing firm as an SAP Consultant.
Please tell me how to create a new customized report displaying various details as required by the client in the report using PLD or Query Print Layout.
Please help me asap.

Hi,
You can create queries using the Query Generator or the Query Wizard tools.
After you have created your own queries, you can link them to a required print layout.
for user reports.Look at:
Tools --> Queries --> Query Print Layout
Set there your query reports.
Printing User-Defined Queries
After you had linked a user-defined query to a user report template, you can now print it
according to its linked print layout.
There are two ways for printing your user-defined queries.
1. Using the Query Print Layout window:
Select from the upper menu Tools 􀃆 Queries 􀃆 Query Print Layout.
Click the Reports tab page.
Click to highlight the required query you would like to print.
Click on the printer icon or select from the upper menu File 􀃆 Print.
The user-defined query is printed according to its linked print layout.
2. Using the Queries Manager window:
Click the Queries Manager icon on the upper tool bar.
Click to highlight the required query you would like to print.
Click on the printer icon or select from the upper menu File 􀃆 Print.
The user-defined query is printed according to its linked print layout.
Note! You can also print preview user-defined queries. Do so by selecting the Print
Preview option as described in the methods above for printing your query.
Btw, you could search the manual training files relate to query PLD in http://www.service.sap.com/smb

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.

Hi,
What is the type of the report? Is it bitmap? If yes, please make sure that the DISPLAY is set properly. Also, change the report type to text and see if you can submit the request successfully.

Error creating custom reports. Permissions issue with custom reports

I am having permission issues with reports. I am building a new Configuration Manager 2012 infrastructure and I have configured the Site server on Server1 and the DB is on Server2. Server2 also hosts the Reporting Point and SSRS roles/features. If
I look in Monitoring at the Site Status and Component Status are all green no issues with the setup.
Running SQL 2008 SP2 (no CUs). I have a service account that I used to install Configuration Manager and SQL. This service account is running the SQL service on Server2 and i am using the same account as the Reporting Services Point Account.
I log into the SCCM console with a different user account, lets call it Admin1. This account is a member of the Full Administrator role. I can run any built in report.
When I open the SSRS website and try to create a custom report I connect the DataSource using Windows Authentication. So the Datasource is connecting using the logged in users account. In this case Admin1. I test the connection and it connects fine.
I test this query. (Select * from v_R_System) I only have about 10 workstations discovered so the report shouldn’t be very big. I get an error “The Select permission was denied on the object ‘v_R_System’, Database ‘CM_XXX’, schema ‘dbo’. (Microsoft sql server,
Error: 229)”
I have fixed the SELECT permission error by going into the database (using SQL Management studio) and granting Admin1 Select rights to the Configuration Manager database. I can now run the above query and make custom reports.
My 2<sup>nd</sup> problem is that other members of the Full Administrator role cannot run these custom reports unless I go into the database and grant them the SELECT permission.
Question:
Should I have to manually go into the database to add SELECT permissions(i could use a group)? shouldnt Configuration Manager take care of this for me?
Maybe the built in reports use the SQL service account rights and the custom ones do not? Am I doing something wrong with the Datasource when I create these custom reports?
What is the correct process for creating custom reports?

I think i am getting closer to a solution. After the Custom report is created. i can go back into the report. Delete the DataSource. Then browse for a dataSource. there is a datasource located in http://server2/reportserver/ConfigMgr_XXX/
That datasource is used by all builtin reports. if you view the properties on the Credentials tab it is set to "do not use credentials" and the option is greyed out / cannot be changed.
it looks like i still need the SELECT permissions on the database to create the report initially but at least i have solved the problem with viewing these reports.
Can anyone confirm that what i did is correct?
