Sri,
Can you elaborate what do you want to achieve? Are you talking about plain excel files to be exported to BO?

Migrating IR Reporting to new server

We are moving from an old production Workspace server to a new one. It will be the same version of Hyperion (11.1.2.1) and have the same name - this is simply a Hardware upgrade. The problem is that there will also be a new repository database server. Is there a way to migrate the repository from the old server to the new one?
The issue is this: We have lots of users that have saved Interactive Reports (IR), and if the reports won't run after the migration, there will be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth from our user community. Joking aside, we would very much like to avoid this. We are told that LCM is the proper methodology for migrating - will it also preserve the repository entries so saved IR reports will continue working? If not, what can we do?
thanks,
-pat

LCM is the best way to migrate from environments or even between apps on the same environment. So you shold be fine to:
1. create LCM
2. install new server, hyperion software,
3. restore via LCM
The only issue I could see coming up relates to the ip address which would be different from old to new server, which is why LCM should get around that.
*I haven't used LCM for IR reports specifically, but all for other workspace items: FR, WA reports and user settings are migrated if you chose to do so.
Here are a couple of useful links:

About CONTROL FRAME WORK

Hi experts,
Can anybody give some information about the control frame work in report....it would be gr8 helpful to me...Generally what is the diff. between normal reports ,alv,and control frame work.....
Thanks
KRISNA

Hello Krisna
a very important difference between a "classical" report and an (OO-based) ALV list is that we have a frontend and a backend:
- backend = ABAP program
- frontend = control (e.g. grid control)
The control framework takes care of the synchronization between backend and frontend. For example, when the application passes PBO of a dynpro holding a control the control framework automatically executes CL_GUI_CFW=>FLUSH .
Sometimes we have to call specific methods to trigger this synchronisation. If you have an editable ALV grid you have to call method go_grid->CHECK_DATA_CHANGED in PAI of the dynpro holding the grid control otherwise you will not see the changed values (of the ALV list) in the internal table of your ABAP program.
Another important method of the control framework is CL_GUI_CFW=>SET_NEW_OK_CODE. If the user executes an ALV toolbar function we never pass PAI of the dynpro. However, sometimes you would like to do that. In this case you can call CL_GUI_CFW=>SET_NEW_OK_CODE which will set a new ok-code and trigger PAI after finishing execution of the toolbar function.
For more details please refer to the SAP documentation

I can't open the vi in the moment. But by your description I think that I know the solution.
When you build the executable you've to add dinammically the vi's from report generator that aren't in your main vi hierarchy. So, you've to open the vi's and find those that are open trough "open vi reference" and add them dinamicaly.
And don't know if these tips are enough.
From NI Zvezdana S.
"When you use the Report Generation Toolkit to build a stand-alone application with the Application Builder, you must add _Word Dynamic VIs.vi from _wordsub.llb and _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi from _exclsub.llb as dynamic VIs. These two VIs contain subVIs that are called dynamically by the high-level Report Generation VIs. I believe that if you grab these VIs from the (desired office version part of the) installation CD instead of from the development machine, then everything should work. "

How to Extract data from a Request management tool to Apex to avoid working on Excel reports

Client uses a ticketing tool,I donot know what is the database for the tool,but I would like to know the best way to extract data from the tool to pex so that we can eliminate working on Excel reports.These excel reports are basically the open request log,resolved tickets,aging tickets etc,currently we work on many excel reports,can we achieve this in Apex ,if so how do we achieve this.Then we would like to use this report and prepare multiple charts,how the above two requirements can be mapped.

A very important function for the system will be - one sends an email in certain format to a dummy email address, then some data will be extracted from the email based on the pre-defined format and inserted into the database my APEX application is using.
Any idea on how I can make it happen please? I agree that this is not really an Apex question, but a more general PL/SQL question.
There are many approaches, all boiling down to one of these two:
1) Push: Some process in the mail server sends/forwards information to your database when new mail arrives.
The language/tools used to do this, and the way it would connect to your database, depends on your environment (what is your operating system? mail server? existing middleware/tools? security protocols used? etc.).
2) Pull: Some process in the database contacts the mail server and polls for new information.
Ie. some PL/SQL code would communicate with the mail server. Again, it depends on your environment (what is your operating system? mail server? existing middleware/tools? security protocols used? etc.).
For example, if you are using Exchange 2007 or newer, it has a web services API:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd877045.aspx
The challenge here will be to build the correct SOAP requests from PL/SQL, and to handle the security protocols used.

BEx formula change not working in existing Analysis for Olap/Analysis for Excel reports

Hello all,
I posted this in Analysis for OLAP, but there has been no response so I'm hoping perhaps you BEx experts can help me.
I had to modify a formula in a Bex query to have it calculate the results of the formula by summation.
I checked the query using BEx Analyzer and it summed correctly. If I create a new analysis for olap report, it sums correctly.
If I modify an existing report, it does not pick up the change. Existing Analysis for Excel reports also do not pick up the new summary calculation.
Using the CMC, I edited the connection and reselected the Bex query, but that did not work either.
Here it is working in the query:
Line Discount is a formula with logic checking to see if "product list price total amount" is 0, set the line discount to 0; otherwise calculate it as "product list price total amount" - Net Sale. So the total needs to sum of the line discounts (0+2820+2820 = 5640) and not be the Overall result "product list price total amount" - Overall Result "net sale" (13960-96720= -82760).
Here it is in an existing Webi report - working:
Here is what is happening in an existing Analysis for OLAP report - not working:
I also tried to unselect Line Discount as a key figure from the existing report and reselect it, but that did not work.
I'd like to find a solution so that all the reports that use this query won't have to be rewritten.
I'm on BW 7.0 EP 1 SP 10 and BI 4.0 SP7 Patch 5.
Thank you for your help,
Susan

Hi,
Apply Exception aggregation on line discount formula--Exception aggregation as Total---Reference characteristic as Promega product.
Make sure to refresh the webi report once after the changes has been done.
If this does not work then you can apply summation calculation for that column at webi level as well.

Missing Discoverer reports after migrating the EUL to new Database.

Our Environment is Discoverer Relational- OLTP
We have recently migrated the source database from Oracle 9.2.0.6 to 10.2.00.0 RAC, this made us to migrate the Discoverer to new database in production.
Below are the database objects we migrated to new database.
1. EUL schema
2. Schemas referred by the Objects in the EUL (schemas containing functions, tables, views etc)
3. Based on trigger we created to filter active discoverer database accounts, migrated only active database users to new database.
Note: we had almost 4000 Discoverer users from 2005, since many of these users moved out of company or not using discoverer permanently, and there are users who used discoverer once in year or once in 6 months.
Finally we come up with 300 Active Discoverer users to be migrated to new database.
Issues: After migration
Some of the migrated users did not get their reports migrated which are shared by other users? [Since we didn’t migrate these users schemas as they are not active].
We have queried the EUL5_DOCUMENTS table in new database for a particular inactive users account (account which is not migrated) is not showing any reports owned by him.
Since we have migrated EUL schema and active users new database, is this will effect the EUL, [Information related to non active users gets deleted from the EUL in New Database]
Some users who are not figured in the active migrated list are requesting to get access to discoverer on new database. Can you please suggest the correct way to migrate these accounts.
Exporting the accounts will work?
Thanks in advance.

Migrating Crystal Reports Server XI to a new Server

Post Author: david_okeefe
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi,I am trying to migrate an existing Crystal Reports installation from an old server to a new server. To prevent interruption of service, the new server must be able to be online at the same time as the old server (thus it must have a different name). I installed Crystal Reports Server XI and told it to create its CMS database by copying the existing CMS database. Unfortunately, I received an unspecified error ("failed to received first object from source database"). After that, I opted to create a new, default CMS database. I tried using the import wizard to migrate the reports to the new server. The import wizard managed to bring over all of the folders, users, and groups, but not any of the reports. When I looked at the migration log, it gave me an error stating that it could not find the parent folder. I have no real idea how to address this issue. On a related note, I also do not know how to point crystal at the reports repository on the new server. I tried using the Data Source Migration wizard to copy the reports from the old server to the new server. Unfortunately, it didn't appear to register any of the new reports. Given what I have already tried, I am not sure how to proceed.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks,David

Does new Thread(this) work for a Frame class?

package MThreads;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class ThreadFrame extends Frame implements Runnable
{   Button btnNew = new Button("New");
Thread aThread = null;
public ThreadFrame()
{ /* nothing in here */}
public void run()
{ /** does stuff */ }
btnNew.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter()
{ public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
     { aThread = new Thread(this);
     aThread.start();
The line aThread = new Thread(this); does not compile.
error is "can't convert MThreads.ThreadFrame.1 to java.lang.String"
Anyone got a clue??
Thanks
Nancy

You've just created an anonymous inner class new MouseAdapter. "this" now points to an instance of MouseAdapter and not Frame as you think.
package MThreads;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.lang.*;
public class ThreadFrame extends Frame
     implements Runnable {
     Button btnNew = new Button("New");
     Thread aThread = null;
     final Runnable frame;
     public ThreadFrame() {
          frame = this;
     public void run() {
          btnNew.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
               public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
                    aThread = new Thread(frame);
                    aThread.start();
}Hope this helps you.

Excel report generation error

Hi,
Does anyone have experienced (and solved) this behaviour?
I've been using the report generation toolkit to build word report without
problem. I've also solved a lot of problems in the excel part of the toolkit
(e.g. building graphs with >20000 points). It finally works in development
environment.
Now when I install the executable (, with the installer) the word reports
still work, but the excel report don't. The executable does run on a
different system, but the excel versions are the same (both Excel 2000).
I have copied the excel library in the data directory of the executable.
The following error is generated:
-2147319784
Old format or invalid type library
Excel_Open.vi
This is the first report generation vi that is called. I us
e it to open a
template.
Any help is appreciated.
Wiebe.

Hi,
Surfing the internet, I found this comment:
*Start quote*
Sometimes you'll find that a parameter is required that isn't mentioned
anywhere in the application's documentation. This happens when you need to
specify system information: the chief example of this is the lcid, which is
a locale identifier, and which pops up all over the place in Excel. The good
news is that there is a constant in the Windows unit which provides you with
the correct value, LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT:
var
lcid: integer;
begin
lcid := LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT;
Excel.Visible[lcid] := True;
There's also a function, GetUserDefaultLCID, but using that value can cause
an error, complaining about an 'old format or invalid type library' on some
setups. Using LOCALE_USER_DEFAULT for the
LCID value should fix that.
*End quote*
Could this be the problem?
Regards,
Wiebe.

Excel report generation does not exit excel

I am using the excel report generator to save test reports. I can create the report using a template and write to it when needed with no problems. After every test step I add data and save the report. I keep excel closed by using the no change setting for the window state. I do not want the user to see excel or even know it is there.
The issue is when I am done testing and use the dispose report vi, it leaves an instance of excel open that you can see in the task manager. And the only way to close that instance is to open one of the files that was created and close it and then exit excel. The memory used by that instance grows a little each time a new file is created.
Labview 2011 SP1 (11.0.1.F2 32bit)
Excel 2007
How can I close excel completely after each test?

I find it very hard to believe that this function isn't somewhere in the report generation toolkit. But my 30 second look for it came up with nothing. So instead I wrote a function that does a task kill for you. Keep in mind this only works in Windows, and this will do the same thing as a end task in Taskmanager so only use it when you are sure your are done saving all reporting. Saved in 2011.

Issue with excel report generated by Crystal Report

Dear support center,
I am trying to evaluate the crystal report package available through the VS2005 Pro edition for an application at work. I am new to Crystal Reports and using CR 10 on my system.
Here is a visual image of my report format. I use a dataset to flood the report.
