MSS and BW Reporting

Hello - does any one have any experience with MSS and BW reporting?
We have a requirement to implement BW reports to Line Managers through MSS.
For R/3 Reports we have no issue as we can use the standard structural authorisation function module to restrict access to empoyees directly reporting to the manager.
How can we restrict BW reports in the same way? i.e. When Manager runs the report they should only see data about the employees that report to them in the Org structure.
We are using BW 7.0.

Hi Mike,
Did You implement this scenario. Even we are trying to do the same.
I am kind of no clue about which authorizations a manager needs in BW system.
We are using EP6.0 SP16 and backend system is ECC5.0.
I have couple of questions.
1. What authorizations in BW system the portal user (Me with content admin, system admin, user admin roles) needs to view the BW reports or BW iviews?
2. Manager (MSS) can not view crystal reports in the work set 'Reporting' assigned to a manager in ECC5.0. Other iviews within the BP60.1 are working fine.
3. When manager tried to see a crystal report , it threw an error saying that
Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
Unable to lookup System 'SAP_BW_HumanResources'. Please check the system object and the alias..
See the details for the exception ID in the log file
com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.CrystalReport::CrystalReport/SSOLayer
Could you please help in finding proper documentation on setting up manager to see the reports in BW system.
Thanks!

Reports available in the Business Package for MSS and ESS

Hi,
I have searched sdn.sap.com throughout looking for a comprehensive list of reports available in the business packages for both MSS and ESS, i got a little bit of joy and found some of the MSS reports but not all on sdn.sap.com, can anyone please advise where i would find such information on both these packages, just to re-iterate, i am looking for a list of reports these business packages offer? any help much appreciated.
Thanks
John
P.s any documents can be sent to [email protected]

@John
(1) ESS- We built our own custom PORTAL role/workset in which one of the worksets we created is called "Tools and Forms". Under that workset, we placed various pages/iViews that either are simple URL iViews that link to external documents and such (like vacation request forms since they do not do online leave requests yet) as well as a couple ot t-code iViews that run reports in ECC for the employee. Nothing very mind blowing there. Just some content creation on the portal side.....oh, and some config on the backend to create a Homepage Framework Area Page and all for it (I liked that part!)
(2) Wow....talk about perfect timing...I just had to document the way MSS sees the MDT reports in it's "reporting" area yesterday! haha Here goes the quick explaination....in configuration for MDT, you have various "scenarios". These kinda determine which "groups" of reports will show in MDT. For MSS for the Reporting webdynpro/service, the scenario is RPT0 (in ECC 5.0, at least). Soooo if you look at the function CODES assigned to RPT0, you will see several for Training and one for Accounting (Cost Centers)...you can reference the function CODES listed back to the "pool"/library of function codes a bit up/previous in the same config area for MDT(I think it is called "Define Function Codes"). However, there is one more piece you will see listed under RPT0....it is a DIRECT call to function MODULE "HR_HIS_READ" (this was a bugger to find because I could not find the "Maternity" report listed in the function codes and had to figure out where the heck it was coming from! haha). Anyways....what the function MODULE actually does is call the HR Information System (HIS) passing it the RPT0/MSS scenario. This returns the particular reports for Employee Data and Time&Attendance. You can see this if you run the HR_HIS_READ function directly and enter RPT0 for the second input value (first and third are not needed or you can just enter "*". Sooooo that is how the "magic" happens. Hope that explained it. From there, you can simply config you own scenario/reports to add into MSS if you like.
Hope this helped!

MSS Absence/ Attendance Report output

Attendance and Absence report (PT64) in MSS is not producing results as a default. It require that user must click on Expand all inorder to display the data.
Does any one know if that option can be defaulted so users do not have to perform this extra step.
Unlike R/3 there is no input parameter when we can set up a variant with setting Org. assignment- Employees-Attendance/ absences types instead of default variant Org. assignment.
Thanks in advance

Sorting in 6i and 10g reports

Hello All,
I am running 6i and 10g reports against a 10g database.
I ran one of the 6i report and it generated a report in one sorting ordear
and when i ran the same report on 10g ,it generated the report in ddifferent order.
Both the reports r run against the same 10g database.
The order by clause on the columns of the records r identical.
Now i wanted to understand how it is sorting in different orders in both 6i and 10g reports?
Thanks,
Ranz

Hi,
Please note the fact that 6i Reports is not certified to work with 10g Database. Hence it becomes impossible to address the sorting behavior of 6i Reports, though there is nothing different in the way it works. I would suggest you to use 10gR2 version of Reports services with 10g Database which is certified and supported. Thanks for your understanding.

I am not able to launch FF everytime i tr to open it, it says FF has to submit a crash report, i even tried doing that and the report was submitted too, but stiil FF did not start, and the problem still persists, please help me solve this issue in English

Question
I am not able to launch FF everytime i try to open it, it says FF has to submit a crash report,and restore yr tabs. I even tried doing that and the report was submitted too, but still FF did not start, and the problem still persists, please help me solve this issue
'''(in English)'''

Hi Danny,
Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
but not 180, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
or
=SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Error while running historical and operational reports in OIM 9.1

Hi all,
I had a look at the operational reports and historical reports in OIM 9.1
When I tried to run the reports by supplying the parameters, I see the following behaviors.
a)The reports run as expected and display the information.
b)The moment, I click submit I see a series of exceptions in the Jboss log, the beginning of the thread being....
WARN [TxConnectionManager] Connection error occured: org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.TxConnectionManager$TxConnectionEventListener@1e7aa15[state=NORMAL mc=org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.xa.XAManagedConnection@6fc757 handles=1 lastUse=1300177838234 permit=true trackByTx=true mcp=org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.JBossManagedConnectionPool$OnePool@62b4a1 context=org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.InternalManagedConnectionPool@40ba54 xaResource=org.jboss.resource.adapter.jdbc.xa.XAManagedConnection@6fc757 txSync=null]
java.sql.SQLException: No more data to read from socket
c)The screen just hangs without any error message/report results. When I tried to click any other menu items on the left hand side, none of them responds after the screen is hung.
The only option available is to close the window and reopen the browser again.
It would be great if you could let me know the root cause for scenarios 'b' and 'c'
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Many thanks in advance

UCCX 7.0.1SR5 to 8.0 upgrade while also adding LDAP integration for CUCM - what happens to agents and Historical Reporting data?

Current State:
•    I have a customer running CUCM 6.1 and UCCX 7.01SR5. Currently their CUCM is *NOT* LDAP integrated and using local accounts only. UCCX is AXL integrated to CUCM as usual and is pulling users from CUCM and using CUCM for login validation for CAD.
•    The local user accounts in CUCM currently match the naming format in active directory (John Smith in CUCM is jsmith and John Smith is jsmith in AD)
Goal:
•    Upgrade software versions and migrate to new hardware for UCCX
•    LDAP integrate the CUCM users
Desired Future State and Proposed Upgrade Method
Using the UCCX Pre Upgrade Tool (PUT), backup the current UCCX 7.01 server.
Then during a weekend maintenance window……
•    Upgrade the CUCM cluster from 6.1 to 8.0 in 2 step process
•    Integrate the CUCM cluster to corporate active directory (LDAP) - sync the same users that were present before, associate with physical phones, select the same ACD/UCCX line under the users settings as before
•    Then build UCCX 8.0 server on new hardware and stop at the initial setup stage
•    Restore the data from the UCCX PUT tool
•    Continue setup per documentation
At this point does UCCX see these agents as the same as they were before?
Is the historical reporting data the same with regards to agent John Smith (local CUCM user) from last week and agent John Smith (LDAP imported CUCM user) from this week ?
I have the feeling that UCCX will see the agents as different almost as if there is a unique identifier that's used in addition to the simple user name.
We can simplify this question along these lines
Starting at the beginning with CUCM 6.1 (local users) and UCCX 7.01. Let's say the customer decided to LDAP integrate the CUCM users and not upgrade any software.
If I follow the same steps with re-associating the users to devices and selecting the ACD/UCCX extension, what happens?
I would guess that UCCX would see all the users it knew about get deleted (making them inactive agents) and the see a whole group of new agents get created.
What would historical reporting show in this case? A set of old agents and a set of new agents treated differently?
Has anyone run into this before?
Is my goal possible while keeping the agent configuration and HR data as it was before?

I was doing some more research looking at the DB schema for UCCX 8.
Looking at the Resource table in UCCX, it looks like there is primary key that represents each user.
My question, is this key replicated from CUCM or created locally when the user is imported into UCCX?
How does UCCX determine if user account jsmith in CUCM, when it’s a local account, is different than user account jsmith in CUCM that is LDAP imported?
Would it be possible (with TAC's help most likely) to edit this field back to the previous values so that AQM and historical reporting would think the user accounts are the same?
Database table name: Resource
The Unified CCX system creates a new record in the Resource table when the Unified CCX system retrieves agent information from the Unified CM.
A Resource record contains information about the resource (agent). One such record exists for each active and inactive resource. When a resource is deleted, the old record is flagged as inactive; when a resource is updated, a new record is created and the old one is flagged as inactive.

VS2008/VS2005 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer

Hi,
1.) I am using VS2008 and Crystal Reports 2008 Developer. Are there any issues I need to consider when developing using both of the above? (or with VS2005)
2.) The confusion for me is in regards to the SDK. From what I understand from articles etc is that using CR 2008 dev we can use the .NET SDK or RAS SDK for development purposes?
3.) So downloaded the sample code for RAS .NET from [here|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/businessobjects-samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] and tried "DatabaseLogon_CS" example, as the option. It automatically opened in VS2005 (no problem) however it would not run.
I would get an error :
Failed to connect to server "localhost".
Error returned from Windows Sockets API : 0.
and line causing this is >>> rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
Code below:
        string sampleReportPath = @"C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples\en\Reports\Demonstration\World Sales Report.rpt";
        object path = (object)sampleReportPath;
        // Create an instance of the ReportClientDocument.
        ReportClientDocument rcd = new ReportClientDocumentClass();
        // Set the location of the RAS server.
        rcd.ReportAppServer = "localhost";
        // Use the Open() method of the ReportClientDocument to open the report.
        rcd.Open(ref path, 0);
I have been able to open the RPT file by itself. So it does 'see' the database.
Reason why it would not run?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you're using the sample code from our website, make sure you have uncommented the InprocRAS option in the ConfigureCrystalReports method (see below). From your error description it seems like you're using the unmanaged RAS option, which requires a RAS server.
private void ConfigureCrystalReports()
        /* The following methods implement the same sample functionality in three different RAS
         * scenarios. Uncomment the method you would like to use.
         * - inprocRAS() logs onto a databse using RAS and SQL authentication.
         * - managedRAS() logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from a managed RAS server.
         * - unmanagedRAS () logs onto a database using RAS and SQL authentication from an unmanaged RAS server.
         * Undocument the call to the method which applies to your appropriate RAS settings.
        DatabaseLogon_inprocRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_managedRAS();
        //DatabaseLogon_unmanagedRAS();

Diff b/w snapshot baselines and AWR reports

Hi All,
Can anyone tell what is the difference b/w snapshot baselines and AWR reports. I have gone through couple of articles and i feel both are same, however given different names.
Am I correct?
Thanks

AWR report is a report comparing the pair of snapshots and thus giving you the details of what has happened between that inerval!
The baselines is that "interesting time period" which you define telling to oracle and is used by oracle to compute the sql response tiime of your db with it in the subsequent timings. So both are completely different actually!

NetWeaver Portal and ERP 6.0: BI, ESS/MSS and full Portal on one machine

Hello,
with ERP 6.0 you need a EP Core Portal for BI Java. An other EP Core Portal for HCM ECC/MSS. The iViews from this portal you integrate in the main portal via federated portal. But in this scenario i need to much portals and have a lot of maintenance costs (administration overhead for evry portal). For a small Customer i will build one Portal for all. It is possible e.g. to use the BI Portal with ESS/MSS and as full portal?
Best regards,
Patrick

Hi,
So you would like one BI installation with both the ABAP and the Java-stack with the full BI-functionallity and additionally the XSS-component and set it up to work against the ECC ABAP-only system ?
I think the scenario would actually work, but:
1) You might get future problems if you want to upgrade your BI-system and not the ECC-system.
Is it possible to run the old XSS-components in the new java-stack ?
2) You might get future problems if you want to upgrade your ECC-system and not the BI-system.
What if the new version of the XSS-component demands certain java-components which the BI-system do not have.
So my recommendation is still to run the java-stack on both systems.
ECC with the XSS-java-components and BI with the Bi-java-components.
This way you do not lock yourself into a corner and each system can be upgrade independent of the other.

BI Publisher 11g 11.1.1.6.0 and OIM Reports Not Showing Up

After upgrading to OIM BP04, I following the readme to install BI Publishing, but used the 11.1.1.6.0 version.
After creating: C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BIP\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\config\bipublisher\repository\Reports\Oracle Identity Manager
I copied C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BIP\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\config\bipublisher\repository\Reports\Oracle Identity Manager\OIM_11gR1_BIP11gReports.zip and uncompressed it here..
Then I restarted everything except for the database.
When I logon to the BIP console, go to Catalog then Shared Folders, there is no 'Oracle Identity Manager' folder...only the original Components and Sample folders.
What's up with that?

The answer is to open up the weblogic security schema for BIP and add a user account with the same name used to access OIM, then add the BI_Authors role. Save. Restart BIP. This got me the Resource Reports.
The DB Roles and Privs reports still don't work OOTB because the jobs don't update the UD_DB_ORA_P and _R tables. Still working on how to get that down. What's that...you know how...please do tell. Thanks :)

Shortened Fiscal Year and its impact on BI back end and Bex reports

Hi All,
Our client is making some changes to the fiscal year period.
Becuase of some business requirements, we will have to shortened the fiscal year.
Can you please suggest - what are the watch points when we do this?
- what will be the impact to BI back end and Bex reports?
Thanks,
Nisha

Hello Nisha,
Since the fiscal year (Infobjects - 0FISCYEAR and/ 0FISCPER3) is compounded with fiscal year variant, therefore maintaining the correct variant in BI will automatically take care of showing the data correctly.
So there are two things to be maintained in BI:
1) To see that the variant definition.
2) If you need to display the text of the fiscal periods, then the correct texts.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Regards,
Shweta
