Multiple Column Header in Report (BEx and Web Reporting)

Hi All,
        I've a requirement where my reports is having multiple column header.
   To be precise the column header is further divided into many sub-columns (upto 4 levels).
Structure cannot help in this case since we have more than 2 such columns and we are using web reporting as well.
Here is how it looks
                         <b>Header-A</b>
Header-B1   |   Header-B2   |   Header-B3    |  Header-Bn
Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2 |Hdr-D1 |Hdr-D2 |Hdr-E1 |Hdr-E2 |Hdr-Fn..
The above is a sample header structure.
This report will be a Web Based report and I need to know whether its possible to do it in BEx also.
We are not using Crystal Reports.
If there is any document related to this, please mail to
[email protected]
Thanks & Regards,
Chandran Ganesan

Hi Chandran,
I hope i am getting your problem right.
If your
Header-B1 | Header-B2 | Header-B3 | Header-Bn
Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2 |Hdr-D1 |Hdr-D2 |Hdr-E1 |Hdr-E2 |Hdr-Fn..
are a set of key figures, then there is an option.
For example:
You drag Header-B1,Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2
into column section.Right click on Hdr-C1, Hdr-C2 and select down under. So your Hdr-C1, Hdr-C2 will be under
Header-B1.
Like wise drag Header-B2,Hdr-D1,Hdr-D2
Right click on Hdr-D1,Hdr-D2 and say Down under and these two will fit below Header-B2.
You can repeat the above steps for Header-B3... Header-Bn
The output will be same as the one you have specified above.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Parth.

  • Different display on client report builder and web reports

    Hi all, I have build a report in report 6i version Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1.And I set the page to 8.5*11 ,and it runs well in the client ,but when I put it on the UNIX SERVER,and run it from web URL,It displayed different from the client report builder.The web report is "smaller" than the client report ,but the font size is as same as the client .
    My HPUX is 11x,and display the Chinese report .
    Any body know why ?give me some advice ,thank u very much.

    Hi
    If you had built the report definition on Windows and then moved this to Unix server, you may find different fonts in use. This is becuase your Unix setup does not have the same fonts install. At design time, You need to use fonts which are available on Unix also. The same fonts shaould also be installed for printer in Unix i.e. the AFM/PFM font files should be kept under $ORACLE_HOME/guicommonX/tkXX/admin/AFM or PFM directory. This would give you the same output and would lessen the porting affect.

  • Document integration for Bex reports and web reports

    Hi,
    I would like to attach few documentaion (like business usage of the report) for all existing reports in BW system. We are delivering all reports through Bex reports and Web reports.
    Report user should be able to see attached documentation through "Document" property in Web report.
    I have followed this way but not able to get on-line documentation for queries.
    1. RSA1--> Documents >Meta Data> selected Object type ELEM> Import document> attached word document.
    2. I enabled Documents property in Query designer.
    3. When I executed this query in Bex, I could see document symbol for all characteristics & Key figures in all cell (in default view)
    4. The same result with Web report (all cells are having document symbol).
    But I dont want to display documents in defaul view, if any user wanted to have doucment info, then should click on "document" tab and should be able to down load / read on line.
    Let me know why I am getting document symbol for all key / char, even though i selected "ELEM". I know we could direclty import documents in query designer, what is the difference..
    Rgds..

    Hi,
    Anybody could provide step to step procedure for doucument integration for Bex reports.

  • How to fix the column header width in BEx or WAD

    hi there!
    how to fix the column header width in BEx or WAD. because, depends on the column data, the column size varies. i want to fix the size so that i can maintain the consistency through out the report.
    thanks!
    Vam.

    Dear Vam,
    you can easily do that with css, search the source code of the executed web template for the td tag which is around your coloumn header, remember the style sheet class name it is ´displayed as class= in the td tag.
    Now you can add this code the beginning of your web template:
    </style>
    This will only work in Web.

    We have a requirment where we need to restrict user on company code level in bobj.
    we have some dashborads and webi reports which need to be restricted at company code level, hence i have created a  role in BI and restricted the queries (bex queries) on company code level and same role and user i have imported in BOBJ.

  • Migrating Crystal and Webi Reports with Universe from 1 folder to different folders

    Hi There
    Does anybody know of a way to do the following
    this is for BOE XI 3.1 SP 6 FP 6.2 on Windows 2008 R2
    We have multiple Crystal and Webi reports developed from 1 universe and we need to copy these Crystal and Webi  reports to different folders in the same CMS  for example
    Universe Dev > Universe Folder Dev -  Crystal and Webi Reports set in Dev Folder
    Create a copy of the Dev Universe to Universe Folder Test – Copy the Dev Crystal and Webi Reports to Folder Test we need to Map it to the universe in the Test Universe folder(Copy of the Dev Universe)
    Create a copy of the Dev Universe to Universe Folder UAT– Copy the Dev Crystal and Webi Reports to Folder UAT we need to Map it to the universe in the UAT Universe folder(Copy of the Dev Universe)
    Create a copy of the Dev Universe to Universe Folder PROD – Copy the Dev Crystal and Webi Reports to Folder PROD we need to Map it to the universe in the PROD Universe folder(Copy of the Dev Universe)
    The reason for this is each of these universe are connected to a different database i.e Test, UAT, Prod and we have over 200 reports and at the moment we have to manually map each report to the new universe individual which take up hours.
    I have tried Lifecycle manager but came to the conclusion it cannot achive this
    You cannot change the universe attached to the Crystal and Webi reports
    you cannot promote Reports and Universes in the Same CMS to different folders
    you cannot change the folder even if you promote jobs between servers
    Does anybody know of a way to do this

    Hi,
    The way you should do this is to have 4 different BO systems, Dev, Test, UAT and Prod.
    Having this will allow you to use the same universe across all systems, but the connection to the database will be different on each system.
    Not only will this allow you to smoothly report off different data sources, but you will also be able to upgrade and make configuration changes without impacting your production system.
    Cheers,

  • Views on CF Report Builder and Crystal Report

    Dear all,
    I would like to get your opinions on CF Report Builder and
    Crystal Report.
    As we all know, CF Report Builder is a new reporting tool.
    But I find it very difficult to design a complex report maybe due
    to limitation in its functionalities. Sometimes the tool shutdowns
    by itself without any warning and reason. But the output is nicely
    presented on a flash paper / pdf and it can be run on non-MS
    platforms.
    On the other hand, Crystal Report is a more matured product
    but runs only on MS platform. It is very easy to use and very
    powerful. I have been using it for almost 10 years. But the output
    is not nicely presented on the web browser unless if we purchase
    Crystal Report Enterprise to generate the report which is very
    costly.
    Can you all share your views? I need to make decision which
    tool(s) to use. Really appreciate it.
    Cheers,
    Keiko

    Hi Keiko,
    Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
    issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
    Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
    also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
    query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
    reports.
    Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
    generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
    Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
    long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
    you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
    years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
    Report Builder and you can judge then.
    I am sure you will have fun with CF.
    Thanks

  • Difference between Crsytal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4

    difference between Crystal Report 2011 and Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0?
    I think Crystl Reprt 2011 has more function, is it right?

    Hi,
    I recently attended a SAP Virtual trianing on SAP Business Objects BI 4.0.
    Here are few extracts from that which probably shows some light to you:
    SAP Crystal Reports 2011
    1. UI and associated processing servers remain the same as CR 2008
    2. Incremental update to CR 2008 with a few new features*
    3. Continue to provide current CR 2008 functionality as-is for existing customers
    SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise 4.0
    1. Major update & redesign of the Crystal Reports Designer and associated processing servers
    2. Focus on streamlined report design, reporting against BI 4.0 Universe, & reporting against SAP BW data
    3. Provide the foundation for all future releases of Crystal Reports
    Differences between these two releases:
    Data Source & Usage Type                                       General Recommendation
    1. SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0                                        SAP Crystal Reports Relational Universe (UNX) for Enterprise
    OLAP Universe (UNX)
    2. SAP NetWeaver BW 7 BEx Query (BICS)                    SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise

  • Isolating WebIntelligence ad hoc reports to specific Webi Report Processing Server

    Post Author: Lucia Chan
    CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
    Has anyone successfully isolated WebIntelligence ad hoc reports to be processed by specific Webi Report Processing Server?  We need to enforce governance on the database side.  We can restrict scheduling for Webi reports to specific Webi Report Processing Server, but not for ad hoc reports.  Otherwise is there a way to do connection override for scheduled Webi reports?

    New version that's comming up SBO Bi4.0 will have bouilt in monitoring that will allow what you requesting.
    In the current product line - this is not possible, unless you just monitor WIReportServer.exe at OS level and alert when it's memory or CPU usage goest too high... (if memory reaches close to and above 1.7gb - you're going into troubles.)
    There are various fixes and improvements to Webi processing stability in recent fix and service packs, so if you're having webi instability - you should review latest FP fix issues list (in SMP to right of FP download there is an Info link - it leads to fixed issues docs).
    If you do not see your issue listed - open incident with support - let them investigate.
    Webi crashing when merging/unmerging dimentions sounds like a bug...

  • Can 10g OAS run 10g Report server and 6i reports together?

    Re-posted from the OAS thread: Can 10g OAS run 10g Report server and 6i reports together?
    We have need to run 6i and 10g reports from the same physical server running OAS 10g.
    Are there issues / conflicts?
    There are hundreds of 6i reports called from many applications. Converting completely is a separate project on the books.
    The need is to utilize 10g graphs on this urgent project. The graphing in 6i has not gotten along here with RAC and other distributed architecture. Additionally, I believe the 6i graph runtime would have to be installed on each client workstation... again, hundreds.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    You can install OAS 10g and Reports 6i on the same server as long as they are installed in different ORACLE_HOME ..

  • Output mismatch between BEx query output and WebI Report output

    Hi All,
    I have a BEx query in which there are only characteristics placed in rows.
    There are combinations of the values of the characteristics giving different records in the query output.
    Date is one of the characterisctics in the query output.
    There is an output mismatch between the query output and the WebI report output in the following case:
    When there are 'Not Assigned' or '#' or blank values, there are additional entries(rows) in the WebI report, giving repeating or wrong entries in the Date field. This is incorrect data.
    Is this because of the  'Not Assigned' or '#' or blank values of the Characteristics or is there any other reason?
    How do I fix this?
    Please helo me with this.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Srilakshmi B

    Hi Rajesh,
    I need to verify the WebI report output for records with # and 'Not assigned' values for the cHracteristics in the report.
    So I cannot check the WebI report by hiding the # or Not assigned values.
    The problem is that in the Query output the records are like these shown below:
    Char1                    CHar2                          CHar3                       Date field
    A                             B                                 C                                Date1
    #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)             No value
    Where as the WebI report output is as below:
    Char1                    CHar2                          CHar3                       Date field
    A                             B                                 C                                Date1
    #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)            Date1
    As shown here, there are wrong/repeating entries for the Date field in the WebI report output.
    Please check this and let me know what could be the issue and how do I fix it.

  • Reports 6i and Web Wizard

    Hi All,
    I am developing reports for web using Report 6i. When I use web wizard to create html output (option - Generate HTML stylesheet output now). Everything fine except there is gap (10-12 blank lines) between pages.
    I need your help in getting rid of these lines. What I need is continuous report.
    Any help appreciated,
    TIA,
    Jitendra.

    Hi,
    I've you found a nice way to do a continuous report? If so, it would be nice to post it here.
    The way I've found is far from being nice, but, well, it works.
    I have three report
    - the master
    - the head report
    - the body report
    1:
    The master report is an empty report. The only thing it does is produce some HTML code for a frameset (declared in the 'Before Form Value' of the report property palette). This frameset is built from the two other reports, the first being the head report (its corresponding frame being not resizable, with no scroll bar) and the second being the body report. That way, I have HTML code looking like :
    <html>
    <frameset rows="1*,19*">
    <FRAME name="A" frameborder=0 noresize scrolling=no SRC="url of the head report">
    <FRAME name="B" frameborder=0 SRC="url of the body report">
    </FRAMESET>
    </HTML>
    For the "sub-reports"' URL, I had trouble placing the desformat and destype parameter because Reports see &desformat as a lexical reference to the value of the desformat for the report being generated. So, bored, I finally used the 'run' shortcut of the cgicmd.dat file (search for that in the Reports manuals). I then ended up with URL like :
    http://computer.server.com/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?run+param+param+param+param
    where params are the usual rwcgi60 parameters needed to produce a report.
    2:
    The head report contains only the headers for the columns. There's no repeating frame or whatever. The text boilerplate objects of the headers are on the top of the report, the rest being empty.
    3:
    The body report has been modified so the body section of the report (the rectangle with thick black borders) fills completely the height of the report. Inside it, I've created a repeating frame, its height being a divider of the height of the report. What I mean is : my report is 11" high, so I've created a repeating frame 0.5" high. That way, there would be no space between pages.
    And that's about it.
    Well, I'm not sure this is a very viable solution, and I admit I don't really like this kind of hacking in a professionnal reports structure. But if beauty is not your primary concern, maybe this thing should help.
    ... but I haven't found yet out how to place the report footer... ;-)
    Anyway, I hope all this can inspire you a little bit,
    Frederic :-)

  • Is this report feasible either in Bex or web reporting?

    I've following records in cube.
    Material Date Qty
    Mat1 04/30/08 400
    Mat1 05/04/08 500
    Mat1 05/05/08 650
    Mat1 05/06/08 720
    I'm looking for a report as follows. Is it possible?
    rows----
    Qty in columns restricted with date
    Material----
              05/04/08  05/05/08  05/06/08
    Mat1----
                    100       250         320 
    above derivation is based on  - "qty" in columns restricted with date but also "qty" up-to-date needs to be substracted from ( prior-month-end which in our case is 4/30/2008 qty).
    Material------- 05/04/08  05/05/08  05/06/08
    Mat1----
    500-400  650-400    720-400 
    so, for example, 05/05/08 Qty (650) column needs to be substracted from 4/30/08 Qty  (400) for the output of 05/05/08 column which is 650 - 400 = 250
    I've created user exit variable on date to determine prior-month end date so, i'm getting 4/30/08 in our case into this date user exit variable.
    but, my problem is, as long as i put date in columns which is restricted with user-input range as 5/4/08 to 5/6/08, I'm unable to get qty of 4/30/08 into the columns for substraction purpose.
    Is there a workaround to get this? I'm trying either in BeX query or Web reporting (we don't want to use excel macros to achieve this)
    Appreciate any help.
