Multiple Data Columns in one report column

How do I list multiple columns returned from a select vertically within one report column. For instance, I have three statuses for a project that I want to list, I'd like to list the three statuses within one status column. I remember seeing this somewhere but cannot find it now. Example:
Status Column
Budget: Green
Schedule: Red
Issues: Yellow

additionally you could use HTML expressions. When editing your report, click on the column you want to use for displaying multiple data columns. This will take you to the report columns attributes page, there you can type in something like the following into the HTML expression field, referencing other report columns using #COLUMN_NAME# substitutions:
#BUDGET#
#SCHEDULE#
#ISSUES#
this is assuming your column aliases are named BUDGET, SCHEDULE and ISSUES. You can then just hide the columns that you don't want to see because the data is already shown using the HTML expression.
Regards,
Marc

Exporting to multiple PDF's from one report

I have a requirement to create multiple PDF's from one report.
My thought is that I can I can create a foreach loop that cycles through one of my groups. I would then like to have each file have the name of that group.
If anyone could help me on how to code this in C# that would be great. I need to know where I should be putting this code (program.cs or crystalreport.cs) and how I run it. I am assuming I don't need the viewer for this function, since this is all on my end and no users need to have access to it.
My other requirement is to have each of these reports be put into their own folders at C:\. Thanks for the help in advance!

OK. Yup, you should be able to do this. When I was reading the initial post it looked like you might have ben wanting to export only a certain section of a report (which is a no go).
Anyhow, first thing you want to do is apply Service pack 3:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
Next, you want to look at a few sample apps and go over some docs. What you want to achieve can be done by using parameters or selection formulas.
A good coding resources is the [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 Walkthroughs|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2081b4d9-6864-2b10-f49d-918baefc7a23]. Don't worry about the title, it will apply to CR 2008 also.
Next, sample apps can be downloaded from here:

Not sure if you are thinking of this being a web app, but here are some resources for that:
[Interactivity and Reports in Web Applications|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/208edbbf-671e-2b10-d7b5-9b57a832e427&overridelayout=true]

Can we combine multiple data sources in single report?

<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana">Can we combine multiple data sources in single report?</span>

If you can't do this at the Metalayer (BVs or Universe) - then subreports and shared variables are the method for CR to use multiple datasources in the same report.

Implicit date format conversion of report column

Hello,
The following expression defines date format for report column implicitly and doesn't reflect FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE with language independent format mask of the column attribute anymore:
decode(end_date, to_date('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) closed
end_date is of TIMESTAMP(0) WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE type, format mask of the column attribute: DS TS
Is it expected behavior?
Thanks

ThanksThe reason might be that you compare different datatypes in the SQL statement. The output of decode depends on those parameters.
You can cast the column to a specific datatype or you make sure that your wanted datatype is used during the decode.
example
decode(end_date, to_timestamp_tz('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) closed
or
cast(decode(end_date, to_date('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) as timestamp(0) with local time zone) closed

2 filter conditions in one column in one report

I want to filter a column with value x and then the same column with value y in one single report in OBI11.1.7.Is this possible? I appreciate your answer.

i'm sorry, not really understand.
could you pls explain a bit more about the filter column? how do we do it? coz i'm really new in this tool.
r u talking about editing the filter located under the column on the right side of the OBIEE answers?
or is it by editing the 'edit column formula' for required column; that is by replacing the 'column formula' expression with this:
FILTER(EXPS_FACT.FAC_SR_KEY USING EXPS_FACT.PAST_DUE_FLAG = 'Y') <----if it is like this, i tried it already & its giving me an error message..
thanx.

Multiple Data Sources In One Logical Table

I am new to OBIEE and I have came accross an issue. I appologize if this information is in the forum somewhere but I have searched and cannot find it.
My situation is that I would like to have one logical table that contains multiple data sources which have all the same columns. I already have session variables setup to differentiate the user's security through a row-wise variable for a specific column and a session variable for another column which determines the user's association to the data source in which they belong to. This security works well when the data sources are seperated in the Business Model and Mapping portion but the issue that arises is that the user's cannot share reports when the data sources are seperated in the BM&M.
I have dragged and dropped a table from the Physical model to the BM&M, I then dragged the second data source (with same meta data structure) over to the "Sources" folder in the first data source table in the BM&M. On the Content tab or each data source table I have defined the WHERE clause as such, where VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") session variable is my row-wise column filter and the VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP") filter is my data source determinative:
sandbox."".SANDBOX.OBIEE_CROSS_ENROLLMENTS.HOME_SCHOOL = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") AND sandbox."".SANDBOX.OBIEE_CROSS_ENROLLMENTS.DATA_SOURCE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP")
Unfortunatley this only returns values in the BI Answers for the first drag and drop Pysical table in the BM&M layer and not the second Physical table drug into the "Sources" folder. I have also tried to create a new logical table and drag both tables into the "Sources" folder to no avail. I have experimented with the Fragmentation content on the "Content" tab of the seperate logical tables, checking the "This source should be combined with other sources at this level", which gives me an error in BI Answers that a column does not exist which really does.
What could I be missing? Advanced thanks to those who reply.
Thank you,
Kyle

Stijn,
Thank you for the article link. That was very helpful! It seems that I had a few things off as you do need the "This source should be combined with other sources at this level." checked. In my two table source columns for DATA_SOURCE I defined a literal ('086496' and '085597' for the other) in the Column Mapping tab. I pasted the following in the Fragmentation content, checking the "This source..." box on the Content tab:
eSIS.SANDBOX4_SCHOOLS.DATA_SOURCE = '086496'
And pasted the following into the WHERE clause, checking "Select distinct values" on the Content tab:
sandbox4."".OBIEE.NWOCA_SCHOOLS.SCHOOL_CODE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."SCHOOL") AND sandbox4."".OBIEE.NWOCA_SCHOOLS.DATA_SOURCE = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."GROUP")
This took care of my user's security, utilizing the session variables in the WHERE clause. I am now able to generate reports that only one user can access from one data source and share that same report with another user who can only see data from the other data source.
Many thanks!!!

Multiple audit records per one report refresh

We use BO XI R3 on Windows with CMS on DB2.
I need to create audit reports on BO report usage with following data:
username, timestamp, duration, report name for DeskI and WebI reports.
I use auditing on DesktopIntelligenceCacheServer and WebIntelligenceProcessingServer.
The problem is that I'm getting multiple records in AUDIT_EVENT table with different event_ids and timestamps per one refreshed report.
Following SQL brings 2 records from WebI server all the time (first with duration=0) and from 1 to 5 records from DeskI server, all of them with real report duration.
SELECT
start_timestamp,
ae.EVENT_ID,
user_name,
duration,
object_type,
detail_id,
detail_text
FROM BO_XI_R3.AUDIT_EVENT ae,
bo_xi_r3.AUDIT_DETAIL ad,
bo_xi_r3.EVENT_TYPE et
where ae.EVENT_TYPE_ID=et.EVENT_TYPE_ID
and ae.EVENT_ID=ad.EVENT_ID
and ad.DETAIL_TYPE_ID=8
and ae.EVENT_TYPE_ID=19
order by 1;
How to separate unique refresh info?
Edited by: Valentin Volk on Oct 3, 2008 9:03 PM

Valentin,
The "duplicate" records that you are seeing, is it always consistent or just sometimes. I ran you query against my Auditor database and sometimes (like maybe less than 50%) I am seeing "duplicate" records. I say "duplicate" because the Event_ID is different in each case, but by sorty by start_timestamp, I can see a duration 0 record, and if the query takes like 5 seconds, then five seconds later I see the entry again (with a new Event_ID) and the second record has a duration of 5. What does all this mean? I don't know exactly, other than BO sees the act of submitting a report (sometimes) as an activity (and records an "enter" record with a duration of zero, zero for obvious reasons), then when the report ends another entry to the journal used to record the duration. And at other times I don't see the "enter" record, just the entry with the duration. In my practice we run a similiar query as you've provided but we do not record where duration is zero.
thanks,
John

Dynamically assign column heading to Report columns

I need to assign values to column headings of various Report Columns of my Report region based on current value of one of my application items. How can I do it?

Never mind, there was another post like this. Duplicate. Just in case someone is looking for the answer, here is what worked for me:
Assume the Application item is called app_item_My_dynamic_head_col1.
Add a page computation before the page loads to set the value of the application item based on whatever condition.
Edit the report column.
In place of hard coded column heading "Project Name" (that was my column heading), replace it with
&app_item_My_dynamic_head_col1.
The key here is the period after &app_item_My_dynamic_head_col1.
As the page loads, the column heading will be value of the app_item_My_dynamic_head_col1 (as assigned by the computation).

Multiple db connections for one report

Hi all,
I am using Oracle Reports 10g R2. Could someone tell me if Oracle Reports supports multiple database connections for one rdf file, like this (using servlet)
http://your_web_server:port_num/reports/rwservlet?server=server_name&report=myreport.rdf& userid1=username/password@my_db1&userid2=username/password@my_db2 &desformat=pdf&destype=cache
I am asking this question because my report needs data from two separate Oracle databases.
Edited by: user12239004 on Apr 27, 2010 2:14 AM

No, you can only have one login.
However, this is simple to resolve by creating a database link in one database to the other database.

Two data Models in one report

Hi There,
I have created two data model for my report. The queries have no relation to each other. Is that possible to put both these in one report with same user parameters. or do u have any better suggestion to do this.
For Example:
select count(*) from (select name "Worker" from person
where start_date between (:P_1) and (:P_2)
select count(*) from (select name "ADMIN PERSON" from admin
where start_date between (:P_1) and (:P_2)
Thanks

Hi Jagjit,
I created one report with 2 SQL queries:
select count(*) from employees where department_id < :P_1
and
select count(*) from departments where department_id < :P_1
And it worked fine. So your report should be OK. By the way, a report has just one "Data Model". It is possible to have 2 or more "Queries" in the data model.

Multiple ALV Objects in one Report

I have multiple ALV ojbects in one ABAP report (one a grid, and one a tree). When selecting the choose display layout for either object - it returns the layouts for BOTH objects. Is there any way of limiting this to only return the layouts for the appropriate object?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Heather,
in methode set_table_for_first_display you can use the parameter is_variant of type DISVARIANT. Use the field HANDLE in this structure to distinguish the two ALV Objects. Fill also field REPORT of the same structure with sy-repid.

Space allocation on 11g R2 on multiple data files in one tablespace

hello
if the following is explained in Oracle 11g R2 documentation please send a pointer. I cant find it myself right now.
my question is about space allocation (during inserts and during table data load) in one table space containing multiple data files.
suppose i have Oracle 11g R2 database and I am using OMF and Oracle ASM on Oracle Linux 64-bit.
I have one ASM disk group called ASMDATA with 50 ASM disks in it.
I have one tablespace called APPL_DATA with 50 data files on it, each file = 20 GB (equal size), to contain one 1 TB table calll MY_FACT_TABLE.
During Import Data Pump or during application doing SQL Inserts how will Oracle allocate space for the table?
Will it fill up one data file completely and then start allocating from second file and so on, sequentially moving from file to file?
And when all files are full, which file will it try to autoextend (if they all allow autoextend) ?
Or will Oracle use some sort of proportional fill like MS SQL Server does i.e. allocate one extent from data file 1, next extent from data file 2,.... and then wrap around again? In other words it will keep all files equally allocated as much as possible so at any point in time they will have approximately the same amount of data in them (assuming same initial size ?
Or some other way?
thanks.

On 10.2.0.4, regular data files, autoallocate, 8K blocks, I've noticed some unexpected things. I have an old, probably obsolete habit of making my datafiles 2G fixed, except for the last, which I make 200M autoextend max 2G. So what I see happening in normal operations is, the other files fill up in a round-robin fashion, then the last file starts to grow. So it is obvious to me at that time to extend the file to 2G, make it noautoexented, and add another file. My schemata tend to be in the 50G range, with 1 or 2 thousand tables. When I impdp, I notice it sorts them by size, importing the largest first. I never paid too much attention to the smaller tables, since LMT algorithms seem good enough to simply not worry about it.
I just looked (with dbconsole tablespace map) at a much smaller schema I imported not long ago, where the biggest table was 20M in 36 extents, second was 8M in 23 extents, and so on, total around 200M. I had made 2 data files, the first 2G and the second 200M autoextend. Looking at the impdp log, I see it isn't real strong about sorting by size, especially under 5M. So where did the 20M table it imported first end up? At the end of the auotextend file, with lots of free space below a few tables there. The 2G file seems to have a couple thousand blocks used, then 8K blocks free, 5K blocks used, 56K blocks free, 19K blocks used, 148K free (with a few tables scattered in the middle of there), 4K blocks used, the rest free. Looking at an 8G similar schema, looks like the largest files got spread across the middle of the files, then the second largest next to it, and so forth, which is more what I expected.
I'm still not going to worry about it. Data distribution within the tables is something that might be important, where blocks on the disk are, not so much. I think that's why the docs are kind of ambiguous about the algorithm, it can change, and isn't all that important, unless you run into bugs.

PROBLEM TRANSFERRING   MULTIPLE   DATA ENTRIES    FOR ONE KEY-FIELD.

DEAR   EXPERTS ,
   I HAVE TRANSFERRED DATA FROM THE FINAL INTERNAL TABLE OF MY ABAP REPORT (NOT ALV) TO CUSTOM Z-TABLE CREATED IN SE11.
BUT MY PROBLEM IS : I   COULD NOT   TRANSFER MULTIPLE   DATA ENTRIES   FOR A PARTICULAR FIELD.
FOR EXAMPLE : IN TABLE EKKO THERE ARE   FOUR EBELN-4900006375 AND FOR THAT DIFFERENT EBELP S ARE
PRESENT. I COULD TRANSFER ONLY THE FIRST ENTRY , THAT IS : EBELN - 4900006375 AND   EBELP - 0010,
AFTER THAT THE ZTABLE IS NOT GETTING UPDATED TO EBELN-4900006375 FOR EBELP - 0020 AND SO ON.
I HAVE TRIED ALL THE ' MODIFY, INSERT, UPDATE ' STATEMENTS. I HAVE USED AT - USERCOMMAND - HIDE AND CHECKBOXES.
   PLEASE   SUGGEST   A   SAMPLE   CODE   FOR   THIS.
Moderator message: please post again, but not in all upper case.

There are actually 5 queries in this report now. From what I understand about a union query, I don't think it will work here because the data being returned in each of the queries is so different. I basically need to know how to make all the criteria for each individual to be displayed before proceeding to the next data set, which will include the same data as the first, but for the next employee, and so on. I need to basically create a repeating frame with each individual's respective data I guess, but every time I do, it tells me that it's referencing an invalid group.
