Need clarification on no of datasets in a report

Hi All,
Please let me know is it required to place only one dataset in a report to get the print and layout options perfectly(Designing).
Waiting for valuable replies.

Number of datasets have no relation with print and layout. The number of datasets depends on how many data sources you want to get the data from and in how many different wasys.

Need Clarification On Internal tables in Start Routine

Hi,
I have intenal table some IT_A which deletes the requests which are populated in to it.
Now I need to populate requests into IT_A from another internal table like IT_B which are of different structure.
I have three fields in common in both internal tables like RNR,Timestamp n SID with different field names
I Need Clarification that if i move the contents of the three fields to IT_A from IT_B by spcifying these three fields.Will the internal table IT_A deletes the Requests?
Thanks,
Sriram.

Hi Sriram,
As mentioned IT_A deleted the request loaded into it.
if you move the contents of the three fields to IT_A from IT_B by spcifying the three fields after the deletion step for internal table IT_A takes place then it wont get deleted.
But it would be deleted if the the contents are moved before the deletion step takes place

Need clarification on issue with tablespaces

Hi All,
I needed clarification on this issue with tablespaces.I am following a guideline which says "Presently,The general rule of thumb is to concentrate on tablespaces that are 90% or greater used and have less than 2 GB of free space"
My Scenario:-Now i have tablesace which is 97.23 % and the free space is 10 gb.Please advise me that whats the best next step I can take in this respect?
I am very new to this and just following the guideline,so can you all please explain me some details about this.
Thanks

Well, the guideline says "*and* have less than 2 GB of free space"
Since that tablespace as 10GB of free space, the guideline says that you do not need to concentrate on it. Eh ?
I would be careful with guidelines that are hard-coded in this manner. You need to know the context in which the guideline was set.
Assuming that your database/application doesn't grow suddenly by 1GB or larger (or create temporary segments / objects of 1GB or larger), the "2 GB of free space" might make sense. Then, again, it depends on the extent allocation type. What size are extents getting allocated.
You should check with your organisation's senior DBAs on what happens if you don't concentrate on a tablespace because it is outside the guidelines !

Need clarification on Bigfile Tablespaces

In the following Oracle Documentation Lirbary PDF,
    Oracle® Database
    Concepts
    10g Release 2 (10.2)
    B14220-02
    October 2005
section
    Overview of Tablespaces
    Bigfile Tablespaces (page: 3-5)
it says,
    Benefits of Bigfile Tablespaces
    * Bigfile tablespaces can significantly increase the storage capacity of an Oracle database. Smallfile tablespaces can contain up to 1024 files, but bigfile tablespaces contain only one file that can be 1024 times larger than a smallfile tablespace. The total tablespace capacity is the same for smallfile tablespaces and bigfile tablespaces. However, because there is a limit of 64K database for each database, a database can contain 1024 times more bigfile tablespaces than smallfile tablespaces, so bigfile tablespaces increase the total database capacity by 3 orders of magnitude. In other words, 8 exabytes is the maximum size of the Oracle database when bigfile tablespaces are used with the maximum block size (32k).
I need clarification on how to arrive at 8 exabytes ?
1024 x 32k x 64,000 ??
According to the exerpt above, there's no mention of maximum number of Operating System blocks per extent. Unless this was assumed knowledge ... how do I get 8 exabytes ?
And if "a database can contain 1024 times more bigfile tablespaces than smallfile tablespaces", then what's the upper limit on smallfile tablespaces ? -- was this sentence referring to the number of datafiles per smallfile tablespace ? ...
O_o
Thanks !

Hi,
According to [url http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/limits002.htm#i287915]Physical Database Limits page, a bigfile tablespace contains only one datafile or tempfile, which can contain up to approximately 4 billion ( 232 ) blocks. The maximum size of the single datafile or tempfile is 128 terabytes (TB) for a tablespace with 32K blocks and 32TB for a tablespace with 8K blocks. In resume, A bigfile tablespace is a tablespace containing a single datafile that can be as large as 128 terabytes (TB), depending on the block size of the tablespace. In conjunction with setting the initialization parameter DB_FILES to the maximum value of 65,635 the total size of the database can be more than 8 exabytes (EB)
>>how do I get 8 exabytes ?
You can calculate the maximum amount of space (M) in a single Oracle database as the maximum number of datafiles (D) multiplied by the maximum number of blocks per datafile (F) multiplied by the tablespace block size (B):
M = D * F * B. Therefore, the maximum database size, given the maximum block size and the maximum number of datafiles, is:
65,535 datafiles * 4,294,967,296 blocks per datafile * 32,768 block size = 9,223,231,299,366,420,480 = 8EB.Cheers

BPM, Workflow and Netweaver - Need Clarification

Hi Guru,
I am new to workflow, BPM and Netweaver. I have several questions about those concepts.
1. What is/are the different between workflow and webflow. Which scenario should take workflow into consideration? Which scenario webflow can be applied to?
2. What is/are the different between workflow and BPM. If I am going to implement workflow in a company, do I need to implement business workflow as well as BPM?
3. I need clarification on Netweaver platform and concept.
4. What is/are the different between workflow in R/3 and workflow under Netweaver?
5. If I am going to implement workflow integrated with R/3 and Outlook email, do I need to buy new wrokflow for Netweaver and Netweaver platform or alternatively, I can use business workflow module under R/3 system?
Sorry for many questions asked. I am new to those products. I am now working on software selection for workflow technology. My company is going to implement new workflow to client. Thank you very much.
Cheers,

Please ask only one (or closely related) questions per thread. This makes it a lot easier to get a good structure in the database of previously answered questions. While we are on the subject of previously answered questions, I think you should have a look at them....
My suggestion is therefore:
1. Close this thread
2. Read the Frequently Answered Questions. Before you ask (here are many workflow answers)
3. Search the forum.
4. Create new threads if you have questions afterwards.

Need clarification for these names, R/3, WAS, NetWeaver

I posted the question on WAS preview installation, then I realized I should have put it here. Here is the link to that post:
Need clarification for these names, R/3, WAS, NetWeaver
Thanks again for any input

Added the link to the first post
Message was edited by: xueqing Han

Hi Xueqing,
First of all, sorry for any confusion that we have caused you. I hope I can give you an answer that will clear up the confusion. Sorry, but it is a long explanation of the development of two application solution but history tends to be very long winded!
It is not true SAP R/3 Enterprise equals SAP Web AS, and I'll hopefully explain why:
In the beginning (at least in the client server world) SAP only ship SAP R/3. The technology layer under SAP R/3 was called SAP Basis. There was only SAP Basis under SAP R/3.
SAP then started to deliver other software solutions that were not included in or built on the SAP R/3 software. These included SAP Business Information Warehouse, SAP APO, SAP SEM, SAP CRM, and the list goes on.
These solutions needed to run on technology layer (like SAP R/3 did). SAP Basis was the obvious choice for this because of the common technology layer providing DB/OS abstraction and a coding environment.
~2001:
Later there came the need to have SAP Basis support the web and its web standards and other programming languages. This radically changed what SAP Basis was and we decided to rename the new technology layer to SAP Web Application Server (SAP Web AS). So the SAP Basis name was retired and SAP Basis 4.6D was the last release called SAP Basis.
The new release and the "technology change" means that all the applications mentioned above now ran on SAP Web AS. The first release of SAP Web AS was 6.10.
~2002:
SAP Web AS was first used in SAP R/3 Enterprise release .
The important fact is that SAP R/3 Enterprise runs on SAP Web AS. SAP R/3 Enterprise = SAP R/3 business applications + new business functions + SAP Web AS.
~2003:
I hope the above explanation is clear, because technology takes another major change. It was realized that SAP now had a collection of business solutions/applications (SAP R/3, mySAP CRM, mySAP SCM, etc) and a collection of technology solutions (SAP Web AS, SAP BW, SAP EP, etc). The technology requirements for the business solutions did not end at SAP Web AS, they needed portal, data warehouse, knowledge management capabilities, etc to develop business solutions on.
To address this SAP made the decision to combine all the technology solutions and tools into one single platform. This made complete sense for developers (SAP, Partners and customers). This single platform is called SAP NetWeaver. It includes all the old individual components of SAP Web AS, SAP BW, SAP KM, SAP EP, etc).
~2004:
I think you can guess what the next step is. Yes, the new release of SAP R/3. Since the release of SAP R/3 Enterprise and the release of SAP NetWeaver, SAP R/3's name changes. It is now called mySAP ERP as it includes a lot of applications that were previously sold separately (like SAP SEM, MSS, ESS, etc).
So now mySAP ERP runs on SAP NetWeaver (yes everything that was in SAP Basis and then in SAP Web AS is still there but SAP NetWeaver has so much more now).
Also with the release of SAP NetWeaver, SAP starts to stop using the old technology component names - you will not hear us talk about SAP Web AS, SAP BW, etc anymore, just SAP NetWeaver releases.
In addition all the other SAP business applications also run on SAP NetWeaver, so the latest version of mySAP CRM, mySAP SRM, and mySAP SCM all run on SAP NetWeaver.
So to simplify the explanation, it would be :
Evolution of SAP R/3:
SAP R/3 (up to release 4.6c) -> SAP R/3 Enterprise (releases 1.00 through 2.00 -> mySAP ERP (2004 onward)
Evolution of Basis:
SAP Basis (up to release 4.6d) -> SAP Web AS (up to release 6.40 which was included in SAP NetWeaver '04) -> SAP NetWeaver (2004 onward)
SAP NetWeaver and mySAP ERP have their own release cycles. mySAP ERP always has an underlying technology release that it is built on (this is a SAP NetWeaver release)
I hope this helps,
Mike.

Need clarification regarding the test cable-diagnostics tdr command

Hello,
I've read about the test cable-diagnostics tdr command but I need clarification on the examples listed below to make sure that I am providing the right answer to my co-workers.
Example 1:
CXXX7SW17#show cable-diagnostic tdr int g0/20
TDR test last run on: July 16 10:23:00
Interface Speed Local pair Pair length        Remote pair Pair status
Gi0/20    auto Pair A     N/A                        N/A                Normal
                       Pair B     72   +/- 10 meters N/A                Open
                       Pair C     75   +/- 10 meters N/A                Short/Crosstalk
                       Pair D     74   +/- 10 meters N/A                Short/Crosstalk
Does this example mean that there's a cable length issue in the line which is causing the device that it's connected to not to work properly?
Example 2:
CXXX2SW140#show cable-diagnostics tdr int g0/21
TDR test last run on: July 16 09:16:22
Interface Speed Local pair Pair length        Remote pair Pair status
Gi0/21    100M Pair A     N/A                      Pair A           Normal
                          Pair B     N/A                      Pair B           Normal
                          Pair C     N/A                     Pair C           Normal
                          Pair D     N/A                     Pair D           Normal
Does this example state that the cable line is okay for use?
Example 3:
CXXX1SW19#show cable-diagnostics tdr int g0/22
TDR test last run on: July 16 06:36:53
Interface Speed Local pair Pair length            Remote pair Pair status
Gi0/22   auto    Pair A       1    +/- 10 meters N/A               Open
                          Pair B     39   +/- 10 meters   N/A               Open
                          Pair C     72   +/- 10 meters   N/A               Open
                          Pair D     1    +/- 10 meters    N/A              Open
Does this example mean that there isn't a device connected on the other end? No pin-contact?
Thank you very much for any help you could provide.

I found this article here at supportforums that seemed like the best explanation I've read so far for TDR info.
Hope that helps.

I need clarification on buisness objects

Hi
I am new to the Business objects , i have some doubts on business objects , Please Clarify on this
My Architecture is SAP R/3  SAP BI  SAP BO
Business Objects are using to design reports
1.What is the use of SAP integration Kit
2.If I use standard Info cube with out standard reports then SAP integration kit is required for designing of the reports in Universe.
3.If I use both standard info Cube along with standard reports at that time SAP integration Kit is required for building the reports in Universe
4.If I use customized cube then at that time how fetch the data in Universe . I mean to stay we need to step any connection between BI and Bo .
5.After the designing the report in Universe and I want to Publish in excel or PDF formats. How should I achieve this
6.After publishing of this reports in the form of excel or PDF formats as per business requirement , how to restrict the use to accessing the reports
Could you please some valuable in puts on this. I will assign good points on this
Thanks & Regards
Madan Mohan

Hi Mohan,
SAP integration Kit is the tool whcih is used to connect between BO & SAP. It provides you few of the drivers to connect to your BO.
In order to create any BO Report on top of SAP you need to install SAP Integration Toolkit.
BO Reports can be exported to excel or PDF. In the report you have Save as option to save as excel or PDF.
You can also schedule the reprots in excel or PDf format to your email.
Here is the link which explains you in detail about the BO SAP integration.

I hope this helps.
let me know if you needany other information.

Adding a second dataset to a report - fails

I'm using Visual Studio 2008. In Design mode I'm able to attach to datasets to a report and get a preview. Now I'm trying to attach the data in the code. The report ran ok with a single dataset. It won't run with the second one attached.
The code I've got to load the viewer is:
        myODA = New OracleDataAdapter(sSql, myConn) ' set the query for the data
        ' set the adapter to host the dataset object and it's structure
        myODA.Fill(myData, repVW)
        ' tell the source what report to use
        myRepDoc.FileName = Server.MapPath(repFile)
        ' tell the source what data to use
        myRepDoc.SetDataSource(myData)
        If repNo = 81 Then ' the lag report chart dataset
            repVW2 = Session("RepVW2")
            sSql = Session("RepSQL2")
            myODA2 = New OracleDataAdapter(sSql, myConn)
            myODA2.Fill(myData2, repVW2)
            myRepDoc.SetDataSource(myData2)
        End If
I can't seem to find an ASP example for a second source.
The error is:
Logon failed. Details: crdb_adoplus : Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Error in File C:\DOCUME1\VAAACO1\LOCALS~1\Temp\crLagReport {7ED5D479-C8D6-4FD8-B017-85199BD6BB55}.rpt: Unable to connect: incorrect log on parameters.
Is it possible to include a second dataset in .NET?

Hello Chris,
I have never seen any code with 2 datasets.
Anyway, please see here some [VB samples for .NET|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252812008E/net_web_smpl.exe].
Maybe you can change this code to your needs.

Looping thru sub report based on dataset in main report.

Hello all,
I have a report which has few parameters and I scheduled it to run and export in excel. This report run multiple time based on parameter value and then export the data into different excel file.
Here is what I'm looking for:
1. Create a main report with temporary data set with all the parameter values.
2. Run sub report with parameter values from main report and then export it to excel file, I assume it will help to create one single excel file with multiple tabs.
Questions are:
1. How I can create s dataset in main report (may be use XML as a data source) and write a query? Since I don't have access to database I cannot add a table for parameters values so I need to know how I can create a dataset with all the values
2. Is this a right approach or there is a another way to handle it?
Look forward for expert advice.
Thanks,
P

Hi Parry2k,
According to your description, you want to create a report with several parameters and configure subscription to send delivery the report to users, but you haven’t permission to access database.
According to my knowledge, as long as a user can connect to a SQL Server instance, the user is able to create temporary tables, there are no special permissions. To use XML as data source, we can select XML from type drop-down list, then embed xml in dataset
query text box.
To set parameter values, we can create Available values and Default Values manually or create datasets for the parameter, then get values from the datasets.
In this case, I would recommend you asking database administrator to grant permission to access database to you. Creating temporary tables is not a good approach to solve the problem.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

RDC : connect Dataset to a Report

Post Author: Chaux
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
My report is using a Acces database (MDB file).
i m have to modify my report by code, so i need RDC.
i m building a dataset, (not connected to physical datbase)
DataSet.Tables.Add(TableName)
DataTable.Columns.Add(ColumnsName, type)
DataRow Row = DataTable.NewRow()
Row[x] = data
I want to connect this dataset to my report ,
using setdatasource it do nothing...
When i m trying to modify the ConnectionProperties
Crystal Report prompt a windows, and ask me the physical datasource ...
So, how can i connect the dataset to my report ?

Multiple data sets: a common global dataset and per/report data sets

Is there a way to have a common dataset included in an actual report data set?
Case:
For one project I have about 70 different letters, each letter being a report in Bi Publisher, each one of them having its own dataset(s).
However all of these letters share a common standardized reference block (e.g. the user, his email address, his phone number, etc), this common reference block comes from a common dataset.
The layout of the reference block is done by including a sub-llayout (rtf-file).
The SQL query for getting the dataset of the reference block is always the same, and, for now, is included in each of the 70 reports.
Ths makes maintenance of this reference block very hard, because each of the 70 reports must be adapted when changes to the reference block/dataset are made.
Is there a better way to handle this? Can I include a shared dataset that I would define and maintain only once, in each single report definition?

Hi,
The use of the subtemplate for the centrally managed layout, is ok.
However I would like to be able to do the same thing for the datasets in the reports:
one centrally managed data set (definition) for the common dataset, which is dynamic!, and in our case, a rather complex query
and
datasets defined on a per report basis
It would be nice if we could do a kind of 'include dataset from another report' when defining the datasets for a report.
Of course, this included dataset is executed within each individual report.
This possibility would make the maintenance of this one central query easier than when we have to maintain this query in each of the 70 reports over and over again.

Need to know the path of current Form/Report

Hi All,
I need to know the path of the Current Report/Form, but i dont want to use
get_form_property(:system.current_form,file_name),
is their any other way for getting the current path from where the report/form is running
Imran Ahmed

Hi,
I dont want to use
get_form_property(:system.current_form,file_name)
because it give me the current directory with the form name for eg. (c:\dev6i\temp\abc.fmx) then i have to use
cur_file_name := get_form_property(:system.current_form,file_name);
total_length := length(cur_file_name);
cur_form_name_length := length(get_form_property(:system.current_form,form_name))+4;
path_length := total_length-cur_form_name_length;
cur_path:= substr(cur_file_name,1,path_length);
to get the actual path, and i dont find any function name GET_WORKING_DIRECTORY under WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT theie is get_windows_director and get_temp_directory but not the above, if you have that function then please mail me on [email protected] I also cannot use read_registry(forms_path) because in registry i have different paths.
Thank You

Do I need to buy an old version of Crystal Reports to put reports in browse

Hello,
I am doing some work for a small company of about 40 people. They need reports. Of course, I love using Crystal Reports and can create all the reports they need.
However, there is an application written in Excel using Userforms that is in place now. I was thinking of adding the old rdc from the past and let the users see their reports on a Userform.
As another option, I was thinking of putting the report in a html page in a browser and let the Excel Userform just have a link to the URL where the html page will show the reports.
Then I found out, the rdc is no longer being shipped. Crystal Server is way to expensive for the small need now.
How do you put Crystal Reports into a browser for the users to see? Do I need to buy something like the old Crystal Reports 10 that still had the rdc?
I just want to have a central place that my users can go to and pull up their reports. Doesn't need to be fancy. My reports will be fancy enough.
Thanks.

I think your best option is to discuss your needs with sales. From tech support stand point there are options such as the win based Crystal Reports viewer, web based CrystaReports.com (http://www.sap.com/solutions/sapbusinessobjects/sme/reporting-dashboarding/reporting/index.epx), custom apps using the RDC in win or web apps (you'd need CR XI r2 which I believe is still available. I don't think CR 10 is...). And of course, custom apps using .NET or Java.
