    When I rename resource "ABC" to "XYZ" and search the user 120120, it is showing me "XYZ" resource is assinged to 120120. this is right.
    But same thing that is resource "XYZ" is not getting updated in **User XML**.

    Hi William,
    I don't know of any standard report of Function module  which will directly update  the addrress of location , however you can develop a custom  report  for update of addreess of plant from R/3 to SRM using the Function module "BUPA_ADDRESSES_GET' , "BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE" and table  'ADDR'.
    use " BUPA_ADDRESS_GET"  to get address number using the partner id of location.
    search on table 'ADDR" with the address number  to get the address detail .
    compare the address detail  with the R/3 plant address.
    use function module "BUPA_ADDRESS_CHANGE"  to update the address.
    hope this would help.
    Please reward points for helpful answer.
    cheers!!

  • Using a SQL data source and XML data source in the same template

    I am trying to develop a template for the Request for Quote report generated in Apps 11.5.10. I have loaded the data from the XML output into the template, but I am missing one field - I need the org_id from the po_headers table. Is it possible to use a sql data source (i.e., "select org_id from po_headers_all where po_header_id = [insert header_id from xml data]...") in addition to the xml data source to populate the template at runtime? When you use the Insert > SQL functionality is it static at the time the template is created, or does it call to the database at runtime? I've looked through all the docs I could find, but this isn't clear.
    Thanks for any help or suggestions you may have.
    Rhonda

    Hi Pablo
    Thats a tough one ... if you go custom with a data template you will at least get support on the data template functionality ie you have a problem when you try and build one. You will not get support on the query inside the data template as you might have gotten with the Oracle Report, well you could at least log a bug against development for a bad query.
    Eventually that Oracle Report will be converted by development anyway, theres an R12 project going on right now to switch the shipped OReports to data templates. AT this point you'll be fully supported again but:
    1. You have to have R12 and
    2. You'll need to wait for the patch
    On reflection, if you are confident enough in the query then Oracle will support you on its implementation within a data template. Going forward you may be able to swap out your DT and out in the Oracle one without too much effort.

  • Build a table based on XML data set with Spry

    Hi there,
    I'm new to spry technology therefore forgive any basic question of mine.
    I'm trying to fill content in a table based on XML data set values but nothing is shown :-(
    here is my code.... any suggestion? pls tell me where I'm wrong.
    Thank you in advance
    <script src="SpryAssets/xpath.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="SpryAssets/SpryData.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var uscite = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data/Calendario 2011.xml", "csv_data_records/record", {sortOnLoad: "Date", sortOrderOnLoad: "ascending"});
    uscite.setColumnType("Date", "date");
    uscite.setColumnType("km", "number");
    </script>
    <div class="RankContainer" id="UsciteDiv" spry:region="uscite" >
              <table width="100%" border="0" class="RankTable">
                <tr>
                  <th width="10%" scope="col" spry:sort="Date">Data</th>
                  <th width="20%" scope="col">Destinazione</th>
                  <th width="5%" scope="col">KM</th>
                  <th width="35%" scope="col">Percorso</th>
                  <th width="30%" scope="col">Breve</th>
                 <!-- <th width="15%" scope="col">Mappa</th>-->
                </tr>
                <tr>
                   <script type="text/javascript">
           var rows = uscite.getData();
        for (var i = 0; i < rows.length; i++)
         if (rows[i]["Mappa"].startsWith("/"))
          rowContent = "<td> si </td>";
         else
              rowContent = "<td> no </td>";
         document.write("<td>{Date}</td>");
         document.write("<td>"+rowContent+"</td>");
         document.write("<td>{km}</td>");
         document.write("<td>{Percorso}</td>");
         document.write("<td>{Breve}</td>");
          </script>
               </tr>
              </table>
           </div>

    Sure this is how it should work (except that no anchor tag shall be present for Destinazione whereas Mappa has no real value in)

    and this is the non working page

    Hi Jay,
    From Delta queue(RSA7) ur BW system is going to fetch the records of R3 or source system.
    After extraction process it reaches RSA7 from there when u triggers infopackage
    the job is ready to flood ur D.target with records.
    Ensure that records are there for corresponding D.source this has to be attained thro' various Update methods(v3).
    DataSource that is generated in SAP BW on the basis of a file-DataSource and
    that can be used to push data to SAP BW

  • BI Admin Tool and XSLT transformation for XML data source - How it works ?

    Hello,
    There is a possibility to import data from XML data source using BI Admin Tool.
    In the import window we can point XSLT file. What is the purpose of that XSLT field?
    Why I am asking ?
    I thought it is smth like XSLT processor, but simply it doesnt work.
    What I did:
    - I pointed XML data source file
    - I pointed XSLT transformation file
    - Click OK, and still get the message that the XML file structure is not supported
    After that I transformed that XML file with some desktop XSLT processor using the same XSLT file, and I tried to connect that file directly using BI Admin tool.Then it works. So it means that the transformation is ok.
    So basically one question comes to my mind in that situation:
    What is the purpose of XSLT field in BI Admin Tool when it comes to XML data source ?
    (it doesnt look like XSLT processor)
    Greetings
    /Michal

    Hi Mariano
    Why you need to use XSLT for transforming XML file into ABAP table
    Code is a part of some ABAP report. Looks like it is reading a file from file system and updating table after transformation
    If you have requirement like you need to read XML file and then insert the data into a SAP table
    You can use
    File to RFC
    File to Proxy scenario using SAP PI.
    Please provide more inputs on requirement to help
    Thanks

  • JRC and XML Data Source

    Hi!
    Does the JRC execute a report with an XML data source (URL XML Http and URL XSD Http) ?
    If yes, does the JRC change programmatically the XML data source (URL XML Http and URL XSD Http) prior to execute the report?
    There is an example to do this?
    Best regards,
    A.

    Hi,
    I've follow the example [ftp://ftp.businessobjects.com/pub/incoming/XML_XSD_sample_reports_XI.zip]
    and i've use the "JRC_Display_Connection_Info"on a xml to display all of the properties.
    After i've make a program for change the datasource in the case of "xml http" database.
    Changes the DataSource for a specific Table from XML

                             // Update the table information
                             clientDoc.getDatabaseController().setTableLocation(origTable, newTable);
    But i don't know why if i call:
    System.out.println(reportClientDoc.getDatabaseController().getDatabase().getTables().getTable(0).getConnectionInfo().getAttributes().toString());
    on my
    ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();               
    reportClientDoc.open(ReportName, 0);
    after changeDataSourceXML i've one more attribute than those defined by me called PreQEServerType that take the Server_Type value.
    I think that is the cause of the output error of my program on the export method
    ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);

  • XML data source - Performance problem

    Environment - Crystal Reports 2008 , crjava-runtime_12.2.200 jar files, Java 1.5  and XML data source
    We are generating reports from our java application. .rpt file is designed using CR 2008 .
    The problem we have is its taking longer time to generate a report. Atleast its taking 5-6 minutes. XML file size is around 300 KB. .rpt file size is 2000 KB.
    Steps involved in report generation in Java program.
    1. Creating ReportClientDocument.
    2.Opening ReportClientDocument( reportClientDocument.Open())
    3. constructing XML datasource IXMLDataSet(xml_ds). ( setting XML and XSD)
    4. setting the datasource to database controller. -- reportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().setDataSource(xml_ds, "", "")
    5. then exporting the report in pdf format.
    I don't know what I am doing wrong. Please advise me to improve the performance of this function.
    Thanks,
    Makesh

    Ted,
    I figured out the cause of the problem. I am using JDeveloper as my IDE thats causing the delay. When I deployed the application and ran it, it took just 30 secs for the report using "Pushing" mechanism. Thats amazing. Thanks for your support.
    I have another problem. I am not sure whether to post a separate thread for this problem. Anyway I explain the problem here. If you think it needs another thread, I will post a new one.
    When I use my IDE or the following command JRC runs fine and generates the reports with graphs and all.
    java -classpath C:\JDK\java1.5\bin\CERT.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\jdbc\lib\ojdbc14dms.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\jdbc\lib\orai18n.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\jdbc\lib\ocrs12.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\diagnostics\lib\ojdl.jar;C:\oracle\JDeveloper10.1.3\lib\dms.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\log4j-1.2.8.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\com.azalea.ufl.barcode.1.0.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\commons-collections-3.1.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\commons-configuration-1.2.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\commons-lang-2.1.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\commons-logging.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\CrystalCommon2.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\CrystalReportsRuntime.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\cvom.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\DatabaseConnectors.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\icu4j.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\jai_imageio.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\JDBInterface.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\jrcerom.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\keycodeDecoder.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\log4j.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\logging.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\pfjgraphics.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\QueryBuilder.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\webreporting-jsf.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\webreporting.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\XMLConnector.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\CRLib\xpp3.jar;C:\Apps\CERTLib\iText-2.1.5.jar -Xms256m -Xmx512m com.cert.gui.CERTMainFrame
    Note: CERT.jar has all the application classes and library classes.
    But when I package all these jar files in to single jar file and run the below command, it generates reports with all the features except Graphs.

    I need the above command to run successfully as I am planning to use java web start for application deployment.
    Please help me to solve this problem.

    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    Hi,
    I am creating a report which has a xml data source.
    I have a field named fieldvalue in the xml, I need to present this fieldvalue in a column format based on the name of the column heading which is another field in the database called fielddata
    here is what i want
    fielddata1     fielddata2    fielddata3 .......
    fieldvalue1    fieldvalue2   fieldvalue3......
    i have dragged the fieldvalue 3 times in the report and applied different formula for each one of them
    here is the eg. of the formula
    if ( = "A" ) then
    but it is not giving me the correct values pulled from the data source. for the first column it is pulling correctly but for the rest of the columns it is giving values as 0's.
    Can anyone help me out in this? It is pretty urgent!
    Thanks

    I have no idea how to format it in Crystal Reports (i'm new to it too), but if worse comes to worse, you can create an XSLT stylesheet to convert the XML into a format that is easier for Crystal to use. 
    In case you don't know XSLT is a programming language that is designed to convert one XML format into another.

  • Problem with multiple XML data sources

    Hi there,
    I have a template (i'm using XML publisher). I need to use 2 different XML data files in the same template, but i couldn't find any way of doing so. Can somebody help me with this issue please? You obviously cannot load 2 XML Data sources in the same template.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Luke

    Is your xml stored some where,
    then
    Create datatemplate and use the xml as datasource.
    You can create it using the following sysntax
    <dataTemplate name="Employee" description="L" version="1.0">
    <dataQuery>
    <xml name="xml_emp" expressionPath=".//ROW">
    <url method="GET" realm="" username="" password="">
    file:///C:/dept_employee.xml</url>
    </xml>
    <xml name="xml_dept" expressionPath=".//ROW">
    <url method="GET" realm="" username="" password="">
    file:///C:/dept.xml</url>
    </xml>
    </dataQuery>
    <dataStructure>
    <group name="EMP" source="empxml">
    <element name="NAME" value="ENAME"/>
    your element here
    </group>     
    <group name="DEPT" source="xm_DEPTl">
    <element name="DNAME" value="DPTNAME"/>
    your element from 2nd xml here
    </group>     
    </dataStructure>
    </dataTemplate>
    Now your two xml source will become single source for the report.

  • How to model a XML Data Source

    Hi Experts,
    I have to model a XML Data Source. Usually I have to load texts and attributes separately (for 'normal' data sources). But I have only one xml file. Should I design one 'big' data source and accordingly one 'big' info package for all the xml data? Or should I create several data sources for one xml file?
    Best Regards,
    Denise

    hi Denise,
    as far as i know,
    the function xml datasource is generated after we assign infosource with 'flat file' source system, so if you do it from infosource of master data, then you may need separately as 'normal' datasources. if you want to go with the 'big' and 'big' (datasource/infosource and infopackage), then you can create a 'big' infosource with transfer structure fields sequence same as xml structure, and set the master data characteristics to be update as 'infoprovider' (rsa1->infoproviders->choose infoarea and right click 'insert characteristic as infoprovider', then create update rules for these characteristics and assign it with 'big' infosource.

  • How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

    Hi,
    Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Sourashree,
    Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
    1.     New Report
    2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
    3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
    4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D  -> Finish
    Then I can see the following under XML
    + CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
            CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
    And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
         CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
    Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
    For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

    Characteristic details belonging to Order line 5
    How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
    I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

    Can anyone help me out what is the process of writing a log file in the XML Data Source Report. for eg: in Plsql we use FND_LOG.PUT_LINE to print the Log message in the Concurrent Request Output. in the similar manner, when we develop a report using XML, where we write Coding in XQuery of XML, what is the process need to follow to print the logs for the XQuery.
    Any inputs/Suggestion on this Highly appreciable.
    Thanks in advance.

    Create an RMI application (for example) that writes the log, and let all logging calls call that remote application.
    Something like that is the only feasible way that doesn't require you to have a drive on the remote machine mapped to the local one (which causes its own problems as you could have multiple simultaneous write attempts...).
