NWBC MSS Reporting launchpad caching reports

I have been configuring the MSS reports using LPD_CUST and I found that my changes weren't being reflected in the MSS Reporting launchpad. When I then moved on to another user the changes were there. There must be some sort of Caching going on and I wonder if anyone knows how to clear this.
I have tried clearing the table CKLTEX and this doesnt work. I saw Chris Paine had detailed on another discussion how to clear the NWBC cache but we are using NWBC html not desktop and this option doesnt seem to be available.
If I could find the function/class/method that gets the report list for a Role|Instance this would also help if anyone knows that?
Regards
Rob.

Report launchpad is not working under MSS

Hi,
We are configuring MSS and now the report launchpad is showing errors like Role: MSS instance: REP NOT_FOUND.
I know we need to configure the MDT scenario and then change the iView property. But I could not find the documentation on which property in the launchpad iView to change and how to change it to mactch the scenario we defined in MDT.
Can anyone help?

hi,
Even i had the same probelm.. which i reported to SAP.. they replied me with folowing message :-
hanks for the message.
Kindly check whether corrections of Note 940552 are implemented in your
system.
Some of the customers reported the same issue. In their case they
got no reports if they run program #PWPC_CONV_MDT_TO_LPA# with type
#RPT0# because the Report Launchpad was not initialized.
You could also solve the problem if you start the customizing of the
report launchpad. ( Transaction FPB_LP_MSS_REP_CUST )
If you do that the first time you will get a popup
that ask you whether you want a tree at the left side or not.
For the Manager Self Service you could say no and then you must save
the launchpad.
Now the launchpad is initialized and you could run the report for
inserting the MDT reports.
If you want also add the financials report please implement at first
the correction at note 954301.
After that you could also insert the Financials reports.
I asume certain table contents are not delivered, because they form partof Launchpad customization.
Please implement any of the two solutions;
1) (Preferred sol.) Start the customization of the Launchpad (
Transaction FPB_LP_MSS_REP_CUST ). Check that table FPB_LP6_SNI is no
longer empty, and has the required entry. Then run the transaction to
convert.
2) Manually add the line to table FPB_LP6_SNI. The values are role =
'MSS', instance = 'REP', and sni_used = ' ' (blank). Then run the
transaction to convert.

No reports displayed in MSS Report Launchpad

Hello everybody,
We set up ESS/MSS on a distributed environment.
Backend:
     ECC 6.0 EhP 3
     Single-ABAP Stack
     Installed Backend Component EA-HR 603
     Activated Backend Function EA_FIN_1
Portal:
     NW 7.0 SPS 17
     Single-Java Stack
     Installed Components: SAPPCUI_GP 603 SP4, SAP_ESS 603 SP3, SAP_MSS 600 SP15
Problem
The configuration works fine for a couple of ESS and MSS iViews and pages, but we get the following problem with MSS Reports:
-> When calling the Launchpad no reports are displayed and an info message is shown telling "No objects were personalized".
-> When clicking on "Change Launchpad" you see several reports sorted in groupings. They are already listed in the table of shown reports but are not displayed in the launchpad.
-> When clicking on "Save and Exit" you get two additional info messages telling "No Applications entered", but no reports are displayed. When you then open "change launchpad" screen again the reports totally disappear from table of shown reports.
Portal Launchpad Configuration:
-> pcd:portal_content/com.sap.pct/every_user/com.sap.pct.erp.common
-> The launchpad iView connects to the backend via SSO which works fine for a lot of other ESS/MSS iViews
-> As application parameters the following is configured: "class=CL_FPB_SNI_ACCESS&role=MSS&instance=REP&display_external=X"
Backend Customization:
-> When launching transaction "fpb_launchpad_cust" with role MSS and instance REP you can see all the reports which are displayed in "change launchpad" screen.
-> All the reports are Transaction Reports
-> The Manager's Desktop (MDT) is not used
So:
1.) Why are the reports not displayed in the launchpad, but in the "Change Launchpad" screen?
2.) Did we forget any customizing?
3.) Why do we see such info messages like "No objects were personalized"?
4.) And what refers the application parameter "class=CL_FPB_SNI_ACCESS" to?
Please help me,
Dennis

Hi everybody,
finally we managed to fix this bug on our own.
We set up the Managers Desktop (MDT) as suggested by SAP. But the MDT's reports could not be converted to the launchpad.
Then we recognized via debugging that for any reason the following entries were missing in table FPB_LP6_SNI_REQ:
- Role ROLE C 3 MSS
- Instance INSTANCE C 3 REP
Adding these entries manually fixed the problem.

MSS Report Launchpad

Hi everybody!!!
We're implementing Manager Self Service EHP 4 , and we are facing an issue when whe execute any report in Report Launchpad.
We get this message : <CacheRefresh mode="Partial" execution="asynchronous" />
And we dont know if some configuration has been skipped, cause we have executed PWPC_CONVERT_MDT_TO_LPA in SE38, also FPB_LP_WRITE_ENTRIES program.
Please let me know how can we fix this issue.
Best Regards!!!

For reports to work properly you need to have BP for common parts working fine. Redeployment of this package can also help.
The only configurations from R/3 end are activation of services (your EP person would know), along with standard steps given in N06_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_US.doc of Business Best Practices.

Report Launchpad in Portal. BP for ISR 1.41

Hi Experts,
I've just installed in the "Business Packages for Internal Sales Representative 1.41" and carried out the necessary configuration. Everything seems to be working except the Report Launchpad. When I click on "Analytics" I get the following error.
com.sapportals.portal.prt.runtime.PortalRuntimeException: Failed in WD JNDI lookup. javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: No child found in WebDynproContext with name mss~lpa
mss~lpa is the report launchpad that comes with ERP Common Parts 1.41 and I can see that it exists in the Portal Content Directory.
Do you have any idea how I can get this working?
Kind regards,
Andrew

Hi Andrew
Thats because the Iview is a Web dynpro for Java Iview. And it wants to call the Web dynpro application mss~lpa application.
So, that means that you have to deploy the MSS business package with the (pcui package also). Setup jco connections etc...and see if that helps.
However, interesting enough there is a launchpad iview for ABAP, where you can call the Launchpad directly from backend.
Se for example the business package for Quality Inspection ENH3, here they instead uses an webdynpro for ABAP Iview for the launchpad(com.sap.pct.erp.common.lpd_application).
I am curreently trying to figure out how i can get it(business package for internal sales rep.) to use the web dynpro for ABAP Iview instead of the Java Iview which apperently needs the business package for MSS. And It all boils down to configuring the launchpad in the backend...which is not at all documentet as i have experienced it(if you find any doc...please forward).
Also remember to deploy the business package for Common components or business the common package .

Report Launchpad (WDA) with APB_LAUNCHPAD

Hi,
I'm exploring the lpd_cust (Report Launchpad ABAP) in conjunction with APB_LAUNCHPAD to configure our application homepage. I have several questions :
1. Within LPD_CUST, I cannot configure or influence how each of the folders (along with the applications) appear, i.e. layout in row or column-wise. I have 2 folders, each folder is displayed on a separate column. I would prefer the 2 folders to be displayed within a column. How can we influence the layout of the folders (and the applications under the folder) ?
2. Is there a BADI or exit where I can show/hide the display, depending on user criteria ?
3. Whether it supports ITS based applications. I don't find it under the list of application category.
Appreciate any advice. Thank you.
Regards
Kir Chern

Dear Siddharth Rajora,
I have the impression that manager desktop is "phased out", and furthermore, I am not using MSS. I want to design a homepage to group some of my custom Web Dynpro applications, and am thinking to use lpd_cust along with the application APB_LAUNCHPAD to display the page. Is it a must that I have to use Manager Desktop in order to fullfil my requirement ? Thank you.

Collapse reports in reporting launchpad

Hi,
We are using reporting launchpad for MSS just connected to a ERP system.
At the moment we have long list of reports in diffrent categories. Does anyone know if it is possbile to group the reports, and then collapse the "category".
i.e. we have three reports under leave overview. It look now lik this
leave overvirew
- report 1
- report 2
- report 3
I want to hide the reports so that the end user must click on the heading leaveoverview befor he sees the report.
Ingvild

hi ingvild
you need to carry out a development of webdynpro page where this can be achieved.
you can use old reporting iview.
if you use old iviews then it has a different way of presentation which will allow you to achieve the objective.
thank you

Unable to refresh the data on a cached report.

Hi,
I am using the CR4E component on a Tomcat server.
I am having real difficulty to getting a cached report to refresh. Basically when the report is first displayed it is okay, then some further data is added to the database, and when the report is redisplayed (with the same parameters) it is still displaying the cached information. This is specific for the subreports. I basically always want my reports to refresh when they are displayed.
I know this must be simple but I just can't get to work, or find any example code.
I have tried a couple of options:
Option 1:
clientDoc.open(rptName, OpenReportOptions._openAsReadOnly+OpenReportOptions._refreshRepositoryObjects);
This said it could not be implemented before loging in....and the documentation says this only work for the RAS.
Option 2:
     CrystalReportViewer reportViewer = null;
     try {
          HttpSession session = request.getSession();
          reportViewer = PrepareSignetManifestReport(aryCrates, dateFrom, dateTo, dateSent, session, serContext, false);
          //if (session.getAttribute("refreshed") == null) {
               reportViewer.refresh();
               //session.setAttribute("refreshed", "true");
          reportViewer.processHttpRequest(request,response,serContext,out);
     finally
          if (reportViewer != null) {
               reportViewer.dispose();
When I add the 'reportViewer.refresh()' i then get the following error:
"Some parameters are missing values "
Any pointer in the right direction would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Matt.

Hi,
On looking into this issue it is just the sub-report that does not refresh when loaded from the session. The main report is okay. We are using JDBC with Oracle 10g.
Even if I change the parameters the main report refreshes okay, but the subreport doesn't.
Is there a work-around for this problem?
My code is pretty much based on the standard code generated by the system in the CRJavaHelper class so I am confident that my code is okay.
I really appreciate some help here as I have a client not trusting their continuity because it doesn't display in the report and I don't want to have to close the report each time because of the performance. I have tried reseting the parameter fields
Thanks
Matt.

Web.show_document() to display report in cache?

AS & DS 10.1.2.0.2.
I try to use run_report_object to generate report in Forms.
Report Destination Type: CACHE
report status 'FINISHED'
I checked cache <o-h>\reports\cache, the report is there. But nothing is show on screen.
Do I HAVE TO use web.show_document('url') to display report in cache?
If yes, what url I should use? If no (hope so), what I should do to bring the report to browser?
Thanks.

Do I HAVE TO use web.show_document('url') to display report in cache?Yes. See examples in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frm10gsrw10g.pdf

Retrieving Reports from Cache

10gAS 9.0.4.1
Reports 9.0.2.0.3
First Issue:
I am trying to reuse reports from cache. I have caching turned on in my rep_<server>.conf file, and the following entry in my cgicmd.dat file:
rep17: report=<report name>.jsp <parameter>=%1 desformat=pdf destype=cache server=<report server> paramform=no ssoconn=<rad> tolerance=30
Each time I run the report, a new copy is generated in the cache directory. The report returned to me is the new copy. Should the report server not retrieve an earlier copy of the report as long as it was generated within the last 30 minutes?
Second Issue:
When I run the report URL in Internet Explorer (version 6.0.2800.1106CO), 2 copies of the report output are created in cache. When using Netscape (version 7.2), only 1 copy of the report output is generated in cache. What are the issues with IE that cause two copies of the report output to be generated?

Hi Birol,
Can you please tell me is the content you have used in that "BAPI_DOCUMENT_CHECKOUTVIEWX programme"????

MSS - Adding a Standard report to the reporting section

Hi All,
I want to add Birthday list report to the reporting section in MSS.
Right now I have ee due to retire report, I want to deactivate this report and add standard Report " Birthday List".
Please guide.
Checked PPMDT, there is no brthday list report. How to add this to the set of reports.?
Regards,
Swati Sahu

the birthday list query had inconsistencies , resolved the inconsistencies and then could see the report in the MSS. For removing a report goto
Personnel management > HRIS > HIS > Define task Functions.
Remove the report entry which is not required. At the same place new reports can be added.

MSS - selection list in Reporting Tool

Hi experts,
I've designed two orgview groups and two report categories for Reporting Tool of MSS. I would like to display each orgview respectively depending on the category of the report I select.
I know the portal calls the FM HRWPC_RFC_OADP_GET_ORGVIEWGRP to create orgview, but have no idea how should I enhance or modify the FM. Any idea? Thanks.

APEX 3.0: Report attribute caching

Hi,
I saw that the cached report attributes (like Number of Rows) are discarded when they are changed in the APEX Builder. That's great and a big improvement compared to APEX 2.2, because in the old version you had to logout and relogin to see the changes to take effect.
But :-)
there seems to be a small flow in that fix, because the new settings only take effect if you do something with the report, eg change ordering.
Steps to reproduce on the "Sample Application"
1) Go to page 3
2) Run the page
3) Go back into the APEX Builder, click onto the "Report" link of the "Products" report
4) Change "Number of Rows" to 5
5) Run the page
=> Still shows 10 records
6) Click on the heading of "Name" to change the ordering
=> Vola, now you have the 5 records
I think the 5 should already show up at the first run of the page, that behavior could be confusing for people.
Patrick
Check out my APEX-blog: http://inside-apex.blogspot.com
Check out the ApexLib Framework: http://apexlib.sourceforge.net

Hi Sharon,
I'm really interested why this is 'sort of' by design, because the current behavior can be confusing if you don't know it.
Thanks
Patrick

Does SSRS Cache report generate a new cache automatically after expiration?

When you cache a report in SSRS 2008 and set it to expire after a number of minutes, for example 30 minutes, Does the report refresh after it expires and generate a new cached report automatically or it refreshes only when the report is requested or run?
For example, if I run the report at 10:00AM, it will expire at 10:30AM, then when someone else runs the report at 11:15AM, Will there have been a new Cached report or it will be processed as new(in other words, it is not based on a Cached report)?
Thanks!

Hi,
When the expire time is reached, the new cache will not be created until the next time the report is requested.
If someone runs the report at 11:15AM, the last used time would be 11:15AM and it will be expired at11:20AM. There is no cached report, unless you have a cache refreah plan.
You can check the ExecutionCache table in the ReportServerTempDB to verify if a new cache is created or not.
