Where do we specify Report category in HR Adhoc query

Hi All.
We have a standard query which shows a selection screen which is different in Production. When I went into the program behind the query and saw the report category, it is different in both the environments.
I am not able to find where do we specify report category in the HR adhoc query.
Can anyone please guide?
Also, how is this possible that a standard report has different report category in Development and production env. ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Aishi

Hi,
There is no place in query, to maintain report category. Whenever an query is created, this table gets updated with default report category depending upon the LDB used. Now if you want to change this default screen to some other screen, then this is the only table where you can change the report category for that query or program.
According to me, you have to maintain this table only, if you want different report category, since there is no place in query where you can do this.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sarika.

OBIEE 11g Agent Includes Action Link Report Name

OBIEE 11g Agent Includes Action Link Report Name
I have a dashboard page with multiple reports. One of the reports has Action Links to drill to another report. When I view the dashboard as a web page, the report with the Action Links look fine. The link fields are colored blue. When I send this dashboard page as an HTML email, it shows the Action Link report name in the cell with the other data.
The dashboard page sent out as an agent should look the same as the web page and the Action Link report name should not be visible.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Eric

So you spoofed the values of the 2nd column to have the report act almost like a menu listing?
if that's the case then check the data type of column 2, it should be set to HTML. Then you will just need to build your HTML tag within the column formula.
Example below bins the year name into a Link HTML Tag:
'<a href="http://'|| CASE WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2011' THEN 'www.google.com' WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2012' THEN 'www.yahoo.com' ELSE 'www.apple.com' END || '" target="_blank" > ' || CASE WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2011' THEN 'www.google.com' WHEN "Time"."T05 Per Name Year" = '2012' THEN 'www.yahoo.com' ELSE 'www.apple.com' END || '</a>'
if that is not what you are attempting to do, please clarify.

Can I stop a report from Re-executing the query when I go back to that page

I have a report that has a complicated query and looks at a lot of information to display the results. This query then links of to show details of individual items that were displayed in the result. But when I hit the back button on the browser, it executes the query again and it takes a while for the page to load.
Is there any way to stop this and only execute the query when the User pushes a Button on the page else display the previous results.
Thanks
Sriram

Another alternative is to make that detail link open in a popup window using
javascript:popupURL(...);This way, the complicated report page is always visible.

Crystal Reports - OLE image maintain correct proportions

I'm using a CR 2008 to report off of a Oracle database.
The report consists of a three images per page.
The image comes from an OLE object which shows the image dynamically from an image path field as the graphic location.
My images are not all the same size.... Some are taller and some are wider than others.
So when these images display in a set area, some get squashed vertically and others horizontally. It's important tha the images maintain the correct aspect ratios.
I've played with "size and position", "can grow", "scaling" and "size", but still can't seem to make the scaling and proportions work for all my images.
Any advice from the experts would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Karen

Hi Jason, Dale
I have tried a multitude of different (and some crazy) combinations of parameters etc. I've also tried sub-reports wtih different parameters.
Nothing seems to work to include various sized images into a fixed frame and maintain proprtionality. It's a frustrating issue.
For new development of images that will be include in the report the image must meet the very strict size requirements. This is the only way to manage the image inclusion.
Thank you Jason for the link to some re-sizing software - this will be good to use with historic images.
If there is anyone out there that has some different ideas on how to handle this let us all know....... Please
Kindest regards
Karen

Using fiscal period and Fiscal quarter reporting seemlessly in a BI Query

Hi,
We have a very specific issue. Reporting the Fiscal Period( in our
case we have 53 fiscal periods) and Fiscal Quarter( we have 4 quarters)
in the same query seamlessly as we would have done using Calander Month
and Calander quarter in other reports that uses SAP delivered standard
time dimensions.
However unlike the Calander time dimension (SAP provided all
possible...0CALDAY, 0CALWEEK, 0CALMONTH, 0CALQUARTER, 0CALYEAR) where you have all of these inside your info provider, you can get
aggregation on week, month, quarter etc in your query seamlessly, The Fiscal Year/Period offers a problem in doing report seamlessly.
When we delve into Fiscal realm, SAP only provided with 0FISCVARNT,
0FISCPER, 0FISCYEAR and a special period 0FISCPER3. It doesn't provide
anything like 0FISCQUARTER etc and rightly so, because you can have
only one 0FISCVARNT in the Time dimension and can have related periods
(0FISCPER) only for a Row of data in your infocube. For example if you need to model as per the Fiscalweek, you can create a custom Fiscal year variant (Say z1) and can configure to have only 53 periods (Mapped to 0FISCPER) representing
53 Fiscal WEEK. Similarly for mapping Fiscal Quarter you can create
another fiscal year variant (Say Z2) and have only 4 periods (mapped to
0FISCPER also in this case) to represent the 4 Fiscal Quarter. However
the issue is that for one record you can only map either of those and
not both since you can only have one Fiscal year variant in one row of
data in the info provider.
For example
If I have two rows OF DATA coming from different sources (One FOR
Fiscal Week and another for Fiscal Quarter) I can have the following in
my info provider.
1> Example data in Fiscal
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0FISCVARNT 0FISCPER Quantity
X ...... y .....10/22/07 ....Z1 .... 432007 .......10
X ....... Y .....10/22/07 ....Z2 .... Q32007 .......20
The issue is how do I report the Quantity in a query in Quarter Q3 as
(10 + 20 = 30) since both the rows corresponds to FISCAL Q32007?
(Please note that Fiscal week 432007(For VARIANT Z1 ) actually is
Fiscal Quarter Q32007( For Fiscal Variant Z2) as per our
configuration of Fiscal Year Variant configuration Z1 and Z2)
The same is very simple when I have infoprovider with CALENDAR Time
dimensions , for example if we dont have any fiscal reporting
requirement and just report on calendar time dimension the record in
the info provider would look like the following ( example)
2> Example Data in CALENDAR DIMENSION
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0CALWEEK 0CALQUARTER Quantity
X ........ y .......10/22/07 .......432007 .......Q32007 .......10
X ........Y .......10/22/07 ....... 442007 .......Q32007 .......20
Here we can use both 0CALQUARTER and get the data aggregated on the
quarter level in addition to the 0CALWEEK.
To solve this issue, One option that we are thinking of Using 0CALQUARTER to represent the
Fiscal Quarter and use Update rule to populate this one. For example
THE example 1 can be as follows.
1A> Example of using 0CALQUARTER along with 0FISCVARNT and 0FISCPER
Char1 Char2 0CALDAY 0FISCVARNT 0FISCPER 0CALQUARTERE Quantity
X .......y .......10/22/07 ..............Z1 .......432007 .......Q32007 ..............10
X .......Y .......10/22/07 ..............Z2 .......Q32007 .......Q32007 ..............20
In this case we would populate the 0CALQUARTER by the actual Fiscal
Quarter and then can use both as per example 2 above. But this is not a
smooth option since we have various other info providers to join and
report based on solely Fiscal Quarter etc
I am certain that this issue have already been solved by somebody as this bound to happen in any finance application.
Would appreciate if we can get some light on this regarding the data modelling, reporting etc.
Thanks
Arun G.

You have yourself suggested a solution, which is fine,
Other option is to have a new characteristic Fiscal Qtr in all the infoproviders ans update the same using a routine in the updaterule depending on the fiscal year variant.
for eg. for transaction with variant Z1 in one case you can say if fiscal week 01 between 01 to 13 the Fiscal Qtr should be update with1 and if it is between 14 to 26 then update fiscal qtr with 2 and so on.
For other Variants Z2 you write a different login in the routine ans so on.
so for all the data irrespective of the variant you will have the qtr as either 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 and you can report on this fiscal qtr.
assign points if it helps.

Adhoc Query report not working fine

Hi,
We have a customized infotype 9222 which stores the previous experience of the employees.
Now I have created a adhoc query in which I have added this infotype.The problem which I am facing is when I put the Indian company codes and run the report, the report is working fine . But when I put a Ukraine Company Code and then run the report ; the report does not picks the experience details of the employees and it shows Zero Yrs and Zero months.
I have checked in PA30 the experience details are maintained for the Ukraine employees.
Is their any setting in the system which allows the infotype for a particular company? or what may be the reason for the strange behaviour of the report towards a specific compant code. Please reply asap

Hi ,
Pls check do you have authorization or not for to create Object Directory entry.
Thanks and Regards,

Adhoc Query Report

Hi SAPients..
I have a n issue in Adhoc Query
In Adhoc query report ( PQAH ), X person having authorization to see the folder Additional Personal Data (IT0077), but Y person can access the Adoc but could not see the folder (IT0077). Please guide what should I do to make the Y person can view the (IT0077) folder??
Appreciate your support on this, Please guide me.
Shan

Hi Shan,
What I undertand is as follows:
Person is having access to view IT77 and Y person is having access to t code - PQAH (Ad Hoc Reprot). you want to give Y person access of IT77.
In this case you would need to add the concerned role to y person's SAP user id by which he ll get acces to maintain IT77 ands also can download the report. The role name you can get from your security team or GRC team.
Hope this solves your query.

Automating ADHOC query reports to generate Emails

Hi Experts
Hope you guys are doing fine.
I have a requirement where we need to automate the ADHOC query reports to trigger emails with the Excel attachment of the report to a set of users.
To explain in detail,we have some adhoc queries which are run manually on monthly basis(by our functional guys).Once the output report is generated,they used to download them into Excel document and send that to a set of users as an email attachment.
Now we are planning to automate the entire process,so that these query reports once set to run on monthly basis should trigger emails to set of users with the excel attachment.
Now,i am looking for solution on how to proceed on this.Since the program behind the query(which starts with AQ*) is not be a modifiable program,i can write any custom code here.Alternately,i planned to set a background job which runs the query and then use a custom pgm which reads the spool no for the pgm and then to read the data from the spool into an internal table and then use a FM to send the internal table data as an email attachment.But wasn't sure of what FM's to use to read the spool no. and data from the spool.
Is there any alternate way to work on this or any suggestions on my assumed process would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Ok, here's what you do:
- Go to T/C: SQ01 and find your query
- From the menu at the top select Query>More functions>Display Report Name (copy the report name)
- Go to Transaction SO23 and create a new shared distribution list - give it a name and title, click the dropdown on folder and click the create folder button, give the folder a name and save/green tick.
- Click on the Dist. list content tab and enter all the external email addresses that the report should go to ( the recipient type should be internet address or via internet or something like that)
- Go to Transaction SM36 and click on the Job wizard button, go through the wizard entering the program name we copied earlier. In the print parameters section make sure it is set to print immediately, then on the spool list recipients button select the dropdown box, select distributions lists and find the one you created earlier. Define the variants, periods, time etc etc
- When the job runs it will process the output via SAPConnect (transaction SCOT) you will be able to see the status of the emails by going to transaction SCOT and selecting the menu option Utilities>Overview send requests.
Job Done, Chillax
PS: remember the output type of the query in SQ01 needs to be set to excel or whatever you require otherwise a PDF/html attachment will be created in the email.
PPS: If SAPConnect is not set up in your system speak to your basis guy to set it up - If you don't have any basis resource, it is really easy to set up, plenty of guides around.

Personnel sub-area Value
Personnel sub-area Text
Company code Value

2. I need the list of employee who has taken leaves, and leave types are picked from infotype 2001. Here i am getting complete list of employees(employees who has not taken leaves)
So can we prepare a report employees who went on leaves based on the above requirement.
Please find the attachment.

On a more serious note,
A query is a simple spitting out of all the data, based on the fields you have selected, So if atleast one field has a valid value, and "Personnel Number" is one such field, you will get an output in the report.
What you will have to do is to assign certain key fields as selection fields as well as output fields, when designing the Ad-Hoc query.
Then use selection criteria to get out only the results you want, for example Absence Type = Annual Leave( don't want to type the abbreviation here), date range of BEGDA - 01.01.2014 - 30.04.2014, for example. Using Employment Status as a Selection field but not an Output field can help with ensuring inactive employees (i.e people with default positions) are not selected.
I often find that in any case, one always has to download the query output into Excel and do some final manipulations using filters and pivots etc.
Also, play around with the Key Date field, in the query design screen - see what happens if you use "Today" rather than a wider date range.
Hope this helps.

HTML Report with images in LabVIEW 6.1

I am generating an HTML report in LabVIEW 6.1 with an image. When I
save the html file to disk, two files are saved, the report and the
image. The report has the name I specified but the image does not.
It is not readily apparent that the two are related. As a result,
when I try and e-mail or move the report, the image gets left behind.
Is there a way to embed the image file in the report? Or what is the
best way to associate these two files so they can be e-mailed
together?
Tim Erickson

Tim,
Unfortunately, HTML does not include images.
A suggestion would be to create a GIF image, or to put everything in a zip file, or something to that effect.
I had to work with HTML documentation for LabVIEW, and actually used LabVIEW to substitute the images for control types with words, such that images were not required. You can try this if your images are nothing more than representations for which text can be substituted.
Alternatively, if your image is something like a graph, or the front panel, I might suggest creating a .gif or .jpg image out of it. This has to be done manually, but will make the page one single file.
Good luck, I hope that helps.
