Does EBS license include tools for reporting and extracting data (queries)

Hello,
I'm recommending Oracle EBS to a customer and I need to mention what tools for reporting and extracting data (queries) are included in a Oracle EBS license.
I hope you can help me with that information, or at least with providing me the place where I can get the info.
Thanks in advance,
A/P Sergio Maestri

Hi,
Thanks, I think the same ... but the customer asked me about it ... I supose my answer will be that he can use Reports Builder for reporting and Toad or PLSQL Developer to access to the database and make queries ...
What about XML Publisher ? ...it can be used to make reports against an Oracle EBS database and integrate them into the EBS Application ?I believe you need a developer license to use Oracle Developer (Forms/Reports) for customizing/creating reports.

And IINM, the same thing applied to XML Publisher -- See this thread for a similar discussion.

Crystal Report Viewer Credential Prompt for Report with Dynamic Parameters

The .NET Crystal Report Viewer is prompting for database credentials when launching a report containing dynamic parameters. This only occurs for reports created with SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer. Reports created with Crystal Reports XI designer (where dynamic parameters were first introduced) work correctly.
The credential prompt window contains the following fields:
- Server Name: <server name> (disabled)
- Database Name: <database name> (disabled)
- User Name: <empty> (enabled)
- Password: <empty> (enabled)
- Use Single Signon Key: false (disabled)
The values in the prompt window which are disabled are the database connection values used during the design of the report in the SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer.
Expected Result:
- No prompt for database credentials.
- Values read from the database should be populated in a drop down for the dynamic parameters.
Environment:
- Visual Studio 2010 (C#)
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4
- SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010
- SAP Crystal Reports 2011
The database connection is being set to use a DSN. It must be a DSN as the calling application is only aware of the DSN/Username/Password values. These values are being passed to the Crystal Report Viewer contained in a Windows form.
The database connection for the report is being set as follows:
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection otherwise the connection does not work
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Supposed to set the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
The SetConnection method's signature is as follows:
   SetConnection(string server, string database, string name, string password)
As you can see from the code snippet above I am setting the DSN name as the server parameter, blank for the database parameter (a database connection using DSN should only require DSN name/Username/Password) and the database username and password respectively.
Is this a SAP bug?
Is this the correct way of setting the database connection to use a DSN?
Is there some other properties that need to be set somewhere else in the report through code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the pointer to the database connection code generator. After taking a look at the output from the tool I was able to finally get the dynamic parameters to load and populate properly without prompting for credentials. I needed to tweak the outputted code a bit to match my requirements of using a DSN only connection.
Instead of updating the database connection properties contained within the Report.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalReports.Engine namespace, I changed it to replace the database connection properties in the Report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel namespace. For one reason or another, using the RAS namespace solved the problem.
Below is the updated code with the change made:
using RAPTable = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table;
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
    // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection
    if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
        internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
    // Sets the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
    internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
// The attributes for the QE_LogonProperties which is part of the main property bag
PropertyBag innerPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
innerPropertyBag.Add("DSN", this.DSN);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UserID", this.LoginName);
innerPropertyBag.Add("Password", this.Password);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UseDSNProperties", "true");
// The attributes collection of the tables ConnectionInfo object
PropertyBag mainPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
mainPropertyBag.Add("Database DLL", "crdb_ado.dll");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_DatabaseType", "OLE DB (ADO)");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_LogonProperties", innerPropertyBag);
// Pass the database properties to a connection info object
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
connectionInfo.Attributes = mainPropertyBag;
connectionInfo.Kind = CrConnectionInfoKindEnum.crConnectionInfoKindCRQE;
connectionInfo.UserName = this.LoginName;
connectionInfo.Password = this.Password;
// Replace the database connection properties of each table in the report
foreach (RAPTable oldTable in this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables)
    RAPTable table = new RAPTable();
    table.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
    table.Name = oldTable.Name;
    table.QualifiedName = oldTable.QualifiedName;
    table.Alias = oldTable.Alias;
    this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(oldTable, table);
this.report.VerifyDatabase();
Thanks again Ludek for the help.

SAP CRM 7.0 - Interactive reporting tool enhancing reports with new fields

Hi Everyone,
I am a BW Professional, currently working on evaluating the true benefits of implementing Interactive Reporting tool for our company. As I understand the Interactive reporting tool restricts us to report on individual reporting areas like Activities, Leads, Opportunties etc.
But according to our business it is very important for us to be able to report on cross reporting areas real time i.e. activities & leads together or activties, leads & opportunties together etc.
I learned about the enhancement work bench in interactive reporting tool where we can add SAP fields to individual reporting areas, so I thought of adding leads & opportunties to activities. This is where the fun part starts.
Here I learned that all activty ID, Lead ID and Oppo ID are all fed from one single field from SAP CRM i.e. OBJECT_ID, which means the system is dividing this data into individual reporting areas based on type of data i.e. leads or oppor's etc. and may be based on some key like account etc. So here is a technical question, for me to add a new field to a reporting area I have to give a field name but we already have OBJECT_ID from where I am pulling activties data, so if I want to include leads also in activties then I will have to add some logic manually to get that and can't use enhancement workbench because it is for missing fields from SAP CRM whereas in my case I already have OBJECT_ID from where I am getting Activity data.
Sorry if I am driving you guys crazy but I am just trying to think loud to make myself clear with concepts.
Also I have seen that a reporting area in Interactive reporting tool is based on a BW query, but I am not sure why not all the fields in BW query are available for reporting in Interactive reporting tool?
Any help or commets will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
SRV

Hello,
checking with the config wizard is always a good idea since it's the only supported way to configure this scenario
The secret is that you apparently did not activate the report areas. It is a bit missleading that the queries are checked before the report areas are checked, therefore you see the errors concerning the queries first. Below those errors you should find some lines like
    Report areas: delivered 15, active <?>
    CRM interactive reports: delivered 20, active <?>
    Activation of report areas checked
The last line offers some documentation and the actual link to activate the report areas.
Best regards

[announce] vps-lxc; comprehensive tool for working with LXC containers

available...
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=34507
this is going to be brief, more later. for some time i have been developing a comprehensive solution for working with LXC based VPS containers on my Arch servers. it is about 95% complete, and ready for testing by others.
this system will allow you to build template containers for _any_ distribution if it has bootstrap type utilities (i have only implemented Arch based containers, Ubuntu and Debian will be done soon, with Fedora, maybe Opensuse, maybe others can create these?). once the templates are created, they can be "forked" into usable domains, and the LXC config (for the lxc-* user tools) can bee 100% generated from command line options to "vps-lxc mkdom".
the code is very consistent and clean, and can easily be extended by writing/implementing your own subcommand files. there is a command.proto file to get you started, and the "vps-lxc proto" command will show you the example command.
there is proper bash completion for most subcommands, mktpl and mkdom the exceptions for now (they have several options and i want the completion for those to be awesome). BTRFS will be used for efficient template/domain creation if available.
see here for more details:
http://www.mail-archive.com/lxc-users@l … 00148.html
try it out if your interested in LXC, i'm using it now and its working pretty nice. ls, init, and edit subcommands will be up soon.
here is an example of output, and do this to get started. the system is well commented, and the usage/exception strings should guide you:
cr@ph1 ~ $ vps-lxc help
Usage: vps-lxc COMMAND [help|OPTION]...
Create, destroy, interact with, and manage LXC based Virtual Private Server
(VPS/container) domains and templates.
Creation/destruction COMMANDs:
mktpl create a new template from scratch or based off an existing template
mkdom create a new domain based off a pre-created template
rmtpl remove a created template
rmdom remove a defined/created, STOPPED domain and it's configuration
Definition/edit COMMANDs:
define initialize a domain after editing it's configuration (once)
edit edit the persistent configuration of a VPS (requires reboot)
Control/interaction COMMANDs:
start send a STOPPED domain a signal to start
stop send a RUNNING domain a signal to stop
reboot send a RUNNING domain a signal to reboot
enter enter a domain and interact via console (limited, config specific)

Hello extofme, have you done any more work on your scripts? Is there any later information available than what is in this thread?
I'm interested in setting up an Arch host with Arch/Ubuntu LXC containers.
I am moving away from a hardy host with openvz hardy containers.
Cheers.
unfortunately i have not done much work on these for several months, as i have since moved myself and my clients to the google appengine. however, i do follow the lxc list and devel, and they should still work ok (possibly some minor tweaking).
the scripts are very easy to work with, and are modular; you can extend what you need. they provide stacktraces and basic exception handling.
i do intend to work with lxc soon, and will pick vps-lxc back up then. feel free to run with it; send me patches if you find problems. if you have issues w/vps-lxc or lxc itself just report here and i will guide you. i was hoping others would find it useful and share some of the workload, meh :-)

Bussiness logic/technical flow for report with tcode MB5B

Guys,
Please send me any Functional Spec or Technical Spec of the standard SAP report with tcode MB5B ( Stock as on posting date). Any document explaining logic or technical flow is very much useful to me..I need to understand the logic and what are all the underlying tables used. I will assign more points to anyone who help me.

MB5B - Stock on posting date
The report Stock for posting date lists a company's own stocks in a particular time period (earliest date/Time 00:00, latest date/time 24:00).
The posting date is used for selection. Note that the posting date may be different from the entry date (date entered in the system) as well as the document date.
Starting with the current stock balance, the report uses the material documents to calculate the stock balance for the specified posting date.
Requirements
You need authorization to display material documents for all chosen plants (authorization object Material documents: plant, activity 03).
Output
Thisreport issues a list with the following information for each material:
Stock quantity and stock value on first date
Total and value of all receipts
Total and value of all issues
Stock quantity and stock value on last date
List of the material documents that were posted in the specified time period
To go to the detail screen for the material document item, place the cursor on a material document and choose Goto -> Document item
If you require more data and want a detailed evaluation, you can enhance the current layout or choose another existing layout via Settings -> Layout.
Tables Used :
t001; t001w; t001l; mchb, mbew,mseg.

Aggregation issue for report with bw structure

Hi,
I am facing aggregation issue while grouping reports in webi.
We have a BW query with 16 values, which we bring to bw as structure. Out of 16, 8 are percentage values (agg. type should be average).
If we bring the data at site level, data is comming properly. But if we use same query and try sum/grouping( on region level), then percentage is getting added.
Since it's a dashboard report with lots of filters, we cannot go for seperate query at each level(site, region, zone).
How we can resolve this.. please give me suggestion.
Regards
Baby

Hi,
Since we were using structure, it was not possible to produce the required result in BO.
We change structure to keyfigures and bring all of them in to BO. All the column formulas are now in BO side.
Now it is working fine.

How the data is fetched from the cube for reporting - with and without BIA

hi all,
I need to understand the below scenario:(as to how the data is fetched from the cube for reporting)
I have a query, on a multiprovider connected to cubes say A and B. A is on BIA index, B is not. There are no aggregates created on both the cubes.
CASE 1: I have taken RSRT stats with BIA on, in aggregation layer it says
Basic InfoProvider     *****Table type      ***** Viewed at      ***** Records, Selected     *****Records, Transported
Cube A     ***** blank ***** 0.624305      ***** 8,087,502      ***** 2,011
Cube B     ***** E ***** 42.002653 ***** 1,669,126      ***** 6
Cube B     ***** F ***** 98.696442 ***** 2,426,006 ***** 6
CASE 2:I have taken the RSRT stats, disabling the BIA index, in aggregation layer it says:
Basic InfoProvider     *****Table Type     *****Viewed at     *****Records, Selected     *****Records, Transported
Cube B     *****E     *****46.620825     ****1,669,126****     6
Cube B     *****F     ****106.148337****     2,426,030*****     6
Cube A     *****E     *****61.939073     *****3,794,113     *****3,499
Cube A     *****F     ****90.721171****     4,293,420     *****5,584
now my question is why is here a huge difference in the number of records transported for cube A when compared to case 1. The input criteria for both the cases are the same and the result output is matching. There is no change in the number of records selected for cube A in both cases.It is 8,087,502 in both cases.
Can someone pls clarify on this difference in records being selected.

Hi,
yes, Vitaliy could be guess right. Please check if FEMS compression is enabled (note 1308274).
What you can do to get more details about the selection is to activate the execurtion plan SQL/BWA queries in data manager. You can also activate the trace functions for BWA in RSRT. So you need to know how both queries select its data.

Jens

Changing JDBC Datasource Configuration for Report with Sub reports at once

The Env details are as follows
CR Developer
Version 14.0.2.364 RTM
We are using JDBC Connection Datasource for our CR2011 report which contains 30+ sub reports. Each of the sub report uses a JDBC Datasource to connect to Postgres database and Since the JDBC connection string changes on each environment we need to edit each sub report every time we switch environments.
Is there a easy way to accomplish this on all sub reports at one shot?
I am aware that if we use ODBC connection it would be easy since we can just change the DSN config and it will start working. But we are not using ODBC connection since We are seeing that our report (with too many sub reports) crashes when we use ODBC driver for Postgres.
Any help/suggestion would be appreciated.

Hello,
CR also has a fully support Java Reporting Engine. If you have Java developers available check out this forum:
SAP Crystal Reports, version for Eclipse
You can find more info and samples from here:

How to generate the ATR files for reports with out manually?

Hi all,
how to create the ATR files for reports in OBIEE 11g with out manually?
is there any other method to create the ATR files by using the OBIEE Server?
please provide me the solution for this?
we are creating manually for each and every report, it is time taken process how can we generate ATR files automatically
by using the OBIEE Server?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am afraid not.ATR are attributes files contains the object's full name, access controllist (ACL), description, and so on.Each catalog object has a corresponding attributes file, I am not sure why do you have to generate the atr files.In case you need info about atr files: http://businessdecisionsystems.com/blog/?p=7
If you have huge number of similar reports(with filter variations and same kind of layout), try to play around with the xml to minimize the development effort.

Some Tools for Use With Editing & More

Harm Millaard had posted this list of "favorite tools" in the PrPro Forum. These might be of great use.
Good luck,
Hunt

Noel Carboni offered this utility in the PS forum. I have never used it, so cannot vouch for how well it works.
there is a handy little free tool for actually doing good, reliable searches (though perhaps with a user interface that's a big geeky). It's Stefan Kueng's grepwin tool:
http://tools.tortoisesvn.net/grepWin.html
If you put the right stuff in the right places in its dialog, It will find what you're searching for - quickly and every time, even if encoded in Unicode. It even tells you the things it cannot search in (for example because the file is open), so there's no way you can unknowingly miss anything. Stefan definitely knows what he's doing.

What are useful tools for users with sensory issues?

I have multiple sensory issues, and bright lights, flashing lights, loud noises, high-pitched noises, etc. can be very painful and sometimes incapacitating for me. I worry backup beepers will get me killed.
A lot of websites *including this support website* use flashing animation, noise, etc., triggered automatically, using autoplay, or triggered by trying to scroll past.
I have separate tools to disable autoplay, to disable animated gifs, etc. I can't understand why (a) Firefox enables these misfeatures and (b) Firefox doesn't include one built-in tool to disable these.

I have sensory issues involving bright lights, flashing lights, loud noises, high-pitched noises, proprioception, and some other stuff. I don't have colorblindness.
I also have a fix to use bigger font sizes to reduce eyestrain. I tried using zoom, but too many websites broke with zoom, it kept reverting, etc. If nosquint does zoom better than the default, nosquint might help with that.
But... I still have sensory issues involving bright lights, flashing lights, loud noises, high-pitched noises, and a lot of other stuff everywhere and online, and I still need fixes ...and I also need people to stop beating me to the ground, but that's beyond Firefox.
