One Big Ol' Report

Ok Here Goes
Here's my scenario - I have built several separate reports, and all have conditions on them so they only show based on a variable. They are matrix reports:
EX:
--Report 1 where PRODUCT CATEGORY = 'SHIRTS'
(SHIRTS)
PRODUCT          ATT1   ATT2   ATT3    ATT4
Cotton T-Shirt   Blue   Large Cotton Pre-Shrunk
--Report 2 where PRODUCT CATEGORY = 'SHOES'
(SHOES)
PRODUCT     PRODUCT SUBCAT     ATT1      ATT2     ATT3
Boots       INDUSTRIAL         12 Hole    Y        NI have a list (shown as tabs) across the top of the page and the user can view any of the reports for that category. The list just sets the category variable. I did this because each report has a different set of descriptive criteria to show. Shoes show the number of eyelets and whether they are designated as safety shoes, but that wouldn't make sense in the context of shirts.
My question is not about how to do the matrix reports, but rather how to get all of these report sections into one page and allow the entire set of pages to be downloaded to a PDF. Currently each small report can be downloaded to a PDF, but not the entire thing. Problem is I really can't do a union in the query because the number of columns I need are different, and the titles are dynamic.
So does anyone have an idea (short of using Oracle Reports) to get multiple separate report regions to print to one big PDF?

Why do you hide yourself behind a number? That's actually not nice and fair. And then,
you expect the others to help you with such a big thing.
I don't know much about .pdf, allthough I think it would work there as well - with some
HTML => XHTML => XSLT Stylesheet => XLS-FO to => PDF... conversions using FOP.
However, to get this into an excel file would be a piece of cake.

Universe Design - one big one or several subject specific universes?

Hello,
We are scoping out our BO universe design for an SFA/CRM solution.
Source data is Siebel CRM, combined with Sales data from third parties. Limited other data beyond that.
Should we build one big universe with all the subject areas in, or should be build several smaller universes, and ensure we can report across universes (Synchronisation?)
Also, does any one have experience of the siebel rapid marts?
Ian

Ian,
Please keep in mind that the limitation is one connection per universe. So, as long as the data from two sources is merged in one database, you can create one universe.
If it were a dimensional model then it would have been easier to create the universe. The relational schema universes can become complex, but it can definitely be done.
Based on the information you provided, I would say one universe should work. Please let me know if you have any specific questions about building the universe.

Can I create one single crystal report using 2 bex queries

HI all,
I have 2 bex queries and has to develope a single crystal report .Is it possible???? If so, than how to connect two bex queries and develope one single crystal report.Any other option is also fine. I mean ....no need to use crystal..( I can go for one single webi..).But need to know the approach ...
or else...can I create universe on 1 bex and other universe on other bex ..and go for one single webi report..
Only problem is client is particular about one single report(either crystal or webi)
if i go for webi ...I know we can use link universe option but I dont know whether it works fro OLAP environment.
Please let me know if I can link OLAp universes and go for 1 single webi report.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Mahathi

You can use either CR or WebI.
In CR Designer create the report using the SAP toolbar (Create report from query) based on the 1st BEx query. Then use the Database expert (first entry in the Database menu) to add an additional connection to your 2nd BEx query (+Create new connection->SAP BW DX query). You can then join the results of the 2 different queries in the database expert also.. Please note that if you do NOT want to join the result sets, then it is more efficient to use subreports. Create two different CR reports, each based on one of the BEx queries and then use one of those as your main report and insert the other one into it as subreport. Once embedded you do not have to keep the separate .rpt file of your second report.
For Webi you must build 2 universes, each based on one of your BEx queries. In your report you can add multiple queries based on different universes. You can join the results sets here by using the Merge dimensions button in the report editor area.
Regards,
Stratos
PS; Keep in mind that joining a large number of rows at report level (either in CR or WebI) can cause performance problems. If this is your requirement, how many rows do you expect to get back from each individual query?

Large form set: Deliver in portfolio, or build one big PDF?

Greetings, all--
I am using LiveCycle to recreate a set of 24 or so forms that were originally built in Word. My users download the forms, complete them on their desktops, then print and submit the forms in hard copy. Most users are not tech savvy. The forms must be very easy for them to access, open, navigate, and print. Most also function within severe hardware limitations (slow Internet connections, old machines, etc.). On my end, I have a rusty at best command of scripting and am new to LiveCycle. I know what I want my forms to do but am very slow at figuring out how to make those things happen.
I am working first to decide on how to deliver these forms. It looks like I will have to build one big PDF to get the form behavior I want (autopopulation of like fields, field calculation, etc.). Does that sound right? Or is it possible to set up each file as a separate PDF and package them in a portfolio and still get cross-file behavior like auto field population, sequential page numbering, etc.?
Any feedback on setting up big set of files would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Virginia

Hi,
For what it is worth...
First of all consider what version of Acrobat/Reader the user population will have. Improved functionality comes with each new version. So you might end up including features in your form that won't work on the users' PC. In LC Designer 8.2 you are able to define the target version (in File/Form Properties/Defaults) and then check in the Warnings tab to make sure that the form will run OK in that version (eg no warnings);
If people don't have to save the form (or the data that they have typed in) then you don't have to worry about Reader Enabling the form. This gives the ability to users with Reader to save that (Reader Enabled) form. Useful if they are filling in the same form regurarly.
The implementation of Portfolios in version 9 is very good. However if users have older versions of Acrobat/Reader then it will revert to the previous implementation of Packages (less graphical) and users will get warning messages.
Keeping the forms separate will help performance; but may make it more difficult for users to locate the correct form. Creating one large form in LC is possible (and will make it very easy to share values across the 24 forms becuase they will be in the one XFA PDF); however if each form has multiple pages and there is dynamic hide/visible script then performance may be a problem. If the form is static (eg does not grow) then performance will not be as badly affected with the single form approach.
There is a work around to get forms to talk to each other (whether in a portfolio or not), but it requires a good bit of scripting and a cool head.
In summary, if you are working with static forms that will not grow (fields not extending to accomodate overflowing text) then I would go with one form.
You can always develop the single form for the time being and then at a later stage break it out into 24 separate forms.
Good luck,
Niall

Please any one provide crystal report for Location wise sales report with GP.Please its urgent

A report writer tool like Crystal reports is not available due to the cost involved in its licenses.Do you think that Oracle Reports is free then? It's $$$$.
You can download and test it for free, but if you want to use it in production you have to buy a license.

Many small purchases, or one big one?

Hello, I'm actually really new to the credit world and just got two cards, a Chase Freedom and a Discover IT for Students. I want to get started building my credit and increasing my credit limit. I realize it's a slow process, (and maybe getting two cards at once wasn't the best idea) but I want to make sure I don't needlessly slow down this process.
My main question is, are many small purchases in a month better than just one big one, or does it even matter?For Example…
Chase Freedom CL: $1200
Discover IT CL: $1000I was hoping to use these cards to make payments on my tuition. If every month I only spend a $200 payment from my Discover card, is that better or worse than just buying 20 items at $10 apiece?Again though, the ultimate goal is to increase my CL and CS.

Great cards to start on. I wish I had gotten two in college. I just graduated and got my second. Like others have said, the amount of charges doesn't matter as long as you keep your overall and individual util at or under 30% which you would be doing at the charges you're describing. if need be, don't shy away from making multiple payments in a month to keep your util low while using the cards as much as you like (responsibly, and within your need/ability of course) while earning the rewards. Enjoy building. You're definitely off to a good start!

Upgraded to Crystal 2008 - one of my reports now has no data

Upgraded to Crystal 2008, now at (12.3.0.601).
However one of my reports (which was previously developed in Crystal X1) is now coming up blank.
I've tested the data on the previous system and the report comes back correctly so there is not an issue with data.
The report is built using XML Schema files and assigning the datasource from VS2008.
When the application is built with Crystal X1, this works fine.
I've refreshed the report using crystal 2008 but no good.
Other reports which use SP's as the source are working fine!
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the quick response.
What I mean by 'I refreshed the report in Crystal 2008' is that I opened the report in Crystal 2008 and verified it.
I did not have to do this with the other reports.
I cannot test this in the designer as the data gets assigned from the application.
However, the old version of the report with the same data works fine.
Note - there are no error message. The report displays with no data.
There are no code change made so everything points to the report which is strange.
Other reports work correctly but this one is different as it uses XML source.
Thanks.

Variable number of two dimensional arrays into one big array

I have a variable number of two dimensional arrays.
The first dimension is variable, the second dimension is always 7.
i.e.:
Object[][] array0 = {
{"tim", "sanchez", 34, 175.5, "bla", "blub", "[email protected]"},
{"alice", "smith", 42, 160.0, "la", "bub", "[email protected]"},
Object[][] array1 = {
{"john", "sdfs", 34, 15.5, "a", "bl", "[email protected]"},
{"joe", "smith", 42, 16.0, "a", "bub", "[email protected]"},
Object[][] arrayi = ...I'm generating these arrays with a for-loop:
     for (int i = 0; i < filter.length; i++) {
          MyClass c = new MyClass(filter);
          //data = c.getData();
Where "filter" is another array which is filled with information that tells "MyClass" how to fill the arrays.
"getData()" gives back one of the i number of arrays.
Now I just need to have everything in one big two dimensional array.
i.e.:Object[][] arrayComplete = {
{"tim", "sanchez", 34, 175.5, "bla", "blub", "[email protected]"},
{"alice", "smith", 42, 160.0, "la", "bub", "[email protected]"},
{"john", "sdfs", 34, 15.5, "a", "bl", "[email protected]"},
{"joe", "smith", 42, 16.0, "a", "bub", "[email protected]"},
Any idea on how to accomplish this? It's blowing my mind right now.

Just brainstorming here:
Why not put your actual data in a class and store that in a LinkedList (so you know the total number of elements for your multi-dimensional array). Then initalize your multi-dimensional array and populate it? Haven't tested the following, but thinking something along the lines of
public class MyData {
     //data here
     public Object[] toArray() {
          //something similar to this
          return new Object[] = {"tim", "sanchez", 34, 175.5, "bla", "blub", "[email protected]"};
LinkedList<MyData> data = new LinkedList<MyData>();
data.add(mydata1);
//however many times you need
Object[][] arrayComplete = new Object[data.size()][7];
for(int i = 0; i < data.size(); i++) {
     arrayComplete[i] = data.removeFirst().toArray();
}Another option for knowing how many rows you would need might be using something like:
int rows = 0;
rows += array1.length;
rows += array2.length;
//etc...But is not entirely useful if you don't know how many variable arrays you have (although reflections might help if the name of the array variable is incremented systematically, someone told me earlier to avoid reflections since it could make debugging a LOT more difficult).

More small datafiles or one big datafile for tablespace

Hello,
I would like to create a new tablespace (about 4 GB). Could someone if it's better to create one big datafile or create 4 datafiles with 1 GB each?
Thank you.

It depends. Most of the time, it's going to come down to personal preference.
If you have multiple data files, will you be able to spread them over multiple physical devices? Or do you have a disk subsystem that virtualizes many physical devices and spreads the data files across physical drives (i.e. a SAN)?
How big is the database going to get? You wouldn't want to have a 1 TB database with 1000 1 GB files, that would be a monster to manage. You probably wouldn't want a 250 GB database with a single data file either, because it would take forever to recover the data file from tape if there was a single block corruption.
Is there a data files size that fits comfortably in whatever size mount points you have? If you get 10 GB chunks of SAN at a time, for example, you would probably want data files that were an integer factor of that (i.e. 1, 2, or 5 GB) so that you can add similarly sized data files without wasting space and so that you can move files to a new mountpoint without worrying about whether they'll all fit.
Does your OS support files of an appropriate size? I know Windows had problems a while ago with files > 2 GB (at least when files extended beyond 2 GB).
In the end though, this is one of those things that probably doesn't matter too much within reason.

Many little datafiles or one big datafile?

Hi all
I have a database which grows every day. I have 10 datafiles with name users01.db , users02.dbf and etc.
And all these datafiles have 1.5Gb size. Each time every datafile reachs it's 1.5Gb size, I add new datafile. Is it correct strategy? Or I must add only extents to last datafile and allow it to grow?
Thanks...

Hi,
In my point of view, it is a good approach if "table striping" is used, where data is spread across more than one device. Otherwise, if you have just one disk, then I don't see advantages or disadvantages. In addition, take a look at [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1041074&#1041074]more small datafiles or one big datafile for tablespace thread.
