Overwriting original report with schedule

Hi all,
I am using BOXI 3.1 and when I schedule a WEBi report it automaticly creates new instances. I would like the scheduler to overwrite the original report and not to create a new instances. Is this possible ?
Thanks, Timo

Hi
It is not Possible. The Schedule report always create a new Instance.  If you want to Opnen the New Instance every time .
log in  to CMC --> Applications --> Infoview  Properties --> Default Viewing Action on Listing Page:  As per you needed .

  • Overwrite report with scheduled istance.

    Hi gurus,
    I'd need to schedule a webi report and overwrite the original report with the latest scheduled istance. Searching in forum, I found that this is not possible but it would it possible to set as default the opening of the last successfull istance. But this is still not enought to users requirements, as they sometimes need to save some changes to the report and by default that changes would be not available until next report schedulation (executed monthly).
    I would ask if there is any workaround to accomplish this: to let user open the report always in same way (without to switch between "View" and "View latest istance") and get the last modified/executed between the istance and the report object.
    Or there any way to create a task to automatically perform the "Save as" of an istance?
    Thanks and regards.
    Roberto.

    See,
    Sheduled instance is okay, After successful schedule, it has to get latest data available, correct??
    To get those data, you have make it "Refresh on Open". Which means that get the latest scheduled instance data from datasource.
    In this case you can leave Save As .
    Thank You!!

  • How can I overwrite existing reports with Publish Wizard?

    Hi,
    I uploaded a lot of reports to the Crystal Reports Server 2008 CMS using the Publish Wizard. Now, when I upload changed reports again, the Publish Wizard does not overwrite the existing reports. Instead it renames the new report as "<Name> (2)".
    Is there an option ot overwrite the existing report based on the report name, ideally keeping the CID?
    Thanks for information

    Hi Jorn,
    There is no option to overwrite the destination content, if you want to do that a better tool would be the Import Wizard.
    Using the Import Wizard you could specify how you want the imported report being to be treated in instances where it exists also on the Destination system.
    From the Import Wizard Guide:
    "...you have two options to identify the object and determine if the object already exists on the destination environment:
    1. Use the source object's unique identifier (CUID).
    2. Use the source object's name and path.
    You must decide how you would like the Import Wizard to handle scenarios where the objects already exist on the destination environment."
    Please refer to the Import Wizard Guide for the various options available with this tool.

    I hope this answer was very helpful to you.
    Kind regards,

  • How to save for web AND overwrite original files with Action?

    Hello,
    I want to compress a batch of images with "save for web" using a Photoshop Action, and I also want to preserve my folder structure and overwrite source files. The structure is important because it's complex and needs to be structured this way.
    The Problem:
    When I choose "save for web", I must define a destination. What happens is all optimized files from within the structure are saved in a single location.
    Here's an example of the folder structure
    Folder A
         - Subfolder A1
         - Subfolder A2
    Folder B
         - Subfolder B1
         - Subfolder B2
              -Subfolder B2.2
    Folder C
         -Subfolder C1
    Summary
    Is it possible for me to use a Photoshop Action with "save for web", and overwrite my files without moving them from the structure?

    No need to re-invent the wheel.
    Just learn how to use the Image Processor, Image Processor Pro, or Dr. Brown's Services 1-2-3 in Photoshop and/or Bridge.

  • What is best practice in FR ? Original Report access to Users or Snapshot

    Hi,
    can any one pls. let me know on what is the best practice in FR ? I need to give access to original reports to my users or the snapshot access only ? Users are not happy with snapshot access mainly during the closing time. What are the complications if i give access to original reports ? I'm using Batch scheduler, but users are unable to see the data some times. What will be the reason for this ?
    Thanks,
    PVR

    Hi,
    There are certainly many variables to have a look at. Server sizes is one concern, report size is another. Giving access to original reports is fine as long as concurrency and heavy usage don't take the servers down. That said, the reports that will be given access to their originals shouldn't run for 10 minutes for each query. Having 10 user connected to such reports will probably take reporting services down which makes the entire system useless. These types of reports should better be scheduled and shown as snapshots. However, some of these reports might have time-dependent information which needs to be refreshed at query time. In this case you could either give the access to original reports or schedule the reports to run say every 2 hours.
    Cheers,

  • Procedure to Overwrite Existing Reports in Salesforce

    I've been looking around and can't seem to find the proper procedure for overwriting existing reports in Salesforce. While we are on that topic, what is the procedure for uploading new reports? What needs to be checked, filled out, clicked?
    Whenever I try to overwrite a report, it says there was a database connection error. I have to delete the report and re-upload it.

    To add a bit more to what Steve wrote:
    While we are on that topic, what is the procedure for uploading new reports?
    It depends on the report and it's data source. If you are using an onpremise data source, you would need to have implemented the Open Data Connector on site and then you can set your reports to point to that web service. The other option there is for reports from Excel files that exist in crystalreports.com. There is another forum post on that topic. For Salesforce.com reports, I cover that below.
    What needs to be checked, filled out, clicked?
    For Salesforce.com, you typically don't need to check anything related to the data source. crystalreports.com will automatically know about the data source. When a user runs the report, it will automatically use their Salesforce.com security token to run the report.
    If you want, you are able to "hard-code" the user credentials for the report. To do that, you can check the "Other data source" radio button and then input your user name/password. The password is encrypted and masked. In this case, you want to very careful as to which users have access to that report. Some customers use this to give some access to Salesforce.com data in a report that users might not have access to within Salesforce.com itself.
    Do make sure that you do not upload a report with saved data unless you intend users to see that "snapshot" of data. Otherwise, the report does not refresh by default.
    Whenever I try to overwrite a report, it says there was a database connection error. I have to delete the report and re-upload it.
    I thought I remember seeing something before happening with a report that I was trying to overwrite. It was not consistent so I was not sure if it was just something wrong with my report. What I did to resolve it was to overwrite the report with some .rpt file that did not use a Salesforce.com data source. Then I overwrote it again with the intended Salesforce.com data source report. I believe that reset the connection properly.

  • BO xi 3.1 u2013 schedule a template for multiple reports with different column

    Hi,
    I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to BO, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to schedule a single template with different parameters for all reports in BO, or create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
    For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The only approach I can think of is to create a template report which uses variables
    For each column you would need to variable
    v_columnAName and v_columnAValue
    v_columnAName would have a if statement in it
    =if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";NameOf([firstName]);if([client]="clientB";NameOf([SSN]);NameOf([lastName]));
    v_columnA would have a if statement in it
    =if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";[firstName];if([client]="clientB";[SSN],[lastName]));
    This would only work when you had a small set of clients.
    This might be more managable if it was done in the universe

  • Is there a way to overwrite the ORIGINAL songs with my iTunes library info?

    Hi there,
    I would like to know if there is a way to overwrite the original songs with my iTunes library info? What I mean is, I have MANY songs that I have transferred to iTunes (and were obviously not purchased from iTunes) and I always put the info (such as the album name, the album art, artist, composer, etc.) and it leaves the original song (like the songs that are in "My music" section that is in "My Documents") with the same info. For example : The song that I put into the library will be "chamiionaire feastureing flip"... and in the iTunes, I put it as "Chamillionaire ft. Lil Flip". How do I make it so that it replaces the "original" info (located in my documents) with the info I put in?

    Same question. Used to have an iPod. Lost it (best digital player ever), now I use other portable device. The mp3 files have their id3tag edited in the original file, but the .m4a don't!.
    Want to know someway to write the info from the library to the original .m4a files.

  • Scheduling WEBI reports with API

    Is it possible to schedule a WEBI report with an external API?
    Explanation: our customers can view their data on our internet site. We want to show a list of reports where they can subscribe. For example: report X with parameter Y each monday morning in Excel format to mailadress Z.
    This subscribtion is stored in our Oracle database. The database sends an API to the BO enterprise server. BO schedules and sends the report to the customer.
    Regards,
    Emiel

    Hi
            What is the API ? Is it a Text file ? if so then you can schedule the reports based on an event in BO .

  • Ho can I schedule a WEBI report with dynamic parameters???

    Hello again!!
    Here i am with another detail about scheduling, the thing this time is that ia need to schedule a report with one parameter every week but with a different value for the parameter every week.
    This is i need this week to run the report SALES BY STORE filtered by week with this value 2011 - 45 (yyyy - num ofweek) but the next week the value for the same parameter must be 2011 - 46
    is it possible??? i mean is possible to schedule a report with different value for the parameter each time that it runs???
    I know that i can schedule a report with different values for a parameter to send it to severals users whith different data but the values for the parameter are the same every time that it runs and i dont need that.
    Any help or clue will be very appreciated

    Hi Elio,
    Do you have access to modify your universe?
    Then you should try Dave Rathbun's idea. Here is the link:
    http://www.dagira.com/2008/07/21/using-a-magic-date-value-in-prompts/
    Note that you'll have to adapt it to what you need, in this case to the week number.
    For example if you are using Sybase syntax you'd get 2011 - 46 with:
    convert(varchar, year(getdate()))+' - '+convert(varchar, datepart(wk,getdate()))
    So you'll new object in Universe would look like :
    your_table.week = case when @prompt('Enter week','C',,mono,free) = 'This week' then convert(varchar, year(getdate()))+' - '+convert(varchar, datepart(wk,getdate()))  else @prompt('Enter week','C',,mono,free)  end
    Adapt it to the syntax of the database you use. Then after creating this object in your universe you'll have to go back to your report and Edit the query and use this object in the filter area instead of  a normal prompt.
    When you have to schedule the report leave the prompt with the parameter 'This week'
    Hope this helps
    Regards

  • Schedule a report with the system date imbeded in the file name

    Hello,
    Could anyone tell me how I can schedule a crystal report with the system date imbedded in the file name (FileNameYYYYMMDD) through BOE?  When I scheduled the report through BOE, I gave a file name and selected Attach Date Time, but the file name is coming out slightly differently and with the time imbedded as well (FileNameYYYY-MM-DD-HH-MN I think). Is there a way to change the default system date time format in BOE so that the date stamp comes out the way we want it?
    Thanks!

    %SI_STARTTIME% will add the time the report ran too.
    Adding onlt the date will necessarily have to be done via the appropriate SDK.
