Parameter in XLR

Hi all,
I have created a parameter in my report in order to filter my results by posting period.
However when I execute my report, I can only select one posting period.
How can I modify my parameter so that I can select a range rather than just one?
Any help mych appreciated.
Thanks,
John

XLR where got the parameter of a report job stored

Hi,
does anybody know where XL Reporter stores the parameters of a Report-Job? I found the output path stored in XROBJ. In this Table is also an ID called "VariablesI". I think this is the foreign-key but I don't find the related Table.
There is no Documentation in the database tables reference either.
Thanks
Christian

Hi Gordon,
Thank you for your quick responces.
As every other tidbit (like output path and so on) is stored in one of the XLR Database Tables (XRDBV, XROBJ, XRREL, XRUDF, XRXLS and XRXML) I hoped that the parameters would be stored in one of them as well.
I will advise the customer to set up a second Report-Job in every Company with different parameters.
If someone read this and know about the storage place (it have to be stored anywhere) please let me know anyways. There are more Reports where this posibility would be apreciated as they are producing effort and costs each year.
I would going to let a query get verified by SAP for the "partners executing Queries" Programm then.
Thanks so far.
Kind Regards
Christian

XLR sample - sales report by item by sales rep

Hi all,
I am using the above report at client site and its working great.
The cust now has a requirement to modify this and include a column that looks at same period -12mths.
I can easily do that by -
- duplicating the existing columns
- applying period parameter to columns and not the report default
- and changing the parameter to be @per-12.
This doesnt seem to work however as the parameter is an expression which means I can select a range of periods. XLR gives error:
Definition parsing failed: syntax error near @per-12.
It only seems to work when I have the parameter as a dimension so that only 1 period can be selected.
Can XLR do the calculation for the range of periods -12 mths?
My client wants to create a quarterly report so selecting 1 period is not going to be sufficient.
I hope what I have explained is clear.
Thanks for any advice,
John

Hi,
There is a detailed syntax explaination document in portal> Docment Resource Center, you can download it and check.
There also the explaination regarding @period-12
For multiple selection, you can use Selection icon(next to the Expand icon) for columns to show more columns for different period.
hope this helps you.

XLR and Items with leading zeros

Forum,
Does anyone know the best way, in XL Reporter, to deal with Item Codes that have leading zeros?
Scenario:
We have 2 items: 001, and 0001
When I pull these into XLR and generate the report, Excel converts the numbers to "1"
I have tried every cell format I can think of and have not come up with a solution.
"Text" type returns the XLR syntax (=ixDimGet("ITM", "ItemCode")), "General" returns the "1" without leading zeros, etc.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks in Advance,
Brad Windecker

Hi Brad,
Seems like there's not direct solution for this one, function ixDimGet automatically removes leading zeros.
Anyway, I would suggest that we utilize Macro Programming for this one.
Here is a short macro code I developed, assuming the item Code is placed in Column B and the macro will automatically extract the parameter from the function call in Column B (=ixDimGet("00002") and place it Column C.
Just place the ff code in SHEET1. The macro is utilizing the Worksheet Change event
Const colItemCode = 2
Const colShowCode = 3
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
   If Target.Column = colItemCode Then
     strFormula = Target.Formula
     If Left(strFormula, 9) = "=ixDimGet" Then
        itemCode = Mid(strFormula, 12, Len(strFormula) - 13)
        With Range(Chr(64 + colShowCode) & Target.Row)
           .NumberFormat = "@"
           .Value = itemCode
        End With
     End If
   End If
End Sub
Constant colItemCode is referring to the column of the Item Code
Constant colShowCode is referring to the column for the exracted Item Code
Hope this help

XLR Report Job

I created a new report job in SAP B1 8.8 XLR. Under properties > 'Output' tab, the report job was initially set up as 'save to disk', The report was generated succesfully saved to my hard drive. After that, I tried to change the output to 'send by e-mail'. I went thru the address book and selected my name from the list (I assumed the list is pulling from Excahnge server). The report failed and returned following error message:
- Description: provide sender e-mail address
- Parameter: sender e-mail address
I tried to hard code my e-mail address in the e-mail address field but it's not working as well.
I went into properties > packages and highlighted the report packages line, Clicked 'update parameters' at bottom, Nothing happened. I clicked 'set parameters' and message indicated 'the package contains no parameters'. I thought once I specify the e-mail address info under output tab, it should be good to go. Guess that's not working. Any idea?

Hi,
Julie is correct. You need to specify sender email address under Tools menu. You also need to type in the full email address instead of choosing from the list.
Thanks,
Gordon

Revaluation to USD in XLR

Dear experts,
I have a P&L statement created in XLR. This report is Periodic with YTD totals. I have a column expansion on the periodic figure column.
Once the report is generated, i want to revaluate every periodic balance to USD. However, the USD rate for each period is different.
If I set a parameter, then all the periods end up using the same rate.
How to have each period, use a rate specific to its period ?
Please advice.
Cheers,

Logical AND in MDX Reporting Services Parameter

Hi, I would like to implement logical AND on a cube parameter. I have seen examples of hard-coded logical AND in MDX.
(http://salvoz.com/blog/2013/12/24/mdx-implementing-logical-and-on-members-of-the-same-hierarchy/)
But I'm not sure how to apply this to a parameter's MDX dataset.
Here is an example of the automatically generated MDX which uses logical OR:
This is the drop down parameter:
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Department].[Department].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterValue] AS
[Department].[Department].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS
[Department].[Department].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue],
[Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS
, [Department].[Department].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS
FROM [MyCube]
And the demo report dataset is:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[CompanyTbl Count] } ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY { ([Product Level No].[Product Level No].[Product Level No].ALLMEMBERS ) }
DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM
( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@DepartmentDepartment, CONSTRAINED) )
ON COLUMNS FROM [MyCube]) WHERE
( IIF( STRTOSET(@DepartmentDepartment, CONSTRAINED).Count = 1,
STRTOSET(@DepartmentDepartment, CONSTRAINED), [Department].[Department].currentmember ) )
CELL PROPERTIES VALUE,
BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING,
FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS

Hi,
I can see there just one parameter @Department@Department in your script. But if you had two parameters that should return resultset affected by two parameters. You can do it as either select from subselect from subselect.
Example 1
SELECT
{x} ON COLUMNS,
{ROWS_SET} ON ROWS
FROM
(SELECT StrToSet(@Param1) ON COLUMNS FROM
(SELECT StrToSet(@Param2) ON COLUMNS FROM
[CUBE_NAME]
Or crossjoin between 2 parameters
SELECT
{x} ON COLUMNS,
{ROWS_SET} ON ROWS
FROM
(SELECT StrToSet(@Param1)*StrToSet(@Param2) ON COLUMNS FROM
[CUBE_NAME]

Report RFKLBU10: Missing Parameter for Logical filename in Release ERP 2005

Hello Experts,
Report RFKLBU10 in Sap Release 4.6c hat a parameter "Old dataset logical name".
The new version of this report in SAP Release ERP 2005 there is no such parameter.
Is this a SAP-Bug ?
Best regards,

There are no Export or Print events accessible for the viewer
Since it sounds like you are creating the reportdocument object in your click event, the settings on this object become out of scope on successive postbacks executed by other events.
to get around this without major changes, you can place your "report" object in session in this event and retrieve it from session on successive postbacks. This should solve your problems around navigation, printing and exporting. What you will need to do is check if the session object exists (usually in page_load or page_initialze) and if so, retrieve it from session and bind it to the viewer's reportsource. If the session object does not exist, then do nothing (ie you have not clicked your button yet that retrieves the parameter values from session and loads the report). Also, in your click event you can check if the report session object exists and if so, remove it so that it can be re-created with your new parameter values (ie i'm assuming the only time you want to set parameter values is in this event).

Unable to capture the parameter values from a PL/SQL procedure

hi.
i'm trying to capture the parameter values of a PL/SQL procedure by calling inside a anonymous block but i'm getting a "reference to uninitialized collection error" ORA-06531.

Cannot assign an empty string to a parameter with JDBC type VARCHAR

I am seeing the aforementioned error in the logs. I am guessing its happening whenever I am starting an agent instance in PCo. Can somebody explain whats going on?

Replacing NULL and EmptyString('') with "Unknown" in SSRS parameter dropdown

All,
What I want to do is, in the SSRS parameter drop down, instead of showing NULL and Blank values(), i want to categorize them as "Unknown", so, if the user selects "Unknown" from the SSRS drop down parameter, he should be able to see all
the records that have NULL values or empty strings in that particular column in the result set.
Can you tell me, how should I handle it in my main stored proc as well as in the dataset?
Right now, i have something like this:
Where
(t1.name in (select value from dbo.Split(@TName,',')) OR @TName IN ('All'))
-- Where t1.Name has empty strings and NULL values. Both of these values should be categorized under "Unknown"
-- How would the dataset query look like? Right now I have this query for populating the drop down for that parameter:
Select All
UNION
Select Distinct Name
Order BY 1

Hello,
Please refer to the following stored procedure:
SELECT
CASE WHEN TName IS NULL OR TName = ''
THEN 'Unknown' ELSE TName END AS TName
From DemoTable
Then, use following query code to get the parameter values:
SELECT Distinct
CASE WHEN TName IS NULL OR TName = '' THEN 'Unknown'
ELSE TName END AS TName
FROM DemoTable

Host parameter null and convert SOAP to HTTPUrl

Hi,
We are trying to fire a SOAP request and print the response but its throwing this error
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: host parameter is null
The piece of code is:
HttpClient hc = new HttpClient();
System.out.println("Came here");
int iResultCode = hc.executeMethod(post);
executeMethod(post) is failing but when I print the value of post, its �org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod@fd54d6�
Can anybody throw some light on this error and how to solve it??
Also, there�s another issue.
We are upgrading from Weblogic 7.2 to 9.1
Earlier we were able to pass the request and get the response in HTTPUrl form but now after upgrading, its getting passed in SOAP format. Is there any way to bypass the SOAP and get it in HTTPUrl format or what are the configurations to be made to adapt to the SOAP format?
connection =(HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
This line was returning HTTPUrl format, now its coming in SOAP format

your PostMethod takes the Url as the parameter. Check you are using the proper URl i.e like http://host:port/name?params like that

SOURCE_PACKAGE is INCOMPATIBLE with the FORMAL PARAMETER DATA_PACKAGE

Hello Experts,
Infocube A is getting updated from shopping carts DSO. I have added 3 new fields in SC DSO then cube transformations got inactive. I do not want 3 new fields in cube. we have report on DSO. Below is syntax error when checking transformations.
Error: In PERFORM or CALL FUNCTION "ROUTINE_9998", the actual parameter "SOURCE_PACKAGE" is incompatible with the formal parameter "DATA_PACKAGE".
3 New fields are available in tys_SC_1 but not available in tys_SC_1_full. I tried to insert 3 fields in tys_SC_1_full but still it is showing same syntax error. And more TYPE is availalbe tys_TG_1_full. This type does not have 3 fields.
Please advice.
Thanks in advance.

Hello Rathy,
I have resolved issue by addinng fields to data package. Issue is becasue of 4 fields in source and I have added only 3 fields in data package. Added one more field to data package and no syntax errors when checked.
Thanks for the input and points assigned.
