Parametering a graph in a web report

I am using a graph in a web report.
I used the graph wizard from Reports to implement the XML code in a JSP file .
I would like to send a parameter to this graph. The graph is based upon a querry I want to parameter ( the where instruction ). The probleme is that the querry is not written in the XML code.
How can I do it?
Thanks

hello,
i order to do that, you would have to go to the data model of your report, where the query is stored and modify it there. put your parameter for the where clause in there.
regards,
ph.

Line graph issue in web report

Hi
I have a 3 queries/reports on one page in my web report. I have 3 line graph buttons, one for each query.
My issue is, in the report result or table, I have characteristic "Product" in rows and Key figures in Columns.
Product                          Month 1     Month2
XYZ          Demand
             On hand stock
             Ending Inventory
But when I hit the line graph button, it shows Product in the X (horizontal) axis and number ranges like 15000, 20000, 25000 in the Y axis.
I need to swap the axes. I tried the "swap display axis" in the web items tab, but it didn't work.
I read other threads on the same topic here and someone had suggested creating a query view, switching the columns and rows there and running the report to display the line graph as required.
If I do that, won't the report result in the table also swap the rows and columns? I want the table to show Product in the Rows and KFs in the column as it is now, but I want the line graph to show Product in the Y axis and the Key figures in the Y axis.
Any ideas on how to do that? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Pooja

This is what I did:
1) In BEX Analyzer, I opened the local view of the Query and swapped the Key figures and Characteristics. I put the key figures in the columns and Characteristics in the Rows
2) I ran my report and save it as a View
3) In WAD, I assigned the Chart to the View.
When i ran the report from WAD, it still shows the key figures or number ranges in the Y axis and Characteristics on the X axis again.
I checked the "swap display axes" option in Web Item tab, but the line graph still remains the same.
Is there another way to do this? Or am I missing something?
Thanks
Pooja

Displaying UMLAUT characters in WEBI report - Need Confirmation in Settings

Hi,
I am using BOXI-R2 in Windows machine. I have done the below settings in BO configuration files.
My WEBI report shows no data to display when there are UMLAUT German characters (for example) in the data. Japanese and English characters are displayed in the report properly.
Settings:
1. Arial Unicode Font installed.
2. fontalias.xml - Default section font is Arial Unicode
3. i18n.xml - Arial Unicode MS entry available
4. defaultconfig.xml - <CUSTOM_GUI_FONTS VALUE="Arial Unicode MS"/>
5. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE - NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. AL32UTF8
6. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/HOME0 - NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. AL32UTF8
7. cs.cfg - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameters>.
8. oracle.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter>
9. sybase.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter>
10. odbc.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter> in default section
My WEBI report is using generic odbc connectivity to sybase. After some changes to the above settings report displays UMLAUTS properly with the below change.
odbc.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">CharSet</Parameter> in generic odbc section
Please let me know whether this is the correct change to be done for this issue. Also what is the reason UMLAUTS are not getting displayed when i use UTF8.

Hi Ven,
You have created a report level prompt like
Transaction Date Between "Enter Tran Date(Start):" and "Enter Tran Date(End):"
1.Drag two blank cell on report.
2.click on one blank cell and on formula editor type following formula.
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(Start):" )
This will show you start date in the cell.
3.Similarly in another cell type the following formula
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(End):" )
This will show you End Date in respective cell.
Do revert in case of any queries.
Thanks,

Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form

Hi,
I tried in building a report as shown in the example in OTN under reports in the url
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/ParameterFormJSP/index.html
i.e for Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form. The directions in this document were not clear and if any one document which is clear with instruction will be useful to me. In this example it is shown with search criteria with sigle text box and if any one had idea & code to place an combo box and population of the record group in the combo box.
Thank you in advance.

hi,
we will be releasing a new example w.r.t creating a parameter form using the reports JSP within the next month.
as for your request for a combo box. this widget is not available via regular HTML form elements. you can either have a select list or dropdown list.
for a regular select list you would use the following (only pseudo-code)
<select ...>
<rw:foreach>
<option value="<rw:field .../>">
</rw:foreach>
</select>
to populate a select list.

How to put parameter for object/table ID in BW Web Report

Hi All,
In my BW Web report, i want to get my object TABLE_1 but the code below seems not to work.
var mytable = document.getElementsByTagName("table");
Checking on it, i think IE recognize only document.getElementsByID. ( I tested it by manually creating a table in my template and putting a tag for table ID) But BW does not generate the Object ID in the parameters below, only the name.
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="TABLE_1"/>
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_GRID"/>
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
         <param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value=""/>
         <param name="CAPTION" value="jezel"/>
         <param name="ONLY_HIERARCHY_NAVIGATION" value="X"/>
         <param name="BLOCK_SIZE" value="0"/>
         <param name="SHOW_PAGING_AREA_BOTTOM" value=""/>
         ITEM:            TABLE_1
do you know how i can add a parameter for object ID? do you know any steps how i can retrieve my table using javascript?
Thanks in advance.

Hi JTi,
what i have understood from your requirement is that you want to access the web item table_1 in javascript, you can get that as below:
Add
<span>
tag before your web item and set its id to table.
<span id = "table">
<param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
<param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
<param name="NAME" value="TABLE_1"/>
<param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_GRID"/>
<param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
<param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value=""/>
<param name="CAPTION" value="jezel"/>
<param name="ONLY_HIERARCHY_NAVIGATION" value="X"/>
<param name="BLOCK_SIZE" value="0"/>
<param name="SHOW_PAGING_AREA_BOTTOM" value=""/>
ITEM: TABLE_1
</span>
In javascript access it as :
var mytable = document.getElementsById("table");
Hope this helps
Thanks

Graph not displayed when web report 9i is run

When I run my web report (.rdf file) all the report data shows apart from the graph - which is displayed as a red cross. Have I configured reports wrong so the graphs aren't getting the correct URL?
Many Thanks
Claire

Hi Claire,
I assume that you are running an RDF on the web, and setting desformat=html or htmlcss. Can you try with desformat=pdf and see if you get the same problem?
Also, for diagnosing the problem, in your html / htmlcss output where you see a red cross, can you view source and see what filename it searches for the graph. The graph is an image, so the code will be like
<img src=....../>
Check whether this file is available in your Oracle_Home\reports\cache directory?

Web Report not working with parameter form

Hi,
I have a report which has got a parameter form. This report is
running fine in client/server environment. But when I deploy the
same report on web (CGI) using PARAMFORM=YES, I am getting the
parameter form and after pressing the SUBMIT button I am getting
a blank report under the following two cases even though I have
data for that query:
CASE1: <input type="hidden" name="desformat" value="html">
then I am getting the report with no data retrieved.
CASE2: <input type="hidden" name="desformat" value="pdf">
then I am getting completely blank report (no logo, no column
titles, etc.)
See the HTML code below. Remember, the same thing is running
fine in client/server environment. Moreover, if I make a HTML-
coded form for the report then everything on the client's
browser is running fine. But this is not what we want, 'coz we
are running the "BEFORE PARAMETER FORM" trigger in the report.
So, should I conclude that web-reports does not work with the
parameter forms?? Is it a bug???

No pal, that's not the problem. The problem lies with the
"BEFORE PARAMETER FORM" report trigger on the web. Check this
out on ur report server and u will understand my problem.

Export graphs from Web report

Hi.
I need to copy graphs from web reports in 3.5.To do this, i have followed a roundabout:
1. Save the page as mht (web archive file)
2.Copy the image from there and paste into Powerpoint or wherever required.
Is there any better way to do it? Or can I bring the save as mht option in the context menu?
Is SAP addressing it any soon?
Also is there any way to send graphs in addition to the tables via the 'distribute as email option"?
Cheers
Anand

When you broadcast using the standard template the template '0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING' is used for broadcasting. This template only has a navigation block and table item, this is the reason why the chart is not displayed in this template. If you create a custom template for broadcasting which has chart item in it you will be able to get the chart displayed (it will be always displayed.) See the attached link for custmoizing.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/0e044017355c0ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm
You can also override this behaviour if you attach the query to a custom web template, in this case when you broadcast you will get exactly what you see in the current report.

Parameter form in web reports

Hi All !!
I developed developer report(reports 6.0) and deployed it on web.Reports are made in character mode so that it can be stored in ascii format.our requirement is that output can be stored in ascii file on remote client M/C.
If I go to http://websrv/misbin/Rwcgi60.exe?server=repsrv+userid=scott/tiger@conn+Report=tsms_pending+destype=localfile
then as destype is local file so client can store it in notepad on his M/C.
In the case of report is having parameters then I go to URL : http://websrv/misbin/Rwcgi60.exe?server=repsrv+userid=scott/tiger@conn+Report=tsms_pending+destype=localfile+paramform=YES
My problem is :
As destype in parameter form can have one of the four value(cache,file,printer,mail) so I
can't select localfile as a option in this case.
Is there any way to include localfile in the option of DESTYPE system parameter of Developer reports.
Thanks in advance

Web reports parameter form is huge!

has anyone encountered a problem where the parameter form for a
web report is abnormally huge?
a look at the html source indicates that the sizes used for the
height, width, etc are in the thousands. the same report and its
parameter form work fine in client server mode.

hello,
this might be related to the X environment your DISPLAY is
pointing to. some x-environments cause the parameterform to be
rendered too big.

Web report with graph

Anyone knows how to do web report in 6i that contains graph?
please guide.
thanks

If your just after a simple graph, you can just run through the chart wizard and it will create a graph for you. When you run to the web, the graph will be converted to an image.

Parameter form for web report

Hello,
Using rwservlet on the web I can specify paramform=yes and I'll get a parameter form for my reports, which is really handy as it saves me from having to build my own forms. However when I run JSPs directly I cannot seem to get the automated form. Am I missing something obvious or is the parameter form just not available when you run JSPs directly?
Cheerio,
Robert

Hi Robert,
The description of the command line keyword PARAMFORM in Publishing Reports manual says:
Use PARAMFORM to specify whether to display the Runtime Parameter Form when you execute a report via CGI or a servlet. PARAMFORM is used only to supply parameters to paper layout reports, not Web source reports.
For JSP reports you need to create an HTML parameter form which calls the JSP and submits the parameters selected.
You can find Reports documentation (incl Publishing Reports here):
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html

How to pass parameter from xcelsius report to WebI report

Hi,
I have a pie chart in xcelsius. When user clicks on one of the slices of the chart I want to pass the selected slice value to a WebI report.
For this I am doing following steps
1. When user clicks on a chart slice the selected slice value will be written into a cell say B1
2. Create a URL button which will get triggered on change of the value of cell B1.
3. Set the URL value in the cell say C2. Here I am using Opendoc function to open Webi report.
If I enter following value in C2 and run the report it works fine and opens the desired webi report.
="http://myServer.xyz.com:9001/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=MyDoc&sReportName=MyReport&sWindow=Same&sRefresh=Y&lsSCompany=MyCompany&lsSDecision=" &$B$1
here I am Passing two parameters Company and Decision.
Now I want to make this report run in all the environment so I changed the actual path of server( myServer.xyz.com:9001) to following
="../../opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=wid&sDocName=MyDoc&sReportName=MyReport&sWindow=Same&sRefresh=Y&lsSCompany=MyCompany&lsSDecision=" &$B$1
but if I do this it gives me following error in Webi:
"Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address."
Is there any other way to open the WebI report from xcelsius?

Hi Peter,
the link provided refers to Xcelsius V4.5.
In Xcelsius 2008 you have to control Flash Vars in the Data Manager.
Go to the Data Manager, Add the Flash-Var Connection Type, Select CSV-FlashVar and define a name and a range.
But i am not sure if Xcelsius Engage can handle FlashVars, because i am only working with Enterprise.
Please take a look at your manual.
For sure there are other ways to import data during runtime. Take a Look at the Connections provided by Data Manager. (e.g. QaaWS, SSRS, LiveOffice, Webservices, ...)
Also take a look at the link below. It might be another nice option for "pseudo" data connectivity
