Passing report name as report title

Using Desktop Publisher for Word and a standalone BIP Enterprise version, is it possible to pass the report name to the rtf template so that it could be used as the report title?
This feature would be useful when there are multiple reports (different names and slightly different queries/criteria) that use the same templates. We could then dynamically change the report title based on the report name.
Thanks,
Haresh

Haresh,
I'm not sure if there is any simple way to print report name in rtf template.
But there is a work around. Follow below steps...
1>create parameter called Report_Name in every report
2>put default value for that parameter as report name (Title)
3>select parameter type as Hidden
Now in rtf template.
<?param@begin:Report_Name?>
<?$Report_Name?>

  • Special Characters in Report Name or Report Description(URGENT)

    Hi All,
    I am using Hyperion Financial Reporting System 9 tool. Could anyone tell me what problem we face if we use special characters in report name and report description?
    Waiting for quick response.
    Regards,
    SN

    when using "&" in report and folder titles we had issues with report books not being able to run and also the report name would be incorrectly described.
    try to avoid if possible, there is a lower risk if using on an all windows enviroment (clients and servers) but if you have *nix OS it does introduce complexity.

  • Get Report Name for Report Painter

    Hi Gurus,
    I need in an ABAP program to find dynamically the name of a report generated via Report Painter and associated to a TCODE.
    I got the tcode.
    How i can find it? I find the cluster number in GRRT but i don't know how to convert it in my report name (or even if i'm on the right way)

    Hello Clemens,
    as soon as the report is associated to a transaction code, it should be in TSTC
    Not necessary
    You create a parameter transaction when attaching a tcode to a report painter report which gets stored in TSTCP.
    Cheers,

  • Passing printer name to reports

    Greetings:
    I have a report in 6i that will print to any of my printers fine if I run it in preview and then select File/Print/<Printer_Name>. The problem is that I want to pass the printer name in code rather than the user manually selecting. I've tried passing a parameter list in run_product (being called from Forms) but all I get in a blank page for output. Any ideas? Thanks!

    Hey,

    Thanks everyone,
    Yes, I did try that Haritha but it didn't work. I've gotten it to work now, all I did believe it or not was set the "Orientation" in the property pallete to either portrait or landscape before compiling the report and it works now. Seems weird but it worked! On another note, please see my post about the report background engine.

  • Report Name does not come when converted to HTML format.

    We are using Report Builder 10.1.2.3.0 to convert a .rep file to HTML. We need the HTML output file to feed to a reports to xls converter.
    Problem is, the html output does not have the report name. Report name (and also date, time. user, page etc.) are in the margin section. For some reason, it wont print the report name in the html. It works fine when I run it in the builder.
    Here is a graphic of the actual outputs: http://postimage.org/image/uio1x32gt/
    Why is this??? The property palette for a label that is printing in all pages (like Date ) is the same as for the report name (GL EXTRACT DETAIL REPORT), BUT it does not appear in the HTML output???
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    PS: We use rwrun.exe with desformat=HTML.

    hi,
    have you tried another label for the header of your report.Hi Amit, I tried that, and you are right.
    I created a simple text boilerplate in the margin , on top of the report name. And when we generate the HTML it comes in every page properly.
    The property palettes of the 2 texts are EXACTLY the SAME.
    So why doesn't the old text (with report name) does NOT appear and ONLY the new text appear????
    Cos, we are trying to generate an MS Excel version of every report. For this, we use a tool called rep2excel, and it users as in input an HTML file. So, we have to generate the HTML from the rep and feed it to that.
    So, since we have 200 odd reports, we will have to change all of them, that is why.
    Here is the output (HTML file): http://www.freeimagehosting.net/newuploads/dgrip.gif

  • All Report Manager Report Name

    Hi All,
    Report manager has more than 5000 reports. I want to check which all reports are active and which all reports are inactive.
    From catalog table I can see report name but if it will be run once also in report manager then only it will show report name in catalog.
    Is there any table available on Report Server database from where we can see which all reports are available on Report Manager?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Khushi

    Hi Khushi,
    Based on my research, I find that the general properties of all the items (including Date Sources, Datasets and reports) on the Report Manager are stored in the Catalog table in ReportServer database. And it stores the current data refer to the Report Manager.
    If we have modify something (upload or delete some documents) on the Report Manager, it takes a synchronous update on the table. So the table is in sync with Report Manager.
    Different value in the Type column represent different type in the Report Manager. The type=2 represents Reports in the Report Manger. If we want to select all reports name in Report Manager, we can use the query below:
    use ReportServer
    select Name
    from dbo.Catalog
    where dbo.Catalog.Type=2
    If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
    Thanks,

  • Pass column-name as a parameter to reports

    Hello,
    the code below calls a report. But now I want to sort the rows in the report. For example I have a text-item in my form-modul. If I type a column-name and press the button then the rows should be sorted in the report. Is it possible tp pass column-names as parameter to reports?
    DECLARE
    repid REPORT_OBJECT;
    v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
    rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
    BEGIN
    repid := find_report_object('STATIONSTOPOLOGIE');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,RUNTIME);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'rep_oracle-dev');
    -- SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no pdeptno='||:dept.deptno);
    v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
    rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
    WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')

    rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
    END LOOP;
    IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://oracle-dev:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
    substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=rep_oracle-dev','_blank');
    ELSE
    message('Error when running report');
    END IF;
    END;

    Hi,
    the work has been done in reports. You can use a lexical parameter in reports to add a condition for sorting to the query like:
    select .. from .. where ... &p_order.
    Then add another parameter to the report (for example p_param). Fill p_param via your interface in forms (SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER, ....) with the column name. Then build a report trigger like:
    if :p_param is null
    then
    :p_order:= null;
    else
    :p_order:= 'order by '||:p_param;
    end if;
    But have a look, that p_param can only get correct values.

  • Passing report name to be used in distrubute destination file?

    How can I pass the report_name used in %1 in my cgicmd.dat file to be used in my dest.xml file. Otherwise I am going to have to have a lot of destination xml files (one for each report)
    In my cgicmd.dat file i have the following:
    pm_report:report=%1 destype=cache DISTRIBUTE=YES destination=/home/oracle9i/dst/dest.xml server=rep userid=x/x@x %*
    which uses the dest/xml of:
    <destinations>
    <file id="MyFiles1" name="/home/reports/output/Daily_Volume_Delays.pdf" format="pdf">
    <include src="report"/>
    </file>
    <file id="MyFiles2" name="/home/reports/output/Daily_Volume_Delays.htm" format="html">
    <include src="report"/>
    </file>
    </destinations>

    Hi,
    One distribution file can be used to output to different output formats like html, pdf, rtf, etc. For example, the sample distribution file you wrote in your earlier post will output the report into html and pdf formats. So you do not need to have a separate distribution file for every output format.
    Similarly, passing the report name is not an issue. The distribution file does not care about the report name. You can use a single distribution file for all reports - just pass the report name in the command.
    However, you may still need a separate distribution file for every report definition. The reason is that if you use a single file for all report definition files, then the output report name will be the same for all reports (eg, "Daily_Volume_Delays.pdf"), that is, they will overwrite the previous output with same filename.
    You can get more information about distribution in Publishing Reports 10g Chapter 15 (Creating Advanced Distributions):

  • FROM - TO Dates passed from prompt into the Title of the WEBi report

    What is the right approach to pass two reporting period dates (FROM /TO) from user's input into the Title(Header) of the Universe based WEBi report, like "Tickets submitted from:MM-DD-YY to:MM-DD-YY"
    Maybe this is trivial but it is easier to do in CR and I am not sure how to do it using Universe objects.
    These are my first steps in building real production Universe.
    Thanks in advance!
    Alex

    i dunn know if i understand you well, but it seems like you want to pass 2 dates (from, to) to some report and to have those 2 dates in the report title.
    its too easy, first at the universe level you have to have a Date objects, which comes in the time dimension.
    when you create a report usin Webi, just drag this Objects to the query filter and make the operator "between" and make both of them "prompt"
    give two texts to the prompts lets say "From Date" and "To Date",,,, and run the report.
    at the report design mode there is a function called "UserResponse"
    in the report title text add this =userresponse("From Date")
    you can modify the text as you require.
    good luck

  • Templates and Passing a Report Name

    I need to create a template and have the report name passed on to that template, but I need a bit more detailed of an explanation then the following:
    Create a user parameter on the template and then pass the report name to the parameter at run time.

    I wish to have the report name sent to the template so that at runtime the report name will show. I have created a parameter for this to be passed to, and put a field in the header of the template to accept the parameter: what I need to know is how do you send the name of the report which exists in the property palette under -Report -General Information - Name node to the field on the template so it shows at runtime.
    Thanks

  • Passing report name to Labview

    i am more than new to Teststand, have read the whole answers that might match my question but i found no way to have my problem solved!!
    in most answers there were reffered to ReportOptions thing which i could not find at all ..
    so how could i pass the report name which i need to a vi .. and is it bad to put this step in the cleanup .. as to be sure that all other steps in the main section were executed!??
    thanks alot ...

    Just use this expression "RunState.Root.Locals.ReportFilePath", in your Main Sequence, it will return the Path of the Report File, you can pass directly this string to the LabVIEW modules.

  • Briefing Book Title shows the name of the Analysis along with Report Name

    Hi,
    When I add a report to the briefing books, The title of the PDF document shows the report name and below that it also shows the name of the analysis. Normally we save our analysis with some standard naming conventions having some special characters. Client does not need that name in the PDF.
    How can I stop the Analysis Name to appear on the briefing book?
    Please suggest.
    Thanks
    Gaurav A.

    That's a great question, and it seems like something that should be standard with iCal.
    The only thing I could think of would be to add the patient as an invitee, but that still wouldn't solve the problem of having their name be the title of the appointment. But the auto-complete function is there.
    The other option (which is more convoluded) would be to use Filemaker Pro. It is extremely powerful and customizable and there are plenty of people out there who know how to develop for it. This option would be more expensive, but it could also be custom-tailored to your needs.
    Those aren't great answers so I'm interested to see what others say. I'd like to implement it into my own iCal app.

  • PASSING A CR2008 REPORT NAME TO CRVIEWER

    Please bear with me since I'm new to this part of VS2005/cr2008. I have created a form using vc2005 where i have the crViewer in the form. If I hard code a cr2008 report name in the the report souce area, when I run the form, the report gets displayed. However, what I need to do is to have this form accept a different cr2008 report file name each time. I took a look at your examples, but they all have the reportsource as hard coded...
    is there away where I can create s skeleton vs2005 form that will accept and display a cr2008 report file ?? I was able to do this using visual foxpro and version 8.5 and version 10 but i can;'t geet it to work in vs2005...any comments greatly appreciated or of you can point me to some documentation about this wonderfull...thanks in advance...

    i am currently using the evaluation copy of cr2008...and vb2005 to create the crviewer for the report.
    this is my code...
    Public Class Display_report
