Pre-defined header in report

Hi All,
Maybe a stupid question but ... when we create a new ABAP (se38->create) in our system, a report header (lines and pre-defined fields) is already in there. It's not an existing pattern in the system (no entries in TSE05).
Can anyone tell me where this header in the ABAP is coming from and how we can change it ?
Thanks,
Rob Makelaar.

Hi,
Check this example code
PROGRAM ZARS NO STANDARD PAGE HEADING.
START-OF-SELECTION.
WRITE: / 'line 1'.
WRITE: / 'line 2'.
WRITE: / 'line 3'.
TOP-OF-PAGE.
WRITE: / 'Heading'.
ULINE.

Custom Report using pre-defined template

In 2012, How to create custom report using pre-defined reports template in below format?
Column1 :- Device Name
Column2 :- When installed (Date & Time)
Column3 :- Success (Date & Time)
Column3 :- Failed (Date & Time - With which error code)
Column4 :- Not Installed
Regards,
Onkar.

Here is what you need to do.
Start by writing the SQL query that you want.
Clone one of the existing report
Replace the SQL query with the new query.
Update the columns with what you need.

Trying to change a pre-defined report. Date format is wrong, 20140217 should be 17.02.2014.

The pre-defined report in sccm "Computers with specific software registered in Add Remove Programs" has a query like this:
Select DISTINCT sys.Netbios_Name0, fcm.SiteCode, sys.User_Domain0, sys.User_Name0, sys.Operating_System_Name_and0, arp.DisplayName0,
arp.InstallDate0
FROM fn_rbac_R_System(@UserSIDs) sys
JOIN v_Add_Remove_Programs arp ON sys.ResourceID = arp.ResourceID
JOIN v_FullCollectionMembership fcm on sys.ResourceID=fcm.ResourceID
WHERE DisplayName0 like @filterwildcard and fcm.CollectionID=@CollID
I have highlighted the part that I added to the report.
I have inserted an extra column in Report Builder, and added the value inside the column and the install date can be viewed in the report. However the date format is shown like this: 20140217 - I want it to be 17.02.2014.
So I try to change this via right-clicking on the cell in Report Builder, Text Box Properties, Number. Here I choose Date and the correct format. However it does not change the date format when saving and running the report again. It just stays the same.
Kthxbai

The format can be change if it was a date. But if you look that field it is NOT a date, it is a string and therefore will not change to the data format that you want.
On top of this, there is a bigger problem. Not ever setup records the date or in the same format so.....

Sorry - I am not sure what you mean by the last statement. "Not ever setup records the date or in the same format so.."
- Would it be possible to elaborate? Thank you very much.

How to create reports with the prompts like the pre-defined reports ?

We are analyzing pre-defined report: Historical Pipeline Analysis. When executed we can see the prompts for Pipeline Fiscal Quarter and Pipeline Fiscal Year.
If we open this analysis I cannot see how this prompt have been built.
If I save this pre-defined report (without any change) to My Folders and execute it from here, the prompts are gone.
I´d appreciate any help.
Antonio

I have the same issue. The prebuilt reports are actually dashboards, which is why the dashboard prompt filters show up.
I'm not sure how they get it to be a link like that on the reports tab (since the link doesn't point to a dashboard URL ).
Any idea how to get this same effect assuming I built the dashboard/prompt around updated report?

Export/Import pre-defined reports

Hi all.
Can i export reports (Dahsbooards, Pre-defined reports etc) created in one BI Server and import them to another? How? I have managed to import metadata using an rpd file but the reports havent changed...
Thanks, if I am not clear please tell me to explain, this is all new to me!

Open the RPD In online mode. In the physical layer, open up the connection pool that is being used for the database that reports are querying for data. Change the username and password. Check in connection pool, save the changes.
On a quick tip, the best way to handle this issue during migration is to use a static repository variable. Just create two variables for username and password and use these variables wherever required in the RPD. When you migrate the RPD, just change the values of the static repository variables after migration process. In this way you will avoid having to change the values of username and passwords in multiple places.
Hope your question is answered.

Pre-define filter for query in a BEx Report

Hi all experts, I have a question, I have created a report with WAD and Query Designer, and I need a pre-define filter for different user or different role. Anyone knows where should I set this pre-define filter to the query ? In the WAD itself, or must do it in backend ? My scenario is, lets say User A login to this report, he will have value A, B, C as filter value in characteristic Z, User B login to this report, he will have value D, E, F as filter value in characteristic Z. Perhaps you guys can understand what I trying to say.

Hi,
You can set a customer exit variable on characteristics Z. the value for Variable is populated in customer exit written in CMOD using I_STEP = 1.
You also need to maintain a mapping table for value of characteristics Z to user. Now if user A checks the Report, using the sy-uname you lookup to the mapping table and get the corresponding values of characteristics Z and populate the default value of the variable or straight away restrict it in the query by not making it ready for input.
Hope it helps....

Umesh

Pre-defined reports on activity

Post Author: Jon80
CA Forum: General Feedback
It seems that Business Objects XI provides pre-defined reports on the 'Activity' universe. Any idea where to get documentation on this universe and where to find these reports?
One of the reports should be named 'Document Information Detail'

Post Author: jsanzone
CA Forum: General Feedback
Jon,
There is a PDF you should be able to find on the BusObjects Tech Support site entitled "xir2_bip_auditor" here.
Also, as Amr pointed out, there is under your install folder a sample datbase and reports (biar) files (C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Samples). If you install auditor after the fact, then you'll have institute both the universe and reporting capability using the import wizard.

Can you define constants in Report Painter?

Hi, I'm new to Report Painter and SAP in general. I was just wondering if it's possible to define constants that are visible across reports. e.g. In the header text for all our reports, we want our company name to be displayed. But instead of hardcoding it, we want to retrieve it from a constant or variable.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for the response but this isn't exactly what I was looking for. From my understanding, the "Sel. Parameters" button allows you to access and display values that were entered by the user in the selection screen of the report (correct me if I'm wrong). What I'm aiming for is something like a global variable defined on the backend that all reports can access.
I've looked at the other buttons that you pointed out, but it seems like I'm only able to use some pre-defined tables and fields. Does this mean that there isn't any way for me to define and use my own customized variables for reports?
Thanks,
Carlo

Issues in creating a Pre-defined filter in Universe

Hello Everyone,
Here is the problem...
The idea is to have a prompt (Prompt1) to allow user select the Input type ..ie."Check Number or Invoice Number". There is the second prompt (Prompt2) which will allow user to input a value. Based on Prompt1 value, the prompt2 input should be evaluated against Check Number object or Invoice Number Object.
This is using a universe based on a BEx query.
Following useful information in the OLAP universe Best practice doc available [here] which Ingo once shared with us [on this forum], I created following pre-defined filter in my universe.
<OPTIONAL><FILTER EXPRESSION="IIF(@Prompt('Select Input type','A',{'Check','Invoice'},mono,free)='Check', [ZFIAP_IS1___F20].[LEVEL01],[ZFIAP_IS1___F46].[LEVEL01])"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Enter Check or Invoice Number','A',,mono,free)"/></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>
Where [ZFIAP_IS1___F20].[LEVEL01] = Check Number & [ZFIAP_IS1___F46].[LEVEL01] = Invoice number.
The object is parsing without errors in the universe. But when I use it in my report, the report throws an error " failed to execute with the error Invalid MDX command with " "
I took the MDX statment and tried to run/debug using MDXTEST and could never get it to work with the above objects. It was seen that the filter created in such a way is handled [Measures] object which only accepts Numeric values and not Strings. Where as my Check number and Invoice Number values are strings. The MDx statement is given below.
Has anyone experienced this issue earlier ?
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[4C46B176-CC15-DF11-92,5D,25,C2,A9,6F,0,0] AS ' IIF(Check=Check, [ZFIAP_IS1___F20].[LEVEL01],[ZFIAP_IS1___F46].[LEVEL01]) ' SELECT { [Measures].[4GQZ1D26O6QATUDY32CGL1C38] } ON COLUMNS , NON EMPTY FILTER( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( CROSSJOIN( [ZFIAP_IS1___F93].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS, [ZFIAP_IS1___F94].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZFIAP_IS1___F92].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZFIAP_IS1___F71].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZFIAP_IS1___F55].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZFIAP_IS1___F46].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [ZFIAP_IS1___F20].[LEVEL01].MEMBERS ), [Measures].[4C46B176-CC15-DF11-92,5D,25,C2,A9,6F,0,0] = 0000041924670) DIMENSION PROPERTIES [ZFIAP_IS1___F55].[2ZCCNODE01], [ZFIAP_IS1___F55].[2ZCCNODE02], [ZFIAP_IS1___F55].[2ZCCNODE03] ON ROWS FROM [ZFIAP_IS1/QZFIAP_BOUNV2]

Hi,
In fact, what you are requiring is feasible in Microsoft Analysis Services by defining a calculated meaure and a filter using this calculated measure.
Unfortunately, due to MDX restrictions in SAP, it is not possible to do it in universes.
I suggest that you create a range variable on Time to allow the user to only retrieve the dates needed.
You can retrieve all the dates and then apply a filter in Web Intelligence document: this solution might have the disadvantage to retrieve more data than necessary.

How to export multiple copies reoprts based on parameters and with pre-defined naming

Hi All:
I have a problem of using SSRS 2012, we have multiple clients and they wanted us to deliver the pre-defined excel reports to different branches based on selecting the "branch name" parameter, also they have a naming rule for the excel
report file.
We cannot use the subscription as they need to do it in one batch and upload to an FTP file, therefore we are doing this manually for over 300 reports. Is this a convenient way to generate them in one batch as well as customising their file names?
Thanks a lot for your help.
Cheers
Johnny

Hi JohnnyKahWang,
As per my understanding, there are multiple clients, you want to deliver reports to clients according to branch name parameter, and naming the excel file according to the rule. If that is the case, we can use data-driven subscription to achieve your goal.
Reporting Services provides data-driven subscriptions so that you can customize the distribution of a report based on dynamic subscriber data. Data-driven subscriptions use query results to determine the recipients of the subscription, delivery settings,
and report parameter values. At run time, the report server runs a query to get values used for subscription settings. We can use the Create Data-driven Subscription pages to define the query and assign query values to subscription settings. For detail information,
please refer to the following steps:
1. Open Report Manager, and locate the report for which you want to create a data-driven subscription.
2. Hover over the report, and click the drop-down arrow.
3. In the drop-down menu, click Manage. This opens the General properties page for the report.
4. Select the Subscriptions tab, and then click New Data-driven Subscription.
5. Choose a method of delivery, then select data source for the subscription.
6. Specify a query that retrieves subscriber data like below:
CREATE TABLE Name (
BranchName varchar(20),
ExcelFileName varchar(20),
Email_to varchar(50)
INSERT INTO Name values
('Branch1', 'Name1', '[email protected]'),
('Branch2', 'Name2', '[email protected]'),
('Branch3','Name3', '[email protected]');
IF we chose Windows File Share delivery extension, we can define path in the query.
7. Specify delivery extension options like below:
8. Specify report parameters to BranchName.
9. Specify when the subscription is processed, then click Finish to save the configuration.
For more information about Data-driven Subscription, please refer to the following documents:
http://msbimentalist.wordpress.com/2013/08/26/how-to-create-data-driven-subscription-in-ssrs/
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Hi All,
I'm getting following error message while schedule the webi report .
"Some pre-defined filters are no longer available in the universe. See your Business Objects administrator. (Error: WIS 00003) ".
I have migrated the universe and reports from XIR2 to XIR3.1 ; and getting above error in XI3.1 , its works fine XIr2.
Based on this error i have checked the Predefine filter in universe and its available . but report shows error.
Also i have created the new conditions with different name and added into report. but again i getting same error while schedule the report
However reports run fine after changed the sql mode as custom sql with same sql from objects and conditions.
Could you please anyone help for this issue?
Advance Thanks
Ponnarasu

Hi SC,
Thanks for your reply . our version 12.3.6.1006. X1 3.1 was installed with SP3 .
Anyway this issue is resolved via following method.
I have created the new universe ( Create new universe and copied schema and objects from exiting universe ) and exported in to universe folder . All related reports query changed to new universe. Now reports runing fine and without error.

Must i_structure_name for LVC_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE be pre-defined in dict?

When I've used lvc_fieldcatalog_merge in the past, I've always set i_structure_name to a literal - the name of a structure that I've defined in Data Dictionary.
If I declare a structure type in the "TOP" of an X function group, can I set i_structure_name to the name of this type ????
Or does i_structure_name have to be the name of a pre-defined dictionary structure?

MSAS OLAP Universe Pre Defined Filter

Hi:
We have a Universe based on a MSAS cube. The cube has only three time u201Cdimensionu201D objects u2013 Year, Quarter and Month. All come across as Character data types. The Month object displays the year and the month concatenated together (2009.JUL, for example). What we need to do is to create a pre defined filter in the Universe that will always give us the data for rolling 16 months. So, for example, if we run the report in July, the data would be for April 2009 through July 2010 u2013 of course, if the report is run next month in August, the data would be for May 2009 through August 2010. If anyone can offer any help in what the pre defined filter in the Universe would look like, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Didier:
Thanks again for your response u2013 the revised filter works without any syntax errors.
There are two problems. Firstly, we need it to dynamically calculate the 16 month period based on the month when the query is run, instead of prompting the user to enter the ending period as it does now.
Secondly, the dates that it brings back donu2019t appear to be correct. Here is what it brings back, if July 2010 is entered for the prompt:
2009.MAR
2009.MAY
2009.NOV
2009.OCT
2009.SEP
2010.APR
2010.AUG
2010.DEC
2010.FEB
2010.JAN
2010.JUL
What I would expect it to bring is the following:
2009.APR
2009.AUG
2009.DEC
2009.JUL
2009.JUN
2009.MAY
2009.NOV
2009.OCT
2009.SEP
2010.APR
2010.FEB
2010.JAN
2010.JUL
2010.JUN
2010.MAR
2010.MAY
Here is the exact Filter that I am using:
<FILTER EXPRESSION="IIF([Time].[H1].currentmember.member_value <= STRTOMEMBER("@Prompt('Select period','A','Time\Month',Mono,primary_key,Persistent)").member_value AND [Time].[H1].currentmember.member_value >= STRTOMEMBER("@Prompt('Select period','A','Time\Month',Mono,primary_key,Persistent)").lag(16).member_value ,1,0)">
<CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT CAPTION="1"></CONSTANT></CONDITION></FILTER>
Also, it does not seem to change the number of months returned even if I change the lag(16) to lag(15).
BTW, I installed the Adventure Works cube and tested the query there u2013 it works as expected when I use it there, as you had suggested in thefirst example you gave me.
Thanks again for your help with this.
Regards,
Nishant.

Pre-defined matchcode to a parameter

how can i assign a pre-defined matchcode to a parameter so that it can
evoked in at selection-screen on value-request event?? or are there any
function modules for this purpose?? It's a report program not a
transaction.
please throw some light...

You can create a Dynamic Matchcode by using F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST

You could also set the default on your entity or viewobject, in the properties of your attribute.
