Print data without creating a report

Hello,
I am using Oracle and Forms 10g. I have a table in tabular view with 10 records. I want to print those 10 records without creating a report. I have used the print button on the smartbar but it prints the entire form.
Is there a way I can print only the data in the datablock without creating a report?

Thank you very. A report is the solution to my problem. I was looking for something easier to implement but I see that there is not such a solution. I was hopping for example that you can press the print button, and get the data that are displayed in the data block. Your solutions work fine but are not easier to implement compared to the report solution.
Thanx very much for your trouble.

Report Generation Toolkit - Prints data from a previous report in Word

I am running an executable from the "system exec.vi" created with Labview 6.1. I am using the Report Generation toolkit vi's to create a report in Word that prints simple Title with test header and then appends a Table with measurement data. The problem is the measurement data in the table is from a previously printed report. This problem only exists when I Run the Report.exe from the "System Exec.vi". If I manually start the Report.exe in Windows or open in the Windows Commandline the correct data measurement data is printed in the report table. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank You

Hi,
So far I havent been able to reproduce this on my computer. Could you post your code so that I can try and reproduce this issue?

Printing Data File name on report...

I need the datafile names to print on a report - we give the user serval files to choose from on the report and it would be nice to have the one selected as a note on the report

we use a formula that alowes the to select say a file named New or Current. Both data files are layed out te same just different data. We have a internal formula.
Formula: tsAskFile
Description Use the tsAskFile formula to limit the file types the operator can choose when
the report runs. This formula applies to the main report. It also applies to all
subreports unless you use the tsSubAskFile formula on the subreports. This
formula does not have file merging capabilities. If you use the following formula
example on a report design, the report will prompt the operator to choose
between the New.glt file and the Current.glt file when the report runs. Without
the formula on the report, the operator could choose whatever file codes are
available.
Syntax u201C[<file type>(<file code name>[,<file code name>]*)]u201D
<file type> = the abbreviation of the data file type; for example: BLI, GLT, APT,
etc.
<file code name> = the file code name of the data file; for example: new, current,
history, active, standard, etc.
Example @tsAskFile = u201CGLT(new,current)u201D or u201CGLT(new, current)JCT(current)u201D
So we want to know which one the choose.

Read image raw data without creating image

Is there any way to read image raw data into an array from a file but not creating an image ? I looked through ImageIO. It seems that every time an image reader is called , a bufferediamge is created or reused ?
Tanks fro any advice.

Creating Portal Reports from Collab rooms

Curious to know if the following is possible...and if so, how it would be accomplished...
can a threaded discussion within a portal collaboration room can be combined with other SAP information (i.e. inventory data) to create a report....
Thanks in advance,
Geoff

You can do save the views in the Bex Analyzer. Like hwne you execute a query, then lets say you filter and add a drilldown, you can save this as a View from the Save button (View Global). Later views can be opened up in the Open button a sOpen > Saved Views. These views can be used as data providers in a web template.
Another idea...I am not sure if this works, but when you publish to the web you get a URL that has the "Query=..." at the end. You can try putting in your view technical name here and see if it works.
Hope this helps...

How to create a report without any data

HI All, Can anyone help me in writing a report without any data. I want to create a report with list of memebers from a dimension where UDA is "My UDA". I wrote a report "<UDA(CHANNEL,'My UDA')" but this fetches me data too in the report. How to eliminate the data in the report. Thanks Murali

Hi Assuming you are using the essbase report writer the following script will work: { SUPPAGEHEADING } { SUPCOLHEADING } { SUPFORMATS } { SUPFEED } { NOINDENTGEN } { FIXCOLUMNS 1 } <ROW("Dimension") <UDA(Dimension,MyUDA) ! the fixcolumns 1 will ensure that you only get the UDA without it you will get the variable followed by the corrosponding value.

Check InDesign data merge template for errors without creating document?

I've got a big InDesign template with hundreds of rows. Producing a full batch takes over an hour, and sometimes crashes. The deadline is fast approaching, and I'm waiting for the final minor amendments to the content spreadsheet, which could virtually land any minute.
I want to check for overset text errors on the current sheet without creating a merged document or PDF, so I can get on with fixing any likely major problems before the final sheet arrives - but I don't want to create a full merged doc, because that will take a very long time and will that doc's content will be obsolete, whereas the overall length of the text will change very little.
When you create a merged document, you have the option to turn "Generate overset text report" off. What I want to do, is ONLY generate the overset text report, without actually storing the merged document in memory.
Is this possible?
The closest I can see is click through the "Next" button in the Data Merge palette with Preview turned on, while watching the "No errors" preflight panel notification at the bottom of the screen. This is probably faster than creating a full merge, but still very slow.

That is what Indesign does when it does a data merge, it creates copies of the document and there's no way to change this. Have you tried exporting to PDF (In CS4 you can do this in one step from the original) and printing? I've never had anyone confirm it definitively but I'm pretty sure that the PDF created will be an 'optimized' one, meaning that when it sends it off to a compatible printer the images will be sent once and cached, with only the text that changes being sent separately.
Definitely worth comparing it to Publisher for speed anyway, Office programs can merge straight to the printer, but in effect they're doing the same thing. There are programs out there for doing far fancier stuff than data merge, probably the best is XM Pie, but unless you've got a printer that recognises their language they're a waste of time in this circumstance anyway.

How to create a report with data using the Crystal Reports for Java SDK

Hi,
How do I create a report with data that can be displayed via the Crystal Report for Java SDK and the Viewers API?
I am writing my own report designer, and would like to use the Crystal Runtime Engine to display my report in DHTML, PDF, and Excel formats. I can create my own report through the following code snippet:
ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
However, I cannot find a way to add data elements to the report without specifying an RPT file. Is this possible? I seems like it is since the Eclipse Plug In allows you to specify your database parameters when creating an RPT file.
is there a way to do this through these packages?
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definition
Am I forced to create a RPT file for the different table and column structures I have?
Thank you in advance for any insights.

Hi Rameez,
After working through the example code some more, and doing some more research, I remain unable to populate a report with my own data and view the report in a browser. I realize this is a long post, but there are multiple errors I am receiving, and these are the seemingly essential ones that I am hitting.
Modeling the Sample code from Create_Report_From_Scratch.zip to add a database table, using the following code:

Throws the exception
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: java.lang.NullPointerException---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
There was other sample code on SDN which suggested the following - adding the table after calling table.setDataFields() as in:
 String tableName = "Building";
 String fieldname = "Building_Name";
 Table oTable = new Table();
 oTable.setName(tableName);
 oTable.setAlias(tableName);
 oTable.setQualifiedName(tableName);
 oTable.setDescription(tableName) ;
 Fields fields = new Fields();
 DBField field = new DBField();
 field.setDescription(fieldname);
 field.setHeadingText(fieldname);
 field.setName(fieldname);
 field.setType(FieldValueType.stringField);
 field.setLength(40);
 fields.add(field);
 oTable.setDataFields(fields);
 oTable.setConnectionInfo(oConnectionInfo);
 rcd.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
This code succeeds, but it is not clear how to add that database field to a section. If I attempt to call the following:
FieldObject oFieldObject = new FieldObject();
 oFieldObject.setDataSourceName(field.getFormulaForm());
 oFieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
 // Now add it to the section
 oFieldObject.setLeft(3120);
 oFieldObject.setTop(120);
 oFieldObject.setWidth(1911);
 oFieldObject.setHeight(226);
 rcd.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().add(oFieldObject, rcd.getReportDefController().getReportDefinition().getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0), -1);
Then I get an error (which is not unexpected)
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportDefControllerException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213283 Error code name:invalidFieldObject
How do I add one of the table.SetDataFields() to my report to be displayed?
Are there any other pointers or suggestions you may have?
Thank you

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1. New Report
2. From Create New Connection-> XML
3. Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4. Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
 CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

Is it possible to use an XML Data Template to create a report in APEX?

Hi,
I have created an XML Data Template in BI Publisher passing one parameter and running two queries, then created an RTF Document Template to present the data.
I can create a nice report in BI Publisher using the two elements. I have used RTF Document Templates to publish reports in APEX but the data comes from a Report region running a single query.
I would like to run a report based in this kind of XML Data Template, in order to use several children queries related to a parent query. Is it possible to do it in APEX, or you have to use BI Publisher?

===========================
Below is a simple data template definition:
<dataTemplate name="cotizacion_template" description="Prueba de data template para cotizaciones" dataSourceRef="dbxprts">
 <parameters>
 <parameter name="p_id_cotizacion" dataType="character" defaultValue="1009" include_in_output="true"/>
 </parameters>
 <dataQuery>
 <sqlStatement name="header_query">
 <![CDATA[select id_cotizacion, fecha_cotizacion, id_clipro from f_cotizaciones where id_cotizacion = :p_id_cotizacion]]>
 </sqlStatement>
 <sqlStatement name="detail_query">
 <![CDATA[select id_cotizacion as id_cot_child, id_detalle_cotizacion, partida, cantidad, id_producto from f_detalle_cotizaciones where id_cotizacion = :id_cotizacion]]>
 </sqlStatement>
 </dataQuery>
 <dataStructure>
 <group name="F_COTIZACIONES" source="header_query">
 <element name="ID_COTIZACION" value="ID_COTIZACION"/>
 <element name="ID_CLIPRO" value="ID_CLIPRO"/>
 <element name="SUMA_CANTIDAD" value="F_DETALLE_COTIZACIONES.CANTIDAD" function="SUM()"/>
 <group name="F_DETALLE_COTIZACIONES" source="detail_query">
 <element name="PARTIDA" value="PARTIDA"/>
 <element name="CANTIDAD" value="CANTIDAD"/>
 <element name="ID_PRODUCTO" value="ID_PRODUCTO"/>
 </group>
 </group>
 </dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>

Hi,
I have the similar question. I used data templates in BI Publisher but now I want to use the same data template in Apex to print some reports.
I tried to some examples but these were only using report queries. I also tried with the Web Service but this didn't work for me either maybe because I didn't
used it in the right way. When I used the WS I received the binary of the report so the WS worked it was just the how and where to use it that didn't work for me.
Now this older entry is BUMPED maybe we find a solution for our problem this way.

Check Printing without creating Vendor

Hi,
We print check by creating vendor (which is a standard practice). Could you pl sugest me the wayout where I can directly Debit Expenses account and issue check in the name of Vendor.
eg. I want to make a payment for Advertisement without creating Vendor / Bill booking & want check printing in the name of Advt. Agency.
I have tried RVND (Free from vendor) but it doesent work.
Pl help me out.

Hi,
Will you help us ?
After inputting the Parameters in T/Code - F111 - for clearance of Payment Request ( for Vendor) we cannot edit the Proposal. We get a message as "Company Code ABC / ABC do not appear in Proposal 17.01.2008 1 R; correct".
Hence we went to view the Proposal list (Path - T/code F111 - Edit ->Proposal ->Proposal List), where the system has shown the above message.
If we execute T/code F110, it is also showing a window with the Program "RFZALI20", but after pressing enter, to go ahead it displays the "Open items", which could had been there in Vendor Line Items Display.
Is it a thing that Program "RFZALI20" is not picking the data in T/code - F111 ? or anything else we need to customise ?
If you are having any Customisation before for using T/Code - F111 pls. forward the same at [email protected]
Thanks & Regards,

How to create a report to bring all data from two different Info providers

Hi All,
I have a peculier problem while creating a report. I have two custom info providers one DSO and another Cube. There are only two common fields between these two Info providers . I need to create a report such that the report displays all the values from DSO but user can have the selection option on one of the fields in the Cube.
Here is an example
DSO Contents:
DocNum-     DocItem-     DocText-     Amount-      Quantity
10000----     10----            ABC----          100----           10
10001----     20----     DSN----     200----     10
10005----     20----     DSN----     200----     10
Z1003----     10----     CAN----     500----     1
Cube Contents
DocNum-     DocItem-     Date-----          InvoiceAmt
10000----     10----     1/10/2009----         50
10001----     20----      2/20/2009----        100
10005----     20----      2/25/2009----        100
The report needs to be displayed as shown below when the user selects value for date from 1/10/2009 to 2/20/2009
DocNum-     DocItem-     DocText-     Amount-      Quantity
10000----     10----     ABC----     100----     10
10001----     20----     DSN----     200----     10
I hope this was clear for you to understand. I would really appricate if any one can answers about how to resolve this problem. I cannot add the date filed to DSO and I also have Doc Num and Item as the user selection fields in the report.
Thank you all in advance and i would really appreciate for your suggestions.
Regards
Chinna

Hi chinna,
Two possible options, I can think of now, but both of them may be a compromise with performance.
1. create an infoset and then a query on top of it, provided we have a one to one relation in both the targets. That is, the combination of doc and item number is not duplicate in either cube or ODS.
2. Create a master data object of doc and item number and have date as an attribute. Load that from cube data and make date as navigational attr.
Use this navgntal attr for selection in your report.
Let us know, if you require any further info.

Getting 401 error while creating a Report Data Source with MOSS 2010 Foundation

I have setup SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services with SharePoint 2010 Foundation in SharePoint integrated mode. SharePoint Foundation is in machine 1 whereas SQL Server 2008 R2 and SSRS Report Server are in machine 2. While configuring Reporting
Services - Sharepoint integration, I have used Authentication Mode as "Windows Authentication" (I need to use Kerberos).
My objective is to setup a Data Connection Library, a Report Model Library, and a Reports Library so that I can upload a Report Data Source, some SMDLs, and a few Reports onto their respective libraries.
While creating the top level site, "Business Intelligence Center" was not available for template selection since SharePoint Foundation is being used. I therefore selected "Blank Site" as the template.
While creating a SharePoint Site under the top level site, for template selection I again had to select "Blank Site".
I then proceeded to create a library for the data connection. Towards this, I created a new document library and selected "Basic page" as the document template. I then went to Library Settings for this newly created library and clicked on
Advanced Settings. In the Advanced Settings page, for "Allow management of content types?" I selected "Yes". Then I clicked on "Add from existing content types" and selected "Report Data Source". I deleted the existing
"Document" content type for this library.
Now I wanted to created a Data Connection in the above Data Connection library. For this when I clicked on "New Document" under "Documents" of "Library Tools" and selected "Report Data Source", I got the error "The
request failed with HTTP status
401: Unauthorized.".
Can anybody tell me why I am getting this error?
Note: I have created the site and the library using SharePoint Admin account.

Hi,
Thank you for your detailed description. According to the description, I noticed that the report server was not part of the
SharePoint farm. Add the report server to the
SharePoint farm and see how it works.
To join a report server to a SharePoint farm, the report server must be installed on a computer that has an instance of a SharePoint product or technology. You can install the report server before or after installing the SharePoint product
or technology instance.
More information, see
