Printing a dashboard analysis as multiple separate reports

Hi,
I have a report showing data pertaining to various different workers. Is it possibile to setup OBI to print different pdf reports, each for every worker. Or, at least, to set it up to print a single PDF report with different pages for every worker (then I'll split the PDF myself)
If that is feasible, would it be feasible also on a dashboard scale (i.e., a dashboard with 4 different analyses) ?
Thanks a lot in advance

If you are going to keep this in the Presentation Layer, you are not going to avoid creating multiple version of your reports in one form or another. You cannot use dashboard prompts as a column selector without involving the rpd. So you have several options:
1) Do what I outlined above for your 15 reports.
2) Create two versions of all of your reports, one for USD and one for EUR. Then create one dashboard and put all your USD reports in them and one dashboard to put all the EUR reports. Create another dashboard with one page which you will expose to the users. This page will have two links, "Reports in USD" and "Reports in EUR" which with Link of Image, will link to the two dashboards you created.
There are other methods I can think of, and if you insist on using a Dashboard prompt, you can do that too, but not the way outlined in the BiConsulting Group method that involves the rpd. In any case, it will involve making two versions of your reports, too.
This is your answer, though it may not be favorable to what you want to do.
Another alternative is this: Why don't you just expose both columns side-by-side so the users can see both? That way they don't even have to choose!

Separate Reporting and Analysis from Workspace

In the prior releases we have dedicated a separate server for Financial Reporting modules (FR web, scheduler, print server, etc.). In 11.1.2.x, we have Hyperion Financial Reporting - Web Application and Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Framework - Web Application.
What is the difference between these two? If I want to dedicate a single host for only report generation/report viewing how, could I separate Framework and Web services apart from Workspace (which we want on a server with the rest of Foundation services (HSS/APS/EPMA/OHS/EAS, etc.). Currently I have Reporting and Analysis Framework and Hyperion Reporting and Analysis Framework - Web Application on one server and Financial Reporting - Web Application by itself on a second. Which service needs the most horsepower/resources when executing batches/books and/or the odd 'large report'? I think it was implied that the Web deployments can be on more than one server and one can load balance the two instances. But suppose I really want to isolate the report processing away from Foundation Services/ Is there a recommended way to do that?
Thanks in advance,
-Vince

John,
No, I don't believe it will remove the apps and I have to change the target for each of the three apps to remove them from EPMSever0, and ensure they are in new managed server(s).
That's what I had to do when I separated Planning. (That was your hint, thanks)
Hope my plan is fine. (Sure will be doing a cold backup)
Thanks

Printing a Dashboard in pdf format with bigger font size ?

Hi,
When we are trying to print a Dashboard with few reports in pdf format, the font size seems to be very small in the print, and it is not readable.
Is there a way where in we can make the pdf's print a bit larger?
Thanks

Yes, at last I managed to change the look and feel of the generated PDF, including the font.
The attributes of all the objects that can be affected in the pdf output are kept in 2 .fst files: for general attributes in pdfstyle.fst and for pivottable attributes in pivot.pdf.
These 2 files are present for every skin, like Oracle_10 and Siebel77.
Try a global find and replace of 0.75pt to 4.0pt and 8pt to 20pt in pivot.fst. Save the file, restart the presentation server, log in again and try print to pdf of an existing pivot table. It will have thick borders and a big font.
I still do not understand that the same attributes are kept in 2 different files. For a color-change it is necassary to change the file views.css and the .fst file(s).
Good luck changing fonts and colors.

Publication - separate reports

We have a WEBI report that has an input control (cost centre) that allows only one value to be selected at a time
We wish to burst this report to cost centre managers, some of whom have responsibility for more than one cost centre.
I have set up a profile to include each of the managers and added the cost centres they are responsible for as profile values (in list)
Where a manager has resonsibility for more than one cost centre the published report instance (email pdf) is combining the cost centres (adding results together), not sending a separate report for each cost centre.
Please can you advise what I need to do to get a separate report for each cost centre?
Thanks

Hello Leanne,
This probably depens on the sort Recipient Identifier ID.
Keep the manager list not sorted and test.
Also please refer to this article for more details:
1653924 - Multiple emails are received for each email address when
setting the email field as Recipient Identifier in a publication

Group footer. Want to print one section in the body of report

I am working on an invoice.
It has two groups:
Detail line
Invoice number
In crystal the invoice number group header is ran than the detail line group fires.
After all the detail lines are printed for that invoice number the group footer for the invoice prints.
I have multiple sections in my invoice number group footer.
All these sections except the first has the property u201CPrint at Bottom of Pageu201D selected.
The First group footer section prints as it should directly below the detail section.
The second section print at the bottom of the page as expected.
The third group footer does not print till the end of the entire report. So if I have multiple invoices printing at one time I see an invoice subtotal for each invoice but the u201CTotal Dueu201D does not show until the last page. It is also always 0.00.
any help wouldbe appriciated.

I'm guessing here, but it sounds like the data record is not "available" (past EOF?) when the footer is being printed. Try putting the db field into a shared variable in the detail section (basic syntax):
whileprintingrecords
shared total as number
total = {SOShipHeader.CuryBalDue}
formula = ""
Then use the shared variable in the footer:
whileprintingrecords
shared total as number
formula = total

Setting the number of print lines in a Crystal 8.5 report

I want to be able to conditionally start a new page when the number of lines reaches a set amount. The report needs to print within the body of a preprinted report.
On a separate note, since Crystal changed from Business Objects it does not seem there is a knowledgebase that can be easily searched.

If you have any field in the details section that contains data then you can use the condition "NewPageAfter" that exist in section expert by right clicking on the details section and click on X+2 corresponding to "NewPageAfter" and write the condition like
remainder(recordnumber,10)=0
This prints the lines in a new page for every 10 records.
for 15 records then use this
remainder(recordnumber,15)=0
so on......

Multiple paged report

Hi, I am somehow new to SAP CR for VS2010 and I am trying to create a report that is divided in 3 pages with data in each page related to the previous page. How can i create a multiple paged report? What i want to do is something like this.
======will be printed in page 1==========            =======will be printed in page 2====             ===========will be printed in page 3=====
Rec no. Employee name EmpID Gross income   |      Basic Salary    Bonus Compensation     |          Exemption code      Tax withheld      Tax due
1            Peter parker      0001      $5,0000         |         $450               $200        $2.50           |                M1                           $50              $60
2            Emma stone   0002      $15,000           |         $500                $350       $10              |                S3                            $80              $55
this is just a sample data/field needed in each page. I tried using section expert and inserted another section under details but it does not give me what i want. TIA.

Yes, but this is going to be a bit tricky.
1. Create a formula called "InitPage":
     NumberVar page = 1;
     Place this formula in the report header - it won't display because of the final ";"
2. Create another formula called "SetPage":
     NumberVar page;
     if page = 3 then page := 1
     else page := page + 1;
     Place this formula in the page footer.
3. Create a formula called "InitRows": (NOTE: This assumes that your data for each row is using a numeric ID as the key)
     Global NumberVar Array rowInfo := [-1];
     1; //formulas cannot return an array, so we give it a meaningless value to return
     Place this formula in the report header.
4. Create a formula called "ClearRows":
     EvaluateAfter({@SetPage});
     Global NumberVar Array rowInfo;
     NumberVar page;
     if page = 1 then
          Redim rowInfo[1];
          rowInfo[1] := -1;
     1;
     Place this in the page footer below the {@SetPage} formula.
5. Create a formula called "SetRow":
     Global NumberVar Array rowInfo;
     NumberVar page;
     if page = 1 then
          if not ({MyTable.ID} in rowInfo) then
              if rowInfo[1] = -1 then
                    rowInfo[1] := {MyTable.ID}
              else
                   //Add one element to the array.
                   Redim Preserve rowInfo[UBound(rowInfo) + 1];
                   //Set the element to the value you need for linking the data.
                   rowInfo[UBound(rowInfo)] := {MyTable.ID}
     1;
     Place this formula in your details section - it won't show anything, but it will set up the array for use in the subreports.
6. Keep your subreports in the details sections as they are.
7. In the Section Expert, do the following:
     a. Turn off "New Page After" on the first details section.
     b. For the second details section, set the Suppress formula to:
               NumberVar page;
               page <> 2
     c. For the third details section, set the Suppress formula to:
               NumberVar page;
               page < 3
7. In your subreport, create a Formula called "FilterArray":
     Global NumberVar Array rowInfo
     Note that there is NO semi-colon on the end of this!
8. In the Select Expert, edit the selection formula to add something like this:
     {MyTable.ID} in {@FilterArray}
I haven't tested any of this other than to make sure that Crystal will verify the formulas. But, it should get you close to what you're looking for.

Apparently AA8 will work on Win7, though Adobe does not support it. They only support AA9 on Win7. The printer should be installed as part of the Acrobat installation. You do not add the printer in the sense that you suggest. Does Acrobat itself open? You probably need to do a repair to the Acrobat installation. Updates may also help if you are only running AA8.0. The updates can be downloaded from Adobe.com>downloads>updates. Be sure to install the updates in order.

Cross-tabs in Multiple Sub-reports

Post Author: Kiwi Jan
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I have created a crystal report which contains multiple detail sections (Da-Di). Each detail section contains a subreport, which contains a cross-tab.
I have done this because I need to create one excel spreadsheet which contains data from different types of cross tabs.
For example, one cross tab lists accounts and totals, the second lists accounts and totals by cost centre (17 of these), and a third lists accounts and totals by product group (11 of these).
I have lined up all the columns perfectly, and when I export to Excel (Data only), it works perfectly, and I get all the rows and columns of all the cross-tabs in one excel worksheet. Brilliant.
However, when I print, preview or export to pdf, I only see the "real" page and do not see any virtual pages that are shown in each of the sub-reports.
How can I print or view this from the main report and get the virtual pages as well, without stuffing up my export to excel?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kim,
What version on Crystal Reports are you using? If its CR 2008 then you can take advantage of the various gridvalue functions and the calculated member feature available.
Here's what you need to do:
1) In 'Preview' mode, right click the 1st col and select Calculated Member > Insert Column
2) This will insert a col after the 1st col. To make the newly added col appear 1st, right click on the top left corner of the crosstab and go to Advanced Calculations > Calculated Member
3) In the Properties area, set the Insert Evaluation to 'Before'
4) Now the new col would be the 1st col in the crosstab and it's values would be 0
5) You said you calculate the Billed Amount on some logic; you can apply the summarization logic by editing the calculation formula
6) Right click one of the 0 values in the new col and select Calculated Member > Edit Calculation Formula. Use the formula in this manner:
select Gridlabelat("Row",currentrowindex)
case "Job1" : 50
case "Job2" : 20
Default : 0
The function GridLabelAt() accepts 2 parameters: 1st is the name of the row. In this case it would be your database field name. Suppose your database field used as a row is called Customer.Country then the formula would be:
Gridlabelat("Customer.Country",currentrowindex)
You can use if-else instead of the select -case if you like, but this is where you need to apply the logic for billed amount.
At last, you'd notice that the Header for this col is blank. Just Right click the blank header and select Calculated Member > Edit Header formula and type in "Billed".
That's it! The grand totals for the row won't add the values from the calculated member.
Hope you get this working.

ABC-analysis in Open Items report

Good day, dear experts!
I got a task from my chief to find out how to use menu path "Go to - ABC analysis" in Open Items report FBL1N/FBL5N.
Everything I've found is a message "ABC analysis not possible here", Message no. 0K076, and old-old note for this message 414907.
Do someone use ABC-analysis for open items?
I think it's useless, but maybe I don't understand something...
Irina

Hi,
Nope, it is useful.
Execute FBL1N and select line items (Edit > Select All).
Then click on any amount column.
Then click on Goto > ABC Analysis
You will get the options to classify the line items in the A, B, C categories based on the % creteria etc. on that screen.

One parameter for multiple Crystal reports in Publication

Does anyone know if it is possible to enter one identical parameter for multiple Crystal reports in publication when scheduling? BOE 3.1 SP3 Windows, Java.
To elaborate I am creating publication with multiple reports, each report has one parameter and this parameter is identical in every report in publication. So instead of entering this parameter many times I would like to enter once.
If yes point me in the right direction to get the how to or post the steps.

Daniel,
Thank you so much for your answer. It was very helpful. In the end, it didn't work but it helped me figure out what was happening. I use a different form for the reports and I had it coded in the form which report to use. I created a second form for the second crystal and then I used an if statement to choose the form and it worked like a charm.
Thanks so much again!

What's the coolest, slickest way to present multiple ALV reports?

Greetings and good day, everyone.
Okay, I'm working on an update program, and the users have identified at least three different reports they would like coming out of this thing. One report is a list of transactions that fail internal logic checking, the second report is a list of transactions that pass internal logic checking but fail to update via a BAPI, and a third report is a list of transactions that pass checks and process correctly (i.e. update the database) via the BAPI.
At first, still being a newbie, I was wondering how I was going to create multiple ALV reports. I know I could do this using the WRITE statement, writing each report one after the other, but they have asked for the ALV report so they can do all the ad-hoc manipulating, sorting, etc. that ALV provides.
I came up with these options:
1. Instead of filling my single screen with the container control for an ALV report, as I usually do, this time I could put three containers on the screen. However, I know that cramps space, and I don't know if they'll be able to adjust or move things around other than scrolling.
2. Display a single ALV report on the screen, but have buttons somehow on the top that somehow take the user to other screens for the other reports.
3. First give the user a screen with all the buttons for the reports. They choose one, and the ALV report displays. They can click back to return to this screen, then choose a different report.
Nobody else in the office has done anything like this yet using the ALV, so I've got a chance to break some new ground internally and do something slick. Which option is best, and if so, do you have examples or general guidelines of how I do it? I've not had dialog programming, although I do understand the concepts from VB/Delphi experience over 10 years ago. I think I lean toward option 2, but I figured this couldn't be new ground in the SAP world and surely someone's done exactly this sort of thing.
Please help! ALL helpful responses, as always, are awarded points! Thanks so much!
Dave

Dave,
These are all good suggestions. I would just remember to keep in mind when designing your report two different things.
1. Can your program be run in foreground or background? If it has to be run in background due to data volumes you will lose all interactive capabilities of ALV. You might also not be able to do three different ALVs on the screen in background.
2. I am not sure if I understand your option 3 but if you are talking about the user selecting the options before the load the data, they might have to attempt to load the data multiple times to get all of the report.
My recommendation ( I think somebody already mentioned this) is to have a single ALV with a column on your report that the user can then sort or filter by. This way you are not limited to a program that has to be run in foreground.

How to print logical page number in TOC of report

My report has three sections - header, main, trailer.
after each group break in the main section the page number is saved using the srw.get_page_num(pageNum).
this records are used to build the toc in the trailer section.
Problem: srw.get_page_num delivers only the logical pagenum of the section,
means if the header section spans more than one page (for example 2), the main section starts at physical pagenum 3.
If I don't know how many pages my header contains I never have the real page number in my toc, beacuse i have to add the number of "header pages" to the saved pagenum of the main section to compute the "physical pagenum".
Is there a possibility to save the physical pagenum in the header section (in a trigger) ?
Message was edited by:

Thats my huge problem - i can not calculate the number of pages
nor in the main section neither in the header section.
The problem is not to know how many pages are in the trailor section.
I have to know, how many pages are in the header section without to start multiple the report.
If I have this number i can add it to the "logical" page number" of the main section to get the physical page number of the report.
the page numbers of the main section are available.
