Product Tables vs Custom Report Results

I was recently asked to provide an installation list of Adobe Reader to one of my coworkers. This is simple enough - under the Asset Inventory/Workstation Inventory Tab in the Custom Reports I have created a simple report to show me where Adobe Reader is installed and I get results.
If I run the same type of report in the Asset Management/Software Management Tab Custom Reports again looking for Adobe Reader I get results.
However, if I look for that product in either the Product Catalog or Discovered Catalog I get zero results. I thought that for ZAM to be able to report on a piece of software that it should appear as either a Product or Discovered Catalog Product. Can someone explain why I am getting these results when I look in either of the Catalogs?

You should be able to see it in the Discovered Products list. I suspect you don't have the correct search criteria set in the column on the left. select 'All Products' in all the View fields on the left and 'Filter by' = Value and 'Field name' = product and 'Search string' = acrobat. This works for me and brings up all the products with acrobat in their name installed in our envirnoment.
The Product Catalog isn't what you think it is. Products are added by the user and represent the form the licences come in. Read the online help on the Product Catalog.

Customized report result file name?

Hi,
If we schedule a report, can we give different name to the resultant report file?
For example report file name is ABC_REPORT.rdf and output format is HTML and scheduled daily at 2:00AM.
0n 08/15 report output should be ABC_REPORT_08150200.HTML and 0n 08/16 report output should be ABC_REPORT_08160200.HTML and so on.
Is it posiible? If so, where we need prepare the report output file name?
Thank you,
Prasad

Hi Prasad
In before report trigger you can create the desired name using value from your user parameters and set the value for desname parameter. This would solve your issue.
Thanks

RICEF - Custom Report Test

I understand that R in RICEF entails the development of custom reports. However, how do we go about testing the custom report? Do we need to go to each table/screen the and see if value is correct? Does it typically involve testing only a sample?
Thanks.

Akshat,
For every new development, creation of test scripts is mandatory.
Example of a simple Custom report with 2 columns -
Billing document, Posting Yes/No
Test scripts
1. Take a billing document, accounting document not created
2. Take a billing document, accounting document created
Test steps
In selection screen, give billing document no.
Execute the report
Bill no.1, NO
Validation
Go to VF03, give billing document no.
Go to document flow, check if accounting document is created. If not, then the custom report result is OK.

Custom Report Layout with mutliple child tables

I am trying to create a custom report layout (using Bi Publisher) where I have parent data (multiple jobs on a page) and several child tables for each job (JobDays and JobStops) and several child tables for JobDays (JobDayProviders, JobDayCrew). On the apex screen, I have a join on Jobs and JobDays and I am using functions to string each child row value for JobDayProviders and JobDayCrew together and putting a <br> in between so that they will format on separate lines within a cell. It works fine on the screen but when trying to print to pdf, it ignores these line breaks. I have also tried using <br></br> (saw an article that said just use HTML in bi pulisher) which puts two lines in between each value on the screen and is still ignored on the pdf.
for example:
Table hierarchy:
Jobs table
Job Stops
Job Days
Job Day Service Providers
Job Day Crew
Report Layout per job (will have mutlipe jobs to print, just printing 1 day per job):
Jobs.col1 JobStops.row1 JobDay.col1 JobDayProviders.row1 JobDayCrew.r1
JobStops.row2 JobDayProviders.row2 JobDayCrew.r2
JobDayProviders.row3
Thanks,
Linda
First, is there a way to get bi publisher to recognize the line breaks? If not, what is the best way to create a custom report for this scenario? I tried to create a report query with mutliple queries, but cannot determine how to link the child queries to the paren query. I have seen an example where a button is pressed to print one parent row and the id of that row is saved and referenced as a parameter in each of the queries, but if printing mutliple parents on a report, how would I link the child queries to the parent query?

Helen,
The best way for your case is to use a content folder and customize it whichever way you like.
however, your question is about reports. the problem in reports is this that you have to use just one single query and the layout of the results of this query are displayed in a peculiar way.
anyway. something similar but not exactly the same as what you wanted do is the following.
use a query like the following: (with a union in between)
SELECT COLUMN1,NULL , NULL ,NULL ,NULL
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
UNION
SELECT NULL,COLUMN2 , COLUMN3, COLUMN4, COLUMN5
FROM my_source_table
WHERE myCriteria LIKE 'SoAndSo%'
---------- Now, have the following codes in the layout segments:

<table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" width="20%" align="center">

<tr align="center">
<td><table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" width="30%" align="center">
<tr align="center">
<TH><#COLUMN1.FIELD#></TH>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN2.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN3.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN4.FIELD#></TD>
<TD class="report_cell" ALIGN="LEFT"><#COLUMN5.FIELD#></TD>
</tr>

<TR><TD></TD></TR>
this should produce a report with a table structure (you may see the whole if you give BORDER="1" in the main table tag). Within this table, the first column of the first row should be showing top-leftmost column value once (COLUMN1 value) and then the next rows would show last four column values as a table block on the right-bottom part.
with kind regards,
naqvi

ILearning Custom Report on Custom Table

Hi
I want to create a custom report on my own (custom) tables.
- I created my table in the needed schema (where are the iLearning tables are, like ILA_USER)
- I created my custom report, for starters: "select * from own"
But every time I get an error saying: table or view not exits.... (ORA-00942)
Is the table choice for reports limited? (I think that because of the Table Definition button and list)
Any suggestions/ideas?
(please send it to my email address: [email protected])

you can access the custom tables in ilearning reports by
1. creating public synonym on custom table or
2. if you do not have permissions to create public synonym then grant select on custom table to ilearn_rpt
then use this syntax
select * from custom_schema.custom_table
or
select * from custom_table

i am writing a functional spec for the custom report to be developed by developers and need to know the table and field name for the following items:
Employee Number
Name
Original Hire date
Adjusted Hire date
Salary Class
Rate of Pay
Emp. Status
Classification
Acounting Unit
Activity (WBS)
Accrual Beginning Balance (Hours)
Accrual Beginning Balance (Dollars)

PlanDescription
Thanks,
Lisa

I can give you a 30,000 foot answer, but to get down to ground level I would have to know your system. There is way to much missing information in your request to give you a definite answer.
Employee Number - if you are using LDB PNP/PNPCE to run your report then it is the field PERNR-PERNR.
Name - IT/PA0002-NACHN -Last Name, IT/PA0002-VORNA-First Name.IT/PA002-MIDNM-Middle Name. Depending on your system configuration these fields are also stored on IT/AP0001-SNAME (Last Name-FirstName) or ENAME(First Name, Middle Name, Last Name)
Original Hire Date-IT/PA0041-This stores multiple date types with a specific code to identify what each one is. You will need to know the code for OHD.
Adjusted Hire Date - same as above
Salary Class- not sure what you are talking about, but salary information is stored on IT/PA008
Empl Status - IT/PA000-Stat2
Classification-not sure what field you are talking about, but IT/PA0001 is where this type of information is stored
Accounting Unit-same as above
Activity(WBS)- now you are getting complicated. This is stored in Cost Distribution HRT1019-POSNR, but you have to know how to connect the dots to get there.
Accrual Beginning Balance(Hours)-I would go to the ABWKONTI table in the Time Cluster for this fields ANZHL & KVERB
Accrual Beginning Balance(Dollars) - this will probably have to be computed
Used(Hours)-You can either compute this balance by computing the difference between the Beginning/Ending balances or read back through the appropriate Time Cluster Tables or total IT/PA2001 and IT/PA2013.
Used(dollars) will probably have to be computed
Other/Manual Adjustments(Hours) - not sure but you may be looking at IT/PA2013
Other/Manual Adjustments(Dollars)- will have to be computed
Accrual Ending Balance(Hours)-I would go to the ABWKONTI table in the Time Cluster for this fields ANZHL & KVERB
Accrual Ending Balance(Dollars) - this will probably have to be computed
Vested Status - I have no idea
Plan Code-Plan Code for what(Health Ins, Life Ins, Retirement Plans, Flexible Spending?)
Plan/Description-see above

open the service message application in the Solman.
Open a service message, focus the needed fields and press F1 for technical details. Try finding the tables by using the where-used list.

Use Formule on FORM with REPORT - result stored at table

Hi all,
What is the best solution for?
I have region with FORM WITH REPORT on the same PAGE.
Values stored at table INFO with column ID, MYDATE, TIME_START_HOUR, TIME_START_MIN, TIME_END_HOUR, TIME_END_MIN, SUM1, SUM2
ITEMS on the form:
P1_ID (hidden)
P1_MYDATE (date picker)
P1_TIME_START_HOUR (select list)
P1_TIME_START_MIN (select list)
P1_TIME_END_HOUR (select list)
P1_TIME_END_MIN (select list)
P1_SUM1 (hidden)
P1_SUM2 (hidden)
After user fill in MYDATE, TIME_START_HOUR, TIME_START_MIN, TIME_END_HOUR, TIME_END_MIN then I need proces for calculation SUM1 en SUM2. Result stored (one record) at table INFO.
Report shows all columns. User had possibility to update the record
Formule:
Select
(CASE
when to_char(mydate,'DY','nls_date_language=dutch') in ('ZA','ZO')
THEN substr(to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_END_HOUR||':'||TIME_END_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_START_HOUR||':'||TIME_START_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
(interval '00 00:00:00' day to second)
,12,5)
ELSE '08:00'
END) SUM1,
(CASE
when to_char(mydate,'DY','nls_date_language=dutch') in ('ZA','ZO')
THEN substr(to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_END_HOUR||':'||TIME_END_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_START_HOUR||':'||TIME_START_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
(interval '00 04:00:00' day to second)
,12,5)
ELSE '04:00'
END) SUM2
FROM INFO
where id=:ID
What is the best way for the calculation: computation or processes or etc? The calculation after or before user push button(New:create button of Update:Apply Changes)?
How to fill the answer (SUM1 and SUM2) at table INFO?
Thanks Walter

I have something similar I use:
DECLARE
str_day      VARCHAR2(10);

str_day    := :P1050_DATE_MM || '/' || :P1050_DATE_DD || '/' || :P1050_DATE_YYYY;
dt_indx    := to_date(str_day, 'MM/DD/YYYY');
db_dt_indx := to_char(dt_indx, 'MM/DD/YYYY');

dt_ed_tm   := TO_DATE(str_ed_tm, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI AM');
--Alter date if night shift
SELECT NVL(:P1050_NIGHT_FLAG,0) into shft_flag from dual;
IF dt_ed_tm < dt_st_tm THEN
    dt_ed_tm := dt_ed_tm + 1;
END IF;
db_st_tm   := to_char(dt_st_tm + shft_flag,'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI AM');
db_ed_tm   := to_char(dt_ed_tm + shft_flag,'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI AM');
end;You'll need to modify it for your page variables.

Adding data into a custom table through a report transaction

Is it possible to add data into a table through a report transaction. I have been asked to create a report in which when we add certain data in the selkection screen it updates thoses particular fields and the rest of the records can be fille dout in the output. Basically I have a customised allocation table called zalloc. I have to create a report with selection screen having receiving plant, material document of the original transfer psoting , issuning plant , line item number , batch, receiving and issuning storage location. I need to validate this against the mseg table and whatever entry I make in teh selection screen should update my zalloc table from here.
Can anyone help me with this please.
Thanks

Hi Aarav,
Yes, It is possible to add records to a table using a report transaction. You can use Update or Modify to insert records in a table.Convert the data fetched from the ZALLOC and convert it into an internal table of the same format as that of the ZALLOC table and simply do an
loop at itab_zalloc into wa_zalloc.
*INSERT INTO ZALLOC FROM WA_zalloc*.
endloop.
OR
INSERT ZALLOC FROM TABLE ITAB_ZALLOC
OR
UPDATE ZALLOC FROM TABLE ITAB__ZALLOC .
Update will modify if that record exist and returns sy-subrc as non zero if entry does not exist.
OR
MODIFY updates an existing DB entry or, in no matching entry exists, inserts a new entry into the DB table

Customizing the Related Products Table

In working with a responsive layout, I am having trouble working with the Related Products table using the {tag_relatedproducts}. I got the small product layout to respond well, but not when inside the productTable, productItem table elements. Any tricks to having each productItem stack, with each clearing the other?
Thanks in advance!

Never mind. I simply applied the following CSS
tr .productItem {
width: 100%;
height: auto;
clear: both;
display: block;
