Prompts in Reports similar to Pre-built reports??

Hi All,
There is a pre-built report called 'Top 10 opportunities' in 'Pipeline Analysis'. When we execute the report, it shows the prompts at the top (Fiscal Quarter, Fiscal year, Region). And depending upon the value user selects in these prompts the report data changes
I copied this report in different folder and tried to execute it through there. But then it don't give this prompts as in pre-built reports. Do you know how to connect these kind of prompts to the reports??
I tried to create a Dashboard prompt and link it to the report. But then it only works if I execute it through dashboard and if tried to execute the report from Report Tab then it does not show this prompts.
Please let me know if you have any input/suggestion on this
Thanks & Regards

Hi All,
I don’t think pre built reports are designed using narrative reports. I think these are designed by using dashboard prompts. We could do the same and design a dashboard page with prompt on top but it will not work in direct report.
The alternate to do the similar prompts in report is by using the pivot table view (but pivot view will work if you have at least one matrix field). So in pivot view you can define the prompts on top and filter the report by that. But the disadvantage of pivot prompts compare to dashboard prompts is, these will be slow.
Try out by pivot view. Hope should help

Prompts in Pre-built reports

Does anybody know how the pre-built reports are made in regards to prompting?
e.g. the top-10-oppty report:
At top you have a dashboard prompt and underneath the report, which gets filtered by the values of the prompt.
This analysis looks like a dashboard page but shows up under tab Reports.
Any idea?
Thx
Martin

Hi Martin,
This is something that Oracle have done which cannot be replicated when building custom reports. You'll need to create a dashboard page and add your report and prompt to it to replicate this behaviour.
Thanks

As per my knowledge there is no full documentation available. But if you have enough time you can find this yourself.
Open the report in design mode, you will be able to open it, but not able to make changes and save (you can save as different name in different folder). you will get the all required details

Pre-built Tally reports

Hi,
Is there any pre built reports in ByD based for Tally integration ?

I'm surprised this wasn't published before but try the instructions below
"Open the installation file(.exe file) and select WIN32 folder.
Click on m29 .cab file,
Select auditing_rpt_en.biar. file and import it using Import Wizard.
Select auditing_db_mySql.biar.file of the uinverse and import using Import Wizard.
Default: 28 reports and auditing universe of SQL server database are obtained.
Note: For Business Objects XI R3.0 the path for auditing cab file is <Installation Directory>:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\Samples
and then follow the above steps 3 and 4"

Editing Pre-built quick list report - access denied?

I tried to edit a pre-build quick list report but I get an access denied error when trying to save it?
Can someone confirm if this is by design?
I just want to remove a column but I don't really want to have to create a copy of the report, then update the analysis that navigates to this report so it points to my new version. Also it will mean the Original version is still available via the reports tab which i would not want to avoid confusion.
Cheers

You cannot edit the Pre-Built reports, you have to open them and resave them to edit them.

HOW TO VIEW DATA IN PRE-BUILT ANALYTICS DASHBOARDS AND REPORTS

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?

Hi,

Prompt used as view selector for multiple reports

Hi All,
Can a dashboard prompt be used as View Selector for multiple reports? If yes, please let me know how?
Thanks
Sumita

Hi Sumita,
You can do this with Dashboard prompts, but it's a little tricky. I'll highlight the process below. Keep In mind I assume you have three reports already created and have three views: View 1, View 2 and View 3.
Phase I: The Dashboard Prompt
1. Create a new dashboard prompt.
2. Add any single column to your prompt. It doesn't really matter which one (just make sure nothing is prompted on it to be safe).
3. For the sake of this example, I'll assume we added column: "Test Folder"."Test Field"
4. Make sure your Operator is "is equal to/is in"
5. Make sure the control is "Drop-down List"
6. Change the Show to "SQL Results"
7. Write a SQL statement similar to the following (TEST =<your subject area>, "Test Folder"."Test Field" = <your column>):
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 1' END
FROM TEST
UNION
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 2' END
FROM TEST
UNION
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 3' END
FROM TEST
**Note: The reason why we need to do the CASE statement is because every logical query needs at least 1 presentation column. The case statement is a way to include the presentation column, but since the statement 1=2 is never true, we always use the ELSE condition.
8. Set a presentation variable. Call it VIEW_PVAR
9. Have the Prompt default to Specific Value: View 1
10. Save the Dashboard Prompt and put it into the Dashboard with your reports.
Phase II: Filter Reports
1. Create a new Answer request
2. Bring in your test column twice
3. Change the formula (fx) on the second column to be: '@{VIEW_PVAR}{View 1}'
4. Now add a filter to the presentation variable column
5. Set the operator to "is equal to/is in' and set the value to: View 1
6. Save the Request as "View 1 Filter"
7. Change the value in the filter to: View 2
8. Save the Request as "View 2 Filter"
9. Change the value in the filter to: View 3
10. Save the Request as "View 3 Filter"
Phase III: Guided Navigation
1. Create three sections in your dashboard
2. Rename each section to: View 1, View 2 and View 3 respectively
3. For each of the sections, do the following:
3a. Click on properties
3b. Click on Guided navigation
3c. Set the Guided Navigation to the appropriate Filter report
4. For each of the three sections, do the following:
4a. Add in all three requests
4b. Click on the request properties and select Show and the appropriate view for that section
5. Save your changes to your Dashboard
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!

Importing Stored procedures into pre-made report

Hello all,i'v got some trouble with some pre-made reports that we wish to start using with embedded java engine.Reports are stored procedure based and the built-in connection is ODBC.What I'd like to do is to change the datasource to JDBC datasource and run all queryes through there. Is is possible with CR4E ? Best regards,Henrix

Hi Henrix,
This is possible, however there is a known issue with the Database Explorer that ships with CR4E in that Stored Procs are not displayed. You can check out the following forum thread if you want more information on this specific issue:
*http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/520*
This issue generally affects creating new reports against Stored Procedures, but it will affect you as well as it will prevent you from using the UI to switch from one database driver to another, Primarily because the Stored Procs won't be displayed in the destination table that you wish to switch to.
To get around this we will need to create a simple java routine to switch the tables via code. The attached code below will go through all of the tables in the main report and the subreport and assign the new JDBC connection information:

Requirement: Creation of new report similar to VA05u2026

The Sales team need to use transaction VA05 to show all open orders, for all order types. It currently takes 9 minutes to run an open order report, 11 to include exporting the file from SAP.
There are currently nearly 30,000 Finished Goods open order lines. 29,000 of these are 'Statistical TPI orders', or 97%. This produces a 14MB excel spreadsheet!
These orders have been responsible for process errors and generate confusion within the sales support area, and as order reporting is prevalent across all areas of the business these effects must be common to all areas.
Business wants to create a new report similar to VA05u2026
My query is that I need to create a FD for these Business Requirement..

Hello,
Have you tried VA05N?
This is new version of VA05 & it has many selection criterion... So that you can limit the output as required.
As far as creation of FD is concerned, it all depends on your Standard Process... Generally functional person will have to explain to ABAPer the Required Ourput Format, Feilds details from which the data is to be picked, etc...
It would be better if you prepare a FD which will clarify things to Business & Technical Team.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
JIgnesh Mehta
