Publish Report from Report Builder

Hi,

Hello,
An open source server as replacement for MS SSRS = Reporting Server? Not available.
You can use the free "MS SQL Server Express Edition
with Advanced Services", which includes SSRS, but it has some limitations, see

Advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer

Hi,
anyone can explain advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer?
thanks in advance!

The best way i found was to put a equals and then double quotes... this only works for excel however it will allow you to cut and paste (ie to use the value to search in Oracle) and also to do vlookups.
In a bit more detail:
- I used word to generate my default table
- this created a field INVOICE_NUM
- in the cell in the table i put = " before the INVOICE_NUM field and then put the closing " afterwards.
The theory is that excel will concatenate the values together... because it has quotes around it, it will treat it as a string rather than simply a value.
For any other formats this will not work.
I'm guessing most people have moved on and resolved this some other way, but just thought I'd share the wealth!

BI Publisher Report Build - XML view

Hi Experts,
I am trying to build the BI publisher report. During the process, I am defining the SQL query structure in the 'Query Builder' once after that I have saved the report.
As part of the next step , I have clicked on 'view' link to view the report structure as mentioned in the OBE.
I could only see the 'Data' view but not the 'XML' view. Is there any way I can see the 'XML' view.
Any help would be appreciated
Siva

Data means look at the xml data that you have created.

Report Builder Wizard and Parameter Creation with values from other data source e.g. data set or views for non-IT users or Business Analysts

Hi,
"Report Builder is a report authoring environment for business users who prefer to work in the Microsoft Office environment.
You work with one report at a time. You can modify a published report directly from a report server. You can quickly build a report by adding items from the Report Part Gallery provided by report designers from your organization." - As mentioned
on TechNet.
I wonder how a non-technical business analyst can use Report Builder 3 to create ad-hoc reports/analysis with list of parameters based on other data sets.
Do they need to learn TSQL or how to add and link parameter in Report Builder? then How they can add parameter into a report. Not sure what i am missing from whole idea behind Report builder then?
I have SQL Server 2012 STD and Report Builder 3.0 and want to train non-technical users to create reports as per their need without asking to IT department.
Everything seems simple and working except parameters with list of values e.g. Sales year List, Sales Month List, Gender etc. etc.
So how they can configure parameters based on Other data sets?
Workaround in my mind is to create a report with most of columns and add most frequent parameters based on other data sets and then non-technical user modify that report according to their needs but that way its still restricting users to
a set of defined reports?
I want functionality like "Excel Power view parameters" into report builder which is driven from source data and which is only available Excel 2013 onward which most of people don't have yet.
So how to use Report Builder. Any other thoughts or workaround or guide me the purpose of Report Builder, please let me know.
Many thanks and Kind Regards,
For quick review of new features, try virtual labs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/aa570323

Hi Asam,
If we want to create a parameter depend on another dataset, we can additional create or add the dataset, embedded or shared, that has a query that contains query variables. Then use the option that “Get values from a
query” to get available values. For more details, please see:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283107.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220464.aspx
As to the Report Builder features, we can refer to the following articles:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh213578.aspx

Hope this helps.

Why is printing report different from report builder and app server

I created a report and when ran from report builder it looks fine.
And when i moved the report to server and ran the report in the browser using this url
http://192.1.1.8:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=esp/esp_dev1@wdev&report=FMMA_VOUCHER.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
and print it the report shrinks, the fonts become small and the margins change. I am having hard time how to figure out a way to correlate the formatting in the report builder and when i run on the server using pdf format.
Is there any way to set the server so that the pdf output matches with the report builder.
Thanks.

REP-0002: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file;

Hi,
I've a custom report in which i need to display a large string, of more than 4000 characters. To cater to this requirement i've written a formula column which displays string upto 4k characters and for a string of size beyond 4k i am calling a procedure which uses a temp table having a clob field.
For a small string the report runs fine but whenever a large string requirement comes into the picture, said procedure gets triggered and i get REP-0002: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file.
OPP log for the same gives an output as under:
Output type: PDF

Report Builder 10g

RDBMS Version : 10.2.0.4.0
Oracle Applications Version : 12.0.6
Searched for the same on metalink and found Article ID 862644.1, other than applying patch and upgrading version of BI Publisher is there any other workaround to display a comma seperated string as long as 60k characters, If any please suggest.
Thanks,
Bhoomika

Metalink <Note:1076529.6> extracts
Problem Description
When running a *.REP generated report file you get errors:
REP-00002 Unable to retrieve string from message file
REP-01439 Cannot compile program since this is a runtime report
Running the same report using the *.RDF file is successful.
You are running the report with a stored procedure,
OR you are running against an Oracle instance other than the one developed on,
Or, you recently upgraded your Oracle Server.
Solution Description
1) Check that the user running the report has execute permissions on any stored
SQL procedures called. <Note:1049458.6>
2) Run the report as an .RDF not an .REP , that is remove or rename the .REP
version of the report. <Note:1012546.7>
3) Compile the report against the same instance it is being run against.

Run BI Publisher report from an application directly to a printer.

Dear All,
I have an HTML page (with JavaScripts),
I want to Run BI Publisher report from this page directly to a printer. (and send parameters).
Can anyone help me, and send me Demo URL or Demo code to do this?
Regards,
Tovit

Tovit
you are going to have build out a servlet that the page can call. The servlet will need to implement the supported web services to schedule a report. The schedule can include the delivery options ie to a printer. So you would create a schedule that runs the report immediately via the scheduler and then to the printer.
I dont currently have any servlet demos but the services are pretty well covered in the user docs.
check them out and give it a try, if you get stuck let me know

How to Publish a report created by Oracle report builder

Hi Everyone
My colleague and I were trying to use the Oracle Reports Builder to replace our existing reports generator from our ERP system. We have already created the report in the Reports Builder from the development suite.
What we are looking for is a similar solution as the Microsoft reporting service;
1) create the company report templates
2) and then upload the template files to a location (e.g. folder on the server)
3) then all user in the company can access it by a web browser with some fields which they can enter some critiria (e.g. purchase order number).
4) then send to printer and the print out should look exactly like the template.
Unfortunately, we had very bad time on try to find out what we need and how to publish that Oracle report we created. We spent 15 hours on that but no result.
In that 15 hours we tried to setup the "Oracle report service", but at last my colleague said that wasnt what we looking for, the "Oracle report service" is for reporting the error from the application hosted on the server, not for publish the company report created by the "Oracle report bulider" .
We use Oracle Database 10g for the ERP quite a long time already. We had the Oracle Developer Setup, and the Application Server Installed.
Could someone please tell us what kind of Oracle service we are actually looking for. Any other suggestion and setup guides are also the most welcoming.
Best Regards
Bryan

Hello,
If you want to be able to execute your Reports on the web, the best solution is to use the "Oracle Application Server"
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html
For example , the "Forms & Reports Services Standalone" edition
Then, use the Reports Servlet to submit the execution requests to a Reports Server :

Can not connect Oracle 10g express edition from report builder.

I have newly installed report builder . Different home was selected for Report builder and oracle. Oracle database server is also in the same machine. But i am not able to connect my oracle 10g express edition database. It throws error ORA-12154 : TNS could not resolve service name.( same error displayed while trying to connect from SQL Plus).But from toad i am able to access the database. May be because here I am able to select the proper home.
Here i am adding my tns entry
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 1ECA66A679AB494)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
can any one suggest what the actual problem is?
Thanks ..........

Hello,
Oracle 10g XE is rather specific and, I'm not sure that you can upgrade it to 10.2.0.4 .
However, Oracle published an Upgrade Guide for Oracle Express Edition but, it's limited to *10.2.0.3*:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/server.102/b32391/toc.htm
But be careful:
Once you have upgraded to Oracle Database 10g, you cannot downgrade back to Oracle Database Express Edition.Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

Call Report Builder from Jdeveloper 10g with parameters

hello , how are you
i am in oracle forms for long , today i am work in jdeveloper 10g, i want some questions
1- how call oracle report builder from oracle jdeveloper 10g with parameters
2- if there aren't call from jdeveloper 10g, what is good report tools?
thanks.

I'm assuming that what you want to do is actually run a report from a JDeveloper application.
To do this you can use the various ways that Reports offer to invoke reports with the report server - including URL & Web Service interfaces.
More information on these in the Oracle Reports - Publishing reports manual.

Error publishing reports from BW

Hi,
I am facing some issues while publishing reports from BW system. I have taken care of all the settings mentioned in Integration Kit guide. We are using BOXI 3.1 SP3 OS:windows 2008 (64-bit)
The error that we are getting is:
"0000000001 An error occurred when retrieving the role metadata for YBW_BO_CONTENT_PUBLISHER. Returned with RFC code 18 and message: See RFC trace file or SAP system log for more details"
I have enabled the trace also, still not able to find the root cause.
Need help urgently. Thanks.
Amit Tewatia

Hi Startos,
I have matched the auth. as per the admin guide, everything is fine with the role. I have checked the trace file logs, part of which is below:
"Starting up callback server at 10.239.30.2 sapgw00 with prog-id SEGIDC8BBB5A3

No idea why it calling this IP. This is not the IP of our BW server. please suggest where to check for this.

XML Publisher Report Output from OAF Page

Hi,
I created a button in a OAF page, and called the XML publisher Report program on click of this button. The concurrent request was ran when check from View Requests. When I click on viewout, the pdf document was open with the option, open, save, cancel. But this is not coming up in the OAF page. when debugged the code, the url is null.
Please see the below code.
OADBTransactionImpl oadbtransactionimpl = (OADBTransactionImpl)paramOAPageContext.getRootApplicationModule().getOADBTransaction();
String s1 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("TWO_TASK");
System.out.println("s1 = " + s1);
String s2 = oadbtransactionimpl.getAppsContext().getEnvStore().getEnv("GWYUID");
System.out.println("s2 = " + s2);
String s3 = "BEGIN :1 := fnd_webfile.get_url(fnd_webfile.request_out, :2, :3, :4, 2); end;";
CallableStatement callablestatement = paramOAPageContext.getApplicationModule(paramOAWebBean).getOADBTransaction().createCallableStatement(s3, 1);
System.out.println("s3 = " + s3);
if(requestId != 0)
try
Number number = new Number(requestId);
callablestatement.registerOutParameter(1, 12);
callablestatement.setInt(2, number.intValue());
callablestatement.setString(3, s2);
callablestatement.setString(4, s1);
callablestatement.execute();
String s4 = callablestatement.getString(1);
System.out.println("Before S4 if statement");
if(s4 == null || s4.equals(""))
// throw new RuntimeException();
System.out.println("URL is null");
System.out.println(" print ouput url - " + s4 );
// throw OAException.wrapperException(exception);
oadbtransactionimpl.putValue("OutputURL", s4);
System.out.println(" print ouput url - " + s4 );
}

Look at the links AJ gave.
Basically what you will do is create a Data Definition and assign a Data Template to it. Create a (document) Template and assign it to your data definition. You will use the XML Publisher Java API classes to pass parameters to your data template and extract the XML data. Then you will use this in conjunction with your document template and the OAF integration region to present the final output to the user.
All of these things are in the XML Publisher documentation and Javadocs.

BW - EP Connection to Publish Reports From BW

We have implemented Enterprise Portal 6, and are running BW 3.5
I have been trying set up the connection between the 2 systems, so that I can publish reports from BW to EP
SSO between EP and BW is working - I can create a BW iview, or run a BW transaction without having to sign on again to the BW server.
I have checked the RFC connection from BW to EP using transaction SM59, and it all seems to be working fine.
When I am in the Web Application Designer in BW, there appears the option to Publish to Enterprise Portal 6.0. I can see the destination that I created to point to EP, but I can't see any roles/folders etc within the portal.
I have been through all of the documents that I have found in SAPHelp on configuring the connection, but have still had no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Are there some permissions that I need to set up on either BW or EP before this will work?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Regards
Richard

Thanks very much for your assistance!!
Deepu:
Thanks for pointing me to the note - that looks like it could be helpful - I need to talk to our basis adminstrator about a couple of things, and he is away for a couple of weeks, so this problem will probably be on hold for a bit now.
Ashwin:
Thanks - I've checked the SSO to BW, and can see all of the BW reports in the BW repository in EP. My personal folders are all set up, but are empty.
I really appreciate your help on this guys. I'll try the changes in the OSS note (but won't be able to do this for a while), and will let you know if it is successful.
Regards
Richard
PS. I'm really sorry, but I don't seem to be able to allocate points for your answers - there are no radio buttons displaying on the screen for some reason - I'll see if I can contact SDN to get this sorted out.

It would be great if you could add a little info about how you solved this issue. Others might run into similar situations - I just did:-(
Thank you:-)

Cannot create dataset from claims based authentication sharepoint site in report builder 3.0

I have a sharepoint site, which is configured as claims based authentication (ref:
http://ashrafhossain.wordpress.com/2011/05/25/how-to-configure-claim-based-authentication-for-sharepoint-project-server-2010/) . both AD and asp.net members can log in to the site successfully. My user need to use the report build to create report
on this sharepoint site. As a result, the site is also integrated with reporting service. I try to create a report in the sharepoint site by clicking "New Document" -> "Report builder Report". The report builder will comes out and ask for credential to
connect to the report server. I use asp.net member to login and it can let me to create a data source which connect to a the list of the sharepoint site with credential option "Use current Windows user. Kerberos delegation might be required". However, when
I try to create a data set and click the query designer, error "Server was unable to process request. ---> Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))" appear as below:
Besides, non of my AD account can be used to login to the report builder. Errors below found in the ULS log:

Hi Foxvito,
Claims authentication types supported by SharePoint 2010 are Windows Claims, forms-based authentication Claims, and SAML Claims. In SAML-Claims mode, SharePoint Server accepts SAML tokens from a trusted external Security Token Provider (TST). From the
blog you referenced, it seems to use the SAML Claims authentication.
However, the Reporting Services client applications: Report Builder, the Report Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio, and Management Studio do not support connecting and authenticating with LiveID or SAML Claims based SharePoint Web applications.
That's because the SAML Claims don't use the Reporting Services authentication endpoint. So, you have to change the Claims authentication type to use Report Builder on the SharePoint site.
