Publishing BEx Reports as PDF or Excel Format into a Folder

Hi,
     Current Environment: BW 3.5; Portal:None
    We are currently broadcasting BEx Reports (BW 3.5).
a) Is there a way in which we can publish these reports into a Network directory or a folder of an application server either in the Excel format or PDF Format?
Solutions looked at:
---RSRT allows us to publish in .txt file. There is some amount of work involved in getting it converted into a PDF Format.
--Looked at the solution for the development of wrapper class for Adobe Document services.
    Are there any other solutions? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanking in advance.

Hi,
Here we have a scenario where we are using BO(Business Objects) reports.
All the roports sent to Users and are saved at the local directories.
At the back end BO reports use the BEx query output.
All the reports are scheduled and are fetching data from BW system after the data load completes.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Tulasi

SOAP Messaging Using Crystal Reports Web Services To Return Report in PDF or Excel Format

All,
I am trying to use SOAP messaging to fetch a Crystal Report through a Managed repository and getting back either a PDF or Excel file. For some reason, any reference to web services on this site I cannot access. Like thread, "Using Web Services on the Crystal Report Server XI to return reports". Can anyone point in a direction to Web Service Calls API documentation or does this not exist ?????? I would hope this product has this capability.
Thanks In Advance,
Tom

XI Release 2 Service Pack 2 introduced the Business Process BI Web Services, that allow you to retrieve reports using SOAP messaging.
It's documented here:

Pdf reports to run in excel format

I have a report and output is in pdf format. Some users want the report to run in excel format for them to make changes and do mail merging. How can I acomplish this. I have reports 10g
Thanks in advance
Anu

Use DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048.pdf
Page A-33
(Command line only) The report output is sent to an HTML file that
can be directly opened with Microsoft Excel 2000. You can generate
spreadsheet output from the paper layout of reports saved in any
format (.rdf, .jsp, .xml). See Usage Notes.
Page A-34
When DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET, the report output preserves the rich layout
formatting such as colors, fonts, conditional formatting, graphs, and images. For
detailed information about how different report objects are generated in a report
run to DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET, see "About Spreadsheet Output" in the Oracle
Reports online Help (and also in the "Advanced Concepts" chapter in the Oracle
Reports Building Reports manual).

How can we create a plugin for Acrobat reader to convert a Pdf to Excel format?

Hi all,
I need to convert a pdf to excel format ! is it possible by a plugin in acrobat reader.
I know that it can be done with Acrobat Professional and i have to do the same with the Acrobat Reader?
Does the Acrobat Reader support file conversion plugins?
Sreejesh K V

Hi,
I don't know if Reader supports the onversion but you can easily check that : open an Excel file with Reader and check the result.
With Acrobat Pro when you open a document using Acrobat then it's automatically converted. If this functionality is supported with Reader you will have the same behavior.
Once it's supported you just have to open your document using Acrobat.exe (or Reader.Exe)
My mistake I understood the opposite. To check that Acrobat Reader support the conversion you just have to check in the Reader interface.

Joe

Upload a file of Excel Format into Internal Table!!!

Dear All,
Currently i have a question for upload a file of excel format, I can just convert the file of excel format to text format first. Then it would be OK.
As we all know, Frequently,The users would always like to provide the excel format to us. Thus, Is there any solutions directly uploaded the file of Excel format into database for web dynpro for ABAP? Not web dynpro for Java.
Appreciated what you reply!
Thanks in advance.

XML Publisher report default output in Excel format.

Hi,
We have defined one concurrent program whose output format is text, this concurrent program executable is PL/SQL and in this PL/SQL program we are generating XML data and displaying XML using below fnd_request.
l_conc_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('GMP','GMPPDROP','', '',FALSE,
p_sequence_num,chr(0),'','','','','','','','','','','',
We have also defined template for this.
Using below fnd_request we are choosing template and data is getting generated in PDF format. Now our requirement is to display the output by default in Excel format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','',scale_report,'','','','','',
When i saw XML Report Publisher concurrent program, there is one parameter for Output Format and i tried passing 'Excel'/EXCEL/excel to this parameter but output is still coming in PDF format.
FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO','XDOREPPB','', '',FALSE,'',
l_conc_id,554,G_comb_pdr_temp,
G_comb_pdr_locale,'Y','RTF','Excel',scale_report,'','','','','',
I have also tried giving Default Output to EXCEL in template definition but this is also not working.
Your valuable suggestions highly appreciated.
Thanks
Vijay

Issues while saving the Webi Report locally in pdf and Excel Format

Hi,
I am getting issues with the images on a Webi Report when I try to save the reports locally on my machine in either a pdf format or in an Excel Format.
I think the issue is that when I am trying to save the report it saves the address of the image binded in the report but it doesn't save the image/download the image and when the report is opened locally it couldn't refer to the image location.
I am using BOXIR2 with SP2.8.
I am not sure what should be the right solution for this. Any insight or resolution will definitely be helpful.

Hi;
I would investigate on the load balancer and/or Apache front end servers, are you sure you don't have a keep alive setting enabled somewhere on one of these servers? in the Tomcat connector maybe?

Send ALV report as attachment in EXCEL format

Hi SAP Guru,
I had a report output as ALV format.
Currently, when the background job ended, it would be send out to the recipent thru SAPconnect as PDF format using internet mailing address.
I tried to search for a configuraiton for EXCEL output but there don;t seems to be any option availble.
I can only choose from PDF/TEXT/HTM/PS in the output document type selection in SOST.
How can I configure to allow the system to send out the ALV report to my recipent in EXCEL format instead of PDF or HTML?
Thanks

Hi,
By Using OOPS Concept you can send ALV Output as Excel Format by using Class Interface: CL_BCS.
Do some search on CL_BCS.
There are some demo Program, sreach for BCS* on SE38.

SAP ALV report scheduling background in excel format

Hi Gurus,

I am waiting for your reply.
Advance Thanks
Nirmal

"Something" has to do the conversion to excel, it will not work without programming.
If you display a grid the data is sent via OLE to the frontend where excel is started and displaying the data. If you run a program in the background there is no terminal connection and hence no excel and hence no conversion.
What you can do is that you display the data as raw data and send it as attachment - but then people need to import and convert themselves.

Exporting report as PDF and CSV formats same time with out executing DB query twice

Post Author: cpriyanka
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal Report 9.0 version and Java.
I am getting "PrintOutputController" from "ReportClientDocument"
And then by calling export(ReportExportFormat.PDF) generating PDF format report.
Now I need to generate both PDF and CSV format files same time. How can it be done?
My understanding is when we call "export" it does the DB query execution and other functionality.
In that case, if I call "export" two times with two different formats, then DB query will be executed twice and that takes lot of time.
To avoid, is there a way I can all some API so DB query executed once, but I can export report in to multiple formats?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Are you using the "pull" or "push" method for your crystal reports? If you are using the "pull" method (the report itself executes the sql) then I believe there is no way around having the query execute twice since it is fired off each time you open and export the report.
If you use the "push" method, however, then you can just create the recordset/dataset and then set the datasouce once for the report.
Here's a broad overview of push and pull though the Crystal Report Viewer is used. The viewer may or may not be applicable in your case:

Cannot Convert PDF to Excel Format (.xlsx)...

For over a week, I've been unable to convert a PDF to .xlsx Excel format; after considerable wheel spinning, I get "An error occurred while signing in." Working with support, I uninstalled/reinstalled Adobe Reader; the support tech reset all the preferences, all to no avail. I'm on a Mac under OS 10.9.5.
My case number with them is 186473209; it's been advanced to a higher support level.
Today, I had a friend attempt the conversion on his Mac, which is running Yosemite. He logged on with my info and was able to effect the conversion.
Could that be the solution, or might there be something else going on with my Mac that's causing the problem?

Thanks, Sara. I have attempted to effect conversion using other browsers,
including with Firefox, clearing all caches etc. The reason I tested with
Maxthon is that I didn't mind clearing it as well. Here's what I just sent
to Rahul:
I thought I told you that I have attempted the conversion using four different
browsers, all with the same failed result. These were Chrome, my default
browser, Firefox, Safari, and Maxthon. Per an Adobe techie's recommendation, I
cleared ALL cache and history as a test in both Firefox and Maxthon.
As I also told you, although I eventually get logged in, it takes inordinately
long to do so. When I select to begin the converting process, I get stuck at
this window with the "Continue" button grayed out; can only "Cancel."
Maybe I neglected to tell you that my friend is running Yosemite while I'm
still on Mavericks. A technician at Adobe told me that they think that may be
the issue.
