Drill down to a report with a select view

I have a report with a select view on a column... In this column I have coded a navigation to another report that has some details and also has a select view on the same column.
a) The only way to make this work is in the construction, using the view edit screen, the select view, select the option, save it... and then in the criteria, code the navigation.
This had to be done to every option.
b) Since the target report has also a select, whenever you navigate from the original report, the detail report is displayed "as it were", in respect to the select column... The target report is filtered by this column (I am using "is prompted") It would be nice if besides the filtering the select could show the select that comes from the original report... It is not working like this... The user has to select again (column selector) to see it like the original one...
Sorry, it is a bit confusing...but I´d appreciate any help.

I dont think about drill down, but try with navigation using common columns. in this way we can have both side navigations summary-> detail and detail->summary.

LDB/Report Category/Selection view

Hello,
I have a requirement to add a field onto the standard selection of the program PC00_M99_CWTR.
The field I need to add is PA0031-RFP01 (Reference personnel number). Can this be added??
I have been told that I can add this field to the dynamic selection screen by changing the fields
behind the logical database PNP. However, when I go into SE36 and enter the SELECTION VIEWS
option choose PNP and SAP STANDARD to display the system replies with 'The selection view does
not exist' ?????
How can I add fields when I can't see the SAP standard one to copy from.
Or should I be changing the reporting category.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

Thanks Rob.
Just wanted to know if it was possible or not. Sometimes with SAP it says you can do
something to the SAP standard and then you have to go and create a custom copy
having spent many hours in the first place!!

Report categories for selection screen in HR programming

Hi all,
i want to know what report category has to be used for displaying personnel number,personnel area and employee subgroup. you can also suggest me on a report category that coincides with above fields along with other fields. please give me a immediate reply.
Thanks & Regards,
Nanda

Hi Nanda
Why do not use the F4 help for that? You can bind an HR Report Category to a report from its "Attributes" screen. There you can use the F4 list and the description of report categories are more or less says something. There you can also define your own report category.

Not able to view any report in BI Publisher 11g

Hello All
I have installed BI Publisher 11g in Intel Solaris 10. I started of from the scratch, created a Data Model, then created a Report. but now I am not able to view the report. Upon clicking the report name or Open it logs me out.
I am logged in as user, weblogic the default user created while installation.
Please help
Ash

Hi Rony,
You may have created the report initially with Web Layout only - therefore there will no paper layout.
To 'get' the paper layout back, select your Report module name from the Builder and then select Tools-->Report Wizard. Select 'Create both web and Paper Layout' and then go through the various wizard steps.
Best of Luck.

Not able to view EBS report in EXCEL format

I have a requirement to create a report to be output in EXCEL directly. We are currently using EBS 11.5.10.2 , BIP 10.1.3.4.
I did the following
(1) Defined a Report using 6i Report Builder, a simple "Select * from X" report. Added it to an EBS resp and ran the report and got XML output.
(2) With the output in XML format, created a RTF template and also previewed in EXCEL
(3) Defined a Template and Data Definition using "XML Publisher Admin" resp.
(4) Per some web posts, added a Viewer Option "XML, application.vnd-excel, Miscrosoft Excel" thru System Administrator.
(5) Now when I submit the report with default option to EXCEL, I get a "no data found" error. PDF option works fine.
Any help is appreciated. Thx

Hi Suresh,
Firstly I don't think (4) is needed, as you're output when you choose Format = EXCEL will not be XML, but .xls.
Secondly, where are you seeing "no data found" ?? If is in your report, then is it being executed under the same Responsibility as in (1).

XML Publisher error while viewing a report

I get the following error while viewing a report I have just written using a data template:
The report cannot be rendered because of an error, please contact the administrator.
I am using XML Publisher 562 Enterprise.
The Data template I have loaded is as follows:
<dataTemplate name="FLEETMASTERS" description="Fleet Masters Listing">
     <dataQuery>
          <sqlStatement name="Q1">
               <![CDATA[SELECT fm.fms_id, fm.reg_no, fm.vsn, fm.vin
                 FROM fleet_masters fm
                 WHERE rownum <= 100]]>
          </sqlStatement>
     </dataQuery>
</dataTemplate>
The rtf template loaded is simply
Fms Id     Reg No     Vin
F FMS_ID REG_NO VIN E
If I use a Data Model using a SQL Query and type in above select statement, it works fine. The moment I use a Data Template I get the error mentioned above.
A dump of the error in the log is

Thank you

Okay some more information:
If I change the data template to this
<dataTemplate name="FLEETMASTERS" description="Fleet Masters Listing">
     <dataQuery>
          <sqlStatement name="Q1">
               <![CDATA[SELECT fms.fms_id FMS_ID, fm.reg_no REG_NO , fm.vin VIN
                 FROM fleet_masters fm
                 WHERE fm.fms_id BETWEEN 55531 and 55620 ]]>
          </sqlStatement>
     </dataQuery>
</dataTemplate>
I only get the titles being printed but no errors i.e the select does not seem to retrieve data from the database(85 records in database). If I remove the where clause I get the same titles as per the template with no data(49089 records in Database).
Layout of template
Fms Id Reg No Vin
Now it begs the question, is XML Publisher finicky about the syntaxes you can use inside the "sqlStatement" clause?
I have to say that this is really frustrating as I have had no successes using Data Templates

How to allow normal/regular users to view a report

I have been compiling reports in MS SQL 2012 Reporting Services. the URLs is
http://test_report:80/reports. I have no problem with viewing the reports because I am an admin but normal users are getting access denied. this is how I assign permission to user. Open Reporting Services
Config Mnger --> Connect --> Click on Report Mnger URL --> click on
http://test_report:80/reports --> Open a another folder called Reports. In this "Reports" it has many reports. --> Click on Folder Settings --> Click on Security --> Click on "New Role Assignment" -->
In "Group or user name" text box, I entered user network computer login name, such as: domain_name\bambi --> Ensure "Browser" is checked --> Ok. I send this weblink to users but they cannot open it because of either access denied
or not have permission.
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fCorp_Reports%2fReportOfTimeInLieu. I am unsure why users cannot view my reports. Please let me know if I had missed any step(s). I use the Report Builders in Reporting Services
Config Mnger to compile reports. Regards,

so this web link will lead me to Home page:
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx.
at the home page I have folder called Reports:
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports&ViewMode=List
inside Reports folder, I have multiple reports, ie:
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports%2fReportOfTimeInLieu,
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports%2fReportOfVacationTime,
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports%2fReportOfSickDays,
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports%2fReportOfConferenceDays
On Home page I click on Folder Settings --> Security --> New Role Assignment --> Group or User name: domainname\bambi --> Role = Browser
On Home page I click on Site Settings --> Security --> New Role Assignment -> Group or User name: domainname\bambi --> Role = System User
On Home page I open Reports folder --> Site Settings --> Security --> new Role Assignment --> Group or User name: domainname\bambi --> Role = System User
Is this how I enable user bambi to 1) enable to open Reports folder and also browse for reports in Reports folder 2) enable user bambi to execute all reports in Reports folder.
Problem: user bambi was able to open Reports folder and see all reports saved in it; however, bambi gets a blank page upon selecting a report and open/run it. bambi should see company logo and report name. It was a blank white page.
What did I do incorrectly?
Thanks,

SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and service packs.

SSRS 2008 R2 is extremely slow. The query runs in less than a second in the dataset designer but if you try to view the report it takes over 10 minutes. I have read this is a bug in SSRS 2008 R2. We installed the most recent patches and
service packs. Nothing we've done so far has fixed it and I see that I'm not the only person with this problem. However I don't see any answers either.

Hi Kim Sharp,
According to your description that when you view the report it is extremely slow in SSRS 2008 R2 but it is very fast when execute the query in dataset designer, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can‘t reproduce the issue. Obviously, it is the performance issue, rendering performance can be affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount
of data in a report, design of the report, and output format. If you have parameters in your report which contains many values in the list, the bad performance as you mentioned is an known issue on 2008 R2 and already have the hotfix:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2276203
Any issue after applying the update, I recommend you that submit a feedback at https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/
If you don’t have, you can do some action to improve the performance when designing the report. Because how you create and update reports affects how fast the report renders.
Actually, the Report Server ExecutionLog2 view contains reports performance data. You could make use of below query to see where the report processing time is being spent:
After you determine whether the delay time is in data retrieval, report processing, or report rendering:
use ReportServer
SELECT TOP 10 ReportPath,parameters,
TimeDataRetrieval + TimeProcessing + TimeRendering as [total time],
TimeDataRetrieval, TimeProcessing, TimeRendering,
ByteCount, [RowCount],Source, AdditionalInfo
FROM ExecutionLog2
ORDER BY Timestart DESC
Use below methods to help troubleshoot issues according to the above query result :
Troubleshooting Reports: Report Performance
Besides this, you could also follow these articles for more information about this issue:

How to View User Report

I had created a query and created the report by clicking create report button. But i am not aware how to view the report. I am unable to find appropriate menu item to view the user report.
Kindly Help me.
Farhan

Hi Wadood,
To view a already set-up report in the defined query layout, you need to open up query manager, select the report (do not double click - just highlight!) and then click on the print preview button.
Hope this helps.

Regarding selection view in ldb KDF

Hello All,
In logical db KDF when i go to selection view i can see three function groups ie vendor master companycode and documents with their respective ids.
But when i execute report related with this logical database like tcode f.42 adn fbl1n i can see only two options in dynamic selections ie vendor master and company code where as documents option is missing
How can i get documents options back in the report or is there any program to regenerate these dynamic selections
Thanks
SUnny

Hi Suny,
When I run the T-code FBL1N at my place and click on Dynamic selections button,what I see that there are all the three options--Vendor Master,Company Code and Documents available.
You need to observe that against Vendor number there is no input box available but all the fields available under it till Company Code belong to Vendor Master.Similarly,all the fields mentioned under Comaony Code belong to Company Code and likewise all the fields mentioned under Documents like Special G/L Indicator,Assignment,Document number etc. belong to Document.
In case you have any further clarifications,do let me know.

Puneet Jhari.

AT SELECTION-SCREEN stops report

Hello,
I run a report using the AT SELECTION-SCREEN stmt.
Below AT SELECTION-SCREEN is an IF ... ELSE block. Within that block the report checks, whether the user input (made in a SELECT-OPTIONS) complies some requirements.
I check for example, if that what the user types in matches a defined string...
But if i use an AT SELECTION-SCREEN, the report does not continue after execution after that!
It returns to the selction screen...
How can I achieve, that the report continues with execution...?
Thx,
holger

Hi Holger,
1. This is the default behaviour.
2. For report purpose execution,
   the event is
   START-OF-SELECTION ( and not at selection-screen)
3. However u CAN ACHIEVE this by :
   after all validations , use the syntax
   LEAVE TO LIST-PROCESSING.
4. I tried the same at my end,
   its working fine.
5. However, if u use step 3,
   there will be a problem :
   after the execution of report,
it wil get HANG. ie. it won't then
get back using the toolbar buttons.
U may try it for yourself.
6. Bottom line is:
   use
START-OF-SELECTION (FOR FINAL EXECUTION OF THE REPORT)

Amit M.

You can view the report business area wise, extract the report and go to dynamic selection and selection business area. When the report is display just sub total on business area. System is showing report as per your requirement.

MSS - selection list in Reporting Tool

Hi experts,
