QPLD Template and Report Question

I have learned that after creating a Query, I choose a Template (original or a user edited one) and create a Report. Then if I Click on the Report, I can now print or preview. To my surprise I also clicked on the Template and then Printed/Preview and I also obtained a result and this was unexpected. What is the Template running, is it the same as the Report? If yes, why do we need the Report?
I find the QPLD a bit confusing despite the training I have done. Any tips how to improve my understanding of this facility?
Thanks a lot
Robert

Hi Suda
This Question is a bit different from my previous points but it relates to my attempt to create a Label layout. so the position now is a s follows. Taken the various tips I have received, I was able to create a modified Template with my Address details in the Repetitive Area0 of the Template. I was surprised to see that I can print out all the records from the B/P table by clicking once on the Template and then go to print. This printed out correctly the Records but without taking into account the full Query.
Next I tried to print out the Report which was created on the basis of the correct template but this did not work and I am getting an INTERNAL ERROR message. I cannot see why and therefore i am trying to understand the difference between the two ways of printing.
I have noticed that in the Report Layout some fileds are Duplicated both in the repetitive Area0 and repetitive Area1. I also see that the Report Layout contains some added Fileds that contain the Query.
thanks
Robert

BPC 7.0 MS upgrade - EVDRE:OK not displaying in templates and reports

Hello again,
A strange behaviour in EVDRE templates and reports is noticed:
Version - BPC 7.0 MS
EVDRE templates and reports (built in 5.1, working fine) are migrated along with the appset in BPC 7.0.
Found that the EXPANDALL doesn't work neither shows error or hangs. But the reports are refreshed for CV selection.
While checking the control panel, noticed that the 'EVDRE:OK' is missing, cell is blank/ orange shaded, No EVDRE errors.
This applies for the sample EVDRE templates as well as complex reports with multiple EVDREs.
If we logout and re-launch the BPC Excel / Reports again, it is working as usual.
The occurance of this behaviour is quite frequent or we missing any setting.
Does anybody encountered this and throw some light to troubleshoot.
Thanks.
Warm Regards
Uma

Hi Wellington,
Have tried those options.. its unstable behaviour.
Noticed that this issue happen only when we switch over to multiple BPC enviroments. Working on DEV - Excel templates and switch over the QA or PRD environment with the same template open...
The issue happens.. EVDRE:OK doesn't show, in the cell A1, click F2 , we can see this formula =EVDRE($B$57,A6:B13,A19:B25) and hitting ENTER , responds nothing. A1 cell is blank.
WorkAround :: I shut down EXCEL, relaunch again.
I have experienced this only in BPC 7.0.112, earlier 5.X no issues.
Experts,
Please confirm whether this is a product bug.

Inventory and reports question

We are wanting to use the inventory and reports piece to help keep
track of
licensing. After doing an inventory the report shows every .exe and
every
version that was ever installed it seems. Some of the programs that
show up
are no longer installed or they have the executable but never ran it.
So we
look at it and say user x has this installed when they might not have
it
installed. Is there a way to JUST get what is actually installed? I
have
not used ART or Crystal reports, but I would think they would just
help
organize the information that Zen supplies, so I would think that ZEN
would
have to be able to differentiate between what is installed and what is
no
longer installed, not the report tools. Am I wrong? Will Crystal or
ART be
able to seperate this info, or is there anything else that will help
without having to use a totally different inventory program. Any input
is
appreciated.

We are having a similar problem. Often, even if the software has been
uninstalled, it still appears on the computer's inventory. Another
problem we have found is that the Zenworks inventory does not always report the version actually being run on the computer. For example,
we
were specifically trying to find out what versions of CorelDRAW we are
using, but we came up with multiple computers running CorelDRAW
version
1.0. Obviously we are not using version 1.0 on any of our computers,
but
no other copy of CorelDRAW was listed as being installed on those
computers. We're preparing to do a physical inventory of these
computers
to find out what's actually there, but do you have any suggestions for
remedying this problem from the remote side of things?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Sincerely,
Jenny Martens

Forms and report questions

Hi,
I am facing 2 issues now related to forms and reports
I am using forms 10.1.2.3
We have an old form developed a few years back and it used to work with the old application server.
But when we migrated to vista, the application server port is changed and hence the URL
Now the first issue:
1)When running a report from the form (After giving some values in the form, a button is pressed to run the report), it is returning an error:
FRM-41213:Unable to conenct to the Report server "Myrepserver"
So in the assumption that the server name must have been hard-coded in the form, and hoping to change it to the new server name,
I checked the when-button-trigger code in the form, but now I am unable to figure out where (which part in the form) the server name is defined.
Need help in this one first:
The code in the when-button-trigger is as shown below:
DECLARE
     plid paramlist;
     the_param varchar2(15) := 'tmpdata';
     v_process varchar2(10);
BEGIN
     If (:RADIO_GROUP31 in('ROD_REP','RSLB_REP','GEO_IMP','LBL_IMP')
                   And :FILENAME4 IS NULL ) Then
                   Message('A Filename is required to run the selected report');
                   Raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
Elsif (:RADIO_GROUP31 in('OPT_RUN','SDF_RUN')
                   And :DELIVERY_OFFICE_ID4 IS NULL ) Then
                   Message('A Delivery Office Id is required to run the selected report');
                   Raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
End If;
v_process := :RADIO_GROUP31;
     BEGIN
          plid := get_parameter_list(the_param);
     IF NOT id_null(plid) THEN
          destroy_parameter_list(plid);
     END IF;
     plid := create_parameter_list(the_param);
     add_parameter(plid, 'delivery_office_id', TEXT_PARAMETER,:DELIVERY_OFFICE_ID4);
     add_parameter(plid, 'filename', TEXT_PARAMETER,:FILENAME4);
     add_parameter(plid, 'p_opt_batch_id', TEXT_PARAMETER,:OPT_BATCH_ID);
     add_parameter(plid, 'p_sum_det', TEXT_PARAMETER,:SUM_DET_PB);
     add_parameter(plid, 'process', TEXT_PARAMETER,v_process);
     add_Parameter(plid, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
     run_product(REPORTS,'approcrep.rdf',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,plid,null );
     END;
END; 2)I am using a Windows Vista machine and using Sun's plugin JRE5 update 16 in my machine to run the forms through my browser(IE7)
It works fine when connecting to my applicatioon server
For example,
http://the_app_server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=testapp
works fine
But when I try to run the form locally using the form builder:
I have defined in Edit->Preferences (Under runtime tab), the application server URL,like this:
http://<my local computer name>:8889/forms/frmservlet
When trying to run , it asks me to install Jinitiator
why is this?
I even tried installing it but when starting the applet, the IE crashes and closes.
With these conditions, how will I figure out why the report is not running?
I am not able to debug as well because I am unable to run the form.

hi gregor13, Thanks a lot for the second suggestion, it worked and I am able to run the form locally now
For the first suggestion, you are right, this is what caused the issue.
But I am still not able to do the report successfully..I am able to open the report but no data appears..
I have defined a parameter list called plid
In the original run_product built in, this parameter list was passed.
Please let me know how can I implement this using the web.show_document.
My code is below, which works except no parameter is passed.I need help in this one please.
DECLARE
     plid paramlist;
     the_param varchar2(15) := 'tmpdata';
     v_process varchar2(10);
v_show_document       VARCHAR2 (2000) := '/reports/rwservlet?';
   v_report_server       VARCHAR2 (30)   := 'myservername';
   rep_url varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
     If (:RADIO_GROUP31 in('ROD_REP','RSLB_REP','GEO_IMP','LBL_IMP')
                   And :FILENAME4 IS NULL ) Then
                   Message('A Filename is required to run the selected report');
                   Raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
Elsif (:RADIO_GROUP31 in('OPT_RUN','SDF_RUN')
                   And :DELIVERY_OFFICE_ID4 IS NULL ) Then
                   Message('A Delivery Office Id is required to run the selected report');
                   Raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
End If;
v_process := :RADIO_GROUP31;
     BEGIN
          plid := get_parameter_list(the_param);
     IF NOT id_null(plid) THEN
          destroy_parameter_list(plid);
     END IF;
     plid := create_parameter_list(the_param);
     add_parameter(plid, 'delivery_office_id', TEXT_PARAMETER,:DELIVERY_OFFICE_ID4);
     add_parameter(plid, 'filename', TEXT_PARAMETER,:FILENAME4);
     add_parameter(plid, 'p_opt_batch_id', TEXT_PARAMETER,:OPT_BATCH_ID);
     add_parameter(plid, 'p_sum_det', TEXT_PARAMETER,:SUM_DET_PB);
     add_parameter(plid, 'process', TEXT_PARAMETER,v_process);
     add_Parameter(plid, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
    /*Display report in the browser*/
    v_show_document := v_show_document
         -- Report server
         || '&server='
         || v_report_server

      web.show_document (v_show_document);
END;
END;Note:forms upgrade assistant did not work for me.I was ale to convert the form but again more errors when running
So I have decided to fix this manually

RTF Templates and report file (.xdo)

Hi all,
I use Oracle report and I would like to migrate from that software to Oracle BI Publisher. During my tests, I encountered various problems like the following:
I create my report (.xdo file is generated) in development with one RTF template. I load my template in the report and the system copy the rtf file is the same directory as the .xdo file. Also, the system modify the .xdo file to add a line like:
<templates default="stkcinv">
<template label="stkcinv" type="rtf" url="stkcinv.rtf" outputFormat="html,pdf,rtf"/>
</templates>
When my report and template are ok, I update my customer to install them in production mode. When they are installed, my customer would modify the RTF template so he duplicates the RTF template, modify the file and load it in the report. Now, in the report, I have two lines:
<templates default="stkcinv">
<template label="stkcinv" type="rtf" url="stkcinv.rtf" outputFormat="html,pdf,rtf"/>
<template label="stkcinv2" type="rtf" url="stkcinv2.rtf" outputFormat="html,pdf,rtf"/>
</templates>
For my part, I modify the report in development to add a new value in the datamodel. Then I update another time my customer and erase the standard report by the new.
the problem is that doing that, if I look at the .xdo file, I see that in the <templates> section, I have:
<templates default="stkcinv">
<template label="stkcinv" type="rtf" url="stkcinv.rtf" outputFormat="html,pdf,rtf"/>
</templates>
So the templates loaded in the .xdo file is lost and my customer must reload it in the new report. If my customer has 100 reports, each time I update the soft, he will have to reload all templates... Amazing...
How can I do to avoid that problem ?

Well there appears to be a bug in the RTF generator.
It appears that Oracle want to use paragraph left and right indentation properties to pad text in cells away from cell borders. There is a bug in the rtf reader in word that causes problems if cell padding properties are used so paragraph indentation appears a sensible work round.
By default there appears to be a left hand indentation of 5 applied to all paragraphs in cells. If a left hand cell maring is applied to cells then the left hand cell margin in the report increases in size.
However, right hand cell margins appear to be ignored and NOT written as attributes to cell paragraph text in the the generated report, and this causes problems when trying to print an RTF report as numbers in cells get clipped by cell borders.

UCCX Trigger Range and Reporting Question

Hello Everyone:
I are using a wildcard trigger so that instead of having 30 triggers to one application, I can just leverage that one trigger. That part is working great, however the issue is that when looking at reports we are only seeing the Wildcard Trigger and not the full extension. Specifically we are looking at the Abandoned Call Detail Activity Report. We want to pull out calls for each trigger as each trigger represents a different location. Is there a way to expose the "Original Called Number" field to get this data? That way the called number will be the range it hit, with the Original Called Number field being the specific location. I'm hoping there is a way to get this data, outside of developing a custom report. Any help would be appreciated - Thanks!
Sean

Sean,
You will need to create a custom report for this.

Whats are the Forms and Reports in QM?and what is differece betwwen them?

whats are the Forms and Reports in QM?and what is differece betwwen them?

Hi,
1. Forms are like templates.Forms define the text format and page layout of documents, which can be formatted (in accordance with the definitions) for display on the screen or for output to a printer.
2. Executable program that allows users to read and evaluate data in the database.
You can either display the output of a report on the screen or send it to a printer. You can also save it, so that it can be displayed as often as you like. It is important to be able to do this, because reading large volumes of original data can impair performance.
Examples of reports are ABAP reports, queries, and drilldown reports.
In short, forms are only templates and reports will retrive the data from system in certain format.

Few questions on Templates and Favorites

Experts,
Few fundamental questions on Templates and Favorites...
1) Can Favorites be shared with other users?
2) Can Templates be transported across systems (Dev or QA or PRD) ?
3) Can Templates be shared across planning area ( Yes, KF names are same across planning area?
Any insights appreciated!!!
Thanks
Krishna

Hello Krishna
1. No, favorites are user specific and are not shared. Templates are.
2. There are no transports in the traditional sense in S&OP. So a Template can't really be transported. What you can do, however, is open a Template in DEV, for example, then log off and log back on - just this time to QA or PRD. This assumes you have the same planning area, KF etc.in each system. Now you can add it to the templates in QA or PRD ... this is how you get it from one system to another.
3. I believe they are not shared between planning areas. If you make a planning area copy, I think they might come over but if you built a new PA2 from scratch, the ones you have in PA1 won't be there. If you want to get a planning view template from one PA to another, you basically follow the steps as in my answer to your second question. Again, for sharing a planning view Template between Planning Areas the attributes, time profiel and key figures you use have to be the same.
Hope this helps,
Jens

A question and out CA 'domain controller' templates, and kerbros/KDC in general

Hello All
Can someone please help me with the following question. This may be two questions (so if you think I have to post separately please let me know).
I was reading an MS article called "Active Directory Domain Controllers and Certificate auto-enrolment" which was very helpful but through up some questions too.
for example the article talks about a 'template' called 'Directory E-mail Replication' what is this? in other words we have all heard of MS Exchange for corporate email, but the name of this template seems to suggest 'Domain Controllers' send e-mails to
reach other? (over and above their normal AD replication) or is this template used for sending AD replication data via SMTP rather than RPC (which is something I have never heard of). Can someone please explain the purpose of this template, thanks very much.
Also I want to understand the relationship (if any) between these Domain Controller PKI templates and Kerberos in general (can someone point me to a white paper of good blog article)
For example my understanding at the moment if Kerberos is basically a 'symmetric' key encryption system where by the KDC (Key Distribution Center) take care of administering all these symmetric key pairs, is this basic premise
correct?
I understand (at a very basic level) to concept of Kerberos TGT and TST (ticket granting ticket and ticket service ticket) and the fact the client cannot read the contents of either of these (rather the KDC is the trust anchor and deals with all the encryption
and description of the keys to provide/proof identity authentication, and the client simply presents these tickets)
Hopefully the above is correct (or on the right lines), what I do not understand is how this (Kerberos/KDC) relates to DC's and their 'Domain Controller' templates or how these Domain Controllers use the certificates generated from these templates for encryption
(I presume to encrypt the AD sync traffic, but isn't this done via Kerberos).
Also AD CA is optional component therefore my logic suggests there should be no relation to these Domain Controller templates and Kerberos
As you can see I have some fundermental gaps in my knowleague and would really appreciate someone helping me out here
Thanks very much

Re the template Directory E-mail Replication.
Yes, you are right - these are only used for (optional) AD replication via SMTP, and yes this is rather uncommon. I have only encountered this type of replication in a few environments with very specific - and historically grown - firewall and trust requirements.
Re Kerberos and certificates:
My favorite white paper is this:
Windows Vista Smart Card Infrastructure. See especially the details of how Kerberos is used with smart cards as depicted in Figure 16 and the text below.
When users use smartcards to logon to their computers they authenticate to DCs and DCs authenticate to them. So DCs also need certificates.
See
RFC 4556 for details of how public key cryptography is used to protect the Kerberos protocol.
So in summary certificates are used for authentication and encryption.
You are right that otherwise - if you don't use smart card logon for users - DC certificates are optional and not needed to do default Kerberos authentication.
Another reason DC certificates are often deployed is for allowing LDAP browsers and other management tools to connect to AD via LDAPs.

Difference Between Crystal Report Template and Sub Report

I am not able to get the Report Template Option/menu.
I am working with Visual Studio 2005 , Crystal Report Version 10.2
Do i need to have Crystal Report Server in order to work with Template.
Also i will like to know the diff. between Template and Sub Report?

Hello,
The Report Template Wizard is not part of Crystal in .NET. You need to upgrade to the full version of Crystal Reports.
Template is a base report to work from. Subreport is another report object that can be inserted into a section of the main report.
Thank you
Don

Templates and Passing a Report Name

I need to create a template and have the report name passed on to that template, but I need a bit more detailed of an explanation then the following:
Create a user parameter on the template and then pass the report name to the parameter at run time.

I wish to have the report name sent to the template so that at runtime the report name will show. I have created a parameter for this to be passed to, and put a field in the header of the template to accept the parameter: what I need to know is how do you send the name of the report which exists in the property palette under -Report -General Information - Name node to the field on the template so it shows at runtime.
Thanks

Integrating CP5 Quiz questions with My Own and Reporting ONE SCORE

Science teacher trying to convince my department to move toward paperless testing.
Out of the Box, I find
I've learnt how to use variables and Advanced Actions to create several true/false questions on a single slide and report their scores.
Is it possible to have MYscore variables change the PROJECT score variable?
eg EXPRESSION: "PROJECTSCORE" = v_MyQuestionScores + "PROJECTSCORES"
Am I allowed to mess with the project variables?
Regards
Greg

Normally you cannot change the score via any other method than using a quiz slide or an interactive object.
But now you can use the Interactive Master widget from Infosemantics to take data from user variables and use these as slave objects to override the score assigned to the Master widget, which then gets reported to the quiz.
If you want to try this out, download a free trial widget from here and give it a go.
