Report Automation - How to?

How can I automate reports to be sent to someone else. This would be a report that would need to be run about 3 times per day, at different times. I'd like for the reports to be set up to run at the given times, exported to excel and then emailed to the other person. Any assistance on the process overview and required script is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi Karthick_Arp. Thanks so much for the quick response. I guess that I should've mentioned that I am not only brand new to Oracle but also to databases. I have very basic knowledge of SQL and just started learning PL/SQL a week ago. If possible could you please elaborate with more detail? It would be a huge help.
I did already understand that I had to 1) run a query for the data that I'd like and 2) export it to excel and then 3) email it. But what I'm wondering is how to get the database to do this for me automatically. Is it possible to write a script that will run a report three times per day at a given time, export it to excel and then email it automatically for me as opposed to doing this manually? Your help is much appreciated.
1) run a query for the data that I'd like: > Now you can schedule the PL/SQL code using DBMS_SCHEDULER > Does the DBMS_SCHEDULER schedule the script to be run?
2) how can I get the db to auto export to excel? Is it possible?
3) How can I get the db to auto email the excel file? Is it possible?
Any help as to how this script should be written (or even a sample script) would be great. I already picked up a PL/SQL book and also a learning video. I already have a general understanding on how to write a basic block but am still a newbie so the help for a newbie would be immensely helpful.
Thank you again.

Hi,
Based on the description, I understand that you want to add subreport in the main report. When previewing the main report, the subreport can be shown in detail. Please see the screenshots on my test:
In Reporting Services, we can create parameters and pass them from main report to subreport in order to control the data dynamically.

Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
Host we need more details:
What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

Report Painter: How to change the order of lines in selection screen

Dear Gurus on Report Painter,
how can I change the order of the lines (where the values for the variable selection of my cost center report are entered) in the selection screen of a report painter report? The Selection screen looks awful.
Is there also a possibility to add another description to each line of the selection screen?
Thank you very much for your advice.
Best regards Timo

I am afraid you have much choice in choosing the order of the selection parameters. However, with the developer's access you may.
This is how!
Step 1: If it is a standard report, copy to your own report. and assign it to a report group. and execute.
Step 2: When you execute, and the selection appears, go to systems>status and here , copy the program name (it may look something like GP46LP6VEDORBSA2IHWYSR4TL58020)
Step3: Go to SE38 and enter the above derived program name with a view to re-arrange the line withing the program, with reference to selection parameters.
For example: I have a selection screen in the following order:
Controlling area
Fiscal Year
From period
To period
Plan version
Cost center group
Or value(s)
Cost element group
Or value(s)
The corresponding program that drives this order is in the program and would look like this,
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK VALUE_SELECTION
 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-003.
 PARAMETERS: $1KOKRE LIKE CCR1S-KOKRS .
PARAMETERS: %1KOKRE LIKE CCR1S-KOKRS MODIF ID IN4.
 for controlling area
PARAMETERS: $1GJAHR LIKE COSP-GJAHR .
PARAMETERS: %1GJAHR LIKE COSP-GJAHR MODIF ID IN4.
 for fiscal year
PARAMETERS: $1PERIV LIKE COSP-PERBL .
PARAMETERS: %1PERIV LIKE COSP-PERBL MODIF ID IN4.
 for period from
PARAMETERS: $1PERIB LIKE COSP-PERBL .
PARAMETERS: %1PERIB LIKE COSP-PERBL MODIF ID IN4.
 for period to
etc.
PARAMETERS: $1VERP LIKE COSP-VERSN .
PARAMETERS: %1VERP LIKE COSP-VERSN MODIF ID IN4.
PARAMETERS: $1VALUTP LIKE CCR1S-VALUTYP MODIF ID IN4 .
PARAMETERS: %1VALUTP LIKE CCR1S-VALUTYP MODIF ID IN4.
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK VALUE_SELECTION.
......... set variables ..............................................
SELECTION-SCREEN BEGIN OF BLOCK SET_SELECTION
 WITH FRAME TITLE TEXT-004.
PARAMETERS: $1KOSET LIKE RKSB1-KSGRU.
PARAMETERS: %1KOSET LIKE RGSBS-SETNR MODIF ID IN5.
SELECT-OPTIONS _1KOSET FOR CCR1S-KOSTL .
PARAMETERS: $1KSTAR LIKE RKSB1-KAGRU.
PARAMETERS: %1KSTAR LIKE RGSBS-SETNR MODIF ID IN5.
SELECT-OPTIONS _1KSTAR FOR CCR1Z-KSTAR .
SELECTION-SCREEN END OF BLOCK SET_SELECTION.
If you want fiscal year to appear first, you try just copying the coding relating to fiscal year just above the coding for Controlling area.
Extend the same logic for what you may want to get.

In SAP 4.6c In classical reports output how to change Font size and Font type

Dear Experts,
In SAP 4.6c, in classical and interactive reports output how to change font size and font type.
Regards,
Zaker.

These are HTML formatting questions. Nothing to do with the Oracle SQL and PL/SQL languages.
With old-style HTML, the font size and family are set using the font tag.
With modern style HTML, that is done using cascading style sheets (CSS).
Your favourite search engine will turn up tons of information on both.

4 tables in 1 report. How can I do that?

I have 4 tables (4 selects) and I need place in one report.
How can I do that?

select t1.field1, t1.field2, .. t1.fieldn, t1_idenifier "t1"
from table 1
where
union
select t2.field1, t2.field2, .. t2.fieldn, t2_idenifier "t"
from table 2
where
select t3.field1, t3.field2, .. t3.fieldn, t3_idenifier "t3"
from table 3
union
select t4.field1, t4.field2, .. t4.fieldn, t4.t_idenifier "t4"
from table 4
Then, in Crystal Reports, create formulas
total1 where it is a summary of all the values where t1.t_identifier = "t1"
total2 where it is a summary of all the values where t2.t_identifier = "t2"
etc.
This is simplified, of course. You need to make sure that the values held in each fieldn contain the same field for each value of n (IE, field1 for each table must be, say, the id; field2 for each table must be, say, the cost, etc). Where there is no matching field across tables, you'll need to
set the values to null or a blank (or whatever) in the ones that don't have a corresponding field. It's cumbersome, but it's faster processing and makes things a lot simpler on the CR side.

RRMX opens a default report. How to change this setting ?????

Hi all,
If we type RRMX transaction code, it should go to BEx, but user has reported that whenever he types RRMX it opens a particular REPORT. How can we change this setting so that the default report will not be opened, PLEASE ? It seems it started after upgrading to BW 3.5.
Thanks.

Rian,
Thanks for your response. I have created a TEST User Id with the User Id that has the problem. I am not getting any default report with the TEST User Id when I type RRMX, just it goes to BEx (blank) only, but not to the report.
I have followed your navigation steps (Business Explorer Tab/Setting/ New Workbook on embed) with TEST User Id and 'is based on permanent template' is checked' under 'New Workbook on embed', but not 'is empty'.
I will go to the User's desk tomorrow and check the BEx settings on his PC.
Thanks.

I installed the latest version of Firefox last night. It worked 3-4 times flawlessly. Now, it crashes at startup and gives me a box with crash detail report. How can I fix this?

I have a brand new HP dv8t laptop that is straight from the manufacturer 2 days ago.
Last night, I attempted to download and installed the latest version of Firefox. After installing, it worked great for an hour or so (3.4 different sessions).
Then, this morning when I came back to the computer, Firefox crashes at startup and gives me the option of finding a solution online or quitting the program.
How aggravating!
I have installed this same version on 2 other computers that I own, without any issue.
I have attempted to uninstall Firefox from the dv8 and reinstalling, to no avail.
I cannot find the crash report, but I do this see this message once the app crashes:

Please help! I cant stand iE anymore and I'm so lost without Firefox!

You might try using the add-on 'NoSquint' which allows numerous zoom options specific to each page you visit & keeps your settings - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you want to go back to 3.6x, you will find it here:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
In most cases you can simply "upgrade" (meaning downgrade) directly from the installation. It would be a good idea to save your passwords & bookmarks just to be on the safe side.

Automator - How do I: Mouse Click, Move Windows, and more

Hello,
I am attempting to create my own Automator programs and for a while I had some that worked nicely. I have recently been tweaking my iMac so that it can "think" on its own (by automator of course) and do things for me. However, I've run across a block with Mavericks (I believe it's due to Mavericks).
1. How can I get Automator to register a mouse click? "Watch me do" does not seem to want to work for me at all. I also would prefer if it would just be a registered mouse click, but not actually use the mouse (I know this is possible) so that if I'm doing something and it runs, it won't disturb my mouse and I can keep working.
2. How can I register a keyboard stroke? Same as above
3. How can I have automator move windows? I have two monitors and there are times when I may want it to move a window from one mintor to another
The following is a list of all the things I'm attempting to accomplish at the moment (with other things when I think of them) with automator (either through applications, folder actions, or ical actions):
1. Register a mouse click at a given area or on a given element in a safari page
2. Register a keyboard stroke in a given program (be able to focus on a program and then do the keystroke)
3. Move windows from one location to another
4. Full-screen and Un-full-screen iTunes at certain times of day
5. Download all purchased items on iTunes that aren't on the computer (sometimes iTunes doesn't download stuff if it was downloaded on my MacBook Pro first)
6. Automatically voice read reminders (that I've set in Reminders) each day at a given time (I can use loop to repeat it to make sure I hear it all)
I'll think of more of course, but the mouse click, keyboard stroke, and moving windows is the big thing I'm trying to figure out how to do. Can anyone help?
Also, I am not a computer tech. I am tinkering with this because it's fun and helpful, but an answer of "just use applescript" or "just use java" will likely just give me a headache. I know that it's going to be one of those codes, but I'm hoping someone has a "base" code that can be copied and pasted that's just a standard click that I can adjust for where I need to click and what process I need to click on.
If there is an Action Pack that includes a "Register Mouse Click" and/or "Register Keyboard Stroke", then that would work great, but the only action packs for automator I've seen that work with Mavericks is for photoshop.

You're asking for a lot in one post. It would be better to break your requests down a bit.
For example, to deal with mouse clicks, you can use the Automator Action Run Shell Script with this python script:
import sys
import time
from Quartz.CoreGraphics import *
def mouseEvent(type, posx, posy):
        theEvent = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(None, type, (posx,posy), kCGMouseButtonLeft)
        CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, theEvent)
def mousemove(posx,posy):
        mouseEvent(kCGEventMouseMoved, posx,posy);
def mouseclick(posx,posy):
        mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDown, posx,posy);
        mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseUp, posx,posy);
ourEvent = CGEventCreate(None);
# Save current mouse position
currentpos=CGEventGetLocation(ourEvent);
# Click the "Apple"
mouseclick(25, 5);
# 1 second delay
time.sleep(1);
# Restore mouse position
mousemove(int(currentpos.x),int(currentpos.y))
It will look like this in Automator:
To drag something (i.e. a window, a file icon) from position 40,60 to 60,300:
import time
from Quartz.CoreGraphics import *
def mouseEvent(type, posx, posy):
           theEvent = CGEventCreateMouseEvent(None, type, (posx,posy), kCGMouseButtonLeft)
           CGEventPost(kCGHIDEventTap, theEvent)
def mousemove(posx,posy):
           mouseEvent(kCGEventMouseMoved, posx,posy);
def mouseclickdn(posx,posy):
           mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDown, posx,posy);
def mouseclickup(posx,posy):
           mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseUp, posx,posy);
def mousedrag(posx,posy):
           mouseEvent(kCGEventLeftMouseDragged, posx,posy);
ourEvent = CGEventCreate(None);
# Save current mouse position
currentpos=CGEventGetLocation(ourEvent);
# move mouse to upper left of screen
mouseclickdn(40, 60);
# drag icon to new location
mousedrag(60, 300);
# release mouse
mouseclickup(60, 300);
# necessary delay
time.sleep(1);
# return mouse to start positon
mouseclickdn(int(currentpos.x),int(currentpos.y));
For keystokes in AppleScript (which can be added to Automator with the Run Applescript Action) see: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/keycodes.php

Report Painter - How to identity statistical orders in a Cost Center Report

Hello,
currently I am in the process of building a cost center report based on reporting tabel CCSS.
This report should list all primary and secondary costs which are charged to a specific cost center/cost center group .
The cost center or cost center group is given in the general data selection.
All direct primary cost postings are identified in rows like this:
- Cost Element (SET): cost element group A1, A2,...Axx
- Business Transaction Type: COIN
All primary cost postings deriving from (real) internal orders are identified like this:
- Cost Element: 1 to 9999999999
- Business Transaction: KOAO
- Partner object number: 0 to 99999999
Now here is the problem:
The controlling department requests to identify all primary cost postings to the given cost center which have been postet to a statistical internal order at the same time. The most part of the primary costs have been directly postet to the cost center in the Additioanal Account Assignments. But some have been posted to the cost center and at the same time to a statistical internal order.
Looking into BSEG I can quickly identify these line items as they have a value in BSEG-KOSTL and BSEG-AUFNR.
How can I select these items in a report painter report?
I would like to separate all items whith connection to statistical int. orders from those with no connection to internal ordes.
Thanks for your help!

Dear Elli,
Dear SAP-Gurus,
once again, thank you for your quick reply.
You hints and remarks are very much appeciated.
My problem seems to be slightly more complicated than what I had expected.
All postings to the cost center/cost center group are actual postings. The cost center is the "real" cost element, there are no postings of value type 11 here.
Most postings have the cost center as the only cost element, but others additionally mention a statistical order.
My goal is to seperate those postings to the cost center [as (real) cost element] plus the statistical order from those with only the cost center.
I would also like to sort these postings by the order number.
I could easily write two reports:
One for the cost center and another one only for the statistical orders. The latter would use value type parameter 11 (as you proposed!). Unfortunately, I do not know all order numbers tied to the cost center. As table BSEG is not suitable for SAP Query, I run into deep problems here.
I know I have problem in the design of my report here and I would like to sort out, which options I have.
Is Report Painter a suitable tool for me here anyway?
Thanks again!
Karsten
