Report Designer - Inserting Graphs?
I have seen SAP PowerPoint slides demonstrating the capabilities of Report Designer that contain charts (bar or pie) apparently coming from BEx query data.
Is this possible to insert in the current version? When I insert a dataprovider into a report, it's coming up as a table by default, and I don't see any way to change it to a chart layout.
Thanks!
In SP 12 user can insert Image and Graphic.
To insert image: first we need to store supported (GIF, JPG and JPEG) images in MIME repository then insert image browse throw required image from MIME and click oK.
With the recent SP u have an option to insert image using MIME wizard that would take u directly to the MIME foler and generates a link like for. E.g. bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/Images/images.jpg and image get dipalyed in Report.
Later u can change the Height and width of image.
About inserting Graphic: First insert a graphic item and then select Dataprovider, and Chart type thorough chart editor.
U can have more than one chart from different data provider
Hope this helps
Thanks

Report designer - inserting problem
hi,
we want to use report designer for formatting reports. When we insert
query to report then following error occurs: internal error
ID: E-CREATEFROMQUERY and message: reference to object is not set to
instance of the object. When I go through this errors and execute
this report to web I get this error: Web Item Report error: Tag "band"
with name "footer1": Tag "keyfigure": Nested tag "y" must not
be empty. Have you any solution for this problem?
ThanxHi,
I mean frontend SP 12 (is already released). You can stay on your SPS in ABAP, Java. Frontend is compatible with older backend.

Translation of Report Designer texts
Hi.
I have a Bex query included in a Report Designer report. When I create a worklist (in order to traslate metadata) into another language, the system collects all the proper objects for the Bex query.
The problem is that nothing is collected concerning Report Designer specific metatada (e.g. Page HEADER texts).
Can I translate these texts, and how?
RegardsHi Yannis, in BEx Report Designer it is possible to use Custom Text. See in menu of Report Designer: Insert->Custom Text
According doc:
In the Properties screen area, you can set the custom text to either language-independent or language-dependent. Language-dependent texts are stored in the BEx texts table. They can be translated and reused.

How to insert a new field in the Report Designer
Hi all.
I have a query and a report, but the query evolve.
We have a new key figure (inside rows).
In the report designer, I check the data provider.
The new key figure is added in the catalog field.
Now, I would like to insert the new field in the report.
I add a new row in the report structure but it isnt what I want.
In this case, I add a second row inside an another keys figures block.
I want to create a new block for my new key figure
Thanks for your help
CélineYes, key figures is in the field catalog.
But When I do that " Insert a row ", Report designer create a " row 2 " below another key figures.
And it isn't what I want. I want a new block .
For exemple in the tab report structure (My new key figure is "Margin")
I do that
Group Level 1 : key figures
Detail Area
Sales Amount
row1
cell1
cell2
Cost
row1
cell1
cell2
row2 ( the new row added)
cell1
cell2
But I want that:
Group Level 1 : key figures
Detail Area
Sales Amount
row1
cell1
cell2
Cost
row1
cell1
cell2
Margin
row1
cell1
cell2

Insert multiple queries using either WORKBOOK, WAD or Report Designer
Hello Guys
I have a task where I have to insert multiple queries into one single page/sheet & print it out later. For this I can use any one of the tools available: Workbook, WAD or Report Designer.
1. Workbook - Here I have read that we can use a call back MACRO and some other features.
2. WAD - Here I have read that we can use: 1. Multiple data providers (one for each query) & 2. Multiple web analysis items linking to each individual data provider.
3. Report Designer - Since this is the actual 'formatting' tool provided by SAP, I am assuming that this is the right environment to achieve my task.
My question: Which one out of the above 3 tools is actually feasible? Can someone explain me in detail about how to go about this task. Any 'How to..' docs from SAP would also be most helpful.
Regards.Hi Kashyap,
I have done similar requirement in Workbook,it has better features and more user friendly than others......it depends on the individual...but U cna meet your requirement thru Workbooks...
If the Req are complicated then we go for MAcros ,where in we can satify the critical req,say some sort of Dynamic reqs.
There are lot of threads on Multiple queries in one Workbook....Just search in SDN and u will get lot of Threads on this topic.
Come bak if u have any other doubts.

To view reports in new page for each cutomer using Report Designer
HI all
I have a requirement to view the data (key figures) for each customer in a new page.
I have created the same using the Report Designer tool.
Now there is setting for this Group Header 'Customer' i have selected the option 'repeat group header on each page'
still the query when generated, gives fine results for certain cases but not for all.
like it will show the each customers in a fresh page for some pages , then in midst there would some 2-3 customers in the same page.
There is no relation between these customers , they are same as the other customers, no difference at all.then i am not able to figure out the reason why it is behaving so odd.
Thanks
RameshRamesh,
right now there really is no way to solve what you are looking for. There partial solutions, but you will not be able to force a page break in a dynamic report.
Here is what I have faced, and what I have come up with so far:
I have a series of reports that have the same column heading, but spread over 5 pages in a fixed structure. I need to be able to re-use the header and the general report design with 6 reports. Here is my solution:
1. Create an outline of the report. I did all the formatting by creating a report section for each page. You can force page breaks between the pages. Upgrade to patch 1502 (came out last week) and you will see some new functionality (such as fit to page, page numbers, etc).
2. Insert all you page breaks and do all the formatting.
3. Insert an infoprovider. Once in, you can just drag and drop the key figure cells into your formatted report.
4. Create additional modification for formatting as needed.
This fixes my problem (for now), but I had to do a lot of work to come up with this. Also, the latest patch (1501 and 1502) has created an issue for me - there is a null exception when I try to use a variable or a filter value in the report body - I can't save the report. I have an OSS message out, but our BASIS guys are going to be taking the lead on troubleshooting this.
The reason that you are seeing some customers on the new pages is probably because of "how the cookie falls" - they just fit that way.
I am trying to be positive and overcome the limitations that are in place right now. If my technical issue is solved, I would recommend upgrading to the new patch (1403 is the latest stable one in my opinion)
good luck

page 1 - Sales organization 100
page 2 - Sales organization 200
Concerning to the online documentation it should be possible, but we can't find this functionality
within the BW Report designer.
Could anybody assist us?
Thanks

How can I re-display the header of table on next pages (report designer)
In the report designer, I insert a data provider. The fist line is the field name.
When I browse the report, the field name line can't display on the second page, only on the first page.
How can I do to display it on next pages?
Thanks
EvaLook at the code of the MouseListener to see what method it invokes and then just invoke the method directly.
Or you can create a MouseEvent and use the Component,dispatchEvent(...) method. -
Different chart for each level hierarchy in report designer
Is there a way to display a different chart for each level of the hierarchy in a report designer? I want a different chart for each level. That is, if there are 5 nodes in level 4, I want 5 different nodes. Is there a way to do this? I tried to insert the chart inside a cell in each level, but it shows the same chart for all nodes instead of a different chart for each node.
Has any one tried using a context sensitive chart? According to this, it seems like this should be possible, but I am having no luck.

Hi all,
I have two questions when I run BEx Report Designer:
1. For InfoProvider or query with Chinese characters, I can't insert Data Provider into Report Designer. The error message is "Server does not return query metadata Check the query". For English-based InfoProvider or query it works.
2. When I insert a query into Report Designer and execute it, it pops up another error message as following:
<b>Version number of report is too high
This report Web item can display reports with version number 2.1 or lower. This report has version number 2.2
To display this report, use a newer version of the report Web item
Contact your system administrator. This error was recorded</i> </b>
The BW is version 7.0 with SP12 and the BEx is SP12 with Patch1. Please help on these issues if you have any idea. Thanks very much.Please check the deployment of BI Java.
The message corresponds to a Report Item of NW 2004s SPS 9.
Reports with Version 2.2 can be processed by Report Item SPS 10 and higher.
Report Designer checks the BI SP number (ABAP). You have to make sure
the BW server and the Portal are in sync regarding the SPS. I assume the BI SP was 10 or 11 when the Report was saved. However the Portal was not upgraded when the Report was run.
NW 2004s SPS 12 = BI Java SPS 12, BI ABAP SP 13/14
NW 2004s SPS 11 = BI Java SPS 11, BI ABAP SP 12
NW 2004s SPS 10 = BI Java SPS 10, BI ABAP SP 10/11

9iDS Release 2 Report Designer Crashes
I have had numerous crashes over the past few weeks using this tool. As a background, I now have about 25 reports. Sometimes, I go into each one and "tweak" the report to change parameter sizes, layout, footer, etc. I "hand" edit some of these because I never seem to be able to re-load the template without some error. I don't know the tool very well, but, it's got a lot of great features. If it didn't crash or hang, numerous times, it would be great. One morning, recently, I was trying to update all the reports (22 of them) and print a sample page for my customer. I was ensuring the logo was the right one, the page footer was right, etc. I recieved no less than 10 crashes, forcing a restart of the tool each time. Needless to say, I wasted a lot of time doing that and wasn't able to go through all 22 reports I am running under Windows 2000 SP2 (and also under Windows XP Pro, SP1). This is both before and after applying 9.0.2.0.4 patch. Note, now that I know how to create templates, the logo, footer, etc issues are really not the problem, rather the crashes.
Sorry for the long list here in one message, but it seems to be large pattern and can be frustrating at times.
Template "Reapplication" issues:
1) Reapplying self-made template after only changing font and font size in template to make it smaller: I get a "No column is selected in group 'my group name'. Each report produces a different result, but that's the error message -- actually, I just tested this again. I don't even have to try to open re-apply the template specifically. I open the report wizard and click finish and get this, no matter what I do in the wizard. Is that the only way to reapply the template (especially, since I only want to get the font changes and color changes).
2) Clicking OK to the above error OFTEN (most of the time), produces "Instruction at 0x64e39295 referenced memory at 0x8b501045. The memory could not be read. In some cases, this happens after I select cancel in the reports wizard, when I received the error #1 above.
Because I don't understand problem #1 very well and because I frequently receive error #2, I end up opening the "old" report, copying the SQL query, closing the "old" report and generating a new report, using the template and then re-sizing the columns of the report. If someone could help with #1, that would be most helpful. That may or may not prevent the errors below. Most of my reports are "paper and web layout" and "group left" with 2 or 3 levels of groups, if that makes a difference. Also, all of my queries have lexical parameter "where_clause", allowing dynamic augmenting of where_clause.
3) The pattern of operations is: open old report, Grab SQL, close old report, generate new report via reports wizard, make report look right (fix column widths, make count columns right justified and displayed with "0,0" formatting, insert bookmarks, update user_parameter where_clause (see below) to be 4,000 characters). Save as and pick old name, when complete, save report, close report and open next report. I get through 2, 3 or 4 reports and then I get a crash. There are a two errors that I consistently see:
a) During open of report: XML Parser failure, then the crash
b) Unable to load string resource, then crash.
c) During close of report, The instruction at 0x64af3d4f referenced memory at 0x00001f55. The memory could not be read.
4) the template has user parameter defined "where_clause" 4,000 characters. I thought the template would supply that, but every time the reports wizard takes my query with the &where_clause, it resets the parameter size to 40 characters. I think that's because I'm seeing the message: Note: the query Q_1 has created the lexical parameter(s) 'where_clause', and I think that's overriding my template because at this point in the wizard I haven't even picked my template.
5) Alt-tabbing away from Reports back and forth (while creating this message, in fact), I have received the following twice while in reports wizard, after getting the exact text of the lexical parameter dialog mentioned above. The error: "The instruction 0x65134268 referenced memory at 0x00000044. The memory could not be read.
I hope these issues will be resolved in the near future. This is a great reporting tool, but with these kinds of errors, it's frustrating to use.
Regards,
JeffHi Jeff,
Issue #1 occurs because of the report wizard. When you need to make a change, not the entire report, you should not use the wizard, use the Layout editor instead, in your case you can open the report design in the layout editor to change the font size/color of the fields then run the report and save it.
The wizard, when invoked, will start the whole new report design and expect new selections for the design, in your case, it expects you to select the fields to be displayed in the group(s) again, that is why you got the error, and I belive this error is the cause to other errors. You can test to see in the wizard, after you apply the new template don't click Finish yet, but go to the Group and Field tabs you will see . Even after you select the fields for the group when you run you will see that the report has new layout which looks completely different from the previous layout.
Good luck. -
