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

Ramesh,
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

How to know how many users uses Report Designer?

Dear Experts,
Somebody knows if it's possible to know how many users have made look ups in Report Designer on one period or how many modifications?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If the cube is checked for Statistics, there is a option settings for BI Statistics under tools, then all the user related info is stored in Techincal Content Cubes. Based on TCT(technical Content Cubes), you need to create a report based on the requirement. From then we can know user log info for the particular queries.
Hope this helped you
Thanks

Latest Front-End Support pack - Report Designer

Hi,
We are having some formating related issues in Report Designer in some of the Finance reports. I believe this is because of missing latest Support Packs or Patches front end.... for example, in report designer we unable to see the settings in the property window (on left) to display column headings on each page.
We are on front-end pack: BI Add-on 7.10, Support Pack 5, Revision 529.
Back-end: Support Pack 16.
Is this the latest one (for Front-end)?
If not, can you please let me know what is the latest support pack/patches available?
Thanks.

Query Selection Screen in Report Designer/WAD

Hi Gurus,
Please help. Iam try to copy two BEx queries into one report using Report Designer & Web Application Designer. Iam sucessfull in it, however when I execute the report either by report designer or WAD, the report does not populate the selection screen, it just gives you the output of the two queires into one page. Is there a pre-settings we need to perform to get the selection screen for each of this report?
Thanks!

Hi,
Front-end upgrade will not help in this case. This feature "Display Variable Screen [VARIABLE_SCREEN]" was introduced in SP8 backend. You need SP8 backend to be able to use it.
You will find this setting in "Properties" -> "Web Template" (in combo box) -> "Web Template Parameters" -> "Behaviour" -> "Display Variable Screen"
This setting is defined in metadata and required an implementation on Java side (also SP8 required)

Custom rendering extensions not working in SSRS Report Designer (rsreportdesigner.config)

My custom rendering extension is working in Report Builder (in RSReportServer.config), but not in Report Designer (in RSReportDesigner.config): instead of adding a "TXT" export option, it's just adding a duplicate "CSV" option.
SUMMARY:
Is there a way to get these features working, with Report Designer?
DETAILS:
We are running SSRS (Reporting Services) under SQL Server 2008 R2.
Here's my rendering section:
 <Render>
 <Extension Name="XML" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.XmlDataReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering" />
 <Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering" />
 
 <Extension Name="TXT" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
 <OverrideNames>
 <Name Language="en-US">TXT(ASCII,NoColHds)</Name>
 </OverrideNames>
 <Configuration>
 <DeviceInfo>
 <FileExtension>txt</FileExtension>
 <FieldDelimiter>,</FieldDelimiter>
 <Encoding>ASCII</Encoding>
 <NoHeader>true</NoHeader>
 </DeviceInfo>
 </Configuration>
 </Extension>
 <Extension Name="IMAGE" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ImageRenderer.ImageRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ImageRendering" />
 <Extension Name="PDF" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ImageRenderer.PDFRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ImageRendering" />
 <Extension Name="HTML4.0" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.HtmlRenderer.Html40RenderingExtension,Microsoft.ReportingServices.HtmlRendering" Visible="false" />
 <Extension Name="MHTML" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.HtmlRenderer.MHtmlRenderingExtension,Microsoft.ReportingServices.HtmlRendering" />
 <Extension Name="RPL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.RPLRendering.RPLRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.RPLRendering" Visible="false" />
 <Extension Name="EXCEL" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.ExcelRenderer.ExcelRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.ExcelRendering" />
 <Extension Name="WORD" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.WordRenderer.WordDocumentRenderer,Microsoft.ReportingServices.WordRendering" />
 </Render>
When I add the above "TXT" section to RSReportServer.config, then Report Builder (and production) both show an export option "TXT(ASCII,NoColHds)".
But when I add this "TXT" section to RSReportDesigner.config, and then (in Report Designer / BIDS) attempt to export from a "Preview" of the report, the export drop-down does not show a "CSV" option followed by a "TXT"
option, but instead shows the "CSV" option twice.
This simply limits testing of the export option, to Report Builder... or requires any reports be published from Report Designer before they can be tested with
this export option.
(FYI, why this export option: compliance in our industry requires sending data to government agencies, in text files, with fixed-length columns, and ASCII encoding. Also, we're attempting to give the production of these files to the *users* managing
communication with those agencies... so we're putting them into SSRS.
I worked around the fixed length columns (and no delimiters -- no commas), by writing a version of the report where all string columns are padded, and all columns are concatenated, to form ONE LONG COLUMN... but Reporting Services' CSV export format produces
a Unicode file (UTF-8, which the agency rejected, because it had a leading "ï»¿", or "EF BB BF" in hex), whereas the agency requires an ASCII file.)

Hi Doug_atMidway,
According to your description, you want to enable your custom render extension. Right?
In Reporting Services, if you want to deploy the custom extension, you just need to add the extension into rsreportserver.config file. The
RSReportDesigner.config file stores settings about the rendering extensions available to Report Designer. Since you still use the csv rendering extension in your assembly, we don't need to do any modification in rsreportdesigner.config file. Pleaes
refer to the links below:
Thanks for attempting to help, Simon.
As my question states, I've *already done* both the above: changed (1) rsreportserver.config and (2) rsreportdesigner.config. I added the same code, shown above, to both files. I did that so I could see the new "txt" extension
both (1) when exporting in production and Report Builder, and (2) when exporting in Report Designer's "preview".
The change in (2) is not working: I do not see the "TXT" extension in Report Designer, when I try to export from a preview. Instead, Report Designer shows the CSV extension repeated.
Thanks for the docs. I consulted them (well, I consulted the EQUIVALENT pages, for SQL Server 2008 R2), when creating my block of code above.
Do you see anything to correct, in my code?
Are the features I'm using actually working, with rsreportdesigner.config?
Thanks again,
-- Doug

Text Variables in Report Designer

We are creating some formatted reports in BI 7.0 using the Report Designer tool. One of the requirements is that when the report is flitered by a certain characteristic, say for e.g. Country = 'DE', the text associated with the country e.g. 'Germany' should be populated in the header of the report. Does anybody know if variable texts are supported in Report Designer ?

Run Time Errors in BEx Report Designer?....asking for Portal Setup??

In BEx Report Designer, I keep getting short dumps and timeouts when trying to design flashy reports.
I keep getting 2 errors when I time out:
1. 'Query (view) definition cannot be retrieved from Portal.
Please try again or check query and Portal Setup!
Time limit exceeded.
2. xxx Error when reading Query (via BICS)
Please check query and Portal setup!
Time limit exceeded.
We are running ECC 6.0, BI2004s, and SEM 6.0. All in Sandbox/Dev environment.
We are NOT running EP.
I am aware that we have some memory issues, and we're adding 4Gb more on Thursday....can the solution be that simple, or are these errors telling me we need Portals installed? I was under the impression that Portals were NOT required for 2004s, so long as you did not use WAD etc.
Any thoughts??

You would need to install portals(EP) for the report designer to work. When you design your flashy report in designer and try it launch it... it would try to connect to EP to publish it. It bombs when it doesnt find the portal.
On a personal note: Report designer have a long way to go when you think the output would be something like crystal .. NO not yet ... But SAP just got started ... I think they would be there pretty soon. And they promise many enhancements as of SP 13.. so lets all wait.

How to display top 2 countries in 2 columns in Report Designer

Hello Gurus ,
I have a requirement where top 2 countries has to be displayed in two different columns in Report Designer.
is there are way to do that, i tried many differetn ways but was not successfull, apart from creating text variables and writing customer exit.
I appreciate your help
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi,
I am not sure what version you are, from version 9.3 I think there is a "Top" function, just highlight the row, tick the option for "Top", set the number and the column
Failing that if you need to use rank could you not hide the column.
Cheers

Report Designer Heading

Hi,
I have created a Report in Report Designer and executing the same in the portal. My report has a Header, report section and Footer. In the Report section of the Report, the first row is the Heading of the columns like Material, customer, sold to party, Bill to party, etc.. When i execute the report in the portal, this heading row is displayed in the first page. When i move to the second page, i could only see the header, footer & the values but not the Heading row. I want the Heading row also to appear in all of the pages in Portal. I have checked all the options available in Report Designer but couldnt find anything relevant to this.
Any help on this? Thanks for all ur time.
Regards,
Murali

Murali,
ONLY the "Header Section" and "Footer Section" will be displayed on each page. If you want the column headings to display on every page you must put them in the Header Section of the report. Just add columns to the Header to match your report format then type in your columns headers in the "Header section."
NOTE: When you first add a header section to the report it adds it as one big row (really one big column). Just click the top of the default header row and add columns to match your formatting. Then resize them to fit the page.
If you need, you can also MERGE cells together (similar to Excel) to get the length required for your formatting.
Hope that helps
Kevin

Help on Report Design

Dear Expert,
Please help me out in following Report Requirement.
Our Management required to develop report which shows Customer Outstanding based on credit periods given to Customer. As the number of credit days varies customer wise. Customer credit days are maintained in Customer Master.
How do I calculate outstanding of Customer within credit days & Overdue Outstanding in BEx Query Designer, I hope this might be possible using customer exit variable but this credit days limit is not fixed for all customer, then how to get it ?
Please Help.
Regards,
DK

In the gray section to the left of the report design, right-click on the group footer for the Account Code and select 'Section Expert'. Turn on "New Page After". To prevent a blank page at the end of your report, click on the formula button to the right of the check-box and enter "not OnLastRecord".

Unable to Drill Down for Report Designer

hellooo...I created a report using a query in Report Designer. My query is having a structure in the row and I'm using this query for the report in Report Designer. After I created this report in Report Designer, I assign this report in Web Application Designer and create a navigation pane to link this report for the drill down function. But I have problem on drill down this report in the web template when i click on this navigation pane for the free char i defined. Eg: when i drill down for the char in the free char under the navigation pane item, I cannot perform the drill down horizontally but can perform drill down vertically. After perform drill down, I don't see the values from that char being displayed in the reports. Just wondering report in report designer cannot have any drill down function? or is my query problem due to the structure i defined? thanks alotttt...

The report designer needs a fixed Column definition ( structures)
In case of drill across this requirement is not fullfilled.
This is not changable and is due to design, sorry.
so you can only drill down.
best regards,
Kai
