Report Directory Creation

Can you please change the report object to incorporate directory creation? I'd like to file reports by date/time and dynamic directory creation is needed to do this in Lookout.
Another way to print screens to pdf (preferred) or html with date/time directories or filenames would be welcome. Since the report graphic objects are not nameable (by date/time for example), new directory is needed for each report to properly file/separate them.
Related to this is the ability to make a date object (expression, or other) dynamic included in a filename with the correct numeric format. No luck so far.
Ideas/experience welcome!

Okay, I've got it. You will need to disable images for this post page to see as typed (without smiley faces...that are NOT supposed to be in my text below)
Key was to use expressions with embedded text functions such as:
"cmd /c mkdir \\Domain\Share\lookout\reports\all_rad\"&left(text(if(Sw_All_Rad_Tnd_Live,now(Tmr_5sec),Pt_All_Ht_Start.value),"yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm"),10)&"\"&mid(text(if(Sw_All_Rad_Tnd_Live,now(Tmr_5sec),Pt_All_Ht_Start.value),"yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm"),12,2)
The above is the value of an expression object that is connected to the run object's "Command line" property which writes the directory yyyy-mm-dd\hh based on a conditional pot value.
The report's " Output directory" property uses another expression object that is similar, just without the dos command:
"\\Domain\Share\lookout\reports\all_rad\"&left(text(if(Sw_All_Rad_Tnd_Live,now(Tmr_5sec),Pt_All_Ht_Start.value),"yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm"),10)&"\"&mid(text(if(Sw_All_Rad_Tnd_Live,now(Tmr_5sec),Pt_All_Ht_Start.value),"yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm"),12,2)
Lookout is power, even if it is clumsy sometimes.
A separate issue with reports is that the panels I am trying to print are full screen (normally maximized, normal panels). Unfortunately, when the Panel.graphic is connected to the report.display parameter, it uses the screen property size and does not use the "maximized" equivalent size.
The issue is that you cannot make a "non" maximized normal panel as big as it is when displayed maximized, so it is impossible to print the entire panel as it is displayed in Lookout.
It would be great if this could be "fixed" some how. Ryan....comment?

RAR: Configuration parameter "Report directory on the SAP ERP Server"

Hi,
Under a scenario with a standalone SAP GRC AC 5.3 installation and connected with several R/3 system through JCO destinations.
Which SAP ERP Server Directory do we have to specify?
Many thanks in advance. Best regards,
Imanol

Sunny,
I did not mean the Spool File Directory.
I mean the parameter "SAP Server Application Location". The parameter above FTP Location.
Under the configuration guide it is said for this parameter that:
"The report directory on the SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application servers. This is the temporary storage location for security reports generated by background jobs. Virtual directories delivered in the ERP system, such as DIR_HOME and DIR_TMP, are supported. These directories are viewed with SAP ERP transaction, AL11. The same directory name is used for all SAP back-end systems."
Thanks in advance. Best regards,
Imanol

Report directory property in teststand 2012

Hi,
I'm trying to programmatically access the report file directory in teststand 2012, the location of which changed vs. 2010. I found one at:
RunState.Root.Locals.ModelPluginConfiguration.Plugins[0].PluginSpecific.Options.Directory
But the "[0]" tells me it's 0 probably because the report is the first item in the result processing list, and if that ever changed, my code would break. Is there another location besides the above that holds the report directory?
Thanks
David J.

The problem about using [0] is that you are also under the assumption that someone has NOT reordered the list of plugins in the Result Processor list. To fix that you could check for the name of the Plugin instead of the index.
To do this you could utilize the ModelPluginConfiguration callback.
Foreach { Parameters.ModelPluginConfiguration.Plugins }
if { Locals.Plugin.Base.DisplayNameExpression == "\"Report\"" }
Then obtain the ReportFilePath
Now, if someone decides to delete the Report plugin, then that is another story.
Is there someway to prevent someone from DELETING a Plugin from the Results Processor window? I imagine privileges probably wouldn't allow a technician or operator to do this, but an admin probably still could. When it is deleted, it does not appear in the Configuration List, I would assume.
Thanks,
PH

Reports directory

Hi,
is the reports directory or reports noad registered in any table ? In which ?
Thank you.

try CDM_DIST_NODE for node definition.
and the report directory depends on the process & run. all reports logs go to webserver psreports (if its configured that way).

Directory Creation in Unix/Linux using sysop group.

Hi All,
Directory Creation in Linux using sysop group.
I want to create a directory using sysop group but it default create using root:root
I have other user called test:test using test:test sysop group i want create directory
In java using test:test sysop group how to create directory.
Is it possible i have checked the File API. I did't find any information.
Please any one help me.

I find it worrying that you are able to create a root:root file since this implies that you are running your Java program as user root.

Zfs on solaris 10 and home directory creation

I am using samba and a root preexec script to automatically create individual ZFS filesystem home directories with quotas on a Solaris 10 server that is a member of a Windows 2003 domain.
There are about 60,000 users in Active Directory.
My question is about best practice.
I am worried about the overhead of having 60,000 ZFS filesytems to mount and run on Solaris 10 ?
Edited by: fatfish on Apr 29, 2010 2:51 AM

Testing results as follows -
Solaris 10 10/09 running as VM on Vmware ESX server with 7 GB RAM 1 CPU 64 bit.
ZFS pool created with three 50 GB FC LUNS from our SAN (Hardware RAID5). There are shared to ESX server and presented to the Solaris VM as Raw Device Mappings (no VMFS).
I set up a simple script to create 3000 ZFS filesystem home directories
#!/usr/bin/bash
for i in {1..3000}
do
zfs create tank/users/test$i
echo "$i created"
done
The first 1000 created very quickly.
By the time I reached about 2000 each filesystem was taking almost 5 seconds to create. Way too long. I gave up after about 2500.
So I rebooted.
The 2500 ZFS filesystems mounted in about 4 seconds, so no problem there.
The problem I have is why do the ZFS file system creation time drop of and become unworkable? I tried again to add to the pool after reboot and there was the same slow creation time.
Am I better off with just one ZFS file system with 60,000 userquotas applied and lots of ordinary user home directories created under that with mkdir?

Home Directory Creation using Remote Manager

Hi,
We are working on OIM-AD. we have two AD domains in our environment. we need to create home directory folder upon AD provisioning such that only admin or respective user can access the folder. We tried all possible stops but we are not able to assign proper permissions. Also in one of the domain the vbscript for folder creation is run by admin and in other domain it has to be run by domain user.
has anyone achieved this by means of Remote Manager?

Hi Cmm user,
Thanks for your posting.
To set the attribute of homedirectory for a user in powershell, please also try the cmdlet set-aduser:
import-module activedirectory
$HomeDrive=’Z:’
$UserRoot=’\\CONTOSO-FPS\Users$\’
$HomeDirectory=$UserRoot+$AccountName
SET-ADUSER $AccountName –HomeDrive $HomeDrive –HomeDirectory $HomeDirectory
I hope this helps.

Re: Report painter - Creation of Profit center report (New GL enabled)

Hello all,
I am trying to create profit center report using report painter. I am trying to create formula variable to show the cumulative values for the elements assigned to the profit center.
I want to get values for cumulative period ie for eg if i give 12 as period on selection screen i want to get the cumulative value for per 1 + per 2 + per 3+ per 4 + ......... + per12.
I did the following for getting the cumulative values for period.
1. created Formula variable ZPER01 with formula '#S006'
2. created formula variable ZPER02 with formula IF 'ZPER01' > 1 THEN 'ZPER01' + 1 else 17.
3. IF 'ZPER02' > 1 THEN 'ZPER01' + 'ZPER02' + 1 ELSE 17
3. continued the creation until ZPER16 with formula IF 'ZPER05' > 1 THEN 'ZPER01' + 'ZPER02' +
'ZPER03' + 'ZPER04' + 'ZPER05' + 'ZPER06' + 'ZPER07' + 'ZPER08' + 'ZPER09'+ 'ZPER09' + 'ZPER10' + 'ZPER11' + 'ZPER12' + 'ZPER13' + 'ZPER14' + 'ZPER15'+ 1 ELSE 17

Hi,
You can copy your Report Writer or Report Painter reports from Profit Center Accounting to new General Ledger Accounting. This is possible for standard reports as well as your own reports. A corresponding tool supports you in this.
Prerequisites
In classic Profit Center Accounting, you have standard reports or your own reports that you want to copy.
To be able to use the Report Writer reports or the Report Painter reports in new General Ledger Accounting, you need to have assigned the scenario Profit Center Update to at least one ledger in Customizing for Financial Accounting (New).

It's also worth remembering that identifiers are always uppercase unless you or your development tool are stupid enough to double quote them at creation.

Where to add new jsp reports directory location in path

hi all,
where can i add a another location to the path of jsp reports.
currently jsp reports i have to copy at one location only i.e.
OH/j2ee/OC4J_BI_Forms/applications/reports/web/examples/Tools
like REPORTS_PATH env variable in OH/bin/reports.sh, can i add one more location to it.
regd

REPORTS_PATH cannot be used for locating jsp reports (when you are running web layout). You have to keep jsp files under document root that is OH/j2ee/OC4J_BI_Forms/applications/reports/web directory. You can create sufbolders under this directory and keep jsp files.
For example if you keep jsps in a folder named 'myjsps' under web folder, URL to access the jsp will be
http://host:port/reports/myjsps/test.jsp? .....

Visual Studio TestStand API runtime enable/disable XML reporting file creation

I am looking for a Visual Studio C# solution to selectively disable creation of the report generation XML file using the TestStand API.
These XML files are useful for active troubleshooting for technicians, but wind up cluttering important directories with useless information most of the time.
I am aware that the XML file creation can be disabled through the TestStand Sequence Editor menu item Configure | Result Processing | Output Name Report | Enabled unchecked option.
This is helpful, but:
1. I have not found a way to check-uncheck this feature at runtime.
2. I do not believe that this would be an effective solution for my instal-less Base Deployment Paradigm.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thank you for the quick and concise response James_Grey!
This is useful, complete, and implementable but not exactly what I was hoping for.
I was hoping to be able to enable/disable the XML file creation for the currently executing instance of the engine prior to sequence start.
I would rather not disable reporting through a configuration file that would effectively disable it for all uses of TestStand until it was re-enabled again.
Are my expectations unrealistic?
Does anyone have any idea how creation of the XML file can be enabled/disabled for an active instance of the engine prior to sequence start through the API without altering the file based configuration of TestStand?
I have seen some postings around 2008 that indicate this can be done, but I was unsuccessful implementing those solutions in TestStand 2013.

Problem In Report 6i Creation

Hi allz
I have created a character report through wizard , in wizard there is template tab the last wizard of report i specify there predifned template to character mode for creating character report then i go to system parameter "MODE" properties there is initial value "Charatcter" sub paramter under parameter property .After that when i run the report it seems to me like bit map report i.e when i take out print it gives the print with actual font e.g bold italic font what i specify the font at designing time at laser printer .
If it is charatcer report then it should print at laser printer without specific font if it is character report , then i create a dummy user paramater and run the report it prints like a character report now at laser printer i.e without specific font.
What cause to create a user paramater which shows the charatcter report but not without user parameter ?
Is it necessary to create user paramter when creating character report?
Thanx in advance

select j.job_no , j.customer_no, j.technical_name, s.spare_part
from job_orders j, spart s
HI
To answer your question :
The query should be like this- add where claause
select j.job_no , j.customer_no, j.technical_name, s.spare_part
from job_orders j, spart s
where j.job_no = s.job_no
And if you want mention job order on every row it return , then you should select report type type as Normal/Tablura.
Or
If you want to print job_no only once then below only other details then you should select report type sa - Group Above/Left
Hope you got what u exepct
