Report Distribution in ERP

Hi all -
Interested in the best technique for report distribution in ERP ECC 6.0 given that BI and Portal are not in scope and ERP licences are limited. Is there report distribution capability in ERP that can be used or do I have to build a small application to send (email) pre-defined reports (I.e. report/variant/email address/frequency stored in custom table) through SAPConnect? I do know that report distribution is addressed in BI but is there any capability in ERP?
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Vinnie -
Wish it were this simple. What I am asking is if there is capability to distribute different reports to different users (not necessarily users with SAP logons) in different formats (xls, html, ...) at predefined frequency (weekly, monthly, quarterly) via an automated process. At a minimum, the report (i.e. program), variant, email address and report frequency (or a trigger/event) would have to be maintained in ERP (i.e. persistently). BI has this type of capability. Is there any similar type or a light version of this in ERP or do I have to build it?
Thanks,
Pat

Hi Dinesh,
When you are trying to Generate Distribution Model for your warehouse that time there are three fields one of those is your ERP warehouse number and Second is Logical System of EWM and third one is Distribution Model view. You might have entered a wrong model view name and then you tried to execute, system is giving you error that ".... method exists in model view WMS" that means you need to enter WMS model view in third field and then execute with radio button selected CREATE ENTRIES along with BOTH radio button selected.
Thanks and regards

Report Distribution Expert... scr8_distr_expert.exe

Hello,
We are currently running Crystal Report version 8.5 (Developer Edition) and are in need of the report distribution expert (scr8_distr_expert.exe). I cannot locate this file for download. Does anyone know where / how I can download this file?
To answer the inevitable questions...
- Yes, I have tried the current report viewer. The current version of the Crystal Report Viewer supports version 9.0 and higher.
- No, I cannot purchase or upgrade to a newer version of Crystal Reports (budgetary restraints due to current economic climate)
- No, I do not have a budget to purchase a third-party software application
- Yes, a FREEWARE or OPENSOURCE third-party application would be acceptable
Thanks!

The distribution expert for CR 8.5 is here:

Necesito el Report Distribution Expert para Cristal Reports 9 Gracias!!!

Compas tengo el Cristal Reports 9 y necesito el Report Distribution Expert , No se si ya existe?
Muchas gracias!!

An alternative to Ido's idea is to create your own application using the one of the available SDks in CR 9;
Report Application Server (RDC)
Print Engine APIs
CR for .NET
Java
Note that the Print Engine APIs were retired in version 10 or CR, and the RDC was retired in version 11.5 of Crystal Reports.

Report Distribution through Email (secure)

Hi,
I have tried emailing reports using SMTP and would kile to know if it is possible to do a secure email using Oracle Reports9iAS in-built 'report distribution via email' feature.
If yes, how can this be done?
Thanks,
Bharat

Bharat,
I now get what you are exactly looking far ( I wasn't sure earlier)
If you are looking for enxryting the mail content before sending, then you should go for a pluggbale mail destination. Tou could also explore oracleWireless destination wihc could be sued for mail destination. I beleive oracleWireless webservice mail destination supports encryption of mail body
I was undarstanding that, you are probbaly don't want to have the receipients ids not exposed in the reports URL. This can be achived by reports bursting/distribution nand you can repeat on a goup which has a db column having mail ids
Thanks

Can anyone point me to any documentation on how to set up reporting agent reports to automatically be sent to a central file system?
Can someone share their experience with their client regarding reporting distribution?
Appreciate your help!

Hi
As far as my knowledge is concerned this is possible if u r performing distribution based on the column on which u have the date.It should be a group on which u r performing the distribution.
Thanks & Regards

Report distribution/bursting error

Hi All,
Ive created a distribution.xml file and a report file test.rdf both of which were placed in the approp directory.
The content of the xml file is as follows:
<destinations>

<foreach>
<file id="MyFiles" name="report_&<p_fleet_id>.pdf" format="pdf" instance="this">
<include src="report"/>
</file>
</foreach>

<foreach>
<mail id="ex2"

to="[email protected]"
from="[email protected]"
subject="This mail contains the files for &<p_fleet_id>">
<body srcType="text">
This is the body of the message.
</body>
<attach format="pdf" name="report_&<p_fleet_id>.pdf" srcType="report" instance="this">
<include src="mainSection"/>
</attach>
</mail>
</foreach>
</destinations>
=======================
When I run the report from the browser using
http://atdevaw07:7778/reports/rwservlet/?rs_rpt_key_pirps&REPORT=test.rdf&DISTRIBUTE=YES&DESTINATION=distribution.xml
I get the follwing error message:

REP-34304: Distribution failed to complete, please review the distribution lists
Please help!
Thanks

Instead of ...
subject="This mail contains the files for &<p_fleet_id>">
try using ...
subject="This mail contains the files for &am p; &l t; p_fleet_id &g t;."> (escape characters for ampersand & less-than, greater-than symbols).

Report Distribution is extremely Slow

Hello,
I have a report with multiple Queries joined by Data Links. I have 4 Distributions done at the Main Body Level. If I do only 1 distribution, the report is successfully distributed and in a less time.
If all the 4 distributions are put in, then report just goes on and on.
Any ideas or clues or suggestions regarding the same.
I can pass you the report, if required.
Regards
Shivanand R Koppalkar

Hi,
We have used the datalinks for limited number of data, currently the data is over 3000 records for the main query driving other queries.

Automated report distribution

We are using Discoverer 3.1. I could not find separate discussion forum for 3.1 so I am trying to get info on this forum.
The report scheduling in 3.1 does not have facility to distribute report (email, FTP, post on server etc.) when report runs at scheduled time. Is there any other way to do this so that users do not have to open scheduled reports and do distribution manually? Any help is appreciated.
-Jeet

I am looking for the same type of solution. Possibly creatiing a PDF file and mailing the resulting file with a distribution list. If you have any update news, please email me with the info.
Thanks,
Chuck Catron

Regarding report distribution

Hi,
I am using a distribution portlet in a portal and trying to enter report details like name of report,its location, parameters involved and when I view these applied changes, I am getting an error.
REP-56055: Exceed max connections allowed: 20" Oracle Reports Error
So to fix this I followed the following steps.
http://www.rittman.net/archives/000514.html
The problem is not fixed and all the different reports that use this distribution portlet are giving the same error. The problem is not with the distribution portlet. It is from the report side. Whe I try to open the report with its URL, it does not give me any error. Only when I put it in the distribution portlet, it gives the above error.
Any solution?

Hi,
Did you try increasing the maxConnect to higher value ?
say
<connection maxConnect="50" idleTimeOut="15">
and restart the server with the new set values and try again.
Do you also notice any hangs or what is the state of the engines ? If you feel that they are not responding in reasonable time, you may set
engineResponseTimeOut="10"
this will eventually ensure that the held connection gets freed up.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Reports Distribution

Hi,
We have been distributing reports to mutiple destinations for almost six months now without any problems. The volume was low, approximately 2000 pages per day.
Now, the volumes hav increased to 15000 and suddenly the report fails to distributes !! It completes all the activities and then gets stuck at the After Report trigger. After an hour or so, it comes out with a memory error. the second time, it just came out with a null error.
Has anybody faced a similar problem ?
Is there a limit to the number of files that can be created via distribution?
Regards.

I have found the same problem if the report is generated in pdf format;
I only have a simple query for know the memory used for the oc4j:
select count(*)
from all_objects objects2
, all_objects objects1
where rownum < (700 * 80 )
it generates around 56000 records ( near 700 pages with 80 records per page ), and with the use of OC4J for generating only this report, the memory consummed is over 250Mb.
In production environment the next error is presented if many users try to get a generated pdf from reports services:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLPARSERCOVER", line 0
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLPARSER", line 89
Several memory paramenters of the application server and database session parameters has been adjusted (sga_* / java_*) without any good result for delete this error.
It seems an xml parser error relative to the use of DOM,
but ¿Is Oracle Reports Implementation using DOM as a media to generate the pdf format?

Hi Raj,
I'm not an expert on ECC and BW but hopefully relation between netweaver & ecc(plz see these questions friends) thread can give you at least some hints. You could also have a look at the Installation guides on http://service.sap.com/instguides.
BTW, you've hit the wrong forum here - I'll move your thread to the NetWeaver AS General forum where you'll probably get more responses to your questions.
Best regards,
Vladimir
