Report Generation: Dynamic VS. Static

Hi there:
I have following questions that I'm not sure how to get clarification. If you have some input, please let me know. You can also email me directly to my email address.
I'm looking into a report generation part of this project. One of the requirements is that, the reports need to be generated periodically (ie. daily, monthly, seasonly ...) and automatically (ie. 1200am daily, 1200am on 30/month ... etc). Then the output(generated reports) will need to be stored in some well structured directories. This is what I ment by static report generation. Now, the question is that, do current Oracle reporting utilities provide "Scheduling" functionality as mentioned earlier. Also, functionality that allow the report auto-generation to output reports in a stmart way, such as save it in a specific directory. And the name of the report file will be according to a specific format (ie mmddyyy.html)
Second questions is that, if I go with the dynamically route, would this method consume a lot of system utilities?? This means that, I can set up my report server into a web/portal like service. Users can always request reports from a www client and a server generate this report on-the-fly.
Thank you for your inputs
Mark

The oracle reports server can schedule batch reports at specific periodic times. It can generate them to specific directories and file names to.
This will consume less resources then running the report again and agian for each user. You might want to also check the tolerance parameter that you can pass to reports server for reports caching purposes

Dynamic report generation

We are migrating our client reports from crystal reports to business object reports and I need your help on how to achieve the below functionality in Business object reports.
Requirements
1. We need to generate and deliver around 30,000 statements to clients (mostly ftp and email) from 300 Webi report templates.
2. This has to be a complete automated process with no user intervention.
For example: Using Webi / Deski Report1, we need to run the report for each client account and then generate a statement and deliver it to client (only client specific data). Web1 reports are complex and some might take 30 to 60mins for generation.
Questions
1) Can it be done by just using BO tools with out coding ( using any .net sdk)?
2) Can a single BO server handle the load, If not How to load balance reports generation and delivery across multiple servers?
3) How to dynamically pass parameters to Webi report without coding?
Thanks for reading my post. Any help/ suggestion is appreciated.

In our current architecture,
1) We use crystal report templates and pass dynamic datasets at runtime to generate multiple client statements.
2) For load balancing, we have 6 app servers with crystal runtime installed and we distribute load across the servers using custom code.
My question is if use BO enterprise will there be any performance enhancements?

Dynamic crystal report generation - issues with column headings

Hi All, 
I'm trying to generate a crystal report dynamically based on a "result set" data(Query: select REPORT_ID, REPORT_NAME, REPORT_DESC, RPT_FILE_NAME, LOCATION from IRS_REPORT_DETAILS). I'm able to generate the report run time, But the report is without columns heads. I would like to include the column headings as well. 
I searched the API(RAS) and found that there is a 'add(java.lang.String fieldName, java.lang.String headingText) " method present in "ReportObjectController" using which we can add the headings. 
ReportDefController reportDefController = clientDoc.getReportDefController();
ReportObjectController reportObjectController = reportDefController.getReportObjectController();
reportObjectController.add( "{Table.Field}", "FieldName" );
 
I'm facing problems in using this code. When trying to use this function for my fields(Ex: reportObjectController.add( "{ IRS_REPORT_DETAILS.REPORT_ID}", "Report ID" );) it is giving me the following error: "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKGroupException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213310 Error code name:fieldNotFound" 
The following is my dynamic crystal report generation code: 
public ReportClientDocument execute(String repName, String query) {
 ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = null;
 try {
 boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
 boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
 // Add a table based on the given Resultset to the report.
 dbConnResultSet mySampleResultSet = new dbConnResultSet();
 //mySampleResultSet.execute(query);
 boReportClientDocument.getDatabaseController().addDataSource(
 mySampleResultSet.execute(query));
 IReportSource test = boReportClientDocument.getReportSource();
 // Access all the database fields
 DatabaseController databaseController = boReportClientDocument
 .getDatabaseController();
 IDatabase database = databaseController.getDatabase();
 Tables tables = database.getTables();
 ITable table = (Table) tables.getTable(0);
 int NO_OF_FIELDS = table.getDataFields().size();
 int LEFT_POSITION = 200;
 // Add all the database fields to the report document
 for (int i = 0; i < NO_OF_FIELDS; i++) {
 IField field = table.getDataFields().getField(i);
 FieldObject fieldObject = new FieldObject();
 fieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
 fieldObject.setDataSource(field.getFormulaForm());
 IReportObject rep = (IReportObject) fieldObject;
 IObjectFormat objformat = rep.getFormat();
 objformat.setEnableCanGrow(true);
 objformat.setHorizontalAlignment(Alignment.from_int(1));
 rep.setFormat(objformat);
 rep.setLeft(LEFT_POSITION);
 rep.setWidth(1000);
 LEFT_POSITION = LEFT_POSITION + 1000 + 50;
 ISection section = boReportClientDocument
 .getReportDefController().getReportDefinition()
 .getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0);
 //***************** Data being added to the report here, But headings are not added*****************
 boReportClientDocument.getReportDefController()
 .getReportObjectController().add(rep, section, i);
 boReportClientDocument.createReport();
 /*Some report saving code is present down*/
 } catch (ReportSDKException ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 } catch (Exception ex) {
 ex.printStackTrace();
 return boReportClientDocument;
 
appreciate your help.

IField field = table.getDataFields().getField(i);
Here you are getting the first field in the array. This may not be the field you want to add since we aren't sure how the arrays are ordered when retrieving fields from the report. It is better to retrieve the fields with the findObjectByName method, thus ensuring you are retrieving the field you want to add to your heading.

I'm getting the below issue when I try to deploy a report with Dynamic parameters, when I deploy it with static parameters I'm not getting this issue.

I’m getting the below issue when I try to deploy a crystal report with Dynamic parameters in BI Launch Pad, when I deploy the same report with static parameters I can deploy and run it. I have Restarted the BI server, still the issue exitno use. kindly help me on this issue.
“This error occurred: Adding Crystal Report "CrystalReport1.rpt" failed. The server with kind rptappserver returned an error result. Failed to copy the report file to the report object. Refreshing the report object properties might have failed. Failed to read data from report file CrystalReport1. Reason: Failed to read parameter object”.

BO does not run dynamic params through the report as would happen without BusinessObjects (BO) or Crystal Reports Server (CRS). When you publish a report with dynamic parameters to BO/CRS, the prompt is published to the repository so that it can be accessed through the Business View Manager (which can be installed as part of the client tools). In order for this to work a couple of things need to happen:
1. You need to be sure that you check the "Update Repository" box on the Save As screen the first time you publish the report.
2. Your BO/CRS user needs to have "view" access to the Crystal2013ReportApplicationServer in the Servers section in the CMC - in fact, the Everyone group should be given view access to the server in order for dynamic prompts to work correctly.
3. In the Business View Manager, the Administrator user needs to give your user, or, even better, a Crystal Developers group full control access to the "Dynamic Cascading Prompts" folder.
Best practice for dynamic prompts in a BO/CRS environment is to actually create the prompts in the Business View Manager. This will allow you to create a single data connection that can be reused and also create lists of values such that the same list or prompt can be reused by multiple reports. If you just create the prompts in Crystal, you will end up with multiple data connections to the same database, the prompts will use the whole query for the reports to get the dynamic values instead of just a focused query to the lookup table that contains the values, and there ends up being lots of duplication and chaos.

Report generation toolkit and signal express user step : problem of closing reference in "Stop" event

Hi all,
I'm trying to make a package of Vis to easily make Excel reports with Signal Express. I'm working on LabVIEW 8.2.1.
I'm using the report generation toolkit, so I build a .llb from my project which contains all the hierarchy of my steps, but also the hierarchy of dynamic VIs called.
I have made some steps, like "Open Workbook", "Write Data", etc.
My steps run well, excepts one step : "Close Workbook".
If my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Run" Signal Express event, I have no error, so my reference is properly closed.
But if my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Stop" Signal Express event, I have an error "1", from "Generate Report Objectrepository.vi".
I feel that I'm trying to use a reference which has been killed in the "Stop" step...
I would like to know what exactly do Signal Express on "Stop" event and why my close function does'nt run well.
Thanks,
Callahan

Hi Callahan,
SignalExpress (SE for short) does the following on the Stop event:
1. Takes the list of parameters that SE found on your VI's connector pane, and sets the values that the user set from the "Run LabVIEW VI" configuration page, if any.
2. Then tells the VI that SE is running the Stop event by setting the Enum found on your VI's front panel. This in turn should produce some boolean values telling your VI to execute the Stop case.
3. The VI is then run, with those values and states.
4. SE checks to see if any errors where returned.
5. Since this is the Stop event, SE releases the reference to the VI which it possesses.
Questions for you would be, is the reference to your Workbook linked to a control on your connector pane, or held in a uninitialized Shift Register. If it's held in a Shift Register, SE would not be aware of it, and would not be able to affect that reference.
Hope that helps. Feel free to post your LLB if it doesn't.

Report Generation for Excel does not work after using the Application Builder

I have a VI that writes data to an Excel file using the Report Generation Toolkit. I recently compiled the VI into a single Application (EXE) using the Application Builder. My VI runs its tests properly, but no data is written to Excel. What could be the cause? I don't receive any error messages.

Hi
I usually build exe-files, which sometimes also have report functionality.
Open the Application Builder and check the following things:
1. Add the following vis: _Word Dynamic VIs.vi, _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi They should be located in the directory ..\LabVIEW X.X\vi.lib\addons\_office in the llbs _wordsub.llb and _exclsub.llb (report1.jpg)
2. If you use an Installer, go to the Advanced Settings. There you can select some things to include in the Installer. Check if "NI Reports Support" is selected. (report2.jpg)
These are the things I always do, if I need reports and I never had problems up to now. I made two screen-shots of these settings.
Hope this helps.

Report generation toolkit VI error when running EXE

A VI inside the Report Generation Toolkit (version 1.1.2), Excel Find Application Directory.vi, will not function correctly when running an EXE. The "Current VI's path" block will return the path of the currently running EXE rather than the path of the Excel Find Application Directory VI. (The same would be true for Word Find Application Directory.vi.)

Have you had a look at this knowledgebase article? The error is caused due to the exclusion of any dynamic VI.

Error 7, report generation toolkits do not work after building.

Hallo guys:
one problem. help!
I tried to build my programs with application builder, unluckly builded exe application does no work well as before, i checked some similar post from this forum, and added that NIReprot.llb in my project and rebuild, the problem still takes place, my program append some text, tables, and charts into a word template with that Report Generation Toolkits, but it always gives out error 7 and 'NI_Word.lvclass:new report subVI.vi -> NI_report.lvclass:New Report.vi -> Creat New Report.vi ->...'error information.
is there anyone can give me some clues about this annoying problem.
thanks a lot!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you say "attached all this library to my project", it is not clear whether you answered the question about including the dynamic VIs in your build specifications. See attached image. You will need to select the files in your project and set them to Always Included. Have you done this?

Error 7 report generation

Good Day,
I seem to be having a little trouble with the report generation tool. I'm running Labview 7.1, have the MS Report Toolkit. I have a construct that creates and formats an Excel Report. It works fine when running it from the developement environment, but when I create an executable and run from the runtime environment, it errors right at the first stage of this sequence, at "New Report.vi". To this VI I have an "Excel" constant tied to input "Report Type" with no other inputs. The error that is caught is code 7 "Open VI Reference in New Report.vi->filename.vi" replacing filename with the name of my file (not to state the obvious).
Is there a seperate runtime toolkit that needs to be installed?
Any ideas? Thanks a bunch.

Hello,
Please read the section in the User Guide for the Report Generation Toolkit on building an executable out of your VI. There are many VIs that are called dynamically by the toolkit that must be handled in a special way (specifically, added as Dynamic VIs to your application) when you build your VI into an executable.

Error involving Report Generation Toolkit and Labview Run Time Engine

Developed an application using LabVIEW 6.1 and LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.0.1. From there, tried to build a shared application for use with the LabVIEW Run Time Engine. The Run Time version functions properly until "New Report.vi" is called and then an error is generated, code 7, calling out "Open VI Reference in New Report.vi" could not be found. When building the application, I did include the "NI Reports Support" in the advanced installer options. The machine used for original development and application build is running Windows XP Pro and Office XP. Any suggestions??

I am having the exact same problem but with LV 6.1 and M/S WORD 2000. It appears that the "New Report.vi" is trying to open "C:\APP.DIR\Word_Open.vi" and "C:\APP.Dir\Word_Open_Document.vi" by reference. The "OFFICE 2000.TXT" says that "_exclsub.llb and _wordsub.llb must be added as support files when building an application or a dynamic link library with the application builder." I added them as Support Files and I copied them to the "C:\TESTER\" where the TESTER.EXE is and I still get ERROR 7 in "NEW REPORT.VI" at VI OPEN REFERENCE.
Do I need to make a "C:\TESTER\DATA\" sub-dir and put the support files there?
I am building on MY COMPUTER on F: Drive on a network and transporting files to the real Tester.
I displayed my App.Property of APP.DI
R at start up and it is C:\TESTER\ ! How would my application know that "Word_Open.vi" and "Word_Open_Document.vi" are actually inside the _wordsub.llb?
Any ideas ?

Report Generation Toolkit Excel Vi's do not run after creating an executable. What am I missing?

I have labview 8.5 and Report Generation Toolkit version 1.1.2. My vi works fine during development. When I make an executable or an installer the excel vi's do not work. I have seen this question posted before but it has always been for earlier revisions and the answers do not seem to apply with 8.5 and 1.1.2.

Hello ajh,
You will have to include Dynamic VIs in the executable you build. The following link has more information:

[code] TEST   [/code]

My question about this is the other Dynamic VPN that is working has no static route.
I added:
route outside 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.248 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP of the non working remote IKE Peer)
This had no effect.
Looking at the two tunnels. The working tunnel is using IKE IPSEC and the nonworking tunnel is using IKE IPsecOverNatT. What have I entered that tells the VPN to use IPsecOverNatT?

Report generation write to file at interval

Hi,
I am using the report generation toolkit to write data to an excel sheet. I am recieving a lot of data but only want to save the data to the excel sheet every minute. I have found threads about doing this with the Write to Measurement Express VI but I am not using that and am unsure how to translate that code to something I could use. Any ideas? I have tried using a case selector around all of the report generation VIs but that doesn't seem to work...
Any help is appreciated!

Nice, can you help kmarcella work that into his code?
Well, the example that I post shows the Big Picture for doing what KMarcella wants to do, namely collect data periodically (like once a minute) and write all of the data, presumably one Excel row at a time, to an Excel Workbook.
The Original Poster has the best understanding of the details of the task, but here are some suggestions that should help him (or her!).
Divide the task into phases.
Initialization Phase -- set up DAQmx channels, define timing parameters, open Excel Workbook.
Loop (repetitive) Phase -- take a single reading, write a single row (or rows) into Excel, and wait for the next point.
Finalization Phase -- close DAQmx, save the Excel Workbook and Dispose Report.
Note that these phases are illustrated in the example -- there's stuff before the loop, the loop, and stuff after the loop.
Strive for compactness and simplicity. Try to fit it on a single screen (1280 by 1024) -- use sub-VIs where necessary to "encapsulate" (or "hide") the Messy Details.
Try to not use Express VIs. For example, a simple Wait to Next ms Multiple is much simpler, more compact, and intuitive than Elapsed Time. You are to be commended for using DAQmx calls directly.
I am completely befuddled by your use of the Dynamic Data Type. It looks very complicated, lots of extra wires, bloating the Block Diagram. It might be necessary (only you know the requirements of the task), but I suspect there is a simpler solution that works with the arrays of data directly.
However, that raises another question as to the nature of the data being collecting and the data being saved. I notice that you are sampling M channels, N samples (I don't know what M and N are), Am I correct that you are sampling way more points than you are writing to Excel? If you are only doing one write a minute, are you sampling faster than 1/minute? What are you doing with the other points?
The reason for the previous question is that my model of your task might be wrong! I'm assuming (and my code does this) that you sample periodically (one sample at a time) and write each sample to Excel. On the other hand, if you are sampling frequently and writing infrequently (say, sampling at 100Hz, maybe displaying the data, and writing a "representative point" every minute), then my model, with the writing in the same loop as the sampling, should probably be replaced with a Producer/Consumer pattern, where you "export" a point once a minute to a parallel "Write-to-Excel" loop.
Another possibly-helpful example is one I posted here about a year ago. If you go to the Search box and type the word Revised, the first entry that pops up should be my earlier post. I think it's a snippet -- try it out and adapt it to your problem (as far as formatting and structuring the page).

Problem building application using Report Generation Toolkit, LV 2011

I'm using LabVIEW 2011 under Windows 7.
I tried to use Application Builder to create an executable from a large body of code. One thing the application does is load VIs into a subpanel and run them.
Application Builder created the executable and gave no error message. The built application ran except that it couldn't run any of the dynamic VIs.
I finally succeeded in doing a screen grab on a transient dialog (about 1/10 sec. appearance). The dialog showed an attempt to load <vilib>:\Utility\NIReport.llb\NI_report.lvclass.
In one dynamic VI I commented out the call to the only VI that uses the Report Generation Toolkit (called only from dynamic VIs, all of which call it). Sure enough, when I built the application with that change and ran it, the dynamic VI that didn't invoke the Report Generation Toolkit did successfully load into the subpanel and run.
So, trying to prove to myself that that was the only problem, I wrote a VI that does nothing but load a VI into a subpanel and run it. User can choose one of two VIs: one that doesn't call the Report Generation Toolkit (or do much of anything), and one that does. Both VIs run fine standalone.
The not-much-of-anything VI loaded and ran in the subpanel. The other VI didn't--the same dialog, mentioned above, popped up for 1/10 second or less. Screen grab is attached.
When I included LVClass and NIReport.llb folders in the project (from vi.lib\Utility: Snapshot folders), and "Always Included" those folders (per a suggestion on this forum from a few years ago), the result was the same. The result was also the same when I included either one of those folders but not the other. Likewise it doesn't matter whether I add the dynamic VIs as "Always Included" or not.
Another piece of information that may be pertinent: when adding the NIReport.llb folder, I got a message that it was impossible to add a certain VI that's part of some report-type class, because a VI of that name already existed in the project. Screenshot of that dialog is also attached.
VIs and project file are also attached along with the two screenshots. I hardcoded VI paths, so put everything into C:\Testing if you want to see what the code does--or hack as desired, etc.
I will be deeply grateful for any help! And I apologize in advance if there's already some exact or close-enough solution posted--but I doubt there is. I looked around.
Thanks very much,
mws

Test-App-Build.zip ‏336 KB

Hi again,
If you extract all files in the original zip attachment to a folder called C:\Testing on a Windows 7 machine running LV 2011, and then use the build script within the project file to build the application, you can run the application and see what happens. You can also play around with the build parameters, rebuild, run, and see what happens then. You can also open my VIs and see what I'm doing.
The application lets you pick one of two dynamic VIs to run in a subpanel. One VI contains calls both to Report Generation VIs and some functions from the Advanced File Functions palette. The other VI does not.
When you pick the first VI to load and run (the one with the Report Generation and Advanced File Functions calls), it loads into the subpanel but is not executable.
When you pick the second VI to load and run, it does load into the subpanel and execute. So there's nothing wrong with the way I load and run a VI in the subpanel.
In the development environment, the whole thing runs with no problems.
Evidently the built application has problems resolving paths of something called by Report Generation VIs and by the Advanced File Functions I use.
I've done a lot of experimenting and no luck. I've looked in forum archives, etc. etc., for possible solutions. I'm hoping there's some simple solution I've missed.
Thanks very much for any help!

LV 2011 Report Generation Toolkit Constantly asks for 8.6.1 CD

I am having a strange issue.
Its a bit intermittant, so I will try my best to explain when it occurs.
-If I make a new project and run something from the report generation toolkit, I will get an installer from labview 8.6.1. I am running Labview 2011 and have never had 8.6.1 installed on this computer. It will spend about 3 minutes installing something, then demand a labview 8.6.1 CD.
-If I hit cancel it goes away for the project, until I restart the computer. It does not actually need the CD, it just asks for it. The VI containing the report subvi will execute fine, but if I open any of the front panels I get the installer message again.
-If I have run something that uses the report generation toolkit previously in this login session I do not encounter the bug.
-Restarting labview does not make it appear, only restarting the computer
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There are classes in the RGT that are loaded dynamically. You need to include the VIs in your build.
We found you should add the following two folders to your project and then force them to be in your EXE build.
<LabVIEW>\vi.lib\Utility\LVClass
<LabVIEW>\vi.lib\Utility\NIReport.llb
