Report generation from BI with HUGE data base.

Dear All
Can anyone gimme solution for problem given below ?
I am trying to generate Customer / Vendor related report from BI. Data base is too too big. Whenever i try to generate report, system gets hanged and report does not get generated.
Need help in this.
Regards
Ramesh Barve

Hi Ramish,
Not enough info...
What verison of Crystal Reports are you using?
Are you sure it's hanging and you simply have to wait for the report to generate? If there are millions of records being returned and client side or second pass filtering/formatting it can take time to render that report.
Are there any errors being reported? CR will apeear to be hung, it's simply waiting for the database to start streaming the data back and appears to be not responding.
If you add record selection filtering does that retunr data?
WHY are you returning that much data? It can't possibly be of any use to anyone. Do not use CR as a database archiving tool.

Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office 2013 and LabVIEW 2012

Hello community,
on this page there is shown the Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office and LabVIEW.
In our company we use actually LabView 2012 and it works perfectly with MS Office 2010.
Has anyone ever tried the "Report Generation Toolkit" of LabVIEW 2012 with MS Office 2013? Does it really not work? Has anyone an emirical value for this topic?

Hi digital_badger,
as you sure have seen in the link it is not officially supported by NI, which means to you one of the following things:
1. You could upgrade your LabVIEW and your Report Gerneration Toolkit to Version 2014 and use MS Office 2013
2. You could just try it with MS Office 2013 which might work but if it's not working you don't get any support from NI.
Even if someone tried it already and it worked for him does not mean that it will work on your machines. It is possible that on some of your machines it could work but not on others. Their can be a lot of problems while playing around with unsupported setups.
3. You could leave your setup as it is and stick to your MS Office 2010.
I hope I could give you a good answer to your question

I need to be able to print or export some photos from iPhoto with the date the photos were taken. Need this for a legal case. Any suggestions?

I need to be able to print or export some photos from iPhoto with the date the photos were taken. Need this for a legal case. Any suggestions?

The date they were taken us in the EXIF data and is included in the export
However it is trivial to modify it so I doubt that it would hold water in court

Report doest get refreshed with updated data

Hi All,
I am facing a strange problem, where my report doest get refreshed with updated data when it’s called second time.
1.     Screen1 – Preview option – Preview Screen
2.     Preview Screen – Print option (Button) – Report generated and displayed in the IE Browser window with a dynamically generated PIN (Query written in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger)
3.     Screen2 is displayed in the backend
4.     Screen2 – Cancel option – Screen1
5.     Screen1 – Preview option – Preview Screen
6.     Preview Screen – Print option (Button) – Report generated and displayed in the IE Browser window with a same PIN as in step2. Actually here the Query written in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger generates a new PIN.
7.     When checked in the backend this new PIN is updated, but the same is not displayed on the Report. That means to say that report is not refreshed. When I click on the refresh button in the IE Browser window explicitly, the report is refreshed and displays the PIN as found in the backend.
What I expect is that the report should get refreshed automatically with a new PIN, when I choose Print option in Preview Screen.
Can anybody help me in overcoming this challenge?
Regards,
SAM

Hi All,
What i did was i encoded the PIN and sent it as a paramter to call the report.
In the report i decoded the PIN and printed it. This way my URL to call the report was always updated with the decoded PIN value and would refresh the page successfully, everytime its called.

Only a connection with the data base

I have an application MDI - opening of some windows at the same time.
I use framework ADF Oracle - Swing/ADF JClient.
For each new JInternalFrame a BindingContext (bootstrap) is servant, with this a new connection in the data base is created. Already I tried to use the same, but generally an action in a screen intervenes with the other.
How I can make this (application MDI - ADF) only having a connection in the database?
Thank you!!!

If I have only one connection with
the Data Base, two threads can't to request the data
in the same time?.If two threads use the same database connection at the same time, bad things will happen. That is why each thread must use its own database connection. The easiest way to make that happen is to have a pool of connections.

Creating a Crystal Report from a non-SAP data base

I have the following scenario
server1\myDataBase
server1\SAP\sapDataBases
in sapDataBases I have about 30 company databases. I am trying to create a report, that gets informatino from a table/view/SP from server1\myDataBase, when I try to PREVIEW or SAVE such report on SAP Business One, I always get errors as
I understand that this eerror means taht I can't invoke the data from out of SAP; it needs to be inside SAP (at least the SP, incoking some other data bases and stuff..)
Some bodies have told me that it is beacuase I can only create a report from a table/view/sp that resides in the running/currently SAP company database. Is this right?
Also, If this is the case, this means that If I have an SP taht I use for a crystal report, and 30 companies, I have to create such SP in the 30 companies?
This is my software details:
SQL Server 2012
SAP Business One 9 PL 11
SAP BusinessObjects Crystal Reports 2013 Support Pack 2 version 14.1.2.1121
What I want to do is to create a non-SAP data base to create all the SPs/Views for reports, to centralize it, and the just create one reporte and do the 30-imports in each company database, without the need of creating such sps/views in each company-database. Is this possible?
Thanks

Moved to Integration Kit forum.
The people in this forum will know more about the data structure than the CR Design forum which typically doesn't know much about the SAP Data sources Structure.

Misalignement in Excel sheet,while downloading reports with huge data

Hi,
While downloading reports in excel with huge volume of data ,we are getting misalignments in the excel sheet(some data comes in wrong rows). Can you please suggest what could be the reason and how to correct it.
Regards,
Roopak

Hi,
If you are using Office 2003, then you cannot download morethan 65000+. However if you use Office 2007, I think it gives you somewhere around 400000 records. (I didnt scroll below that!!!). Also the columns are morethan IV.
However assuming that, even that version can have limitation, you can always download your data in a wordpad/notepad/textpad etc which are basically text editing tools. They dont have any such row or column restrictions.
Once downloaded, you can randomly split them into some x number of files, based on the number of records and then open the same documents using xls sheet using tab value as delimiter. Now the alignment will be perfect in the excel sheet.

Report generation toolkit problem with office 2000 and office XP

Hello, I am having a problem with running my vi after it is compiled with application builder. The dev machine is an XP box and the targer is windows 2000. I included _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi and _Word Dynamic VIs.vi from the office 2000 section of the install cd (for the report toolkit) in the compile but did not include those files for XP. When I run the application on the target machine (2000), the reporting functions call Excel just fine and the program does not come up with any errors. The program however, is not loading the approprate template and inserting the approprate data. Did I leave some neccessary files out of the compile? Thanks in advance!

Hi Acer,
The recommended procedure in your case is to install Microsoft Office 2000 on the development machine and then reinstall the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit. When the toolkit is installed, it will check for the current version of Office and install the corresponding VIs to support it. The VIs include different ActiveX calls according to the version of Office. Therefore it is not enough to change the support manually without having the correct version of Office installed first.
However, I would recommend that you just try to run your executable on a machine that has Office 2000 installed. The difference in the ActiveX API for Office XP and 2000 is not that significant, so your application might work perfectly on an Office 2000 machine. If you try to run the executable on a machine with Office 97 installed I'm willing to bet my right arm that you will experience errors.
Good luck Acer!

Report Generation Toolkit failure with Win 7 and Labview 2013

I recently had my computer updated to Windows 7 and am now seeing a problem with the Report Generation toolkit (version 2013) when working with Excel files. If I try to run the New Report.vi with report type Excel selected I get error -2146777998. Doing the same thing with Word selected eventually opens Word, although this takes about ten seconds, but it does not generate an error. Selecting Standard Report or HTML also run without errors.
I've researched this error on line but I keep ending up .NET and C# forums where everything goes over my head. Has anybody got any suggestions?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I found the solution to this particular source of error code -2146777998. There are two template files that reside in C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2013\templates\Report by the name of MSOffice_RGT_Template.dot and MSOffice_RGT_Template.xlt. The problem came down to that these templates got corrupted somehow during the fresh install. As soon as I replaced them with versions from another machine the problem disappeared.
Just as a side note, I discovered the problem by kicking off the MS Office Report Express vi and out came a much clearer message that aimed me at the templates. Not quite sure why that message isn't echoed into the individual subvi's on the pallette, but life is a mystery.

Does Crystal Report XI R2 comes with Crystal Data Object (CDO)

Hi,
Does anyone knows if installation of crystal reports include Crystal Data Object (CDO) ? From the article(http://www.dataaccess.com/kbasepublic/KBPrint.asp?ArticleID=2183) it seems like it doesn't comes with the standard installation package in Crystal Report XI R2. Please advise. Thanks =)
Regards.

You need to pick "Crystal Data Objects" from the list of Data Access options offered by Crystal Reports when you are installing it -- that item is not selected by default.
To add that to your machine:
- Open Add/Remove Programs
- Select Crystal Reports 11 and click on the Change button
- Expand the tree under "Data Access"
- Select "Crystal Data Objects" and click on it
- Select it to be installed -- you will probably need your Crystal Reports CD to proceed with the installation.

Report file name error with Chinese Date format

Hello,
I am seeing an error at
step Write UUT report in the standard model files. This step is
calling the API method save on the object Runstate.Report.
The issue occurs on computers using chinese localization with the date in the report file name.
Is this a known issue? Is there a way to modify the filename before calling the above method to eliminate the problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

An Error Message is attached.
WE have seen this on both Vista and XP. We are using TestStand version 4.1.1. I am not sure about the localization, but I have seen this on computers from Taiwan, Korea and Japan.
If I put a breakpoint in the Model file at the Write UUT Report Step, you can see Chinese Characters in the time portion of the file name.
If you change the report name to not include the time and date, the error does not occur.
We have seen this with ASCII and xml. With XML, the error also occurs at the step "Add Root Tags to XML Report"

Report Generation from Multiple Facts

I am looking at the options to generate reports based on facts with different grains. The requirement I present here is generic and Im exploring options on this.
Lets say we have two facts fact1 and fact2. The common column between these facts is named - common_column
Now as the grain is different at any point of time, the report generates the data based inline with following SQL
SELECT fact1.column_1, fact1.common_column , aggregate_fun(fact2.column_2 group by fact2.common_column ) from....
Options
*1. Creating a third fact* - A straight forward solution is to create a fact3 and store all the info the report needs
*2. Using fx in OBIEE report* - Use an expression to get the desired output using fx
Do you have any better options that you would suggest to meet this ?
Thanks

I understand what you are speaking about. Not sure if that would stop us down the name but as of now, my requirement is slightly different hence I believe it should work fine.
Did you refer any good article that shows us how to create logical tables and use it ?
I created a logical table with the two facts as the sources and try to save it. It fails with consistency check and My_Logical_Table. does not join to any other logical table.
Do I need to create two logical tables in my case one for the first fact and one the second fact and use them.. ?
Apparently I wasnted to create a single logical table with the sources as fact1 and fact2 so that it shows the segregated data in one logical view. Any thoughts ?

Word report generation toolkit error with Win 7 LabVIEW 2013, Word2010

Hi All
I'm seeing different Errors using the Report generation toolkit. Maybe you can help me with that.
The errors are:
-2147417846, application is busy in Word_Get_range.vi
-2146824090 Exception in Microsoft word: Befehl misslungenHelp Path is wdmain11.chm and context ...
-2147417846 application is busy in Word_Quit.
the error messages are attached to the post.
I'm testing 10 sensors with one application and want to run up to 5 applications on one computer. Since I'm seeing such errors as application is to busy I set all my report generation vi's as non-reentrant execution and additionally added some pause after each word modification.
But I'm still seeing such errors when I run two applications on one computer.
What is the best way to deal with these errors?
thanks
best regards
Urs

How can I make a report of all records with the date in the last two weeks?

Hi!
I have records with a date field, I want to create a report that only includes records with a date which is within the last two weeks of the system date, is this possible? Surely this is a basic database function, I would have thought, but I can find no help about it and there's very little in Mac Help about doing anything other than simple stuff with reports.
I'm not a genius with databases, so help with any required formula or what have you would be great!

Hi Jonathan,
Here's a formula you can use with the Match function. 'Date' is the name of the date field, which must be a "Date" type field.
'Date'>NOW()-14
Match will select (highlight) all records matching the query. You'll then need to use Organize > Hide Unselected to show only the matches.
Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to make the NOW() function work in a Find request, and neither Match requests nor Hide Unselected can be included in a recorded search, either of which would reduce repeating the report to a one-button operation.

Barry

BPEL with TWO data base polling adapters????

Hi,
Can some one tell, Is it possible to have two data base polling adapters in one BPEl process??
What I am trying to do is , simultaneoulsy polling two independent data base tables in one bpel with two receive activities, but it did not work as BPEl should have only one start activity.
Please post your ideas , if we can achive this.
Thanks,
Kumar

So, are you trying to detect the fact that two different rows in two different tables were both inserted? If so are they related some how? Are they parent child? Is one guaranteed to appear before the other?
I'm thinking two processes with database adapters that in turn call a third process which has two receives which are connected via a correlation set.
Another solution would be database triggers that look for the existence of both rows before inserting into a third table -- this third table would drive the database adapter.
