Report Layout Not Previewing...

Hey Guys -
I've been working on this report for hours and I can't seem to figure out why my report is not printing to the screen. In oracle reports 10g and it seems like no matter how I change this report, I can't get it to preview through the paper layout viewer. I don't understand why. I've written reports way more sophisticated than this report, and I've had no problems. This report has 11 fields from a query, which is embedded in 1 repeating frame. It seems like the repeating frame is what is keeping everything from printing - if I take away all the fields, and delete the repeating frame, the basic layout of the report shows when running in in paper layout previews.
Any ideas guys? I'm fresh out of them... Thanks in advance!

I've checked to see if the query runs outside of report builder and it does - it was one of the first things i've checked. I've even gone as far as hard coding the parameters and still, no luck. What view property are you talking about for the repeating frame? I just looked and couldn't find that property. What is the exact name of the property, and how do I get to it?

SSRS 2008 - report layout not updating after uploading new version

So I changed the layout from portrait to landscape on a report, uploaded it again (marking it to be overwritten), but when doing a print preview or actually printing the report to the printer or pdf, the layout has not changed. Is something being cached?
I even deleted the report and uploaded again, still the same thing.
suggestions?
[edit]
I looked oln the 'Execution' tab of the report in ReportManager, and the radio button for "always run this report with the most recent data" was selected.

Disregard... duh, I was loading them from a previous folder that had older reports in it. Nothing like stupid user error to waste an hour.
Note:
Make sure you know where your loading your RDL files from

Hi All,
I have long report with 80 columns. When I developed in Dev eneviron ment I made it A0 with Landscape as page layout. With these setting I am able to get first 54 columns in first page ,remaining columns in 2nd page.

Please help what are the additonal setting that I need to verify at CMC/server level.

Is this an issue from a custom application, or is it within InfoView/CMC?
I suspect that you have different printer drivers installed on each machine which will lead to formatting/page size issues.

Text in layout and preview screens are different and CSS changes are not registering

I am new to designing web sites and I am using GoLive CS. Things have been going pretty smoothly, but now I have noticed a problem. When laying out my site pages, I am having problems with the text. I have inserted a layout text box and created a general CSS for my main content.
I have selected 11 px for my font size and 14 px for my line height. But when I make any changes to these values, the chages appear in my layout view, but when I preview the spacing is off (the line height is extremely tight). Why is this and how can I fix it? Also no matter what text I type, the layout view and the preview view are always off, is there any way to fix this?

Hi Kim - layout view is there just to give you an approximation of where things are in your layout, not a reliable representation of how it will be rendered in the browser. Actually, same goes for Preview. In your layout/design, you have to allow for some variance in font size and presentation since the site will be viewed on multiple platforms, browsers, environments, etc. You can get close by specifying font and line height in pixels, as you have, but it's still just "close".
If your layout relies heavily on absolutely positioned elements (Layers, Grids, etc.) then this can become a problem... one of the big reasons to avoid both.

Unable to view Report Layout in Web Preview

Hi All,
I am facing some intermittent issues with some Hyperion FR Reports on Workspace.Whenever I am trying to see the HTML view of the report it simply shows the POV and no report Layout,the complete page is blank white whereas other reports are working fine.
Even when I am trying to open it with Studio and then trying to see its web preview then also it is showing me the same behaviour.
Thanks

Hello Mehmet,
I think you are correct as it seems the user with which I was tryoing to run the report didnt have access on Dimensionality because when I tried with a different user I was bale to see the data.
There is another issue which I am facing related to the Relative Memeber function in Essbase.I am trying to extract the Previous Year from the POV selected member using RelativeMember function in Essbase but it is giving me error as [None]Member selected in the report however the same function is giving me results when I use it in Planning connection.
Any advice?

Report layout in french not displaying french characters properly

Hello,
I have a report layout that I have created with a 3rd party tool (j4ldesigner). All it has on it is one label (displaying a couple of french characters as a test
). Within APEX I have created a test report layout and imported it as a named column report layout type. I then created a very simple report query and associated it with the test layout. When I run the test report, the layout launches but the characters éâ appear as Ã©Ã¢.
So I'm thinking this has to do with language somehow. I have other reports which are generic named column reports, but those are manually entered and seem to work fine. The named column layout is imported, and I'm assuming some sort of conversion is happening where those special french language characters are concerned.
The fact is this is a 11.2.0.3 database. I was assuming the language set would use the standard language librariy files which come with 11G (ie $ORACLE_HOME/nls/data) so I wouldn't have an issue. Since it is not working, do I need to use the language files associated with 9idata? Or is there an init.ora parameter I am missing?

Hello,
Within APEX I have created a test report layout and imported it as a named column report layout type.Make sure the Report Layout File is in UTF-8 encoding. Most of the times, the issue is with file encoding type.
If you use text editors like [url http://notepad-plus-plus.org]notepad++ you can see and convert from one encoding to other.

Report Layout is not same for excel and odf

I have a footer created in my report layout
When i export the report to pdf it displays at the end of the page but when I export it to an excel
the footer displays just below my report data and not at the end
Should there be a different layout for pdf's and excel's

The order of extracted records can no be assumed to be constant, any SQL optimizer can change behavior, even without any wide upgrade, but a single database or kernel patch as well as many operation of database administrator can change the order, as well as a change of user behavior, if they fill now another field in selection. So it is good practices to always sort (or use sorted type) internal table extracted or use a ORDER BY clause (provided there is an index in database, else do not)
Read online documentation of SELECT statement clause ORDER BY
The order of the rows in the result set refers to all columns that are not listed after ORDER BY, is undefined, and can be different in repeated executions of the same SELECT statement.
There are also some [MANY > 1000] OSS notes on the subject (look for your database, e.g. 1858427 - Incorrect Sorting of SQL-Select Statement, 1859655 - The result set of an SQL-Select Statement may not be sorted, 1858479 - Result set of select statement is not sorted, 1858569 - Incorrect access to result set of SELECT statement, etc.)
Also if you sort an internal table and require records with same key values to keep their respective order, use the STABLE clause.

Raymond

Bex Report Designer is not previewing changes in QA

Hi All,
Please help... i am getting an unusual problem with bex report designer. I have created a bex report using report designer. This was then transported in to QA. In QA i opened my created report using report designer and clicked the print version button to preview the report in PDF format. This all worked correclty, however i noticed a spelling mistake in one of the custom text fields i am using.
So i put the report in a transport in dev, made the changes in dev and previewed in dev. Everything is ok here and i can see the change i made.
After this i transported the report to QA and when i open the report in report designer to preview the data i can see in design mode that the custom text field does HAVE the change i made so it is correct. The problem i am getting is though when i preview to see in PDF format the image i get is of the old preview with the spelling mistake.
SInce i have made more changes and i can see the changes in DEV and in QA in design mode but when i preview it shows me the old image from the 1st preview.
Please can anyone shed any light into this issue.
Kind regards
Forhad

Oracle bi publisher report for apex - Report Layout

Hi There,
Navigation: Home>Application Builder>Application 20>Shared Components>Report Layouts
I created rtf template for a Report Query. It worked fine upto certain point.
However at some point, if I make a minor modification to the layout it is not displaying all the data that it is supposed to.
I have 3 tables in my RTF template 1) Header 2) Details 3) Summary. Details section has a group. This runs fine.
Now if I just combine all the above 3 tables into one by adding row above and row below to the "2) details" table and moving the table 1 and table 3 into those rows, makes the data in the group in table 2 disappear when run on the apex application.
However it works fine when data is loaded on the RTF template and Preview --> PDF is seen.
Is it a known bug? Because some of my coleagues has same issues.
Thanks
Krishna

Are those fields in the corresponding report query? change to the design of the document? did you delete the old template and re-upload after making the changes?
Moreover the preview on the RTF template works fine with the same data.Preview from where?

Importing Crystal Report layout for customer statements

Hello,
I have imported a crystal report layout to use for the customer statements when running them from the ageing report. The problem is even if we only select one business partner in the ageing report, when we print preview the statement it displays statements for all business partners - this is because in the crystal report there are no parameters. I know that when you import a layout like this for other documents you need to use for example, {ORDR.DocEntry}={DocKey@} as the parameter however the customer statements don't have a docentry. When I look at the system statement layout (collection layout), when you run the report you get an ADO.NET (XML) connection prompt. Is it possible to use the crystal layout i have for the customer statements but for only the customer(s) showing on the ageing report?
Many thanks,
Kate

So just to make it clear,
you want an overview of open invoices from 1 customer.
If so, try this in crystal reports :
Create a parameter field (field explorer)
Name : CardName
Type : String
Value : Static
do not select a value field (none)
press ok.
Select expert
Create new
Starts with
type this : {?CardName}
press add
Click formula editor and make it look like this :
{OINV.DocStatus} = "o" and
{OINV.CardName} startswith {?CardName}

Crystal Report Layout asking for Login Info

I have modified the Delivery Note Crystal Report Layout for Business One by clicking the Edit button on the Report and Layout Manager for Delivery Note (Items). I then saved my modifications to a file. Finally, I go into Business One and import the Layout for Delivery Note (Items). When I preview the Layout it asks me for login information then continues to fail. How dow I make it so I can print the Delivery without having to constantly log in?

Hi Jeff,
I recently had a similar problem on an 8.82 implementation, having contacted and spoken to SAP Support multiple times these suggested fixes worked:
The request to login to the database when you open or print preview a Crystal
report is a known issue. To resolve this, I recommend you go through our Root
Cause Analysis (RCA) guide. Please see attac hed Note 1676353 on where to find
this. There are four Cases in this guide (which contain a number of Influences)
- please go through all Cases and Influences.
We also tried the following:
STEP 1:
Influence 2: Case 2 is to clear all the data for login (e.g. sa and
password - delete them) and then ticked 'Integrated Security#.
- Influence
3: #: Check the current datasource is to update connection.
- Retest opening
the system reports on a workstation.
- If they are still reporting an error
try the next step
- STEP 2:
- Change the datasource location of
the report from OLE DB to SAP Business One type and leave the
authentication
information blank. Try running the report in Crystal, and then import to SAP.
And also opened up the Crystal Report via the Edit button in SAP in Reports and Layouts Manager, we then clicked on the database connection and updated all the tables (even though they were the same) and these got the reports needed working. Speaking to SAP it is a known bug and they are releasing a hotfix to resolve it, but try explaining that to a customer !!!
Hope these help.

Sean

Crystal Report Layout

Hi Expert.
I created a report layout in crystal report that I will be attaching in an add-on program which is a document type for report viewing via PLD. However, as i was setting up my layout in the report layout manager, I cannot point my layout in the document addon that I created.
Is there a way to add my addon in the list of modules in the report layout manager?

No it is not possible.
What you can do: import you crystal layout as "normal report" and active the menu when you would like to print out the document. You can pass parameters, and show the print preview. then you can click on print button via code.

AR aging report does not print alphabetically by customer name in 8.8

AR aging report does not print alphabetically by customer name in version 8.8.
It is possible to create a custom layout for the receivables aging summary report (to print alphabetically by BP name) to overcome this problem. However, itu2019s not possible for the u201Cdetailed receivables aging reportu201D or u201Ccustomer statement reportu201D.
Why has SAP changed this functionality? In version 2007 SAP takes the order of the rows set on the screen unless other order is specified in the layout.
How can we make the u201Cdetailed receivables aging reportu201D and u201Ccustomer statement reportu201D print alphabetically by customer name?
Steps to reproduce:
Business partners > Business partner reports > Aging > customer receivables aging
Doubleclick on customer name to sort it in alphabetical order.
Click on preview and select u201Creceivables aging summary reportu201D.
The system layouts do not print by customer name in alphabetical order.
Click on preview and select u201Cdetailed receivables aging reportu201D. The system layouts do not print by customer name in alphabetical order.
Also, customer statement report does not print by customer name in alphabetical order.
In SAP 2007 versions, when a marketing document or aging report is printed, SAP takes the order of the rows set on the screen unless other order is specified in the layout.
In SAP 8.8 although it works the same way for marketing documents, it doesnu2019t work like this for Aging reports.
I was able to change the order for the u201CReceivables Aging Summary Reportu201D only. We cannot overwrite a System report, I had to create a new layout called: u201CBusiness Partner Aging (Summary) (Alphabetically Sorted)u201D.
I couldnu2019t set up the order based on BP Name for the other 2 options: Detailed Receivables Aging Report and Customer Statement Report (One page per Customer).
Iu2019ve checked print settings and properties, and I donu2019t see any way of changing the default order for these reports.

Reported it to SAP support + they plan to fix it in a future patch.

Report & Layout Manager

Hi,
I have created User defined form. Now i have to display report when click on Preview button (Same as Standard document).
Can we use report & layout manager to display report.

Hello
possible with development, and it is pending from the B1 version.
Easy solutions are:
- 8.81 you can use Crystal Reports and PLD
- 2007 you can use PLD only or CR integration addon
in Crystal:
- You can create your layout and you can import into the system as report (not layout) into a specific folder
- When you press the print or print preview button (eg menu action is indicated, menu id "520", "519"), then you can find the crystal report in the OCMN table with the following query
select MenuUID from OCMN where Name = N'YOUR_REPORT_NAME'
- next step is call the report with ActivateMenuItem and fill the parameters.
Complete code for crystal
            Dim oRs As SAPbobsCOM.Recordset = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.BoRecordset)
            Dim sQuery As String
            Dim sMenuID As String
            sQuery = "select MenuUID from OCMN where Name = N'YOUR_REPORT_NAME"
            oRs.DoQuery(sQuery)
            If oRs.Fields.Count > 0 Then
                sMenuID = oRs.Fields.Item("MenuUID").Value.ToString
                m_SBO_Application.ActivateMenuItem(sMenuID)
                Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form = SBO_Application.Forms.ActiveForm
                oForm.Items.Item("1000003").Specific.String = docentry
                m_CrystalCriteriaFormID = oForm.UniqueID
                oForm.Items.Item("1").Click(BoCellClickType.ct_Regular)
            Else : m_SBO_Application.MessageBox("NO PRINTING LAYOUT EXISTS!")
            End If
In PLD, the logic is the same, but you must activate the User Queries print layout, and locate the report in the matrix.

János
