Report Permissions -- Run existing reports but cannot read/create report

Hey everyone,
Hopefully this is a simple question. I'm trying to create a user in the RPD which has permission to run all the existing reports in a Shared folder and is able to change the filter criteria on those existing reports, however, the user cannot create any new reports or even view the subject areas.
I thought this would be a simple task, i.e. give user execute on the existing reports but no read permission on the subject areas, however, when I take away his read permission from the subject areas, he is unable to run the reports anymore.
Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?
Thanks in Advance!
-Joe

Joe,
I think you only need to give permission "Read" to the user/group.
Let me know if this helps.

Ability to schedule a report to run in background but No access to transact

Hi,
I want to give users ability to schedule a report to run in background but No access to transaction Sm37.
What can be the process/steps to work and morever if we do this is there any disadvantages that users
can face later...

Sorry, I misread your question - thinking that the report should only be run in the background.
I agree with the others (also about SMX and SMXX to display their own jobs, but not change them afterwards), but which report (tree) is this?
You can still give the user an ability to maintain a variant via transaction VARCH though (no execute possibility) . It will check S_PROGRAM p_action VARIANT or look for a user specific protection flag.
But then the user can submit it online as well from other transactions. That is why I thought you were looking for a way to run it as low priority in the background only.
Cheers,
Julius

My all reports are running very slow now, I am using Reports 6i?

Dear Friends,
My all reports are running very slow now, I am using Reports 6i. A few months ago there speed is better. Please suggest me the solution of this problem.
Best regards,
Shahzad

Get statspack/AWR running against your database and analyze the reports. 15 minutes interval between snaps should be enough.
That should give you a clue as to what is going wrong in your database.
Since you are saying that the reports speed was better a few months ago, it is possible that you are suffering from "data growth".

Adobe Acrobat 9 installed but cannot read any PDF file from a Browser window

I have a new(-ish) PC running Vista and had Adobe Acrobat v9 installed. However I cannot open PDF files when trying to view from a Browser on a web site. IE8, Firefox and Chrome all produce the same error that claims I need to install Adobe 8 or 9. Have searched "Manage add-ons" and found Adobe enabled. Have hunted around but cannot seem to find a way to fix this. Any ideas? This seems so fundamental that it is difficult to believe that (a) it happened in the first place and (b) that there is not an obvious way to fix it!

Are you on a PC with a profile setup?
Assuming you are,
Rename your profile to something like PROFILE.OLD and then relog into the PC. If the PDF's open without issue, you can remove the Abode folders in the old profile under Documents and Settings\%profile%\Application Data and Local Settings\Application Data.
Rename the new profile to yet something else like PROFILE.NEWOLD. Then rename your PROFILE.OLD to its original name. Confirm that you have removed the above folders from this existing profile. Perform MIGWIZ I.E. Export files and settings to a folder. Now rename the profiles so that the .NEWOLD is the active profile and run migwiz there - bringing in your old settings. These steps are only needed if you wish to preserve all the data and settings from your old profile.
Hope this helps!

Webi Reports - Object with id ... cannot be created because it has no name

I'm trying to launch a Webi report from our application using openDocument method. When the report is launched it fails with following error -
30567: Unable to save the document to the repository due to the following error: The object with id number '27731' cannot be created because it has no name. (Error: WIS 30567)
Before scheduling the report I'm calling setName method to set the name of the report but still it does not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Manas

Hi John,
I will try to give you some more background about this problem.
From our application we are not directly launching the report. We schedule it to run immediately and then view the instance created (using the instance id returned by the schedule call).
For scheduling we use the web services API (BIPlatform) and before scheduling we fetch all the prompts (again using a webservice API). The call is something like this -
WebiProcessingInfo wProcessingInfo = boWebIReport_.getWebiProcessingInfo();
After that we populate all the prompts with their corresponding values in application and schedule it. However the scheduling fails with the error I mentioned in the start of this thread and when we try to view it we are presented with a screen to enter prompts again.
From the scheduling error it looks like its failing because the name could not be set but I really doubt if thats the case. We use same calls to schedule and view Crystal reports also and they work perfectly. Only Webi is giving this error.
Thanks for looking into this.
Manas

Install Adobe Reader but cannot read PDF file

Hi all,
I am new and not familiar yet with forum so excuse me for a duplicate posting at
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.59b65e89/6
which is a thread "cannot install Adobe Reader". Since mine is a different problem, am transferring what I posted there into a new thread, which is as follows:
===============================
I cannot read PDF files with web browser so uninstalled and reinstalled with Adobe Reader 9
I still cannot read PDF file with web browser. After clicking on a link that is a link to a PDF file, I just get a blank page
Why and what can I do?

AOL used to have a lot of problems with PDFs, hope that has not returned. Anyway, the PDF was probably sent as a text file rather than encoded as a binary file. That would make it corrupt and is a problem on the senders end. Older versions of Outlook also had problems with PDFs that would cause a problem on your end.

I have a new Mac Air, updated the software, downloaded Pages & Numbers but cannot open .wps documents from friends. .wps is the format used by Microsoft Works word processor. Can anyone open .wps on Lion?

Only MsWorks opens .wps on the PC, what chance has Mac OSX got?

Report fails when run in Workspace, but it works in reporting studio

Hi all,
I have a bqy file which runs fine in the design studio client (v9.3) however when I import it into the Workspace and try and run it i get the following error :
An Interactive Reporting Service error has occurred.-SQL API: [SQLFetchScroll], SQL RETURN: [-1], SQL STATE: [HY010], SQL NATIVE ERROR: [0], SQL MESSAGE: [[DataDirect][ODBC lib] Function sequence error]
(2001)
The query was built from importing the SQL as below:
DECLARE @Fig1 int
DECLARE @i int
DECLARE skuCursor CURSOR FOR
Select r.QtyReceived / b.qty as Figure1
from ReceiptDetail r
inner join BillofMaterial b on b.SKU = r.Lottable03
where r.DateReceived > getdate() - 14
create table #TEMPIG (Test char(2),Median1 int)
OPEN skuCursor
FETCH NEXT FROM skuCursor INTO @Fig1
set @i = 0
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0
BEGIN
while @i < @Fig1
begin
insert into #TempIG (Test,Median1) values ('MV',@Fig1)
--print @Fig1
set @i = @i + 1
end
set @i = 0
FETCH NEXT FROM skuCursor INTO @Fig1
END
CLOSE skuCursor
DEALLOCATE skuCursor
--select cast(Median1 as Int) from #TEMPIG
--order by 1 asc
select
AVG(Median1) as MedianVal
from
select Median1,
ROW_NUMBER() over (partition by Test order by Median1 ASC) as MedRank,
COUNT(*) over (partition by Test) as MedCount
from
#TEMPIG
) x
where
x.MedRank in (x.MedCount/2+1, (x.MedCount+1)/2)
drop table #TEMPIG
Could anyone explain what is wrong and how to put it right.
Many Thanks in advance.

Hi,
OCEs the same? Yes
Client drivers the same? Yes
DAS connection information set up same as desktop connection information Yes
The server which workspace runs is on Linux, but the reporting studio client runs on windows desktops, this is the only difference i know off.
I have chopped and changed things whilst testing this report and it appears that the fault relates to the Cursor and the navigation (Fetch) through the records.
This is starting to drive me around the bend.
Please do come back to me if you have any ideas.
Many thanks in advance.
Ian.

Why same query runs on isqlplus but not in Forms/Reports trigger

Hi,
I have one query in which I extract one column with parent table join if I run same query on isqlplus prompt it works but if I run same on Forms/Reports trigger it says found "select" where something else expected.
below is an example .
select em1.mreading, em1.grid_code,
(select em.mreading from energy_mreading em where em.grid_code=em1.grid_code and em.transformer_code=em1.transformer_code
and em.bus_bar=em1.bus_bar and to_date(to_char(em.r_date,'dd/mm/yyyy'),'dd/mm/yy') = to_date('02/01/07' ,'dd/mm/yy') - 1)
as Yreading
from energy_mreading em1
where to_date(to_char(em1.r_date,'dd/mm/yyyy'),'dd/mm/yy')= to_date('02/01/07' ,'dd/mm/yy')
Any one can help me, is there any restriction/limitations in Forms/Reports triggers.
Thanks, Khawar.

In forms and cursors you can not use scalar subqueries as you do. You have to use joins!
select
     em1.mreading
    ,em1.grid_code
    ,em.mreading as Yreading
from
    energy_mreading em1
   ,energy_mreading em
where 1=1
    and trunc(em1.r_date) = to_date('02/01/2007','dd/mm/rrrr')
    and em.grid_code = em1.grid_code
    and em.transformer_code = em1.transformer_code
    and em.bus_bar = em1.bus_bar
    and trunc(em.r_date) = trunc(em1.r_date) - 1
Try this, hope it works.

Report region runs very slow, but its sql runs fast

We have a page with a report region Type :SQL Query (plsq function body returning sql query) which runs very slow, pegging the tach on our db box for almost a minute before returning report rows. However, if we run the generated sql from sql plus, it returns all the rows in under 10 seconds with nary a blip on the box. Any idas how what could be causing this or how to debug?
Thanks,

Superdrive can read and burn dvds but CANNOT read or burn CDs??

My DVR-107D can read and burn DVD's, but all of a sudden it cannot even read or mount a cd. It also cannot burn CD's. I've run 2 cleaning discs, and even manually cleaned the lens. I feel it may be a software issue at this point... Any ideas?? Finder is set to open CDs and DVDs to the desktop.

Hi
There are two lenses in the drive. It is possible for one to fail while the other still functions. I manually cleaning the lenses made no difference, it is quite possible that aspect of the drive is dead.
You may want to try from a different admin User account (and with a third party app such as Toast, in addition to Finder, iTunes, iPhoto, Disc Utility)

Can see shared CD drives on MBA, but cannot read any data from disks

Puzzling one here.
Have a MBA and am trying to use the shared drives on either a Windows XP computer, or MacBookPro notebook. Both computers are on the same wireless network, and both computers have DVD/CD sharing enabled.
In the RemoteDisk shortcut on the MBA, I can see both computers and their shared drives, and I can even see the title of the disks that are in the drives, however, I cannot see any of the data on the disks. It tells me 0MB at the bottom of the window.
The MBA has all updates installed, and I even tried to manually install the RemoteDisk/Sharing update from Apple.
I found this post, and tried the commands in Terminal, but that did not help: http://jasonevangelho.com/2008/11/02/how-to-really-enable-remote-disc-dvd-drive- sharing-non-air-macbook/
Any idea's?

Oh yeah, I forgot to say that the wireless router is a Time Capsule.

New macbook air recognizes my external hard drive, but cannot read it

I recently bought a new Macbook Air about 3 weeks ago and I'm trying to access files that I have on my external hard drive. The macbook recognizes that there is an external drive, but when I click on it, the finder window is empty and it shows that there are no files on the drive. When I plug it back into my old Macbook pro (purchased in 2007, running Lion 10.7.5 ) I can access all of my files just fine. Also, a little while ago, while the drive was connected to the new laptop it ejected itself and gave me the prompt saying that the disk had been ejected incorectly. I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the disk because I did have to run disk repair on it once since it bricked. Or is it not compatible with this new macbook? I don't really want to shell out more money to buy a new disk, are there any programs I can install or new USB cables I can try? the disk is a Seagate 500GB portable expansion drive.

Hi Beth!
1) You need to plug the phone in with your USB cable. If for some reason it doesn't sync automatically, try clicking on the name of your phone in your lefthand menu of iTunes, and it'll bring you to a homepage of sorts for your phone.
2) From there, you should be able to click on "sync" at the bottom right of the page. Or you may have to go to the individual parts of your phone (where it says "music," "apps," etc. at the top of the page), and enable those to sync on each individual page.
3) That should do it, but you can always go back to that homepage from step 1 and click "sync" or "apply" once more to be sure everything syncs over.
If you've done this already, can you explain where you're seeing a red circle on your iPhone? Usually those red circles let you delete something if you click on them. For instance, if you want to delete an app, you hold your finger down on it for a moment and then the red circle appears so you can click again to delete.
Hope this helps you!
