Report printing w/ BI Publisher and group by data

I'm attempting to test BI Publisher for use here and am seeing a problem. It seems that when I have a report query that uses a group by clause, I get an empty report in BI Publisher. It works fine for non-group by stuff. Am I not supposed to do group by/ summaries in the underlying query? I'd just much rather do it there than in the APEX report...

I believe the closest you will get is using FOP. BI Publisher can NOT deal with the interactive portion of the IR reports. You need a static rtf file to build BI Publisher reports and with the IR reports ability to add/drop columns and such, it is NOT possible to do it at this time..
Thank you,

Generate report to show all users and groups in Shared Services in EPM 11x

Hi,
Is there any way to generate a report (like a migration report or job status report) which can be generated through workspace/shared services 11.1.1.3 so that my admin can look at all the users and groups created. Something that I can view and probably print out? Any suggestions?
~Adeeba

Yes, I knew this one. This basically shows me the users and groups assigned specific provision access. Is there any way to view a report that shows which users and groups have access to dimensions of an individual planning application?

International SSRS report printing for both A4 and Letter

I've been reading a few articles on the net about making reports either A4 or Letter and I am aware of how to change the layout of the page to be specific for either
The problem we have is that we have some users that use A4 paper, and other users that use Letter size paper.
We would ideally like the user to press the print button from the browser window (note not exported to PDF) and for the report to be printed off on their favourite printer
We have modified the layout to be the lowerst common denominator size (210mm x 279mm). When we print to our printer which uses A4 paper, it errors because the paper size is odd and needs confirmation to use A4 instead. I am making the assumption
that using a printer with Letter size has the same problem.
We do not want our users to have to deal with errors on their printer every time they try to print a report, it doesn't look good. We don't want to write 2 versions of each of our reports as that will be time consuming and a maintenance nightmare
Has anyone managed to make SSRS reports printer agnostic or at least be able to print out on either A4 or Letter without additional intervention on the printer?
Tony

Hi Tony,
What version of SSRS are you using? Are you seeing this from the Report Viewer control or Report Manager?
In my Report Manager, when I try to print a report (SSRS 2008 R2), the Layout defaults to Letter. When I look at the report (RDL) property in BIDS, the PageSize property is set to 8.5in (Width), 11in (Height), which refers to PageWidth and PageHeight respectively.
The following blog explains these properties:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bwelcker/archive/2005/08/19/alien-lanes-_2800_logical-and-physical-pagination-rules_2900_.aspx
In SSRS 2005, for the Report Viewer control, due to a VS 2005 issue, we had a situation where it would not allow custom paper size. By modifying the report page size to the exact Letter size (279.4mm = 11 inches), for example, we would be able to see the
Letter size in that situation. This should be fixed on and after SSRS 2005 SP2.
In general, after rendering a report, Reporting Services sends the height and width information to the printer driver when we try to print a report, which selects the appropriate paper type based on the report size.
In my test, when I tried to print, it chose Letter with Portrait Orientation. I was able to change it to A5 from the Print Dialog and was able to print in both ways (A5/Letter) without any error message.
Thanks,

Problem in taking the average of a column and grouping by date

Hi all,
I created a logical column using a formula in "Administration". The formula is like;
Duration%=(Duration*100)/(X-Y).
Then, in "answers", I created a report using Duration% column and another column which is its average. I want to see the average of Duration% values grouped by date.
The numbers in the report are incorrect. What can be the reason for this? Does using logical column which is derived with a formula cause a problem when we take its average?
Thanks in advance for your help..

use avg(Duration% by <"Date Table"."Date Level"> in the answers column.
substitute "Date Table" with your actual time dimension table name, and "Date Level" with your actual date column that you want to group by.

Splitting and grouping of data from incoming string

Hello,
I have a package of data coming from the serial port and read out as a string.
The package has the following format, to be short.
1. opening characters
2. 2 bytes for Group ID(identify the device# the data comes from).
3. Sensors data belongs to device# (1 byte each)
-data of sensor #1
-data of sensor #2
-data of sensor #3
-data of sensor #4
and loop back to sensor 1,2,3,4 for 20 bytes total.
I have eliminated the opening characters with the replace substring with empty string. For the Group ID, I used a case structure to identify which device it is. For the sensor data, I need to split them up and group all the data of the sensors together. I tried using substring for each sensor in a for loop that loop 5 times to group the data of each sensor together but it only give me the very last values.
My goal is to be able to extract and group the 5 bytes of each sensor together everytime the serial package comes in and then save them to a separte files for each sensor. I also want to be able to plot the data of each sensor as they come in with respect to time.
Any idea on how I can accomplish the grouping of data described above? I really appreciate your prompt response. Thanks,

Since you already know how to separate the sting containing the sensors data, you just have to use a string to byte function and to decimate the resulting array, as shown in the attached vi.

BI+ Reporting on access for Users and Groups

BI+ 9.2.0.2, is there a way to report on the permissions associated to a report or a folder? If so, how do you do it? Would like to get all the access permissions for all the folders and all the reports on one report, if possible. Would be nice if you could do this in Shared Services, like Planning does. Thank you! 

Now that you mention it, when I provisioned all users at the orgn scope, I had visibility issues of team workspaces created inside the organization also.
I am not going to do anything with organizations until things can be accurately accessed and viewed across organizations, seeing as I must go live NOW, I am also going to have to find a way to "move" Personal Workspaces into the desired organizational scope post go-live. I opened an SR about this previously and was told there is no way to do it, I did a rip-and-rebuild on my LDAP'ed users with an updated scope on my Directory Profile.
I imagine multiple enterprises and multiple organizations and cross visiblity controls for GAL and entities via the various interfaces is going to have to be in place before large complex organizations can adopt beehive, I can't imagine having ALL your users in one container!

Std report to dispaly Sales Order and Profit center data

Hi,
I want to display list of Sales Order and profit center in one report for that Sales organisation
Is there any T-code where i can view Sales Order and its Profit center.
**Plz if anyone knows abt this reply soon.
Thanks
AKASH
Edited by: AKASH TAMBI on May 20, 2008 1:28 PM

Dear Akash
There is no standard report to see both the sale order reference and profit center. However, if you go to SE16 and use table VBAP, you can see the required details

Need a report that shows sales shipments and billing by date

We need a report that will show sales shipment and billing information by date. Specifically, we need to find orders that were shipped in one month/period, but were not invoiced until the next month/period. Does a standard report exist?

I dont think it is possible. You will have to customize.
For list of deliveries, you can use VL06O.
For billing due list, you can use VF04.

Reporting on attr.of 0MATERIAL and 0MAT_PLANT + Trans. data in one report

Dear all,
I have an issue here with a very simple requirement:
I have cube that contains both infoobjects 0MATERIAL and 0MAT_PLANT as well as some Key-Figures KF1 and KF2.
I want to report now on attributes from 0MATERIALand 0MAT_PLANT together with my KPIs
0MATERIAL ATTR1 ATTR2 0MAT_PLANT ATTR3 ATTR4 KPI1 KPI2
If I set the display option of 0MAT_PLANT to "no display" and filter on the site for 0MAT_PLANT, I get the desired result:
0MATERIAL ATTR1 ATTR2 ATTR3 ATTR4 KPI1 KPI2
Unfortunately I only can see the lines, for which I have data in the cube, but I want now to enlarge the report to show all(!) 0MATERIALS with the corresponding attributes (ATTR1 - ATTR4) for which I have masterdata.
How can I do so?
I already tried to add both infoobjects again to my mutliprovider and to use the constant selection filter with the option "Display values not posted", but the result was always something like
0MATERIAL1 ATTR1 ATTR2 0MAT_PLANT1 ATTR3 ATTR4
0MATERIAL1 ATTR1 ATTR2 0MAT_PLANT2 ATTR3 ATTR4
0MATERIAL1 ATTR1 ATTR2 0MAT_PLANT3 ATTR3 ATTR4
0MATERIAL2 ATTR1 ATTR2 0MAT_PLANT1 ATTR3 ATTR4
0MATERIAL2 ATTR1 ATTR2 0MAT_PLANT2 ATTR3 ATTR4
0MATERIAL2 ATTR1 ATTR2 0MAT_PLANT3 ATTR3 ATTR4
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
if you have translated you 0MATERIAL into an InfoProvider you probably have in Key Figures of your MultiProvider also Number of Records, introducing this Key Figure in your query you must have all Materials in your query. If you do not obtain this result you can try with an ODS with all Materials and the same Key Figure in the query.
If you do not obtain nothing it is related to Variables Selctions and Filters in your query that are related to Cubes data. To solve this problem you must introduce all these selections and filters in Restricted Key Figures for the KF of the Cubes. Number of Records will be a Restricted Key Figure based on ODS. In Restricted Key Figures you will then also introduce you Constant Selection.
Ciao.

How do u input the printer output into labview and display the data?

Hi, basically when a program has done running the program prints a page of data. basically i want labview to read this data from the parallel port of the pc, display it in labview or be able to pull the data apart and put it where i want. any ideas, be much appreciated.
thanks stuart

Basically, what you need is to access the pins of your PC�s parallel port
The function that you need is located at: �Advances/ Port I/O /inport� of your function palette.
You might want to read the following documents before programming. They will help you a lot (specially if you are using WIN2000 or later OS that has a kernel stucture, you need to download the and used inport.vi of AccessHW.zip for your program to work)!

Report Printing in Apex 4.x / Oracle Linux - Need Help

Hi
I am new to Oracle Application Express tool. I am trying to setup an Oracle Apex environment to start a new application development. So far, I have completed the following:
1. Installed Oracle Linux 6.3
2. Installed Oracle 11g Express (64 bit version). As you know, Oracle Apex is bundled in this.
3. Completed the installation as per the documentation provided, and it works fine (I tried the following).
- Able to connect to the DB via SQL*Net from other machines in the network.
- Able to run Apex from other machines in the network.
- Created new workspace and applications (pages etc) and they work fine.
4. Downloaded the Apache FOP 1.1 binary and extracted the files under /usr (the extract created a directory fop-1.1 under /usr and all fop related files are there under this.
5. Tested the fop by running "fop -fo <input_file> <output file>" from the $ prompt. It works fine.
Now, I am stuck at setting up Report printing. Please note that, other that what is mentioned above, we have no other software installed on the server. Can someone guide me on how I can setup report printing with this software setup? Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
With APEX you have two options for configuring a print server for PDF printing. BI Publisher and Apache FOP. The Apache FOP options actually refers to a J2EE app that we ship with APEX (see /utilities/fop/fop.war in your installation folder). This .war file needs to be installed on OC4J and then your APEX instance needs to be pointed to a specific URL in your print configuration, see more details here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/configure-printing-093060.html
When using the database 11g, you'll also have to enable networking services, which is also covered in the documented I mentioned above..
Given what you outlined in your post, I'm assuming you're using the embedded gateway (built-in web server in the database). As an alternative, you might want to look at the APEX Listener, which actually has FOP built-in, so in your APEX Instance Administration you would only have to select the APEX Listener as the print options, and all the other config steps would not be needed
More information on the APEX Listener can be found here:

Having issues viewing interactive parameters and group tree in Visual Studio 2013 design view.

Hey Guys,
I'm a web developer (front end and back end, kind of a one man army sort of deal) and my current employer wishes to use crystal reports to display the results of the online survey apps/tools I have been working on for the last few months. However, I have been having trouble getting the reports to render in browser, and a lot of the ui components of the browser based report viewer (the interactive parameters and group tree) will not render properly in the design view of visual studio (ive attached a screen cap of what I'm talking about) or in the browser itself.
I am new to crystal reports and its community and if I am leaving out any critical details or have posted in the incorrect section please inform me and I will make changes as necessary.
Additional info:
Visual studio version: 2013 professional (trial)
Plugin version (exe file name): CRforVS_13_0_9.exe (I also installed the 64 bit run-time from this)
Server and OS versions: IIS 7.5 on Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2
Any help you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
-Mike

Hi Mike
First thing you want to do is uninstall CRVS SP 9 and install CRVS SP 10. SP 10 is the first SP to support VS 2013.
Once that is done, let us know if that helped any.

(( Hello -ENABLE REPORT PRINTING - OPTION NOT SHOWING ))

2010-07-28
Hello,
I am trying to print a report in APEX 4.0
using the free account APEX.ORACLE.COM .
I learning how to do this using the tutorial at:
http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/db/apex/r40/apexstart/apexstart_b/apexstart_b_ll.htm
In the tutorial it says:
(about 40% down the page)
17 .
Select Yes in the ****Enable Report Printing**** drop-down menu and select Portrait in the Orientation drop-down menu under Page Attributes. Then click the Page Header tab.
The screenshot the tutorial shows looks like this:
HTTP://mankindwins.com/__7700-2900-APEX-GLOBAL-201/850-500-SCREENSHOTS-FOR-EMAILS-203/ENABLE-REPORT-PRINTING--SCREENSHOT-FROM-TUTORIAL.jpg
However, when I go into the page for my application, the screen looks
like this:
HTTP://mankindwins.com/__7700-2900-APEX-GLOBAL-201/850-500-SCREENSHOTS-FOR-EMAILS-203/PRINT-ATTRIBUTES--FROM-INSIDE-APEX-PAGE.jpg
As you can see, there is no option for:
****ENABLE REPORT PRINTING****
What do I have to do this make this option appear?
How do I get the
****ENABLE REPORT PRINTING****
option to appear?
I believe I saw something somewhere that said you had to do
so-and-so to ****enable report printing****.
How do you do this?
Thanks for your help!
