Report Testing

How do I test a report (RDF, JSP, etc) outside of Reports Builder?
I start the OC4J instance that comes with Reports Builder and type my URL into my browser
//myserver:8888/reports/rwservlet?report=C:\Ora90iDS\reports\j2ee\reports_ids\web\test\MyTest.rdf&server=rep_<myserver>&destype=cache&desformat=html&userid=sa/sa@mydbserver:1433;DatabaseName=mydatabase;SelectMethod=cursor
I get the following error.
REP-501: Unable to connect to the specified database.
The report works (paper and web) inside reports builder using PDS for JDBC.
I am trying to use the report server (rep_myserver) that comes with Reports Builder to test outside of the Builder tool in the IE Browser.
Can this be done?
I attempt to run from the rwclient command line and get a REP-0238 security error.
Does what I attempting to do make sense?
I am not sure exactly what I get from Reports Builder as far as testing in my own browser.
Thanks,
Jeanne

Hi Jeanne
Could it be due to the fact that you are using a colon character in the URL? I guess you must be encoding it.

Mac Pro user Reports/Tests on FB-Dimms

Mac Pro user Reports/Tests on FB-Dimms from a post on xlr8yourmac.com, helpful and interesting info:
http://xlr8yourmac.com/systems/MacPro/mac_proram.html#storytop
William

So I purchased 4 1GB Kingston FB Dimms and I have been running them for about 72 hours straight (not constantly testing or anything, just normal leave the computer on bit torrent etc, stuff). And for the first 2 days I was checking the system profiler religiously all running at 667, no EEC errors. But tonight I decided to check and slot 1 of riser card 2 is reporting like 4000 or more EEC errors.
I shut down, opened up, removed riser card, reseated module in question and booted back up. Checked and it reported all at 667 no EEC errors. Then I ran "Remember.app" and within 2 min it was erroring out all over the place and I checked system profiler to find 6000 EEC errors on slot 1 riser 2.
What is going on here? All the other modules seem to be running fine, no EEC errors reported ever. Do I have 1 bum stick of RAM? Are EEC errors grounds for a replacement? I bought this from newegg and I think I can only exchange if they are defective - are EEC errors considered a defect?
Thanks guys!
PS my 2x512's are sitting on my desk - I have been running the machine for 72 hours with ONLY the kingston ram (same model and everything as controller2k - he gave me the idea to buy it

I can't open example report test.rdf

When execute the example report in the demostration page, I get this error:
REP-110: Unable to open file 'test.rdf'.
REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'test.rdf'.
Any idea?
Thanks.

I am also getting the same problme.
But I copied the sample reports to Report/web folder and i could open & export the sample reports from the client browser. Problem is with newly created reports. Should I do any configuration except path setting in registry..?
thanks in advance

Essbase studio drill thru report Test error

Hi All,
Essbase studio drill thru report is producing the below error: Unable to retrieve drill thru result.
Error in the select statement. Line = 2466.
Error in query execution. Please review the query and try again.
Cannot execute a SQL query
ORA-01791: not a SELECTed expression
Any idea... i am able to test for some of the dimensions but this error is coming for a few dimensiosns .... i verified all the joins between dimensions and facts.. everything is fine.
Thanks,
Praveen

Hi Glenn,
This is a test report executed with in Studio console. Yes, i did verify the generated sql by studio server and was able to drill down to the detail. I dont find any information in the logs when testing this. Probably, i would need to increase logging level. Will do that and update here if i dont find much help there.
Thanks,

RICEF - Custom Report Test

I understand that R in RICEF entails the development of custom reports. However, how do we go about testing the custom report? Do we need to go to each table/screen the and see if value is correct? Does it typically involve testing only a sample?
Thanks.

Akshat,
For every new development, creation of test scripts is mandatory.
Example of a simple Custom report with 2 columns -
Billing document, Posting Yes/No
Test scripts
1. Take a billing document, accounting document not created
2. Take a billing document, accounting document created
Test steps
In selection screen, give billing document no.
Execute the report
Bill no.1, NO
Validation
Go to VF03, give billing document no.
Go to document flow, check if accounting document is created. If not, then the custom report result is OK.

An Engineer Fails the Consumer Report Test

This is from this blog - http://mobileanalyst.wordpress.com/2010/07/12/iphone-4-report-consumer-reports-s tudy-is-full-of-crap/
I pass it on to bring another side to the story.
=================================================
Consumer Report iPhone4 study flawed
Posted on July 12, 2010 by Bob
Let me start off by saying that for much of my career, I worked as an electromagnetic engineer working on exactly the kind of issues that now face Apple on the iPhone4. But this isn’t about me. It is about Consumer Reports and its not so scientific testing on the iPhone 4.
Consumer reports “RF” engineers should know better than to think they can run an engineering grade test for an issue like this in a shielded room. And certainly not one with people in it.
To even reasonably run a scientific test, the iPhone should have been sitting on a non-metallic pedestal inside an anechoic chamber. The base station simulator should have been also sitting outside the chamber and had a calibrated antenna plumbed to it from inside the chamber.
I have not seen CR’s claim directly that the finger effect reduces the iPhones sensitivity by 20db as reported elsewhere, but unless CR connected to a functional point inside the iPhone that number is fantasy. Even the way they seemed to have tested the change by varying the base station simulator seems assume the iPhone receiver and/or transmitter operate in a linear fashion (the same way) across all signal strengths – bad assumption.
Bottom line. From what I can see in the reports, Consumer Reports replicated the same uncontrolled, unscientific experiments that many of the blogging sites have done.
I’m not saying that Apple has no h/w problem and they surely have a s/w issue. But I’m still wondering that if the software signal algorithm was not AFU’d in the first place how many if anyone would talking about this “problem”
I also don’t know what part of this problem is Apple’s and what part is related to the AT&T network.
And we don’t know how the observed effect is, or is not similar to other devices.
We also don’t know if placing a finger on the antenna bridge is detuning the antenna or detuning the receiver itself.
And neither does Consumer Reports.
Oh. Mr Job’s; right now. Silence is not golden. I’m quite sure Apple has these answers by now… If not, send me a few more iPhones, I’ll find a chamber and get you some answers in a day.
Ps. Blogged from my Iphone4 in a rest area on my way home from work, cause I just couldn’t help myself!
================================

I am a self professed Apple fan. My family each have a Macbook Pro, iPhone 4 and iPad.
I also have relied on Consumer Reports for 20 years. They do not take any advertising and have won every lawsuit filed against them by disgruntled manufacturers. Simply put, they have no bias. They also hire top engineers in every field they do tests.
So here is my bottom line. It is now clear that Apple has a hardware problem here and every day that goes by without a real acknowledgment is a day their terrific brand gets tarnished. Apple needs to tackle this head on.
As for me and my family, we all have nice cases on our iPhone 4s, so we do not have thevissue (did before the cases).

Unit Testing in Report Generation

I am new to SAP-BW. looking as of how can Unit Testing be done in Reports. and any other kind of testing on reports.
any kind of information on report testing, how is it usually done would be real helpful.
thanks in advance

Hi Kavi,
As far as i have gathered knowledge in Report Unit Testing.these are the important points
you have four kind of unit testing to be done on the reports.
1.Security : This will include testing the functionality of the security module with regards to validation of user profile and that access to reports is provided based on user group profile. The users can be categorized into the following types and this information can be obtained from Report Technical Design Document.
o     View a snapshot of a report generated earlier
o     Can execute report
o     Edit the report
2.User Experice Testing: basically how the report looks to user, the fonts, the titles, kind of obvios but important stuff.
3. Data Validation Testing: To see if the data we obtain in the reports is same as the data present in the Source R/3 System. This can be done by taking some raw data from source system and cross checking with the reports. This can be done manually, I dont have any idea to automate this process.I am not sure if automation can be done. This is a painful process but, very important step and crutial in unit testing.
4. Navigational Testing: This is basically testing all the drill down function, navigational and Report to Report linkage. This info we can get from the technical design document for the reporting. and corresponding Test Scripts can be prepared from it.
As you can see The template will be consisting of all the above said columns, Entry and Exit Criteria and corresponding people who are going to perform the test.(Onsite/offsite).
For each case a testscript can be prepared and can be used multiple times whenever report has to be tested.
I do have a template.BUt i need to edit it somewat before mailing.Do tell me if u need one...or is this information sufficient.
Hope it Helps

everything in infrastructure and application server middle tier is working fine.
the URL
http://zeropoint:7779/reports/rwservlet
Works fine
What might be the problem?

its 1/0
i have done a freshj installation, but dont know why even after fress installation why isn't it working.
Let me tell you another thing. My client has not any DNS right now and they are using host file on client side to resolve the server name but they are running successfullly in same netwrok let me tell you another thing that they are using 10.1.2.0.2 on red had advance server 3 on a 32bit machine and the machine on which i am working right now is 64-bit DELL machine with red hat linux advance server 4. I have done same hing in my office on AMD 64-bit machine and there my reports server is running fine.
So do you think it might be a network problem?

Testing Reports within Reports Builder

I am using Oracle Reports Builder 9i 9.0.2.0.3.
I have created a simple report using a JDBC query and J_JDBCPDS.
I have saved the file as a RDF and a JSP.
I want to test this from within Reports Builder.
I created a simple selection.HTM file that has an HREF to my files
I try
HREF="http://myserver:8888/reports/test/myreport.jsp?J_JDBCPDS='myserver:1433;DatabaseName=mydatabase">My Report</a></p>
and
HREF="http://myserver:8888/reports/test/myreport.rdf?J_JDBCPDS='myserver:1433;DatabaseName=mydatabase">My Report</a></p>
So ...
I start OC4J.
browse to
http://myserver:8888/reports/test/select.htm
click on my links
but both times I get PAGE NOT FOUND.
How can I test the Reports Builder reports with just having Reports Builder?
Thanks,
Jeanne Vural

Jeanne
The href url is wrong in your selection.html page. Firstly for paper layout report, you should go through Reports servlet, that mean your url would be something like:
http://webserver:port//servlet/rwservlet?server=servername+report=reportname.....
For web layout reports also, your url will need the server info and i do not see any server param passed in the url.
Thanks

HP-UX: Oracle AS 10g Reports server hangs

I have installed Oracle AS 10g Forms and reports services on HP-UX. Initially Forms and reports were working fine. Presently forms are also working fine.
However reports started giving problem REP-56055: Exceed max connections allowed then changed the value of maxconnects from 20 to 100.
Presently reports server gets hang. If I try to run test report from the URL:
http://venus.marineterminals.com:7780/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_venus_OracleAS_FormsReports+destype=cache+desformat=html+report=test.rdf
I am getting the following error message "No Response from Application Web Server " Can anybody please help me to rectify this issue.

Hello,
Most of the times, the error REP-56055: Exceed max connections allowed is returned because some reports exections are hanging and keep the connection.
Have you tried to use the Reports engine attribute "engineResponseTimeOut" in order to kill automatically the reports execution that are hanging ?
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_conf.htm
Of course, the real cause of the problem should be investigated ...

Error Running Reports as Portlet in Oracle AS 10g

Reports Server Name : myserver
Oracle Reports Web Gateway URL for JSP reports : http://stts:7778/

Oracle Reports File Name : test.rdf (default report sample)
Execute : via servlet
#The problem is.....
When I tried to run the report by clicking Run / Run as Portlet link, the report doesn't show up.
Then, I rightclick-View Page Source on the page
<iframe name="iFramePortlet"

I found that the src tag is doubling my computername into sttsstts, it supposed to be stts only.
How come this happen???
I already tried to change server definition into
Oracle Reports Web Gateway URL for JSP reports : http://localhost/

Remove Printer Name from Crystal Report

How can i remove the printer name from the Crystal Report so that the PrinterName property of the CRAXDRT.Report object in the RDC SDK is blank WITHOUT having the "No Printer" Option checkbox checked?
Here's the scenerio. When I first create a Report and don't go into Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. If I go into Page Setup and explicitly select a printer, PrinterName property equals the name of the printer selected. If I check the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, PrinterName property is blank. But if i go back in and uncheck the "No Printer" checkbox in Page Setup, the PrinterName property equals the name of my Windows Default Printer.

I'm still not sure what is unclear about my first question. And I'm not sure how any of the info you are requesting is going to make any difference in answering my question. And I'm not sure how your analogy fits here but ..
Version of CR = 11.0.0.895
CR Service Packs applied = None
Web or Win app? = Win App
OS? = Windows XP Service Pack 3
Development language? = Both Visual Basic 6 and C#.Net 2008
Method of CR files deployment = email the .RPT file to a client
Where were the runtime files downloaded from? = Runtimes are installed from Merge Modules donwload from SAP site
What is the version of the craxdrt.dll on the deployed box? = 11.0.0.893
So here are the exact steps so you can understand what is going on:
I have the Crystal Reports Application open side-by-side with my Visual Basic development environment in debug mode so i can step through the code using the RDC SDK.
1. I open the Crystal Reports Application and create a brand new report - "Test.RPT" and DO NOT go into Page Setup at all and save the report.
2. In my Visual Basic development environment, i run the code that will generate the report, Here's the exact code
    Dim m_crApp As CRAXDRT.Application
    Dim m_crReport As CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crApp = New CRAXDRT.Application
    Set m_crReport = New CRAXDRT.Report
    Set m_crReport = m_crApp.OpenReport("Test.RPT")
3. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
4. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and check the "No Printer" option.
5. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
6. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is still blank.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to ""
7. I reopen the Crystal Reports Application with report "Test.RPT" and go into Page Setup and uncheck the "No Printer" option. I have NOT specified any printer, nor have i clicked the "Printer..." button to setup a printer....i have just unchecked the "No Printer" option
8. I go back into my Visual Basic development environment and rerun the code that will generate the report.
9. When i look at the PrinterName property in the CRAXDRT.Report object, it is now set to my WINDOWS DEFAULT PRINTER, yet i had not specified any printer.
    ie. crReport.PrinterName is equal to "
MyNetwork\MyPrinter"
PROBLEMS:
1. The client needs the report to go to the default windows printer of their machine
2. If the "No Printer" Option is checked, the Report does not print at all
3. If the report is set to MY default windows printer and i give it to the client, at times it takes upwards of to a minute for the Print Dialog to disply. As i've read on other forum posts, it appears Crystal is looking for MY printer on the clients machine and takes a minute before i realizes it can't find it and then sets it to the CLIENTS default windows printer.
4. The client believes it is unreasonable to wait a minute for the print dialog to appear ...and i agree.
5. I cannot change the code to use the Select Printer in the RDC SDK - it's a long explanation why but just suffice it to say that i cannot do this.
All i want to do is either:
1. Remove the Printer Name in the actual report from the Crystal Reports designer - basically undoing what Crystal did when i went into Page Setup.
2. Via the RDC SDK, be able to detect the "No Printer" option is selected. Checkign CRAXDRT.PrinterName equal to "" is not an option.
