Report with a prompt for a variable

Post Author: tpham
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
I am using BO 6.5.1 and would like to figure out how to create a prompt for a user to type in when the report refreshes to be computed in the variable. Is this possible?

i've started with BO XI R2
but i have no doubt that its also available in all the BO versions
sure you can do it
good luck

Crystal Report Viewer Credential Prompt for Report with Dynamic Parameters

The .NET Crystal Report Viewer is prompting for database credentials when launching a report containing dynamic parameters. This only occurs for reports created with SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer. Reports created with Crystal Reports XI designer (where dynamic parameters were first introduced) work correctly.
The credential prompt window contains the following fields:
- Server Name: <server name> (disabled)
- Database Name: <database name> (disabled)
- User Name: <empty> (enabled)
- Password: <empty> (enabled)
- Use Single Signon Key: false (disabled)
The values in the prompt window which are disabled are the database connection values used during the design of the report in the SAP Crystal Reports 2011 designer.
Expected Result:
- No prompt for database credentials.
- Values read from the database should be populated in a drop down for the dynamic parameters.
Environment:
- Visual Studio 2010 (C#)
- Windows 7 Enterprise
- SAP Crystal Reports runtime engine for .NET Framework 4
- SAP Crystal Reports, version for Visual Studio 2010
- SAP Crystal Reports 2011
The database connection is being set to use a DSN. It must be a DSN as the calling application is only aware of the DSN/Username/Password values. These values are being passed to the Crystal Report Viewer contained in a Windows form.
The database connection for the report is being set as follows:
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
 // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection otherwise the connection does not work
 if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
 internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
 // Supposed to set the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
 internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
The SetConnection method's signature is as follows:
 SetConnection(string server, string database, string name, string password)
As you can see from the code snippet above I am setting the DSN name as the server parameter, blank for the database parameter (a database connection using DSN should only require DSN name/Username/Password) and the database username and password respectively.
Is this a SAP bug?
Is this the correct way of setting the database connection to use a DSN?
Is there some other properties that need to be set somewhere else in the report through code?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the pointer to the database connection code generator. After taking a look at the output from the tool I was able to finally get the dynamic parameters to load and populate properly without prompting for credentials. I needed to tweak the outputted code a bit to match my requirements of using a DSN only connection.
Instead of updating the database connection properties contained within the Report.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalReports.Engine namespace, I changed it to replace the database connection properties in the Report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables collection from the CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel namespace. For one reason or another, using the RAS namespace solved the problem.
Below is the updated code with the change made:
using RAPTable = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table;
foreach (InternalConnectionInfo internalConnectionInfo in this.report.DataSourceConnections)
 // Must set the UseDSNProperties flag to True before setting the database connection
 if (internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.ContainsKey("UseDSNProperties"))
 internalConnectionInfo.LogonProperties.Set("UseDSNProperties", true);
 // Sets the database connection for all objects in the report (ie. main report, tables, sub reports)
 internalConnectionInfo.SetConnection(this.DSN, string.Empty, this.LoginName, this.Password);
// The attributes for the QE_LogonProperties which is part of the main property bag
PropertyBag innerPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
innerPropertyBag.Add("DSN", this.DSN);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UserID", this.LoginName);
innerPropertyBag.Add("Password", this.Password);
innerPropertyBag.Add("UseDSNProperties", "true");
// The attributes collection of the tables ConnectionInfo object
PropertyBag mainPropertyBag = new PropertyBag();
mainPropertyBag.Add("Database DLL", "crdb_ado.dll");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_DatabaseType", "OLE DB (ADO)");
mainPropertyBag.Add("QE_LogonProperties", innerPropertyBag);
// Pass the database properties to a connection info object
ConnectionInfo connectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
connectionInfo.Attributes = mainPropertyBag;
connectionInfo.Kind = CrConnectionInfoKindEnum.crConnectionInfoKindCRQE;
connectionInfo.UserName = this.LoginName;
connectionInfo.Password = this.Password;
// Replace the database connection properties of each table in the report
foreach (RAPTable oldTable in this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.Database.Tables)
 RAPTable table = new RAPTable();
 table.ConnectionInfo = connectionInfo;
 table.Name = oldTable.Name;
 table.QualifiedName = oldTable.QualifiedName;
 table.Alias = oldTable.Alias;
 this.report.ReportClientDocument.DatabaseController.SetTableLocation(oldTable, table);
this.report.VerifyDatabase();
Thanks again Ludek for the help.

Use a delivers agent on a report with "Is Prompted" column, 11g

Hi all,
I have a report with is prompted filter on a column. And the report are working fine.
But now the customer have asked me to set up a deliver agent on the report. And when the agent is running the report it is not working.
The column that is set to "is prompted" has a expression in business layer and in that expression we are using a session variable. If I changes "is prompted" to a static filter or no filter the agent works fine. I'm getting this error when the agent tries to run the report:

Hi Linus,
Where you able to solve this issue or do you have additional findings to your issue? I'm facing a similar problem: a session variable has no value defined when running from the agent.
Please let me know,
Thanks,

Calendar prompt for Date variable from bex

Hi All,
I have a Bex query where I have a variable on 0CALDAY
- Customer exit (i_step = 1 to populate with current date)
- Single value
- Mandatory
I created universe on this query and in webI selection screen i do see the variable prompt.
I am not able to see the current date populated automatically since exit values are not populated to WebI at runtime.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly.
I am currently on BO XI 3.1 SP3.
Is there any specific setting in Universe or bex query which is required to get this Calendar prompt instead of list of values for dates?
Note: When we were on SP1 the universe created then had same variable from bex and it still shows us Calendar prompt but ever since we upgraded to SP3 for the query splitter functionality we not able to get the calendar prompt for date variable in new universe we create
Thanks
Ritesh

Yep.
Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
@Prompt:
You have flexibility to show options like:
Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
Workaround for your Problem is:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
Like:
<FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
Why, It should be blank??
Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
Hope you got my point.
Thank You!!

Creating an Exception Report with a Prompt

All,
Having difficulties with this report, and I wanted to see if I'm trying to make it do too much.
Report: Opportunities Exception Report
Prompt: List of exceptions we are tracking (ie...Custom Field #1 not populated, Source not populated, etc).
I tried to combine criteria to account for each exception (since each exception is based on a seperate field), but doing so prevents me from then adding a Prompt. I have also created individual reports to account for each exception. I'm wondering what the best approach would be to achieve the results I need?
Is it possible to:
1. Combine all individual exception reports (all have same columns, with first column hard-coded to identify which exception type that report contains) into one master exception report, with a prompt on the column that lists the exception type?
2. Create a prompt to a master report that, when selected, applies exception criteria that is appropriate for what is chosen from the Prompt?
3. Somehow work with a Master that that has all the exceptions built into the combined criteria, but still gives a Prompt to select which criteria you're wanting to see?
Thanks in advance for any/all help.
Regards,
JT

Mike,
Thanks for your response. Looking at the suggestions you gave, the first two wouldn't work for this scenario because of what it is we're trying to do. Essentially, we're just trying to find the missing pieces of data that the Sales Team didn't enter in on an Opportunity. So every report is going to be like this:
1. Show me ALL Opportunities that do not have field 1 populated. (Exception Type 1)
2. Show me ALL Opportunities that do not have field 2 populated. (Exception Type 2)
3. Show me ALL Opportunities that do not have field 3 populated. (Exception Type 3)
The report with combined analysis worked great in putting these exceptions into one report, but you're limited in what you can do with it.
I've toyed with the pivot table, but if have a drop down list of the exception types, can I then change the filter of the complete Opportunity list to be the just the one you select?
Thanks again for your response,
JT

Report does not prompt for parameters when SeparatePages=False

Hi all. We are using CR2008 Basic w/SP1 along with VS2008. Within our application, reports pull up fine and prompt for parameters using the CrystalReportViewer against the web service. SeparatePages is set to True. We want to change SeparatePages to False, but when I do that any report that should prompt for parameters is not.
The reports were created in CR 8.5. We have upgraded them to CR2008 (open, refresh, save) which has greatly increased performance. With some further testing, I've discovered that if I take a report that doesn't currently have any parameters and add one via VS2008 report designer, it WILL prompt for the parameter when I run it in our application with SeparatePages=False.
So I'm leaning that the problem has to do with the reports originally being created in 8.5. I've tried modifying an existing report with parameters, deleting parameters and re-adding, but I still can't get these to prompt for parameters with SeparatePages=False.
Again, these same reports prompt for parms and work fine as long as SeparatePages=True. I'm hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this. There are over 400 reports so re-creating them from scratch under CR2008 will be a painful option
If I need to provide any additional information just let me know. Thank you!
Sheila

We are still working to resolve this issue. Testing has shown that for reports that don't return a lot of data, the prompt for parameters will display. But for larger reports, we just see the hour glass and the parameter prompt never displays. It's almost like the reports are trying to return the full dataset without any paramters being passed BEFORE it will prompt for parameters. This would explain why smaller reports will prompt and larger reports never will (?). Not sure that is what is happening. Again, with SeparatePages=True we are immediately given the parameter prompt. With SeparatePages=False we run into the issue of no prompts.
Here's the code behind if it help:
ReportDocument report = new ReportDocument();
try
    String rptFileName = @"App_Data\Reports\" + Request.QueryString.GetValues(0).GetValue(0).ToString();
    log.writeLog("Loading Report: " + rptFileName);
    String rptFile = Server.MapPath(rptFileName);
    report.Load(rptFile);
    report.Refresh();
    ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
    log.writeDebugLog("ServerName : " + rProperties.ODBCSource);
    crConnectionInfo.ServerName = rProperties.ODBCSource;
    log.writeDebugLog("DatabaseName : " + rProperties.ODBCSource);
    crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = rProperties.ODBCSource;
    log.writeDebugLog("UserID : " + rProperties.ODBCUser);
    crConnectionInfo.UserID = rProperties.ODBCUser;
    log.writeDebugLog("Password : " + rProperties.ODBCPassword);
    crConnectionInfo.Password = rProperties.ODBCPassword;
    foreach (CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table table in report.Database.Tables)
        TableLogOnInfo crTableLogOnInfo = new TableLogOnInfo();
        crTableLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
        table.ApplyLogOnInfo(crTableLogOnInfo);
catch (Exception err)
    log.writeLog("Error Loading Report: " + err.ToString());
    this.lblError.Text = err.ToString();
    this.ErrorTable.Visible = true;
    this.ReportTable.Visible = false;
    return;
CrystalReportViewer1.HasCrystalLogo = false;
CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = report; // _serverFileReport;

Problem with view object for global variables

Hi,
I'm using jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0
We are using view object with transient attributes for global variables.
we defined the view as explained here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31974/bcstatemgmt.htm#ADFFD19610
also we defined one of the attributes as primary key.
When we start to test our application with disable connection pooling we got some problems.
sometimes the row in the global view object is deleted.
(for example after using executeEmptyRowSet on other view object).
it looks strange, we couldn't fוnd why does it happen.
Any idea?

As Timo said, it is very hard to help without source.
Are you sure that you do the next step:
After the call to super.prepareSession(), add code to create a new row in the transient view object and insert it into the view object.

Crystal Report doesn't prompt for SAP credentials / errors out on refresh

2 Environments tested with same results:

BOE XI 3.1 SP2 & BOE XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.5 
SAP Intg Kit on mirrored SP/FP levels in each environment.

We've been successfully creating Crystal Reports against BEx queries in BW for months now as well as ECC master data. We've also built universes and have WebI reports actively working against similar BEx queries in the same. However, we're getting some curious behavior when we refresh the Crystal Reports against BEx queries in BW. Verified all necessary transports and authorizations have been provided for both authoring, as well as refreshing/viewing on demand, etc.

We've setup all the Crystal Reports we're testing to:

a) Use custom database logon information specified here. 
b) Specify a custom driver, leveraging the crdb_bwmdx driver 
c) Prompt the user for database login

We have not enabled SNC as of yet.

1) When we refresh a WebI report hitting a BEx query with security applied, it doesn't prompt for the credentials, but we confirmed through tracing on the SAP side that if the user hits a paramater it has access to, the data comes through and when we hit a paramater they do not have access to, we can clearly see SAP reject it and it spits out a logical error on the BO side in InfoView and in the WebI logs on the BO server.

2) When we refresh a Crystal Report hitting ECC data, we are prompted for the SAP credentials and everything works as expected

However:

3) When we refresh a Crystal Report hitting a BEx query in BW, we are not promtped for SAP credentials. We immediately get the "LOV" prompts. Now, if we use a test user in SAP that has NO SECURITY restrictions at all and open access to the query, the data comes through. However, as soon as any security is applied to the query level, even if it is SAP ALL, we cannot retrieve the data. Tracing is also strange, as we can see on the SAP side it buffer the selected paramaters, but unlike with the WebI reports, it never shows it reaching the point where it checks each paramater against what the role has access to. An error is then spit back. We run the same queries with the same users within SAP and get normal behavior. It's as though as soon as we apply security to the query the mdx driver doesn't like it. Dependant on the type of InfoView viewer we use, the errors we consistently get on the BO side are:

Interactive Viewer: "Error in File %reportname%: Encapsulating Page Failed" 
Java Viewer: "Error in File %reportname%: Database Connection Error"

Nothing glaring in the event logs on the BO servers or in the Crystal logs that I can see, however just because it isn't spitting a specific error in the crystal logs doesn't mean I'm not missing something because I don't know what to look for behavior wise. To reduce the liklihood that it has to do with the way the report was built, we've tried against the same query by building a report using standard methods, as well as the SAP Toolbar using a very plain jane report. Same behavior.

Thoughts?

Scheduling in Webi Reports with Changing Prompts.

Hi Experts,
I have a Webi report which is on top of 2 BEx queries connected through BICS. The Webi report has more than 4 crore records which makes it difficult to load each time when I refresh. I need to schedule this report so that the user can view the report based on the last instance.
The report has 3 prompts namely Plant, Material and As of Date.
The user uses only Plant and As Of Date. There are only two plants for example A and B. The user needs to run the report for each plant separately for all the days.
Suppose today is 03/07/2013.
The user will run the report with Plant A and As of Date: 03/07/2013 and second time with Plant B and As of Date: 03/07/2013.
Next today is 04/07/2013.
The user will run the report with Plant A and As of Date: 4/07/2013 and second time with Plant B and As of Date: 4/07/2013.
I need your expert opinion in achieving this while scheduling. Hope you understood the scenario and will be helping me out in this.
Thanks in Advance,
Abdul

Hello experts,
I am very interested in this topic, as I have the exact same requirement as Abdul:
Daily scheduling of Webi reports, based on BEx queries and connected through BICS. Done on BO4.
I followed Aashutosh's link above, and i read something very interesting on page 3:
Current Options Using Standard Functionality
Until BusinessObjects 4.0 is released, it is not possible to use BEx variables (which will be made available by
the BICS connector) or the last load date variable. This makes it impossible to automate the scheduling of
Web Intelligence queries filtered by dynamic dates or time-slices (for example, yesterday, last week) using
standard functionality. "
Is this already functioning on BO4/Bex? Do you have an idea of how to implement it?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Francisco

Error When Prompting for Substitution Variable

Hi - I'm receiving an error when I try to run the following using the substitution variable - but only when I enter a string; when I enter a numeric value it runs fine.

Thanks!
Christine

Hi,
It looks like you just want one string there:
l_SCR_Info            VARCHAR2(50) := '''SCR&SCR_NUM-''';Remeber how substitution variables work: SQL*Plus replaces them with values before sending the code to the back end to be compiled.
If you give a value like AB for the variable, the code you posted is equivalent to:
     l_SCR_Info            VARCHAR2(50) := '''SCR'|| AB ||'-'||'''';by the time it reaches the compiler. AB is not inside quotes, so the compiler looks for a variable or function called AB.
If you gave a number:
     l_SCR_Info            VARCHAR2(50) := '''SCR'|| 123 ||'-'||'''';there's no problem; the compile knows what the literal number 123 is.

SQLServer Reporting Services 2005 Prompts for Credentials for a trusted domain user

Currently the report is running in the domain AAA. Users in the domain AAA are using the report.
Another new domain BBB and an user XXX is now created and BBB\XXX has been given Browser access. Domain AAA and BBB are trusted domains.
After this when the user BBB\XXX logs in and access the report, before loading the report, credentials dialog is prompted, once credentials of BBB\XXX is entered, the report is loaded.
Why the report prompts for this additional credential dialog for the trusted domain user?

Hello,
Did you have get two textboxes in the report parameter panel (in the left side of the "View Report" button)? The issue is occurred when the credential of the datasource is configured with “Prompt for credentials”. Please check if you configured the credential

Hi Pramod,
I don't know how it is done in infoset. But if you have a context node and attribute for the field which is displayed in the view, create a custom dictionary search help for the field you want. Design the search help as per your requirements (what fields to be displayed etc..).
In the context attribute of that field property, select 'Dictionary search help' in the Input help mode. Enter the name of your custom search help here.

Just installed the latest 3.2 version of SQL Developer, and tried to do an explain plan.
Now the tool prompts me for values for the bind variable. It didn't do that in my previous version (version 3. something).
Thats anoying :-)
How do I disable that feature?
Example:
explain plan for
select * from emp
where department_id = :1;
If i right click on the statement or press F10, I get no prompt for the bind variable...
Regards

Old fashioned way, like this:
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
SELECT * FROM scott.emp
where deptno = :1;
SELECT PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY());
Executed with F5 gives me this output
plan FOR succeeded.
PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT
Plan hash value: 3956160932
| Id | Operation | Name | Rows | Bytes | Cost (%CPU)| Time |
| 0 | SELECT STATEMENT | | 5 | 190 | 3 (0)| 00:00:01 |
|* 1 | TABLE ACCESS FULL| EMP | 5 | 190 | 3 (0)| 00:00:01 |
Predicate Information (identified by operation id):
1 - filter("DEPTNO"=TO_NUMBER(:1))

Invalid Year error when refreshing the report with date prompt

Hi All,
I am working on BO XI 3.1 with Informix database.
When refreshing the report without any date prompt the report is running fine,but when applying the date prompt it is giving the error message
"Invalid year in the date".
I have tried changing the value in the advance tab of the object property to 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss'
But it also din't work for me.
Please suggest.
Thanks and Regards,
Rishabh

Hi Experts,
Thanks for your suggestions.
Since changing the PRM file was not a fesiable solution for us.
We have manged to find a work around to solve this issue
We have created the filters at universe level with following formula for all the date objects which we ere using at report level as a prompt:
@Select(classname\objectname)=TO_DATE(@Prompt('Enter Date:','D',,mono,free,not_persistent), '%Y/%m/%d')
Although when we parse this formula it wil give an error message saying 'illigle operation',
still it will work when we use this at report level.
Thanks and Regards,
Rishabh
