Report with multiple Detail Area

Hi All,
Please see the Report pointed to the link below:
[Report with multiple Detail Area|http://us.share.geocities.com/felix5ac/fairway.jpg]
Some Explanations:
========================
(1) The line with "ABCDEFGH..." is variable data coming from the database in the Detail Area
(2) The lines with "WBLNX'" "123, 123.12",
"WBLNX'"
are variable data associated with the same Heading: "ABCDEFGH..."
(2b) There can be multiple lines of data in the detail area (i.e. 1 or more "ABCDEFGH..." and the associated WBLNX and numbers...)
(3) Item Code Descriptions ==> is a Header Info
(4) ARL ... and FPHI... ==> are variable data and lines in these area can be 1 line; it can be 4 lines; it can be 10 lines...
(5) Lines FROM "Artwork Procedures..." to the the end of the page are static.
QUESTION:
===================
How do I best design these Report with the multiple detail areas? Again, please see link of the Report above...
Thanks and Best regards,
Felix

Hi Felix
You can place the less detailed fields in the regular sections of the report and wherever you require multiple lines you can use the subreports.
Hope this helps.

Historical Reporting With Multiple Subject Areas

Hi All,
I am working on to decide the best way to create repository. I do have a requirement from my client that they need to see both Current and Historical Reporting via OBIEE. I am keeping Type 2 SCD. My model consists of about 30 fact tables - each of them represents a business process/event.
Following are my options:
1) One Subejct Area to keep current/historical reporting. Here the joins would be based on PK/FK relationships with Effective Start and Effective End dates. There is a flag in all tables to find the most updated record. Users can use the flag to find the most updated record or use Effective Start and Effective End dates to go point in time.
2) Create two Subject Areas - Current and Historical reporting. Current one will include the flag logic to get the most updated record in RPD
3) Create multiple Subject Areas for each Fact table and use Combining Multiple Subject Area approach to join Subject Areas. Additionally, create one Subject Area for Historical Reporting (that will have all the tables in one SA)
I am thinking of going ahead with option 3) This will have Subject Areas for all logical facts (for Current reporting) and one Subject Area for Historical reporting.
Is this a standard design? Any inputs?

You should try both Complex folders as well as custom folders and see which gives you better performance. Discoverer SQL optimizations for example apply only on Complex folders and not on simple folders.
If you define the joins between the two tables, you can still use items from them in your Discoverer report without having to create a complex folder on them.
And finally, you can always create a view or materialized view and use that MV in your Discoverer query.

Report with Multiple queries too slow in BI Publisher 11g

Hi, I have a report in 11g where i need to create multiple queries to show them in report. I tried to combine everything in one query, but i found that the query is too huge and hard to understand and maintain. I created 3 data sets and linked them together. In SQL dev, the main query is returning about 315 records and first detail query returns less than 100 records and second detail query is returning one record which is BLOB. Each query returns data within a couple of seconds from SQL Developer. The entire report from BI Publisher should be just 21 page PDF output. Did anyone face performance issues while running reports with multiple queries in 11g? I ran reports that have single query which returned 10K pages PDF and never had an issue while everthing is in one query. This is the first time Iam attempting to create multiple queries. Can someone help me understand what i might be doing wrong or missing here. Thank you.

Isn't there a way for you to do this via a Package/Procedure versus having multiple queries?
Per the BI Publisher guide,
Following are recommended guidelines for building data models:
Reduce the number of data sets or queries in your data model as much as possible. In general, the fewer data sets and queries you have, the faster your data model will run. While multiquery data models are often easier to understand, single-query data models tend to execute more quickly. It is important to understand that in parent-child queries, for every parent, the child query is executed.
You should only use multiquery data models in the following scenarios:
To perform functions that the query type, such as a SQL query, does not support directly.
To support complex views (for example, distributed queries or GROUP BY queries).
To simulate a view when you do not have or want to use a view.

Examples of Master with multiple details

Hi Leo,
I want to create Master with multiple details
I have been trying for the similar example (Master with multiple details) for long time.
It seems in the following link, you have mentioned that you have done such examples.
Examples/Demos of APEX applications with Master with Multiple Details.
Can you please share the solution to my emaid address [email protected]
Or can anybody help me to get such solution with examples step by step.
I would highly appreciate for any help.
Thanks.

Ok, so here's the rundown.
Create a page with one "master" html region. In that region create your standard text/date/etc. items. Make sure that one of these is a hidden key field that is the key linking the master and details portions. Use a calculation to pre-populate the field from a sequence (or whatever uniqueness generator you choose). It is important to generate this key up front for the processing.
Next I created one report region for each detail table I wanted to link in. Make sure to count the total number of fields you want to work with and that the total is LESS than 50. This is critical. The report should be selecting the columns from APEX_COLLECTIONS for display and manipulation on the screen. It is best to explicitly associate these to the Javascript column numbers now. I used a process to pre-populate my detail entry areas with default values for ease. I also included a button to add a row to each area, but you have to be careful here to use a good combination of form attributes so that the page refreshes don't SUBMIT yet.
Once you have a report region generated from APEX_COLLECTIONS, you have to create the update processes that pull the information from the user modifications into the collection. This is the trickiest part of the whole thing. You have to use the APEX_COLLECTION.UPDATE_ITEM method, and you have to refer to the JavaScript column numbers for the source value and the collection column number for the destination. It is really easy to get these confused - I advise putting this all into a document or on a whiteboard for reference.
Once you have the update processes written (I prefer writing one update process per detail section), write your processes to write the data to the database. Again, I suggest one process for each detail table. Trigger them to fire on submit.
I also suggest creating a debug page to display all of the various collections and to help keep things straight. Once you have one detail area working, it is easier to get the others working.
If you need actual code snippets, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

Error while posting Customer with Multiple sales areas using DEBMAS05.

Dear experts,
We are generating IDOCS vis SAP DS for posting Customer master. The message type used is DEBMAS and basic type is DEBMAS05. we have a requirement to create 1 customer with multiple sales areas. However, we are ending up with a strange error: "Fill all required fields SAPMF02D 0111 ADDR1_DATA-NAME1". Despite the IDOC going into status 51, the customer gets created and the 1st sales area too. the 2nd sales area however is not created! The IDOC data definitely contains Name1, otherwise the customer would not have been created in the first place.
As the error message is related to the Address data, I also explored upon exploring this erorr further on the lines of Central Address management where in the ADRMAS and DEBMAS have to be passed together(IDOC Serialiization). OSS Note (384462) provides further details about this. One Important point from the note is:
"As you have to specify the logical name of the sending system among other things, SAP is not able to make any default settings in the standard systems. When you use the serialization groups delivered as a standard by SAP, the address objects are imported before the master objects.Thus the sequence address data before master objects must only be adhered to if one of the following points applies to your application:
Such fields are set as required entry fields that are only provided by the BAS in the Customizing of the customer or vendor master.
For your customers, contact persons exist to which a private address or a different business address is assigned.".
This is not the case in our situation, as we do not have required entry fields in customizing that are only provided by the BAS, so the error is all the more confusing and I am not too sure what the cause is.
If someone have experienced the same issue before and have found a solution to it, kindly help out.

I have found the cause and solution to this problem.
This error ”Fill all required fields SAPMF02D 0111 ADDR1_DATA-NAME1” and other similar errors like “Fill all required fields SAPMF02D 0111 ADDR1_DATA-SORT1“ which occurrs during the IDOC posting when there are more than one sales area or company code occurs when the customer number range is set up for Internal numbering. This means, that the number gets generated only at the time of save and upon debugging the IDOC, we found out that after creating the customer and the first sales area/company code record, the segment E1KNA1M is cleared completely! This is the reason, it throws an error which points to a mandatory KNA1 field as missing. (Like NAME1, SORT1 etc.)
This was resolved by splitting the IDOC into 2.
The solution is to First post only the KNA1 segment and create the customer.
In the second step, pass the IDOC with all other segments along with E1KNA1M, but pass only KUNNR in E1KNA1M and the rest of the fields in E1KNA1M as “/”: you would have got the KUNNR after the first step.
Important note: This requirement to split the IDOCs does not occur when the customer number is known upfront. (Meaning cases where the customer number is externally generated) I also tested this and created a customer with external numbering and I was able to post more than 1 sales area with the same IDOC.
I noticed multiple threads with the same issue, but none of it had a concrete answer. I hope this information will be useful for anyone facing similar problems.
Cheers

Bursting a report with multiple queries

Hi,
I need to set-up bursting in BIP for a report with multiple queries. The output format is pdf and delivery is through e-mail. Since the queries need to be linked, I'm trying to do this using data template. I've set-up split and burst based on a field (store_id) from the first query which is used as a bind variable in the subsequent queries. So I'd ideally want the report to be split based on store_id. The report works fine if I use a parameter for store_id and view the output by store_id. When I try to schedule the report for bursting, it generates and e-mails the reports but only the last report appears to have correct data output while the others have only the output from the first query (and all other queries appear to return nothing in the report).
Any suggestions on what could be the issue here? Thanks!
Here is the data template for the report:

Hello user6428199,
When you use ":Q1_STORE_ID" in your queries, BI Publisher looks for a report parameter named Q1_STORE_ID. Change all your report queries to get data for all the store_id's available. As you are bursting the report using the store_id as the bursting key, BI Publisher will split the report based on the stored_id and delivers content based on it. No matter how many queries you may have, BI Publisher will loop through all the store_id's available and all the queries will return data for that particular id in a report.
Thanks,
Machaan

Master with multiple details

(JHeadstart release 10.1.2.) I can make a master with multiple detail pages work (displayed on the same page or different pages), except under one condition. Assume the following situation:
Master: View object A based on entity A
Detail 1: View object B based on entity B with a modified WHERE clause
Detail 2: View object C based on entity B (yes, same entity object as view object B) with a WHERE clause different than the one for view object B
A one-to-many view link exists between view object A and view object B, and another exists between view object A and view object C. The query for each of the view objects is standard (i.e., no expert-mode queries). The master and the two detail view objects (via their respective view links) are assigned to an application module.
I created a JHeadstart application structure file for the application module with Struts and UIX. I added view object A as the top group (table-form layout). I next added view object B as a detail group (form layout, same page) beneath view object A. I finally added view object C as a detail group (form layout, same page) beneath view object A (i.e., parallel to view object B). The module generated and built cleanly.
I ran the application, entered a master record, and saved the data. When I pressed the button to create a new record for detail 1 (view object B), fields appeared for the pages for detail 1 and detail 2 (view object C), not just detail 1. Also, the value of the Descriptor Attribute from the master record that linked it to the two detail pages populated the corresponding field in both of the displayed pages for the detail records.
This behavior does not occur if view object C (detail 2) is based on an entity different than view object B. Will JHeadstart allow a master to have multiple details where the details are based on the same entity object? Thanks.
Ray

Ray,
Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the problem. I filled in the A, B and C using a scott/tiger schema as follows:
A: Departments
B: All employees having a salary < 1000
C: All employees having a salary >= 1000
Then I created an application module with one group having two subgroups everything same page, just like you specified. Everything seemed to work fine. Do you have any idea what's different in your situation.

Report with multiple dimensions in Row and Column with EvEXP

Hi
We are currently running BPC 7.0 SP3 and try to create the report(or schedule) with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column.
e.g.
row dimension : Outer row is Entity, Inner row is Account
column dimension : Outer column is Time, Inner row is Category
We created the report with 2 x 2 dimensions like above e.g. with EvEXP and EvNXP, NOT EvDRE
based on default dynamic template:Template13.xlt(Nested Row, 2 x 1 dimensions defined by EvEXP and EvNXP formula).
However, when expanding the dimension with double click these dimensions or change CV of the report with 2 x 2 dimensions defined by EvEXP and EvNXP formula,
error occurs on EvEXP and EvNXP formula and can't retrieve the result correctly.
[Question]
Can't we create the report with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column using EvEXP and EvNXP function ?
We understand that we can make the report with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column if using EvDRE.
Thank You in advance
Kenya

Thank you for your advice.
I understand that we should use EvDRE when creating the report with multiple dimension in the row/column　because EvEXP have some erros, poor performance, etc.
Then, we have two questions.
1)
>plus they had some errors in the designs.
what kind of errors they have as an example?
2)
>If you must build the EVEXP and EVNXP, I would suggest building the template from scratch
We built the simple template with just 2 x 2 dimension from scratch.
But this report doesn't work well when double-click the dimension or changing CV...
Would you please check the following template?
<https://sapmats-de.sap-ag.de/download/download.cgi?id=RCZE1ME4YSORY3DCDO4NNMANZLBL1L5ZBUOB2F71YVNVS8XDJW>
It would be greatly appreciated if you could give me your advice for the template.
Thank you again
And my best regards,
Kenya

Report with multiple tabs

Hi,
I have a report with multiple tabs in selection screen. Say material number is mandatory in the first tab. But we don't need material number in the second tab. But if I want to go to the 2nd tab, i get the error message 'Please enter the material number'. Can this be avoided?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Paromita,

a) There are multiple tabs on selection screen. Out of which the first tab has a mandatory field i.e., Material Number. And then there are other tabs.
b) So, unless and until you provide the value in first tab for the material number(which is a mandatory field), you cannot navigate to the second tab or any other tab for that matter.
So, ideally the second and rest of other tabs are mutually dependent on the first tab's information as it has a mandatory field. Unless and until you make the first tab inactive it will not let you enter data in the second tab and so on.
So, to ideally enable input in second tab, make the first tab inactive. Try this and let me know if it works.

Master with multiple details page, is there an example out there?

Many hints and suggestions can be found on this forum about building a page with a master with multiple details page. But is there a working example somewhere? It looks quite complicated to me.
Also I would like to know if it is because of my Oracle Forms background that I miss the possibility of building this kind of forms in application express. Are there other ways to setup the pages so that you can do without them?
thanks Rene

Let me elaborate on my requirements a bit:
The form I want to create should look like this:
Master
Atrtibute_1
Attribute_2
Attribute_3
Attribute_4
Details_1 Add Delete
[] item1 (read-only)
[] item2 (read only)
Details_2 Add Delete
[] item1 (read-only)
[] item2 (read only)
So basically it should be possible to maintain several lists of items that belong to the master record. Checkboxes allow the user to select records for deletion. The Add button shows a pop-up window that lets the user select an item to add.

Examples/Demos of APEX applications with Master with Multiple Details.

Trying to get my head round the way to best method/approach to present / allow a user to select / maintain a Master table and then maintain multiple Detail tables that are for the current Master. Typically in my Forms days I would have used tab canvases as placeholders for maintaining the related individual detail table rows. But in the APEX world tabs are used as top level page navigational items. Are there any demos, tutorials or articles on how to implement Master with multiple Details using simple APEX pages with minimal bespoke HTML and Javascript intervention.

Hi Leo,
I have been trying for the similar example (Master with multiple details) for long time.
But i did not get the solution. Can you please share the solution to my emaid address [email protected]
Thanks in advance.

BI+ Reporting With Multiple Data Sources

Hi -
We've been using BI+ Reports with multiple data sources on separate grids. We are wondering if there is a better way to ensure the user has their point of view bar in sync between the the data sources. In our case, both Data Sources are separate HFM applications with all the dimensions identical except the account which is defined on the report. We are not using Metadata Management.
I'm aware of the "Merge Equivalent Prompts" in the Preferences > Financial Reporting window, but this does not always ensure the users have the same point of view.
What practice are other companies using to make sure the user runs the reports accurately with both point of view bars pulling the same entity/year/period.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your answer, however my question - I know it looks quite messy - is not directly related to data templates, my problem is that at the moment I am using a stored procedure following - almost exactly - what another procedure does in oracle EBS to call a BI publisher report.
1. This procedure populates some temporary table with the xml data where the concurrent request picks it up and uses it to populate the BI publisher template.
2. However I can't go and specify the XML location in my data template as this is not an option for us (i.e. reading the xml from the temporary table), so I am looking for another way to populate the BI publisher template (Note: I can't as well include the SQL queries in my Data template).
Thanks ;)

Report from multiple subject areas

Hi,
I need to create a report from multiple subject areas. I am not sure whether it;s possible in OBIEE answers.
Is there any other tool from OBIEE suite where I can design it?
Thanks

Yes, i can see datatype and number of columns is same in both queries.
i have challanges to copy message but Error message seems to general. Error says (near to FROM) and I checked there are three FROM in query and all seems to be ok
Query is something like as below
select SA1.col1 saw_0,
SA1.col2 saw_1,
SA2.col1 saw_2,
SA2.col2 saw_3,
FROM
(select col1 saw_0, col2 saw_1 from "subject area1") SA1
FULL OUTER JOIN
(select col1 saw_0, col2 saw_1 from "subject area2") SA2
ON SA1.col1 = SA2.col1
I can't see any issue in the query...please comment.

CDs with multiple artists are added to the library multiple times I want to be able to add the artwork to all.

CDs with multiple artists are added to the library multiple times. Usually one has the artwork. I want to add the artwork to the others. The instructions are inaccurate. I tried it several ways and it does not work. How do I add the artwork shown on one of the albums to the other albums (same album, different artists)?

Try Ethernet over Power adapters.. these are very popular for your kind of environment.. being able to make non-wireless link to another area where you can setup a wireless access point.
Airport Express are not great for wireless power.. if you really have issues with wireless strength in a bad environment apple stuff is not the way to go.
The comparison chart here.
http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/lanwan/router-charts/bar/58-2_4-ghz-dn?see=P_F
This is their worst test location you can also see averages.. the latest airport extreme.. is there a long way down.. and that is a much better wireless device than Airport Express.
The Ubiquiti power AP is small cheap and designed for precisely this duty.. useless in an apple wireless network.. you will need to run ethernet or EOP adapters back to the main router.. but if the normal omni directional antennas don't provide enough signal you can get directional ones.. I suspect you can cover your whole apartment with a pair of these and high gain directional antenna.
