Reporting configuration template

Hi,
I am looking for a template to document the reporting configuration in CRM On Demand Answers.
I could not find one on metalink, does anyone know if there is a template available?
Thanks in advance

Ingeborg

Ingeborg,
There isn't a template to document reporting but I can send you what I use if you send me an email alex.neill@{see profile}
cheers

Custom report row template

Few questions when using a custom report row template. Followup to the discussion Report Row Template: Column condition
1. The row template allows full control how the entire row is rendered. I can see this being used when the report query returns a single row and we need to format it in a very specific way. But when the query returns multiple rows, how is the specified Row Template used? i.e the first row is "consumed" and rendered as per the template. If the same process is repeated for subsequent rows, how can we control whether successive rows are rendered across the page (left to right) or down the page (top to bottom)?
2. When a custom row template is used to render a tabular form, the hidden columns (marked Edit=Y, Show=N on Report Attributes) are present in the markup even when they are not specified in the row template! i.e. the MRU process works. Of course, this is a good thing but I was curious to know what exactly controls this, what part of the report template controls where the hidden form elements are placed?
3. Any number/date formatting specified declaratively on the Column Attributes page appears to be taken into account when column values are substituted in the template using #COL# notation. But all the other Column Attributes are ignored (alignment, sum, show, link, etc). Is there a way to use the Link attribute to declaratively specify the link so the value of the column #COL# as seen by the report template includes the A tag?
Thanks

Comments? Thanks

Report Row Template - header

Hi
I have made a custom "Report Row Template". I have write the "header" direct in the html code. Is that a problem if i want to translate the application? Is there a way how to use the headers from the apex?

Jesper Vels

Hello Jesper,
OK, I can see now what you are trying to do. Unfortunately, the only similar example I'm familiar with - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:108 – Is also using hard coded text for the headings.
I can show you how to get to these headings, and how to use them on your template, but I'm afraid this is not a generic solution, as I couldn't find an active substitution string for the column headers.
As there isn't any variables to hold these column names, we need to define our own. You can do that using an application items or hidden page items. Let's say I defined three hidden items on my report page: P1_HD1, P1_HD2, P1_HD3. Each item will be defined with Source Type of SQL Query, and Source Use of "Only when …". The Source Value for the first item will be as follow:
select heading
from FLOWS_020200.APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_RPT_COLS
where APPLICATION_ID=:APP_ID and
       PAGE_ID=:APP_PAGE_ID and
       DISPLAY_SEQUENCE = 1;The DISPLAY_SEQUENCE should change according to the sequence of the column.
If you choose to use an application items, you'll need to use a before header computation on your report page, with the same query, to populate the application items.
In order to use these items in the report template, we need to use the "&P1_HD1." notation. You can have something like this, for the first header in your report query:
<tr><td>&P1_HD1.: </td><td>#1#</td>   . . .Hope this helps,
Arie.

Generate Report From Template (Excel).vi & don't understand to fill the cells

I am trying to use the Generate Report From Template (Excel).vi to build my own template, and then fill it with some of my datas. I am trying to replace the "temperature" or "pressure" labels by others, and then fill them with my vi. I don't understand how labview find the location of the labels in the excel template.
Thanks in advance

Configuration Template Builder WL8.1 does not work

Hello,
     After spending nearly 2 days now trying to get a Configuration Template
built, I've concluded this simply does not work. Has anyone used the
Config Template builder to package a semi-complex application on top of WLI?
     I'm trying to have 2 of my applications, the JMS and JDBC resources,
and a WLI event generator packaged up for easy deployment to someone
else's server configuration. The problem with this is that there are
required resources for WLI, namely a database. The Pointbase database
included for WLI does not get included in the template automatically.
There are also some flat-out bugs:
If you choose to include a resource adapter "application", such as
jms-xa-adp.rar, the template builder does not bundle this in the
template and deploy it correctly. The template builder restricts you to
putting applications in the relative path starting at ./
For jms-xa-adp.rar, its original location is in $WL_HOME/server/lib, and
the template builder defaults to put it in ./lib of your template.
However, when you create a domain with the template, jms-xa-adp.rar does
not get placed in your ./lib directory. This causes you to then go and
manually edit your config.xml to point back at $WL_HOME/server/lib or to
manually copy jms-xa-adp.rar into your ./lib directory (which the
template mechanism should do for you).
Relative paths in the config.xml file require you to execute the config
builder from the directory of the domain you are making a template for.
The template builder should instead be smart enough to realize that
relative paths in the config.xml file are relative to the directory that
the config.xml is in, not the one you are running the template builder
from. You'll get an error when trying to create the template cause it
won't find the resources if you're not in that directory.
If anyone has successfully used this to package a WLI application in a
template, please share your experiences and how to do so. In the
meantime, I'm claiming there is no way to nicely package up a server
configuration for a WLI app in Weblogic, and this is a big shortcoming.
Weblogic needs a simple transferrable way of creating server
configurations (it tries to do this with the template, but that is
failing). With JBoss, for example, you simply copy your server directory
into another installation. This doesn't work with Weblogic unfortunately
because it puts hard-coded paths in the config.xml file.
Thanks

Russ,
     Thank you for the detailed responses. The only one I'm currently
struggling with still is the #5, with the scripts between the two. One
of the major benefits of using a J2EE App Server is supposed to be the
portability between servers. I find it disconcerting that BEA Weblogic
restricts me to the platform I created the domain on by creating
platform-specific startup/shutdown scripts for only the platform created
on. It's understandable that a script converter would be difficult, but
at least both the .sh/.cmd files should be created from the first time
you make a domain. If the user only wants one or the other, they can
delete the appropriate one. It's also understandable that the
users/deployers shouldn't have to manually convert a startup/shutdown
script to take the domain to a different box.
     JBoss clearly has BEA beat on ease of deployment here. Their model is
the concept I'm thinking of: you have some generic startup/shutdown
scripts that can load a platform-independent server configuration. You
truly can copy directories as-is between JBoss installations.
     I was hoping to package up a server domain for use on any of the
supported platforms, but since I don't have the time to manually convert
the startup/shutdown scripts, I'm going to have to tell people it's only
for Solaris now.
     Hopefully BEA can fix this in a future SP. There's no need for this
platform-dependency. Also, if the Windows version can generate both
scripts at creation time, then the Solaris should be able to do this as
well (or at least give you the option).
Thanks again for the replies

Hi Steven,
I have several comments and questions about your last two posts. I will try to
address them in order.
1) "The Pointbase database included for WLI does not get included in the template
automatically."
     By default the template builder only includes the *.cmd and *.sh files in the
template from your domain directory. If you begin building with an existing
domain template all files that were in the template will get included. This was
done because there is no way for the builder to automatically determine all the
files that are required by your template/domain and we steered away from recursively
including all files from the directory so that unused files were not needlessly
included. We can extrapolate some files based on the application paths in the
config.xml, but the rest is left up to the template builder to be aware of what
is needed for their domain to run. So, if you need the Pointbase *.dbn and *.wal
files included in your template just select these files on the ?Add Files? panel
of the template builder and add them to the ?Domain Directory?.
2) ?If you choose to include a resource adapter "application", such as jms-xa-adp.rar,
the template builder does not bundle this in the template and deploy it correctly.?
     The template builder considers application files to be in two categories: Imported
or Internal. When you are at the ?Add Applications? panel of the builder you
will see a checklist of all the applications that are in the domain you selected.
On the right hand side there are two text fields. The top one displays the application
path as it is currently set in the config.xml of that domain. The bottom field
will be different depending on what category the application falls into. As you
click on each application in the list, you may notice that the bottom field may
change from an editable field titled ?Imported Application Path? to a non-editable
field titled ?Internal Application Path?. The difference between the two categories
is that an ?Imported? application?s files will be included in the template jar.
An ?Internal? application?s files will not be included in the template jar because
they are considered internal to the weblogic installation. The jms-xa-adp.rar
should fall into the internal category and should not get included in your template.
     From what you are describing it sounds like the builder attempted to import that
application when it should not have. In an attempt to recreate the problem you
are seeing I deployed that Connector Module through the WLS console and ended
up with an application path of ?C:\bea\weblogic81\server\lib? where ?C:\bea\weblogic81?
is my WL_HOME (a.k.a. USER_INSTALL_DIR). If I then attempt to build a template
from this domain, the builder recognizes this as an internal path and does not
include it inside my template. If the current application path you had looks
different from the one above, that may explain why the builder was attempting
to import it. What was the value of the ?Current Application Path? for that application
deployment?
3) ?Relative paths in the config.xml file require you to execute the config builder
from the directory of the domain you are making a template for.?
     The builder is ?smart? enough to determine relative paths. You should not have
to invoke it from the domain directory you are working with. There is a known
bug in the WebLogic Platform 8.1.1.0 release of the template builder that will
cause it to not find files with relative paths in your domain directory if the
application path in the config.xml is just a ?.?. If this is the case, you should
see a FileNotFoundException when you attempt to create the template. This will
be fixed in SP2 and you can work around this problem by changing those paths to
?./? instead. If this was not the case, what was the path the wizard choked
on?
4) ?Looking through the config file, it seems that it's all of the WLI components
that have absolute paths in the config file. In addition, BEA_WLS_DBMS_ADK has
an absolute path, not sure if that is WLI or WLS. ?
     BEA_WLS_DBMS_ADK is an integration application. If you created the original
domain using the configuration wizard most of the applications in an integration
enabled domain will reference paths inside of you installation directory or ?internal?
paths. For instance, I used the wizard to create a ?Basic WebLogic Integration
Domain?. The path for that application in this domain is: ?C:\bea\weblogic81/integration/adapters/dbms/lib/BEA_WLS_DBMS_ADK.ear?
where ?C:\bea\weblogic81? is my WL_HOME or USER_INSTALL_DIR. When I load this
domain into the builder it shows this application as ?internal? and the ?Internal
Application Path? is "$USER_INSTALL_DIR$/integration/adapters/dbms/lib/BEA_WLS_DBMS_ADK.ear".
This will be set as the path value of this application in the config.xml that
will be included in the template you build. When you later use the Configuration
Wizard on this template it will substitute the $USER_INSTALL_DIR$ to the value
of the installation directory of the machine you are creating it on.
     If you were to Change these to relative paths, as Mark previously suggested,
it will only work if you copy the domain directory to the same location relative
to your installation directory on the target machine. Also, if you copy the domain
in this manner you will more than likely run into problems with your start/stop
scripts and be forced to hand modify all the paths contained within. The configuration
wizard tries to alleviate these problems and make the configuration entirely portable.
This gives the user who creates the domain from your template the ability to
put it anywhere they want regardless of the paths in the config.xml.
5) ?However, there is another major problem with the Template Builder: it only
includes the startup/shutdown script for the platform you create the template
on. ???I built the template on Solaris with the UNIX scripts. However, I tried
to create a new config on Windows with this template, and the scripts were not
converted to .bat files!?
     As I stated previously, the builder will only include *.cmd and *.sh scripts
into your template by default. If you created the domain on a unix platform using
the configuration wizard it will not extract the *.cmd files since these aren?t
considered to be useful on unix. If you were then to attempt building a template
from this domain and take it onto a windows platform, it will obviously be missing
any windows scripts. Conversely, the wizard will extract *.sh scripts on windows
because they can still be useful if a user has an MKS or Cygwin type environment
installed. The config wizard and template builder do not have the ability to convert
scripts. The builder will only include existing scripts that are in your domain
directory and automatically determine any necessary string substitutions that
will be needed. Please note that since WebLogic is only supported on the NT/2K/XP
versions of windows you will find that the wizards use ?.cmd? files and not ?.bat?
files since these are more commonly associated with Win 95/98/ME.
     I will be happy to answer any more questions you may have and would also like
to take a look at your domain configuration to try and get a better understanding
of the problems you are encountering.
thanx,
russ

WORD Error message -- Report from Template

Hello everyone,
I try to generate a "Report from Template" with transaction CG03.
I can select the generation variant and the parameter values in the next two pop-ups.
WORD is starting but then there is the error message:
"Word cannot read this document. Maybe it is corrupted. Try the following:
- open and repair the file
- open file with repair-textconverter".
This message is a translation from german to english so the correct messagt might differ from this.
When I look at my frontend PC in the local settings I see that the respective files are written, but I can´t open them.
This problem started two days ago out of nowwhere.
Additional information: Visual Basic pops up after the error message is closed with "runtime error '1055'.
A debugger is opened and this is the content of the window:
Private Sub TmpDDE()

End Sub
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance for your help!!!!

Hello Christoph
any change happened on your client? New Windows version? New Word Version? New WWI Version installed? Did you manupulated Standad Dot path etc.? Did you change Standard.dot of Word?
Can you open in cg54/cg50 any document (ready, released or historic) without a problem and the problem is related only to "report from template"?
During WWI process a number of files are passed on to your client. Can you use Wordpad to open the files? I am not sure but I believe per WWI document there should be something like 4 or 5 documents in your local WWI path. One containing the data, one containing the template and some others (named something like resfil, lesfil etc.).
An error like you described is normally related to one of the above mentioned changes. Can you use "Report from template "regarding the same spec, same genvariant same language with a different client without a problem => then it is clear you have a local problem
With best regards
C.B.

CG02 Report from Template error when starting the display application

System info: SAP GUI 720 (patch 10007878), ECC 6.0, SAP_APPL/EA-APPL 605, WWI 2.7 (patch 20000084)
Hi, folks.
I was able to execute CG02 'Report from Template' function. My local MS Word 2003 would open successfully to display the report as expected. Suddenly, I couldn't do that anymore. I'm now getting msg "An error occurred when starting the display application" (C$772). And I didn't change anything.
Any clue to what has happened or why it is happening? In my Word, I have 'C:\Program Files\SAP\FrontEnd\SAPgui\wwi' set as the file location for User templates. What else should I check?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Caroline.
Thanks for pointing me (back) to it! (I've encountered a similar issue with the same param back in 2010...)
I'm positive that the problem started after I tried to run the transaction code (of my custom report program that does the CG02 'Report from Template' function) from the web gui ('You Can Also' menu function). Somehow, the standard SAP fms within It changed the param ESWWI_INST value from 'EXISTFRONT' to 'WWISERVER'. So when I ran CG02 and the WWI server is not available yet, I received the error msg.

Alv report using templates........urgent

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what is meant by ALV report using template. I have worked on ALV reports. Can you throw some light on USING TEMPLATE. If anybody have some document. please send it to me.

Hi
Check whether any templates defined in your orgn for different types of objects.
For example for ALV reports so and so template and for Scripts something defined.
A template means I feel a std way of displaying data as per the orgn process/standards.
check for that.
Or use the same Std function modules and display the data and enquire further what's the template is?
Reward points if useful

Advice on saving report configurations

Hey everyone.
I'm looking for some feedback on saving a report configuration. Basically I will have a series of drop downs for a report to be generated. For example on a downtime report, the user wants to generate 10 charts in the report, first chart; Line1, Unplanned Stops, Depalletizer, Feed Jam. Second chart Line 2, Scheduled Stops, PM, Conveyor, Electrical, etc etc. They will then hit the submit button where I will generate the charts for them. They want to set up the 10 charts, then "save" the configuration, so that when the user goes back to the page later, even after logging off xMII, they don't have to configure all 10 charts again.
Each of the drop downs will be data driven browser objects. I'm using xMII 11.5 My ideas for this are;
1) Save the settings to a SQL table, by username (I have about 1500 users corporate wide)
2) Cookie, this would make the report dependant on the client machine though.
3) XML file, saved by on the server (probably my least favorite option)
I was wondering if anybody has done something like this before, and what experience they have had before I commit to a design. I'm open to ideas.

Option #1 is the best way to have the user persistance. Having an adminstration screen for deleting and/or viewing other user created reports then becomes as simple as an SQLQuery with an iGrid and iCommand.

Jeremy

Copy AP Configuration Templates-WCS 7.0.172.0

I am wondering if anyone has seen a way to copy an AP configuration template. We have several distribution centers and the templates are essentially identical other than the Template name and the AP Group VLAN (different for each DC). We set up a new template for each new DC. Being able to copy a template, rename it and change the Group VLAN setting would save a lot of time.

I haven't been able to make it work like it was in prior versions. I have found you can initiate the session from monitor-->access points--->ap name and selecting the radio type. 802.11b/g/n, or 802.11a/n. The icon is under cleanair management operation.

Oracle 11g Fusion Middleware (11.1.1.3.0) Report Configuration Issue

Oracle 11g Fusion Middleware (11.1.1.3.0) Report Configuration Issue
=============================================
Hi All,
I have installed Oracle 11g Fusion Middleware (11.1.1.3.0) on Oracle Linux 5 and getting some issues while configuring. What's happening is that when I run my report, it looks for the library attached to it. If I define the REPORTS_PATH in reports.sh, it works fine.
What I want to achieve is to push reports to use REPORTS_PATH environment variable from rwserver.conf instead of reports.sh
Someone told me to remove the REPORTS_PATH from reports.sh and add the REPORTS_PATH from reports.sh to a default.env in rwserver.conf, but it didn't worked.
What I know about the report server stuff in 11g Fusion Middleware is that it consists of two different servers (Standalone and In Process). Our application runs report using SRW.RUN_REPORT which basically use In Process report server setting in rwserver.conf to run the report.
The heirarchy in which reports try to look for the REPORTS_PATH is
1) REPORTS.sh
2) rwserver.conf
3) Settings as per Oracle Enterprise Manager Configuration Settings.
My standalone report server name is ReportsServer_hostname_asinst_F and the In Process Server name is rep_wls_reports_hostname_asinst_frd. When I define rep_wls_reports_hostname_asinst_frd (In process Report Server Name) for the server name parameter, I do not get any results for the report run using srw.run_report. Also I can't see the reason behind the report executed because of the following issue
http://hostname:8888/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=rep_wls_reports_hostname_asinst_frd
REP-51019: System user authentication is missing.
** the Singlesignon in rwservlet.properties is defined as no
But when I define ReportsServer_hostname_asinst_F (Standalone Report Server Name) as server parameter and ran the report using srw.run_report, I get result with the REPORTS_PATH defined in reports.sh not using rwserver.conf file.
http://hostname:8888/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=ReportsServer_hostname_asinst_F
(which shows the report just run).
Can someone who did Report Server configuration using ENV files (changing rwserver.conf), pls. send me the screenshots. Want to make sure if I am changing the correct files under correct location.
Pls. feel free to ask me questions related to the environment set up.
Thanks

App-V: A Configuration Template for Deploying to Stateless RDS Clients on Citrix Published Desktops with Citrix UPM for Profile Management

Please Vote if you find this to be helpful!
App-V: A Configuration Template for Deploying to Stateless RDS Clients on Citrix Published Desktops with Citrix UPM for Profile Management
Just posted this to the wiki:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/25318.app-v-a-configuration-template-for-deploying-to-stateless-rds-clients-on-citrix-published-desktops-with-citrix-upm-for-profile-management.aspx

I would not recommend this and keep the package cache and the client on the same non-persistent drive and enable the Shared Content Store. If you separate the cache and the App-V client they could get out of sync and strange behaviour can occur.
You can use a temporary local profile with Citrix UPM or UE-V and specify what to roam/save.
You can use the Shared Content Store so packages will stream over the network. When the user logs on there is a publishing phase where shortcuts etc are created for the user, this will take some time.
Are you using the App-V full infrastructure?
Are you using a boot disk, partition or PXE in combination with PVS?
