Reporting Tools for Hyper-V 2008 R2

Are there any documenting or reporting tools for Hyper-V 2008 R2? I just need to get a list of all VM guest running and their associated VHD files along with where those VHD's are stored.
Thanks!

Sam,
Thanks, we are at the start of an upgrade from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2. Just needed an easier way to pull information about the current environment like what location each VHD for each VM is located and if there are any snap shots saved, etc.
Just planning ahead to help make the migration easier. The current environment is a mixture of CSV's and direct LUN's. So it should be interesting when we start our migration planning.
Noticed you are from the King of Prussia area? Just spent a few weeks over at the Hilton Garden Inn at Valley Forge.

Using AE(htmldb 2.0) as for reporting tool for other oracle databases.

Maybe I was mistaken, but when I first saw the HTMLDB demo's I saw this as a slick way to build a browser based reporting tool for the masses for quasi-ad-hoc reporting on some of our larger databases that currently have limited reporting capability, and also as a possible replacement for the many MSAccess applets we have.
I just got 2.0 installed and working on a 9i database and went through the basic tutorials, but I can't find much info on how to connect to other oracle databases.
Are my options as follows?:
create dblinks from the local database that houses htmldb to all the other databases?
or
install htmldb schemas on each database I want to access from htmldb?
or
I'll keep looking, but if any of you have any pointers or know of a tutorial that explains the best way to do this it would be greatly appreciated!

As for question 1, yep, that's what I mean. Example:
In a schema in the App Express instance, create a user called "APP1_USER", and then
create view app1_user.people as select * from people@link_user@remotedb
As for the next question, using the built-in insert/update/delete processes will give you
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
among other errors. Apparently version 2.1 will fix this. See Cannot Update VARCHAR column in Remote DB
We address this problem by creating pl/sql APIs for DML, and then writing our own insert/update processes. Slows us down a little, but even with that, App Express remains a productive choice for us.
Another weird problem: auto-row fetch (built-in to HTML DB) doesn't work over db links when you have two columns for a primary key. Many ways around this, e.g. create sequence-populated primary key, create a view with single column that concatenates primary key column values (key1|key2)
Hope this helps!

An error in Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

Greetings from Peru,
We have a problem with one of the Crystal Reports products weu2019d like you to help us with. We work with Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008.
The error weu2019ve detected is in one of our systemu2019s reports; this report shows data inside frames. When the content to show is larger (in height) than the space left in the page, the container object of the report makes a line break keeping the title and the frame empty at the end of that page, but the information is shown in the next page. What we need is that not empty frame is displayed.
Weu2019ve tried to solve this problem by adjusting the report in different ways (by programming coding), but unfortunately this problem is related to how much data is displayed, because if this data fit in the space left in the page, the line break would not occurs and the data is shown at the end of the same page.
We hope you can help us with this issue. I look forward to your comments.

All I can think of is trying CR 2008 (v.12.x). You can obtain an eval copy from here:

Deploying Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

I have Windows Forms project using Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008
I can't find the merge module to include in the setup project like I used to do in Visual Studio .NET 2003
Everyone seems to say that they don't exist for that version of Crystal Reports
After searching for a long time I found something about a package located at
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bootstrapper\Packages\CrystalReports10_5\CRRedist2008_x86.msi
Tried it and it seems to work.
Do I have to install this to the client computer ? Is that the only way having a "Crystal Reports Basic Runtime for Visual Studio 2008" in the program list of the client computer ?

Hi Victor,
We can download all the runtimes from the following link:
[https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/bobj_download/main.htm]

Deploying crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008 for VB6

My application has a module in .net and other in vb6.
I have a problem on deploying crystal reports in client machines, for module in vb6.
The vb6 application uses crystal viewer control obtained from crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008.
What type of deployment should I use?
Currently, I have a setup with prerequisite "crystal reports basic for visual studio 2008".
But I think it misses the dlls crviewer.dll and craxddrt.dll, so I put them in setup and with the register COM options, and it works, but it's not working very well.
When I open a form that uses crystal viewer, the setup (I have created) is lunched and says that have to restart machine. Then it opens the report, but the next time I use the application it does the same thing.

Ok, thank's for the posts, they help so much.
So I'm going to discard vb6 and move to .NET, but... there is a problem:
Many reports have parameters that are asked before showing the report.
The Crystal Viewer that is used in VB6 version isn't the same used in .NET.
The viewer of VB6 asks the parameters in the way we want, however the .NET crystal viewer ask's the parameters in way that we don't like, because we have to do next -> next -> next...
The links above show the diferences:
VB6 -> http://picasaweb.google.com.br/paulo.gonc/CrystalReports#5249249283702618322
.NET -> http://picasaweb.google.com.br/paulo.gonc/CrystalReports#5249246459437178242
There is a way to configure Crystal Viewer, so that parameters asking form will work like the vb6 away?

Keycode missing in Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008

I just upgraded from Visual Studio 2005 Professional to Visual Studio 2008 Professional (with SP1 installed also). Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 is listed as installed under the VS Help dialog, but no key code is shown. And when I attempt to open a Crystal Report, I get a dialog saying 'Please wait while Windows configures Crystal Reports Basic', which eventually terminates with an 'Invalid Keycode' message.
I've tried repairing the Visual Studio install, and even uninstalling and reinstalling the whole thing. To no avail.
Other facts: My VS 2005 version still works with its version of Crystal Reports. I am running Vista Professional. Looking in the registry, under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Crystal Decisions | Crystal Reports | VSNET | Keycodes | CR9 NET, I see a Type REG_SZ with a data value in the form xxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [6 chars-7 chars-26 chars].
Help! How do I get Crystal Reports Basic for Visual Studio 2008 to work?

Hi Elaine,
Thanks for your response. I do have versions of Visual Studio 2003 and Visual Studio 2005 on my machine, and the earlier versions of Crystal Reports worked with these versions. In addition to the registry key I cited earlier (which I now understand is a VS 2003 version), there is an entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Crystal Decisions | Crystal Reports | 10.2 | Crystal Reports | KeyCodes | CR Ent. I see that you are correct, and this corresponds to my VS 2005 installation (which still works). However, there is NO entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Crystal Decisions | Crystal Reports | 10.5 (the CR Basic for Visual Studio 2008 path you indicated). There is an entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE | SOFTWARE | Business Objects | 10.5 | Crystal Reports, but it has only keys for ChartSupportPath, CommonFiles, DisablecheckForUpdates, and Path.
The Windows\assembly folder has 25 files that are CrystalDecisions.xxx, version 10.5.3700.0. This is consistent with my seeing 'Crystal Reports' listed as installed in VS 2008 Help. But no KeyCode!
I tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of VS 2008, without luck. I can't clean my system of earlier verions of Crystal Reports, because I am still supporting a body of work that I did under VS 2005, and I can't convert all this stuff to 2008 -- at least until I have a fully working VS 2008 suite. After this experience, I fear that if I were to uninstall an earlier version, i might never get it back!
I've spend quite a few hours on this with no luck, so any help would be enormously appreciated.

[Reports]   The best reporting tool for JDeveloper 10g

Hi,
Which is the best reporting tool for JDeveloper 10g: JasperReports, Crystal Reports or something else? I want to build parametric and rather complex reports but I don't know which tool offers more features, flexibility, ease of use , ... . I've built some simple parametric reports using JasperReports and JDeveloper 10g but I think it's not so productive and may need something more, maybe iReport. Does anyone have any ideas?
S/\EE|)

Hi Saeed,
I'lm using Jasper too, and here is an example of how i pass to it some variables:
     <parameter name="theWantedId" isForPrompting="false" class="java.lang.Integer"/>
     <queryString><![CDATA[SELECT field1, field2 from table1 WHERE table1.field1 = $P!{theWantedId}]]></queryString>And in a bean (or other java code from which the template is called)
        Map parameters= new HashMap();
        parameters.put("theWantedId", findSelectedId()); // return the ID of the object to print
        JasperDesign design =
            JRXmlLoader.load(myTemplate); // First load template from the Blob table in an inputstream
        JasperReport report =
            JasperCompileManager.compileReport(design);
        InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
        DataSource ds = (DataSource)initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/MYDATASOURCEConnectionDS");
        Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
        JasperPrint print =
            JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, parameters, conn);Hope that can help, if you need more information please ask,
Best regards,
Tif

Report tool for OWB

Can we use cognos as a reporting tool for Oracle warehouse builder?
Prasath.

There are two answers to this depending on what your question:
1) Can I use Cognos to write reports against the OWB repository? Yes you can. There are a series of public tables that expose the key elements of the OWB repository covering, configuration, metadata, data quality, and deployment.
For data quality there is an Application Express sample bundled with OWB that provides a starting point for data quality reporting.
For more information see the following link on the OWB OTN home page:
Oracle Warehouse Builder 10gR2 and Metadata Reporting
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/OWB10gR2%20and%20Metadata%20Reporting.pdf
2) Can I register Cognos reports within OWB to benefit from OWBs metadata impact analysis features? Yes. You can extend the Warehouse Builder repository to cover additional objects such as Cognos reports and their content to provide a complete front to back, back to front impact analysis environment.
For more information see the following link on the OWB OTN home page:
Repository Extensibility Cookbook

ALD API and ALD (Advanced Layout Designer) as a reporting tool for AddOns

Dear all,
as per SMP "ISVs and VARs can integrate combit's List & Label functionality into any SAP Business One Add-on without additional combit license fees", so am i right it means that LnL (ALD) has an API which allows to manipulate it right from SBO AddOn?
and yes, according to the combit site (e.g., http://www.combit.net/en/page1077.aspx?action=display&articleid=KBTE000662) this really has API.
so the questions are:
1. does anybody has any expierence with ALD as a reporting tool for the SBO AddOns (ALD API expierence)?
2. does anybody has any samples (how to call ALD API from AddOn)?
3. are there any elearning materials at the SMP regarding ALD API usage from the AddOns?
4. is ALD API available for the SAP 2005 SP01 as well as SAP 2007 versions?
please comment on this with your point of views and some attitude
thank you and kind regards,
A.

Hi Alexey,
I've got ALD running at sites (2005A SP1).
1) ALD is certainly more powerful than PLD in terms of presentation and formulas. The only limitation I came across was that you can only have 1 data table in a report (unlike other report writers like Crystal or Reporting Services). Also, working with special lines and serial/batch data in marketing documents is overly complex in my opinion.
2) There were some samples attached to SAP Notes. I'm afraid my samples would be useless because you'd have to have the same UDFs and my reports are quite site specific.
3) I've never seen ALD learning material from SAP but there was a decent enough manual that came with the addon.
4) Not sure. I think you'll need to ask Combit directly.
Pros:
a) I particularly like the sound of the API although I haven't had a chance to look at it yet
b) Some nice built in features like labels and the ability to create layouts for user queries (...PLD is capable of doing this, just not very well )
c) Software is part of 2007A (ie no additional license fee)
d) Integrated with SBO
Cons:
a) The integration is not perfect (eg if you use the SBO Mailer then report attachments still use the PLD layout and not ALD).
b) A bit buggy at times (although this was on an early 2005A version)
c) Formulas use a C++ type syntax which can be confusing for those not used to it though there is a formula builder to help out.
d) No reports built in. SAP/Combit should be considering having all marketing documents and maybe some other key reports built in as standard.
All things considered, ALD is worth looking at if PLD is not up to the job.
Hope that helps,
Owen

Best Practice setting up NICs for Hyper V 2008 r2

I am looking at some suggestions for best practice for setting up a hyper V 2008 r2 at a remote location with 5 nics, one for managment vlan and other 4 on the data vlan. This server will host 2 virtual machines, one is a DC and the other
is a member local DHCP server. The server is setup now with one nic on the management Vlan and the other nic's set to get there ip from the local dhcp server on on the host. We have the virtual networks setup in Hyper V to
point to each of the nics using the "external connection". The virtual servers 'DHCP and AD" have there own ip set within them. Issues we are seeing, when the site looses external connections for a while they cannot get ip
addresses from the local dhcp server anymore.
1. NIC on management Vlan -- IP Static -- Physical host
2. NIC on the Data network Vlan -- DHCP linked as a connection "external" in Hyper V -- virtual server DHCP
3. NIC on the Data network Vlan -- DHCP linked as a connection "external" in Hyper V -- Virtual server domain controller
4. NIC on the Data network Vlan -- DHCP linked as a connection "external" in Hyper V -- extra
5. NIC on the Data network Vlan -- DHCP linked as a connection "external" in Hyper V -- extra
Thanks in advance

Looks like you may be over complicating things here. More and more of the recommendations from Microsoft at this point would be to create a Logical Switch and then layer on Logical Networks for your management layers, but here is what I would do for
you simple remote office.
Management NIC: Looks good (Teaming would be better, but only if you had 2 different switching to protect against link failures at the switch level. Doesn't seem relevant in this case however.
NIC for Data Network VLAN: I would use one NIC in your case if you can have the ability to Trunk multiple VLANs at the switch level to the NIC. That way you are setting the VLAN on the VMs NIC that you want to access and your
Virtual Switch configuration is very simple. On this virtual switch however, I would uncheck IPv4 and IPv6. There is no need to give this NIC an address as you are just passing traffic through them from the VMs that are marked with VLAN tags. Again,
if you have multiple physical switches in the building teaming could be an option, but probably adds more complexity than is necessary for a small office.
Even if you keep your Virtual Switches linked to separate NICs unchecking IPv4 and IPv6 makes sense.
Disable all the other NICs
Beyond that, check your routing. Can you ping between all hosts when there is not interruption? What DHCP server are they getting there addresses on normally? Where are your name resolution servers (DNS, WINS)?
No silver bullet here, but maybe a step in the right direction.

Reporting tools for the Business user - Crystal reports or BEx tools ?

Hi,
We have recently implemented BI/BO infrastructure. Scope of the inital implementation was an executive dashboard based off COPA data. We have used Xelcisus for dashboard and BEx tools for query design etc.
We would like to set up some of our key business users (analysts in respective functions) to be able to write their own queries off this COPA cube. The discussion point is whether to roll out Crystal reports for business users or have them trained on BEx tools i.e BEx query designer/analyzer.
Any inputs to my question "Crystal Reports or BEx tools for the Business users - pros and cons", is appreciated.
Thanks,
Girish

Our user currently do not have anything. It's fresh implementation. We would like to get the business users involved. The question is - what's the best start for a business user - Crystal Reports or Bex ?

Searching for a Reporting Tool for Oracle 11g

Hello,
I have created several OLAP-Cubes with the Analytic Workspace 11.1.0.7.0B on the Oracle Database 11g. Now I need a Tool for Creating some Reporting. I have Oracle BI Spreadsheet Add-In Version 10.1.2.3 for Microsoft Excel. I have installed it and I have a Connection to the Database. But on the Query-Assistent, I can't see my Measures and Dimensions. I guess it is because of the Version.
My Questions are:
- Is there any BI Spreadsheet in Version 11?
- Is there any other Reporting-Possibility with another Tool for Oracle 11g? I couldn't find anything yet.
I am very happy, if there is anyone who can answer my questions.

I have no knowledge of BI publisher but if you install OBIEE then you will have option to install BI publisher also. You can download OBIEE from here.
After installation you can look at following post to see the set up required to access olap cubes.
