Reporting with BI

Hi all, I am new to Oracle Business Intelligence. I have a project that I would have to use BI to design a reports with that will be updated automatically let say every 5 minutes to show a continue trend analysis of sales performance. Something similar to how Enterprise Manager reports database performance through a graph.
Can BI help me design such kind of reports?

well it's not necessary a web service. it can be just an interface that my java application can push the xml data in, and a pdf report file is generated.

Open report with "Save as" and "Open with" dialogue

Hi,
I'm using jasper reports within my application. I manage to open them in a new window but in that case the url containing JasperServer username and password is shown. I would like to open the report without showing the url.
I tryed using a database procedure (http://sqlcur.blogspot.com/2009/02/jasperreports-in-apex.html) but all I get is a alert window saying "file does not begin with ' pdf-'". Couldn't see what is the problem (I used the same procedure as Ino has in his example) so I thought of another way. Is it possible, when someone clicks a button to open a report, to open that report with a "Save as" and "Open with" pop up window?
The javascript function that I use:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function openLAPopUpJasper(url){
w = open(url,"winLov","toolbar=false,menubar=false,location=false,resizable=yes, //scrollbars=yes,status=yes,fullscreen=true");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
Thanks in advance!

XML Publisher Report with PL/SQL

Hi
Like to know how to develop the XML Publisher Report with PL/SQL, i did the following
1. created a pkg like as below
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY APPS.TEST_XMLTAG_PKG AS
PROCEDURE main (errbuf OUT VARCHAR2,
retcode OUT NUMBER
) IS
BEGIN
DECLARE
ctx DBMS_XMLGEN.ctxHandle;
xml CLOB;
BEGIN
ctx := dbms_xmlgen.newcontext('select * from scott.emp');
dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx, 'MY-ROW-START-HERE');
xml := dbms_xmlgen.getxml(ctx);
dbms_output.put_line(xml);
Fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.LOG, XML);
END;
END;
END TEST_XMLTAG_PKG;
this pkg produces the output with xml tag in the view log.
I have registered the conc program & xml rtf but it does not produce the output in PDF, , I am not able to get the xml tag when i click the Diagnostics --> View XML.
can you please let me know the next steps involved.
Regards
Yram

I think the problem is because there is no begin and end tag. save the xml from the logfile and open with xml editor or IE.. then you will see the problem.
add Begin and end tag...then you should be fine.. i.e
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'<EMP_DATA>'); -- begin Tag
tx := dbms_xmlgen.newcontext('select * from scott.emp');
dbms_xmlgen.setrowtag(ctx, 'MY-ROW-START-HERE');
xml := dbms_xmlgen.getxml(ctx);
dbms_output.put_line(xml);
Fnd_file.put_line (fnd_file.LOG, XML);
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.output,'</EMP_DATA>'); -- End Tag
Hope this helps..>Good Luck

Hello Chinasammy,
Report Painter allows you to create reports using data from SAP application components, which you can adapt to meet your individual requirements.
Many of your reporting requirements can already be met by using the standard reports provided by various SAP application components. If these SAP standard reports do not meet your reporting needs, Report Painter enables you to define your specific reports quickly and easily.
When executing a Report Painter report, it is displayed by the system in Report Writer format. You thus have access to the same functions as for Report Writer reports defined in the same way, and can combine Report Painter and Report Writer reports together in a report group.
Report Painter uses a graphical report structure, which forms the basis for your report definition and displays the rows and columns as they appear in the final report output.
To facilitate report definition, you can use many of the standard reporting objects provided by SAP (such as libraries, row/column models, and standard layouts) in your own specific reports. When you define a Report Painter report you can use groups (sets). You can also enter characteristic values directly.
Advantages of Report Painter include:
Flexible and simple report definition
Report definition without using sets
Direct layout control: The rows and columns are displayed in the report definition as they appear in the final report output, making test runs unnecessary.
=============================================
Below mentioned is the process for creating reports using Report Painter as a tool.
Selecting and maintaining a library for your report: As the transfer structure to Report Painter you use a report table, which is defaulted by SAP and can not be maintained. This table contains characteristics, key figures and predefined columns. In a library, you collect the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns from the report table, which you need for your Report Painter reports.
When you define a Report Painter report, you assign it to a library. Reports assigned to one library can only use the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for that library.
When you create or maintain a library, the Position field determines the sequence in which the characteristics, key figures or (predefined) key figures appear in the Report Painter selection lists when you define a report. This allows you to position the objects that you use regularly in your reports at the beginning of the selection lists. If you do not make an entry in the Position field, you will not be able to use this object in Report Painter reports.
You can use either the standard SAP libraries for your reports or define your own.
(ii) Selecting or maintaining a standard layout for your report: Standard layouts determine report layout features and the format of your report data.If the SAP standard layouts do not meet your reporting requirements, you can create a new standard layout or change an existing one.
(iii) Defining row and column models: A model is a one-dimensional, predefined reporting structure that you can insert in either the rows or columns of your report.If you often use the same or similar row or column definitions in your reports, it is recommended that you create row or column models.
You must define the row and/or column models that you want to include in your report definition before you define the report.
You can also use the standard column models supplied by SAP.
(iv) Defining the report: Defining a Report Painter report involves the following steps.
(a) Define the report columns: You define the report columns using the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for the library that the report uses. Alternatively, you can use a column model for column definition. Column models are predefined column structures which you insert into your entire column definition, instead of defining each individual column.
(b) Define the report rows: You define the report rows using the characteristics selected for the library selected for the report.
Alternatively, you can use a row model for your row definition. Row models serve the same purpose as column models, but are used to define a report row.
Edit and format the report rows and columns in line with your requirements. (For example, you can hide rows or columns, define the column width or define colors for your report rows).
(iii)Define general data selection criteria for the selection of your report data: Selection criteria are the characteristics used to select data for the entire report. You cannot enter characteristics as data selection criteria if they are already being used in the report rows or columns.
(iv) Assigning the report to a report group: Once you have defined a report, you must assign it to a report group. A report group can contain one or more reports from the same library. However, reports that share the same data will select data more quickly and improve processing time.
Hopw this helps you. Please let me know if you need anything more and assign points.

Need help to develop report with column chart

Hi
I am new to SAP BO world.Could anyone please help me to design report with column chart.Please guide me how to develop report for the following requirement.I am not aware of variance columns and variance labels.Please provide some guidance or some tutorials(for column Chart) so that I can complete the task. Please reply me as soon as possible.Waiting for reply.Thanks in advance.
Type: Column Chart
u2022     Rows: Banking Asset Margin (%)
u2022     Start / End Columns: PY YTD Act(Prior year year to date); CY YTD Act(Current year Year to date)
u2022     Variance Columns: # Var (CY-PY Act) for GOLM; Volume; Rate; Non Banking NII; Banking Volatility in NII; Banking Volatility in OOI; Fees/One Offs/Other; Volatile Items; Sophie
u2022     Sub-total columns: PY YTD Underlying; CY YTD Underlying.
u2022     Variance Labels: % Var (CY-PY Act) for Total Income and Underlying Income
u2022     Sub-Total Labels: # Var (CY-PY Act) for Net Insurance Income; Banking Volatility; Other Operating Income
Additional information
u2022     Variance columns (bar) colours: Red = Adverse to Prior Year; Green = Favourable to Prior Year
u2022     Columns to show values. Adverse values to be shown in red text in brackets. Favourable results in black text.
u2022     All values in Black, but adverse to be shown below the bar.

Hi,
This type of question is almost impossible to answer over a forum .
You need to work with your business to understand what these requirements mean in terms of data modelling and relationships between object entities.
- Some of these metrics should be delegated to source, and calculated in the update routines to your datatargets (aka Cubes/Tables)
- Others could be resolved in the semantic layer (Universe)
- Other will be calculated in the presentation layer as local formulae or variables.
whilst BusinessObjects is a fairly intuitive tool, it may be unreasonble to expect a new learner to deliver an advanced report with conditional formatting.

JRC bug: apostrophe in string parameter passed to Crystal Report with Command datasource to SQL Server

Post Author: nl11087
CA Forum: JAVA
A single quote/apostrophe in string parameter passed to a Crystal Report with Command datasource connecting to a SQL Server database, using sqljdbc driver does not escape the special character correctly. When doing a preview in the Crystal Reports IDE it allows you to escape the input parameter as expected and work correctly, but through the JRC component it fails. For string parameters without special sql server characters I experience no problems at all. When replacing the Command with a direct table there is also no problem.
Reproduction:
1. create a database db1, create a table table1 with a String type column col1.
2. Create new report Report1.rpt, create a connection to above, Add Command using 'SELECT col1, col2, col3 FROM table1 WHERE col1 = '{?Par1}' . Add a parameter field Par1 : String
3. In your java stand alone application using JRC add the parameter Par1 with a value "Jon Doe's Value" containing a single apostrophe. Export to PDF. (I also tried MSWord and this failed too, similar behavior). Additionally, in another test try to replaceAll("'","''") to escape it, preventing the code to break, but now it does not retrieve the expected row anymore and you end up with an empty report.

How to create a report with dynamic no of columns

Hi All,
we have a report with 6 columns.
and its been access by 10-20 people.
the user dont want to have a fix report with 6 columns rather they want to have a flexibility to select the columns from the report they want to see.
i.e. user one one time wasnt to see only one columns
another time he want to see only column 2 and 4 of the report.
its like there can be a multiple select option from where he can select the columns in the existing report and then see the same report with only that much column.
Please tell me how to implement it.

Abhip i thin you didnt get the problem.
there is s exeiting report with 6 column
Currently when i logging to OBIEE and see that report
i will be getting report with 6 column
but now i want a flexibility of selecting only 2 or 3 or 1 or 4 or 5 as i wish columns from this report and see the result only for that
so is there by any chance i can have a check box for each column which i can check in dashborad to select that column
and show the result were as by default it will show the report with 6 column.
Thanks

How to create a report with dynamic columns

Hi all,
I am using Apex 4.0 with Oracle 10g
I am creating a report and I need to display columns dynamically based on the item values.
example:
I have a table employee with columns name, designation, sal
In the report page i have a select list with designations and when I select a designation from the select list,
I need to display the names of the employees horizontally,
like each name as a new column in the report with that particular designation. and same has to continue when I select different designations.
Can some one help me how we can do that.
I appreciate your answer
Thanks,
Rik

Essentially you want to write a pl/sql function which returns a varchar2 string. The contents of the string must be a valid sql statement.
Once you have done this, you need to add a report region as type sql report and you will have the option of writing it as a query or as a function returning query. Choose function returning query and enter in the function call.
Note your function must be valid, and must be executable by your apex parsing schema.
example:
create or replace
function test_report( p1_tablename in varchar2)
return varchar2
is
v_query varchar2(4000);
begin
v_query :=
'SELECT * from '||p_tablename;
return v_query;
end test_report;Edited by: Keith Jamieson on Aug 15, 2011 4:50 PM

How to create a report with survey data

Hi All,
I need to create a report with survey data in below format. Can anyone help me how to display the summary in this format.
Swapna

Hi Swapna,
According to your description, you want to create a report with survey data and display the summary.
Reporting Services is used for rendering the report with data retrieved from datasource. In Reporting Services, we can retrieve data from the datasource then design a report, after the report processed, data is fixed on the report. So it’s not supported
to have the end users selection and do summary. For your requirement, it’s can’t be achieved currently.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to create a report with data using the Crystal Reports for Java SDK

Hi,
How do I create a report with data that can be displayed via the Crystal Report for Java SDK and the Viewers API?
I am writing my own report designer, and would like to use the Crystal Runtime Engine to display my report in DHTML, PDF, and Excel formats. I can create my own report through the following code snippet:
ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
However, I cannot find a way to add data elements to the report without specifying an RPT file. Is this possible? I seems like it is since the Eclipse Plug In allows you to specify your database parameters when creating an RPT file.
is there a way to do this through these packages?
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definition
Am I forced to create a RPT file for the different table and column structures I have?
Thank you in advance for any insights.

Hi Rameez,
After working through the example code some more, and doing some more research, I remain unable to populate a report with my own data and view the report in a browser.

Throws the exception
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: java.lang.NullPointerException---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
There was other sample code on SDN which suggested the following - adding the table after calling table.setDataFields() as in:
          String tableName = "Building";
            String fieldname = "Building_Name";
            Table oTable = new Table();
            oTable.setName(tableName);
            oTable.setAlias(tableName);
            oTable.setQualifiedName(tableName);
            oTable.setDescription(tableName) ;
            Fields fields = new Fields();
            DBField field = new DBField();
            field.setDescription(fieldname);
            field.setHeadingText(fieldname);
            field.setName(fieldname);
            field.setType(FieldValueType.stringField);
            field.setLength(40);
            fields.add(field);
            oTable.setDataFields(fields);
            oTable.setConnectionInfo(oConnectionInfo);
            rcd.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
This code succeeds, but it is not clear how to add that database field to a section. If I attempt to call the following:
FieldObject oFieldObject = new FieldObject();
            oFieldObject.setDataSourceName(field.getFormulaForm());
            oFieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
            // Now add it to the section
            oFieldObject.setLeft(3120);
            oFieldObject.setTop(120);
            oFieldObject.setWidth(1911);
            oFieldObject.setHeight(226);
            rcd.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().add(oFieldObject, rcd.getReportDefController().getReportDefinition().getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0), -1);
Then I get an error (which is not unexpected)
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportDefControllerException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213283 Error code name:invalidFieldObject
How do I add one of the table.SetDataFields() to my report to be displayed?
Are there any other pointers or suggestions you may have?
Thank you

How to create a report with different page sizes

Hi,
I would like to create a report with different page sizes, it's possible to do it with diadem?
When I change the layout parameters, changes afect to all sheets...
Is there a way to change page size individually for each sheet?
Thanks in advance.
Marc

Hi Marc,
You can use the DocStart and DocEnd commands along with the PicPrint command to spool multiple print commands to the same output PDF file using the direct printer approach. This should enable you to programmatically specify the page size differently for each sheet that you add to the print job.
' Print PDF Page by Page.VBS
OPTION EXPLICIT
Dim i, Path, OldPrintName
Path = AutoActPath & "2D Stacked"
Call DataDelAll
Call DataFileLoad(Path & ".TDM")
PDFFileName = Path & " Page by Page.pdf"
IF FileExist(PDFFileName) THEN Call FileDelete(PDFFileName)
OldPrintName = PrintName
PrintName = "winspool,DIAdem PDF Export,LPT1:" ' Set to PDF printer
PDFResolution = "72 DPI" ' "2400 DPI" , "default"
PDFOptimization = TRUE
PDFFontsEmbedded = FALSE
PDFJPGCompressed = "high"
PrintOrient = "landscape" ' orient paper
Call PrintMaxScale("GRAPH") ' auto-max, see alternative margin setting variables below
PrintLeftMarg = 0.181
PrintTopMarg = 0.181
PrintWidth = 10.67
'PrintHeigth = 7 (read-only)
Call WndShow("REPORT")
Call DocStart ' Begin multi-page document/print job
FOR i = 1 TO 4
Call PicLoad(Path & ".TDR")
Call GraphSheetNGet(1)
Call GraphSheetRename(GraphSheetName, "Page " & i)
Call PicUpdate
Call PicPrint("WinPrint") ' Add a page to be printed
NEXT ' i
Call DocEnd ' End multi-page document/print job
PrintName = OldPrintName
Call ExtProgram(PDFFileName)

Generate a new pdf report with itens on my pdf form

Hi! My name is Heitor.
I have Adobe Forms Central and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro installed on my machine.
I would like to know if its possible to make a pdf report.
Example: Clicking in a button "print" on my already open and filled pdf form, and gathering all my 30 itens (see that i am only showing 5 itens on my form. but on my form exists a "Add" button to add itens on variables) on a dropdown list and generating a new pdf report with all these itens listed.
Thanks!

In my MacBook Pro(10.7.5), finder is crashing after logging in. It is showing crash report with Relaunch option, when i click on Relaunch option finder is working properly but i am unable to see Top bar(Apple logo, Date and Wifi etc... bar). Even in safari address bar, TextEdit not accepting any text means when type something not showing up and also i am unable operate any thing from keyboard. Plz help me…..

One thing that you can try is installing a 'fresh' version of OS X Lion. Boot into your Recovery partition (holding down the command and R keys whilst booting) and elect to install OS X from the Recovery screen. You need not erase your hard drive and you should not lose any of your data.
Oh, and just as a precaution, I would use Disk Utility, once you're in Recovery mode, to verify your hard drive before trying to install the OS again.

Vendor Payments Report with WBS Elements

Dear Expert,
I am looking a report for Vendor outgoing payment against WBS Elements.
Is there any Vendor Payments report with WBS Elements in SAP? I have seen FBL1N but WBS Elements field is blank.
Thanks
Samiee.

Hi,
You mentioned WBS Element is blank; so please check in any one sample payment documnet whetehr WBS is maintained and if yes find which field it is populated. For eg; sometimes people populate this information in the text or assignment field. If that is the case then change the layout accordingly in FBL1N.
Regards
Sreekanth
