Reports 3.0 - Dissappearing fields when saved

My buddy showed me a report in reports 3.0..
He saves his report, opens it back up,
and a field dissappears in the layout editor.
So he copies and makes the field good.
Then he saves it again and ANOTHER 1 or 2
fields dissappears.
I had never seen this until he showed me
on my machine too!!
Reports 3.0.5
Any thoughts/comments?
Its not that complicated of a report.
Thanks!

I am also using Reports 3 and the same problem happens a few times especially when the file size if big. Anybody knows whether there is a solution to that? Or if an upgrade to Report 6 will solve the problem?

User Responsible Field when saving PM Notification

Hi,
I'm trying to use exit EXIT_SAPMIWO0_020 contained in enhancement QQMA0014 to perform some checks upon saving a PM Notification.
Does anyone know what field is passed into this exit for the "User Responsible" (RQM02-PARNR_VERA)? I need to check this field has been filled in the Notification Header upon saving.
I can't see the value in this field in any of the tables/structures passed into the exit.
Help is appreciated!
thanks
Jason

Sujit,
Thank you!!!! That solved the problem, the "User Responsible" is returned from that function even when the Notification has not yet been saved to the database.
Thanks! I have awarded points.

Auto-populate filename field when saving?

I have a form which contains a Save button (using the following JavaScript: app.execMenuItem("SaveAs"))
I have a required field on the form called 'ProjectTitle'. Is there something I can add to the button script which will pick up what the user types in the 'ProjectTitle' field and use that as the filename when they click the 'Save' button?
They wouldn't be required to use the carried over text, but it will save time and prevent possbilty illogical filenames.
Anyone? Thanks!

Hi
I know but you can try to use the field-symbols
DATA: WI_AUFK TYPE CI_AUFK.
DATA: FIELD(30) TYPE C.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <FS> TYPE ANY.
FIELD = '(PROGRAM NAME)STRUCTURE NAME'.
ASSIGN (FIELD) TO <FS>.
WI_AUFK-FIELD1 = ....
WI_AUFK-FIELD2 = ....
MOVE-CORRESPONDING WI_AUFK TO <FS>.
So you're looking for the name of the program and the structure.
I suppose they can be: SAPLCOIH, CAUFVD, so:
DATA: WI_AUFK TYPE CI_AUFK.
DATA: FIELD(30) TYPE C.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <FS> TYPE ANY.
FIELD = '(SAPLCOIH)CAUFVD'.
ASSIGN (FIELD) TO <FS>.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING <FS> TO WI_AUFK.
IF WI_AUFK-FIELD1 IS INITIAL
WI_AUFK-FIELD1 = ....
ENDIF.
IF WI_AUFK-FIELD2 IS INITIAL
WI_AUFK-FIELD2 = ....
ENDIF.
MOVE-CORRESPONDING WI_AUFK TO <FS>.

Hide extension in file name input field when saving?

A few days ago in Photoshop CS6 I started automatically getting an extension in the file name input field.
Previously, when I did a "save as" I got, for example "image01."
A few days ago I started getting "image01.jpg."
I have another installation of CS6 on another desktop and on that one I get simply "image01." That's the way is had been on this machine.
This has nothing to do with file/folder options in Windows Explorer. I don't see extension names anywhere but in the Photoshop 'save as' input field.
It is highly annoying because I process a lot of images and having to get rid of the ".jpg" wastes time.
Anyone have any ideas?
dg

Thanks, everyone for your replies. Perhaps I did not explain this clearly.
This change I experienced has nothing to do with Windows Explorer settings.
Here's what the input looks like on my secondary machine and how Photoshop behaved on my primary machine until a few days ago:
All that is shown is the file name: No extension.
Here's what I'm getting now:
Suddenly Photoshop in adding ".jpg" to the end of the file name. This happens in both 64 bit (my default) and 32 bit (I never use it but tested i)t.
I have not changed anything yet, but could this be a Photoshop preferences issue as gener7 suggested? I made no changes to my Photoshop installation prior to this starting to happen.
As an aside. I'm surprised people like having the extension in the file name. I have never found that to be necessary at all, since Windows Explorer shows the file type right in the window:
And if you select an image it's also shown on the lower left:
I use primarily .jpgs, .tiffs, and CR2 files and even without looking at the examples above, the icon alone tells me what kind of file it is.

Incompatibility issues when saving BW workbook in early excel versions

When saving a BW workbooks to my desktop for example so that I can then send it to a user to view the report I get incompatibility issues when saving workbook to earlier excel versions. I am currently using 2007 and when I save the workbook to Excel 97 - 2003 then I get incompatibility messages. If I ignore these and just save then no one is able to open the workbook. This means that I cannot also save workbooks on the reporting system as those users not using 2007 cannot view them. The message that I get is that 'the features of this workbook are not supported by the earlier features of Excel.'

Hi,
Please refer to this note,
Note 1152092 - Error opening MS Excel 2007 workbook in MS Excel 2003
Usually when you do any formatting feature available in Excel 2007 to the workbook it would throw you the error, not sure if you are formatting the workbook.

Fields reorder when saving report in Crystal Reports Explorer

Post Author: brankin
CA Forum: Publishing
We're using Crystal Reports Explorer within BOE XI R2, and have noticed that when saving a report and reopening it the order of the fields changes. It seems to happen all the time and there doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to what happens. Does anyone know how to keep this from happening?

You need to update the "Object Changeability" in BW for Crystal report objects.
to do this:
1. run transaction /nRSA1
2. Select the transport connection tab
3. click the "Object Changeability" button
4. Select the "Crystal Report" line item
5. right click and select "Everything changeable"
6. Exit transaction

Using Fields from PDF when saving

Im looking on how to use fields in a pdf form when saving the form.
ex. Incident Report
Staff open up the form. Put in the information. Want it so when they save it puts the clients name and date in the save as. So they open Incident_Report.pdf when they save it would be Incident_Report_ClientsName_Date.pdf Yes the staff could type that in that way but want to make it as easy for everyone involved.

So let's say you have the following fields in your file:
Incident_Report
ClientsName
Date
You can then add this code to the file's WillSave action (under Tools - JavaScript - Set Document Actions):
var newFileName = this.getField("Incident_Report").valueAsString + "_" + this.getField("ClientsName").valueAsString + "_" + this.getField("Date").valueAsString + ".pdf";
app.response("Please copy the text below and use it as the new file-name:","", newFileName)
Of course, you can adjust the message to the user, and even the format of the file-name, although I've used the format you specified.

Can not view/export a report which has 2 group by field when no data found

Recently I developed a report, which contains 2 group by fields. it runs successfully when the report displays some data.
but when there is no data, i cann't view/export this report.
It shows nothing by html format and shows "this file cannot be opened because it has no pages" message by pdf format.
even there is no records for this report, i still want to see the template file and show some basic information.
please help me.
Daniel

I've found that, just like I used to do in Oracle Reports, if you put in a COUNT column to count your returning rows, you can put 'No Data Found' when there's no data. That way, your report will return and not error out.
For .pdfs, this is the code I use; COUNT with code of <?if:count(field_name)=0?>.
In the .rtf..
COUNT
No Data Found
END COUNT
Put this in the .rtf before your data should appear or else it won't work.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I am getting below error when saving report as PDF
The Session Timed Out.The document *.wid has been auto saved in the Favorites~WebIntelligence Folder..Click Restore to retrieve it.
(ERROR : WIJ600001).
I get above error in PROD but works fine in DEV.
Version : BOE 3.1 SP7 (DEV & PROD).
Session Time out set as one hour.
Report runs for 3 minutes .once I get the data if I try to save it as PDF immediately I get the above mentioned Error.

The default Webi auto-save is every 600 seconds, which is 10 minutes. You could increase it to 3600 seconds (1 hour) in CMC -> Applications > Web Intelligence > Properties > Auto-save Settings on "Auto-save time delay".

what must i do`?
thanks

Hi Marcus,
For SD to FI document, i once checked the BADI AC_DOCUMENT. Check if this is triggered for your transactions.
But there is a limitation on the Accounting header fields that can be changed
According to the below note only the field BKTXT is released for change at header level

Webi Reports - Stale data when saved a pdf/xls

Hi Webi Guru's - we have a peculiar issue in our BOBJ Production system.
To give you a bit of background on our production system - is hosted on
O/S - EL 2.6
Database - Oracle 11g
IE version - 9
2 Tomcat 6 servers, load balanced using F5 load balancer
3 CMC cluster servers and 1 Oracle Database server
CMC has BW 731 authentication
Problem Description -
Open any WEBI report. Pass a set of parameters. Most of the reports have from and todate as input parameters.
On the first attempt we pass the fromdate = 5th May 2014, todate = 10th May 2014. Save the report as pdf/xls file. Saves with the correct data.
Refresh the webi report - provide different set of date range as, fromdate = 12th May 2014, todate = 20th May 2014. Save the report as pdf/xls file. This time though the report brings out correct data set, when saved as a pdf/xls file, saves with data from date range that was passed the first time which was fromdate = 5th May 2014, todate = 10th May 2014
Have checked with our network team regarding if caching is enabled on tge F5 loadbalancer - an there is none.
I did raise a incident with SAP support and it was closed down saying it is a third party issue at the load balancer level and recomended that I could check with the SCN community..
Has anyone in the BI/BOcommumity come across this sort of problem before where you you have split installations and your web server is load balanced.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks
Savitha

Hi Amit - thanks for your reply.
If we run the reports directly from both the Web/Tomcat server - we get the correct result set saved in the PDF/XLS file. But it is not the case when we access the reports from the Load balanced URL. When we went live initially we had only one tomcat server, due to performanance issues we added additional tomcat server and since then we are noticing this issue.
The immediate thing that came to our mind was - if there was a caching option enabled at the load balancer level. The network team have confirmed that it is not the case.
We have enabled HTTPWatch to see if there was anything obvious we could spot - but there is nothing from the logs which stands out either.
The issue is only when we save the reports as in PDF/XLS format - saves the data with prompts from the previous refresh.
Hope it all makes sense.
Thanks
Savitha

When I save a filtered photo from my iphone (filtered with "Tonal") onto my desktop into iPhoto, the filter dissappears and its saved as a standard color photo. Is there a reason why and way I can save it as is?

When I save a filtered photo from my iphone (filtered with "Tonal") onto my desktop into iPhoto, the filter dissappears and its saved as a standard color photo. Is there a reason why and way I can save it as is?

The reason is that Apple screwed up and despite threads for this issue dating back several months, there is no fix. It's outrageous -- a dozen or so photos that I just took got completely screwed up because of this. There isn't even a way to replicate the effects in iPhoto without major guesswork and tweaking.
I mean this isn't even something that should be an issue. How Apple thought that a user would want his filters to disappear is beyond me. I mean it's so absolutely counterintuitive that I'm baffled that such a destructive 'feature' could've made it through.
So much for Apple's quality control! They'll forever say it's intentional and part of the 'lossless' design where the effects aren't permanently applied, but there should be an option. Some users want their filters to stay when they take them.
In fact, ALL USERS WANT THE FILTERS TO STAY.

Updating field when new records saved.

Hi,
I was wondering if there are any suggestions on updating a picklist field when a new record is saved (as field updates only work for modified records).
We recently created a custom Probability % field that is tied to both the Sales Stage and another custom picklist field called "Business Type" (has two options - New or Existing). The Probability % field is updated based on a simple workflow that says if Sales Stage = x and Business Type = y, then Probability % = z.
For example, if the Sales Stage is = to "Validation" and the Business Type is = to "New", the Prob. % will be 5. If the Sales Stage is = to "Validation" and the Business Type is = to "Existing", the Prob. % will be 10... (just so you get the idea).
Since the workflow is tied to modified records, the new records keep missing the Probability % field.
Any suggestions on how we can get those newly created records have an updated Prob. % field would be helpful.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the response, Min.
1) I've thought about the post default value, but the problem we encounter is that the user might not create an Opportunity in the very first sales stage- is there a way to place a default in the Prob. % field depending on the sales stage the record is created with?
2) I thought fields could only be updated when modified records saved - it isn't an option with the "new record is saved". Is there a workaround? I'm still quite new at this, so any help on how I can create a workaround would be great!
Thanks again.

Premiere elements 10 crashes when saving as DVD or DVD folder, etc.

In the meantime I am evaluating the 'cheaper' and without installing / working / DVD problems and possibly send Adobe discs back for full refund.
My Laptop is fast enough and well kept - not other 'larger' programmes have any problems running or installing [Stenberg Cubase Pro, Flight Simulator X and so on] only Adobe programmes!
I am really getting tired now.

Mobon

Hello
All problems are carefully separated - not all together, since I am a tidy person by default.
It is very simple and not confusing.
I actually have one main issue with PE7 and PPE7 [which I hope they will care of] and a series of small teething problems as many in these forums have on Premiere 10 since installation because Adobe programmes have 'basic' problems even loading / reading/ converting its own created files.
I looked up for Premiere Elements problems on-line [on external forums] and I can see so many problems and people opting for alternative programmes or getting 2 or 3 different programmes to do the job faster and better - that confirms my thoughts.
I am not here to stir things up [if by any chance you are thinking that], but I am merely trying to use a PAID and SUPPOSED to be GREAT program and it is clearly not my friend.
But if I get pushed up around and treated like a non-in-the-computer-field-person, then I might 'need to' stir things up with 'proves'!
I have been working with computers Hardware and Software since 1975 with the Sir Sinclair Spectrum .
So, I do know one thing or two by working 'manually' and without the 'easy' mouse clicking [!] and my main job these days is to actually fix People's messed up computers, recover data, erase data, etc. and often I find either Apple's or Adobe's programmes not working properly [being the main problem on slower computers] and users tried to fix them and messed things up!
Mainly is Apple programmes [ iTunes is one!] on Windows environment - just pure mess.
In fact I do not keep ANY Apple Programs on ANY my computers any-more and by adding the blooming QuickTime - it actually adds 3 'mostly not needed' applications that must be run in the background only slowing down 'most standard' computers and 'mostly' for no apparent reason but needed by Premiere Elements 10.
Adobe Acrobat Reader too is a kind of an offender in that sense, which I do not use any-more in favour of an alternative and very light program that does not invade your computer.
I could be talking about the above for days ...
The fact I do not know Premiere 10 very well and I am having some teething problems with 'Adobe Premiere Elements 10' does not make me a lower being or anything to the like or even put me aside the forums for being realistic and a human being most of all.
I simply am an Intermediate / Advanced / Professional Computer User / Repairer [depending on which subject] trying to fix this non-working-properly Adobe's program and get on with his life.
You as an employee perfectly know what I am talking about, the Adobe numerous problems with Elements and pro and the clever Marketing and money making tool Adobe has created around it and I do understand you must keep Adobe's side - of course and that is not a problem at all.
BACK TO THE ONLY PROBLEM THIS THREAD IS OPEN FOR:
Having said that, in the meantime I seem to have solved it myself [as I do most of the time], at least for now.
I am sure many other problems will arise.
My Solution that worked:
I simply clicked on the time-line [bottom] and then clicked on top menu TIME-LINE [if I am not wrong, it was late night and I might be wrong - do not crucify me please!] and MERGE CLIP and then I let the program do the job I purchased for.
Days ago using the Trial Version [before I purchased Premiere 10] I already read that Premiere does not like either large gaps [I did not have] or even simple clip cuts not merged and it did have 'loads' of problems, but most of them were solved by 'users' mostly.
Anyway, that seems to have done the trick, even thou it did take around 4/5 ours to do 3Gb ! Why?
My computer is fast.
But I have not checked or burned the files yet - so, I do not know100% - just yet, I will check later on today.
I believe Adobe must prepare a Service Pack with 'Loads' of fixing, there is no place to hide and that may convince users to even 'spend' and buy the PRO version - the ball is in your court now.
I cannot believe Premiere is having so many small teething problems and I am only doing a BASIC test and I can see the vast majority of users of Elements Programs going literally insane and only us, the more Techy ones coping.
Regards
M
PS the fact you see an avalanche of problems with my installation is actually normal.
That is because I am a 'fast' and organised Computer Technician which gets on with things and I usually do this with all new programmes to get rid of the possible initial several small hiccups, that other Companies usually fix with Patches - not Adobe, it seems - at least with Premiere elements.
In the last few years are mainly with Adobe Programmes. It is the only way to get the 'basic' program problems fixed straight away, so I do know the next time I run it actually works!
ADDITION:
IT WORKS!

Report Designer - Error while opening a saved report

Hi,
I am not sure if this is an authorization issue or configuration issue.
When I try to open a saved report on Report designer, I keeping getting an error: Report Version is invalid: "0".
Has anybody faced similar problem?
We are on SP09.
Regards,
Payal.

Payal,
I am afraid, that your report might be corrupted. This might have happened, if in tx SE16 the version is changed. The Report XML displayed in SE16 for table RSERDATA, is limited to ca. 1024 charachters. When editing the version, after pressing the save button, the Report XML is cut off at 1024 charachters and the report is lost.
Please do not set the report version in tx SE16!
I will need to configure the program RS_REPORT_MAINTAIN, such that reports with version "0" can be saved with the minimum version 9.0.
Until then I recommend the following procedure for Reports that are ok, but have the Version "0" bug:
1) in tx SE38, program: RS_REPORT_MAINTAIN
    open your report with option "DT" (designtime)
2) Switch to Edit mode.
    Make a backup copy of the report using the "Save As" Button.
    You can copy the Report XML to the clipboard using Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C
3a) Open a dummy report in RS_REPORT_MAINTAIN created previously with
      Report Desginer ( --> The version is set to 9.0).
      Switch to edit mode and paste the Report XML and Save.
or
3b) Debug FUNCTION rs_bex_report_load_rfc.
      Open a report and change the value of E_REPORT_VERSION to "9.0"
      before leaving the function.
Hope this helps, karim
P.S.
I will update note 1016224
