Reports 9i authentication and connection parameters

Hi,
We are trying to integrate reports into our JDeveloper 9i application, which uses BC4J.
Right now, we seem to have to pass the parameters for the authentication and database connection into the reports either via the URL or via parameters inside the JSP file.
http://10.1.1.140:8888/cs8/MyTestReport.jsp?userid=xxxx/yyyyy@db
OR ...
<rw:report id="report" parameters="userid=xxxx/yyyyy@db">
Now: how can we use the BC4J connection for this? I know the administrator can edit the data source via Enterprise Manager, but I'd like to have reports use the same connection information as the application so that the data is accessed seamlessly.
Thanks,
Jeff

It's a start. But the cruxt of it is, that we develop the applications and hand them over the wall to the end user admin team and it really is critical not to publish, anywhere the passwords, etc. Without the getPassword() type of call, it will be painful. Ideally, the customer would be able to configure the datasource via EM, as they can for the application...
It could be that I'm barking up the wrong tree, too. We are, ideally, using reports server and OC4J. If there is an "embedded" reports capability built into OC4J and the authentication is based upon the application's existing connection pool, that would be helpful, too.
If someone has ideas as to how to make this easier, without having to store user name, connection info and passwords in a table (or xml file), that would be great. Obviously, the connection name and the username can be retrieved, but without the password, it's painful -- and probably less secure.
Thanks!

Connecting Crystal reports with dashboards and passing parameters

Hi ,
Can anyone have any document on Connecting Crystal reports with dashboards and passing parameters.
I would appreciate for this.
Thank You.

Help desiging a 10g Oracle Report with Matrix and Lexical Parameters - Long

Hello all:
I apologize in advance for this long post.... I'm using Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4.0.33). First -- the question:
I need to create a Matrix where the rows come from one database table
(TABLE1) and the columns and cell contents come from a linked query (pulled from TABLE2) that is generated with lexical parameters based on the current TABLE1 row. The lexical parameters contain a WHERE clause for the TABLE2 query. Basically, I have a linked query between TABLE1 and TABLE2. I need to generate a Matrix around it.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?
Here's the background on the application, if that is helpful...
I have an application where I maintain database tables containing names/addresses along with information pertaining to them. As part of the processing, I need to produce reports that contain statistics based on values in the table. For example, each row has a field RTYPE that identifies the Record Type (1-Suppress, 2-Buyer, 3-Inquirer). Each row also has a last purchase date field. The statistics produced for this field would look like this:
 2001 2002 2003 11/03 12/03 01/04 02/04 03/04 04/04 05/04 ...
Buyer 100 150 250 30 25 15 8 9 22 83
Inquirer 1000 800 493 ...
Suppress ... ...
Totals ... ...
Each cell contains the count of the number of records that have the corresponding RTYPE and Last Purchase date. The dates across the top are determined by the most recent purchase date in the file. We count the last 12 months, month by month, and then anything older than that is grouped by
year of purchase. So, the column headings are variable.
The SQL query for this example looks like this:
SELECT CASE WHEN rtype = '2' THEN 'Buyers'
WHEN rtype = '3' THEN 'Inquirers'
WHEN rtype = '1' THEN 'Suppress'
END HLDESC,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYYMM')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYY') || '00'
END YYMM_8,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'MM/YY')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE, 'YYYY')
END FmtDate_8,
COUNT(*) HLCOUNT
FROM &TABLENAME T
GROUP BY CASE WHEN rtype = '2' THEN 'Buyers'
WHEN rtype = '3' THEN 'Inquirers'
WHEN rtype = '1' THEN 'Suppress'
END,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYYMM')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYY') || '00'
END,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'MM/YY')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE, 'YYYY')
END
ORDER BY CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYYMM')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYY') || '00'
END
There might be a better way to write this, but that isn't the issue at the moment.
I have many different tables, each with different fields. I need to produce counts on each of those fields. Some of those fields have a limited number of values where I need to count the occurrences and attach a description (like the RTYPE counts above). Others, like Last Purchase Amount, require counts within ranges (between 0 and 9.99, 10 and 19.99, etc.). Still others are "multiple choice"-style fields (such as products purchased), where we have multiple single-char flags that are not null when the corresponding products are purchased. In this case, we need to produce statistics that look like this:
 2001 2002 2003 11/03 12/03 01/04 02/04 03/04 04/04 05/04 ...
Product 1 .........
Product 2 .........
The worst of the bunch is a field where I need to count the occurrence of each value within it (hundreds of values) without entering descriptions, so I don't know how many rows will appear ahead of time. This is used for "source codes" that identify where the name/address came from. They look similar to the RTYPE above, but the leftmost column contains each value from the field rather than a description. There are so many possible values and they change so often that it isn't feasible to enter a description for each one.
Right now, I manually create an Oracle Report for each table when I design/load it. This is becoming difficult to manage, since I have over 150 of them now. Each of these reports can have any number of matrices to display (the largest right now has about 25).
The new table structure to generate these reports consists of two tables: A COUNTHDR table and a COUNTROW table. The COUNTHDR table represents a single Matrix within the report. It contains info such as a heading for the Matrix and whether column totals should be calculated or not. The COUNTROW table contains a description for each row and an SQL Fragment that contains an appropriate WHERE clause to match the description. In the event of a "source code" style count, COUNTHDR has the name of the field to count. COUNTROWs won't exist, so I'll be handling those counts differently. But, ignoring that issue for now, the report structure looks like this:
+ Q1 +
|
+ COUNTHDR +
|
+ COUNTROW +
| linked query
+ Q2 +
|
+ COUNTDTL +
Q2 is the query with lexical parameters for the table and "where clause" that identifies the actual statistic I need counted. I need fields from COUNTROW and COUNTDTL to form a Matrix.
Can this be done? How?
Of course, if anyone out there has a better idea on how to achieve my goal of not writing a report per table, please let me know!! :-)
TIA
Eric Raskin
PS. This structure does not exactly duplicate my original query, since multiple Matrix rows are created by the single SQL query given in the example. Instead, I'll end up executing an SQL query for each row, which is less than desirable. The design will need some tweaking...
PPS. I have tried handling this problem by pre-counting the target table and storing the results in a COUNTCOL table, containing the details of the matrix. This actually does work, but the performance is terrible. I have one "source code"-style count that generated over 20,000 detail cells, including all the "0" cells needed to fill out the matrix. If you don't generate the "0" cells, you get holes in the matrix presentation and/or error messages (which I can explain if you wish). I never did get Oracle Reports to print this one -- I gave up after an hour of runtime on a P4 3GHz machine connected via Gigabit Ethernet to the server. Hence the attempt to push the SQL Queries back into the Oracle Report itself.

XL Reporter Scheduled Jobs and connection settings

Company needs to decommission current SQL Server and move to new box.
Company has many XL Reporter scheduled jobs that run on a client machine.
When the new sql server is in place, what will happen to those jobs? The client machine SBO installation will be directed to the new sql server and the license server there. Will the scheduled jobs "know' from the SBO client to go to the new server for data? Or is the connection string somehow encapsulated in the scheduled job such that they will still try to access data on the old server?
SBO 2007 A SP 00 PL 48
(Yes, I know it's old. There are reasons.)
TIA.

Your 2nd guess is true: the connection string somehow encapsulated in the scheduled job such that they will still try to access data on the old server. It will not automatically find the new server unless new server has the identical settings.
You probably need to re-schedule those jobs.
Thanks,
Gordon

Crystal Reports 2008 - Eclipse and JNDI connection.

I am evaluting Crystal Reports 2008 .
I want to use JNDI connection that is defined within my app server by Crystal reports so that I'll have better control of the properties defined.
How do I set up JNDI data source connection in Crystal Reports 2008 ?
I defined the following parameters u2026
                JNDI Provider URL : jnp://localhost:1099
                Initla Context as : org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
And user name / password as defined in JBoss setup
I also have u201Cjboss\client\jbossall-client.jaru201D in the classpath .
But I am getting Cannot instantiate class exception .
Thanks in Advance for the help.

Mr. Ted, We can expose JNDI connections from the appserver. Infact the database connection pool resoures are exposed as JNDI resources, JMS factory and connections are exposed as JNDI etc.
In fact, JNDI is a means of securely exposing the resources managed by the app server to be used by trusted clients.
We have achieved this on weblogic (8.1 - JDK 1.4.2) but we would like to replicate the same in glassfish app server ver 3.1.2 and would require the proper factory placed inside the rpt as well as the CRConfig.xml.
Otherwise, (if we are using conventional URL string) when we ship the rpt files, we need to place this only as localhost. This mandates the presence of rpt files to be in the same server as database server and database. We want to avaoid this by creating a JNDI and use that database access resource inside the rpt files.

Unable to connect to Wi-Fi connection using WPA2 PSK authentication and encryption type TKIP

Original Title: TKIP selection in WiFi network settings
I have a workplace WiFi connection using WPA2 PSK authentication and encryption type TKIP.
On the machine I used to test Windows 10, I had a previous installation of Windows 7 professional which connected to my workplace WiFi using the above settings. After installing Windows 10, my workplace wifi settings were imported and worked fine.
Windows 10 had a system crash, and since I had deleted my previous windows installation, I performed a complete reinstall of Windows 7. However, when I went to install Windows 10 again, I had not taken the time to set up my workplace Wifi on Windows
7 before installing Windows 10. As a result, I had to set up my workplace wifi as a new connection in Windows 10.
When going to set up the wifi connection, the encryption type was grayed out, but appeared to default to AES. Searching the internet suggested that Windows 8.1 did not need a encryption type selected, because Windows could automatically determine
if it was TKIP or AES, hence why the option to select encryption type was grayed out. However, after completing the setup of my workplace wifi, Windows 10 could not connect to my workplace wifi. After restoring Windows 7 with a factory reset, and setting up
the workplace wifi (the encryption type selection was not grayed out and I manually selected TKIP encryption), my workplace wifi was working again.

What are the names and the parameters of the SSIS reports

what are the names and the parameters of the SSIS reports
(delivered with and included in the SSMS)
to navigate from my reports to the build in reports
it's necessary to know the reportname and the parameters.
I want to "combine" respectively want to navigate
from custom reports (works excellent) to the 5 build in reports
please have a look at the attached picture and in particular

thank you for providing an answer or a hint.

to navigate from my reports to the build in reports
Those integrated reports in SSMS are not hosted in SSRS, so there is no URL available where you can navigate to.

Crystal Reports for Enterprise and universe connections

Hi, I have noticed an issue with Crystal Reports for Enterprise that may give many administrators a headache.
If a BOBJ user has access to a sensitive universe (eg HR or Finance data) to run pre-built WebI reports from (but not create new ones or edit the universe) then they must have been give data-access to that universe's connection object. Security on the universe and folder could prevent them from accessing information from the universe they shouldn't see or editing the reports and creating new ones.
However if the same user is given access to Crystal Reports for Enterprise in order to access other data sources, then the fact that they have data-access to the above universe connection object now creates a security problem.
Crystal for Enterprise allows a user to open a universe connection object as a data-source. If the user opened the connection for the above 'sensitive' universe they could see all the data in the database - avoiding any universe level restrictions in the process.
What is the suggested way around this? There doesn't appear to be granular enough security to prevent users with data access on a connection object also using that object to create new reports in Crystal for Enterprise.
The only way around it I can see is to deny the user access to the sensitive universe output altogether, but this changes the whole business process for the team involved.
thanks
Keith

I have a couple of thoughts:
1. Create a special reporting user in the database that only has access to a set of views that don't include the sensitive information. Then create a universe based on those views which uses a connecting that logs in as that special user. Give the folks who don't have access to the sensitive data access to this connection and universe instead of the universe and connection that include the sensitive data.
2. Since you have BO, you should have a support contract. I would report this as a bug. However, SAP may tell you that it is "working as designed", in which case you could go to IdeaPlace (https://ideas.sap.com/) and add this as a requested enhancement.

I don't have any SAP Business Objects server etc...
How can i connect to my created univers. If i try to do, CRW2011 he asks me for a server.
As i remember a SAP technologist do a statement, that this is possible in CRW2011 but was not possible in earlier versions.
Or what is the minimum installation base a need on a local machine?
I need this solution, that i must not declare Business logic for every report again. And this solution should be for
small-size customers.
Customer side environments
- Crystal Reports Server 2008 (if available 2011)
- Crystal Reports Designer / Viewer
- Pervasive SQL DBMS

Hi Andreas,
Universes can only be connected to by logging onto a BOE Server. It's always been this way and I don't recall anyone saying that has changed. BOE 4.0 is using a new Universe file name and format so any older Universes will be upgraded.
As for off line Universe support that won't be supported in the current release and I don't recall anyone telling me it will ever be.
Who told you you could?
Thank you
Don

SQL Developer: View menu selections Reports and Connections not working

Downloaded latest SQL Developer May 9 updated version and my dropdown selections from the View menu for Connections, and View Reports do not work. However, Snippets does appear when selected. Hate to lose some of the User Defined reports I had created. Any help would be appreciated.

Don't know if I get what you're saying: the entries Connections and Reports from the View menu don't work?
On top of the connection tree, if you get one, aren't there the two tabs with these options?
If you're unable to view the whole tree, you're installation would be corrupted. Install from scratch in a separate folder, first without migration to see if that resolves the issue. Then you could do the same with migration to retrieve all previous settings and connections.

Enhancing Customer Reports with Commands and Parameters

Hi All,
I am implementing the mentioned tutorial. I have succesfully deployed the AccessStatisticApplication PAR on portal. While scheduling the report from Content Management -> Reports -> Running Reports, it is giving error "Can't find bundle for base name com.sap.netweaver.km.stats.reports.DocumentAccessReport, locale en_US". Has anyone faced the problem, can anyone please help to remove this runtime error.

True, the application property service is apparently not to be used for a real-life scenario
You can definitely use the application property service in production scenarios - it's used by other components in a standard KM install, i.e. out-of-the-box.
in our case it forced the server down with deadlocks. 
This should definitely not happen! Did you get SAP support to take a look at this? Was it the most popular documents report that caused this, or some other custom code? There should be no such problem with this service, since it's been around for quite some time and in production use.

Even if the code sample is not to be used for real-life scenarios it could at least make use of something else than the application property service which isnt't optimal for this use.

The application property service is good for a lot of scenarios, so it is realistic to use in in real-life scenarios. The only time I have seen this approach (storing the number of hits on documents in the database) fail is in very high-load scenarios.
Could you provide me with a link to the documentation for the logging framework?

Emails are "stuck" in my Apple Mail Outbox. I have deleted the account and reinstalled but still have the problem. Apple's "Network Diagnostics" report that it cannot connect to the SMPT server.

Emails are l "stuck" in my Apple Mail Outbox. I have deleted the account and reinstalled but still have the problem. Apple's "Network Diagnostics" report that it cannot connect to the SMPT server. TalkTalk (Tiscali) say there is no problem with their server because I have checked and can send emails with their webmail.

No that is not it:
Open Mail>Preferences>Accounts, the first page has this on it
If you click on the server name in the box (gmail in your case I assume) it opens and reveals this:
If you select Edit SMTP Server list you get this:
Post it here and, select the Advanced Tab (which looks like this)
Post this page as well.
