Reports Data Plotting Problems

I am concatinating several files from data collected at 1hz. There is often large time gaps between each file. How can I have the plots not connect the lines between each file set. It often makes the data look like it flat lined.

Hi bm2cox,
The short answer is to insert a row of NoValues between concatenations. I happen to be retooling my multiple file concatenating VBScripts which are posted on the web, and it occurred to me to add this as a parametrizable feature. Could you send over an example set of data files? If my VBScript works on them, I'll send it to you sometime today.

XML Publisher to Excel Report : Date format problem

Hi,
I am trying to create an Excel report with XML Publisher. I have an issue with the Date Fomatting.
In the XML template, I have set the "Date" column in date format. But the excel output report "Date" column returns as "General text" (string) and it is sorted as text, not as date.
Can anyone please help me out?
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Did this post solve your problem? I have the same issue that I need to solve.
I have an xsl-fo template with dates in it.
The dates are in english.
My excel is setup to use danish.
When I export to excel it knows the month jan, feb, mar, apr, ... which are the same in danish and english.
But months where it differs like may (danish maj) the cell is a general text instead of date.
Is there anyway you can set/transform the date in the xsl-fo template so it does not care about the language in excel?
Thank you in advance.

SSRS Report Data Caching Problem in Internet Explorer

HI All,
We have setup reporting server in native mode and have deployed SSRS reports on reporting server and mapped it to sharepoint page with report viewer web part.
The changes on the data is not getting reflected on the report unless I close the browser completely and reopen the URL but at the same time for other rdl reportr, data is getting changed on same brower. so it doesn't seems to be the browser issue (not sure).
Also the both reports are almost same.
Any Idea Guys...whats happening with the report or how I can make it work to refresh data properly. I already have tried "Auto Refresh" option in rdl and it refreshes the browser but data doesn't gets refreshed. Also I had deleted cookies, clear the cache
but it also did not work for me.
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nipendra Garg

Hi Nipendra Garg,
This might be caused by the refresh behavior of Internet Explorer. When visit a webpage with the same URL, IE may use an old version of this page which stored in browsing history.
If you're calling the report from a URL, add &rs:ClearSession=True. This will cause the browser to refresh the report every time it's called.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Eileen

Webi report data aggregation problem

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem when running webi report upon BI query.
In infoview, report shows as below,
Material          Plant             Sales
A                        001               100
A                        002               100
B                         001              120
If I drap Plant column out, it shows,
Material                Sales
A                           100
B                           120
Material A's sales is 100, not 200 as in BI rsrt1.
What might be the problem, any clue?

Hi Rongliang，
I've checked it, it is set as you said.
The problem still exists.
Another thing is , we got 3 dimensions, Material, Sales Org, Plant,
Key figure aggregates well for Sales Org and Plant, but not working for Material.
Any clue?

Crystal Reports Date Parameter Problem

Hello Experts,
I have this query in crystal, I need it to be suming the Quantity and Totals but because of the date optional its not doing that, How I put the date parameter and remove it from her so that I can achieve my results.
SELECT T0.[DocDate],T1.[Dscription] as 'BRANDS /SKU', Sum(T1.[Quantity]) as 'QTY', Sum(T1.[LineTotal]) as 'VALUE' FROM OINV T0 INNER JOIN INV1 T1 ON T0.DocEntry = T1.DocEntry INNER JOIN OCRD T2 ON T0.CardCode = T2.CardCode WHERE T2.[GroupCode] = '100' GROUP BY T1.[Dscription],T0.[DocDate]
Thanks,
Titi

Hi Titi,
I don't really get what your question is but I can suggest to add the date parameter on WHERE clause. In case it's optional, you can put validation checking before entering query. When it's null you set a period of time which is relevant to current date. And as replied by GordonDu, the parameter is compare to T0.DocDate
Hope it helps.

Report 6i Arabic Date alignment problem in Windows 7

Hi
We have 6i Forms and Report and wanna run in windows 7. But we found arabic Date disaplay problem in reports. As you know arabic writting from right. But date display like 21/10/1431 and I wanna like 1431/10//21.
I tried from regional setting and change date format from report. but this is problem from system it self,
not accept right alignment. Even I install left to right patch (KB979643-x86).
Please Help
Thanks

Like others have said you need to run the bootcamp installer to install the drivers.
The time issue was a constant annoyance rebooting with OSX and my old XP bootcamp setup but it's gone with Windows 7 once you set your time to UTC format in the date and time properties instead of local time which OSX uses and XP couldn't support.

FIGL Report validation(Different problem)

Hi Guys,
We are doing the FIGL query testing by comparing the data
in multiprovider and report results.
But here we are facing problem.I have given some inputs in
report selection screelevel
(companycode ,currency,profitcenter and X hierarchy
value ).We have a hierarchy and i
restricted that hierarchy to one node level.It is showing the
reuslt on top left.
I'm trying to give the same selections in muliprovider level but
in hierarchy level i'm unable to give the input.
My question is
What value i have to give in Heirarchy level?
Can any one suggest me?It is very urgent.
Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Prasad

Hi Ravikanth,
Thanks for your quick response.Actually when I enable the
heirarchy in query level it is showing the result on top
left.When I deselect the hierarchy it is showing the result on
bottom left.
Is it any node level problem?
Another thing what value I have to give in multiprovider level
when comparin data with report data?
Ex: In report level I have selected the two nodes COGS and
Calculated Profit.
But in multiprovider level what I have to give?

Loading complex report data into a direct update DSO using APD

Dear All,
Recently, I had a requirement to download the report data into a direct update DSO using an APD. I was able to perform this easily when the report was simple i.e it has few rows and columns. But I faced problems If the report is a complex one. Summing up, I would like to know how to handle the scenarios in each of the following cases:
1.   How should I decide the key fields and data fields of the direct update DSO ? Is it that the elements in ROWS will go to the
      key fields of DSO and the remaining to the data fields? Correct me.
2.   What if the report contains the Restricted KFs and Calculated KFs? Do I have to create separate infoobjects in the BI
      system and then include these in the DSO data fields to accommodate the extracted data ?
3.   How do I handle the Free Characteristics and Filters ?
4. Moreover, I observed that if the report contains selection screen variables, then I need to create variants in the report and
     use that variant in the APD. So, if I have 10 sets of users executing the same report with different selection conditions, then
     shall I need to create 10 different variants and pass those into 10 different APDs, all created for the same report ?
I would appreciate if someone can answer my questions clearly.
Regards,
D. Srinivas Rao

Hi ,
PFB the answers.
1. How should I decide the key fields and data fields of the direct update DSO ? Is it that the elements in ROWS will go to the
key fields of DSO and the remaining to the data fields? Correct me.
--- Yes , you can use the elements in the ROWS in the Key fields, but in case you get two records with same value in the ROWS element the data load will fail. So you basically need to have one value that would be different for each record.
2. What if the report contains the Restricted KFs and Calculated KFs? Do I have to create separate infoobjects in the BI
system and then include these in the DSO data fields to accommodate the extracted data ?
Yes you would need to create new Infoobjects for the CKF's and RKF's in the Report and include them in your DSO.
3. How do I handle the Free Characteristics and Filters ?
The default filters work in the same way as when you yourself execute the reoprt. But you cannot use the Free characterisitics in the APD. only the ROWS and cloumns element which are in default layout can be used.
4. Moreover, I observed that if the report contains selection screen variables, then I need to create variants in the report and
use that variant in the APD. So, if I have 10 sets of users executing the same report with different selection conditions, then
shall I need to create 10 different variants and pass those into 10 different APDs, all created for the same report ?
--- Yes you would need to create 10 different APD's. Its very simple to create, you can copy an APD. but it would be for sure a maintance issue. you would have to maintain 10 APD's.
Please revert in case of any further queries.

PowerPivot report data refresh error Data source as SharePoint list Data Feed

Hi All,
I am facing a problem on auto refresh, the report data source is SharePoint list Data Feed, I saved it my PC desktop when I set up auto fresh it fails then I moved the SharePoint list data feed "atomsvc" file to A SharePoint Data feed library then connected
to report started a manual refresh it was success, after next schedules it failed.
Error massage:
Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDbConnection interface was being used:
The network path was not found. ;The network path was not found. The network path was not found. .
A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of '82f49f39-45aa-4d61-a15c-90ebbc5656d',
Name of 'DataFeed testingreport'. An error occurred while processing the 'Testing Report' table. The operation has been cancelled.
Thank you very much !
erkindunya

If you are using Claims Auth then this is a known limitation. Auto refresh only works under Classic Auth.
I trust that answers your question...

Report painter performance problem...

I have a client which runs a report group consists of 14 reports... When we run this program... It takes about 20 minutes to get results... I was assigned to optimize this report...
This is what I've done so far
(this is a SAP generated program)...
1. I've checked the tables that the program are using... (a customized table with more than 20,000 entries and many others)
2. I've created secondary indexes to the main customized table with (20,000) entries - It improves the performance a bit(results about 18 minutes)...
3. I divided the report group by 4... 3 reports each report group... It greatly improves the performance... (but this is not what the client wants)...
4. I've read an article about report group performance that it is a bug.
(sap support recognized the fact that we are dealing with a bug in the sap standard functionality)
http://it.toolbox.com/blogs/sap-on-db2/sap-report-painter-performance-problem-26000
Anyone have the same problem as mine?

Report painter/Writer always creates a prerformance issue.i never preffred them since i have a option with Zreport
now you can do only one thing put more checks on selection-screen for filtering the data.i think thats the only way.

AR Aging Trend report data through backend tables

Hi,
We have the AR Aging Trend report live and running. The report is optimized to the maximum but during the month end closing time the report generate a lot of timeout/proxy errors. Later we understood that the users are actually using the report to dump the data out to an excel. As this report is giving problem, there is a requirement which has come to give the AR Aging data from the back end tables. As per our current flow we have the 0FI_AR_4 data source giving data to a DSO called Customer Line Items. Now i need to generate the data from this DSO to another DSO with a particular company code and open items in filter and day should always point to last wednesday. That means, even with the AR aging trend report user is running the report using always last wednesday as the key date. Now if i want to load the data from the DSO to another DSO how can i load the data for last wednesday given any system date.
Regards

Crystal Report Caching(?) Problem

Post Author: cfernald
CA Forum: General
We have a web app that launches Crystal Reports (version 10) in the crystal reports viewer that plugs into IE (version 6.0). The whole thing is managed by Crystal Enterprise Server.
The problem: You launch a report and let's say it shows you 10 lines of data on the report. You perform some activity in the application that updates the database such that an 11 lines should appear on the report. However, when you run the report again (after closing the IE session from the first viewing) you only see 10 lines (while expecting 11).
There's a little "dance" I do to "clear cache": I hit the "Refresh Report" icon (the "lightening bolt" icon), close the browser and then relaunch the report. This seems to tell the report to re-read the database rather than use the data that was previously retrieved.
Clearly the results are being cached somewhere - can someone point to where I might look to control that behavior?
\cbf

Post Author: cfernald
CA Forum: General
Ok, I did some additional research and learned all about how CR has a CacheServer that can be controlled through the Crystal Management Console. Specifically there is a setting for the CacheServer named: "Oldest on-demand data given to a client" which is expressed as a number of minutes. From the manual:
This value controls how long report pages and prompt pages can stay in the cache. Once an object has been in the cache for the given number of minutes, it is aged out of the cache and there will be no further cache hits for this object. The default setting is 0 u2013 which means that no prompt pages or report pages will be server from cache. For optimal prompting performance, we recommend setting this value to the largest possible value without impacting data currency. For example, if the data that your reports access changes only once a day, then you can probably set this value to be 8 hours (or 480 minutes). If the data that your reports access changes every 5 seconds, and your report consumers need to see current data, then this value should be set to 0.
Based on the last sentence above, I want this value set to zero to meet our reporting needs. However, after setting it to zero and restarting everything, I still see cache entries in the CacheServer directory and Crystal is still caching report data.
What am I missing?

Missing Connection Types in Report Data Source Properties

I am running three installations of SharePoint 2013 with SQL 2012 for Business Intelligence, with Kerberos working.
I have been having intermittent issues with SQL Reporting Services in a multi-server configuration, but finally had it working in all three environments. We discovered many of our issues were caused by master page customizations which we have now disabled
temporarily while we work on function issues.
However, we started having a new problem with Reporting Services on just ONE of the environments, and we are not sure what happened. Most everything appears to still be working, except Reporting Services. I have verified that features are enabled
in both the farm and the site collection, as well as insured managed content types are being allowed on the target document libraries. I also verified the Reporting Service properties and database connections. However, I have found two clear symptoms
which I can find no other information regarding (in logs or in online searches):
1) If we try to create a new "Report Data Source" using the SharePoint UI, it will open a new Data Source Properties window, but in the "Data Source Type" field, there are no values available for me to select my connection type (e.g.,
Microsoft SQL Server).
2) In Central Administration, while administering the Reporting Services Service Application, I can manage a majority of the settings, including System Settings, Manage Jobs, Key Management, etc. However, if I click on the link for "E-mail Settings,"
I get the dreaded "Sorry Something went wrong screen," with an error saying that "Object reference is not set to an instance of an object."
So I am hoping someone has an idea of where I can look for additional information on this issue, or even better, knows what I am missing to get Reporting Services functional again in this environment!
Thanks in advance for any help provided.
Elohir

However, we started having a new problem with Reporting Services on just ONE of the environments, and we are not sure what happened.
Hi Elohir,
I assume you are installing Reporting Services SharePoint mode for SharePoint 2013, you need to:
1. Install "Reporting Services – SharePoint" and "Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Products" on the SharePoint server that the SSRS service will run on. All other SP servers only need the "Reporting Services
add-in for SharePoint Products."
2. Run the Insall-SPRSService and Install-SPRSServiceProxy on Central Admin and SSRS server.
3. Start SSRS Service only on desired SSRS servers.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219068.aspx
Since the issue occurs only to one of the environments, please provide more information about your multi-server configuration, and point out the server where the issue occurs.

How do I report a security problem to Firefox?

Here's the problem: 
Wednesday morning my Mac at home got infected by malware which I believe is usually called the "Google redirect virus". My Mac at home has been upgraded to OSX 10.6.7 and I believe I was using Firefox 3.6.13 (it automatically upgraded tonight). I haven't been able to find any useful information on line about this malware. 
The behavior after infection was that every time I tried to use Google my request would get redirected. If I entered www.google.com in the address bar, the URL would get changed to www.google.com/FuneralHomes/<something> and the browser would try to go there and a "Under Construction" error message or a no-such-page message would be returned. This started happening after I did a Google search and was checking various links in Firefox, but once it started in Firefox I got the same behavior in Safari even without using Safari to look at any links. And it continued to happen in Safari even after I did a "Reset Safari..." 
When I got infected I was using a non-adminstrator account and I was not asked to download anything nor was I prompted for a password. 
I searched on "Google redirect Mac virus" using my (so far) untouched work computer and found several suggestions but no solutions. Apparently this is a PC problem that's been around a few years, but there were some Mac reports from last year. So last night I checked the DNS addresses in my
Network preferences, looked at /etc/hosts, and removed the only plug-in from the Library:Internet Plug-ins of the infected account, even though it was a Picasa plug-in that predated this infection. None of those seemed to be the problem. I also scanned my disk with an up-to-date "Norton AntiVirus" which
I got from work some time ago, but it found no viruses. 
What really puzzles me is that the problem gradually went away while I was checking it last night. At first, when I entered www.google.com the browser would still show the redirected address in the prompt that comes up and it had the Legacy.com logo on the left instead of the Google one but it would actually go to the Google website (unless I'm being spoofed). Then at a later attempt, only the wrong logo persisted. Then at an even later attempt the logo got fixed and everything looked fine and appeared to behave correctly. 
Frankly, that's a little scary. It's as if a really smart trojan got
installed and was covering its tracks while it set up a man-in-the-middle attack (please advise if I'm misusing the jargon). If I'm being too paranoid, great, but I'd still like to know how such behavior could be induced on my machine just by linking to a website. Can anyone help?
''moderator- fixed the leading space formatting errors in this posting''

Thanks, the-edmeister, but the only relevant post I found was from GB Colburn on bleepingcomputer.com, wherein he reported a similar problem about a year ago. I've found a few similar threads in the last year or so (by searching "Google redirect mac virus" in Google) but they are all about the same: someone reports the problem, responders have various random suggestions, the problem seems to go away by itself (at least sometimes), and there's nothing conclusive either good or bad.
Without myself being as knowledgeable as GB Colburn, it doesn't look to me like the problem is in the DNS system or the router. It acts more like some malware in the automatic completion in the address bar of the browser or maybe in the history system, but I can't figure out how an infection in one browser could affect another browser. And I *really* can't figure out how it could be self-healing.
It's really frustrating that none of the major parties involved in this—Firefox, Google, Safari (Apple), Verizon (my internet provider)—even have a process for reporting a security issue. At least not one that I, an ordinary semi-naive user, can find.
