Reports tool of using Dynamic Report Templates or live reporting

Since both of them can be used to create report, what is the main differnece between them? do I have to use the live reporting if I want the report can be access though the web?

JW,
You are correct, if you need "real-time" interactive reports on the web then you would develop using live reporting. If you want, you can develop reports using the dynamic report templates in Excel and publish them to the web as PDF or HTML docs, but once they get published to the web the data is static. Note that book publishing of static reports can be scheduled within BPC so that you can regenerate nightly to the web portal if you wanted to.
I would say most people would develop reports using dynamic report templates because Excel gives you more functionality for calculations, formating etc.
Live Reporting on the web is more limited for formating etc.
Additionally I always find that as soon as someone opens a report from the web they immediatly want to print it.... so I usually opt for reports being developed in Excel (Dynamic Report Templates) then Book Publish with the PDF option, (PDF gives you the best control regarding print ranges).
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Brian

Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?

Hi ,
Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?
If yes please give some examples .
Thanx
srini

I believe the built-in package SRW.Do_Sql is what you are looking for
Example from the document:
/* Suppose you want to create a "table of contents" by getting the
** first character of a columns value, and page number on which its
** field fires to print. Assume that you want to put the "table of
contents"
** into a table named SHIP. You could write the following construct:
DECLARE
PAGE_NO NUMBER;
PAGE_FOR INDEX NUMBER;
SORT_CHAR CHAR(1);
CMD_LINE CHAR(200);
BEGIN
SORT_CHAR := :SORT_NAME ;
IF :CALLED = Y THEN
     SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_FOR_INDEX);
     SRW.USER_EXIT(RWECOP PAGE_FOR_INDEX
     P_START_PAGENO);
     SRW.MESSAGE(2,TO_CHAR(:P_START_PAGENO));
END IF;
SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_NO);
CMD_LINE := INSERT INTO SHIP VALUES
                      (||SORT_CHAR||,||TO_CHAR(PAGE_NO)||);
SRW.MESSAGE(2,CMD_LINE);
SRW.DO_SQL(CMD_LINE);
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX THEN
        NULL;
WHEN SRW.DO_SQL_FAILURE THEN
        SRW.MESSAGE(1,FAILED TO INSERT ROW INTO SHIP TABLE);
WHEN OTHERS THEN
       COMMIT;
END;

How can I modify column width in a spreadsheet report without using an Excel template

I currently use the LabVIEW Report Generation toolkit in LabVIEW 2011SP1 to create simple spreadsheet reports that I can build/print without having Microsoft Office products installed. I really like being able to do this, and it allows me to generate nice on-demand data reports - I'm also not tied to having Office installed on the system I'm using, so this works on just about any test fixture I can install the software on.
I recently have a requirement that I must have variable-length columns in my report. I currently use the VI "Append Text Table to Report" in order to create a text table, but the column width requirement is that all columns must be equal width UNLESS I use an Excel Template file to define my column widths.
My questions are:
Is it possible to create a text table and define per-column widths without using an Excel Template? If so, how? My report mainly has a lot of small numerical values for the columns, but some columns contain system names or status messages - I really hate the longer text blocks wrapping and taking up so much real-estate when if I could control the column widths I can get all my data on a single line.
I'll admit I haven't tried this myself yet, but if I use an Excel Template will that require me to have Excel installed on the PC in order to print/generate reports?
Is there a recommended way (with an example) of generating a text table in a report with or without using the "Append Text Table to Report" VI that allows me to have custom column widths that doesn't require me to manually build a custom print page? If I do have to create a custom print page, what would be the most straightforward approach?
Thanks!
-Danny

Sure, I'll provide a pared down example that demonstrates my use-case:
I have a control to the VI that takes in a 2D array of strings representing the data I want printed in a table. I am generating a standard report, adding a table to the report, and printing it. The first VI is "New Report.vi", the second VI is "Append Table to Report.vi", and the third is "Print Report.vi", all found standard in the Report Generation palette.
Note that the "Append Table to Report.vi" has an input parameter "Column Width" with a default value of (1). This input parameter is a single input parameter, which defines the column widths of ALL the columns in my table - hence, with the VI the way it is, all my columns will be 1 inch wide.
I find myself needing to be able to define per-column widths, not just a single global column width parameter.
The only way I have found to do this is by using an Excel template file. The "New Report.vi" takes in a "template" parameter, and if used, the report generation toolkit can be set to ignore the "Column Width" input parameter on the "Append Table to Report.vi" by setting the width value to -1. Instead it will launch Excel, open the template file provided, build the table using the template, will close Excel, and will attach the generated table to the report. However, I have a strict requirement that Microsoft Office NOT be required to be installed on the computer.
So, without using Excel, is there a way to generate a table in a report and define the width of each column individually?

http://badalratra.wordpress.com/2014/03/13/error-the-content-type-texthtml/
To create a Power View report, start Power View from a
data model file in SharePoint Server 2010 or 2013. Models, or connections to models, can be in a SharePoint Server document library or in a
Power Pivot Gallery, a special purpose SharePoint Server document library that provides rich preview and document management for published Microsoft Excel workbooks that contain data models.

How to use dynamic parameter when a report is created using Stored Procedures

Hi all,
any one have the idea of how to use dynamic parameter in crystal report XI R2
when report is created using Stored Procedure.

shashi kant chauhan

Hi
You can create an SQL command in Database Expert > Expand your datasource > Add command
Then enter the SQL query that will create the list of values to supply to the user
eg select field1,field2 from table
Then edit the parameter of the report. These will be the SP parameters adn can be seen in field explorer.
Change the parameter type to Dynamic
Under the word Value click on Click here to add item
Scroll down to your Command and select one of the values that you want to appear in the list
e.g field1
Then click on the Parameters field - this is essential to create the param
You can edit other options as required
That should do it for you.
I must say that i use CR 2008 connected to Oracle 10g SP, but i reckon this will work for SQL DB and CR XI as well
Best of luck

What is the best reporting tool to use over a WAN

I am currently working on improving the performance of our Oracle FMIS over a WAN that covers most of Australia.
I was wondering if anyone could point me to tech information on the impact of Oracle Reporting tools on a WAN.
The three tools we use are ADI, Discoverer and strait Oracle Reports.
I am not an expert in Oracle so even basic info on the effect of the 3 products would be of help, of course if anyone is willing to share their experiences it would be appreciated.
We have two major user sites of 500 people seperated by 3000km and 5 minor sites 2000 from head office. I unfortunalty am at the major office 3000km from the server with 500 dissatisfited users.

Dynamic Tab Template : Use Menu Navigation Across Multiple Applications

Hi
I have the following use case and would appreciate help.
Our client has multiple applications which they need integrated into a single home page. I am using the dynamic tab template as my home page with multiple panel boxes containing application specific menus. I need to be able to create a tab from any application via the menu.
My strategy is to use bounded task flows in the various applications, but I am not 100% sure on how to do it. The applications would also contain multiple task flows, so I would then need to be able to paramatise the task flows so that it can execute the correct flow case.
Thanks.
Leon.

Hi Sireesha
I can access the remote task flow from the menu using the action listener. When I use a managed bean to add a new tab using the task flow it fails with;
<RegistrationConfigurator><handleError> Server Exception during PPR, #1
java.lang.NullPointerException
The managed bean method to add the tab and execute the task flow is;
private void startActivity(String title, String taskid, boolean isNew) {
try {
if (isNew) {
TabContext.getCurrentInstance().addTab(title, taskid);
} else {
TabContext.getCurrentInstance().addOrSelectTab(title, taskid);
} catch (TabContext.TabOverflowException e) {
System.out.println("");
Where title is the tab title and taskid is the task id in format TaskFlowName.xml#TaskFlowID.
Thanks.

Try to use dynamic sql connection for additioal data for xml publisher

I understand that the xml publisher is using template to merger the xml data output (say from Oracle report).
We have some Oracle seeded report and do not wish to modify these report, but we do need to add additional data to these reports. In the past, the tool we used has the capability to make dynamic sql calls to get these additional data. Can this be achieved in xml publisher?
I did noticed that the template builder has two options for upload data source: from a data file or from a sql connection, but seems they can not be used together. Not much document I can find for this. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi All,
Sandeep: if u have the solution pls send to my email id [email protected]
ill really appriciate u r response.
I have the same requirement to develop AR Invoice Report in XML publisher, actually it was developed using Optio Layout.my issue is the actual AR Invoice RDF contains 20 records and it showing the 20 recodes when we run that program (concurrent program output) after that while printing this report uisng the OPTIO layout (The Optio system is fetching some more records (10 records)) it printing total 30 records. i mean here the OPTIO is handling some pl/sql code i guess..
so now how we can handle this requirement using XMLP.I am using RTF Templates with 5.6.2 v. Is it possible to do the same manner how the OPTIO was doing. Is this possible with any other Templates ?. or we need to customize the RDF itself ? .but I know that I can go ahead and modify the existing out-of-the-box report, but I do not want to do that. I do not have control over the XML that is generated since the XML is generated when the report is run. Is there any way to retrieve the extra information AFTER the xml has been generated and BEFORE the template is applied ?
Thanks,
Rad

OBIEE | Using Dynamic Session Variable in Physical Layer

Hi All,
Any idea if we can use Dynamic Session Variables (I think they are also called Repository Variables) in our physical layer. I basically need to set the value of this variable from dashboard when a link is clicked, and then use this in my SELECT query at physical layer so that OBIEE does not pull all the data from the database tables.

Christian,
Thanks for the quick response, ok we have actually moved to a different solution now, we are actually using Direct Database Request because one of our reports is supposed to be accessing direct transactional system i.e. for this report we are using OBIEE as a reporting tool. We are able to do that and even create links between different reports i.e. based on prompt in Report A filter Report B, but the scenario now is that we need to set a presentation variable from Report A when a navigation link gets clicked, because so far according to our knowledge direct SQL only allows presentation variables in its WHERE clause. So, any ideas how can we set a presentation variable when a navigation link is clicked. Thanks.
Regards

List of values failure error when trying to use dynamic data values

Hi there,
I have a user who is experiencing problems when trying to use dynamic values in a report. Whenever he tries to insert dynamic parameters he gets the following error message:
Prompting failed with the following message: 'List of Values failure: Failed to get values. [Cause of error: Access is denied.] Error Source: prompt.dll Error Code: 0x8004380D
He even opened the sample report - prompting.rpt - that is included with CR and gets the same error.
We are using Crystal Reports XI Release 2 ver. 11.5.11.1470.
Any help would be appreciated.

Please excuse my ignorance of the product. I've had this problem dropped in my lap and I know practically nothing about Crystal Reports. In doing some digging it appears to me as if the BusinessObjects Enterprise software may not be installed properly, if at all. In the programs menu under the BusinessObjects XI Release 2 folder I see a BusinessObjects Enterprise folder, but the only icon listed in that folder is Software Inventory Tool.
Is the BusinessObjects Enterprise software a separate install from Crystal Reports or is it bundled together? I talked with the tech that did the install and he said that all he had was the Crystal Reports install media.
