Restrict the graphs in some reports

Hi all,
We've designed a web template for our reports. This template has 'Chart' web item and we've made this template as the defualt template for all our BI reports.
But we have few reports fro which we don't want graphs. One solution is to make template without 'Chart' web item for each such kind of reports where we don't want the graphs but this adds up more maintenance work.
Is there a way by which we could use only one web template(defualt template) and hide the graphs for some reports ?
Thanks
Alok

Alok,
We've designed a web template for our reports. This template has 'Chart' web item and we've made this template as the defualt template for all our BI reports.
If i have understood your query properly :
U have created a template with table and Chart and made this as a default template so that any one can use this template as reference and same template can be used by 'Save As' and give different tech name and Description as per the new query they are working on....! Am i rite ?
If yes, then this is a standard practice and this is how we managed in one of our project.
But we have few reports for which we don't want graphs. One solution is to make template without 'Chart' web item for each such kind of reports where we don't want the graphs but this adds up more maintenance work.
Now coming to the requirement u need to display chart for some on the queries and for some of the queries u need not to display chart at all ! Am i rite ?
if Yes , then in the standard template for Web item chart let the default display property be 'Visible' and so when ever a new report requirement comes where in u need not to display the chart then simply make a copy (save as) of your default template choose the chart item and change the property to 'hidden' and the chart item remains hidden for this new report.
Also there is no maintanace as well becoz u have your standard template intact and all u r doing is making a copy of the template and changing the simple property of the chart web item either 'display' or 'hidden'. as per the requirement.
Also i would like to add a line here even if u have 2 chart items in your template and u want cherry pick the chart to display and hide u can do that, If Chart 1 needs to be hidden and select chart item 1 and change the property to Display or hidden as per the requirement.
Hope this is clear.
Regards

Problem with the number format in the graph axis with Report Generation Toolkit.

Hi!
I'm trying to use the Report Generation Toolkit to plot some graphs in Excel.
My first problem is that I don't know how to configure the number format in the Excel Set Graph Font.vi so that my numbers are correctly displayed in the graph's axis. The only given option is general (0,0) but this is not enough for me, my numbers can get really small so I need engineering notation or fraccional format.
Second: I also insert a table with the graph source data, but the numbers are not correctly displayed either: for example:
0,75 is shown as:
0,750000
but 1,25 is shown as:
1!250!000
My guess is I am making to much or wrong string to number conversions or Excel is getting it wrong but I can't find my way...
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,
Isabel

Here is my VI, it's just a trial so it can look messy...
Thanks,

SetDataSource not setting the data on some reports.

I am working with a VB6 app, and it uses Crystal Reports 8.5. It used to work when I had unbound fields on the reports, but my boss said we need to use bound data fields.
So I changed the reports to use bound data, but only some of the reports now work. The data being passed to the reports is in the form of a recordset. I have a check in place to make sure there are records to post, and for some reports, it acts as though no data was passed at all.
On some reports I get an error "Unable to access first record." Then it tells me "SQL Server Error." But I am using MS Access as the datasource, and I have checked to make sure that all the fields in the database have not changed in any way to what was used in design time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris

How to restrict the users in ALV Report

HI Experts,
I have a requirement that in an ALV report i have 10colums in the otput of an alv report program now if i want the 5 users to see only the 4 column and if i want the other users to see only 3colums how can we do thal please help me on this
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
We can simply Hide those columns in Fieldcat settings According to User Name
But those columns again appear if the Layout Settings are changed in ALV.
So,Fill that field cat according to User login i.e, one structure with 4 columns and
other structure with 3 columns.
data : begin of itab occurs 0,
              a type i,
              b type i,
              c type i,
              d type i,
              e type i,
           end of itab.
*Here I am filling Fieldcat According to user names and
* FILL_FIELDCAT is a Subroutine write your code to fill Fieldcat
if sy-uname = 'DDIC'.
perform fill_fcat using a.
perform fill_fcat using b.
elseif sy-uname = 'SAP*'.
perform fill_fcat using a.
perform fill_fcat using b.
perform fill_fcat using c.
perform fill_fcat using d.
elseif sy-uname = 'SAPUSER'.
perform fill_fcat using a.
perform fill_fcat using b.
perform fill_fcat using c.
perform fill_fcat using d.
perform fill_fcat using e.

How to restrict the charactersitic values in reporting

Hi All,
I have a CCA report with characterstic "GL Accont". Instead of displaying the complete characteristic values i want to display the first 3 characters out of EIGHT characters in that report( say "10003WW", i need to display it as "100" only).
Looking for your earliest response.
Thanks in advance...

Hi Suresh,
In My R& D This is not possible at query level ie without changing the infoprovider.
I am giving another solution for this.
1. Create a new characteristic based on current O Gl account
2. The new characteristic should be a navigational one to the 0 Gl account.
3. In the transfer rules of 0GL ACCOUNT you write a routine for this new navigational attr. Data will update from GL account but only first 3 digits will update.
4. Specify the same NA in the data target.
5. Add this NA to your Query.
For this changes will not harm the Transaction data in the production. But you should Re- init the master data of 0 GL Account.
You should try with this solution in the Development, if you feel it doesn't harm any transactional data then you should proceed.
Thanks & Regards,
Venkata sharma.

Restricting the data using attributes

Hi All,
I have to restrict the data in my report based on the Order type and Order Status. But these 2 fields are
attributes to Sales Order. Is there any possibility to restrict the query using the attributes of a CHAR.
Rgds,
Nene.

Hi Nene
May be your mate
this is the F1 help text
Selection of Filter Values for Query Definition
This field describes how the selection of filter values and the restriction of characteristics functions when you define queries.
The values from the master data table are normally displayed when you restrict characteristics. For characteristics without a master data table, the values from the SID table are displayed instead. In a number of cases, however, it could be better to display only the values that are in the InfoProvider. The setting "InfoProvider Values Only" is permitted for this reason.
Selection of Filter Values for Query Execution
This field describes how the selection of filter values functions when a query is executed.
Normally the values from the data selected by the query are defined when you select filter values as you execute the query. Only the values for which data was selected for the current navigation status are displayed.
In a number of cases it can make sense to permit additional values as well. The settings "InfoProvider Values Only" and "Master Data Table Values" are allowed for this reason. If you make this selection, the message "No Data Found" may appear after selecting filter values.
and regarding the status 6 records are you sure that the master data related to that is active if not run arrtibute change run that might be helpful

Performance Issue-;How to restrict the total output of the report.

Hi Experts
I need your advise to resolve one performance issue in my BI Publisher report.
My report query is extracting more than 80000 records at once. To load these records into the report template it is taking all most 14 to 15 hours. Unfortunately i cannot change my logic to put some more filter to restrict the query output, as this is the requirement from the client.
Is there any way i can restrict my report so that it will extract the first 1000 record and on the event of pressing next it will extract the next 1000 record and so on from the point when it left in last time.
Kindly let me know if you have any solution for this.
Thanks in advance.

How to restrict the display of report variants

Hello All,
I want t know how to restrict the display of report variants.
I mean, when a user saves a variant for his/her purpuse on some report program, only he/she can refer the variant while other users cannot.
I know that by setting the attribute of the variant ("Protect Variant ", "Only Display in Catalog"), this would be possible, but I want to know another way, without this setting.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi,
If you are using WAD to diaply charts, open your web template and select that chart web item and go to properties of that web item. Increase the "Height" and "Width in Pixels" according to your need. Then you will find the texts of those charts in the output. It depends on the size of the chart occupied.

Need help for report Variable to restrict the key figure value...

Hai gurus,
Now i have data in the cube as follows...
Reuisition     HR INTW date     LM INTW DATE     TEL INTW DATE     HR Count     LM Count     TEL Count
a1              01.01.2010     02.01.2010             01.04.2010                 1                1                 1
a2              02.02.2010     03.02.2010             02.02.2010                 1                1               1
a3              03.03.2010     04.03.2010             03.03.2010                 1                1               1
when i execute the report it shd ask the prompts with Date interval as in the below...
HR INTW date
LM INTW DATE
TEL INTW DATE
if i dont give any interval in the variable prompt it should display all the recors as follows
Reuisition     HR Count     LM Count     TEL Count
a1               1                  1               1
a2               1                  1                     1
a3               1                   1             1
If i give LM INTW DATE interval as    01.01.2010 to 31.02.2010
then it should display all the other counts as in the output_1 , but for LM count for a3 it should show 0.
Reuisition     HR Count     LM Count     TEL Count
a1               1                  1               1
a2               1                  1                     1
a3               1                 0                  1
that means wherever i restrict the data depending on the variable that only that interval key figure value shd be in the report..
for this scenario, which variable i need to use... and how i need to restict the KFig value in the report...
Right now i am getting like this but it is restricting the records,,, where it should not restrict the records...in the report..
Please guide me for the same...
If any concerns about the scenario please let me know...

How to create own attributes in the graph.xml of 10g Reports

Hi,
Iam using 10g reports. Iam recreating the graphs in 10g which were created in Graphics builder earlier. While doing that I found lot of features are missing in 10g reports charts wizard. It has only limited number of Graph types when compared to the Graphics builder. Like there is no Curve graph in 10g. The available are Line, Bar and Area. So how can I draw a curve instead of line? 10g Legend looks very ugly. There is lot of space between the values. Is there anyway that I can add my own attributes in the graph.xml and register in the reports?
Please advise.
Thanks.
Ram Dontineni.

Hi Ram,
how can I draw a curve instead of line?I have posted a Q in BI Beans Forum for you, we should get an answer there:
Curved Line Graph?
10g reports charts wizard. It has only limited number of Graph types when compared to the Graphics builderThat may not be exactly true.
10g Graph Wizard supports 11 major graph types, and 47 sub-types
While 6i Graphics Builder supported 5 major graph types and 35 graph sub-types
There are differences between 6i Graphics and 10g Graph Wizard, so certain things you might have been able to do in 6i may not be entirely possible in 10g. However, the main advantages of the 10g Graph option are - it internally uses BI Beans, which is used in ALL Oracle poducts like JDeveloper, Discoverer, Oracle Apps etc. So the customer gets a consistent look-and-feel. And that it is possible to define your Graph in XML format (and through Java API in JDeveloper).
We have published a list of FAQ's on OTN where you should get answers to at least some of your Q's:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/index.html (click on Graphing FAQ)
Is there anyway that I can add my own attributes in the graph.xml and register in the reports?This will not be possible, however, you should take a look at the complete list of elements and their attributes that is exposed in Graph.dtd - you can then choose the attributes you want, and add them to your Report's Graph.xml:

How to Restrict the users from changing the Default variant of report.

Hello everybody,
The requirement is to restrict the users to save and overwrite the default layout variant (Layout for higher managenet)set for the report, but at the same time they should be able to change and save the other layouts for which they are having access.
I have written the logic in the program which is working fine for all the scenario when we execute the report. But the logic doesnt work if the user is selecting the layout on the output screen of the report.
for e.g if the user runs the report using the layout varaint for which he is having the authorization then he gets the all 4 options so he then he can select the layout for which he is not authorized and he can overwrite.
i have debugged and check as i have found that after the report output is shown all the layout paramater is controllled by the statndard SAP objects.
Can anyone help me out in this issue.
Thankyou in advance.
*to get the default layout variant.
w_save = 'A'.
if p_vari is initial.
    clear disvariant.
    disvariant-report = sy-repid.
    w_variant = disvariant.
    call function 'REUSE_ALV_VARIANT_DEFAULT_GET'
      exporting
        i_save     = w_save
      changing
        cs_variant = w_variant
      exceptions
        not_found = 2.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      p_vari = w_variant-variant.
    endif.
endif.
*logic to check user authorization to change the layout setting.
if p_vari = c_layout.
    if not sy-uname is initial.
      select single * from agr_users
              where agr_name = c_role
              and   uname    = sy-uname.
      if sy-subrc = 0.
        w_save = 'A'.
      else.
        w_save = ' '.
      endif.
    endif.
endif.

Satish.

Hi Maine,
Thanks for your reply.
As you mentioned for your own program, you can control the parameter "I_SAVE", when calling "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY".
so already i have use the same logic and control the parameter through I_SAVE and here i am calling method ALV_GRID->SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY instead of "REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY".
and it works fine when we execute the report but the logic doesnt work when the user tries to change and save the layout variant on the output screen of the report.
