Retrieving data outside the bursting select tree

Hi,
When bursting according to a specific location in my data, I find that I cannot access fields outside the scope of the 'select' in the control file.
I have the following xml file:
<DATA>
_<CONTROL_AREAS>
__<CONTROL_AREA>
___<CNAME>Control Area Name</CNAME>
___<BRANCHES>
____<BRANCH>
_____<DIVISIONS>
______<DIVISION>
_______<AGENTS>
________<AGENT>
________</AGENT>
_______</AGENTS>
______</DIVISION>
_____</DIVISIONS>
____</BRANCH>
___</BRANCHES>
__</CONTROL_AREA>
_</CONTROL_AREAS>
</DATA>
My select request in my control file tries to burst according to branches as follows:
<xapi:request select="/DATA/CONTROL_AREAS/CONTROL_AREA/BRANCHES/BRANCH">
My report template however, needs to be able to display "CNAME" which is a node in the /DATA/CONTROL_AREAS/CONTROL_AREA section of data. Opening the generated report shows a blank space where the field 'CNAME' should be.
Is this information available when I use a 'select' to somewhere inside the tree?
Or do I need to create a new template each time to display the outer data?
I tried many XPATH combinations but was unable to get that to work either.
Thanks in advance!

The workaround for this is really easy. If prunning is taking place, re-organize the burst file to start with the deepest node then work back. I was able to get it to work correctly. You will need to remove the C:\\. I have to do this because I'm running locally on my pc.
There is no need to re-write your query....

  • Referencing data outside the bursting select tree in the control file

    BIP 5.6.3 / EBS 11.5.10.2 + EBS Bursting Integration patch
    I am trying to burst to files in a directory whose name is in the XML, but outside of the bursting select tree, but I have having problems picking up the value.
    XML Data:
    <DATA>
    _<CHECKS>
    __<CHECK>
    ___<CHECK_NUMBER>1234</CHECK_NUMBER>
    __<CHECK>
    _<CHECKS>
    _<DIRECTORY>/u01/DEV/checks/</DIRECTORY>
    </DATA>
    Bursting select request:
    <xapi:request select="/DATA/CHECKS/CHECK">
    I am trying to define the output file with:
    <xapi:filesystem id="111" output="${../../DIRECTORY}/Check_${CHECK_NUMBER}.pdf"/>
    But this isn't working (or ${DATA/DIRECTORY} or ${DATA[1]/DIRECTORY} which have been my only other thoughts with this XML structure) - it is leaving the directory blank and I am getting the following error in the bursting request:
    [oracle.apps.xdo.template.FOProcessor][EXCEPTION] IOException is occurred in FOProcessor.setOutput(String) with '/Check_1234.pdf'.
    [oracle.apps.xdo.template.FOProcessor][EXCEPTION] java.io.FileNotFoundException: /Check_1234.pdf (Permission denied)
    Am I able to refer to DIRECTORY with the XML structure and request select as above or do I need to move DIRECTORY into the select tree and duplicate the value for each check?

    Hi,
    Unfortunately it is not possible to select data from outside your ‘for each loop’ in the bursting file. So yes, you will need to move ‘DIRECTORY’ into the select tree.

  • "evdre encountered a problem retrieving data from the webserver"

    Hi
    We are using a big report which takes very long time to expand and sometimes we get the error message "evdre encountered a problem retrieving data from the webserver" when expanding the report, but not very often for most of our users. But we have one user who gets this error message almost every second time he expands the report. This user have a computer with same capacity as the rest of us, can there be some setting on the computer or in the client installtion the cause this problem?
    We are using BPC 5.1 SP 5

    Hi,
    This error occurs usually if we have huge data in combination of our dimensions.
    Even, if the selection of your memberset is not apt to the combination of the data present in the back end, you may encounter a data retrival error.

  • Failed to retrieve data from the database.DB Vendor Code 156

    Hi,
    We recently migrated our scheduled Crystal Reports from BO XI R2 platform to BO XI 3.1, and are having issues with select reports that pull from the same SQL database.  The tables and fields exist in the database - and I ran the SQL in a different tool and the syntax is correct.  When I try to run an on-demand or schedule one of these reports in 3.1 Infoview I receive the following error:
    Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: [Database Vendor Code: 156 ]
    Running:

    BO XI 3.1 SP2 (FP 2.7)
    Please advise!  Thanks!

    Hi LuAnn,
    Not really clear what he said but I believe this is correct. The BOE servers are typically running under the local System Account. So when it passed the report job from the BOE Server it is the Local System account that the database is getting. We only do single hop for security. Which means if you are logged into InfoView under your local domain account and try to run a report BOE will not, unless specified in the custom database connection options in the CMC, pass your credentials to the DB but will pass the local system account credentials which is likely why these reports are failing.
    As A TEST only Ask your Administrator to set up a user account in MS SQL Server that has rights to run all reports. Or when you create the report check on the option to use Trusted Authentication. Then when the reports are published to BOE your log on credentials should get passed to the DB server through BOE.
    You'll have to more testing to find a Use account that you can run BOE Servers under and still maintain DB security and report level security that works for you. I also suggest you post your security questions to the BOE Administrator forum to get help configuring all of this and what others are doing.
    Thank you

  • MS Access - Failed to retrieve data from the database

    Hello,
    I've developed a quite complex report (CR XI) from a SQL Server 2005 database. The report contains a number of inner and outer joins and a subreport.
    I have a duplicate copy of the database held in MS Access. If I attempt to change the datasource location to the MS Access database, I'm unable to run the report and get the following error:
    Failed to retrieve data from the database.
    Details: ADO Error Code: 0x80040e14
    Source: Microsoft JET Database Engine
    Description: Join expression not supported.
    SQL State: 3000
    Native Error: -540806602 (Database Vendor Code: -540806602)
    By changing every outer join to an inner, the report pulls in data but obviously not what is required. It seems as though it doesn't like the outer joins.......
    Would this be in some way due to limitations with the JET database engine?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Failed to retrieve data from the database error message

    Hello,
    I have a fairly simple report that correctly retrieves the data from the database providing that there are no selection formula.
    However, as soon as I add the record selection formula:
    {fireService.serviceDate} >= DateTime (2009, 10, 3, 0 ,0 ,0)
    I get the following errors:
    Failed to retrieve data from the database
    Cannot determine the queries necessary to get data for this report. Details: An invalid range operator has been encountered.
    However, when I use the Database / Show SQL Query option and copy the query directly into the sql query analyser it works perfectly.
    Any ideas?

    I am using a table to select the records from.
    In fact it is a series of joined tables.
    The SQL Query generated is:
    SELECT "fire"."unitNumber", "configLocation"."location", "configFireEquipmentType"."type", "configFireEquipmentSize"."size", "configFireEquipmentRating"."rating", "fire"."yearManufactured", "fire"."LPT", "configFireServiceLevel"."Level", "configTest"."test", "fireService"."serviceRepairs", "customer"."name", "customer"."customerGUID", "customer"."address1", "customer"."address2", "fireService"."serviceDate", "fireService"."comment"
    FROM   (((((((("SAFE2"."dbo"."fire" "fire" INNER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."customer" "customer" ON "fire"."customerGUID"="customer"."customerGUID") INNER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."fireService" "fireService" ON "fire"."fireGUID"="fireService"."fireGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configLocation" "configLocation" ON "fire"."locationGUID"="configLocation"."locationGUID") INNER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."fireEquipment" "fireEquipment" ON "fire"."fireEquipmentGUID"="fireEquipment"."fireEquipmentGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configFireEquipmentRating" "configFireEquipmentRating" ON "fireEquipment"."ratingGUID"="configFireEquipmentRating"."fireEquipmentRatingGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configFireEquipmentSize" "configFireEquipmentSize" ON "fireEquipment"."sizeGUID"="configFireEquipmentSize"."fireEquipmentSizeGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configFireEquipmentType" "configFireEquipmentType" ON "fireEquipment"."typeGUID"="configFireEquipmentType"."fireEquipmentTypeGUID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configFireServiceLevel" "configFireServiceLevel" ON "fireService"."serviceLevelID"="configFireServiceLevel"."levelID") LEFT OUTER JOIN "SAFE2"."dbo"."configTest" "configTest" ON "fireService"."testID"="configTest"."testID"

    It looks complext but is not.  Most of these joins reference lookup tables.

  • Failure to retrieve data from the database (Vendor Code 6550)

    I am having a trouble with two of the 6 reports that I have created. I am using Crystal XI and Oracle 10g. The underlying database object is a stored procedure that accepts as input a start time as a TIMESTAMP, an end time as a TIMESTAMP and a furnace number as a number. I have a cursor ref as a return parameter.
    When I run the stored procedure in Oracle I get the selected records and can view them on the screen.
    When I refresh data on the report in Crystal XI developer, the designer asks me for the start and end time and furnace number. When I input these values the report displays properly.
    When I launch the report from my VB .NET 2005 application I am asked for the username and the password for the database (this is another problem I need to solve as this information I put into the program seems to be ignored in my program) then I receive the following failure message:
    Failure to retrieve data from the database (Vendor Code 6550)
    When I launch the other reports, they only ask me for the username and password then they display the proper data.
    The main difference between my other reports and the two that are returning the above failure code is that the other reports are to either tables or views. The two that don't work are tied to stored procedures. I there any way that I can solve this problem or at least get more information?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need any other information.

    I have a similar problem, the only difference is that the crystal report error is only thrown when I try to load the sub reports at my web application. When I deploy my report to the Web application the main report loads up fine but when I try to launch the sub reports from the main report it can no longer load.
    But when I use the Crystal report developer I am able to load the main report and it's associated sub reports without any issues.
    My issue only occurs when I try to load the sub report in the web application. The following sections shows how my reports look like both in my .NET web application and also at the Crystal Report Development IDE.
    Failure: Loading my Reports from .NET Web Application
    1) When I load from the web application I am able to load the main report as per the print screen below.
    2) When I try to click on the hyper links to enter the sub reports I am now able to load them, both sub reports cannot load and will throw the same error "

  • Crystal Reports - Failed to retrieve data from the database

    Hi There,
    I'm hoping that somebody can help me.
    I've developed a crystal report from a stored procedure which I wrote. I can execute the stored procedure within SQL Server and within the Crystal Reports designer without any errors. Furthermore, I have imported the report into sap and can run it within SAP from the server without any errors. SAP version 8.81 PL5
    The issue is that when it's run from a client machine, I get the following error: "Failed to retrieve data from the database. Details: Database Vendor Code: 156. Error in the File RCR10010 {tempfile location}
    Here's a list of things which I have tried, all to no avail:
    - Checked user permissions to ensure that they have proper authorizations
    - Re-set the datasource connection and re-imported the report to SAP.
    - Exported the report and reviewed the datasource connection and re-imported to SAP.
    - Tried to run the report on multiple machines to ensure that it's not machine specific
    - Tried to run the report using different users to ensure it's not user specific.
    - Tested other reports built from stored procedures on client machines to ensure that they work.
    Any assistance in this would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thank you

    After further testing, we found that the report could be run within SAP on any work station which had the CR designer installed on it.
    As it turns out, the procedure which I wrote has temp tables in it.  The runtimes built into the SAP client install do not support creating temp tables when executing the report from within SAP.  Which is why the report could not retreive data.
    To work around this, I installed external runtimes which were the same version of the Crystal Report and now the report can be run within SAP from any workstation which has the external runtimes (and not just the runtimes within the SAP client).
    I hope this makes sense.

  • Failed to retrieve data from the database crystal reports 2008 in SAP  B1

    Hello friends,
                 I am using Crystal report 2008 with SAP B1 PL 8.8. When I run any report,  it runs correctly from Crystal Report. But whenever I try to open the same report through SAP ( Tools -> Preview External Crystal Report ), it prompts the parameters for that report and then open up the crystal report window and throws an Error message ("failed to retrieve data from the database. Details [Database Vendor Code: 156]").
               Please any one suggest me the corrective solution.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Keyur Raval.

    I had the same problem in SAP B1 2007. Report worked fine except when it was open from B1. Generally there may be different problems. In my case the same problem was caused by using some procedure which was in a specific schema. Changing the schema into "dbo" solved the problem.

    I am trying to join information from two related web services within CR XI. I have successfully set up the web services as data sources have been able to get to the point where I get good data back. However, when I try to pull in certain fields, I get an error that says "Failed to retrieve data from the database/invalid argument provided". Here's the scenario:
    The web services are structured as follows:Web Service 1 (Artist) has attributes of Artist Name and Date of Birth.Web Service 2 (CD) has attributes of CD Title and Release Date. Underneath each CD are songs, each of which have a Song Title and Artist Name.
    I have defined both web services and defined a link between Artist.Artist Name and CD/Song.Artist Name. I am able to run a report with Song Title and Date of Birth that crosses web services. I am able to run another report with Song Title and CD Title that crosses the different levels in the second web service. However, if I add CD Title to the first report or Date of Birth to the second (both of which effectively force CR to employ the link between the two web services AND the CD/Song hierarchical structure in the second web service, I get the aforementioned error.
    Any assistance understanding how multiple web services can be linked in this manner would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure about your exact situation, but having similar problem with another application and have tracked down to security. Added user to group Domain Admin and it works fine. It appears to be accessing a subdirectory which it does not have permission to use and then times out and returns the "invalid....". Seems that once the query just over a certain size (and I'm not sure what triggers this) it needs to make use of temparory file disk, intead of ram.
    I'm still trying to track down which temporary it's trying to uses - so if you have any ques.
    cheers

    Hi,
    Are all your data in the View or each time you run a query it update the View? Please try to update your View then run the Report again, much better if you delete the original View and replace with a new one,
