Run a BW Report(Query) from R/3

Hi All,
Is there really a way to run a BW Report report from R/3? I have come across a lot of articles explaining ways to convert an R/3 report to BW and so on. But have never heard about doing it vice-versa.
My scenario, to be exact, is to run a BW report from R/3 as a scheduled background job.
Please share what you all know.
Thanks,
Mahesh M.S.

Thank you very much for your valuable help, i checked your suggestion and looks great. But i need to pass 3 parameters from an ABAP to the wad query report.
How can i pass the parameters to the web template???
another issue: My WAS (Web Application Server 6.20) is not public, is currently working for a local area network.
The access to this report is from outside of the office, so we need to access this through the PORTAL.

Problem to run the Crystal report inside from SAP B1 based on SQL views.

Hello,
I have a problem to run my Crystal report inside from SAP B1 which is based on SQL views.And the SQL views are stored in a separate database in SQL server.The error which i am getting is saying the the tablename does not exist.What i need to do in order to sort this problem.
Great if somebody can help me to sort out this so that i can run my report based on SQL views stored on separate database other than SAP databases inside from SAP B1.

Try using a SQL synonym in your company database for the views outside the company database. I don't know if SBO will let you get away with it, but its worth a shot.
If your company database is MyCompany and you have a view called MyView in Views database, assuming the view belongs to schema dbo, and you want the synonym to belong to dbo schema in your company database, run this:
Use MyCompany
go
create synonym dbo.OutsiderView for
Views.dbo.MyView
go
select * from OutsiderView
The select statement should return the contents of MyView in the Views database while you are connected to your MyCompany database.
For more info, see the Books Online for MSSQL on topic synonym.
You will need to change your CR options to include displaying synonyms along with tables, views, etc. You may also need to grant select to B1 users.

What is the best practice for running a long report/query against an active database?

We are using SQL Server 2012 EE but currently do not have the option to run queries on a R/O mirror though that is my long term goal. I am concerned I may still run into the below issue in that scenario as well since the mirror would also be updating data I
am querying.
I have a view that joins across several tables from two databases and is used by an invoicing program on existing data. Three of these tables are also actively updated by ongoing transactions. Running a report that used this view did not use to be a problem
but now our database is getting larger and we have run into some timeout problems for the live transactions coming in.
First the report query was timing out so I set command timeout to 0 and reran the query which pegged all 4 CPUs 100% for 90 minutes and so I finally killed it. Strangely there were no problems with active transactions during that time so I'm wondering if the
query was really running doing anything useful or somehow spinning and waiting. I reviewed the view and found a field I was joining on that was not indexed so created an index on that field, reran the report, which then finished in three minutes and all the
CPUs were busy but not at all pegged out. Same data queried both times. I figured problem solved. Of course later, my boss ran a similar invoice report, with the same amount of data, and our live transactions started timing out 100% while his query was running.
I did not get a chance to see the CPU usage during that time.
I looked at the execution plan of the underlying view and added the suggested index but that did not help. When I run the just the view at SQL Server it does not seem to cause any problems and finished in a couple seconds. Perhaps something else going on in
the reporting tool using the view.
My main question is - Given I have to use the live and active database, what is the proper way to run a long R/O query/report so that active transactions can still continue to update
tables that I am querying? sp_who2 did show transactions being blocked so I guess a long query accessing the tables blocks live transactions accessing those same tables, but certainly I'm not the only one doing this. I
am considering adding "with (nolock)" but am hoping there is a better standard practice as that clause can return dirty data and I understand why. Thx, Dave
Thanks, Dave
Dave

Hello
You can change the DB isolation level to Read uncommitted
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378149(v=sql.110).aspx
or use WITH (NOLOCK)
I do use NOLOCK option for the dirty reads to avoid locks on the tables

How do I reference columns in a report query from another report query?

In Apex 3.1 it is possible to generate a report on more than one query. I have read that these queries can be correlated, but I cannot find how in the documentation.
I go the Shared Components and create a new Report Query:
select * from dept
Then I click Add Query and I add:
select * from emp
How do I correlate these two queries (I want to join emp.deptno to dept.deptno) and have a nice hierarchicle XML-file.
Is it possible in Apex 3.1?
Dik Dral

Dik,
This type of query can't be build. The two queries are independent, you can't reference values in the first query from the second query. However you can reference page and application items - which won't help you all that much with this scenario though. You could also try combining the two queries into one, and then take care of the proper presentation in your template.

Marc

Running an arbitrary User Query from a menu

Hello all,
Is it possible in SBO2007 to create a custom menu that would run a user query, analogously to:
Reports -> Financials -> Accounting -> Locate Journal Transaction by Amount Range?
Thanks in advance,
Anton

Edward Neveux:
Beyond that if you want to physically add something to the Main Menu > Modules tab ... you would need to use the SDK.
With SDK I can only think of the following:
1) Creata a menu
2) In the event handler access the desired query by menu UID from Tools > Queries -> ..., and
3) Call the Click() method of that menu.
Isn't there an easier (more automatic) way?
Thanks in advance,
Anton

Change Reports query from Form

Hi,
Can I use PL/SQL in a Form to modify or add to the Report's query in runtime?
i.e
If a Text Item in a form was left blank in then I would like to modify the WHERE clause
in the Report to remove one of the parameter defined.
in Report's query
WHERE a.myfield >= :p_1 and a.myfield <= :p_2
become
WHERE a.myfield >= :p_1
if the Text Item in form (for p_2) was left blank.
Any help would be greatful.
Many Thanks,
Buntoro

Hi,
you can use lexical parameter to do this thing
It's better if you change your query to
select * from emp where &where_clause
here,
where_clause is a parameter with some default value. U must give some default value to it.
ans then pass this parameter from form..
hope it will help you...

Running a crystal reports viewer from forms

Greetings,
I am using Oracle Forms 10g!!
I have a form that is used to invoke a crystal report viewer using the HOST command. The viewer has the ability to pass in a id and password. When I try to run it I get:
Logon failed.
Details: IM003:Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 998 (Oracle in Oracle_HOME)
The report runs fine otherwise.

When I click the button I receive:
Logon failed.
Details: IM003:Specified driver could not be loaded due to system error 998 (Oracle in Oracle_HOME)
If I change the trigger text to:

(From the CMD window) 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I would rather not use a .bat file, if possible.

2. While running the BEx report/query in Bex Analyzer, I'm getting ERROR in entering the parameters, its NOT allowing / giving me option to select the parameters, for example for 0COSTCENTER, it is NOT displaying list costcenters to select before I can RUN that particular report.
3. How can I trouble shoot ERRORs related to BEx and Portal connectivity.
4. How would I setup the Variants for a Bex query/report ? Are these Variants for per user basis / per report basis. Can I have each variant for particular users OR all users must select their own variant each time when they RUN the report ?
Thanks, Sorry I have asked multiple questions, in jst one thread.

Function Returning SQL in BI Publisher Report Query

I have a report that is based on a SQL Query (PL/SQL Function body returning SQL query). The code is below. I am now trying to create a PDF version of the report using BI Publisher in APEX. When I try to build the Report Query shared component I get a syntax error when entering this code. Does anyone know if it is possible to create a Report Query from a SQL Query (PL/SQL Function body returning SQL query) and if so, how?
v_sql varchar2(4000);
begin
select apexim.exec_summ_bymonth_sql ('D', :p260_time_frame, 12, nvl(:p260_population_sel, 'All'), nvl(:p260_region_sel, 'All'), nvl(:p260_oper_state_sel, 'All'))
into v_sql
from dual;
return(v_sql);
end;.

Thanks for the suggestion Simon.
I just created a view based on the 46-column SELECT statement from dual above and then set "SELECT * FROM myview" as the Source Query.
Unfortunately I get exactly the same error.
Thanks,
Andy

It is possible to execute a SQL query from OMBPlus?

We have some simple SQL scripts we'd like to be able to incorporate into our existing TCL scripts, instead of having to run them outside of OMBPlus in sqlplus. Is is possible to run a SQL SELECT query from OMBPlus and/or TCL? And get a result set back to iterate through?
Thanks,
Jim C.

You can execute SQLPlus from OMB or just get down and use JDBC to execute the SQL, see others posts on forum such as below;

Hi Ingo,
- the BI Query in the Test system is running correct and all the variables do work ?
     Yes, BI Query is working fine in the Test System and I can see all the variables too
In BI Query I can see values for Calendar Year, Version, Profit Center, Profit Center Hierarchy
- the Universe has all the variables ?
Yes, Universe has all the variables.
- do you see values in the Web Intelligence prompts when you run the report ?
   No,
   I can only see values for the Calendar Year & Version in the Web Intelligence Prompt.
When I try to see values for the Profit Center & Profit Center Hierarchy in the Web Intelligence Prompt, its showing below error.

Run SBO report directly from SDK

Hi, is there a way to run an SBO report (for example Service Contracts) directly from SDK? The report should be given the necessary parameters too.
I know that i can call Service Contracts form, simulate a query to find the appropriate record and then simulate a click on print preview button. This way it will undoubtedly work.
But I would prefer opening the print preview directly, without the need of opening another form, that slows down the whole process. Is there a way to do this?

Tamas,
There is currently not an object via the SDK to directly run a report. You would have to use the work around that you mentioned.
