SAP IDM reporting

I have raised this topic before, but thought I would revisit it now that IDM is becoming more common.
What do you do for Reporting ? SAP IDM is delivered with minimal reporting options and the answer is 'Use Crystal', but with all the instances of IDM installed by members of this forum, there must be a view on reporting requirements in the real world.
Is there a way of sharing the Crystal RPT files via the forum so that we can all benefit and have some useful IDM reporting rather then re-invent the wheel and everyone developing their own ?
Standard reports could include ;
User Setup at particular date / time ( useful for backtracking changes)
Users for a Role / Privilege
Audit reports by user or role or privilege or administrator login
Reports showing Roles / Parent Roles and their inherited permissions
Anyone think of other reports that you would see as "required" for ongoing care and feeding of a production IDM system ?
Thanks
Phil

Thanks for that. I have gone through the document and there are indeed some wonderful SQL and a reporting example.
But I guess I was more hoping for more then 1 generic 'out of the box reports' with IDM, or failing this, some examples from forum members on how they actually succeeded in getting reports out from IDM using Crystal
Our IDM instance is in production, linked with HCM and working well for over 2000 SAP users. Love the product, but having trouble finding time to play with reports rather then refining the HCM integration and source of truth analysis that such a product is now highlighting.

Reconciliation reports in SAP IDM

Hello
I am working on IDM 7.2 SP8 configuration and so far its going good and was able to configured scenerios.
I wanted some reports (Reconcillation report) and saw some blog where its advised to install SAP IDM RDS solution, I am just wondering how can I adopt that solution since I am already on 7.2 SP8 and configure my tool with client required customization.
I checked that RDS solution is avaialble for IDM 7.2 SP4.
Is there any way I can find reconcillation report MCC File so I can upload and use ?
Thanks & Regards
Deepak Gupta

Thanks Matt / Peter
Do you mean that I can download the RDS Soultion from market place and then only upload the Reconicillation report to my current SP8 version and that would work fine ?
Does the downloads will have *.MCC files for reconcillation report which can be directly uploaded ?
Thanks & Regards

SAP BI reports on mobile devices

Hi experts
We need have some business intelligence (SAP BI) reports and metrics on our mobile devices (BlackBerry, Iphone, Ipad). For example: The mobile'users should enter a product ID and the report show the metrics relate with it availables in SAP BI.
We have BusinessObject products and we know about BOBJ tools to design our solution to mobile devices.
Can we use BO Mobile and BO Explorer simultaneously to show the reports on Blackberry and Mac Devices?
With BOBJ tools can we do a interactive report (to enter product key) ?
Thanks for your help.
Osmy

Hi Osmy,
With the latest BI4.0, you will be able to use BI Reports on Blackberry (and nokia) devices (this was also available in XI3.x releases) . There is no iphone support yet - which maybe coming shortly in later releases.
As for Explorer, i* apps are already available - but not for blackberry as far as i know
You may already be able to run interactive (prompted) reports on blackberry. Below is a link on design best practices for reports on mobile

Unable to change language for SAP BW Report Iview

Dear all
We are currently rolling out BW Web Templates can be displayed in both EN and MS languages. The language can be changed via the URL that we display, e.g.
For English Language:
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
For Malay Language :
http://<hostname>:<port>/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=7&cmd=ldoc&template_id=ZTEST
We have published these templates into Ent. Portal 6 using SAP BW Report Iview, but unfortunately we cannot view the report in the Malay language (SAP-LANGUAGE=7), even though we have inserted the command SAP-LANGUAGE=7 in the SAP BW Report Iview query string. All the reports, although defaulted to SAP-LANGUAGE=7 displays in English. We also tried to set the language settings for the Iview, but there are no language 7 or MS in the Iview. It can only be defaulted to the Portals language, which is English.
Note that the reports can be viewed in the different languages if we using the URL separately outside of Portal, and also within BW Bex Analyzer itself. Only the Portal doesnt allow us to view the reports in MS language.
Can someone help us on this matter? All helps really appreciated. Thanks a lot.

Hi Chris,
That's a bit odd indeed. If I understand your question correctly, you do get the BW reports in the correct language (either English or Malay) using the url's in your post but not when using them within a standard BW report iView?
The language setting for the iView has, unfortunately, nothing to do with the language for the content itself but can you tell me what the requested URL is for both Reports?
The BW Report iView is based on the Application Integration Component that generates the URL based on the paramaters you provide in the BW report iView.The following template is being used: <iView[PORTAl_URL]>?System=<System[url_Encode]>&Report=<Report>&DynamicParameter=<DynamicParameter[url_Encode]>. I could be that the generation of the URL fails due to the 7 (don't know why, just a gut feeling because it's the only thing that's different between those urls). You could try to use create an iView based on the Application Integrator instead (some more control over the URL template) but first you need to check whether the URL generated by the iView is correct.
Cheers!

Issue with SAP BW Report Iview

Hi,
The issue stands with the context menu(right click menu)
I have created a BI Query and generated a BW Report with the Web Designer Wizard.
When I run the generated URL it is working fine, with the context menu also working perfectly.
However when I use that report in SAP BW Report Iview, the report gets opened perfectly but the context menu is taking me to a new page with those options.
As of now i do not know of any setting for context menu specially.
If anyone can help me or if anyone has encountered this error before, pl. let me know the solution.

Atul -- i am running into simillar issue. Please let me know if you found a solution for this.
Hi all -
When i create a BW Report iView 7.x in EP 6.0, the second level context menu doesn't appear for the template. Please let me know if this can be fixed.

Difference: SAP BW Report iview - Query iView - URL iView

Hi,
I want to show BW reports on the portal. Can anybody suggest me the different ways of doing it ? And also let me know about checklist of steps that need to be performed.
Can anybody tell me the difference between showing BW reports through URL iviews, showing reports through Query iView and showing reports through SAP BW Report iView ?
Which one can i use for showing BW reports taking into consideration the implementation of SSO between the two? I tried the URL iView (using the Web URL of reports generated by BW) but it asks for Username/password. Is that the problem with SSO. How can i check if SSO parameters have been set or not. I have imported the verify.der to BW System and added that to ACL. Is there anything else which is required?
Thanks in advance.
Rgds,
MA

Hi Manoj,
I feel BW report iview will solve your problem. You can create a query sting in BW query designer and give the same in BW query string text area while creating BW report iview.
In the case of an url iview you are just giving a URL link of the BW report (this will ask for username/password).
But, in the case of a BW report iview you can view the required query as an iview (user mapping can be successfully done in this case) You should give fully qualified domain name in Was server option while creating the system.
While using the logon ticket Login id of both the system (ie BW and Portal) should be the same.
Refer the link for SSO using logon ticket)

Need help to display geo-characteristics on a map in SAP BW report

Hello all,
Currently I am struggling to display plants on a map of Germany in a SAP BW report, using dynamic geo-characteristics in SAP BW. We do not have the ESRI software ArcView (my superior does not want to buy it), so I have to be successful without it.
The actual situation now is as follows: For the map of Germany I use shape g_stat00.shp. In g_stat00.dbf in column SAPBWKEY there are the values DE/01, DE/02 DE/16. SAP-help tells me that 0POSTCD_GIS is used as attribute for the dynamic geo-characteristic plant. In the master data table of 0POSTCD_GIS the following data is present: ZIP-code, geographical longitude and latitude. To correctly display the map of Germany in a SAP BW report I include the characteristic 0COUNTRY in the rows of my query. Well, I see this map in my report.
But the following problems remain and I have no clue how to proceed:
- I do not see the individual states of Germany on the map, just the federal republic in total. What must I do to see the individual states?
- How can the plants of our company be displayed on the map? As soon as I include 0PLANT together with 0COUNTRY in my query I do not see the map any more!
SAP helpt tells me in the context of interactions with maps that the following preliminaries must be fulfilled: In the HTML code of the web template the following lines of code must be adapted to individual system requirements:
Example:
<param name=IMAGEMAP_PATTERN value=FILTER_VAL>
<param name=INFLUENCED_DP_1 value=Revenue Cockpit>.
What do these parameters mean??? What values are required here?
Thanks a lot for any helpful comments!

SAP BW Report iView problem

Hi,
Im trying to create a SAP BW Report iView with a BEx URL, but Im getting an error:
Session Management will not work! Please check the DSM log file for details.
When I use the wizard (for SAP BW Report iView), it asks me to fill out the web application string. Here I pasted in the URL. I left the application parameters blank.
The BEx URL:
http://<hostname>/sap/bw/BEx?sap-language=DA&bsplanguage=DA&CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=WEB_TRAFIK_STARTSIDE
The BW call works fine in the browser and with a URL iView!?
EP 6.0 / WAS 6.40 / BW 3.5
Thanks
Joachim

you should be using BW Report iView.
and when you create BW Report iView pass the following for the querystring parameter
CMD=LDOC&TEMPLATE_ID=WEB_TRAFIK_STARTSIDE
for this to work, in the system definition WAS host , was path and was protocol should be maintained

Raja
