Saving Report to excel for Infoview User

We are using Business Objects 6.5 and we have quite a lot infoview users. As we know Infoview users do not have privilege to save report as excel so is it possible to make Infoview users save reports as excel?
NOTE : We dont want to upgrade them as Webi Users.
Thanks in Advance,
Santosh.

Simple test, login into infoview as general supervisor, open full client report and see if you can export or save as to Excel.
If you can - then it's rights issue, if you can't - try with latest Service Pack for 6.5. I think it's Sp4 but I might be wrong.
If you can't do this using general supervisor and in latest version of 6.5 - you're out of luck.
What are you even doing being still on 6.5 ??

Saved Interactive reports options display for all users

Hello,
For now I build once again my apex apllications in Apex 4.0
I created a user. In the apex administration this user is not an administrator and not a developper either.
However the saved interactive report options display for him too, so he can choose the look of the default report, etc...
Is that a bug ?? Or did I forget something ?
Thanks !
Fanny

Fanny, as long as you are logged in as a developer in apex you will be able to save the report as the standard report, no matter with what user you are logged into your application.

Saving report to Excel to include and show lower nodes values

We have a cost center spending report that's written in Report Painter. Users execute the report using a cost center group. In the report, they can navigate to the different variations of the report to see the data for Total cost center group or data for individual cost center within that group or subnodes within that group.
They would like to be able to save this report to Excel, but with all the subgroups and individual cost center data shows up in different tabs of the Excel file.    And they would like to do this with just one single command.   So, when they do 'Save > Local File > spreadsheet", they want to have all the data in that one single file.
If anybody knows how to do this, I would appreciate it.   Points will be awarded.   Thank you.

Hi -
Thank you for the response but it does not resolve our problem.   The above method does not bring the data of all the subsequent nodes.     The requirement is to have all the subnodes saved into Excel as separate tabs.    For example, they run the report for Cost center group A which has 2 subgroups under it (subgroup A1 and subgroup A2).   Under A1, there are cost centers 12000 and 22000.   Under A2, there are cost center 13000 and 23000.
When they run the report for cost center group A, and the "Navigation" is on, the grouping above will be shown and within that report, they can navigate to see the data for Group A, or data for Subgroup A1, or data for cost center 12000, etc.   They would like to download all these information into Excel as separate tabs.   So, data for Group A should show in the Excel file in tab 1. Data for Subgroup A1 should show in tab 2. Data for Cost center 12000 should show in tab 3, etc.
thanks.

How to enable detail view interactive report as default for public user?

Hello all,
I'm currently developing a search results page.
I'm trying to do a nice view instead of a default table like view from the interactive reports. So in this case i enabled the detail view so i could make fancy designs.
all worked well and looked neat but however when i pass value from my search page using IR_ROWFILTER and clear the results page using page_no,RIR, it brings me to the interactive reports result page with the default table like view.
i have to press the detail view to get it. i tried saving it as default but it wont work. this issue is for public user.
if i make the page requires authentication, and save the detail view as default i would not have any problem. i could search and it will straightly bring to the detail view of the search page.
of course the other reason i found is because im using the IR_ROWFILTER and clearing page using page_no,RIR..without it,it works well but i need it coz im doing a a search result. i need to send search text from another page and put it in the filter in the search page. i would need to use RIR to clear it for searching again.
is this a limitation for public user? it doesnt happened for authenticated user though..
how can i make this view as default for public user?

Flip the report into Detail view on page load using an Page Load dynamic action with the following Execute JavaScript Code true action:
gReport.data.view('DETAIL');

Do you really need this to be an IR? Other than the detail layout, do you require any of the interactive features? If not, try using a standard report with a custom report template.

Saving report in excel format

I need to save a report directly to excel format. The user does not want to open a delimited file in excel. After a lot of trials I got excel.prt file which supposedly saves the report in excel format directly from the PRINT TO FILE option.
But I am still getting the option to save the file as text only, not in excel.
Required help urgently as the report is important to the client

We run reports using utl_http and then save the output as a blob. After that, we print the blob but before hand, we do this:
owa_util.mime_header('application/vnd.ms-excel', false);
htp.p('content-disposition: filename='||v_rec.filename||'.xls');
owa_util.http_header_close;
This sets the filename correctly and forces the browser to use Excel to handle the file.

OBIEE Report keeps running for some users

Hi Mates,
I am facing a issue, while running the report.
This reports keeps on running and expires after the max time out for few of the users whereas for few users it displays the output in 30 secs or so.
Just to add in Oracle Identity Management has been setup security.
Tried looking into the log files but couldn't find something related.
OBIEE Version - 11.1.1.5
Database version - 11.1.2
Regards
Gyan

You need to verify the sqls fired for both users and its data level security, you may be pulling more data for few users.
Also, try running the sql query in Toad or some other tool and compare the performance.

One or more hierachies in one report which differs for each user

Hi BI Gurus,
Can we have more than one hierarchy in one report which enables different hierarchy for diff user.
The requirement is like this.
We have almost 10 hierarchies..
Each user is restricted to view a particular hierarchy only.
Is this possible ....Its very urgent..
Pls help out
Thks in advance,
Mahi

If you have a variabel at the beginning letting the user choose from his/her available hierarchies this should not be a problem on the reportside. As long as they is connected to the same info-object.
How to restrict the users to different hierarchies is another question.
Hope this helps

Any way to create a simple report selection menu for end user?

Hello. We purchased two full versions of Crystal Reports 2008, version 12.3.1.684. One copy is for me, where I create reports and the second copy is for an end user who runs them. I would like to create a basic menu so when he starts his copy of Crystal Reports it will open with this simple report menu. Is there a way to do this?

I would suggest you invest in small viewer tools for your user. The viewers can house the reports you create and your user can view them without accidently affecting the design structure of your report. With some viewers, you can even customize the report menu. You can begin with this website:

Saving AVL view settings for all users

Hi,
I am working on web dynpro abap application which shows alv results of more reports (you will select report and it will show the alv table result).
I have to use some standard reports for this, so I copied it to Z report and modify it so this is possible. Problem I have is that is standard report the output have maybe 10 columns, but the table I got from the report has maybe 26. I want to limit shown columns on the ALV with settings of view for alv, but the assignment is only possible for the user.
Is there any way how to create one view settings and make it initial for all users?
I know there is a way of modifying the standard view via abap code, but I want to keep the possibility to show all fields if required.
Thanks for your help very much.
Martin

Hi,
another problem, I was expecting the newly created variant / layout / settings for view would be tied to the displayed table (which sounds kind of wired as I wrote it down).
But since I am displaying different tables in the same UI element and binding the tables and their structures dynamically the created variant applies to all of the tables (or thats how it seems) so the table which have all fields different then the layout shows nothing.
Do you have any ideas how to get around it?
My idea would be to store the layout (but i have no idea how it looks at db level) and identification of the report to some customer table and fill attribute of alv table dynamically according to used report. But thats just my idea, I have no idea if it si possible to do it like this.
Is there some other way how to accomplish this functionality?
I have also tried to do it on fieldcatalog level of the alv table, but it seems to show first, let's say, 8 fields if there is 8 fields in the fieldcatalog.
Any help or ideas please??
Thanks
Martin

Report in Excel for large rows - issue

Developer suite 9iAS with Oracle 9.2.0.4 ,Linux
While generating in the excel format if the no of records exceeds more than 600 then the report server is not working.
In Excel format the alignment is not equivalent to HTML or PDF format
HTML format is primarily for view in the screen, If the user takes printout then it is not having the proper page break as it can not be controlled through programme.
Record grouping is not possible in excel format.
Have anybody solved these issues? Please suggest

hello,
9.0.4 does not have an excel output format. which output format (HTML, HTMLCSS, DELIMITED, DELIMITEDDATA, ...) are you using to produced the output for excel.
when you say printout ... what output format does your app send to reports ? what do you mean by "no proper page breaks|" ?
thanks,
ph.

Automated reporting on dataloads for end-users

Dear forumers,
we are on BI 70
we are looking for a way to provide our endusers with a report/query, whichs shows the status of dataloads in each cube.
On forums I have found some tips on using the table RSREQDONE. Based on requests in this table, one should be able to provide a list with the number of records, start/stop times. When you create an infoSetQuery on this, it can give you some data.
But we load based on Process Chains, and we want to show the success or failure of each process chain, and show the date/time when this was completed. And we use DTP's for some of our loads, so no InfoPackages overall.
BTW: the technical status in a query on a multiProvider is not very helpfull, as this only shows the oldest data load from all underlying infoproviders; when one is a History cube which is updated once in the past, no usefull data here shown...
has someone looked into this as well? does someone have some tips, advice pointers for getting such a end-user usable query on data status?
-Jaap

You can build a query based on cube 0TCT_MC12. This will give you a status per process chain:
green yellow or red.
So in the query you put the process chain, date & the status.

LiveCycle Designer 7 : Saving the PDF form for the users ?

Hi,
When building a form, which will be filled by users, is there any way that the users can be offered the possibility to save their data within the PDF so that they can send the complete form by emails or through a other files exchange media (FTP, WEB, Flashdisk... )
Although having the possibility to sent only the XML data via email (which is great and we would like to keep this option) we fear that some of our users, which are filling the form, might not feel confident with this and might want to sent their completed form too ?
Thanks for your answer
Eric B

I was able to make this work for the first time yesterday. Assuming that you have Abobe Acrobat 8.0, once you have built the form...using adobe 8 go to the Advanced menu and select "Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader". The first time that I did this, and then attached the form to a user of reader - they were not able to save the completed form. So - I went to 'Forms' on the menu and selected "distribute form". Then the user of adobe was able to saved that form and changes that they made.
The distribute function wants you to email from there as a default. I had trouble because our default mail client is Novell. Still can't get that to work right. BUT - you can distribute the form and save it to your drive for distribution later. I then attached it to an email and sent it out to users.
Be sure to walk your end user through - using save as and saving it to their computer. My folks are used to NOT being able to do that so they still said they couldn't save the completed form.
Sorry if this explanation is very basic - but I am not at all a programmer! :) This is what worked for me. I spent hours on this site yesterday trying to work out the email piece and stumbled into this solution.
Good luck!
