SCCM report/query w/ multiple subcollections

I am responsible for multiple work centers for SCCM. For part of my job I need to pull reports for patches that show who has and does not have specific patches or updates. Currently I have to run the same report multiple times to gather
the data. I know I could consolidate the collections but that would not allow me to show the work centers the problems I need them to fix for manual remediation. I could really use some help with a custom report.
example layout
company(upper collection)
analytics (sub collection)
security (sub collection)
helpdesk (sub collection)
I need a report that will show me not only the standard installed /required data but also the subcollection that machine is in.
Can I run a report against the upper collection and either drill down into the sub collections or at least have it show the sub collection name so I can task out work needed?
machine name analytics

what do you have so far? you indicated you run the same report multiple times. Can you post what that one is? It might be (sort of) easy to modify to include details about specific collection memberships--but in order to do that we'll
have to see what you have so far.

SCCM report query that displays count of cpus per host and if host is physical or virtual

Hello,
I have this query that displays the count of CPUs per host. How can I add a column to show if the host a physical or virtual?
SELECT
DISTINCT(CPU.SystemName0) AS [System Name],
CPU.Manufacturer0 AS Manufacturer,
CPU.Name0 AS Name,
COUNT(CPU.ResourceID) AS [Number of CPUs],
CPU.NumberOfCores0 AS [Number of Cores per CPU],

CPU.Manufacturer0,
CPU.Name0,
CPU.NumberOfCores0,

I see that you have posted this exact question in another forum for CM12, however this is an CM07 forum.
Are you CM07 or CM12?
If you are CM12, use my answer here.

If you are CM07, this is NOT a simple how exactly do you detect that a computer is a VM? You can guess by looking at the manufacturer name but it is only a guess.

Report query with multiple selects

On some of my Report Queries (that have multiple selects) it sometimes changes the rowset when I edit the specific SQL.
For example, I have 2 selects in my Report Query andnd when I download the XML my first select’s data goes into <ROWSET1> and my second select’s data goes into <ROWSET2>. I then make my template and everything is good.
But, sometimes when I edit the SQL in the report it changes the ROWSET number of the data so now my first select’s data in ROWSET2. This blows up the report. Is this a bug? Why is it switching the rowsets back and forth?

I'm referring to the Report queries under shared components.
My first query is like this:
select A.emp_id
from tab1 AC4, tab2 AC3, tab3 AC2, tab4 AC1, tab5 A
where A.year = :page_year
and C.FK_SCHOOL IN (SELECT c001
FROM apex_collections AC1
WHERE AC1.collection_name = 'SIS_REPORTS_SCHOOLS')
and nvl(C.ACTIVE,'NONE') IN (SELECT decode(c001,'NONE',nvl(C.ACTIVE,'NONE'),C001)
FROM apex_collections AC2
WHERE AC2.collection_name = 'SIS_REPORTS_ACTIVES')
and nvl(C5.CALENDAR_NO,'NONE') IN (SELECT decode(c001,'NONE',nvl(C5.CALENDAR_NO,'NONE'),C001)
FROM apex_collections AC3
WHERE AC3.collection_name = 'SIS_REPORTS_SCHOOL_CALENDAR_NOS')
and nvl(C10.CLUSTER_CODE,'NONE') IN (SELECT decode(c001,'NONE',nvl(C10.CLUSTER_CODE,'NONE'),C001)
FROM apex_collections AC4
WHERE AC4.collection_name = 'SIS_REPORTS_CLUSTER_CODES')
My second query needs to select the detail info from other tables, but I only want to do it for the (master) records that were returned in the first query.

How to pass an array or structure, in addition to a query, or multiple queries to the Report Builder as parameters

Is there a way to pass an array or structure for example as parameters, in addition to a query, or multiple queries to the Report Builder in CF8? I believe this was recommended by users to be in CF8.

BrianO,
Although it's been a while, I thought I'd provide the code to do this for you. It works for me in CF8, and probably will in CF7.
Here I create a structure called My, and provide that one parameter to my CFReportParam tag.
<CFSet My = {
Client = "Client Name",
ReportDateFrom = DateFormat(ThisStartDate, DateMask),
ReportDateTo = DateFormat(ThisEndDate, DateMask),
PageHeaderImage = ImagePath & "\Logos\Page_Header.png",
WatermarkImage = ImagePath & "\Logos\Watermark.png",
GetBarSummary = GetBarSummary,
GetPieSummary = GetPieSummary
}>
<CFReport Template="#ReportPath#\SpendSummary.cfr" Format="PDF" Query="GetSummary">
<CFReportParam Name="My" Value="#My#">
</CFReport>
Inside the report itself, reference the given parameter as Param.My.PageHeaderImage for example. It can be referenced that way from any expression inside the report builder. You can even use the queries as the data source for charts (using the Data From a Query -> Query Builder -> Advanced) by entering "Param.My.GetPieSummary" where it says "Variable containing query object".

Performance issues when creating a Report / Query in Discoverer

Hi forum,
Hope you are can help, it involves a performance issues when creating a Report / Query.
I have a Discoverer Report that currently takes less than 5 seconds to run. After I add a condition to bring back Batch Status that = Posted we cancelled the query after reaching 20 minutes as this is way too long. If I remove the condition the query time goes back to less than 5 seconds.
Please see attached the SQL Inspector Plan:

Is there anything i can do in Discoverer Desktop / Administration to avoid this problem.
Many thanks,

Hi Rod,
I've tried the condition (Batch Status||'' = 'Posted') as you suggested, but the qeury time is still over 20 mins. To test i changed it to (Batch Status||'' = 'Unposted') and the query was returned within seconds again.
Ive been doing some more digging and have found the database view that is linked to the Journal Batches folder. See below.
I think the problem is with the column using DECODE. When querying the column in TOAD the value of P is returned. But in discoverer the condition is done on the value Posted. Im not too sure how DECODE works, but think this could be the causing some sort of issue with Full Table Scans. How do we get around this?

Scheduled Report - Bug with Multiple Selection LOV parameter

Problem:
I have a scheduled report with a parameter that has it's "Multiple Selection" checkbox checked. I schedule the report with multiple values selected. When I receive the report via email, the report ran as if I only selected one LOV value instead of multiple values.
Facts:
1) Enterprise version 10.1.3.2.1
2) When you run the report manually with multiple values selected in the LOV, it runs great with the correct dataset.
3) This scheduled report does not have a Data Template.
James
P.S. - I searched this forum for other treads on this issue. I didn't find any. Sorry if this is a duplicate.

I have this same problem, too.
When I select multiple parameters on the "View" screen for a given report, everything works fine.
When I schedule it, however, only the last parameter I clicked on (regardless of whether a select a range or multiple individual values) is passed to the query. The other selections I make are ignored.
What gives? Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?

Report Query - XML data source empty

Hello!
I built a report query, using the wizard, under Shared Components and when I test the query using bind variables I get the correct data, but as I click Apply Changes and get to the screen where it gives me the option to Download the data source for the report layout, the file is empty. I've repeated the steps multiple times, each time getting correct data when testing the query, yet nothing in my xml file.
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thank you.

Hello! Thank you for responding!
I actually am having problems on the "Report Queries" section under "Shared Components"...my query doesn't return any data when I try to download/open the xml file. Once I'm able to get this fixed, I'll be able to open my report on the page that has the branch.

SCCM report to show last logged on user and the Active Directory department attribute of that user.

You problem is here.

join v_R_User USR on USR.ResourceID
= CS.ResourceID
USR.ResourceID != CS.ResourceID, you need to map the username to the user logon to the PC. By using the user’s department information you will
end up with unreliable results.
Anyways you need to make these changes to your query.

Doubt in Firing Query with multiple opportunities UUID/IDs

HI Folks!
I might have simple doubt but please help me on this!
1. I have a custom BO with association to opportunities.
[DeploymentUnit(CustomerRelationshipManagement)] businessobject Sy_Trade {
[AlternativeKey] [Label("Trade Id")] element tradeid : BusinessTransactionDocumentID;
node RelatedOpportunities [0,n]{
                              element BusinessTransactionDocumentReference : BusinessTransactionDocumentReference;
                              element BusinessTransactionDocumentRelationshipRoleCode : BusinessTransactionDocumentRelationshipRoleCode;
                               association RelatedOpportunity[0,1] to Opportunity;
2. I have success fully used association and i am able to view create all the opportunities related to my custom Bo.
ISSUE : I want a facet where i just want DISPLAY the activities and sales document assigned in the RELATED OPPORTUNITIES ( N opportunities )
How do i query with Multiple opportunities ID and fetch the activities against it?
Btw I want to use query in UI Designer... I have created an advanced list pane and there i want the result list
I hope i am clear!
Thanks in adavance...
Regards
Dhruvin

Hi Ludger,
I have successfully displayed Related Opportunities associated with trade.( i am able to create , delete also )
Issue : I am not able to "Display" ( i don't need to edit or create ) all the activities created against all the opportunities in a different tab.
I tried to approaches :
1: Query : Created a Query on Activity BO and tried to pass multiple related opportunities ( but seems not possible , please tell me any possibility to pass range of opportunity via transformation or anything? )
2 : binding : I have a Node Related Opportunity so just tried to bind it with BO model but problem is it is displaying all the activities of first opportunity of the list...
i think why because :
In Data model I have created a table bind with Related Opportunities...
now that node is 1 to N , association to opportunity 0 to 1 , hence i think it fetches only 1 opportunities activity
should i create like below ( Or is it possible)
Node Reltdoppts[0,1]
association [0,N] to opportunity BO ?
Although i strongly feel SAP should provied us two things :
1. We need to pass range of opportunities in a query.
2. We need to just write some absl code where i can fill the table and display it
and also is there any possibility to create a report or something to display activities as we just want to display the activities!
P.S : I have been getting a lot of bashing from client because some of the product restriction in cloud! i hope and wish SAP give developers free hand to develop right now its like our hands are tied to many things

SCCM Custom Query

Hello,
I am looking for a 2007 SCCM custom query that will look for KB2964358 installed. My trouble lies when I specify the below query to see if an update is installed, and it only returns XP computers since it is looking for the ADD Remove Programs feature.
ConfigMgr is not collecting the list of Software Updates (patches) for Window 7/Vista/ 2008/ 2008 Core operating systems. Because, on these operating systems this information is stored
in “Win32_QuickFixEngineering” WMI class (it’s not listed in Add Remove Programs) and the inventory of this class is NOT enabled in SMS_DEF.MOF (by def ault). Hence ConfigMgr. report won’t be able to provide these details unless and until you’ve enabled
the appropriate WMI class in SMS_DEF.MOF. Is there any other way to look for an update installed in custom queries that will return Windows 7 machines as well?
SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS on SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.ResourceID
= SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_G_System_ADD_REMOVE_PROGRAMS.DisplayName like "%KB2964358%"

Hi,
take a look at the article below to extend the SMS_DEF.mof file to include the WMI class.

Shared Components APEX Report Query and Layout

Does anyone know how to call the report query and layout from the Shared components section from a page within the application?

mtbdude40 wrote:
What I need is this: The ability to create a PDF report with a custom header defining the data (example - select * from emp where deptno = :deptno and the header includes the department name).
I use this white paper as my source: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/learnmore/custom-pdf-reports-1953918.pdf
You need to build and use a Shared Resource -> Report Queries.
The Report Query will have two queries associated with it (see below).
one query will be for the header information, the other will be for the data.
use the "download" of the "xml data" as your source for Altova/other tools.
If you add/remove/change queries, You'll have to redo your report (from scratch) as that changes the XML Schema required. (at least, with my experience)
Once you get the hang of it, 2x queries is easy (Header, data)
I've experimented with 3x queries (header, master,details) but have been unsuccessful. I have some ideas though ("link" master->detail info via XPath stuff within Altova) but haven't gotten around to testing it.
If you want to run the report for multiple departments....That might require some finesse.
Unfortunately, the Source of the Queries can't be a scalar SQL that returns 1 row of 1 column of data type XMLType....

Call to predefined Report Query for PDF download does nothing

I am trying to download a PDF report which is based upon 2 queries. Each query has a where clause with values taken from page items. I have installed OBI Publisher 11.1.1.5 and used the OBI Publisher 11.1.1.5 Word plug-in to create the RTF file that I then uploaded to the Shared Components->Report Layout.
I created a new region button to call the Report Query. However, whenever I click on the button to download the PDF, nothing happens. I have looked at the debug and the button appears to be executing OK, except that nothing happens.
The APEX to OBIP configuration is working since I am able to have OBIP generate other report PDFs that aren't using the predefined query. Stated a bit differently, reports regions that have the Print Attributes set to "Enable Report Printing=Yes" and "Report Layout=Default Report Layout" work fine. Reports based upon the predefined query and launched using a region button do not do anything.
Environment: APEX 4.1, DB 11.2.0.2, OBIP 11.1.1.5
Any help with this PDF issue is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Reid

Thank you again for your reply, Udo.
Here are my responses:
* As a matter of fact, I am doing a copy / paste from the predefined query to the report region source.
** What exactly do you mean by that? Don't you print the actual region?
I need to produce a PDF that is the compilation of 4-5 queries. Therefore, I cannot print a region to PDF since APEX (as far as I know) does not allow for the printing of multiple regions (1 query per region) to a single PDF file. So, I am creating a PDF that is based upon multiple queries which I predefine in the shared components -> report queries. Then, I'm creating a region button that calls a downloadable report when it is clicked.
Your question has made me realize that indeed it doesn't matter what query I have in the report region since I am calling a predefined report. When nothing was happening when I attempted to generate the PDF, I guess I started to think that the problem was with the queries on the page and so I made them match exactly with what the queries are in the shared components->report queries.
Please advise if something is wrong with my understanding here.
I checked the OBI Publisher logs (at least what I could locate) and I didn't see anything show up there.
/u02/app/ohs/obip_mw/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/logs
I checked the OHS access_log and I didn't see anything that looks like an error. I also don't see anything in the APEX page debug. It appears to process normally when the button is clicked.

Implementing Interactive Reports Sorts in Report Query

My users love how the Interactive Reports work, especially being able to choose their sort fields. I have an Report Query that can use multiple sorts and many sort fields (chose from APEX page). Is it possible to implement this type of thing in the Report Query (without using decodes or dynamic SQL).
I looked at the code being executed by Interactive Reports and can see the order by changing
select
null as apxws_row_pk,
"CODE",
"CITY_NAME",
"STATE_CODE",
"PK_ID",
count(*) over () as apxws_row_cnt
from (
select * from (
select "PK_ID",
"CODE",
"CITY_NAME",
"STATE_CODE"
from "#OWNER#"."ZIP"
) r
) r where rownum <= to_number(:APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT)
order by "CODE"

Ben, Not sure I follow.
I'm passing in the column names of the order by's from my APEX page to the DB function. Right now I'm doing a huge case statement for each one.
FUNCTION get_student_demographic (l_user in varchar2,
l_owner in varchar2,
l_report_order1 in varchar2,
l_report_order2 in varchar2,
l_report_order3 in varchar2,
l_report_order4 in varchar2,
SELECT (CASE l_report_order1
WHEN '%null%' THEN ''
WHEN 'LAST_NAME' THEN A.LAST_NAME
WHEN 'FIRST_NAME' THEN A.FIRST_NAME
..... many more
ELSE ''
END ) report_order1,

SCCM Report

Hi,
I am new to SCCM reports and all I want to find is the MAC address, System Name and System Serial Number. I need to do this by either collection or IP subnet but cannot seem to get the code correct. I have the following so far:
SELECT
a.Hardware_ID0 as [MAC Address],
a.Netbios_Name0 as [System Name],
b.serialnumber0 as [System S/No]
FROM v_r_system a,
v_gs_pc_bios b
WHERE a.ResourceID = b.ResourceID
This gets all the information required but it is for our whole estate and like i said I need to get it for a collection or IP subnet. Can someone please help?
regards
Kevin

How about below Report query: which gives you mac address and hostname list:
Select
      v_R_System.Netbios_Name0, SYS.User_Name0,
      v_RA_System_MACAddresses.MAC_Addresses0
from
    v_R_System, v_R_System SYS, v_RA_System_MACaddresses,
    v_fullcollectionmembership
where
    v_ra_system_macaddresses.resourceid=v_r_system.resourceid
    and v_fullcollectionmembership.resourceid=v_ra_system_macaddresses.resourceid
    and SYS.resourceid=v_r_system.resourceid
