Schedule webi report to destination to Inbox AND send email notification

I'm writing a new process that will schedule a webi report. The output of the report needs to be delivered to multiple user's BO Inboxes AND an email notification (without the report attached) needs to be sent telling them that they have a new report to view in their Inbox. Trying to mimic how this is done via CMC Schedule - Notification and Destination tabs.
I can get it to deliver the report to the Inbox and I can get it to send an email seperately, but the problem I'm running into is that I can't get it to do both in the same process. Here is the code snippet that I've written. Any assistance would be appreciated.
// Retrieve the managed plugin
IInfoObjects managedInfoObjects = infoStore.query("Select SI_DEST_SCHEDULEOPTIONS, SI_PROGID From CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS Where SI_NAME = 'CrystalEnterprise.Managed'");
IInfoObject infoObject = (IInfoObject)managedInfoObjects.get(0);
IDestinationPlugin destinationPlugin = (IDestinationPlugin)infoObject;
IManaged managed = (IManaged)destinationPlugin;
// Set the destination to inbox
IManagedOptions managedOptions = (IManagedOptions)managed.getScheduleOptions();
managedOptions.setDestinationOption(IManagedOptions.CeDestinationOption.ceInbox);
managedOptions.setSendOption(IManagedOptions.CeManagedSendOption.ceCopy);
managedOptions.setIncludeInstance(true);
managedOptions.getDestinations().add(new Integer(ditUserID1));
managedOptions.getDestinations().add(new Integer(ditUserID2));
managedOptions.getDestinations().add(new Integer(ditUserID3));
scheduleInfo.getDestination().setFromPlugin(managed);
// Retrieve the smtp plugin. to send email notification
IInfoObjects smtpInfoObjects = infoStore.query("Select SI_DEST_SCHEDULEOPTIONS, SI_PROGID From CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS Where SI_PARENTID = 29 AND SI_NAME = 'CrystalEnterprise.Smtp'");
IInfoObject smtpInfoObject = (IInfoObject)smtpInfoObjects.get(0);
IDestinationPlugin smtpDestinationPlugin = (IDestinationPlugin)smtpInfoObject;
// Set to email notification on success
ISMTP smtp = (ISMTP)smtpDestinationPlugin;
ISMTPOptions smtpOptions = (ISMTPOptions)smtp.getScheduleOptions();
smtpOptions.setServerName("mailhost.XXXXX.net");
smtpOptions.setPort(25);
smtpOptions.setDomainName("XXXXX.com");
smtpOptions.setSenderAddress("XXXXX.com");
smtpOptions.setSubject("Indicative Data Update Reports");
smtpOptions.getToAddresses().add("XXXXX.com");
smtpOptions.setMessage("Test Message");
smtpOptions.setSMTPAuthenticationType(CeSMTPAuthentication.NONE);
scheduleInfo.getNotifications().getDestinationsOnFailure().add("New");
scheduleInfo.getDestination().setFromPlugin(smtp);

One thing to keep in mind is that "scheduling to SMTP" is different from "scheduling with email notification", and it looks like you're conflating the two. The ISchedulingInfo.getDestinations() is the access point for scheduling to SMTP and ISchedulingINfo.getNotifications() is the access point for scheduling with Notification.
> scheduleInfo.getNotifications().getDestinationsOnFailure().add("New");
You'd add the SI_PROGID of the SMTP Destination here, and work with the returned IDestination to set the destination parameters.

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Chanaka

Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1.     New Report
2.     From Create New Connection-> XML
3.     Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4.     Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
        CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
     CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

Characteristic details belonging to Order line 5
How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

Scheduling WebI reports for Dynamic Date Ranges

Hello Everyone,
Our Env is BOBJ XI 3.1 SP2 FP2.5 integrated with SAP NW BW 7.02 EPH1
We are trying to schedule few WebI reports which can be used on ad-hoc basis as well. Some reports need to get data from starting of the month to today (like MTD) and few are with dynamic date ranges.
In case of relational universes i used to do Magic Date as mentioned here : http://www.dagira.com/2008/07/21/using-a-magic-date-value-in-prompts
But for OLAP Universes i have written a MDX filter prompt as :
<FILTER KEY= "@Select(Debit Memo Date\Debit Memo Date LOV)">
<CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION= "Between">
<CONSTANT CAPTION= "IIF (@Prompt('Enter\Select DM Start Date: ','D','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',mono,free,not_persistent,{'First Day of Month'},,User:0)='First Day of Month','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',@Prompt('Enter\Select DM Start Date: ','D','First day of Current Month\First day of Current Month',mono,free,not_persistent,{'First Day of Month'},,User:0))"/>
<CONSTANT CAPTION= "IIF (@Prompt('Enter\Select DM End Date: ','D','Date2\Today',mono,free,not_persistent,{'Today'},,User:0) > '1/1/2100 12:00:00 AM',''1/1/2010 12:00:00 AM'',(@Prompt('Enter\Select DM End Date: ','D','Date2\Today',mono,free,not_persistent,{'Today'},,User:0))"/>
</CONDITION>
</FILTER>
We are getting MDX erros because IIF can only return numeric values. So are there any other approaches for dynamically scheduling the reports or can the above MDX prompt be modified to make it work ?

Ingo,
When we schedule the WEBI report we use the BEX query with a variable based on a customer Exit .
There are good examples in
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/profile/Surendra+Reddy
In order to avoid providing a hard coded date restriction in the BEX query we want to have a flexible date range solution (e.g. data from 1.1.2011 until yesterday).
Is the folloing scenario possible:
Scheduled webi report with a hard coded date e.g. 1.1.1900 (for the BEX variable)
The BEX query should return the data from 1.1.2011 until yesterday (dynamically) if date = 1.1.1900
else it should return the data (for the e.g. adhoc reporting)
Is a customer exit like this possible ?
Pseudo code:
IF date = 1.1.900 then return sysdate-1 else return entered date
For a relational universe I always used a magic date condition

Want to schedule WebI report for End date of Prior Month

Hello Experts,
We have WebI report created on top of Bex Query, We have key date as prompt for the report. Can we schedule the webi report for key date as last date of prior month, so if current month is February, my key date should be Jan 30 2011. I am not sure if this is possible?
Thanks,
Ravi

You need to apply two FM to get the end day of the month.
First you need to apply FM MONTHS_PLUS_DETERMINE. This will give you the date after 3 months.
            CALL FUNCTION 'MONTH_PLUS_DETERMINE'
              EXPORTING
                MONTHS        = 3   " << for 3 months
                OLDDATE       = l_start_Date   " << 12/01/2007
             IMPORTING
               NEWDATE       = l_3_Date. " << 02/01/2008
Then call the FM RP_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS . this will give you the end date of the month
CALL FUNCTION 'RP_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS'
    EXPORTING
      day_in            = l_3_Date " << 02/01/2008
    IMPORTING
      last_day_of_month = l_3_Date " < 02/29/2008
    EXCEPTIONS
      day_in_no_date    = 1
      OTHERS            = 2.
Call both FMs again to get your another date(after 4 months).

SQL Server 2008 R2 - Report Builder 3.0 - timeout using shared data source and stored procedure

I select the shared datasource from the data source propeties dialog, test the connection and everything is good.
I add a dataset by selecting "use a dataset embedded in my report" option within the Dataset properties dialog.
I select the newly added data source, click the "Stored procedure" query type and drop down the list box and select my intended stored procedure.
the timeout for the dataset is "0" seconds.
I click the "OK" button and I'm presented with the parameters to the stored procedure.
I enter valid data for the parameters and click the "OK" button.
I then get the following error message after 30 seconds:
The problem is, all of the timeouts, that I'm aware of, have values of zero (no timeout) or high enough values that 30 seconds isn't even close to the timeout.
I think the smallest timeout we have is 120 seconds.
I have searched this site and many others and the solutions all involve altering the stored procedure to get the fields into report builder and then revert the stored procedure back to its original form.
To me, this is NOT a solution.
I have too many stored procedures that need to be brought into Report Builder.
I need a real solution.
Thank you for you time, Tim Caldwell.
Timothy E Caldwell

I don't mean to be rude, but really, check to see if the stored procedure can return data rows???
Maybe I'm not being clear enough.
The stored procedure runs perfectly fine.
it runs perfectly fine in the production environment and the test environment.
I can access the stored procedure in several ways and have it return correct data.
I can even trick report builder into creating a dataset with parameters and run the stored procedure that way.
What I cannot do, is to get report builder to not timeout after 30 seconds on the initial creation of a dataset with a Query type of stored procedure.
I have seen this issues posted again and again and again on may different sites and the "solution" is to simplifiy the stored procedure by creating a stored procedure that has a create table and a select in the stored procedure and that's it. After
report builder creates the dataset the developer then has to replace the simplified stored procedure with the actual stored procedure and everything works fine after that.
HOWEVER, having to go through this process for 70 or more stored procedures is ridiculous.
It would appear that there is something within report builder itself that is causing this issue.
The SQL Script included is an example of a stored procedure that will not create fields create a dataset with fields and parameters in Report Builder 3.0:

Reporting Services: XML Data Source and Parameters

I’ve created an XML service (asmx) in ASP.Net that I want to use as a data source for an SQL Reporting Services report. The report and service work just fine if I use a Method from the service that does not have parameters. However, if I use a Method that
needs a parameter, the query/report fails. My investigation makes it seem that the parameter is not getting passed to the Method at all. (The parameter is a DateTime and it always ends up uninitialized and the WebMethod throws an exception.)
I’ve exhausted all my TechNet resources and Googled this excessively. It would seem that I am doing this correctly, based on all the examples I’ve seen, but I still can’t get it to work.
I've done a lot of different permutations, but this is where I’m at right now.
(Note: I've changed the Web Method's parameter to be a String instead of a DateTime. I did this as part of my trial-and-error process. Once I get this figured I'll return it to a DateTime.)
I'm trying to include everything here that will help you help me (see attached image). I had to obfuscate a few things (not sure if that is necessary).
See attached image:
Created Shared Data Source in SQL Report Services
Create Report Parameter (matching Web Method parameter)
Created a data set in Report Builder (with Query, and parameter - matching Web Method parameter)
Query in Data Source
<Query>
<Method Name="GetDueDateAging" Namespace="http://zzz.com/vvv">
<Parameters>
<Parameter Name="cutoffDate">
<DefaultValue></DefaultValue>
</Parameter>
</Parameters>
</Method>
<SoapAction>http://zzz.com/vvv/GetDueDateAging</SoapAction>
<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">*</ElementPath>
</Query>
This is where I needed the most help, and I don't totally understand it. But again, the parameter-less Method worked. I've tried adding different things in the <DefaultValue> tag (like @cuttoffDate and constant values), with no success.
WebMethod Code
[WebMethod]
public List<AgingInvoice> GetDueDateAging(string cutoffDate)
DateTime cd = DateTime.MinValue;
if (!DateTime.TryParse(cutoffDate, out cd))
cd = DateTime.Now;
Shared.DueDateAging aging = new Shared.DueDateAging();
return aging.GetDueDateAging(cd, Settings.Default.ConnectionString);
I've looked at every online resource that I could find, but I'm striking out right now. Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Derrick,
In your case, please refer to the following method to troubleshooting this problem:
We can use Fiddler2 to monitor the HTTP post, and check whether the parameter is being sent. The Fiddler tool can helps us debug web applications by capturing network traffic between the Internet and test computers. If the parameter is being sent, please
debug the web service to ensure the method has values return.

Error (WIS 10901) while creating a webi report against SAP data source

Hi,
While creating a webi report against a universe created using Infocube/Bex query (basically SAP data source) get a error message -
A database error occured. The database error text is: A runtime exception has occured. (License key check failed. Check that you are licensed to access SAP data sources). (WIS 10901).
Any clues whether this is a license issue or something else?
Thanks,

I am having the same problem. I checked and double checked everything, including deleting and recreating the Universe and the Connection. No improvement. On a whim, I deleted the hierarchy from the query on which the Universe was based, and recreated the Universe on the query without the hierarchy. The problem went away.
Now, the question is, why do I get the WIS 10901 error when a hierarchy is present in the query/Universe?

How to schedule webi report using OLAP Universe

Hi all,
I am using the webi report which is based on BW query or cube.
I want to schedule the webi report which should get refreshed automatically.
how to set the date parameter for that webi report at universe or report level.
or shall i should create a variable at bw side i.e., (sysdate -1) and tht variable should i use in the report or any idea..
i am using BOE 3.1 SP3
Integration Kit SP3
BW 7.1
Thanks & Regards,
Ravi Sarma
Edited by: Ravi Sarma on Dec 6, 2011 6:09 PM

Hi,
it won't be at "report-level" . those local variables are formulae used for formatting, not for user inputs / responses.
Easiest is to use the SAP KEYDATE variable in the BEx query.
This SAPVAR will come through as a WebI prompt like any other, and has a default value of sysdate (if not answered differently)
As for the Scheduling mechanism, this is the same as always - done in Infoview / BILaunchPad - select the webi instance, and click Schedule .

Schedule Webi report using RESTful API

We are using BO 4.0 (SP2) and looking to schedule reports using our intranet application. I have searched for APIs avaialble and was able to find RESTful API for SP4 but not SP2. How can we do it in BI 4.0, SP2?
Quick help will be really appreciated.
Thanks

you can schedule Webi documents with prompts using the following:
URL: http://<servername>:6405/biprws/raylight/v1/documents/<docid>/schedules
Method:POST
Request Body:
<schedule>
<name>Enter values for City:</name>
<format type="webi"/>
<destination>
<inbox/>
</destination>
<once retriesAllowed="2" retryIntervalInSeconds="60">
<startdate>2013-08-26T15:58:51.000+02:00</startdate>
<enddate>2013-08-27T15:58:51.000+02:00</enddate>
</once>
<parameters>
<parameter optional="false" type="prompt" dpId="DP0">
<id>0</id>
<technicalName>Enter values for City:</technicalName>
<answer constrained="false" type="Text">
<values>
<value>Austin</value>
</values>
</answer>
</parameter>
</parameters>
</schedule>
Using the above request you can schedule the Webi document with prompts to inbox destination and set for once. The schedule can be sent in different formats to several destinations and set just for once, daily,
hourly or monthly.
BUT, its broken if you want to schedule a weekly report (Calendar Date) with prompts in BI 4.1 and SDK has been deprecated.

Using different data source and connection name

Hi,
We have a requirement where the data source for our application is already configured on the server by name like MyDBDataSource. But the database connection name in our application is like My_DB. So application module is using data source name like My_DBDS. If i change data source name in application module configuration manually to be MyDBDataSource, then it fails at runtime. This has been identified as bug as mentioned in this post
http://andrejusb.blogspot.in/2009/01/practical-adf-security-deployment-on.html
Is this still valid? I am using 11.1.1.6 version. Also want to know if there is any workaround for this ? If i change the name in web.xml at deployment time using script, will it work ?
Thanks

Hi Ami,
Is your issue get solved ?
I would like to mention few things about the database connection in application & data source in Weblogic.
1. When you create a database connection in Application (for example say connection name as hr) then in the Application Module Database Configurations in the bc4j.xcfg File Custom JDBCDataSource will be set as <Custom JDBCDataSource="java:comp/env/jdbc/hrDS"/> for both ApplnModule shared & Local. So when you create data source in weblogic it is better to create the JNDI Name like jdbc/hrDS ( ie between the '/' and 'DS' you have to specify the name of database connection you created in the application ).What ever the Data source name is no matter.
2.If you change the JNDI name of data source later like jdbc/hrconnectionDS then it is better to delete the old hr connection from application and recreate a connection as hrconnection. After that you have to edit bc4j.xcfg file in the Application Module--> Configurations and set Custom JDBCDataSource as below for both local & shared config.
<Custom JDBCDataSource="java:comp/env/jdbc/hrconnectionDS"/>
I hope this will help you.

Even with parameters, reports reading entire data source and then filtering

I'm working with an Oracle database (read-only access) and Crystal Reports 2008. I have created a report and added three parameters for which I have already done all necessary steps in the select expert. But when I do a Print preview of the report, and after selecting the parameter values, the report tries to read all of the data source records before the parameters are utilized by the report. In other words, if the data source has 100,000 records, the report will return (in the background) all 100,000 records and then filter among these returned records to present/display the data according to the provided parameter values. Instead, I would like it to use the parameters first so that only those records that meet the parameter value criteria are read into the report from the "get go"...Since I only have read only access to the Oracle database, I cannot write a stored procedure either...(company policy)...Can parameters be used to read in only pertaining records instead of filtering already read in records in a given report? Is there some syntax that can be entered into a Command type connection to do this?

I've tried that but I'm now getting an error on line 6...
Crystal Reports Error:

UCCX 10 CUIC Custom Report (using external data source)

Hi.
We have a customer where we are storing information in an external data source. We would like to built a report and import that report into their UCCX CUIC System in order for the customer to have the new report along side with the UCCX built-in reports. We need to add the external data source to CUIC but I'm not sure if the strip CUIC version of UCCX can allow that. Is that possible?
I know that with CUIC Premium we can add third party data sources into the CUIC. The Premium CUIC NFR allows that and we can create the report but for it to work in UCCX we need to add the external data source to CUIC.
What are my options? If any?
Thanks in advanced,
-Jose

Hi Jose,
You can basically build custom reports on a standalone CUIC server and import them to the CUIC on UCCX.
But I am not sure if this datasource is continuously polling information from the DB and giving it to the report and if this is possible.
Please refer to the link below for creating the custom reports on CUIC in UCCX:

Can Tivoli (TWS) be used for scheduling WebI reports in BO XI 3.1?

I am trying to figure out if it is possible to schedule WebI reports to refresh using TWS?
We are using BO XI 3.1 SP2 deployed on unix and would like to use TWS to refresh WebI reports that are built on SAP BW Bex queries. Does anyone have any experience scheduling WebI reports using TWS with XI 3.1? Any information you can provide would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Derek

Hi
I can think of two options:
1) You define in BO CMC external events and schedule your reports to wait for them. In the TWS you can schedule an OS script to create the file that triggers the BO external event. The reports will run only after the file is created.
2) You write a java program that uses the BOBJ SDK in order to schedule immediately your reports. In the TWS you create a scedule that starts the java program. (You can find examples how to use the SDK here http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/samples )
