Scheduling a Report to save in different network location through FTP

Hi Folks,
We have a requirement in our project to save a scheduled report to a network folder location other than BI server.(client specified machine).
we have a VB script which we are invoking through actions in Agents which saves the report in the same BI server but we didn't find any code for this specific requirement.
Need inputs if anyone have similar code/suggestions.
Thanks In Advance.

David, I would suggest you go to my blog and download the BIPublisherIDE. This can be slapped into any application very easily.

You will want to use the delivery manager api's, I would suggest you look at one of the test beds in the project I started but didn't finish. See XMLPublisherDelivery.java

How do I save to a networked location in Firefox for Linux?

I have a a few laptops with 16 and 20 gig hard drives that I'm more or less trying to use as thin clients. All personal files are stored on a Windows 2008 server.
When users attempt to save files with Firefox, their preferred browser, they report that they are unable to save to a network location as they cant find anything in the save window pertaining to Network or Samba, so they are unable to find the server, and have to save files to the almost full hard drives, then copy the files to the server by dragging and dropping. there has to be a way to save files directly without having to drag and drop the files by hand.

Firefox may be trying to copy the access permissions from the temp folder that is initially used when the download is started to the destination location on the network drive and fails to do that.
In that case you will have to copy the files yourself to that drive after you've saved the files locally.

How do I set up different network locations with different wifi?

I am having an issue setting up different network locations with different wifi profiles on each. I want to do this to enable fast switching of wireless networks. In my house I have two wireless networks, my own personal one and one that is created by using a wifi modem supplied by my company. If I use the company wifi network then I can get into all my work applications without having to enable VPN access separately. It is also faster. However, they also block many applications including sending email from my personal email account, dropbox, etc. So throughout the day I need to switch wireless networks back and forth.
I was looking for a faster way to switch and thought I would try network locations. Was able to set up a new network location without issue. However it seems that whatever wireless preferences, changes, or wifi network order I put into my "Work" location it carries over to my other location which is the standard "Automatic".
What I would like it to have my "Work" location only to be able to connect to my work wifi and my other network (Automatic) to just connect to my home wifi only. That way I can enable faster wifi switching and can even use my launcher program (Alfred) to provide shortcuts.
Anyway to do this?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Just thought I would bump this up in the conversation. Doing a further search I came across this discussion which is similar: Connecting to a wireless network via applescript?
However, I tried to build the Automator application as discussed and cannot get it to work. Very much a novice at Applescript and Shell Script but have created customized Automator services before. All I get now is "Shell Script command encountered an error". No more detail. I copied and pasted the script as shown in the email thread. Is there any other line or command I need to place in front of it?
Thanks again for any help

Error Scheduling Crystal Report to save to Unmanaged Disk destination

When trying to schedule a Crystal Report to save to an "Unmanaged Disk" destination using the "Plain Text" format, and using the "Run Now" option, I receive the following error message "Error Message: Invalid export options.

Hi Karla,
do you have any service packs installed on your BOBJ server? Does your destination folder reside on a network drive?

Scheduling a report with output (excel) to file location

Able to schedule a webi report and output format to excel and destination to file location.
Report is running at scheduled time/interval and writing the output excel file onto file location on BO server. The issue is, its creating the file extension in uppercase (ex: testfile.XLS). Is there a way to control the file extension to be lowercase.
Also tried to force "testfile.xls" (with extension in lowercase) in the instance title of report scheduler but still creating extension with uppercase (ex: testfile.XLS).
Any pointers ??
Environment - BO XIR3.1

Hi,
I believe you can do this by switching the view to Excel and turning off the use job server defaults. You can then enter the name and extension as well as the destination folder.

OBIEE11g - Schedule Multiple Reports

Hi All,
I have been successfully able to schedule my analysis and my dashboards with OBIEE11g Agents.
Now, I have a set of 100 critical reports that I have to schedule. Is there a way to create one agent having these 100 reports?
How do I schedule 100 reports without creating 100 different agents ?
Any suggestions/advice will be highly appreciated.
Thanks n Regards

Hi Swastik,
You would need to have a lookup on a table that had currency conversion values, then have an additional table that contains the username and country that they are in. You would then need to bring the country into a session variable via an initialisation block and then filter your report/lookup based on that.
Hope that helps,
Chris

How to schedule multiple reports with different local to change static field language ?

Hi all,

problem is that ,on server it is not working properly,we tested for one report .if we pass prompt value to change local setting in report the we need to log off and login again in CMC to reflect new local or on BI Launchpad we need to refresh page then it shows new language.
How we can do this with multiple scheduled report which will have different local value like en-GB,en-US,Chinese,German....?These schedule request are getting placed in server by one user .
Please help us with sample code.
Thanks

Hi,
The only approach I can think of is to create a template report which uses variables
For each column you would need to variable
v_columnAName and v_columnAValue
v_columnAName would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";NameOf([firstName]);if([client]="clientB";NameOf([SSN]);NameOf([lastName]));
v_columnA would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";[firstName];if([client]="clientB";[SSN],[lastName]));
This would only work when you had a small set of clients.
This might be more managable if it was done in the universe

How to Save Background job report out put in local / Network Drive?

Hello Techies,
How to Save Background job report out put in local / Network Drive.
Actually we have option to send mail aftr complete but i need to save in local drive or network drive .

Hi ,
Background job runs in application server , and your local /network drive is basically presentation server. So you cant save it in local /network drive from the job itself. But to download files, you can write the files to the application server using DATASET, in the background and then use the transaction CG3Y in the foreground to download the file.

Scheduled discoverer report giving error

Hi All,
I am facing a problem where in I have scheduled a report. The table populated after scheduling is fetching data but when we try to open the scheduled report it gives an error ' Inconsistent datatype expected number got date '.
We are using a function in the report which fetches a date colomn and return type of that date used is Varchar(2). We also tried using the return type as date but same error comes.
An early response will be highly appriciated.

i have similar problem - i have some calculated columns in the report.....when i schedule it the values in one column are getting populated in the other column.....if i run the report manually i did not have any problem.
i had a small calculation for a column (date)....user wanted to see it in a different format in the report.....
already that column was existing in the folder but in a different format......but upon users request i just put up a small calculation for that...........
i scheduled the report and ironically only that calculated column (date) was getting populated wrong........so i pulled the normal date column from the folder..........and now i have two columns for date (1-calculated, 2 - from folder)..........1st column is anyhow getting populated wrong....but the 2nd column was pretty good........
many of you might know....."*IDLE MAN'S BRAIN IS A DEVILS WORKSHOP*"....
i formatted the 1st column with white color and kept the background color also as white......so that when the user opens the scheduled report.....he will see only a blank white column for the 1st column............i told him to export it to excel and then delete that blank column and save your excel output..
i know this is the worst solution or idea anyone can get.........but i had to do it.

Background Scheduling Z Report

Hi,
I have developed one report , it can output its result in alv report and excel file, So my requirement is to schedule the report and in background only email the report to the specified email id's. How can I achieve functionality of background scheduling and automatic email.
I know we can do background scheduling with SA38 or SM36/SM37 but upon scheduling it is not saving my excel file at desired location.

You should search forums about this....
You will need to save to the SAP Application server (in a folder which has write permission for SAP jobs) and possibly FTP to some shared drive within the network. Local PC, local MS network, like C:\, D:\, etc. is not visible to a background job, since there is NO GUI/PRESENTATION server involved in a background job. Outside of MS Office, an .XLS file is an unknown file type, probably.... how do you think you're creating a .XLS file in a background SAP job?

Scheduled DeskI report gets error SetPrompts failed (80004005).

Hello
I have a DeskI report which I can refresh without any problem but when that report is scheduled I always get the error SetPrompts failed (80004005).
The user that the report is scheduled by is the Administrator (who I can also refresh the report without problem).
I have tried to delete the Universe and export it again as Administrator, changed the report and exported again as Administrator.
My system is BO XI 3.1 SP 3.1 FP 3.2 Enterprise server.
Has anyone had this problem and found some solution?
Best regards,
Hjortur.

I seen similar issue when we migrated reports and universe from 6.5 to XI R2. If it is a old report, report prompts might have got corrupted, delete the prompts in the report and save the report to corporate folder. Import the report and add the prompts what ever you needed and test it.
If above scenario doesn't work try this work flow
1. Delete the report from your local folders in your system
2. Delete the universe from your local folder in your system
3. Import the report and delete the prompts, save the report and export to different test folder.
4. Import the report from test folder and add what ever prompts you needed and once again export to test folder and test the schedule...if the report is working fine in test folder, delete master report from prod folder and export the modified report to PROD folders.
Let me know the results.
Thanks
