Scheduling WEBI Objects with date as parameters in InfoView

Hi,
We want to know if it is possible to schedule a WEBI Report in InfoVIew passing as parameters the actual day of execution. For example, if we scheduled a report that will run every day, we will want that every instance generated containing the data of the execution date, but when we tried to schedule this execution inside the InfoView the only options that we have is to select one date or a list of dates that will be equal for every execution of the report.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.
Kind Regards

Hi,
For oracle you can use hard coded 'sysdate' or 'todays date' as a default text in the prompt and then at the back-end you have to decode it and and write the query that will return the todays system date.
Here is the format not the exact code:
Table.Date = decode(@prompt(.....),'sysdate',query that will fetch the todays date)
OR
Table.Date = @prompt(.....)
Regards,
Rohit

Hi,
I am new to this environment. I would like to try and schedule a report monthly with dates (that will change from month to month). ie first and last day of previous month. Is there an easy way of achieving this automatically?

Needed to do the same thing, with lots of different date ranges - month to date, year to date, last month, last week, fiscal year, etc. Came up with a solution that takes a bit to set-up but then is re-usable and flexible. I'll do my best to try and explain. 1) Within the universe, created a "CurrentDate" derived table that calculates various points in time (yesterday, first of the week, last of the week, first of last month, last of last month, etc.). Because the product would not let me use an unlinked table in calculations, I used a common table as the "from" in the SQL and included a common identifier so I could link the derived table to an existing table in the universe - I selected a small one with only a few records. Using Oracle here, not SQL, so you'd need to modify to use SQL date functions, and add/delete the calculations you need:select distinctcommonidentiferfield,trunc(sysdate) as CurrentDate,trunc(sysdate)-1 as Yesterday,trunc(sysdate)1 as Tomorrow,case when to_char(sysdate,'D')=2 then trunc(sysdate)-3 when to_char(sysdate,'D')=1 then trunc(sysdate)-2 else trunc(sysdate)-1 end as PriorWorkDay,case when to_char(sysdate,'D')=6 then trunc(sysdate)3 when to_char(sysdate,'D')=7 then trunc(sysdate)2 else trunc(sysdate)1 end as NextWorkDay,case when to_char(sysdate,'D')=5 then trunc(sysdate)4 when to_char(sysdate,'D')=6 then trunc(sysdate)4 else trunc(sysdate)2 end as TwoWorkDaysFromToday,trunc(sysdate,'D') as StartThisWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')6 as EndThisWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')-7 as StartLastWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')-1 as EndLastWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')7 as StartNextWeek,trunc(sysdate,'D')13 as EndNextWeek,trunc(sysdate,'MM') as FirstOfThisMonth,trunc(last_day(sysdate)) as LastOfThisMonth,trunc(last_day(add_months(sysdate,-2))1) as FirstOfLastMonth,trunc(last_day(add_months(sysdate,-1))) as LastOfLastMonth,case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate)1 else extract(year from sysdate) end as CurrentFiscalYear,to_date(concat('07/01/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate) else extract(year from sysdate)-1 end),'mm/dd/yyyy') as StartCurrentFiscalYear,to_date(concat('23:59:59 06/30/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate)+1 else extract(year from sysdate) end), 'hh24:mi:ss mm/dd/yyyy') as EndCurrentFiscalYear,case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate) else extract(year from sysdate)-1 end as LastFiscalYear,to_date(concat('07/01/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate)-1 else extract(year from sysdate)-2 end),'mm/dd/yyyy') as StartLastFiscalYear,to_date(concat('23:59:59 06/30/',case when extract(month from sysdate)>=07 then extract(year from sysdate) else extract(year from sysdate)-1 end), 'hh24:mi:ss mm/dd/yyyy') as EndLastFiscalYearfromsmallexistingtable 1a) Link the derived "CurrentDate" table to smallexistingtable using
your commonidentiferfield (at least I had to do this, though everything
parsed ok in designer, when used in a query unlinked, it screamed quite
unhappily which is why I ended up basing the query on
smallexistingtable and linking). 2) Created a "Dates" class and objects for each date in the above table, ie. "Current Date", "Yesterday", "Tomorrow", "First of last month", "Last of last month"3) Created an object called Prompt - Date Range - Start Date. This prompts the user to select the date range type they want and also allows for "custom" date ranges for on-demand reports. For scheduled reports, you just select your response as part of the scheduled instance.casewhen @Prompt('Select records for','A',{'Today','Yesterday','Tomorrow','Prior Work Day','Next Work Day','Today -

I also usually include the Prompt - Date Range - Start Date and Prompt - Date Range - End Date objects so that I can use them min(Prompt - Date Range - Start Date) and max(Prompt - Date Range - End Date) in the report header to display the actual date range selected (all the value in Prompt - Date Range - Start Date are exactly the same, I use the min to avoid multiple value errors - same for Prompt - Date Range - End Date, I use max just because logically my brain likes that better). When you refresh the query, it will ask what date range type you want, a start date and end date - used for custom ranges - you can enter any date if not selecting a custom date as it is ignored. Hope that makes sense and is helpful. It's worked really well for me. I also have an even more complicated version (imagine that!) for situations where there may be multiple dates a user can choose from, ie a posting date vs the date of service. It will ask the user which they want and in the Prompt - Date Range - Start Date, a case statement is added to handle the selection/use of different date fields.Deb

How to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts with RESTful Web Services

Hello,
I am trying to schedule Webi Documents with Prompts using RESTful Web Services with prompts. I am using Simple Rest Client app provided by Google Chrome. We have Business Objects SP6 Patch 1.
However the documentation for RESTful Web Services has only examples for the following
1. Schedule Documents without any Prompts to various destinations and recurrences.
2. Refresh Documents with Prompts.
Is there any example for scheduling documents with prompts? Please advise
Thanks in advance

Hi Peter,
With Rest Client, on BI4.0 SP6, 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.
You can also check the example for this on page 275 of SAP Webi RESTful SDK user guide for BI4.0 SP6 below:

Web service with multiple out parameters

Hi Developers,
I have been playing around with som web services in the developer studio.
I can create a webservice from a normal ejb.
But i can only get one out parameter, which is the return parameter of the ejb.
I tried to make an object to use as return parameter, but then i couldn't use the method for the web service.
Can anyone tell me how to make a web service with multiple out parameters?
Br Rasmus

Hi Developers,
I have the same question, is it possible to have multiple outgoing parameters?
When not, does SAP Netweaver knows a IN-OUT parameter? Because I found on the internet that it is possible to have a IN-OUT parameter. But that was with the BEA Weblogic 8.x.
When not, is then the only solution to return a object? With in this object all the parameters you want.
Or otherwise is there a other workaround?
Thanks in advance,
Marinus Geuze

Problem scheduling webi reports with XI3.1 pending forever

Hello,
I've got a problem scheduling webi reports with XI3.1 scheduler.
After confiming scheduling job (loggin in with "administrator" user), status remains "pending" forever(using Infoview or CMC).
I tried different job recurrence a modalities (attachment formats, destination user etc).
I also try to add (-javaArgs "Xmx900m,Xincgc,server") wich is the SAP solution found on its portal but it does not work.
I use BO XI 3.1 in Windows 2003 server, after the install I reduced the maximum memory of Java in the tomcat 5.5.2 server from 1024 to 512 because the server never started with the initial size.
Please I need Help.
thanks in advance,
Samy

Hi,
Below SAP solution found found in BOB Forum.
I applied this solution and now everything works fine !!
I just add this -javaArgs "Xmx900m,Xincgc,server" in the command line of the server
Hope this helps:

Schedule a report with passing range parameters

I have wrote a program to run the crystal report in BO server and email to the user. The program can pass the parameter to the crystal report and generate different result/ report. It works well with string parameters, int parameter and date parameter. But when I pass the date range parameters, the CR in BO always displays error "Information is needed before this report can be processed. ", and in the CR history, the Parameters field is "No Parameter"
For single parameters, I will use the setValue() of IReportParameterSingleValue to set the param value
IReportParameterSingleValue v = prompt.getCurrentValues().addSingleValue();
v.setValue(paramValueArray<i>);
but I dunno how to set the date range value. Anyone ve ideas on this?
Here is some of my sample code.
rangeValue.setBeginValue(dateValue1);
rangeValue.setEndValue(dateValue1);
rangeValue.getEndValue());
rangeValue.setLowerBoundType(RangeValueBoundType.inclusive);
rangeValue.setUpperBoundType(RangeValueBoundType.inclusive);
newParam.getCurrentValues().add(rangeValue);

I am not sure if you are using RAS or Enterprise SDK, but here are some code snippets to set range report parameters:
For scheduling:
// oReport is IReport object holding the crystal report.
oReportParameter = oReport.getReportParameters().get(i);
currentRangeValue = oReportParameter.getCurrentValues().addRangeValue();
currentRangeValue.getFromValue().setValue(dateParameter);
currentRangeValue.getToValue().setValue(dateParameter);
For viewing:
ParameterFieldRangeValue pfrv = new ParameterFieldRangeValue();
pfrv.setBeginValue(dateTimeValue);
pfrv.setEndValue(dateTimeValue1);
pfrv.setLowerBoundType(RangeValueBoundType.inclusive);
pfrv.setUpperBoundType(RangeValueBoundType.inclusive);
pf.getCurrentValues().add(pfrv);
f.add(pf);
f is Fields object and pass that to viewer.

Unable to schedule webi report with Test user

Hi All,
I get the below error when i try to schedule a WEBI report with user id.
I can schedule with my developer id.
Error Message: Sorry, you do not have the right to 'Edit objects' (ID: 6) for 'sudes_errors' (ID: 45941). Please contact your administrator if you require this right.
Any inputs greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Error clearly showing that, Test user need access rights defined @ CMC.
Contact BO admin, to assign Schedule/Full control rights for that Test user.
Thank You!!

Scheduling WEBI reports with API

Is it possible to schedule a WEBI report with an external API?
Explanation: our customers can view their data on our internet site. We want to show a list of reports where they can subscribe. For example: report X with parameter Y each monday morning in Excel format to mailadress Z.
This subscribtion is stored in our Oracle database. The database sends an API to the BO enterprise server. BO schedules and sends the report to the customer.
Regards,
Emiel

Hi
What is the API ? Is it a Text file ? if so then you can schedule the reports based on an event in BO .

Prashant

Searching Web Apps with Data Source fields containing multiple values

I have a Web App with a field allowing multiple values to be entered similar to the checkbox list. I need to restrict allowed values to a large, finite list of values currently stored in another Web App as the data source. I can't apply the Data Source field type as that only allows single value selection. I also need to be able to use the Web App Search form to search for items containing 1 OR more values in this field (the search functionality of a checklist field type). Here's what I've tried for field types:
Text (string) or Text (multiline) field type - By saving a list of comma separated values (the same way that checkbox list outputs) to a text input or textarea, the search logic only searches for exact string (including commas) and doesn't parse the individual values.
List (checkbox list) field type - This allows me to search multiple values using OR logic, but the web app will only store values that have been entered as options in the actual web app field setup. I tried using a checkbox list with minimal or empty options hoping that whatever values I sent over in a comma separated string value would still get stored, but because the values came from my Web App data source and not the list of options stored with the field, they were not saved.
Has anyone found a way to do this?
My other question is about how I might use a similar multi-value field as described above but return search results containing items with ALL selected values for that field (AND logic).
Can anyone enlighten me to the inner workings of BC web app search logic?

Thanks Robert.
You'll need to create your own interface to the webapp database for those kind of data operations
by this, are you speaking of the internal BC database which stores web app schema data? That would be great if it were possible to update that programmatically because I need to use the List (Checkbox List) field type (for the search functionality), but I need to supply the checkbox options from a web app rather than by manually updating the list entered in the Fields view of the web app settings (shown below).
I'm curious if anyone else has tried this?
Again, my reason for needing to use the List (Checkbox List) field type is that the page which processes searches knows to expect a comma separated list for this field type and then appears to be parsing out the individual values for searching out web app items with 1 or more matching values. You're right that text fields (string and multiline) just check for 'string contains' matches, and this would be ok if I was only ever needing to search just one value at a time. Here's an example of what I might do:
Web App item field value (as recorded against the List (Checkbox List) field type:
8294877,8294878
Web App Search value (for this same field):
8294879,8294877,8294885
The search would return this web app item because the field contains 2 (1 or more) individual values even though they were entered into the search field in a different order. If this web app item were just a Text (string or multiline) field, the searched value is not a substring of the web app item's stored value, so it would not find a match. Hence the need to use Checkbox List field type.
The web app will have thousands if not 10s of thousands of records, so dumping them all into one big array or object and searching on the front-end won't be practical (though it works great on smaller datasets).

Crystal Report with standard Input-Parameters in InfoView

Hi there,
i've created a crystal report which has non-optional input parameters, e.g, Date from ... Date to ...
I've managed to fill this parameter with standard parameters if the user does not choose a value. e.g. date is today - 14 days.
If i start the report in crystal and do not enter a input-parameter, it gets it input parameer automatically, see:
(if not hasvalue({?PARA_TA_von}) then ({PW_BO_HU_TA.LTAP-WDATU}>=CurrentDate-14) else ({PW_BO_HU_TA.LTAP-WDATU}>={?PARA_TA_von}))
It works perfectly in crystal. But if i start the Report in Webintelligence Infoview, it doesn't work and i get the message to enter the input-parameters....
Any idea ?
Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi Ingo,
I have tried the sample reports and other crystal reports created with data sources other than SAP which all work fine. The problem happens on all clients and the server when running reports with SAP data source.
I did find an error in the Tomcat logs.
[/SAP].[jsp] Thread [http-8080-Processor24]; Servlet.service() for servlet jsp threw exception
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/crystaldecisions/Utilities/LengthLimitedDataInputStream
I did manage to run one report which had 4 records but the other reports which vary from 432 - 2500 records return the error found in the tomcat logs.
I will be installing BOE XI 3.1 on my desktop to see if the still issue occurs in this release.
Thanks and Regards,
Paul.

SQLException Calling Stored Procedure with Date OUT Parameters

Hi,
I'm trying to call a stored procedure in Oracle 10.1.0.4 using JDBC driver version 10.1.0.5. Here is the Stored procedure I'm trying to call:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE get_collector_segment_info (
cid IN eb_collector_segment_iot.collector_id%TYPE,
cnum IN eb_collector_segment_iot.collector_num%TYPE,
sct OUT NOCOPY coll_seginfo_segment_codes,
snt OUT NOCOPY coll_seginfo_segment_names,
st OUT NOCOPY coll_seginfo_statuss,
sdt OUT NOCOPY coll_seginfo_start_dates,
edt OUT NOCOPY coll_seginfo_end_dates
AS
coll_id eb_collector_segment_iot.collector_id%TYPE;
err_msg VARCHAR2 (1000);
BEGIN
-- Check if collector_id is present. If not, get the collector ID using collector Num
IF cid IS NULL
THEN
coll_id := eb_collector_segment_get_cid (cnum, err_msg);
IF err_msg IS NOT NULL
THEN
raise_application_error
(-20001,
'Error while getting Collector ID for Collector Num: '
|| cnum
|| ', Msg: '
|| err_msg
END IF;
ELSE
coll_id := cid;
END IF;
-- Return the Segments
SELECT ecs.segment_code, es.segment_name, es.status, ecs.start_date,
ecs.end_date
BULK COLLECT INTO sct, snt, st, sdt,
edt
FROM eb_collector_segment ecs, eb_segment es
WHERE ecs.collector_id = coll_id
AND ecs.segment_code = es.segment_code
AND es.status = '1';
IF SQL%ROWCOUNT = 0
THEN
raise_application_error
(-20002,
'No Segment records found for Collector ID: '
|| coll_id
END IF;
END get_collector_segment_info;
ecs.segment_code, es.segment_name and es.status are of type VARCAHR2 and ecs.start_date and ecs.end_date are of type DATE. I wrote the following code to call the above store procedure:
connection = this.datasource.getConnection();
oracleCallableStatement = (OracleCallableStatement) connection.prepareCall("begin " + STORED_PROCEDURE_NAME
+ "(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?); end;");
oracleCallableStatement.setNull("cid", Types.VARCHAR);
oracleCallableStatement.setLong("cnum", collectorNum);
oracleCallableStatement.registerIndexTableOutParameter(3, 100, OracleTypes.VARCHAR, 100);
oracleCallableStatement.registerIndexTableOutParameter(4, 100, OracleTypes.VARCHAR, 100);
oracleCallableStatement.registerIndexTableOutParameter(5, 100, OracleTypes.VARCHAR, 100);
oracleCallableStatement.registerIndexTableOutParameter(6, 100, OracleTypes.DATE, 0);
oracleCallableStatement.registerIndexTableOutParameter(7, 100, OracleTypes.DATE, 0);
resultSet = oracleCallableStatement.executeQuery();
When I run the code, I get a "java.sql.SQLException: Invalid PL/SQL Index Table" exception on oracleCallableStatement.executeQuery(). I tried many other variations and searched on forums but nothing worked for me. Does anyone have any idea? I'm really desparate. i use JDK 1.4.2_12 and WebLogic 8.1 SP6.
Thanks,

Hi Avi,
I think you are right and I was using the wrong method. With some help from our DBA the problem was resolved Here is the correct code:
connection = this.datasource.getConnection();
oracleCallableStatement = (OracleCallableStatement) connection.prepareCall("begin " + STORED_PROCEDURE_NAME
+ "(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?); end;");
oracleCallableStatement.setNull(1, Types.VARCHAR);
oracleCallableStatement.setLong(2, collectorNum);
oracleCallableStatement.registerOutParameter(3, OracleTypes.ARRAY, "COLL_SEGINFO_SEGMENT_CODES");
oracleCallableStatement.registerOutParameter(4, OracleTypes.ARRAY, "COLL_SEGINFO_SEGMENT_NAMES");
oracleCallableStatement.registerOutParameter(5, OracleTypes.ARRAY, "COLL_SEGINFO_STATUSS");
oracleCallableStatement.registerOutParameter(6, OracleTypes.ARRAY, "COLL_SEGINFO_START_DATES");
oracleCallableStatement.registerOutParameter(7, OracleTypes.ARRAY, "COLL_SEGINFO_END_DATES");
oracleCallableStatement.execute();
String[] segmentCodes = (String[]) oracleCallableStatement.getARRAY(3).getArray();
String[] segmentNumbers = (String[]) oracleCallableStatement.getARRAY(4).getArray();
String[] segmentStatuses = (String[]) oracleCallableStatement.getARRAY(5).getArray();
Timestamp[] startDates = (Timestamp[]) oracleCallableStatement.getARRAY(6).getArray();
Timestamp[] endDates = (Timestamp[]) oracleCallableStatement.getARRAY(7).getArray();
segments = new Segment[segmentCodes.length];
for (int i = 0; i < segmentCodes.length; i++) {
System.out.println(segmentCodes[i] + ' ' + segmentNumbers[i] + ' ' + segmentStatuses[i] + ' ' + startDates[i] + ' '
+ endDates);
segments[i] = new Segment();
segments[i].setSegmentCode(segmentCodes[i]);
segments[i].setSegmentName(segmentNumbers[i]);
segments[i].setStatus(segmentStatuses[i]);
if (startDates[i] != null) {
segments[i].setStartDate(new java.util.Date(startDates[i].getTime()));
if (endDates[i] != null) {
segments[i].setEndDate(new java.util.Date(endDates[i].getTime()));

Remove fields from ODS objects with data

Hi
Is there a smartway to delete the infoobjects from an ODS without deleting contents? These fields are just added to ODS, and activated the ODS. But, now we donot want them and want to delete these objects from ODS. Any ideas???
Thanks

Hi,
If it will not be possible for you to reload the data to the ODS after deleting, you can try to create a copy of this ODS, move the data from original to copy, delete data in original, make changes and reactivate, and then move data back from copy to original.
Hope this helps...

Web Gallery with Date (dd-mm-yyyy) and Caption metadata only

Aperture is a great product.
I would like to add the date (dd-mm-yyyy) and caption to my photos but do not have that combination in the metadata drop down.
How do I customize this?
Thanks, Paul.
iMac Intel Core Duo 20", 2 GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.4) Nikon Coolscan V ED, Nikon D200, Iomega MiniMax Drives

I want to put caption and date (but not time) on each photo in a photobook. I've finished laying out the book and only just discovered that I can't do it. The metadata button has many options but not caption and date together.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Script to schedule webi report with prompts

Dear experts,
I need to schedule about 300 reports to run on a monthly basis. Those reports have to prompts to be filled: year and month.
How can I schedule it and fill the prompts automatically? I thought of scheduling a script that would run those reports but I'm not able to find a script that fills the prompts.
Can you help me?
Thanks!

What version of BOE are you on? In any case, you'd need to use the ReportEngine SDK. You might be better off posting this to the appropriate Business Intelligence SDK forum.

Using data web beans with data tags

I've a master-detail relationship, and i use a view current record to show the master record and a row tag in create mode, to insert a record in the detail table.
Do i need to populate the primary key of detail table or they are automatically populate like edit current record?
Thanks

Your DataWebBean is using a different application module instance thatn your datatags. Make the following changes:
1. remove the calls to
<%
// make sure the application is registered
oracle.jbo.html.jsp.JSPApplicationRegistry.registerApplicationFromPropertyFile(session , "PrjSegJSP_PkgSeg_PkgSegModule");
%>
2. change the following statement
tb.initialize(application,session, request,response,out,"PrjSegJSP_PkgSeg_PkgSegModule.KssegtrolesView");
to
tb.initialize(application,session, request,response,out,"PkgSegModule.KssegtrolesView");
3. Add a releaseAppResources tag to the end of both pages. The KssegtrolesView_Insert.jsp page should use reserved mode and the KssegtrolesView_SubmitInsertForm.jsp should be suing stateful mode.
You have now told the DWB to use the same am pool and application instance as the DataTag.
