Scheduling webi reports via Java SDK in BI 4.1

Hi,
Has anyone been able to schedule a Webi report containing date prompts via Java SDK in BI 4.1? I have tried doing so but it doesn't work when date prompts are involved, I get the exception raised: java.lang.NullPointerException error. Though the scheduled instance is created and the date prompt appears to be correctly populated the report fails with the above mentioned error message. The code is working for other text prompts but fails when I have a date prompt in the report. I am using the populateWebiPrompts() method to populate the prompts.

Hi Christopher,
Try adding the following line in your code before scheduling:
iWebi.setUserInputLocaleName(documentInstance.getProperties().getProperty(PropertiesType.BASE_LOCALE));
Also as an FYI, please refer below details.
For scheduling webi reports with prompts, the only supported way is to use Restful webservices SDKs.
The feature of scheduling a webi report with prompts were deprected from release BI 4.x and introduced in the new restfull webservices. Restful is the future which SAP is focussing and would be great to have your application on supported terms with SAP.
You can get details about the restful webservices from the documents and blogs available at below forum

Drill in Webi reports via Java SDK

Hi!
Is it possible to programatically drill up\down in Webi reports? I'm looking throught RE documentation - there are interfeces providing drill functionality (DrillInfo etc). But I can't understand how I can drill in InfoObject instance or may be I can schedule a report with a drill on?
I need to create a code that will create the instance of docement with drill by some dimensions..
Thanks a lot

Retrieve underlying SQL query for deski report via java SDK in BOXIR2

Hi all,
I am trying to retrieve underlying SQL queries of a deski report in BOXIR2. However I find the error as
oDataProvider = oDocumentInstance.getDataProviders().getItem(i1);
System.out.print(oDataProvider.getName());
oSQLDataProvider = (SQLDataProvider) oDataProvider;
oSQLContainer_root = oSQLDataProvider.getSQLContainer();
But "This feature is not supported for desktop Intelligence " exception has occured.
I am running the same query for Webi, and I did not find any issue . After several time spending in google, it appears to me that this code is supported by webi only. But "This feature is not supported for desktop Intelligence " exception has occured.
Please help me to find out the solution in java SDK. If its not supported by Java SDK, then could you please provide me any workaround , e.g. any macro . Any help !!

Nita

Hi Fritz,
I am not getting the way.. how to open the deski report programmatically. I am writing the code in this way:
Dim oInfoObjects1 As CrystalInfoStoreLib.InfoObjects
        Set oInfoObjects1 = oInfoStore.Query("SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_NAME='" & oInfoObject.Title & "' AND SI_ID='" & oInfoObject.Id & "' order by SI_NAME")
    Dim oInfoObject1 As CrystalInfoStoreLib.InfoObject
    Dim UserCount1 As Integer
        UserCount1 = oInfoObjects1.ResultCount
        MsgBox "SELECT * FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS WHERE SI_NAME=' " & oInfoObject.Title & " ' AND SI_ID=' " & oInfoObject.Id & " ' order by SI_NAME"
        MsgBox " Total number of Deski reports are : [" & UserCount1 & "]", vbOKOnly
    Dim j As Integer
     For j = 1 To UserCount1
      Set oInfoObject1 = oInfoObjects1.Item(i)
            sFile_ReportList = StrConv(oInfoObject1.Title, vbLowerCase) & ".rep"
            sFile_Output = "D:\TraceWrite1\ " & StrConv(oInfoObject1.Id & "_" & oInfoObject1.Title, vbLowerCase) & ".txt"
            sFile_ReportListTemp = StrConv(oInfoObject1.Files.Item(j), vbLowerCase)
            MsgBox "[" & sFile_ReportList & "]", vbOKOnly
                    If Dir(sFile_ReportList) = "" Then
            MsgBox "The text file [" & sFile_ReportList & "] for the DeskI documents does not exist!" & vbCrLf & "Aborting process."
            Exit Sub
            End If
I am getting the error on line ... If Dir(sFile_ReportList) = "" Then... The code is not able to locate the deski report path.
Is this the correct way to get a deski report information? Please let me know, If I am going in the right direction.

How to set DbConnections when scheduling a crystal report using Crystal Reports Server Java SDK?

Post Author: Manjula
CA Forum: JAVA
Hi,
Trying to schedule a report using Crystal Reports Server Java SDK. Want to pass DBConnections from API, though passing DBConnections, the report is not being scheduled and says "Failed to retrieve data from the database.Details:[Database Vendor Code:6550].
Would be thankful if someone could answer my point as applicable.
Here is the code attached.
ISDKList dbLogons = oReport.getReportLogons();int dbLogonSize = dbLogons.size();
for(int i=0; i<dbLogonSize; ++i) {
IReportLogon dbLogon = (IReportLogon)dbLogons.get(i);
dbLogon.setDatabaseName("DBname");
dbLogon.setUserName("usrname");
dbLogon.setPassword("pwd");
Thanks in advance.

Ted,
Thank you for your valuable information.
First, tried scheduling on Central Management Console and then with the java code.It worked fine, but here is another question for you.
On the Console, a report exists with ServerName and UserName harcoded and when trying to set ServerName and UserName from the java code, its throwing exception. Where as Password is not set on Console, am able to set password from java.
And DatabaseName is not set on Console (non editable), unable to set the same from java too. Why is it so?
So, my question is - though ServerName,DatabaseName,UserName,Password exists on the Console report, can't I override those parameters from java?
Would be greatful if you answer my question and provide me some guidance.
Thanks in advance.

How to create a report with data using the Crystal Reports for Java SDK

Hi,
How do I create a report with data that can be displayed via the Crystal Report for Java SDK and the Viewers API?
I am writing my own report designer, and would like to use the Crystal Runtime Engine to display my report in DHTML, PDF, and Excel formats. I can create my own report through the following code snippet:
ReportClientDocument boReportClientDocument = new ReportClientDocument();
boReportClientDocument.newDocument();
However, I cannot find a way to add data elements to the report without specifying an RPT file. Is this possible? I seems like it is since the Eclipse Plug In allows you to specify your database parameters when creating an RPT file.
is there a way to do this through these packages?
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.data
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.definition
Am I forced to create a RPT file for the different table and column structures I have?
Thank you in advance for any insights.

Hi Rameez,
After working through the example code some more, and doing some more research, I remain unable to populate a report with my own data and view the report in a browser. I realize this is a long post, but there are multiple errors I am receiving, and these are the seemingly essential ones that I am hitting.

Throws the exception
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportSDKException: java.lang.NullPointerException---- Error code:-2147467259 Error code name:failed
There was other sample code on SDN which suggested the following - adding the table after calling table.setDataFields() as in:
          String tableName = "Building";
            String fieldname = "Building_Name";
            Table oTable = new Table();
            oTable.setName(tableName);
            oTable.setAlias(tableName);
            oTable.setQualifiedName(tableName);
            oTable.setDescription(tableName) ;
            Fields fields = new Fields();
            DBField field = new DBField();
            field.setDescription(fieldname);
            field.setHeadingText(fieldname);
            field.setName(fieldname);
            field.setType(FieldValueType.stringField);
            field.setLength(40);
            fields.add(field);
            oTable.setDataFields(fields);
            oTable.setConnectionInfo(oConnectionInfo);
            rcd.getDatabaseController().addTable(oTable, null);
This code succeeds, but it is not clear how to add that database field to a section. If I attempt to call the following:
FieldObject oFieldObject = new FieldObject();
            oFieldObject.setDataSourceName(field.getFormulaForm());
            oFieldObject.setFieldValueType(field.getType());
            // Now add it to the section
            oFieldObject.setLeft(3120);
            oFieldObject.setTop(120);
            oFieldObject.setWidth(1911);
            oFieldObject.setHeight(226);
            rcd.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().add(oFieldObject, rcd.getReportDefController().getReportDefinition().getDetailArea().getSections().getSection(0), -1);
Then I get an error (which is not unexpected)
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.ReportDefControllerException: The field was not found.---- Error code:-2147213283 Error code name:invalidFieldObject
How do I add one of the table.SetDataFields() to my report to be displayed?
Are there any other pointers or suggestions you may have?
Thank you

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 )

Date error when scheduling webi reports

Hi,
When i click the prompt option in re schedule the scheduled webi report, i got the error "while trying to invoke the method java.util.date.gettime() of a null object loaded from a local variable 'date' "
The BI version is 4.1 SP03
The scheduled webi reports failing and got the error as "Unparseable date: "01/01/1900" "
How to solve this issues?
Regards,
Kathir

This might fix it from the note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1981477
Create a WebI report that uses a date object in the Query Filters
Schedule the report
Reschedule by manually entering date value which shows only date and no timestampExample: 12/31/2007
Reschedule by selecting date value from the calendar which shows date timestampExample: 12/31/2007 12:00:00 AM
Create a biar file using the Import Wizard and migrate to BI 4.1 SP2
BI 4.1 SP2 BILaunchPad, navigate to and Right click the report and go to “History”
Right click the instance without a timestamp for the date parameter and select “Reschedule”
Click on “Prompts” on the left menu and note an error is produced:This error occurred: while trying to invoke the method java.util.Date.getTime() of an object loaded from local variable ‘date’
Attempting to schedule this instance (as Run Now or Reschedule) without selecting a Prompt value fails with the error: Unparseable date: “12/31/2007”
Using the instance with a timestamp works as expected

Scheduled webi reports fail, why? If I restart BO services they work again

Hello.
I'm having a problem with my scheduled Webi reports and I don't know what is causing it. I have some reports scheduled to run at 8:00 am, and are supposed to be sent to a determined e-mail. Last week it worked well and the reports were sent to their destination successfuly, then this week the same reports didn't reach their destination. I verified in the History option and all of them showed a Failed status. I checked the detail and this is what it shows:
Unexpected exception caught. Reason: [java.lang.NullPointerException: i_statusInfo is null.]
If I try to reschedule these reports or any other report or a new report I get the same error. The only way I can make the schedule option work again for my webi reports is restarting BusinessObjects services.
But I guess this is not the right solution.
What can I do? How can I determine what is causing my scheduled webi reports fail?
What does this java.lang.NullPointerException: i_statusInfo is null message mean?
Is there a way I could track the service that is failing? which BO service is the service that manage the Schedule reports?
Any help is welcome.

Scheduling WebI reports in BusinessObjects 4.0 date prompts

will SAp Business Objects 4.0 include some kind of feature to allow people to schedule webi reports in an easier way if the report conatins date prompts? For example if my report has 2 dates start date and end date prompts, it's logical if I want to schedule it to be refreshed every month I don't want to keep it scheduling with the same start date and end date for ever. I want them to change depending on the month.
I know there are some things that can be done at universe level, but what if a user doesn't have rights to modify the universe? It would be more useful to have some option in the schedule window to make the values change depending on some basic conditions.
Or at least if profiles settings could help to do that by selecting in the list objects instead of fixed values from the list, it could help too.

Hi,
This looks like to be a request for future product enhancements.
You need to log an Enhancement Request via Idea Place for the feature/functionality you would like to see in BI4.0. Please follow steps in the attached SAP note [1515837 - How To: Enhancement Request Process - Idea Place |https://bosap-support.wdf.sap.corp/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/sno/ui_entry/entry.htm?param=69765F6D6F64653D3030312669765F7361706E6F7465735F6E756D6265723D3030303135313538333726]. If this idea is already submitted, you will need just to add your vote to it.

Changing order of month day year on scheduled webi Report

Hi gurus,
As I schedule webi report as pdf and use DateTime placeholder I receive it as "2014-03-02-22-32-44" which is in the format yyyy-mm-dd hh-mm-ss.
My question is if I would be able to see the date format as dd-mm-yyyy-hh-mm-ss
Thanks.
Eddy.

Hi Nikhil,
I am asking about the date output format when you add on schedule via placeholder.
I have yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
however I need
dd-mm-yyyy hh:mm:ss
I have already checked with server's settings it shows d m y

Schedule webi reports to Sharepoint

Hi,
I am working upon BO XI R3.1 and we need to schedule webi reports to Sharepoint. I have scheduled reports via Email before but have never tried scheduling it to Sharepoint. I have two questions here:
1. Can we schedule webi reports to Sharepoint successfully? (I heard something about unmanaged disk option in CMC but have no clue about it)
2. Do we need SAP BO Sharepoint integration kit to achieve this?
Also, I am not sure what advantages does Integration Kit provides, is it required for scheduling purpose or not.
Request you to help me. Thanks in advance !!

Thanks for your reply Ingo.
So, should I consider anything to choose between regular scheduling and Integration kit? I just have the requirement to schedule reports to Sharepoint. Is there any specific reason for using integration kit? I have to propose one solution.
Thanks for your time !!

Schedule webi report u2013 report should go under Public Folders in Info View

Hi Experts,
Schedule webi report
Destination -> File System u2013 what directory path I should give to move reports under Public Folders?
Is that possible to give the path of Public Folders as Destination directory?
Regards,
Sasi

To see the latest instance of a report automatically you can change the default from view to view latest instance.
CMC > Applications > Infoview and select View the latest successful instance of the object
Then when you double click on the report, it will open the latest instance.
BUT if the report doesn't have an instance, eg only be run manually not via the schedule, the report won't open. You have to right click and select view.
I've seen either here or in another forum that in XI 2 it will automatically open the report if it doesn't have an instance but in XI 3.1 it doesn't.
