How to remove Layout page when submitting reports in self service?

Hi, when submitting a report or request thru self service, there are 7 steps or pages to go thru. We would like to hide some of these pages and we learned that this could be done thru the Web HTML Call tab when creating the function for the report (System Administrator->Application->Function). For example if you want to hide the Schedule page, just add &scheduleRegion=Hide in the Web HTML Call. We wanted to hide the Layout page and we added layoutRegion=Hide but it's still not hiding it. The other pages we could hide but for some reason the layout page won't. Anybody knows how to do this? Did we get the correct region name for the Layout page (i.e layoutRegion)?
Thanks,
Ronaldo

Jus convert your report in Page Layout mode and see if your first pafe is getting expand in the second page.
Now check if there are any cell going into second page.
- if there are any blank cell which is there after table.
you have to check formating very carefull.

How to call an Oracle Report from a Self Service HR page.

Hi,
I am trying to call an Oracle Report from a Self Service HR page. I personalized the page to add a button and link the report's URL to that button; but I am having issues passing/manipulating parameters to this report.
Is there a better approach to do this, please post your suggestions. Also If you can direct me to some usefull documentation that will be great.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Hilal

Tapash,
Thanks for reponding.
Here is the URL I am currently using :
https://gccss.glendale.edu:8001/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=rep60_crp3+userid=apps/pswd@crp3+report=/u07/oracle/crp3appl/gcccus/11.5.0/reports/US/GCC_ACCRUAL_BAL_0505.rdf+desformat=html+paramform=yes+destype=cache+p_accesscode=""
The p_accesscode is the parameter I need to pass to the Oracle report.
Currently, when I click the button, it invokes the above URL and takes me to the parameter form of the Oracle report and when I enter the Username, it runs the report and displays the desired output. But, what I need to achieve is, to pass the current user who has logged in behind the scene and to get rid of the parameter screen totally. Is this doable ? If yes, please help me !!!
Thanks

Enabling our clients reporting self-service

SharePoint 2013 Enterprise.
We create sites for each of our clients. On these sites we have various canned SSRS reports with parameters where customer can get on-demand output. But there is always a need for Client to ask for report with columns that aren't on the reports.
The data model behind these reports is relatively simple and can be expressed in one view. The problem is that there are A LOT of columns. There are 56 dimensional columns, and nearly 146 measures (or 146 columns in the Fact table)... capturing the
various component costs of parcel and freight shipping. So the one view has nearly 200 columns.
The reports our customers want to run can generate output in the 10,000s to x00,000s rows of data.
So we need something that can generate a dynamic SELECT column listing and a dynamic WHERE clause.
What in SharePoint can allow this? I've tried using Reporting Services but the parameter ui is not suitable for this. The Reporting Service also takes a long time the bigger the output is, naturally. I looked at Power View, but Power View does
not have an easy Export function and in any case, our data would not fit in memory for tabular analysis.
I'm thinking I have to create something akin to the Report Services Report Wizard with the two large text boxes with the add remove buttons between them with the column listing on the left side. And then somehow find a way to capture their WHERE requirements.
Anyone steer me in a direction to go?

Hi Vince,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to dynamically specify columns of a SharePoint list as SSRS report data source.
For achieving your demand, you need to use XML data source. The XML content can be embedded directly within the query. This lets you use the expression capabilities within the processing engine to build queries
and data dynamically within the report. And it can be used for retrieving XML data directly from an external data source, passing it using parameters, and embedding it within the query.

Passing parameters dynamically from Self Service Page

Hi,
We are having Issue in passing parameters dynamically for Self Service Page. We are in the process of doing research on the same which is taking time. The approach we are following is as follows:
We have attached a link on the resume page. The link is in the form of a button. On the click of button the report is displayed. The steps are as given below:
1. Log in through the Application Developer Responsibility.
2. Created a SSWA plsql type function CD_TEST_SS with parameters as report=TESTING_PDF&PARAMETERS=P_PERSON_ID~617*DESFORMAT~PDF*]] and HTML call as OracleOASIS.RunReport.
3. Enable the profile option Personalize Self-Service Defn to Y.
4. Log in through the Manager Self Service Responsibility.
5. Create an item of type button Test using personalization feature and attach the function CD_TEST_SS to the Resume page.
6. The button Test appears on the form.
7. On clicking the Test button the 6i report is called. The rdf file is place on the server in appl/au/11.5.0/reports/US directory. The rdf name is TESTING_PDF.rdf.
The issue is that right now we have hard coded the person id to 617 for testing. We need to pass the parameters at runtime. i.e. the person id of the employee selected should be passed dynamically. Please let us know if you have any idea about this.
Thanks and Regards

Unable to view actuals in Project Management's workplan (self-service page)

Hi,
I followed all steps you suggested, in details:
first of all I not enable workplan versioning like PJT R12 manual says at page 2-47.
1-Create a requisition for the project-task combination, then autocreate a purchase order and finally a receipt to create actuals in transactional system
2-Run PRC:interface supplier costs, at this time I found Actuals on PSI form
3-Run process "PRC: Update Project and Resource Base Summaries" (for all projects)
4-Run process "PRC: Update Project Performance Data" on my project
and Actuals were not reported in self-service page
please let me know if I have failed some steps
Thank you,
Regards,
Nicola

This works in our environment...
PRC: Transaction Import     Source "Inventory"
PRC: Distribute Usage & Misc Costs
PRC: Update Project Summary Amounts
PRC: Update Project and Resource Base Summaries
PRC: Update Project Perfomance Data
You should find actuals on the Reporting Tab within the project. To see the actuals on the Workplan, you also need to "Apply Latest Progress" on the Update Tasks screen, or "View Workplan Costs".

XML Bursting and attaching PDF file to self service page

Hi All,
We have developed custom report and implemented XML Bursting Program(not intended to send e-mails). If the output of the concurrent program is producing 100 output files, say 100 pdf HR letters, we need to attach each letters to individual employee HR records(Manager Self service page).
How can we implement a solutions for the above requirement.
Thanks in Advance,
Arun

Hi,
I have similar requirement to attach the report output to one entity as an FND attachment. Any examples?

Disabling Action Button for only manager in Manager Self Service

Hi people,
I have a requirement in SSHR. I created one SIT for training assessment and added this function to Manager Self Service. So, if a manager logs into the system and clicks this function, he will be able to see the subordinates reporting to him. He can choose Action button against any of them to fill the assessment form. But the Action button is also visible against the manager name. My client Wants the Action button to be hided for Manager (as manager should not be allowed to fill his own form) and only wants action button to visible for subordinates reporting to him. Is there any way to achieve this through any profile option or personalisation
Thanks

Hi,
I am not sure if it is possible through personalization please, give a try.. If this doesnt work I think you can go for user hook and put validation like if selected person is same as initiator then throw an error.
Thanks,
Avinash

URL that open Self Service Submit Request page with parameters

Hello,
I have a concurrent program on Oracle APPS that generate an output in HTML.
I want to have a link in the data that, when click, it takes the information for this line (account_number, header_id etc) and open the web page for submitting request (Self service). Where the user can find the program name already in the textbox.
Or better, is it possible to just click on the link on the report output and a concurrent program is launched with the parameter of the line where the link is.
Note: no OAF coding in this solution
Thanks for you help,
Vik

I think you dont need to create a Concurrent program submission window. It is available in OAF itself. Just you need to pass input parameter. Also read more in dev guide.

Self service pages not opening

Dear All
We are upgrading form 11.0.3 to R12, and they have build lots customized workflow and self service pages. The menus and functions are there, but still it is not opening and it says page cant be opened.
But employee self service responsibilty is opening fine. Do we need to do any setups or we have anything to move like we move the custom form and reports.
Kindly help me in this
Thanks in advance
Regards
Nakshathra

So no Self Service page is opening? If that is the case, then I guess some configuration issue with URL or something similar.
Is Apache log completely empty or it has the page request calls logged?

MBAM 2.5 Issue with Self Service Portal

I have recently set up an MBAM 2.5 server to test with for a potential roll out of encryption to all laptops in our enterprise. All seems well. I have tested the recovery using the Drive Recovery option on the HelpDesk page and that works just
fine. I enter in the first 8 characters of the recovery key from the laptop and get back the 48 digit code. I enter in the 48 digit code and I am in.
The problem arises when I attempt using the SelfService Recovery option. Once I put in the 8 characters in the Recovery Key ID box, select a reason and hit the Get Key button, it gives me a response of Invalid Key ID.
These are all laptops that I have already logged into with my account and it is the same account that I am using in the Self Service Portal.
I had another user attempt it from his laptop with the same results.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Patrick

- I've verified that the user attempting to get the Recovery Key ID from SSP has logged into the machine before (and the database confirms that).
- Had another user from the device try the SSP - same issue.
- Verified that the Recovery Key ID can be used and get a Recovery Key from the HelpDesk portal - works.
- Pulled logs from the client and the server - no errors related to issuing recovery keys.
- The Recovery Audit Report shows that the two users (myself and the actual owner of the laptop) show "Failed" on the attempt, but the HelpDesk recoveries work (depicted).
Do the user's have to be in a specific group or anything to be able to get recovery keys from SSP?
What's even more weird is that my company is using MDOP MBAM as well and this is not a problem - Self Service works like a charm. This feels like there's some kind of permissions issue - especially since I was able to verify with a custom query that my user
account was assigned to this machine and that I should be allowed to do this.
