Set reporting options

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/presenter/using/WS3a32668ae8e7984c61736e10b1fbedbaf-7f9a.html

You are seeing the publishing options, not reporting options. The reporting options are in the Quiz manager. Go to Quiz Manage > Reporting tab. From there you will see the options for configuring your reporting.
You will want to publish to your computer (probably as a zip), and then pass that output to the individual pushing the content to the LMS. PDFs won't do reporting, other than the LMS can probably track that it has been accessed.

Inernet Explorer error when setting report options to xml

I get an error message stating that I need ot upgrade my ie to version 6 when I try to set reporting options to xml. The ie version on the PC is 6.0.2900.2180....
Has anyone had this problem?

Anand,
thanks for the help.
Regarding your questions, I found the key to be missing on 3 computers. One was a Dell Laptop with factory installed XP pro and the other 2 were Stealth computers (rack mount) also with XP pro from the factory.
The computeres are on our network and get updates regularly, so I do not know if the updates had anything to do with the problem.

Programmatically setting report options.

Is there a way, either through the TestStand engine interfaces or through writing property variables, to set the TestStand Report options? Specifically I'd like to affect the 'Disable Report Generation' option, and the 'Report Format' option.
Thanks,
Aaron Stibich

Aaron,
From your sequence file, you can add a callback sequence called ReportOptions. To add it, go to Edit->"Sequence File Callbacks..." and select ReportOptions (with type Callback Type "Model Callback") and click Add. Now you will have a ReportOptions sequence in your sequence file that the process model calls after reading the default report options. If you want to modify, say, the "Report Format" option, then add a statement step to this sequence with a version of the following statement:
Parameters.ReportOptions.Format = "txt"
From within this special sequence you can modify the report options as you like. If you want to change them for all of your sequence files, then you can modify the appropriate process model sequences.

Set Report options on user interface launch

Is there a way to set the Report Options dynamically when the Operator Interface launches? Using CVI 8.5.
For example if user select HTML report then Sequence for Select a Reprot Generator for Producing the Report Body should be selected. Result Filtering to be set to All Results and Include Limits and Measurement checked.
CLD,CTD

Hello lvrat,
If you want this to happen each time the Operator Interface launches, you can place a sequence call in "FrontEndCallbacks.seq" to run "Configure Report Options" from the process model. This will essentially call "ModelSupport.seq" which runs modelsupport2.dll. This is exactly what happens when you click Configure->Report Options... from a TestStand Development System.
Note: FrontEndCallbacks.seq runs at the start of the Operator Interface and at the exit of the Operator Interface because it handles Login & Logout. You will need to prevent it from running this "Configure Report Options" sequence call at Logout by setting the Precondition to "!Parameters.logout". Also, If your Login step has a Post Action to "Goto step" -> "<EndGroup>", you must set the Post Action to "Goto Next Step".

Problem in ALV set filter option

Hi to all
I have an issue regarding ALV report :
I have developed an ALV report and it is showing report output correctly as required.
when I further filter it on a particular field using SET FILTER OPTION , the length of the field is shorter than displayed.
Why this happens so.
BUT for the same field in a standard ALV report , it shows the same length as displayed in report.
Please advice. As this is the standard ALV functionality.
Thanks & Regards

& is this forum active or not????
I've posted 3 threads but no one is answering me.....

Hi,
I need some information from your side.
Which reports are you using?( Crystal Report, Webi or Deski) with exact version of it.
If the reports are running properly from the designer and you are having issue with application or in coding then you can post this question to BO Java SDK Application (Java Development) forum for better assistance.
Thanks,

Changes to „Report Options" don't affect output in the way I expect

Changes in the „Report Options“ Window don’t affect report-files in the way I expect. For Example: when I set “Report Format” to “Web Page” the output is a html-file but changes in the “Report Colors”-dialog don’t affect the output. When “Report Format” is set to “ASCII Text File” I get the same file shown in a texteditor – with html-tags and so on (not what I expected). The “Insert Graph”-option doesn’t work, too.
Has anyone an idea what‘s going wrong with my TestStand-installation?
Thanks!

Hi Daniel,
This is most interesting. Something is not working right here. The next thing I would suggest is that you try debugging the model and report generation sequences to see exactly what is going on. Here are some suggestions:
1) Launch the Sequence Editor.
2) Double click on the "Model" text in the status bar, this will open your station model.
3) Place a breakpoint on the "TestReport Callback" step inside of the "Single Pass" sequence.
4) Go to Configure>>Station Options and on the Execution tab select: Trace Into Entry Points option. Close this dialog by clicking OK.
5) Go to Configure>>Report Options and select the Sequence option and modify the other options to what you desire. Be sure to select the HTML report generation however. Close this dialog by clicking OK, not Cancel.
6) Load the sequence file, \Examples\Demo\C\computer.seq.
7) Select Single Pass from the Execute menu.
8) When the execution stops at the breakpoint, select the Context tab and navigate to Locals.ReportOptions. Quickly browse through the properties to make sure they are set to what you changed in the dialog.
9) Swicth back to the Steps tab and click step into.
10) Step over until you get to the "Get Report Body" sequence call, and then click step into.
11) Click on the Context tab and navigate to "RunState.SequenceFile.Path". Check this path. It should be pointing to "\Components\NI\Models\TestStandModels\ReportGen_html.seq".
11) Also check the values inside of Parameters.ReportOptions. These should resemble what you have selected on the Report Options dialog.
12) Continue single stepping, and stepping into subsequence calls, until an error is generated. Once the error occurs, select Break on the error dialog, and then examine the step that failed. Check to make sure that all the preconditions are correct and that any properties stated do actually exist.
13) If the step is configured to call a DLL make sure that the DLL it is calling is from the NI directory under \Components. You can do this by bringing up the specify module dialog for the DLL and checking the path.
By the way, the files I sent you are for TestStand 2.0.1f1. Is this your correct version? Please let me know if any of the above steps fail, and exactly what you are seeing. Thanks!

Need help setting export options

I'm working on replacing our old RDC component with the new Java SDK.
I purchased Crystal Reports 2008 and downloaded the SDK. Now I'm trying to run a simple example exporting a report to word. I've built it off of the other export examples I've seen on the site. None of them seem to give me an up to date example of how to set export options though.
Exporting seems to work when I export using this:
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream) report.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.MSWord);
But not when I do this:
ExportOptions opt = new ExportOptions();
opt.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.MSWord);
RTFWordExportFormatOptions myOptions = new RTFWordExportFormatOptions();
opt.setFormatOptions(myOptions);
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream) report.getPrintOutputController().export(opt);
Is there something I'm missing? I want to be able to explicitly set my export options - especially for other export formats like excel.

Unfortunately I must still be doing something wrong. The csv is exported but it comes back with gibberish characters in the file instead of what is in my Crystal. PDF comes back fine but the other export formats (xls, doc, csv, etc.) all come back with gibberish characters.
Here is an example of the csv export code I'm using::
ExportOptions opt = new ExportOptions();
CharacterSeparatedValuesExportFormatOptions csvOptions = new CharacterSeparatedValuesExportFormatOptions();
csvOptions.setSeparator(",");
csvOptions.setDelimiter("\"");
opt.setExportFormatType(ReportExportFormat.characterSeparatedValues);
opt.setFormatOptions(csvOptions);
ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream) report.getPrintOutputController().export(opt);
I don't believe I can use ReportExportControl - it doesn't seem to be a part of the SDK I downloaded(but maybe I'm missing something) - I need the SDK version for Crystal Reports 2008.
I do have Microsoft Office 2003. Maybe this is causing issues?

TestStand override report options for one sub-sequence

I have a TestStand sequence that calls 17 sub-sequences. I have the Report Options "Result Filtering Expression" set to "Exclude Passed/Done/Skipped". I am using TXT reports.
I want to override the Results Filtering report option for one of my sub-sequences (Voltage Test). I have included the ReportOptions Callback in the Voltage Test sub-sequence. The callback contains a statement that sets "Parameters.ReportOptions.ResultFilterExpression = "True"". The sub-sequence test results are still not appearing in the Report. I see no place in the TestStand documentation where the arguments for the "Parameters.ReportOptions.ResultFilterExpression" are listed. What am I doing wrong?

Hi
I have changed the attached sequencefile for the following in the ReportOptions
Parameters.ReportOptions.ResultFilterExpression = "Result.Status != \"Passed\" && Result.Status != \"Done\" && Result.Status != \"Skipped\""
One tip,
to get the correct syntax for the ReportOptions, place a break point in the ReportOptions. Before executing the Sequence File, setup the required parameter in the Configure | Report Options. Run the Single Pass, when it stops at the break point, you can then copy the contents of the required parameter.

Where is the "setting mouse options" toolbar in 5.5?

I just upgraded from Captivate 4.0 to 5.5. I used the "setting mouse options" toolbar in 4.0 all the time but I can't find it in 5.5. Am I able to turn it on in 5.5? I'm looking for a way of telling at a glance if a slide has mouse sound on it or not. Is this still in 5.5?

LOL, only you can truly decide if any upgrade of any software is "worth it".
Indeed, Captivate 5 and 5.5 are advancements in some areas and a return to the dark ages for other areas. So is the nature of upgrades, eh?
All I can do is to suggest you file a Wish Form to advise Adobe that you found the option useful and to vote for bringing it back. I say "vote" intentionally, because using the Wish Form it is actually a voting system. The more of these they see requesting a specific feature, the higher the odds that the request will eventually be taken seriously.

Designer report option recommendations

Does anyone have any recommendations for report options in designer? We have XI 3.1 with an Oracle data warehouse design with dimension and fact tables. So far, I've found the following recommendations;
(1) Format for objects of type Numeric, Currency & Date should be defined.
(2) Enable u201CPerform grouping on serveru201D This check box is inactive if Use Indexes or Server for Speed is not selected.
(3) Disable database "Perform query asynchronouslyu201D since Oracle driver does not support this option and it can therefore cause problems ( [http://www.orafaq.com/maillist/oracle-l/2000/07/19/2071.htm|http://www.orafaq.com/maillist/oracle-l/2000/07/19/2071.htm] )

Hi Karol, thanks for the answer. Sorry for all the dumb questions, but the report designer is altogether a new animal. Not to mention I havent worked on this.
I havent specified any page size for my report. When i run the report in the portal, the web page contains all the columns and not in PDF. Where can set the page size in the report designer to determine the size of my page.
And is there a way, where i can set an option to embed the report into PDF as a landscape(not while printing, but embbeding).

Disable Edit Report Option from SharePoint 2013 PowerView Dasboard

Hi All,
I have PowerView Dashboard in Sharepoint 2013, In a Preview Bar there are three options i.e. File, Edit Report, Full Screen.
The requirement is disable only Edit Report Option from preview bar not all.
Please help me if there is any possibility for the same.

Hi,
Based on your description, you want to disable the edit report option from SharePoint 2013 PowerView Dasboard.
There is a workaround:
You can change the permission of the report. You should upload the report to a SharePoint library and set a user have read-only permission of the report. When the user open the report and save the changes, it will have error. The user cannot edit the report.
The article below is about change the report permission in order to disable the edit option.

Hi Terry, it happened again :-(
Actually I see that the problem appeares in the same subsequence of my sequence. In that subsequence I have approximately 25 numeric steps, 6 of them are on skip now.
The problem appeares suddenly after many batch loops. I have the message "Error, Parameter new value: Out of memory. [Error code -17000, out of memory].
After that on next loop I see it runs and writes reports for others subsequences and steps, but on the "problem subsequence" again I get message "Out of memory"...
At the one of the problem loops I saw other message "An error occured calling 'Process One Result' in ITSO FlyReportGen of TestStand on-the-Fly-Report-Generator. Out of memory. Source: TSOTFRG [Error Code: -17000, Out of memory].
I use "Discard Results or Disable Results " enable option in the ModelOptions. But without success. Is this a problem of TestStand or may be is this the special problem of my subsequence or any step in that subsequence?

How to set reports server environment

Hi..
Now Oracle 9iAS r1 (reports60) was installed on Linux, Unix and NT for testing.
I typed like below in web browser .
http://IP:Port/dev60cgi/rwcgi60/showenv?server=ServerName
then Oracle Reports environment variants(REPORTS_PATH, REPORTS... so on..) did not set . except PATH, LI_LIBRARY_PATH and ORACLE_HOME variants like below..
====================================================
Oracle Reports Server CGI60 Environment Variables:PATH /home/ora9iasr1/product/9.0.1/Apache/perl/bin:/home/ora9iasr1/product/9.0.1/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:.:/usr/local/bin:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1_07/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/ora9iasr1/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/ora9iasr1/product/9.0.1/6iserver/lib
ORACLE_HOME /home/ora9iasr1/product/9.0.1/6iserver
ORACLE_PATH undefined
REPORTS60_PATH undefined
REPORTS60_TMP undefined
REPORTS60_CGIMAP undefined
==============================
I can set it with editing registery on Windows.
But thought I set it with export option at .bash_profile, reports60.sh and reports_server on Unix platform, it did not affected.
Please let me know how to set reports environment on Unix.
regards..
Ryu,

The reports CGI is started from script rwcgi60. Did you set those env variables in rwcgi60? Or did rwcgi60 call reports60.sh to set env variables? Please check.

The report options under "configure" and CSV or xls.

The report options under “configure” does not give .csv or xls as options. Instead of using vi to pass data to database, is there a simple way to transfer all the results (just like the way in the report that automatically generated) to .csv or xls...
Thanks.

Hi,
in order to modify the report generation, you have to understand the way how TestStand works in regard of the report generation.
There is a tutorial which explains this which you can find here. But please note that the tutorial is currently undergoing an improvement process.
The reason that the report options don't give you the option for xls or csv as report is:
Neither xls nor csv are predefined. So for example measurement values in xls can be placed in a special worksheet or included in a main sheet in a certain column.
hope this helps,
Norbert
