Setting justify in report tables?

Hi All,
I'm venturing into the world of report generating and want to know if there is a way to set cell justification for the tables generated by the "Append Table to Report" VI. The results don't look half bad but my data cells are all left justified and I'd like to move them to center justified.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks TST,
I had to do a lot of drilling and exploring but found the location based on your suggestion. For the record, the mod is in the "Enter Row Cell Data" VI. I have included a screen shot of the mod.

User/Profile Risk Violation Report table is empty

Dear community,
I am struggeling to find the solution for a quite simple problem: the user and profile risk violation report tables show no results (are empty). And this, although the associated tables (in the backend) contain entries for the same selection criteria (eg. GRACPROFILEACTVL etc.). What could be the reason for that? I started again the batch risk analysis very carefully (manually) on User and Profile Level, for the correct rule set and the correct system, it completed successfully, but I still can't see any results (not even a message like "No violations" or something). As an example, I took the profile SAP_ALL for a target system, which should obviously return a lot of risks/violations.
I have also checked that this is not an authorization issue. To be more precise, actually, this functionality is working fine on the development and UAT GRC system, but not in production.
Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Erik,
The problem you are facing with only due to the SoD rule sets, which are in active as you might not have generated in Production system
Generate the SoD rule sets, run the jobs and then run the risks reports, you will get the results as expected.

Best way to set up a custom table using dates ytd, quarters, months

Hello-
I did post this on the crystal forum however it really involves setting up a good structured table in order to get the data to report on which I think we need to change which is why I'm posting here.
I am not a dba but I work with crystal reports and we are working together to get data in tables that we can report on. We are in the process of creating a data warehouse, which will mainly be summarized data we are exporting out of our legacy system and importing into a mysql database. Most of this data will be summarized by month, quarter and year. We will have multiple years of data. A lot of the reports we will be creating will be in a comparison manner such as 2009 vs 2008 or Jan this year compared to Jan last year or list out sales by month Jan-Dec 2009. I would like this data to be easily displayed on a report in a side by side manner. To get this result, what is the best way to structure the data in the tables on a monthly, quarterly and yearly basis? Right now weu2019ve got one field in the table called date (which is a string) which is listed like:
Date
2008YTD
2009YTD
2009Jan
2008Jan
Is it best to break out the date information so that on the report side it will be easier to work with? Also should this be set up in the table as a date instead of a string? If so how do you account for a YTD date? Are we going to need 2 dates, a start and end date to achieve ytd or qtd information? Do you recommend creating just a date table and if so how would that be structured?
So for reporting purposes, using crystal reports, I would like to display comparison data on a report side by side, for this example this year goals compared to last years goals by goal code A-Z (which is a credit code, goals are for the # of credits by code for the year). The end result I would like is to look like this:
code   2009 goal   2008 goal
A        25              20
B        50              60
C        10              15
However the data looks like this (displaying all of the 2009 data first then the 2008 data, not side by side which is how it is in the table):
code   2009 goal   2008 goal
A        25
B        50
C        10
etc to Z
A                          20
B                          60
C                          15
Right now the data is structured in the table like:
Code Goal Date (this is currently a string in the db)
A        25     YTD 2009
B        50     YTD 2009
etc. A-Z for 2009 then:
A        20      YTD 2008
B        60      YTD 2008
Any thoughts on strucuting a table would be appreciated. thanks.

Jennifer,
Most of the DW examples I've seen use a dimDateTime table in the database. That table has multiple columns related to the specific time... For example, here are the columns that are in the, SQL Server sample database, "AdventureWorkdDW"... "DimTime" table
COLUMN_NAME             COLUMN_INFO
TimeKey               (int, not null)
FullDateAlternateKey     (datetime, null)
DayNumberOfWeek          (tinyint, null)
EnglishDayNameOfWeek     (nvarchar(10), null)
SpanishDayNameOfWeek    (nvarchar(10), null)
FrenchDayNameOfWeek     (nvarchar(10), null)
DayNumberOfMonth     (tinyint, null)
DayNumberOfYear          (smallint, null)
WeekNumberOfYear     (tinyint, null)
EnglishMonthName     (nvarchar(10), null)
SpanishMonthName     (nvarchar(10), null)
FrenchMonthName          (nvarchar(10), null)
MonthNumberOfYear     (tinyint, null)
CalendarQuarter          (tinyint, null)
CalendarYear          (char(4), null)
CalendarSemester     (tinyint, null)
FiscalQuarter          tinyint, null)
FiscalYear          (char(4), null)
FiscalSemester          (tinyint, null)
Then all of the fact table receive their date stamps by linking back to this table, using the TimeKey as a foreign key.

Timestamp format in Report table

How can you set the timestamp value to nowrap in the Report table results. It is the only column that is wrapping since the timestamp is longer than the Column header

I also work with Timestamps, and I would ask what you are trying to achieve. The Timestamp takes up a lot of room. If you don't necessarily need every bit of the timestamp, use a dateformat to display it in a shorter format that fits in the space restraints you define. If you need all the data, you're going to have to either give it the space it needs (could be up to almost 30 characters) or put it on two lines.
You could also try using HTML tags to affect the font size, or even display the full timestamp as a mouseover. Other than that, not many options.

OBIEE Answers does not display the result set of a report query

Hi,
We have a pivot table type of report in Oracle Business Intelligence Enterprise Edition v.10.1.3.3.2 Answers that has the following characteristics:
     3 Pages
     3 Sections , 4 Columns
     18363 Rows in the result set
As per the NQQuery.log, the query for this report executes successfully resulting in 18363 rows. However, nothing comes up in the display on Answers. Moreover, no error is reported. The instanceconfig.xml file has the following setting:
<PivotView>
     <CubeMaxRecords>30000</CubeMaxRecords>
     <CubeMaxPopulatedCells>300000</CubeMaxPopulatedCells>
</PivotView>
Even with these settings, Answers just returns a blank page - nothing is displayed in the name of the result set of the report query. Has anyone encountered this problem scenario before?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Piyush

Hi Fiston / Pradeep,
Thanks for your inputs. A few points to note:
-> I am actually not getting any error message in answers or the NQQuery log. Moreover I am not getting any errors related to "query governor limit exceeding in cube generation" also.
-> I have other pivot table type of reports in the same repository that work fine. In fact the report which has this issue even works sometimes - what actually is happening is that if I alter the number of sections from 3 to 4, then the result set changes from 14755 Rows to 18363 Rows and as per the NQQuery.log in both cases the query completes successfully. However, when the result set has 14755 rows, I get to see the output in Answers; however when the result set is 18636 rows, the Answers screen just goes blank and does not show any output or error. This makes me believe that there is some parameter in instanceconfig or the NQSconfig file - I have tried a lot of changes but nothing works !
Any help is much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Piyush

Report Table

Hi all,
I have a question on creating a report from a function on a package. I have apex 4.01 and I want to create an interactive report table but the result isn't given directly by any set of table. Each row have to be calculated independently from the one another give the data on each one. For instance I might be getting the value on a column from a table and the value from the same column on another row from a different table.
Being new to apex and oracle but understanding the benefit of separating my query from the view I tried to create a package to put all this code but I have come to encounter some problems. This is what I could figure out on my own:
the package declaration:
create or replace package X as
type sss_record is record(
a number,
b date,
c varchar2(255),
d varchar2(255),
e varchar2(255),
f number);
type sss_summary_table is table of sss_record;
function sss_getSummary return sss_summary_table;
end X;the body (at this point I've only put testing logic there):
create or replace package body X as
    function sss_getSummary return sss_summary_table is
    summary sss_summary_table;
    summaryEntry sss_record;
    begin
        summaryEntry.a := 1;
        summaryEntry.b := '2011-JAN-25';
        summaryEntry.c := 'a';
        summaryEntry.d := 'b';
        summaryEntry.e := 'c';
        summaryEntry.f := 2500;
        summary.extend;
        summary(summary.count) := summaryEntry;
        return summary;
    end sss_getSummary;
end X; and the problem is when I try to call the function like this:
select * from table(X.sss_getSummary)It gives me the following error: "ORA-00902: invalid datatype"
I've followed a number of forum in the internet to reach this far and I've really run out of ideas. If anyone could help me I would really appreciate it.

Setting DatabaseName in Report is ignored by Crystal Engine

Post Author: nan
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hello.
I have a VB6 application using CR8.5 that i am currently migrating to CRXI. I connect to both SQLServer 2000 and Oracle 10g databases via ODBC. I have some reports on my PC which use a database
named TEST. On the production machine i have a database named LIVE. I also have the following variable in my application:Public cReport As CRAXDRT.ReportChanging the ODBC connection DSN using cReport.Database.Tables().ConnectionProperties("DSN") or cReport.Database.Tables().ConnectBufferString was successful. I cannot change the database name though. Even though i set the cReport.Database.Tables(*).ConnectionProperties("Database") property to "LIVE" at runtime, the Crystal Engine is still trying to connect to TEST. Even setting the ConnectBufferString directly does not help. I would appreciate any ideas on how to change the database name at runtime.

Default setting for Budget Report S_ALR_87013558

Dear All,
In Budget Report S_ALR_87013558, when it is executed every time when we enter, 2 number formats are displayed, one in Lakhs (Factor 1,00,000) and one in units (Factor 1). When I change it to Factor 1 through "Number format", then it comes as per selection.
This is only in prod server, dev server is ok.
How can I make it default to normal for all users on client level, i.e. to Factor 1.
Thanks
Shubham

Execute the report, now change the number format as per your requirement, now after changing, Press Ctrl+S, this will save the setting to this report. so if you execute the report system will take the number format which you saved as default setting.

Error in ABAP Report TABLES declaration

Hi,
I am a Basis administrator and trying to write a small program for archiving.
I get a folowing error when user the following statement in a report -
TABLES: RSDAARCHREQ.
The error is as follows -
"RSDAARCHREQ" must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal tables,
strings, references, or structures as components. -
I can include all the other tables requred but somehow this particular table gives me this error which I have never encountered earlier. This is BI 7.0 and it is standard SAP transparent table.
Please help me.
I will appreciate it.
Regards,
Sume

Hi Sume,
Do not declare RSDAARCHREQ in tables.
If you want a internal table declare in the below mentioned way .
data: it_RSDAARCHREQ TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF RSDAARCHREQ.
select * into table
it_RSDAARCHREQ
from RSDAARCHREQ.

Error in RSS file when setting datasource in report

Hi,
I trying to prepare script to deploy my reports to reporting service 2008. Script is takes from
this question (Deploying Reports rss). Unfortunately code provided for data sources settings is not working in my case and I do not know why.
Sequence is following: removed reports path, re-craete it, create datasource and for each report following actions performed: deploy and set datasource.
After first report tried to set data source in itself scripts failed with error:

Hi Alex,
I have test the script in my test environment, it works.
Based on the error message, the data source 'Warehouse Datasource' cannot be found. Please check, did you have add Warehouse Datasource.rds file in the same folder? In your case, it is located in: D:\Depot\Internal\BDW\BDW_Phase4\Src\BDW_R4.17.2\Reports\BDW_Reports
If the issue is persist, please feel free to ask.
