Siebel & "BIP Report Generation" Workflow and Bookmark Syntax

IHAC that wants to schedule the generation of a BIP report to run every weeknight and include a list of activities for the next day. We've utilized an OOTB IO and can successfully render the report using Sample XML in MS Word. Additionally, since they are only on 8.1.1, they do not currently have access to the latest scheduling capabilities. Therefore, we're trying to implement a repeating component to call a workflow to generate the report using the 'BIP Report Generation' workflow and the associated objects (from support posting 823360.1).
Now to the questions:
One of the parameters for the workflow is a 'Bookmark'. This parameter does not appear to handle various 'Siebel' querying functions like 'Today()' as part of the criteria. Can someone confirm this statement?
Currently, I can imagine one high-level possible workarounds. This would entail a revised WF and that includes a prior step to generate the 'Bookmark' by retrieving a string representation of tomorrow's date and concatenating it with the rest of the criteria.
Next question:
Does anyone have any other possible alternatives? Maybe a calculated field in the BC/IC for 'Today() + 1' - but this could have performance implications.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Suggestions/comments?
Bump.

  • Issue in BIP Report Generation - Issue gets fixed when the rtf is opened and re-saved

    Hi,
    We are facing a unique case in BIP reports generation at a Customer site. The BIP installed is a part of the OBIEE 11g installation. The customer report generates most of the times, however there are instances where we get a techinical details error ( custom error ) -  The only way to 'fix' this issue currently is to open the rtf file, hit the spacebar and save this file ( ie re-save this file ) and the report starts to generate correctly again for
    Has anyone else faced such a problem ?
    Also, not sure if this helps - the corresponding xdo has nested tags
    Thanks in Advance

    Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

    You need to close Exel when before your VI is running. Excel can not have two instances running at the same time.

  • Running macro on Table using Report Generation Toolkit and Office 2003 Incompatible!!!!!!!

    Hi,
    I am using some functions under the Report Generation toolkit (LabView 7.1). We recently updated our test PCs from Office 2000 to 2003. The "WORD IMPORT MODULE.VI" returns error code -41113 when used with Word 2003. No problem on Word 2000.
    In fact even the example VI available under Find Examples - Run Macro on Word Table fails and returns error code -41113 when "WORD IMPORT MODULE.VI" is called on Word 2003. Word 2000 is OK.
    Any one faced this problem???? Any solution to this problem??
    I would greatly appreciate your feedback / suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Mim

    darren,
    thanks for your reply.
    After checking the the property "Trust access to Visual Basic Project" , I get the following error message:
    Exception occured in Microsoft Word, Unable to run the specified macro. Help Path is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\1033\wdmain11.chm and context 37401 in Word Run Macro.vi->SetFirstRowAsTableHeaderforWord(Macro).vi->Generate Report.vi
    I can run the macro directly from Word.. no problem running macros in Excel dirently either. I get error message only when running macro from LabView. So, I doubt if it is an IT issue.
    You don't have a problem with Word 2003 and Word Import Module.vi???
    I am attaching my Vi-Report Generation.vi and the subvi. I would so much appreciate if you run ReportGenerate.vi on your PC and let me know if there is a problem.
    Many Thanks for your help.

  • What diff between BIP AttachEntity Report Generation and BIP Report Generation?

    Hi all,
    I want to know the two WF has what's difference.
    I had seen they have same method and step.
    Actually,I want to do a function, when click a button,will generate BIP reports.
    Using the BIP Report Gneration can do this.
    But I want pop a window to open or save the report after the WF finished work.
    Could  BIP AttachEntity Report Generation  do that?
    I had similitude it seem same as BIP Report Gneration.
    Be appropriate to you if you can answer the question.
    Thanks,
    Wenqin

    Ok, let me guess, you are seeing an error that says an invalid printer was selected, right? Well there is a bug in your code but it has nothing to do with the printer that you have selected. Specifically you have some of the margin values set to zero -- which is invalid. The margins have to have a value of at least 1. In case you're interested, I followed down the logic and inside the print report VI the code, for some unknown reason (NI is checking into it), remapps an error code that correctly identifies invalid margins to report one that reports an invalid printer name. Apparently this was first reported in 2008.
    Verified this behavior of both LV2013 and 2014.

  • Report generation toolkit and signal express user step : problem of closing reference in "Stop" event

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to make a package of Vis to easily make Excel reports with Signal Express. I'm working on LabVIEW 8.2.1.
    I'm using the report generation toolkit, so I build a .llb from my project which contains all the hierarchy of my steps, but also the hierarchy of dynamic VIs called.
    I have made some steps, like "Open Workbook", "Write Data", etc.
    My steps run well, excepts one step : "Close Workbook".
    If my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Run" Signal Express event, I have no error, so my reference is properly closed.
    But if my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Stop" Signal Express event, I have an error "1", from "Generate Report Objectrepository.vi".
    I feel that I'm trying to use a reference which has been killed in the "Stop" step...
    I would like to know what exactly do Signal Express on "Stop" event and why my close function does'nt run well.
    Thanks,
    Callahan

    Hi Callahan,
    SignalExpress (SE for short) does the following on the Stop event:
    1. Takes the list of parameters that SE found on your VI's connector pane, and sets the values that the user set from the "Run LabVIEW VI" configuration page, if any.
    2. Then tells the VI that SE is running the Stop event by setting the Enum found on your VI's front panel. This in turn should produce some boolean values telling your VI to execute the Stop case.
    3. The VI is then run, with those values and states.
    4. SE checks to see if any errors where returned.
    5. Since this is the Stop event, SE releases the reference to the VI which it possesses.
    Questions for you would be, is the reference to your Workbook linked to a control on your connector pane, or held in a uninitialized Shift Register. If it's held in a Shift Register, SE would not be aware of it, and would not be able to affect that reference.
    Hope that helps. Feel free to post your LLB if it doesn't.

  • Error involving Report Generation Toolkit and Labview Run Time Engine

    Developed an application using LabVIEW 6.1 and LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.0.1. From there, tried to build a shared application for use with the LabVIEW Run Time Engine. The Run Time version functions properly until "New Report.vi" is called and then an error is generated, code 7, calling out "Open VI Reference in New Report.vi" could not be found. When building the application, I did include the "NI Reports Support" in the advanced installer options. The machine used for original development and application build is running Windows XP Pro and Office XP. Any suggestions??

    I am having the exact same problem but with LV 6.1 and M/S WORD 2000. It appears that the "New Report.vi" is trying to open "C:\APP.DIR\Word_Open.vi" and "C:\APP.Dir\Word_Open_Document.vi" by reference. The "OFFICE 2000.TXT" says that "_exclsub.llb and _wordsub.llb must be added as support files when building an application or a dynamic link library with the application builder." I added them as Support Files and I copied them to the "C:\TESTER\" where the TESTER.EXE is and I still get ERROR 7 in "NEW REPORT.VI" at VI OPEN REFERENCE.
    Do I need to make a "C:\TESTER\DATA\" sub-dir and put the support files there?
    I am building on MY COMPUTER on F: Drive on a network and transporting files to the real Tester.
    I displayed my App.Property of APP.DI
    R at start up and it is C:\TESTER\ ! How would my application know that "Word_Open.vi" and "Word_Open_Document.vi" are actually inside the _wordsub.llb?
    Any ideas ?

  • Report Generation Toolkit and Office 10 - build errors

    Using LabView 2011 and Report Generation Toolkit 2011.
    After installing Office 10, I would get build error for Excel-Print.Vi and Excel-SetCell.vi and build is then aborted.
    2011/vi.lib/addons/_office/_excelsub.llb/Excel-Print.vi.
    Says it is unable to save a vi without a block diagram.
    Uninstalled Office 10 and reinstalled Office 2003 and build went thru just fine.
    I can program using Excel 2003 and the compiled executable will work on another computer with Excel 2011 but once I install Office 10 on my LabVIEW computer I cannot build.
    Can't believe I could be the only one to experience this. Any workarounds?

  • Report Generation Toolkit and Labview 8 ?

    I currently have Labview 7.1 on my computer, and Labview 8.  I have installed the Report generation Toolkit 1.1.1, but when I try to open several of the excel and word vi's in labview 8, I get the error that "constants wired to case structures were changed to a hidden control to maintain compatibility with labview 7.1 and earlier".  And therefore the subvi's don't run.  Labview 7.1 doesn't have the toolkit installed, and I've even tried uninstalling 7.1 but nothing works.  How do I fix this?  Relinking to subvi hasn't work because it is not offered on any of the errored vi's or subvi's.  The broken wires are going into invoke node vi's, but I don't know how to fix them.  It doesn't allow me to rewire them.

    If you dont want to use it in LabView 7.1, Just make a mass compile with LabView8.0 on the directory of you package.
    It could solve a lots of that kind of problem.
    Be sure that you do net need it with your previous version.

  • Report generation toolkit and column

    Hello, i asked this question before, but this time i just needed some input..
    I originally asked, if i am doing various experiment sets and say each sets takes in about 1000 data points, and i have to do 50 such experiments continously i wanted to know if there was a way of arranging the data so that for each experiment is written in a different column, so i have 50 different column. Instead of the current one column with 50000 data points.
    I was kindly suggested various alternatives such as using arrays...now my querry is regarding something that i heard which involves Report Generation toolset.
    If i was to get this toolset, with this make my life easier interms of sorting my data out into different columns? I ahve also been
    told it will do all sorts of graphs and do pretty much everying thing falling short of making a cup of tea
    Now has any one had any experience in this type of porblem? or do i have to stick with the array solution. Incidently the reason why i have a niggling problem with arrays is that my programme is stricly no limited to just 50000 data for some runs i can decide to take more data in one set then the orther so building an array becomes problematic.
    Please let me know what you all think of this kind Regards

    Hello Mansoor
    If you want to write the data to an Excel spreadsheet there are several options available to you as well as the Report Generation Toolkit.
    I have posted some links to help and advice on performing this action using the toolkit, but also using the file I/O vi's and using active X.
    Have a look at these links and if you have any further questions please reply to this post.

  • Report Generation Toolkit and App Builder question..

    Hello,
    I am in process of modifying my test code for writing my data to Excel. When I first developed the tests I did not have the Report Toolkit of Excel so I built the ActiveX VIs I needed. Now since I have upgraded to 7.1.1 with the MSOffice Toolkit I am rewriting my test code to use the toolkit VIs as it seems to work much better and faster then what I had done.
    My question is this. Since I have my testcode distributed to multiple machines when I build my App, do I need to add every Dynamic VI within the toolkit to my App? if so is there and simple way to find exactly which dynamically called VIs are used within the toolkit VIs?
    Thanks

  • Report Generation Toolkit and Office XP and 2K

    Hello Everybody
    I am having few problems with running executable using Report Generation Toolkit on machine with Office 2000, which was compiled and build on machine with Office XP (toolkit also XP).
    There are many errors which pops up, but the very first one is that the "New Report.vi" can not open the existing Excel book.
    Is there any trick, which allows machines with Office 2k to run application build with Office XP?
    Thanks in advance.
    Pawel

    Hi Cin
    Yes, that is correct. The reason why I ask was how to find a solution so both XP and 2k can work in the same time.
    You are right that most of the features for XO and 2k are simmilar, but try to use XP to open w 2k workbook from excel, it will fail.
    cheers

  • Report Generation Toolkit and Applicatio​n Builder

    I am going insane trying to work this out.
    I am trying to build an EXE program using Application Builder. The program uses the Office Report Generation Toolkit.
    I have tried including the dynamic VIs into the project, both from the Development machine and from the CD. I still have the same problem : the application does not start Excel. It is like the commands go into a black hole. There isn't even an error message.
    I have attached my report VI for you to peruse. Any help is appreciated.

    Yes, Labview 8.2
    Office Toolkit = 1.1.1
    I have tried many combinations of what files are included, from just the top level VI, to every VI in the heirarchy tree (a major pain). I am now trying to rebuild the project from scratch and see if that does anything.
