Struggling to create reports with dynamic names.... need help

Hi everyone
The reports that I create need to be named with dynamic content from the database. I did try to find if such an option exists in oracle portal, but alas to no avail. My report templates are going to be the same , but as the report content changes so should the report title. Does anyone has a solution to my problem
Thanx in anticipation

sorry ..it was silly of me ... i just found out the solution

How to create report with dynamic columns with static row labels

Hi All,
I am creating one report as per attached format. I have labels on the right side of the report
and data in 3 columns. The data is taken dynamically from the command query.
It gets data from 3 different result sets/command queries.
I tried creating the report horizontally instead of vertically, but the logo image I am not able to rotate in 270degrees.
Can anybody tell me how to create the report...??

Hi Abhilash,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Actually the problem is with the image, as I am not able to rotate 270 degree. Crystal report cannot support the rotation of image.
i have another problem, I have to create a report in which
Lables are fixed on the left side of report and 3 columns per portrait page. Those columns are
dynamically created and shown in the report.
The format is like the above. Can you please help me in doing this report, as I tried it doing
with CrossTab. I am really stuck to this report.

Create Folder with the name of expense report number in SHAREPOINT ?

Hi All,
iExpence - In expense report confirmation page. There is custom link.
Requirement
When user click on link, system should create folder with the name of expense report number in SHAREPOINT and copy copies of expense receipts in the created folder in SHAREPOINT.
Please suggest.
Thanks,

OAF no api as such for this kind of customization. Rather try developing some web service or something similar which can be invoked from the custom link to do the job.

How to create user editable Crystal Report with dynamic dataset

What I would like to achieve:
A program loads a report in runtime updates list of database fields (possibly includes sample data), open report in "Crystal Reports 2011" (or 2008) where user customizes report and saves it. Later on the program loads the report, fills actualized data and displays it in .net report viewer.
What I do:
CrReport = New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
CrReport.Load(TemplateFilename)
Dim Results As DataTable
DataTable is filled from a database
CrReport.SetDataSource(mResults)
CrReport.SaveAs(NewReportPath, True)
The NewReportPath is opened in the default program.
What are the problems
The report is open in preview mode (not in design).
When the field is added to the report the designer asks for XML datasource on preview.

The short answer is that it is not possible. I broke the question to other two: How to save a report that it opens without preview? and How to create user editable Crystal Report with dynamic dataset, where it is possible to find details. Key answer is Re: How to create an editable previewable report?

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?

How to generate report with dynamic variable number of columns?
I need to generate a report with varying column names (state names) as follows:
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM States ;
I get these column names from the result of another query.
In order to clarify my question, Please consider following table:
CREATE TABLE TIME_PERIODS (
PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50) PRIMARY KEY
CREATE TABLE STATE_INCOME (
     NAME     VARCHAR2 (2),
     PERIOD     VARCHAR2 (50)     REFERENCES TIME_PERIODS (PERIOD) ,
     INCOME     NUMBER (12, 2)
I like to generate a report as follows:
AK CA DE FL ...
PERIOD1 1222.23 2423.20 232.33 345.21
PERIOD2
PERIOD3
Total 433242.23 56744.34 8872.21 2324.23 ...
The TIME_PERIODS.Period and State.Name could change dynamically.
So I can't specify the state name in Select query like
SELECT AK, AL, AR,... FROM
What is the best way to generate this report?

I'm getting the below issue when I try to deploy a report with Dynamic parameters, when I deploy it with static parameters I'm not getting this issue.

I’m getting the below issue when I try to deploy a crystal report with Dynamic parameters in BI Launch Pad, when I deploy the same report with static parameters I can deploy and run it. I have Restarted the BI server, still the issue exitno use. kindly help me on this issue.
“This error occurred: Adding Crystal Report "CrystalReport1.rpt" failed. The server with kind rptappserver returned an error result. Failed to copy the report file to the report object. Refreshing the report object properties might have failed. Failed to read data from report file CrystalReport1. Reason: Failed to read parameter object”.

BO does not run dynamic params through the report as would happen without BusinessObjects (BO) or Crystal Reports Server (CRS). When you publish a report with dynamic parameters to BO/CRS, the prompt is published to the repository so that it can be accessed through the Business View Manager (which can be installed as part of the client tools). In order for this to work a couple of things need to happen:
1. You need to be sure that you check the "Update Repository" box on the Save As screen the first time you publish the report.
2. Your BO/CRS user needs to have "view" access to the Crystal2013ReportApplicationServer in the Servers section in the CMC - in fact, the Everyone group should be given view access to the server in order for dynamic prompts to work correctly.
3. In the Business View Manager, the Administrator user needs to give your user, or, even better, a Crystal Developers group full control access to the "Dynamic Cascading Prompts" folder.
Best practice for dynamic prompts in a BO/CRS environment is to actually create the prompts in the Business View Manager. This will allow you to create a single data connection that can be reused and also create lists of values such that the same list or prompt can be reused by multiple reports. If you just create the prompts in Crystal, you will end up with multiple data connections to the same database, the prompts will use the whole query for the reports to get the dynamic values instead of just a focused query to the lookup table that contains the values, and there ends up being lots of duplication and chaos.

Recive a file with dynamic name

Hi All,
I want to receive a file with dynamic name containing date stamp to it.... eg File_20080123.txt , File_20080122.txt etc.
Can anybody suggest how to do it?
Thanks,
Atul

Atul,
Are u using mapping program in ur interface? If yes you can go ahead with ASMA + Dynamic Configurations for renaming the file.
Have u tried this option?
See the below Solution
Check the ASMA File for both sender/receiver channels.
Write the below code UDF in mapping program
//Get Input date. Don't pass anything to this UDF except the Date.
//Map the output to the root node of the target.
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container.getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String fname = conf.get(key);
String ret = fname"_"Date
return "";

Create Report with CR4E and XML Data Source

Please help me with a tip.
Thanks

After Installing CR4E Version 2 the code snippet for creating a XML-report not works as JSP. Has anywhere a hint to resolve the problem or a complete JSP-file?

How to create directories with same name in different schemas

I have two schemas on the same database.
I am trying to create directories with same name, but different paths in both the schemas.
When i created the directories in second schema, the directory paths of the first schema are automatically changed to the second path.
Is there any solution to create directories with same name, but different path in two different schemas on the same database.
Thanks,
Sridhar.

Hi,
>>When i created the directories in second schema, the directory paths of the first schema are automatically changed to the second path.
If you have removed the REPLACE clause of your create statement, then you would see that is not possible.

FTP Activity - mget multiple files with dynamic names

Hello All
Hope all is well.
I was wondering if there was a way to configure FTP activity to transfer multiple files with dynamic names from source location at daily intervals.
For example, my source files are affixed with date values (source_filename_<mmddyyyy>_<hh>.txt):
source_filename_12252009_00.txt
source_filename_12252009_06.txt
source_filename_12252009_12.txt
source_filename_12252009_18.txt
What I would like my process flow to do would be to download just these 4 files once daily based on a dynamic ftp script as follows:
open ${Remote.Host}
${Remote.User}
${Remote.Password}
cd ${Remote.RootPath}
prompt off
mget ????????
quit
In DOS batch script you would have the mget command with a wildcard as:
mget source_filename_%DATE:~0,2%%DATE:~2,2%%DATE:~4,4%*.txt
How does one go about implementing this in OWB? Does it require a user defined substitution varilable of some sort?
FYI, I am using version 10gR2.
Cheers.

Hi ,
If you are able to achieve your objective from a DOS batch script then you can call that script for an User Defined Activity in OWB process flow .
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Sutirtha
