Supporting drilldowns in BIP reports defined in Web Layout Template Editor

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to show a table in a BIP Report defined in a web layout template editor and within this report, if there is drilldown on one of the columns, we would want to display more details in an additional column to be displayed afresh. Also, we have a requirement to display the same whenever there is a selection from a report prompt. In addition, is such a drill down feasible from within a graph? Is this achievable? We know this is feasible in OBIEE - not sure about BIP. Any pointers in this direction is appreciated!
Regards

Hi Sripathy, I can't thank you enough for the help !!! We looked for all kinds of documentation and was never able to find exact information.
Also, do you mind if we email you if we run into more problems ? We are new to this. If you think it's ok, my email is [email protected] If not, thanks again, at least this will get me started.

Report 10g in Web Layout

I've configured forms and reports server 10g. Forms are working fine. However report is not running in web layout. I'm getting the following error message in web browser.

Can anybody help me about this?

Ok,
first of all are you running your reports on the iAS or OC4J of iDS?
second are you running on windows or linux or unix ...
if running on iAS are you trying to run your report with the in-report server?
If so create your own standalone report server and integrate it in your iAS console with the addNewTarget command
Message indicates that your reports server is not running smoothly , can you access your ias admin console?

Report Web Layout

I am using Oracle 9iDS Report Builder
I have built a report that is supposed to generate data in Arabic. Once i generate it as a paper layout the characters, whether the numbers or letters, are displayed correctly.
The PROBELM is when i run the report as a WEB LAYOUT, the arabic letters only are displayed in English, not as fuzzy characters, normal English characters as the ones i am writing now, only they are capital and include brackets (, or ).
There is no problem with the browser language settings, as it runs web pages in arabic. Also, i have set the NLS_LANG to the arabic.
Notice that when i run the same forms in Arabic in retrieves and accepts arabic characters correctly.

iam facing the same problem as
I'm using Report Builder 9.0.0.0.33, Oracle Developer Suite10g 9.0.4.0.1, Oracle Database 10g Release 2, and NLS_Lang is American_America.AR8MSWIN1256
I have two problems
1- I have a report which retrieve data from database, these data contains Arabic words. Arabic characters can display properly on Paper Layout. However, when I run report on Web Layout, Arabic characters are changed to ?????? characters
2- When I make a new report and change in its prosperities like format mask, fonts, and color, these changes can display properly on Paper Layout. However, when I run report on web Layout, these effects doesn't appear at all.

How to call the JSP(Web layout) instead of paper layout...

Hi,
Iam using Reports 10g. I have created a simple employees report. I have added a listbox in the jsp page by adding small Html and javascript code like below.
<form action="http://www.wwt.com/reports/rwservlet?10000_reports_listing&p_extranet=p_extranet" name="First" method="post">
<select name="p_extranet" onChange="First.submit()" >
<rw:foreach id="RGSOURCE" src="G_SOURCE">
<rw:getValue id="mysource" src="SOURCE"/>
<option value=""><%= mysource %>
</rw:foreach>
</select>
</form>
When I run this report in the report builder as Web layout, Listbox is displayed with values inside.
But when I move it to Apps server and run it through URL,
listbox is disappeared. I think report is running the Paper layout instead of weblayout ??????????
Could you please tell me what is the problem and How to force the Weblayout or JSP to run ?
Thanks.

Hi,
You are running a jsp report through rwservlet. In this case paper layout will be displayed. You have to deploy your jsp as web report to get the web layout. Please refer to the doc below, which describes how to deploy the web report.
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B10314_01/pbr_run.htm#1011901
To run the jsp report, URL may look like
http://www.wwt.com/reports/<jsp name>?<parameter list>
Hope this helps

Running in Web Layout

Hello,
I created the Oracle 9i report as .RDF file, selecting to print both web and paper layout. The paper layout runs fine.
However, when running a Web Layout from Reports Builder - I get a blank Internet Explorer page, and nothing else. Can you please suggest what I need to do in order for the proper information to be displayed?
I appreciated.
Slava

Hello Slava,
The output you see when running to web from Reports Builder is controlled by the web source of your report. Please take a look at your web source and confirm whether that the reports JSP tags are indeed present to fetch the data and format the web output.
Also, note that if you want to deploy your report using its web layout, you would need to save it as a JSP, as only JSPs can be deployed directly over the web.
RDF files can be run over the web only using rwservlet, and doing so will cause the output to be formatted using the report's paper layout instead of it's web layout.
Thanks,
The Oracle Reports Team.

Problem with "Run Web Layout" using own template

When I run a report (using Run Web Layout) which uses my own template (a modified version of rwblue.tdf), it outputs a plain page on the browser (as though it has no template).
When running the same report (using Run Paper Layout), the output is as it should be.
Can anyone help? Thank you in anticipation.

Hi John
Take a look at Reports product site on otn site. It has an example on how to create a web template for Reports Web View. In addtion to tdf file, for web layout, you need to have a .css file as well as a html code template.
Hope this will help.
Thanks

Paper or web layout which is better to use?

Hi again,
I am opening a new report using the wizard and it prompt me to: "choose the type of layout you want to generate"
a.) create both web and paper layout
b.) create web layout only
c.) create paper layout only
My question is when do I use web or paper layout? What is the use of each type or its advantage?
Thanks a lot

Passing multi-value parameter from BIEE dashboard to BIP report

It is possibile passing multi-value parameter from BIEE dashboard prompt to BI Publisher integrated report? (BIP report has a DB data source (not a answers))
Thank you
R.

Hi Rajkm,
In order to pass a multi-value parameter through the Reporting Services Web services, you need to define the same numbers of ParameterValue objects as the number of the values of the multi-value parameter being past into the report. The Name property
of these ParameterValue objects must be specified same to the parameter name.
I found a good FAQ article for this scenario:
How do I pass a multi-value parameter into a report with Reporting Services Web service API?:

Link from OBIEE Report to BIP Report

I have a requirement in which I need to Create a Report in OBIEE and the values used in the prompts to execute the report in OBIEE needs to be passed through a link to BIP and Execute BIP report for selcted parameters.
The Report is working fine and I am able to pass the parameters from OBIEE to BIP but to make BIP Report function correctly. I have to apply same set of Parameters in BIP and they are visible in the header of the BIP Report.
Now the Requirement is to hide those parameters from BIP Report and BIP Report should run for the selected parameters from OBIEE dashboard.. On doing this the values passed from OBIEE are not getting filltered in BIP report and BIP Report is running for all records. Is there an alternate way to achieve this?

if you are on 11.1.1.6 version you can do it i think .
check the link below
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E25178_01/bi.1111/e22257/whatsnew.htm#CHDCDBCA
Enhancements to Parameter Display Options
Enhancements to parameter display options include:
Support for radio button and check box display of values
Parameters that are defined as a menu in the data model can now be configured to display the menu options as a list of radio buttons or check boxes. Parameters configured to support one value support the option to display as radio buttons. Parameters configured to support multiple values support the option to display as check boxes.
New options for placement of parameters in the report viewer
Previously the report viewer always displayed the parameters in a horizontal region across the top of the viewer. In this release the display of the parameter region can also be configured in one of the following ways:
In a vertical region along the right side of the viewer
As a dialog
As a separate full page
New report viewer action button to show or hide parameters
This release adds an action button to the report viewer to enable users to hide or show the parameter region. This enhancement complements the new parameter display options. When report parameters are configured to display as a dialog or in a separate full page, the parameter display region is dismissed when the viewer displays the report. Use the Parameters button to redisplay the parameter region to make new selections.
Search added to menus
All parameter menus having more than a specified number of options provide a Search option. For more information, see Section 3.3.1.1, "The Parameter Search Dialog."
Option to remove the Apply button
Reports can now be configured to remove the parameter Apply button. In these reports the action of selecting a new parameter value automatically reruns the report.

Steps for Bi Reports based on WEB Services

Hi,
I am new to BI Publisher. I want to call a OBI report (developed using Answer) from BI Publisher using Web Services.
Can some please let me know the steps?
Thanks
Anil

Anil
Publisher supports calling an Answer report as a data source for a BIP report. Its just another data source fro BIP - no need to code to a WS its done for you.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187/T421739T518204.htm#4511629
this just gets the data from the Answer, you will still need the layout template to format it.
If you mean to call OBIEE to get the HTML output back. It could be done but you will have to handle it using an extension and then handle the returning HTML and convert it to XSL-FO instructions.

BIP Report in Siebel mobile is not working in languages other than English

Hi,
We have upgraded our Siebel from 7.8 to Siebel 8.1 and in that we have moved from Actuate to BIP Reports. We have created a customized report in which we have put in the Filters on '.rtf' file to show a particular set of data. This report is deployed for 3 languages : English (ENU), Portuguese (PTB) and Spanish (ESN).After deploying this report, on Web application, it is working fine for all the languages but we are facing an issue on mobile client, the report is only working fine in ENU but for other languages(PTB & ESN) it is failing (means the filter which we put on '.rtf' is not working on other languages).
Is anybody face this issue and what will be the solution for this?

Hi
I think you need to first translate the smartform into other languages. Before translation, it wont work.
Steps for translation:
1. goto Transaction SE63
2. in R3 Enterprise select form menu
Translation - ABAP Objects - Other long texts
3. select FS - SSF-Smart Form
4. Object Name: choose your smart form
5. select target language
6. press edit

Urgent: System.OutOfMemoryException in SQL Reporting Services 2005 Web Service

Hi All,
On a production server box with 8GB of RAM, we are running a windows service which retrieves image format bytes of a particular report which results in pages ranging from 10 to 300 using Reporting Services 2005 Web Service.
Problem is when image bytes are being retrieved by using Render method for a report with more than around 30-40 pages,
Report Web Service throws an exception of type System.OutOfMemoryException. This does not happen with reports with smaller pages. Please note that we are retrieving high DPI image and we have no option but to do so.
Since the production server has 8 GB of RAM and we have even enabled the 3GB switch in boot.ini of Windows Server 2003, This problem still exists.
I have already read the contents of the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/909678 but as i mentioned even the large physical memory does not seem to help and shortening the report is not an option.
Also note that large number of records is also not a problem as our application works fine when we generate excel files instead of images.
Follwing is the detailed exception that we receive.
System.OutOfMemoryException: Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.

Hi Hameer,
This error might be caused by the memory limit. There are two settings that will affect the memory configuration.
When you render a report through the Reporting Services Web service, the Reporting Services Web service obtains the "MemoryLimit" setting from the Machine.config file.
A scheduled report is rendered by the Report Server Windows service. The Report Server Windows service obtains the "MemoryLimit" setting from the RSReportServer.config file.
These values represent a percentage of physical memory. You can adjust them to change the memory limit.
If there are any more questions, please let me know.
Thanks.

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.
