Testing of reports

hi all,
can any one plz tell the best testing techniques for testing the reports that we have migrated from boxi r2 to bi 4.0.
thanks in advance.
-sheetal

Hi,
during a migration of Reports i always check the following
1. Runtime
    - Is it identical to the prior version? Maybe slower, Maybe faster?
2. Data
    - Is the Aggregation bringing up the same values as before? Like SUM, AVG, etc.
    - Are the values still the same and make them sense? This should check your Customer department
3. Layout
    - Is the Report still looking the same as before?
Part 3 could be tricky cause with BI4 we introduce a totally new Chart Engine.
Regards

Unit Testing in Report Generation

I am new to SAP-BW. looking as of how can Unit Testing be done in Reports. and any other kind of testing on reports.
any kind of information on report testing, how is it usually done would be real helpful.
thanks in advance

Hi Kavi,
As far as i have gathered knowledge in Report Unit Testing.these are the important points
you have four kind of unit testing to be done on the reports.
1.Security : This will include testing the functionality of the security module with regards to validation of user profile and that access to reports is provided based on user group profile. The users can be categorized into the following types and this information can be obtained from Report Technical Design Document.
o     View a snapshot of a report generated earlier
o     Can execute report
o     Edit the report
2.User Experice Testing: basically how the report looks to user, the fonts, the titles, kind of obvios but important stuff.
3. Data Validation Testing: To see if the data we obtain in the reports is same as the data present in the Source R/3 System. This can be done by taking some raw data from source system and cross checking with the reports. This can be done manually, I dont have any idea to automate this process.I am not sure if automation can be done. This is a painful process but, very important step and crutial in unit testing.
4. Navigational Testing: This is basically testing all the drill down function, navigational and Report to Report linkage. This info we can get from the technical design document for the reporting. and corresponding Test Scripts can be prepared from it.
As you can see The template will be consisting of all the above said columns, Entry and Exit Criteria and corresponding people who are going to perform the test.(Onsite/offsite).
For each case a testscript can be prepared and can be used multiple times whenever report has to be tested.
I do have a template.BUt i need to edit it somewat before mailing.Do tell me if u need one...or is this information sufficient.
Hope it Helps

A way to test if report server work correctly

There is a way to test if report server work correctly ??

Ciao vampiro, did you try, from your browser
http://<server name or IP address>:7777/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=<your reports server>
or did you try to run test report from apps home (http://<server name or IP address>:7777)
The port 7777 could be different, depending on your installation.
If the above do not work, then for some reason the reports server could be down : did you try to restart it ?
BTW, what is your OS ?

Testing ABAP Report

Dear All,
Let me know how to test a ABAP Report using Transaction SCAT/SECATT.
I have used SCAT to upload the data into SAP from legacy System but How to use it for testing a report.
I have tried but couldn't able to find the solution.
Regards,
Vikas

Hello,
Here is the step by step guide :
-> Start SECATT transaction in eCATT system
-> In the test script column enter the script name and move to the change mode
-> Enter the traget system details where you want to test your ABAP report in the attributes tab of the script
-> Click on the Pattern button and select either TCD REC or SAPGUI REC option
-> Then enter the transaction SE38 in the pop-up window in the place to enter the transaction
-> The control is taken to SE38 transaction in the target system entered , here enter the ABAP report name and click on the execute button
-> Now you will be asked to enter some input values , enter the values and then press execute again. Note you can parameterize the input values so that you can pass different set of values into the ABAP program from the script , so as to test the ABAP script for different set of values.
-> Once the recording is complete , stop the recording.
Hope it answers your question.
Thanks and Best regards,
Ajay

Testing the Reports after Migration

Post Author: vreddy
CA Forum: Migration to XI R2
Hi all,
Can any one tell me how can we test the reports after migration from BO 6.5 to BOXIR2?
Thanks,
Reddy

Hi Sripathy
Together with the guy informing me of the problem we reproduced the error situation.
The errormessage displayed at the screen is: "RWRBE60.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is created." We looked at the local hard drive of the PC to find some extra error information. The only things we found were a crash dump file user.dmp and and another file with dump information. From the dump-info I can see that the proces rwrbe60 caused an access violation and crashed. To me it seems now that there is no Oracle error log, but it is a Windows error message.
I fear now that the question is becoming more a windows question than an Oracle question. Still it is an Oracle process causing the access violation. So any tips how to continue are welcome. I do not have experience to read windows crash dump files. What could cause the access violation? Could it be a missing font file, or is it necessary to set write access to some specific directories, or other?
regards,
Henk

Users of non-English interface: please test and report bug to Apple

interesting observation in the German interface:
set iMovie prefs to 'show no frames' in time ('9s' instead of '9:00')
in the German interface, the abrv. for second in use is 'sek' ('9sek')
these two extra letters obviously kill some internal math of iMovie:
entering '53' into the Inspector results in 10min = max length
'53,00', '53:00'. '00:53', '0,53' - no difference!
setting iMovie to English on same Mac results in correct handling.
in case, your interface language arbreviates 'seconds' to something more than just one letter, please test it.
in case it results into the same '10min' error, please report at:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/imovie.html

Back when lots of folks used dialup, there was the issue of call-waiting - it would disconnect an active connection. There was a key combination you could punch into the phone to disable it - Google showed me how:
http://www.yashy.com/star.codes.html
*70 Call Waiting Disable (Per Call)
So call waiting might be the problem. Or phone line quality might also be it. You can probably get your local provider out to test the line quality, but I don't think they ever claimed the voice line would have a level of service guaranteed good for data transmission. But it seems unlikely that the modem would be the issue - if it works, i'll work until it completely dies. I have no idea how you might go about testing a modem these days.

How can i save my Test Stand report as the serial Number?

Hi, I'm using TestStand 3.0 and LabVIEW 7.0 I want to know how i can save my TestStand generated report as the UUT serial number. Thanks

Hi arj,
Within the Report Option in the Report File Pathname Tab is a control 'New UUT Report File for Each UUT'. Enabling this will include the Serial number in the Report Filename. Unfortunately its formated into the filename as '[serial number]'.
This is done in a step in the Process Model - Test UUTs or Single Pass. This step is called 'Determine Report File Path' which is a dll call to a function in modelsupport2.dll. This returns the full pathname to the report and stores in Locals.ReportFilePath.
So you have the option either modify the Locals.ReportFilePath or modify the Function in modelsupport2.dll and rebuild the DLL.
Hope this helps

Custom Object Test query/report

Is there a way to run a query or get a report for the scripts containing Custom Object Tests?

Hello Jim,
As far as I know there is no way to do this.

CO Allocation test run report development (About program AL01800R )

At first, user will use T-CODE KSV5 to execute the cost center distribution.
After that, they want to output a report to analyse the distribution result.
We have an add-on report to realize it.
But now, user department need to output a same report just after KSV5 test run. (simulation report)
The data will not be stored in database after TEST RUN.
So we can't find the distribution result from the database.
We just found an useful function "k_allocations_run", and a program "AL01800R".
Does anyone have a solution to develop the report?
Thanks!
Vicky

Hi, Ali
Thank you for your reply.
The test run result isn't enough to support analysis.
we also need to link to other tables (like cost center group table etc.)
For the program AL01800R, If you never run the cycle in your system, you can't find it.
you have to run the cycle one time at least.

Vicky

SQL failover test for reporting

I have setup a mirror and failover for sql appv reporting.
does anyone know of a good way to test if the failover is working?
Thanks
Dave Kozlowski

Note that SQL Mirroring is not supported for the Reporting database (only for the Management DB):
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn343758.aspx
In this thread someone tried to do the same for Reporting as for Management, but this didn't work;
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/20b1d02d-7b94-4b9d-8dfe-d81df93dc65e/appv-5-reporting-database-sql-mirroring?forum=mdopappv
And here is an article that explains how to configure mirroring for the Managemnt DB a little bit more detailed (but also not for Reporting):http://www.sbcprojects.com/blog/93-how-to-get-your-app-v-5-database-high-available-with-sql-mirroring.html
So I'd say that it perhaps doesn't work that easy. Actually I didn't try how the client behaves if the Reporting Server can't talk to the DB. I'd expect that the Reporting Server returns an error to the client if RepSrv can't access the database - so the
client gets the info that the reporting data was not uploaded successfully. In that case, the client stores the usage data loally and just tries to upload it durig the next schedule... HA for the Reporting DB should not be necessary.

Test webi report for Mobile (iPad) with Xcode in a Mac

Hi everyone,
I need to develop some reports which will be visualized in an iPad.
I'm using a VM with Mountain Lion + Xcode. I know that Xcode is widely used by Mac developers. What I'm trying to achieve is the following:
1) Develop some webi reports for mobile, using MicroCharts, Scorecards, etc.
2) Test reports visualization without using a real Ipad (we don't have any).
Of course, no. 2) is the real problem. I'm trying to accomplish this using Xcode, anyone know the way? As far as I cocern, what I need to do is to give Xcode a proper URL (open document of developed report). Am I getting close?
Thanks in advance,
Pablo

Hi Pablo,
You can down the SDK for the SAP BusinessObjects Mobile app from the SMP. You can then use Xcode to generate an .ipa file.
Use the iOS simulator in Xcode to load the .ipa and then you will have the app installed.
Connect to you BI server with the app.
See here for info on using the iOS simulator https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/IDEs/Conceptual/iOS_Simulator_Guide/Introduction/Introduction.html

Failed Test Steps reported multiple times in Report

Running Multiple Numeric Limit Tests in a for loop, and when a test step fails, the result is reoprted multiple times in the report (sometimes repeated as many as 5 times for one failure). Thought it had something to do with the fact that it was a multiple numeric limit test, but each test only checks 2 limits. Also, sometimes the result appears indented in the report, almost like TestStand thinks it is starting a new section, in the middle of a test. Any ideas? Please advise.
Thanks,
GSinMN

Hi,
Which TestStand version and Report Format are you using? Please share the test sequence file if possible.
I executed the attached sequence file which has Multiple Numeric Limit Test with 2 limits in a for loop and generated ATML 5.0 report using tr5_horizontal stylesheet to display. The results appeared as expected in the report with failures shown for each iteration in the loop.

Sahana
