Tip: adding metadata for customized reporting

Users sometimes build their own custom reports around dimensions specific to their company. For example, a bank may want to know about financial data elements that are high priority, but violate completeness rules. You can do this with Data Insight 11.5.1.1.
Simply have your Data Insight administrator choose weights, dimensions, priorities, and so on in their Data Insight UI. All of the users can choose Rule Classifications when they edit/create a rule and specify the appropriate items. This metadata is stored in the repository, which you can easily query for custom reports.
For more details, check the Data Insight User's Guide. Enjoy!

Hi,
I hope you wont mind me asking for the steps on how to do this.
The customized data source which i had obtained from the ecc6 is zskat. And the local language which are actually being maintained in the R/3 FI-GL. The following fields in zskat datasource are:
KTOPL     Chart of Accounts
MCOD1     Search Term for Matchcode Search
SAKNR     G/L Account Number
SPRAS     Language Key
TXT20       G/L account short text
TXT50       G/L Account Long Text
If i am not wrong, SPRAS would be the key to the language right? I found that it is in the table T002, but again, how would i know which one would be the correct text?
Since the language translation had been maintained in the source system, i guess i wont need to use the flat file option do i?
Should I find the text data from the source system and load as you had advised? Should I do it through DTP and so on?
Could you show me some steps by steps if possible? Simple one if possible.
Cheers
Tommy

Transaction code for Custom report

Hi,
How to create transaction code for Custom report ?
the custom report is a drilldown report of COPA, which can seen in tcode FDI3.
then how to add this new transaction to the menu path Easy assess->FI->AR->Information system->Reports->customers:items.
Thanks,
Swetha

Hi Swetha,
There is a special way to assign tcodes to such reports. Normally you create the report via report painter/writer. These reports are part of library and report group.
Create the tcode in SE93. Then at the bottom of the screen you would find option to specify report group, report name, variant to lauch with. Don't have system to specify the exact way of specifying, if you need I can provide on monday. You can take some existing COPA standard report and check from SE93.

Incompatibility for custom Report is not working properly

Hi Gurus,
Need your help to diagnose the issue here.
The problem here is as under
We have a custom report CP1 which fills a table T1 during the process (table is truncated in the begining of the procedure). This CP1 is set incompatible to itself so that table architecture will work properly.
but the problen here is the next run starts ( 2sec, 5 secs or 10 secs) prior to the actual completion of the last run.
the data is as
CONCURRENT_ REQUEST ACTUAL_START ACTUAL_COMPLETION_
PROGRAM_ID ID                DATE     DATE
138361     3033673     7/3/2012 10:31:46 AM     7/3/2012 10:57:13 AM
138361     3033671     7/3/2012 10:28:47 AM     7/3/2012 10:31:42 AM
138361     3033670     7/3/2012 10:25:22 AM     7/3/2012 10:28:48 AM

138361     3033665     7/2/2012 7:05:10 PM     7/2/2012 7:07:15 PM
here as you see the req 3033670 starts @7/3/2012 10:25:22 AM whereas the req 3033669 ends at 7/3/2012 10:25:37 AM (though we have terminated the 3033669 ) similarly for 3033670 and 3033671.
the following query is giving 1 row
select * from FND_CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_SERIAL
where RUNNING_CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_ID = 138361 is
We have bounced the CM after setting the incompatibility as per the
Setting up Incompatibility Rules for Custom Reports [ID 107224.1] suggested by Hussein on this forum.
This is happening on our prod env. kindly suggest something.
We are on 12.1.1 (r12).

Hi Srini,
We have raised a SR with oracle for this it seems to be a bug in 12.1.1 release I will update the same once I got any fix or patch from oracle.
from the intial investigation it seems to be that the imcompatibility wit itself feature is not working as expected.
Also this is the latest case
CONCURRENT_
PROGRAM_ID REQUEST_ID ACTUAL_START_DATE ACTUAL_COMPLETION_DATE COMPLETION_TEXT
150364     3036174     7/3/2012 4:55:03 PM     7/3/2012 4:57:04 PM     Normal completion
150364     3036178     7/3/2012 4:55:57 PM     7/3/2012 4:57:47 PM     Normal completion
150364     3036181     7/3/2012 4:57:27 PM     7/3/2012 4:58:09 PM     Normal completion
the request id 3036178 should have been started after the completion of 3036174 ie after 7/3/2012 4:57:04 PM but it actually starts 7/3/2012 4:55:57 PM
hope this give the better understanding for the scenario here.

Modification assistant for customer reports

Hi,
How to enable modification assistant for the reports in customer namespace ?
Regards,
Rafal Olechowski

sorry for the late reply.
No You can not do it through Modifictaion Overview for Custom reports, unless and untill its an standard SAP program.
Might be there any standard functions which could help you, but am not sure of this.
And as i said the version management and the version comparision can help you know the changes done in any report. in the version management only you can find the version comparision based on the requests.

Export Metadata for Deski Report failed with Metadata Integrator

Hi everybody,
We installed 2 weeks ago BusinessObject Data Integrator 3.0. As we also have BusinessObject XI 3.0, we have installed the component Metadata Integrator on our BOXI 3.0 server. We configured it successfully and the Metadata Integrator program was added to our BOXI repository.
Then, we executed the Metadata Integrator program from the CMC console. The job run successfully but when we looked at the log file we realized that the program was not able to create the metadata for the BO Deski reports in our BODI repository whereas it was able to do it for our BO Universes. Then when we access the Impact and Lineage Analysis tool from the BODI management console, we can only see the metadata for our BO Universes but not for our Deski reports !!
Start universe collection: 1 universes to process.
Universe collection progress: 1 of 1 completed
Desktop Intelligence document collector thread started.
Start Crystal report collection. 0 reports to process.

Any ideas ?!

Helo,
The "Member/Alias" problem is solved by using the command "REPALIASMBR" and the "parent/child" is solved in two steps:
1 - Use the command "INDENTGEN" to indent on your flat file
2 - Run an custom script (in my case PERL) on your file to transform that "indent" into parent child (the member indented is the parent of the previous ones)
Another solution is to use "OlapUnderground Outline Extractor" that do all that work for you.

hope that helps.

BACK button functionality to be changed for custom report in ITS screen

Hi all,
I am working on SRM 5.0 with INTERNAL ITS.I have created a custom report and a transaction code for the same.Now in the SRM Web menu,I have provided a link for this report.
Now i can see all the std menu options like BACK SYSTEM CANCEL as buttons in the web screen.However when i click on the BACK button,it takes me to the SAP EASY ACCESS MENU screen as we see in SAPGUI.
My reqt is that on click of the BACK button,i need to show the HOMEPAGE of the SRM.Is this possible?If so,how?
All inputs will be highly appreciated and rewarded.

Hello!
There are several possibilities how to call transaction:
- You can call it as service (that is what you do when you test it from SICF)
- You can call it through service (or alias) WEBGUI (not using service for the specific transaction to call it)
If you are calling it through WEBGUI then parameter ~SINGLETRANSACTION should be added to service (or alias) of WEBGUI. And there should be added also Log Off URL (in SICF). At this case it should navigate back to the URL which is specified in SICF.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Rorijs

Template for Customized Reports

Where will I find templates for customizing forms and reports in OraApps11i.

Naren,
Another option is, if you want to FORCE global stylesheet for ALL users. You can update the WebIDefaultStyleSheet.css located in \SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\images\ folder.

Color setting for custom reports in Grid Control

I created a report in GC (chart from SQL) which works fine.
I like to adjust the colors for the report. Is there any possibility to do this?

Which version of EM are you using? The native reporting tool does not support changing colors.
In EM 12, we added support for Oracle BI Publisher which is a more advanced reporting tool and allows more design options.
More details here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-publisher/overview/index.html

Returning User Password in Java code for custom reports

Hi I'm doing a custom report and for the life of me I can't seem to find the password field in the database. :(
Anyways I'm thinking maybe I can use java code to return the password and then using the decrypt password function. Could someone please shed some light on this!!!
Note: I need to return the User password using java code and not XPRESS code. It would be best if someone either shows me how you can get the password using a java method or tell me where the User password is stored as I'm going crazy trying to find it in the DB!!!
Thanks in advance!!!

well... not sure what your Java code does. But if you can get the WSUser object for each user, you could call getPassword on the object to get the user's password

Metadata Management Custom Reports

Does anyone know where there is documentation on configuration or usage of the Metadata reports available in Information Steward?
I am prompted for login credentials to the repository but nothing that I try works. To make things worse, it seems to cause Tomcat to shut down.
In the versions of Metadata Management used with Business Objects XI3.1, you had to go to the reports to configure the JDBC connections for the reports. I can't find any documentation on where the reports are stored much less on how to configure the connection to the Metadata Management repository database.
I am running Information Steward 4.2sp2 hosted on Information Platform Services 4.1sp3.

Hello again,
I am still having trouble linking the data from GL. Specifically GL_JE_LINES and AP/AR values.
Currently trying to link invoice details to GL details and Accounted CR/DR do not match up with the invoices and are sometimes repeating for different invoices.
Upon checking, the values for GJ_JE_LINES repeat when I include the invoice details, but if I comment them out, they are okay.
I suspect that there is something wrong with my link between the XLA and GL tables, but I could not narrow it down.
I have tried looking it up in Google but there is nothing I found that is remotely helpful.
Any helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jovelyn
