To view variants used in multiple reports

Hi all,
Is there any function module or report or transaction to view the variants used in multiple reports?
Our current process is to go into SM37, pull up the individual user, input the date, open the list of reports, u201CGo tou201D the variant and review the information.
Please help me to get the details of variants ?

Hi manju,
From table VARID you can find the list of reports using the same variant by passing the name of variant in field VARIANT.
To get the details about the variant you can use the FM RS_VARIANT_CONTENTS.
Here you can get the list of PARAMETERS, SELECTOPTIONS and there values also.

Can Oracle materialized view be used as crystal report datasource

Hi,
Can we use materialized view created in Orace 10g database as the data source of crystal reports.
I'm using Crystal reports Server 2008 V1 version. I'm unable to find the materialized view under my data connection. I can see only tables, static views and stored procedures.
Is there a way by which I can run my reports against a materialized view created in Oracle.
Thanks
Thomas EL

Hi Thomas,
Rather than doing all of this work around to access multiple databases/servers why not create a stored procedure to do all of this for you? Search the notes area for samples on how/what CR requires to use a SP in Oracle.
Advantages is this is done all server side and CR simply waits for the data to be returned. Even if you are using a BVM or connecting directly to the SP, both cases are server side. Database servers are much more efficient and optimized to run queries and filtering data. CR has to do the filtering on it's second pass and that causes performance delays.
Thank you

Prompt used as view selector for multiple reports

Hi All,
Can a dashboard prompt be used as View Selector for multiple reports? If yes, please let me know how?
Thanks
Sumita

Hi Sumita,
You can do this with Dashboard prompts, but it's a little tricky. I'll highlight the process below. Keep In mind I assume you have three reports already created and have three views: View 1, View 2 and View 3.
Phase I: The Dashboard Prompt
1. Create a new dashboard prompt.
2. Add any single column to your prompt. It doesn't really matter which one (just make sure nothing is prompted on it to be safe).
3. For the sake of this example, I'll assume we added column: "Test Folder"."Test Field"
4. Make sure your Operator is "is equal to/is in"
5. Make sure the control is "Drop-down List"
6. Change the Show to "SQL Results"
7. Write a SQL statement similar to the following (TEST =<your subject area>, "Test Folder"."Test Field" = <your column>):
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 1' END
FROM TEST
UNION
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 2' END
FROM TEST
UNION
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN "Test Folder"."Test Field" ELSE 'View 3' END
FROM TEST
**Note: The reason why we need to do the CASE statement is because every logical query needs at least 1 presentation column. The case statement is a way to include the presentation column, but since the statement 1=2 is never true, we always use the ELSE condition.
8. Set a presentation variable. Call it VIEW_PVAR
9. Have the Prompt default to Specific Value: View 1
10. Save the Dashboard Prompt and put it into the Dashboard with your reports.
Phase II: Filter Reports
1. Create a new Answer request
2. Bring in your test column twice
3. Change the formula (fx) on the second column to be: '@{VIEW_PVAR}{View 1}'
4. Now add a filter to the presentation variable column
5. Set the operator to "is equal to/is in' and set the value to: View 1
6. Save the Request as "View 1 Filter"
7. Change the value in the filter to: View 2
8. Save the Request as "View 2 Filter"
9. Change the value in the filter to: View 3
10. Save the Request as "View 3 Filter"
Phase III: Guided Navigation
1. Create three sections in your dashboard
2. Rename each section to: View 1, View 2 and View 3 respectively
3. For each of the sections, do the following:
3a. Click on properties
3b. Click on Guided navigation
3c. Set the Guided Navigation to the appropriate Filter report
4. For each of the three sections, do the following:
4a. Add in all three requests
4b. Click on the request properties and select Show and the appropriate view for that section
5. Save your changes to your Dashboard
Good luck and if you found this post useful, please award points!

How to view multiple reports using crystal reports 2008

Hi ,
I am working on vb6 project where in i am trying to generate reports using crystal reports 2008.
For this , i am making use of Interop Form Wrapper class in vb6.
I have a business requirement where in i need to view multiple reports on my screen.
please suggest me as to how this can be achieved.
Thanks in Advance
Regards,
Ramnath

Hi Ludek,
I am directly now using crystal report viewer control in my vb6 project.
As mentioned in previous mail, i have created a Interop Wrapper class over crystal report viewer control in .Net using visual studio 2008 and i am making use of wrapper class in my vb6 project.
I am able to access all the properties that have been defined in my Interop wrapper Class but the only stuff i need is to view multiple reports generated one after the another for a single button click Event.
Please find below the code that iam using to load and generate reports.
Note:
1. frm is the instance of my Interop Wrapper Class built over CR viewer control
2. All the user defined methods of Wrapper class that you see below will internally call the actual crystalreportviewer   properties defined in my Wrapper class
Say for e.g   frm.DisplayToolbar(True) will internally execute crystalreportViewer1.DisplayToolbar = True
frm.SetReportSource(strRptFilePath,0)
frm.SetSelectionFormula(strrecordSelectionFormula)
frm.DisplayToolbar(True)
frm.ShowExportOption(True)
frm.ShowPrintOption(True)
frm.ShowRefreshOption(True)
frm.ShowPAgeNavigateOption(True)
frm.ShowZoomOption(True)
frm.ShowParameterPanelOption(True)
frm.Show()
Thanks in Advance

Hyperion Smart Cut Session Issue streaming multiple reports at a time using

This is a lengthly post with details, Please review with Patience:
We are trying to integrate Workspace based web Analysis reports within our intranet portal, thru portlets (made from individual workspace smartcut link), so that users can customize their page as needed, Once they login thru intranet, Cookie is set and passed to succeeding smart cut links via secured http headers. This part is fine, but mainly running into issue with streaming several multiple web-analysis reports at a time,+ we are using Iframe to display and stream multiple individual reports on to one page, but unfortunately all Iframes are sharing one session rather than creating individual session, mostly because of limitation of current web analysis system architecture and IE browser behavior with sessions .
Which Hyperion reporting tool does allow to stream multiple reports at a time? ideally we want to create Iframe of each workspace report so that users can customize and pick portlets as needed. To stream multiple reports at a time.
Problem Description: Hypeiron Web Analsysis, Smart cut reports incorrectly rendering images and intermixing dash boards on POV changes upon multiple reports being diplayed at one time thru Iframe's, issue seem to mostly relate to Hyperion using single session rather to multiple session when displaying several web reports at a time.
Steps Needed To Reproduce:
User logs into workspace.
user click on expolore and able to view the report without any issues.
When right on any of the report and select properties.
Select the SmartCut url and paste it in the Internet explorer.
The webanalysis report opens without any issues.
Similarly user copies the smartcut url for a different report and paste the link on a different tab or new window of same browser.
The report on the first tab gets over written of the report of the second tab of the browser.
The issue happens when two different reports and opened on a browser with multiple tabs. The reports get over written.
Oracle development answer:
In the described scenario opening new browser window does not spawn a separate independent browser session. A new browser window is supplied with URL pointing to the same domain, so all browser cookies including the "ORA_WA_SID" (WA session cookie) are shared between the windows. But multiple application instances cannot run in the same browser session simultaneously because of session sharing. This is not actually a defect, but rather a limitation of current system architecture and browser behavior. And there is no way to fix it programmatically on the product side.

Hi MeHyper,
Your current arrangement puts most of the session handling and persistence on the client. This forces you to accept whatever the client decides to persist and propogate between browser elements (in this case iframes).
My approach would be to:
Consider coding your portlets to manage the sessions. Manage using a somewhat stateless strategy so that each request to the server requires a login and connect, retrieve, and disconnect. Each Iframe should access a different portlet url (or provide a different query) based on its content.
This way, in theory, you can invalidate the sessions and related cookies and update the various report elements independently.
Is smartview out of the question here?

How to create a variant used in SM30,View variant in Parameter transaction?

Dear Team,
I have a view V_TCURR. For which I would be creating a parameter transaction for transaction SM30 by filling the default Values section (VIMDYNFLDS-LTD_DTA_VR, VIEWNAME,TVIMV-VARIANT). The values for first two fields are obvious.
The question is on TVIMV-VARIANT How can we create a variant which can be used in tcode SM30.
Delving a little deeper show that these variants Obsolete since R/3 Release 3.1I: Selection variant for a table or maintenance view.
Since R/3 Release 4.0, there are view variants instead of selection variants.
The field only exists for reasons of backwards compatibility.
If thats is so, How do I use the same in parameter transaction..?
I have tried creating a view variant and use it parameter transaction but in vain..
Please help resolve my problem. I hope I am very clear. If still need any clarification, please get back to me.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Reagards,
Sai.
P.S. Though there are multiple quuestions on simlar subjects none of them has been either answered or is completely relevant to mine.

Dear Suman,
Thanks a lot for the answer. Actually the Tcode is getting created if I do what you have said me.
But when I run the tcode which was created by view variant created, I am not getting the desired details .
To be more clear..
Previously there was a variant (TMIMV-VARIANT) created with follwing criteria..
Table TMIMV.
TABNAME    VARIANT AS4POS            VIEWFIELD NEGATION OPERATOR     VALUE         AND_OR      TABIX
V_TCURR     ZTHB     1     KURST     NOT     EQ     M     AND     2
V_TCURR     ZTHB     2     KURST     NOT     EQ     DWBP     AND     2
V_TCURR     ZTHB     3     TCURR          EQ     THB     OR     4
V_TCURR     ZTHB     4     TCURR          EQ     USD     OR     4
V_TCURR     ZTHB     5     TCURR          EQ     US$          4
When we run tcode created by paramaeter transaction.. viewname as V_TCURR, TMIMV-VARIANT. I am getting the desired records for updation.
But if I do the same using View variant with the same selection criteria
Table            Field name     Operator      Comaparison AND/OR
                                                               Value
TCURR     KURST     NE     'M'     AND
TCURR     KURST     NE     'DWBP'     AND
TCURR     TCURR     EQ     THB     OR
TCURR     TCURR     EQ     USD     OR
TCURR     TCURR     EQ     US$
And the run the tcode created by using the view variant .. I am getting No entries found that match selection criteria...
Could you please help and let me know if I am missing any step.. Kindly also check from your side how this can be achieved.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Sai.

What is the use of variant in the alv report

hello all,
what is the use of variant in the alv report

Hi,
For Variants
follow the link:
http://help.sap.com/search/highlightContent.jsp
Variants allow you to save sets of input values for programs that you often start with the same selections. You can use them for any programs except subroutine pools (type S).

Variants: Overview
Use
Whenever you start a program in which selection screens are defined, the system displays a set of input fields for database-specific and program-specific selections. To select a certain set of data, you enter an appropriate range of values.
For further information about selection screens, see Working with selection screens in the ABAP User's Guide.
If you often run the same program with the same set of selections (for example, to create a monthly statistical report), you can save the values in a selection set called a variant.
You can create any number of variants for any program in which selection screens are defined. Variants are assigned exclusively to the program for which they were created.
You can also use variants to change the appearance of the selection screen by hiding selection criteria. This is particularly useful when you are working with large selection screens on which not all of the fields are relevant.
Reports, module pools, and function groups may have several selection screens. It is therefore possible to create a variant for more than one selection screen.
Variants are an interface between the user and the selection screen. They can be used both in dialog and in background mode, although their uses are slightly different.
Variants in Dialog Mode
In dialog mode, variants make things easier for the user, since they save him or her from continually having to enter identical values. They can also make the selection screen easier to read, because you can use them to hide input fields. Running an executable program with a variant containing an optimal set of values also reduces the capacity for user error. The optimized database selections speed up the runtime of the program.
Variants in Background Mode
Variants are the only method for passing values to a report program in a background job. Therefore, when you run a program in the background, you must use a variant (or SUBMIT... VIA JOB). To avoid you having to create a new variant each time you run the report, ABAP contains a mechanism allowing you to pass variable values to variants. See variable values in variants.
To ensure that an executable program is always started using a variant, you can specify in the program attributes that the program may only be started in this way.
Features
Creation of variants
Display, change, copy, print, and delete variants
Use and definition of variables in variants
Variable date calculation
User-specific fixed values
Fixed values in table TVARV
You access the variant maintenance tool from the initial screen of the ABAP Editor. Enter the name of the program, select Variants in the Sub-objects group box, and then choose Display or Change.
Functions
The above screen allows you to:
Create variants
Display the variant directory
Display and change values and attributes
Copy, delete, and rename variants
Before creating a new variant for a program, you should check whether you can use or adapt an existing variant instead.
There are two ways to display variants:
Position the cursor on the Variant field on the initial screen and press F4. The following dialog box lists all of the available variants:
Choose Variants ® Directory on the initial screen:
Creating Variants
Prerequisites
You must have defined one or more selection screens for the relevant program. The program may have any type except type S.
Procedure
On the initial screen of the ABAP Editor, enter the name of the program for which you want to create a variant, select Variants in the Sub-objects group box, and choose Change.
On the variant maintenance initial screen, enter the name of the variant you want to create.
Note the naming convention for variants (see below).
Choose Create.
If the program has more than one selection screen, a dialog box appears in which you can assign the variant to one or more screens. The dialog box does not appear if the program only has one selection screen. In this case, the selection screen of the program appears straight away.
If there is more than one selection screen, select the screens for which you want to create the variant.
Example:
If you choose Variant for all selection screens, the variant also applies to any selection screens that you create after creating the variant.
Otherwise, the variant only supplies values to the selection screens that you select in the list.
Choose Continue.
The (first) selection screen of the program appears.
If your program has more than one selection screen, use the scroll buttons in the left-hand corner of the application toolbar to navigate between them. If you keep scrolling forwards, the Continue button appears on the last selection screen.
Enter the required selections, including multiple and dynamic selections.
Choose Continue.
Result
When you have finished, an overview screen appears (ABAP: Save Attributes of Variant), on which you can enter the attributes of your variant and save it.
Note that when you create a new variant, you must enter both values and attributes.
Names of variants: Names can consist of up to 14 alphanumeric characters. The "% " character is not allowed. If you want the variant to be transported automatically with its program, you must create a system variant. The name of a system variant starts "CUS&" for customers, and "SAP&" for SAP system variants. You can only use the "&" character within this prefix in the name of a system variant. It may not occur in any other context. System variants are administered by the Workbench Organizer. Although you can create and access variants from any client, they are always stored in client "000".

Variant for multiple reports

Hi Experts,
Does anyone know if it's possible to create variants that serve for multiple reports? If so, how?
I have 10 very similar reports which use the same selection screen defined in an include for all of them.
Regards,
Simon

Hi,
It is not possible to create variant for multiple reports as it is said as
you must create a separate variant for each report and then save it with the report where the values will be used.

Can we use the built-in Row fetch for Multiple reports in a page?

I need to create a page with multiple report regions. Each of it is based on a table. Those tables are different. I somewhat remembered that we can NOT use the built in automatic row fetch process if there are multiple report regions, neither the built in DML process. You have to make your own fetch and insert/update/delete process if you intend to.
Also if I write my own row fetch and update processes, do I have to consider lock mechnism? or just simply write select and insert/update?
Any input is appreciated.

I think I found the answer. Would Scott or other gurus take a look at the thread and confirm it, in case the limitation is not in 2.0?
Re: automatic row fetch
What I am concered about is that the locking mechanism. If I have to write my own process to fetch and insert/update, other than the regular select and insert/update statements, do I have to put commit by myself, or htmldb can handle it automatically? Is there an example for this?
Thanks in advance.

Materialized view not being used in the report

I have had a materialized view (MV) for a particular report. Recently, the report definition has changed little bit, so the existing MV is not being used by the report anymore. I copied the code Discoverer's SQL Inspection and recreated the materialized view. But still it is not working. Obviously, I am missing something at the database level. Does anyone have any idea? The database is 9i and Discoverer is 9.0.2. Thank you!

The SQL that you see from the Inspect SQL option will provide you with the SQL that Discoverer sends to the database. The database then may do a query rewrite to point to an available materialized view if available. This rewrite won't be seen from the inspect sql option. You need to check at the database level to verify if a query rewrite did in fact take place.
You may want to check the section titled "Query Rewrite with Materialized Views" from Ch1 - "Introduction to the Optimizer" in the Oracle9i Database Performance Tuning Guide and Reference, Release 2 (9.2), Part Number A96533-02, available at http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96533/optimops.htm#37287

Hi Bharathi,
The Excel Insert graph function takes in only 2d arrays as inputs. Since arrays can only have numeric values, any table with a null string is read as 0. Now to get a plot like you mentioned, you could read the table and replace blank Strings as NaN. NaN values in an array when plotted do not appear in the excel sheet. For reference I have attached a sample vi to help you understand.

I want to use spiceworks to report on the status of bitlocker across multiple

I want to use spiceworks to report on the status of bitlocker across multiple customer sites and domains, I didn't want to use MBAM as it is complicated and I just wanted to report if bitlocker was enabled or not.
There have been a lot of discussions but I was looking for some thoughts and experiences that were concise on the whole process ie how to implement spiceworks across multiple sites, and then into the reporting. Or is that too much to ask in one discussion?
Thanks!
