UCM and Reporting Tools

Hey all,
Wondering if anyone has any info on reporting tools with UCM (apart from Content Tracker).
Has anyone integrated, say, something along the lines of Crystal Reports, or Cognos BI, with UCM? Difficult? Easy?
Appreciate any info!

Hi
Another option would be to use Oracle BAM . I have not used it but have heard reviews that it's pretty good and not too complex to set up as well .
Also there is a ready made solution for OBIEE - UCM which again is rich in features.
Thanks
Srinath

  • Call manager / UCM apps reporting tools?

    Hi guys,
    I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for any third party reporting tools to report on configurations of cisco ucm apps such as CUCM, CUC, UCCX, CUPS, etc etc.
    I'm thinking of getting something like this and want to know what my options are before i start evaluating them and I can't find very many options via google!
    Thanks

    hi,
    I am not a 100% sure what your looking for  but you can do some of this with CUOM (cisco unified operations manager) and cisco unified service monitor
    Here is a link for you (it's a case study)...

    I'm not aware of any third party apps for this although there may be some out there

  • Line Matrix / Dot Matrix Printers and Reporting Tools

    Hi,
    Recently i came across with a P7000 Line Matrix Printer. I need to take out more then 2000 pages at the end on each month.
    Previously here people were used to to send printout directly from FoxPro (yes that right!). That time all the reports come out from Line Matrix printer very fast and text are not distorted. And header was still in 'Bold' that remind me old DOS days.
    In most of the reporting tools that I used, all the text characters are distorted and the printouts take longer time 'n toner to came out, because they prints in grafix mode.
    Please let me know the Reporting tools that could handle/use the the dot matrix printers fonts and styles.

    I have worked with Reports 3.0 earlier and that was pretty fast with our dot matrix printer.
    AFAIR, you need to use Dot-matrix-happy fonts for the speed to be acceptable.

  • Reporting and Report tools for CCM

    Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some suggestions on reporting in CCM. To be a little more specific; for example if a few users complain they are tryin to make outbound calls, and getting a busy signal, is there any reporting tool that I can use to pinpoint the problem or eventually be able to say, hey we need another phone line, etc...
    Also. User calls can complains that the calls they are making lack in quality, how do I report on this or research?

    In order to determine if there are any records in the Structured Query Language (SQL) database, complete these steps:
    Choose Start > Programs > SQL > Enterprise Manager > Microsoft SQL Servers > SQL Server Group.
    Choose Publisher Server > Databases.
    Choose CDR > Tables. Right-click the CallDetailRecord table.
    Choose Open Table > Return All Rows. Determine if there are any records.
    If many records appear, complete this procedure to remove records from ART:
    Choose Programs > SQL Server > Query Analyzer. Log in and choose ART database.
    Run these queries:
    delete from Tbl_Load_History
    delete from Tbl_Dump_PkID
    delete from Tbl_Error_Id_Map
    delete from Tbl_Billing_Data
    delete from Tbl_Billing_Error
    delete from Tbl_Dump_CallDetailRecord
    delete from Tbl_Dump_CallDetailRecordDiagnostic
    This forces ART to get all the old CDRs into ART in the next scheduled loading time. By default, CDR data is loaded every day from midnight to 5 a.m.
    Restart the CDR Insert and DBL Monitor Services from CCM Administration > Application >Cisco CCM Serviceability >Tools > Control Center.
    Refer to the How can I manually purge the ART database? section of CallManager Issue Resolution with CDR and ART FAQ for more information.
    Note: Information deletes from the ART database but not from the CDR.
    Note: If you do not see any records, there are no CDR entries for that time and date range. Determine if conditions are met for CDR generation. CDR records are generated in these circumstances:
    The service parameters CdrEnabled and CallDiagnosticsEnabled are set to True.
    The call is established and has a talk duration greater than 0.
    The call fails and has a cause code that reflects the error.
    In order to set the service parameters, choose Service > Service Parameters, and make sure that the service parameters CdrEnabled and CallDiagnosticsEnabled are set to True in all of the Cisco CallManager servers, both publisher and subscriber.

  • Cost tracking and Reporting tools

    Hi,
    is it possible to track Project cost directly or only on ressource bases.
    What I mean excatlly is, can I assign to different Project Member a per day salary or per Hour ?
    Or can I only see how many man-days ar assigned to the Project ?
    Also I'm interested in Reporting possibilities. Can I use more than the TC SOLAR_EVAL.
    Are the other queries ?
    Thanks in advance
    Guersel

    Hi,
    Yes, You can see only how many man-days are assigned to the Project.
    It is not possible to report project cost directly.
    However, You can assign a different project team member to a different project
    (but per a day salary or hour).

  • Essbase Reporting Tools

    Hi all,Just wondering what tools people are using for reportin from essbaseCan I use Crystal/MS Reporting Services?Thanks,Coleman

    Hi,
    1. Firstly, when you are asking of differences between hyperion essbase and reporting tools. Its not a fair apples to apples camparision.
    2. Hyperion essbase is an OLAP tool which uses multidimensionality to produce reports , its not just a reporting tool
    3. The fair camparision would be between 2 OLAP tools , rather than an OLAP tool and a reporting tool.
    4. You have got quite a few OLAP tools available, not every OLAP tools is MOLAP, it might be ROLAP too. This is a huge difference and would work much better too in camparision.

  • Reporting tools and SAP BW

    Dear Sirs,
    We have Business Objects BI 4.0 and SAP BW 7.3.
    Actually we are using Web Intelligence and BEx Query to reporting.
    We have not Business Layer (Universe) between BW and BO because BO it's not supported to create universe (unx) on BW. So we create document in WEBI using BEx Query.
    We want to use Xcelsius (Dashboard Design) 2011 and I was thinking that we can use query from universe to connect with BW (new functionality in version 2011). Can we? Or maybe we should to connect to BW using "Connecttion to SAP BW"?
    We want to use Explorer (on iPad and iPhone), but Explorer requires universe (unx).
    Is not possible to create universe (unx, because unv is not supported via Explorer) based on SAP BW, is it true?
    We should we do, when we want to use Explorer with SAP BW?
    Do I understand connection between reporting tools and SAP BW:
    Crystal Reports - can I use cubes or BEx queries
    Xcelsius - using "Connection to SAP BW"
    WEBI - BExqueries or universe (but only UNV - old version).
    Explorer - in my opinion is not possible
    Analysis for OLAP - drirect to cube in SAP BW
    Could you please comment.

    Hi
    With the current version of the BI 4.0 SP2 BI Platform, one cannot create a universe (.UNX format) against BW using the OLAP connection. However you can create a universe (.UNX format) using the Relational connection (see OSS note: 1656905 - How to create UNX universe based on Business Warehourse InfoCubes). One limitation is the use of hierarchies with the relational connection.
    Then you can create the Information spaces based on the universe (.UNX format) that the Explorer can use.
    BO Reporting tools:
    1. Crystal Reports for Enterprise = you can use the OLAP connection (BICS) directly against the BW InfoCubes or Queries, if queries already exist in the BW system then you can leverage these directly (less time spent recreating the entire query in Crystal)
    2. Xcelsius = you can use the BICS or Web Service or Universe to access the data
    3. Web Intelligence = you can use the OLAP Connection (BICS)
    4. Explorer = you can use a universe (.UNX format) via a Relational Connection
    5. Analysis for OLAP = you can use the OLAP connection (BICS) to either a query or InfoCube.
    It is hoped that in Feature Pack 3 which will be released later this year, that missing functionalities will be delivered for BI 4.0.

  • BW (BEx) and BOBJ Reporting-Tools

    Hi All,
    I'm looking for an article or anything, that describes the difference between SAP BW (BEx) and Business Objects- Reporting tools .
    which tools is suitable for what purpose?
    thanks
    brad

    This isn't mine - it may even be yours - but just in case anyone looks at this thread, here it is
    BO vs BEx 
    Ease of use:
    BO - Very user friendly interface, Minimal requirement for MDX code, Some queries take more time in BO analysis, when compared to BEx Analyzer
    BEx - Difficult self service reporting and analytics, Being Excel based, it needs extensive VBA or Macro programming for a great UI
    Features:
    BO - Export functionality (PDF, MSOffice etc), More chart types, Has more advanced features, Design and Preview Tab in the same page, Provides offline capabilities
    BEx - Is mostly for SAP only but With integration can access BEx query from BO, Web App Designer is effort intensive, Build and preview are separate views
    Support from SAP:
    BO - Part of SAP integration roadmap, All current and future dev. in the BI front-end is focused on the SAP BO BI solutions, Crystal Reports is now main reporting tool, replacing BEx Report Designer
    BEx - BEx is no longer the strategic direction, BEx product line will be phased out completely by 2016
    Compatibility with other data source:
    BO - Able to merge data from various sources in the same report, Can connect to any Database, very flexible in design
    BEx - Gets data from BI
    Implementation effort and ownership cost:
    BO - Longer deployment period compared to BEx, Additional server needed, May require additional components setup for BW, May need separate license for Business Objects Enterprise (BOE) platform, BO uses OLEDB for OLAP API via BEx query, may cause an overhead, BW Accelerator may be needed to improve query response time, scalability and visibility.
    BEx - Only MS office and BEx client are needed for installation, BEx is bundled with NetWeaver

  • Forms and Reports: Automated Test tools - functionality AND performance

    All,
    I'm looking to get a few leads on an automated test tools that may be used to validate Oracle forms and reports (see my software configuration below). I'm looking for tools that can automate both functional tests and performance. By this I mean;
    Functional Testing:
    * Use of shortcut keys
    * Navigation between fields
    * Screen organisation (filed locations)
    * Exercise forms validation (bad input values)
    * Provide values to forms and simulate user commit, and go and verify database state is as expected
    Performance Testing:
    * carry out tests for fixed user load
    * carry out tests for scaled step increase in user load
    * automated collection of log files and metrics during test
    So far I have:
    http://www.neotys.com/
    Thanks in advance for your response.
    Mathew Butler
    Configuration:
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux x86-64 architecture v4.5 64 bit
    Oracle Application Server 10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
    Oracle Developer Suite (Oracle Forms and Reports) V10.1.2.0.2 ( with patch 10.1.2.3 )
    Oracle JInitiator 1.3.1.17 or later
    Microsoft Internet Explorer 6

    are there any tools for doing this activity like oracle recommended tools?
    Your question is unclear.  As IK mentioned, the only tool you need is a new version of Oracle Forms/Reports.  Open your v10 modules in a v11 Builder and select Save.  You now have a v11 module.  Doing a "Compile All PL/SQL" before saving is a good idea, but not required.  The Builders and utilites provided with the version 11 installation are the only supported tools for upgrading your application.  If you are trying to do the conversion of many Forms files in a scripted manner, you can use the Forms compiler in a script.  Generating new "X" files will also update the source modules (fmb, mmb, pll).  See MyOracleSupport Note 955143.1
    Also included in the installation in the Forms Migration Assistant.  Although it is more useful to people coming from older versions, it can also be used to move from v10 to 11.  It allows you to select more than one file at a time.  Documentation for this utility can be found in the Forms Upgrade Guide.

  • Is there any impact analysis tool for Oracle Forms and Reports

    Hi All
    We are curretly looking at tools available to do impact analysis in Oracle Forms and Reports. This is for the maintainance of a large Oracle application developed using forms and reports 10g. We use Oracle Designer but only to maintain the db structure and not for forms and reports generation. Our intension is to find out the impact of db model changes, stored procedure changes in Oracle Forms and Reports. Please suggest any tools that are currently used for this purpose.
    I remember manually maintaining the CRUD matrix for Oracle Forms and Reports for maintainance purpose. CRUD matrix will have the list of all the tables which are affected by the module. But this is a manual activity and hence the responsibility is with the dev team to keep the document updated. Please suggest if there is any alternative to this way which can be more effecient and less error prone...
    I also wonder how these are done in Oracle ERP? how the apps team in oracle is maintaining the forms and reports?
    Thnaks in Advance
    Mahesh Mathew

    Quest (the makers of TOAD) have a tool called SQL Impact which gathers data from forms, reports, triggers, packages etc.
    FormsMate is a simple, cheap alternative for comparing or searching in forms.
    http://www.jockvale.ca/products.html
    Alternatively, you can export forms to xml (with iff2xml90.bat) and reports to jsp (with rwconverter) and simply grep those and your sql scripts. There are grep tools for windows if you need.

  • ALD API and ALD (Advanced Layout Designer) as a reporting tool for AddOns

    Dear all,
    as per SMP "ISVs and VARs can integrate combit's List & Label functionality into any SAP Business One Add-on without additional combit license fees", so am i right it means that LnL (ALD) has an API which allows to manipulate it right from SBO AddOn?
    and yes, according to the combit site (e.g., http://www.combit.net/en/page1077.aspx?action=display&articleid=KBTE000662) this really has API.
    so the questions are:
    1. does anybody has any expierence with ALD as a reporting tool for the SBO AddOns (ALD API expierence)?
    2. does anybody has any samples (how to call ALD API from AddOn)?
    3. are there any elearning materials at the SMP regarding ALD API usage from the AddOns?
    4. is ALD API available for the SAP 2005 SP01 as well as SAP 2007 versions?
    please comment on this with your point of views and some attitude
    thank you and kind regards,
    A.

    Hi Alexey,
    I've got ALD running at sites (2005A SP1).
    1) ALD is certainly more powerful than PLD in terms of presentation and formulas. The only limitation I came across was that you can only have 1 data table in a report (unlike other report writers like Crystal or Reporting Services). Also, working with special lines and serial/batch data in marketing documents is overly complex in my opinion.
    2) There were some samples attached to SAP Notes. I'm afraid my samples would be useless because you'd have to have the same UDFs and my reports are quite site specific.
    3) I've never seen ALD learning material from SAP but there was a decent enough manual that came with the addon.
    4) Not sure. I think you'll need to ask Combit directly.
    Pros:
    a) I particularly like the sound of the API although I haven't had a chance to look at it yet
    b) Some nice built in features like labels and the ability to create layouts for user queries (...PLD is capable of doing this, just not very well )
    c) Software is part of 2007A (ie no additional license fee)
    d) Integrated with SBO
    Cons:
    a) The integration is not perfect (eg if you use the SBO Mailer then report attachments still use the PLD layout and not ALD).
    b) A bit buggy at times (although this was on an early 2005A version)
    c) Formulas use a C++ type syntax which can be confusing for those not used to it though there is a formula builder to help out.
    d) No reports built in. SAP/Combit should be considering having all marketing documents and maybe some other key reports built in as standard.
    All things considered, ALD is worth looking at if PLD is not up to the job.
    Hope that helps,
    Owen

  • BW hierarchies issue with BOBJ Reporting tools

    Hi All,
    Brief about the requirement:
    Our client was using Mainframe and other tools for their reporting. Now as they have planned to go for SAP, purchased SAP BW 7 and SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 for warehouse and reporting purposes.
    Initial Road map planned for implementation was
    o     to use Crystal for operational and formatted reporting
    o     to use WebI for Ad hoc and interactive reporting
    o     to use Xcelsius for Dashboards
    Once we started analysing the requirements, we observed that client requires hierarchies extensively for reporting and they donu2019t want to compromise in that for reporting. At this situation we have explored the options and came to know from the SAP sites that BO got limitations in case of BW hierarchies. But we not able to articulate the what is the exact issue. Is it with only WebI or Crystal also?
    What we have articulated is we cannot report the hierarchies in BO in terms of nodes - > Sub nodes -> sub nodes instead we can do as fixed columns. Please add me if i am missing anything else.
    And also please let us know options. Options that we were thinking are Implement with BO XI 3.1 considering Advanced analysis tool then upgrade to BO XI 4.1.
    Please suggest us, what is the BW & BO hierarchy issue and right tools to use.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Bala

    Our client uses XI 3.2 but is experiencing issues with Hierarchical BEX queries returning blanks - the mdx is fine - just webi that seems to have a problem and I'm also trying to determine in exactly which instances this occurs.
    XI 4.x supposedly resolves mots issues but here again details are not known.
    I.e. hopefully someone can point to an info source that describes in more detail what issues are likely to occur re hierarchies and webi.
