Hi Mohan,
We have faced the same problem around a year back and with SAP help, we have applied some SAP Notes/Patches, but can not remember those exactly.
But applying those patches only will work the hierachies in Report Designer.

Unable to view report from Bex Report Designer

Hi,
When I log on to Bex Report Designer, I click execute button, it is giving a blank page. It is neither giving any error nor any message. We have recently installed NW2004s and BI Cont 703. Now my problem is how to make report visible in the BEX Report Designer.
Thanks,
Subhani

Dear Prakash,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have religiously followed your Blog. As far as I know any one who wanna setup BEx has to follow this. It is the one place where all the settings related to BEx front end were discussed and disclosed. Thanks a lot for your exemplary attempt.
Though you have mentioned about the .NET frame work I could not understand how it will effect the "insert" menu of BEx report designer. But i have checked that also and its matching with your recommendations.
My question is pretty simple. With sapgui6.40compilation5 with all the latest patches both for gui, BW and BI. Will i get the options of "Report section", "Report section based on Querry"in the "insert" menu of BEx report designer.
The mentioned options "Report section", "Report section based on Querry" were shown in the webnair of BEx report designer. Pls check the link:
(As per the SDN these menu items should be available in BEx report designer..Pls observe the Insert menu in the very first few seconds)
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9c059b57-0701-0010-3283-e5e8669f827e
We have installed and upgraded the system to spstack 8 and done all the settings. Our front end is also updated with the service packs. But we could not get those options. If you can give me your mail id i can send you the screen shots.
Thanks & Regards,
Sridharb

Report designer limits

I have some problems inserting queries into the report designer.
It seems only queries containing only key figures in the columns can be added as data provider.
If I have a characteristic in the columns I get a message: "Report Designer does not support this query drilldown. Do you really want to delete this section ? and at least one Characteristic in Rows!". (I also have characteristics in the rows. )
When I remove the characteristic from the columns, it works.
Is my assumption correct or am I missing something ?

Hi Guys,
the correct answer is:
the report designer needs fixed Columns. During Designtime the numbers of columns needs to be fixed, due to mapping reasons. This means if you have 2 dynamic parts Char in rows and columns, the runtime can not identify the corresponding rowpattern which should be applied. There for the limitation Fixed columns exists. But it should be possible to have 2 structures in the columns and several characteristics in Rows.

Kai

Report Designer Problems

Hi all,
I have two questions when I run BEx Report Designer:
1. For InfoProvider or query with Chinese characters, I can't insert Data Provider into Report Designer. The error message is "Server does not return query metadata Check the query". For English-based InfoProvider or query it works.
2. When I insert a query into Report Designer and execute it, it pops up another error message as following:
Version number of report is too high
This report Web item can display reports with version number 2.1 or lower. This report has version number 2.2
To display this report, use a newer version of the report Web item
Contact your system administrator. This error was recorded 
The BW is version 7.0 with SP12 and the BEx is SP12 with Patch1. Please help on these issues if you have any idea. Thanks very much.

Please check the deployment of BI Java.
The message corresponds to a Report Item of NW 2004s SPS 9.
Reports with Version 2.2 can be processed by Report Item SPS 10 and higher.
Report Designer checks the BI SP number (ABAP). You have to make sure
the BW server and the Portal are in sync regarding the SPS. I assume the BI SP was 10 or 11 when the Report was saved. However the Portal was not upgraded when the Report was run.
NW 2004s SPS 12 = BI Java SPS 12, BI ABAP SP 13/14
NW 2004s SPS 11 = BI Java SPS 11, BI ABAP SP 12
NW 2004s SPS 10 = BI Java SPS 10, BI ABAP SP 10/11
hope this helps, akrim

How to insert a new field in the Report Designer

Hi all.
I have a query and a report, but the query evolve.
We have a new key figure (inside rows).
In the report designer, I check the data provider.
The new key figure is added in the catalog field.
Now, I would like to insert the new field in the report.
I add a new row in the report structure but it isnt what I want.
In this case, I add a second row inside an another keys figures block.
I want to create a new block for my new key figure
Thanks for your help
Céline

Yes, key figures is in the field catalog.
But When I do that " Insert a row ", Report designer create a " row 2 " below another key figures.
And it isn't what I want. I want a new block .
For exemple in the tab report structure (My new key figure is "Margin")
I do that
Group Level 1 : key figures
         Detail Area
                  Sales Amount
                               row1
                                      cell1
                                      cell2
                  Cost
                               row1
                                      cell1
                                      cell2
                               row2 ( the new row added)
                                      cell1
                                      cell2
But I want that:
Group Level 1 : key figures
         Detail Area
                  Sales Amount
                               row1
                                      cell1
                                      cell2
                  Cost
                               row1
                                      cell1
                                      cell2
                 Margin
                               row1
                                      cell1
                                      cell2

Report designer - inserting problem

hi,
we want to use report designer for formatting reports. When we insert
query to report then following error occurs: internal error
ID: E-CREATEFROMQUERY and message: reference to object is not set to
instance of the object. When I go through this errors and execute
this report to web I get this error: Web Item Report error: Tag "band"
with name "footer1": Tag "keyfigure": Nested tag "y" must not
be empty. Have you any solution for this problem?
Thanx

Hi,
I mean frontend SP 12 (is already released). You can stay on your SPS in ABAP, Java. Frontend is compatible with older backend.

Report Designer - Inserting Graphs?

I have seen SAP PowerPoint slides demonstrating the capabilities of Report Designer that contain charts (bar or pie) apparently coming from BEx query data.
Is this possible to insert in the current version? When I insert a dataprovider into a report, it's coming up as a table by default, and I don't see any way to change it to a chart layout.
Thanks!

In SP 12 user can insert Image and Graphic.
     To insert image: first we need to store supported (GIF, JPG and JPEG) images in MIME repository then insert image browse throw required image from MIME and click oK.
     With the recent SP u have an option to insert image using MIME wizard that would take u directly to the MIME foler and generates a link like for. E.g. bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/Images/images.jpg and image get dipalyed in Report.
     Later u can change the Height and width of image.
About inserting Graphic: First insert a graphic item and then select Dataprovider, and Chart type thorough chart editor.
U can have more than one chart from different data provider
Hope this helps
Thanks

Insert multiple queries using either WORKBOOK, WAD or Report Designer

Hello Guys
I have a task where I have to insert multiple queries into one single page/sheet & print it out later. For this I can use any one of the tools available: Workbook, WAD or Report Designer.
1. Workbook - Here I have read that we can use a call back MACRO and some other features.
2. WAD - Here I have read that we can use: 1. Multiple data providers (one for each query) & 2. Multiple web analysis items linking to each individual data provider.
3. Report Designer - Since this is the actual 'formatting' tool provided by SAP, I am assuming that this is the right environment to achieve my task.
My question: Which one out of the above 3 tools is actually feasible? Can someone explain me in detail about how to go about this task. Any 'How to..' docs from SAP would also be most helpful.
Regards.

Hi Kashyap,
I have done similar requirement in Workbook,it has better features and more user friendly than others......it depends on the individual...but U cna meet your requirement thru Workbooks...
If the Req are complicated then we go for MAcros ,where in we can satify the critical req,say some sort of Dynamic reqs.
There are lot of threads on Multiple queries in one Workbook....Just search in SDN and u will get lot of Threads on this topic.
Come bak if u have any other doubts.

Unable to Drill Down for Report Designer

hellooo...I created a report using a query in Report Designer. My query is having a structure in the row and I'm using this query for the report in Report Designer. After I created this report in Report Designer, I assign this report in Web Application Designer and create a navigation pane to link this report for the drill down function. But I have problem on drill down this report in the web template when i click on this navigation pane for the free char i defined. Eg: when i drill down for the char in the free char under the navigation pane item, I cannot perform the drill down horizontally but can perform drill down vertically. After perform drill down, I don't see the values from that char being displayed in the reports. Just wondering report in report designer cannot have any drill down function? or is my query problem due to the structure i defined? thanks alotttt...

The report designer needs a fixed Column definition ( structures)
In case of drill across this requirement is not fullfilled.
This is not changable and is due to design, sorry.
so you can only drill down.
best regards,
Kai

9iDS Release 2 Report Designer Crashes

I have had numerous crashes over the past few weeks using this tool. As a background, I now have about 25 reports. Sometimes, I go into each one and "tweak" the report to change parameter sizes, layout, footer, etc. I "hand" edit some of these because I never seem to be able to re-load the template without some error. I don't know the tool very well, but, it's got a lot of great features. If it didn't crash or hang, numerous times, it would be great. One morning, recently, I was trying to update all the reports (22 of them) and print a sample page for my customer. I was ensuring the logo was the right one, the page footer was right, etc. I recieved no less than 10 crashes, forcing a restart of the tool each time. Needless to say, I wasted a lot of time doing that and wasn't able to go through all 22 reports I am running under Windows 2000 SP2 (and also under Windows XP Pro, SP1). This is both before and after applying 9.0.2.0.4 patch. Note, now that I know how to create templates, the logo, footer, etc issues are really not the problem, rather the crashes.
Sorry for the long list here in one message, but it seems to be large pattern and can be frustrating at times.
Template "Reapplication" issues:
1) Reapplying self-made template after only changing font and font size in template to make it smaller: I get a "No column is selected in group 'my group name'. Each report produces a different result, but that's the error message -- actually, I just tested this again. I don't even have to try to open re-apply the template specifically. I open the report wizard and click finish and get this, no matter what I do in the wizard. Is that the only way to reapply the template (especially, since I only want to get the font changes and color changes).
2) Clicking OK to the above error OFTEN (most of the time), produces "Instruction at 0x64e39295 referenced memory at 0x8b501045. The memory could not be read. In some cases, this happens after I select cancel in the reports wizard, when I received the error #1 above.
Because I don't understand problem #1 very well and because I frequently receive error #2, I end up opening the "old" report, copying the SQL query, closing the "old" report and generating a new report, using the template and then re-sizing the columns of the report. If someone could help with #1, that would be most helpful. That may or may not prevent the errors below. Most of my reports are "paper and web layout" and "group left" with 2 or 3 levels of groups, if that makes a difference. Also, all of my queries have lexical parameter "where_clause", allowing dynamic augmenting of where_clause.
3) The pattern of operations is: open old report, Grab SQL, close old report, generate new report via reports wizard, make report look right (fix column widths, make count columns right justified and displayed with "0,0" formatting, insert bookmarks, update user_parameter where_clause (see below) to be 4,000 characters). Save as and pick old name, when complete, save report, close report and open next report. I get through 2, 3 or 4 reports and then I get a crash. There are a two errors that I consistently see:
a) During open of report: XML Parser failure, then the crash
b) Unable to load string resource, then crash.
c) During close of report, The instruction at 0x64af3d4f referenced memory at 0x00001f55. The memory could not be read.
4) the template has user parameter defined "where_clause" 4,000 characters. I thought the template would supply that, but every time the reports wizard takes my query with the &where_clause, it resets the parameter size to 40 characters. I think that's because I'm seeing the message: Note: the query Q_1 has created the lexical parameter(s) 'where_clause', and I think that's overriding my template because at this point in the wizard I haven't even picked my template.
5) Alt-tabbing away from Reports back and forth (while creating this message, in fact), I have received the following twice while in reports wizard, after getting the exact text of the lexical parameter dialog mentioned above. The error: "The instruction 0x65134268 referenced memory at 0x00000044. The memory could not be read.
I hope these issues will be resolved in the near future. This is a great reporting tool, but with these kinds of errors, it's frustrating to use.
Regards,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Issue #1 occurs because of the report wizard. When you need to make a change, not the entire report, you should not use the wizard, use the Layout editor instead, in your case you can open the report design in the layout editor to change the font size/color of the fields then run the report and save it.
The wizard, when invoked, will start the whole new report design and expect new selections for the design, in your case, it expects you to select the fields to be displayed in the group(s) again, that is why you got the error, and I belive this error is the cause to other errors. You can test to see in the wizard, after you apply the new template don't click Finish yet, but go to the Group and Field tabs you will see . Even after you select the fields for the group when you run you will see that the report has new layout which looks completely different from the previous layout.
Good luck.

Query View not available as DataProvider in Report Designer

Hi experts,
I am unable to find any query views when I tried to insert DataProvider in Report Designer. All that is available in InfoAreas view is only queries.
When I tried to restrict type to only Query View, they are only visible in History view and not others (e.g. Find and InfoAreas)
Is this the same case with everyone and why is that so?
Thanks!

Anyone who had experienced this?

Errors in Report Designer

Hi,
I am using the report designer for the first time and I am facing the following problems with it:
1. When I insert a data provider (query) in the report designer, all the cells are blacked out. ie, i cannot see the contents in the cells. However, when I click on a single cell, the contents of the cell become visible. When I execute it, I can see the results (all cell contents) fine. Not sure what is happening here.
2. I am able to execute the report on portal but I am unable to generate any print version. When I click 'print version', a new window pops up but it remains blank. Same happens when I try (from the portal) send->export to excel. Are there any settings for PDF and excel that needs to be done?
Thanks!
