Unusual behavior of View selector with the report level 'Add to Briefing Bo

Hi All,
With the report level ‘Add to Briefing Book’ link, we came across an unusual behavior of View selector in a report.
The Briefing Book saves only the default view from View selector in an Updatable Content type, however it behaves perfectly fine when a Snapshot type is selected for saving in Briefing book.
Has anyone faced similar behaviour, is there any fix?

Priti

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!

Hi,
Its a best practice to use the code given below in the unload event of the page or the code can also be written in a button press event so that the disposing is ensured manually(If sessions are in use).
boReportDocument.Close();
boReportDocument.Dispose();
GC.Collect();
Note: boReportDocument is the object of ReportDocument.
This code disposes the report object after using it.
Check the issue with [filemon|http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896642.aspx] utility.

How do I use page numbering and a text block in a footer in Word with the Report Generation Toolkit?

I am creating a Word document with the Report Generation Toolkit, and LabVIEW 8.2.1. In the report I am using a template that has page numbering enabled in the center. When I try to add a text block to the left side footer, it eliminates the page numbering and adds my text on the left side. I found "Set Report Footer Text" and "Word Set Page Numbering" vi's that may be the clue to this. When I use these two vi's I either get Page 1 of 456789-001 on the left side, or if I reverse the order I get only 456789-001(text) in the left side with nothing in the center. What I would like to achieve is 456789-001(text) on the left footer, and Page 1 of 2 in the center. Is this possible and if it is, then how can I do it?

Hi SciManStev,
I have attached a vi where you can see how they can be made to work together. You have to design it such that one follows the other. If you don't design it that way, it results in a race condition and only one of them get executed.
Good Luck!

Hello SMEvans32
You can use iCloud to share the Calendar, that way she will always be up to date on that particular section of your work calendar. If you want to use iCloud, I would recommend backing up so you have a safe copy of your data.

Can I align the orientation of axis labels in a graph generated with the report generation toolkit (Word)?

I was wondering how to align the axis labels, i.e. 90 degree or such when creating a graph with the report generation toolkit in word.
I can do it after the document is created through Format axis title -> alignment but is there a way out of LabVIEW?
I'd especially like to rotate the y-axis label by 90 degrees.
Thanks a lot,
Juergen

I think he means he can modify it by hand after the report has been generated... But what I want to do is generate the word graph out of labview already with the rotated axis label...
After I posted this I found out that we can do this with a macro and use it from labview, but unfortunately I don't know VB, or VBA...
Like this:

RRI Problem in EP - An error occurred with the report to report interface

I have a problem with a template: In standalone the RRI call works, in EP the same template fails with "An error occurred with the report to report interface during the jump" and details "Notification Number BRAIN 192"
The JS-code is: SAPBWOpenURL(targetLink);
In both cases (standalone, and in EP ) the targetLink is
/sap/bw/BEx?SAP-LANGUAGE=EN&PAGENO=1&CMD=RRI&RRI=X&RRI_RECEIVER=QURY0001&REQUEST_NO=2
However, standalone it works, in Portal it fails with the above message.
Any idea?

Error: Unable to communicate with the Reports Server

The configuration I am working with is:
* Oracle 8.1.6 DB on a Unix machine
* Oracle Reports 6i on an NT machine
* Microsoft IIS web server
I have successfully tested my reports during the development phase of my project. Unfortunately, now that it is considered production and is available to upwards of 30 people, I am getting the following error message after verifying the server is up and after a numerous reports have been served:
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Unable to communicate with the Reports Server.
After receiving this message I noticed that the Report Server service is down and the log only indicates that it "shut down immediately". (no ORA messages) I tried restarting the service, but after serving one report, it would shut down again with the same message.
I am wondering if it is a problem related to the cache. I used the default of 50M in the config file, but when the cache directory reaches 50M, the problem seems to appear. I then deleted approx. 30M of files from the cache directory and the Report Server service appeared stable. I changed the cache limit to 1M to see if there was a problem with the cache being so big. All appeared well for the first few hours of operation but then the Report Server service shut down again and upon restart crashed within a minute or two (usually as someone tests a report, it crashes again).
Do I have a configuration problem? Has anyone seen this problem? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

i am stunned...
while none of the other commands like

Here you are looking to have report prompt and report on the same page which is not possible.
If you still want to achieve this ..then create a report with all columns say reprot1 and report2 your prompts.
Go to dashboard ...add ...report2 prompts on the above...report2 with all columns 1 down...
Now when you see .....report prompts on top and report on down....now when you select some prompt it will take you to the new page....
Use guided navigation.

Is anyone else seeing this with the report toolkit

I am using LV 8.6 and using the LV report functions inside a VI. This VI is my main VI for the TS user interface. What is happening is, I built my main vi into an executable and then I am building a deployment in TS with the executeable included. I get a tremendous amount of errors when I do this saying that the vi's that are part of the report generation in LV are not able to be loaded because they have no front panel or block diagram. So I did some investigating and sure enough the toolkit was changed to Object Oriented for LV 8.6. This explains why i can get it to build on a machine with LV8.5 installed instead of 8.6.
I was just wondering if anyone has had this problem with the toolkit and TS.
I also had a meeting with Brian Buress (field engineer for NI) and Jeff Phillips (LabVIEW product manager) they saw this activity (they were here and I showed it to them) and they could not explain it.
The problem has to lye in the fact that the report VI'S are now object oriented.
Is anyone else have trouble with this toolkit.
Joe.

A spool should be generated with the report screen which can be later used

There is a transaction ZJPVOM301, After I execute this transaction for the program, it generates a report of the sales order and gives the details like Document, Date and processing status. Now the requirement is:
REQUIREMENT:
A spool should be generated with the report screen which can be later used for tracking purpose i.e,
Transfer programs SAPMZJPV301 and ZJPVOM327 need to be fixed so that the result of processing is stored in a spool, to be printed out at any time. Currently, if there is a problem in processing, a report is displayed at the end of the program run, but it is not saved anywhere. If the user does not save a screen shot, it is very difficult to trace problem areas in this program. Plz. kindly give me the reply as early as possible.

Hi,
Use FM : <b>RSPO_SX_OUTPUT_TEXTDATA</b> to create spool , if report output data is available in internal table.

I have request in the report level but the same is missing in the infocube

Dear Experts,
I have request in the report level but the same is missing in the compressed infocube level. What could be the cause? does the compressed infocube deletes the request ? if so, I could able to view other requests under infocube manage level.
Kindly provide with enough information.
Thanks.............

Hi
Compressing InfoCubes
Use
When you load data into the InfoCube, entire requests can be inserted at the same time. Each of these requests has its own request ID, which is included in the fact table in the packet dimension. This makes it possible to pay particular attention to individual requests. One advantage of the request ID concept is that you can subsequently delete complete requests from the InfoCube.
However, the request ID concept can also cause the same data record (all characteristics agree, with the exception of the request ID) to appear more than once in the fact table. This unnecessarily increases the volume of data, and reduces performance in reporting, as the system has to perform aggregation using the request ID every time you execute a query.
Using compressing, you can eliminate these disadvantages, and bring data from different requests together into one single request (request ID 0).
This function is critical, as the compressed data can no longer be deleted from the InfoCube using its request ID. You must be absolutely certain that the data loaded into the InfoCube is correct.
Features
You can choose request IDs and release them to be compressed. You can schedule the function immediately or in the background, and can schedule it with a process chain.
Compressing one request takes approx. 2.5 ms per data record.
With non-cumulative InfoCubes, compression has an additional effect on query performance. Also, the marker for non-cumulatives in non-cumulative InfoCubes is updated. This means that, on the whole, less data is read for a non-cumulative query, and the reply time is therefore reduced. See also Modeling of Non-Cumulatives with Non-Cumulative Key Figures.
If you run the compression for a non-cumulative InfoCube, the summarization time (including the time to update the markers) will be about 5 ms per data record.
If you are using an Oracle database as your BW database, you can also carry out a report using the relevant InfoCube in reporting while the compression is running. With other manufacturers databases, you will see a warning if you try to execute a query on an InfoCube while the compression is running. In this case you can execute the query once the compression has finished executing.
If you want to avoid the InfoCube containing entries whose key figures are zero values (in reverse posting for example) you can run a zero-elimination at the same time as the compression. In this case, the entries where all key figures are equal to 0 are deleted from the fact table.
Zero-elimination is permitted only for InfoCubes, where key figures with the aggregation behavior SUM appear exclusively. In particular, you are not permitted to run zero-elimination with non-cumulative values.
For non-cumulative InfoCubes, you can ensure that the non-cumulative marker is not updated by setting the indicator No Marker Updating. You have to use this option if you are loading historic non-cumulative value changes into an InfoCube after an initialization has already taken place with the current non-cumulative. Otherwise the results produced in the query will not be correct. For performance reasons, you should compress subsequent delta requests.

Cannot implment security setting on the report level - SSRS 2012

Hi All:
I am having a weird problem on my SSRS 2012 reporting portal, I cannot click any of the drop down list like the example below. Is there anything from the setting?
It is not only about the reporting level, any arrow on the reporting server, like data source, are kind of dead as well.
Please kindly help and thanks in advance.
Cheers
Johnny

Hi JohnnyKahWang,
According to your description, you can view folders and reports on report manager, but you could not click any of the drop down list.
Reporting Services uses role-based security to grant user access to a report server, and there are two types of roles: Item-level roles and System-level roles. Access to reports, folders, models, shared data sources, and resources is controlled through item-level
role assignments. Each user who requires access to a report server must have at least one item-level role assignment. On a new installation, only local administrators have access to a report server. In this case, a local administrator need to create a role
assignment which has Manage folders and Manage reports task to the account by following steps:
Click Home at the top of the page to open the Report Manager home page.
Click the drop-down arrow next to the folders and reports.
Click New Role Assignment.
In Group or user name, specify the name of a group or account.
Select a role which can perform Manage folders and Manage reports tasks.
Click OK to save the role assignments.
For more information about Setting Item-Level Permissions on a Report Server, please refer to the following document:

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
