Use of single colon in report

Hii friends,
I am using vehicle number from selection criteria and want to store the same number in another variable enclosed with single colon for eg. 'MH-04 CT 7183'.
I tried using concatenate option but its giving an error (Literals not Permitted).
Please Help.
Regards,
Sany

Hi Santosh,
Try this way...
data: v_string type string.
concatenate '''' P_Input '''' into v_string. "Where P_Input is the value from selection criteria
" Use v_string for further process

Send many reports using a single i bot..

hi all..
i have a requirement where i have to send many reports using a single i bot instance.
How can this be achieved??
Plz help guys..
regards
Mahi

Its not possible i guess because only one report can be attached in an IBOT. Workarounds are you can add reports to dashborad an can send that dashboard page. Another thing is you can chain the ibots and put all reports in those ibots.In this case you have to kick off only one ibot but multiple emails will be fired.

How to use both Static and dynamic Reports in WAD using a single template.

Hi,
I have 2 reports - Report1 & Report2. Report1 is a static report with 3 column in it. In WAD user does not want to see the third series in the chart so I have made series3 invisible in the chart.
I am calling the Report2 via 'SET_DATA_PROVIDER_PARAMETERS' in the button option.
Now the issue is that, Report2 is a dynamic report which is using a calyear vaiable range. As Report2 is using the template of Report1, Series3 of Report2 also gets hidden.
Any solution for this?
Thanks
Nisha

Hi Nisha,
After setting the Report 2 DP thru SET_DATA_PROVIDER_PARAMETERS, you can use one more command SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS on the Chart webitem & edit the Series to make it visible. If there is a way to reset the DP back to Report 1, then you must once again use SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS to hide the Series.
Or you can use another Chart webitem for Report 2 DP & make the Chart webitem for Report 1 hidden & the Chart webitem for Report 2 visible using SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS after setting Report 2 DP using SET_DATA_PROVIDER_PARAMETERS.

Multiple search using a single box...

in a form i have got aroun 10 rows and 10 columns.....is it possible to search the forms for the required information(i.e 10 different columns) using a single search box

You can use colon in any database item on runtime in entery query mode and it will prompt you to enter values/conditions on execute query where you can check any database item value. It will add the conditions in the where clause of the block. May be it will help in what you are looking for.

Use a single variable value to compare with 2 characteristics

Hi guys
    I need some advice on how to use a single variable value to compare with 2 characteristics in a Infocube.
eg : I hv 2 characteristics in Infocube
       Launch date & Closing Date
   Now I want to display report where the variable date (inputted by user) is equal to Launch Date and Closing Date.
    with regards

Bobby,
if I right understood your situation, you have an input variable ZINPUT (related to a date 'A') and 2 others dates (yours Launch and Closing dates, 'B' and 'C').
You want to display only the rows where A(user input)=B=C.
Now you have to create 2 new variables (called ZB and ZC, related to B and C dates) NOT marked as 'ready for input' and set to 'mandatory variable entry'.
Call Transaction CMOD for the definition of the customer exit (if not already existing!).
Create a new project, maintain the short text, and assign a development class.
Goto Enhancements Assignments and assign RSR00001. Press the button components to continue.
Double-click on EXIT_SAPLRRS0_001. For documentation place the cursor on RSR00001 and use the menu Goto -> Display documentation.
Then double-click on ZXRSRU01. If the include doesnt exist you have to create it; assign a development class and a transport request.
Enter the coding:
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RANGESID.
DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
CASE I_VNAM.
WHEN 'ZB'.
(and you have to repeate the same code also for the variable 'ZC' !)
IF I_STEP = 2.
READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
WITH KEY vnam = 'ZINPUT'.
if sy-subrc = 0.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
endif.
L_S_RANGE-sign = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-opt = 'EQ'.
append L_S_RANGE to e_t_range.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
Save and activate the coding and the project.
Now go to your query and use these two new variables to restrict B and C....et voilà !!!
Let me know if you need more help (and please assign points !!! be generous !!!)
Bye,

Kabeer

Hi,
Use {code} tags to post formatted code on the forum.
That way, your code will be more readable for everyone, and more importantly here, everyone will be able to clearly see what's bothering you :
'sThe single quote was encoded with the character entity reference "&apos;".
The conversion is not mandatory but it happens Oracle is doing it in this case.
It shouldn't be a problem though.
If you want to extract the value afterwards, it'll come as expected :
SQL> create table ftr_ctl (id number, doc xmltype);
Table created
SQL> insert into ftr_ctl values (1,

Can this be done using a single sql......

Hi,
I have a problem to solve an was just wondering if it was possible to do it using a single sql. It is not imperative that I use a single sql but would like to know if it were possible and if so how, else I would appreciate if I was guided in the general direction where I may be able to find a solution....
1) Esstentially in this example an employee can have 3 types of managers 'A' 'B' or 'C'.
2) the emplyee must have 1 and only 1 manager of type 'A' (it is imperative that an emp have a manager of type A)
3) the employee can have multiple managers of Type B and C but it is possible that the emp does not have any manager of type B and C
We need a report which compares all the type B managers of an employee to the type A manager of the same employee and if any one of the Type B manager is same as the type A manager then the report indicates 'Equal' else the report indicates 'Not Equal'. if there is no type B manager for the employee then the report should show is as 'Not Equal'.
The same comparsion need to be done between type C and type A managers for the employee...
here are the scripts you would require to create a dummy table with data
?SCRIPTS START?
create table emp (empid number(3), mgrid number(3), mgr_type varchar2(1))
insert into emp values (1,3,'A')
insert into emp values (1,10,'B')
insert into emp values (1,14,'C')
insert into emp values (2,15,'A')
insert into emp values (3,10,'A')
insert into emp values (3,10,'B')
insert into emp values (3,10,'C')
insert into emp values (4,12,'A')
insert into emp values (5,2,'A')
insert into emp values (5,2,'B')
insert into emp values (5,3,'B')
insert into emp values (6,1,'A')
insert into emp values (6,5,'C')
select * from emp
?SCRIPTS-END?
EMPID> MGRID> M
1> 3> A
1 > 10 > B
1 > 14 > C
2 > 15 > A
3 > 10 > A
3 > 10 >B
3 > 10> C
4 >12 > A
4 > 12 > C
5 > 2 > A
5 >2 > B
5 > 3> B
6 > 1 > A
6 > 5 > C
6 > 7 > C
Expected Report
emp_id>     mgr_type_A>     mgr_type_B>     mgr_type_C
1>>>     3>>>          Not Equal>>>     Not Equal
2>>>     15>>>          Not Equal>>>     Not Equal
3>>>     10>>>          Equal>>>          Equal
4>>>     12>>>          Not Equal>>>     Equal
5>>>     2>>>          Equal>>>          Not Equal
6>>>     1>>>          Not Equal>>>     Not Equal
at the end of the day the report is to be exported as an xls. I would be using java to connect to the DB and create the xls. Obv I could run a simple sql and do a lot of comparision in java and get the desired report... What I am looking for is
- Is it possible using a single sql.
- if not.. is it better to use a pl/sql procedure or do it using java code.
the table has abt 100,000 records .... performance is not really a factor right now...
I just have no idea where to look.. I thought of pivot tables but could not find a solution... thought of decode as well... but again to no avail... (i am not oracle expert by any means....)
Appreciate any help I can get...
Thanks...
PS: Have used > to seperate the data.. since the preview of the post was truncating all spaces between the columns and was making it difficult to differetiate the data....
ooooppppsss....just realised i should have put this in the PL/SQL forum.. dont' seem to find an option to delete the post.. so if someone can move it to the other forum... it would be great....

Well, there are no moderators here, so you are going to have to get your answer here :-). Most of us that hang out in PL/SQL are here too.
Assuming that 4>>> 12>>> Not Equal>>> Equal is a typo because there is only one record for empid 4, this works. There may be more efficient ways but ...
SQL> SELECT a.empid, a.mgrid,
2         NVL((SELECT 'EQUAL' FROM emp b
3             WHERE b.empid = a.empid and
4                   b.mgrid = a.mgrid and
5                   b.mgr_type = 'B'), 'NOT EQUAL') bmgr,
6         NVL((SELECT 'EQUAL' FROM emp c
7             WHERE c.empid = a.empid and
8                   c.mgrid = a.mgrid and
9                   c.mgr_type = 'C'), 'NOT EQUAL') cmgr
10 FROM emp a
11 WHERE mgr_type = 'A';
     EMPID      MGRID BMGR      CMGR
         1          3 NOT EQUAL NOT EQUAL
         2         15 NOT EQUAL NOT EQUAL
         3         10 EQUAL     EQUAL
         4         12 NOT EQUAL NOT EQUAL
         5          2 EQUAL     NOT EQUAL
         6          1 NOT EQUAL NOT EQUALYou can format your code and data, as I did here, by using [ pre ] and [ /pre ] without the spaces around the text you want preserved. [ code ] and [ /code ] works too.

Using Sql Queries in OBIEE Reports

Hi all,
I need to use direct sql query in report function column.. How can I implement that.
For example
Our report name is /shared/Automotive/Vehicle Services/Most Serviced Vehicle Models
we have to eliminate /shared/Automotive/Vehicle Services/ part from above report name.. I have done this in sql using the Query SUBSTR(COL,INSTR(COL,'/',1,4)+1).
So kindly help how to implement above sql query in Obiee.. Urgent.
Thanx in advance

If "Report Name" is a column then you can simply create a custom formual and apply the substring logic to it to get at the single report name instead of the full path.
Otherwise this logic can easily be accomplished within the RPD via a logic column expression.

Adhoc Reporting using Data Sources instead of Report Model

Hi Gurus,
I'm working on SSRS 2008. I'm trying to create Adhoc Report using Report Builder 3.0. To select Data Source, both *.rsds and *.smdl are listed. I selected a Data Source which points to a SQL database. When I add New datasets, I'm able to add the fields and
it automatically detect relationships (Joins) using Primary Key and Foreign Key defined in the tables. I'm also able to edit the query. I ran the report and it ran successfully.
My question is I couldn't find any documentation regarding using Data Source for Adhoc Reporting. MS SQL documentation and forums insists that Report Model is required for Adhoc Reporting.
Please let me know if someone tried to create Adhoc Report using Data Source instead of Report Model. While I understand there are more benefits using Report Model (define entities/attributes, show/hide entity/attributes, organize entities/attributes etc.),
I just want to know if this is possible.
Are there any known limitation using this method?
Thanks In Advance!

Hi Ereswaran,
Yes, we can create ad hoc report using report using data source instead of Report Model. Ad hoc reports typically are used to answer a specific question at appoint in time, so consequently people don’t spend a lot of time arranging and formatting the data
in a precise way. Other report development tools are available in Reporting Services to support more sophisticated reporting requirements.
Using Report Builder, we can build a simple report that display data form a single data source as defined by a report model. This tool is most useful for business users who need access to information but lack the skills to write a SQL query. If we have full
experience of SQL query, of course we can use data source instead of Report Model.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Single contract details report in Reporting services taking approx 40 secon

Component name: Single contract details report
Application: online application
Problem: Single contract details report in Reporting services taking approx.40 seconds to show the report
Report is look like below screen shot :
The report is designed in order to show as much information as possible for an agreement. In order to present the information in a clearly arranged manner the data is clustered and displayed on separate report tabs. The data clustering is as follows:
u2022     Header Information
u2022     Overall Contract Details
u2022     Vehicle Details
u2022     Driver Details
u2022     Mileage Details
u2022     Maintenance/Services Details
u2022     Tyres Details
u2022     Fuel/Oil Details
u2022     Invoices Details
u2022     Contract History
Single Contract Details report is a very huge report it is split into tabs. Navigation between these tabs is possible with a menu bar at the top of the report. Each tab has its own name and located there as a link. By clicking on it the tab is shown.
This report is a special type of report name as drill down report. Due to the Crystal limitation that a report can only contain one sub report, AOL used java component to call single contract report
Figure: Drill down Report
This is the only report of this type in AOL which is using the drill down functionality in crystal and now we are investigating the performance issue for this report, we have checked all possible area (java, crystal report) where we can improve the performance for this report.
We thought if we can replace the java component with crystal and directly crystal report will connect to single contract report using hyperlink, it may increase the performance but due to the Crystal limitation that a report can only contain one sub report we are not able to do this approach.

HI Piroz,
Im actually looking for the same thing...
How can I create a report were I can see if a contract has been changed or cancelled? I use VA45 to see contracts, I would like to run a report to see if there has been any changes on the contracts of if they have been cancelled, thank you soooooo much if you can help me

Using Business area for External Reporting-Pros & Cons?

Dear Freinds,
We are a Retail Business Group half way through SAP IS Retail implementation. We have 8 legal entities, currently their complete Annual Financials are being made & audited separately. In SAP the structure is that there is Single Co. Code & transactions will be seggregated by Business Area (made manadatory for data entry) and Annual Accounts will be drawn up using Business Area.
This to me does not seem to be the right structure. I have joined the group recently, I will be much thankful to you all if you please help me list the Pros & Cons of using Business Area for external reporting.

Edited by: Rajesh Agarwal on Jan 27, 2008 6:54 PM

Dan: For management reporting you may not want to post eliminations between companies where the business areas are the same.
If the Business wants to see the eliminations between companies, within the same business area, as part of BEx reports, what should I do? They do not want to execute consolidation functions in UCMON but just want to see how the eliminations have taken place between companies with in the same business area.
Dan: As long as the partner company and partner business area are consistently included for the intercompany transactions, the eliminations between Legal and Management will agree at the top-level of each hierarchy.
Have I to introduce one more InfoObject Partner Business Area in the data basis and assign the role Sub-assignment once again?
Thanks in advance.

Problem in using Select Single

Hi Experts,
This is Prabhakar
The following requirement is giving littlebit trouble to me. Here I don't know how to use Select single for selecting maktx field from MAKT table and how to link it to MARC and MBEW tables. How i will write code using without headerline.
Requirement is :
What this is asking is to create a report that contains the following fields in both the Selection Screen and in the report output:
 Material Number - MARC-MATNR
 Material Description - *
 Warehouse Cycle Count Indicator - MARC-ABCIN
 Standard Cost - MBEW-STPRS**
 Profit Center - MARC-PRCTR
Use the following code to get Material Description (RESULT is the material that results from selecting from MARC):
FORM GET_MATERIAL_DESCRIPTION.
CLEAR MAKT.
SELECT SINGLE MAKTX INTO MAKT-MAKTX FROM MAKT
 WHERE MATNR = RESULT-MATNR
 AND SPRAS = SY-LANGU.
ENDFORM. " GET_MATERIAL_DESCRIPTION
For now, select standard price with the following criteria:
 SELECT SINGLE STPRS
 FROM MBEW
 WHERE MATNR = RESULT-MATNR
 AND BWTAR = SPACE.
There is another field in the key to MBEW it is BWKEY, and it is related to plant.
So, first select from MARC, and with the results of MARC, select from MBEW

Hi,
It is advisable that dont include Material Description(MAKTX_ and Cost(STPRS), as, if you miss a single letter in material description in the selection screen you will not get your required data, Cost is also same like that so many materials will having same cost and validating will become difficult. If you include these two unnessesarily you are increasing your program complexity. See the code below which satisfy your requirement with good performance.
Hope This Info Helps YOU.
Reward Points If It Helps YOU.

Creating multiple graphs dashboard in Crystal XI using a single View from MS SQL Server 2005

How to create multiple graphs dashboard in Crystal XI using a single View from MS SQL Server 2005?
I need to use Crystal XI and create a dashboard which shows some sales data and stuff, multiple graphs on a single screen.
My tech team says they can display one graph per page but not 4 graphs on the same page as it uses a common view from SQL Server 2005.
How to manage this? Can we call in multiple views / graphs in the same page? Say 4 graphs on the same page?
We use ASP or .NET for calling crystal reports into the App.
Regards,
Akshay.

Have you tried creating multiple sections, putting each graph in a separate section and then underlaying the sections so they appear next to each other?

Can I have multiple TFS instances use a single SSRS installation

Can I have multiple TFS instances use a single SSRS installation?
Thanks

Hi Kim,
According to your description, you have multiple TFS instances using one Reporting Services instance. Right?
For installing TFS, to use a named instance with Team Foundation Server, you must install SQL Server by using a named instance, or move or restore Team Foundation Server data to a named instance, or create a team project collection on a named instance. Please
refer to the link below:
