USER ID in XL Reporter

Is there a way to get the user id in XL reporter?
I'm looking for something like the variable $[USER] in SAP query

Hi Dong,
I've tried this earlier and then checked with SAP Support on this and acc to them this is not possible. What you can do is set the user selection as parameter in report, and then show the parameter.
Hope this helps.

How to allow normal/regular users to view a report

I have been compiling reports in MS SQL 2012 Reporting Services. the URLs is
http://test_report:80/reports. I have no problem with viewing the reports because I am an admin but normal users are getting access denied. this is how I assign permission to user. Open Reporting Services
Config Mnger --> Connect --> Click on Report Mnger URL --> click on
http://test_report:80/reports --> Open a another folder called Reports. In this "Reports" it has many reports. --> Click on Folder Settings --> Click on Security --> Click on "New Role Assignment" -->
In "Group or user name" text box, I entered user network computer login name, such as: domain_name\bambi --> Ensure "Browser" is checked --> Ok. I send this weblink to users but they cannot open it because of either access denied
or not have permission.
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fCorp_Reports%2fReportOfTimeInLieu. I am unsure why users cannot view my reports. Please let me know if I had missed any step(s). I use the Report Builders in Reporting Services
Config Mnger to compile reports. Regards,

so this web link will lead me to Home page:
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx.
at the home page I have folder called Reports:
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports&ViewMode=List
inside Reports folder, I have multiple reports, ie:
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports%2fReportOfTimeInLieu,
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports%2fReportOfVacationTime,
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports%2fReportOfSickDays,
http://myservername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports%2fReportOfConferenceDays
On Home page I click on Folder Settings --> Security --> New Role Assignment --> Group or User name: domainname\bambi --> Role = Browser
On Home page I click on Site Settings --> Security --> New Role Assignment -> Group or User name: domainname\bambi --> Role = System User
On Home page I open Reports folder --> Site Settings --> Security --> new Role Assignment --> Group or User name: domainname\bambi --> Role = System User
Is this how I enable user bambi to 1) enable to open Reports folder and also browse for reports in Reports folder 2) enable user bambi to execute all reports in Reports folder.
Problem: user bambi was able to open Reports folder and see all reports saved in it; however, bambi gets a blank page upon selecting a report and open/run it. bambi should see company logo and report name. It was a blank white page.
What did I do incorrectly?
Thanks,

Issue with users trying to save reports to thier Documents on one drive.

I am working
on a 2013 SharePoint environment and users who use Power View reports. I
have a user who can create reports on a site I have set up (no problems
there). They can also save reports to PowerPivot Gallery they have added
in their Newsfeed for their personal site (no problems here). The problem
is when they try to save the report and go to Documents on one Drive it fails
with below error message. I am an admin but can save just fine to my
documents. I know the error shows an access issue but not sure where or
how to resolve this issue for users. <o:p></o:p>
P.S. the
issue happens before they even save button it happens when they see the My
Documents and try to open it. Again it is there personal SharePoint site
so not sure why they would not have access.<o:p></o:p>

Hi Ken,
It's strange that the User Profile Service Application is not available there. Please use PowerShell to check it, and you can run the command below:
Get-SPServiceApplication | where-object{$_.DisplayName -like 'User Profile*'}
Please ensure you are connecting to the correct farm, and open PowerShell with administrator permission. Meanwhile, add a test user in your Active Directory, and test to see whether the user's My Site can be created.
If the User Profile Service Application can be listed by PowerShell, and the new user's My Site can be created, there might be an UI issue in your Central Administration. Otherwise, you may consider to recreate or restore your User Profile Service Application.

Need to print Current user Name in crystal report in B1

Hi all,
In Crystal reports there are 2 current user fields
CurrentCEUserName
and CurrentCEUserID
I have tried to add these fields to the footer of my reports, but no information comes out.
Is there any way to find out the current user and print their user name on the report?
Users have 2 id's. Where can I find this info and add it to the report.
A) the windows user id if possible
B) the SAP user id
Thanks
Chris

HI,
If you want SAP user id ,add OUSR table and pick user id from that table.

'File in Use' message is received when one user is in the report and another user tries to open the Excel template

‘File in Use’ message is received when one user is in the report and another user tried to open the excel template. how to make excel template shared for multiple users so the users don’t see the ‘File in Use’ message?

Hi Febin,
In addition to others’ replies, we can create a shared workbook and place it on a network location where several people can
edit the contents simultaneously. For example, if the people in your work group each handle several projects and need to know the status of each other's projects, the group can use a shared workbook to track the status of the projects. All persons involved
can then enter the information for their projects in the same workbook.
Regarding how to do this,
the following article can be referred to reference.
Use a shared workbook to collaborate

Minimum permissions to allow an end-user to create linked reports?

User has Browser and Content Manager permissions at the SSRS folder level. I'm finding I have to add them to the SCDW_Administrators role before they can create/save Linked Reports - seems excessive, so looking to see if there's a better solution
O.

Hi,
By default, all System Center 2012 – Service Manager users have access to reports through the Reporting workspace. However, before users who do not have administrator permissions can view the Reporting workspace, you must add permissions
through SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).

How to create a user parameter for a report

Hi,
I am writing a report in ORACLE 6.0, and I need to create a user
parameter for my report.
My database includes fields: item_id, item_cost, and item_desc.
What I want to do is: set up a user parameter for item_cost, and
the report will prompt the user to enter number into this
parameter, then the report will display item_id and item_desc
depending the user-entered item_cost.
thanks.
Jun

My SQL code is below:
select item_id, item_invo, item_desc
from tb_item
where item_invo=:p_1
but I got an error message:
REP-0788:Warning: The value of restricted LOV parameter p_1 is
not among the selectedble values.
Would you help me again? Thanks.

Better user experience for slow reports (loading in background, progressbar

Hi
In our application, some reports take a long time till they are displayed. Therefore it would be nice, if i could provide the user with some feedback (example: progressbar). Is it possible to have this? Upon print, when a pdf file is being constructed (in web) we already have such functionality in place, is it possible to have it generally?
Mayb,e it would also be possible to have the report load the first page quickly, so the user has already something to look at, and load all the other needed data in a background thread. (i dont think it is possible, however, somebody may have an idea)
Does anybody have an idea how we could achieve a better user experience for our reports. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Greetings
I am using:
Crystal Reports 2008 (in Asp.net, Windows Forms)
Version .NET 3.5 (SP1)
PS: of course a very fast report would be the finest solution. However, i guess this will not be possible with our reports and the volume of data they access

Hi Daniel,
Crystal Report 2008 we have a inbuilt functionality of progress bar .If you are not getting progress bar for every report that means those reports are not taking to much time.
For more info regarding progressbar this check this link:
[https://boc.sdn.sap.com/node/8035]
Look for processingIndicatorDelay and processingIndicatorText.
If you want to improve performance of report then we need to keep in mind few thing while creating report in Crystal report designer:
Here are a few points related to performance issue .
The performance of a report is related to:
External factors:
1. The amount of time the database server takes to process the SQL query.
( Crystal Reports send the SQL query to the database, the database process it, and returns the data set to Crystal Reports. )
2. Network traffics.
3. Local computer processor speed.
( When Crystal Reports receives the data set, it generates a temp file to further filter the data when necessary, as well as to group, sort, process formulas, ... )
4. The number of records returned
( If a SQL query returns a large number of records, it will take longer to format and display than if was returning a smaller data set.)
Report design:
1. Where is the Record Selection evaluated?
Ensure your Record Selection Formula can be translated in SQL, so the data can be filter down on the server, otherwise the filtering will be done in a temp file on the local machine which will be much slower.
They have many functions that cannot be translated in SQL because they may not have a standard SQL for it.
For example, control structure like IF THEN ELSE cannot be translated into SQL. It will always be evaluated
in Crystal Reports. But if you use an IF THEN ELSE on a parameter, it will convert the result of the condition to
SQL, but as soon as uses database fileds in the conditions it will not be translated in SQL.
2. How many subreports the report contains and in section section they are located.
Minimise the number of subreports used, or avoid using subreports if possible because
subreports are reports within a report, and if you have a subreport in a details section, and the report returns 100
records, the subreport will be evaluated 100 times, so it will query the database 100 times. It is often the biggest
factor why a report takes a long time to preview.
3. How many records will be returned to the report.
Large number of records will slow down the preview of the reports. Ensure you only returns the necessary data on the report, by creating a Record Selection Formula, or basing your report off a Stored Procedure, or a Command Object that only returns the desired data set.
4. Do you use the special field "Page N of M", or "TotalPageCount"
When the special field "Page N of M" or "TotalPageCount" is used on a report, it will have to generate each page
of the report before it displays the first page, therfore it will take more time to display the first page of the report.
If you want to improve the speed of a report, remove the special field "Page N of M" or "Total Page Count" or formula that uses the function "TotalPageCount". If those aren't use when you view a report it only format the page requested. It won't format the whole report.
5. Link tables on indexed fields whenever possible.
6. Remove unused tables, unused formulas, unused running totals from the report.
7. Suppress unnecessary sections.
8. For summaries, use conditional formulas instead of running totals when possible.
9. Whenever possible, limit records through selection, not suppression.
10. Use SQL expressions to convert fields to be used in record selection instead of using formula functions.
For example, if you need to concatenate 2 fields together, instead of doing it in a formula, you can create a SQL Expression Field. It will concatenate the fields on the database server, instead of doing in Crystal Reports.
SQL Expression Fields are added to the SELECT clause of the SQL Query send to the database.
11. Using one command as the datasource can be faster if you returns only the desired data set. It can be faster if the SQL query written only return the desired data.
12. Perform grouping on server
This is only relevant if you only need to return the summary to your report but not the details. It will be faster as less data will be returned to the reports.
Hope this helps!!

Shweta

Guest users in Portal Activity Report

Hi All,
We have implemented Portal Activity Report in our portal. We are tracking only the pages and we have set the property Authentication Scheme to default for all the pages.
The reports are working fine except for the fact that the reports are showing up large number of anonymous users logging in as Guest for e.g. Guest 1, Guest 2, Guest 3 etc. Our landscape has no Anonymous users.
Can anyone tell me why the report is showing up large number of Guest users (Type - Anonymous Users) though we donu2019t have any anonymous Users?
How to get rid of these Anonymous Guest users in the Portal Activity Report?
Kindly help me to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Adren D'Souza

Hi Adren,
The AR shows what it gets.
The first posibility, is somewhere anonymous users do have access to content or some operations are being considered as anonymous.
I suggest to check all the properties which should disable the anonymous, whether there is any content which is exposed as anonymous:
1)Search the roles which are assigned to Guest user.
2)Make sure that the "Guest" user is disabled.
The second possibility u2013 there is an old data in DB tables.
What type of report are we discussing? Is this the "Details about the users who logged on" report?
If it is, check the WCR_* DB tables whether there any u2018au2019 type users.
If there is, I would recommend you to delete those entries ("WHERE USERTYPE = 'a'), it could be the old data, before you have applied the note.

AT LINE SELECTION AN AT USER-COMMAND IN ONE REPORT

hiiii friends.....
hw can i go for both at line selection an at user comond in one report....
ie if double click on basic list it should shw sm output an when i choose menu optoin it should perform sm other output......

You need to crate a PF-Status and in the PF-staus you need to include some essentials buttons and the button for your list on the USER-COMMAND.
Say,
BACK
EXIT
CANC
PICK ... should be assigned to F2 .. to work with LINE-SELECTION.
NEW_LIST ... for USER-COMMAND
In your report:
START-OF-SELECTION.
SET PF-STATUS 'Z_OWN'.
AT LINE-SELECTION.
WRITE : 'I AM LINE SELECTION'.
AT USER-COMMAND.
CASE SY-UCOMM.
WHEN 'NEW_LIST'.
WRITE / 'I AM CALLED FROM USER COMMAND'.
ENDCASE.
