Using attributes in the Report Designer

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to display attributes of an InfoObject in the Report Designer? I made a query using several attributes of an InfoObject. This works great when I just run the query but as soon as I use the query as a datasource in the Report Designer the attributes are gone.
Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi
you can view the attributes in RD.
which version of RD u r in. previous revisions u r not able to see the Attributes in the RD update ur system to latest revision.
In the Older versions u can select the attribute, After executing the Query, Click on Filter then select infoobject and Edit. In the Selector u can view ur attributes for the Selected Info object

Query Stripping not working properly when using variable in the report

We have issue with WEBI document that have query stripping enable.
Once the query stripping enabled there is no data return in the report.
We have investigate on the problem, the query stripping function are notable to retrieve objects that indirectly used in the report
as we have
many variable in the reports.
Ex.
Var1 = object1 + object2
Var2 = Object3 + Object4
Var3 = Var1 + Var2
Var4 = Object1 + Object2 + Object3 + Object4
If we use only Var3 in the report, the object1,2,3,and 4 will not be
retrieve.
But if we are using Var4 in the report, the object1,2,3,and 4 will be
retrieve properly.
Please let me know is it a by-design behavior, if yes please share points on it

Hi Amit,
Thank you for response, however i already had alook on that VIdeo and it tells us about the basic enabling of query stripping.
But my question is when we have a Variable in a report which is dependent on the other two variables it gives me #error so is it by design or not.

Can anybody help me how do I design such report....

Hi Developer life,
According to your description that you want to dynamically increase and decrease the numbers of the columns in the table, right?
As Jason A Long mentioned that we can use the matrix to do this and put the year field in the column group, amount fields(Numric values) in the details, add an filter to filter the data base on this column group, but if
the data in the DB not suitable to add to the matrix directly, you can use the unpivot function to turn the column name of year to a single row and then you can add it in the column group.
If there are too many columns in the column group, it will fit the page size automatically and display the extra columns in the next page.

If your still have any problem, please try to provide us more details information, such as the data structure in the DB and the table structure you are currently designing.
Any question, please feel free to let me know.

Is it possible to set a "query in change mode" with the Report Designer 7.x

Hi,
I have a query set in "change mode" with an index set as "data can be changed using user entries or planning funcionts".
If I use this query as a "Data Provider" in the Report Designer, the result is still in "change mode" or a result of the Report Designer is only a static image?
Thank's,
Valentina.

Hi Deepu,
I had suspected this...
Thank you very much!

Userexit variables in the report designer

I want to use a query with userexit variables where 1 variable is derived from another variable in the report designer. This does not seem to work, behavious seems to be as follows:
1) when variables are derived from other variables they are filled in step 2 of the variable userexit. Variables filled in step 2 have no effect on the query: everything is selected
2) if the derived variables are mandatory, they even cause a dump saying the variable is empty
3) if variables are filled in step 1 (thus before the selection screen), they do impact the selection. The problem is that step 1 is too early to have access to the other variables.
How can I derive variables from other variables when using the report designer?
Thanks in advance for your answers,
Best Regards,
Filip Ledoux

Hi,
For example if you want use value from variable ZVAR_02 (manual entry) in variable ZVAR_01 (user exit) you can use similar code:
DATA: L_S_RANGE TYPE RSR_S_RANGESID.
DATA: LOC_VAR_RANGE LIKE RRRANGEEXIT.
CASE I_VNAM.
   WHEN 'ZVAR_01'.
    IF I_STEP = 2.
      READ TABLE I_T_VAR_RANGE INTO LOC_VAR_RANGE
           WITH KEY VNAM = 'ZVAR_02'.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
        CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
        L_S_RANGE-LOW      = LOC_VAR_RANGE-LOW.
        L_S_RANGE-SIGN     = 'I'.
        L_S_RANGE-OPT      = 'EQ'.
        APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
Variable ZVAR_01 shouldn't be ready to input.

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:

                                      cell1
                                      cell2
                  Cost
                               row1

How to find a cloumn or table used in all the reports

Hi ,
Suppose I have like 15 to 20 reports and i want search a particular column or table where it has been used in all the reports.Is there any easy way ?
Thanks,

Well "used in reports" can mean different things. Column used for display or columns used for filtering for example.
For a filter column you could literally search for
MyTable."Sales Rep"Whereas for a display column you'd need to search for
MyTable.&quot ;Sales Rep&quot ; (without the blank space after quot
That's simply due to how stuff gets stored in the webcat:
<saw:column formula="MyTable."Sales Rep"" columnID="c3">PS: How can you correctly escape the string &quot so it doesn't become " in here?

hi,
report designer is for front end view design and the designcan be done with restriction to navigation.
you have dynamic and static report designs with restricted navigations.

Data issue with Navigational Attribute in the report

Hi Experts,
We have a report which has Material and Material Group in the report. Material Group is a navigational attribute of 0Material. We have some 31 material groups in the ODS. However, the report is diaplaying only 3 material Groups. If I use Material Group directly( not as an attribute of material) then it is displaying all the 31 material groups correctly.
We have a hierarchy which is loaded through Flat file on Material Group. We need the hierarchy to be displayed for all the material groups in the ODS. Please let me know what could be causing this issue?
Thanks and Regards,
Kavitha Jagannath

Hello Kavitha,
Check if the Material Masterdata is having these Material groups. If not then load this Material masterdata and activate it.
As your query is using Material group as Navigational attribute then the data should come from this Material Masterdata.
If your Material has only 3 of th eMat Groups then report will show only 3. Better update this Material masterdata.

Using prompt in the report

Hi
I am generating report having prompt ,my report displays having deptno,deptname,designation.
By selecting the deptno through prompt the report generated for particular deptno information.But the thing is i dont want to drag deptno into result page only i took deptname,designation but i want to display deptno also in report by selecting deptno in prompt.
pls let me know wat property of prompt will help full is there any other way.
Thanka in advance.

You need to use the UserResponse() function to show the selected value from the prompt on Report.
Create a variable on report with formula - UserResponse("Enter Dept No.")
P.S. The string here Enter Dept No. should exactly match with the prompt string.

How to set input/output "use" attribute in the WSDL file of BPEL process?

Hello,
I have a BPEL process that I want to deploy it as an RPC web service. I want to access it from a Java module (via an automatic generated Java stub from the WSDL file exposed by the BPEL process).
I wrote manually the corresponding WSDL file for my BPEL process, where I stipulated for the operations exposed by my process ( in <soap:binding> tag) the value of the attribute "style" to "rpc". Also, for each <input> and <output> of the operations (inside the <operation> tag), I set manually the attributes "use" to the values "encoded". Something like this:
<operation name="getCustomers">
<soap:operation style="rpc" soapAction="getCustomers"/>
<input>
<soap:body use="encoded" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" namespace="Trial"/>
</input>
<output>
<soap:body use="encoded" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" namespace="Trial"/>
</output>
</operation>
The issue is that, when the BPEL process is built and deployed, the WSDL file generated automatically by BPEL (based on the one manually writen) set the values of the "use" attributes to "literal". This is what is generated:
<operation name="getCustomers">
<soap:operation style="rpc" soapAction="getCustomers" />
<input>
<soap:body use="literal" namespace="http://acm.org/samples" />
</input>
<output>
<soap:body use="literal" namespace="http://acm.org/samples" />
</output>
</operation>
Is there any chance to keep the original values (written by hand) for the "use attributes?
Many thanks in advance!
Regards,
Marinel

I am not sure I understand your question. If you want all your BPEL service to be rpc still by default, you can change the templates: C:\eclipse\plugins\bpelz_0.9.XXX\templates.
The BPEL PM engine support both style of invocation.
I hope this helps. -Edwin

"Subscriptions cannot be created because the credentials used to run the report are not stored, or if a linked report, the link is no longer valid" error

Get the aforementioned error. I have modified my Data Source many times trying different settings. I created a SQL Login called RS_Subscriber, local machine acct the same name, added the same as a user for our database and the ReportServer database. Tried
with and without the Use as Windows credentials when connecting to the data source checked. I Test the connection okay but keep getting the #$^^$& error message.
Does anyone have explicit instructions on what type of account, where to create the account, what rights the account needs in order for the stored data source credentials to work?
MichiganMike

Hi, This is because SSRS requires a Login to connect to the datasource to process the report when subscription will be occuring at its scheduled time. I would recommend you to store the credential securily into report server.
GoTo: Report>Properties> Click on the Data Sources tab and you will see following options:
a)A shared data source
b)A custom data source
Use option b) and click on option Credentials stored securely in the report server
and provide credential information and further you can use options: Windows credentials and Impersonate the authenticated User if you require. Click on apply button.
*You can use any option of them provided in first option(a) also using the shared data source which is having credential saved into report server.
Once you have done with above you will be able to create subscription.

Is PaperSize set in the Report Design Machine Dependent and not Universal?

Hello
I have been having a problem with setting a Custom Paper size in CR2010 for Visual Studio 2010 VB Net and in the solution that I found, the author says that
The fact is that crystal report save the information of the format of a report in a non-portable way!
It saves the "ID" of the format instead of his "Name"!
The problem is that in Windows this ID is machine dependent.
I created a Paper size for C6 envelopes, and used that Paper size name when I created a report. But whatever settings I used for setting PaperSize at runtime, the Report printed on the Default Paper size for the printer which in my case is A4.
Using this code
Dim doctoprint As New System.Drawing.Printing.PrintDocument()
            doctoprint.PrinterSettings.PrinterName = "YourPrinterName" '(ex. "Epson SQ-1170 ESC/P 2")
            For i = 0 To doctoprint.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes.Count - 1
                Dim rawKind As Integer
                If doctoprint.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes(i).PaperName = "MyCustomFormatName" Then
                    rawKind = CInt(doctoprint.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes(i).GetType().GetField("kind", Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance Or Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic).GetValue(doctoprint.PrinterSettings.PaperSizes(i)))
                    oRpt.PrintOptions.PaperSize = rawKind
                    Exit For
                End If
            Next
from Stefano on http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/vscrystalreports/thread/e16a1630-ad0c-4fda-8351-16e0807072eb I have been able to print on the custom Paper Size Option that I had created
My question is, if I am making a report which is going to be used by other users on different computers, do I need to use the code to find the correct paper size ID on the Users computer for all paper sizes, both standard sizes and custom sizes?
For example will myReportDocument.PrintOptions.PaperSize = PaperSize.PaperA4 in the code not work on another users computer if their printer has a Default paper size of Letter? Will I need to use the above code example to find the paper size ID for the user's machine?
Thank you

Hello Ludek
Thank you for the reply
Not the same query - the two links to the two questions you listed were how to overcome the problem of making the report print using a custom size
In finding a solution to that, the suggestion was made that the PaperSize stored by the Report is a machne dependent ID - if that is the case then is it correct that when the report is used on a different computer by another user, that the Paper ID size stored by the Report will not work for the second computer and that I need to include code to find the second users Paper ID that matches the paper size that the report requires even for standard paper sizes?
I understand that custom papersizes may require code to find the Machine Paper ID, but am now not sure if the problem arises for all paper sizes when the report is used on third party computers

David

Using ISCRCommandTable in the Reports Application Server

Hi
We have a report that is linked to a Command but the query may be constructed in different ways (using different tables). In past we've pushed the data to the report but I was looking into pulling the data.
I thought it might be possible to create a Command Object then edit the CommandText Property in code using the RAS API (inproc). Though it's possible to set the CommandText this does not seem to effect the data displayed. Is there a reason for this? Am I doing something wrong?
       Dim mySampleReportPath As String = "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\SetCommandtext\Report1.rpt"
        rd.Load(mySampleReportPath)
        ' Access the ReportClientDocument API in-process using the ReportDocument class.
        rcd = rd.ReportClientDocument
       'Change SQL in Command.
        Dim c As CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ISCRCommandTable
        With rcd.DataDefController.Database.Tables
            c = .Item(.FindByAlias("Command"))
            c.CommandText = "SELECT name, '123' as test FROM Checklist"
            rcd.DataDefController.ParameterFieldController.SetCurrentValue("", "test", "USA")
            rcd.DataDefController.ParameterFieldController.SetCurrentValue("", "title", c.CommandText)
        End With
        ' Set the report source of the Crystal Report viewer to the instance of the report.
        myCrystalReportViewer.ReportSource = rd
