Using crystal report to extract data from Audit Log

I have a customised form which contains main fields (i.e 20 fields) and when a field is changed, it's being recorded in the audit log.
Would it be possible to use Crystal Report to extract data from the Audit Log? Ideally, i would like the report to show me all the latest field values in a spreadsheet type format (i.e. one field per column)
Has anyone try this and if so, what is involved?

An element with both text & a sub-element is a mixed-content element.
For example ElementA is a mixed content element.
<ElementA>
Text
<ElementB></ElementB>
</ElementA>
Extract just the Text from ElementA.
<xsl:template match="ElementA">
<xsl:apply-templates select="text()" />
</xsl:template>

Or else u can use crystal reporter instead.

One report to pull data from SQL or DB2

Hi Guys,
First post here. I have scoured the internet using our good friend google for answers and have come up empty. I hope someone can help me here!
Some Info: Crystal XI R2, Visual Studio 2005, Ms SQL Server 2005, DB2, VB.NET
What I am trying to accomplish is using one report to pull data from either SQL 2005 or DB2.
The problem I get is if the report is configured to pull data from SQL 2005, I cannot change it using the code below to pull data from DB2. The SQL Report uses the Microsoft OLEDB Provider. The DB2 report uses the IBM DB2 UDB for iSeries IBMDA400 OLEDB provider. When I quickwatch the oCRTable logon information, it seems to retain the other database's info.
Any ideas?
My code:
    Private Sub LoadRpt(ByVal rpt As String)
        Try
            Dim strReport As String
            Dim crReportDocument As New CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
            Dim rpt As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument
            Dim oCRTable As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Table
            Dim oCRConnectionInfo As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ConnectionInfo()
            strRptNm = String.Format(".rpt", rpt )
            strReport = String.Format("\{1}", Server.MapPath("Reports"), rpt )
            crReportDocument.Load(rpr)
            '   check to make sure report is loaded; if not, then do nothing
            If crReportDocument.IsLoaded Then
                oCRConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("DataBase")
                oCRConnectionInfo.ServerName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("Server")
                oCRConnectionInfo.UserID = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("Profile")
                oCRConnectionInfo.Password = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Item("Password")
                For Each oCRTable In crReportDocument.Database.Tables
                    oCRTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = oCRConnectionInfo
                    oCRTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(oCRTable.LogOnInfo)
                    oCRTable.Location = oCRTable.Location
                Next
                For Each rpt In crReportDocument.Subreports()
                    For Each oCRTable In rpt.Database.Tables
                        oCRTable.LogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = oCRConnectionInfo
                        oCRTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(oCRTable.LogOnInfo)
                        oCRTable.Location = oCRTable.Location
                    Next
                Next
            ... other code ...
            End If
        Catch ex As Exception
            ... other code ...
        End Try
    End Sub

David,
Your suggestion worked to near perfection. The only problem was that if I configured the datasource locations of the report and sub reports in CR to use the SQL ODBC, the .net program would successfully log in using the DB2 info but had a problem reading the data. If I configured the datasource locations of the report and subreports in CR to use the DB2 ODBC, everything worked! Thanks for the advice.
The force is strong with you.

I do understand, I'm not a programmer either :-(
the company who wrote report builder is Digital Metaphors, they have a
very good
training application and additional detailed information of how to
write
reports.
The CIM schema is I agree Cr** (well not easy) and without the detail
that
Novell provide it doesn't work.
I hope that a friend of mine is going to provide the compromise that
you and I
are looking for. Namely the ability to create the SQL queries that
ART can
make, with a simple report system. Keep an eye on caledonia.net for
an
announcement for ART4 (Derived from but unrelated to Salford
Software's
product) :-)

Use ODI to Extract Data from Hyperion Planning & Budgeting report to Excel

Hello
Can someone tell me please how to Extract Data from (Financial Reporting in) Hyperion Planning & Budgeting into Excel Using ODI?
Would the steps be the same as Creating an ODI Project and Interface: Exporting a Flat File to a Flat File? If not, why?
Best Regards.
Edited by: Saturday on May 26, 2012 9:55 PM

Where do you think the financial reports get their data from? Financial Reports pull data from data sources such as Essbase, HFM.

Failed to retrieve data from the database using Crystal Reports XI R2

I am using Crystal reports XI R2 and using the Universal Web Connector (connecting to Coghead). When I put some some of the fields from the database and run Preview I get "Failed to retrieve data from the database." . Where is this message coming from and how can I track down what the issue is?

Hi Jamie,
When you are trying to Browse Data of a field it is not poping up any window menas, it is unable to interact with database and get the data from database.
Try to create a new report using ODBC with Xtreem Sample Database. If you get the data in your report without any error then your connector is not working / unable to pull the data into your report.
You can find the supported platforms document in below link

How to Extract data from a Request management tool to Apex to avoid working on Excel reports

Client uses a ticketing tool,I donot know what is the database for the tool,but I would like to know the best way to extract data from the tool to pex so that we can eliminate working on Excel reports.These excel reports are basically the open request log,resolved tickets,aging tickets etc,currently we work on many excel reports,can we achieve this in Apex ,if so how do we achieve this.Then we would like to use this report and prepare multiple charts,how the above two requirements can be mapped.

A very important function for the system will be - one sends an email in certain format to a dummy email address, then some data will be extracted from the email based on the pre-defined format and inserted into the database my APEX application is using.
Any idea on how I can make it happen please? I agree that this is not really an Apex question, but a more general PL/SQL question.
There are many approaches, all boiling down to one of these two:
1) Push: Some process in the mail server sends/forwards information to your database when new mail arrives.
The language/tools used to do this, and the way it would connect to your database, depends on your environment (what is your operating system? mail server? existing middleware/tools? security protocols used? etc.).
2) Pull: Some process in the database contacts the mail server and polls for new information.
Ie. some PL/SQL code would communicate with the mail server. Again, it depends on your environment (what is your operating system? mail server? existing middleware/tools? security protocols used? etc.).
For example, if you are using Exchange 2007 or newer, it has a web services API:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd877045.aspx
The challenge here will be to build the correct SOAP requests from PL/SQL, and to handle the security protocols used.

Problem in Excel after extracting data from SAP Report

Hello,
I have a problem with Excel file after extracting it from one of the SAP report.
When my client extracted data from SAP in to excel he is coming across minus symbol on both sides of the number.
for ex: -447492177-
When i extracted same SAP report in to excel i didnt face any such problem.
Please share your inputs on what could be the problem.

1. Make sure your client and you are using the same version of Microsoft Excel
2. Let your client try to OPEN the exported xls file from a existed workbook instead of double-clicking the file directly.

Using Crystal Report Data Connection in Xcelcius 2008

The documentation does not explain how data to populate row, column and details is passed to SWF.
Can some-one please point how CR Data Connection when created in Xcelcius 2008 is used in Crystal Report Design time ? Is it through Flash variables? Basically more details are needed for "when setup properly" clause. How to map Crystal Reports Fields to Xcelcius Definitions.
Thanks
Harish Tejwani
From Doc:
"With the release of Crystal Reports 2008, it is now possible to embed an Xcelsius-generated SWF file into a Crystal Report and have the SWF consume data from that report. When set up properly, refreshing the data in your Crystal Report will update the embedded SWF.
To configure your Xcelsius SWF to consume data from its Crystal Rport source data, you must open the Data Manager in Xcelsius and add a new Crystal Report Data Consumer connection. After adding the connection, bind the following ranges to your spreadsheet: Row Headers, Column Headers, Data"
"Using Crystal Reports 2008, embed the SWF file into the Crystal Report source data file. When designing your Crystal Report, you will determine what fields/data populate the Row Headers, Comumn Headers, and Data ranges that were designated in your Xcelsius SWF. When set up properly, refereshing your Crystal Report will also refresh the data being sent to and consumed by the embedded SWF. See"

Using Crystal Report to create reports from ABAP

Hello,
We are currently using Jetform as the designer for our outputs like Invoice, Order confirmation, etc.....
We would like to switch to Crystal instead, but don't really know where to start from.
- We already have crystal on our B/W instance
- The additional need for Crystal is in R/3, and would be triggered trough ABAPs.
What I am looking for. I guess, is the equivalent to when:
we call up smartforms from ABAP using the generated function modules
we call up sapscript from ABAP using the predefine function call (write_form open_form close_form, etc)
we call up Jetform using special control code along with the data, sent to a jetform configured printer
=> What kind of call would we then make to send data to Crystal Reports place holder and print them?
=> What kind basis set-up is needed to have to comunication between Crystal and SAP established?
Thank you in advance for yours hints

Hi,
You will likely be able to access the tables directly using the Opensql driver using Crystal Reports. I don't understand why you are assuming that an Infoset is necessary. Can you point me to the documentation that states that an Infoset is necessary?
In any case, if you want to create an Infoset, this is done in SQ02. You need to make sure that you belong to a user group in order for Crystal Report to see the infoset.

Extract data from Essbase using APIs

Hi All
I was going through the API documentation for Essbase and data extraction from Essbase using API.
It seems APIs make use of Report script to extract data from Essbase. This would increae the overhead of writing a report script everytime you need to extract data from Essbase.
Is there any other method to extract/export whole or specific data from essbase using APIs?
How does Excel Add-in retrieves data from essbase without any report script?
Can Provider services be helpful in any way to achieve this?
Please help

Hi,
Its hard to say if there is a faster way without knowing how you're doing it now. A few questions:
- why are you using the API to get at Essbase Data, especially if you've already defined a (some) report scripts?
- if you want to use provider services, vs having to ensure all the libraries and the client are present, why not use the JAPI?
- Without seeing your code, its hard to know why you're getting out of memory errors. What are you doing with the data as you're parsing it from the report?
Grid API exists for the C API, and more noteable the JAPI, but not VB(I'm surprised the VB api still exists).
Why not just use the Java API?

Can xcelsius use crystal report instance to display data?

HI experts,
Here we use live office with crystal reports to feed data to xcelsius flash. We schedule the crystal reports every day, and want to use data of the crystal report instance when user open a xcelsius flash.
Can this be realized ?
thanks a lot !

Hi Sam,
You can do this. Go to Live office and goto to the "Properties for all objects" and select the refresh tab.
Select the option as "Latest Instance" for refresh option and then save the Excel sheet and re-import into Xcelsius.
This would refresh the data from the latest instance of Crystal report.
Thanks,
Amit.

Extract data from Essbase - MDX/Report Script

Hi,
I was trying to extract data from an ASO cube using both MDX and Report Script approaches.
I liked the MDX_ method since i could specify:
- level zero members with values for the Revenue measure.
SELECT
{[Revenue]} on columns,
NON EMPTY{[Accounts].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(1),
NON EMPTY {[Accounts2].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(2),
NON EMPTY {[Accounts3].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(3),
NON EMPTY {[Accounts4].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(4)
FROM CUBER.CUBER
Problem:_ For other measure, it shows many #Missing at Cost measure field. Not sure how it happened. I tried to use:
SELECT
{[Revenue]} on columns,
NON EMPTY{ FILTER ([Accounts].Levels(0).Members}, [Revenue] <> Missing) on AXIS(1),
NON EMPTY {[Accounts2].Levels(0).Members} on AXIS(2)
FROM CUBER.CUBER
But still does not solve the issue.
Then i tried to use Report Script_ approach. However, it is not simple to declare that i want all level zero members within dimension Account1 (which has 5 level hierarchy, with level zero members almost each level) and only entries that has values for my measure "Revenue" or "Cost"

Hi Ye
For extracting data from Essbase you need to have either Calc script or Report script and you have to use LKM Essbase(Data) to SQL as your KM
For loading data into SQL server you can use IKM SQL Append or IKM SQL incremental update.
When you use Essbase as your source you have to use LKM ESSBASE (MetaData) to SQL as your KM.
So all sources would have LKMs (as KMs) and all targets have IKM as KMs.
