Using MAX API to generate report

I am trying to automate a software installation procedure through the use of the NIMAX_GenerateReport() function. We have a software installation that requires a manual edit operation after the installation. After installing the software the user examines the memory range of a 6602 counter/timer card in NI-MAX and then edits the value into an INI file that the software reads at run time.
I am exploring the possibility of automating this step by having the installer call the NIMAX_GenerateReport() function to generate an XML report and then read the memory range from the XML report file and finally edit the INI file with the memory range value read from the report. To test this out I wrote a small command line LabWindows program that called the generate report function. It worked fine on my build machine but when I tried to run it on the target machine I get the following error return from the generate report function call: "An unknown error occurred". The version of NI-MAX on the target PC is 3.1 and the version on the build PC is 4.6.2. I was wondering if the version of NI-MAX on the target PC is too old to support the NI-MAX API. My questions are:
1. Is this a valid way to programmatically obtain the memory range information from the 6602 card or is there a better way?
2. How can I upgrade the version of NI-MAX on the target PC. I'm not sure what installs it.
Thanks,
Jim

Hello Jim,
The way you are going about your coding sounds correct. Per your second question, MAX installs when you update the computer drivers. To do this go to ni.com/drivers, search for DAQmx, and then download the most current version of DAQmx that is compatible with your computers. By installing a newer version of DAQmx MAX will automatically be updated.

Process with RenderPDFForm using Java API not generating output file

I have a short-lived process that renders a PDF/HTML form based on input parameters. It also takes a .xdp file as input. This works just fine from with
in Workbench (9.0). I have created a Java client to invoke this process. When I invoke the process from the Java Client,
it is not creating the output file. When I look at the invocation response, I see the output parameter (output file) name, but it is null.
Here is my code.
Properties connectionProps =
new Properties();
connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_DEFAULT_SOAP_ENDPOINT", "http://hostname:8080");connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_TRANSPORT_PROTOCOL","SOAP");
connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_SERVER_TYPE", "JBoss");
connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_CREDENTIAL_USERNAME", "username");
connectionProps.setProperty(
"DSC_CREDENTIAL_PASSWORD", "password");
//Create a ServiceClientFactory object
ServiceClientFactory myFactory = ServiceClientFactory.createInstance(connectionProps);
//Create a ServiceClient object
ServiceClient myServiceClient = myFactory.getServiceClient();
//Create a Map object to store the parameter value
Map params =
new HashMap();
File file =new File("C:/test1/test.xdp");File ofile =
new File("C:/TestProcess.pdf");
//String formName = "RD410-4.xdp";
InputStream inFile =new FileInputStream(file);OutputStream oFileStream =
new FileOutputStream(ofile);
byte[] cData = "".getBytes();
Document inputData =
new Document(inFile);
// Document outputData = new Document(oFileStream);
inputData.passivate();
params.put("Form", inputData);params.put(
"FormId", "12");params.put(
"RevId", "12");params.put(
"OutputType", "PDF");params.put(
"targetSubmission", "http://localhost:8090/LCWebProject/HandleData");params.put(
"param1",1);
InvocationRequest invokeRequest = myFactory.createInvocationRequest(
"MyApplication10/Processes/RenderForm", //Specify the short-lived process name
"invoke", //Specify the operation name
params,
//Specify input values
true); //Create a synchronous request
InvocationResponse invokeresponse = myServiceClient.invoke(invokeRequest);
Document encryptDoc = (Document) invokeresponse.getOutputParameter("outputFile");
//Save the encrypted PDF document returned by the process
//Save the password-encrypted PDF document
File outFile =new File("C:\\test1.pdf");encryptDoc.copyToFile (outFile);
I see the output parameter "outputFile" in the invokeresponse object. But it is null.
Can anyone guide me in the right direction ?
Thanks,
Jyothi

I am not giving the solution, providing you a hint..
This is the query you need to satisfy,
SELECT NVL(R.DESCRIPTION ,CP.USER_CONCURRENT_PROGRAM_NAME)
FROM FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS R, FND_CONCURRENT_PROGRAMS_VL CP,XDO_DS_DEFINITIONS_B XDS
WHERE ( ( FND_PROFILE.VALUE('CONC_REPORT_ACCESS_LEVEL') = 'U'

Go to system profiles and query for 'Concurrent:Report Access Level', responsibility you need and modify the profile name accordingly....

Error using JXL api in a KM Report

Hi Expert,
My report have to use JXL api. I have already a DC containing libraries, including JXL 2.6.2.
I declare my DC in Used DC of my report, but each time I launch it it throws me this error :
"error executing: /reporting/reports/Content Management/Tools/rise_metrics/1237311667619.xml(com.sapportals.wcm.service.reporting.ReportInput@356422d2) - java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: jxl/format/CellFormat at com.ctsao.project.rise.metrics.RISEMetrics.execute(RISEMetrics.java:460) at com.sapportals.wcm.repository.manager.reporting.monitor.ReportComponent$ReportWrapper.execute(ReportComponent.java:160) at com.sapportals.wcm.service.reporting.scheduler.ReportScheduler$Runner.run(ReportScheduler.java:220)"
Is it possible to use this API in a report or there is some restriction ?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jean-Edouard Nicolet.

Hi,
Try to include the jxl.jar file inside your private/lib folder of project and run as a workaround.

Do you have any ideas?

If I run this report locally in reports builder it works without problems. Is it possible that the setting system time of the computer has something to do with this error message? After testing and troubleshooting the last days I found out that the report runs without problems only in the morning until 12.00 AM (?). In the afternoon and evenings I get this error message...
Has anybody similar experiences?
thank you!!

Generate report with data from database package

Hi
Is it possible to generate a report where the values come from an oracle database package instead of from an sql query declared in the report itself?
If yes, how is it done?
Appreciate any help. Thx.

Hi,
You can use REF CURSORs to generate reports from a database package.
For information about REF CURSORs, please see Chapter 40 'Building a Paper Report with REF CURSORs' of the Oracle Reports Building Reports manual.
This chapter is at:

Make a Reference Quicktime Movie using QuickTime API for windows?

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to generate or modify a QuickTime Reference file?
I try to generate a QuickTime reference file (.mov) that will point to external video clip Avid OpAtom such as
\Avid MediaFIles\MXF\V1.mxf,
\Avid MediaFIles\MXF\A1.mxf,
\Avid MediaFIles\MXF\A2.mxf.
I can use Avid News Cutter (NLE) to export a Quicktime reference mov file that point to external OpAtom mxf files.
My questions are:
1. How can I use QuickTime API to generate the same QT reference?
2. Can we use QuickTime API to parse or modify the Avid Generated QT reference file?
If I want to change the referenced external video source location info can we use QT API to do that?
3. I have tried John Cromie's "QuickTime for .Net and Com Developers" using AxQTControl1.URL to parse a QT reference file, however, I can't find out where the external source clip location info in this object!!
4. I have tried Legacywindowsqttools Dunpster but still can't parse the location info.
Does anyone know where the external source clip location info hide in QT API object?

Soap API error for reports 5 pages or more

Hi,

Bummer! Thought that was the golden ticket!
Can you run that function successfully through Toad or SQL Developer for those reports? Does it return a value? It looks like it is telling you that APEX_WEB_SERVICE.MAKE_REQUEST call didn't return anything. You are just requesting xml at that point so there shouldn't (theoretically) be size issues unless maybe you are requesting the whole phone book.

You must have the correct file extention. Here's what is wirtten in the detailed help of the function:
output filename specifies the filename of the generated report.
You must have the correct extension for the type of report to generate (.xml, .htm, .html, or .zip).

Using Word Easy Table Under Report Generation takes long time to add data points to table and generate report

Hi All,
We used report generation tool kit to generate the report on word and with other API 's under it,we get good reports .
But when the data points are more (> 100 on all channels) it take a long time to write all data and create a table in the word and generate report.
Any sugegstions how to make this happen in some seconds .
Please assist.

Well, I just tried my suggestion. I simulated a 24-channel data producer (I actually generated 25 numbers -- the first number was the row number, followed by 24 random numbers) and generated 100 of these for a total of 2500 double-precision values. I then saved this table to Excel and closed the file. I then opened Word (all using RGT), wrote a single text line "Text with Excel", inserted the previously-created "Excel Object", and saved and closed Word.
First, it worked (sort of). The Table in Word started on a new page, and was in a very tiny font (possibly trying to fit 25 columns on a page? I didn't inspect it very carefully). This is probably "too much data" to really try to write the whole table, unless you format it for, say, 3 significant figures.
Now, timing. I ran this four times, two duplicate sets, one with Excel and Word in "normal" mode, one in "minimized". To my surprise, this didn't make a lot of difference (minimized was less than 10% faster). Here are the approximate times:
Generate the data -- about 1 millisecond.
Write the Excel Report -- about 1.5 seconds
Write the Word Report -- about 10.5 seconds
Seems to me this is way faster than trying to do this directly in Word.

How to create cross tab reports using RAS SDK api with Crystal Reports XI

Hi Everybody,
Iam generating reports in a web-based application with Crystal Reports XI using Report Application Server(RAS) SDK API. The columns in my report exceed that of an A4 sized page. So, when I export that report to pdf, only those columns that fit to a page are showing up. To solve, this problem, I thought of using cross tab. But, I donot know how to generate cross tab report using RAS SDK API. I have tried to get some code from the internet. But, I did not find any java code for that.Can some one give me some sample code.It is very urgent.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The easiest way I use is to create the worksheet as regular table and then when i verify the data I get (non aggregate) I duplicate it as a cross tab.
In the duplication wizard I just need to define the axis (using drag and drop).
if you want to create a cross tab from the beginning you need to define that in the new workbook wizard (check the "cross tab" rather then "table"), chose your fields and define the place you want them.
The data point (the center of the cross tab) is aggregated as to your machine definition and will happen automatically.
for example: to find the amount of receipt by months:
On the left put the "Buyer Name", on top put the "Months" and in the data point put the amount.
What you'll get is something like:
months: jan feb mar apr ......
buyer_name
jhon_smith 100 50 30 250 ......
jhon_doe 80 45 90 453 ........
and so on.....

Generating reports in .doc format (Word Document) using Java POI - HWPF

Hi
Can anybody help me how to generate the report in .doc format using POI API?
Please share the sample code, if you have.
Thanks in Advance
Dhilip

Hi,
I dont think that your requirement has to do with ADF capabilities.
You want to edit a word document with JAVA. For that reason, you will need an API, as the suggestions above.
You can do it without ADF and by using standard JAVA and the API of your choice. a static void main will do for that matter.
ADF comes into the game when you want to handle the document with your ADF application.
This means that you either want to get your new data to be placed on your doc from BC or any other DataControl or you want to do something else with ADF..
My guess is that you want to get data from ADF into your Doc.
You could create an API on handling your Doc and then use it into your ADF application.

How to test a generated report in my application by using web test written with Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate

Hello,
My application generates report in different formats, such as: Adobe, Excel, XML, CSV and HTML
I have a webtest that makes all preparations, then generates a report.
In my application I have an option either to save the new generated report or open it.
When I try to open the new report, the web test doesn't see it and therefore not allows me to test it.
Please refer me to knowledge base or let me know how to resolve this type of issues.
Thanks.
qatm

Hi qatm,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this web performance test is used to verify the Http request/respond work correctly in VS, and the browser session is then displayed as a list of URLs in the Web Performance Test Editor.
However, as you said that you want to test a generated report in my application by using web performance test in VS2012 Ultimate. If the report is not as the Http format, so I think that it is not possible to test a generated report by using web performance
test.
Thanks for your understanding.

Issue while generating report using web.show_document with https

Hi All,
I am facing some issue while seeing the report using web.show_document as shown below:
https://ucrmskr.apac.nsroot.net:10301/forms/html/001725032_gca.rtf_
In this case the report opens directly without asking for me to save or open or cancel option
whereas if I hit
http://scrmskr.apac.nsroot.net:7801/forms/html/001725032_gca.rtf_
it asks for save or open or cancel option
so that I can save the report to my machine and open in wordpad format
The report generated in the first case is not coming in proper format

Custom report using KM API Error

Hi All,
I have to create a report using KM API. i got the custom report using KM API from sdn and I imported into my NWDS. While i compile it, it is giving me this error.
"The project cannot be build because the classpath for com.sap.netweaver.bc.rf.common.exception.ResourceException is not found."
I have imported all the required jar files.
How can i rectify this error? Could anyone help me out in this issue?
Regards,
Divya

Hi Divya,
> I have imported all the required jar files
First, I don't know what you mean with "imported" - in any case, you should not put the JARs into your project but just reference these.
Also, obviously you have not referenced all the required jar files; ResourceException is part of bc.rf.common_api.jar, which is part of portal application com.sap.netweaver.bc.rf, at least for NW2004s.
Please use the ClassLocator tool (search the WebLogs for this term to get some initial instruction) to avoid such questions in the future. It will make your life much easier.
Hope it helps
