Using mulitple data models in a report
Is it possible to use more than one data model in a report? For example, we have many reports that are based on several data models. There are also various sub-templates that could be associated with a report, independent of the report's main data model. I cannot see a way to join data models, leaving me with only two apparent choices:
1) Add (replicate) all the sub-template data sources and data sets to each data model
2) Create a mega model that has everything.
Any ideas for a better solution? Seems like a common problem...
Thanks,
Armand
Hello, and thank you for answering.
Puting a # infront of portal30.wwctx_api.get_user didn't work
When i did that, it resulted in this pl/sql code in the package:
if l_column.get_value = '#portal30.wwctx_api.get_user' then
l_style := l_row.get_style;
l_style.set_color('blue');
l_style.set_background_color('red');
l_style.set_font('');
l_style.set_bold('NO' );
l_style.set_italic('NO');
l_style.set_underline('NO');
l_style.set_blink('NO');
l_row.set_style(l_style);
end if;
It looks like the portal treat all that is inside the value field as text.
I tried to come around the problem by editing the plsql code which is stored in the database. This worked, but when i tried to edit it from the portal afterwards, my changes wasn't reflected.

Data model in Interactive Reporting
Hi,
Could any one clarify me on What is Data model in Interactive report and how we can use exactly.A data model is the physical representation of your tables joined together.
In SQL terms it the FROM and WHERE (JOIN) clauses.
an IR Query section depends on a Data Model. That Data Model can be a Master Data Model (Shared with many Query Sections) or a regular Data Model.
Master Data Models cannot be changed within the Query Section - Their Background is Grey and will indicate so in the upper left corner of the screen...
Locked Data Model: {data model section name}
Master Data Models are useful in that you only design it once and then it and its connection are shared with many Query Sections. And modifications to the Data Model are then applied in the Data Model Section and each dependent Query Section has those changes.
For a more comple defintion open Interactive Reporting and go to HELP. In the Search type "Data Modeling"
You will have plenty to read.

Custom Reports Data Model - can't report on custom dictionaries
Custom Reports Data Model - can't report on custom dictionaries
In QA and Prod I see custom dictionaries in the Custom Reports Data Model, in Test there are none.
Dictionaries and Sevices marked Reportable are not showing up under Dictionaries and Services Dimensions.
I rerun the ETL and the scheduled tasks, but no luck. any suggestions?Do you see any error when you run the ETL, i.e. the Java ETL embedded with the app server?

Hi There,
I have created two data model for my report. The queries have no relation to each other. Is that possible to put both these in one report with same user parameters. or do u have any better suggestion to do this.
For Example:
select count(*) from (select name "Worker" from person
where start_date between (:P_1) and (:P_2)
select count(*) from (select name "ADMIN PERSON" from admin
where start_date between (:P_1) and (:P_2)
ThanksHi Jagjit,
I created one report with 2 SQL queries:
select count(*) from employees where department_id < :P_1
and
select count(*) from departments where department_id < :P_1
And it worked fine. So your report should be OK. By the way, a report has just one "Data Model". It is possible to have 2 or more "Queries" in the data model.

Some observations on my first use of Data Modeler Beta
First of all, I can see this tool has a lot of promise.
I hope Oracle keeps at it, it could turn into a real winner if all the features I see being worked on mature.
Thanks!
Here are a few observations on things that I found non-obvious or tedious to do.
1. When designing an entity, I want to give it a name, a definition, attributes and keys. I want that process to be quick and require the minimum amount of mouse-clicking/navigation fiddling as possible. The current way of defining the attribute's datatype and size is painfully slow. I have to click to get a pop-up. Then I have to click to choose from a set of categories. Then I have to click on a dropdown list. If I try to use the down-arrow on the dropdown list, it works, but not if I go past the one I want. The up-arrow won't take me backwards in the list, so more clicking. It's just a nasty, slow interface to do a simple task that I have to do a thousand times in a data model. If I need to change the size of something, back I go thru the entire process all over again.
That makes it doubly slow to work in the most natural way, which is to list the attributes and the datatypes, then come back and refine the sizes once the model is maturing and relatively stable.
2. Adding an additional attribute requires a mouse click instead of a down-arrow. That means I have to take my hands off the keyboard to add a new attribute. Maybe there is some short-cut key that does that, but I have better things to do than memorize non-standard keyboard mappings. Make the down/up arrows works as they should.
3. Adding the comment that describes the attributes is not quite as slow, but still requires more keystrokes/mouse movements than it should. It's hard enough to get developers to document their attributes, don't discourage them.
4. I can't see the list of attributes, data types, sizes, key/mandatory settings, and the comment at one time while editing the entity. Makes it harder to grasp what all the attributes mean at a glance, which slows down the modeling and the comprehension of an existing model.
5. All the entities I created had primary keys with columns in them. But when I tried to have it build a physical model, it complained that some relationships had no columns in them. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to fix that. Never had that problem in any other case tool.
6. Getting it to generate DDL was awkward to find. Make it something obvious, like a button on the toolbar that says "Generate DDL".
7. Apostrophes in the Comments in RDBMS are not escaped, so the generated DDL won't run.
8. For the ease of use/speed of use testing on high-volume key tasks, make the developers do the task 1000 times in a row. Make them use long names that require typing, not table A with columns c1, c2 and c3. Long before they get to iteration 1000 they will have many ideas on how to make that task easier and faster to do.
9. Make developers use names of things that are the maximum length allowed. For example, for a table name in oracle, the max length of the name is 30 characters. The name of one testing table should be AMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMZ. That's a capital A followed by 28 capital M's and a capital Z. For numbers, use the pattern 1555559. If the developers can't see the A and Z or 1 and 9 in the display area for the name in the default layout for the window, they did the display layout wrong. For places where the text can be really long, choose a "supported visible length" for that field and enter data in the pattern AMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMQMMMMMMMMZ, where Q is placed at the supported visible length. if the A and Q don't show, the layout is wrong.
10. SQL Developer has quite a few truly gooberish UI interaction designs and I can see some of that carrying over to the Data Modeler tool. I really recommend getting a windows UI expert to design the ui interface, not a java expert. I've seen a lot of very productive windows user interfaces and extremely few java interfaces suitable for high-speed data entry. Give the UI expert the authority to tell the java programmers "I don't want to hear about java coding internals - make the user interface perform this way." I think the technical limitations in java UIs are much less than the mindset limitations I've seen in all to many programmers. That, and making the developers use their code 1000 times in a row to perform key tasks will cause the UI to get streamlined considerably.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!Dear David,
Again thank you for your valuable and highly appreciated feedback. Find included a more elaborated answer to your observations:
*1. When designing an entity, I want to give it a name, a definition, attributes and keys.*
In the new Early Adopter Release, a "SQL developer like" property window has been added for Entities and Tables. For each attribute/column you will have the ability to add name, datatype, Primary Key, Mandatory and comment from one and the same screen
*2. Adding an additional attribute requires a mouse click instead of a down-arrow.*
An enhancement request has been created
*3. Adding the comment that describes the attributes is not quite as slow, but still requires more keystrokes/mouse movements than it should.*
In the new Early Adopter Release, a "SQL developer like" property window has been added for Entities and Tables. For each attribute/column you will have the ability to add name, datatype, PK, M and comment from one and the same screen
*4. I can't see the list of attributes, data types, sizes, key/mandatory settings, and the comment at one time while editing the entity. Makes it harder to grasp what all the attributes mean at a glance, which slows down the modeling and the comprehension of an existing model.*
See former answers. For meaning of attributes you can also use the Glossary and Naming Standardization facilities: see Tools Option menu, Glossary and General Options for naming standards
*5. All the entities I created had primary keys with columns in them. But when I tried to have it build a physical model, it complained that some relationships had no columns in them. For the life of me, I couldn't figure out how to fix that. Never had that problem in any other case tool.*
A Bug report has been created. Issue will most probably be solved in the nexr Early Adopter release
*6. Getting it to generate DDL was awkward to find. Make it something obvious, like a button on the toolbar that says "Generate DDL".*
An enhancement request has been created.
*7. Apostrophes in the Comments in RDBMS are not escaped, so the generated DDL won't run.*
A bug report has been created
*8. For the ease of use/speed of use testing on high-volume key tasks, make the developers do the task 1000 times in a row. Make them use long names that require typing, not table A with columns c1, c2 and c3. Long before they get to iteration 1000 they will have many ideas on how to make that task easier and faster to do.*
I aplogize, but I don't understand clearly what you want to say with the use/speed of use here.
*9. Make developers use names of things that are the maximum length allowed.*
Our relational model is for use for not just Oracle, but also DB2, SQL Server and in the future maybe other database systems. Whicjh means that we can't taylor it to just one of these database systems. However you can set maxinum name lenghts by clicking right on the diagram and select Model Properties and here you can set naming Options. Here you can also use the Glossary and Naming Standardization facilities: see Tools Option menu, Glossary and General Options for naming standards
*10. SQL Developer has quite a few truly gooberish UI interaction designs and I can see some of that carrying over to the Data Modeler tool.*
Fully agree. As you will see in our next Early Adopter release we have started to use SQL Developer like UI objects.

How to create a report using XML data source from Crystal Report Designer
Hi,
Iu2019m having Crystal Report Designer XI R2 SP4. Iu2019m trying to create a report using XML data source stored on disk. This is a customer order report and the xml is structured in such a way that it has an order details header part (master) and then it has several order lines (detail). One order line can have several order line characteristics (detail-detail). So what I need to know is now I can design this layout from the designer. If this was done using views I can do it with sub-reports but using xml data this seems to be different. Can you help me to design this layout? I have included the xml and xsd as well.
Thank you in advance.
Regards,
Chanaka

</xs:schema>Hi Sourashree,
Thank you for the response and ideas you have given me so far. I can get the fetch the data from the data source without any problem. That is I do the following,
1. New Report
2. From Create New Connection-> XML
3. Provide the u201CLocal XML Fileu201D and have u201CSpecify Schema Fileu201D checked -> Next
4. Provide the u201CLocal Schema Fileu201D -> Finish
Then I can see the following under XML
+ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST
CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES
CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS
CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
And from here if I add the following three I can get all the fields I need to the report
CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP
CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE
CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP_REQUEST/ CUSTOMER_ORDER_CONF_REP/ORDER_LINES/ORDER_LINE/ORDER_LINE_CHARACTERSTICS/CHARACTERSTIC_ITEM
Then I come to the Linking section. Here I canu2019t link anything. There is a common field called u201CInternal_IDu201D but I canu2019t link using it. So I get a message when I click Next. From here I add all the fields.
For this point onwards only I need help. How do I group, add fields and design the layout so I can get an report output as follows.

How can I achieve this kind of a layout using the give xml and xsd? Should I use grouping if so how should I do the grouping?
I have included the full xml and xsd in the first mail I posted but I canu2019t see it now. I can include that again if you want.

How do I apply filters or limit the rows on my report using a Date field in SQL report builder 3.0?
I have a status of completed and a date field in the dataset. The date field is either empty or contains a date. All 2015 dates are holding dates.
So how can I limit the report to only pull completed status with an empty date or a holding date?
I have not been able to set an OR option on a date field filter and if I add two filters on the date column one for empty one for > 12/31/2014 then it treats it as an "and" and pulls nothing from the list I have in sharepoint.
any help will be appreciated.Hi MB,
In Reporting Services, the relationship of filters is “And”, and there is no option to change the relationship from “And” to “Or”. While we can use “or” operator within the expression to create one filter to integrated all filters to work around this
issue.
We can add a filter as follows in the dataset to limit the rows in your report:
Expression: =Fields!date.Value is nothing or Fields!date.Value>"12/31/2014" Type: Boolean
Operator: =
Value: true
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Sending reports to various recipients using a data field on the report
Hi,
I am currently running Crystal Reports Server 2008 with SP 3 applied.
I was wondering if this was possible.
I have a report that I would like to be sent to an email address field on the table that the report runs from. Fields are something like this:
Amount Due, Invoice #, Client's email address, Date
What I would like CRS to do is send out emails depending on what's on the table. Obviously I would need the server to send out the report to a particular client with only the records that should be for them.
I, for some reason, thought there was an ability to add a field from the report on the email itself using brackets or some sort of variable but I'm not sure if this is true.
If anyone can help, I would appreciate it greatly.
Thanks!You can use Publications for that. As far as I know this should be supported natively in CRS 2008 with SP3.
Take a look at the demo on building a data-driver publication here:
http://www.sap.com/solutions/sap-crystal-solutions/information-infrastructure/sapcrystalserver/featuresfunctions/index.epx
You have to have CALs (concurrent access licenses) though.

XML Parse issues when using Network Data Model LOD with Springframework 3
Hello,
I am having issues with using using NDM in conjuction with Spring 3. The problem is that there is a dependency on the ConfigManager class in that it has to use Oracle's xml parser from xmlparserv2.jar, and this parser seems to have a history of problems with parsing Spring schemas.
My setup is as follows:
Spring Version: 3.0.1
Oracle: 11GR2 and corresponding spatial libraries
Note that when using the xerces parser, there is no issue here. It only while using Oracle's specific parser which appears to be hard-coded into the ConfigManager. Spring fortunately offers a workaround, where I can force it to use a specific parser when loading the spring configuration as follows:
-Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl But this is an extra deployment task we'd rather not have. Note that this issue has been brought up before in relation to OC4J. See the following link:
How to change the defaut xmlparser on OC4J Standalone 10.1.3.4 for Spring 3
My question is, is there any other way to configure LOD where it won't have the dependency on the oracle parser?
Also, fyi, here is the exception that is occurring as well as the header for my spring file.
org.springframework.beans.factory.xml.XmlBeanDefinitionStoreException:
Line 11 in XML document from URL [file:/C:/projects/lrs_network_domain/service/target/classes/META-INF/spring.xml] is invalid;

Why is it happening?
The xmlparserv2.jar uses the JAR Services API (Service Provider Mechanism) to change the default javax.xml classes used for the SAXParserFactory, DocumentBuilderFactory and TransformerFactory.
How did it happen?
The javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder looks for custom implementations by checking for, in this order, environment variables, %JAVA_HOME%/lib/jaxp.properties, then for config files under META-INF/services on the classpath, before using the default implementations included with the JDK (com.sun.org.*).
Inside xmlparserv2.jar exists a META-INF/services directory, which the javax.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder class picks up and uses:
META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory (which defines oracle.xml.jaxp.JXDocumentBuilderFactory as the default)
META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory (which defines oracle.xml.jaxp.JXSAXParserFactory as the default)
META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory (which defines oracle.xml.jaxp.JXSAXTransformerFactory as the default)
Solution?
Switch all 3 back, otherwise you'll see weird errors. javax.xml.parsers.* fix the visible errors, while the javax.xml.transform.* fixes more subtle XML parsing (in my case, with apache commons configuration reading/writing).
QUICK SOLUTION to solve the application server startup errors:
JVM Arguments (not great)
To override the changes made by xmlparserv2.jar, add the following JVM properties to your application server startup arguments. The java.xml.parsers.FactoryFinder logic will check environment variables first.
-Djavax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl -Djavax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory=com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl
However, if you run test cases using @RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) or similar, you will still experience the error.
BETTER SOLUTION to the application server startup errors AND test case errors:
Option 1: Use JVM arguments for the app server and @BeforeClass statements for your test cases.
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory","com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl");
If you have a lot of test cases, this becomes painful.
Option 2: Create your own Service Provider definition files in the compile/runtime classpath for your project, which will override those included in xmlparserv2.jar.
In a maven spring project, override the xmlparserv2.jar settings by creating the following files in the %PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources directory:
%PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory (which defines com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl as the default)
%PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory (which defines com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl as the default)
%PROJECT_HOME%/src/main/resources/META-INF/services/javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory (which defines com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.trax.TransformerFactoryImpl as the default)
These files are referenced by both the application server (no JVM arguments required), and solves any unit test issues without requiring any code changes.

2) In options to manage the Table report (Reports -> Manage). Currently I can only remove a heading (like Descriptions Notes ,columns,column comments.). Is there is any way to customize the report in such a way that I can remove some columns (mostly the empty ones) from the report and add the column comments along with the column table than a new column comments table.
Please let me know ,is there is an option to customize the report .
Note: I even tried generating the report using the search then report , but it doesn't give a complete report (i was only able to generate a report on column or table name or constraints , not all together.)
Thanks,
Srinivasan.KThanks for the immediate reply.
I checked on the DM again, the report comes good for the one which has the data type . But now all my data type changed to UNKNOWN and lokks like ,due to this my table report is coming without the "Data Type".
Can you please help me in fixing this unknown data type issue ?

Any idea how to go about sorting this out?
ThanksHi i have the Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler version 2.0.0 installed.
When i try to export one diagram to the reporting schema, i get the following error : "Error occurred while exporting to Reporting Schema.See the log file for details".

Authorizations for WEBI report based on BPC data model
Hi All,
We are strugelling with setting up authorisations for the reporting on BPC data model.
We created Bex query on top of Multiprovider that consists of BPC cube. The Bex query is source for WEBI output. The authorisations has been set up on BPC data model (cube) in BPC application but they are not passed nor to Bex query nor to Webi. Example: The query is build on top of OPEX BPC data model, this data model is restricted based on Oranizational Unit. My test user is allowed to see only Org Unit = 'Australia' in the OPEX BPC data model, however when I'm running the report I can see absolutely everything.
We are not connecting/using any BI cubes itself for this reporting. We are intrested only in the WEBI report based on BPC data models.
We were trying to use BPC data model (without any extra settings) as the source for BEx report, we were also trying to use virtual BPC data model as the source for Bex transient query - but non of these have helped.
Can you please advise how the authorisations should be set up for WEBI reporting on BPC data models?
KasiaAnybody can help with this issue please?

How to seperate Power Pivot Data Model and Power Pivot Report from Single Workbook.
HI Team,
Initially, We have created Power Pivot report in workbook, containing Source Data Model as well.
Now, we want to convert workbook having model as Shared Data Model, and all report needs to be part of single workbook.
I want to implement one of the below solution, but know how to do it.
1. Separate and Export all Power Pivot report sheet into single Excel Workbook such that it will have all report sheets.
2. Use Same Model as it is and delete reports from existing one after export to new excel workbook.
OR
Is there is any other way to avoid re-creation of reports again? I want to use same report but instead of Embedded Excel data source, I want to use shared data Source in excel.One option is to use one workbook as the data source(model) and other workbooks for the reports. This works in the stand alone Excel and SharePoint versions of Power BI, but not yet in O365 Power BI version.
There is no export functionality. You would have to copy the workbook and update data source references. I have never tried it, but in theory it should work :).

Hi Michael,
Yes your answer is partially correct..thanks for reply, I am working on Power Pivot reports on SharePoint.
However, below issues observed.
1. There is No Export Functionality ( as you told)
2. We can not copy report sheet from workbook1 (which has Data Model) to Workbook2 ( only for report) using Control + C (copy) and Control + V (paste) option.
Or Move Power Pivot Table ..
So, solution can be (as you said, unfortunately I tried it already but dint worked)
1. Copied workbook with New Name - Workbook2.
2. Go to Data -> I tried to change connection setting -> to use shared Data Model -> I could create new Pivot table using shared Data Model
But, Still I could use earlier designed Power Pivot tables as it is, to point to shared data model.
I don't want to re-design entire report. As my project workbook has plenty reports.... :)
