Viewing reports from EBS

Hi ,
I am new to BI Publisher with EBS.I have one query , Can I see the reports generated in EBS at a later point of time.
Suppose , I generated the report two days back and want to see the same report with same data today.
Can I do that?
Thanks!!

Inside EBS, Publisher works just like OReports - its just another report source with some added bells and whistles. So the concurrent manager manages the requests, so once you run the report thru the conc manager it then manages the report outputs.
IF you want, you can find the request you ran three days ago and re-publish it wit hthe same data different layout/output format.
These might make things clearer

Hi,
You can use FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST for submitting the report. The syntax is as follows:
function FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST
(application IN varchar2 default NULL,
program IN varchar2 default NULL,
description IN varchar2 default NULL,
start_time IN varchar2 default NULL,
sub_request IN boolean default FALSE
argument1,
argument2, ..., argument99,
argument100) return number;
Here is the code that I used for submitting XML Report Publisher from within my Oracle Report's AfterReport trigger. The parameters are explained.
a:=FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST('XDO', 'XDOREPPB','Varun XML Report Printing', NULL, FALSE, :P_CONC_REQUEST_ID , 'MYONT','MY_PREPACK_XML','en-US' ,'N', 'RTF', :p_output_format,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,
NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL,NULL );
srw.message(123,'Value of New Request : ' || a ||' Output Format :'||:p_output_format);
Hope it helps.

How to call an OBIEE report from EBS

Hi,
I'm trying to call an OBIEE report from an EBS menu.
I have setup the following form function calling SSWA jsp type function
Web HTML
OracleOasis.jsp?mode=OBIEE&function=Go&Path=/shared/APA%20Real%20Time/AR/AR02%20Revenue%20by%20Account%20Report&Action=Prompt
When I click the menu item OBIEE returns the following;
No Columns
The request cannot be performed because it contains no columns.
Can anyone please enlighten me on how to do this correctly
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
I did some further investigation. The syntax to your Oracle BI Answers should be as follows;
OracleOasis.jsp?mode=OBIEE&function=Go&parameters=Path~/shared/APA%20Real%20Time/AR/AR02%20Revenue%20by%20Account%20Report
Check the following for more details;

Run report from EBS with Discoverer running on a separate server

Hi.
Usually, when I define a report as a form function, it can be accessed using an URL.
In my current project, Discoverer (10g) is running on a separate application server (but using the same database). Is there any way of specifying a function in E-Business Suite to open a report from an external server?

Actually, the URL is to a form function, which in turn will open the report. This URL is just pasted into a jsp in iStore.
If there's another and maybe better solution, I'd really like to know.
I think the ideal solution would be a jsp querying the database and displaying all Discoverer reports assigned to a specific responsibility, then linking directly to the report in viewer, but I don't think this is doable without extensive work.

How to view report from a Form

I am trying to call a parameter report from a form passing all
the parameters, using RUN_PRODUCT procedure. I want to display
the report and not to print it. I set the destination type
to 'sysout' and the mode to BATCH. I think the mode has to be
batch in order to hide the parameter form and display the report.
In the actual report, I have set the initial value for the
destination type to be sysout.
But, I am getting the error saying for destination type sysout,
the mode should be BATCH. That's what I have. So does any one
has any idea, what I am doing wrong or is this a bug?
Thanks for your reply and time.

500 Internal Server Error while trying to view report from portal page

Hello guys,
We are using BI7. while accessing the queries for the reports, its displaying the 500 Internal Server Error. The error message is:
500 Internal Server Error
Failed to process request; contact your system administrator
BEx Web Application " I_Qnc()2ex.........(etc) does not exist.The application was either ended by a timout or an error occured.
Need your help on this..
Thanks in Advance,
Yogesh.

In which environment are you running this query? Is it Dev. system or Quality/testing or Production ?
1.Generally in most of the cases this will be a TimeOut Error, but not necessarily just that,500 Error applies to variety of problems within the server.
Try and restrict the query to populate less amount of data and check if you get teh same error, if so the check for latest OSS note, have a look at your SP level as well before applying the oss note if relevant.
2. If this doesnt solve,then recheck the query.
Due to large amounts of data in production the OLAP and front -end might require more amount of time than assigned, though not recommended, you can check by changing the waiting time just for thsi query to make sure that this is the problem and not something else which requires basis assistance.

Is it not possible to print the Excel generated reports from EBS!!

Is is true that the Excel generated by XML Publisher is not printable from Oracle Applications. Does the printers do not have drivers to understand EXCEL format (which from XML Publisher is XHTML not binary .xls.) So for printed output we should only use PDF ??
Please advice!!
Thanks.

Hi,
Actually the Excel format generated by XML Publisher is XHTML ... so the print process would need to convert XHTML to Postscript (similar to PDF being converted to Postscript by pdf2ps).
But you question is still valid... unfortunately I haven't tried it ... anyone else?

Unable to view report from Bex Report Designer

Hi,
When I log on to Bex Report Designer, I click execute button, it is giving a blank page. It is neither giving any error nor any message. We have recently installed NW2004s and BI Cont 703. Now my problem is how to make report visible in the BEX Report Designer.
Thanks,
Subhani

Dear Prakash,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I have religiously followed your Blog. As far as I know any one who wanna setup BEx has to follow this. It is the one place where all the settings related to BEx front end were discussed and disclosed. Thanks a lot for your exemplary attempt.
Though you have mentioned about the .NET frame work I could not understand how it will effect the "insert" menu of BEx report designer. But i have checked that also and its matching with your recommendations.
My question is pretty simple. With sapgui6.40compilation5 with all the latest patches both for gui, BW and BI. Will i get the options of "Report section", "Report section based on Querry"in the "insert" menu of BEx report designer.
The mentioned options "Report section", "Report section based on Querry" were shown in the webnair of BEx report designer. Pls check the link:
(As per the SDN these menu items should be available in BEx report designer..Pls observe the Insert menu in the very first few seconds)
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/9c059b57-0701-0010-3283-e5e8669f827e
We have installed and upgraded the system to spstack 8 and done all the settings. Our front end is also updated with the service packs. But we could not get those options. If you can give me your mail id i can send you the screen shots.
Thanks & Regards,

How to migrate Power View reports and respective BISM connections from one SharePoint environment to another?

Hello All,
We have a few Power View reports and respective BISM connections that need to be migrated from our DEV SharePoint 2013 site to our TEST Sharepoint 2013 site. The reports have been "migrated" over but they do not work. Eventually, I just recreated
all the Power View reports from the BISM connections.
We have to do one more Sharepoint migration, and I'd rather not have to recreate the reports. What do we need to do in order to migrate the Power View reports seamlessly?
Thanks,
Carter

I created a new BISM in the new SharePoint site with the same name and modified the cinneciton string in the report and uploaded the PowerView Reports ( download from the existing SP site ).
Please see the below link to modify the connection string in the PowerView report.

Print to multifunction printers from ebs

Dear all,
we run ebs 11.5.10.2 on Windows and we would like to install multifunction printers. We would like ebs users to logon to multifunction printers in order to print reports from ebs. The question is that since printing is be done via one database user, multifunction printers wouldn't know which is the user, therefore users couldn't receive their printouts. Do you have any ideas on how to solve this?
Kind regards,
George

Hi,
Normally Outlook rules only print via the default printer, selecting the printers is beyond the control of Outlook build-in rules.
If you have a rule written via a script, I suggest you post the question and the script to MSDN forum, in which you can get script specific support:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/home?category=officedev
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Execute BIP Reports from Concurrent Manager

We currently have EBS and are using XML Publisher that is embedded in EBS.
However, we would like to deploy a dedicated BIP Server for our reporting needs and call our reports from EBS via concurrent jobs.
Is there a documented method to accomplish this?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
You could call BIP web services eg. from java concurrent programs, but with separate BIP server you'd have extra licensing, integration complexity to contend with.
Is your issue performance or do you want to use BIP Server functionality independently? If performance, might be better to go for parallel concurrent processing.
Are the reports you mention in "call our reports" custom reports or standard EBS reports? Either way you'd need to create the reports on BIP server and consider integration.

Gareth

Requesting an overview of how to call a Java program from EBS.

Hi,
I am an experienced Java developer in the middle of an implementation of EBS 12g. I am very new to EBS and I'm not sure where to start on this. I need to provide users the ability to call a Java program that prints a report from EBS. I would be grateful if somebody would outline the general approach that should be used. Links to documentation/tutorials are appreciated also.
Thanks,

Opening a specific Interactive report from a link

Hello,
I have a chart which links back to a page with interactive report. I want to make sure that every time user clicks on the link on the chart page, he is shown the default report view. But currently it shows the last viewed report from various saved reports. Is there a way I can call the default report. I tried RIR in clear cache section of the link but does not seem to take me back to default report.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards,
Bhavesh

Have you looked at the actual Javascript that is called when an interactive report is reset? You might be able to use this in a region that is conditionally "displayed" when the page is called from the chart. Perhaps using the REQUEST as the condition.

Scratch 22: Creating XML Publisher report from scratch in eBS

Problem:
How to build a XML Publisher (XMLP) report in eBS from scratch. Thus NOT adapting or converting an existing report.
Context:
I have an eBS R12 Vision instance up and running where I want to learn building XMLP reports.
This is what all tutorials I can find tell me to do:
Most reports apparently consist of a layout template e.g. TEST.rtf and a data template e.g. TEST.xml. Now in order to generate a new report layout I am supposed to take existing output in XML format and (using ‘Load Data’ function in Template Builder plugin in Word) specify in my layout template where and how I want the actual data to pop up. So far so good.
But now I want to build the data template from scratch and use it combined with a layout template. So I build the data template but can’t use that for building the layout template. For that I need output, for which I need a layout template.....
Sounds like Catch 22 to me. How do I break this?
1. Can I generate an XML-output file from the XML Data Template alone?
2. Can I build my (RTF) layout template directly based upon the XML Data Template?
3. Or have I completely lost the plot?
Oh yes, dunno the first thing about Java and do not have My Oracle Support..

1. Can I generate an XML-output file from the XML Data Template alone?
create data definition with your data template-> create concurrent -> output as xml -> run -> view output and your xml
I thought the XDODTEXE engine would pick up the (Layout) Template through concurrent program definition CPD short name which in turn points to the Data Definition (and thus Data Template). So does your answer mean I can call straight from CPD to Data Definition? I tried registering my Data Template in the Template Tab but it will not take XML as a type.2. Can I build my (RTF) layout template directly based upon the XML Data Template?
if you want to use xml publisher desktop then you need xml (with data, not definition)
So that's not an option I understand. Weird cuz I'd expect this to be technically easier.btw you can create your layout (rtf) without xml (data) and without data template (xml with select statement)
create filed and past tag definition
Yes but in that case I'd have an empty report. How would that help me?bouble click on filed:
"Text Form Field Options" -> "Add Help Text ..." -> "Status Bar" (tab) -> "Type your own:"
if you use bi publisher desktop plugin
bouble click on filed:
"BI Publisher Properties" -> "Advanced" -> "Code"
or switch to Word Properties
"BI Publisher Properties" -> "Word Properties" and use above path
3. Or have I completely lost the plot?
may be ;)
