Web Template - Report designer

Hi ,
Is it possible to call Report designed in report designer in Web template ?
If so please do let us know
Cheers
Ram

I am not sure whether I understood your question correctly.
While defiing the web template, make the report that you created in the report designer, as data provider. With that, the template read data from the report that you assign in the template when the template is called in the URL.

Printing Web Template reports

Hi,
I have a requirement. First one template should be created with a check-box listing (say) 10 web-template names.. And when i Check first 5 reports and click 'print' button, the output of the first 5 web templates should be printed.. is it possible that this can be done?
Regards,

Pascal,
The problem here is that Reports formats pages based on the dimensions given in the section property palette (take a look in the property palette for the body section - I bet that you'll see a height of 11 and width of 8.5). So as far as Reports is concerned you have only created one page (or six pages, or whatever).
Now, when the browser takes the html (I presume that you're outputting in html format), then the browser is taking the reports output and rendering it, which leads to the problem that you're seeing (you may get a different number of pages output). This primarily occurs because html is essentially a single page medium.
There are a couple of solutions you could try:
1) Use a different format that supports multiple pages for a single document. The obvious choice here would be pdf.
2) Use the page streaming functionality (run the report with PAGESTREAM=YES on the cgi command line). This will result in only one reports formatted page at a time being returned to the browser, but will mean that the user needs to print multiple times.
You could also try increasing the size of the page dimensions in the builder, but this isn't really a maintainable solution (you'll always hit a limit at some point).
Hope this helps,
Danny

Pre-calculation Web Template - Reporting Agent Error

We have a dozen web templates that are precalculated for HTML output via a Reporting Agent scheduling package. The package fails once in a while with the following error:
System error in program SAPLRSDRC and form /BIC/... BRAIN299
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
The infocube's fact table is displayed after "/BIC" above. Any ideas? I have searched the forum and the OSS notes.

There are no short dumps around the time this occurred. The job I posted above is from SM37. I think this is a lock issue, but the job log is not helping.
I am trying to see if the the aggregates were getting rebuilt around the time the web template was running.

Web Template - Report Error

Hello all,
How r u ?
We are getting this error while trying to select or modify the options in the report which is created using WAD.
<b>An exception with the type CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE occurred, but was neither handled locally, nor declared in a RAISING
Call of the method IF_HTTP_UTILITY~ESCAPE_URL of the class CL_HTTP_UTILITY failed; wrong type for parameter UNESCAPED </b>
Also, the graph is not shown if the data is more, otherwise its shown. What could be the reason ? Are there any setting to maintain for solving this ?

Sorting the values in a column in a Web Template Report

Hi All,
I have a report build on WAD in which a table is displayed with certain rows and columns and have certain text values in one column and few numeral values in the other few columns. When i right click on the 1st column(having text values) and click on Sort Ascending by Name, the values are sorted in groups.There are other 3 columns next to that column which have text values as well but when i right click on them and try to sort it in some order(ascending by name/descending by name), there are no reorganization of the values in the column. Again, once i go to the other remaining columns having numeral values in it, the values get sorted in ascending/descending order as per the sort selection. Please advise on how i can make the sort possible in the columns in which the rearrangement is not happening. Do i need to change the Query to some settings? Please advise.
Thanks!
Subhra Ghosh.

Subhra,
In BW reports, the sorting of characteristic values always happens left-to-right. When you choose to sort by columns 2 - 4, you are actually just specifying whether to sort ascending|descending and/or by key or text. This sort happens for each value of the first column, however. Therefore, the sort in column 2 is only noticeable when you have more than one row with the same value in column 1, etc.
This sorting behavior is different than the Excel type of sorting, which may be your confusion here.
If you want to sort first by a column other than column 1, you must swap the columns so that the desired characteristic is in column 1.
Hope this helps...

Web based reporting engine integrated with APEX

Hello,
I would like to use some completely web-based reporting solution for my application. My idea is that I will create some datasource, prepare database query and publish some data columns to end users (datamodel). They will choose from many of prepared data areas, create their own report using some intuitive web-based report designer and save it. I do not need it for any analytic purposes, no dynamic filters, graphs and other widgets, no BI. It will be all only about building text based reports with few dynamic fields (customer address, actual date etc..).
For example: User will prepare some document (template) with few paragraphs and add some of prepared dynamic fields into it (ie. company name, customer address, repeating table with list of employees, some image). Then he will be able to generate same document for many customers etc..
I am looking for some simple, user friendly web based application. Some external report builder for example for Jasper reports is not what I am looking for.
I will need to integrate it with Oracle 11g XE with APEX 4.2 so some API or URL parameters is must.
Used reporting engine does not be completely free, but I am able to pay max. $5000 for it
Do you have some tips?
Thank you

This could be a solution for APEX reports (interactive reports). But I want to create more complex reports, not only table based reports.
I need to create for example invoice report with some dynamic fields (customer, invoice items...), another report can be for example some contract about cooperation with some dynamic fields (contract number, personal information ...).
These reports will be mostly only text based without any table. See example bellow. How would you generate this kind of letter?
"Hello <CUSTOMER_NAME>, we would like to offer our new product <PRODUCT_NAME> to you..."
Where CUSTOMER_NAME a PRODUCT_NAME are prepared fields (from some database tables). It will be something very similar to Microsoft Word automatic mailings. User can generate many text based reports and save them as PDF.
I need to find some web based product, that will be simple for users and can be integrated with APEX.

Currency conversion not working in web templates after migration to 7.0

Hi Gurus,
I am experiencing an interesting issue in BI7. I have my web-template reports build on one or two queries. When I execute the queries from RSRT I have all the amounts properly converted to USD (there is a bex variable defined on the query level with USD as default). However, when executed from web-browser the conversions does not work when the report opens. Now, when I open the "cur. translation" option from KF popup menu and choose the same values I chose on the variable screen - everything works fine.
Have you experienced similar issue(s)? Please share your experience and kindly avoid pasting links for documentation - these I have already reviewed and it's pointless.
Thank you, KAT

Hi Nitin,
You may wish to take a look at below for few insights -

Query designer report and Web Templates

Dear All,
I have a very basic/stup doubt.
Are reports made through Bex Query Designer and Web Templates the same?
Actually there is a following requirement:-
"Navigate from a BW Web template to a PCUI application". I have a document related to it but it gives me step on how can i modify my web templates to achieve this functionality. But all my reports are made through query designer and it available to user through Web Dynpro portal.
So i just wanted to know is Web Template and Reports made through query designer the same? So that i can implement the changes in my report.
Thanks.

Hi Anup,
by using web templates we can use N number of data providers (Queries) for a single analysis view with various available options. - N number of Queries can be assigned to Web template to create a web report
but by using the Query designer ,you can create a single report which may not provide sufficient information to the client and the number of features are less compared to web template.
as you mentioned that you are using the web dynpro.
i think the web dynpro requires the web reports as an iview and ths iview can be created by using the Query designer and or web app designer.
so the most clear view can be given to client using the WAD reports

How to get the standard Menu of Query Designer into Web Template

Hi Experts,
is there a way on how to put the standard menu within Bex Query Designer (after executing a Query with the Query Designer you get into ad-hoc reporting with a menu including several functions like print, show as..., properties, etc) into an individual Bex Web Template?
Copy & Paste source code will not work I guess because of several javascript functions I don't have access to.
Thanks & Best regards
Tobias

BEx queries are displayed on the web using standard web template 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN or some customized version base don your implementation.
You can either include the 0ANALYSIS_Pattern web template in your custom template or use Save as to create a new template with 0ANALYSIS_Pattern AS THE STARTING POINT.

Security for creating web templates using web application designer

I work for ChevronTexaco as a BW Security Analyst. I have a request to set up roles for web template creation using the Web Application Designer. Where can I get help in setting up the security for these types of roles? My experience is in setting up roles for running and creating queries in BEX. I need to know what additional authorizations will enable web template creation. Setting up a trace in ST01 has been less than helpful since it dumps out tons of RS_COMP tracing that doesn't help me much.
The user wants to be able to create web templates for existing queries in BEX and restrict by rs_comp infocubes/areas/reportid, etc. and to be able to save to restricted role names. Are there new auth groups specific to this type of activity that I need to code for in addition to the basic end user or report builder authorizations?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Marc, I'll check it out. My problem was that I was trying to create the role by granting a userid sap_all, sap_new and s.a_system as well as power user auths for a specific application. I set up a trace in ST01 for authorization cking on the ID while one of our BW Central Support people went into Web Designer to create a template and everything else they wanted to do.
The resulting trace spewed out so much stuff from S_RS_comp and comp1 as to be virtually useless since it named scores of different cubes and infoareas that the analyst wasn't even interested in. The results puzzled me and made it extremely difficult to pin down the required authorizations. Usually ST01 can be used as a blueprint to create the role,ie; everything that the user touches is traced but no more than that. Have you seen this before? With just the new role I had set up the user could not save to a role unless I coded the fully qualified role name such as YRH_SENDAT_USER. YRH* would not work.
Thanks,

ABAP Interface for Web Template Design

Hi BW Gurus,
I have report published in the portal through BSP. Please some advise me what are the ABAP class files so that I can design my portal reports.
I am sure there are few class files where I can design the portal reports. Let me know your important help....
Thanks
Ganesh Reddy.

Ganesh,
CL_RSR_WWW_MODIFY_TABLE is used to customize the web templates in BW3.x.
the way I understand the data flow to web templates work is :
Query(s) --> Web Template class --> HTML --> <CL_RSR_WWW_MODIFY_TABLE - this class is optional >
This works only for Web templates though - as for classes that are used in web templates - create a web template and then assign the same to a request - you will find the classes available under that request under PHIO or something like that.

Variables defined in Query designer not affecting the web template

Hello,
I have some variables defined in a query, through Bex query designer.
The selection screen to enter the values for the variables pops up when excuted on the web or in excel .
But the variable selection screen does not pop up when i execute a web template where in i defined with the same query.
Please suggest me why it is happening so..

In WAD check in the General Properties whether you have unchecked the Force Variable Screen On Checkbox
Other thing to check is whether you have personalized the selection screen??? After Executing the Report go to selection screen by clicking on the Variable Screen option. To the left side of each variable you can see the personalization icon. right click on that and select delete personalization.
Hope this helps.
