What can be the Tech design for the following functional points

Hi All,
What can be the Technical Design preparation for the below Functional Design Points!
1. Search table Z100
Select all records where
Status (Z100-ZSTATUS) = G
Date (Z100-ZDATE ) = current month minus 1
Total price (Z100-ZTOTPR) => $5000.
Select Z100-MATNR
List Z100-MATNR and ZTOTPR
2. Then, for each MATNR, list all equipment records where
Equipment type (EQUI-EQTYP) = S
List Material (EQUI-MATNR)
WBS (EQBS-PS_PSP_PNR)
UID (EQUI-UIINR)
Serial Number (EQUI-SERNR)
3. Then compare the equipment record WBS (EQBS-PS_PSP_PNR) to the Contract Line Item WBS (VBAP-PS_PSP_PNR)
From VBAP, select the Sales Document (VBAP-VBELN) and Contract Line Item (VBAP-POSNR)
4. Then compare the Sales Document on VBAP (VBAP-VBELN) to the Sales Document on VBAK (VBAK-VBELN).
From VBAK, select the UID indicator (VBAK-UID) and Contract Number (VBAK-BSTNK).
5. If VBAK-UID is initial, go no further. No entry is required to the table.
If VBAK-UID is not initial;
Create 3 new rows on table Z200
6. Select the UID number EQUI-UIINR
If no record exists in table with UID number, create three new rows in table Z200 populate fields per the following table mapping. The table mapping shows default values, or sources in SAP, and parameters if needed. 
Can anybody tell me what is the technical design we can write for above finctional design.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Prasad.

Hi,
The functional design is very detailed and has covered almost the technical part as well. I dont think you need to add anything more. If you need to add anything then it would probably be the Selects statements. But i dont think they are required.
But once you collect the data in internal table, what should be done. Should it be sent to smartform/script or a report output should be displayed. Or are any tables to be updated.If so, then specify the same.
Best regards,
Prashant

Functional and technical design for reports

Hello BW gurus,
I am responsible for creating/developing few reports in Prod Planning and Inventory Mgmt.
Is there a template for the Functional Design and Technical Design for the reports?
How do I go about making the functional and technical design?
Thanks

jackofalltrades,
If you could give us the stage of the report -
1. whether you are reporting from existing cubes and this report would be an additional one on a existing cube or
2. The report has to be designed from the ground up ...
Depending on the same - the entire lifecycle will be different and also whether the query is to be shown on the web or through excel will be helpful.
You could have a look at ASAP Templates in the meanwhile.

How to rename sections in CR XI R2 Report Designer?

Hello!
I have developed a number of reports with the Report Designer Component in Visual Basic. In the RDC, you can rename the report sections using the VB properites for that section. I am saving these reports as .rpt files so that I can display them with with a Java client using JRC. When I edit the .rpt files in CR XI R2 Report Designer, I cannot see the section names that I gave to the sections in the RDC, and I cannot find a way to edit the section names. However, I can still access the sections in the rpt files with JRC by the names I gave them in the RDC, so the section names must be in there some where. Where does on edit/view the section names in the CR XI R2 report designer?
I have probably missed something obvious, so thanks for any help!
Edited by: Joseph Huber on Mar 17, 2010 9:20 PM

Hello,
"From the RDC, one can export the report to an RPT file. When you perfrom that operation RDC is out of the picutre"
Not correct. It is the RDC processing the report and doing the exporting.
RDC (craxdrt.dll) is COM, Java is our JAR files and the Report Designer uses crpe32 based API's and functionality plus some more embedded routines which are a combination of our API's. And I believe you may be using the Embedded Designer Control (craxddrt.dll - yes one more d ) which is another deprecated report engine and is only used in the .NET IDE for creating reports and no allowed to distribute as of CR 2008.
The Report Designer ( crw32.exe ) only has the option to use long names or short names and will display those only and not your custom names. The Java Engine ( JRC ) is relatively new and is based on existing code but completely different so no new functionality and I doubt naming of sections is included.
The Embedded Designer Control was used for third party developers to impliment into their own applications but as noted above, it's no longer supported as of CR 2008. Life cycle is about to end also for R2.
The replacement for the RDC is Report Application Server ( RAS ) and can be used in both a managed .NET as well as a Java application.
Yes it is totally confusing so Use what ever works... But this would be a minor issue which if you really want it in RAS or the JRC I can put in an Enhancement request for you?
Thank you

To view reports in new page for each cutomer using Report Designer

HI all
I have a requirement to view the data (key figures) for each customer in a new page.
I have created the same using the Report Designer tool.
Now there is setting for this Group Header 'Customer' i have selected the option 'repeat group header on each page'
still the query when generated, gives fine results for certain cases but not for all.
like it will show the each customers in a fresh page for some pages , then in midst there would some 2-3 customers in the same page.
There is no relation between these customers , they are same as the other customers, no difference at all.then i am not able to figure out the reason why it is behaving so odd.
Thanks
Ramesh

Ramesh,
right now there really is no way to solve what you are looking for. There partial solutions, but you will not be able to force a page break in a dynamic report.
Here is what I have faced, and what I have come up with so far:
I have a series of reports that have the same column heading, but spread over 5 pages in a fixed structure. I need to be able to re-use the header and the general report design with 6 reports. Here is my solution:
1. Create an outline of the report. I did all the formatting by creating a report section for each page. You can force page breaks between the pages. Upgrade to patch 1502 (came out last week) and you will see some new functionality (such as fit to page, page numbers, etc).
2. Insert all you page breaks and do all the formatting.
3. Insert an infoprovider. Once in, you can just drag and drop the key figure cells into your formatted report.
4. Create additional modification for formatting as needed.
This fixes my problem (for now), but I had to do a lot of work to come up with this. Also, the latest patch (1501 and 1502) has created an issue for me - there is a null exception when I try to use a variable or a filter value in the report body - I can't save the report. I have an OSS message out, but our BASIS guys are going to be taking the lead on troubleshooting this.
The reason that you are seeing some customers on the new pages is probably because of "how the cookie falls" - they just fit that way.
I am trying to be positive and overcome the limitations that are in place right now. If my technical issue is solved, I would recommend upgrading to the new patch (1403 is the latest stable one in my opinion)
good luck

Newbie question on report design for multiple pages - HELP!

I am upgrading an existing accounting program to use Crystal reports. The accounting program generates account statements for our investors. Each account needs to have 1 statement (which typically is only 1 page long).
I have a table that has 1 record per activity per account. Every account has a unique code and the report is set to group records by this code. Therefore, an account can have 1+ records associated with it that need to be displayed in the details section.
To test my report I have 4 records in my table -- 2 records for account code 'ABCD' and 2 records for account code 'WXYZ'. The report correctly groups the records together and summarizes the necessary information, but it DOES NOT create a page break.
I don't understand what else I need to do in the designer to force it to create a new page everytime the account code changes... It's basically a mail-merge type functionality that I am looking for!
Any help is appreciated.
SG

In the gray section to the left of the report design, right-click on the group footer for the Account Code and select 'Section Expert'. Turn on "New Page After". To prevent a blank page at the end of your report, click on the formula button to the right of the check-box and enter "not OnLastRecord".

How to convert Report Model to Report Designer DataSet

To all,
I have a two part question. One is I am experiencing the error at the end of this question when migrating SQL Server 2005 SSRS Native Reports, the report uses a Report Model, to SQL Server 2008 SSRS Native. I bring the Report and Report Model to SQL Server 2008 SSRS and get the error at the end of the question below. Background and the 2nd question are below.
I have a bunch of Report Builder based Reports. I need to convert them to VS BIDS based Report Designer Reports with Shared Datasources and MDX based DataSets.
How can I grab the MDX from the Report Builder Report Model so I can put it into the Report Designer DataSet Query Definition?
What is the easiest way to make this migration between these Report development environments.
I am able to open the Report.RDL file in VS BIDS and can see the entire UI layer. The DataSet I see here is the one that is related to the error at the end of the question. The RD/DataSet holds:

I have created a Shared Datasource that points the the correct Analysis Services cubes that the original Report Model pointed at.
However, I get this error when running the report:
An error occurred during client rendering.
An error has occurred during report processing.
Semantic query compilation failed: e EmptySemanticQuery The SemanticQuery does not contain any Groupings or MeasureGroups. SemanticQuery must contain at least one of these elements. (SemanticQuery '').

Actually the error above is from running the report on SSRS 2008 Native. Does anyone know why I get this error and how it may be resolved.
Then I try to bring the report into BIDS RD and create a SDS and DataSet. The Semantic Query above is from the RD DataSet Query window.
I get the following error when running the report in BIDS RD:
An error occured during local processing.
An error has occured during report processing.
Query execution failed for dataset 'dataSet'.
The SemanticQuery element at line 7, column 351 (namespace http://schema.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/10semanticmodeling) cannot appear under Envelope/Body/Execute/Command.
So I have two errors with two scenarios. I'd like to know how to resolve one of them.
I'd also like to know how to get the MDX from the RB/RM report so I can put it into the VS BIDS Version and get that to work properly.
Thanks,
Eric

Conditional formatting in report designer.

Hi All !
What is conditional formatting & how to do it ?
does it act like condition which we do in BEX query designer ?
Can we restrict values using this at the report designer level ?
Regards
Tom.

Hi,
Conditional Formatting: You use this function to set a design that deviates from the design for selected characteristic values, hierarchy nodes, and so on, that is set by the default row patterns.
Conditional formatting can only be applied to characteristic values in dynamic sections of a data provider. A query (or query view) with one or more characteristics in the drilldown forms the basis of a data provider with a dynamic section.
Take a look at the URL below:

How to display top 2 countries in 2 columns in Report Designer

Hello Gurus ,
I have a requirement where top 2 countries has to be displayed in two different columns in Report Designer.
is there are way to do that, i tried many differetn ways but was not successfull, apart from creating text variables and writing customer exit.
I appreciate your help
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi,
I am not sure what version you are, from version 9.3 I think there is a "Top" function, just highlight the row, tick the option for "Top", set the number and the column
Failing that if you need to use rank could you not hide the column.
Cheers
John

How to merge cells in report designer

Hello BW Experts,
How to merge cells in report designer.
Thanks in advance
BWer

Hi BWer,
I had to check for some details from Development.
You also need to have FEP 14 for the BI 7.x tools on SAP GUI 6.40, which was just released on Friday. You can find it at service.sap.com/swdc. In the format menu, you will now see a "Link Cells" option.
With the link cells option, you cannot merge across row patterns. That means that you will probably have to make some changes to your report before you can merge the cells, based on what you described.
I imagine that you started out with a report section something like the following (dashes added for formatting purposes):
G0 Header ...
G1 Header -
Controlling Area
Detail -
Func Area
And then moved controlling area to the right to the same column as functional area:
G0 Header ...
G1 Header -
Controlling Area
Detail -
Func Area
Resulting in an output that would look like:
CA1000
FA ABCA
FA ABCB
FA ABCC
CA2000
FA ABCA
FA ABCB
FA ABCC
As shown above, these cells cannot be merged because they cross row patterns. You would instead need to move the controlling area member down to the same row as functional area:
G0 Header ...
G1 Header
Detail -
Controlling Area Func Area
You can now merge these cells, resulting in an output that would look like the following:
CA1000 FA ABCA
CA1000 FA ABCB
CA1000 FA ABCC
CA2000 FA ABCA
CA2000 FA ABCB
CA2000 FA ABCC
To merge the cells, you would simply highligh both cells with your cursor and then select the option from the menu.

Katie

Writing a custom plugin for Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
I need to add a custom functionality to Crystal Report Designer so that itu2019s available as a menu option is the CRD and should able to be selected by the Report Designer when they design a report using CRD. Is it possible to write and add custom plugins to the CRD? Is there a SDK available to do this or is there a specific method that I could use? Is this supported at all? I need to add the to Crystal Report Designer XI R2 but I could use Crystal 2008 is this is available in that version.
Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Chanaka

Hi Jamie,

Report Designer - Error while opening a saved report

Hi,
I am not sure if this is an authorization issue or configuration issue.
When I try to open a saved report on Report designer, I keeping getting an error: Report Version is invalid: "0".
Has anybody faced similar problem?
We are on SP09.
Regards,
Payal.

Payal,
I am afraid, that your report might be corrupted. This might have happened, if in tx SE16 the version is changed. The Report XML displayed in SE16 for table RSERDATA, is limited to ca. 1024 charachters. When editing the version, after pressing the save button, the Report XML is cut off at 1024 charachters and the report is lost.
Please do not set the report version in tx SE16!
I will need to configure the program RS_REPORT_MAINTAIN, such that reports with version "0" can be saved with the minimum version 9.0.
Until then I recommend the following procedure for Reports that are ok, but have the Version "0" bug:
1) in tx SE38, program: RS_REPORT_MAINTAIN
    open your report with option "DT" (designtime)
2) Switch to Edit mode.
    Make a backup copy of the report using the "Save As" Button.
    You can copy the Report XML to the clipboard using Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C
3a) Open a dummy report in RS_REPORT_MAINTAIN created previously with
      Report Desginer ( --> The version is set to 9.0).
      Switch to edit mode and paste the Report XML and Save.
or
3b) Debug FUNCTION rs_bex_report_load_rfc.
      Open a report and change the value of E_REPORT_VERSION to "9.0"
      before leaving the function.
Hope this helps, karim
P.S.
I will update note 1016224
