Which Reports Use certain parameters

We have a series of parameters in BVM and wish to alter them as the underlying data is to be changed. How do I identify which reports use which parameter. I can then alter these reports and amend them for the new parameter.
Thank you in anticipation
Kevin

Hi,
If i understand your requirement correctly then all the prompts were used in reports. To get them open the data ->click on edit data provider -> then you will get query panel where all the resulatnt objects and conditions for the report used are obtained.
If the report is free hand sql then in standard tool bar -> there is a button for edit data provider-> check in sql for the prompts used.
Please ignore this if it not useful.
Cheers,
Suresh Aluri.

To find which reports uses the tables MKFP & MSEG

Hi Experts,
I have a list predeof reports. I just want to know if these reports uses the table MKFP & MSEG. Is there any predefined function or report available in order to find this one?
Valuable answers will be rewarded.
Thanks,

Billing Document not released to accounting / Accounts determination:
To resolve the error, you can analyze account determination in the billing document. Process:
Goto T.Code: VF02 & Enter Invoice number
Next (On the top most strip) goto Environment
Next (Select Environment) go to Account determination
Next (In Account Determination) select Revenue Account Determination (first option)
This will list all the condition types in the Billing document & analyze each condition & check for which G/L accounts is not determined.
Possible errors:
1. VKOA not maintained for required combination
Solution: Maintain the combination in VKOA.
2. Account Assignment of Customer / material not maintained in Customer / Material Master (If maintained in combination in VKOA).
Solution:
Option 1 (Standard solution):
step 1: Cancel Billing Document --> Reverse PGI --> cancel Delivery --> Cancel Sales Order
step 2: Maintain Customer master / Material Master correctly.
step 3: Recreate sales Order --> Delivery --> PGI --> Invoicing.
Option 2:
Force the Account Assignment Group of Customer / Material through Debug in change mode of Billing document, which will release Billing Document to Accounting.
3. Account Key not maintained in Pricing Procedure:
Impact: This may create accounting document, but if condition type, which are to be posted to account, but do not have account key maintained in pricing procedure, it will not be post the relevant condition type to G/L account.
4. Billing Document not being released to accounting --
In Material Master, there is some link between Profit Centre & MRP Type. If one of it is not maintained, erratically few documents get stuck while releasing Billing Document to accounting. Few of course get posted.
Solution1: Cancel Billing Document --> Reverse PGI --> Cancel Delivery --> Block the sales Order & Create new sales Cycle all over again after rectifying Material master.
Solution 2: (Temporary Solution) In Debug mode in Billing, force the Profit Center in Billing Document with the help of Abaper. But ensure Material master is rectified.
From FI Side, you require to check that all the G/L account has been maintained through T.Code: FS00. G/L account being Master data has to be created in each client to upload through LSMW / SCATT / BDC.
In Billing Document in change mode (in the first screen where we enter Billing Document number), on the top most left hand corner, take a dropdown on Billing Document & select Release to accounting. Here you can get the under mentioned possible message:
1. G/L account not found
2. Cost Element not maintained for G/L account.
In both the above cases, FI consultant requires to take corrective action.
Pricing:
This is very specific & differs from client to client & may also differ based on scenario.
Write-up on Pricing -
In SD, Pricing Procedure is determined based on Sales Area (Sales Organization + Distribution Centre + Division) + Customer Pricing Procedure + Document Pricing Procedure. Sales Area is determined in Sales Order Header Level. Customer Pricing Procedure is determined from Customer Master. Document Pricing Procedure is determined from Sales Document Type / Billing Type (if configured). Once the pricing procedure is determined, Condition records are fetched. If appropriate condition records are found, the price is determined. If Mandatory pricing condition is missing, system will through an error message.
In SD, the steps to configure Pricing procedure are as under:
Step 1:
Condition table: If existing condition table meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition table. Considering the requirement for new condition table, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Table (select the required fields combination, which will store condition record).
Step 2:
Access Sequence: If existing access sequence meets the requirement, we need not create a new access sequence. Considering the requirement for new sequence, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Access Sequence (Access sequence is made up of Accesses (Tables) & the order of priority in which it is to be accessed. Here we assign the condition table to access sequence.
Step 3:
Condition Type: If existing condition type meets the requirement, we need not create a new condition type. Considering the requirement for new condition type, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Condition Type. It is always recommended to copy an existing similar condition type & make the necessary changes. Here we assign Access sequence to Condition type.
Step 4:
a. Pricing Procedure: It is recommended to copy a similar pricing procedure & make the necessary changes in new pricing procedure. Pricing Procedure is a set of condition type & arranged in the sequence in which it has to perform the calculation. Considering the requirement for new Pricing Procedure, the configuration will be done in spro as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Maintain Pricing Procedure.
b. Pricing Procedure: After maintaining the pricing procedure the next step will be determination of pricing procedure. Configuration for determining pricing procedure in SPRO is as follows: IMG --> Sales & Distribution --> Basic Function --> Pricing Control --> Pricing Procedure --> Determine Pricing Procedure.
5. Condition record: Condition record is a master data, which is required to be maintained by Core team / person responsible from the client. During new implementation, the condition records can be uploaded using tools like SCAT, LSMW, etc.
It is assumed that document pricing procedure, customer pricing procedure , ... are in place.
Sales Document not assigned to Sales Area:
SPRO --> Sales & Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Sales Document Header --> Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types --> Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas (do ensure to maintain combined Sales organization, combined Distribution channel & combined division. for eg: Sales org 1000 & sales org 1000, Sales org 2000 & sales org 2000, & so on ....
similarly for distribution channel & Division, so that the Sales area combination is available for assignment to Sales Document Type.)
Issues related to Customer Master data:
1. what is the impact of leaving customer pricing procedure & customer statistic group blank in customer master --> sales area data --> sales tab:
If Customer Pricing Procedure is left blank, Pricing will not be determined.
If customer statistic group is left blank, then data will not flow to standard reports.
2. Who maintains reconciliation account in customer master?
Ideally, reconciliation account is maintained by FI person, but if SD person is authorized & has the knowledge of which reconciliation account to be maintained, then even SD person can maintain the same.
3. Terms of payment appear in Company Code Data & sales Area Data. What is the impact of each? why is it not populated automatically, once it is maintained at either field?
Terms of payment from company code data is for reporting purpose & it is from sales area data that it flows to sales order.
It is a standard feature of SAP that it is not populated automatically if maintained at either of the field, but it is a must in sales area data & can be skipped in company code data.
4. Unable to select Sales Area for Customer Master Creation?
Most Probably either sales area is not defined or customization not done for common Sales Org & Common Distribution Channel. To maintain this configuration: SPRO --> Sales & Distribution --> Master Data --> Define Common Distribution Channels / Define Common Divisions

Reporting Services Unicode Parameters Cause Performance Issues

When I create a report using string parameters, reporting services sends the SQL to SQL Server with an N prefix on the string parameters. This is the behavior even when the underlying data table has no unicode datatypes. This causes SQL Server to do a scan instead of a seek on these queries. Can this behavior be modified to send the parameters as non-unicode text?

Work around to overcome SSRS report performance due to UNICODE conversion issue:
I have used a new parameter (of type Internal) which collects/duplicates the original parameter values as comma separated in string.
In the report Dataset query, parse the comma separated string into a list into a vairable table using XML trick.
Use the variable table in WHERE IN clause
Steps:
Create a new Internal parameter (call it InternalParameter1)
Under Default Values -> Specify values : Add Exp : =join( Parameters!OrigParameter1.Value,",")
Pass/Use the InternalParameter1 in your dataset query.
Example code
DECLARE @InternalParameter1 NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @InternalParameter1 = '100167600,
100167601,
4302853605,
4030753556,
4026938411
--- Load comma separated string to a temp variable table ---
SET ARITHABORT ON
DECLARE @T1 AS TABLE (PARALIST VARCHAR(100))
INSERT @T1 SELECT Split.a.value('.', 'VARCHAR(100)') AS CVS FROM
( SELECT CAST ('<M>' + REPLACE(@InternalParameter1, ',', '</M><M>') + '</M>' AS XML) AS CVS ) AS A CROSS APPLY CVS.nodes ('/M') AS Split(a)
--- Report Dataset query ---
SELECT CONTRACT_NO, report fields… FROM mytable
WHERE CONTRACT_NO IN (SELECT PARALIST FROM @T1) -- Use temp variable table in where clause

Prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters

Post Author: Co3023
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
How do I stop CR XI prompting for password and username only when using dynamic parameters. When no dynamic parameters are used CR XI isn't prompting for the DB user name and password. The report is run from an application which passes the user name and password. I am using Oracle and the problem is both with the native oracle driver and the ODBC RDO driver.

Post Author: jehanzeb
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I didnt ask you to change it to static I said I took the parameters totally out of the report. Saved it. Then re-enter the dynamic parameters into the report and it worked for me. That might have worked for you, not sure why you changed it to static.
Ok I have just created a quick report using dynamic parameters, it didnt ask me for the username password.
Can you create a sample report - just to test the db? and see if it works? add only 1 or 2 fields in the report, create parameters (dynamic) and see if it works
why don't you embed the username and password in your application, it won't ask for username password then.

Reports to show which workbooks/sheets that use certain folders/columns

Hi,
I need to be able to create reports in Discoverer 10.1.2.45.46c that show which workbooks/worksheets use certain folders and preferably columns.
Can anyone point me in the right direction ?
Thanks
Dennis

Have you looked at the Admin Guide? - there is an end-user layer export included with the product that has a lot of this pre-built. If it doesn't have the exact report you need at least it builds a lot of structure to help you on your way. You just go into the Admin tool and import the provided EEX file.

Is it possible to sort report using parameters?

Hi,
I am building a report - which generates select query based on the parameters entered by the user.
Could you help me with how to sort output with the parameter chosen by the user himself? Thanks,

I will give you 2 answers since I am not sure exactly how your report runs.
Lets say your users choose a couple parameters to limit certain columns by in your where clause. In this case, you would want to just create a user parameter, and use that parameter in the where clause.
select col
from table
where job_id = :P_JOB_ID and
start_date between :P_START_DATE and :P_END_DATEPretty simple. Now here is how I would do it if those are optional parameters, and the user could enter a value, or could leave all blank.
select col
from table
where job_id = nvl(:P_JOB_ID, job_id) and
start_date between nvl(:P_START_DATE, start_date) and
nvl(:P_END_DATE, end_date)If its null, it will set the column equal to each other, and will return all the rows (good little trick).
The other case is if you need a different select/where clause entirely based on what the user sends in. For example, lets say you have 2 entirely different queries based on a certain parameter. Then you'd want to use lexical parameters and an after parameter trigger.
I think you are looking for the first scenario, so try that and post back if you are looking for something different

Reports6i reports fail to run when used with parameters

Hi there,
I have successfully got reports 6i integrated with Portal. I can expose a report into a content area and run it as type HTMLCSS etc.
However, when I change the report component to use the parameters it all goes wrong. I have added the user parameters in my report in the portal report definition 'edit' settings and made them visible via the customize option. I have then edited the properties for the item in the content area and turned on the parameter form.
When I click on the item to run the report the parameter screen is displayed (with unfriendly P_PARAM_1 style titles which I would also like to change) and I enter the values and run the report. It bombs out with:
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job has terminated with error.

The parameter form in Reports works fine. Do I need to change anything for web based parameter forms?
Any ideas?

Ok, got it working by ensuring that I have displayed the DESFORMAT to the parameter screen. Weird! Must you always display System Parameters?
I would still like to change the parameter titles on the parameter screen. Can this be done?

Can I use cascading parameters in a fetchXML report.

I'm trying to write a report For CRM Online in FetchXML. I want to use pre-filtering to force users to run the report from the Account form so the results are limited to one account because my database is quite large and if they use
the Advanced Find they are likely to break the report.
So dataset1 uses a query which includes a pre-filtering parameter,
'@CRM_account'
I was hoping to add Dataset2 which would use a cascading parameter,
'@CRM_Org' that gets its value from the 'accountid' attribute in the query used for Databset1. When I run the report however. I get an error 'a parameter expected by the report has not been supplied.' It seems the value for the 2nd param for
dataset2 , '@CRM_Org' is not getting a value passed to it. Does anybody know if what I am attempting is possible in FetchXML ?
regards Alan Ward

I couldn't understand what is the use of second parameter. Your work can be done with one parameter.
Create your fetch with a parameter in it (say dataset1). Now create a fetchXML (say dataset2) that fetches you account id.
For the parameter from dataset1, set default value as "Get values from Query" and pass "account id " from dataset2 to it. That's it your job is done.
Note: Remember to select Forms for related record types in
Display In area and Account in Related Record Types area.

How to find the list of Queries/Reports which are using Exceptional Aggregation in SAP BI?

Hi All,
We are interested to know how to find the list of Queries/ Reports which are using Exceptional aggregation in SAP BI.
Please let us know is there any table's to check the list of reports using Exceptional Aggregation in SAP BI.

Hi,
Here you go..
1) Go to table RSZCALC and get list of ELTUID where AGGREXC is not INITIAL and AGGRCHA is not initial; now you get only exception aggregation set based on some chars. Also you can further add STEPNR = 1 since your intention is just to get query name , not the calculation details; this will reduce number of entries to lookup and save DB time for next steps.
Here you will get list of exception aggregation UUID numbers from which you can get properties from RSZELTDIR.
2) Pass list of RSZCALC-ELTUID to table RSZELTXREF - TELTUID and get list of RSZELTXREF -SELTUID - this table stores query to it's elements maping kind.
3) Now again pass RSZELTXREF - SELTUID into same table but into different field RSZELTZREF - TELTUID and get RSZELTXREF - SELTUID
This step you get query reference sheet or column or query general UUID for next step.
4) Pass list of RSZELTXREF - SELTUID into RSZELTDIR - ELTUID with DEFTP as 'REP'. Now you get list of query names in RSZELTDIR - MAPNAME and description in TXTLG.
Note: you can also get the reference chars used for exception aggregation from RSZCALC - AGGRCHA field.
Hope this helps.
Please keep in mind, it might take more time depends on how many query elements you have in the system...

Position of parameters of a report using a Logical Database

Hallo all,
Is there any way that I can make the parameters defined by me in a report to appear <b>before</b> the ones defined by the Logical Database it is using ?
I searched but I couldn't find something relevant.
I would like to avoid having to copy and modify the LDB program.
Thanks

Here are a couple of things you can do:
1. Right-click on the subreport and select "Format Subreport...". Turn off the borders on the subreport.
2. Right-click on the subreport and select "Size and Position". Set the X and Y coordinates both to 0. This will place the subreport at the top-left of the section where it's located.
3. In the subreport, suppress ALL of the sections that you're not using.
4. Make the height of the subreport fairly small - it will expand to the size of the data it contains.
5. Put the column labels in the Page Header of the main report, using markers on the ruler to identify the placement of the left side of each column header. Be sure to line the markers up to a specific "tick mark" on the ruler.
6. In the subreport, place markers at the same tick-marks on the rule as you used for the column labels on the main report. Then align the fields in the subreport with the markers.
This should get you close to the format you're looking for. If it's not exact, you can look at the report in Preview and tweak the position of the column labels to match the data in the subreport.

Translating a report which is using excel template

Hello,
We are working on a BI report using excel template. I've checked the report designer's user guide and it says template translation is a feature only supporting RTF and BI publisher layout template.
I am wondering what is the best practice for translating a report which is using excel template.
So far I have a alternative which is making all labels in my template dynamically getting values from HCM lookups , but this solution is time consuming.
Could anybody help here?
Regards
Buyun

Did you try reading sap help files which clearly explains about Managing templates, selecting templates, creating templates, deleting templates.
[Managing Templates in ALV|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_apo/helpdata/en/d4/a2a138198daa2fe10000009b38f842/content.htm]

Deski report which is using a Store Procedure - Redirecting connection

I have a DeskI report which is using a Store Procedure as its data provider.
This is an Oracle based Store Procedure.
Where can i see wich connection (connections listed in CMC) is used in DeskI report ?
How can i redirect one connection to point to another on report?
Thanks
Georg

Marina,
The strategy for displaying LOV via Infoview needs to be different than what you've set up via DeskI. The main difference is that when using a client/server program like DeskI, the LOV is cached to the client, thus producing a list more quickly, however, over the web, the web client does not cache LOV as readily. To "solve" this "problem" you need to go back to your universe and trace what is happening. If the LOV is getting generated through an essential "select distinct" on the fact/dimension table, and that table has over a million rows, then it will take some time to generate the list (and thus will timeout). A different strategy to take is to maintain a "backend lookup" table that the LOV will point to instead. The backend lookup table will contain the unique instances of the column getting scanned and thus when the LOV points to the new lookup table the response will be quicker versus the old method. Care must be taken each time new data is loaded to WH to ensure that any new unique values from the "home" table/column are also placed in the backend lookup table.
thanks,
John

Link two reports using parameters

Hi,
We are using business object XI.
I am trying to link two reports using parameters. I cannot use subreport option becuase inside the subreport I should link another report too. So,
Report 1(High level summary)
Report 2(Middle level summary)
Report 3(Detail level)
I tried to use hyperlink option and used following string.
http://<server_name>/<Virtual Directory>/object.rpt?prompt0={?param1}&prompt1={?param2}
Here is my question.
1. Server name: Does it include port number??
2. Virtual Directory: I am absolutely lost. I tried the "frsinput" directory the actual rpt file is storing. It is not working.
Do you have general path??
3. Parameters: I have 5 parameters to pass. 3 of them are Strings and the rest are DateTime.
Basically, I need any tutorial about this kinds of things. The tutorial I have got only discribe link like "www.yahoo.com"
BTW, is this even possible solution??

Hi,
I am trying to link two reports in the crystal report designer->deploy to the server->show in the DHTML viewer.
When I create a URL from report A, it looks like "&" disapears. For example, I created a hyper link from report A using formula,
http://server:port/........openDocument.jsp?sDocName=reportB&sType=rpt&paramName1="Trim(ToText({?param1},"#####"))"&paramName2="+Trim(ToText ({?param2},"#######"))
But when I see the actual URL, all the "&" disappears so it looks like
http://server:port/........openDocument.jsp?sDocName=reportBsType=rptparamName1="Trim(ToText({?param1},"#####"))"paramName2="+Trim(ToText ({?param2},"#######"))
No wonder it is not working.
I guess I need special protection for "&" sign. Do you know any?
