XLS macro for abap report

Hi,
Is it possible to create a special xls template for the ABAP report in sap. Uh, our key users want to have stock report in xls, which should have the company template form and colored columns…
Do you have any experience with that?

  • Options for ABAP report output in Dashboard type presentation

    Background
    Monash University environment is SAP ERP ECC6 - no BW. The University has undertaken considerable analysis of spend as part of developing a strategic approach to procurement. The data used to undertake this analysis was extracted from SAP MM and FI using a developed ABAP report which collates, categorizes and consolidates all spend information from MM (for our Purchase Order based commitment and expenditure) and FI (for direct invoices and Corporate Credit Card expenditure). This information is then currently exported to MS-Excel to produce a report containing graphs, pie charts etc.
    Requirement
    To present output from our Spend Analysis Report in a more readable dashboard type presentation. This facility should allow easy manipulation (slice and dice) and drill down of the data.. Our requirement is to have something operating within a very short time-frame, say within a month or two. Although you might suggest Web Dynpro Business Graphic or SEM /BW (as the optimal solution) we understand the set up time for either of these solutions is prohibitive. Visual Composer has been suggested as another option but we have no in-house expertise to determine if this is a viable solution.
    Some colleagues visited a conference a couple of weeks ago and saw a demonstration of a product call XenoCube http://www.inlogik.com/downloads/XenoCube_Brochure.pdf
    which was proposed as a quick way to present SAP 'raw' report output in a more readable form. Other solutions in this space that have been suggested include:-
    Zycus - Actionable Spend Analysis – Zycus.com
    Emptoris Spend Analysis - emptoris.com
    ONIQUA Enterprise Analytics– oniqua.com.au
    Ariba Buyer – ariba.com
    SAS Spend Analysis – sas.com
    Etesius – SpendGuardian etesius.com
    Can anyone provide advice as to their experience of SAP solution, integrated partner products or any of the about products to satisfy a similar requirement to that which I have outlined? The main selection criteria will include a product which is:
    a) quick & easy to implement,
    b) presentation and manipulation of ABAP extracted data
    c) is scalable and
    d) is reasonably priced.
    Grateful for any advice regarding a solution .
    Thank-you

    Hi,
      This development writes to mapped network drive in Unix. The concept will be similar.

    Please you can send to my email [email protected]
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Functional Specification  is written by the functional consultants to give to the ABAPers where there will write technical specifications to meet the requirement.
    Regarding your issue, u have to first know
    whats the requirement is
    when to start with either T.Code and
    at what field
    who are authorized to do that
    How we do that
    How this integrated with other modules
    what implications it is going to reflect in other modules
    the approval from the repective supervisors
    and finally viewing the output
    and rectifying the same after going through the technical requirements.

  • BW solution for ABAP Reports

    Hi All,
    I have a client which implemented SAP R/3 and they have certain standard reports like MB5B, VA05 and certain zreports. Now my task is to propose a BW solution for that client. What will be the steps that needs to be done to accomplish this task. help in this regards will be appreciated and awarded.
    Thanks all.

    Hi Pratibha,
    If there are too many reports that need to be reproduced in BW then you can club similar reports or belonging to a particular module. And then built datasources for them.
    If there very few reports,
    1. Find out the program behind the ABAP reports
    2. Build a zprogram for the output and put into an FM.
    3. Create a direct update DSO in BW on the FM
    Let me know if it helps or not.

  • Background processing for ABAP report with selection screen

    Hi ABAP Gurus,
    I m facing a strange problem in scheduling a background job for my report with a selection screen. I have a variant for the report.
    I scheduled a job, but it seems to be not doing anything though all the system resources are available. The job overview shows "Acive" for the job. The job is neither stopping anything, it is just sitting there In SM50, the status shows "On Hold".
    Any ideas/comments on the problem and how this can be overcome?
    Qucik replies and solutions will be highly appreciated as this is a crucial part for a go-live project.
    Thanks in advance.
    Shivani.

    Yes. My report has a selection-screen which requires user input. But I have created  a variant for the report and trying to run it in background using this variant. But facing this problem.
    Strange thing is, instead of the usual SM36/SM37 option where we schedule and monitor background jobs, this option does not work for my report.
    But I tried through SE38, and from my selection screen I selected "Schedule background job" and "run immediately" option, and this works. Though I still use SM37 to monitor this background job.
    I have never faced such a situation before.
    Any hints/tips why this happens and how this can be overcome in the future?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Oracle 10g Discoverer Reports & export to xls fails for large reports

    Hi ,
    We have following configurations:
    1: RHEL 5.4
    2: Discoverer :Version 10.1.2.48.18
    3: Oracle10g Apps Version : Version 10.1.2.0.2
    Issue:
    Most of small reports works fine ....but when large discoverer reports are executed the page
    keeps on refreshing for 15-20 hours but no output ....same for export to xls ......
    But same reports works fine in oracle9i for same data voulme....
    Observations:
    When on linux with top command the processes are monitored its observed that discoverer process
    dis51ws dies for large reports after 1-2 minutes ...& the page keeps on refreshing but no output....
    for 1-2 minutes it consumes 50-80% cpu utilisation then process disappears & cpu 80% idle ...
    It seems that as 10g Apps is installed on RHEL 5.4 ...non certfified OS causing an issue...
    Can any one adds more inputs in this regards......
    we have checked logs : below are log details :
    Below logs gives "Logkeys: exceptions discoiv.servlet_exceptions" for this report ...

    Regards,

    Hi ,
    as per Note: 466697.1 ....its an memory error....& need to increase MaxVirtualDiskMem and MaxVirtualHeapMem
    But we already have slowly increased MaxVirtualDiskMem and MaxVirtualHeapMem to below very high values ...but the issue remains same.......
    as per note we are getting Logkeys: exceptions discoiv.servlet_exceptions error but
    after that we are not getting below error ............
    Unexpected error in state machine: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
    Hence I presume that its different issue rather than memmory....
    Below are pref.txt values..........
    CacheFlushPercentage          = 25          # Percent of cache flushed if the cache is full. valid values 0 - 100%.
    MaxVirtualDiskMem          = 9294967296     # Maximum amount of disk memory allowed for the data cache. Should be greater than or equal to MaxVirtualHeapMem
    MaxVirtualHeapMem          = 4294967296     # Maximum amount of heap memory allowed for the data cache.
    QueryBehavior = 0          # Action to take after opening a workbook (0 = Run Query Automatically, 1 = Don't Run Query, 2 = Ask for Confirmation)
    Also we have raised an SR & as per SR .............all below settings are tried as per SR except for applying a recent patch....
    ====================================================================
    Discoverer performance is largely determined by how well the database
    has been designed and tuned for queries.
    A well-designed database will perform significantly better than a poorly
    designed database.
    Workbook design can also affect query performance.
    1. Apply latest Discoverer patch as documented in <<Note:237607.1>>
    'ALERT: Required and Recommended Patch Levels For All Discoverer Version'.
    2. Increase the maximum JVM heap memory:
    In general, the default values for the minimum heap (-Xms) memory and
    maximum heap (-Xmx) memory are sufficient.
    However, if your organization consistently runs large Discoverer queries
    then you may benefit from increasing the maximum heap memory from the
    default values.
    This is recomended if your users are typically running large queries via
    Discoverer Viewer.
    Increasing the JVM memory can help to avoid "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError"
    in Discoverer Viewer:
    Please see <<Note 563960.1>>, Best Practice: Configuring The
    OC4J_BI_Forms JVM For
    Discoverer Viewer/Portlet 10g Performance And Stability for specific
    details.
    3. Disable Query Prediction:
    Query Prediction provides an estimate of the time required to retrieve
    the information in a query.
    The Query Prediction appears before the query and consumes time.
    Edit the <oracle_home>/discoverer/util/pref.txt on the middle-tier
    server and set:
    QPPEnable=0
    Also set:
    QPPObtainCostMethod = 0
    4. Uncheck the 'Enable fantrap detection' checkbox.
    When the box is checked, every query generated by Discoverer is
    interrogated. Discoverer will detect a fan trap and rewrite the query to
    ensure that the aggregation is done at the correct level.
    Please refer to <<Note:210553.1>>, Oracle BI Discoverer: Fan Trap
    Resolution - Correct Results
    Everytime for more information on fantraps.
    To disable, in Plus go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Fan Trap
    settings.
    In Viewer go to Preferences and uncheck the box.
    5. Disable Materialized Views/Summaries
    In pref.txt add parameter:
    MaterializedViewRedirectionBehavior = 0
    Value equal to 0 ensures that Materialized View (MV) Redirection is
    always performed when MVs are available.
    6. Improve query performance by optimizing the SQL.
    In pref.txt modify/add following parameters:
    SQLFlatten = 0
    SQLItemTrim = 0
    SQLJoinTrim = 0
    UseOptimizerHints = 0
    If value of SQLFlatten is 1 then Discoverer will merge inline views in
    the query SQL where ever possible.
    In case of SQLItemTrim, Discoverer will remove unused folder items from
    the query SQL where possible and for SQLJoinTrim Discoverer will remove
    unnecessary joins from the query where possible.
    UseOptimizerHints will add Optimizer hints to SQL if set >
    0.Unnecessarily making Discoverer perform these checks consumes
    resources and rather than increasing the performance may reduce the same. So unless you feel these checks have to be performed depending on
    requirements, assign zero to these parameters.
    7. When Discoverer builds a query, Discoverer makes a database security
    check to confirm that the user has access to the tables referenced in
    the folders. Avoiding this check can save time.
    So in pref.txt underDatabase section add:
    ObjectsAlwaysAccessible = 1
    8. Whenever you are creating conditions, ensure that you match the Case.
    This in turn can reduce the time Discoverer spends on changing the Case
    and matching.
    For example:
    option Upper(Department) in (Upper('VIDEO SALES')
    9. Ensure that summaries are refreshed periodically in Discoverer
    Administrator.
    10. Increase the amount of memory available for the Discoverer data cache. Please refer to <<Note 245752.1>>, Explaining Oracle BI Discoverer
    Session Memory Management
    And Server Cache Settings.
    11. Performance may be enhanced by enabling OracleAS Web Cache.

  • Saved Lists for ABAP Reports

    Can the functionality of saved lists for query be extended to any ABAP report. I am able to extend the functionality to classical abap reports but I am unable to do the same for Interactive reports. Any inputs on this ?
    Ankur Bhandari

    Hi Pratibha,
    If there are too many reports that need to be reproduced in BW then you can club similar reports or belonging to a particular module. And then built datasources for them.
    If there very few reports,
    1. Find out the program behind the ABAP reports
    2. Build a zprogram for the output and put into an FM.
    3. Create a direct update DSO in BW on the FM
    Let me know if it helps or not.

  • Trash in BSP-Pages for ABAP-reports

    Hi,
    it´s strange that I´m getting trash in the BSP-Pages that represent an ABAP report. I just can´t identify how it is produced and shows up between Titel and real list. I use
              SUBMIT (progr_name)
                 WITH SELECTION-TABLE sel_table
                 EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN.
    and then CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
    later    CALL FUNCTION 'WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT'
    I make a loop with the output and save all in a variable of type string, which is later used in the layout page.
    After execution, I get something like:
         Title       page Nr.      User name
         trash
         more trash
         even more trash
         list
    the data that I describe as trash is information from the list, but it also appears where it must.
    Has anyone experience with it ?? Thanks

    I am also getting some "trash" at the beginning of my report in some cases. The report list I am sending the FM contains Material Descriptions and our descriptions (can) contain a combination of slashes (/), colons ( and commas (,) (eg. SPARES:DISPLAY/GASKET,MONO,GEMINI) - I find that if I remove the commas from the descriptions during the reporting, that I do not have this problem. However this is not a viable solution. Any ideas would be very helpful.

  • How to setup variants for webdynpro report in ABAP? Help!

    Hi Experts,
       I have a webdynpro for ABAP report with selection screen. 
       How to setup variants for webdynpro report in ABAP?
    Thanks
    Gopal

    Hi Gopal,
      There is no concept of Variant in Webdynpro ABAP. But in our project we have some tool to do that. Its not release to the client I think. In my scenarieo, We create the Screen variant and program name will be supplied to the tool that will generate the ouput in PDF and Selection screen in One view. But the same is not avilable .
    If you want the same concept in Webdynpro ABAP, you need to go for Dynamic programming only. This is the only option is avilable.
    Warm Regards,
    Vijay

  • ABAP report /VIRSA/ZVFATBAK run very long on backend

    Hello experts,
    For ABAP report /VIRSA/ZVFATBAK which runs in the backend system, normally how long would it take to finish? Because now the duration for the report is already 2k++ seconds and its still running in our test system, while the report scheduled in our development system only uses 1 or 2 secs to finish.
    Any idea why is it taking that long in a test system?
    Appreciate the replies, thank you in advance.

    Thank you for the note sabita! Its really helpful.
    One question regarding the sapnote, it mentioned STAT collector job, is this a standard job?
    If yes, below are the standard collector jobs which is scheduled in the system, which would it be?
    SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_JOBSTATISTIC
    SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_NONE_R3_STAT
    SAP_COLLECTOR_FOR_PERFMONITOR

  • SAP BI tools for FI reports

    Hello everybody,
    I am SAP FICO consultant but new to SAP BI. I have a requirement that uses BI tools to create FI reports and I need to give functional specs. Can anyone give me general guideline to do that? More specifically, I have following questions:
    1. I Names of SAP BI tools that are used for SAP FI reporting.
    2. Can anyone also send me material / links to the readings that could help understand creating functional specs for such reports?
    3. It would also tremendously help me if anyone can tell me the difference between functional specs for ABAP reports Vs. BI reports. I have worked on ABAP functional specs but not on BI reports.
    Thank you,
    Sonia

    >
    1. you'll need to extract data into BW, so you'll need to set up a Data Model for FI; then depending on which kind of reports, you'll need BEx Query Designer, BEx Analyzer, Report Designer, Web Application Designer or any of the BOBJ tools (or external party tools)
    2. /
    3. I personally would be fine with ABAP specs... basically what one needs to know is which data you wish to see in what format and how that data can be found in the source system... if calculations are necessary, those have to be delivered as well
    Important is to determine the granularity of data
