Is this possible.Plz guide as to how to achive this. Any reference document or link is appreciated.

You can use BI publisher for your requirement -
Create a Concurrent program which is based on the executable 'XDODTEXE'
The Short_Name of the concurrent program should be the same as the data_definition short_name from Xml Publisher responsibility.
You can go through the link provided by Alex for creating the UI Template and the data template.

Problem opening reports with a user in the Oracle Directory.

I have already followed all the steps in the user's guide to run reports with a user in the Oracle Directory.
I accessed the enterprise security manager and created the mandatory xml publisher roles, besides I created another role. I added user A to the new role I created.
I accessed then the administrator tab in XML publisher. I went to roles and the role I created was there. When I tried to add a folder. I'm able to add the folder there. I click on apply and then when I enter in the security Settings again the folder is not there anymore.
I get the following error in the log:
[021207_103218621][][EXCEPTION] oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.resources.ResourceNotFoundException: /opt/oracle/infra2/j2ee/home/xmlpublisher
/Admin/Security/security.xml
When I access xml publisher with the user A, who belongs to the new role I'm working with, I'm not able to see any folder, nor anything else.
Do you have any ideas about what could be going wrong?
Thanks,
Joaquin

Can you replay how? I have been facing this problem for nearly 3 months without any solution. Please help me.

Mimes in "Print Web Report with Excel"

Hi all,
i am using the "How to.." Paper to implement the functionality for Printing Web Reports with Excel. I also Modify the Table during the rendering with the Modify Table Interface to set some mimes instead of inidcators in one column. The Export
into Excel Works Fine but after saving that Report in Excel, and reopen it i have
to confirm a Security Dialog / re-login . I think this is because of the mimes which refer to the WAS.
Now my Question :
Is it possible to get a result ( Exported Report into Excel with MIMES ) and avoid
a re login. I mean, to export the Mimes also.
Many Thanks in advance for your Help.
Best Regards
Ali Touzlatzi

Hi Prakash,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I looked for LRSR_XLS_EXPORTF01 under program, I found the program but when I clicked into it, it prompt "there is no object list for INCLUDEs"
We have the export as excel implemented for sure. Do you think someone changed the name, or this name cannot be changed. I am new to ABAP too, but I am a programmer. Can you guide me the best way to trace this program?
Again, I appreciate you help.

Number stored as text (in jsp report with excel output)

Hi
I created a jsp report for excel output. I see that the numbers are left aligned with a green traingle on the top of each cell. Was just wondering how can I resolve this and have my numbers displayed as numbers - right aligned and with no green triangle. Is there some setting I have to make explicitly so that numbers appear as numbers in excel output?
Thx!

Hi Sasidar,
In Excel right click the column select format cells and then select the format as text which is general by default.

Anil.

XML Report in Excel Ouput

Hi
I am developing a report in XML Publisher and getting its output in Excel and PDF both. In report I put a company logo pic, while running both formats, in PDF logo is fine but in excel there was no logo.
Can someone help me out from this.
Thanks

Hi,
Better u can create a separate cell and place the logo and check it. Because in pdf and rdf output the logo will come fine, but in Excel output it will override the cell and come, so u can try like this.

If the value is not of importance how come it became obligatory in your program?
Any how you can do one thing...Put some value in your obligatory field, put a debugger point where you are interested in and use the pencil tool to change the value of the field while debugging.

Run BI Publisher report (with Excel template) on Windows 7

Hi, All.
Sorry for my English :)
I have some problem:
I use BIP standalone for my reports. Some reports are in Excel (with Excel template). When I run it on PC with WinXP - all is OK. But, when I try to run it on PC with Win7, then Excel is opening and writing this "Native file format and file extension does not mismatch. Before open be sure of file does not damage" (this is my translation). If I try save file on the hard disk, then file is 0 kb. But if a report has RTF-template, then it opening normaly on Win7's PC.
Have you any ideas?
Thanks!

option1:
The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
@runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
advantage , only one report.
option2:
create two separate reports summary and details
and create diff data and diff layout and keep it as different report
Advantage, query will perform based on the user run report, summary/detail, so that you can write efficient query.
Dis advantage , two reports query/template to be maintained.

Printing XML report (with report.xsl stylesheet) shows font colors, but not table highlight colors

I am trying to print the XML report generated by TestStand to a PDF in order to archive it. When the XML report is rendered in Internet Explorer, everything looks fine -- Sequence names are highlighted in teal, Pass is in green, Fail is highlighted in red.
However, when I print this page to a PDF (using BullZip PDF printer, or even the XPS printer), all of the table highlighting is gone. The UUT Result in the header is red or green font color depending on the pass/fail state, but sequence names and any formatting applied to tables within the body of the report have no highlighting.
Is the stylesheet altering what is rendered when the XML file is printed?
This is the output when viewed in IE
This is the output when viewed as a PDF printed from the same file viewed in IE.
Thank you,
Matt
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hey Matt,
This is actually because of a default setting in Internet Explorer to not print background colors on webpages. To change it, simply go to the Page Setup screen (on IE9, you click the gear icon, then Print > Page Setup) and select the option to print background images and colors. After doing this, the printed report should contain the colors you see on your screen.

Offline Reporting with Excel? -- complete Report +hierarchy possible?

Hi people!
Im new in SAP BW and I have a question regarding BEX. My goal is to get a complete Excel report that contains all the data and has a working hierarchy structure without connection to BW!
I generated a report with Query Designer whose data are represented in several hierarchy levels (option in row-header).
=>date
===>area
=====>customer
=======>material
After the execution of the query in BEX Analyzer or in the web, only the highest level (date) is indicated. If I open the next levels, the data are reloaded of the BW each time.
But Id like to load the data completely despite hierarchy (Transaction RSRT and then properties load all data is selected).
Ok to get all the data, I could change the option in Query Designer to open all the levels after the first load, but the hierarchy levels should be closed at the first time.
<u>My Question is:</u>
Is there a possibility to get all the data offline in Excel with working hierarchy levels? Its important for me to get a complete report without connection to BW and so the people can navigate also offline, e.g. open a lower hierarchy level with all the data.
After saving my report as *.xls-file, the report contains only the part of the shown results and the hierarchy symbols have no function.
I dont need any symbols in offline report. I think, the excel function group by would enough for my requirements. But I dont know how can I use this function with my data after running the query.
In SAP R/3 the same is possible automatically, when a report will be generate.
I have tried to find responses here in forum. But the search is unfortunately a little complicated and the results were not satisfactory.
- Why I cant get a list of the main-topics?
- How can I get satisfactory results for multiple words?
OK, I have read something about OLE and BSP, but I hope to find an easier solution without programming.
Maybe the tool XL Reporter would be a solution, but we have no Business One licence. Unfortunately, current links for download a free version (I dont know if its free), which I found here in the forum are not working for me. Whats wrong with XL Reporter?
I would be glad about helpful replies.

Hi Eugene!
Thanks for your trouble and sorry for the late answer, but unfortunately I had to do a lot.
I think, to describe my idea is not so easy with my English. But maybe you can understand it.
First I should say, the web report and the offline Excel report are two different things now. I don't save the webreport to excel.
The web report gets a hierachy and other formatings and with access to BW the user can use the report just as one likes.
My idea for the offline Excel report is to save the complete data without hierarchy or other formattings. So every characteristic and every key figure is in a separate column and all rows contains data.
date/area/customer/material/sales volume/other kf
01.11.2005/100/34567/66000/34.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/100/34567/67000/23.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/100/34567/68000/14.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/100/34567/69000/43.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/100/40200/33000/11.000 euro/... (new customer)
01.11.2005/100/40200/44000/10.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/100/40200/68000/35.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/100/40200/69000/22.000 euro/...
Then the created Excelsheet should be handled by vba.
As far as I know, you can select the data in Excelsheet with normal SQL commands. If the corresponding data are selected, I try to use the group by function in vba code.
So first I select the materials from the first customer. If I found the next customer I want to group all materials for the previous customer.
The Result should look so: (+ -> to open the materials)
01.11.2005/100/34567/__/+____________/...
Sum_______/___/_____/__/114.000 euro /...
01.11.2005/100/40200/ /+____________/...
Sum_______/___/_____/__/ 78.000 euro /...
The next Step is to group all customer in one area.
01.11.2005/100/+_____/__/____________/...
Sum_______/___/______/__/192.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/200/+_____/__/____________/...
Sum_______/___/______/__/320.000 euro/...
And the last point is to group all areas per date.
01.11.2005/+___/_____/__/____________/...
Sum_______/____/_____/__/512.000 euro/...
02.11.2005/+___/_____/__/____________/...
Sum_______/____/_____/__/433.000 euro/...
Now If I have a hierarchy structure, the offline user of the report can open the single levels to see the details.

Running a report with large data output, fails with error.

Hi,
We have a report that contains a logo (size 60kb) and we have 1000 records that need to be printed and the logo needs to be printed for each record. We are successful in printing 100 records at present.
While trying to print 1000 records, we are getting an Internal Server Error. What could be the reason? & How do can we overcome this problem?
We are using Oracle Reports 10g Release 2.
Thanks & Regards,
Sairam SP

May be below is the correct forum to place the question.

XML Report - Excel output automatic cell expand

Hi,
I created a XML report with Excel output. It works fine but I have 35 columns in that report.
When I open the excel file - columns are not expanded, user needs to expand it manually.
But It should automatically expanded when the user opens the report. How can i do that?
Thanks in advance.

You need to create the rtf template with enough width for each column to render the output fully expanded when viewed from BI Publisher Desktop, which will look the same when run as a concurrent request. If you used the table wizard to create your excel layout, you can widen the columns in Word and paste/enter some spaces before or after each header field in the top row which will force the html rendering that XML Plublisher utilizes to widen the columns when creating Excel output. The fundamental disconnect here is XML Publisher is not rendering .xls or .csv output, but rather html that opens in Excel minus most Excel formatting. You might need to use a 22 inch landscape layout to fit all 35 columns after they are widened.
