Previewing Data in FRS without Saving the Report

 Generally in any report we see the output after saving the report. Issue is like if any changes has to be reverted it will be difficult, so FRS provides us options to preview data without saving the report.

We can see the output in either HTML format or PDF Format.

HTML Format:

Open any existing report

goto File > HTML Preview.

This opens report output in a new window.

This how output appears, since I didnot select any values for any segments we cannot see any data

PDF Preview:

Open any existing report

goto File > PDF Preview.

This opens report output in a new window.

Output in PDF Mode

Differences between File Adapter and FTP Adapter in OIC Integrations

 Following are the differences between File and FTP Adapter

FTP Adapter:

We can create encrypted by using PGP

We can use decryption using PGP

For Trigger connection requires connectivity agent or else use a scheduled orchestration which can use ftp as invoke connection.

Supports Invoke connection

Can be used for FTP or SFTP server except if they are private requires Connectivity agent.

We cannot create a decrypted file

Supports trigger connection

Requires OIC Connectivity agent

Printing parameter values in Excel Template when All is selected

 Hi Everyone,

In this post let us see how we can show values in Excel Output when parameter value is empty.

We dont get any value in parameter when we select All values in the Report and in the report All is linked with Null Values.

Let us see sample XML

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<DATA_DS><BU/>

<G_1>

<INVOICE_NUMBER>1</INVOICE_NUMBER><BUSINESS_UNIT>test1</BUSINESS_UNIT>

</G_1>

</DATA_DS>

If we see above xml data BU tag dont have any value.

Let us see how we can we handle this in Excel Template.

<xsl:choose>

        <xsl:when test="DATA_DS/BU!="">

            <xsl:value-of select="DATA_DS/BU"/>

        </xsl:when>

        <xsl:otherwise>Print required value

        </xsl:otherwise>

</xsl:choose>

Above code checks if BU value not equal to Null.

 <xsl:when test="DATA_DS/BU!="">

If it is not equal to Null, then prints Bu value

<xsl:value-of select="DATA_DS/BU"/>

If it is Null, then print whatever value we need

<xsl:otherwise>Print required value

oracle.xdo.servlet.data.dataexception: your data is more than 65531 rows in a sheet, that exceeds Microsoft Excel (.xls) limitation

Hi Everyone,

 oracle.xdo.servlet.data.dataexception:oracle.xdo.servlet.data.dataexception:oracle.xdo.XDORuntimeException: your data is more than 65531 rows in a sheet, that exceeds Microsoft Excel (.xls) limitation. Stop Processing. Suggest to turn on Excel Template Scalable Mode to true from Runtime Properties

If you see this issue while generating Excel output in BIP Report, it is due to the reason that you have large amount of data in your report. In an Excel sheet, it can accommodate only upto 65531 records, if more that count of data comes this issue arises.

Solution to this problem:

Go to the concerned Report and open properties

Formatting

Excel Templates > Enable Scalable Mode. Set this to True

Now go and check if report is working for large data. If you check the report output, we can see data comes in multiple sheets.
