I would like to create custom timesheet report in rally to track Dev daily activity.
Does anybody know in what conditions a "Type" of report field is disabled? Currently I can't select a Timesheet report type..
The most-likely cause is it doesn't think your workspace has Time-Tracking enabled. Are you sure your workspace has it enabled?

I wanted to know if it is possible to refresh the data of a report when we open this one, in order to always see updated data in the report. I explain myself, if I publish a report in a workspace (other users have access to this workspace), I want that every time they open a report, this one would be updated.
Thanks for you help.
If you are importing data, I'm not sure if this is possible or not.
However, if you set up a Direct Query, then your data is pulled as you interact with the report.
I need your help. I have designed this report using the pentaho report designer with two date parameters(DateFrom and DateTo). The report works fine when run on the designer and I've published it to the Pentaho BI Server. But on opening it on the browser from the BI server (CE), the reports is on an automatic refresh loop every 3-5 seconds. A glimpse of it, you can tell it has run correctly but the page refreshes almost immediately. Can't even change the parameters.
Has anyone ever experienced this and what is the solution?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
I have noticed that the refresh loop is being caused by the date parameter. I removed the the date parameter and published the report with a static date and it worked well.
I will have to rethink of how to use the date parameter on the PRD reports.
I am going to post a new question on how to include a working date parameter on PRD and link it to this question.
In the meantime, I will consider this a closed issue.
OK this is my question(s) and its SSRS 2005 and SQL Server 2005/2008
I had been tasked with rebuilding a dozen or so reports that our users use on their data systems. We just build them and since every DB instance is schematically the same for all our clients, we push the reports out to their report servers for use.
So modified a great many reports, but the reports have blown away the clients subscriptions. So every user that uses these reports, that can be a great many seeing as how everyone can have their own set of parameters, has to run the reports manually or redo their subscriptions.
My company would very much like to avoid that, but I can not figure out how to change a report, and even with the same parameter set going in as the last report, keep the subscription there.
Even when I copy the report down to their report server and replace the old with the new using same name. The subscription is still there, but it gets modified.
I am looking either for a way to push down a subscription as part of the report, so that they will have minimal input to their subscriptions in order to tailor it to their needs
--OR ideally--
Upload a new version of the report to their report server and just have the subscription apply to the newest report that I have put on their server
It doesn't really matter which one but the second is best seeing as how individual users use the reports with individual names as a parameter
Many thanks in advance for anyone that can point me to the way to manage out subscriptions on my side, or enable my reports to assume the subscriptions of same named reports on their server.
--edit--
Want to put a clearer picture out there
I have a master copy of a report. The users use the report on their own systems.
I do some heavy modifications to the master copy of the report, and upload it to their systems. using the same name and same parameter set as the original report.
I want the subscriptions on their report server to find this report using the same name.
so XXX.report has a subscription. I change it to XXX.report locally, and upload to their servers. The subscriptions are not synching though.
Thanks
I'm not sure how you're accessing SSRS but you can use the following webservice methods to download and upload report subscriptions
ListSubscriptions
GetSubscriptionProperties
GetDataDrivenSubscriptionProperties
DeleteSubscription
CreateDataDrivenSubscription
CreateSubscription
Using those methods, you use ListSubscriptions to get a report's subcriptions. The Subscription.IsDataDriven property will tell you if it's data driven or not. For data driven subscriptions, use GetDataDrivenSubscriptionProperites to get the subscription properties, otherwise use GetSubscriptionProperties. All of those classes are XML serializable so you can save them to disk out of the box using the XmlSerializer.
To readd the subscriptions, use DeleteSubscription to delete the subcriptions one by one and then CreateSubscription or CreateDataDrivenSubscription to readd the subscriptions.
This is a hack though, because you should be able to modify reports without breaking the subscriptions. You should to the following to help diagnose the issue
Set SSRS logging to verbose for all components
Use the click once report builder to change the title of a report and see if the subscriptions break when you click save
Have the SQL profiler running on the ReportServer database to see what SQL is being generated when the subscriptions break
there's a tool called Reporting Services Scripter from Jasper Smith. I think it should work for you.
What I had to wind up doing was going back and change all the input parameters, including the sql content for the drop downs, back to what they originally were. Then playing with the SQL for the report to accept the new(old) parameters.
Thanks for your input. I accepted the web services answer as that is a path I will have to explore for our next update.
I am new to SAP Business Objects Infoview and was asked if I can automate the report data generation for an existing report.
Here is what I would do manually through the Infoview web interface:
Click schedule for the report in question, which brings up the Schedule dialog
Change the recurrence to Now
Change the report prompts (start date and end date) so that start date=today and end date=today-14 days
Set the format to CSV and output the report to the Inbox
Schedule the report
Wait for the report to succeed
Download the generated report data
I can see how I could build a tool using Java and Selenium to automate this. However I am wondering if there is a more elegant way to doing this that still allows me to set the prompts dynamically. Are there existing 3rd party tools? Can I use JDBC?
What I have at my disposal is a user name/password to log on to Infoview. If a more elegant solution requires additional access or software please let me know.
It's possible with a simple addition to the universe (but this, of course, requires universe developer access). For your example, you could create a new universe-based Predefined Condition object with a definition of: (assuming Oracle)
start_date = trunc(sysdate) and end_date = trunc(sysdate-14)
Adding this object to a report will produce the desired timeframe whenever it's run, whether it's scheduled or interactive.
If you want the same report to run with this logic when scheduled, but still allow users to select dates via the prompts. You can use magic dates. See this blog post for info.
Lastly, you could write a custom program that would open the report, populate the prompts with the appropriate values, and run it. But I would consider that a less-preferable option than the ones above.
You can use UiPath in order to easily automate SAP GUI without writing code.
Here's a tutorial on how to automate data entry, menu navigation and screen scraping on SAP.
You can use it from code (SDK) or you can create workflows (visual automation) directly from UiPath Studio.
Note: I work at UiPath. You should also try other visual automation tools like Automation Anywhere, WinAutomation, Jacada, use them side by side and choose the one that suits better your needs.
Here's how automating SAP Business One menus, buttons and typing looks like:
I am developing a reporting application where a user can select(and order) reports from a list of 100 reports and ask for a master report. This master report will contain all the selected reports in the exact order and with a table of contents listing the reports included in the master report. The reports available for the user to select (which could be 100s) are stored in the database.
My questions are :-
To generate the master report with the user selected reports, the only solution I can see is using the Reporting Engine API to generate a dynamic report into which I have to add the user selected reports as subreports. Is this the right and easiest way to approach this problem? Does anyone have samples of the Reporting Engine API usage especially to inject subreports in a Master report?
Since I am storing the reports in the db(blobs), I am trying to find a way to generate my sub reports with an inputstream rather than a URL as specified in ResourceManager.createDirectly(url, MasterReport.class), but haven't been successful till now. How can I generate reports from definitions stored in the database? There should be some resource abstraction.
Read your reports into a byte-array and then use the ResourceManager.createDirectly method as usual. That will solve your problem of parsing the reports.
You can parse them directly into SubReports by using
ResourceManager.createDirectly(bytes, SubReport.class)
These subreports can then be added to your master report as banded subreports. if you want your selected reports to start on a new page, make sure you set the "pagebreak-before" style on your subreport's report-header.
There is a resource abstraction: It is called "LibLoader" and you can create your own ResourceLoaders that deal with the problem of getting your data out of your database as raw-streams so that the ResourceFactory implementations can interpret/parse the raw-data.
But every database is designed differently and thus you as the system integrator have to write the glue code for it. We only can offer the interfaces.
