Can BO dashboard be created from WebI report? - sap

I need to create a dashboard using my webi report. Can this be achievable? If so, how?
Thanks in Advance
Niki

I tried this a few months back, while we primarily create Desktop Intelligence reports we have started to create WebI reports with the aim of creating dashboards with some of them.
We are running BOE XI3.1.
Here is a link to a blog which is one of the couple of blogs that I read when doing it.
Basically, you would right-click on the table in WebI and select publish block, you then follow the publish content prompts and when completed in the Web Services pane (if not visible, there is a Web Services checkbox in the top-right of the window) where you can get the Web Service URL that you can then use as a datasource within Xcelsius.
The WebI report I was playing with worked and I was able to get the data in Xcelsius.

How to View SSRS Report (.rdl) in Windows Forms from Same Solution

I have two different project First is Windows Application and second is Report Project
So How can I view report in my First Project
Here's attached screenshot of Both Projects
RDL reports get installed in an instance of SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) you then load the report into a ReportViewer control from that server. That's a subject too big to include in a single answer here and you should research it independently and then ask specific questions later if you have them.
If you want the reports to be part of your application itself then you need to create client reports - RDLC files - rather than server reports. There is a VS extension you can install for creating client reports, if that's what you want.

Need a method to embed rdlc designer in web page

We are working on a web asp.net MVC based project that needs a web-based report builder. We have worked with the rdlc reports before, but, the designer is available only at design time. Is it possible to embed the rdl report designer into a web page? The user should be able to design, save and use the reports through the web page. If no, then are there any alternatives? preferably opensource or free. Also we are open to paid options if they are worth it.
We have tried searching on the topic but haven't been able to find a direction.
Kindly suggest

Is it possible to embed a report held on crystal server into a separate web application?

We're developing an ASP MVC web application for a company to monitor and correct incoming data from third parties, then preview a report output before being distributed to their own clients. We've made a prototype with the reports being generated as Crystal Reports through the application itself using CR for Visual Studio.
The client already has a Crystal Server for some internal reporting, we're wondering if we can hook into that so that all Crystal Reports are stored in the same place and save on duplication. We would need to expose a preview of the report in our application and then export the reports from the Crystal Server in PDF and Excel formats ready to be distributed.
Is that possible? I've found very little on the subject.
In case anybody comes back for the answer... We've managed to get this working by using the 'opendocument' url path feature and embedding it into the site using an iframe. Documentation is here.

SQL Server Reporting Subscriptions

I have a SQL Server 2014 Enterprise with SSRS configured. I have custom reports built via Report Builder and subscriptions via SSRS. I am currently emailing MHTML via the subscriptions, but this doesn't allow you to expand the rows in the tables.
As above, that row, when you browse to SSRS via web browser, can be expanded to see it's child items. Is there anyway you can get this to come expanded in the MHTML report sent via the sub?
Unfortunately drill down only works in Report Manager or the Excel rendering extension. The HTML generated excludes the hidden items. Mentioned in last section of https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207042.aspx
Because of this I send Excel reports in my subscriptions.
The solution would be to get the report to always show the expanded rows when exported to MHTML. http://blog.hoegaerden.be/2011/01/18/ssrs-hideshow-items-dependant-on-export-format/

Request for Custom Reporting on the Web

I have had a request where a user wants the ability to create their own reports. I have developed and MVC4 application and it currently uses Crystal Reports to generate a pdf of the report.
Obviously Crystal reports allows the developer to drag an element anywhere on the screen. The user now wants to be able to create their own reports and have the ability to move the controls around to where they wish.
Is this possible at all and/or are there any variations to Crystal reports that will allow this? Ideally this will need to be done on the Web too!!
Any direction would be appreciated, thanks
