Insights (Business Reporter and Analysis Models, EOI)

Encountered an issue when running a scheduled quick report in IFS Cloud 24R1. When the report is sent as an email attachment in Excel format, it contains extra spaces around the cells (except for the header row). However, when I run the same report and export it directly from the quick report/output window, it appears correctly without these extra spaces. Example - Scheduled quick report mail attachment: Output from Quick report window: Could you please guide me w hat configuration settings should be adjusted to prevent the extra spaces in the scheduled reports Excel attachment? Is there a specific setting related to the export format that might be causing these spaces? Any other suggestions to resolve this issue? Thank you!

Hello, We have an issue surrounding business reporter that is causing frustration in its users. After initial login in Excel, we are able to use BR as needed. However, if we get timed out and attempt to login again, we get the error below. The only workaround we’ve found involves closing all instances of Excel and reopening the business reporter. This is a pain when working on many reports, or when we just have many different documents open. Occasionally this doesn’t even fix the issue and we need to restart the entire computer. Is anyone else experiencing these issues with BR? Anyone have a fix for it? Thank you, Dylan ************** Exception Text **************System.Exception: Error while calling the projection BrClientAuthorizationHandler. ---> System.Security.SecurityException: IFS Business Reporter session has expired. Please re-login using the Login button. at Ifs.Application.Br.Authenticator.AuthenticatorService.GetOpenIdAccessToken() at Ifs.Application.Br.Authenticator.Sessio

Somethimes you have an Business Reporter which shows you the Field value as #NAME? Just Run the Report and cancel and the field will show you normal again.

After upgrading Business reporter to 24R2 version. I am frequently facing an error “Error while calling the projection BrClientAuthorizationHandler”. when I log in for the first time, I am able to load and run the report. However, if I try to load or open another report, I get an error. To resolve this, I have to close all the instances and reopen it. I did not encounter this issue before the upgrade. I am using a user who as all the necessary grants. - BA_SUPER_USER- BA_ENDUSER- BA_DESIGNER - BA_REPORT_ADMIN Is there anything that needs to be refreshed or any additional steps after installation to fix this issue? Tool version: 24.2.1.0 Error - Thank you! Sneha

Hi, There is a difference in how the BR report is executed when the parameter value in entered manually and selected from LOV. Selecting from LOV Typing manually This happens for both ‘Year’ and ‘Month’. They are of number type. But this is how the queries are formed. using to_char() or to_number() in advanced filter criteria didn’t work. Converting the field in the IAL using to_char() also didn’t work. Is there any other way to resolve this? Best Regards,Nisansala

How do you implement 2 data sources (views) into the lobby data source designer. I want the following code to return the count in the data source. select distinct(sp.catalog_no)from lora1app.sales_part sp, lora1app.sales_price_part_join splp where splp.catalog_no = sp.catalog_no and splp.SALES_PRICE_TYPE_DB = 'SALES PRICES'and sp.activeind_db = 'Y' and (splp.part_valid_to_date >= (sysdate) or splp.part_valid_to_date is null)and splp.valid_to_date >= (sysdate) --currently I have gone about it the following way seeing that the data source cannot handle two views: select distinct SALES_PART.Catalog_NO from SALES_PART where SALES_PART.activeind_db = 'Y' and SALES_PART.Catalog_NO in (select catalog_no from sales_price_part_join where sales_price_part_join.catalog_no = SALES_PART.CATALOG_NO AND sales_price_part_join.SALES_PRICE_TYPE_DB = 'SALES PRICES' and (sales_price_part_join.part_valid_to_date >= sysdate or sales_price_part_join.part_valid_to_date is null) and sales_price_part_join.valid

Hi , We are trying to use Spend Analysis sample BI report and it’s not loading data into the report. The tabular model is deployed, and the Supplier Performance sample BI report is working as expected, even though both reports fall under Procurement. Our customer is using version 23R1. Our customer is in 23R1. Fix this command in the report does not fix the issues as well. User have access to all the sites and companies as well. Many thanks for your inputs on this issue. Best regards, Uvini

Hi, We have come across an issue where if we ‘order’ the business reporter report in Excel it errors as it cant find/run the macro. But if we ‘load’ report, it loads up with the box at the top to enable macros. We click enable, then ‘run’ and the report works fine. We have always had issues with these reports running out of the IFS application, which is why we use IFS Business Reporter instead. Are you able to assist with this query please? Our company does have a policy where they don’t want users to use macros, but I’m not sure of another way around it so I’m looking for any options. thank you for your time!

Hi, According to the latest IFS GPL and 24R2 sales part list, there are only two Power BI-related sales parts available: Advanced Analytics - Self Managed Analysis Models - Self Managed I would appreciate more information about the latest sales parts related to IFS Analysis Models (24R2). Could you please provide answers to the following questions? What sales part(s) are needed to use IFS Analysis Models - Power BI with a self-hosted BI infrastructure setup? What sales part(s) are required for using IFS Analysis Models - Power BI (data lake Gen2) and IFS Advanced Analytics? Is it possible to purchase Advanced Analytics - Self Managed without purchasing Analysis Models - Self Managed? Does this mean that iFrame integration is always available and not dependent on any sales part? Can we assume that IFS Analysis Models – Tabular is no longer available for purchase? Thank you.

Hi, when using a standard dimension/fact item as a report parameter, relevant context substitution variables will be visible to choose as the default value. However, when a QIS is created based on an IAL, this is not possible. Here, the DIM_COMPANY dimensions was connected to the QIS from custom dimension connections oage. Is this a framework limitation? Is there any setting or workaround to achieve this behavior? Best Regards,Nisansala

Hello, I'm trying to enable incremental refresh for FACT_GL_TRANSACTION, but I need to complete the initial refresh first. The dataset is quite large—refreshing accounting year (a full refresh using a criteria) 2024 alone takes around 15 hours. However, I'm unable to refresh the entire dataset. Once 2024 is fully refreshed the entity info says its no FRESH, attempting to refresh 2023 or any other year with entity criteria does not work. Any idea why?

I am trying to create a Quick Report that will show all inventory receipts from the previous day. Below is my current query.

Hi, I’m trying to save and publish a report to the IFS Cloud environment, but getting the below error. Kindly help me to resolve this. Error when saving the report in ifs cloud Regards, Deepal.

Afternoon, We are in the midst of upgrading to IFS Cloud 23R2 from Apps 10, and in parallel the business are reviewing our BI strategy. Currently we use IFS Lobbies, Quick Reports and Business Reporter within IFS, and externally use tools such as PowerBI and Qlik. All our reporting is based on the production IFS Oracle database through ODBC connections. We plan on using PowerBI as the primary tool for management reporting, whilst continuing to use Quick reports and Lobbies for operational reporting within IFS. We are therefore considering options for data warehouse solutions such as Microsoft Fabric and PowerBI. We are looking for information on what other IFS customer's are using for their BI strategy and data warehousing solution, along with some pros and cons. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I have a request from a customer who needs to adjust the date entry format in Quick Report parameters. This is a Crystal-based Quick Report, and they want to enter the date in dd-mm-yyyy format. However, when attached to Quick Report, it prompts for yyyy-mm-dd instead. The report itself is designed to read the date in the required dd-mm-yyyy format, but the Quick Report interface enforces a different format. Has anyone encountered this issue before? Is there a way to modify the date format for Quick Report parameters inside IFS Application? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I also stored them to different locations too, but did not make any difference. This environmental is working on 24R1 SU1.
