41 Advanced Reporting Options chapter
42 4 Advanced Reporting Options Overview Overview The advanced functions of the Native Baan Driver allow you to access array fields, enumerated and bitset fields, UTC time fields, text tables, and text fields. In addition, these functions enable you to perform cross-company or multi-company reporting. The following sections describe how to set up reports that include data from multiple companies or use special data types within Baan. This chapter includes the following topics: Multi company reporting on page 42. Table and field type considerations on page 44. Outer joins on page 46. Server instance variables on page 46. For additional help on advanced report design topics, consult the Online Help or the printed User s Guide supplied with Crystal Reports. Multi company reporting Multi-company reporting enables you to retrieve data from two or more companies and compile the results in one report. You can incorporate one or more companies in the main report, include additional companies in subreports, and incorporate data from one or more Baan tables. To create a multi-company report using the Native Baan Driver, you log on to multiple companies through Crystal Reports. Typically, if you log on to Baan and want to report from company 902 only, you enter 902 in the Connection 42 BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Integration Kit for Baan User s Guide
43 Advanced Reporting Options Multi company reporting 4 Info dialog box. If you want to report from company 802 and 902, you enter both company numbers in the dialog box, separated by a comma ( 802,902 ). You can add as many companies as required. Note: You can no longer use the _compnr field to create multi-company reports. The Native Baan Driver does not allow selections on this field to be passed down to Baan itself. However, this field is still exposed to the report designer. You may want to use the _compnr field on the report solely for information purposes, or to perform client-side selections and sorts. Some reports that were created in older versions of the Native Baan Driver may need to be updated in order to reflect recent performance and security enhancements to the driver. BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Integration Kit for Baan User s Guide 43
44 4 Advanced Reporting Options Table and field type considerations You can also create a multi-company report using subreports. Using this method, you log on to Baan for each subreport against a separate Baan company. That provides you with the functionality needed in some multicompany reporting situations. For example, you may need to report from companies in two different Version Release Customizations (VRCs) in Baan. The enhancements to the new driver require you to add a subreport to the main report, and log on to Baan separately in each report (this behavior is standard in Baan, which will not permit a user from a particular VRC to log on to a company from a different VRC). Table and field type considerations Array fields The Native Baan Driver supports array fields, and lists them with their array indexes. You select array fields individually to include them in your report. Array fields are supported locally through implicit mapping. As a result, you cannot use them for table joins, sorting, or filtering in the SQL statement. In other words, the array fields appear only in the SELECT statement. Enumerated and bitset fields Enumerated and bitset fields are special data types in Baan. They are stored as numeric values, and given an internal textual representation to increase efficiency. For example, 0 may represent No, and 1 may represent Yes. The Native Baan Driver handles such fields by creating virtual fields with an _STR suffix. These virtual fields allow you to retrieve the descriptive string values, instead of the numeric values. For example, if you have an enumerated field called MStatus (Marital Status) that stores a 0 for Single and a 1 for Married, then a virtual field called MStatus_STR is generated automatically. When you place this field on the report, either Single or Married appears, depending on the value of MStatus. Note: Virtual fields are internal to the Native Baan Driver, so you cannot use them manually when editing the SQL statement. If you use a virtual field for table joins, sorting, or filtering, the driver uses the actual numeric value of the field. 44 BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Integration Kit for Baan User s Guide
45 Advanced Reporting Options Table and field type considerations 4 Text tables and fields UTC time fields The Native Baan Driver presents each text field as a memo field, the size of which is limited only by available disk space and memory. Also, for each text field, the driver creates a virtual field with an _IDX suffix, which references the underlying numeric indexes of the text field. Note: You cannot use memo fields for table joins, sorting, or filtering. Like other virtual fields, the virtual fields for text indexes are internal to the Native Baan Driver, so you cannot use them manually when editing the SQL statement. If you use a virtual field for table joins, sorting, or filtering, the driver uses the actual numeric value of the text index. The Native Baan Driver supports UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) time fields (which Baan added to Baan ERP). These fields are converted to the user time zone before the values are displayed on the report. The driver uses the user time zone settings that are defined in Baan. Because these values are automatically converted to the user s local time zone, reports built with older versions of the Native Baan Driver may need to be updated. Some of these reports may contain formulas or logic that manually converts the UTC fields to the user s local time zone; in such cases, report designers should remove the formula or logic because this conversion is now performed by the driver. It is also important to consider which Baan user credentials are being used to run the report. Because the Baan user name and password can be saved to BusinessObjects Enterprise along with the report, you can potentially view or run a Baan report that converts the UTC date/time fields to a time zone that is different from your own. Therefore, when you view reports in BusinessObjects Enterprise, it is important that you know the time zone to which the UTC fields have been converted. Note: Coordinated Universal Time is a time scale that couples Greenwich Mean Time (which is based on the Earth's rotation rate) with accurate atomic time. When atomic time and Earth time approach a one second difference, a leap second is calculated into UTC. BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Integration Kit for Baan User s Guide 45
46 4 Advanced Reporting Options Outer joins Outer joins The Native Baan Driver supports outer joins, while Baan supports outer joins only on indexed fields. Thus, when you use Crystal Reports, the driver must process your outer joins on the client side. For reports scheduled in BusinessObjects Enterprise, the processing occurs on the Crystal Reports Job Server. The Native Baan Driver supports only left outer joins, which may be nested. For efficiency, the client side executes only the outer joins. When queries contain both outer and non-outer joins, the non-outer join operations are executed on the Baan server. As a result, outer joins are executed last, after the non-outer joins have been executed on the server. In other reporting environments, outer joins are typically processed by the underlying RDBMS (relational database-management system). Because the driver must process outer joins on the client side, due to limitations in the Baan database interface, the process may take a significant amount of time if the outer joins involve very large tables. Server instance variables Server instance variables enable you to establish more than one connection to the same Baan server. Each connection to the server requires a unique server instance value to establish a distinct connection identity. You set the server instance variable in the Connection Info dialog box when you connect to Baan through Crystal Reports. On your first connection, set the server instance to 0 (zero). If you need to create a second simultaneous connection to the Baan server, you are prompted to log on to the server again. If this occurs, set the server instance to 1. Continue to increment the server instance variable for additional connections as required. 46 BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Integration Kit for Baan User s Guide
47 Using BusinessObjects Enterprise with the Native Baan Driver chapter
48 5 Using BusinessObjects Enterprise with the Native Baan Driver Overview Overview BusinessObjects Enterprise allows information to be delivered throughout your organization via the web. No components need to be installed locally all that s needed is a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. Users can view, run, schedule, and manage reports easily and quickly using a customizable web environment. BusinessObjects Enterprise comes with a standard web interface for users to view and manage their reports. This interface, shown below, is called InfoView. You use InfoView to locate and view the Crystal reports that have been generated from within Baan. For more information on InfoView, refer to the BusinessObjects Enterprise InfoView User s Guide. Publishing reports to BusinessObjects Enterprise To deliver a report to users through BusinessObjects Enterprise, you publish the report to the server. You can publish reports in three ways: By using the standard Publishing Wizard provided with BusinessObjects Enterprise. By designing a report in Crystal Reports and saving it to BusinessObjects Enterprise. By using the web-based Central Management Console of BusinessObjects Enterprise. For a detailed description of how to publish reports to BusinessObjects Enterprise, refer to the BusinessObjects Enterprise User s Guide or the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator s Guide. 48 BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Integration Kit for Baan User s Guide
49 Using BusinessObjects Enterprise Tools and Features chapter
50 6 Using BusinessObjects Enterprise Tools and Features Business Views Business Views Business Views is a multi-tier system that enables your administrator to build comprehensive and specific Business Views objects. These objects help report designers and end users access the information they require. Using Business Views, the administrator can integrate data from disparate sources bringing together data from multiple data collection platforms across application boundaries so that the differences in data resolution, coverage, and structure between collection methods are eliminated. As a Business Views user, you are presented with a single organized Business View, which can include consistent definitions of corporate hierarchy or customer information, and provide a variety of detailed or summarized viewpoints for the various groups of information consumers. Business Views provide you with the highest level of data abstraction, where you see Business Views as an abstract database connection and the contained Business Elements as virtual tables that contain Business Fields. Business Views are created using a thick-client designer in BusinessObjects Enterprise, the Business View Manager. End users access Business Views through applications such as Crystal Reports, OLAP Intelligence, and when creating ad hoc reports. For more information on Business Views, see the Crystal Reports User s Guide. Using Business Views with the BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Integration Kit for Baan Using Business Views with the BusinessObjects XI Integration Kit for Baan requires that the Native Baan Driver be installed on each machine that will be using Business Views even if the user is simply reporting against Business Views. For instruction on installing the Native Baan Driver, see Installing the Native Baan Driver on page 10. For detailed information on BusinessObjects Enterprise Business Views, contact your administrator. Note: Integrated Baan Reporting does not support Business Views. 50 BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Integration Kit for Baan User s Guide
51 Using BusinessObjects Enterprise Tools and Features Crystal Reports Explorer 6 Crystal Reports Explorer About Crystal Reports Explorer Crystal Reports Explorer allows users to create and modify reports, design layouts, and perform data analysis using a zero-client interface.

54 7 Working with Integrated Baan Reporting Overview Overview The Integrated Baan Reporting component of the BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Integration Kit for Baan enables you to convert Baan reports into Crystal reports from a Baan print session. You view the generated Crystal reports over the Web, so there is no need to install any Windows client software on your local machine. Once you convert a Baan report to a Crystal report, you can search for particular results using the report viewer s Search Text tool. When you need to save or distribute a report, you choose between multiple export formats, including RTF and PDF. This chapter includes the following topics: Converting Baan reports to Crystal reports on page 55. Navigating Crystal reports on page 56. Exporting and printing reports on page 56. Searching report data on page 57 Locating reports using InfoView on page 57 Creating shortcuts to your favorite Baan reports on page BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Integration Kit for Baan User s Guide

Note: The total number of report pages (displayed here as 2/5+) is not calculated until you click the Go to Last Page button. To increase/decrease the report's size Choose from the list of zoom values in the Zoom list on the toolbar. To navigate through grouped data 1. If the Group Tree is not displayed, click the Show/Hide Group Tree button on the toolbar. 2. Click any group in the tree to go directly to that section of the report. Exporting and printing reports From the viewer, you can export reports to various file formats, including Crystal reports (.rpt), Microsoft Excel (.xls), Microsoft Word (.doc), Rich Text (.rtf), and Adobe Acrobat (.pdf). You can also print hard copies of your reports. 56 BusinessObjects XI Release 2 Integration Kit for Baan User s Guide
