    It is possible to connect Oracle database to MS Sql server database using the Oracle Transparent Gateway for MS SQL Server.

    Have a look at the reports help for the purpose header and trailer sections. Here is an exert:
    "Report sectioning enables you to define multiple layouts in the same report, each with a different target audience, output format, page layout, page size, or orientation. You can define up to three report sections, each with a body area and a margin area: the names of the sections are Header, Main, and Trailer. By default, a report is defined in the Main section. In the other sections, you can define different layouts, rather than creating multiple separate reports. If you wish, you can use the margin and body of the Header and Trailer sections to create a Header and Trailer page for your reports."

  • Oracle Reports with PL/SQL package in before Trigger

    I have an oracle report which is set to run as a concurrent program in Oracle Apps. My before report trigger calls a pl/sql package. I am debating using errbuf and retcode, since I have not defined the pl/sql package as a concurrent program. But if I do add errbuf and retcode to the pl/sql package parameters, how do I call them in the trigger.
    function BeforeReport return boolean is
    begin
    delete from XXDK_SAMS2_MEAN_RATIO;
    delete from XXDK_SALES_RATIO_TOTALS;
    commit;
    XXDK_SAMS2_SALES_RATIO_RPT_PKG.INSERT_SALES*(:errbuf, :retcode*, :neighborhood, :salefrom, :saleto, :verfrom, :verto, :tax,
    :deed1, :deed2, :deed3, :tran1, :tran2, :tran3, :accnttype);
    return (TRUE);
    end;
    And do I add errbuf and ret code as paramters in the registered setup?

    As far as I know this is possible using ODBC and Oracle Open Client Adapter (OCA), but I do not know the details and the howto's.

  • SQL for oracle Reports

  • Data Source for Oracle reports

    Hi,
    Can Oracle Reports support anyother data source. I am using
    Reports Server to invoke reports. The requirement is client
    passing the dat that have to come in the report. (The size of
    data can be high).So is there any method other than sending the
    data as parametes(which in this case is not feasible).
    The client is a browser.
    Regards
    Ravi

    hello,
    oracle reports 6i supports SQL, PLSQL and Express as datasource.
    for passing large amounts of data, a temporary table in the
    database would be most reasonable.

  • How to disable showing page number on oracle report

Avoid the word "report", or else make it clear what you're doing.
    By default, TTITLE puts the date on the left, and the page number on the right.
    If you don't want them, put something else there. Explicitly put an empty string there, if you don't want anything else:
    TTITLE  LEFT ""   CENTER "Monthly Firbolig Summary"   RIGHT ""

  • SQL Query as Item Source/Oracle Reports w/ HTML DB?

    I have successfully used a SQL Query as an item source in the past on several occasions. However, in this instance, every time I try to do this, I get the following error:
    Error ERR-1019 Error computing item default value: page=3 name=P3_TEST_ITEM.
    ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested ORA-02063: preceding line from [database_name]
    If I use the exact same query in creating a report region, the page displays fine and the query returns the correct data. Why might this be happening, and what can I do to fix it?
    Also - off the subject - is there a way to use HTML DB to deploy reports that are created in Oracle Reports Builder? I have created several employee productivity reports for supervisors and managers in HTML DB, which is great for allowing them to run them live and have fields as parameters for varying employees, date ranges, etc... but formatting them to be browser and printer friendly is an absolute nightmare so far. If I could create and format the reports in Reports Builder and then deploy them using HTML DB, while still being able to offer parameters to the user, that would be perfect. Is this possible?

    Here is my query:
    SELECT
    TO_CHAR((sum(decode(ef.production_function,'Y',ef.function_minutes+ef.function_ot_minutes))/60)/8, '9999999.99')
    FROM
    RLAPPLSG.EMPLOYEE_INFO@REMOTE_SERVER EI,
    RLAPPLSG.SC_EMP_FUNCTIONS@REMOTE_SERVER EF,
    RLAPPLSG.SC_EMP@REMOTE_SERVER E
    WHERE
    ( e.SC_EMP_NBR=ef.SC_EMP_NBR )
    AND ( ei.EMP_ID=e.EMP_ID )
    AND (
    ( trunc(( e.SC_DATE )) BETWEEN :P2_BEGIN_DATE AND :P2_END_DATE )
    AND (ei.EMP_MGRS_ID = :P2_SUPERVISOR_ID
    OR ei.EMP_ID = :P2_SUPERVISOR_ID)
    Every table and/or view that is referenced here is done so remotely. The column datatype breakdown is as follows:
    production_function - BOOLEAN
    function_minutes - NUMBER
    function_ot_minutes - NUMBER

  • Converting from rpt to oracle reports

    hello all
    i ld like to know if i can convert report in RPT to oracle report ,and how i can do it , if its possible ?
    regards

    Hi ,
    With what application is RPT is generated ? Oracle Reports supports extensions only like RDF, REX, REP, XML(Report XML type), JSP(Report JSP type), TDF(Report template binary file).
    Oracle Reports converter application(rwconverter.exe in 9i) allows different conversions possible. This application has a UI which will list you all the source types that are allowed as drop-down list and one another drop-down for Destination types.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?

    I believe the built-in package SRW.Do_Sql is what you are looking for
    Example from the document:
    /* Suppose you want to create a "table of contents" by getting the
    ** first character of a columns value, and page number on which its
    ** field fires to print. Assume that you want to put the "table of

    ** into a table named SHIP. You could write the following construct:
    DECLARE
    PAGE_NO NUMBER;
    PAGE_FOR INDEX NUMBER;
    SORT_CHAR CHAR(1);
    CMD_LINE CHAR(200);
    BEGIN
    SORT_CHAR := :SORT_NAME ;
    IF :CALLED = Y THEN
         SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_FOR_INDEX);
         SRW.USER_EXIT(RWECOP PAGE_FOR_INDEX
         P_START_PAGENO);
         SRW.MESSAGE(2,TO_CHAR(:P_START_PAGENO));
    END IF;
    SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_NO);
    CMD_LINE := INSERT INTO SHIP VALUES
                          (||SORT_CHAR||,||TO_CHAR(PAGE_NO)||);

  • Pl/sql vs oracle reports 6i

    Hi I am new to oracle development.
    My requirement is to create a text file periodically reading data from oracle tables.
    the client wants me to use oracle reports 6i and create a text file. they actually do not have a requirement for a report or this report will not be used in nay other way.
    the final output should be text file.
    i feel using utl_file package creating the text file on the server is a much better option. for this i thought writing a stored procedure and scheduling this procedure.
    please suggest me how i should convince. please give me suggestions in this. thanks in advance..mohan

    A while back all reports were just text files, what is the difference between a text report and a text file? If Oracle reports can do it go ahead. If you think it is overhead spool it from SQL*Plus, which as well as being an ad hoc query tool is actually designed as a text only report writer. If you want to you can still use a stored procedure that returns a ref cursor and just print and format the output in SQL*Plus however its wanted.
    Don't use util_file, its more code, slower, complicated, you can't just use SQL, you have to loop (though for some reason many programmers seem to see this as an advantage), it can only access the server, Its more suitable for diagnostics, tracing and logging, things the DBA would be interested in, not for the end user or external system interfaces.

  • Auto print Oracle report through call to PL/SQL

    I have been tasked with finding a way to generate an Oracle report from a java servlet. Basically they want to pass in parameters to a PL/SQL procedure and have it automatically print out, without user interaction.
    Can this be done?
    Jeff

    I am in a similar situation and have reached a bit of an impass. I am creating the report by means of passing a dynamically created URL from WebDB to the Report Server.
    I have created a procedure to do various things and was planning on calling the report via the procedure using
    OWA_UTIL.redirect_url depending on the params
    that the user entered. Does the UTL_HTTP work in the same means as the aforementioned? Or are they the same thing?
