You have to change the system parameters :
DESTFORMAT = Delimited
DESNAME = c:\file.xls
DESTYPE = FILE

Format issue after Oracle Reports conversion

Hi all:
I am an intermediate Oracle Reports user and am evaluating teh use of BI Publisher as a replacement. Since I have a large number of reports, some of which are fairly complex, I wish to take advantage of the conversion tool.
The report in this issue has no user parameters. The Data Model is a "Data Template" type as generated from the conversion routine. The connection used was as the schema owner.
I can View the report, but the formatting is completely wrong and the charts are no longer in the report.
What do I need to do to fix this?
Any help appreaciated,
Gary

Hi Gary
The converter does not handle charts at the moment. You will need to re-create those in the template.
Need a bit more info on 'the formatting is completely wrong' to be able to comment further.
Regards
Tim

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

Layout issue while trying Migrate Oracle Report to XML publisher Reports

Hi
I am trying to Convert Seeded Oracle Reports (rdf) to BI Publisher reports, in doing so encounter layout issues. The layout of the RTF , PDF or HTML generated by BI Publisher is different form the text, PDF or HTML outputs generated by the concurrent report. The problem with the BI Publisher template and out put
Is, the lay out is getting distorted .
Steps to archive the migration :
-     download the rdf from the server to local m/c.
-     execute Forms 9i Util rwconverter to generate a xml
-     use the oracle.apps.xdo.rdfparser.RTFTemplateGenerator API to generate a RTF template of the report layout
-     Then use this template to generate a XSL via oracle.apps.xdo.template.RTFProcessor API
-     The Apply the XSL on the XML data output of the report using oracle.apps.xdo.template.FOProcessor to generate RTF , PDF & HTML files.
Name of the Report used for migration “FSG - Report Detail Listing” , responsibility GL super User. This was just a random report we picked-up for trial.
The layout of these files seems to distorted than the layout of the original report output as generated by the rdf report.
Pls suggest some means to resolve this or any pointers towards what causing this could be of help.

The process of "converting" an old Oracle Reports rdf into a BIP report is more akin to writing a brand new report in BIP than to what most people would consider a true conversion.
The conversion routine outlined by Oracle just gives you a starting point for converting RDF layouts into BIP, and nothing more. In regards to the data define it does somewhat better generating your queries and XML layout (but honestly, that is the easy part), but even for the data define it will lose your formula columns as well as report triggers.
I have used the converter on several dozen rdf files and I have yet to see one that is better than 10-20% ready for use after the conversion process.
I would strongly suggest that you only convert the reports that you have to convert (for enhancements, modifications, etc). If it ain't broke in old Oracle Reports, dont' try to fix it in BIP.

How to Open an Oracle Report From a JSF Page

Hi there,
I would be really grateful if anyone would find me a solution to the following scenario:
In my company, we have a project where we have to convert Oracle Forms and Reports to Java Web Application. The conversion of forms is being done thourgh JSF/ADF technology but how can i open an Oracle Report from a JSF page after supplying it with parameters ? Or i have to do some type of conversion before ?
Once again i would be thankfull for your replies.

Tapash,
Thanks for reponding.
Here is the URL I am currently using :
https://gccss.glendale.edu:8001/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=rep60_crp3+userid=apps/pswd@crp3+report=/u07/oracle/crp3appl/gcccus/11.5.0/reports/US/GCC_ACCRUAL_BAL_0505.rdf+desformat=html+paramform=yes+destype=cache+p_accesscode=""
The p_accesscode is the parameter I need to pass to the Oracle report.
Currently, when I click the button, it invokes the above URL and takes me to the parameter form of the Oracle report and when I enter the Username, it runs the report and displays the desired output. But, what I need to achieve is, to pass the current user who has logged in behind the scene and to get rid of the parameter screen totally. Is this doable ? If yes, please help me !!!
Thanks

Oracle Report as data source in XMLP data template?

I use XML Publisher 5.6.3 in EBS 11.5.10
Is it possible to make an xml data template with an oracle report (rdf) as one of the sources of data? (I'm not saying create a Data Def with no Data Template attached... rather point the Data Template to an rdf, or it's xml output.)
I converted RAXINV.rdf (Invoice) to a data template and layout template. I had to replicate the data template portion of the oracle report and add our own fields to the queries because we have custom fields we want on the invoice report. I didn't want to modify the original rdf.
I am wondering if I could have avoided converting the entire data template portion of the rdf. My thought is that if I could make a data template that combines A) the xml output of the original rdf, together with B) our custom sql, I could eliminate the "rdf-to-data template" conversion step. This would have been a significant time savings, because making the converted data template actually work was no small task.
Any and all thoughts are welcome.

You need the source-data as XML for BIP.
You can use
1. RDF to generate xml.
2. datatemplate to generate xml.
The ultimate aim is to get xml out of it, so consider both are same.
If you are comfortable in using RDF, then go ahead and use that.

Converting Oracle Reports to XML Publisher

Hello,
I've been trying to convert my Oracle Reports to use XML Publisher templates and make the canned reports more visually appealing. I've been following the steps described in note 295409.1 on metalink to change OR output to XML and calling the XMLP Engine to apply the template.
However I'm encountering errors when XMLP is calling the template. In order to jump start my template development, I've used the utility in Release 12 to change the RDF file into the PL/SQL packages and RTF template. Then I am attempting to reengineer these templates back into 11.5.10 and uploading them via XML Publisher Administrator. I am experiencing the errors described in the following forum thread:
XML Publisher error..urgent
I've located the problem within the template itself, but is this because of the conversion utility in release 12 (XML Version 5.6.3) is not compatible with our current XMLP version of 5.6.2 in 11i?
Any assistance would be helpful.
Thanks!
Ellen

This could have something to do with the fact that your printer is not set up correctly. Can you run a plain text (OReports) file output to the same printer? If not, then the printer is not set up in FND correctly. If you can ...
Remeber that unless you have a more modern printer that can handle PDF documents natively then XMLPs PDF is going to need to be converted to PS or PCL. I would suggest you investigate the PASTA printer driver and get that set up. It provides the ability to call a program pdf2ps for instance, to convert the PDF to PS. There is a bunch of info on metalink

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.
Thanks,
Vinod

Oracle reports and xml publisher

Hello,
I would like to know what we can do with an XML generated with Oracle Forms in BI publisher.
I have never used BI publisher before.
Thank you.

There is a conversion tool available to convert Oracle Reports file to BI Publisher.
More information: [Converting Reports from Oracle Reports to Oracle BI Publisher|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187/T518230T518393.htm]
I have used it to migrate Oracle Reports file. For simple reports it is usable. For complex ones you have to check manually and do some changes in the result

Oracle Reports - PDF report

I have a PDF report designed using oracle report builder 6i. This report has a margin that prints the total of all the quantities to be ordered via a QUOTE. If this report prints beyond one page, then the total will print on all the pages. Users do not want to see the total on all the pages but only on the last page. I really need to keep these total fields on the MARGIN section of the layout. Is there any way, i can still keep these fields on the margin and print them only on the last page of the report? The report builder do not let me set the 'print condition' as the 'last page' because it is in the margin section. Any idea on this issue??

I would create a trigger for your MARGIN totals so they print only on the last page.
Have the trigger return TRUE if current page = total pages, else return FALSE.
This will make sure your margin totals are only visible on the last page.

XML Publisher Report in EBS without Standard Oracle Report

Hi folks ,
i have some questions.
Can I create a XML Publisher Report for the EBS without a Standard Oracle Report in EBS.
So that I can build up the files with the Desktop Publisher, create Data Definition / Template with Upload / Create the executable und concurrent and than only start the new program in EBS ?
I have the situation that I can start my program with the template in the background but ít is searching for the report on the file system.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
regards
Kay

Hi Ravi ,
can i do it only with the xml Publisher , because when i tried it in the past and get all the staff like Template / DD / CP up and running and started the CR i get an error from the system that he is missing a report directly in the file system... so he searched for the report himself on system like a standard 6i Report. But the template and the dd is stored in the db. So my question again, can I use the XML Puplisher without a Standard Report or can i use a dummy file only for checking and after that he use my template / dd.
regards
Kay

Help needed for MySQL 5 database DSN less connection with Oracle reports

Hi,
I am using Oracle Develper Suite and java (J2EE) for my application. I am using MySql 5 as database tool. I want to use Oracle reports of Oracle Develper suite. I have created some reports by first creating system DSN for MySql database and then connect Oracle reports to that DSN by "jdbc:odbc" connection string provided in Oracle Report developer wizard. This is working fine.
I want to generate reports without creating system DSN (DSN less) so that i can use my application on any computer without creating DSN for Oracle Reports. I am deploying my application on OC4j as "EAR" file.
Help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Regards.

Using an 8i client, you will need to configure the tnsnames.ora file with appropriate connection information if you are using local naming. If you are using host naming or something like an Oracle Names server to resolve TNS aliases, you can skip the tnsnames.ora configuration. A default installation of the Oracle client, though, will probably be using local naming.
If the tnsnames.ora file is configured, or you have configured an alternate way of resolving TNS aliases, you should be able to use the connection string
DRIVER={Oracle ODBC Driver};DBQ=<<TNS alias>>;UID=system;PWD=managerIf you wanted to move to the 10g client (the 10g Instant Client could be useful here), there are some streamlined naming methods that could be used instead of configuring the tnsnames.ora file.
