Displaying files in Reports6 (Oracle Reports Team) URGENT

HELP! I cannot come up with a solution to this problem as yet and
I am desperate.
I have two different file formats
format 1: 4 fields ==> Branch, Policy Number, Due Date, Amount
length :43 characters.
format 2: 8 fields ==> the above plus others
length :73 characters.
NB. This is the structure of two separate client files.
Aim: To display the contents of the files to the client.
What has been tried:
1. Text_io.getline was used to read each record from file into
fields on the screen(this is done within a procedure). In
the Data Model view the company name was retrieved so that
the appropriate format (format 1 or 2)could be chosen. In the
layout model depending on the company the corresponding
fields were displayed. However when the program was run only
the last record in the file was displayed. How does one get
Reports6 to show all the records that was read?
2. The repeating frame concept does not apply as I simply want
to display files read and even when a select was done where
I know the values would be repeated this did not work - only
the last line of the file was displayed.
3. Again another dummy select was tried with the intent of
using the 'Read From File' property. This did not apply in
my situation. ( Or it could be that I do not understand how
to use this).
Any help that is forthcoming is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

hello,
this request sounds now more as if you want to use the text-file
as a datasource.
unfortunatly this is not possible with reports 6i as the support
for text-files as datasources will be introduced with the next
(upcoming) release.

  • PDF file created from Oracle Report is attached wrongly

    Hi,
    Please help. It is very urgent.
    I am using Oracle Developer 10gR2, Oracle Report 10.1.2 on Windows 2000.
    I would like to attach the PDF file created by Oracle Report to the Notification sent from Workflow.
    I use the following package procedure in my Workflow.
    procedure Create_File_Attachment (document_id   in varchar2, display_type  in varchar2, document      in out blob, document_type in out varchar2)
    is
         l_itemtype          varchar2(100);
         l_itemkey           varchar2(100);
         l_output_directory  varchar2(30);

         document_type := 'application/pdf; name=attach.pdf';
    end Create_File_Attachment;Oracle Report created the PDF file correctly (original.pdf).
    I tried to attach the PDF into my Workflow.
    I can see the file is attached (attach.pdf), but it cannot be opened.
    The Adobe shows : 'A drawing error occured.' each time I open the attachment.
    I compare the original.pdf and the attach.pdf
    However, there is one specific difference
    - in original.pdf, the line started with '.' (single period)
    in attach.pdf, the line is started with '..' (two periods)
    Thus the attachment cannot be opened.
    After I delete the period, it can be opened.
    Question:
    - Has someone ever succeed in attaching the PDF created from Report?
    - Are the codes above is wrong?
    - Or perhaps the DBMS_LOB.LOADBLOBFROMFILE always double the single period on front of the line?
    - Is there any solution on this?
    Note:
    I have succeed in attaching PDF files unless the PDF created by the Report.
    Sorry for the long post.
    Please help. It is very urgent.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Many thanks,
    Buntoro

    The code looks absolutely good. I have the same code working in my system. Only difference is I use TRUE and DBMS_LOB.Session for the BLOB I use to read from the BFILE.
    I can suggest one more way to handle to binary attachments if you are on Oracle 9i DB are later versions.

      exception
        when file_not_found then

          raise_application_error(-20002, l_err_msg);
      end;
      dbms_lob.LoadBLOBFromFile(l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.LobMaxSize, l_src_offset, l_dst_offset);
      dbms_lob.FileClose(l_bfile);
      -- Encode the BLOB content to BASE64 and attach to notification  
      wf_mail_util.EncodeBLOB(l_blob, l_clob);
      l_amount := dbms_lob.GetLength(l_clob);
      dbms_lob.Copy(p_document, l_clob, l_amount, 1, 1);
      -- Mention an appropriate Content Type so that Notification System
      -- understands the attachment content
      p_document_type := l_content_type||'; encoding=base64; name='||l_filename;
    end attach_document;Here I read the BLOB from the filesystem and base64 encode it before giving it to the Mailer. Please note that this is a PLSQLCLOB based attachment as against PLSQLBLOB that you are using.

  • Time out error in oracle reports--very urgent

    Hi
    I have this oracle report on 9i which calls 14 other reports and runs them
    via a wrapper report which I run from a URL
    However I get this engine null crashed error or else Engine rwEng-0 is destroyed due to timeout error.
    From what I understand there is a timeout issue happening bcoz reports is taking a long time to run.Hence I increased the value of engineResponseTimeOut but it does not help either.Would you have any other idea to resolve this issue?
    Could someone plz tell me urgently how can this be resolved.This is on Oracle 9i.
    Thanks

    Hi Ravi kanth,
    You are using select * statement which is very time consuming and low performance. Dont use select * instead use select field1 field2.... into table itab  where field1 = s_field.  Use corresponding field names in the select statement.
    Follow the below rules.
    1) Dont use nested select statements
    2) If possible use for all entries in addition
    3) In the where addition make sure you give all the primary key
    4) Use Index for the selection criteria.
    5) You can also use inner joins
    6) You can try to put the data from the first select statement into an Itab and then in order to select the data from the second table use for all entries in.
    7) Use the runtime analysis SE30 and SQL Trace (ST05) to identify the performance and also to identify where the load is heavy, so that you can change the code accordingly
    <b>reward if useful</b>.

    In Reports 6i, ODBC data sources are supported through OCA functionality (you should be able to find more about this in the help and documentation provided with the product).
    In Reports 9i, JDBC data sources are supported through a native JDBC pluggable data source. We also support direct connections to Oracle Express, text files and XML files. If this is still insufficient for your needs, you can write your own pluggable datasource through a provided public API.
