How to generate Excel files in Oracle Reports

Hi,
I've already built a JSP using oracle reports and Deploy on the report service. I also add a button to the left of the JSP.The next thing I want to do is:when user click on the button, the system will prompt a excel file contains the same content as the JSP file.
Can anybody teach me how to do? Thanks very much

Hi Ni,
It may not be possible to see the output of the SAME report in Excel as well. You will have to design another report which can open in Excel. You can follow this demo:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/excel/index.html
Then you can add an action to your button so that it opens the new report in a new browser window. This new browser window will open MS Excel and show the report inside Excel.
The reason that you can't output the SAME report in HTML as well as MS Excel is because we use page contentType to specify the application that the browser should open the document in (the application can be MS Word, MS Excel, etc). For example,
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
But we can only specify one contentType for a JSP, so the report can either be viewed as HTML or inside MS Excel.

Generated pdf file from oracle reports show bad characters

Hello all,
Iam fighting with a problem with generated pdf file from oracle reports which show some bad characters. I was searching for some information but it didnt help...
I have Oracle Database 11g R2 (or 10g R2) on Oracle Linux or Windows, Oracle forms and reports 6i (i know that is very old and not supported with 11gr2 but we are in this scenario).
NLS parameters are set like this
server:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
client:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY SLOVAK
NLS_LANGUAGE SLOVAKIA
When I run Oracle Reports it show perfect in display and when I try to print them, they are all good with good characters, but when I try to generate pdf file, some characters like č,š,ľ are not displaying corectly... This happen only when try to generate to pdf...
I try to work with uifont.ali on client side but without any result. Fonts for reports were installed on client and server side... Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you very much for every advice.
Martin

Hi Sergiusz,
Thank you for your reply. I look at what you wrote and try to make some test...
1) For first I download FontForge, which can generate type1 font from true type. So I open FontForge and open my Arial.ttf font and use "Generate Fonts" to save my Arial.ttf font to pfb and pfm (whoch are need to set in uifont.ali). I have to change encoding, because my font has 2byte encoding so I reecondode the font from ISO10646-1 to ISO8859-2 and generate to pfb.
2) Then I navigate REPORTS_PATH from regedit to my *.pfm and *.pfb files.
3) I add these lines to end of my uifont.ali
[ PDF:Embed ]
Arial = "Arial.pfm Arial.pfb"
ArialNarrow = "ArialNarrow.pfm ArialNarrow.pfb"
4) Then I generate my report but nothing change... I check "Font used" in my pdf file, but there were not my fonts embedded I guess..
I also try PDF:Subset, but it doesnt change anything... I try PDF aliasing to see if my uifont is working - this work very well, but I dont need to change font...
Any other advice? Thank you so much to everyone!

How to generate excel file as output using OWB

Hi,
I have a requirement to generate an excel file as output using OWB.
I am trying for a direct approach to create excel files.
Though I know that excel can be created from a .csv file, I am looking for a direct approach to generate excel file without involving any .csv to excel conversion externally.
Regards,
Sri

so, we are trying to do it by the help of oracle heterogeneous services. In my opinion it is possible (it depends on feature of ODCB Excel driver)
For more details look at thread (it is about MS SQL Server but maybe it helps)

Help Required:How Upload Excel file Into Oracle Table Using PLSQL Procedure

Please Help , Urgent Help Needed.
Requirement is to Upload Excel file Into Oracle Table Using PLSQL Procedure/Package.
Case's are :
1. Excel File is On Users/ Client PC.
2. Application is on Remote Server(Oracle Forms D2k).
3. User Is Using Application Using Terminal Server LogIn.
4. So If User Will Use to GET_FILE_NAME() function of D2K to Get Excel File , D2k Will Try to pick File from That Remote Server(Bcs User Logind from Terminal Server Option).
5. Cannot Use Util_File Package Or Oracle Directory to Place That File on Server.
6. we are Using Oracle 8.7
So Need Some PL/SQL Package or Fuction/ Procedure to Upload Excel file on User's Pc to Oracle Table.
Please Guide me wd some Code. or with Some Pl/SQL Package, or With SOme Hint. Or any Link ....
Jus help to Sort This Issue ........
you can also write me on :
[email protected], [email protected]

TEXT_IO is a PL/SQL package available only in Forms (you'll want to post in the Forms forum for more information). It is not available in a stored procedure in the database (where the equivalent package is UTL_FILE).
If the Terminal Server machine and the database machine do not have access to the file system on the client machine, no application running on either machine will have access to the file. Barring exceptional setups (like the FTP server on the client machine), your applications are not going to have more access to the client machine than the operating system does.
If you map the client drives from the Terminal Server box, there is the potential for your Forms application to access those files. If you want the files to be accessible to a stored procedure in the database, you'll need to move the files somewhere the database can access them.
