How to open Report output in RTF format using concurrent request form.

Hi
I have created a report using BI publisher and RTF format. This report is working fine in PDF format. User can submit report using consurrent request form and can see report preview in PDF format.
Now user wants to submit another request and wants to see report output in RTF format.
User submitted a request, request successfully completed and generated a output RTF file in unix box but when user wants to see report output using concurrent request form (View Output) then window is showing raw data instead of RTF output.
Can any body tell me about solutions?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi
I did little R&D on it and found following 2 solutions.I am sure that you also find something but for my shake i am putting it here.If you already find the solution then ignore it.
I) 1st Solution
1)Change the profiles 'Viewer: Application for Text' and put value as 'Browser'
2) Change the profiles 'Viewer: Text' and put value as 'Browser'.Either change it system level or concerned user.
3) Log out from Current session and close all internet explorer application.
4) Log in again to check the result
II) 2nd Solution
1) Navigate to: Sys admin --> Install -> Viewer Options to open the Form "Viewer Options".
Do the entry as shown below:
File_Format     Mime Type               Description
RTF          application/rtf Microsoft Word(.rtf)
RTF          application/msword          Microsoft Word(.rtf)
2) Then ensure that the profile option Viewer: Application for Text is set to BLANK at the Site Level and User Level.
3) Then ensure that the profile option Viewer: Text is set to 'browser' at the Site Level.
-- It will pop-up the screen to choose application name from above two values.
Hope this will work it for you. For me i replicated the scenario and both solutions were working for me.
With Best Regards

URGENT HELP:Reports Output in RTF Format

Hi,
I have a problem with Oracle Reports 3.0
I am generating a report output to a RTF file.
The report is output in landscape orientation in Reports Runtime
window.
But when I open the RTF document, the output is in
Portrait orientation and some of the information is getting out
of the view. If I manually change the orientation in the RTF
Page Setup, I am able to view the output properly.
Can this be automated by using some property/setup in Oracle
Reports 3.0?
Also, the BMPs are not visible in the RTF file.
Can anyone help me on these issues?

Hi Aravind,
I dont think there is any help in HTMLDB for this. There is this technical note: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/notes/technote_htmldb_fop.html I dont really like this approach.
You should consider using XML Publisher. Its a new Oracle product that is easy to use and really works! Actually its an Oracle Application product that is now standalone. Its much faster to use than making the xslt manually. You can make the templates in Word. We have a project where we dont make any templates. The customers make their own on each site.
There of cause is a licensing issue. Depending on you setup it can be expensive.
Check:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/applications/publishing/index.html
BI Publisher
You can download it from Oracle eDelivery:
http://edelivery.oracle.com/EPD/Download/get_form?egroup_part_number=B23145-01
Product Pack Oracle Application Server Products
Platform: Any (e.g. Window 32 Bit)
The part number is B23145-01: "Oracle® XML Publisher CD/Media Pack".
This includes the client and server side code + documentation and sample templates and applications.

How to save report in text (.txt) format using SSRS

Hello
I am using some .rdl file to generate reports and this is using SSRS. But only thing I did that I have changed the configuration file in C drive as below :
Here
Collapse | Copy Code
<Extension Name="TXT" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.CsvRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.CsvRendering">
<OverrideNames>
<Name Language="en-US">TXT (Pipe Delimited Text File)</Name>
</OverrideNames>
<Configuration>
<DeviceInfo>
<FieldDelimiter>|</FieldDelimiter>
<Extension>TXT</Extension>
<Encoding>ASCII</Encoding>
<NoHeader>true</NoHeader>
</DeviceInfo>
</Configuration>
</Extension>
The TXT is added to the drop down . But when I am saving the report it is not saving in .txt format. It is taking .CSV format. Kindly help to save report in txt format.

Hi Chat89,
By design, SQL Server Reporting Services render a report to CSV (text) format with a comma (,) as FieldDelimiter in .CSV FileExtension. So if we want to display Pipe FieldDelimiter in .txt format, we can modify those setting in the RSReportserver.config
file as below:
Please navigate to RSReportserver.config file: <drive:>\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS11.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ReportServer \RSReportserver.config.
Backup the RSReportserver.config file before we modify it, open the RSReportserver.config file with Notepad format.
In the <Render> section, add the new code for the CSV extension like this:
<Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
   <OverrideNames>
        <Name Language="en-US">TXT (Pipe Delimited Text File)</Name>
    </OverrideNames>
    <Configuration>
        <DeviceInfo>
            <FieldDelimiter>|</FieldDelimiter>
            <FileExtension>TXT</FileExtension>
        <NoHeader>true</NoHeader>
        </DeviceInfo>
    </Configuration>
</Extension>
Save the RSReportserver.config file.
For more information about CSV Device Information Settings, please see:

How to send the output to PDF format in reports 6i?

Hi,
How to send the output to PDF format in reports 6i? I given Mode = BITMAP.
DESTYPE = File, DESFORMAT = PDF, DESNAME = C:\x.pdf.
Report is running fine. But PDF file not generated. I don't know what i missed. Any one can help this?
Thanks
Kavitha

Hello,
Do you get this problem only for DESFORMAT=PDF ?
Test with :
DESFORMAT = RTF, DESNAME = C:\x.rtf
or
DESFORMAT = HTMLCSS, DESNAME = C:\x.html
does it work ?
Check if DESNAME is modified in the reports itself.

How to retrieve complete report output in HTML format

Hi,
I'm looking for how to retrieve complete report output in HTML format.
I have tried the following and it only give me first page of the report output where in the actual report output should be 5 pages. Is there something I'm missing.

For Web Intelligence, HTML is an interactive viewing format and not an export format such as PDF.
Note that the HTML will be embedded with postback URLs to the application for images and drill downs.
Closest you'd get is to be able to specify HTML output of an entire REPORT rather than REPORT_PAGE in the ViewSupport.setViewMode method. But this brings back just one report in the document, and will have postback URLs mentioned above.

Ted Ueda

Xml report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS

How to get xml publisher report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS?
I am getting XML Publisher report output in excel format by using options tab while submitting the concurrent request .
But i want to get excel output automatically.
Can anyone give idea to get XML publisher Report output in excel without selecting options tab.
Thanks in advance
Sandeep V

Hey Sandeep,
I am working on a similar format for a report and if possible can you please give me some guidelines. I have initially created reports using XML Publisher, but for those , the output preview format was PDF. So, if I select the preview format as EXCEL will it give me output in Excel and for this to happen, how do I define the rtf template. I believe the working will be same as for PDF, create a rdf report, get output in XML and apply the template to get the data in Excel or there is something different to this.
Thanks,
Sunil

Printing report output in PDF format

Hi,
I want to know what are the settings needed to print a report output in PDF format, while executing the report from Oracle applications (Ver 11.5.6).
Report is executed as a concurrent request from Oracle applications.
Normally when we run the report from Oracle applications, output will be opened in a internet browser(IE) in HTML format. But I want the output to be opened in PDF format instead of HTML.
OS: Sun Solaris 2.8.
Thanks & Regards,
Sarish

Hi Sarish
Please contact Oracle Support for an answer or to customise your application so that it prints a report output in PDF Format.
To get PDF output you must run report/job with DESFORMAT=PDF in the command line instead of DESFORMAT=HTML/HTMLCSS.

Report output in XML format

Is it possible to save (or export) report output in XML format, it is ok with either WebI or DeskI report, here we are concerned about output format not what type of report we can use to produce the output in XML format.
Thank you,
Srini

Hi Srinivas,
Only options available in WEBI or DESKI is to save documents in Excel or PDF format.
As a workaround you can use Excel as an intermediate between your WEBI or DESKI document to XML format.
When you try to save WEBI document in XML Data format you may get following Error because the Excel sheet does not contain any XML format that requires.
u201CCan Not save XML data because the workbook does not contain any XML mappingsu201D
Solution:
1. Excel cannot save all or part of your workbook as XML Data if you have not created one or more mapped ranges.
2. If you haven't added an XML map to your workbook, or your data is not contained within an XML list, then you can save your workbook in the XML Spreadsheet file format.
If you have added an XML map to your workbook, follow these steps to map XML elements to your worksheet:
1. On the Data menu, point to XML, and then click XML Source to open the XML Source task pane.
2. To map one or more elements to your worksheet, select the elements in the XML Source task pane. To select nonadjacent elements, click one element, and then hold down CTRL and click each element.
3. Drag the selected elements to the worksheet location where you want them to appear.
I Hope this helps to find the path of solution with Ease.
Thanks...

How to open report in the browser from PL/SQL procedure

Hi,
I need to call the report (with destype = SCREEN) from the PL/SQL procedure and display in the browser.
For Example: when I call P_call_report procedure in my Forms6i button or at sql*plus, the report output PDF/HTML should open in the Browser window.
Iam Using IE, report6i, forms 6i, Oracle 8.1.7, Windows OS
I tried using UTL_HTTP(' ') in a procedure. But when I execute the procedure at sql*plus it says Pl/sql procedure completed successfully message without opening report output in the browser window. If I copy the same url and paste it in the browser, it works.
Please let me know if there is any solution.
thanks alot.

I guess event driven publishing may work. But Iam not sure about the opening of the browser from inside the procedure.
