ODBC not working in Reports 6i.

I can not connect to any ODBC database via Reports 6i. When asked for username etc, I put in mnewman/mnn4578@ODBC:*, I get the DSN selection dialog, I switch to the machine tab, and select the odbc source I want, the system then responds with REP-0501: Unable to connect to teh specified database. And ORA-00022. invalid session id; access denied.
I have tried both checking the trusted connection dialog box on MS SQL server 7.0, and not checking it. It does not help. I have tried to connect to MS ACCESS 97, and Visual FoxPRo with the same error messages. How do I specify an ODBC connection to a database that is not password protected?
[email protected]
P.S. I downloaded the evaluation version of Reports 6i from your website. I would like to create one of our in house report applications on it to convince my boss that Oracle reports is superior to the antiquated time consuming mehtod of producing MIF files from ADOBE framemaker, merging them with database generated MIF code & data, viewing and possibly fixing up final output, the converision to PDF and or HTML.

Answering Oracle Reports questions is a bit out of my league, but I deal with a lot of ODBC apps, so I'll take a shot.
Try doing the following-
1) Open the Control Panel, Open the Data Sources (ODBC) control, and select the DSN you'll be using.
2) Put mnewman in the User ID field and mnn4578 in the password field.
3) I'm not familiar with the Oracle Reports dialog you're referring to when you say "I put in mnewman/mnn4578@ODBC:*", but make sure that you aren't providing more information than is being asked for (i.e. putting user/password@ODBC:* in a field that just asks for username). Since it's asking you to pick a DSN, it should be able to pull username/password information from the DSN.

I modified an existing Report and transported to production.But the Authorization Object is not working for that report.The Report is defaultly displaying all the company codes data(xxxx,yyyy) for all the users.But for the other reports its(company code ) is working fine.
What could be the problem?Is theproblem in transporting the objects.But i transported all the objects inluding auhorization object.
Please send me the solution as it is very much urgent.
The solution will be def. awarded with full points.

Issue is TEXT_IO application API is not working in report builder 10g.

Issue is TEXT_IO application API is not working in report builder 10g.
TEXT_IO application api is working in report builder 6i. (Not working in upgrade from Oracle EBiz 11i to Oracle Ebiz R12)
I saw that details in some forums, client_text_io is available for form builder 10g.
Is any other api available for report builder 10g?
If it is available what steps we need to do?

All the CLIENT_% procedures are part of webutil in Forms. Forms uses the Java applet on the client PC to perform actions on the local PC via webutil. This is not possible for Reports.
You can still use text_io on the server, but you need some other way to copy the files to/from the client PC.
I wonder how you used the functionality in EBS R11. Even R11 uses web reports, so text_io already worked on the server, not the client PC.

SSRS 2008 R2 Calendar Control not working and report not refreshing on pressing enter in Chrome.

SSRS reports are always best viewed in IE and the report result what you see in IE always will not be same and consistent in thirdy party browswers.
So consider using IE as workaround.

Debit/Credit Shift not working with report painter

Dears,
We have defined debit/credit shift while defining financial
statement version. This functionality working well with F.01 however its not
working with report painter results. any help will be highly appreciated
Regards,
FR

Hi Dave,
I have gone back to the books (JP Terry's "Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer") and think we can improve on things...
var oFields = xfa.resolveNodes("ViolationsText[*].DebitVal"); // looks to resolve the repeating rows (I think)
var nNodesLength = oFields.length; // assigns the number of rows to a variable
var sumTotal = 0; // this is a temporary holding variable for the total, during the loop
for (var i = 0; i < nNodesLength; i++) // this loops through as previous example
     if (oFields.ViolationsText[i].resolveNode("DebitVal").rawValue == "C")
          sumTotal = "";
          i = nNodesLength; // stops the loop
     else
          sumTotal += oFields.ViolationsText[i].resolveNode("DebitVal").rawValue;
this.rawValue = sumTotal;
This would go in the calculate event of your Total Debit Points field. I would be amazed if it worked first time. I haven't run through LC. Give it a lash!! (a try!!)
Good luck,
Niall

Hierarchy not working at report

Hi
I have created level based hierarchy in RPD on one dimension table, but hierarchy is not working in report level.
Can any one help.
Thanks

Hi
Actually we are not getting any error message.
But when we have enabled hierarchy on particular column, when we are using that column in report it should be getting some under line when we place cursor on that column data and when we click on one of the specified data we might be getting data related to that particular data. But it is not happening like that and we are able to see data as normal column data. This is my issue.
Please suggest
Thanks

Return and Linefeed not working in Reports 6i

Hello, i'm sending an output report (character mode) to dot matrix printer Epson FX850 Series from Oracle Applications 11i, the problem is after first page report because not working return and linefeed commands, i use default .prt file "dflt" and it is ok. If i send other documents (ms word, excel) there is no problem with return+linefeed.
I built the report in Reports 6i.
Thanks in advance.

Formula is not working in report

Hi Friends,
This is formula iam using in report.but in output iam getting only value 1.
Iam not getting other values. I think my OR condition is not working.
( ( ( ( ( 'KF1' < 0.1000 ) * 1 OR ( ( 'KF1' >= 0.1000 ) AND ( 'KF1' < 0.1200 ) ) * 2 ) OR ( ( 'KF1' >= 0.1200 ) AND ( 'KF1' < 0.1500 ) ) * 3 ) OR ( ( 'KF1' >= 0.1500 ) AND ( 'KF1' < 0.1800 ) ) * 4 ) OR ( 'KF1' >= 0.1800 ) * 5 )
Iam chenged open and close brackets....but it is not working.
How to use if condition or else condition in formula?
How can i get values in output accourding to range?
Thanks in advance
Ramu

Hi Ramu,
If condition can be used in Formulae like
Conditional Calculations (IF-THEN-ELSE)
You can make conditional calculations using Boolean operators An expression in the form
IF<Logic Expression> THEN <Expression1> ELSE <Expression2> can also be made using a formula in the form
<Logic Expression> * <Expression1> + NOT <Logic Expression> * <Expression2>
Example: IF Actual Costs > Plan Costs THEN Plan Costs + Plan Deviation ELSE Actual Costs
can be written as the following formula:
(Actual Costs > Plan Costs)* (Plan Costs + Plan Deviation) + (NOT (Actual Costs > Plan Costs)) * Actual Costs
or
(Actual Costs > Plan Costs)* (Plan Costs + Plan Deviation) + (Actual Costs <= Plan Costs) * Actual Costs
Please explain your case as its complex ...
Thanks

SRW.Run_Report is not working in Reports from 6i to 10g

Hi,
I have a report .rdf file that submits another .rdf report using the SRW.Run_Report. This code was working fine in Reports 6i version. We are upgrading the Reports 6i to Reports 10g, and did a small change in the call i.e., Removed the server parameter, and it is not working. This is in Oracle E-Business Suite environment. The first report is called as a Concurrent Program. Here is the call that was working fine in Reports 6i (i.e., Oracle Apps 11i environment)
srw.run_report('report='||l_source_dir||l_parent_shortname||'.rdf'||
' p_user_id='||l_user_id||
' p_resp_id='||l_resp_id||
' p_appl_id='||l_appl_id||
' p_conc_request_id='||
' batch=yes mode=character destype=file desname='||l_destination_dir||l_filename||
' desformat=verp_i012 p_vendor_id='||dealer_list_rec.vendor_id||
' p_trx_date_from='||to_char(l_date_from, 'DD-MON-RRRR') ||
' p_trx_date_to='||to_char(l_date_to,'DD-MON-RRRR') ||
' p_period_name='||l_period_name ||
' server='||l_server
It has been modified to the following for Reports 10g (i.e., Oracle Apps R12 environment)
srw.run_report('report='||l_source_dir||l_parent_shortname||'.rdf'||
' p_user_id='||l_user_id||
' p_resp_id='||l_resp_id||
' p_appl_id='||l_appl_id||
' p_conc_request_id='||
' batch=yes mode=character destype=file desname='||l_destination_dir||l_filename||
' desformat=verp_i012 p_vendor_id='||dealer_list_rec.vendor_id||
' p_trx_date_from='||to_char(l_date_from, 'DD-MON-RRRR') ||
' p_trx_date_to='||to_char(l_date_to,'DD-MON-RRRR') ||
' p_period_name='||l_period_name
);

Thank you for your reply.
Yes, it's done using MOD-PLSQL version 10.1.2.0.2.
I did as you said: compared the 2 generated HTML files. It's not that it doesn't generate all tags. It generates all tags but some of them are different, that is it screws them up.
Here it is some example code.
For example, in 9i I have the following code:
div id=div_plus_GENERALE style="cursor:hand; display:none;"
<td> width=8 </td>
<td id=butt align=left style="font-family:Verdana,Tahoma;
font-size: 10px; font-weight: 400; color: '#ffffff';
background-color: '';
"onClick="if (butt_clicked) butt_clicked.style.cssText=restore_butt_style;
butt_clicked=this; restore_butt_style=butt_off_lit;
this.style.cssText=butt_on_lit;
var x = document.getElementById('Freccia_' + freccia_old);
x.style.display = 'none';
Freccia_sitointer_anagrafica_anagrafica_cliente_punto.style.display='block';
freccia_old='sitointer_anagrafica_anagrafica_cliente_punto';"
onMouseOver="this.style.cssText=butt_on_lit;"
onMouseOut="if (butt_clicked != this) this.style.cssText=butt_off_lit;">Anagrafica Fornitura</td></tr>
<tr>
<td height=2></td>
</tr>
</table>
In 10g the HTML code looks like this:
div id=div_plus_GENERALE style="cursor:hand;"
<td width=8> </td>
<td align=left style="font-family:Verdana,Tahoma;
font-size: 10px; font-weight: 400; color: '#ffffff';
background-color: '';">
<a href="sitointer.anagrafica.anagrafica_cliente_punto target="frameCenter"
onClick="var x = document.getElementById('Freccia_' + freccia_old);
x.Style.visibility='hidden';
Freccia_sitointer_anagrafica_anagrafica_cliente_punto.Style.visibility='visible';
freccia_old='sitointer_anagrafica_anagrafica_cliente_punto';"
onMouseOver="this.style.cssText=butt_on_lit;"
onMouseOut="if (butt_clicked != this) this.style.cssText=butt_off_lit;">Anagrafica Fornitura</a></td></tr>
<tr>
<td height=2></td>
</tr>
</table>
At this point I don't know what should I investigate next.
Thank you very much.

Connection to MySQL via ODBC not working

Hello all together,
I've got a problem with the ODBC connection to MySQL. The connection via ODBC is established and things like tnsping are working.
When I select some data within the SQL*Plus environment, I get no real result. For example "select table_name from all_tables@mysql;" returns nothing.
My entry in listener.ora:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME=odbc_mysql)
(ORACLE_HOME=D:\oracle\product\11.0.1\db_1)
(PROGRAM=dg4odbc)
My entry in tnsnames.ora:
MYSQL =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = localhost)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA = (SID=odbc_mysql))
(HS=OK)
The initodbc_mysql.ora in ORACLE_HOME/hs/admin/:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = odbc_mysql
HS_AUTOREGISTER = TRUE
HS_DB_NAME = hsodbc
I tried some modifications but I still get no data from mysql database. When I try "select * from customer@mysql;" I get the correct number of records, the correct column names, but the content is always "¬¬¬¬". The odbc driver works, because with MS Access I can fetch the data. I'm using Oracle 11g Release 1 EE and MySQL ODBC 5.1.5.
What could be the reason for this?
Greetings,
Joerg

created in my UTF-8 Mysql DB your table and inserted a record; the select shows:
SQL> select * from "movieclass"@mysql;
idClass
ClassName
123
H e l l o
As you can see the content is there, the "space" between the letters is related to unicode. Each character is interpreted by 2 bytes and SQL*Plus wrongly displays both. Using iSQLPLus or SQLDeveloper does not show the "space" between the letters.
Here the data type mapping:
SQL> desc "movieclass"@mysql;
Name Null? Type
idClass NUMBER(3)
ClassName NOT NULL NVARCHAR2(50)
What's the exact version of DG4ODBC you're using? 11.1.0.7?
According to the listener file you're using DG4ODBC on Windows. There was a high/low byte issue in DG4ODBC for Windows. This issue is fixed in 11.1.0.7 and a certain patch. So I recommend you to get first the 11.1.0.7 patchset (if you don't already have it installed):
6890831 Oracle Database Family: Patchset
11.1.0.7.0 PATCH SET FOR ORACLE DATABASE SERVER 11.1.0.7.0
and then please apply also the latest patch:
8689191 Oracle Database Family: Patch
ORACLE 11G 11.1.0.7 PATCH 16 BUG FOR WINDOWS 32 BIT 11.1.0.7.0
There was a high/low byte issue

Formula Columns are not working in Reports 10g

Hi,
We converted the reports developed in Reports 6i to Reports 10g. When we run the report in Reports 10g Builder everything works fine. But when we deploy the same report in Oracle Application Server and invoking the report the formula columns are not working ie., the fields/ placeholder columns which are based on the formula column are not displaying any values in the report.
Please, someone help us in this regard.
Thanks & Rgds,

Formula not working in report

In one of the report, there is a formula added as
v_Hide:= If [v_ResourceSum]=0 And v_CTier="Not Alighned" and IsNull([v_LatestAnalystCycle]) then "Hide" Else "".
Then this filter is added on the report to exclude when v_Hide="Hide"
This formula is not working.
Using BO 4.0

Hi Pritesh,
once the field V_HIDE got populated.
Modify the internal table with the field value.
You can use the below statement to filter the contents of the internal table.
Delete <internal_table> where v_hide IS NOT INITIAL.
Thanks,

Why does set font not work in report generation toolkit?

I would like to change font and underline when inserting text into a Microsoft Word document. I have tried using the
"Set Report Font" vi directly in front of an "Append Report Text" vi in my own application. The inserted text at the bookmark is always in the default text mode
of the document. Is this a bug?
I also tried the find and replace vi with the same result. Font will not change.
I also cannot find any examples of this usage that work. See example vi file below.
Save at C:\ or adjust the template location accordingly in the vi.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,
Chris

That's a cool tool Ben! However, with a bookmark, you know the location on a Word Template, and if you know the location in MS Word, you can then set the fonts you want in Word.
Do you know how to change the fonts in a string?
Example, How do you insert this block of text on a SINGLE MS Word bookmark?
PART NUMBER: 1234567890
DESCRIPTION: These lines are formated dynamically, some orders may have 1 PN, and other orders many have 500 PNs.
I'm formatting my line details and inserting them on a MS Word bookmark. After the initial bookmark I have no more control of the fonts for the entire string block. I'd like to dynamically change the fonts in a string and I'd like to use MS Word. I saw HTML report writing, but, in my particular application, HTML reports will not work.
Doug
I don't have the time to try anything but as a suggestion I would experiment with the range start end properties (e.g. from start =0 to end =
12 bold is true, from 13 to 23 bold is false, ....) You first insert text without formatting then you use the range start and end to format the text.
I'm not sure it will work but it's worth a try.
Ben64
note: I would create a 2D array of start and end index of your string and auto-index a for loop that contain the range property node.
