Oracle 6i Report Output Japanese Characters to XML on UNIX?

I have a 6i report which reads text from the database and outputs everything to XML. There is now a requirement for it to handle Japanese characters.
I was able to do this successfully in Windows by changing my NLS_LANG to UTF8 and changing the field font to a Unicode font. I then ran the report, and the XML that was output contains the correct Japanese characters from the underlying database query.
When I port the report to UNIX, the report runs, but the Japanese characters all show up as upside-down question marks in the XML. If I open the report in Reports Builder from the server, I do not see any Unicode fonts, but it changed my selected font to "clear".
Can anyone suggest the fix to get this working in UNIX? Does a new font need to be installed on the server to support this?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

we used UTF8 which worked fine with that.

Oracle Matrix Report output to XML Publisher

We have an Oracle matrix report (rdf) registered in our applications and we are trying to format the report output using XML publisher.
I have taken XML output of the report by changing the Report output to XML in concurrent program definition. Using this XML output we have started designing the RTF template using Template Builder for Word 5.6.2.
I am not able to get the MAtrix output in XML publisher. I am not sure how to design a Matrix Report using Template builder for word. I am not sure whether the XML output of Original Report has Tags mentioning Matrix report attributes or Not.
Can anyone help me by explaining how to design a Matrix Report template using XML report output. Appreicate your help.

I have posted a Blog on our blog site about how to create a matrix report in XML-Publisher

Show Oracle APPS Report Output Automatically in IE

Normally in Oracle EBS (View>Requests>Submit New Request) we submit the request to run any report and after normal completion of the report, we press the button View Output and system show the Output in IE, output may be in PDF or Text. In my case requirement is not from front end so i create one trigger (AFTER INSERT ON MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS)and through "FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST" submit the report request to the concurrent manager successfully and completed. Here I want to show the report output automatically show in the IE instead of open the request and click on the View Output button.

Why you have defined trigger that we can't understood.
Can you explain more in detail or code you have written ?
The Logs and Output are located in $APPLCSF/$APPLLOG and $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT respectively,
The output file is generated with o<request_id>.out in $APPLCSF/$APPLOUT directory.

Rename oracle EBS report output file

Hi,
I want to ask something about rename oracle EBS report. Is it possible to rename it from pl/sql statement?
example : o1234.out -> to oXXGL.out
Thanks

Not sure if this is what you want but you can set the umask property in the shell that the reports server is running in. This should set the appropriate permissions for all files created by the Reports Server process.

Oracle BAM report output

Is there any way the BAM report data to output to Xcel or PDF format?
It appears that the default reports(graphs) created from BAM ACTIVE STUDIO only allow to:
- print
- Return to Home
- Return to previous page
when zoomed in (drilled down) to data sheet.
Is it possible to copy the datasheet to Excel or PDF, etc?
TIA
pak
Edited by: user1314665 on 4/02/2009 19:31

Technically no. I did find a work around that seems to be working for us. I created an excell report in BAM that looks at the dataobjects with the same filters/parameters of the report I want to export from. I then created an action button that linked to that report on the main report and called it "Export Data" and mapped the filters. When the user clicks on the button it seems like it is exporting the data from the graph they are looking at, but it is actually just opening a new report with the same filters. You can save the excel file to your desktop.
Note that there are bugs with excel, at least in 10.1.3.3 that causes it to freeze-up sometimes if you have any other excel windows open on your pc.

Creating a PDF from a SAAS app creates boxes instead of Japanese characters

I'm using an online app (Unleashed Software) to "print" invoices, and the printed invoices show boxes instead of Japanese characters. The really weird thing about this problem, is that it occurs only on certain devices. I've tested on Macs, Windows, Android, and iOS, and on some devices I get the problem, and on some devices I don't. It's not just a Windows problem, or a iOS problem. Additionally, I use different browsers, from Chrome, to IE, to Firefox, to Safari. Changing the browser doesn't seem to help when it's on a device that won't output Japanese characters in a PDF properly.
I'm wondering how PDFs are generated when using online software. Since I can't reproduce the problem on certain devices, it seems to me that the software is using some local settings to render the PDF incorrectly.
Any ideas of how I could go about troubleshooting this problem?

Hi,
Could you please answer the following questions
1.What version of Crystal Reports are you using?
Go to Help-> About to find out.
2.What is the font you are using on the report?
Try to change the font style to MS Gothic or Arial Unicode MS, most preferably MS Gothic.
And export the report to PDF format.
This may help you
Thanks,

Oracle Report Server Issue with Japanese Characters

We are trying to setup a Oracle Report Server to print the Japanese characters in the PDF format.
We have separate Oracle Report servers for printing English, Chinese and Vietnamese characters in PDF formats using Oracle Reports in the production which are running properly with Unix AIX version 5.3. Now we have a requirement to print the Japanese characters. Hence we tried to setup the new server for the same and the configurations are done as same as Chinese/Vietnamese report servers. But we are not able to print the Japanese characters.
I am providing the details which we followed to configure this new server.
1.     We have modified the reports.sh to map the proper NLS_LANG (JAPANESE_AMERICA.UTF8) and other Admin folder settings.
2.     We have configured the new report server via OPMN admin.
3.     We have copied the arialuni.ttf to Printers folder and we have converted this same .ttf file in AFM format. This AFM file has been copied to $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/gk/JP_Admin/AFM folder.
4.     We have modified the uifont.ali (JP_admin folder) file for font subsetting.
5.     We have put an entry in JP_admin/PPD/datap462.ppd as *Font ArialUnicodeMS: Standard "(Version 1.01)" Standard ROM
6.     We have modified the Tk2Motif.rgb (JP_admin folder) file for character set mapping (Tk2Motif*fontMapCs: iso8859-1=UTF8) as we have enabled this one for other report servers as well.
Environment Details:-
Unix AIX version : 5300-07-05-0831
Oracle Version : 10.1.0.4.2
NLS_LANG : JAPANESE_AMERICA.UTF8
Font Mapping : Font Sub Setting in uifont.ali
Font Used for Printing : arialuni.ttf (Font Name : Arial Unicode MS)
The error thrown in the rwEng trace (rwEng-0.trc) file is as below
[2011/9/7 8:11:4:488] Error 50103 (C Engine): 20:11:04 ERR REP-3000: Internal error starting Oracle Toolkit.
The error thrown when trying to execute the reports is…
REP-0177: Error while running in remote server
Engine rwEng-0 crashed, job Id: 67
Our investigations and findings…
1.     We disabled the entry Tk2Motif*fontMapCs: iso8859-1=UTF8 in Tk2Motif.rgb then started the server. We found that no error is thrown in the rwEng trace file and we are able to print the report also in PDF format… (Please see the attached japarial.pdf for your verification) but we are able to see only junk characters. We verified the document settings in the PDF file for ensuring the font sub set. We are able to see the font sub setting is used.
2.     If we enable the above entry then the rwEng trace throwing the above error (oracle toolkit error) and reports engine is crashed.
It will be a great help from you if you can assist us to resolve this issue…

Maybe 7zip or another tool has workarounds for broken file names, you could try that.
Or you could try to go over the files in the zip archive one-by-one and write it to files out-1, out-2, ..., out-$n without concerning yourself with the file names. You could get file endings back via the mimetype.
This script might work:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <zip.h>
static const char *template = "./out-%04d.bin";
int main(int argc, char**argv)
int err = 0;
zip_t *arc = zip_open((const char*)argv[1], ZIP_RDONLY, &err);
if(arc == NULL)
printf("Failed to open ZIP, error %d\n", err);
return -1;
zip_int64_t n = zip_get_num_entries(arc, 0);
printf("%s: # of packed files: %d\n", argv[1], n);
for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
zip_stat_t stat;
zip_stat_index(arc, i, ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED, &stat);
char buf[stat.size];
char oname[sizeof(template)];
zip_file_t *f = zip_fopen_index(arc, (zip_int64_t)i, ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED);
zip_fread(f, (void*)&buf[0], stat.size);
snprintf(&oname[0], sizeof(template), template, i);
FILE *of = fopen(oname, "wb");
fwrite(&buf[0], stat.size, 1, of);
printf("%s: %s => %lu bytes\n", argv[1], oname, stat.size);
zip_fclose(f);
fclose(of);
zip_close(arc);
return 0;
Compile with
gcc -std=gnu99 -O3 -o unzip unzip.c -lzip
and run as
./unzip $funnyzipfile
You should get template-named, numbered output files in the current directory.

Oracle Apps.XML reports ending with warning when the report output contains

Hi I have XML reports. When we run these reports as concurrent program through Oracle Apps. window and if the report output contains special characters(like Chineese data) in between of English, then the concurrent program is ending with warning. If we remove special characters then it is working fine or when we run the report query directly from backend it is working fine.
We are importing this data from legacy system into oracle apps. and we can't control these characters or decode them with some other charactes.
Can any one guide me how to get the XML report output with special characters.
Thanks in advance.
Chandra Babu Lankipalli.

Hi Hussein,
The concurrent program is ending with Warning. It is unable to publish output file.
For the same when we remove special characters and run the program it is completing and generating the
output. The log fine is as follows when the data file contains special characters.

Oracle Discoverer Desktop Report output showing unicode characters

Hi,
Oracle Discoverer Desktop 4i version Report output showing the below unicode characters.
kara¿ah L¿MAK HOLD¿NG A.¿
We ran the same query in sql at that time the data showing correctly.
Please let me know, is there any language settings/ NLS settings are need to set
Thanks in Advance.

Hi
Let me give you some background. In the Windows registy, every Oracle Home has a setting called NLS_LANG. This is the variable that controls, among other things, the numeric characters and the language used. The variable is made up of 3 parts. These are:
language_territory.characterset
Notice how there is an underscore character between the first two variables and a period between the last two. This is very important and must not be changed.
So, for example, most American settings look like this: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
The second variable, the territory, controls the default date, monetary, and numeric formats and must correspond to the name of a country. So if I wanted to use the Greek settings for numeric formatting, editing the NLS_LANG for Discoverer Desktop to this setting will do the trick:
AMERICAN_GREECE.WE8MSWIN1252
Can you please check your settings? Here's a workflow:
a) Open up your registry by running Regedit
b) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
c) Look for the Oracle Home corresponding to where Discoverer Desktop is installed. It's probably called KEY_BIToolsHome_1
d) Clicking on the Oracle Home will display all of the variables
e) Take a look at the variable called NLS_LANG - if it is correct Exit the registry
f) If its not correct please right-click on it and from the pop-up select Modify
f) Change the variable to the right setting
g) Click the OK button to save your change
h) Exit the registry
Best wishes

Showing Japanese characters from Report Builder

Hi , We've some problem showing the Japanese characters using Oracle Report builder 6i (6.0.8.17.0).
Our database version is Oracle9i-9.0.1.4.0 and
we'r using the DB character set as US7ASCII and National charecter set as UTF8 (Tried with AL16UTF16 but it's supported as per Oracle-metalink). We'r using Solaris 9 (OS 5.9) to invoke the Report Builder.
Japanese characters are able to insert and select from SQL prompt using Japanese Terminal..
But from the Report builder when we run the Report, we'r seeing some junk characters. Please help if anybody has worked on showing the Japanese characters from Report builder.
Thanks

How do i save FSG xml report output to External Drive.

We are implementing XML publisher to replace our ADI. How i save xml publisher report output to network drive also need to change report name dynamically.
The answer from oracle is
:There is no built-in functionality to do what is requested however,
the output file exists at the O/S level and a printer DRIVER can be created and in the "Arguments" field, a copy command can be entered instead of the print command"
how do i implement this. help please
Thx

Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Do you want to merge these libraries into one? If so, then you'll need the paid version ($20) of iPhoto Library Manager
It's the only way to merge Libraries while preserving all metadata, versions and so on.
Otherwise, simply rename one of the Libraries (so they don't overwite each other) and Copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder to the External Disk. in each case.
To choose which library to open: holf down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location.
