Hello,
The easiest way to develop is to use the Report Builder Wizzard.Other example can be found in this note:
How to Generate Excel output in browser using Reports9i JSP (Doc ID 240819.1)
You can also search on google.
For deployment check:
How To Deploy And Run Oracle Reports JSP In 10G R2 AS? (Doc ID 334447.1)
and if on 11g:

11g Reports Development Environment, Run Web Layout Error

Hi,
I'm using
Operation System: Windows 7 32 bit
Jdk: jdk1.7.0_07
Weblogic Server: 10.3.6
Forms and Reports: 11.1.2 Development Environment.
When I'm trying to run report in web layout, it gives error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
Javax/servlet/jsp/tagext/TagLibraryInfo
Kindly help me to resolve this error
Thanks

Hello,
First, JDK 1.7 is not certified with Forms 11gR2. Only JDK 1.6 familly is certified and supported.
It seems to be an environment/installation issue as this installation works fine.
- Are you installing as Admin user and running Builder as the with the same OS user?
- Let me know the WLS 10.3.6 complete zip file name you installed and the command you used to install it. Also the 11.1.2 file names for review
As a workaround:
You can open rwrun.jar in Jdeveloper and check the classpath in the manifest.
I remembered i had an issue on this(11.1.1.3 version) when rwrun.jar called a jar file javax.jsp_1.1.0.0_2-1.jar that did not exist in the installaton(There was a newer version like javax.jsp_1.2.0.0_2-1.jar in the installation).
Normally should not be happening in 11gR2, but give it a try.

Alex

Oracle report 10g publsinng on web and Oracle Portal

I am converting a report that was using oracle OAS9i, we pass to URL(rdf file) userid/password and worked fine. We were not using Portal, even though it is installed by OAS. Now seems we have to use Oracle Portal to publish the same report. Is that right? If not how will I use report servlet to call a rdf file I assume I still need to send oracle user id/password as that is needed to run report(knowing this from old Oracle report 6.0). We really do not want to autheticate any user all users behind use the same Oracle account to print reports. Any hint?
Another thing I find that now reports are closely linked to Portal and looking at web publishing document it seems one needs to view them thru Portal. Please help me understand this why I can not just see the report as once they are processed they produce pdf that any borwser can show.

Any one??

Oracle reports 6i and the web

I have installed the d2k 6.i pack on my NT desktop and am pointing to a 8.1.5 database on another machine. All I have is the Webdb listener up and running. No other Webserver as I was told this was all I needed to run reports on my desktop on the Web.
The report runs fine on my desktop but when I try to run this report on the Web I get: Page not found
This is the url:
http://granite.isearch.com/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=Rep60_GRANITE&report=C:\orant\bin\ats0107.rdf&userid=pr_hollydev/orahollydev@r81&destype=cache&desformat=HTML
My report server is up. My webdb listener is up. I do not have a web server installed besides what came with D2k.
I did copy the rwcgi60.exe to the OWS/4.0/bin directory
tnsnames entry:
REP60_GRANITE.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = isearch.world)(PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = granite)(Port = 1949))
sqlnet.ora
# Filename......: sqlnet.ora
# Name..........: isearch.world
# Date..........: 26-FEB-99 10:58:23
AUTOMATIC_IPC = ON
TRACE_LEVEL_CLIENT = OFF
SQLNET.EXPIRE_TIME = 0
NAMES.DEFAULT_DOMAIN = world
NAME.DEFAULT_ZONE = world
SQLNET.CRYPTO_SEED = "18110733421811237124"
NAMES.DIRECTORY_PATH = (TNSNAMES,ONAMES)
DAEMON.TRACE_LEVEL = OFF
DAEMON.TRACE_MASK = (106)
authentication_services = (NONE)
My NT Reg key for REP60
REPORT60_VIRTUAL_MAP = '/cache/'
REPORTS60_PHYSICAL_MAP = 'c:\orant\REPORT60\server\cache"
REPORT60_SHARED_CACHE = "YES"
REPORTS60_REPORTS_SERVER = "REP60_GRANITE"
REPORTS60_PATH = C:\orant\REPORTS60;C:\orant\bin;C:\WEB_REPORTS
I tried the browser test using this and got page not found.
http://rep60_granite/ows-bin/rwcgi60.exe?
Do I need to install a web server?
Thanks

1. Yes you need a web server
2. the env. vars:
REPORT60_VIRTUAL_MAP,
REPORTS60_PHYSICAL_MAP, and
REPORT60_SHARED_CACHE
are no longer needed.
3. The 'community' part of the Reports sever entry in your tnsnames.ora isn't required.

How to call the JSP(Web layout) instead of paper layout...

Hi,
Iam using Reports 10g. I have created a simple employees report. I have added a listbox in the jsp page by adding small Html and javascript code like below.
<form action="http://www.wwt.com/reports/rwservlet?10000_reports_listing&p_extranet=p_extranet" name="First" method="post">
<select name="p_extranet" onChange="First.submit()" >
<rw:foreach id="RGSOURCE" src="G_SOURCE">
<rw:getValue id="mysource" src="SOURCE"/>
<option value=""><%= mysource %>
</rw:foreach>
</select>
</form>
When I run this report in the report builder as Web layout, Listbox is displayed with values inside.
But when I move it to Apps server and run it through URL,
listbox is disappeared. I think report is running the Paper layout instead of weblayout ??????????
Could you please tell me what is the problem and How to force the Weblayout or JSP to run ?
Thanks.

Hi,
You are running a jsp report through rwservlet. In this case paper layout will be displayed. You have to deploy your jsp as web report to get the web layout. Please refer to the doc below, which describes how to deploy the web report.
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/html/B10314_01/pbr_run.htm#1011901
To run the jsp report, URL may look like
http://www.wwt.com/reports/<jsp name>?<parameter list>
Hope this helps

Paper layout & web layout

This might be a novice questin but still..
With 9i reports, we are only going to deploy our reports to the web, and there are going to be no client server reports..
In that context, the only layout we are going to be worried about is the web layout, I dont understant why there are two kinds of layouts i.e. PAPER LAYOUT AND WEB LAYOUT
what is the difference between the two, when should we use the paper and web layout.

Hi,
There are 2 things here: the Q about deploying reports to the web, and the Q about paper and web layout. Let me explain each one.
Q about paper and web layouts
Paper layout is the layout you need to create "printable" reports. This layout is the same that you saw in 6i - with frames, repeating frames, fields, boilerplate objects and so on. This layout has the concept of a "page-wise" report. Once you create this layout (paper layout), you can get your report output in various formats, eg, PDF, RTF, HTML, HTMLCSS etc.
On the other hand, web layout means that in place of (or in addition to) the paper layout, you get the report designed in JSP code. So all the frames, repeating frames etc will be expressed in JSP code using the Oracle Reports custom tags. Since it is code-based, you can insert your HTML or Java code in here to customize the output. You can in fact start with the HTML template, open it in reports builder, and start inserting the data using Reports custom JSP tags. In web layout, there are no "page breaks". So your report will be a JSP file, and can be deployed along with your J2EE application.
Now the Q about deploying to the web.
BOTH paper and web layouts are compatible with the web architecture. You will call a paper report from your browser with a command like:
http://my_machine_name:port_number/reports/rwservlet?report=...server=...userid=...destype=...desformat=...
And for accessing the web layout, you will deploy the JSP on a J2EE containser (like OC4J), and access it like:
http://my_machine_name:port_number/application_context_root/My_jsp_report.JSP?server=...userid=...
There is no destype, desformat or desname (because the output is only displayed on your browser).
So using 9i Reports builder, if you want to save the report's paper layout ONLY, you save it as an RDF file. In case you want to store ONLY web or BOTH paper and web layouts, you save the report definition as JSP.

Pls help me to track post print event in reports 10g (web layout)

I am displaying a report on the web using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT built in after calling it from Forms. I want to update some attribute in the database after the report is printed. Where can i place the update statement.
note:I dont need solution for the reports printed using paper layout.
Thanks in advance.

Mr. Marcos, The problem is After-Report trigger will fire when the report is printed in paper layout. when the same report is printed in web layout the After-Report is not firing. It seem that the update code should be included in the Web-Source tab in Object Navigator but I don't know how to script it.

Supporting drilldowns in BIP reports defined in Web Layout Template Editor

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to show a table in a BIP Report defined in a web layout template editor and within this report, if there is drilldown on one of the columns, we would want to display more details in an additional column to be displayed afresh. Also, we have a requirement to display the same whenever there is a selection from a report prompt. In addition, is such a drill down feasible from within a graph? Is this achievable? We know this is feasible in OBIEE - not sure about BIP. Any pointers in this direction is appreciated!
Regards

Hi Sripathy, I can't thank you enough for the help !!! We looked for all kinds of documentation and was never able to find exact information.
Also, do you mind if we email you if we run into more problems ? We are new to this. If you think it's ok, my email is [email protected] If not, thanks again, at least this will get me started.

How to display clob/blob in the web layout using Reports9i

Hi,
I've created a report that selects both a clob and blob datatype in the query. However, when I run the report using the 'Run Web Layout' tool no data is displayed for these columns. Does the <rw:field> tag support such datatypes ?.
Regards,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Reports9i supports both BLOB and CLOB in both paper as well as web layout. Pl make sure that in the column properties that you want to display, you have selected the "File Format" correctly (to do this, go to data model > column > property inspector > file format). Eg, you can select "text", "image" etc depending on what you have stored in the column. Also, when you want to display an image in the web layout, you will have to write containsHtml="yes" inside your <re:field> tag.

Calling a Web Service in Oracle Report Developer 10g?

Hello,
Does Oracle Report Developer 10g supports Web Services (calls) or XML files as a Data Source?
If yes. From what version?
Thanks.

ok, so you have at least 2 solutions:
1. you get the data into a loop through your Java array.
2. you use the EXEC_SQL package function to create a dynamic SQL cursor
Select ... from the_table where code in ('c1', ..., 'cn')Francois

Oracle Report vs JSP efficiency and Excel XML in Web Source Questions

I have used Oracle Reports in the past 6i, but haven't used them in about 4 years. We are now using 9.0.4 reports and I am trying to generate Excel XML from an Oracle report by manipulating the web source of the report. Basically copying and pasting the Excel XML into the web source of the Oracle Report instead of html as suggested by this Metalink Doc ID 240819.1. I do have a JSP working example that generates Excel XML created in JDeveloper and successfully spawns off a very nice looking Excel spreadsheet.
However, a statement was made here by our app sever guy that an Oracle Report is more efficient at getting data from the database than a JSP. The app sever section does not want anyone using JSPs to generate a report of any kind. I guess small web pages are OK since our java guys use them all the time. This rule for a Reports only environment seems a little restrictive to me. Is there any truth to the statement that Oracle Reports bulk collects data in one chunk as opposed to a JSP making multiple trips to the database from the middle tier?
Secondly, if an Oracle Report is more efficient in the way that it collects large record sets from the db, and if I save an Oracle Report as a JSP not an rdf, and use the reports_tld.jar with the rw tags instead of the typical jsp jstl tags, will I still get the same improvement from using an Oracle report? I guess the improvement is in the library used correct?
Thirdly, although not part of this forum, I also am assuming that if we have single sign on that when I call a JSP from an Oracle Form I will not have to log in again correct?
Thanks...

It could be the configuration issue. Reconfigure the engine.

hello,
to use reports in a browser environment, there is a component called reports server. it is part of 9i Application server. it basically enables you to run report requests from a web-browser and -besides printing and creating a file- retrieving the output in the browser window.
