Oracle Reports: Print HTML tags

I am reading data from DB that contains HTML tags and would like the tags to be interpreted when the PDF report is displayed. Currently, the HTML tags are being displayed in the report.
When I output the report as a HTML is tags are interpreted and looks ok.
How do I convert the HTML tags in the report is displayed as PDF?
Thanks for your response.

Hi Ram,
You can create a postscript file or a PDF file and give that
to the print shop for printing. It's pretty easy. Go to the File
menu, choose Generate to File, and then choose Postscript or PDF.
Note that Reports will use the driver for the printer to which
you are connected at the time you generate the file. You may have
to do some tests to make sure that that printer driver is
compatible with that of the print shop. I would generate a test
file from Reports and see if it works with their printer.

SQL Query as Item Source/Oracle Reports w/ HTML DB?

I have successfully used a SQL Query as an item source in the past on several occasions. However, in this instance, every time I try to do this, I get the following error:
Error ERR-1019 Error computing item default value: page=3 name=P3_TEST_ITEM.
ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested ORA-02063: preceding line from [database_name]
If I use the exact same query in creating a report region, the page displays fine and the query returns the correct data. Why might this be happening, and what can I do to fix it?
Also - off the subject - is there a way to use HTML DB to deploy reports that are created in Oracle Reports Builder? I have created several employee productivity reports for supervisors and managers in HTML DB, which is great for allowing them to run them live and have fields as parameters for varying employees, date ranges, etc... but formatting them to be browser and printer friendly is an absolute nightmare so far. If I could create and format the reports in Reports Builder and then deploy them using HTML DB, while still being able to offer parameters to the user, that would be perfect. Is this possible?

Here is my query:
SELECT
TO_CHAR((sum(decode(ef.production_function,'Y',ef.function_minutes+ef.function_ot_minutes))/60)/8, '9999999.99')
FROM
RLAPPLSG.EMPLOYEE_INFO@REMOTE_SERVER EI,
RLAPPLSG.SC_EMP_FUNCTIONS@REMOTE_SERVER EF,
RLAPPLSG.SC_EMP@REMOTE_SERVER E
WHERE
( e.SC_EMP_NBR=ef.SC_EMP_NBR )
AND ( ei.EMP_ID=e.EMP_ID )
AND (
( trunc(( e.SC_DATE )) BETWEEN :P2_BEGIN_DATE AND :P2_END_DATE )
AND (ei.EMP_MGRS_ID = :P2_SUPERVISOR_ID
OR ei.EMP_ID = :P2_SUPERVISOR_ID)
Every table and/or view that is referenced here is done so remotely. The column datatype breakdown is as follows:
production_function - BOOLEAN
function_minutes - NUMBER
function_ot_minutes - NUMBER

When Exported in PDF reports displays HTML Tags

Hi All,
Business Object XI R2
WebI Report
I am Reporting on Oracle CLOBs. This CLOB contains Data with HTML Tags, Clearly this CLOB is the combination of DATA formatted in HTML tags.
When I create a WebI Reports on this (CLOB) WebI displays correctly in the sence data only.
When I export this report to PDF; The PDF display contains both data with HTML tags as well.
Is there any solution/workaround or any setting in the BO Server to overcome/solve this issue.
Appreciated you prompt help.
Thanks,
Ashok

Christine,
My question is wether Adobe support CLOBs or not.
I was reported on oracle CLOBs (This CLOBs contains data wrapped in HTML tags), by using Business Object Web Intelligence. This WebI displaying the reports as I desire, there is no problem, in WebI. WebI displaying data with no HTML Tags.
My problem is that when I export this WebI report, this Adobe is getting HTML tags, why? Since this WebI is not displaying the HTML tags, since adobe does not know wether there is a HTML tags or not.
Apprecited your prompt reply.
Thanks,
Ash

Oracle Reports Printing issue

I have multiple printing issues with Oracle Reports developed in 10g. Please help me to resolve the issue.
1. Even though i set ORIENTATION to landscape, it is printing Portrait .
I have tried the below options
1. I SET ORIENTATION AS landscape Under Data Model, System Parameters
2. I have tried to pass ORIENTATION=landscape from the Keymap File
3. I have tried to set ORIENTATION=landscape Under Paper layout Main,Header and Trailer Sections.
2. Always the report is trying to fit in a single page (Width wise) which is annoying the user. I want to set Scaling instead of fit to a single page. How will i achieve this?
i was trying to display the reports in SPREADSHEET Format.
Thanks for all your Help.

Oracle Reports printer setup

Hi Guys.
I am an Oracle Applications DBA and I know how to setup printing in Oracle Applications.
However, our client has got one installation of Oracle Application Server 10g and has deployed Oracle Forms and Reports Services.
They have configured printing for Oracle Reports for their setup, which I am not aware of how they did or how it is done in Oracle Forms and Reports.
The problems at hand are -
Problem number 1 - Over here a line printer i.e. 132 column one has been attached to the 10g Application Server from the USb port. The Application server is on Windows 2003 server machine. When we fire reports we can see in print queue request being fired but no putput is coming. If we open Reports builder on a developer machine and from there we fire we do get print out but this time developers machine Print dialoag comes. On developer machine we have mapped to same printer which is attached to the 10g AS machine
Problem number 2 - As mentioned earlier its a 132 column printer so what is the paper size to be picked. From articles it is Letter paper size or US Std Fanfold paper size.
Problem Number 3 - Suppose we try Arabic report since its arabic in the report designer we change direction to Right To Left, if we fire this report some columns almost 20 characters are cut -off. If we fire same report with default direction set in designer, whole data comes
Problem number 4 - If we give output to Excel or PDF i.e. Desformat Spreadsheet or PDF, the arabic data all come out rubbish junk.
Apart from getting help on the above mentioned issues, I would request you guys to help me in finding out how to setup the printing for standalone application server forms and reports.
Thanks,
Muneer.

Interactive Report with html tags --- Data saved in Excel with html tags

Hello,
I am using APEX 4.0. I have an interactive report that displays some of the columns bold and / or colors using html tags. As an example,
SELECT
''''' || SERIAL_NUMBER || '''' SERIAL_NUMBER,'||chr(10)||
'PRODUCT_NAME,'||chr(10)||
''''' || PRODUCT_DESC || '''' DESC,'||chr(10)||
'QUANTITY,'||chr(10)||
FROM
<Table name>
At runtime, the Interactive Report displays the fonts, colors correctly; however, when I save the data of the Interactive Report in an Excel format, it saves the Html tags along in the EXCEL spreadsheet. For example, the column serial number from the above SELECT statement is extracted in an Excel column as ---
123456789
Is there another way to render the column data so that extracted data will not display the HTML tags or is removing the html font color tags from the SELECT statement the only option?
Thanks in advance.

Oracle Reports -- printing 1/3 the way down the second page.

I modifying an Oracle Report that outputs a rtf-formmated word doc. When things go to the second page (because things on the first page have fully occupied the first page), they always appear 1/3 down the page. I would like them to be close to the top of the page as possible. Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas on how this should work?
thanks
Dan

     END;

i have made one oracle 6i reports. its is quite wide.when i run the report it shrink into too small font.
and i increse it font size it by pressing + button on menu bar it looks okay.
>
The + button only causes a zoom in on the screen. It is not affecting the actual layout.
>
but the problem is that when i take print out of it ,it's printout comes in its intial format(in small font) evenif i choose different type of paper size or different orientation . it's printout is coming in too small font.
pl tell me how to overcome this problem>
The report rendering engine tries to fit the report page into the physical page size. This results in shrinking of font size,etc.
To fix
a) reduce the content on the report to something reasonable for printing.(Std paper sizes and orientation)
b) change the page size selection. Of course, you will need a printer and paper of the size you set.
Cheers,

ACCENT Symbol in Oracle Reports printing using 10g Application server

Some of the report with names containing ACCENT symbol are printing like upside-down comma. But the report used to printing certified copy and the client requiring to print the ACCENT symbol as it is. Oracle support recommend us to use PDFPrint destination, which is third-party utility that converting the post-script output to printer for ACCENT symbol. Please provide the link and instruction to download the PDFprint utility and installation requirement for the below environment:
Oracle Application Server Version=10.1.2.3.0
SUN SPARC - 64 bit
Thanks
Krishna

By the looks of it you used 9i which also used an Application Server so your knowledge should be up to date. The Default URL has changed a little as has the port. Look in the installation guide for the default URL and port.
If you mena the development side you can use the one-button-run functionality which makes it possible to run am form without the full App Server just by hitting the run button in the builder. You do need to start the local OC4J but that is easy. On Windows there is a start menu item to do that. On Linux you run a shell script I think.

Oracle Report Printing

Hi, there,
I'm having a problem printing Reports:
Click print button on previewer, get error "Oracle Printing/Can't open AFM file(s): myungjo."
Click OK on error popup and report gets printed.
How do I get rid off that error message?
Thanks!
WL

I guess you are running on Unix? AFM files are font metric files. The files are found in $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon2/tk21/admin/AFM.
Check out note 1015280.6 on Metalink.

Pass parameter value from oracle reports to HTML

Hi,
Can anybody tell me if i can pass oracle reports6i parameter value to HTML.
Any ideas/suggestions would be helpful
Thanks
KAvitha

Kavitha,
I didnt quite understand your question. Do you mean you want to use the report parameter form and pass the values entered there to an html form where you will display the output based on the parameters entered by the user ?
If so, No. Not to the best of my knowledge. You can pass parameters from an html form to reports though, if this is what you are looking for.

Financial statement generator & Oracle Reports Manager

We are moving into Oracle Apps R12.1.3 on Solaris. Most end user machines are Windows 7 & going to be Windows 8. Some are Windows XP. Majority have Microsoft 2007 and some have Microsoft 2010.
Financial Statement Generator (FSG) reports are called from GL Super user as well as Oracle Reports Manager. Attempt being made to open FSG reports directly in Oracle Reports Manager > Excel with drill down.
Experiencing errors (of VB) , after some patching seeing Blank Excelsheet. Though same FSG report can be open with Values in Oracle Reports Manager > html and pdf.
Any body experienced this in recent past.
Rgds

Hi Hein,
Thanks for the reply and I do have access but apart from standard/customized reports, sometimes users create their own reports using FSGs where they pull GL data (No sub-ledgers) by defining rows and columns and many more features.
For eg: pulling up trial balance report by cost centers
Is there any equivalent of these Financial Statement Generators in SAP.
I was thinking about defining the "Variants" in each report and run variants but then thats not limited to GL, I guess
Thanks in advance....

Help! oracle report out of order after update Rollup for windows 2000 sp4

hello once again
i haven't received any solution of my problem, so i am again uploading it.
----PROBLEM IS GIVEN BELOW-----
i am having a problem in oracle report printing (2000,6i). I have installed patch "update Rollup for windows 2000 sp4" on windows 2000. now when i send report(132 column) for printing to the printer, the report fails to expand to 132 columns and data is printed in unformatted fashion. in order to print the report correctly i have to remove the patch from the windows.i have set all parameters and
defining page size in files like wide180.PRT in printers folder in oracle directory.
Is there anyway to print the report without uninstalling windows patch?
thanks

I don't have any idea about this issue. Maybe someone else on this forum can help. Meanwhile, there are couple of places you can search for this issue:
Search google for printing issues with this patch
Search Microsoft forums for Windows 2000
And if you have metalink account, search metalink forum, document/note or open a SR for this.
