Reports 6i and Oracle 8.1.6

I installed just the oracle report server 6i on a box that had
the oracle 8.1.6 client installed. The report server came pon
line, but after install the Oracle ODBC driver "disappeared"
from the ODBC driver list in the ODBC manager and the Microsoft
driver broke. I reinstalled the latest 8.1.6 ODBC driver from
the Oracle site and now the drivers work but Report server is
failing with an 186 error. I haven't modified the TNSnames.ora
file and all of the entries (including the reports entry) are in
there. Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on?

Insure you have placed a block with items on the form to be displayed.

How to add a new font into Report Builder and Oracle Forms/Reports Server?

Hi,
I've searched the forum and can't find this being discussed.
My developers run Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on their XP laptops.
Their reports run (in production) on Oracle Forms/Reports Server 10.1.2.0.2.
This server runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
They've got a client who wants reports using the "Garamond Western" font.
So....how do I get this font onto the developer's Report Builder laptops, and onto the Oracle Forms/Reports Server?
I've moved various 'Garamond' fonts into C:\WINDOWS\FONTS on both the laptops and the server, but neither seem to recognize it.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks.
This answers 1/2 of my question.
The developer can now use Report Builder on his laptop, with the new fonts.
But when he moves this new Report to the Oracle Application Server/Forms-Reports Server, it fails to use the new fonts.
The Oracle App Server/Forms-Report Server is Version 10.1.2.0.2. It runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
I have installed the exact same fonts on this server, into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
I have used REGEDIT to change REPORTS_PATH....and placed C:\WINDOWS\Fonts; as the first value in this field.
I have then stopped and restarted the Forms-Reports Server.

Calling a Crystal Report from and Oracle Form6i

I am attempting to call a crystal report from within an oracl form. I would appreciate documentation/suggestions on how to accomplish this task.
Thanks
NBranson

HI Nicole,
I have used crystal reports from oracle forms in one of my project. Send a mail to this address, i ll reply you back with the source code. My email address is [email protected] .
But if you just want to know the steps here it is :
STEPS TO display the Crystal Report in Oracle Forms :
1. Create a new form.
2. Create a control block, name it 'CONTROL'.
3. Create a CONTENT canvas, name it 'REPCAN'.
4. Create an ActiveX control on the canvas, name it 'CrystalReport1'.
5. Create a Image item , name it 'REP'. Make sure that image item overlaps the ActiveX control completely, this image item is used to get the item handle. Enlarge this object such a way that it will fit the window, the report gets displayed in this item so the item size should be adeqately large.
6. Right click on the ActiveX control item, select Insert Object from the menu.
7. From the list select Crystal Reprot Control.
8. Select the Progrm=> Import OLE Library Interface Menu in the form.
9. Select Crystal.CrystalReport from the List, this will list two methods and one Event . The two methods are CrystalCtrl and IRowCursor, the event is CrystalReprotEvent.
10. Select all the three and click on the OK button to accept. This will create the program units.
11. In the When-New-Form-Instance trigger of the form write the following code.
Declare
     charWinHandle varchar2(50);
     numWinHandle Number;
Begin
     Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'BUSY');
     charWinHandle := Get_Item_Property('Control.Rep',Window_Handle);
     numWinHandle := To_Number(charWinHandle);
     :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.CrystalReport.WindowParentHandle := numWinHandle;
     :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.CrystalReport.WindowState := 2;
     :item('CONTROL.CRYSTALREPORT1').OCX.Crystal.CrystalReport.Connect := 'DSN=;UID='||Get_Application_Property(UserName)||';pwd='||Get_Application_Property(password)||';dsq=;';
     Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName (:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface,'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt');
     Set_Window_Property(Forms_Mdi_Window,Window_State,Maximize);
     Set_Window_Property('MAIN',Window_State,Maximize);
     :reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
     numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport(:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface);
     Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'DEFAULT');
End;
One thing to mark here is the, change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName (:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface,'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt');
12. If you want to run multiple reports then create a parameter and pass the file name to the form through the parameter. In the above line of code, you can replace the file name with parameter, so each time the form is called with different parameter with the file name , it displays different reports.
13 Run the Form.

Trouble with MSSQL Reporting Services and Oracle: PLS-00553: character set

First off, Oracle version is 8.1.7.4.0. SQL is 64bit 2005 on Windows 2003 with all the latest patches. We’re using the Oracle 10.2 client on the SQL box.
A few months ago queries against Oracle stopped working on our MSSQL reporting services server - after a service pack on this same system.
I ended up having to grant permissions on Oracle directories to eliminate the first error and then renamed the NLS_LANG registry entry (effectively deleting it) to get rid of the second error.
The second error was: ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified. I don’t have docs on the first error, but it was a reference to a file access problem. Looking at this error again makes me think that I still have some file access problems.
The old value for the NLS_LANG registry key was: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
Everything has been working fine since then.
Now we are moving some new reports into production which use Oracle stored procedures and they are getting this error:
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
w3wp!processing!8!7/27/2009-09:26:09:: e ERROR: An exception has occurred in data source 'CSUD3_RPTAPL'. Details: Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: Query execution failed for data set 'MYDATASET'. ---> System.Data.OracleClient.OracleException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 57:
PLS-00553: character set name is not recognized
ORA-06550: line 0, column 0:
PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated
I've created a test package as below, which has also gotten the same error.
create or replace
PACKAGE BODY SQLTEST AS
PROCEDURE OPEN_CURSOR (ResultCursor OUT T_CURSOR,
SQLTESTIN IN VARCHAR
AS
l_query varchar2(3000);
BEGIN
l_query := 'Hi there';
open ResultCursor for select l_query "field1" from dual;
END OPEN_CURSOR;
END SQLTEST;
I tried setting the NLS_Lang value back to its old value, but it did not fix this problem – and made all the regular oracle queries break again.
From what I've read, the client should be using the database default if the charset is not specified on the client.
Can anyone advise on what the problem might be?
Thanks!
Sam Greene

With all due respects I can not think of a worse reporting tool than MS Reporting Services.
Give serious consideration to getting a real report writing tool from Oracle or SAP (Business Objects / Crystal).
Reporting Services is one nightmare after another.

Reports 6I and Oracle 8i(8.1.6.0) for solaris

I have downloaded Reports 6i for solaris.
When I install it a ( Curses ) based GUI.
Comes on . After installing it. Oracle
stops working ? whats wrong ? it installs
its own NET8 driver which I believe is
causing the problem.
null

The Net8 Configuration Assistant allows you to add databases into a file called tnsnames.ora. Do not manually edit this file or you will not be able to une Net8 Configuration Assistant unless you delete tnsnames.ora.
it asks me if i want to use a directory service?? please advise me what this is for and should i use it
saying no is ok.
if i say no it then asks me to pick 81, or 8 i picked 8i
8i is the correct answer here
then it asks me to enter the service name?? i dont have a clue what it means
the service name (also know as SID in 8.0) is the name of your database.
then select protocol for database you want to access?? again i have no idea
The common protocol for Oracle is TCP/IP
then a host name??
the host name (is the name of your computer or another computer you want to connect to with an Oracle database running on it).
1. To find the name of your computer, click START>SETTINGS>CONTROL PANEL
2. Open the Network Icon
3. Select the Identification tab
4. The name of your computer is listed
Good Luck,
Michael

Performance Issue Crystal Report and Oracle

Hello,
We have one procedure that takes 3 input parameters and returns Cursor from Procedure that is used to design the report. There is no caluculation involved here and cursor is opended dynamically. We are using Oracle Native connection.
When we click on preview button it takes lots of time ( >10 Mins) to show complete data. While we call the same procedure in application and generate HTML report using Cursor returned it is done in < 15 Seconds. Can some point me where to look into to improve the performance of Crystal Report.
DB: Oracle 10G
CR: Version XI

Hi Vadiraja
The performance of a report is related to:
External factors:
1. The amount of time the database server takes to process the SQL query.
( Crystal Reports send the SQL query to the database, the database process it, and returns the data set to Crystal Reports. )
2. Network traffics.
3. Local computer processor speed.
( When Crystal Reports receives the data set, it generates a temp file to further filter the data when necessary, as well as to group, sort, process formulas, ... )
4. The number of record returned
( If a sql query returns a large number of records, it will take longer to format and display than if was returning a smaller data set.)
Report design:
1. Where is the Record Selection evaluated.
Ensure your Record Selection Formula can be translated in SQL, so the data can be filter down on the server, otherwise the filtering will be done in a temp file on the local machine which will be much slower.
They have many functions that cannot be translated in SQL because they may not have a standard SQL for it.
For example, control structure like IF THEN ELSE cannot be translated into SQL. It will always be evaluated in Crystal Reports. But if you use an IF THEN ELSE on a parameter, it will convert the result of the condition to SQL, but as soon as uses database fileds in the conditions it will not be translated in SQL.
2. How many subreports the report contains and in section section they are located.
Minimise the number of subreports used, or avoid using subreports if possible because
subreports are reports within a report, and if you have a subreport in a details section, and the report returns 100 records, the subreport will be evaluated 100 times, so it will query the database 100 times. It is often the biggest factor why a report takes a long time to preview.
3. How many records will be returned to the report.
Large number of records will slow down the preview of the reports.
Ensure you only returns the necessary data on the report, by creating a Record Selection Formula, or basing your report off a Stored Procedure, or a Command Object that only returns the desired data set.
4. Do you use the special field "Page N of M", or "TotalPageCount"
When the special field "Page N of M" or "TotalPageCount" is used on a report, it will have to generate each page of the report before it displays the first page, therfore it will take more time to display the first page of the report.
If you want to improve the speed of a report, remove the special field "Page N of M" or "Total Page Count" or formula that uses the function "TotalPageCount". If those aren't use when you view a report it only format the page requested.
It won't format the whole report.
5. Link tables on indexed fields whenever possible.
6. Remove unused tables, unused formulas, unused running totals from the report.
7. Suppress unnecessary sections.
8. For summaries, use conditional formulas instead of running totals when possible.
9. Whenever possible, limit records through selection, not suppression.
10. Use SQL expressions to convert fields to be used in record selection instead of using formula functions.
For example, if you need to concatenate 2 fields together, instead of doing it in a formula, you can create a SQL Expression Field. It will concatenate the fields on the database server, instead of doing in Crystal Reports. SQL Expression Fields are added to the SELECT clause of the SQL Query send to the database.
11. Using one command as the datasource can be faster if you returns only the desired data set.
It can be faster if the SQL query written only return the desired data.
12. Perform grouping on server
This is only relevant if you only need to return the summary to your report but not the details. It will be faster as less data will be returned to the reports.

Reports Requirements using R12 and Oracle 10g Reports

Hi All,
Looking forward to some valuable inputs to propose a technical solution in R12 using 10g Reports Developer.
Requirements are :
1. Report output should be in Excel Format. ( Is this possible without XML Publisher using 10g Reports only )
2. Report Parameters to have multi selection criteria. ( Is this possible in 10g Reports and Oracle Apps, Report Manager responsibility ?)
Regards,
Anand

>
1. Report output should be in Excel Format. ( Is this possible without XML Publisher using 10g Reports only )
>
Yes, Reports can create output in Excel - but XML Publisher offers better and easier options.

Help with Oracle Report Builder and SQL Server2000

Hey guys,
I just installed it Oracle Developer Suite10g with Report Builder and I am trying to use Report builder and wants to connect with SQL Server 2000. The problem that I am running in to is SQL Server 2000 i have is Window Authentication so Does not required to enter user name and password. So how can i connect my report builder to SQL server or is it possible to connect Report builder to SQL server?
Also, I want to create small practice version of database in Oracle how do i do it? what i mean by that is I installed trial version or Oracle developer 10g from www.oracle.com and now trying to get some knowledge with oracle. Could any one can give me some direction in this matter please.
Thank You
Key

Have a look at the reports help for the purpose header and trailer sections. Here is an exert:
"Report sectioning enables you to define multiple layouts in the same report, each with a different target audience, output format, page layout, page size, or orientation. You can define up to three report sections, each with a body area and a margin area: the names of the sections are Header, Main, and Trailer. By default, a report is defined in the Main section. In the other sections, you can define different layouts, rather than creating multiple separate reports. If you wish, you can use the margin and body of the Header and Trailer sections to create a Header and Trailer page for your reports."

Crystal Report and Oracle SDO_GEOMETRY

Hi,
 
 
I'm using Crystal Reports for Eclipse version 2.0.4.r825 with Eclipse 3.5 and Oracle 11g as database. I configured the database connection using ojdbc14.jar. Some of the tables i want to use in the report contains columns using the SDO_GEOMETRY data type and if i try to drag this table in the data tab of the report i get the following "Unexpected ValueType" error:

I tried the same with the Crystal Reports 2008 trial version and i'm having the same problem.
 
 
I don't wanna use the geometry column in my report but because of this error i can't use the whole table. Is there a way to avoid this error and still use the other columns of the table. Or maybe there is another way to connect to an Oracle database which can handle this special data type.
 
 
Thanks in advance,
 
 
Jens Keller

Hi Jens,
Views would work also as you noted.
No, if DB manufacturers change/update their Servers/clients they need to follow ANSII 92 standards. If they don't return the correct data type then CR will not "hack" our drivers to fix their issues. We did that for years and was a code nightmare, when they got around to fixing the problem it broke CR again. We decided to follow the standards, it may be our issue sometimes but in this case unique data types typically are not supported by CR. If you want support and it's not a client issue then add your request to the Enhancement Request2 post.
So yes in your case it would make it easier but for others they'll be asking why CR doesn't show all fields. Same reason.... not a CR issue.
Thanks agian

Install and configure report service on Oracle Application Server 10g

i want to know how to install and configure report service on Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0)
Thanks

the case is that we developed an ADF Application, so we want to deploy it on the latest version of Oracle Application server.
our application communicate with Oracle reports (run oracle reports from our Application) as there are no Oracle report products for JEE Application.
so if there are not report service that can run on Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0),
what is the other choices that oracle supports that can help us in this case ???

Create PDF report with APEX and Oracle 11g doesn't work

Hi everyone,
I have a problem with the downloading of PDF reports from APEX with Oracle 11g.
When I try to download a PDF, Acrobat Reader says it can not open the file.
I have done the same test in an environment with APEX and Oracle 10g and it works perfectly.
Does anyone know if there is a known bug for version 11g.
Thank you very much.

Hi Munky,
I open the generated file the Notepad++ I can read the next message:
*<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>500 Internal Server Error</TITLE></HEAD><BODY><H1>500 Internal Server Error</H1>OracleJSP:*
An error occurred. Consult your application/system administrator for support. Programmers should consider setting the init-param <code>debug_mode</code> to "true" to see the complete exception message.</BODY></HTML>
I have not idea can I solve the problem.
Have you got any solution for this problem??
Thank you so much.

Reports from Java and Oracle database

Hi
I need to generate couple of reports from my application, with Java as front end and oracle 11.2.0.3.0. database . Reports are having very simple select statements, using the criteria users enter from GUI. we don't need to execute a direct select statement from Java, with the where clauses . I did some research and found out about Pipelined functions. I tested for a small set of records and it worked fine. Will this work for large data set? any drawbacks of using this method? Any other methods for this requirement?
Thanks in advance
JP

Pipeline table functions do not sound like the appropriate approach. It is designed to primarily deal with data transformations. Using it as a rendering engine for report writing? There are fundamental problems with such an approach.
As Dave and Andre commented - the CORRECT means for PL/SQL to pass "data" to Java (or other client languages) is via reference cursors (pointers that the client can use for referencing SQL cursor programs on the server). And Java as a report writer does not really compare with the ease and flexibility that Oracle Apex (Application Express) provides as a reporting framework.

Installation of forms reports and oracle application server 10g

Hi,
I have been using client server till now, now planning to move to 10g. Got the developer suite 10g.
Tell me how and where to install forms/reports and Oracle application server... I mean forms reports should be on developer PC then what about application server? should it be on a different dedicated server? or can i have it on database server?
in case, if I install application server on one server and database is on another server then what about forms and reports?
please tell me which is the right option?

please tell me which is the right option?Ideally, you should have two separate server machines.
One for the database server.
One for the Application Server.
The Application Server is basically used for hosting your forms and reports, so you dont have to place the forms and reports on the developer PC or at any other server.

Installed Oracle reports 6i and 9.04 form home

I had Oracle Forms 4.5. & Report 3.1. in my old system (windows NT).
My goal is to upgrade Oracle Forms & Reports onto 10g DS.
I used windows XP for this purpose.
I have successfully ungraded Oracle Forms to 10g.
First I installed Forms 6i. (applied latest patches)
I opened all forms from the 4.5 into 6i and make its work.
I have installed Oracle Forms 10g in another/Separate Oracle Home & applied
latest patches.They have upgraded.
Now I need to do same process for Oracle Report.
So I start install Oracle Reports 6i.
My goal is to install Oracle Reports in separate Oracle Home.
But It does not ask any directory.
And its starts installing under Oracle Forms (9.0.4) Oracle Home.
I was so late to stop installation.
Now I am not able to use Oracle Forms 10g.

hello,
i am afraid you destroyed your installation, or at least messed it up.
i would suggest you install 6i first, and then install 10g (9.0.4) that way you can install 10g in a separate home. not sure if the 6i installer was multi-home capable.
thanks,
ph.
