Running reports via browser

I am getting this error in my apache error logs when a try to run a report from the browser:
[Wed May 08 10:08:35 2002] [error] Unrecognized character \220 at d:/oracle/isuites/apache/apache/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe line 1.
I am using 9iAS.

jeremy,
did you try to execute the exe from the dos-shell. looks like there is something wrong with it; maybe it got corrupted.

Can we launch Crystal Report via Browser?

Hi, Experts
I have created a Balance Sheet report (T-Style) with the help of BOBJ-Crystal Reorts.
But I wanna to consume this report via Browser, neither email with PDF/Excel attached, nor Crystal Report 2008 designer.
Is there any solution/tool to make this happen?
How can I implement it?
Thanks a lot.
Peter Zhou

You are able to view Crystal Reports via a browser in a few ways.
1. Report is published to Enterprise and you use Infoview to browse to the report and view.
2. Report is published to Enterprise and you use a custom application written in .NET/JAVA to view the report, loading it from your enterprise server.
3. Report is stored on disk and you use a custom application written in .NET/JAVA to view the report.
For viewing in a custom application please visit [diamond.businessobjects.com|http://diamond.businessobjects.com/]
The documentation for the SDK's can be found in the Developer Library, and sample code can be found under the Sample Code.

Run reports through browser on local machine

Hi,
I am trying to run 6i reports through a web browser. I have
installed 6i and the reports server on a local machince. I have
configured the reports server and can get it to start.
In order for me to run reports on my local machine through a web
browser do i need a web server ?
I am in my final year @ university, if i need a web server can i
use personal web server ?
The purpose of running them through a browser is only for a demo
for my final year project.
Oracle team : any chance you could host my report ? LOL
Thanks in advance for ANY help,
Russell.

Hi,
If you have installed the 6i Base Release i.e (6.0.8.8.0) version
then the WEBDB Listener comes with the 6i CD. When you install
it automatically get installed also.
In that case you don't need to have the web server. You can
call the report on web using the following URL:
http://host:port/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?report=<reportname>&otherparame
ters.
Here Host and port specifies that machine name and port number
where your webDB listener is installed.
In your case it will be your local machine. By default the
port on which the WebDB is installed is 80.
You can use any web server also, thing is that web server should
support the CGI implementation.
In case of more info you can update this posting.
Hope this helps
cheers

Run reports via command line

I'm new to Discoverer. I am trying to come up with a batch job so that the operators can run Discoverer reports via the command line.
The issue I am having is that when I issue the command (shown below), its opens up the Discoverer program (its because of the open command). Is there anyway I can issue a command which immediately runs a sheet inside the Discoverer file and exports it to a file without opening Discoverer. Thanks.
/connect ofsa_eulowner/[email protected] /open c:\selvi\customer.dis /sheet sheet1 /export xls c:\selvi\customer.xls

You need to use /batch to run the report.

Running reports via command-line with /batch option

Hi,
I have created a batch file which runs, and exports the results of 7 different discoverer reports with /batch option.
Contents of batch file:
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input1.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input2.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input3.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input4.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input5.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input6.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input7.txt"
Sample of a cmd file the bacth file runs:....
/connect user/password@oraprd /apps_responsibility "BIS Super User"
/open "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\Dev\Intransit Extract.dis"
/sheet 1 /export xls "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\Intransit Input.xls" /batch
The batch file runs ok and processes each report in sequence, and creates the excel export one after the other.
However, I need to process the 7 reports in parallel, so changed the batch file to process in own thread :
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input1.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input2.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input3.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input4.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input5.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input6.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input7.txt"
The reports kick off at the same time and I can see 7 dis4usr.exe processes running via task manager
Problem:
The first reports runs and exports ok.
All the others dis4usr.exe processing stops with the following error pop-up:
! Could not open file. OK
Question:
Can you only process reports sequentially via command line mode with /batch option?
If not...what am I missing...its driving me insane :)
All asistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ladies and gentlemen.....I have solved my problemo!
The reason why the rest of the reports were getting the 'could not open file.' error was due to the fact that each discoverer instance launched was
trying to access the same standard log file simultaneously.
I modified each cmd file to write logging info to individual files: eg
/logfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\Automation\input2_log.txt"
Now that's there's no contention with logging, the reports are firing off beautifully in parallel :)
I am definitely having a beer this evening!
Thanks for everyone's input...kept me on the righteous path :)

Identifying long running reports via SQL

I need to generate a list of reports which took longer than a specified duration threshold to run, and I am trying to build a Query Builder select statement which compares the start and execution end time of report instances.
I see from CMC Instance Manager Instance Details Start Time, End Time, and Expiry; comparing to the SQL accessed object properties SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_STARTTIME and SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_ENDTIME the end time maps to the CMC viewed 'Expiry' which doesn't help me, where can I select the value displayed in the CMC viewed Instance Details End Time from?
To state it another way: In Central Management Console - Instance Manager it is possible to filter on "Completion Time". I am looking for the DB object and attribute where this value is stored.

You can get this data from instance Manager also.
Open Instance manager through Chrome, filter it based on your requirement.
Select the Data and copy it.
Paste it in Excel .
You will get the exact data in the same format in excel

Running Report via a cron

Hello,
I may be a total nub for asking this, but is there a way to run an oracle report as a batch job such that a .pdf file or .html file is deposited in a directory?
I'm running 9ias, any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Scott

assuming that its on LINUX/UNIX:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rwclient.sh userid/password REPORT=report_name DESTYPE=PRINTER DESNAME=filename DESFORMAT=PDF BATCH=YES > report_error.log

Running Reports via MachDetails.asp?Machine=

We are migrating from SCCM 2007 to 2012 R2.
Embedded all over the company are references to SCCM 2007 reports that are coded like this:
http reporting page/MachDetails.asp?Machine=xxx
This MachineDetails.asp page in IIS of course allows for any machine name to be added (programmatically in our case) and results in the machine name being populated for ALL reports visible in one view. e.g. not just the
Hardware - General\Computer information for a specific computer report, but if we click around from this
MachineDetails.asp page to any other report, the machine name is already populated.
I cannot see an equivalent in SCCM 2012. I realise we are now talking SSRS instead of IIS, however I was wondering if anyone else has used SCCM like this before and what their solution was when cutting over to SCCM 2012?
Thanks in advance!
Steve

I have a solution for you. Send me an email, if you are untreated in testing this out.

Running Exe via browser

Hi all,
I'm developing a system which running on trusted local area network. As a request from my client, he does't want any installation at client side, all interface must used webbrowser. In this case, I'm does't have any choice except using Servlet Technology. My system also required to talk some device at client machine. Currently system required to run external program to communicate with the devices. My problem is, how can I force my code to execute external program (*.exe) such as NotePad at client machine?
I'm tries to used RunTime class and call it from JSP pages. At my client machine, the JSP page appear and the exe application also running but it's running at Server machine.
What shoud I do now to make sure my external program also running at client machine?
Regards

Hi,
Actually your JSP get compiled and the java code is executed at server side thus the application runs on server side. If you need to use Runtime class at client side, try using it with applet instead of JSP.

Long running reports end successfully - present s "page can not be found"

Long running reports and browser timeouts - page can not be found"
We are launching Oracle 9i Reports from a Portal 9ias (release 9.0.2.2) system. We are in production with about 100 users. It is not going well with respect to Report problems.
We have the following problems:
1) hanging reports,
2) reports where parameter screens will not present due to large LOV on parameter screen,
3) and the most aggravating problem is "Page can not be found" presented to user when in fact the report ran successfully and create a .pdf.
We are at our wits end with Oracle Support and the Oracle Portal and Reports product.
As I said, I am launching Oracle Reports 9i from a Portal 9.0.2.2 application. I have several long running reports that complete successfully but return to the user an error "Page can not be found". Meta-link Note: 189454.1 suggests a modification to ReceiveTimeout parameter in the pc registry. We set the ReceiveTimeout parameter to 7200000. This did not solve the problem. Users still receive "Page can not be found".
Is there a report server side setting that we must set also ... or some other setting we should check?
I need to solve this issue. Is there someone out there that can help? Are there other people having similar Oracle Reports issues? According to Oracle Support we are the only people with these issues. Are we?

1) If you can reproduce the Reports Hanging issue consistently you can push Oracle Support to file a bug.
2) I am not sure about this now, but again you can take this to Oracle Support and push for resolution.
3) There are some problems with IE - Adobe integration. This is not a Reports bug. You can try
(a) Switching off Adobe - web integration in Adobe Acrobat reader settings, so that Adobe will not automatically open pdf file in web. Instead a dialog will be shown as to which application to open the pdf file or save it to disk and user can save the file to disk and open.
(b) Use IE latest version. (or some other browser like Netscape )
[ You can roll back the ReceiveTimeout param change you made to see the impacts one at a time ]
1) To confirm that this is a Adobe - IE pdf problem run the same report to htmlcss, rtf. If these come fine, then we can ascertain that this is Adobe - IE issue.
2) Give http://host:port/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=server_name. You can see all the jobs and their jobids. For the concerned jobs you can click and see whether output is actually generated or not.

Error 404--Not Found - while running report in 11g

Dear All ,
I have my oracle application in 10g R1. Now we are migarting that to 11g .
There is a temporary directory where we are generating report output (PDF)
we are using an alias name web_reps for this folder .
Given the AliasMatch in forms.conf and in registry given the alias name for FORMS_MAPPING .
It was working with 10g . Tried the same in 11g so that report is generating in the folder (PDF)
but while openeing the file using web.showdocument () using the alias name it is giving the below error .
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
If any body know this issue pls help .
Thanks
Jyo

Are you using apache in front of your weblogics, or just plain weblogic? Also please post the full version of your 11g installation (11.1.1.x or 11.1.2.x). If you are using no apache and the 11.1.1.x version for development (without apache) the forms servlet and the reports servlet are deployed on different weblogic instances running on a different port; meaning forms is available under e.g.
http://ias:9001/forms/frmservlet
whereas reports is available under
http://ias:9002/reports/rwservlet
but when running reports via web.show_document it assumes both are running on the same port. Also make sure your weblogic instances are up and running. So either you use apache for production (in 11.1.1.x or 11.1.2.x) or you go for 11.1.2 in development where the forms and the reports servlets are deployed on the very same port. As far as I am concerned I'd go for 11.1.2 as the production environment is nothing different from 11.1.1 and the development environment is a hell of a lot easier to install.
cheers

Running Reports using DESTYPE=CACHE from Report Launch Form (QMS0012F)

We are trying to run reports via the web. Since this is a 3-tier setup and our report server is running under UNIX the DESTYPE=Preview and Screen are not valid options. When we choose CACHE as DESTYPE we get the error:
'Invalid value '||l_value||' passed for parameter DESTYPE'
I have traced the error down to the QMS0012L.PLL library -> QMS$REPORT (version 6.5.1.3) package -> add_par_to_list procedure.
Is this a legacy of a client/server type setup? I have modified the procedure to allow for DESTYPE=CACHE. Now by submitting a report with DESTYPE=CACHE it gets submitted to the reports server except it doesn't show report. To display the report I believe we have
to use the Web.Show Document function to display the report (eg. http://bill:7777/servlet/RWServlet/getjobid8?server=rep60bill) as per the oracle white paper "Integrating Oracle9iAS Reports in Oracle9iAS Forms"
Has there been a headsdtart patch to include the DESTYPE of CACHE when running reports? or are we the only ones running reports this way.

Raymond,
I have recorded a new bug against Headstart for this. We do not
currently have a fix, but I've looked at the code you mention and
your fix looks correct.

Lauri

Run XML Publisher Report via URL (like Oracle Reports)

Hi All,
Is it possible to run xml-publisher report via URL?
In Oracle Reports works this fine:
http://test:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=test_bihome1&report=test1.rdf&userid=test/testv@db&desformat=pdf&destype=cache
We need this for public reports without user login.
Thanks
Thomas

Thomas,
I was waiting to get home before Tim replied... He got the better of me this time :-)
You say you want to let your users run reports using XMLP just by clicking on an URL same way you do with reports and without having to login. If I got the question right and assuming that:
1.Your company is not overly concerned on who runs what reports
2.Who sees what data
3.Your XMLP installation is on your intranet and firewalled from the outside
What you can do is:
On the main page of your XMLP Enterprise installation you should see a folder called "Guest". Any report you create under this folder is run as user "guest" which means you don't have to authenticate yourself as you would normally do.
I have tested this on my home server and this is what I've done:
1.Logged in as admin or any other user you've created with admin privileges created a report under the "Guest" folder.
2.Copied the URL, on my server it is "http://samba.private.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo"
4.Logged off as admin and pasted the URL to a new browser window
5.Hit return and Voila, my report runs without the need to login to XMLP.
Hope this helps. Let us know how you got on.
Cheers,
Joao
PS: If you want to see the report for yourself here's the URL from the outside: http://medeiros.homelinux.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo
I'll keep the link alive for a couple of days.

How to run the report via application server

Report not running?
hi All,
I am calling the report via forms, In application server i had recompiled the reports in two different format too.
1. myreports.rep
2. myreports.jsp
I have called the report from the menu and i used code like below
Declare
      V_id Varchar2(100);
Begin
    V_id := Run_Report_Object('myreports');
End;but i am getting following error.
Frm-41219:Cannot find report:Invalid ID.and subsequently an another too.
Frm-40738:Argument 1 to builtin RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be null.please guide me
kanish

I using Forms 10g R2, i store the recompile version in Application server.
Good, so you can refer to the metalink note I mentioned above, as per storing the reports in the application server, the default place for running reports is not a folder in the FORMS_PATH, the REPORTS_PATH is set in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh file, pointing by default to the sample folder - $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo, for testing purposes you can put your report there and try it again, or you can modify the REPORTS_PATH variable in the reports.sh file to point to the directory you were mentioning.
Note: I am calling the report throug menu using the eariler posting code.
I would recommend to create a Form to call the Report, I am not sure if there are restrictions about invoking a report directly from the menu.
About the code, you are missing a lot there, refer to metalink note mentioned above, here is an excerpt from that document.
PROCEDURE TEST_REPORT IS
repid      REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep      VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object('report5');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'repserver90');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no pdeptno='||:dept.deptno);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
    LOOP
      rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
    END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
    /*Display report in the browser*/
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://<YourServerName:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
   substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver90','_blank');
ELSE
    message('Error when running report');
END IF;
END;
In my eariler version 6i (2 tier) when i call the report it invoke parameter form. will 10g also behave same like 6i?
Yes, there is still a parameter Form which runs in an HTML page.
*1. Should i want to create any Report_Path, Report_classpath ? if yes ,where should i ?* It will depend on your configuration, the easiest way is to setup the REPORTS_PATH in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh file, if you are configuring the reports server to use environment ids, that would not work and you would need to setup the REPORTS_PATH directly in the reports engine configuration file .. $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/rwserver.template.
