Same font in Reports Builder environment

i am facing a query which i am not able to understand. I made 2 reports, one with font '8' and another with '10' in Reports Builder Developer Suite 9i in Windows 2000 professional edition. After this, i copied both the reports into Unix operating System HP-11i and it works properly showing the report with the smaller font in smaller font itself. But when i import the reports(.rdf) back from Unix into windows 2000 environment, it is showing both the reports in same font '10' in design mode. I am not able to understand that when i import the reports back from UNIX into windows, why are the reports showing in the same font in design mode. Please help me in this as it is very urgent.

Hi,
this could be because of your UNIX environment does not have the required fonts, the report builder substituted the available fonts. Moreover, there is no uniformity in case of fonts across OS.
I have faced this problem my self several times.

How to dislay other language font in Report Builder paper layout?

How to I display other language font (e.g. chinese) in Report Builder paper layout?
I have no problem displaying Chinese characters in web layout.

If your NLS_LANG is properly set to chinese character set and if you are choosing the right chinese fonts, in Reports builder, your report paper layout should display chinese characters properly.
If you are generating to PDF, then you might want to use PDF subsetting to display the chinese characters properly.
See the documentation on how to use PDF subsetting.

Add a font to report builder?

Is it possible to add a new font to report builder 3.0? I'm new to this and trying to create a report that uses the font Whitney Book (or one similar to it) but I can't figure out how to add it to the report builder.
Thanks in advanced!

Hi Unique DisplayNames,
According to your description, you want to add a font for Reporting Services in Report Builder. Right?
In Reporting Services, open type font is not supported which means we can't add font into Report Builder directly. Since we use standard Windows APIs for fonts, you may need to install the font into Windows (Go to Control Panel->Fonts or add the fonts
into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts). Here has some available info in the following blog:

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.

To set generic fonts in report builder

hi,
i have an issue regardign the fonts.
Even if i change the reports to use generic font names like Arial
instead of Arial(Western), the Report builder after reopening the
report is changing it to Arial(Western)

You seem to be posting to the wrong forum. There is no "report builder" feature in the Oracle Workspaces application.

How do you set NLS_LANG environment variable in report builder

How do you set up the reports builder environment to display foreign fonts.
So far what I read makes me think that in report builder I have to set the NLS_LANG environment variable .
If anyone has done this is that true and if so how.
Also the languages I want to use are the following.
Armenian
Cambodian
Chinese
Russian
Tagalog
Vietnamese
How do I find the NLS_LANG environment variables for these.
Where I am at now+
I have to set the DEVELOPER NLS LANG. I see the NLS LANG in the registry and I guess I have to add the DEVELOPER NLS LANG.
Now I am searching for syntax. If anyone knows the syntax for those languages please let me know and how do I set more than 1 at a time.

Hello Howard,
Check out the following link here you can find your desired NLS parameters.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/htdocs/nls_lang%20faq.htm
And about the NLS_LANG for developer why you want to create for developer. Its is already there in REGISTRY. Just seaching in developer registry you can find there.
how do I set more than 1 at a time.
You can set only one NLS_LANG parameter at a time.

JSP graph image works in Reports Builder but not in JDev9i

Robin,
None of these changes work. What else should I check?
In the rwservlet.properties file (not rwserver.properties **)
I changed #IMAGEURL=http://<web_server_name>:<port_num>/reports/rwservlet
to IMAGEURL=C:\Oracle\Oracle9iDS2\reports\cache\
or
IMAGEURL=http://<web_server_name>:<port_num>/servlet/oracle.reports.rwclient
.RWClient
[IMAGEURL=http://163.249.38.151:8988/servlet/oracle.reports.rwclient.RWClient]
[IMAGEURL=http://163.249.38.151:8888/servlet/oracle.reports.rwclient.RWClient]
Would my localhost name and http port be the in-process JDeveloper OC4J listener?
Also my ports keep being reassigned (up one number) when I terminate the embedded OC4J server and run the JSP again. (That is what you meant by restart the server, right?) from 8988 to 8989 to 8990 etc.
John Williams
Hi John,
The reason that you aren't seeing that graph in JDeveloper is that rwservlet
isn't available with the JDeveloper in-process OC4J listener. The OC4J
listener is the minimum requirement. In addition, Reports forces the graph
to be retrieved via the Reports server for security reasons. Ie: you
shouldn't be able to get at graph images simply by knowing their URL. In
the Reports builder environment, security is not the issue so there is a
direct reference to the file.
Now, when you're running from JDeveloper, you need to tell Reports how it
should configure the URL. Reports runs in a secure mode by default to
retrieve the images and, since JDeveloper is calling it as a through a Web
listener, it is responding to a normal request and hence forcing the image
to be retrieved via rwservlet.
To tell Reports to access images directly or through another listener, you
need to alter the %ORACLE_HOME%\reports\conf\rwserver.properties file and
uncomment and change the following line: **
#IMAGEURL=http://<web_server_name>:<port_num>/reports/rwservlet
to
IMAGEURL=C:\Oracle\Oracle9iDS2\reports\cache\
Or
IMAGEURL=http://<web_server_name>:<port_num>/servlet/oracle.reports.rwclient
.RWClient
Where <web_server_name> and <port_num> are the values of the in-process
JDeveloper OC4J listener.
You will need to re-start the Reports server. This should generate the
appropriate link to the image when run from JDeveloper.
When you deploy your application through a standard iAS OC4J instance
containing the Reports Servlet, this IMAGEURL entry should again be
commented out. Since the servlet is available in this iAS OC4J instance,
the images will appear when referenced through rwservlet.
Robin.
When I leave the server parameter attribute out my GraphReport.jsp runs
from JDev9i (using the same server as Reports Builder). The only thing
missing now is the graph after my report. It shows up as a small square
image tag.

I found out the answer to both of my problems.
1) for the missing graph image
In the documentation link below I found a pdf file that gave the details.
In the rwservlet.properties file in the IMAGEURL attribute
the part that was missing is after the port #.
IMAGEURL=http://<host>:<port>/<Workspace>-<Project>-context-root
/servlet/oracle.reports.rwclient.RWClient
2) for the port conflict - switch from the 'ojvm' virtual machine to 'hotspot'
so that the embedded OC4J server is killed when it is terminated.
I found these answers under Oracle Technology Network > documentation
at http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/reports/content.html

Oracle9i Reports Release Notes (pdf file)
1.19 Oracle JDeveloper Integration
1.19.2 Graph Not Appearing in Oracle JDeveloper
When running a JSP report with the rw:graph tag in Oracle JDeveloper, the image is not visible in the browser. To fix this problem, set the IMAGEURL in the rwservlet.properties file in ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf:
IMAGEURL=http://<host>:<port>/<Workspace>-<Project>-context-root
/servlet/oracle.reports.rwclient.RWClient
1.19.3 Reports In-process Server
If the Java Virtula Machine (JVM) is set to ojvm, minimal, or vanilla in Oracle JDevelopers Virtual Machine settings (Project Settings -> Runner -> Virtual Machine), the rwservlet's in-process server is not killed when JDevelopers embedded OC4J server is terminated. As a result, a port conflict occurs the next time that OC4J is started.
To avoid this problem, do one of the following:
Set the JVM to Java Virtual Machine to hotspot.
Disable the in-process server in ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/rwservlet.properties and
use the standalone Reports Server instead.

11g Report behaves differently in Application Menu than Report Builder !

Hi,
I m working in 11g Reports and noted some objects, which shows different/no results when run from my application menu (through Web.Show_document & Run_Report_object), but these objects are OK when run in Report Builder (paper layout).
(1)
When I run report from my application menu, Formula Column shows no result i.e. 0 ,
but when same run from Report Builder (Paper Layout), formula column shows the right result.
Below is my Formula Column;
function RATEFormula return Number is
rt NUMBER(10,4);
Mt VARCHAR2(8);
begin
     Mt :=TO_CHAR(:FROMDATE,'RRRRMM');
if :RATETYPE='A' THEN
     LOOP
     SELECT (sum(nvl(amount,0))) / (sum(nvl(rect_qty,0)))
     INTO Rt
     FROM trhrect h,trdrect d
     WHERE TO_CHAR(h.v_dt,'RRRRMM')=Mt
     AND d.item_code=:ITEM_CODE
     AND h.unit=d.unit AND h.v_ser=d.v_ser AND h.v_no=d.v_no ;
EXIT WHEN RT >0 OR MT='201003';
     MT:=TO_CHAR(TO_NUMBER(MT)-1);
     END LOOP;
     end if;
RETURN NVL(Rt,0);
end;
(2)
Vertical Lines i.e. these lines are visible when run through Paper Layout in Report Builder, but these lines are not visible when run through my application menu.
Kindly advise me, its urgent.
Thanks/Regards
Dev.

1> Please check whether the same parameters are being passed to the reports(while running the report using the report builder and through the application). Apart from this there will be no issue.
2> Please check for any format triggers on the lines.

Rwrun60.exe - only with complete Report Builder Installation

Hello,
what has to be installed in order to run rwrun60.exe
in a "standalone" modus. does a complete report builder
environment has to be installed ? or can rwrun60.exe
somehow run on its own ?
Thank you
Thorsten Lorenz

I think you have to install complete report builder. If you install only report runtime it causes problems while running reports.

Oracle Report Builder Font diffrenece in different O/S

Dear All,
The report that I have developed in windows environment using Oracle Report Builder while running in Solaris environment displaying wrong character. Basically I am trying to display Portuguese character in my report, its working fine while running in windows environment where as when I run the same in Solaris environment its displaying wrong character.
Sample:
In Windows Environment the word that I am trying to display is - RESUMO DE TARIFAGCO POR BANCO
where as its displaying wrong in Solaris environment - RESUMO DE TARIFA?O POR BANCO
Thanks in advance to provide solution.

Hi
Reports builder picks up the font information from the display server and printer. In case you need the same font to appear in layout editor and paper design i.e live-previewer, make sure respective fonts are installed in your display server for the character sets you are using. If you are running the report to file with pdf/html format etc or to the printer, make sure the required printer fonts are installed. PLease also refer Font document on otn under Reports doc section.
Thanks
Rohit

Custom fonts not displayed when PDF is generated using 10g Report builder

Hi
I have two fonts , abc.ttf and def.ttf which I have placed under C:\Windows\fonts. One of these displays a logo and the other displays barcode
I have added the environment variable REPORTS_PATH which has value C:\Windows\fonts. I have also added entries for PDF Subset in uifont.ali.
But still when I run the report and out to a PDF file, the fonts are not displayed. They are remapped to some other fonts.
When I check PDF document properties in Adobe reader, under fonts tab it says
abc
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
def
   Type:Type1
   Encoding:ANSI
   Actual Font: Adobe Sans MM
   Actual Font Type : Type 1
uifont.ali entries
[ PDF:Subset ]
# This example shows how to subset Arial True Type font into the PDF file
# Arial = "Arial.ttf"
# The True Type font files must exist in any one of the folders specified in
# REPORTS_PATH.
abc= "abc.ttf"
def="def.ttf"
In Oracle reports builder, I am able see these fonts and select them in my report layout
I am able to see the fonts in Preview/screen output while running RDFs in my reports builder, but PDF output doesnt display these fonts
Is there anything else which is required to do ? Do I need to restart the machine after environment variable is added ?

In one PC were Report Builder is installed, we see "COURIER NEW - WESTERN" font and the RDF created / saved in that font works fine on server. I don't know if this helps!

Project Server 2010 and Report Builder 3 : the same name already exists

Hi,
I created my first report in Report Builder, and,
although it's not perfect, I tried to save it. But I get the error :
Impossible to save the report "No title.rdl". A file from another type with the same name already exists".
I tried to change the name 5 times but I always got the same error.
Any idea ?
Thanks

Hi WLID,
I have taken a sample test in my environment, it works well. If there is already another type file named “No title” on report server, then it can be saved on report server. If there is already a report named “No title” on report server, then it would prompt
that “An item named ‘http://servername/reportserver/foldername/No title’ already existed. Do you want to replace the existing item?” when we want to save the report in the same folder.
What’s the location that you want to save the report? Is it a report server or others? Could you please provide us more information about the issue? You can try to reopen the Report Builder, then create another simple report to text the issue again.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Comparing fields from multiple entities in the same report (report builder 1.0)

Created a model that contains 2 entities. I open that model in report builder 1.0. When I drag a field from one of the entities into the design area, i can no longer see the other entity or use any of the fields from that other entity.
I need to use fields from both entities in the same report (join tables). In management studio i would simply write a query and join tables but i cannot figure out how to do this in report builder. Once i select a field from one entity
how do i select fields from more than one entity and drag them into the same report.

Would it be possible for you to send me instructions for this? I am not that familiar with SQL coding but I can definitely figure it out. I have been wanting to get information on reports from multiple entities for a very long time! The only way I can
currently do it is have our document management software people write the report for me for quite a large fee. I would much rather do this myself. Right now I can select a few fields from one entity (the main one), some from a second entity under that one,
but I cannot add any fields from a third entity! Quite annoying and hindering! Thank you :)
