Scheduled Reports results by Command Line

I have several reports that I schedule to run nightly in Discoverer 10G Desktop. How can I open the scheduled results using Command Line? Once open, I want to export the results as Excel. I can do a unscheduled report using the code below:
\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin\dis51usr.exe /connect username/password@report /apps_user /apps_responsibility "responsiblity name" /opendb "report name" /sheet "Exception Report" /parameter "parameter name" 'parameter value' /export XLS C:\TEMP\testexport1.xls
Is it possible to retrieve the scheduled results? How much of this could be done at command line and how much would have to be done in a third party scheduler?
Thanks.

Hi,
How can I open the scheduled results using Command Line? Is it possible to retrieve the scheduled results?No, I don't think it is possible to retrieve scheduled results from the command line.
How much of this could be done at command line and how much would have to be done in a third party scheduler? It would be better to do it all using a third party scheduler such as the windows task manager. You could schedule the export to run overnight using the task manager and a windows command file. You can search this forum or the LearnDiscoverer blog for more details on third party scheduling.

Error while running the Discoverer report from the command line.

Hi All,
I've to run a discoverer report from command line and export the results in xls/html on to my local machine. This report I've to run it as batch and scheduled it.
I have a parameterized worksheet and this has to be run from command line specifying the parameter value I wanted to run the report for. I do not get any results. Here is the command line I am using.
dis51usr /connect user/password@database /opendb "TIMS-PCJ status Report" /sheet "TIMS observation status report (based on performed date)" /parameter "Test Number" '40351' /parameter "From Date" '05-MAY-2008' /parameter "To Date" '06-MAY-2008' /export HTML "C:\DISCOVERER_REPORT_SCHEDULING\DIS_OUTPUT\PCJStOutputinHTML123"
I even added the TO_DATE conversion for the parameters and also gave the format of the date as 'DD_MON_YYYY'.
Discoverer Desktop opened up, logged in and gets terminated saying 'Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and need to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
Please anyone reply me.
Regards & Thanks,
P. Gayathri Devi

Hi Gayathri,
Try changing your parameter names to be a single word. (Change "Test Number" to Test_Number).
Does the report run fine when run through Desktop for the same parameter values? Which version of Discoverer are you using?
Thanks.

Scheduling workbooks using the command line

Hi, can anyone tell me if it's possible to schedule workbooks in Discoverer using the command line interface? If so, could you point me in the direction of any relevant documentation?
We've got 300+ reports to schedule on a regular basis and it would be useful if we had different options to schedule the workbooks e.g. for batch processing.
Thanks and regards

Inspired by your MacOS fix, I went looking to see if their was an easier Windows fix than my 'Repair Bonjour' process. Turns out there might be.
In the Bonjour 'Program Files' folder, there is an application named 'mDNSResponder.exe' which brings up a DOS dialog. After running this application and then opening iTunes, I had a stable AppleTV-iTunes connection through the evening until I put my computer to sleep.
I haven't done any thorough testing around this (the kind that Apple should have done before releasing iTunes 7.6), but it does seem to at least temporarily resolve the issue until iTunes is closed again. What would be nice is if this works without having to restart a faulty iTunes session (which the 'Repair' fix doesn't).

How to genearte Unit Test reports through ANT/Command line ?

Hi,
I am using sql developer unit test feature to test my database code. I am planning to execute and generate reports by running ant script.
Is it possible to get the unit test results in any format (text,XML,HTML) after running the tests.
How to integrate report generation tasks as part of Automated builds?
Is there any command line utility do through can invoke through ant task?
Thanks,
Fernando

Fernando,
I, too, am looking to run our PL/SQL unit test suites through our automated ant build scripts. Currently, I've only been able to determine that there is a "UtUtil.bat" and "UtUtil.sh" command line utility for win and linux in /sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin. However, it only take three switches:
UtUtil -run ?
UtUtil -imp ?
and
UtUtil -exp ?
While this does provide some limited value to us through automating the importing of our exported test suites and then running them as part of our builds, it doesn't help in running reports on the test runs and exporting the reports to something our build processes can consume (i.e. xml).
Also, we want to be able to run our full db build on (almost) any of our development machines and we don't want to have to have a unit test repository already preconfigured on each development db. I haven't found a utility to automate the creation of the unit test repository user and the repository, and then whena all the test suite runs have finished and the reports run, delete the repository and repository user.
We have used Quest's Code Tester product in the past and it had all of these great features that I am really hoping Oracle can either implement or expose to us.
Regards and best of luck,
Mike Sanchez

How to compile forms and reports in linux command line ?

Hi,
I'm working on a migration from forms 6i to 11g R2. The development/migration is being made on a Windows 7 64 bits, however, those forms and reports will run on a Linux RHEL 5. Thus, I have to compile them inside that linux box.
How can I do it? Is there a tool to compile the forms and reports in command line withn a linux box?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the answer, Carlos.
I run the command but this error message is displayed "FRM-91500: Unable to start/complete the build".

Sending Reporting Services report via the command line

I would like to either execute a subscription that sends a report via email on demand. That or just email the report without having to edit the subscription date. Can this be done from the command line? I see there is the rs.exe utility
that allows you to deploy reports and run configuration commands, but I would like to execute and email the report. Is this possible?

The easiest way to run a subscription manually is to run the agent job in SQL server that is associated to the subscription. You'll need to know the subscription ID to do that. So, you could either run it through SSMS, or if it needs to be in
command line, interact with SQL Server via command line and do so.
You can use the ReportService2010 API methods and and powershell script to identify the subscription ID

How to run Discoverer 10g report from unix command line

Hello Experts,
I am aware that discoverer report can run through command line using "dis51usr.exe /connect username/passward@connection_string /opendb "DISCOVERER.<<report name>> /export xls"".
Can we run discoverer 10g report (stored in database) from server location / unix command line? Is there any command?
Please assist. Thank you.

Hi Tamir,
Can you please mention from where we have to execute/run these commands? After setting enviornmental variable, are these commands run from any location or we have to go to particular server location and then execute (ex. from directory BI or else).
Thank you.

Problem accessing scheduled report results

Hi,
I was able to schedule a Disco report successfully. From Disco desktop scheduling manager, I was monitoring the results. After the status says "Report ready", I clicked the "Open" button.
For the first dialog message "Do you want to open the results of this sheet? If you click No the sheet will be empty.", I clicked Yes button.
Then I get the second dialog message "The results run for this scheduled workbook can no longer be used because the query has changed. Do you want to query the database now for the new results?". What does this message mean? Nothing has changed in the report or database or EUL since I scheduled this report. I have been getting this message for all my scheduled reports and it defeats the purpose of scheduling.
Does anybody know what this message means and how can I resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am only guessing here but is it possible that the update date on your workbooks has got set in the future. Hence, when the schedule report finishes it checks the update date of the workbook and thinks that the workbook has been updated because it was updated after the schedule report has finished. It then prompts you to re-query for the results.
If you create a new workbook and schedule it do you get the same problem?

Reports on the command line

1)Is it possible to run a report that has a parameter form on the command line? I am using rwcli and passing parameters on the command line but it is comming up with the following errors:
REP-0177: Error while running in remote server
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'TestI.rdf'.
REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'TestI.rdf'
2) I want to run a dummy report that calls the actual report. Is it possible to do this on the command line? The dummy report has a dummy query. Should the destype be set to file or screen for this dummy report?
Thanks

Hi Srikanth
You can specify the parameters from the command line while running Reports.
Say, if you have a parameter called P_1. While running reports you may specify:
rwrun report=blah.jsp userid=foo/bar@db P_1=Friday ...
You may specify the destype of the dummy report to file. Perhaps you may want to create this file into a temp folder so that it can be cleaned up regularly.

Hi All,
I would like to know how to schedule a Webi (infoview) report of Bussiness Objects XI Release2 through Command line , Not through CMS.
Command line options
1. To schedule a report from CMS but using a command line. What all parameters are needed in order to do this ?
2. To stop/reschedule a report being refreshed/running at this moment. What all parameters are needed in order to do this ?

Did you have any luck finding out how to do this ? We would like to trigger reports from the command line on demand. (or via an API is fine too)
Thanks,

Crystal reports from command line

Post Author: DrewJ
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I need to run Crystal reports from the command line.
Does anyone know how to pass parameter arguments when launching the application?
I have tried cr32w.exe c:\reports\report.rpt arg="099909"
(which launches the right report, but does not pass in the arg)
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
Drew Johnston

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. The application would not be on the same server as the machine. So if I used the command that you gave me would that actually run the report (ie refresh the data and then save the report ,as instructed in the settings, on to the network location). Or would it just open up the report. Also, how would I send parameters to the report, eg Dates or Status.
This is the scenario. At the moment a user would input data on to database via an external applicaion. After inputting all the data, they would then have to log into Crystal Infoview. Navigate to the report. They would then click on the Schedule hyperlink. They would change the parameters eg Start Date and End Date. And then press the Schedule button. The report would then refresh the data, and as specified in the Destination, it would write out to a network location.
So we want the external app to write a command line prompt, so that the user did not have to log onto Crystal at all. The application would send the relevant parameters and run the crystal report automatically without the user having to log into Crystal at all.

Prakash

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 :)
