SSRS Report Report Blank Yet Generates Perfect PDF

I have a rather complicated SSRS report (basically a dashboard with multiple charts and tables) that I'm having some issues with. It generates fine in BIDS, but out on the report server is where things get weird.
On the report server it generates without throwing an error, but doesn't display anything, I just get a blank white screen. Yet I can export the report to a PDF, and in the PDF everything looks perfect (despite not having actually displayed
anything in the report manager after the report successfully runs!).
If I upload the report into our CRM 2013 app and run it, I get the generic "rsProcessingAborted" when it first runs, then if I hit "Try Again" on the error screen I get the "Invalid Argument"
error.
I set the timeouts on the queries in the .rdl to an insane 20 minutes just to rule out a timing out issue.
Anyone ever seen something like this before, a blank SSRS report that doesn't throw an error yet still generates a correct PDF?

This appears to be a Chrome browser issue and unfortunately that's the browser my company insists on using. Just ran the report via IE and it worked perfectly. Chrome just cannot render the HTML correctly on very complicated reports it seems, as all my basic
reports worked fine in Chrome. Found this thread on potential fixes in the .js files on the report server. Not sure how that is going to play with the reports in CRM:

Hyperion Reports v 2.6 generating/exporting PDF's

I've got Reports installed with a printer and I have Adobe Reader 6--which says it's capable of generating PDF's however on the Reports instsall it's not an option for PDF generation. Does Reports come with a PDF writer or is that something extra that I've got to buy? If it does come with a PDF writer is there something else I have to do to get Reports to generate a PDF?This is the error message I get: Error while saving as PDFCould not find information about PDF generation for instance number: Thanks,Mary Ann

We installed Adobe Acrobat Writer/Distiller on our Reports Server and then pointed Reports to Acrobat for the generation of PDF's.You might want to check on Reader having the ability to generate PDF's, I was not aware Acrobat reader could generate a PDF. It certainly goes against the naming convention (i.e. a reader should only be capable of reading)Good luck.

XML Publisher Report not generating the PDF output.

Hi,
I am trying to develop a XML Publisher Report in R12 Vision Instance.
I have developed the rdf report and concurrent program with XML as output format. Ran the concurrent program and I got the XML output. Based on XML output I have created the rtf template. Using both the template and xml output I have created in Data Definition and Template in XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility. Now I am comming to the concurrent program and running the program, here instead of generating the PDF output it is generating again the XML output and concurrent program completing with warning status.
When I am trying to do the same in 11i Vision Instance, Concurrent Program completing with normal status and when trying to view the output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for the Processed Request".
Kindly please help me out in this issue.
Thanks,
Manasa.

Hi Mahesh,
Here the concurrent programs are not erroring out. It is completing with Warning status and when we click on View Output the output is coming in XML format instead of PDF, this is in R12 Vision Instance.
In 11i Vision Instance, concurrent program is completing with Normal Status but when we click on View Output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for specified request".
Thanks,
Manasa.

Parameter issue - report not generating any pdf files

Hi All,
I'm trying to run a report which generates pdf files. Is there any limitation on the parameter string size? For one of the parameter values - '11F EA Accept nonhonor ASnSOMnSON_20091201090150846' the report is not generating any pdf files. I assumed the reason is of the keyword 'AS' in it and created another parameter value - '11F EA Accept nonhonor AnS-SOM-SON_20091202074331997', but it is also not generating any pdf files. I get this message from Adobe Reader " There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be opened because it has no pages. " The report is working normally when i hardcode the same parameter values into the logic. Any suggestions on this?
Thanks.

Tim,
That report is working normally for all the parameter values, except this one. It is not working only if i pass the value - ''11F EA Accept nonhonor ASnSOMnSON_20091201090150846' as a parameter. It is generating the pdf files when i hardcode the same value into sql query logic in the data template, instead of passing it as a parameter. Please advise.
Thanks.

How to generate a PDF format report

Hello,
here i am trying to generate the report as 'PDF' format from the form. after i run the form a parameter form comes up there i give parameter as 'IC' it should get only the IC related report in 'PDF' format. i could do this but after i close the adobe and return to the report its not over writing on the same file where i gave the DESNAME:='C:\KAVITHA8.PDF'. its taking atleast 10 minutes to rewrite on the same file.
i tried first the following way to get the PDF format output but its not even working.
host('R30RUN32 C:\AC_REPORT.REP DESTYPE = FILE DESFORMAT = PDF BATCH = YES');
THIS IS NOT WORKING TOO.
THEN I TRIED THE FOLLOWING WAY HERE I AM EXECUTING THE REPORT BY HOSTING THE ADOBE.
THIS WORKS BUT DOESNT REWRITE ON THE SAME FILE, IS THERE ANY OTHERWAY THAT I CAN DO THIS OR HOW CAN I MAKE THIS WORK IN PROPER WAY.
BY THE WAY THIS REPORT DEVELOPED IN DEVELOPER 2000...
THIS I NEED FOR MY PRODUCTION, PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME OUT.....
declare
pl_id paramlist;
destype varchar2(10);
desname varchar2(20);
desformat varchar2(10);
TEMP_status varchar2(10);
begin
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
TEMP_status :=:W_STATUS;
DESTYPE := 'FILE';
DESNAME := 'C:\KA.PDF';
DESFORMAT := 'PDF';
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_STATUS',TEXT_PARAMETER,TEMP_STATUS);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,DESTYPE);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER,DESNAME);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,DESFORMAT);
Run_Product(REPORTS,'C:\AC_REPORT.REP', ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id);
HOST('c:\program files\adobe\Acrobat 5.0\reader\acrord32.exe C:\KA.PDF');
END;
thanks in advance....

All the information you described points to the problem that reports seems can't generate to a file which already exist. You can verify that by simply doing
r30run32 C:\AC_REPORT.REP DESTYPE = FILE DESFORMAT = PDF BATCH = YES' desname=c:\temp\ac_report.pdf
several times. If first time the report is successfully generated in c:\temp\ac_report.pdf, but not the second, third time, then it looks like there is a bug on reports r30run32 executable.
You may try to find any latest patch for Reports 3.0 to see if patch can solve you problem. But keep in mind Reports 3.0 is de-supported, you are better to move to 6i or 9i reports.
Thanks,

How to generate a PDF Report to print all records

Hi,
I have two fields on the page
1.Id
2.year
both are select list.
When Id and year is selected from the list a pdf report is generated showing the details of that particular ID.
I want to generate a pdf report for all Id's for a particular year rather than selecting each Id.
How to do it?
thanks,
Ven.

Ven,
Your where clause should look something like this:
AND ( :px_id = '%null%'
OR id_code LIKE '%' || :px_id|| '%'
Your LOV for the id item should have Yes selected on Display Null and Null display value should have something like -- All Ids --

Report Builder 10 Crashing while generating to pdf

I can get a report to show all the pages in previewer mode.
However, when attempting to generate to pdf, report builder crashes at random times. Not at just one page, but whenever it feels like it.
Report is 4,000 pages, but I've ran 15k page to pdf before. And it is NOT the report, it crashes on all reports.
We've had some recent windows security updates pused to us recently, but that is it as far as system changes go.
Environment:
Win XP, SP3
Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.7.0 - 64bit Production

Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2That is the base version of Developer Suite that you can download on OTN. I would at least start with upgrading to the latest patch, especially since you connect to an 11g database.
Another thing: do you have this problem in Reports Builder, or on the application server? Latter case: check your AS version against the certification matrix too.

Generating a PDF and then Email it from the report server.....

All,
This is my first post on this forum and I have the following question.....
Please note I am not a DB expert nor a reporting expert but I have done my fair share of reporting using Oracle DB with Oracle Reports or Hyperion.
I have a report that will be posted to the report server that a user can go out and run at there convenience.
As a side note we have recently migrated our Database from ORACLE 8i to 10G and the report was created using Oracle ReportBuilder 10.1.
This report was also mimicked by a Oracle package and emailed out through I believe some PL SQL(?). This is a plain text report in the email.
As I recently did some big changes to the Original report they want this email report to match as well.
Well After looking at what they want in the email its basically the exact same thing as the version the user would see on the web. This seems like a waste of time for myself to edit this Package (For the email report - plaint text) and to have a oracle report available on the web server not to mention the DB dealing with the PLSQL..
So I am asking is there a way to set up Oracle reports to mail a generated PDF or a HTML results file out from the reporting server at a specified time?
If so how is this accomplished?
I see that in the help file in Report Builder that you can set rwbuilder.conf file with the SMTP server but how do I set the email address and the time to run the report.
Thanks for all the help,
Chris

Hello,
Maybe I am not understanding something but we have a reporting server where they basically select the report in a drop down web control and they fill in the necessary parameters and then the report is ran.
The web links refer to report builder and how to email from it. I am in a web environment that they select the report and its ran. Is this web form a standard product with Oracle for reporting?
I have seen how to do accomplish my task from the command line. Is this another way of accomplishing this task?
I think what I am also looking for is a confirmation that what I want to do is possible and that someone has accomplished this task before.
Thanks,
Chris

Hi,
If you have placed your .jrxml file say in C:\reports, and when you use compileReportToFile(jrxmlFileName), then the jasper file will be created in the same directory C:\report with the same file name with .jasper extension. If you want a pdf report then specify the same location and file name with '.pdf' extension as destination .
Hope this helps

I generate file (PDF, HTML, etc) the report is empty but I run in paper

Hi
I use oracle Report10g
When I generate file (PDF, HTML, etc) the report is empty but I run in paper design show data, the report in the paper design show many pages, when generate file show only the information of the margin in the main seccion and the body is empty,
Thanks

Thanks Daniel for pointing that out. Though you answer is helpful but I am not sure if that is what I would want to do.
The link you provide for csv says "For each report there's an _report.xdo file that contains the XML structure of the report... " It suggests I modify the .xdo file for each report. I currently have 16 reports.
Does it mean I modify the .xdo file for all 16 and what happens if someone creates a 17th report ?
Also, what if I run the same report using different input parameters will that change the xml structure for the report and therefore will need me to modify the .xdo again ? (I think it should not change the xml structure so the answer should be "NO" to that, unless I change the structure of the report).
Finally, the link you provide says after doing what it suggest "Now log back into BI publisher and select the report. You should now be able to see that CSV is now an option."
CSV should be an option where ? on what screen/page ? Maybe PDF is already an option for me that I cant see because I do not know where that option is.
I was hoping there would be something I could do on the xdo_metadata sheet (in the data constraints section or elsewhere) OR in BI Publisher itself as some property of the report.
I will try out what you suggest any ways.

Problems with a report generated as PDF

I am having a problem with my report when it is generated as a PDF file from the reports server. A space is added soon after the letter w in all the words where there is letter w; for example, the word awake appears as aw ke, will appears as w ill, etc. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I am using Reports 11g. Thanks.

Hi
In layout change the font (Redo font) thru menu option (Not Font) Format -> Font >Western.
This may solve your problem...
