How to get an effective EXCEL Spreadsheet as output for Oracle report 10g

Hi All,
I am a newbie in Oracle reporting. I am using 10g. I have an oracle report whose output format is PDF from the user interface. User asked for Spreadsheet output. I changed the JAVA CODE "desformat" = Spreadsheet and got the report in Excel. But this report is not as expected as it has many blank cells, misplacements etc and looks really ugly. so Is there anyway to get an excellent spreadsheet as output.
If anybody needs any more information on this, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much Marwim. Your suggestion is very helpful. But I have some other Oracle reports which have only one .rdf file giving output in both pdf and Excel. This doubt might be silly. Almost same features were existing for the rdf what I am working now. For the remaining reports, it was given that DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET , what this report lacks. I googled and found these links http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13895_01/orbr_paptoexcel.htm &
http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13895_01/orbr_paptoexcel.htm#CIHFDJAJ . But they are not intended for excel output. they generate only web layout in spreadsheet form. Could you please suggest any other ways to achieve this.
Thank you in advacne.

Hi,
Using Oracle Application Server the standard way for a client to request a report is via a HTTP request. This doesn't really lend itself to use directly on a command line on a client however you could use the following:
explorer "http://your_server/reports/rwservlet?report=report_name.rdf&userid=userid/password@db_sid&paramform=no&destype=FILE&desname=c:\temp\filename.pdf&desformat=pdf"
This will load explorer and submit that URL for you and request the report. You can change the parameters depending on the report output you require.
If you need something that is silent (ie doesn't load in explorer) you'll need to investigate other ways of submitting that URL request, perhaps using Java. You could also use SRW.run_report (Event Driven Publishing) to submit the request using SQL.
Cheers,
Toby.

OCI for Oracle Reports

Does anyone know if an OCI for Oracle Reports is available for Pro C/C++? If so where is it documented and how is it used?
Thanks,

Oracle7 for windows and OracleClient7 (oci.h, oci.o and others) for linux ?That would imply a really old version of windows (db side) and linux based os (client side). Perhaps SCO Unix was the only certified combination back then.
You should talk to someone who can verify platform/system requirements.
For the client side you might want to consider using a later Client release, a more recent old version (e.g. 8.1.7) that could talk to a Oracle7 server and work on your linux platform. There's a interoperability matrix on Metalink/MOS.

Can we add Basic Authentication for Oracle Report 10g?

As we know, Apache supports basic Authentication, and Oracle Report 10g bases on Apache, that means Oracle Report 10g supports Basic Authentication too?
Can anyone tell me the steps on how to configure Basic Authentication for Oracle Report 10g?
Thanks for your help in Advance!
P.S.
I tried to add the following content to the file "httpd.conf" under the directory "E:\OraHome_2\Apache\Apache\conf\" (I installed report under this folder), but it doesn't work well:
<Directory "E:\OraHome_2\Apache\Apache\htdocs">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Private Documentation Repository"
AuthUserFile "C:\Program Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\mypasswd"
Require user yangsun
</Directory>

How to use LIKE function with a parameter in Oracle REPORT builder??

how could i use parameter inside a LIKE function in Oracle reports builder?
it works in SQL plus, but not in report builder!!
Example:
select code,desc from item_master where desc
like '%&give_desc%'; ---works in SQL
like '%:give_desc%' ---doesn't work in report builder!!

Hi Renil,
You will need to use the wildcard character (%) and the concatenation character (||) to join to your user parameter.
i.e. like '%'||:give_desc||'%'

QMF used for Oracle report

QMF is tool for DB2 database reports , Can we use this for oracle db reprots? If yes how we can connect QMF with oracle db for reprot generation?

Hi All,
I found Solution for my question
1) Why is there a limit? Why specifically 2 GB?
The 32-bit file handling API used in Reports uses a signed long integer for
addressing into any Operating System file. A signed long integer cannot hold
a value bigger than +2 GB (hex 7FFF,FFFF or decimal 2,147,483,647).
2) Why can Oracle not use 64 bit API calls to fix this, e.g. _lseeki64 on
MS Windows 2000?
_lseeki64 is not available on 32bit Unix Operating Systems, and is therefore
not used. In any case the internals of Reports is built around a signed long
integer as explained already. To make such a change even if _lseeki64 was
available on all 32bit platforms would introduce too big a risk on the
stability of the product.
3) Why can Oracle not just use multiple files of 2gb or smaller, as opposed
to 1 file bigger than 2 GB, for temporary storage?
Oracle has investigated this in the past, and found a negative performance
impact. It is not a trivial change to make, and to maintain performance and
product stability at the same time would indicate a much bigger re-engineering
effort.
4) How does one work around this issue?
Produce several smaller reports as opposed to one monolithic one. This is
generally done by breaking up the run based on parameters. It is a sound
idea to do this in any case, as any failure would mean that the whole
report needs to be rerun. When this happens, it is less of a headache to
rerun a smaller parameterised report.
5) What future plans are there to address this?
Note that our development group has indicated that this is not something
that they hear much about. It would seem that most users follow the
methodology as discussed above.
Thanks,
Bhanu Chander

Sum function do not work in oracle reports enhanced spreadsheet format

we are using oracle reports 10.1.2.3 in our oracle application server 10gr2 and we are creating enhanced spreed sheet.And the report opens in MS excel fine.But we can not apply any formula like VALUE,SUM,AVG on that report after opening it into excel.First we thought that it may be because of the comma in the number filed.we removed that comma from the filed but t still gives the error "Error in value"

Hi,
I hope you already solved this problem, I had the same issue after spending an hour I found the workaround, this is just for the guys who experience the same issue. Try to format your number columns either at database level(not via Report builder property palette) with TO_CHAR(...) OR use this Format Mask at Report level to format your numbers -NNNGNNNGNN0D000(negative sign must be there to avoid space in output Excel).
Hope it helps,
