WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT . Publish reports character mode directly within browser!

hello!
I'm having the problem.
When I want to publish reports character mode directly within browser!
The code is as follows!
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_DESTYPE, FILE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_DESFORMAT, '');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_SERVER, server );
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(reportFile,mparamlist_id);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
     if rep_status = 'FINISHED' then
        vjob_id :=substr(v_rep,length(server)+2,length(v_rep));
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('../reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||vjob_id||'?server='||server,'_blank');
     else
message('Fail to create Report!');
     end if;
The report is generated,
But it does not open directly in browser!
The browser will download a file without extension / format, with the name 'getjobid38'!
When I change the code to 'TXT'
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('../reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||vjob_id||'.txt?server='||servidor,'_blank');
The following error is returned:
rep-50003 the command line is invalid: getjobid38.txt
Already grateful!

Reports Character Mode Previewer Fonts

Hi,
We design a character mode report to print on a matrix
printer.(Reports 2.5)
According to documentation, when we set
report properties->Character Mode->Report Width-Height
reports previewer chooses a suitable font at previewer.
This font is usually hard to read at first. Especially,
when width/height is large like 132*66. On every run,
user has to use the magnifiaction tools. But, in some
of the PCs, Reports can choose a suitable font that is
readable, due to different font settings of the PCs.
Is there a way to change the deafult font chosen by the
previewer on character mode reports?*
* Changing the font at layout editor is useless.
Have a nice day.

Oracle Reports(Character Mode) issue with 17 CPI ---URGENT

Hi,
I am in-process of Character Mode report development for Purchase order. Report is working perfectly with Font Courier and 10CPI. Now Client wants report with 17 CPI; when I changed the setup at printer level to 17CPI; my report content got shrink-ed to 50%. I tried to change the main section width in report builder from 80 to 102 and stretch the fields but no effects to output.
Please suggest me the correct approach to get output as per pre-printed stationary in 17 CPI.
Regards,
Shishir

when I changed the setup at printer level to 17CPI; my report content got shrink-ed to 50%. I tried to change the main section width in report builder from 80 to 102 and stretch the fields but no effects to output. What are the steps you followed to change this setup?
Did you modify the initialization string in the printer driver as mentioned in these docs? Did you bounce the CM after doing the necessary changes?

Try to enlarge items in repeating frame, experiment with the ruler setings and if it doesn't work, try to redesign layout ie.
delete current and make a new layout in character mode design.

Run Character mode reports in Menu/forms.

Hi,
we are using ora-dev-suite 10g and trying to Run Character mode reports in Menu/forms and output ascii text or pdf files generated and saved in local/client PC's.
report when run through report builder, it is ok.
But we are not able to run these reports through menus/forms. can we run these reports using background report engine on a click of button.
pl.guide us.
thanks.

Hello,
You can put a variable in your default.env file like SERVER_URL http://<yourserver>:<yourport> and then retrieve it in forms with the tool_env.getvar package
declare v_server_url varchar2(100);
begin
tool_env.getvar(SERVER_URL,v_server_url);
/* then launch your report */
web.show_document(v_server_url||'/reports/rwservlet?yourparameters.....');
end;So if you deploy your form in server 1 or 2 you only have to change the value in the default.env file according to the server you use.
Hope this helps.

6i character mode report migrate to 11g , printing result were incorrect in the same matrix printer?

Hi All
We got stuck when our 6i character mode report migrate to 11g.
We use the same PC to test, when run 6i report(character mode with 200 column) in legacy system, report result were correct in our matrix printer ,
When running in 11g, if we directly print report via report builder (without preview), result were correct.
But running report via preview/screen mode, printing result were incorrect ( not 200 column width).
We try to adjust PC's printer/paper setting , but our-defined printing option never appeared in printer dialog.
Is anything(config or some setting) we forgot to do in this situation ?
Thanks for all your patient response!

Character Mode ASCII Distribution

Hi,
I have a distribution report, Character Mode, ASCII format, that I can run without any problems from Report Builder, but the output is wrapping after what appears to be 80 characters, how do I make this wider? I've set my Main Section -> Character Mode -> Report Width to 190 without any change.
Thanks,
Lena Lafond

In the Layout Model, Header Section or Main Section or Trailer Section's properties according to which section you are referring to.
I think this is new with Reports 6i.

WEB.show_document in Browser Tab Pages

Hi
This problem occurs in IE7 which makes use of tab pages on the web browser. I'm using forms 10g, web.show_document(v_url, '_BLANK') to pop up a browser window in IE to display a PDF file residing on the App Server.
The new browser window pops up in IE and displays the pdf document fine. The window title and address bar contain the correct url (a rather long one). The problem I have is that the browser tab page is labelled "Error" which immediately causes concerns amongst the users. I'm not sure if it does this because it does not know what to label the tab page or if the URL is perhaps too long.
Is there any way to rename / relabel the tab page or set the name or alias somewhere? I'll appreciate any advice on the issue...
Regards
Mario

Hi,
With web.show_document() you could call a html page that call your php page with POST().

Web.Show_document and oracle session

Hi,
I am uploading a file on to Oracle Portal through web util. After this, I am calling the web.showdocument to view the uploaded file. But I am seeing only a blank page. This is the sequence flow.
1. Forms call a procedure which will create a dummy record of the document to be uploaded. This insert is happening as an autonomous transaction.
2. The Forms call webutil and uploads the document
3. Then I am calling web.show_document to view the document. The browser is opening an empty page. But once I did an explicit commit, I can open and view the document successfully in the same way.
I am using '_blank' option.
So, what I infer from this is that web.show_document opens the browser with a new oracle session by passing authentication details internally. Is there any way view the document without doing an explicit commit?
Thank you.
Warm Regards,
Raja.

Rep-3002 while calling report from form in character mode on web environment

When I call a report by using run_product from a form , i get rep-3002. my report is in character mode. if i change it to bitmap that works fine. but my requirement is of character mode on web environment.
please help.

Hello,
If you are running in WinNT/2000 environment, the NT/2000 user which runs the Report Server service must have a printer defined. In the control panel, look at the properties for the Report Server to see what user it runs as. Log in as that user and make sure a default printer is defined.

Hi,
I am new to Report builder, I have developed character mode report on client server mode, It is working fine, and fast printing.
Please tell me this report can i run on web using report server with same speed of printing?

To run the reports in character mode in web architecture, you need to provide "mode=character" cmd line parameters in the url request. Make sure the report you run is designed for character mode.

Character mode reports on web

hi,
can anybody please tell me how to deploy character mode reports on web using reports 6i and webdb as web server.i get some printer error when i try to do this
regards
mayuri

Hi,
There are two ways you can print it. When you set the DES_TYPE system parameter to PRINTER, then that report gets printed on the Application Server. And If you use the Browser's print... feature, then that report gets printed on the Printer connnected to browser machine.
For further information, please check the help.

REP-1352 when running web reports in character mode on linux server

Hi
After migration from 6i to 10g we have problems when we run reports in character mode on a linux (Red Hat Enterprise 4) application server (10.1.2.0.2).
The error REP-1352 occurs with any NLS_LANG or report's font setup. Original report's font is Courier New (Occidental) and NLS_LANG=FRENCH_FRANCE.WE8ISO8859P1.
I created a new simple report in character mode with font Courier New and it is generated successfully.
Witch migration step could I apply to avoid this error ?
Thanks in advance.

I didn't precise that reports failed to be executed with desformat=delimited but succeded with desformat=pdf.
Why Reports server on linux is unable to generate a full text report but can generate a pdf report ?
