10g Report Writer-?

Please tell me if the 10g DB has a Report Writer?
I'm just getting my feet wet & I cannot find this info (probably because it obvious to most) and need to know if we can go forward using the 10g DB?
Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your response, but I seem to be missing a few pieces.
I guess that is 'report writer', lower case as I am not familiar with the app of 10 years ago.
But I am confused by your reference to a Suite, I am using the free 10g - starter/hobbyist/small business version. - Is that considered the 'Developer's Suite'?
To clarify my question: I need to know if this gift from Oracle will satisfy my client's needs. - Will it generate a report?
Thanks again,

  • 10g Report to file causes unix permission problems

    I'm in the process of testing out one of the new options of 10g reports to have a report run from the command line and have the results file sent to a Unix directory for further use.
    Here is a sample of my run:
    http://myserver:port/reports/rwservlet?server=myreport_server+report=myreport.rep+userid=userid/pswd/@db+desformat=pdf+destype=file+desname=/tmp/my_report.pdf
    The results I see in the Unix directory are:
    rw-r--- 1 oracle dba my_report.pdf
    With the Unix permission set to 640, how does a user outside of the owner or group read this file. Is there a setting in a 10g environment variable somewhere to set the permissions to 644 so others can read the file?
    Thanks,
    Tom Vereecke

    Unfortunately i couldn't open your example as i only have LV 6.0, but i looked at the 'Save report to File.vi' in LV 6.0 and it basically only contains a 'Write characters to file.vi' for file handling. In LV 6.0 this vi does contain a 'Close file+.vi' which has an input called 'close when? (now:T)'. Make sure this is wired as True (default) and the file will close, and you should be able to delete the file (as long as the delete event occurs afterwards (make sure it is wired in sequence). In the LV help, it says the reason for the 'Write characters to file.vi' only closing if you tell it to (set as default) or if there is an error is so you can continually use it in a loop, writing characters to file, without closing, and then send a command to close
    it only on the last loop, or if there is an error. Therefore i dont think it is a bug, but i think there should be a wire for it on the 'Write characters to file.vi'.
    I hope this helps you..

  • Sorting in 6i and 10g reports

    Hello All,
    I am running 6i and 10g reports against a 10g database.
    I ran one of the 6i report and it generated a report in one sorting ordear
    and when i ran the same report on 10g ,it generated the report in ddifferent order.
    Both the reports r run against the same 10g database.
    The order by clause on the columns of the records r identical.
    Now i wanted to understand how it is sorting in different orders in both 6i and 10g reports?
    Thanks,
    Ranz

    Hi,
    Please note the fact that 6i Reports is not certified to work with 10g Database. Hence it becomes impossible to address the sorting behavior of 6i Reports, though there is nothing different in the way it works. I would suggest you to use 10gR2 version of Reports services with 10g Database which is certified and supported. Thanks for your understanding.

  • Error generating report in Report writer (GR214, short dump)

    Hello
    We are making a report in GGR2. When generating the report group, we have dump with error:
    Short text of error message:
    Internal error.: SAPMGRW2, Include: MGRW2F20, FORM: GEN_DATAFI
    ELD.
    Long text of error message:
    Technical information about the message:
    Message class....... "GR"
    Number.............. 214
    Variable 1.......... "SAPMGRW2"
    Variable 2.......... "MGRW2F20"
    Variable 3.......... "GEN_DATAFIELD"
    Variable 4.......... " "
    I have generated as well via GR52 with the same result.
    The report i try to generate has about 500 lines, uses a number of existing sets and has simple formulas in it. When i restrict the number of rows to say 400 I donu2019t have the issue. Is there a restriction to rows in report writer?
    Thanks for your help
    Kai

    Hi,
    The error you are receiving could be caused by a large number of row blocks in your report definition, (you can check the report definition with report RGRRDC00). A report should not contain too many row and column blocks. It is not possible to give an upper bound for the number of row blocks (since the length of the coding depends on other parts of the report as well). However, even a complicated Report Writer or Report Painter report should not contain more than 50 row blocks, and reports with more than 100 row blocks should not be defined.
    In this case the report(s) have to be redefined. Please also refer to the note 387916 for further information regarding this issue.
    When there are more than 30 variables in a report, please have a look at the note 332091.
    Please reduce the number of row blocks in the report by using the function 'Edit' -> 'Rows' -> 'Explode' in the Report Painter
    definition. This function enables several rows to be created for one row block (in the Report Painter definition one row block is just one row). Report Painter (and Report Writer) are designed to display hierarchical reports where the rows in the few row blocks are built up using the 'Explode' function.

  • Report Writer Excel integration

    I have a serious issue here that I am unable to resolve in report writer or painter.
    I want the report to export to excel with some formatting.
    The formatting that I want is that.
    My report has 1 row of profit center which is variablized for user selection, when a user wants to see a report for a certain range of profit centers, he will enter that in the selection criteria, the report comes out looking fine how I want it but when I turn the excel integration on , I want all the profit centers that were selected in the selection screen to appear in a seperate tab in excel..
    So one tab per profit center chosen , How do i do that?
    please help, urgent.
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Use section option,
    Edit--- sections-New section (with profit center range).

  • From 6i to 10g "How to run a 10g report from OEM scheduler"

    We recently converted all of our 6i form and reports to 10g. We had forms and reports running as batch processes.
    Now that we are using 10g it is understood that we cannot run the forms as we did in 6i using OEM scheduler, so they were converted to scripts.
    Our problem still remains, How do we run 10g reports as batch processes?
    Can we use OEM scheduler?
    Is there a better product to accomplish this task?

    Hello,
    How do you execute your Reports ?
    Do you execute it from the Builder ?
    If you execute it from the Builder, do you use Run Web Layout or Run Paper Layout ?
    (If you have upgraded a Reports From 6i, there is no web layout , so you have to use the Run paper Layout
    The web layout is something new that appeared in Reports 9.0.2)

  • Reports Requirements using R12 and Oracle 10g Reports

    Hi All,
    Looking forward to some valuable inputs to propose a technical solution in R12 using 10g Reports Developer.
    Requirements are :
    1. Report output should be in Excel Format. ( Is this possible without XML Publisher using 10g Reports only )
    2. Report Parameters to have multi selection criteria. ( Is this possible in 10g Reports and Oracle Apps, Report Manager responsibility ?)

  • 10g Reports open blank tab in Firefox

    We're testing a 10g forms/reports application and the forms work fine in both IE and Firefox (Tested 6, 3.5 and 3.0 - same behavior) but when calling a 10g report from a form Firefox just opens a blank tab.
    No error message. Doing a View Source on the tab shows no code at all.
    The report opens fine (It's a PDF report so it either opens Acrobat within an IE tab, or in an stand-alone Acrobat window, depending on the Acrobat preferences) in Internet Explorer 6,7, and 8 but it's just Firefox where we're having this behavior.
    Any ideas?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • 10G Reports download in 11g

    Hello All
    I downloaded the sample reports for OIM in BI Publisher 10G but I want to use 11g based on better security capabilities. I was wondering if there is a way to import the 10g reports from the download into 11g? I found a couple documents on the ua.bat utility for upgrading repositories and catalogs, but I don't have a 10g install to copy any of the data from. Do you know if it is possible to install the 10g reports on the 11g server? I have the jdbc connection already setup, just need to get the report samples uploaded if possible. Any help you can give would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Nick

    Hello, I had the same question a while back. Response I got back from Oracle Support was that it's not possible to export a report from 10g and import into 11g. You either have to recreate the entire report or upgrade the repository.
    Seems a bit short sighted to me from a migration standpoint, but that's what I know.

  • 10g reports in html format have extra left margin

    I am using the same source .jsp file to create 2 html reports, one using 9i server and the other using 10g server. The report run on the 10g server has a double left margin compared with the report layout and the report run on 9i. When 10g report is printed it chops off the right side of the report. This only affects html output, rtf and pdf work fine.
    Is there any setting I can change in the report properties to stop this from happening?
    Thank You.

    I am running through a servlet with the URL http://our_server:7779/reports/rwservlet?server=reports_saints&report=...&destype=file&desformat=html...

  • Oracle XE and 10g reports

    Can this be done?
    have installed XE, and have been using HTML DB. I am wanting more control with my reports, and I am much better with 10g reports developer than the built in html db reports.
    I found this site, but I am stuck on "deploying the report" (#9/#10)
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html
    I coppied the rdf to $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo
    then I ran "Start OC4J Instance"
    But when I try to call the report in either firefox or IE like it tells me to, I can't get it to work. Page Cannot Be Found. (I replaced USER and PW too)
    http://menzoberranzan:8080/reports/rwservlet?module=Invoice.rdf&userid=USER/PW@xe&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
    Any suggestions as to how to do this without installing more on my computer, such as Oracle Application Server?

  • Modifications in Transaction  S_ALR_87013611( Report Writer )

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a Standard transaction S_ALR_87013611 which in turn calls the transaction KSB1.This former transaction is developed using report writer. The Issue is that when I give Cost Center Values twice in the selection screen with multiple values , I get two cost centre values with same number and the corresponding values are added.So I need to restrict the Cost Centre values in the selection screen to unique values.And for that I need to modify the report . So if anyone have ever worked with report writer or report painter, please tell how to modify the report and add our own coding as in the case of ABAP Query.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for not replying...I have found the solution myself

  • Error message in report writer when add new selection filed?

    Dear All,
    I wanna add a new selection field cost element group and cost element to a report in report writer. I key in GR52 and click the general data selection. I select the set variable &1KSTAR to enter into the set ID. But it shows me the following message:
    Set cannot be used in Selection:
    Message no. GR807
    Diagnosis
    You are trying to use a set in report maintenance.
    The set cannot be entered in the report definition for any of the dimensions for which the set could be used.
    The following error message describes why the set cannot be used for all the dimensions for which the set can be used.
    System Response
    The set will not be entered in report maintenance.
    Procedure
    Choose an appropriate set.
    What does it mean? I have tried other set variables but sitll gave the same message.
    Thank you and good day.
    Emma.

    At the same time, it gave me a green light message saying:
    Characteristic Cost Element is already used in a row
    Message no. GR465
    Diagnosis
    The characteristic Cost Element is already being used in a report row block and therefore cannot be used in a different part of the report.
    Technical note:  The field name for characteristic Cost Element is KSTAR.
    Does it mean I have used the cost element in the report and blocked the cost element so that I can't use it in the selection screen? How can I solve this by not changing the report or should I change the report?
    Thank you and good day
    Emma

  • Report Writer Issue

    Hi Gurus,
    I have created report ZTEPCA12 with report writer .When i check the syntex i am getting the error.
    The key figure cell ZTEPCA12 has not yet been defined
        Message no. GR687
    Can any one please tell me where do i need to define this.
    Thank in advance

    Hi,
    Go into GR32, select the report you have created in change mode.  Go to the columns, and view the key figure set.  In there you would have defined a set of key figures, which are basically value fields.
    The reason for the error could be that you have entered a key figure set there but not defined the set with the key figure fields or you would not have entered a key figure set in the report itself.
    Go into GS02 and enter the set name and include the key figures in the column From value from the table defined in the set.
    If the set does not exist then create a key figure set with key figures.
    Cheers.
