6i Reports Vs 9iAS Report Services

Hi All,
what is the difference in using the 6i reports and 9iAS Reporting services, as i know that invoking 6i report takes more system resources, will this problem can be resolved by 9iAS Reprot servvices or not, if so how and if not what i have to check for the other alternatives in ORacle for report designing as my project has 1000+ reports.

Hi,
I am not clear about what are you planning to do with psp, are you going to impliment your reports with it or your forms or both.
I'll assume that your comparing reports with psp in this mail.
I am not sure where did you get the notion that psp is faster.
If we compare psp and reports, then both send the sql queries for execution in the DB the same way(this is usually the part that consumes most time). psp will then use the db to do the formating of the report, where reports will use the reports server on the middle tier to do that.
The question of preformance here depends on the platfom they are executing on.
I would suggest a different aproach when comapring the option.
Think about developing a report that is a little more complex then just a table layout.
something like a matrix report or a break report with summaries.
To do this layout and calculation using pl/sql (psp) will take a lot of coding while in reports you do this in a graphical environment.
I think that developing the reports in oracle reports will prove to be more productive. and I also think that you'll be pleasently surprise with the preformance of the reports server.
also remember that reports give you other formats like pdf,csv,RTF that you can't achieve with psp.
I suggest that in order to decide, you pick two or three reports from your 1000 and try to impliment them in both way and see which works best for you.
good luck,
shay

    You should read on reports server (which is the report service in 9iAS) on otn report section. otn.oracle.com/products/reports.
    This basically let you run reports on the server and not on the client and thus saves you client resources.

  • Custom reports engine in 9iAS reports services

    Hi,
    Has anyone built a custom engine with 9iAS reports services and got it to work? The document "Oracle9iAS Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web" suggests to look for API documentation on OTN, but so far I have not been able to find any documentation on developing a custom engine.
    Any suggestions/pointers will be greatly appreciated.

  • How to Download Solaris Version of 9iAs Report services...

    Hello all..,
    I am facing problem while downloading 9iAS Reports services Solaris verion. While downloading File segments , it is getting saved as text documents... (Or is it supposed to be saved as text document..?)
    With the first option (savin as .cpio file) there is a problem . The file (.cpio) is very big file and we are not able to download it at a single strech... So can't go with this option...
    Please any body can u please tell any work around.....?
    Regards
    -Raj.

    I don't know whether it's supposed to be saved as text documents, alhough it's possible that you're download uuencoded files that are concatenated together and uudecoded by the unpack script.
    However, you may be able to use an ftp manager to do the download. Tools like Windows Commander (http://www.ghisler.com/) have the ability to pick up and resume aborted ftp sessions, so you may want to check this out.
    Hope this helps,

  • Oracle 9ias Reports within Portal

    We have published several Oracle Reports to Portal by configuring Reports 9ias Reports Services and then by registering the Reports Server and Reports Definition Files within portal, this works as expected.
    However, several of our Oracle reports point to another oracle database server, when these are run from within portal an exception is raised (REP-1202: ORACLE logon not specified). I can only assume that this is because the Oracle Reports run from within Portal are unable to connect to the external data source. Our existing portal reports connect work OK using a db link. Does anybody know a way to overcome this problem? We were thinking about Single Sign On or do we have to modify the portal PL-SQL package to provide a connection string for each Oracle Report?
    Cheers
    Dan

    How did you try to connect to the remote DB?
    Create a TNS entry on the node where your reports server runs, and specify it in the "userid" parameter: scott/tiger@myRemoteDB.

  • Unable to view Report Filters on Excel Services web part

    I have an Excel 2010 file with Pivot Charts. I want users to be able to select filters for the pivot charts to modify their chart/report as needed.
    This excel file with Pivot Charts is visualized using Excel Services Web Part on SharePoint 2010.
    My problem: The Pivot Chart Filters do not appear on SharePoint. They are available when the file is opened in Excel 2010.
    Is there a way to have chart/report filters show up on SharePoint (excel services web part)?

    As per the article below it seems that Pivot Chart Filtering is not available with Excel services. The article reads
    "PivotChart reports are not interactive when displayed in a browser. You cannot filter a PivotChart report directly, but if you interact
    with the PivotTable report that supplies data for the PivotChart report, the PivotChart report updates accordingly. This means if you filter the PivotTable report, the PivotChart report updates to show the filtered data set."
    Unsupported Features in Excel Services
    Though this article is for MOSS 2007 but if you read the following article for SP 2010 it reads "All other unsupported features continue
    to behave as they do in Office SharePoint Server 2007 for Excel Services."

  • Report in HTML web service... unnecessarity tags added

    My requirement is to generate a report in html format in sap and get it through a  web service.
    I need to invoke a sap web service which executes a report function and returns the report in HTML format.
    I am using an RFC BAPI which uses WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT function to convert report to html.
    The problem is when the RFC is returning xml data with the html extra data is also being sent which are not of UTF8 charset format but windows-1252 charset.
    So I am unable to parse that xml.
    The extra tags added are <LIST_PAGES>...</LIST_PAGES>, <HYPER_TAGS>...</HYPER_TAGS>, <XFORMAT_DESCRIPTION>...</XFORMAT_DESCRIPTION>. I think these are being added by WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT function.
    I don't want these tags to be sent... how can I solve it.
    I hope the question is clear... Please try to help me.
    Thank you.

    I managed to test the web service working from another APEX environment.
    Then I created Form and Report on Web Service page but when I tried to Submit the page to get the report filled with web service, it gave me this error:
    ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node

  • Report that uses web services as data source, prompts for database logon

    I have a crystal report that uses web services as a data source. When I deploy the report to Infoview it prompts me for a database username and password. Since I am not using a database it should not prompt me for these. I tried various options in the CMC->database settings for this report but it still prompts me for the database logon info or tells me that the database logon information is incorrect.
    The report work fine in the Crystal Reports Designer.
    Does anyone know how I can prevent this report from prompting me for the database logon info ?
    Thanks,

    What options have you tried in the CMC?
    Have you tried running the report in Crystal Reports installed directly on the Enterprise machine?

  • Deploying a custom reporting provider in Oracle Service Bus

    Hi All,
    I am new to OSB. From the reporting documentation I understand that we can register a custom reporting provider which will be called by the Report actions in the service bus. I have written a reporting handler which implements "com.bea.wli.reporting.ReportingDataHandler" and a listener class which extends "weblogic.application.ApplicationLifecycleListener" class. In the listener class I register my report handler class with the ReportingDataManager.
    I understand that the listener class has to packaged and deployed in the WLS. Can someone help me explaining how this should be done.
    I tried deploying it as a jar but my tests do not reveal that the Report action in OSB did call my report handler. I have followed the instructions as given in http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs90/programming/lifecycle.html yet I am not successful. I have also disabled the default JMS reporting provider.
    What needs to be done after deploying the listener? How does the OSB make use of the new listener?
    Any pointers in right direction will help me a lot.
    Thanks,
    Abarajithan.
    Edited by: user5120225 on 27-May-2009 21:00

    What needs to be done after deploying the listener? How does the OSB make use of the new listener?Did you enable reporting in your application/OSB? operational settings for the proxy contains check box (in sbconsole) Reports which should be enabled
    and also we have to put reporting action in our pipeline. Is the reporting provider not receiving events/reports even after this ?

  • How to call an Oracle Report from a Self Service HR page.

    Is there a better approach to do this, please post your suggestions. Also If you can direct me to some usefull documentation that will be great.

    Tapash,
    Thanks for reponding.
    Here is the URL I am currently using :
    https://gccss.glendale.edu:8001/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=rep60_crp3+userid=apps/pswd@crp3+report=/u07/oracle/crp3appl/gcccus/11.5.0/reports/US/GCC_ACCRUAL_BAL_0505.rdf+desformat=html+paramform=yes+destype=cache+p_accesscode=""
    The p_accesscode is the parameter I need to pass to the Oracle report.
    Currently, when I click the button, it invokes the above URL and takes me to the parameter form of the Oracle report and when I enter the Username, it runs the report and displays the desired output. But, what I need to achieve is, to pass the current user who has logged in behind the scene and to get rid of the parameter screen totally. Is this doable ? If yes, please help me !!!

    Hi Lyle,
    Please refer the section "Restrictions with Generating Historical Reports" in the below UCCX release notes.

    CSCtj96987 : Reports unable to generate large set of records bcz of tmp dbspace limit
    Defect Description:
    Customers are unable to generate HR reports for a larger duration because of a limitation set based on first 10k records in CCD table. Many customers require to generate reports for a complete month which they are unable to do now in 8.x
    affected reports are :
    Abandoned Call Detail
    Aborted Rejected Call Detail
    Agent Detail
    Agent Login Logout
    Agent State Detail
    Detailed Call by Call CCDR
    Detailed Call CSQ Agent
    Additional Info
    1.     Customer may get runtime error if the temp dbspace gets full. HRC log will state clearly that the system ran out of disk space. This will happen if the customer is running reports for a very large set of data or running large number of simultaneous HR sessions involving considerable amount of data.
    2.     The temp dbspace is fixed at 2GB and cannot grow automatically when required. So, if the space is filled completely, HR reports will error out. The temp dbspace will be freed when the session ends. So, If you get run time error anytime, please restart HRC and try to generate report for a smaller period of time.
    3.     It is recommended to generate reports approximately upto 200,000 rows when a single session is running to avoid getting run time errors. If multiple sessions are running, modify the figure accordingly.
    4.     If the customer is running a single node setup, it is highly recommended to generate reports in the off-peak hours.
    Fixed in :
    8.0(2)SU2,  8.5(1)SU2,  9.0(1)
    You can think of upgrading your UCCX system to the above releases for this issue fix.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    The message box don't work on the web because it is of windowform box. Based on your further description, you might want to do the date parameter validation. If so, there is common way to do this:(assume the date parameter value inputed can't be less than 2007)
    1) Intert a textbox and input the message used to show the end users if they input a invalidated date value for the parameter, and then set the textbox's hidden property to =iif(Year(Parameters!myPrameter.value) < 2007,false, true)
    2) Insert a Rectangle control below the textbox created in step 1, and put all report items in it and set the Rectangle's hidden property to =IIF(Year(Parameters!myParameter.value)<2007,true,false)
    After these, if the end users input the date value can meet the project requirement, the report will show the data the end users want, otherwise, the end users will see the error textbox to tell them the parameter value is incorrect.
    Hope this help,
    thanks,
    Jerry
