About oracle reports

I have question about oracle reports. I have 10 reports user has to run everyday. Is there any way user can run all these reports by pressing single button.
Thanks
VK

Hi,
In any of the report, in the 'Before report Trigger' add the following code to execute any number of reports.
srw.run_report('report=test1.rdf destype=file desformat=pdf desname=test1.pdf');
srw.run_report('report=test2.rdf destype=file desformat=pdf desname=test2.pdf');.....
Like this, you can add any number srw.run_report (this built-in package will run the report with the given parameters), so that you can able to run any number of reports by running a single report.
Thanks,

About Oracle Reports very urgent

can you pls explain me about what isOracle reportcaching,interactivereports and batched reports.

pls refer [     Publishing reports to web - 10G ]see link below
caching
reports o/p is cached in oh/reports/cache so that if later a report with same cmd line param is requested, the c ached report is returned.
interactive report
- didnt get fully. It may mean report with embedded links which in turn will submit request to run other reports and hence being interactive
batch reports
- submitting a number of reports in batches to reports server in batch mode (batch=yes) and potentially scheduled using schedule cmd line parameter.

Is there a way to call a SQL Program from an Oracle Report?

Morning friends. I had a question about Oracle Reports and them calling a SQL Program. Here is the problem at hand. I am hoping to not have to change the existing program a whole lot!
Currently, here is what is happening. I have a .sh file which calls the Oracle Report first and then goes on to call a .sql program. I am using Oracle Reports 10g and the call to run the report is RWCLIENT. This was earlier being called using RWRUN.
Because of certain issues of synchronicity with RWCLIENT, I am now looking to move the call to the .sql program to the Oracle Report (Ideally the AFTER_REPORT trigger). Is this possible?
The Oracle Report basically outputs a listing and the .sql program does a spool and creates a text file which is later used as attachment to the email and sent out to the person who submitted the Report.
Here is the shell script.
# Accept system input parameters
p_gradapp_user_id=$1
p_gradapp_job_id=$2
program_unit='GRAD001A'
rwrun.exe module=$GRADAPP_PATH/GRAD001A userid=$p_gradapp_user_id paramform=no desformat=$GRADAPP_PRINTER(GRAD001,1) destype=file desname=grad001-$p_job_id-1-1.lis p_gradapp_job_id=$p_gradapp_job_id p_gradapp_user_id=$p_gradapp_user_id batch=yes
exit_status=$?
program_unit='GRAD001B'
sqlplus.exe -s $p_gradapp_user_id @$GRADAPP_PATH/grad001b.sql $p_gradapp_user_id $p_gradapp_job_id
exit_status=$?
exit 0

If you are going to use rwclient try BACKGROUND=NO as an extra parameter:
background=NO: Runs the report synchronously. The client waits for the report to queue, be assigned to a runtime engine, run, and finish.

How to use oracle reports?

Hello, I succeed to install e-business suite and now I need to learn about oracle reports. Do I have to install it or it's already in the apps? If not, how do I install it? There isn't any oracle reports disk in the bundle I have. Thx.

Oracle reports installation into server

Hi,
We bought Oracle 10g to install in Solaris. The Sunguard database installer did not install Oracle 10g report into the server. How i could install only the oracle 10g reports into Solaris ?

What do you mean with Oracle 10g report? Are you talking about an Application Server install? Are you talking about Oracle reports from developer suite?

Oracle Reports setup in Portal

Hey
I just have a couple of questions about Oracle reports being run through Portal that I was looking for some help on. Here they are:
I am using the Reports Portlet Parameter Form (which includes the 'Parameters' and 'Schedule' tabs) build into Portal to run my oracle reports, but I was wondering if this is the recommend way to run my oracle reports in Poral or if there is something better?
A few users have asked me to remove/hide the 'schedule' tab on the parameter form, but I can't find a way to do that, do you know of a way?
And another thing I was asked is if we could create own parameter forms to run the reports, and I told them yes, but would that involve creating a new form for every report where the parameter list is different? I thought it would be, but I wanted to be sure first. And would these new manually created forms be easy to integrate into portal?
Thanks for your help.

Doubts about generating reports in Oracle

Hi,
I am Oracle DBA, but I need some instructions from you â oracle developers- related to how implement reports from Oracle 9i Application Server Enterprise built on Sun Solaris 9.
Nowadays, my client is using Oracle Reports Server that comes with Oracle 9i AS, but he wants to substitute the Oracle Reports Sever to another software (a cheaper one) so he will be able to decrease the Application Server Enterprise to a Standard edition.
The reports here are constructed under Oracle Reports, and these reports are accessed from a web application.
The flow here is:
The user requires the report in a web page from internet.
The user inputs the parameters in the web page.
So the client machine sends this to the apache server, that constructs the sql statement or calls a procedure stored in the database server.
The return happens in this same way until the user sees its report on the screen in a pdf format.
Now my client wants from me 2 or 3 detailed suggestions to substitute this architecture
that involves so many softwares and servers to a cheaper and simpler one. My target is to remove out the Report Server, and suggest other tools which can do the same.
So, as I am dba, can someone there help me please with any hint????
Thank you all,
Bye
PS: My client does not want to remove the Oracle Application Server and neither the Sun Operational System from the present architecture. These two will not changeâ¦.

Hello,
I'm also not an application developer, but I thinks it depends all on the complexity of the reports. If these are relatively simple, PL/SQL can do the work.
Concerning Java, I heard Oracle's JDeveloper is the right choice.
Some people say, if you are going to start a new project, don't think of Oracle Developer Suite (Forms/Reports), but use Java and JDeveloper.
You may even have a look on HTML DB

About using cursor expressions in Oracle Reports

I've just discovered a rather old syntax of the mighty select statement. It seems related to the concept of inline view or more precisely scalar view. It's the cursor syntax in a select statement.
Example:
select d.dname
,cursor(select e.empno,e.ename,sal
from scott.emp e
where e.deptno = d.deptno)
from scott.dept d
I have two questions:
1) Performance: how is the performance of this select in comparison to standard join?
2) Usage: I've use this from sqlplus and it's ok, but can't use it on a tool like Oracle Reports. Although the select statement is correctly processed, can't display it since the datatype is Database - Unknown ...
It seems there´s no way to use cursor expressions at least if datasource is a SQL Query.
Thanks in advance ....

I think you have answered your own question: CURSOR is not something you can display.

Problem about HTML reports gemerated by Oracle Report

We use Oracle Report to genereate Reports in HTML/CSS format.
Everthing is perfect if we make the report with less than 160 pages. Problems
come out when we have reports more than 159 pages. In Microsoft Internet
Explorer (5.0 or 5.5), it can show the content of page 1 to page 159 correctly.
But the content from page 160 onwards is displayed in a mess and words in
those pages (we don't have image, just text) overlap.
If we prview the print-out of the report, in IE 5.5, the format is a different
from what we want. Although we can print it out with format distorted, we can
only print from page 1 to 159 but not from page 160 tothe end.
With Netscape (4.76), we can open the report correctly(but using a longtime!).
When we try to print or preview it, the system shows no response and seems
crashed. We gave it up after two hours.
Does anyone have suggestions on that?

hello,
in my oppinion 160 pages is VERY long for a HTML document.
as both browsers have problems displaying the files, i would assume they simply can not handle such large files.
what you could to to check that, is to create the output to file and then remove the first 100 or so pages using a text editor and see if the pages that were screwed up before are now OK. if so, it is definitly a problem between the browsers and the filesize.

You can achieve "PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate" by passing "Introduction to Oracle9i SQL 1Z0-007" OR "Introduction to Oracle: SQL and PL/SQL 1Z0-001" OR "Oracle Database SQL Expert 1Z0-047".
For "Oracle Forms Developer Certified Professional", you need to pass "Oracle Forms: Build Internet Applications 1Z0-141" after getting the "PL/SQL Developer Certified Associate" certificate.

What do you NOT like about Oracle Portal?

Using a theme from a post on AskTom, I thought I would start one that details what customers don't like about Portal.
I've got a few:
PPE
When load balancing, it forces us to use NAT in the load balancer. Extra configuration, extra time, etc.
Java or MOD_PLSQL?
Mod_plsql has been around for a long time. It is robust and stable but a simple Dad for Portal is a mix of Java and Mod_plsql. It is not nearly as clean and stable as a mod_plsql application.
SSO
SSO should be part of the middle tier, not the Infrastructure. It just adds another hop and another thing to manage.
PTLConfig
ssoreg is for SSO registration of Partner applications. Easy enough. But wait, it doesn't work for Portal. You have to run ptlconfig for it.
SSL configuration
Wow, what a pain. A Java application or Mod_plsql application is easy to configure for SSL. Not true with Portal.
OC4J Portal In Process
Showing the status with opmnctl won't show in-process things like Portal. It can only be seen in OEM.
Explicit Path
In the HTML Portal generates, it has the full path to everything. I tried just changing the hostname in the httpd.conf file but that doesn't work either. We used setup.exe OUI_HOSTNAME= to change the host name of an install which works ok. When using multiple middle tiers, you have to use the real host name for each server and then use a VirtualHost all because Portal uses the full path instead of a relative path.
Migration of code
Portal doesn't really support the idea of multiple environments which every large company (which is a big part of Oracle's customer base) uses. Migrating a page group with all content from Test to QA isn't something built in like it should be.
I've got some more complaints about Forms, Reports, Discoverer, and SSO but this is just about opportunities for Portal.

heh. why so negative?
what about a thread about what you LIKE about Portal :-)

Editable fields in oracle report

Hi,
I am hoping someone can help what I am trying to create is a PDF oracle report with an editable field at the end of the report. The user would use this field to type comments about the report and then save the file with the comments attached.
I did a search but couldn't really find anything relevant apart from this thread here: Re: How to add to report in pdf format editable fields but it looks like that was never answered.
Users have access to Adobe Acrobat so an alternative solution could be just to create a rectangle and tell the users to write in that but it is not an ideal solution.
If it is not possible in oracle reports we are also licensed for BI Publisher but as of yet I haven't been able to find anything that would do this using that tool either.
Regards,
Chad

with an editable field at the end of the report.In Reports the user cannot add text after generation of the report. So, do it before generating the report. Add a parameter p_comment to the data model and add this to the parameter form (or whatever form you use to call the report, e.g. from Forms) and create a text field at the end of the report.

Problem calling XML Report Publisher from Oracle Reports

Hi,
I'm facing a problem in calling XML Report Publisher from Oracle Reports.
Basically, I'm trying to customise Dunning Letter program. The program which is submitted calls another program. I have customised the second program and added a call to a stored procedure which in turn calls XML Report Publisher.I have created a template and attached it to the second program as well.
The procedure code is as follows.
v_request_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST(application => 'AR'
,program => 'ARDLP_NON_SRS'
,description => 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate'
,sub_request => FALSE
l_status := fnd_concurrent.WAIT_FOR_REQUEST
( REQUEST_ID => v_request_id,
INTERVAL => 15,
MAX_WAIT => 180,
PHASE => l_phase,
STATUS => l_status_code,
DEV_PHASE => l_dev_phase,
DEV_STATUS => l_dev_status,
MESSAGE => l_message );
v_xml_req_id := FND_REQUEST.submit_request(application => 'XDO',
program => 'XDOREPPB',
          argument1 => v_request_id,
argument2 => 'FLS DE AR Dunning Letter Print - German',
argument3 => 603, -- changed 665 -- was 551,
argument4     => NULL,
argument5 => 'N',
argument6     => 'RTF',
          argument7     => 'PDF');
Now, there are two problems I'm facing...
1. when the second program('Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate') gets called it executes this procedure ... logically the 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate' should get called twice ... second time from the procedure. Its getting called multiple times .. as many as 15 - 20 times.
2. The Xml Report Publisher program ultimately gets called but its erroring out with the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: No corresponding LOB data found :SELECT L.FILE_DATA FILE_DATA, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(L.FILE_DATA) FILE_LENGTH, L.LANGUAGE LANGUAGE, L.TERRITORY TERRITORY, B.DEFAULT_LANGUAGE DEFAULT_LANGUAGE, B.DEFAULT_TERRITORY DEFAULT_TERRITORY,B.TEMPLATE_TYPE_CODE TEMPLATE_TYPE_CODE, B.USE_ALIAS_TABLE USE_ALIAS_TABLE, B.START_DATE START_DATE, B.END_DATE END_DATE, B.TEMPLATE_STATUS TEMPLATE_STATUS, B.USE_ALIAS_TABLE USE_ALIAS_TABLE, B.DS_APP_SHORT_NAME DS_APP_SHORT_NAME, B.DATA_SOURCE_CODE DATA_SOURCE_CODE, L.LOB_TYPE LOB_TYPE FROM XDO_LOBS L, XDO_TEMPLATES_B B WHERE (L.LOB_TYPE = 'TEMPLATE' OR L.LOB_TYPE = 'MLS_TEMPLATE') AND L.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME= :1 AND L.LOB_CODE = :2 AND L.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME = B.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME AND L.LOB_CODE = B.TEMPLATE_CODE AND ( (L.LANGUAGE = :3 AND L.TERRITORY = :4 ) OR (L.LANGUAGE = :5 AND L.TERRITORY = :6) OR (L.LANGUAGE= B.DEFAULT_LANGUAGE AND L.TERRITORY= B.DEFAULT_TERRITORY ) )
I have checked from database that the XDO_LOBS/ XDO_TEMPLATES_B table has corresponding registration data.
I don't know what's creating the problem.
If anyone has customised the Dunning Letter program before or having any idea about this problem, please help me out ..
Thanks

How can I use unix commands from oracle report

Hi,
It's because .bat (or .cmd) files are scripts and not executables and are interpreted using the command line executable - which is normally cmd.exe (although you can buy others).
So you need to call cmd.exe passing the bat file name as a parameter, something like
cmd.exe /c batchfilename
Without the /c you will never get a response.
However, this brings us to the bizarre conclusion that you are going to:
call cmd.exe (a shell interpreter)
to launch a batch file
that calls cygwin (another shell interpreter)
which then runs ls
When shouldn't that just be:
call cmd.exe to run the dir command
Or better yet, If you are just after a file name listing and you seem to understand Java stored procs, why not just write a JSP to list the contents of a directory? No problems with OS dependant commands, scripts and 3rd party interpreters. Plenty of examples of that out on the internet as well.
