Actuate/Forte

I just recently completed a two-way integration project
between Forte and Actuate. To make both ways work for
you, you will need Forte release 3 (now in beta).
The integration project shows you how to use the Actuate
API from Forte (Forte --> Actuate) to set up report runs,
print reports, parameterize reports, etc. (You still have
to create the reports using the Actuate Developer's Workbench.)
This part should work with any version of Forte.
Going the other way (Actuate --> Forte) requires the OLE
automation features found in Forte R3. This enables a
Forte service object to fetch the data for your report,
as an alternative or addition to the standard SQL queries
running against an RDBMS.
You can find documentation and source code on the Forte
home page, under Technical Info, and then "Shareware." You
need a password to get there, but Forte technical support
can provide you with one in a jiffy.
Hope this helps some!

Andrew,
There is some stuff on the shareware section of Forte's web site. I think
it is just the wrappering of the C-API's

Hi,
I am using forte (3.0.f.2) and actuate (3.0). And looking to see if we
can integrate actuate to my forte application directly, that is by
passing the informix database.
Opinions are welcome.

could theoretically call-in to forte from a C++ dll in actuate, the simpler
way (the way we did it) was to get a socket DLL ( I grabbed source for a
socket listener/writer off the web somewhere, but I don't have it handy)
and used forte's external connection class for the other end.
The scenario is:
Forte has a listener on a pre-defined port (pick one)
Simple formatted requests are sent to forte from actuate (e.g., the message
'report1 1,2,3\n ' would run a forte command called report1 with args 1,2
and 3)
Forte processes the command and sends back the results in tab delimited
form.
Actuate reads the results a line at a time and formats the data.
Worked well, took about a week to develop and is reliable.

Re: Actuate/Forte, multithreading API calls

Geoff,
Your link to the Actuate API looks great, and it came just in
time: I had just started doing it myself.
A question: how can calls to the Actuate API be multithreaded?
Your C project has the extended property MultiThreaded = FALSE.
That's probably prudent, since we don't know how the Actuate
application works internally. However, we have a need for
running both (i) intensive reports and (ii) on-demand light
reports simultaneously. So, we need to multithread those two
sorts of tasks.
A possible way to multithread Actuate would be to load separate
copies of the dll's for each of the two tasks. Now, I don't
know how dynamic loading works, but my guess is that there is
only one copy per OS process, which means only one copy per
running Forte application.

Actuate reporting solutions

Solano,
We have developed a module that integrates Forte with Actuate. We were very
impressed with Actuate's reporting capability, but our clients had a couple of
concerns with it: 1) they didn't like the per-user fee Actuate charges for the
report scheduler, 2) they wanted to use the same interface to input parameters
that they use in their normal application windows (with drop-down lists,
multi-selection list, validations, short cut keys, etc.).
What we did was to create a front-end window in Forte that dynamically builds
parameter screens for inputting report parameters. These windows vary
depending upon the reports' needs. After entering these parameters, the user
can run the report from Forte.
Shortly we will add the ability for the users to parse their reports, by
customer, and automatically fax them. When R3 is released, we will further
integrate the two tools.
I myself have not used Actuate, but if you are still interested, and I can
refer you to our Actuate/Forte experts.
Thanks,
Vince Hoenigman

We would like to know if it is possible to design and produce reports
directly from Forte' Application without making a new query on DBMS (from
Actuate Developer Workbench).
By the way we are also looking to have a multiplatform reporting system
(using also Unix Client machines). We read about Actuate Report Server. Do
we
have to use Actuate Report Server together with Actuate Developer Workbench
or there are other possibility to work with Unix Clients?
We'll be very happy to receive an answer about our questions or to have some

The FormattedDataSet is not a total reporting solution, but it does a good job of displaying tabular data such as you would see in a listbox, html table, xml, or csv. It is flexible, fast and easy to use. You crreate your own templates which do a good job of separating formatting from presentation. This allows for both reuse of the data and formatting

Objet: Actuate in Forte Application
Hi, guys,
Currently, I am testing on Actuate called from Forte Application. I
downloaded the example from Forte support web site. I tried and followed
the instruction that was given, but I couldn't make it work.
The problem is Forte couldn't produce the DLL file; there has MS Visual
C++ 5.0 installed.
I did;
- actlayer.obj has been produced (with reqbasic.h)
- before actwrap.pex import into Forte external library (reqst32.dll)
change to relevent directory; and also external object file
(actlayer.obj).
- when Forte compilation library (DLL) cannot be produce. (include
directories for c++, Actuate and Forte were set into system variable -
path). It gave the following error:
Forte_cl0: Fetched SubAgents
Forte_cl0: Generating code for library ActWrap.
Forte_cl0: Completed code generation for ActWrap.
Forte_cl0: Attempting to obtain compile sessions for needed
architectures.
Forte_cl0: Beginning compilation for PC NT.
Forte_cl0: Compilation of actwrap on PC NT completed. Here are the
results:
BEGIN FILE
Working directory is c:\forte\tmp\cg2\pc_nt\actwrap

/Ic:\forte\install\inc\handles /Ic:\forte /Foactwrap.obj /Tp actwrap.cc
Error during compilation, aborting.
END FILE
Forte_cl0:
Forte_cl0: Completed compilation for PC NT.
I continue to import the interface part, when run interface Forte gave
'actwrap.dll' not found in 'c:\forte\userapp\actwrap\cl0' directory.
Is there anyone try on that example? I hope I can get help from you, and
your little suggestion is a big help for me, I am very much appreciated.

William

Re: Calling Actuate from Forte

Tanya,
Actuate supplies C-API's to both their report viewer and the report server.
There is also an ActiveX control version of the report viewer that you can
embed with Forte 3. There is example wrapper code lying around somewhere,
look on the Forte Shareware site.

Tanya,
Please send any responses to [email protected].
I am currently working on an Invoicing project for Williams Conferencing in Denver, CO. We are using Actuate to generate invoices, in conjunction with an Invoicing application developed in Forte.
You have many options.
As far as integrating with Actuate, you can use their Actuate ActiveX controls, Requestor API or their Report Server API. You can read about the pros and cons of these methods in the "About the APIs" section of the "Actuate Application Programming Interfaces Guide" on page xxxi.
Using the Report Server API gives you more control than using the Requestor API. For example, we are currently unaware of a way of preventing versions of a report from being created when a report is regenerated, using the Requestor API. This can easily be accomplished using the Report Server API. But, the Report Server API is more difficult to use.
I am not familiar enough with ActiveX to comment on the ease and viability of using ActiveX to integrate Forte with Actuate.
Our approach is to create a C DLL using MS Visual C++ and integrate it with Forte. Our C DLL contains high level functions, such as GenerateInvoice(...) and PrintInvoice(...). Our high level functions contain calls to the Actuate Requestor API. Now that our C function are integrated with Forte, we are able to call them directly from our Forte application TOOL code.
For information on integrating C with Forte, read chapter 2 of the Forte book entitled "Integrating with External Systems". I have attached a document I wrote that enumerates the steps to integrate C with Forte.
The method we use to integrate Forte with Actuate is time consuming and tedious. If anyone knows of a better method, please let me know.
Kind Regards,

the AIX box. However, when wrappering the C object from within Forte,
we get a core dump on AcReqPrint. Even when passing no parameters from

RE: (forte-users) Reporting tools/components for ForteApplications?

Hi Robert,
A good place to start when it comes to reporting is Forte Consulting. They
have developed a tool called ReportKit, which is ActiveX integration with
Seagate Software's Crystal Reports tool. Crystal is not really a three-tier
tool (although, your Forte Consultant can probably set it up to mimic a
three-tier tool), but it is a quick, easy way to get quality reports from
your existing Forte applications. If you're interested, give your Forte
Sales Rep (or, better still, your Forte Regional Consulting Director) a
call. They can discuss pricing and scheduling. I've done several
integration projects with Crystal, and I highly recommend ReportKit for
small- to medium-sized reporting requirements. As for costs, I don't recall
how much CrystalReports runs, but I think there are developer licenses and
runtime licenses.
FYI, the actual integration of ReportKit is pretty quick. The more
time-consuming piece of any report tool integration is the design and
implementation of the reports to be used.
I hope this helps.

who wish it were written in Java and who might lobby for doing a Java

recognize that Java just isn't up to the task at this point. It isn't as

They will only support them for as long as they need.Or, more likely, for as long as they make money.

We've been successfully interfacing to Actuate from Forte using Actuate's Requester API to connect to the Actuate Report Server for years now when the C wrapper DLL is on Windows 95 or NT.
However now we want to put the C wrapper library on SunOS 5.6. It all appears to compile and link OK. The call to AcReqInitialize() appears to
work OK but the call to AcReqConnect() fails returning -1.
Has anybody managed to do this successfully on SunOS?
Thanks for any help.

Is this an issue with JDeveloper 3.2 or Oracle 8.1.7? Is it possible to deploy to 8.1.7 on Solaris by writing the deployment script yourself?

Forte v3 - date for commercial release

Greetings All
Does anyone know when Forte 3 will be released and, more particularly,
when the Forte training materials will have been upgraded to the new
version ?
I'm taking both Forte application development classes in the UK in a
month's time, and am hoping they will cover release 3.
Kind regards, Robin.

Progress (see you in Boston?), Actuate, and Forte in due course...

projected for "production" release in August which means that any new users
will get it then as will any existing users who ask for it. About three
months later will come the maintenance release mailed without request to
those on maintenance.
R3 training is available now, although I believe it is a 3 day
"differences" class, i.e., go ahead and do your basic training and then
take the differences class to get ready for R3.
