Alternative way of runnung oracle report

Hi world,
There is another way of executing Oracle report from Oracle forms.
Usually people use RUN_PRODUCT to execute it.
Anyway, the second method is via RUN_REPORT_OBJECT.
I've try this method but it seems that, it cannot find the report that i want to execute.
I use FIND_REPORT_OBJECT function, e.g:
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('report4');
but that function cannot find 'report4' and repid is NULL, so RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be executed.
SO, who have try this method and running smoothly, please..I need an advice of how to do it.
thank you very much.

Basically I have windows server with Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1) server and the database on this server needs to retired and move the data of it to a new server has Linux 64 and Oracle 11g built on it. Here are my answers below:
What exactly have you tried and done?
A.  I used "Cross-Platform Transportable Database" to transfer data from Windows to Linux and I am already done, database on the new server (Linux) has been tested and upgraded to latest release (11.2.0.4), my next step is the cutover but the data is too old (2 weeks ago) so I need to take a new data from the current prod server.
How long did it take and what is your downtime requirement for this migration and what how do you define a "huge database"?
A. RMAN convert took approximately 5hrs to convert data files from Windows to Linux (Please note that I used rman convert on source server)
and It took me a day and half to copy the converted files remotely from source in which files been placed to the destination server (the network bandwidth was about 100kb/s so it was so slow) next time I will copy data files on external hard disk then mount them on the new server if I use RMAN convert again.
End users accepts that the database can be in read only mode for one day business hours but they can't take it more so I'm really concern about the time when taking a new snapshot of data. Also, the size of data is about 380G and that's why I asked again if data pump will be more useful and faster than RMAN for copying data to the new platform.
Sorry if I made you confused!
Thanks again for all the support on here.

  • Calling Oracle Report InSide Web Service Method

    Is there way to call oracle reports inside one of my web service method.
    If yes kindly let me know how we can do this and some documents related to this.
    Thanks
    Robert

    Oracle reports does have a Web API when reports are run from the application server. As a result one way to do what you are asking is to write a Web service that use java.net.URL to invoke the Reports Service Web interface:
    http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/docs/A92102_01/pbr_run.htm#1005598
    As I understand it, this interface itself is actually being exposed as a Web service in a future release of Oracle9iAS Reports ... I don't know if this is a Oracle9iAS Reports 9.0.4 feature or beyond that. You might try asking on the Reports forum:

  • Alternative way instead of BDC to Improve performance  of teh ABAP report

    Hi All,
    Our requirement is to delete buffered entries of credit card expences for terminated/ inavtive staff of teh organization.
    For that we are using BDC call transaction in order do so for each employee (terminated/inactive). I mean technically speaking BDC is perfomred inside the loop.
    Can any one suggest me some other alternative way to do this other than BDC, so that we can improve the performance of teh report?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    But  the FM /BAPI were using BDC call transaction internally.So same effect. No improvement in performance.
    Kindly suggest related FM/BAPI for creating/deleting expences for a trip.

  • Any alternative to run Oracle Report without using Oracle Rpt Server?

    Hi,
    Is there other alternative to run Oracle Reports if I don't have oracle report server?
    Reason being I'm thinking of using Oracle10g iAS Standard Edition but this edition does not come with Oracle Report Server.
    Is there anyway to run it? I need the report to be run through web browser and display as PDF.
    Please advise.
    Thank you.

    is there a library (pll) attached to the report which has not been compiled on the application-server ?

  • 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.

  • Oracle Reports -- printing 1/3 the way down the second page.

    I modifying an Oracle Report that outputs a rtf-formmated word doc. When things go to the second page (because things on the first page have fully occupied the first page), they always appear 1/3 down the page. I would like them to be close to the top of the page as possible. Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas on how this should work?

    When things go to the second page (because things on the first page have fully occupied the first page), they always appear 1/3 down the page. I would like them to be close to the top of the page as possible. Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas on how this should work?As for this case there might be frames or Items displayed (Print Object On - First Page) at the top of the page which are not being displayed on the second page for all such frames and Items set the Vertical Elasticity to Variable.

  • Using CBO hints in Oracle reports 6i

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to add a simple hint to my a query defined in the datamodel of my report. The hint never shows up in v$sql at execution time.
    I have a stong feeling that report chops the hint out because reports thinks it's a comment like any other comment.
    Is there a way I can put hints in queries of Oracle Report 6i ????
    Best regards,
    Guillaume Goulet-Vallières

    One alternative is having the hints in functions/packages in DB, if possible.

  • How to use Oracle Reports in an enterprise app, wrt file i/o?

    How are people architecting their enterprise applications to make use of Oracle Reports, with respect to transmission of the output?
    Do you have session beans which call the Oracle Reports JSP pages, and have them write the output to file names, the names of which you then transmit to the web layer? Alternatively, is there any practical way to "stream" the output directly from the EJB layer to the web layer and to the client?

    Hello David,
    When you call the report server via an URL, with DESTYPE=CACHE, the output is directly sent to the web browser.
    I am not sure to well understand you question, but if you want to control the report from a session bean, you can write a bean that call report server with an URL and get the output. Today, we do not have any EJB to control Oracle Reports.
    I am interested by the type of beans/architecture you would like to see in Reports, could you please send me a detailled example of a type of bean you would like to have ? ([email protected])

  • [Secure Configuration] Oracle Reports 10g Email Configuration...

    Hi Everyone,
    In oracle Reports 10g, we have an option of sending mail as an attachment using destype = mail and desname = [email protected] For this to happen we have to add the outgoing mail server name in the <report server>.conf file. Once we configure this setting, end-users can send any report to any mail-id. So, how to make an secured configuration so that they can send only those allowed reports?
    Note: We have already many reports which are already deployed. So we cant incorporate the validation or some logic within the each report.

    hello dsegard,
    Thanks for you help. I tried the way which you had said. I have incorporated the security tag in the conf file and included the XMLSecurity Project( Deployed the JAR file and done necessary configuration). Now, I dont know how to use it.
    Is there any alternative way for this? Is there any way that we can remove the default options provided by the Oracle Reports under the Destype?

  • Oracle Reports - PDF report

    I have a PDF report designed using oracle report builder 6i. This report has a margin that prints the total of all the quantities to be ordered via a QUOTE. If this report prints beyond one page, then the total will print on all the pages. Users do not want to see the total on all the pages but only on the last page. I really need to keep these total fields on the MARGIN section of the layout. Is there any way, i can still keep these fields on the margin and print them only on the last page of the report? The report builder do not let me set the 'print condition' as the 'last page' because it is in the margin section. Any idea on this issue??

    I would create a trigger for your MARGIN totals so they print only on the last page.
    Have the trigger return TRUE if current page = total pages, else return FALSE.
    This will make sure your margin totals are only visible on the last page.

  • Help needed for MySQL 5 database DSN less connection with Oracle reports

    Hi,
    I am using Oracle Develper Suite and java (J2EE) for my application. I am using MySql 5 as database tool. I want to use Oracle reports of Oracle Develper suite. I have created some reports by first creating system DSN for MySql database and then connect Oracle reports to that DSN by "jdbc:odbc" connection string provided in Oracle Report developer wizard. This is working fine.
    I want to generate reports without creating system DSN (DSN less) so that i can use my application on any computer without creating DSN for Oracle Reports. I am deploying my application on OC4j as "EAR" file.
    Help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
    Regards.

    Using an 8i client, you will need to configure the tnsnames.ora file with appropriate connection information if you are using local naming. If you are using host naming or something like an Oracle Names server to resolve TNS aliases, you can skip the tnsnames.ora configuration. A default installation of the Oracle client, though, will probably be using local naming.
    If the tnsnames.ora file is configured, or you have configured an alternate way of resolving TNS aliases, you should be able to use the connection string
    DRIVER={Oracle ODBC Driver};DBQ=<<TNS alias>>;UID=system;PWD=managerIf you wanted to move to the 10g client (the 10g Instant Client could be useful here), there are some streamlined naming methods that could be used instead of configuring the tnsnames.ora file.

  • Perfomance of oracle report

    Hi,
    I am working on a oracle report. the report performance is very slow.
    Based on the requirement i have designed my data model in such a way that
    i used many formula columns & summary columns...
    Can some let me know how to tune the report. and increase its performance...
    Plz let me know if you guys need any more details.
    thnkq

    Hi,
    Formula columns are like subprogram, being called at the run time of the main query. They always degrade the report performance.
    following link shows the various ways to tune reports in detail:

  • Pl/sql vs oracle reports 6i

    Hi I am new to oracle development.
    My requirement is to create a text file periodically reading data from oracle tables.
    the client wants me to use oracle reports 6i and create a text file. they actually do not have a requirement for a report or this report will not be used in nay other way.
    the final output should be text file.
    i feel using utl_file package creating the text file on the server is a much better option. for this i thought writing a stored procedure and scheduling this procedure.
    please suggest me how i should convince. please give me suggestions in this. thanks in advance..mohan

    A while back all reports were just text files, what is the difference between a text report and a text file? If Oracle reports can do it go ahead. If you think it is overhead spool it from SQL*Plus, which as well as being an ad hoc query tool is actually designed as a text only report writer. If you want to you can still use a stored procedure that returns a ref cursor and just print and format the output in SQL*Plus however its wanted.
    Don't use util_file, its more code, slower, complicated, you can't just use SQL, you have to loop (though for some reason many programmers seem to see this as an advantage), it can only access the server, Its more suitable for diagnostics, tracing and logging, things the DBA would be interested in, not for the end user or external system interfaces.

    kindly let me know the solution

    Hi,
    Ordering the column first takes place from the Data Model Itself.
    Please Check your column ordering in the report data model. If it is not ordered in a right way then Rearrange it.
    Remove your order by in query...
    If any issues... let me know

  • 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.
