Application Server Report Path

Dear Oracle Gurus
I am new to this area of expertise. We have a peculiar problem. Let me try to explain this
We are running Oracle Appication server in Windows based environment( windows server 2003 i presume)
we have multiple projects running in this server. Two of our projects are almost similar and identitcal. They share the same name for forms and reports but the content will be different.
The problem is when we execute a call to a report from our application, the report with the same name from other project gets executed.
I discussed this with our Hardware and network engineers. They said that the path to find the reports is specified in the windows registry file where it is specified that the folder of the other project is given first and then our project folder is specified next.
Tempororily , they put our project folder's name first.
I beileve that there should be some other better and permanant solution for this
can anyone help me out in this
with warm regards

Hi ssr,
the best way is to create two or more report server with different names. For each report server you can define a sourceDir and tempDir. You must enter the values of the sourceDir and tempDir in the*.conf File from the reportserver. You will find the *.conf-File in the following directory: $ORACLE_HOME\reports\conf The name of the file is <reportservername>.conf. It is a XML-File. IN Line 15 or 16 you find the Part for the sourceDir and tempDir. After that you must restart the report server.
Call from Forms:
Wenn you call the application you use a "?config=..." part in the formsweb.cfg. Then you must use two diferent *.env-Files. In each *.env-File you add a new environment parameter. Excample REPORTSERVERNAME=.... In your Forms application you can read this parameter with TOOL_ENV.getvar('REPORTSERVERNAME', l_name); And than you can controll wich application use wich reportserver. In our enviroment it works fine.
I hope that helps a little bit.

Regarding Application server file path browsing

Hi All,
I have a issue regarding Application Server File Path browsing.
Actually in my selection-screen i will declare a parameter as Application Server File Path now when i press F4 in that field it should be able to browse through Application Server Path's.
Just like F4_FILENAME in the case of Presentation Server File Path Browsing.
Can anybody solve my issue.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards,
Rayeez.

Hi Shaik,
Just copy and paste:
Here is the code for retrieving list of files contained within specific Application server directory(SAP).
PARAMETER: p_fdir type pfeflnamel DEFAULT '/usr/sap/tmp'.
data: begin of it_filedir occurs 10.
include structure salfldir.
data: end of it_filedir.
START-OF-SELECTION.
Get Current Directory Listing for OUT Dir
call function 'RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL'
exporting
name = p_fdir
tables
file_tbl = it_filedir.
List of files are contained within table it_filedir
loop at it_filedir.
write: / it_filedir-NAME.
endloop.
Hope this will help you.
Let me know incase of any concerns.
EDIT:
There are few FM for ur refernce :
RZL_READ_DIR_LOCAL
SUBST_GET_FILE_LIST Return table with file list for the given directory (pattern allowed)
F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION Popup to select one file from the given application server directory
TH_SERVER_LIST Returns list of application servers.
EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING Lists filenames from the application server .

Application server file path name separated by apace

Hi All,
I am writing files on application server. Below is my fie path.
parameters: p_o_file like rlgrap-filename default   '/xxx/tmp/app/outbound/1~lcxxxx~ACTUAL~periodfyyear~RR.txt'.
data : mnthyear(12) type c,
         year(6) type c.

p_ryear = p_ryear - 1.
concatenate 'FY' p_ryear into year.
concatenate 'OCT' '-' year into mnthyear separated by space.
replace 'periodfyyear' with mnthyear into p_o_file.
In the report output I am getting the file name correctly.
Output File: /dev/tmp/app/outbound/1~LC1000~ACTUAL~OCT - FY2013~RR.txt
When checked in AL11, it is showing me the below file name

my file name is truncated after space.
Can we create a file name with spaces? Awaiting your replies.

Validation and F4 help on an application server file path parameter

Hi
I have a field on a selection screen called File Path and it is for a download program where the user needs to specify the path for the download (NOT THE ACTUAL FILENAME).
I am trying to find a function or method that allows a user to use F4 help to browse for a directory rather than a specific file. There are lots of posts out there asking this question but all of the answers point to functions that allow you to browse for a particular file rather than just the file path/directory.
Does anyone know of a function that provides F4 help to browse for a file path on the Server (NOT PC). I would want the user to just be able to select the directory or path and have the path returned. They should not need to pick a specific file.
F4_DXFILENAME_TOPRECURSION is a very good function but unfortunately it makes the user pick a file rather than just a directory.
In addition to this, does anyone know of a function or method that allows you to then validate the path\directory that is entered?
Thanks for your help
Nicole

Hi,
You can try with the FM 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'. With this Fm module you will get you the list of files of a particular path in an internal table. Then you can populate this internal table in F4 help.
Hope this solves your problem. If any difficulty, come back to me about that.
Below are some other FM related to application server directory. Hope these Helps.
EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_PATH
EPS_GET_FILE_ATTRIBUTES
EPS_GET_FTP_SYSTEM_INFO

Regarding Application server file path

Hi All,
please explain the process how to create logical file path in FILE t-code.

Hi,
logical file path
The (platform-independent) logical file path is evaluated at runtime to get the (platform-dependent) physical path (see Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path).
Two examples of this are:
· Logical file path: BW_OLAP_CACHE
Name: BW OLAP Cache
· Logical file path: BW_OLAP_CACHE_SPAN
Name: BW OLAP cache cross-application server
Assignment of Physical Paths to Logical Path
At runtime, the physical path assigned for the corresponding operating system platform is generated from the logical file path.
Since the physical path is platform-dependent, the customer must set it her/himself. The closer the file is to the application server or, with the cross-application server cache mode, to the application server, the faster it can be found and read.
Log(ical) path: BW_OLAP_CACHE
Name: BW OLAP Cache
Syntax group: UNIX (all Unix platforms)
Phys(ical) path: /usr/ (Syntax group WINDOWS NT)
In a heterogeneous system landscape (such as UNIX and Windows NT servers) all system-specific syntax groups must be maintained. Ensure that the definitions for the various syntax groups point to the same directory.

Starting iPlanet Application server reports an error and shuts down the ldap server

Hi,
This has been happening to me starting today. I have kept the service to
be interactive with the desktop. The starting of the service doesn't even
open up the command prompt.
The specific error is
Error 2147 : Internal server error.
Looking up on this error on gave me a statement :
"Error 2147
The specified parameter could not be found in the configuration information.
Explanation: Windows NT could not find a particular entry in your
configuration.
Action: Ask your network administrator to check your configuration. The
administrator should make sure your system configuration contains all
information required to run Windows NT and any associated applications. "
Can anybody put some light on this. The version of iplanet is 6.0 SP2 and is
being run on windows NT workstation.
Kind regards,

Deploying forms and reports on Application Server 10g

I had buit some forms,reports by using Oracle Developer Suite( Oracle Form developer, Report developer ) , I had run them on that tools. Now I want to deploy on Oracle Application Server. How can do it , any one can tell me step by step (because I'm a beginer). How do I deploy on Application Server ? I had installed Oracle Application Server (without install Infrastructure) , can I deploy ? because My computer not support install Oracle Application Server with Infrastructure (memory only 512M). Are there any way ?
I'm beginer, please tell me step by step. thanks

Hi,
You can install the Oracle Application Forms and Reports standalone version of the application server. This does not require an infrastructure.
As far as deployment of Forms and Reports, you can either place your compiled (.fmx and .rep) files in the default \forms90 directory or you can place them in another directory and specify the location in the formsweb.cfg file.
For more information on the Oracle Forms and Reports standalone, see the installation guide at http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19375_06/doc/frs/install/B16392_03/toc.htm.
For information in deploying Oracle Forms, see the Oracle® Application Server Forms Services Deployment Guide at http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19375_06/doc/frs/forms/B14032_03/toc.htm
Reports deployment info is contained in the Oracle® Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web at http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19375_06/doc/frs/reports/B14048_02/toc.htm
