ArchiveLink and Report Format

Hi,
newbie question on archivelink
Does ArchiveLink support saving SAP R/3 generated reports in external content server? If yes then in what format? If no then what's the alternative?
-Y

Hi Yasir,
SAP R/3 generated reports are supported by ArchiveLink and therefore can be stored in an external content server. There are even reports that allow an indexed storage in the external content server (the classical example is RFBELJ00).
But, any report can be archived. The FORMAT is an SAP proprietary format called ALF.
Best regards

XI R2 To 3.1 Sp2 migration and report format issues

Hello,
is there a way to fix or troubleshoot report format issues after migrating to 3.1?
We have a heavy report that the format (the way the report looks) is very important. In crytal Reports 2008 sp2 the format is OK.
But from BOE CMC or from url reporting the report format have problems.
Thank you

Hi Ruhver,
Crystal Report documents are heavily dependant on the printer driver for formatting. If you design the report using a specific default driver than it will be dependant on that printer driver for formatting. When you publish it to Enterprise, the same printer driver may not exist so the report will be re-formated to fit the default driver on the server, or if no driver exists, it will use an internal method to format the report.
Try this as a test.
1) Open your report in the CR 2008 designer.
2) Click on the File/Page Setup.
3) Select the "No Printer" option. This tells the report to use this internal method to format the report
4) Save this document as "Title - No Printer"
5) Export it to Enterprise
6) Test this report again. Formatting should be identical in BOE vs CR.
Keep in mind that when you change the driver in step 3, the report in the designer will re-format. You may need to tweak the report again in order for the formatting to be as desired.
Test this out and if you require further assistance with this, I would suggest opening a message. This is a common issue and a support engineer could likely help you with this pretty easily.
Hope this helps,

IDVD 08 quits and reports "Formatting error"

Question #1: What is the source of this movie? Is it from a minidv camera via firewire? ..... USB 2? ...... or something else?
Most of the time updates and most upgrades proceed rather smoothly when it comes to apple's i-apps / software (But not always). I prefer never to update in the middle of a project. I'll often wait, finish the project with the older version, and then update.
Question # 2: Have you already tried exporting as a QT movie / file and then over to iDvd?

Difference between pdf and html report format

Why HTML report printouts truncate from the right-end side, compare to the pdf report format ?, do i need to change anything
while running report through HTML format

The printing from html output is majorly affected by browser settings. Once you try to change the left and right margins in page setup before printing, I solved this problem in this way , it may work for you. Let me know if it works or if you overcome it by other ways.

Exporting report as PDF and CSV formats same time with out executing DB query twice

Post Author: cpriyanka
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal Report 9.0 version and Java.
I am getting "PrintOutputController" from "ReportClientDocument"
And then by calling export(ReportExportFormat.PDF) generating PDF format report.
Now I need to generate both PDF and CSV format files same time. How can it be done?
My understanding is when we call "export" it does the DB query execution and other functionality.
In that case, if I call "export" two times with two different formats, then DB query will be executed twice and that takes lot of time.
To avoid, is there a way I can all some API so DB query executed once, but I can export report in to multiple formats?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Hello,
Are you using the "pull" or "push" method for your crystal reports? If you are using the "pull" method (the report itself executes the sql) then I believe there is no way around having the query execute twice since it is fired off each time you open and export the report.
If you use the "push" method, however, then you can just create the recordset/dataset and then set the datasouce once for the report.
Here's a broad overview of push and pull though the Crystal Report Viewer is used. The viewer may or may not be applicable in your case:

Issue on How to mimic Deski document from CMS to local machine, pass parameter, execute and save in a mutiple report format then store in a network drive.

Hi Ted,
Thanks for the reply.The file is not available in the server. Though, I checked CMS and I found an instance in history tab and the status is failed with error below.
Error Message:
A variable prevented the data provider Query 1 with BANRRD30 from being refreshed. (DMA0008).When I checked my codes, I found out that the object Im using is for web intelligence data provider. However, I cannot find any documentation and example for passing parameter values in desktop intelligence data provider. Any idea on this? You think this is not suported by Report Engine SDK?Thanks.

With Reports 10G can you customize you message and stop formatting?

Oracle, states to come here for answer. they said, OTN should be able to help.
If any one knows how this can be done can you please help me out?
thanks,
We were told this was fixed with 10G so we upgraded to 10G. We have a
report and we want it to execute if it's less than 10 records if not we want a
message to come up that the report needs to be scheduled.
Well we run the report and it displays exceeded record count but the format
still runs so no time saved on the web.
If the record count was exceeded we want to HALT the system and not go any
farther.
Now if we could modify the system message 1825 we would be o.k. But we don't
know if that is going to work. If we could change the message we would be
o.k. with that. that would mean changing the system codes though.
### How is the Report being called (Command line, URL or via Oracle Forms): ###
If false comes back in the beginning then we don't want any report formatting
to be done. Right now the format is done it seems but no data is displayed
because criteria isn't met.
So we dont wnat the formatting to be run when criteria isn't met. But for
some
reason it still runs and takes time.
See we have some reports on the web that can only be ran by date range right
now the clients can only run the reports for a 6 months range.. Well some
clients have a lot smaller record count. So we want to change the way the
reports are ran to a records count. If the count is large than said amount
then a message comes up that states the report has to be scheduled. If the
amount is under said amount then the report runs.
So at this time in the report we do a count then we move onto will the report
run or not if over the amount we want to abort the process but we don't want
the client to see the abort. We definately don't want the client to sit and
wait for the format to run when NO Data is to be returned.
### Error messages and error scenario: ###
So what we want is too see a message "Schedule the report count exceeded" and
NO formatting done. If under amount we want the report to run.
### Provide a detailed step-by-step description of your problem or question: ###
Or is there a way to customize the messages the client / users will see. And
no formatting time for no records returned.

21-SEP-04 15:38:39 GMT
Hi Darlene!!
As talked to you on phone, here are the steps for you to try.
The below has been run as a test case using emp table in scott schema of a database
1) create a summary coloumn say cs_1 in the data model.
2) point the function to count.
3) Point the source to what ever's count you want it to be pointed to(say empno of emp table of
scott schema)
4) create a user parameter say NO_ROWS
5) in its property palette make its data type number and initial value as 1
6) I had teh following query for my report:
select empno, ename from emp
where rownum <= :no_rows
This means that the report that will be generated will consist of a total no of NO_ROWS(that we
shall be specifying at run time). The before report trigger(mentioned in 7 below) shall assure
that whenever we specify NO_ROWS greater than 5 then the report will display a customized pop up
message.
7) create a before report trigger as:
function BeforeReport return boolean is
user_excp EXCEPTION;
begin
if :cs_1 >5 then
raise user_excp;
return (false);
else
return true;
end if;
EXCEPTION
WHEN user_excp then
SRW.MESSAGE(30, 'Data is more please schedule this report:');
raise SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT;
return (false);
end;
This way when u run a report, an argument is asked whether how many rows do you want to be
displayed as in the parameter NO_ROWS. then you specify the number. If that number is greater
than 5(in this case, due to if :cs_1 > 5 then....) then it will pop up a message saying "Data is
more please schedule this report:"
In case you do not want to specify NO_ROWS..then you need not put that and modify the report
query as "select empno, empname from emp;" i.e. without where clause.

New info : Information from the person that did this suggestion step by step.
I tried this step by step, but unfortunately, it doesn't work the way we want.
First with this suggestion, the user needs to choose how many records they
want
to get, or we default a number of records, in order to run the report. The most
important thing is, whenever you specify the statement return false or raise
SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT in the before report trigger, the system message will pop up.
I really hope that people from Oracle would let us know how to customize the
system message or hide it.
23-SEP-04 14:23:04 GMT
New info : I just thought that we have some sort of message, which I guess is
from the database, when we do claim search on client inquiry. I am just
wondering if we could try the same thing to the report.
The some sort of message looks like this on dev box:
Your search exceeded 5000 records and will surpass the capabilities of this
connection. Please narrow the search criteria and resubmit.
It's just a thought, not sure if it's going to work.
When could we have the DBA Make this change. The servlet.properties???

I am sorry to say that but I don't think there is any any workaround to this because the system message is what is generated by the oracle reports i
nternally. Still if you wish you may refer to the otn discussion forum which is
maintained by teh product management group and post a new thread on it. the link
to the forum is Reports
Also since nothing can be done on our side I don't see any reason to keep this TAR open an
d if you wish we can soft close this.
Thanks

why we were told in 10G that this could be done and now we are told it can't.

Report Generate to File PDF, HTML,Excel and Others Format

Dear Experts,
I am using Oracle 9i and Developer 6i. How I convert report in PDF, HTML, Excel and others format after generating the report. When i try to generate, then giving the following error message:
REP-0999: Unimplemented Error.
How can I solve it, Please help me.

Do the column headings display ok but the data does not?
If so it may be related to the font size. i.e. the whole report may not fit on the page when scaled for pdf output.

Why Reports format behaves different in Excel and browser(if desformat=html or pdf)?

1-Why Reports format behaves different in Excel and browser(if desformat=html or pdf)?
2-I made three queries Q1,Q2 & Q3 and linked them with proper field links but suppose Q3 returns no records for some Q1&Q2 records & when the report runs for delimited options it reflects only those records as output for which all the queries return records(if Q3 returns no record then the related records from queries Q1,Q2 don't reflect) while the output in desformat=html or pdf is ok..
can you please resolve my problems
( I have installed patch 5a in my report server machine)
Thanks & Regds.

What do you mean by "different"? (In our
experience, Oracle html output has too many
columns, which are not visible in the
browser but are obvious in Excel.)
We build our own html programmatically, so
that Excel matches the browser more closely.

Date format in forms and reports in windows 7

i have problem with date format in developer 10g and developer 6i
it show date in this format 2011/25/1
it sould be like this 25/1/2011
how i can reslove this
in xp it work fine

Are you generating Forms and Reports from Oracle Designer, or using Oracle Developer tools directly?
If this is a Forms question, try the Forms forum - Forms
If this is a Reports question, try the Reports forum - Reports
Either way, or with Designer, the problem is probably that you are allowing the date format to default instead of explicitly specifying a date format. Always specify the date format - you want "DD/MM/YYYY".

I try to use HIDE: Field 1 in a loop ,but It can not hide the field 1 value.
why?
thanks you
John

Hi,
Use the statements READ LINE and READ CURRENT LINE to read data from the lines of existing list levels. These statements are closely connected to the HIDE technique.
All of the lists generated by a single program are stored internally in the system. You can therefore access any list in a program that was created for the same screen and that has not yet been deleted by returning to a lower list level. To read lines, use the statements READ LINE and READ CURRENT LINE.
To read a line from a list after an interactive list event, use the READ LINE statement:
READ LINE <lin> [INDEX <idx>]
[FIELD VALUE <f1> [INTO <g 1>] ... <f n> [INTO <g n>]]
[OF CURRENT PAGE|OF PAGE <p>].
The statement without any options stores the contents of line <lin> from the list on which the event was triggered (index SY-LILLI) in the SY-LISEL system field and fills all HIDE information stored for this line back into the corresponding fields. As far as SY-LISEL and the HIDE area are concerned, READ LINE has the same effect as an interactive line selection.

Difference between deploying oracle report in RDF format and REP format

Hi All,
Good Day!!!
We are frequently encountering report failures in our production environment with the error message "REP-1247: There exist uncompiled program unit(s)"
But the report executes successfully in the next try and the issue is intermittant. In production the reports are deployed in RDF format.
So in our test environment we tried of deploying the reports in REP foramat and we cant find any errors.
Is there Difference in deploying oracle report in RDF format and REP format?
Is there any diffence in execution?
Your inputs will be much appreciated!!!
Thanks in Advance,
JK

Hi,
REP is to RDF what FMX is to FMB, MMX is to MMB, etc.
Only difference here is that if you deploy RDF, not REP, then the RDF is compiled at runtime by Reports Engine and then executed. In other words, if REP is deployed then it is straightway execute.
That should explain all your observations.
Cheers.
PS: Please post Oracle Report queries on {forum:id=84} forum.
