Blank reports

Hi,
I am calling reports from forms. The application used to work perfectly fine. Then one day, my PC (WIN2000) was kind of slow, so I run Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter.
Then now, I can't even run my report.. my forms seems works ok. but when I call the report, it just gives me a blank page. And when I check the the job/status through http://machinename:port/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?,
it says that it is still running.
It seems like I checked everything already.
1. My OC4J instance is up and running.
2. i did 'rwserver -install reptest'
and the server is up and running.
I don't know what else to check.
Anybody, please help.
thank you very much.

Hello Melani,
Please verify whether your Reports setup is working fine by running a test report (say test.rdf under $ORACLE_HOME\reports\samples\demo\reqfiles) using the Reports runtime (rwrun) and the Reports client (rwrun).
You could also enable tracing in $ORACLE_HOME\reports\<server_name>.conf and take a look at the Reports server/engine trace to determine why your report is not completing.
Thanks,
The Oracle Reports Team.

  • Printing larger rows in blank report

    I have a training log that managers can print out when holding training. There is a pre-populated one that fills out spots for current employees and adds blanks at the end and one that is completely blank. On the pre-populated one, I can alter the size of the text and corresponding lines just fine by altering the style of the text. The same technique does not work for the blank report. The managers want to have more room on the blank log, as the default size isn't large enough for many people to fill out.
    Here's the query I'm using:
    WORKS
    select EMP_ID, EMP_LNAME, EMP_FNAME, NULL as DT, NULL as SIGNATURE
      from EMPLOYEES
    where ORG_ID = :P1727_ORG_ID
       and ACTIVE = 1
    union all
    select NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL
    from dual
    connect by rownum <= :P1727_BLANKSDOESN'T WORK
    select NULL as EMP_ID, NULL as EMP_LNAME, NULL as EMP_FNAME
         , NULL as DT, NULL as SIGNATURE
    from dual
    connect by rownum <= :P1727_BLANKSand the stylesheet:
    <style>
    #EMP_ID      {width: 60px;
            font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:1em;}
    #EMP_LNAME   {width:120px}
    #EMP_FNAME   {width: 80px}
    #DT          {width:120px}
    #SIGNATURE   {width:320px}
    </style>I have tried selecting a no-breaking space for a column value instead of a null and no change. I even tried renaming all the columns and creating a new set of styles for the second report - no change. I can't find a table attribute that allows me to statically set the height of the row - it seems to be based on content. Any suggestions?

    Use a print media style sheet and specify the dimensions using a physical unit.
    Give the blank form report a static region ID for use in CSS selectors (e.g. <tt>blank-form</tt>), and a style sheet like:
    <style type="text/css" media="print">
      .report-table is class from report template
    #blank-form .report-table tr {
      min-height: 1cm;
      height: 1cm; /* for IE quirks mode */
    #blank-form #EMP_ID {
      width: 2cm;
    #blank-form #EMP_FNAME,
    #blank-form #EMP_LNAME {
      width: 5cm;
    #blank-form #DT {
      width: 3cm;
    #blank-form #SIGNATURE {
      width: 7cm;
    </style>Also use non-breaking spaces as previously suggested.

  • Blank Report in IE9

    Hi all,
    I have an Asp.Net page that displays a crystal report. I am using VS2010 targeting to .net framework 4.0. The report was actually created in VS 2008 .net 3.5 and now I have upgraded to CR2011. I opened the report and modified it then when run my web application from my machine. But when I move the report to production, and run the web page on production, the report does not display in the CR Viewer.
    Also, the report is displayed for some criteria and doesnot for some other search criteria. When i export the blank report the data is still there and can be seen in excel or pdf.
    One more thing noticed is that it works perfectly if i run IE9 with compatability mode in production.
    Please help urgently.

    Hi,
    Have you gone through the supported platforms guide:
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/e06b8953-a62b-2d10-38b9-ca71f747e2b1
    IE 9 is not supported at this time, but my testing revealed it works well when Compatibility View is used.
    The same is applicable to IE 8.
    So even if CR has to support it, it would be in compatibility view only as far as latest browsers are considered.
    If you want to know why, then go through this:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc288325(v=vs.85).aspx
    Hope that helps.
    Thanks,

  • Broadcasting Blank Reports

    Is there any configuration I can use to stop Broadacsting blank reports. I'm doing a basic broadcast to email of a bex report. The report shows absence by cost centre. However there are some cost centres where the employee's assigned have not been absent. But the report is still mailed out (mailing to all users in a role). The recipient get's an email with header and logo on but no data. In cases like this is there anyway of stopping it sending these reports.

    With standard functionality i really don't see any place where we can customize this requirement. But if we customize the broadcaster job by understanding ABAP behind it..I think it should be possible to restrict.
    We have customized the broadcaster utility in BSP which creates the broadcast settings. I believe on similar lines it should be possible.

  • Blank report export to CSV fails

    Using the latest version of Crystal Reports runtime for Java, I'm trying to export a blank report to character-separated values (CSV).  The export fails when I try to call PrintOutputController.export().  Specifically, code execution appears to halt after calling export(), i.e., the call appears to do nothing but hang indefinitely, without returning anything.
    Is this a bug?  Since exporting a blank report to CSV would produce a zero-length text file, could it be that the SDK is waiting for some buffer to be populated, but it never is?

    i just tried this in 12.2.212.x and it creates a blank csv file. How do you have ur blank blank report? A report without datasource, fields parameters or really anything or a report which gets 0 records back from DB?
    Thanks

  • Scheduling Blank reports

    Hi i am a newbie so forgive me if this sounds like rubbish.  We have recently changed our Scheduling system from c-view manager (third party cheap schedular always going wrong) to buissness objects and the infoview way of the world.  In c-view we used to be able to schedule a report and if the report was blank it wouldn't send the email and attachement,  But in buissness objects, we can't seem to do this?  Can anyone help?  Is there a plug in or something?
    any help would be great!
    kind regards
    stefan

    Hello,
    at the moment there is no tool or plug in to avoid blank reports from being processed.
    The only possible approach is to postprocess these reports with the SDKs to react on the physical amount of data in reports. Please post if you want to go that way.
    Regards

  • Stop sending blank reports -publication

    i,
    We have created publication and setup profies using business objects XIR2.
    we have scheduling these reports.
    we are facing issue with blank reports.
    we are too many reports which run for given day and not all reports produce data for all the profiles and groups.
    is there way to stop sending blank reports when we scheduling publication.
    I have seen this link to generate error in report and stop sending the report.
    http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?t=90010
    is there any other through macro/program to do the same
    Regards
    Navin

    What is your report type?
    In XI 3.1 onwards, there is an option, delivery rules, in publication. I think the same feature is there in R2.
    If the report type is Crystal you can set it to Deliver if there is data
    if the report type DeskI/WebI, you can create formula like count(<object name>) > 0

  • Generating BIP report in RTF format generates blank report

    Hi all,
    When generating a BIP report in RTF format the report output is blank!?
    If I run the report in any other format the report displays the data correctly.
    We're running siebel 8.1.1.2 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1.
    When looking at the size of the report when the 'File Download' window appears it seem like the report contains data as the size is 62KB, compared to the pdf format which do display data is 20KB. The output generates the amount of pages that is needed for the report, but all pages are blank.
    The report is an activity List report with just one for-each statement in it.
    Has anybody come across the same?
    Regards,

    Hi alka,
    To invoke Word automatically, use command
    line options DESTYPE=CACHE,
    DESFORMAT=RTF and MIMETYPE=application/msword.
    This is an example URL: http://webserver:80/cg-bin/rwcgi60.exe?module
    =test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@mydb&
    destype=cache&desformat=rtf&mimetype=application/msword&server=myrepserver
    1. Check the appropriate mimetype setting for Word by Starting Windows Explorer,
    choose View -> Options from the menu, go to the File Type tab, find Microsoft
    Word Document in this list, click Edit, and get the value for Content Type
    (MIME). This is the value that needs to be used in the MIMETYPE command line
    option, and it will typically be application/msword, but may differ on
    different machines.

  • Blank report viewer control when adding a parameter to rdlc report

    Hi guys,
    I am currently generating a rdlc report in Visual Studio 2010 and embedding it into an asp page using a reportviewer control. My dataset is based on entity framework. The report runs fine and returns plenty of data in the format I want.
    Whenever I add a parameter to the report the reportviewer control on my page is just blank.
    I'm setting the parameter "available values" from a field in the same dataset used to generate the report but even if I add an empty parameter with no available values the reportviewer control is still blank.
    This is the same in both Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 5.
    Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    please check your report viewer property and make sure the parameter prompts property is true in your code
    rvReportViewer.ShowParameterPrompts =
    True

  • Get blank report in Crystal Report Viewer when exporting to PDF

    I have an application that creates reports in the CrystalReportViewer while at the same time exports a PDF of that report.  I am having a problem in which
    performing the export causes the report in the ReportViewer and the PDF report to be blank. They have the header and column labels but no data.  If I
    comment out the Me.Export(reportExportOptions) line at the end of the exportPDFReport method the report in the ReportViewer works fine, displaying
    data on the report. 
    I have other forms that perfrom this same type of function on different reports and work fine.  In fact they use the same exportPDFReport method.  This leads
    me to believe that a difference in the reports may be causing the problem.  But I can't figure out why.
    I am using .net 3.5 with Crystal Reports 2008 (CR2008) full edition in Visual Studio 2008.  Although the reports that work were probably created using
    VS 2005 and the VS 2005 edition of Crystal, and which have since been updated to CR2008.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem?  If so, how did you resolve it?
    Thanks for any help!

    Seems I had at one time hard coded a record selection statement that I forgot to remove which caused the report to be blank.  That solved my problem, but there still seems to be an issue in that the Crystal Report Viewer performed differently when I tried to export to PDF (no records displayed) then when I didn't (records displayed).

  • Crystal Reports 9 ActiveXViewer blank report

    Post Author: dougbaker
    CA Forum: Crystal Reports
    I had this same problem with Crystal 11 and opened a case, but it was never resolved because the client who had the problem accepted the workaround and was only going to be using our software package for a short time longer.  I haven't yet found anything relevant in the KB.
    I support an ASP (not ASP.NET) web application that uses the Crystal Reports ActiveXViewer which is downloaded from a web site running IIS 6.
    The ActiveXViewer download to the IE browser (6 or 7, it doesn't seem to matter) works fine.  But the report is completely blank.  I can resize, refresh, and use the various controls for the viewer, but nothing changes.  If I export the report to a word doc, it works and the data is in the word doc.  So, the workaround for Crystal 11, to export to a word doc and then print that, works for Crystal 9 as well.  My customer installed SP5 on the IIS machine, but that did not make any difference.
    I'm just wondering if anybody has run into anything like this.
