By default where do reports write output files on web server

I am running forms and reports over web. I am running a form which on the click of a button runs a report. Using the
Orarrp utility (I already have) I want to print this report.
In my form trigger I am using the run_report_object and I set report parameters DESTYPE to File, and I set
DESNAME giving it a file name. When report finishes, I use Show_Document('http://server:domain/filename.ext','_blank'), it returns the 404 error, The requested URL
/receipt.rrpa was not found on this server.
Can anyone tell me, by default where the server writes the file output? I have checked under
$ORACLE_HOME/reports60/server/cache but did not find my output file.
Is there a way to specifically direct the output file to a directory, and have the reports server recognize the path?
Perhaps using some sort of 'Virtual Path' in the server configuration, but where?
Any help is appreciated?
Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
In Oracle Reports 6i, reports is only written to cache when DESTYPE=cache. For DESTYPE=File, the report is wriiten in DESNAME mentioned.
Your URL : http://server:domain/filename.ext, filename.ext is respective to the WebServer root directory. Assume your Webserver roor directory is "d:\apache\home".
Set the DESNAME respective to your Webserver root directory (DESNAME=d:\apache\home\filename.ext).
With Regards

Hi,
destype file writes the file to wherever you send it to.
destype=file desname = c:\temp\myRep.html
creates the file myRep.html in the temp directory on the server. Destype 'cache' only writes to the Cache directory you mention. normally, if not giving any directory information, it's the working directory that the file gets created in. Do a seacrh for your file and I am sure that you'll find it.

Applet can't read local file on web server, security issue!

There is any way to read/write files of web server through the applet except the Signed Applet.
If any idea the reply me soon.
Thanks in advance

Applets are downloaded from web servers and execute on the client machine.
Therefore they have no access to the web server file system, signed or not.
They could have access to the client file system (the machine where they run),
but for security reasons only signed applets have this privilege.
So to answer your question, you sign if you want to access client files.
To access web server files, you don't need to sign the applet, but you need
to provide some method of accessing files remotely, for instance:
- Files published for the web can be read using HTTP
- Files can be read or writen with the help of an FTP server on the same machine as the web server
- A servlet running on the HTTP server can collaborate with your applet to exchange files

Hi experts,
I have made a JSP page from which clients load csv files to web server. I am using Tomca 4.1 as my web server and JDK 1.3.1_09.
The system works fine when uploadiing small csv files, but it crashes when uploading large CSV files.
It gives me the following error:

Please can anyone help me solve this problem for me...

I know it may be hard to throw away all this code, but consider using the jakarta fileupload component.
I think it would simplify your code down to
// Create a factory for disk-based file items
FileItemFactory factory = new DiskFileItemFactory();
// Create a new file upload handler
ServletFileUpload upload = new ServletFileUpload(factory);
// Parse the request
List /* FileItem */ items = upload.parseRequest(request);
// Process the uploaded items
Iterator iter = items.iterator();
while (iter.hasNext()) {
    FileItem item = (FileItem) iter.next();
    if (item.isFormField()) {
        processFormField(item);
    } else {
        // item is a file. write it
        File saveFolder = application.getRealPath("/file");
        File uploadedFile = new File(saveFolder, item.getName());
        item.write(uploadedFile);
}Most of this code was hijacked from http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/fileupload/using.html
Check it out. It will solve your memory problem by writing the file to disk temporarily if necessary.

Help Setting Up File and Web Server in OS 8.6

I have an OS 8.6 400mhz G3 B&W with 512mb RAM and an 80GB HD. It has the OEM operating system which is 8 on it. First I can't access the computer via afp from a Leopard Machine (Yes appletalk is enabled.). It gives me the error -36. Which is "The Finder can not complete the operation because some data in _____________ could not be read or written. I need this computer for a File and Web server. How could I make it accessible via AFP and FTP? I thought about linux but it requires a terminal like interface and I don't like that.

To begin with, have a look at the IV. Troubleshooting section of KB article 106461:
"Mac OS X 10.4 and later don't support Personal File Sharing (or other AFP) over Appletalk, though by initiating the connection from the opposite direction you could still achieve an IP connection from a Mac OS 8 computer to a sharing Mac OS X computer."
Regarding servers: There is a built-in web server in Mac OS 8.6 (see the help system for details). Alternatively, the (now) free NetPresenz could perhaps be of interest.

GR55-Report Writer output

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to get the output from Report writer (GR55) and send it as an XML attchment in a mail to receipient.
I have used the SUBMIT statement to access the GR55 in my Custom coding. I could find an option in GR55 to export the output in HTML format to SAP Memory. I am accessing this memory to read the output and send it as mail.
But my requirement is to send this output as XML attached. Can you please suggest me the possibilities of achieving this?
Thanks
Dhurga

Bala,
We want to use the portal to publish the reports too but NOT in SAPGUI on the web.
We were actually able to get it to work with an SAPGUI iView or "SAPGUI HTML" iView.
However we want to capture the output of the report writer reports and render them in ABAP or JAVA webdynpro technology.
Our Top Management does not like anything that resembles SAPGUI.
How did you all do it?
regards,
Atul

Read PDF Formatted Spool and write PDF File to Application Server

Currently as you can see I have commented out GUI_DOWNLOAD Function Module, But it works perfect when I try to Download file to Local Desktop.
But when I try to pass the same Contents to Application server file and then try to open it by downloading file then it opens BLANK pdf file.
As per requirements I should be able to write the file correctly on Application server and If I dowload it from there it should open PDF file correctly.
Let me know if you require further details about the issue.

How to write a file in unix server through oracle plsql code

Hi All,
My requirement is to create and write a file (any file for eg txt file) in unix box with in a specified directory through oracle plsql code.
Oracle sits in windows server.
using utl_file package we can create directory where oracle resides and write it there in oracle server in our case windows..
But here we need to create,write a file but in unix server which is different server than where the oracle server resides..
we are using Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.2.0 - Production
Can any one one please help me out in this issue...
Thanks in Advance.

Where I can find .WAR file for web UI?

I would like to use jakarta project
web container for webUI.How I can accomplish
this?

Hello, I mean tomcat of jakarta.apache.org project- it's web container but .war file is web application archive as specified in servlet 2.2 spec.
Why? I need support for latest spec. servlet 2.2/jsp 1.2 that provided by tomcat 4.0 beta(as standalone it's working fine for me;)). I'll be more concrete
I need sophisticated JSP rendering engine for:
Using JSPs of developer guide:
<
Deploying Java Beans and JSPs
All compiled Java Beans must be stored in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/ifs/custom_classes on the server where Oracle iFS is installed.
The Oracle iFS product comes with a starting-point directory structure. One of the folders in that structure is reserved for holding JSPs: $ORACLE_HOME/ifs/jsp-bin. To have your JSP compile and execute properly in Oracle iFS, you must store the JSP in this folder. JSPs stored elsewhere will not be executed by the Oracle iFS JSP compiler.
>
I would like to use web UI as frontend and my JSPs/servlets as extension of this application. It's easy create custom web app if I have ready .WAR file-it's portable
between web containers and well structured... For example this schema doesn't have such constraints as location of JSPs and beans support classes location is well known-
WEB-INF/classes for .WAR structured file, in WEB-INF/lib can be placed different ifs libs and all is clean and portable;).
I mean webUI must not be integrated part of ifs- it must be developer tool( extensible and reusable).By the way who give constraints on JSPs/classes location: HTTP server of ifs
or webUI?
It's very nice that IFS has such thing as webUI but that if I can use it as dead(stable) code:(. I need write myself webUI presenting IFS document structure but why?
Web UI is future(IE 5.5/w3 and other standards based;) so why put on it such restrictions.
Best regards.
P.S I can infiltrate web app from ifs- but it's not right(I can do something wrong).If I can help you somehow tell me.

Help on using servlets to write files to web server

Hi,
I am chetan from India, I have developed the WebSite www.bhavishya.net. I am encountering a serious problem in writing into a text file. I am unable to configure the path of the text file. While on Linux i got it (path - "/home/bhavishya/ErrorLog.txt"). But now i am using Windows Environment. The code is as follows.
public String ewrite(String str)
String err = "File updated";
try
Date d = new Date();
BufferedWriter bwout = null;
// for Web Server
try
//BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("/home/bhavishya/ErrorLog.txt", true)); // For Linux
bwout = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("./bhavishya/logs/ErrorLog.txt", true));
bwout.write(d.toLocaleString()+" : "+str+"\n");
catch (RuntimeException e1) {err = e1.toString(); e1.printStackTrace();}
System.out.println("ErrorLog - 21");
bwout.close();
catch (IOException e) { System.out.println(e); }
return err;
The file is neither created or written into even if i am creating it.
Regards,

Does the path to the file exist? Otherwise you should try adding a File.mkdirs() call in there to create the directory where you want to write the logfile to. Otherwise writing the file will fail.
