Can I use Oracle Report Server to print from APEX? How?

Hello, we have Oracle Application server, Oracle Report server and now we just installed APEX and doing a pilot project. Since we don't have BI Publisher, how can we use our Oracle Report server to print from apex report? Can it be done and if yes where can I get some detail info that I can share with our DBA?
I have in past asked questions about the printing issues but I have been refered to http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html#01 section 5 which talks about another installation.
Thanks so very much for any info.

You can use FOP, but the formatting of the xsl (Xml Style Sheets) takes a little work. If you have the Oracle Reports server up and access to the development product, why not go that route?
You want the filtering and sorting and searching, yes, but then you also want to print them out.. Then you would probably be best looking at replacing the Oracle Reports setup with BI Publisher. You can convert Most your reports over to bi publisher layouts easily.. (I have heard of some reports that do require recreating in Bi Publisher from Oracle Reports..)
Then you can have your Apex Reports and call Bi Publisher from APEX and everyone wins..
Is your Oracle Reports stuff used by non-APEX applications, that could be modified to use Bi Publisher?
Thank you,

  • Can I use Oracle app server with mysql

    Can I use Oracle app server with mysql. I seem to have the following error when trying to create a datastore. I have mysql.jar in my classpath. Can any one tell me what's wrong.

    Yes you can forward requests from your own apache to the iAS. This can be done using mod_proxy. Some hints about how to do this are availlable on this forum.
    mod_oc4j is not a standard apache module, and therefore is not availlable when you download apache. There is no apparent reason to use mod_oc4j on a "regular" webserver (unless you want to build your own iAS). Also there might be some licenseing issues with using mod_oc4j module on a standard apache.
    You can encrypt data that is passed from a random Apache to you iAS.

  • Can we use oracle reports with php

    hello
    any body know about that oracle reports can use in php or not if not any reason if can use any example oracle report and php ill very thankful to all for this help bye
    from farooq

    It depends on what you mean by 'use oracle reports within php'. If you generate reports as urls (don't know if oracle reports supports this but I think it does), you can just link to them or catch them in an iframe.
    If you are talking about generating a report from inside a php script, you can use a system() call to execute oracle reports tools such as 'rwrun'. If you do this, make sure your php server has proper oracle environment variables (such as ORACLE_HOME)

  • Using Oracle Application Server -- PHP 4.3 - oci8 -- How to connect to db?

    Hi All,
    We are running php from Oracle Application server, which means Php version 4.3.
    All of the example connection strings I am finding use oci_connect, which is not available in this version.
    Can someone provide an example that we could use to connect to an Oracle DB from php for this version?
    Much thanks,
    ~Chris

    1. Correct the following path
    extension_dir = "D:/php/ext"
    (if your php is installed in D:/php, the above path is correct.
    2. Find the line ;extension=php_oci8.dll
    delete comment sign (;) and it will be :
    extension=php_oci8.dll

  • Oracle Report Server Issue with Japanese Characters

    We are trying to setup a Oracle Report Server to print the Japanese characters in the PDF format.
    We have separate Oracle Report servers for printing English, Chinese and Vietnamese characters in PDF formats using Oracle Reports in the production which are running properly with Unix AIX version 5.3. Now we have a requirement to print the Japanese characters. Hence we tried to setup the new server for the same and the configurations are done as same as Chinese/Vietnamese report servers. But we are not able to print the Japanese characters.
    I am providing the details which we followed to configure this new server.
    1.     We have modified the reports.sh to map the proper NLS_LANG (JAPANESE_AMERICA.UTF8) and other Admin folder settings.
    2.     We have configured the new report server via OPMN admin.
    3.     We have copied the arialuni.ttf to Printers folder and we have converted this same .ttf file in AFM format. This AFM file has been copied to $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/gk/JP_Admin/AFM folder.
    4.     We have modified the uifont.ali (JP_admin folder) file for font subsetting.
    5.     We have put an entry in JP_admin/PPD/datap462.ppd as *Font ArialUnicodeMS: Standard "(Version 1.01)" Standard ROM
    6.     We have modified the Tk2Motif.rgb (JP_admin folder) file for character set mapping (Tk2Motif*fontMapCs: iso8859-1=UTF8) as we have enabled this one for other report servers as well.
    Environment Details:-
    Unix AIX version : 5300-07-05-0831
    Oracle Version : 10.1.0.4.2
    NLS_LANG : JAPANESE_AMERICA.UTF8
    Font Mapping : Font Sub Setting in uifont.ali
    Font Used for Printing : arialuni.ttf (Font Name : Arial Unicode MS)
    The error thrown in the rwEng trace (rwEng-0.trc) file is as below
    [2011/9/7 8:11:4:488] Error 50103 (C Engine): 20:11:04 ERR REP-3000: Internal error starting Oracle Toolkit.
    The error thrown when trying to execute the reports is…
    REP-0177: Error while running in remote server
    Engine rwEng-0 crashed, job Id: 67
    Our investigations and findings…
    1.     We disabled the entry Tk2Motif*fontMapCs: iso8859-1=UTF8 in Tk2Motif.rgb then started the server. We found that no error is thrown in the rwEng trace file and we are able to print the report also in PDF format… (Please see the attached japarial.pdf for your verification) but we are able to see only junk characters. We verified the document settings in the PDF file for ensuring the font sub set. We are able to see the font sub setting is used.
    2.     If we enable the above entry then the rwEng trace throwing the above error (oracle toolkit error) and reports engine is crashed.
    It will be a great help from you if you can assist us to resolve this issue…

    Maybe 7zip or another tool has workarounds for broken file names, you could try that.
    Or you could try to go over the files in the zip archive one-by-one and write it to files out-1, out-2, ..., out-$n without concerning yourself with the file names. You could get file endings back via the mimetype.
    This script might work:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <zip.h>
    static const char *template = "./out-%04d.bin";
    int main(int argc, char**argv)
    int err = 0;
    zip_t *arc = zip_open((const char*)argv[1], ZIP_RDONLY, &err);
    if(arc == NULL)
    printf("Failed to open ZIP, error %d\n", err);
    return -1;
    zip_int64_t n = zip_get_num_entries(arc, 0);
    printf("%s: # of packed files: %d\n", argv[1], n);
    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    zip_stat_t stat;
    zip_stat_index(arc, i, ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED, &stat);
    char buf[stat.size];
    char oname[sizeof(template)];
    zip_file_t *f = zip_fopen_index(arc, (zip_int64_t)i, ZIP_FL_UNCHANGED);
    zip_fread(f, (void*)&buf[0], stat.size);
    snprintf(&oname[0], sizeof(template), template, i);
    FILE *of = fopen(oname, "wb");
    fwrite(&buf[0], stat.size, 1, of);
    printf("%s: %s => %lu bytes\n", argv[1], oname, stat.size);
    zip_fclose(f);
    fclose(of);
    zip_close(arc);
    return 0;
    Compile with
    gcc -std=gnu99 -O3 -o unzip unzip.c -lzip
    and run as
    ./unzip $funnyzipfile
    You should get template-named, numbered output files in the current directory.

  • Oracle Report Server wierd problem

    Hi All,
    I am facing very wierd problem with oracle report server.
    I am using Oracle Report Server 10g R1. The problem I am facing is as under:
    There is custom parameter form where user enters report filter criteria and press a button to create the report.
    The problem is that report is giving output some times and sometimes it gives no output at all. Both the times, the parameters passed by user are same. The report executions are done for both runs one after other. We have tried to look in report server trace file but could not find anything. When report server fails to give any data in the report, at the same time, we have tried to execute the report query on SQL prompt and it did return data.
    Can any one give any hint where the problem could be ?
    Thanks,
    Ramchandra Jetwani

    Hi,
    When i used to get only one page the options like facing, continuous facing are disabled. And displays only single page.
    These options are enabled only when there are multiple pages in pdf.
    One more thing i found that it happens when I first view the report as pdf it displays
    all the pages, then i change the display format to csv and again when i change
    the format to pdf the problem starts.
    And when I will restart the report server service, it works fine again until i wont view it in CSV format.

  • Creating reports using oracle application server

    Hello All,
    I am a complete newbie with Oracle Application Server(OAS) and Oracle reports. My task is to generate HTML and PDF reports using OAS. The current application has a aspx pages(ASP.NET as front end) which calls a third party tool Fast Radar Report which fetches data as per the user need(like month, day, year, product name....) and displays it in a grid format. I have to remove the FastRadar part and use OAS's OracleAS Reports Services components to generate those reports
    I went through chapter 12 of Oracle.Application.Server.10g.Essentials by OReilly 2004 edition
    It briefly glances through that part. But, it seems to mention about Oracle Reports something like "Oracle Reports has a wizard-based frontend called Oracle Reports Developer that can build reports. Oracle Reports Developer is part of the Oracle Developer Suite. The reports created with Oracle Reports Developer can be deployed to the Web using OracleAS Reports Services support in Oracle Application Server."
    I am unclear what to do. Do I need to create the report format in Oracle Reports using wizard-based frontend called Oracle Reports Developer and then deploy it using OracleAS Reports Services?
    Or, is there a way to create the report format using OracleAS Reports Services without using Oracle Reports. I am told we have just OAS installed, don't know if Oracle reports is installed or not as it is done on a remote site.
    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    One has to develop reports using Oracle Reports developer and then has to deploy it into the application server. To do so you need the Oracle developer suite installed, this has wizards which can be used to develop reports.
