Can't generate SPREADSHEET output in Reports 10.1.2.0.2

We are using Reports 10.1.2.0.2. I want to generate in my (Not deployed in the AS) PC a simple tabular report but in spreadsheet format. I use this command line command in a batch file.
d:\OracleDevR1\bin\rwrun.exe    USERID=user1/user123@db1
    REPORT=c:\temp\rpt_10gr2_101202_1.rep
    DESFORMAT=spreadsheet
   DESTYPE=FILE
DESNAME=c:\temp\rpt_10gr2_101202_1_excel_output.xls   I get this error in the log file
REP-0826: Invalid printer driver
'spreadsheet' specified by parameter
DESFORMAT.However, I can generate DESFORMAT=HTML, DESFORMAT=PDF output. The HTML and PDF files are created.
What is the problem here?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I even installed Excel 2007 but still gives the same error.

Hi,
this is very weird as it should work fine in 10.1.2.0.2. I tested rwrun with desformat=spreadsheet on Windows and on Linux with base release (10.1.2.0.2) and it worked fine so not sure what is happening with your environment.
My only suggestions would be as follow
1- Make sure you are using a report with paper layout and no web layout
2- Aapply patchset 10.1.2.3 and re-try.

Regards, RobertoSorry Roberto, I have mistakenly used the 10G release 1 EXE. When I use my 10g R2 exe we can generate spreadsheet format. BUT, the spreadsheet is useless for complex reports. The excel sheet is not readable since lots of blank lines added and also lots of blank columns added. No images also there that is found in the PDF output. So, it's not WYSIWYG type output.
We are now trying to patch the 10g r2 to 10.1.2.3 and use the ENHANCEDSPREADSHEET format.

Can not generate PDF Output in RoboHelp 11

Can not generate PDF Output. I keep getting the same error message:
"Microsoft® Word has not been started on this computer.
Launch Word and click the 'Start using Microsoft® Word' option before generating Printed Documentation again."
I have MS Office 2013 32-bit and RoboHelp on a 64-bit Wondows desktop.
What do am I doing wrong?

Is the 32 bit version of Word the only version of Word you have on the machine?
Where does Word's normal.dot reside? On your local machine? Sometimes it gets put on a network drive and that can cause problems.

Generating delimited output from Reports Runtime R60

When generating a delimited file using Runtime how can you predict or determine how Oracle will form the output rows from the report layout? Does anyone have any documentation on Runtime that explains the generation process as there is nothing in the Runtime Reference manual.

The only documentation (such that it is) that I've found on this is in MetaLink, in Note 68245.1 "Delimited Output in Reports" and a tiny bit more in Note 120072.1 "Suppressing header on delimited output".

CPU usage while generating text output from reports

hi
while we attempt to generate the text (delimited) output from reports and when the query fetches more than 1500 rows, the cpu usage stays around 100% for long time paralysing the operation...
we faced the problem when we attempted to generate text output for around 10000 records.
any suggestions?

You can burst with eText and I have done it
successfully.
I don't believe pagebreaks are an option in eText and
I don't think it makes sense either since your
generating a flat-file and not a customer or internal
facing document. Does that make sense?
Also, if you would like you can use the
BIPublisherIDE, this code can be converted pretty
easily to handle jcp. There is a an oa framework
version I have developed but I haven't posted on my
blog yet. I plan on adding a bolt on for java
concurrent programs soon. it's really pretty simple
just haven't had the time.

Thanks Ike for your reply.
I agree with your points on TXT files, but in our case,the reports are generated in TXT format for the customer so we are looking for the above mentioned features.
I have gone through BIP IDE and its a wonderful small utility which eases the task of BIP development.
As I mentioned in my original post that we are currently processing the generated TXT report using a custom util. in JAVA to get the desired output in TXT again.
I assume thats not what a JCP would do,so I am looking to explore that too.
As I understand the process for report generation is
1. Generate XSL from eTEXT template.
2. Get the XML data from DB using XDO
3. Apply XSL on XML to get the required template.
If we are looking to achieve some customizations then we need to have the XSL generated with those customizations.
In this case, where do we plug in the JCP to alter XSL or am I missing something.

Can we generate the output of SQL Query in XML format ..

Hi Team,
Can we generate an XML doc for an SQL Query.
I've seen in SQL Server 2000.It is generating the output of an SQL Query in xml format.
select * from emp for xml auto
The output looks like
<emp EMPNO="7369" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="20"/><emp EMPNO="7370" ENAME="SMITH" JOB="CLERK" MGR="7902" HIREDATE="1980-12-17T00:00:00" SAL="2800" DEPTNO="10"/>

Just a little bit of short hand.
Get the XML out of your database, via HTTP
Of course the easiest method is just to return an XMLType from a stored procedure and let the calling routine figure out what to do with it. Instead
of that way though, I'll show you how to do it via HTTP. It's all completely built into 10g and is super easy to use.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW emps_and_depts AS
SELECT e.employee_id AS "EmployeeId",
e.last_name AS "Name",
e.job_id AS "Job",
e.manager_id AS "Manager",
e.hire_date AS "HireDate",
e.salary AS "Salary",
e.commission_pct AS "Commission",
XMLFOREST (
d.department_id AS "DeptNo",
d.department_name AS "DeptName",
d.location_id AS "Location"
) AS "Dept"
FROM employees e, departments d
WHERE e.department_id = d.department_id
Some people hear web and immediately start salivating about security issues. Let me address that quickly. Just because you have the HTTP and/or
FTP servers running in the database, that does not mean you have a security problem. For one, I would hope your databases are behind a firewall.
Second, with the correct architecture (DMZ, app servers, etc) you can make this data available outside the firewall fairly transparently and third,
just because it's on the web does not mean the data MUST be available on the internet. This is a good way to make your data available on your
intranet. If you are worried about people INSIDE your firewall, that still doesn't preclude web based access. Follow Oracle security guidelines.
Before I show you how to get to your data, let's talk about URLs and URIs. A URL is a Uniform Resource Locater and URI is a Uniform Resource
Identifier. A URL is the way you would identify a document on the net, i.e. http://www.oracle.com is a URL. A URI is a more generic form of a URL.
Oracle supports three types of URI: HTTPURIType - basically a URL (which would be like the URL above), XDURIType - a pointer to an XDB resource
(usually an XML document but can be other objects), and DBURIType - a pointer to database objects.
It's the DBURIType that we're going to concentrate on here. The DBURIType let's us reference database objects using a file/folder paradigm. The
format for a DBURI is /oradb/<schema>/<table>. Oradb is shorthand for the database; it is not the database name or SID. My database is named XE
but I still use oradb in the DBURI. For example, the view we created above is in my XE database, is owned by HR (at least in my case) and is called
EMPS_AND_DEPTS. This can be referenced as /oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS.
If the view had many rows and you wanted only one of them, you can restrict it by including a predicate. The documentation for XDB has a great
write up on Using DBURIs.In our case, we are going to write out the entire document. Now that you understand that the DBURI is a pointer to
objects in our instance, we can use that to access the data as a URL.
The format for the URL call is http://<machinename>:<port>/<DBURI>
In my case, my XE database is running on a machine called mach1 and is listening on port 8080. So to see the view we created above, I open my
browser and navigate to: http//mach1:8080/oradb/HR/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
The created URL will be as http//mach1:8080/oradb/PUBLIC/EMPS_AND_DEPTS
If your database is set up correctly and listening on port 8080 (the default), your browser should ask you to login. Login as the user who created the
view (in my case HR). You should now get an XML document displayed in your browser.
And that's it. It doesn't get much simpler than that. If you get rid of the descriptive text above, it basically comes down to:
Create a table or view
Open your web browser
Enter a URL
Enter a user ID and password
View your XML
If you notice, Oracle formatted the data as XML for us. Our view returns scalar columns and an XML fragment called Dept. Oracle formatted the
return results into an XML format.
And as a side note, if you look closely, you'll see that my URL has PUBLIC where I said to put HR. PUBLIC is a synonym for all objects that your
logged in user can see. That way, if your user has been granted select access on many schemas, you can use PUBLIC and see any of them.

Spreadsheet output from reports posting to multiple cells instead of one

Hi all, using Report Builder 10.1.2.2.0
ORACLE Server Release 10.1.0.5.0.
I have a report that creates its output as an excel file using desformat=spreadsheet. The problem I am having is with fields that contain a large amount of text with formatting characters in them. In particular, carriage returns. When this data is created in excel, it treats the carriage return as a new cell, so instead of putting all the data for that column into one cell, it creates a number of cells and merges them all together.
Is there anyway to get around this? I know excel can support line breaks within a cell, is it a limitation of oracle reports to be unable to duplicate this output?

For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
Here's a workaround for your three adjacent columns. Long, but fairly simple steps.
Add a second table to the sheet (Table 2).
Resize the second table to one column wide and as many rows as you want to apply the conditional format to.
Set the width of the column to the same width as the three columns you want to highlight, and the row height(s) to match the rows.
Format to table to have NO Header or Footer row or column.
Use the Wrap Inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
In the first top cell of Table 2, enter an = sign, then Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, Click on the first cell that will hold YES or NO.
Fill the formula down the rest of Table 2.
With all cells in Table 2 selected, use the Cell Format inspector to set the 'text contains yes' rule and the conditional fill colour for these cells.
Test the conditional formating by introducing values into Table 1.
Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, then use the Table inspector to set Cell Fill to 'none'.
Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then drag that table onto table 1 aligning it to cover the cells in which the conditional formating is to appear.
When positioned (and still selected), go to the Arrange menu and Send Backward to move Table 2 behind the (transparent) cells in Table 1.
With Table 2 still selected, click on the Cell Borders color well and set the Opacity of the borders to 0%.
Click the Text inspector and set the Text colour Opacity for Table 2 to 0%.

Can i generate PWM output from digital out of my PCI 7041 RT DAQ card?

I want to generate 4 PWMs using my PCI7041 card. I do have only 2 analog outputs and 2 counters to output my signal that's why I want to use digital out of my card for PWM. How can I do that? If there is any example then please let me guide that way.

Hello rajen,
There is a good link to PWM in LabVIEW using counters here.
As for using analog output, you will need to be able to continuously update your output waveform. I've attached a program that demonstrates this. Hope this info is helpful.

How can I generate digital output?

I was introduced to LabVIEW and NI Elvis last month and I have been asked to generate three digital signals to control three different relays.
what are the basic steps I have to do to generate the signals

You may want to start with this overview.
Your specific application is rather easy, so you may be able to even use the parallel port to control the relays, but that depends on the type of relay, current source/sink requirements, voltage requirements, etc.

Can SE generate an output signal that is the derivative of an input signal?

It there a "step" available in SE to calculate the derivative/integral of an input signal?

Querty999,
This functionality is not natively available in Signal Express. However, it is possible to run a LabVIEW VI from Signal Express. Here is an example from our website that has already created the VI to do the derivative with instructions for how to call it from Signal Express.

Learning how to look things up in the documentation is time well spent investing in your career. To that end, you should drop everything else you are doing and do the following:
Go to [url tahiti.oracle.com]tahiti.oracle.com.
Locate the link for your Oracle product and version, and click on it.
You are now at the entire documentation set for your selected Oracle product and version.
BOOKMARK THAT LOCATION
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what is available here. Take special note of the "books" and "search" tabs. Under the "books" tab (for 10.x) or the "Master Book List" link (for 11.x) you will find the complete documentation library.
Spend a few minutes just getting familiar with what kind of documentation is available there by simply browsing the titles under the "Books" tab.
Open the Reference Manual and spend a few minutes looking through the table of contents to get familiar with what kind of information is available there.
Do the same with the SQL Reference Manual.
Do the same with the Utilities manual.
You don't have to read the above in depth. They are reference manuals. Just get familiar with what is there to be referenced. Ninety percent of the questions asked on this forum can be answered in less than 5 minutes by simply searching one of the above manuals.
Then set yourself a plan to dig deeper.
- Read a chapter a day from the Concepts Manual.
- Take a look in your alert log. One of the first things listed at startup is the initialization parms with non-default values. Read up on each one of them (listed in your alert log) in the Reference Manual.
- Take a look at your listener.ora, tnsnames.ora, and sqlnet.ora files. Go to the Network Administrators manual and read up on everything you see in those files.
- When you have finished reading the Concepts Manual, do it again.

Oracle Report call Oracle Report to generate single output

Is it possible for an Oracle Report to call another Oracle Report and generate single output?
Report one is a form letter and the second report is the accompanying information described in the letter. The reports cannot be merged because the second report is very complex and used by many programs and purposes.
Using 6i on 10g database, currently migrating to 11g Reports and database.
Thank you.

6i is not certified with 10g DatabaseWell, that is not completely true. 6i Even works and is partly certified against 11g, since Oracle Apps 11 is built in Developer 6i and certified against 11g.
To call a report from a report use SRW.RUN_REPORT.

Generating pdf output with webhelp look and functionality not like a print documentation

Hi I have been using robohelp webhelp for our company online help documentation. Can I generate pdf output which has the same look and functionality as that of webhelp, using robohelp??

Welcome to our community
While you may certainly generate a PDF that contains the same information, it likely will not look exactly like WebHelp and it certainly will not behave as WebHelp.
WebHelp is intended for on-line use while the PDF is really intended for printing if one chooses to.
Cheers... Rick

Easiest and/or best methods for generating XML output (not with a report)

Hi, several of our EBS customers (11.5.10) are converting their PDF reports to use XML/BI publisher to produce output. The data stream comes from a report that generates the XML output, and then the XML template is applied. This works great ... no problems, etc. From what I have read, however, Oracle intends to treat the traditional Forms and Reports Developers as legacy tools (although still supporting them, of course).
My question is if I wanted to ditch using Reports to generate XML output, what, in your opinion or in your current usage, is the easiest way of getting this data? In Reports, the data modeler is excellent in providing a method to write your queries, split them into different repeating groups, write formula and summary columns, link multiple queries, etc, etc. If one were to become Reports Developer free, what comparable tools are available to take its place? I would expect this tool to handle a mix of GUI and coding like the Reports data modeler. Please note that I'm not looking for an EBS-specific solution -- say for a custom application using regular Oracle 10g DB and iAS, with BI Publisher for reporting.
Thanks for your feedback,
Ryan

What I'm looking for is to not use Oracle Reports to generate the XML data output since Oracle's statement of direction is pushing BI Publisher rather than Oracle Reports as the preferred tool for reporting. That said, the data modeler in Reports provides a very flexible tool to construct and link multiple queries and to manipulate the queries into several levels of a master/detail relationship. Further, the mix of GUI and coding makes setting up the data model a lot more efficient. What I'm looking for (and I don't know if anything exists) is something comparable that can be used to generate XML output from the DB -- the idea being that I wouldn't use legacy tools, like Reports, for this task. I hope that is clearer.
Really, another way of answering my question is, aside from Reports and the APIs mentioned so far, what are my fellow developers using, if anything, to extract XML data in a way that handles the features i list above?
