CGI call to Oracle Reports with embedded graph not executing triggers on bars

I have the following function which is suppose to change the color of the bars in subgroups.
PROCEDURE Set_Group_Color(elem IN og_object, a_group_index number) IS
v_color varchar2 (32);
v_temp og_object;
v_idx number;
BEGIN
v_temp := OG_GET_OBJECT ('GRPG_NM1_GRPG_CNT_legend_label');
v_temp := OG_GET_PARENT (v_temp);
v_color := color_list (a_group_index);
og_set_bfcolor (elem, v_color);
og_set_ffcolor (elem, v_color);
v_idx := a_group_index * 2 + 1;
v_temp := OG_GET_CHILD (v_temp, v_idx);
-- 0 = legend_frame
-- 1 = border of color box (no name)
-- 2 = GRPG_NM1_GRPG_CNT_legend_label
-- 3 = border of color box of next group
-- 4 = GRPG_NM2_GRPG_CNT_legend_label
OG_SET_BFCOLOR (v_temp, v_color);
END;
This function is called from the format trigger of the bars themselves. The code works the way i want it to in the ORacle Graphics designer but when i executed from the web the triggers are not executed at all!!!
Am i forgetting to do something? Is this a known bug. When i put a format trigger on the graph axis-labels they execute correctly in both the designer and the web. But the bar triggers do not!

1. Along with this version of Reports you should find the reports server (r30mts on unix). This will allow you to deploy your reports on the web - on HP/UX or Solaris.
2. To web deploy you have:
Web Browser --->
Web Listener + Reports CGI ----->
Reports Server -->
RDBMS
3. You don't need the cartridge if you are using the CGI.
For more information, please look at the Reports Server Configuration whitepaper, available on OTN - it was written for Reports 6.0, but the concepts and architecture are applicable for Reports 3.0

  • Report with embedded Graph

    Hello,
    When generating a PDF file from an RDF file with an embedded pie chart, the graphic within the resulting PDF file is altered and does not look like the one in the report.
    I am using Oracle 8i Release 8.1.5.0.0 and Report Builder 6.0.8.8.3
    Thanks.

    If you want to display 4 decimal places you need to set decimalDigit="4". Also, make sure nothing is happening to the value before your graph gets it that would cause it not to display correctly.
    Here is what the DTD for graphs looks like for the ViewFormat element:
    <!-- ViewFormat specifies number formatting-->
       <!ELEMENT ViewFormat EMPTY >
       <!-- ViewFormat attributes
       numberType: format numbers as currency or percent?
       thousandSeparator: character for separating thousands
       decimalSeparator: character for separating whole number from decimal
       currencySymbol: currency symbol; numberType must be NUMTYPE_CURRENCY
       leadingZero: display leading zeros?
       decimalDigit: number of decimal digits to display
       posNumFmt: format for positive numbers
       negNumFmt: format for negative numbers
       posCurFmt: format for positive currency
       negCurFmt: format for negative currency
       scaleFactor: how much to scale (abbreviate) numbers
       scaleDownThousands: character(s) to use when numbers represent thousands
       scaleDownMillions: character(s) to use when numbers represent millions
       scaleDownBillions: character(s) to use when numbers represent billions
       scaleDownTrillions: character(s) to use when numbers represent trillions
       scaleDownQuadrillions: character(s) to use when numbers represent
            quadrillions
       javaDateFormat: Java date format
       oracleDateFormat: Oracle date format
    "used" attributes specify whether one of the above properties has
       been explicitly set; used for merging when using rules
       -->You would put this inside your X or Y axis element like:
    <Y1Axis lineWidth="1">
    <ViewFormat decimalDigit="4" decimalSeparator="." decimalDigitUsed="true" decimalSeparatorUsed="true"/>
    </Y1Axis>I don't see your X axis anywhere...maybe it it your "O1Axis" but I don't see that either, I only see "O1Title","O1TickLabel", etc.

  • Calling Oracle Reports with paramters

    it would be great, if it is possible to call an oracle report9i with a paramter. The call of oracle report works well, when the button with the URL (for example: http://oas-haj02.hlf.de:7779/reports/rwservlet?CR_FORMULAR) is pressed. Now i want to pass the value of an item of a htmldb-page to the reports as a paramter. How must the URL look like, that it work?

    Jochen,
    sorry for my last post, I was too hasty.
    It was the right answer for the wrong question ;). My solution addressed a report, not calling the url from a button.
    This is a bit difficult, since you cannot really add attributes to the hyperlink of the button (or additional handlers to the html button).
    So I guess you have two options:
    1) create your own button template and code the anchor tag with the attribute target="_blank".
    2) use javascript in the url:
    javascript:popupURL('http://oas-haj02.hlf.de:7779/reports/rwservlet?CR_FORMULAR');BTW, why don't you want to use javascript? It is used by HTML DB all the time.

  • Oracle Reports with XML output showing data as asterik character

    Hello,
    I'm trying to create an Oracle report with xml output. Here is the issue I'm having some of the columns in my report are of datatype number. When I run the report and generate xml file the values for those columns(datatype number) are showing as (*) character, other columns are showing fine. But when I run the report as text output then data is fine. I don't understand why this is happening.
    The property of column is Column Type - Database Scalar, Datatype - Number , width 0,-127.
    Does the width has to do anything with this?
    I'm using Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3, DB version 10g.
    Can anyone please help me with the issue I'm having.
    Thanks

    If the links in your example report1 and report2

    server=<YourReportServerName> is the name of

  • CR report with embedded SWF: Export to PDF displays nothing

    I'm creating CR 2008 reports with embedded SWFs as described in the whitepaper [EMBEDDING XCELSIUS 2008 VISUALIZATIONS IN CRYSTAL REPORTS 2008|http://www.businessobjects.com/pdf/product/catalog/crystalreports/cr_xc_integration.pdf].
    From CR, I can export the report to html and view the report fine. But when I export to pdf, ppt, etc. The SWFs are not viewable. Is this a bug or by design?
    This section of the white paper seems to imply that maybe you cannot export to pdf:

    I'm using the latest version of Adobe products:

    - Adobe Flash Player Plugin, Version 9.0.115.0
    - Adobe Reader 9, Version 9.0.0
    Also, I downloaded [CR Viewer 2008|http://www.businessobjects.com/product/catalog/crystalreports_viewer/] and can see the CR reports I've created with embedded Xcelsius swfs.
    Any information is appreciated. Thanks.
    Tim

    > ... it states in your first post, the export is not supported,
    True. It says:
    > Exporting and printing of Flash objects with connections to Crystal Reports data is not supported.
    But I can export such reports to html and view and print the flash objects.
    It seems inconsistent to me. I can export static flash charts to pdf, yet I cannot export dynamic flash charts to pdf, which is from Adobe, as is Flash?
    I'm hoping this is a temporary bug either in Crystal or pdf reader and is to be fixed in a patch release. Or an explanation of why the limitations exist.
    Thanks for the response.

  • Hide number (or format number) on Oracle Report with Barcode

    Hi al !
    i have done a example about print Barcode on Oracle Report

    i want : hide : "123456" or format it : "123.456"
    Thanks !

    Hello,
    The Image is generated by the java code in oraclebarcode.jar
    It is possible to "hide" a part of the image by puting an object ("rectangle" for example ) over the part of the image you want to hide.

  • How to call an Oracle Report from a Self Service HR page.

    Hi,
    I am trying to call an Oracle Report from a Self Service HR page. I personalized the page to add a button and link the report's URL to that button; but I am having issues passing/manipulating parameters to this report.
    Is there a better approach to do this, please post your suggestions. Also If you can direct me to some usefull documentation that will be great.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Tapash,
    Thanks for reponding.
    Here is the URL I am currently using :
    https://gccss.glendale.edu:8001/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=rep60_crp3+userid=apps/pswd@crp3+report=/u07/oracle/crp3appl/gcccus/11.5.0/reports/US/GCC_ACCRUAL_BAL_0505.rdf+desformat=html+paramform=yes+destype=cache+p_accesscode=""
    The p_accesscode is the parameter I need to pass to the Oracle report.
    Currently, when I click the button, it invokes the above URL and takes me to the parameter form of the Oracle report and when I enter the Username, it runs the report and displays the desired output. But, what I need to achieve is, to pass the current user who has logged in behind the scene and to get rid of the parameter screen totally. Is this doable ? If yes, please help me !!!
    Thanks

  • Any tool to search Crystal Reports with embedded SQL

    We have hundreds of Crystal Reports with embedded sql statements which have been developed over the years.  Is there any tool which will allow us to scan all of the reports to see which ones might use a certain table, or is using a "group by" clause, or whatever ?
    We'd prefer to not have to open each report to view the embedded sql.
    Any thing that will extract the sql for us and dump it to a file ??
    We have the reports as regular disk files, but they are also published to our Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 system (just an fyi in case there's an option on that side).

  • Embedding Fonts in Oracle Reports with PDF output

    I've read in the data sheet for Oracle reports that you can embed font in the PDF output, but I cannot seem to find any documentation on how this is done. Current we have PDF reports being generated using reports server on Compaq (Alpha based) server running TRUE64 UNIX. The reports server uses the fonts install on the Compaq to figure out the layout (we use auto-sized fields). When the PDF is displayed on a Windows client the fonts are substituted and the labels and fields overlap. I want to embed the UNIX fonts into the PDF so that the output is reproduced as it was generated.

    You need to export as PDF (Interactive) and you also need to view the PDF in Reader or Acrobat 9 or later.

  • Calling an Oracle Report from a database trigger

    At the moment I have an Oracle form with a timer checking a table for new orders. when
    the form finds new orders an oracle report is run from the form (sending it to the printer directly) with the run_product procedure with parameters being passed also.
    Is there a way to run the report directly from a database/table trigger (also passing parameters)? or failing that how about a batch file or something.
    Info:
    I am using forms/reports 6.
    I believe the database is 7.x

    hello,
    assuming you are using the oracle reports server, you can use UTIL_HTTP to submit a job to the server using http.
    with oracle9i reports we will introduce a feature called event-based reporting API. a plsql package that allows you not only to submit jobs but also check their status.
    oracle9i reports will be part of iAS Release 2.
