Change report direction

hi all
can i change the report direction at run time based on a parameter
and how can i display message in the report?
thanks

Hi!
There is a system parameter in every report called Orientation.
You can change the value to Portrait or Landscape.
For messages use the srw.message build-in like
begin
srw.message ( 12345, 'your message );
return ( true );
end;Regards

Q:- Migrating version 6 Web Analysis reports directly to version 11 ??

Trying to migrate version 6 Web Analysis reports directly to version 11.1.1.2 without first migrating to version 9, because of some time constraints.
Overall it works fine, except for some issue with PV (Personal Variables) in those reports.
The PVs are present in the version 6 xml export file, but somehow not being picked up in version 11.1.1.2 Web Analysis import.
Has anyone tried to migrate version 6 Web Analysis reports to version 11.1.1.2 and faced this kind of issue?
I am wondering if there is any change in the xml tags because of which the migration from 6 to 11 is not working.
Anyone has any thoughts or ideas to quickly migrate web Analysis reports from 6 to 11. There are hundreds of reports that need to be migrated.

Hi,
Welcome to Forums...!
I think we need to change the database connection details in the Web analysis.
goto file --> Edit --> browse the database connection then change the server name in the connection details.
may be this will help to resolve your issue.
Thanks,

Form 6i printing report directly to printer

Hi Professionals,
I am in badly need of help to print my barcode report directly to printer from form, currently it is working fine if i make it preview first and then user has to select network printer to print, but user is not accepting that manual step, and therefore we are unable to launch our material management module.
MY CURRENT CODE WHICH WORKING FINE WITH PREVIEW..................
add_parameter(PL_ID, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'PREVIEW');
add_parameter(PL_ID, 'MAXIMIZE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'YES');
add_parameter(pl_id,'paramform',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
add_parameter(pl_id,'STR',TEXT_PARAMETER,:IM_STR_ISSUE_MASTER.STR_CODE);
add_parameter(pl_id,'BAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,:IM_STR_ISSUE_DETAILS.BAT_ID);

RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,'F:\IMS\REPORTS\STOCK_IN_BARCODE.rep',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,PL_ID);
IF I CHANGE IT TO THE FOLLOWING FOR DIRECT PRINTING IT IS NOT WORKING
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'PRINTER');
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'DESNAME', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'SOLABEL');
I appreciate any efforts to resolve this issue.
Thanks

Guide to Implement local printing on client in 10gas/9ias
To archive this goal we have used orarrp(Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility), which can be downloaded from the OTN website http://otn.oracle.com/sample/products/reports/index.html.
Steps:
1.Add the required ORARRP mime types to the Oracle HTTP Server configuration.
(Note: This will be the Oracle HTTP Server belonging to the Oracle Application Server 10g/9ias middle (BI & Forms) tier)
Do this manually by editing the httpd.conf
or
via the Oracle Application Server 10g AS Console e.g.
Navigate to the Middle Tier Components Page
Click on HTTP_Server -> Administration -> MIME Types
NOTE: MIME types added in httpd.conf are as per requirement mode in which report has to be run e.g. pdf, rt(rtf) and html etc. syntax for manual entry in httpd.conf is given below.
AddType application/x-orarrp-text     rrpt
AddType application/x-orarrp-ps     rrpp
AddType application/x-orarrp-pdf     rrpa
AddType application/x-orarrp-rt     rrpr
AddType application/x-orarrp-ini     rrpi
AddType application/x-orarrp-html     rrph
2. Create an aliasmatch in forms.conf pointing to a physical directory \tmp- for example, directory will be c:\tmp
Do this by manually editing the forms.conf
or
via the Oracle Application Server 10g AS Console e.g.
Navigate to the Middle Tier Components Page
Click on HTTP_Server -> Administration -> Advanced Server Properties -> forms.conf
Add a line like :
# Virtual path for physical directory of temp
AliasMatch ^/tmp/(..*) "C:\tmp/$1"
** IMPORTANT NOTE **
The advantages of making the changes via EM / AS console, rather than editing the files manually, are:
- the EM / AS console will put the mime type entries in the correct place
- the EM / AS console automatically issues a 'dcmctl updateconfig' which synchronizes the file changes with the Infrastructure Metadata Repository
- the EM / AS console will do the required restart of the HTTP Server component
(Only the HTTP Server needs to be stopped and restarted – Oracle AS 10g components can remain up and running)
If the changes are made manually then the following commands must be issued after the changes to httpd.conf and forms.conf have been made.
Run these command at run prompt
DRIVE:\oracle\FRHome_1\dcm\bin\dcmctl.bat updateconfig -ct ohs -v -d
(to synchronize the changes with the Metadata Repository)
DRIVE:\oracle\FRHome_1\dcm\bin\dcmctl.bat stop -ct ohs -v -d
DRIVE:\oracle\FRHome_1\dcm\bin\dcmctl.bat start -ct ohs -v -d
where DRIVE: is the drive where \oracle\frhome_1\ is installed.
3. Copy and run orarrp.exe on client machine in program files\orarrp\ folder.
4. Set value of options '”choose_printer=no” in orarrp.ini created at above folder.
5. Add following lines in your code of run_report procedure.
In declare section
vc_file varchar2(225);
In begin block add
/* Generate a pseudo unique filename */
vcfile:=:global.user_code||to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDDHHMISS');
vcfile:=vcfile||'.rrpr';
/* In this example - output will be rtf so adding .rrpr extension */
set_report_object_property(repid, report_filename,store_var);
set_report_object_property(repid, report_server, :global.r_server);
set_report_object_property(repid, report_execution_mode, batch);
set_report_object_property(repid, report_comm_mode, SYNCHRONOUS);
set_report_object_property(repid, report_destype, file);
set_report_object_property(repid, report_desformat,'rtf');
set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESNAME,'C:\tmp\'||vcFile);
---- path can be made dynamic by making a database entry in makess.path_entry for tmp folder and
---using proc_path procedure from path lib.
:GLOBAL.PrintOutPut := vcFile;
In Run report section make following change:
     vc_reportserverjob := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid,pi_id);
     report_job_id:=substr(vc_reportserverjob,length(:global.r_server+2,length(vc_reportserverjob));
     v_rep_status:=report_object_status(vc_reportserverjob);
     if v_rep_status='FINISHED' then
          web.show_document('/tmp/'||:global.printoutput,'_blank');
     else
          message ('error when running report'||v_rep_status);
end if;

NEED HELP !!
Regards,

The printer has to be known on the server where the Reports service runs.
Also, the user who runs the Reports service has to have access to that printer. If you are running on Windows, Reports Service runs as Local system by default. Change that to a real (domain) user, who has access to the printer.

Print report directly from URL

i have SSRS report where i have prompt to enter to get data. once the data is populated i would like to print directly from the print option rather saving to pdf and print. My page settings format is setup to 9X11 size. with this i can save and print fine.
But if i print directly to print on A-4 right most part is not printing and looks like i have to change settings in my report. How do we print this kind of report correctly on A-4 size paper. Any help much appreciated.

Hi SQL Instane,
Per my understanding that you want to print the report directly when click the print button and print on A-4, you have set the size to 9X11 and after print out, some of the part is not printing, right?
By default the size setting for print to A4 is 8.5X11 or 11X8.5, If you have changed to 9X11 and didn't set the body size of the report properly, it my cause the issue you are facing.
Details information below for your reference about how to do the size setting:
Change the report size setting to 8.5(Page Width)X11(Page height), you can also try to decrease the size of the "left margin" and "right margin" to increase the width.
Check the body size setting and maek sure they have the relationship as below:
Body Width + Left margin + Right margin <=Page width
Body height+ Top margin + Button margin <=Page height
If you have many columns and need to increase the width, you can also change the default setting "potrait" (8.5X11)to "Landscape"(11X8.5)
Article about the Pagination in Reporting Services for your reference:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd255278.aspx
If your problem still exists, please try to provide more details information.
Any problem, please feel free to ask.

How to control report direction at runtime

Hi All
I want to control report direction(Left_To_Right or Right_To_Left) at runtime.
to make every thing is clear I want to call the report from Form passing parameter ,according the parameter the direction should be directed

Yes, it work and I was know it, for this reason I emphasis that I created control at "DESIGN time", I want to change the direction of controls that created at design time not creating at runtime with var tf:TLFTextField = new TLFTextField();
To reproduce the problem create TLFText on your scene with text tool and name it "MyText" then
var tf:TLFTextField = MyText; // instead new TLFTextField();
..rest of your code
now you will see that nothing will be change! I struggled many hours but still no success.
Do you have any idea in this case?

How do I change report DSN at runtime?

Hello,
I have some reports (some 2011 but most 9) that were created with a DSN named Dev for example. When the reports are deployed to production, they are viewed via an ASP.NET application written in VB.NET (VS2012). The production server has a DSN named Prod for example. The code I'm using to change the connection information "seems" to be working because if I write out the connection info before the code, it shows the Dev DSN connection information and if I write out the connection inf after the code, it shows the Prod DSN connection information.
The problem is that even though the connection information appears to be changing at runtime, when the report renders it shows data from the Dev database instead of production.
Here is the code I'm using to change the main report connection and the subreports, which seems to be working:
 Dim strPassword As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ReportPassword")
 Dim strUserID As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("ReportUser")

 Catch ex As Exception

 Response.Redirect("ErrorEvents.aspx")
 Finally

 System.IO.File.Delete(fname)
 GC.Collect()
 End Try
I'm wondering if there is some additional code needed after .ApplyLogOnInfo or if there are some other parameters needed when exporting after the connection info has been changed or if there is something else I'm missing.
Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the troubleshooting ideas.
The version of the Crystal Runtime on the web server is: CRRuntime_32bit_13_0_6.msi
The database is on an SQL Server 2008 separate server
I started with adding this code just before the export code right after all the looping to change the connection info:
 Session("crpt").Refresh()
 Session("crpt").VerifyDatabase()
I tried running a report and an error was raised a few lines later at:
 Session("crpt").Export()
Here is the error message:
CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ParameterFieldCurrentValueException: Missing parameter values. ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException: Missing parameter values.
at CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.Controllers.ReportSourceClass.Export(ExportOptions pExportOptions, RequestContext pRequestContext)

at Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.NewLateBinding.LateCall(Object Instance, Type Type, String MemberName, Object[] Arguments, String[] ArgumentNames, Type[] TypeArguments, Boolean[] CopyBack, Boolean IgnoreReturn)
Next, I commented out those added lines (refresh and verify) and tried renaming the Dev DSN to Devxxx on the web application server.
I'm at a loss but somehow the report rendered still showing data from the Dev database. I checked the Prod DSN just to be sure it was pointed at the Prod database and it is. I rebooted the server and still got the same results. I opened the report directly in CR 2011 on the web server and tried to preview it. The ODBC dialog came up and the Devxxx DSN was there.
I changed some data in Dev ran the report through the web application in Prod and the data on the report showed the changed data in Dev.
The web application says the report connection info is for Dev and then it is changed for Prod and then even though the Dev DSN no longer exits the report still renders from Dev data???
I'm totally confused as to how this can be but maybe if we can solve the refresh and verify error the DSN mystery will become mute.

Creating reports directly in web-I

my clients are planning to use Web-I for all there reporting requirements using 4.0.
I would like to check if there other clients that allow there users to create there web-I reports directly in production?
I presume this is how this tool is meant to be used, otherwise the users will always have a dependency on IT to develop and transport.
Would be interesting to hear from others how they have empowered the users with web-I.
Many thanks.

Thanks Dennis.
We are also planning template reports which will be created directly in production. We will also have power users who will be able to create new reports and publish them to the public folder as part of template reports. But would it be possible to have end users edit the template reports with there changes but only be allowed to save them to their favorite folder and not to the public folders?
Many thanks

Changing Report Template Dinamicaly

Hello everybody, I am starting in APEX and I need to change "Report Template" attribute in a classic report programmaticaly. I need to generate a classic report for screen and in CSV format, but obviously I dont want to make 2 reports.
Thanks a lot
Ander

Of course.
I make a primary form with two buttons ("Print Preview" and "Excel Output", for example). In this form I make every filter selection (ranges, orders, etc).
My final report have a "CSV Template" assigned, I call it from "Print Preview" button using "Printer Friendly" parameter in YES, and without this parameter for the "Excel Output" button. You can improve this method creating another button (called"Direct Print" for example) for direct printing and using REQUEST parameter and a popup call for the report, you can include a javascript code in the report like this one:
if (":REQUEST" == "VALUE SENT FOR YOU AS A REQUEST")
window.print();
window.close();
I hope this will be useful.

Print BW report directly

Hi Experts,
we want to print a Report directly after clicking on print version. We don't want to first open the pdf file and then click another time on print. Is there any solution?
The best solution would be, that we print automatically the report on our local printer after confirming the filter variables.
Thanks for your help
Sebastian

There should be a javascript command, something like window.print, which you could put in the onLoad function of the page.
The problem here is that it doesn't print in the nice PDF version.
Cheers,
Andrew

Change report S_ALR_87012168 - 0SAPDUEAN-01

I am in FDI2 for changing report 0SAPDUEAN-01-Due Date Analysis for Open Items. I would like to add one more characteristic in the list available in the right hand side. Currently there are only 26 characteristics available for selection

Hi Suma,
In my last project I worked a lot on that to add new characteristic but I didn't get in clue. If you get any idea that would be great.
Best of luck
