Changes in Report builder 6i to 10g

Hi all,
I am currently struggling with one issue while migrating form from 6i to 10g.
In 6i we were calling custom logic from block level WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger and it was working fine, but when I migrated same form from 6i to 10g block level WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE is not getting fired at all.
When I implemented same custom logic on block level WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE it's working fine. I think the reason is "we cannot create WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger on block level in form 10g", but I could not confirm this observation with any of the metalink note. Please confirm if this observation is correct, if yes then could you please provide me some documentation to check.
Forms version: Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2

As we dont have WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger at block level you can make a seprate procedure and can call at WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE
WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE
WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE
block level

Call Report Builder from Jdeveloper 10g with parameters

hello , how are you
i am in oracle forms for long , today i am work in jdeveloper 10g, i want some questions
1- how call oracle report builder from oracle jdeveloper 10g with parameters
2- if there aren't call from jdeveloper 10g, what is good report tools?
thanks.

I'm assuming that what you want to do is actually run a report from a JDeveloper application.
To do this you can use the various ways that Reports offer to invoke reports with the report server - including URL & Web Service interfaces.
More information on these in the Oracle Reports - Publishing reports manual.

Migrate reports from 6i to 10g

Hello friends,
I want to migrate reports created in oracle 6i report builder
to
oracle 10g.
Please give me steps for that.
Arvind2

It happens on all machine. We use browser to launch the application and the report is called from forms (10.1.2). We didn't change any code in report and neither the fonts (Tahoma). In 6i, client server environment, windows can find the font. I guess in 10g web environment, the font is not as default. HP Laserjet 8000N is a network printer which I use to testing my report. everything is fine in 6i but not 10g. Here is my question.
1. How to check printer setup? Should I use the default font from Linux instead of Tahoma?
2. I found a note in metalink, Note:356221.1 which explains the procedures to deploy reports from windows to Linux. I am not sure my problem is related to the font or something else...
Thanks for you reponse.

Column name changed in reports

I have to do some changes on my existing report, its really a complex report with more number of columns and tables. now its really hard to fix the alias name changed by report builder automatically. any one could help me to fix this problem, means what i have alias name in query that i want to use in report.

Hi,
Could you pl clarify the Q? Do you mean that Reports Buider has automatically added an alias to a column name? This is not expected.
Or do you mean that you need to change the alias of the column without disturbing the report definition? You can alter the data model of the report using the feature "Customization at runtime using XML". For more information, refer to Chapter 16 in Publishing Reports Manual for 10g:

Format change when report open in report expert

Hi all,
I am using report builder 6i and I create invoice report I have attached it with oracle ebs 11i and run it from
concurrent manager. Now I have to open my invoice report into report expert software.
when it opens into report experts, It change our report builder fonts and format both.
suppose if item are 1 then invoice total depens upon number of items. so invoice total position is changed
according to the number of items. If 1 items total move up and if more than 1 item total moves down.
In this way my invoice format become changed and total did not maintain in same position.
Thanks

The Format is changed due to sizes of Repeating frames in the report layout as well as the fixed frames.
you can use the border color of the frames to design the report layout.
when your fixed frame is not in lined with the repeating frame objects and the anchor is not applied then the report output in PDF will not be disturbed
while in the Excel format it will be as per the no. of fixed frames/objects in the first line will come in first A1 column of the Excel file ans next in the second and so on...

Reports Builder does not react

Hello,
I've a strange problem. If I want to start my reports Builder (Oracle developer suite->Reports Developer->Reports Builder) I get the normal startup screen (GUI), I see the Oracle Reports Builder -> Oracle developer 10g suite screen but nothing seems to happen after that. So developer does not startup. If I look at my taskmanager I see the task RWBUILDER.exe but no cpu acivities. I'm using Oracle 10g, I've already reinstalled the developer suite again, but it makes no difference.
Any one has an idea what this can bee?
kind regards,
Richard van der Haag

Hello,
In order to know if the problem is related to the Reports Builder window location, you can use the free utility winlister :
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/winlister.html
Is there an "entry" for Reports Builder ?
If yes, what is the value for Location ?

ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - query - If statement in Alias ?

I have the following select statement. It has the alias Survivors, Deaths and "All
With the ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - I have the following query statement. I require the alias to change. Can the following be done.
Cases". Is it posible to use :P_LANGUAGE variable to say that -- IF :P_LANGUAGE = FRENCH THEN alias are Survivants for survivors, Décès for Deaths, Tous_les_cas for All Cases. Please advise
SELECT ALL T_NTR_MULTIBAR.CAT, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_LEFTBAR AS Survivors,
T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_MIDDLEBAR AS Deaths, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_RIGHTBAR AS "All Cases"
FROM T_NTR_MULTIBAR
WHERE INSTANCE_NUM = :P_INSTANCENUM
order by ORDERS

It is no problem, you can automatically change the complete query before the report is running, which delivers you different kind of values. But the alias names does not change in the group of the data-model, although two query are running with different alias names at different times. In the data model you see the alias names of the first implemented select statement, which are the column fields in the layout.

Dynamic Order By on Report Builder 10g

Hi,
How can I do a dynamic order by clause using user parameters on Report Builder 10g? I need to set dynamically the column and the direction on the clause.
Thanks.
Bruno Galletti

Hi Bruno / Rainer,
I am implementing the same solution, and after adding the lexical parameter reference in the SQL statement and calling the report from Oracle Forms the report failed with the following error on the report server:
Terminated with error: <br>REP-300: missing expression select wcsr_no , wcsr_date , wcsr_rec_week_zone , wcsr_loc_house_num || ' ' || wcsr_loc_pre_dir || ' ' || wcsr_loc_street_name || ' ' || wcsr_loc_street_type || ' ' || wcsr_loc_post_dir || ' ' || wcsr_loc_unit || ' ' || wcsr_loc_city || ' ' || wcsr ==>
No change has been done to the SQL statement except adding the &p_orderby parameter at the end of the query.
Any suggestions? Are all parameters defined as "bind" parameters on the Repotr Object Navigator.?
Thanks

Use css file in oracle 10g report builder

hi every one
i am using oracle 10g report buidler. i want control paramform by usign css file.
any body have idea how can i use css file in oracle report builder 10g and how can i modify it's path and i how can i manage any css class on a perticular field.

Thanks Billy.
Yes you are right.
Here why I discarded that option is,
I may get the source files with changing layouts.
My Actual scenario is as follows.
Initially we developped all the things using PL/SQL packages. Its working fine.
But as per the inputs we received from requirements group, the file structure changes dynamically. and we would able to consider those new columns also. We should be able to changes the rules dynamically.
Lets say, we doing fullouter join on Src_A and Src_B. on columns col1_A and col1_B.
Now the requirement changes in a way that, the join should be done on Src_A and Src_C. on columns col1_A and col_C.
For this I need to define a new package.
Instead of that, I would like to do everything dynamically based on configuration parameters given as input.
Thank you,
Regards,
Gowtham Sen

Using DDE package in report builder 10g

Hi,
I use this code in form 10g to edit a ms word and its work properly:
DECLARE
APPID PLS_INTEGER;
CONVID PLS_INTEGER;
DOCID PLS_INTEGER;
SYS_DATE CHAR(8);
BEGIN
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MM/DD/YY') INTO SYS_DATE FROM DUAL;
APPID := DDE.APP_BEGIN('C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE',
DDE.APP_MODE_MINIMIZED);
CONVID := DDE.INITIATE('WINWORD','SYSTEM');
DDE.EXECUTE(CONVID,'[FileOpen "c:\bin_test\exp.dotx"]', 10000);
DOCID := DDE.INITIATE('WINWORD','c:\bin_test\exp.dotx');
DDE.POKE(DOCID,'BOOKMARK1', SYS_DATE,DDE.CF_TEXT,10000);
DDE.EXECUTE(DOCID,'[FileSaveAs "c:\bin_test\output.doc"]', 10000);
DDE.TERMINATE(CONVID);
END;
when I put this code in the afterreport trigger in report builder 10g and call the report from form;
a blank document word is opened withoud any changes as well as the report result in pdf format.
what can i do to let this code work in report builder??
best regards,
Ahmad

I use this code in form 10g to edit a ms word and its work properlyI very much doubt that. Calling DDE from Forms this way would result in trying to open Word on the <b>server</b>.
the report result in pdf formatThe report result format is determined by how it is called. Looks like you call it with desformat=pdf.

By all means feel free to post your question as often as you like!
In webforms DDE runs on the middle tier; it might do what you want against your local OC4J now, but it surely won't open a thing when you run it against an application server.
Maybe you should enlighten us with your requirement, maybe there is a better solution for your problem.

How to change which client is used by 6i report builder?

I know, I know, 6i reports in this day and age??? Still, we have a large contingent of reports that will have to be changed to 10 ASAP. In the meantime, our db was upgraded, and most reports work fine, but I have an error where I cannot even compile one of them due to an apparent problem with using the 8i client connection to a 10g database using a dblink to another 10g database to get a value from a table. Report builder just hangs when I either open the report while already connected to the db, or when I open the report, then connect to db and try to compile the trigger with the offending statement.
My dba says, "Just tell Reports to use the 10g client that you have installed in the other oracle home on your desktop." My response,... "How do I do that?"
So, anybody know how to do that if it is possible?
Jon

Reports will use its own Oracle HOME for any connections and info .....
Open a report in Oracle reports 10g it should compile normally
In Oracle Installer u can set the Default Oracle HOME also as ur DBA suggested...

Report Builder 2.0 User Password Change Issue

A user changed her password (domain account) this morning and can no longer open the query designer (we are using an SSAS data source) or run a report in Report Builder 2.0. She can still access the SSRS front end report manager reports with no issue (and she enters her new password).
When clicking Run for a report in the Report Builder 2.0 the following error message displays:
The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized.
When trying to open the Query Builder for a dataset in the Report Builder 2.0 the following error message displays:
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host.
A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running.
The security log in the applicaiton event log on the report server logs the following with each failed attempt:
Unknown user name or bad password.
Three other users have recently reset their passwords and had no issue with Report Builder 2.0. I am thinking that her password may be cached or saved within Report Builder 2.0 and it keeps using her old password. I have had the user reboot and uninstall/reinstall Report Builder 2.0 but neither fixed the issue. It appears after uninstalling that all application data was not removed as recent reports show after reinstalling and I was not prompted for login credentials again. I had our domain admin reset her password back to what it was before she changed her password and all issues in Report Builder 2.0 went away and she could use the Query Builder and run the reports. I need to figure out how to let her change her password and have Report Builder 2.0 work though. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sorry, going to Options > Settings and clicking "Clear all recent item lists" didn't work for me. My login credentials are still cached, and I'm not prompted to log in, when I launch Report Builder.
I'm running Win7 Professional, IE10. I cleared my browser cache as my first attempt to clear the login, but that didn't work. I even cleared again, making sure to select to clear stored passwords/logins, but that didn't clear it, either.
Best regards,
Brad

Issue is TEXT_IO application API is not working in report builder 10g.

Issue is TEXT_IO application API is not working in report builder 10g.
TEXT_IO application api is working in report builder 6i. (Not working in upgrade from Oracle EBiz 11i to Oracle Ebiz R12)
I saw that details in some forums, client_text_io is available for form builder 10g.
Is any other api available for report builder 10g?
If it is available what steps we need to do?

All the CLIENT_% procedures are part of webutil in Forms. Forms uses the Java applet on the client PC to perform actions on the local PC via webutil. This is not possible for Reports.
You can still use text_io on the server, but you need some other way to copy the files to/from the client PC.
I wonder how you used the functionality in EBS R11. Even R11 uses web reports, so text_io already worked on the server, not the client PC.
