ColdFusion Report Builder and RDS connection

I'm trying to build report in CF report builder 8. Under the RDS server connection I have
Description: TEST
HostName: ColdFusionServerHost
Port: 8001
I don't have the RDS PWD.
When I hit Test connections it gives me the following message:
The RDS server was successfully contacted, but your security credentials were invalid...
If I hit OK and go to Query builder I don't see and DB. Is there a way around this....
Any help is appreciated...

Exactly the same problem here
Windows 7 IIS7 Local installation
None of the obvious steps works.

Report Builder and RDS

I just installed CF 8.1 Report Builder and attempted to use
it for the first time.
Is it required to have RDS activated on the server in order
to use report Builder?

Exactly the same problem here
Windows 7 IIS7 Local installation

Can Coldfusion Report Builder Lock .MDB Files?

I have been seeing an issue where an .mdb file will be locked into a read only mode state. There is no .ldb lock file on the object, but when I open the DB up a banner pops up at the top stating it is in read only mode. While it is in this mode it cannot be queried by CF pages and nothing on the site works.
If I rename the same file to soemthing else it works find. If I rename it back to its original name it says it is locked and will not respond. I have been trying to figure out what has a hold o f the .mdb file when this is happening.
Yesterday afternoon I was working in the coldfusion report builder and was connected to the datasource .mdb through the rds server. I am now wondering if it is report builder that is locking the DB.
Has this happened to anyone else? Has anyone ever seen issues like this?

I have never found a solution. It is a problem specific to report builder and PDFs. If you output to flashpaper it will work fine. If you output in coldfusion directly to pdf, it is fine as well with Cyrillic. I have just given up and used flashpaper for a little while longer though would prefer going to pdf for longevity and ease for the users of saving the documents.
May not hurt to post a bug report specifically for this one. I didn't know this tool existed. It does seem like a bug because the fonts that I have tried to use have Cyrillic available, it just can't deal with them.

Receiving Error Message in Coldfusion Report Builder

I have installed Coldfusion Report Builder. I connect to my
RDS server and attempt to run the Query Builder and get the
following error:
Object: TDataPanel, gbFields
Exception:'2) when evaluating instruction Ret($0' is not a
valid integer value
See error log for stack trace
Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone have any idea what
the problem is?
Thanks

Whatever version came with MX7. When I run it and go to help
and about, it just shows the version info for cold fusion server.
Not the report builder. I know it is the latest version however as
I also downloaded and installed the latest version from
online.

Coldfusion report builder download has no help included

I just downloaded both the CF Report builder versions for 8 and 9 and there is no English language help file included.
Does anyone know where or how I can download this?
Clicking on help just gives you a warning saying 'MS Html Help is not installed on this PC.'

Hmm, that is strange.
If there is no shortcut to the help file in the Windows menu, use the Windows Explorer to navigate to the folder where CFRB is installed, (default is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\ColdFusion Report Builder") and double click on the "CFReportBuilder.chm" file.
If it loads successfully, then create a shortcut to it in a location that is convenient for you.

Have a look at the reports help for the purpose header and trailer sections. Here is an exert:
"Report sectioning enables you to define multiple layouts in the same report, each with a different target audience, output format, page layout, page size, or orientation. You can define up to three report sections, each with a body area and a margin area: the names of the sections are Header, Main, and Trailer. By default, a report is defined in the Main section. In the other sections, you can define different layouts, rather than creating multiple separate reports. If you wish, you can use the margin and body of the Header and Trailer sections to create a Header and Trailer page for your reports."

How Do I Print my reports Horizontally using Coldfusion Report Builder

Hi-
I want to print my reports Horizontally rather vertically using Coldfusion Report Builder. I am using a very simple query
SELECT
      Zones.Zone_id,
      Zones.Zone_name,
     Count(employees.cnic) as Employees
FROM Zones, Employees
WHERE Zones.zone_id=Employees.zone_id
GROUP BY Zones.zone_name
Or say Daily/Monthly Zone Sale with Zones in Rows and Dates/Months in Columns
Thanks

Have a look at my response to your post in the Report Builder sub-forum.

Report builder doesn't connect

Hi All,
I ran into a problem where I can not connect the report builder and forms runtime to database.
I am using oracle 10g 10.1.0.2.0 and forms and reports 6.0. and I am trying to connect through NT 4.0.
I am able to connect to database through forms builder and able to run the forms froms and calling reports from within the forms. But whenever I try to connect through forms runtime or report builder I received ORA-12203 error.
Actually I just shifted the database from on machine to another high specs one, and since then I got this trouble...earlier it was ok...
I tried to recreate the tnsnames.ora file through net manager ver. 9.0 but it still the same.
Any help on this please. Best Regards.

Please check for another existence of the tnsnames.ora file.
As you are using Forms 10 and Reports 6 you may different Oracle Homes and each will have a separate tnsnames file unless you defined a central one.

Advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer

Hi,
anyone can explain advantage and disadvantage of xml publisher, report builder and discoverer?
thanks in advance!

The best way i found was to put a equals and then double quotes... this only works for excel however it will allow you to cut and paste (ie to use the value to search in Oracle) and also to do vlookups.
In a bit more detail:
- I used word to generate my default table
- this created a field INVOICE_NUM
- in the cell in the table i put = " before the INVOICE_NUM field and then put the closing " afterwards.
The theory is that excel will concatenate the values together... because it has quotes around it, it will treat it as a string rather than simply a value.
For any other formats this will not work.
I'm guessing most people have moved on and resolved this some other way, but just thought I'd share the wealth!

Why is printing report different from report builder and app server

I created a report and when ran from report builder it looks fine.
And when i moved the report to server and ran the report in the browser using this url
http://192.1.1.8:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=esp/esp_dev1@wdev&report=FMMA_VOUCHER.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
and print it the report shrinks, the fonts become small and the margins change. I am having hard time how to figure out a way to correlate the formatting in the report builder and when i run on the server using pdf format.
Is there any way to set the server so that the pdf output matches with the report builder.
Thanks.

CF Report Builder and Excel format

Hi Everyone,
I was trying to display a report in excel format in report builder. It shows the data, but I do not find the print button options, whereas I can see it with other formats. Is this the way it is, or do I need to format anything more within my report for showing up the print button option?This is only happening for excel format
Thanks

Hi Keiko,
Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
reports.
Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
Report Builder and you can judge then.
I am sure you will have fun with CF.
Thanks

Views on CF Report Builder and Crystal Report

Dear all,
I would like to get your opinions on CF Report Builder and
Crystal Report.
As we all know, CF Report Builder is a new reporting tool.
But I find it very difficult to design a complex report maybe due
to limitation in its functionalities. Sometimes the tool shutdowns
by itself without any warning and reason. But the output is nicely
presented on a flash paper / pdf and it can be run on non-MS
platforms.
On the other hand, Crystal Report is a more matured product
but runs only on MS platform. It is very easy to use and very
powerful. I have been using it for almost 10 years. But the output
is not nicely presented on the web browser unless if we purchase
Crystal Report Enterprise to generate the report which is very
costly.
Can you all share your views? I need to make decision which
tool(s) to use. Really appreciate it.
Cheers,
Keiko

CF Builder and not connect to the loacl CF server

I am running CF 9 on my laptop as well as CF Builder, and at home it works fine. But at work, where i hook to the internet with a proxy Builder and not connect to my CF server. What gives?? Please help
Thanks

Hello Francesc,
check the connection details in global.srvc. If you are using a message server, the corresponding port
sapms<SysID>
has to be maintained in ...\drivers\etc\services, too.
If that does not help: What do the trace files say?
Regards,

Search icons from forms/reports builder and runtimes

Hello together,
who can help me?
I search the icons from the programs forms- and reports-builder and theirs runtimes (the little pictures in front off the filename).
I need these to import in another program. They should have 16x16 pixel.
Where can I find these icons?
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,
Sandra

Not a final answer to your questions as I don't know the directory structure for forms & reports builders, but you can search for *.ico files in the same (unless forms & Reports use different extensions for icon files).
