Data migration from Forms to Reports

Hello,
Does anyone know how to migrate numerous data from Oracle forms to reports, without using parameter lists or parameters, and also withour the use of temporary tables since my platform is 8.0.6 and forms 4.5?
Thanks for any replies

hi daniel,
you could write your data from forms into a text file. seperate
the values using for example a comma (or something else).
use the text datasource in reports 9i to query directly from
this file.
find more information here:

Passing date parameter from forms to report

Hi,
I'm using forms and reports 6i.
I want to pass one date parameter from forms to reports.
Using
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);
giving me error REP-0091- Invalid value for parameter 'P_FROM_DATE'
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar.
Please help

Hi Divya,
Even I use this kind of statement
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);and works fine for me.
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar
Correct.
Open the report in the builder and under Data Model -> User Parameters, Go to the Property Inspector of P_FROM_DATE. Under Parameter, set Datatype as Character instead of Date.
Hope this should work. and tell me if it works(coz it wokred for me).

Date format in forms and reports in windows 7

i have problem with date format in developer 10g and developer 6i
it show date in this format 2011/25/1
it sould be like this 25/1/2011
how i can reslove this
in xp it work fine

Are you generating Forms and Reports from Oracle Designer, or using Oracle Developer tools directly?
If this is a Forms question, try the Forms forum - Forms
If this is a Reports question, try the Reports forum - Reports
Either way, or with Designer, the problem is probably that you are allowing the date format to default instead of explicitly specifying a date format. Always specify the date format - you want "DD/MM/YYYY".

How to change the Forms and Reports's NLS_LANG character set on OAS

Hi,
I'm having problems with the OAS10g's actual character set, when displaying a report made with Reports Builder 10g who has the letter "ñ" it displays "ñ " with a blank space at the final so i need to change this character set for one that suits this requirement.
which file or files should i change ??
could this change affect something else, for example another product in my OAS ??
Regards
Carlos

I have this Forms and Reports Application in Brazilian Potuguese. What I do at new installations is:
1. Open this file: <MiddlewareOracleHome>/forms/server/default.env and add the NLS parameters below the FORMS_PATH definition:
FORMS_PATH=D:\Oracle\home207middle\forms;D:\MYENV\Exe;D:\MYENV\Imagens
NLS_LANG=BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=,.2. Open this file: <MiddlewareOracleHome>/reports/conf/<your_report_server_name>.conf and create an "environment" section with the NLS variables:
   <environment id="MYENV">
      <envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="D:\MYENV\Exe;D:\MYENV\Imagens"/>
      <envVariable name="NLS_LANG" value="BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8MSWIN1252"/>
      <envVariable name="NLS_DATE_FORMAT" value="DD/MM/YYYY"/>
      <envVariable name="NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS" value=",."/>
   </environment>For this one to work, the application must set RP2RROREPORTSENV=MYENV before launching the report.

Universe export - data changes not reflecting in Report

Hi
The changes and the latest updates in the database are not reflecting in reports,
even if i export the universe again.
and i have refreshed the reports, that even not reflecting.
i did Edit query and Run query this action also not bringing the latest data to reports
why this happens ?
how to solve this issue ?
Regards
Dineshkumar

You can search for KB articles on SAP Service Market Place .
Here is first :
Symptom
You make changes a local Universe in Designer.
When refreshing the report, in Desktop Intelligence, the results do not reflect Universe update.
It used to be enough to simply refresh report's data, for Dataprovider to show object changes from the Semantic layer.
Change of behaviour in SP3 codeline: the DeskI Query Panel does not automatically pick up the latest modifications made to the local Universe.
Reproducing the Issue
Using BusinessObjects Desktop Intelligence XIR2 SP3:
Using your universe (eFashion), create and refresh a simple Desktop Intelligence report (.rep).
Make a simple change to the universe (like renaming a field/ object name) and save these changes.
Go back to the open DeskI report and try to refresh the data provider using: 'Data/Refresh Data'.
This will not show the latest changes.
However, if you follow the same workflow using XIR2 SP2, the universe update will be immediately visible (in the report) simply after refresh.
Cause
This is not a product regression, but intentional change in application's code delivered with FixPack3.1.
Fix Request ADAPT00818520 changed the application's behaviour: << When a restricted user is logged on to view a Desktop Intelligence document, prompt windows may be slow to open. >>
Resolution
In Desktop Intelligence menu, go to: Tools > Universes
Click 'Refresh'
Select and 'Import' your universe
Next, go to toolbar menu: Data > Edit Data Provider
In Query Panel, click 'Run' to regenerate the Query and interrogate the updated universe.
Only after following these actions will the .unv ammendments be visible in the report.
Here is second :
Symptom
Changes to object made for the Universe is not affected when refreshed from InfoView if we check 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' in Universe Designer
Desktop Intelligence (Deski) Report still prompts for selection of contexts even if 'Allow selection of contexts' is unchecked for Universe
Row level Restriction is not applied correctly in InfoView(View Mode) when 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' checked in the Universe Designer
Environment
BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Service Pack 2 Fix Pack 2.6
Reproducing the Issue
Changes to object made in the Universe is not affected in InfoView(View mode) when 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' is checked in Universe
1. Log in to Designer
i) Import Island Resort Marketing
ii) Go to Universe Parameter >> SQL
ii)Uncheck Allow Selection of Multiple Context
2. Create a new Desktop Intelligence(Deski) Report based on Island Resort Marketing
i) Drag the object Country in the Result's Pane
ii) Save and Export the report to the repository.
3. In Designer Change the Object Country under Resort from Resort_Country.country to
i) Resort_Country.country+'ddd'
Note: Uncheck Allow Selection of Multiple Context
ii) Save and Export the Universe
4. Log in to InfoView
i) View the report
ii) Refresh the report
iii) Changes to the object taken place i.e Country is concatenated with ddd
5. In the Universe Designer, change the Object Country under Resort from Resort_Country.country to
i) Resort_Country.country+'eee'
Note: Check Allow Selection of Multiple Context
ii) Save and Export the Universe
6. Log out from InfoView and login again
i) View the report
ii) Refresh the report
iii) Changes not taken place. Shows only Country instead of Country concatenated with eee.
Row level Restriction is not applied correctly in InfoView(view Mode) when 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' checked for the Universe.
Import efashion Universe
Drag the Outlet_Lookup table into the objects pane on the left hand side
Create Row Level Restriction on the state field of Outlet_Lookup table as Outlet_Lookup.State=(u2018Texasu2019)
Apply the restriction to Administrator
Save and Export the Universe. Note: Uncheck Allow Selection of Multiple Context in Universe Parameter>>SQL
Log in to Desktop Intelligence (Deski) as administrator with Enterprise Authentication
Create a new Deski report
Drag the object state from the Outlet_Lookup table to the Results pane
Observed that the administrator is able to see only Texas which is expected behavior
Save and export the report
Log in to Infoview as Administrator
View the report. Refresh the report
Observed that the administrator is able to see only Texas which is expected behavior
Log in to Infoview as any user say Test User
View the report. Refresh the report
Observed that Test User is able to see all the states which is expected behavior
In the Universe Designer, Check Allow Selection of Multiple Context in Universe Parameter>>SQL for efashion Universe
Save and export the Universe
Log in to Infoview as Test user
View the report
Refresh the Report
TestUser is able to see only Texas which mean that the restriction is applied to Test User also
Cause
This is by Design as the 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' forces selection of the context, which is not possible in Infoview, so that in Infoview it is assumed the Context is already selected and no SQL regeneration is required.
Resolution
Problem Description: Changes to object made in the Universe is not affected when refreshed from InfoView if we check 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' in Universe Designer
Explanation:
If we modify an object and selects also the option 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts', it means that potentially there is more than one SQL that can be generated with the use of that object. Hence if a report is created in Deski, run and exported to enterprise, that means, one particular context (SQL) has been selected.
If you then update one or more of the objects again, the SQL will have to be regenerated in Deski for the right context to be selected for that particular report.
Therefore, if this option is used, for the objects to be updated, the SQL of the report will have to be regenerated in Deski, run and export it back to repository, then refresh the report in InfoView.
For Deski reports viewed in InfoView, it is not possible to evaluate the context on refresh. The report will always use the context stored with the report and same for the SQL. Therefore the Deski report will need to be imported locally, refresh it and then export it back to repository for the changes to take place.
Problem description: Desktop Intelligence (Deski) still prompts for selection of contexts even if 'Allow selection of contexts' is unchecked for Universe
Explanation:
The option 'Allow selection of Multiple Contexts' in Designer is not to disable the prompt. It will prompt you to select context if the object used is associated with context. The option is just to allow Deski to select multiple contexts at a time if in case the object used is associated with multiple contexts and accordingly generates the SQL.
However if we uncheck the option even if there are multiple contexts associated with the object used, it will allow selection of only one context at a time.
Problem Description: Issue with Row level Restriction when refreshed from InfoView with 'Allow selection of multiple Contexts' checked for the Universe.
Explanation:
We first have to regenerate the SQL in Deski, then export it to repository and refresh from InfoView for the changes to take place correctly. The explanation above applies.

Compare 2 date columns in an OBIEE report

Hi,
in an OBIEE report, I have columns of 'ship date' and 'begin date'.
My question is: how do I select those records (rows) that have the 'ship date' after 'begin date' ?
If so, please advice what are the function should I use to compare/filter these records.
Thank you

That means you want to see only those records where Ship date is greater than Begin Date ?
Add filter on Ship Date
Select Operator = Is Greater Than
Click on Add more Options > SQL expression
Copy the column formula of Begin Date in SQL Expression. Ex : "Period Dimension"."Begin Date"
Hope this helps

To Do List Automatically Scrolls to the Top when I make any date change

I'm using Palm 6.2.2 at the moment, and I'm finding that Whenever I change the date on any of my To Do List tasks in the desktop software the list automatically jumps/scrolls to the top of the list and it is driving me INSANE. I have a LOT of dated tasks and on a daily basis have to push them forward to other dates. Doing this now takes me forever as I have to rescroll down to the area of tasks I was working on, change the date on the next one then start all over again.
For what it's worth, I just upgraded from a Treo 700p w/Palm 4.something - that version of the Desktop Software did NOT do this.
Anyone else encounter this and know how to fix/avoid it?
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

I can confirm this function. Also I wasn't able to find anyway for it to not do this.
Post relates to: None

What event tells me when any data changes in a mx:datagrid?

I have a mx:datagrid that I need to have an event tell me when anything at all changes in the datagrid. The datagrid can be empty and as such may not have a dataprovider (=null) some of the time. I have looked at a variety of events but none seem to do what i want - can anyone suggest what event i should be listening for please?
many thanks,
Mark.

We have not formalized the concept of nested collections in Flex. However,
let me amend my recommendation a bit.
Typically in a nested collection, the objects in the top-level collection
are not just collections but an object with some other reference data and
then a collection like:
    public class FamilyTreeItem
        public var name:String;
        public var children:ArrayCollection;
The top-level collection is listening for propertyChange events. Typically,
as a data item gets modified, a propertyChange event is dispatched. If the
data items do not dispatch propertyChange events, then the itemUpdated()
method is used. Either way, the result is a COLLECTION_CHANGE event from
the top-level collection.
When you have a nested ArrayCollection, while that sub-ArrayCollection is
dispatching COLLECTION_CHANGE, nobody is listening for it at the top-level.
You can dispatch it yourself, or you can call itemUpdated() on the top-level
or dispatch a propertyChange.
The latter will be the most work, but most general. Code in FamilyTreeItem
would attach a listener to the collection for COLLECTION_CHANGE and then
dispatch a propertyChange as appropriate.

Information Broadcasting - Event data changes

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to trigger a broadcast settings, What i am trying to acheive is as soon as any data changes in data target, trigger a report to portal folder.
Report is published to portal only when there is no data in data target, i.e. contents of data target are empty and any data that is loaded as first request.
Any data loads after first request, Am i missing some configuration steps.
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
Usually we trigger an event in SM64 tcode..if u want to create an event u will go for SM62.
In addition to time- and calendar-based job scheduling, the background processing system supports event-driven scheduling.
Triggering an event notifies the background processing system that a particular condition has been met. The background processing system reacts by starting any jobs that were waiting for that event.
Events are not saved. Once an event occurs and triggers any jobs that were waiting for that event, the event is discarded
U can monitor process chain via Tcode 'CCMS'..

Forms and Reports 6i connections fail after db upgraded 10gr2

After database upgraded to 10gr2 on 64bit Windows 2008 server, connections from forms and reports 6i hang while sqlplus connections work. After database is restarted, connections to forms and reports work again but only for a few days?
Also if authenication is changed from NTS to NONE, we do not experience any connection problems from forms or reports.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi!
Is there maybe a database package that gets invalid form some reason?
And if forms/reports tries to connect, the package should get compiled cause of a call
to it and this ends in a endless lock?

Hi,
You can find many articles on oracle site for this subject.
However in brief following are the steps
1) Create a directory source,executables,images,reports and logfiles.
2) Copy all your forms, menus and pll's in source directory
3) All your images in your image directory
4) All your reports in reports directory
5) All yuor fmx,mmx and plx in executables directory
6) Any log files in logfiles directory
7) Add path of images and executables directory in FORMS_PATH in default.env
8) Configure your formsweb.cfg as your need.
9) Configure report.conf and rwservlet.properties according to your applications.
10) Make jar of icons say myicons.jar.
11) copy myicons.jar in forms/java directory
12) Check yuor form services if they are running or not.
13) Invoke the URL in internet explorer
http://<ip_address>:<port_no>/forms/frmservlet?form=testform.fmx
I think that's enough from my side.. For more info you can go through the documentation.

How to reflect data changes back to the external XML

Hi,
In one of my application,
I use data for (any of) my Flex component from an external XML (thru a HTTPService) request & a Java backend function provides the XML data.
I bind the HTTPService result to XMLListCollection & I supply this data for the dataprovider for my component.
So, if I make any data changes (by adding / creating new items ) in the component, it will be reflected in the XMLListCollection (resulting in adding / modifying new nodes)
My Question is how to make these data changes reflect back in the external XML?
- Sen

Well not necessarily. While binding directly to the service in view is fast is
also not very clean and reusable. Try to put your data inside model classes,
view binds to those classes instead of the service. Also use a custom class to
wrap your service and that gives you flexibility to change server properties or
make 2 different calls with the same service. You need to write code yourself
but in the end it will be easier to adjust changes. So when you load data you
actually populate the model instead of bringing data straight to the view. This
code usually gets executed inside a command class. So to be more specific:
CustomService
- var HTTPService
function getData
-- in here you have the service calling the get data method on the service
function setData
-- in here you have the service calling the save data on the server
View
var model:DataModel
- controls binds to the model and display data from model
- when click on save or whatever gesture you use for saving you dispatch an
event with the new data.
You should use some MVC framework to do this for you..
When event is dispatched the framework will create a command class instance and
run it ...
GetSaveCommand
- var service:CustomService
service.saveData(event.Data)
service.getData()
function result()
function fault() - for the success or fault of the service call ...
you can perform additional data transformation here id needed or employ the use
of other class to do that if necessary ...
Hope this makes sense. It is more work involved as you can see.
Or you can go with 2 HTTPService instance in the view ...
