Configure ePortfolio for Crystal Reports 9 Report Application Server for Users to Run Reports

Post Author: lacc
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Sorry for this basic question but Crystal 9 is no longer supported and I am having trouble finding any documentation about how to configure ePortfolio let alone obtain any help from Crystal support.
I have a set of .RPT files and would like the simplest and quickest method of distribution to the users with as little coding and fuss as possible.
We have the ePortfolio page up and running but the users can only view the reports from ePortfolio. They also need to be able to run (refresh) the reports and enter the parameters which have already been built into the .RPT file. Providing access to the deactivated Schedule and History links would also be useful though not a priority unlike access to refresh and enter parameters.
I usually create reports to run from within an application which I can handover to the application developer so working out how to distribute via this method is pretty new to me.
I've also had a quick look at the Crystal Reports Viewer XI which appears to be backward compatible for Crystal 9 reports however this also appears to only allow users to view, not generate, reports.
Any recommendations? Or could you point me in the direction of some documentation that might assist?

I think I've worked out that we are actually using ePortfolio Lite. Would anyone be able to confirm if there are any configuration options for ePortfolio Lite? I think we only have the Crystal Reports 9 Advanced version, not Crystal Reports 9 Enterprise. Would this mean that we therefore only have ePortfolio Lite not ePortfolio?

How to to display the JSP report in Application Server ? URL for displaying

Hi Experts,
Last week, we tried to change the memory of Response Cache and buffer Cache to increase the speed of the Excel report. But it didn’t work out.
And from the below link, I understood we can convert the oracle 9i report to excel by converting the Oracle 9i report to JSP report.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
I’ve converted the Oracle 9i report to JSP report and finding the way to display the JSP report using Application Server. I am trying to find out the REPORT URL of simple JSP report and using Reports Servlet . Right now I am trying to display the JSP report in Application Server.
Please suggest the URL for displaying the JSP report
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
You can directly call you .jsp file, http://<host>:<domain>:<port>/<jsp report path>?userid=<if your report requires userid>/<pwd>
Refer to metalink documents:
Frequently Asked Questions About JSP Reports [ID 301714.1]
Here --> Question 4. How do I execute a JSP report?
Also refer, How to deploy JSP reports [ID 220943.1]
Hope this helps.

How to run the report via application server

Report not running?
hi All,
I am calling the report via forms, In application server i had recompiled the reports in two different format too.
1. myreports.rep
2. myreports.jsp
I have called the report from the menu and i used code like below
Declare
      V_id Varchar2(100);
Begin
    V_id := Run_Report_Object('myreports');
End;but i am getting following error.
Frm-41219:Cannot find report:Invalid ID.and subsequently an another too.
Frm-40738:Argument 1 to builtin RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be null.please guide me
kanish

I using Forms 10g R2, i store the recompile version in Application server.
Good, so you can refer to the metalink note I mentioned above, as per storing the reports in the application server, the default place for running reports is not a folder in the FORMS_PATH, the REPORTS_PATH is set in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh file, pointing by default to the sample folder - $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo, for testing purposes you can put your report there and try it again, or you can modify the REPORTS_PATH variable in the reports.sh file to point to the directory you were mentioning.
Note: I am calling the report throug menu using the eariler posting code.
I would recommend to create a Form to call the Report, I am not sure if there are restrictions about invoking a report directly from the menu.
About the code, you are missing a lot there, refer to metalink note mentioned above, here is an excerpt from that document.
PROCEDURE TEST_REPORT IS
repid      REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep      VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object('report5');
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,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'repserver90');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no pdeptno='||:dept.deptno);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
    LOOP
      rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
    END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
    /*Display report in the browser*/
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://<YourServerName:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
   substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver90','_blank');
ELSE
    message('Error when running report');
END IF;
END;
In my eariler version 6i (2 tier) when i call the report it invoke parameter form. will 10g also behave same like 6i?
Yes, there is still a parameter Form which runs in an HTML page.
*1. Should i want to create any Report_Path, Report_classpath ? if yes ,where should i ?* It will depend on your configuration, the easiest way is to setup the REPORTS_PATH in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh file, if you are configuring the reports server to use environment ids, that would not work and you would need to setup the REPORTS_PATH directly in the reports engine configuration file .. $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/rwserver.template.

Deploying forms and reports on Application Server 10

I'm a beginer
I have build some forms,reports by using Oracle Developer Suite (Form developer and Report developer) with Oracle database9i , I had run it in that tools, Now I want to deploy them on Application Server. How can I get it ? any body tell me step by step (because I'm a beginer) to configure ? I had installed Oracle Application Server (without install infrastructure) , can I deploy on it ? My computer support to install Application Server with Infrastructure (because Memory only 512M) . please give advice and tell me what I do ???

There is a jinit feature in my 10g Enterprise edition that installed with my database. However, I haven't been able to map to it successfully from the jinitiator that down loaded when I first ran the form. I tried deleting it and when I tried to run the form again I got the install window. The only way it would run was to install. The initial installation maps correctly, opens the web page and displays the form, and I am able to make query. I can not however run any other forms without the fatal Internet Explorer error.
I also tried to map the correct port thru the forms preference feature under edit on the forms screen, that didn't work. I am perplexed howerever that the recommendation for the DevSuite download at Oracle said that jre/sdk 1.5 is required but jinit 1.3.1 is what they programmed to download. a couple of Oracle OTN papers I have reviewed have indicated a number of bugs for oc4j and jinit. There are fixes indicated for some of them but no definitive mention of where to find the files. Some of the files mentioned are not in DevSuite but are found in 10G databse, Enterprise.
I am a database tech major and need DevSuite10 for my class, especially forms and reports. This is also my first time at this forum. I have sent error reports to Microsoft concerning IE6 errors without reply. So, I am assuming that this is an Oracle error not Windows XP Professional. I have had 10g Enterprise Manager installed since November of last year and have not had mapping problems with it when using OEM browser services. I don't know why jinit can map and run on install and totally not on every attempt to re-run. HELP!!!

Performance questions in Oracle Forms/Reports of Application Server 10g

Hello.
I have a dual Xeon 2.6 computer with 3 GB of memory and 6 GB of cache, running RedHat EL 3 with Oracle AS 10g (9.0.4.0.0).
Application Server is used to run some applications created with forms, and it generates several reports, but the forms are also used as a front end to another Oracle Database (Oracle 7.0, runing in Sun Solaris 5.6).
I've notested (and also my users) the application is getting very slow (is running in a dual Xeon, with 2 Gbit nics, in a 3 Gb backbone).
The speed (or lack of it) is most noted when the forms are generating the reports (it used to be fast - 2 seconds) and now it can take up to 5 minutes.
The AS 10g, when generating the reports, almost all of the querys go to the other server (in Solaris) and the results return to the server, and then the report is generated. The network has no problems (at least, that i know of), and the network performance is not an issue - both the servers are connected to a Gbit switch.
Can someone may have an ideia of it can be?
even in the clients, when running the forms application, the transition of the several menus is slow, and it used to be more fast.
the 10g is using Java Jinitiator 1.3.18. Can it be from that ? i'm not certain, but i could say this things start happen when we upgraded the jinitiator from 1.3.13 to 1.3.18...
My users are really getting on my nervers and i cant do nothing, because they have reason...
any help would be appreciated !
Cheers
Bruno Santos

Bruno, did you solve the performance problem? I'm experiencing the same lack of speed.

Not able to change password in SAP WEB application server for BI 7 EHP 1.

Hi all,
I'm currently upgrading from BW 3.5 to BI 7 EHP 1.
When logging to SAP WEB application server to execute a WEB report, it's not possible to change password. Even when a initial password has been set, the user are not forced or able to change it.
Also to logon dialogue is more like a Windows pop-up than the Web based in 3.5.
Anyone having a clue?
Best regards
Kent

Hi Eriki,
My problem is related to the WEB application server (WAS), not the Netweaver Portal.

Adding JBoss Application Server for Monitoring

How do you add a JBoss Application Server for monitoring? Is there a way to add it silently like silent install of the host target?

It is a manual process, you need to launch Jboss discover UI using Targets > Middlware page.
Also, please use JVMD for more detailed analysis.
You need to specify JARs based on the version of the JBoss -
Note - Please check the support site for exact certified versions of JBoss.
JBoss 4:
dom4j.jar jboss-management.jar jnp-client.jar
jbossall-client.jar jboss-client.jar
JBoss 5:
concurrent.jar jboss-javaee.jar jboss-serialization.jar
dom4j.jar jboss-jsr77-client.jar jbosssx-as-client.jar
jbossall-client.jar jboss-logging-spi.jar jbosssx-client.jar
jboss-client.jar jboss-management.jar jnp-client.jar
jboss-common-core.jar jboss-remoting.jar jboss-integration.jar jboss-security-spi.jar
JBoss 6:
concurrent.jar jboss-management.jar
dom4j.jar jboss-remoting.jar
jbossall-client.jar jboss-security-spi.jar
jboss-client.jar jboss-serialization.jar
jboss-common-core.jar jbosssx-as-client.jar
jboss-ejb-api_3.1_spec.jar jbosssx-client.jar
jboss-integration.jar jboss-transaction-api_1.1_spec.jar
jboss-jsr77-client.jar jnp-client.jar
jboss-logging.jar
If you plan to use JVMD then you should select Remote Agent for discovery/monitoring.
JNDI service should be configured and Naming Service port should be open.
Agent should be able to communicate with the host and JNDI port.
Above list of JARs to be copied on the agent machine (location provided as library path during discovery)
Could you please share customer details and usecases.

T-code for delete file from application server

Hi all!
Please, has any t-code for delete file from application server? For upload exist CG3Z, for download has CG3Y. And for delete? Has anyone?
I need to delete file from application server in QA system and i don't want to create a program for this because i will need to transport a request from DEV to QA.

I don't have contact with basis team.
The FM EPS_DELETE_FILE support directory name with max 60 char. My dir. has more than that. I need a transaction for this.
Anybody know if this transaction exist?

Where is the Oracle Application Server for Apex 3.2.1?

Hi, I feel ashamed asking this, but I want to know where to download the Application Server for Apex 3.2.1. Apex is installed in a DataBase 10gR1 and the O.S. where I will install the Application Server is RedHat
I think it is here
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/ias/downloads/index.html
But there is a lot of links and things to download and I don't even know if it will work because it is Release 3 and the DataBase is Release 1, but I tried downloading the "Oracle 10gR3 Companion (10.1.3.x) CD", but after running the installer in the disk1, I found that the Oracle HTTP Server that it would install does not include mod_plsql and I know I need it.
So, which one should I download, or where can I find it?
Thanks.

Strictly speaking you do not need Application Server or OHS for running Apex, you have an option in ApexListener. If it is a small installation then stick to EPG that comes built-in.
Try downloading the Oracle HTTP Server from here . You will need to check the commercial aspects yourself as OHS is not a free software for Production environment, AFAIK.

Sun Java System Application Server for Mac OS X ?

hi everybody.
does anybody know if (any given date ?) sun is planning to offer a distribution of its sun java system application server for mac os x ? or even better: any ideas on how to install a currently available version on mac os x 10.4 ? the linux bin seems not to be readable.
thank you very much in advance, folks.
and have a nice day
andre from berlin, germany

As you noticed, standalone MacOS distribution of application server is currently not available, but what you can do is to download NetBeans with J2EE bundle or Creator (for free) and install bundled Application Server on this platform. Download URLs are:
http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/download.php?type=4.1
(NetBeans/J2EE cobundle)
http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/devtools/free/
(Creator)
Also, you can install and run Glassfish (which is open-source version of upcoming Application Server 9.0) on MacOS X:

If you are using OLite, you should use the OLite .NET provider:

Business Objects Query Builder - application server for data connections

Hi experts,
I am trying to flush out all instances where we have universes with connections pointed to the wrong application server. I was hoping to use query builder to show me the application server being used for all connections (metadata.dataconnection)
Is this possible?
Edited by: Khaled McGonnell on Nov 3, 2010 6:11 PM

Hi Srinivas,
I had tried SELECT * already : )
The application server is the server on which the BI system you are connecting to is located. You have to define this when you create the connection in Universe Designer.
You can see the application server for "connections if you use the following query:
select si_server from ci_systemobjects where si_kind = 'Connection'
However, these are not the connections used by universes. These connections are from logged in users. Any ideas?

i solved the same problem while download the application server
via ftp
ftp ftp.oracle.com
cd /pub/www/oas/linux
get was302.tar.Z
If the connection is lost, you can continue downloading with
reget was302.tar.Z
The download starts not from the beginning, but appends the
already transmitted part of the file.
