Converting from rpt to oracle reports

hello all
i ld like to know if i can convert report in RPT to oracle report ,and how i can do it , if its possible ?
regards

Hi ,
With what application is RPT is generated ? Oracle Reports supports extensions only like RDF, REX, REP, XML(Report XML type), JSP(Report JSP type), TDF(Report template binary file).
Oracle Reports converter application(rwconverter.exe in 9i) allows different conversions possible. This application has a UI which will list you all the source types that are allowed as drop-down list and one another drop-down for Destination types.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Vinod

Converting old 2.5 Oracle Reports to 6i (.rdf)

Hi!
I wonder if anyone can help me with this issue. I have .rdf files from mid 1990's ( I'm not sure what is the version ) and now I would like to modify them by Oracle Reports Builder 6i. If I try to open those files by Oracle Reports Builder 6i I get the following error message:
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'C:\file.rdf'
REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document
So I made a conclusion that those .rdf files are too old for 6i. Do I need to convert, and especially how, those files?
.rdf files where copied from Unix machine to Win XP machine where Oracle Report Builder is installed.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Eduardo Lucas,
I have done such installation on the same machine under same ORACLE_HOME. The order I followed is 2.5 first and then 6i. I did on Windows NT. Also both worked fine without any problems. But haven't tried for XP.
Thanks,
Vinod.

Keys lost in converting from sybase to oracle

I am trying to convert from sybase 12 to oracle 10 using the migration workbench.
The oracle data base created does not have the primary keys that were in the sybase data base. I used the tool to create migration scripts, Create.sql and Drop.sql. These scripts create the tables but do not have primary keys in them.
Another question is I have user types from the sybase database. Is it possible to change them in the tool? Right now it looks like I can only change the basic database types as in smallInt.

Hi <Please Supply Your Name>,
What version of SQL Developer are you using?
"Create.sql" and "Drop.sql" sound like old OMWB names, Just want to double check.
Thanks

Passing data from JSP to Oracle Reports

Hi,
We have a requirement to query and display data in JSP pages and when clicked on 'Report' button of the JSP, an Oracle report should be called.
The data which is queried in JSP should be passed to the Oracle report. Is there any way of doing it? This is to avoid re-querying the database again from Oracle Reports.
Environment: jdk1.3, Oracle Application Server 9i, Oracle 9i, Report 6i
Thanks in Advance,
Srinivas

You could have the Applet make a request to the server (via URLConnection).

Converting from Sinlge-Node Oracle Apps Instance to 2 Node Instance

Hi,
I am in the process converting my Single Instance Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 instance on Windows 2003 server to a 2 Node instance. I want to move the DB Tier only to another Windows 2003 server.
Plz suggest how I can achieve this. Can I use 'adcfgclone appsTier' to get this done.
Rgds,
Thiru

1) Run "perl adpreclone.pl dbTier" on the source database node
2) Run "perl adpreclone.pl appsTier" on the source application node
3) Shutdown the application/database services and copy the(<sid>db, and <sid>data) directories to the target node
4) Run "perl adcfgclone.pl dbTier" on the target database node
5) Make sure the database and the database listener are up and running
6) Run "perl adcfgclone.pl appsTier" on the source application node
7) Start the application services

Hi,
Have you gathered stats as well ? Did the query use index(es) as well ?
Without any more info like explain plan, indexes, etc., further help will be unable.

Passing SQL-Parameters to Oracle-Reports from java

hello,
i want to write an application in the following way:
on a java-frontend an user can select values for different
parameters. these values should be to transferred to the sql-
query of the reports rdf file. what is the syntax of an
parameter passed from java to oracle reports.
does this work with runtime.exec()... ?
does anybody have an example.
any help would be very appreciated.
greetings
Thorsten Lorenz

In order to pass the parameters to report rdf, you can create user parameters in the oracle report builder, hook up the parameters with query. For example, you can create user parameter P_DEPTNO, then create a sql query: select * from dept where deptno = :P_DEPTNO. When you run this report, you give P_DEPTNO=10 as parameter, the rdf will generate report that only prints out department 10's information.
Once you have this kind of report created, you have several ways to achieve what you want.
1. use rwrun60. In your java program, you can invoke rwrun60 via runtime.exec(cmd) where cmd = rwrun60 report=dept.rdf userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname=dept.pdf p_deptno=<value_from_java_app>
2. similarly, use rwcli60. the cmd would be:
cmd = rwcli60 server=repserver report=dept.rdf userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname=dept.pdf p_deptno=<value_from_java_app>
3. use rwcgi60. Instead of using runtime.exec, you should use java URL object to run the report in the web environment.
option 2 & 3 takes advantage of powerful functionality of reports server, and it is much more scale than option 1.

Oracle Report vs JSP efficiency and Excel XML in Web Source Questions

I have used Oracle Reports in the past 6i, but haven't used them in about 4 years. We are now using 9.0.4 reports and I am trying to generate Excel XML from an Oracle report by manipulating the web source of the report. Basically copying and pasting the Excel XML into the web source of the Oracle Report instead of html as suggested by this Metalink Doc ID 240819.1. I do have a JSP working example that generates Excel XML created in JDeveloper and successfully spawns off a very nice looking Excel spreadsheet.
However, a statement was made here by our app sever guy that an Oracle Report is more efficient at getting data from the database than a JSP. The app sever section does not want anyone using JSPs to generate a report of any kind. I guess small web pages are OK since our java guys use them all the time. This rule for a Reports only environment seems a little restrictive to me. Is there any truth to the statement that Oracle Reports bulk collects data in one chunk as opposed to a JSP making multiple trips to the database from the middle tier?
Secondly, if an Oracle Report is more efficient in the way that it collects large record sets from the db, and if I save an Oracle Report as a JSP not an rdf, and use the reports_tld.jar with the rw tags instead of the typical jsp jstl tags, will I still get the same improvement from using an Oracle report? I guess the improvement is in the library used correct?
Thirdly, although not part of this forum, I also am assuming that if we have single sign on that when I call a JSP from an Oracle Form I will not have to log in again correct?
Thanks...

It could be the configuration issue. Reconfigure the engine.

Oracle Reports 6i -- Image embeded, formatting PDF, Excel

I am using Oracle Reports 6i on Windows 2000. I run the reports from a Java application, using the RWServlet, passing in the URL all the parameters needed.
Now I need to run from my application oracle reports created by somebody else. Initially those reports were run from a client/server application in the client's Report Runtime environment. And I need at my turn to create others with the same look and feel.
The existent reports do not appear to use any template.
I was going through the Oracle Reports documentation, but I still have to clarify some things.
Here there are my questions:
1.- The company logo image
I found in the Layout Model/Main Section/Margin an image object, but I looked in the Property Palette and there is no path to the image, just under Boilerplate there is a object of Type Image.
How does the report know what to embed in the report's header?
2.- Printing reports in different formats: i.e. PDF
When the reports are run in the client/server Report Runtime environment, the user can print the report in different formats including PDF, Delimited, XML, etc.
Is there a way to print the report in PDF or any other format from my web application that uses the RWServlet?
3.- Report appearance in the browser
Run in the browser the report loses formatting as opposed to client/server.
Is there a way to make the report look good through some sort of general configuration, or should I fix each element that doesn't look god in Live Previewer, or somewhat else?
4.- Report in Excel
Is it possible to save the report to an Excel file or to generate it in Excel from Oracle Reports?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

Whew...lot's of questions...let's see if I can help (at least a little)...
1. Quite possibly, the user is/was pulling the image from the database? I do this in my environment, so it might be worth a look.
2. You should be able to print in any format from the web. You may need to adjust your destype/desname/desname parameters.
3. Only thing I can think of here is that maybe the original report was not written using a standard web-friendly font?
4. There's a couple of ways you can get data into an excel file:
A. Use DDE and poke the data right into it (messy when you need to print the regular Oracle report too).
B. Add an option to print to file and set the desformat to DELIMITEDDATA. Be sure to go through the data model and set Exclude from XML Output to 'Yes' for fields you don't need. Also, be aware that this may not come out in the same order as they do on the printed report. You can read about this on Metalink.
Hopefully that helps you a little bit. :)

Converting data from a clob to RTF in Oracle Reports

Hello
I have created a table in my database and one of the columns is a CLOB , data in the CLOB i've copied from a word document .
I've created a report that has to retrieve the value from the CLOB in RTF output, the problem is that the output is in binary format .
If someone can help me i relly appreciate.
Another thing , i tried saving a doc file into a html file , opening the html file with a notepad , and the content of the notepad putting into a CLOB , after putting in the text into the first tab 'text' i've checked the html tab and it appears to be ok in plsql dev,in report I used on the field properties that contains html tags = yes . But the output was not the same as in the CLOB tab html , it had other formatting and looked totally different , i'm almost sure that the problem is from tags , but modifying them takes too much time and I have too many reports that i must make in word and i cannot work on modifying the tags.
PS: I use Oracle Reports 6i
Anyone knows an alternative method for putting data from a doc document into a clob and making a query in reports that retrieves the value of the clob , and the output has to be rtf or pdf ?
Thank you in advance

How to Open an Oracle Report From a JSF Page

Hi there,
I would be really grateful if anyone would find me a solution to the following scenario:
In my company, we have a project where we have to convert Oracle Forms and Reports to Java Web Application. The conversion of forms is being done thourgh JSF/ADF technology but how can i open an Oracle Report from a JSF page after supplying it with parameters ? Or i have to do some type of conversion before ?
Once again i would be thankfull for your replies.

Tapash,
Thanks for reponding.
Here is the URL I am currently using :
https://gccss.glendale.edu:8001/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=rep60_crp3+userid=apps/pswd@crp3+report=/u07/oracle/crp3appl/gcccus/11.5.0/reports/US/GCC_ACCRUAL_BAL_0505.rdf+desformat=html+paramform=yes+destype=cache+p_accesscode=""
The p_accesscode is the parameter I need to pass to the Oracle report.
Currently, when I click the button, it invokes the above URL and takes me to the parameter form of the Oracle report and when I enter the Username, it runs the report and displays the desired output. But, what I need to achieve is, to pass the current user who has logged in behind the scene and to get rid of the parameter screen totally. Is this doable ? If yes, please help me !!!
Thanks
