Crystal to Oracle REports

Is there any easy way to convert Crystal 6 or Crystal 7 reports to Oracle Reports 6i?
I know I can take out the queries. I am more interested in transforming the parameters and some of the formulas.
any 3rd party tools?
Thanks

Oracle report or crystal report ?

hello,
I am in the process of choosing a reporting tool to access an oracle database, I end up with two tools , oracle report and crystal report.
i hear that oracle report is too complicated and is not flexible.
Is that true, i need some advisement
thanks

"too complicated" == "more powerful or I don't understand why it needs all that stuff... till later when I need it and don't have it"
"not flexible" == "I don't know how to do it in that tool"
grin. Although I must admit that there are things in Reports that I struggle over that are SOOOOO easy in Crystal Reports or MS Access(reports). But the reverse is also true.
Look particularly at the reports server 6i capabilities...to be fair, I haven't tried to accomplish the same sort of things with dynamic access reports or Crystal Reports ( see definition two above and apply it to me ).

Oracle reports to Crystal reports

Hi
we have existing Oracle reports executed using Oracle Reports Server.
Is it possible to replicate same scnario in Crystal reports. Means can we replace Oracle reports with Crystal Reports.
What all component do we need?
Do we need to use Crystal report Server

You have a few options.
I can't really speak to Oracle reports but I can give you a quick explanation of how you could embed Crystal Reports inside of your applications
Option 1. Crystal Reports for Eclipse - This allows you create reports inside of Eclipse and embed those reports inside java applications using our Java runtime engine. In this scenario you would be placing our runtime inside your application.
http://diamond.businessobjects.com/eclipse
Option 2. For higher report loads and extra features you could use something like Crystal Reports Server(CRS). CRS has backend services contain the report engine. These reports can be run outside your application and then the output is streamed to your application via a client API.
Hope this helps

Using CLOBs in oracle Report Builder

I want to select all the data in a CLOB column using SQL Navigator by just doing
select entry_note
from chartentries;
just as you say in your example by it just gives me back a result of (ORACLOB).
If I do
select to_char(entry_note)
from chartentries;
I get this error.
If I do
select dbms_lob.substr(entry_note,4000,1)
from chartentries
I get this (there’s more up to 32000 characters in a clob) and these weird squares which I think are CR (carriage returns) or LF (line feeds). I don’t want to see those characters and I would like to retrieve the entire CLOB in one swoop without doing data manipulations of substringing.
Using the same data in Oracle Report Builder, I want to select all the data in a CLOB column into a field in a Paper report layout but I keep getting errors, ora-6502, and I've found out that I am restricted to 4000 characters and in Report 9i it looks like the largest field you can have is 4000 characters. My CLOB information can be up to 32000 characters long or longer and I do not want to substring out 4000 characters at a time into separate fields. In Crystal reports there is no problem just selecting the clob in a simple query and it is there in one shot. I would have thought by now that Oracle would have changed its development tools to be able to handle Clobs simply without any manipulation. Does anyone know how to do this in Report builder? I just have a simple query:
select entry_datetime,
to_char(replace((entry_note),chr(13))) as entry_note
from chartentries
where patient_id = 49741
Another thing I want to do, is call this Oracle report from a PL/SQL block passing several parameters to the report and also call a Crystal report from a PL/SQL block passing several parameters to the report. Does anyone know what the commands are?

What I had to do is create a query using query builder. This works fine; it's when trying to add the column to an existing query is where the data inconstancy error occurs. One thing you have to keep in mind is it will only work using the query builder in conjunction with the report wizard; I am not sure why. To incorporate the comments into an existing frame you will have to cut the frame created by the wizards and copy it into the existing frame. Otherwise the column name will not show in the source list of the property Inspector.
Good Luck

Oracle Reports with Oracle Financials (FMIS)

Hi folks,
I'm in a bit of a bind at the moment. I really really need a little help getting an understanding of Oracle Report Writer. The situation is as follows:
I'm currently working on a system that moves data from an SQL Server 7.0 Database into some Oracle Financials (FMIS) Interface Tables. The Interface tables are apparently used to post Customer and Invoicing information into the real Oracle Financials tables, for Invoicing and General Ledger purposes.
Its come to my understanding that Oracle ReportWriter is no longer available on the market today? Is this true? The reason why I ask is, my client is tossing with the idea of using Oracle ReportWriter over Crystal Reports.
The only thing that I have heard is that Oracle Report Writer is a much more powerful tool than Crystal Reports. So I guess the main question would be, is Report Writer a more powerful and easy to use application over other report writing tools?
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Vick,
I believe it is all in the name. Oracle ReportWriter is long gone; however it has evolved to Oracle Reports which is going strong. The current version is Oracle Reports 6i and has been out for more than a year. It was preceeded by Oracle Reports 6.0, 3.0, 2.5, 2.0 and finally ReportWriter1.1,.... The Early versions were packaged in various bundles with our other tools.
Oracle Reports is a very powerful reporting tools and stacks up very well against Crystal. One big advantage is that we work extremely well against an Oracle Database (no external drivers to go through). We also run on a greater variety of machines including Unix. We provide XML output and integration with our other BI tools, Discoverer and Express as well as Oracle Portal. Reports can be deployed over the web using standard CGI/Servlet technology. I don't have room to mention all the advantages, but click on this link to our OTN website for a high level overview Reports 6i. http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/pdf/iasreports.pdf
Other documentation is also available to show you the power of Oracle Reports 6i.

ORA-06508 PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
Cause: An attempt was made to call a stored program that could not be found. The program may have been dropped or incompatibly modified, or have compiled with errors.
Action: Check that all referenced programs, including their package bodies, exist and are compatible.
Ignore my previous suggestion (removing objects), check the following:
Is there any library attached to this report (pll/plx)?
<pre>
1. If yes, then
-check if library exists on the linux server and preferably in the same folder with reports
-recompile the library
-open rdf file and remove the library
-attach the library again, and make sure you remove the path
-copy the library and report file on linux and run the report
2. If no (no library is attached), then
-are there any database package/function/procedure are being used in the report?
-if yes, then
-check the status of that package/function/procedure
</pre>
Hope this helps.

Could you please elaborate more? What do you exactly want? You can run any sql at SQL*Plus and take the output as report
You can use Oracle Reports to create a report or you can use Crystall Reports as third part utility

Tool or script to compare two oracle Reports?

Hi:
Anybody knows any tool or script to compare or conciliate two Oracle reports?
The idea is to detect the differences to impact then in the older report.
I tried comparing each .REX with a text file comparing tool (like a Unix diff), but the differences I found were bassed in tables and fields used when we save the report to the database. The main problem using that is how to impact the differences found in the Report Builder.
The following are 2 examples of diferences found, which I dont know how to impact them in the Reports Builder
DEFINE ROSSTRINGS
BEGIN
groupid = 15453
stringid = 0
lfid = 0
cs = 31
len = 7
str = (BINARY)
<<"
5020426f 6f6b0000
">>
END
DEFINE SRW2_LAYOUT
UITAG = 18039
HDR_CHAR_HGT = 65
I'll thanks a lot yours suggestion or ideas.
Sincerily, Sebastian Barbieri

May beu2026 Business Object u2013 Crystal Reports can explain us how is a report built and how we can find the u201Cdata sourcesu201D. If it can beu2026 I will be able to make a program to compare the u201Cdata fieldsu201D in two, three, four,u2026 reports.
It will be very useful to compare if two reports have the same u201Cdata fieldsu201D or, two directories have the same number of reports and everyone in the first folder have the consequent in the second folder.
Of course, when I talking about folders, Iu2019m want to say two folders who contains reports but each folder have reports linked to different DBMS (Oracle, SQL Server,u2026).

HTML DB versus Oracle Reports

I'm trying to decide if I should use HTML DB or Oracle Reports for reporting in my web application.
I have an ASP.NET web app and I'm using Oracle 9i Release 2 database. Instead of using Crystal Reports I want to use Oracle technology.
I want to create the reports then link to them in my web app. There won't be any ad-hoc reporting, but users should be any to pass parameters to the reports -- should as a date range.
Any suggestions on which one I should use for my situation? What are the pros/cons to using HTML DB or Oracle Reports? We have an enterprise license for all Oracle products so this is not an issue.
Thanks!

Jimmy,
I canâ tell you which product is better in your situation. HTML DB is used to develop applications, so reporting is just one of many features. But based on what you want to create, HTML DB would be a suitable tool for this task. You can create reports, link to those reports, link from report rows to other pages. Let users specify a number of parameters that can be used in the where-clause of your queries, etc. There are limitations of course, especially if you have some advanced printing needs. But since you already have licenses for all Oracle products, Iâd suggest you give it a try and see if HTML DB meets your needs.
Regards,
Marc

Oracle Reports - PDF report

I have a PDF report designed using oracle report builder 6i. This report has a margin that prints the total of all the quantities to be ordered via a QUOTE. If this report prints beyond one page, then the total will print on all the pages. Users do not want to see the total on all the pages but only on the last page. I really need to keep these total fields on the MARGIN section of the layout. Is there any way, i can still keep these fields on the margin and print them only on the last page of the report? The report builder do not let me set the 'print condition' as the 'last page' because it is in the margin section. Any idea on this issue??

I would create a trigger for your MARGIN totals so they print only on the last page.
Have the trigger return TRUE if current page = total pages, else return FALSE.
This will make sure your margin totals are only visible on the last page.

XML Publisher Report in EBS without Standard Oracle Report

Hi folks ,
i have some questions.
Can I create a XML Publisher Report for the EBS without a Standard Oracle Report in EBS.
So that I can build up the files with the Desktop Publisher, create Data Definition / Template with Upload / Create the executable und concurrent and than only start the new program in EBS ?
I have the situation that I can start my program with the template in the background but ít is searching for the report on the file system.
Thanks in advance for the feedback.
regards
Kay

Hi Ravi ,
can i do it only with the xml Publisher , because when i tried it in the past and get all the staff like Template / DD / CP up and running and started the CR i get an error from the system that he is missing a report directly in the file system... so he searched for the report himself on system like a standard 6i Report. But the template and the dd is stored in the db. So my question again, can I use the XML Puplisher without a Standard Report or can i use a dummy file only for checking and after that he use my template / dd.
regards
Kay
