Need guidline to attach Date picker in Oracle report

I need to take the input from the date picker in oracle report (in runtime parameter form). Pls. help me if any one can

Do not use the built in parameter form, but create your own. If you are calling Reports from Forms, create a Form where you can enter the parameters. For the date parameter, you can create the Forms field with a date picker.

Using Web Service as Data source (Pluggable Data Source) in Oracle Reports

Anyone using Webservice as a pluggable data source in oracle 10g reports.(Report builder version:10.1.2.0.2)? We need to be able to use web service as one of the data source to create reports.Tried the following and ran into issues:
Imported the wspds.jar fle from oracle plugin exchage. When tried using it received the following error in oracle reports trace file.
04/26 22:27:22 java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: oracle.xml.parser.schema.XSDBuilder.build([Loracle/xml/parser/v2/XMLDocument;Ljava/net/URL;)Ljava/lang/Object;
By troubleshooting issue found out that xmlparserv2.jar in 10g is newer than xmlparserv2.jar in 9i. wspds.jar is using xmlparserv2.jar in 9i as it was developed and tested for 9i only. Believe there is no newer wspds.jar file developed specifically for 10g?
Is there a better/standard solution to use webservice as data source in oracle 10g reports? Does later version of oracle reports supports webservice as a data source without any additional plugins? Any suggestion would be helpful.

Please provide support for the above request.
It appears that Oracle 10g reports doesn't support Web Service as pluggable data source. Is this option is available in Oracle 11g Reports or Oracle Discoverer Or OBIEE?

Pass a ViewObject as a data parameter into Oracle Reports

Can I pass a ViewObject as a data parameter in an Oracle Reports jsp Report?

you can use impliment this script to your query get data from file
function AfterPForm return boolean is
infile text_io.file_type;
linebuf varchar2(3000) := '';
filename varchar2(100);
v_employee_id varchar2(2000);
begin
filename := :P_file_name; /* you can pass the file name like this c:\temp\test.txt */
infile := text_io.fopen(filename,'r');
loop
text_io.get_line(infile,linebuf);
v_employee_id := v_employee_id| |linebuf| |' ';
end loop;
if text_io.is_open(infile) then
text_io.fclose(infile);
end if;
exception when no_data_found then
text_io.fclose(infile);
v_employee_id := replace(rtrim(v_employee_id),' ',',');
:p_employee_param := 'and employee_id in ('| |v_employee_id| |')';
/* you can use either 'where employee_id in ('| |v_employee_id| |')' or
'and employee_id in ('| |v_employee_id| |')' */
return (TRUE);
end;
I think it will help you to solve your problem. Do not forget to put &v_employee_param
Good Luck

Data Source for Oracle reports

Hi,
Can Oracle Reports support anyother data source. I am using
Reports Server to invoke reports. The requirement is client
passing the dat that have to come in the report. (The size of
data can be high).So is there any method other than sending the
data as parametes(which in this case is not feasible).
The client is a browser.
Regards
Ravi

hello,
oracle reports 6i supports SQL, PLSQL and Express as datasource.
for passing large amounts of data, a temporary table in the
database would be most reasonable.

Date format in Oracle reports

Hello everyone,
I need my report ro show dates with HH:MM:SS. But the report only shows dates as DD-MON-RR. I think I chose all the correct format masks in the report builder (DD-MON-RR HH24:MI:SS), and in the rtf tags.
Another point is that all the date fields in the report , if I look at the Property inspector, have Width 9, and I can not change it because the column type is Database-Scalar.
Any ideas?
Thank you

Hi Olga,
If the Date in the database is date (not datetime) means you cannot use a DD-MON-RR HH:MI:SS in your reports.
If you want to show date with time means, change the properties in Oracle Forms of that date field and assign datetime as datatype.
So that the value inserted to the field will become datetime. and automatically if you use this column in your report you will get date along with time.
Hope this clears...

Data links Questions on Reports Builder

We are currently using Reports Builder 10.1.2.3.0. We are trying to create a topology report. So, we have about 5 queries in the data models which are linked using a query links with Child Destination column in the child query.
So, here is the example:
Q1 --> Q2 (joined with Q1 child) --> Q3 (joined with Q2 child) --> Q4 (joined with Q3 child)--> Q5 (joined with Q4 child).
So, the problem we are experiencing is when Q2 has same child twice, the Q2 query is actually sending the same child id to Q3 twice (or however many times its repeating). Is there any way to distinct the child so we get only one child sent to Q3?
Here is an example:
Q1
Parent Child
A1 B1
A2 B2
A3 B3
Q2
Parent Child
B1 C1
B1 C2
B2 C1
Q3
Parent Child
C1 D1
C1 D1
C2 D3
Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You are on the right track, here is how our structure looks like:
Query1
Street, City
Query 2
City, State
Query 3
State, Country
And Queries are linked using group links.
Here is an example:
Query 1 results:
Street1 City1
Street1 City2
Query 2 results:
City1 State1
City1 State2
City2 State3
City2 State1
Query 3 results:
State1 Country1
State1 Country1
State2 Country4
State3 Country5
Note: example is not realistic, i know. just wanted to give you picture.
So, the repeating frame for Query3 gets Stateid from Query2 one by one rather than collect it and distinct it, hence the duplicates. I hope this explains it.

Printing Chinese Date format using Oracle Reports

Hi ,
I need to print the date as for e.g, 2006 4 12 (Year Month and Day) with a chinese character after each of the three components, representing the year, Month and Day.
When running the report with the format mask as RRRR Mon DD, I get the chinese character for the Month component and not for the year and day. I tried with different format masks available and also tried with somehting which is not in list as well. But, I couldn't get the intended format.
Is there anyone who has done this before? If so, pl. let me know the way to get this done.
regards,
tilak

Oracle Reports 9i release date???

Dear All,
Has there been a release date set for Oracle Reports 9i? We are having some serious installation issues with Oracle Reports 6i clashing with Oracle 8.0.6 database, 9i Application Server, and trying to get the demos installed so that we can really learn how to use this tool that seems like it will definitely fit our web app reporting needs.
Thanks in advance for any info,
Jeff

Almost a week later, and still no change to the Express Edition download page. There must be some last minute bugs to fix.
At least 11gR2 XE fixes the problem (that exists with 10gR2 XE) on Windows where starting the Oracle XE service does not open the database.
Edit: that Oracle newsletter has been edited. It now says: "Oracle Database, Express Edition 11g is now available for download as a beta release, +and the production release is imminent+."

Embedding Fonts in Oracle Reports with PDF output

I've read in the data sheet for Oracle reports that you can embed font in the PDF output, but I cannot seem to find any documentation on how this is done. Current we have PDF reports being generated using reports server on Compaq (Alpha based) server running TRUE64 UNIX. The reports server uses the fonts install on the Compaq to figure out the layout (we use auto-sized fields). When the PDF is displayed on a Windows client the fonts are substituted and the labels and fields overlap. I want to embed the UNIX fonts into the PDF so that the output is reproduced as it was generated.

You need to export as PDF (Interactive) and you also need to view the PDF in Reader or Acrobat 9 or later.

Migration steps in oracle reports and forms

Hi,
I want to migrate oracle reports and oracle forms from its curent versions to 10G.
current versions:
Oracle Report : 2.5
Oracle Forms : 4.5
any help would be appreciated.....
Thanks,
Ganesh

Hi,
there is the forms upgrade center on OTN. There is a lot of information about upgrading of forms. ou can find it here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html.
The way is (to my knowledge), go from 4.5 to 6i and then to 10g.
On the page you also find a link for Oracle Reports.
If you have more questions, I think you should ask your questions in the Forms Forum: Forms or in the Reports Forum: Reports There are the experts on the topic.

Missing Oracle Reports tutorial sample files

The Oracle reports tutorial version 10.1.2, which I just downloaded along with Oracle reports, specifies where the sample files can be found in the prerequisites section. It says,
You can download these files from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) Oracle Reports 10g page (http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/index.html): click Getting Started with Oracle Reports. Navigate to the index, then click Examples. On the Examples page, you will see a link to Oracle Reports Tutorial.
There is no "Getting Started with Oracle Reports" on that web page. I've looked around for the sample files for this turorial and I can't find them. Does anyone know where they are located?

I found the sample code for the Oracle Reports tutorial. It's at:

Oracle Reports with XML output showing data as asterik character

Hello,
I'm trying to create an Oracle report with xml output. Here is the issue I'm having some of the columns in my report are of datatype number. When I run the report and generate xml file the values for those columns(datatype number) are showing as (*) character, other columns are showing fine. But when I run the report as text output then data is fine. I don't understand why this is happening.
The property of column is Column Type - Database Scalar, Datatype - Number , width 0,-127.
Does the width has to do anything with this?
I'm using Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3, DB version 10g.
Can anyone please help me with the issue I'm having.
Thanks

If the links in your example report1 and report2
follow my format stated earlier
http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet/report=reportnam
e.rdf&destype=cache& paramform=htmlcss&server=<YourReportSe
rverName>&userid=scott/tiger@hrdb&desformat=pdf
This is what I believe
>
so http://machine:port/ is the port where
JBoss is running and
This should be the port that the report server is listening on
>
server=<YourReportServerName> is the name of
my oracle report server
so I call the above link in my current application
and the report would show up
Yes
>
that means (correct me if I am wrong) that my reports
would have to be deployed in OracleAS
Yes
>
I have to try all this yet as till this point I was
trying to run Oracle reports deployed in JBoss...
This may be possible, I am not sure.

Oracle J2EE Thin Client?
I am not sure what this is used for in your setup.
