Developing Report for Oracle Apps 11i
Hi,
I am developing Reports for Oracle 11.5.8 and using Reports 6i
Are there any good documents that can guide me to develop reports exclusively for Oracle Applications
I am customizing one of the report, did a very minor modification and when I run it, it shows small square boxes in the output.
If I print it, I dont see the small boxes, Can you let me know how to avaoid this.
Aslo have a couple of questions, should I use the option "use character units in designer" or something else while developing the reports
What shold be the unit of measurement (Inches, Centimeter or Points)
Lastly, is it a good idea to "View the Grid" or not in the "layout editor"
Thanks
Vasanth
Hi Vasanth,
when I run it, it shows small square boxes in the outputI can think of 2 posssibilities:
one, the width of the column in the layout is slightly smaller than required. You can try increasing the width of the layout objects where you see square boxes.
two, you are designing the report in a language for which support/font is not available on your development machine.
should I use the option "use character units in designer"This option should be used when you design a report in "character mode", not when you are designing the report in "bitmap mode". Pl see Builder Help for more information on MODE.
What shold be the unit of measurementIs it up to you to decide. If you know the dimensions of the paper (on which you are going to print) in inches for example, you can design the report in inches. Choose any unit of measurement, and then define the width and height of paper in the Header/Main/Trailer Sections in that particular unit. The report output will be the same whether you choose the paper width as 10 inches or 25.4 cm.
Also, about point...
Point: Is a printer's type size that makes up a pica. Each pica contains twelve points and is equivalent to one-sixth of an inch.
is it a good idea to "View the Grid" or not in the "layout editor"The grid is available to help you position objects in the viewing region of the paper layout. It is helpful so you can start designing with it, but you can decide to turn it off if you do not need it.
The grid is drawn in relationship to the rulers. In the Ruler Settings dialog box, you specify the interval at which grid lines appear per unit on the ruler. �For example, if you have a Unit of inches and a Grid Spacing of 0.5, there will be one grid line per half-inch on the ruler.
You get to the Ruller Settings dialog Box by choosing Tools > Options > Rulers.

oracle userHi,
regarding adding (Add (C:\ABC) to FORMS60_PATH in the registry) could you please explain
compilation is by f60gen @ (is this right?)Correct, the syntax of using f60gen is explained in (Note: 130686.1 - How to Generate Form, Library and Menu for Oracle Applications).
The place where i am working has apps installed in IBM AIX server .. so how do i access Apps
or can i access Apps via TOAD.You will have to access the server using ftp to download the pll files to your local machine. TOAD can be used to access the database objects only (not the physical application files).

Oracle 10g AS pacth for Oracle Apps 11i
Hi everyone,
I have installed Oracle 10g AS (10.1.2.0.2) for Oracle Business Intelligence on Sun Solaris 10 (64 bit) and integrated it with Oracle Apps 11i (11.5.10.2).
Everything seems fine but i am facing problems like
1) Toolbars not appearing correctly sometimes like it is disabled and enables by itself.
2)sometimes clients come accross "Connection with Server lost..." error while taking export (very few).
3) Its giving the error (mentioned at the end) only on one client machine while taking export to Excel.
I have tried installing Oracle 10g AS patch set 2 10.1.2.2 for Solaris but the problem persisits. Is patch set 2 compatible or certified with Oracle Apps 11i? if not then is there any other work around or do i have to wait for some new patch.
Thanx for your inputs.

The last I heard is that 10.1.2.2 is not yet certified for use against E-Business Suite unless your operating system is Linux. Please take a look at this posting on Steven Chan's blog: http://blogs.oracle.com/schan/2007/04/23
The issues you are encountering, particularly the one with the toolbars disappearing, were fixed in patch 5345528 as described on my blog here: http://learndiscoverer.blogspot.com/2006/08/more-to-toolbar-icons-graying-out.html
I would advise you to go for this patch first until Oracle certify 10.1.2.2. for Sun.

Which Processor Good for Oracle Apps 11i
Hello Folks,
I am planning to buy dell laptop to install oracle Apps 11i,
The dell laptop come with the two processor.
1.AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual-core Processor
2.Intel® CoreTM 2 Duo Processor
So pls advice me to choose the best one.
Thanks, Raghu.KThe real bottleneck will be disk and memory. I liked the server Opteron processors but was never a fan of the mobile ones. I have always had fantastic performance running 11i and R12 on Centrino or Core 2 duo processors. Get a machine with the latest Santa Rosa chipset, and you can install 4 GB of RAM and have it visible to the OS (at least for Linux). I just recently configured a ThinkPad T61 with OpenSuse 10.3, 4 GB of Ram, 240 GB of disk that is running Apps 11.5.10.2 with 10.2.0.3 database and Apps R12 and Demantra Demand Planning 7.1.1 in an OAS 10.1.3 J2EE and Web Server concurrently. This is also running a KVM Windows virtual machine.

Register Drill-Down Reports in Oracle Apps 11i
I understand the registration process for registering a drill-down Oracle*Report in Oracle Applications is more complex as for a standard Oracle*Report. Does anyone know what the steps are, or where I can find documentation on this.
Any help appreciated.Hi,
ah ok, now the situation gets clearer ;)
Normally I would say that drill-down requires some kind of interactivity, so I am not sure if reports is the best way for this, because the functionality of reports is:
enter parameters > run > view output. But for drill-down you need some more functionality: select a column/value where you want to drill-in or out, have some kind of hierarchy to select the "drill-level"... I don't think that this is foreseen in Reports 6i. So I would try maybe two different ways:
1. design the report in a way that the users can select the drill-level (or level of detail) as a report parameter. For example you create a parameter "Detail Level" with possible values "Summary", "Detailed Rows". Based on the parameter value chosen the report returns different output. This keeps you of course limited to a certain, fixed set of drill-levels, but I think this is ok in most of the cases.
2. Another option could be to create several different reports, for example one "Summary" report and one "detailed" report, and in the summary report you could include links (dynamic URLs) to the detailed report, and when the user clicks on a certain value in the Summary report, then the detailed report is started for that specific value. However this is a bit more complex, I'd go for the first option.
But to get real drill-down functionality you should consider using Discoverer or BI Publisher technology, those are perfect for such kind of reports.
kind regards,
David. -

SubirOracle has now changed Oracle Apps DBA Certification track. New version now includes three exams focused on Apps DBA role (against previous Workflow & Sysadmin)
1Z0-235 Apps DBA Fundamental I
1Z0-236 Apps DBA Fundamental II
1Z0-233 11i Install patch and Maintain Applications
First two exams are same as 9i OCP so if you are 9i or 10g OCP , In order to clear Apps DBA Certification Track you just have to clear one exam i.e. 1Z0-233 11i Install patch and Maintain Applications -

The standard BI Publisher is part of EBS applications.
Most of the EBS reports(R12) are based on BI Publisher.
If you check the responsibility 'XML Publisher Administrator' you will see all the templates used in the application.
Your technical team should already know this.
On the other hand OBIEE would need separate licences.
But for you BI Publisher would do.

When executing this report in Oracle Apps 11i, how can I have the keyboard cursor skip or jump automatically to parameter P2 after I have selected P1 = 'A' (Grayed out P3) ?
Similarly, the keyboard cursor should skip or jump automatically to parameter P3 after I have selected P1 = 'B' (Grayed out P2) ?
Any idea? All suggestions welcome ....hi,

Hi,
we are working in oracle apps 11i. I have an application report developed by an ex-employee that I would like to add a new parameter to .
I use reports builder 6i . The reports consists of 6 queries and I'm facing the following issues:
1. when running the report from Oracle Reports builder I can use the second parameter. But from the application request form the report generates no data when the very same set of parameters is used. What can be the problem? What do I need to check?
2. Can I outer join the queries in reports builder .If yes, how can I do that? From where?

Oracle Apps 11i - Pasta Setup for Barcode print in rdf file

If anybody have any idea about how to configure pasta to print post script files which support barcode, please suggest.
I have already read many documents but not able to do that. In one of pasta document i found that, pasta support two type of TrueType font. One can be used for regular text and second can be used (bold) for barcode printing. But it shows barcode font as a regular font.
