Discoverer Report showing invalid characters in the report data

Hi,
Can you please help me. I have designed a discoverer report in discoverer desktop 4i, when it is running the data showing some invalid characters in the data like below.
kara¿ah     L¿MAK HOLD¿NG A.¿
I have executed the same query in sql plus at that time the data shows correctly. Please let me know, is there any settings required.
Best Regards,
Umamaheshwar.

Hi Umamaheshwar
This could be a registry setting. Let me give you some background. In the Windows registy, every Oracle Home has a setting called NLS_LANG. This is the variable that controls, among other things, the numeric characters and the language used. The variable is made up of 3 parts. These are:
language_territory.characterset
Notice how there is an underscore character between the first two variables and a period between the last two. This is very important and must not be changed.
So, for example, most American settings look like this: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
The second variable, the territory, controls the default date, monetary, and numeric formats and must correspond to the name of a country. So if I wanted to use the Greek settings for numeric formatting, editing the NLS_LANG for Discoverer Desktop to this setting will do the trick:
AMERICAN_GREECE.WE8MSWIN1252
Can you please check your settings? Here's a workflow:
a) Open up your registry by running Regedit
b) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
c) Look for the Oracle Home corresponding to where Discoverer Desktop is installed. It's probably called KEY_ORANT
d) Clicking on the Oracle Home will display all of the variables
e) Take a look at the variable called NLS_LANG - if it is correct Exit the registry
f) If its not correct please right-click on it and from the pop-up select Modify
f) Change the variable to the right setting
g) Click the OK button to save your change
h) Exit the registry
Best wishes
Michael

  • What will be the peoplesoft query to calculate voluntary termination count and involuntary termination count? I am working on OBIA HR analytics workforce deployment reports and need to validate the reports

    what will be the peoplesoft query to calculate voluntary termination count and involuntary termination count? I am working on OBIA HR analytics workforce deployment reports and need to validate the reports. I also want to know the tables involved

    Hi Andrew,
    Part A:
    I've done some restating of the question, and distributed the calculations among several fields, not all of which need to be included on the visible layout. Other than formatting the Date fields and moving the 'Completed Date' field and its label, I've left this in the default "Layout 1" produced by AppleWorks.
    Field List:
    Priority: Popup menu with six items: 00, J, D, 1, 2, 3  Defaults to 00
    TL (time limit in months): Calculation:  CHOOSE('Priority',0,1,3,4,6,12)
    Received: Date. Option: Automatically insert today's date (ie. Date Record created) (may be edited)
    Target Date: Calculation:
    DATE(YEAR('Received')+INT(MONTH('Received')+'TL')/12,MOD(MONTH('Received')+'TL', 12),DAY('Received'))
    Remaining (Days): Calculation: INT('Target Date'+1-NOW())  (see revision below)
    Completed: Checkbox. Set default value to Unchecked.
    Completed Date: Date: Entered manually
    OnTarget: Calculation: IF('Completed',IF('Completed Date'<'Target Date',"On Target","Over"),IF(INT(NOW())>'Target Date',"Over","On Target"))
    The On Target field shows the current status of the case while still open, and the state on the closing date when it was closed.
    Having done that, I was unhappy with the Remaining field continuing to calculate an ever larger negative number after the case had been closed. Hence this revision below:
    Remaining: Calculation: IF('Completed','Target Date'-'Completed Date',INT('Target Date'+1-NOW()))
    Shows the number of days remaining while the case is open, the days remaining at completion if the case has been marked Completed and the completion date entered.
    Rsults (and some further formatting of the Layout) below.
    Part B:
    You will need Subsummary parts when sorted on Completed and on On Target. Fields can appear on  a Layout only once, so each subsummary part will need a separate Summary type field for each field to be summarized.

  • Second Printed Page of a Report Is Corrupted As Well the Report View When Focus Is Returned To It

    I am having a problem with a report in Access 2010. The report detail has a linked subreport in it. I build a query dynamically for both the report and subreport. There is a form that builds the queries and then displays the report in Report View. Everything
    is displayed correctly. In this view I have a command button that will print the report using “DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdPrint.”The printed report’s first page is correct. The second page has #error for all the fields for next record detail and that is it. At
    this point, there are still multiple records to print. When focus is returned to the Print View, it is corrupted and usually freezes.
    If after the Report View is displayed, I right click on the header and choose to display the Print Preview, all pages are displayed correctly. If I right click again, and select print, all pages are printed correctly, and the Report View is not corrupted.
    To see if I had corrupted the database, I imported everything into an empty database. After compiling the code, the behavior did not change at all.
    Once I place the database into production, everything will be driven by command buttons on the forms and reports so the left-click drop-down menus or any ribbons will not be available.
    Does anyone know what is happening?
    Thanks, in advance.

    Hi Ray,
    I failed to reproduce this issue in my test environment (Access 2013).
    Steps:
    #1 Create a table with the attachment field, add multiple records
    #2 Create a report with the table
    #3 Click Print Preview of the report, it worked correctly
    Can you also reproduce this issue in a newly created database, if no, I will suspect that issue is related to the specific database file (data issue or database is corrupted). You could use the link below to compact and repair the database.

    If the methods above do not work, it would be helpful if you could share us a simple demo to reproduce this issue. Due to privacy issues, I will also suggest you submitting a professional support incident to get the 1-1 support service so that Microsoft
    engineers can work closely with you to resolve this issue.

  • When the reports will be posted to the report node

    Hi ,
    I am wondering that when the reports will be posted to the report node. Whether the reports are posted to the node once the creation of the single report finishes or the post action will be performed until the finish of the process?
    Anyone has this experience ?
    Thanks in advance!

    on a process like PSJob, each individual process is treated as a separate instance. every instance gets posted separately.
    the overall distribution status gets updated once the complete job finishes.
    that is same with single processes or reports. the overall process status can get updated at the end, but the posting of report to the report node will be done as soon as the instance run completes. it does not wait to transfer the complete reports at the end of the job.
    Thanks

  • FVAT log report having invalid characters

    Hello ,
    The FireFighter VFAT log report which received through email contains invalid characters. And the log report received as TXT file. I could not able to paste the invalid characters here as its not able to show up in this page. But it looks like a square box where ever we suppose have blanks in the log report it comes with this square box characters.
    Please help me to find any solution to avoid these invalid character.
    here is the Virsa release details
    VIRSA     400_640     0008
    FireFighter 3.0 release
    Thanks
    Sridhar

    Hi,
    I suspect that the issue is with the language settings.
    - Check the default language of the system
    - Check the user parameters in SU01 for the GRC VFAT user ID (Parameters shuch as CDG will force the language).
    - Check the SCOT settings. (Your basis team can help)
    This should resolve the issue.

  • Report showing strange characters

    Hello,
    If i am entering inverted single or double quotes through the User interface, they are visible in the application but when i view this in Oracle report, it is not able to recognize these characters and showing them as inverted question mark signs.
    For example if i enter "information" (note that the quotes are inverted if i copy from microsoft word), it is coming as ¿information¿ in the report. Please help in handling this
    Thanks in Advance

    Do you really need in your report those "smart" quotes the Work supplies? Can you go with just regular straight quotes? If so, you can get rid of the smart quotes before copying to the report. Here is what MS Word help says about it:
    Change curly quotes to straight quotes and vice versa
    Microsoft Word automatically changes straight quotation marks ( ' or " ) to curly (smart or typographer's) quotes ("or") as you type.
    To turn this feature on or off:
    1.     On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
    2.     Under Replace as you type, select or clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box.
    Note You can find and replace all instances of single or double curly quotes with straight quotes in your document. To do this, clear the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box on the AutoFormat As You Type tab. On the Edit menu, click Replace. In both the Find what and Replace with boxes, type ' or ", and then click Find Next or Replace All.
    To replace all straight quotes with curly quotes, select the "Straight quotes" with "smart quotes" check box, and repeat the find and replace procedure.

  • Multiple value variable - not showing Multiple values in the report

    Could you help me resolve this ?

    Shweta

    Hello Shweta,
       Are you running the report in the Analyzer excel or Web?
    May be you can check the following:
    1. Use the latest FEP. It is working for me.
    2. May be the other values that you selected do not have corresponding keyfigures values. Hence it is showing only the first one.
    Try selecting other values ( except first one selected this time )

  • SCOM show every object in the report

    Hi,
    i got the following output in the report all objects are appearing before the report itself, any help in not showing this ?

    Hi,
    Do you mean that without click on plus sign, all objects are shown in the report?
    Then what happen when you click on plus sign?
    As far as I can tell, the report is build by report builder, and stored in the corresponding management pack, if you don't want the report like this, then we may need to rebuild it with designer, or create another report by using report builder.

    If this is a 'paper' report then =yes has always worked for me as long you have parameters declared in the report.
    Description Use PARAMFORM to specify whether to display the Runtime Parameter
    Form when you execute a report through CGI or a servlet. PARAMFORM is used only to
    supply parameters to paper layout reports, not JSP-based Web reports.
    Syntax PARAMFORM=YES|NO|HTML
    Values
    &#9632; YES Display the Parameter Form.
    &#9632; NO Do not display the Parameter Form.
    &#9632; HTML Display the Parameter Form in HTML format.

  • System Report shows two monitors on the same graphics card

    I have just purchased a new Mac Pro (late 2013) with dual AMD FirePro D500s. I have two Dell 4K displays attached. No matter which ports I connect the monitors to, System Report shows that both displays are connected to the same D500. Does this mean that I am only using one of the graphics cards, or is one master and one slave?

    By default, one GPU is setup for display duties while the other is used exclusively for GPU compute workloads. GPUs are notoriously bad at context switching, which can severely limit compute performance if the GPU also has to deal with the rendering workloads associated with display in a modern OS. NVIDIA sought to address a similar problem with their Maximus technology, combining Quadro and Tesla cards into a single system for display and compute.

  • Showing Prompt values in the report

    A report contains two prompts. Users want those values shown in the report, ideally in the title. Is this possible? If so, please provide some direction.
    Regards,
    JS

    You can do so by using presentation variables for those prompts and then using those variable names in the report title.
    Doing that will give what your users want.
