Display blob field on pdf with pl_fpdf

Hi All,
I wish I could use some method to output PDF from the PL/SQL. I already have a document (image stored as BLOB). Now, I need to output this image in PDF. I know doing this outside database is easy and advisable.
When I use pl_fpdf with image from url it work fine but when i want to display the image from blob I have this error:
ORA-20100: PL_FPDF error: image : ORA-20100: PL_FPDF error: p_parseImage : ORA-20100: PL_FPDF error: pl_fpdf.getImageFromUrl :ORA-31001: Invalid resource handle or path name "https://intranet.momentumtechnologies.ca/pls/prod_intranet/MOM_HTMLDB.PRC_AFFCH_IMAGE_DIVSN?P_IDE_DIVSN=0", image :https://intranet.momentumtechnologies.ca/pls/prod_intranet/MOM_HTMLDB.PRC_AFFCH_IMAGE_DIVSN?P_IDE_DIVSN=0
+ Erreur Echec impression+
I run this using Oracle APEX
Database: Oracle 9.2 running in Windows server.
Thanks in advance.

In reports, i want to display currency field out put with diff currencies

Hi all
in reports, i want to display currency field out put with different type of currencies like 1st record in rupees 2nd record in dolors 3rd record in
Euros. for this i should not use any tables and any currency fields and any functional modules. pls give replay urgently.

Hi swamy,
so sorry, but you have to use some of the objects you do not want to:
Currency values in ABAP are stored in currency fields (type CURR). If they are stored in structures or database, every CURR field must be connected to a CUKY field (currency key).
Displaying data using WRITE statement four output on a list is obsolete technique, you may use the use WRITE with the option CURRENCY c to format according to currency c in table TCURX.
SAP recommends to use ALV technique. If you use ALV to display structure data, then create a dictionary structure with currency value and currency key. The rest goes automatically.
Believe me: It is much easier and more reliable.

Display blob content as pdf file

Dear Expert,
Currently i'm using oracle apex 3.0.1.
I'm having a problem on displaying blob content (from database table) as pdf file on oracle application express but i'm able to save to download the pdf.
Below is the procedure that i used to display blob content,
PROCEDURE lf_html_pdf (pv_image IN VARCHAR2, pv_index IN NUMBER) is
l_mime VARCHAR2 (255);
l_length NUMBER;
l_file_name VARCHAR2 (2000);

HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || l_length);
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (lob_loc);
END lf_html_pdf;
I get the error message as below when i execute the procedure above;

but the error '*The requested operation is not allowed* ' prompt.
I save the image file in a table with fields mime1,picture1=> blob field.
I created a problem as follow:

GRANT EXECUTE ON download_my_file TO public;
I tried display the image by using <img src="#OWNER#.download_my_file?p_hotel_id=1" height=60 width=40 /img>
But the image don't display...
if I type http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/HOTEL.download_my_file?p_hotel_id=1 to display the picture , the error " Forbidden,The requested operation is not allowed" prompt.
Am I miss out anything? Anyone can help?
Thanks
Vincent

Hi,
I use a slightly difference code to display images: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:11]
It is possible that your GRANT command needs to be for PUBLIC instead of public - some things are case-sensitive.
Also, have you checked in SQL Workshop, Object Browser, Procedures to see if your procedure is valid?

Error when displaying a field on Screen with Table Control

Hi,
It is going to 'Dump' when I am trying to display data on the screen with the help of Table Control. From the dump, What I have observed is , there is a field 'ZTSV_FSRDATA-ANZFEHLER'. If this field has negative value, then it is going to 'Dump' saying that the length is not enough. If it has a positive value then it is working fine. But the type of the field in the Internal table & on the screen are same.
Please help me to resolve this error.
I am posting here the Dump message also:
A conversion error occurred while the program was trying todisplay data on the screen.
The ABAP output field and the screen field may not have the same format.
Some field types require more characters on the screen thanin the ABAP program. For example, a date field on a screen needstwo characters more than it would in the program. When attempting to display the date on the screen, an error will occur that triggers the error message.
Thanks,
Sreenivas Reddy Maddi.

Can a display image field be changed with javascript

I have a select list (P3_RECON_CONDITION). when it changes It triggers javascript..
in that javascript I would like it to change a Display Image field (P3_RECON_COLOR) without having to refresh the whole page..
P3_RECON_COLOR is a Display image filed that gets its image from a blob from SQL:
select color from projstat.condition_color, projstat.project where condition_color.condition = nvl(:P3_RECON_CONDITION,'W') and project.job_piece = :P3_JOB_PIECE
the display field works now, but only for what the P3_RECON_CONDITION is when the page is loaded..

yes, I tried that, but couldn't figure out how to do the: " dynamic action refresh the item P3_RECON_COLOR"
I have
Event: Change
Selection Type: Item
Item: P3_RECON_CONDITION (the select list)
no condition
TRUE ACTION: Refresh
Fire when True:
Selection Type: Item
Item: P3_RECON_COLOR (the display image)
(if I change the action to submit page.. it does fire.. but the refresh item does nothing..)

Field-Help (PDF) with right click

Hi. I would like to use the right click menu in WDA to open a pdf-file which is in the mime repository. This should work on field level, so when I switch to another field another pdf should be opened. It is okay if it's rather quick and dirty - thanks for any idea in advance.

Hi,
I think you should do it via one of the following <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/44/336208da18060be10000000a155369/frameset.htm">methods</a>

How to display Table in Interactive PDF with WD-ABAP

hi All,
I have to display a tablewith 4 rows in Interactive PDF form, and i am using WD ABAP.
These are the steps i have followed.
1. I have created a table line for the required table
2. Dragged the table line from data view to body page.
3. Wrapped the table in subform ,and made it to type "Flowable".
4. Unchecked the check box saying repeat row for each data item for table and for the header row.
Now when i preview it works fine and display 4 rows, but when the same PDF is called through Web Dynpro component, it shows an error that related to SOM Expression of that line type.
Any idea how to get rid of this error..??
If somebody could also let me know if the steps followed to display the table are correct...??
All replies will be appreciated.

Solved it myself, changes the cardinality to 1:N of the context node

Problem with update of BLOB field in a table with compound primary key

Hi,
I've been developing an application in Application Express 3.1.2.00.02 that includes processing of BLOB data in one of the tables (ZPRAVA). Unfortunately, I've come across a strange behaviour when I tried to update value in a BLOB field for an existing record via a DML form process. Insert of a new record including the BLOB value is OK (the binary file uploads upon submiting the form without any problems). I haven't changed the DML process in any way. The form update process used to work perfectly before I'd included the BLOB field. Since than, I keep on getting this error when trying to update the BLOB field:
ORA-20505: Error in DML: p_rowid=3, p_alt_rowid=ID, p_rowid2=CZ000001, p_alt_rowid2=PR_ID. ORA-01008: not all variables bound
Unable to process row of table ZPRAVA.
OK
Some time ago, I've already created another application where I used similar form that operated on a BLOB field without problems. The only, but maybe very important, difference between both the cases is that the first sucessfull one is based on a table with a standard one-column primary key whereas the second (problematic one) uses a table with compound (composite) two-column PK (two varchar2 fields: ID, PR_ID).
In both cases, I've followed this tutorial: [http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm]).
Can anybody confirm my suspicion that Automatic Row Processing (DML) can be used for updating BLOB fields within tables with only single-column primary keys?
Thanks in advance.

Is there a chance that the bug will be included in the next patch?No, this fix will be in the next full version, 3.2.

Reading Blob in Oracle 10G with Loop option

Hi,
I have a Oracle 10G database with about 8500 Records with blob field as PDF file. Each PDF is about 135KB. When I am storing all these as individual database size is coming about 1.5 GB. In reality I am having only 5 PDF types. In each record one of the above PDF file will be stored. I want to store unique 5 blob records in database. If I click on record hyperlink it should read from the location where I stored 5 PDF files. Please help me to reduce the Database size and to get the above solution.

You'll need to devise a way to determine which blob you want - probably an identifier in one of the table columns - and then look up the one you want by that value when it is needed.
Do you need help rendering the pdf too?

Serialization Object and storasge in blob field Oracle 8.1.6

Hi,
this is problem with serializing and deserializing when i am storing object serialized in a Blob field Oracle:
MyObject myObject = new MyObject();
ByteArrayOutputStream bayos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream (bayos);
oos.writeObject(myObject);
oos.flush();
byte[] buffer = bayos.toByteArray();
int size = buffer.length;
oos.close();
ByteArrayInputStream bayis = new ByteArrayInputStream(buffer,0,size);
// if the number bytes of serialized myObject > 4kbytes then the insert in Blob field fails down.
// if the number bytes of serialized myObject < 4kbytes then the insert in Blob field successes.
// So I only can put in Blob field serialized object with size minus 4k.
// The code for insert:
PreparedStatement pstmt = connection.prepareStatement(sqlInsert);
pstmt.setBinaryStream(1,bayis,size);
int retCode = pstmt.executeUpdate();
// The code for read from table Oracle
rset = stmt.rxecuteQuery(sqlSelect);
rset.next();
oracle.sql.BLOB fldBlob = (BLOB)rset.getObject(1);
InputStream ins = fldBlob.getBinaryStream();
byte[] buf = new byte[size]
ByteArrayInputStream bayis = new ByteArrayInputStream(buf,0,size);
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(bayis);
MyObject myObject = (MyObject)ois.readObject();
Someone knows the reason of the limit of 4Kbyte ?
Thanks....

Insert LOBs into Oracle is a 3 step process. You must insert a place holder, and the do a select for update to put the contents into the row. Lets say you have a table called MY_LOB:
create table MY_LOB (
 MYID NUMERIC(10) NOT NULL,
 MYLOB BLOB DEFAULT EMPTY_BLOB()
);The 'empty_blob' keyword tells Oracle to put a dummy value in the blob column when a row is initially created. To insert (assuming you have a db connection already):
conn.setAutoCommit(false);
PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
ResultSet rs = null;
oracle.sql.BLOB myLob = null;
try
 //Insert the initial row.
 pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO MY_LOB (MYID) VALUES (?)");
 //Set the PK value
 pstmt.setInt(1,100);
 pstmt.executeUpdate();
 pstmt.close();
 //Lock the row for insertion. This is needed for large inserts.
 pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("SELECT MYLOB from MY_LOB where MYID = ? FOR UPDATE");
 pstmt.setInt(1,100);
 rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
 if (rs.next())
 myLob = (oracle.sql.BLOB)rs.getBlob(1);
 rs.close();
 pstmt.close();
 //Finally...update the row with the blob data....
 myLob.putBytes(1, buffer);
 pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("UPDATE MY_LOB SET MYLOB = ? WHERE MYID = ?");
 pstmt.setBlob(1, myLob);
 pstmt.setInt(2,100);
 pstmt.executeUpdate();
 pstmt.close();
 conn.commit();
catch(SQLException sqlE)
 conn.rollback();
finally
//make sure and close all statements....
}Hope this helps, I didn't compile it so it may have some bugs. It should lead in the right direction at least.

Error displaying a jpg file loaded into a table with blob field

This may not be the correct forum for this question, but if it isn't could someone direct me to the correct one.
I have created a table with a blob field in which I have loaded a jpg image. This appeared to work correctly, but when I try to display the image in internet explorer it comes back and tells me that it doesn't recognize the file type. Enclosed is the table create, load, and display pl/sql code. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. Thanks. For the mime/header I used owa_util.mime_header('images/jpg') because my image is a jpg file.
The database is 10g
-- Create table
create table PHOTOS
IMAGEID NUMBER(10),
IMAGE BLOB,
IMAGE_NAME VARCHAR2(50)
load image
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE load_file ( p_id number, p_photo_name in varchar2) IS

-- insert a NULL record to lock
INSERT INTO photos (imageid, image_name, image)

v_amt := 4096;
END LOOP;
dbms_lob.CLOSE(Photo);
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
NULL;
END;
END;
The url I enter is: http://webdev:7777/tisinfo/tis.tiss0011.Display_Image?p_id=1

Just a little more information. When I enter owa_util.mime_header('image/jpeg') I can't display the file. It just shows up with a red x for the file.
When I enter owa_util.mime_header('image/jpg') it displays the file, but in the format
¿¿¿¿JFIF¿¿-Intel(R) JPEG Library, version [2.0.16.48]¿¿C
This is the way I would expect it to look if I opened it with Notepad, or an application that doesn't recognize jpg files. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?? Thanks.

CRXIR2 image from blob field and some fonts not displaying in PDF export

I used CRXIR2 developer edition to create a report linked to a SQL 2000 database table. There is a blob field containing a JPG image that is different for each record in the table. I am using VB.NET code with ASP.NET 2.0 to programmatically change the temp file to a local folder for easy cleanup, open this crystal report with the 11.5.3700.0 version of the assemblies, set the datasource to a DataTable extracted from the DB, and then export to a PDF file.
The code for creating the PDF is:
        Dim TempRoot As String = MapPath(".") & "\temp\"
        Dim oldTmp As String = System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("TMP")
        System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", TempRoot)
        Dim objReport As New ReportDocument()
        objReport.Load(MapPath(".") & "\CReports\" & ReportName)
        For lnX As Integer = 0 To objReport.Database.Tables.Count - 1
                objReport.Database.Tables(lnX).SetDataSource(resultTable)
        Next
        Dim objDestinationOptions As New DiskFileDestinationOptions()
        Dim objExportOptions As New ExportOptions()
        Dim objFormatTypeOptions As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.PdfRtfWordFormatOptions()
        Dim pdfName As String = "test.pdf"
        objDestinationOptions.DiskFileName = MapPath(".") & "\temp\" & pdfName
        objExportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat
        objExportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile
        objExportOptions.ExportDestinationOptions = objDestinationOptions
        objReport.Export(objExportOptions)
        objReport.Dispose()
        System.Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("TMP", oldTmp)
When I run the site locally in VS2008, everything works fine and a PDF contains the graph and all the fonts are correct.
However, when I run the exact same site from a web server running IIS6, the PDF generated does not have the image, and some of the fonts are substituted (all of the necessary fonts are installed on the IIS server).
Please help!

Hi Don,
I am able to see the image and export from the CR Designer on my machine running XP. However, I installed the designer on our IIS server running Server 2003, and the image does not show in the designer preview on that machine.
I found another forum thread that you are involved in (1902383) that seems to be dealing with this exact issue, and it looks like there may not be a resolution.
I am going to try a different route - instead of pulling in the SQL Image field directly, I am going to write it out to a temporary file and pull it in by altering the graphic location of the picture object in the report.
I'll let you know how that works.
Pete
