Invoke oracle report 10g from database pl/sql package

Hi
Is there a way that i can invoke an oracle report 10g from the database pl/sql package? I am working on a requirement that needs to generate a report when one of the criteria is not met.
Please suggest me on this.

Thanks for the info.
I have a scenario where i need to fetch members details like name , email address and so on from the mainframes on the oracle database. Then on the oracle database i need to check if they have a email address or not. If yes then i need to generate a notice and mail it to them. If they don't have an email address, i'll have to print that out in a some centralized location.
By the way, the notice was developed using oracle reports 10g.
Now i am developing a pl/sql package which will do the address validation but i didn't know how to call a oracle report to generate the notice in pl/sql procedure.
As suggested i will try with dbms scheduler and see if that works for me.

Error: "file not found" when try to display image on report

Dear All
I have a problem when running my report.
My Table emp_info Stores all data about employees in addition to the employee image path.
I made a report that display employee information including its photo.
I run my report passing the parameter p_emp_id to display the desired emploree information.
I made a field on the report to display the employee image
and i set its property READ FROM FILE = YES and FILE FORMAT=IMAGE
But the following error occurs
"File '\\iai3\iaigc\ALL\emp_images\51.JPG' not found. "
I'm sure that the path is correct
But i do not know why the report stops and can not read the image path.
My platform is:
Oracle application server installed on linux
and oracle report builder installed on widows for development

Dear aweiden
thanks for replaying
I belive you are right . I think the problem is in the path.
But there is something that i did not mentioned to you. I work on two different servers.
1- "iai2" : Linux server which contains oracle application server.
2- "iai3" Windows 2003 server which contained oracle database 10g and the folder "aigc\ALL\emp_images" which contains Employees images
I think that the problem is that Linux server can not understand the path "\\iai3\iaigc\ALL\emp_images\51.JPG".
Do you have any idea how the path should be changed so that Linux can recognizes it.
Thanks in advance

Display Image on report through Field Definitions Only File.

Hi all,
I have a report where I work with Field Definitions Only files (ttx).
These files are mapped to classes in code behind (csharp).
In code behind I make lists of these classes. Each list is set as the datasource of a subreport.
This works great!
My new goal:
Now I tried adding a picture to my report.
In the TTX file I added a BLOB field.
In the code-behind class I added a System.Drawing.Image.
My actual problem:
The class gets filled with the image, but the image is NOT displayed on the report
Does anyone know why this is happening?
How can I fix this? (should I use another Type in my class for the picture?) (should I format the picture in the report? ....)
Kind regards,
Wim

Hi AG,
Thanks for your response.
This is my TTX field:
Signature BLOB
I can't see the image in the report because I create the image in code-behind.
I think the problem doesn't occur in CrystalReports but in the conversion from my StrokeCollection (I use an InkCanvas [WPF] to capture a signature) to a ByteArray.
I am already one step closer to the solution. You can't just assign an object of type Image to the BLOB field of the report but it has to be a Byte-Array.
The problem I am facing now is that the picture is black after a conversion. (I see this when I export to disk and open the file in MSPaint).
The good thing is that CR shows me a black image so I guess CR is doing its job!
Kind regards,
Wim

reg,
jell

just create a query like this:

How to get images dynamically from database without file paths in the table field

I have a MS-Access database. I am working with ASP.NET. In the database there is product table in which I have "CodeNo" as a field which is a text field, and the product codes like "SM-R-2035". I also have another field "Image" which is also a text field and which have a file path in it corresponding to the particular product Image (e.g. Images\Products\SM-R-2035.jpg). So far every thing is ok. I have to update this site very frequently and lots of images are added each and every time. Its a tedious work to type the paths and file name every time and it also take a lot of time.
What I am asking is : Is it possible to get images from a specific folder at runtime which is referenced by the "code no" itself and not the file path from the database. (Say at run time the "code no" is referenced from the database and the corresponding image is loaded dynamically from the specified folder). In other word I want to avoid the tedious work of typing.
Can any one help with this issue. Any other simple suggestions are welcome.

All you need to do is simple concatenation to obtain the path for the image file. You didn't mention whether you are using VB.Net, C# or some other language to do your coding.
If the code in your database is SM-R-2035, the file name is SM-R-2035.jpg and the path to the images foilder is Images\Products\SM-R-2035.jpg, Conceptually here is what you need to do:
dim code_var
dim path_var
code_var = the code you obtain from your relevant field in the database
path_var = "Images\Products\" & code_var & ".jpg"
Now path_var is what you would call to obtain the image from your images folder.

Displaying images in report builder

aoa to all!
Dear gurus, i want to develop such type of report in report builder 6i.
empno employee name emp photo
1 abc (here i want to show photo)
i have build such report but the problem is when any employee who has no photo, i want to display default photo. i m displaying photo using the below steps
1. create a formula column of type char which returns the path of emp photo like this ' return 'd:\photo\' || :empno || '.gif';
2.create a field in layout and set the read from file property set to yes and format to image.
my requirement is when a new employee record is entered into table emp but his photo is not currently in the directory then i want to display a logo.
hope my question is clear. thanks in advance. plz reply a.s.a.p

Asim
in your select statement you can check if the employee has not its picture or picture field is null then return logo. for this you have to assign some default value to the field Like 'N' is default value for picture field so when there is not picture or field is null then 'N' will be its default value and you can check in your query like
SELECT DECODE(pict, 'N',Logo,pict) FROM emp

Displaying image in report

I'm new to CF Report Builder and having trouble determining
how to get a dynamic image to display in the detail band. The query
for the report correctly returns the image file name, but the
following expression doesn't display the image although the path is
correct.
IIf(query.image NEQ "", DE("../images/smProds/" &
query.image), DE("None"))
When I run the report, I get just .. in the space where the
image should display if one is available and the text "None" if the
field is empty. I found a tutorial on Report Builder that suggested
using similar code, but it didn't provide an actual example. Using
their code produced the same lack of results.
I've tried various versions of this with no success yet. Am I
missing something about how to include an image in the report? A
static image in the report uses the same basic path information. Of
course that image name and path aren't being generated from an
expression, it is just an inserted image and it shows up in the
header and footer bands as expected.
Thanks for any guidance.

Thanks for the response. Sadly yes, the path is correct. I've
tried both the relative path and the full path (e.g.
../images/theimage.jpg and
http://mysite.com/images/theimage.jpg)
. Putting either address into a browser will return the correct
image if I'm in the right location.
So, I can get this expression: IIf(query.image NEQ "",
DE("../images/smProds/" & query.image), DE("None")) to display
the correct path, but what I really need is the image located at
that spot to display in the report. What is happening is that
report builder is returning the string, but not the image. When I
looked at the tutorial it implied that the image would be displayed
rather than the string.
Is there something in report builder that determines whether
the actual image is displayed? A property setting that I'm missing?
Or maybe the expression iteself is wrong i.e. it is doing exactly
what it should (display the string) and a different expression
format is required to get the image iteself. For example, flagging
some text as a hyperlink to the image? Not sure how you would pass
the image name value in that case.
Appreciate your suggestions.

Adding Image in Reports 10g

I have added one image in existing Report to customize it.While seeing the utput in Applications it does not display the image.The format for the image is .jpg.We are using Applications R12,Reports 10g.How to get it.

Hi ,
Firstly sorry for asking in the same thread . .
I am also working in the same envronment.
my destination type is PDF and its a bitmap report.
so my senario is something like this.
I need to print the signature of the agent based on the agent id on all pages of the report.
and each page it has to check the agent id and print the same .. we can issue the report to generate the o/p for multiple orders/so multiple agents. . . so
1st page -> jack -> so his singature . ..
2nd page -> Jack . . same order continues -> same signatuer repeats.
3rd page -> scott -> so another signature . .
issues:
we have to print this in the footer of the page . . so we used the edit margin section for the same.
we are actually picking up the agent id for that page using a summary column and function set to last and reset at page level.
( both the summary column and the formula colum are not in any group in the data model)
we created a formula column for picking the image file properties below
type: character
read from file: yes
file_type: image
it actually works but the problem is the image starts from the second page onwards. and for 3 pages it prints . . .
1st page -> blank - Jack's signature is req.
2nd page - > jack's signature appears . .
3rd page -> jack's signature -> should be scott's signature
in case the fourth page for scott or any other person is ther e
scott's signature appears . . .
please guide me . . .
thanks and regards
Jagan.

Displaying image in report DESFORMAT ='SPREADSHEET' (Excel)

Display images in report

Hi,
we have stored students images in a directory i.e 'D:\pics'. now I want to display the images of student on a reports dynamically, the name of image files are same as student id.
I do not want to store them in data base tables.
Any soltuion??

If the report gives an error and doesn't run if the image doesn't exists in the image folder,
use the exception handling to verify that if the image doesn't be in the image folder then display the default image.
For example, if your query looks like this:
SELECT deptno deptno,
       dname dname,
       'DEPT' || deptno || '.jpg' dept_image
FROM dept
ORDER BY deptnoand DEPT_IMAGE (pseudo)column has properties "Read from file = Yes" and "File Format = Image",
remove these properties from DEPT_IMAGE and create (in DEPT group)
CF_DEPT_IMAGE formula column ("Read from file = Yes" and "File Format = Image"):
FUNCTION cf_dept_imageFormula RETURN CHAR IS
l_filename text_io.file_type;
BEGIN
l_filename := text_io.fopen ('.\images_directory\' || :dept_image, 'r');
text_io.fclose (l_filename);
RETURN :dept_image;
EXCEPTION
-- the report photo doesn't exist
WHEN OTHERS THEN
BEGIN
    l_filename := text_io.fopen ('.\images_directory\default_image.jpg', 'r');
    text_io.fclose (l_filename);
    RETURN 'default_image.jpg';
EXCEPTION
    -- the report photo 'default_image.jpg' doesn't exist
    WHEN OTHERS THEN RETURN NULL;
END;
END;In Layout Model, source for F_DEPT_IMAGE field is CF_DEPT_IMAGE (not DEPT_IMAGE).
