Display report on the web in pdf format

I am attempting to display a report in pdf format where I have passed parameters to it and it doesn't work.
We are using Oracle Reports 6i.
If I use the following CGIcmd line
a: server=reports destype=cache desformat=HTML userid=test/test@db paramform=no %*
and the URL
http://sun9ias:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?a+report=INVOICE+p_mainkey=1111+p_subkey=1111.tif.
This report is displayed in HTML format.
For the following test I only changed the format from HTML to pdf.
The CGIcmd line became
b: server=reports destype=cache desformat=pdf userid=test/test@db paramform=no %*
and the URL
http://sun9ias:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?b+report=INVOICE+p_mainkey=1111+p_subkey=1111.tif.
In this instance there is no report but there is a 'broken image' icon displayed in the top left hand corner of the screen. There are no error messages.
This is the preferred method.
As a test I also tried allowing the parameterer form with both HTML and pdf reports.
The CGIcmd line was set to
ax: server=reports destype=cache desformat=HTML userid=test/test@db %* %P
and the URL
http://sun9ias:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?ax+report=INVOICE+p_mainkey=1111+p_subkey=1111.tif.
This displayed the parameter page and when you accept the parameters, the correct report is displayed in HTML format.
When I use the following CGIcmd line
bx: server=reports destype=cache desformat=pdf userid=test/test@db %* %P
and the URL
http://sun9ias:7777/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?ax+report=INVOICE+p_mainkey=1111+p_subkey=1111.tif.
As before, this displays the parameter page and when you accept the parameters, the correct report is displayed in pdf format.
The only problem is where we are attempting to use the URL to go directly to the report in pdf format.
Thanking you in advance of any help

Hello ,
You can try out the following
1. Click on the Report name and bring up the property palette to show all of the properties for the whole report.
2. Under Report Escapes->Before Form Value, change form method from POST to GET .

Using Reports6i to Publish Reports On The Web As PDF Format - Arabic Data

Hi everybody.
I am using Reports6i to create some reports and publish them on the web as PDF format for security reason. The problem is that the opened document displays Arabic letters in encrypted way, I tried to use Acrobat Reader version 5 but it is still not working. Then I try to publish reports as HTML document, In this way, the arabic letters look fine but any vertical lines I designed in the reports did not show up, furthermore, the user can edit HTML document, change the data, then print the report, so using HTML as an output is not secure.
Any suggestions?

How to send the output to PDF format in reports 6i?

Hi,
How to send the output to PDF format in reports 6i? I given Mode = BITMAP.
DESTYPE = File, DESFORMAT = PDF, DESNAME = C:\x.pdf.
Report is running fine. But PDF file not generated. I don't know what i missed. Any one can help this?
Thanks
Kavitha

Hello,
Do you get this problem only for DESFORMAT=PDF ?
Test with :
DESFORMAT = RTF, DESNAME = C:\x.rtf
or
DESFORMAT = HTMLCSS, DESNAME = C:\x.html
does it work ?
Check if DESNAME is modified in the reports itself.

D2000 Reports for the web PDF and FDF

Has Oracle considered tighter integration of Adobe FDF (Forms
Data Format) and Oracle Reports for the web?

Hi
I think Portal applications are much more simple to build and lighter than developer apps, but Portal fits better to "simple" apps, without many business rules, complex validation/navigation etc. If the app you need to build has such characteristics, maybe you must use developer.

Hello,
I am thinking of creating an extranet and was going to use Portal - but coming from a forms/reports background I am thinking of looking at 9i forms/reports. Are they still thick clients as when I played around with web-deployed forms before they seemed pretty slow. Would I be better off writing it in Portal ?

Message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted

I have an email sent to my company exchange 2003 account with pdf attachments. When I open the email on my Ipad, I can view the the pdf files but when I move to another email message and then go back to the email message with the pdf files the following message appears:
"Message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted, Ask the sender to send it again using a differnet format or email program. text/plain."
When I moved the email message to another folder and can view the attached pdf files. However when I read another email message and go back to the email with the pdf files and the error message again.
I have no problems with the pdf files on my outlook PC client. Any suggestion to resolve this issue would be helpful.

I too get this irritating problem, or one very like it on both my iPad and iPod Touch. I have several mail accounts on different services, the main being BT. Incoming messages that I want to keep I move to the Sent folder (for want of anywhere better). The content of some messages is then replaced by the "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted etc" text, some but by no means all. If I move the message back to the Inbox the text miraculously reappears. This is not because it is being reloaded from the server as the text reappears even if the message has been deleted on the server.
Any thoughts on this peculiar behaviour?
Thanks.

getting the message in the page, the page can't be displayed,
          How to solve this problem & how do i have to show the standard business content reports to all FI Superiors ?
awaiting for ur answers
Regards,
Balaji

Balaji,
first check if you have enabled web reporting on your BW server ( there is a how to paper for the same )
another way to check out the same is to find out if there are existing web templates being published which would make the server web ready.
As for FI content - activate the FI relevant areas in Business content and then activate the respective datasources and then load the data.. or go trough the best practices for BW-FI ( service.sap.com/bestpractices) wnd then activate the best practices for the same.
Hope it helps.

Printing Report on the Web

Hi all,
I have a question about printing the report on the web.
I would like to directly print the report once I press the button in the web form. The method I am now using is just hard-code the URL of the report link to the button.
However, I want to print the report directly to the printer once I press the button, but I am not successful.
I have already set the following:
destype=printer
destname=HP4050
My printer is on the network where the port is specified by the HP is NPIAB7C2B. Is it related to the link that I need to included?
Thx first~
Patrick.

Hi
Was a solution found for this?
I also want to print a report straight to the users default printer without them having to open Adobe on the web and then selecting File > Print?
The forms version is Forms 10g and running on the report on the report server.
I can thus transfer the report from the report server to the local pc of the user, but I still don’t have a way of printing the PDF file once it is there.
I know about the adobe command line below, but that assumes you know the users verion of Adome and the location of where it is installed.
AcroRd32.exe "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /p "c:\temp\test.pdf"
Id there a way to get arounf this?
Thanks

Reports Server/running reports on the web.

I am trying to configure my web server to run reports on the web. I have followed the instructions provided by Oracle, but some is not clear. When i try to run report on the browser, i get the following error:
CGI Error
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:
Oracle documentaion say the following about the steps to configure the web server:
1-Start your Web server by entering the following:
2-Start your browser.
3-Create a listener.
4-Configure your Web server mapping and note the physical and virtual directories. For example:
I have done all the steps above except creating a listener. The documentation doesnt explain that step at all.
I have created a cgi-bin directory and made it excetable and copied the rwcgi60.exe from reports server machine to the web server machine. I also copied the TNSNAMES entry for the web server from the reports server machine to the web server machine.
Here is the command i use(just trying to make sure that web CGI is responding, but it doesnt work)
http://web_server/scm/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe
Other question: On the server machine, i have 3 oracle directories: ORA81, ISUITES, 806, which one should be the home directory for the reports to work on the web??
I am using oracle 8.1.7 with 9iAS release 1.
Thanks

How to deploy existing forms and reports on the web

Hi Guys,
I have 6i forms and reports within our environment, and we are running client/server architecture, by installing forms and reports runtime on each client PC's. We would like to get rid of this by deploying forms and reports on the web, without zero coding. Can any one suggest and guide me through the process with proper security mechanism enabled along with.
Thanks in advance,
Aji

Thanks for the update,
We have a develpment 10g AS environment setup made,
1) But we are really confused how to present the forms and reports.
We have around 250 forms and reports running on client/server architecture. All these forms/reports have been copied to a fileshare and access control is restricted by folder security.
2) How to deploy forms - entries within formsweb.cfg with Named Configuration sections.
3) How to deploy reports, as to were to copy the .rep files.
getting the following error
REP-110: Unable to open file 'Car_Readings.rep'.

BO slow when accessing reports through the web but not with a installed client.

Hi
We have installed BO 4.0 SP08 in a virtual machine with 32 RAM and 8 CPU processors. We have divided the APS in a number of instance with different services. We have also 8 Web Intelligence Processing servers.
The application is slow when trying to create or view a report from the web browser (ie or chrome). If we use the installed Web Rich Client on a machine, then it works fine.
Does anyone knows why?
thanks
Teresa

Any ideas??
I don’t know, but whatever it is, it’s preventing you from creating complete sentences.
Run the Apple Hardware Test as described on page 101 of your owner’s manual to see if it detects any problems.
