when we generate the report, the report viewer display the report and the Arabic is displayed as expected.
but when we click on File>Generate to File>PDF
the file is created, but the contents of the file are in unknown format, it is neither English nor Arabic.
if we click on File>Generate to File>RTF
then the Arabic is displayed correctly, but it is not what we need. we need to display it in ADOBE ACROBAT or FOXIT READER for example.
How to fix it?
kindly guide us accordingly.
Regards

any help please?

PDF not generated in Report builder 3.0

Here, I m using Oracle Report Builder 3.0 Rel 2.1. I am running a report from FORM through RUN_PRODUCT , problem is that when i generate the PDF file it shows sometime message of formula column error which is i have seen in rdf is correct and some time it creates blank. But in this report Report Builder Parameter Form also exists , i hide this parameter form in FORM thourgh PARAMFORM in ADD_PARAMETER. I think it requires the parameter values that report generated PDF blank or generated an error of formula column. But i run this report through report parameter form and generate PDF correctly.
Please Help me this regards

Hi KanataPablo,
According to your description, it seems that you are using linked server to pass value to oracle. Seeing that the query is worked well in Management Studio, you may have the permission to connect to oracle (In this scenario, make sure the users to run the
query in SSMS and Report Builder are the same user). So this issue can be caused by the user’s permission to connect to report server, the credential of data source and the dynamic query.
We can add the current user as a Login, then click Properties and navigate to User Mappings page, enable ReportServer and ReportServerTempDB options.
We can try to type user name and password, and enable “Use as Windows credentials” as the credential used to connect to data source.
Try with dynamic query:
="Select column1, column2 From tableName where ID IN (" + JOIN(Parameters!param1.value, ",") + ")"
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Oracle Reports Generating Incomplete Report

Is it possible for Oracle Reports to generate incomplete report due to persistent caching problem? For example, in the report there is a summary section and details section. When I run the same report with different parameter, some of them will have the details section missing but others are fine.
Here is the URL for requesting the report:
http://172.16.6.222:7790/cgi-bin/rptsrvCgi?report=int_inv_ver.rdf+desformat=HTMLCSS+destype=cache+cmdfile=cmdfile.par+report_name_in=AReport+db_user_in=WUI+output_in=Cache+jobname=AReport+paramform=no+reprint=0+issue=0+master_inv_code_in=1111+child_inv_codes_in=2222
How do I troubleshoot? Any idea?
Thanks.

Hi,
its quite some time ago that I a looked Oracle Reports, however, I think that the event mechanism is quite complex to achieve
I want it to be done within the scope of a single request.
Which means that if Oracle Reports hangs, the user session follows.
As in, the entire process should be complete through one cycle.
Unfortunately you don't control how long reports run, which means that there is no sense in stopping the page lifecycle for this
I don't want to keep a day end sort of procedure that inserts into the db at the end of the day.
Fair enough, but as far as I remember there is an eventing in Reports that would allow you to have the Oracle Reports Server triggering the upload
So I think, the architecture I would go for is:
- user requests report
- report generates PDF output
- reports uploads to DB
- reports_processing table holds user ID and reports ID plus flag to update when report is done
- If using JSF, you could use af:poll to check frequently for the report to be finished.
This here may help: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html

Report generated from Report Server to Web Brower can't print

We are doing a web-based project using Form & Report 6i.
Reports are called from forms with a parameter PAGESTREAM = YES
It works and reports in web brower(IE 5.5 SP2) are with two frames, with bottom the default Oracle Page Navigation Menu, and top the corresponding page.
However, when we try to print the page out, error occurs...
An error dialog box shown:
A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to debug?
Line : 1188
Error : Invalid procedure call or argument.
We can't print even one page....
Please, anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?
Thank you in advance.
Wilson.

hello,
this sounds like a bug. please contact oracle support services and open an iTAR with them

Empty CreatorDate field in PDF files generated by Report 6i on Windows 7

When generating a PDF file from Reports 6i on Windows 7, the CreatorDate in the PDF file header is empty.
Even worse: its opening parenthesis "(" is not closed. See example here below.
This generates several problems with Adobe Reader 10 like:
- text searching does not work although you can select text and do a copy paste,
- File/Properties does not work (nothing happens when selecting this menu item),
- File/Save As PDF generates the Adobe Reader error "The document could not be saved. There was a problem reading this document (114)."
We do not have this issue with Windows XP.
Any idea?
%PDF-1.1
1 0 obj
<<
/Creator (Developer 2000)
/CreatorDate ( <---- here is the error: missing value and missing ")"
/Author (Oracle Reports)
/Producer (Oracle PDF driver)
/Title (LETTRE_TEST_PDF_REPORT.pdf)
>>

As you probably know, Developer 6i is not supported on Windows 7. Search the Forms and Reports forums for tips like:
Install in XP compatiblity mode.
Run in XP mode with Virtual PC.

Get/Save PDF file generated by Reports.

How can I get the temporary .pdf file stored in the cache by Reports Server when, there is a request for a report?
When the a request to view output as PDF file? Reports server stores the output PDF file in the server cache but generates bogus alphanumeric files. Is there a way I can save it myself so that I can capture that file for future use. or maybe a Reports API?

When it appears in the browser you could use "Save As" to save it locally.

Not possible to open PDF file generated by Report functionality

Hello,
we are facing the problem that reports in PDF format deliverd in SharePoint by Duet Enterprise cannot be opened by Adobe Reader. The error we get is the following:
Adobe Reader could not open "filename.pdf" because it is either not a supported file or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
When trying to open it with Internet Explorer the following error message pops up:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards
Sven

Hi Hi Sven,
Could you please tell me the type of report you were trying execute? Is it ERP or BW? And ALV or non-ALV?
We are supporting PDF report output type only for BW reports and for ERP non-AVL reports. For other types PDF format is not supported.
If you configure PDF for other report types then you will get report output in PDF file in SharePoint server, but you will face above error message while opening the file.

Hi Srikrishna,
Thanks for your effort to reply. I think you are suggesting it for Excel report.
It seems that we can use the below shown VI to add Hyperlinks to a word report,
I initially thought it will only work for HTML reports.

TA21328 Safari will not display or open PDF files. Unable to view imovies

I resently had a new hard drive installed by the Apple store and they installed Snow Lepard which was my provious OS. I did restore all my files using My Passport Studio and everything what fine except for two things. I cannot open PDF files through Safari and I am not able to view any of my imovies.

If you have them, you might want to delete either or both of the below mentioned files from the following location “/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/” and install Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat again. Reader and Acrobat have preference items for whether to use them to manage PDFs in Safari.
AdobePDFViewer.plugin
AdobePDFViewerNPAPI.plugin
Do you have some iMovie project files in iMovie Events and iMovie Projects in your Home folder's Movies folder? Those might be where your "imovies" are. If you did have some, but don't now, then they may be the items you need to restore from a backup. Other than that, I'm not sure what you mean by "imovies", so can you include the steps you take to view "imovies" in a reply, please? Thanks.

GR55 - report generates no data for some of the cost elements

Hi
When executing GR55 for Monthly cost center analysis (target currency), the report generated has values for all the cost elements in the report. However, few cost elements do not show amounts. The amount columns show a ××××.
Please suggest on why the system is not displaying the values only for few cost elements when running GR55 for report group CCPA (Cost center Actual vs Plan).
Thanks
Neetar

Dear Neeta,
Every customized report generated in Report painter will have a base as Form, were you do your customizing to get the report.
So might be in some places the value key figure would have not properly customized.
Check the report in T.Code GRR3 and see the places where you get XXXX.
Hope it clarifies your doubt.
Thanks and regards

Get Report Name for Report Painter

Hi Gurus,
I need in an ABAP program to find dynamically the name of a report generated via Report Painter and associated to a TCODE.
I got the tcode.
How i can find it? I find the cluster number in GRRT but i don't know how to convert it in my report name (or even if i'm on the right way)

Hello Clemens,
as soon as the report is associated to a transaction code, it should be in TSTC
Not necessary
You create a parameter transaction when attaching a tcode to a report painter report which gets stored in TSTCP.
Cheers,
Suhas
