Displaying UMLAUT characters in WEBI report - Need Confirmation in Settings

Hi,
I am using BOXI-R2 in Windows machine. I have done the below settings in BO configuration files.
My WEBI report shows no data to display when there are UMLAUT German characters (for example) in the data. Japanese and English characters are displayed in the report properly.
Settings:
1. Arial Unicode Font installed.
2. fontalias.xml - Default section font is Arial Unicode
3. i18n.xml - Arial Unicode MS entry available
4. defaultconfig.xml - <CUSTOM_GUI_FONTS VALUE="Arial Unicode MS"/>
5. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE - NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. AL32UTF8
6. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/ORACLE/HOME0 - NLS_LANG = AMERICAN_AMERICA. AL32UTF8
7. cs.cfg - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameters>.
8. oracle.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter>
9. sybase.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter>
10. odbc.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">UTF8</Parameter> in default section
My WEBI report is using generic odbc connectivity to sybase. After some changes to the above settings report displays UMLAUTS properly with the below change.
odbc.sbo - <Parameter Name="Unicode">CharSet</Parameter> in generic odbc section
Please let me know whether this is the correct change to be done for this issue. Also what is the reason UMLAUTS are not getting displayed when i use UTF8.

Hi Ven,
You have created a report level prompt like
Transaction Date Between "Enter Tran Date(Start):" and "Enter Tran Date(End):"
1.Drag two blank cell on report.
2.click on one blank cell and on formula editor type following formula.
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(Start):" )
This will show you start date in the cell.
3.Similarly in another cell type the following formula
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(End):" )
This will show you End Date in respective cell.
Do revert in case of any queries.
Thanks,

How to display duplicate key in web report?

Hi Experts,
Can anybody tell me how to display duplicate key in web report?
I know in the Bex analyzer, we can allow the duplicate key to be dispalyed via the 'query property' by right click, and in the 'display option' tab, there is an option which named 'forbid duplicate key', if we don't select this option, the duplicate key will be dispalyed in the report result in BEx analyzer.
But how can I do this in Web report? Thanks in advance.

Strange characters in WEBI report

Hi,
When I run a WEBI report, i see strange characters in the cells. Pls refer to attached screen shot. The output is sometimes displaying correctly and sometimes not.
I run the query generated by WEBI at the backend, I get the correct results.
I tried to create a separate report with some of the columns. Even then I get these strange characters.
Please let me know if you have anything solution on this.
I use
BOXI R3.1 SP5
Cheers
Shreyas

Hi Shreyas,
I was interested to see the database output so that I can see what values are coming to report.
Does the report contain some accentuated characters like Ö,É,ć etc. or some other characters.
As the issue is not coming with Deski and WRC then it could be an issue with the application server.
Which application do you use? IIS or Tomcat or some other server?
Sometimes, the application servers do not support UTF-8 encoding. In case of Tomcat, you can check the server.xml file. You can check knowledge base article on SAP portal.
Also check if the desired font is added in fontalias.xml.

still I cannot see the variable values in the report.
Thanks for your help.

if only_values = 'X' you will just get the value other wise
you will get something like below.

Question if Webi reports need to be re-pointed to Universes

We are running XIR2 SP2 using a SQL 2005 database. Our Universes are connected using an ODBC connection. We have moved the database to a new SQL instance and have created a new OLE DB connection in designer. I am in the process of changing the Universe's connection in Universe Parameters, from the ODBC connection to use the OLE DB connection. This is the only change to the Universes'. Are there any reasons why the webi reports using these Universes need to re-pointed to the Universe in Query Properties?

Hi Michael,
If you have made any change in the universe connection and reexported back to the repository then you need not to repoint the report(preexisting one to the universe).
You have to just refresh the report to observe the change.
You can test this using this workflow;
Create a test universe with sql server 2000 ODBC connection , now using this create a webi report and in that use a function name connection().
It will show you the details of connection in the report.
Now go to universe and change the connection from ODBC to oledb.
Reexport the universe.
Open the report and refresh it , the data in connection() function will show oledb details which were earlier showing ODBC details.
So we dont have to repoint the reports to the universe.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Gaurav

Cannot display BIG5 characters for web applications deployed to 9iAS

I have just installed the J2EE and Webcache module of Oracle9iAS Release 2 to
my Windows NT Server 4.0 and deployed a simple web application to it. However,
I found that the JSP cannot display chinese (Big5) characters correctly. My JSP
is something like:
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=BIG5" %>
<HTML><BODY>
<% String s = SOME_BIG5_CHARACTERS; %>
<%= s %>
</BODY></HTML>
On the other hand, I tried to re-direct the standard output to a log file and
do the following in my servlet.
System.out.println(SOME_BIG5_CHARACTERS);
Now, the Big5 characters CAN be displayed correctly in the log file. So, I am
confused with where the problem is.
Here are my settings to my 9iAS:
1) Using regedit, I have set the NLS_LANG variable of the corresponding
ORACLE_HOME to TRADITIONAL CHINESE_TAIWAN.ZHT16BIG5
2) In the file %ORACLE_HOME%\Apache\Jserv\conf\jserv.properties, I have
inserted the following line:
wrapper.env=NLS_LANG=TRADITIONAL CHINESE_TAIWAN.ZHT16BIG5
3) In the file %ORACLE_HOME%\Apache\Apache\conf\httpd.conf, I have added the
following line:
PassEnv NLS_LANG
4) In the file %ORACLE_HOME%\opmn\conf\opmn.xml, I have added the following
line to the corresponding OC4J instance:
<environment>
<prop name="NLS_LANG" value="TRADITIONAL CHINESE_TAIWAN.ZHT16BIG5"/>
</environment>
5) For my application server, I set the java option with -Dfile.encoding=Big5
6) I have replaced the file font.properties with font.properties.zh_TW under
%ORACLE_HOME%\jdk\jre\lib.
7) I have set the following in the file orion-web.xml of my web application:
<orion-web-app
deployment-version="9.0.2.0.0"
default-charset="Big5"
jsp-cache-directory="./persistence"
temporary-directory="./temp"
internationalize-resources="false"
default-mime-type="application/octet-stream"
servlet-webdir="/servlet/">
</orion-web-app>
Anyone have idea on fixing my problem? Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kae

I met a similar problem before but not exactly your case. When I compile the JSP by Jdeveloper, it will convert the chinese characters to strange characters. It makes me crazy to handle the chinese characters ...
Anyway, by my experience, you better isolate the chinese characters from your JSP or Java programs. Instead, put all language dependent text in a properties file and then use native2ascii to covert your properties file into Unicode. Of course, u need to change your page charset to UTF-8.
U can get more idea from the following site.

Unknown characters in Webi Report

Hi,
We integrated BO with our product.
Configuration: Server: Win 2003 Std
Client: Win XP SP3
Browser: Firefox 3.6.3
I logged in to BO InfoView and set Portuguese language as Product Locale. I generated a new webi but "Report Title" in the report is having some unknown characters in Portuguese language. I think the unicode characters did not map with correct characters in Portuguese. What could be the reason for this ? How can I eliminate these characters ?
Thanks in Advance,
Vasu

Please keep in mind that FIrefox 3.6 is not yet supported. It would be better if you can switch to a supported browser version.
Look at the supported platofroms documentation

How to Display INR format in WEBI 4.X reports

Hello All,
I have a requirement to display the amount in WEBI report as INR format i.e 1,00,00,000.00.
I tried to create a custom number format at report level as #,##,##,###.## , but is it not working.
I tried custom display format at universe level as well (#,##,##,###.##) , but it is also not working.
By default it is showing US format as 12,407,364.22.
Please let me know do we have any work around for the same.

Hello Tanb,
Thanks for your help.
Now in other places also Tamil is Displaying. For example we have a object Fiscal Month which holds values Jan-2014,Jul-2014 etc... In this case also Jan and Jul are displaying in Tamil.
Instead of Tamil ( India) can we use English ( India) to resolve this issue ?
I am using " use the document Locale to format the data" . Is this option correct?

Hi, am trying to display chinese characters

hi,..i have problem displaying chinese characters using the reporting tools. i even changed the .jsp to use UTF8 encoding but the jsp doesnt display the correct chinese characters. Anyone can help ?

Hi Teo Kai Liang,
In order to display UTF-8 characters in the web output of your report, when it is deployed using the JSP engine (instead of rwservlet), you would need to add the following tag to its JSP web source in Reports Builder, between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
This will tell the browser to display text using the specified character set. I have verified this using a report containing some static Simplified Chinese text in its web source.
Thanks,
The Oracle Reports Team.

Showing filter values in a web report

hello experts,
I have a web report with 3 web item tables, each one has a query assigned. I'm using 0CALMONTH as a filter but the value for this is not displayed when running the web report. Is there a way to display the value for this filter together with the results? Can I use the web item filter?
Many thanks.
Inma

Hi.
The Web Item Filter only works for filters that are selected manually by the user.
The easiest way would be to provide a variable for entry of 0CALMONTH. This variable can then be shown with the WebItem Text Element.
