Dynamic DESNAME in conversion from 6i to 10g

In 6i, a report could be kicked off by RWCLI60 and the DESNAME assigned dynamically by the report. According to "A Guide to Changed Functionality Between Oracle Reports 6i and 10g," RWCLI60 is replaced by RWCLIENT; however, with RWCLIENT, the desname assigned by the report is not picked up. Do I need to use RWCLI?
Thanks,
Dave

Looks like this a known problem in 9.0.4 per MetaLink note 280717.1 - Dynamic Destination Using AfterPform Trigger Not Working In 9i. There is no indication of a better workaround in 10g Rel. 2.

Reports upgradation from 6i to 10g

Hi!
We are upgrading all our reports and forms from 6i to 10g.
I am facing the following problem.
In our 6i report, we were scheduling a report from the report server (frequency every hour).
Here the output pdf file we are storing in a folder on the server.
We are assigning the full pathname and file name to the Desname in the After Parameter form Report trigger.
Desname := directory path||filename.pdf
This command works in 6i. The output pdf file is generated in the respective folder. But however this command is not working in the 10g server.
If we dont assign the path and file name to the Desname parameter then the o/p file is generated. It is going to the default location.
Can anybody help me in solving this problem? Is there any other method to achieve the same result?

Is there anybody who can help me on this? I need help urgently in this matter.

Urgent: Calling Reports from Oracle Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2) fails

Problem displaying a report from within Oracle 10g forms.
After a lot of work, we are able to access and actually display a report directly from Internet explorer and view the report from the report server as well.
The successful url was:
http://york.vrc.virginia.gov:7778/reports/rwservlet
?report=/u01/app/oracle/produ ct/vrcmidtier/reports/vrc/pmw41051.rdf
&userid=vrcpr/vrcpr@vrctest&destype=cache&desformat=HTML
The form displays correctly back to the screen
When executing from within the form, however, the report runs but does not display back to the screen.
Forms Steps so far:
created a report object called pmw41050
static parameters are:
file name: /u01/app/oracle/product/vrcmidtier/reports/vrc/pmw41051.rdfination format
execution mode: batch
communication mode: synchronous
destination name; null
destination format: HTML
reportserver:: vrc_york_midtier
Built a when button pressed trigger as follows:
declare
l_report_file varchar2(200);
l_report_id REPORT_OBJECT;
l_report_status varchar2(200);
begin
-- capture the report
l_report_file := 'pmw41051';
l_report_id := find_report_object(l_report_file);
-- set the parameters for this output
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, CACHE);
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'PDF');
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_SERVER, 'rep_york_vrcmidtier');
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_OTHER, 'PARAMFORM=NO');
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_DESNAME, 'DESNAME');
-- and run the report
l_report_status := run_report_object(l_report_id);
-- monitor progress
while l_report_status in ('RUNNING', 'OPENING_REPORT', 'ENQUEUED') loop
l_report_status := report_object_status(l_report_status);
end loop;
message('back from the report'); -- test message for return
end;
The report executes without error (as indicated by the message on the last line) but does NOT display back to the screen
checking the rwservlet/showjobs verifies the report completed and the reportcan be displayed from there.
So, bottom line: how to make a 10g form call report and display it on the screen?

Thanks MIke for your feedback...
Will this surfice?

Issue in oracle upgrade from 9i to 10g.

Hi,
I have an MS access application running on oracle database.Recently database is upgraded from 9i to 10g.
After upgrade application is facing the conversion problem.it is throwing an error on varchar and time stamp field showing invalid timestamp message.NLS setting of both the version is same.Please suggest.

Thank you,
Here are the answers of your queries.
Yes,This is affecting only MS access application because no other application is accessing this database.
No,No other component of the application is changed or upgraded it is only database which is upgraded.
The error is ORA-06502:PL/SQL:numeric or value error:Character to number conversion error.(In the application the value of this field is defind as Double and in database table it is VarChar and the system was working fine untill database upgrade after upgrade it is giving above error.)
For another field it is giving the error "No valid timestamp" although the same was working fine before upgrade.
No I have not traced the actual sessions but from the backup of 9i I have checked NLS setting and compared it with 10g and found that both are the same.
Hope I have not confused you.

Hebrew Characters...Chars display as junk after import from 8i to 10g

Gurus,
I have a problem with a customer upgrade...
Background of the issue... the customer is an Agile PLM customer of version 8.5 (Agile PLM version 8.5). The database was hosted on oracle 8i. He is intending to upgrade from Agile 8.5 to Agile 9.2.2.4. During this process he has upgraded he db from Agile 8.5 to Agile 9.2.2.4, and has also shifted the DB platform from 8i to 10g.
Problem: There were hebrew characters entered in Varchar2 columns (Oracle 8i), which after upgrade are not displaying correctly. Newly entered hebrew characters after upgrade display correctly in UI...
Customer DB Parameters : The nls parameters on the source db before upgrade(8i) are American_America.WE8ISO8859P1, and the destination db parameters are American_America.UTF8.
What i have done to deal with the issue: i have tried exporting the db using UTF8 and importing the db to 10g on UTF8, but still the characters show as garble characters..., have tried various options of exporting/importing using the combinations of WE8ISO8859P1 char set as well as IW8ISO8859P8 charsets, as i have learnt during my research abt the charsets that Hebrew Characters are supported in IW8ISO8859P8 charset and not WE8ISO8859P1. My suspicion here is that the problem is with the export and import from 8i to 10g, and the Char conversion which is happening during this process..(this is my guess and i might be wrong tooo...)
Currently this is a hot issue with the customer, and needs an immediate fix (to display the Hebrew characters properly after upgrade)
I am a layman on the NLS Settings and couldnt figure out what else to do....I would request all the Gurus out there to help us figure out the problem and try resolve it...
Thanks for your Help in Advance
Regards,
Raja.

Hebrew characters aren't supported using the ISO 8859-1 character set. In the original system, what must be happening is that the NLS_LANG on the client matches the database character set, which tells the Oracle client not to do character set conversion. This causes Oracle to treat character data just as a binary data stream and to store whatever bits the client sends. So long as the client is really sending ISO 8859-8 data, telling Oracle it is ISO 8859-1, and on the return side asking Oracle for ISO 8859-1 and treating it internally as ISO 8859-8 while Oracle is doing no character set conversions, this will appear to work. But the data in the database is fundamentally wrong. You can configure things so that you can, apparently, store Chinese data in a US7ASCII database using this sort of approach, but you end up with screwed up data.
This sort of problem usually comes to light when you start using tools (like export) that don't know how to mis-identify the data they are sending and retrieving like your application is doing or when character set conversion is necessary. Since the data in the database isn't valid ISO 8859-1, Oracle has no idea how to translate it to UTF8 properly.
As previously suggested, the safest option is to move the data with a solution that replicates the behavior of the application. So
- Set the client NLS_LANG to match the database character set (WE8ISO8859P1)
- Extract the data to a flat file using SQL*Plus or a C/C++ application
- This data file will, presumably, really be ISO 8859-8 encoded
- Use SQL*Loader to load the data into the UTF8 database, specifying the actual character set (ISO 8859-8) in the control file.
If you're rather more adventurous and working with Oracle Support, it is potentially possible to change the character set of the source database from ISO 8859-1 to ISO 8859-8 and then export and import will work properly. But this would require some undocumented options that shouldn't be used without Oracle Support being involved and introduces a number of risks that the flat file option avoids.

Invalid synonyms in PUBLIC after upgrade from 9i to 10g

We just did a conversion from Oracle 9i to 10g on our databases, and now I'm getting a warning in the enterprise manager database control that I have 1753 invalid objects in the PUBLIC schema. I drilled down and it looks like its all SYNONYMS. Not sure quite how to resolve it.. I looked via Toad and I dont see anything invalid..
For our upgrade we did an EXP, removed the databases and uninstalled Oracle 9i then installed Oracle 10g, recreated the blank database and imported the database in. We're using Oracle 10.1.0.5 on Windows Server 2005
can anyone help with this?
Thanks

So you decided to go for the export/import, then the synonyms you found should't have to do with SYS or SYSTEM since you were supposed to load only the specific production schema objects.
Besides running the utlrp script as previously posted, I suggest you to issue this query to find out whose the owner of the invalid objects:
select owner, object_type, count(*)
from dba_objects
where status != 'VALID'
group by owner, object_type
/And if possible post the command used to perform the import process.

Characterset conversion from US7ASCII to WE8ISO5589P1

Hi,
I need to do a Character set conversion from US7ASCII to WE8ISO5589P1 on a 10g database. I need to make the proper analysis before doing this conversion. Kindly let me know of any links/urls/metalink note ids where i can find relevant docmentation and understand on this so that i can continue with the conversion.
Regards,
Amby.

Start here:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/globalization/pdf/TWP_Character_Set_Migration_Best_Practices_10gR2.pdf
Also, consider migrating to WE8MSWIN1252 in place of WE8ISO8859P1. If you have Windows clients, then WE8MSWIN1252 should be used anyway. Even if you do not have Windows clients, WE8MSWIN1252 is a binary superset of WE8ISO8859P1 and can hold all WE8ISO8859P1 codes + ca. 15 characters more. It is better to use it in case Windows clients are used in future.

Audio Recording - Conversion from .caf files to mp3 / flv

Hi,
Does anybody has done any dynamic audio conversion from .caf files to mp3 or flv format? Basically we have an Iphone app that is recording audio and it saves the data in a SQL Server Database but we want to share this audio in a website. The website need to be able to play the audio in Flash. Does this make sense? I've seen some libraries out there but the Services and Environment are running on Windows so the conversion may be need to be on that environment.
Thanks,

The .cda files you see on the CD are a red herring. Bet you any money you're using Windows. :-)
Besides that, this question has absolutely nothing to do with Collections.

Calling BO XI Release 2 from Oracle Forms 10g

Post Author: alexre
CA Forum: Integrated Solutions
Hello everybody,
We are going to migrate the Oracle Database and the Oracle forms application to 10g to one of our clients but he wants continue using the BO so he is going to migrate BO v 4.1.6 to XI Release 2.
Because I am not a BO specialist I would like to know
Is it possible to publish the BO report on the WEB?
Can I call the report directly from Oracle Forms 10g (WEB) and pass the parameters?
Can you advice any documents related to this topic?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Alex

Alex,
Your first question leads to a "it depends" answer. If you want to publish static content, then the report can be ran and saved as PDF, then that PDF can be made available as a link in another web server. If you want to publish dynamic content, then "no", but read on because you'll see in answer to #2 and #3 it becomes "yes".
Your second question about calling the report directly from Oracle Forms and pass the parameters is a resounding yes! However, you will need to have an enduring knowledge of a concept called "opendocument" within the Business Intelligence tool as well as an authentication strategy to make it all work.
Here is the answer to your third question, please following this link: http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/be_xi_r2_opendocument.pdf.asp
Good luck!

Pass the file id or a parameter from a report (10g) to the distribution.xml

Is there any way to pass the file id or a parameter from a report (10g) to the distribution.xml file?

Hi,
Please review article ID 273960.1 on metalink.
The article actually describes an issue one may run into while enabling a reports distribution xml file to accept dynamic values, but you can extract the answer you're looking for by studying the above mentioned note.
Best Regards and Good Luck,

Getting ÿþ as saved conversations from Lync in Outlook in Office 2013

Hi,
I've been trying to get to the bottom of this and have found similar posts, but no one seems to have an answer.
When I IM someone using Lync 2013, they get a pop up notification but instead of the message they see ÿþ<. Once they open the chat window, they can see my typed text. Occasionally, certain people can't see the first line of my chat, but as
long as they keep the chat window open, they can see everything new I type.
All my conversations that are saved in outlook show ÿþ< for the text and are unreadable. I've disabled the saving of conversations because they have become worthless.
I believe it has to do with BOM but have not been able to find a way to fix this.
If I copy a conversation from the chat window and paste it into Microsoft Word it shows ÿþ<, but if I paste it into notepad the conversation appears.
(I had inserted a screenshot here, but am unable to because I am unable to figure out how to get my account "verified")
I've tried changing the preferred encoding for outgoing messages: to Unicode (UTF-8) in Outlook, but this had no effect and I can't find a similar option in Lync 2013.
(I had inserted a screenshot here, but am unable to because I am unable to figure out how to get my account "verified")
I enabled logging for Lync and the event IDs that come up are 1, 11 and 12, to which I cannot find any information for at the moment.
Any help and or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,
Did the issue happen only for you or for multiple users?
Please try to delete Lync User Profile and information on Registry, then repair Office 2013.
The path of Lync User Profile: %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync
The path for information on Registry: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
Then test the issue again.

Hi All,
I need some information regarding conversion from 11.03 to R12 along with Capital Project's conversion, do we need to take care Asset Assignment and Assets information at the time of Project Conversion. Iam doing Project and Task conversion different. Is there any good mapping document or Conversion FD, if any body have please send my mail ID. [email protected]
Thanks for your help.
Thanks,
Srini..

Usually only Open Invoices and Unapplied Receipts are migrated from Old system to New Instance.
Post Migration Reconciliation shall be tough in that scenario. Reconsider/Rediscuss with Client.
Migration can be done using APIs or Custom Scripts using Standard Interfaces.
Hope this is helpful

Oracle report from 6i to 10g

hi all,
We try to move oracle report from 6i to 10g. however we found that the report's record ordering is different.
The case is that, the record in report is ordered according to the attribute "break order".
There is no "order by" in sql".
It runs without problems in 6i, but in 10g , the ordering of the record has no ordering.
Please help to solve the problems or give some advice. Thanks.

Break order property only works for ordering in break groups. For other groups (like the lowest level group) you have to use order by in your SQL.
That was also the case in 6i, so you may just have been lucky that it worked at all.
This is from the Help:
The Break Order property is the order in which to display the column's values. This property applies only to columns that identify distinct values of user-created groups (i.e., break groups ). The order of column values in a default group is determined by the ORDER BY clause of the query for SQL queries
