Emailing PDF Reports from Workspace in 10GR3

Hi all,
There is an option in the workspace of 10GR3 to generate PDF and Excel reports of instances Aborted/Completed/InProcess by filtering them and then hitting the Output Options button to generate a PDF or Excel reports out of these.
But this has be done manually by somebody logging into the workspace, filtering out the data required and then generating PDF or Excel reports out of the data filtered and then saving the report to one's own desktop and then emailing the report to the managers.
Can this be automated?
Can OBPM 10GR3 automatically filter, generate these PDF reports and send them to the Participants which required to be emailed with the PDF reports as attachments?

You could use PAPI inside a method in a Global Automatic to create a list of the aborted, completed and in process instances. You'd want to have this Global Automatic's property set to run as often as you want the email recipients to receive their emails.
There is no OOTB PDF generation capability in Oracle BPM, but the iText Java library works very well for this.
You'd need to:
1. Write a little Java class that accepts a hash table as an incoming parameter and uses the values received to create and populate a PDF. This class calls methods in the iText library (http://www.lowagie.com/iText/) that populate the PDF document with the values it's passed.
2. Jar the class and expose this and the iText "iText-2.1.7.jar" file as an External Resource in Oracle BPM.
3. In a method in Oracle BPM, set the values in a hash table from the values in your BPM Object and call the Java method you wrote using the hash table as an incoming parameter.
Rather than creating a PDF from scratch each time, you can also start with an Adobe AcroForm. You'd use this as a template and fill the form's bookmarked fields in using the fields sent in from the hash table.
Once the PDF has been created, you'd use the Catalog's Fuego.Net.Mail component method to attach the file to the instance (see the "attachments[]" attribute) and send the email.
Hope this helps,
Dan

  • Reading PDF reports from Top to Bottom instead of from left to right in WS

    When viewing a PDF Report in workspace and you choose next page, it goes left to right then down to the next section left to right when you have multiple members in the column. Is there a way to change this so that the view goes top to bottom for the first member then moves right and does the same for the other members. I thought I once saw a setting for this.

    Hi,
    We have also tried to the same requirement.  But we can't. 
    Only one thing we can do is, the end report can be set at the bottom with the property of "Align to bottom".  But the Horizonal, vertical lines and grid not fills from the last item to end of report beginning.
    I think this is most required to view the document perfectly or neatly. 
    Particularly in indian localization this is the must since the customer need to be declared the specific neat format to the legal departments.
    Hope SAP Support should solve the issue.  But I am wondering this question has been posted many times by many people but unfotunately nobody I think get the solution.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Open a PDF report from a PDF report

    I would like to open a PDF report from a PDF report, but in a new IE window.
    I have the following code attached to an item in the report:-
    function F_RECONFormatTrigger return boolean is
    begin
    IF trim(:btch_ref) = 'PL' and trim(:recon) is not null and trim(:recon) <> ' ' then
    srw.set_font_weight(srw.bold_weight);
    srw.set_font_style(srw.underline_style);
    srw.set_text_color('blue');
    srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('onMouseover "window.status="Click here to see what is in your shopping basket"; return true"'||'onMouseout ="window.status=" "; return true"');
    srw.set_hyperlink('/reports/rwservlet?cmdkey=famis+desformat=pdf+report=FAMREP011+p_orderno='||trim(:recon));
    srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('target=_blank');
    -- srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('target="_blank"');
    END IF;
    return (TRUE);
    end;
    All of the commands work except for the 2 srw.set_hyperlink_attrs commands. The "onMouseover" and the "target" seem to have no effect. Can anyone help?
    Thanks in advance
    Michael

    The built in srw.set_hyperlink_attrs does not work , if the report format is PDF. There is no way to open another PDF report from a PDF report in a seperate window. Also think there is no way to hide URL which apperars when the mouse pointer moves over the hyperlink.
    In other report formats like HTML, the built in srw.set_hyperlink_attrs works.

    I’m sorry for the issue that you are hitting now.
    This itextsharp is third party control, for this issue, I recommended to consult the control provider directly, I think they can give more precise troubleshooting.

  • HspRuntimeException while running the report from Workspace

    Hi
    When a user is trying to run a report from Workspace, it prompts teh following error:
    Failed to sync with user provisioning. Check Planning log for detailscom.hyperion.planning.HspRuntimeException
    The report contains 2 grids, 1 pointing to an ASO application, while second pointing to BSO planning application.
    I checked in shared services, the user has the admin access to planning application which is used in the report.
    I tried the following:
    Checked access to planning application for the user
    Restarted the planning application services
    Where in logs will i be able to find details?
    Can anyone suggest some solution?

    Try option 1 then option2:
    Please undertake changes in a test environment. Retest issue and if resolved migrate to other appropriate environments.
    Option 1:
    Verify NETDELAY and NETRETRYCOUNT are at least 1000 & 1500 respectively.
    To set NETDELAY and NETRETRYCOUNT:
    1. Open Essbase.cfg located in Essbase\Bin directory.
    2. Add the following entries
    NETDELAY 1000
    NETRETRYCOUNT 1500
    Restart Essbase agent (windows service)
    Option 2:
    Please backup the registry before making any manual modification.
    1.) Open the Registry
    2.) Navigate to Local Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\Parameters
    3.) Add new DWORD Value named TcpTimedWaitDelay, right click and select Modify. Select decimal radio button, type in 30. (The default value of this parameter is 2 minutes. This is how long it will take for a TCP/IP port that was used by the network for a connection to be released and made available again. 30 sec is the minimum allowed by Microsoft)
    4.) Add new DWORD Value named MaxUserPort, right click and select Modify. Select decimal radio button, type in 65534. ( The default value is 5000.
    This determines the highest port number TCP can assign when an application requests an available user port from the system.
    5.) Add new DWORD Value named MaxFreeTcbs, right click and select Modify.
    Select decimal radio button, type in 6250. (The default value is 2000. This determines the number of TCP control blocks (TCBs) the system creates to support active connections. Because each connection requires a control block, this value determines how many active connections TCP can support simultaneously. If all control blocks are used and more connection requests arrive, TCP can prematurely release connections in the TIME_WAIT state in order to free a control block for a new connection.)
    The above parameters need to be added to the registry on the Planning and Essbase servers. Reboot the servers after the parameters are added.

  • Creating a PDF report from a Form

    Is it possible to create a PDF REPORT from a table based Form?
    Thanks,

    You can NOT use FOP and the BI Publisher RTF editor to make templates for PDF output.. You need an XML style sheet editor to format the report layouts..: http://www.java4less.com/fopdesigner/fodesigner.php

  • Few Users are unable to open reports from workspace

    Hi ,
    Few users are nt able to open reports from workspace. Can anyone let em know what all privalleges we need to give for the users who want to open reports.
    Thanks in Advance

    In general if a user can see a report and cannot open, this should be related with the application security that the reports' grid is connecting.
    If opening request from users are failing with an error, please paste the error here,
    Sometimes reports may be open with blank pages or no data, make sure users have necessary access to data...easy way to check this, connect to application and try to retrieve data from application, Lets say your report grid is connecting to Essbase, try if you can retrieve same grid from essbase excel add-in.
    Good Luck,
    Ahmet

  • Emailing XML reports from EBUS

    Hello.
    I am trying to generate email version of the XML report from e-Business suite via concurrent program. Of course sending the report to email is extremely challenging. I tried to follow the steps in the blogs and is not reaching anywhere.
    Just checking to see if any one was able to successfully email reports from concurrent programs.
    Cheers,
    Thomas

    I was able to use a pl/sql and a generic email program to send out reports generated from BI publisher.
    This may look complicated but is easy if you break it out .
    Requirement:- Sales order summary report need to be send to sales agents as a nightly run.
    The process is simple
    1) create a generic email program that will accept the directory and has the capability to read blob then attach to the email.
    2) create a DIRECTORY in oracle database to point to APPLOUT
    3) create a custom package that will submit the concurrent program that will create the pdf report.note make sure to add the layout before submitting the concurrent program sample
    APPS.FND_REQUEST.ADD_LAYOUT('XBOL','XXCPD_OEXDRCAP','en-US','US','PDF');
    4) Based on your environment the output pdf will be created in the APPLOUT location in the format SHORT_NAME_REQUESTID_1.pdf
    5) call your generic email program to email this pdf.
    This is only an alternative method instead of messing around with java code. What i have seen is if the pl/sql is generic this is a repeatable and transportable process.
    Thank you,
    Tom

  • E-mailing pdf-report from Adobe

    In a Forms application running on a 10g applicationserver (9.0.4.1.0) I am calling a reportserver to create a pdf-report and show it on the screen. I am using web.show_document to achieve this. The report is shown in Adobe Reader in the Browser window (Int Explorer). If I then press the Email button in Adobe a new Outlook message window is opened with the pdf-file already inserted as attachment. This allows me to sent the Report immediately by E-mail.
    I have a two questions regarding the use of the feature.
    I am performing application management on the application for a costomer on a different location. The feature described above works in my development surrondings. The customer can do the same actions as described, with the exception that the report is NOT automatically attached to the new mail-message. I am trying to determine the reason for this.
    The E-mailing feature and linking as attachment seems to work fine when used outside the browser. Also, when opening a pdf-file from the internet and pushing the Email button the file is automatically linked as attachment. These steps work equally for me and the client. However, when starting from a reportserver the attachment is missing for the client, as described above.
    What could be the reason for the difference in behaviour? The only difference that I see is that the costomer uses Adobe 6 (an not able to upgrade) and I am using Adobe 7.
    Another question is regarding the name of the attachment. What determines the name of the attachment the Outlook uses when performing this type of E-mailing?

    Hi,
    you really should ask thsi question on an Adobe forum because this would happen to any PDF files not only those generated by Reports or accessed from Forms.
    Do you know that Oracle Reports, since version 9i, can send PDF attached to emails ?

  • Error connecting to web analysis report from workspace

    Hi,
    There are a number of web analysis reports. There is a link to one in a planning task list. However, when the report is opened an error appears saying
    Required application context analyzer is not available. Please contact your administrator
    The report opens is web analysis. I tried other reports from within workspace by browsing to them from within the folder structure and got the error for all of them.
    Has anyone seen this before?
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    A) restart your services in correct order
    B) be sure that the analyzer.properties (baseurl) is correct and can be reached from the workspace server.
    C) wrong SSL config and certificates produce sometimes suprisingly strange error messages.

  • Can BI Publisher comes with EBize be used to print pdf report from APEX?

    Hi,
    We have EBiz suit (11.5.10) with APEX 3.2. Both are working fine. I want to enable APEX to develop PDF reports. I would like to know whether I can use BI Publisher comes with EBiz to print PDF from APEX.
    If yes where can I get instructions on how to setup APEX with BI Publisher with EBiz.
    TIA
    DineshS

    I'm not aware of the BIP/XMLP Web Services being available in the embedded EBS version (XML Publisher 5.6.3). But you might be able to create your own wrapper to the XMLP APIs in EBS.

  • PDF Reports from Portal

    My goal: PDF report for print-out, launched from Portal, that displays text and image (.jpeg, .gif, .bmp, etc.) data pulled from the database. Currently, users retrieve this data right from the portal via JSP portlets. This works great. We'd like to get a good-looking report containing this data for inclusion in electronic documents and hard copy files and PDF seems a good way to go. Right now, my idea is to create the report from SQL query in Report Builder creading a .rdf file and somehow launch this from the Portal allowing users to pass selection parameters.
    Questions:
    1. What's best way to launch a .rdf report (PDF output) from Portal?
    2. What are the tricks of pulling in and displaying blob data (from Portal30 schema) in a .rdf report with PDF output?
    Thanks!

    Take a look at the Portal - Reports integration documentation. It will tell you how to deploy Oracle Reports on the Portal.
    As far as displaying images, Report Builder Online Help -> search on word image ->selecting image from the database.

  • HT204365 How to email pdf files from iBook in iPad?

    Why I can only see "print" but no "email" button when i open my pdf files in iBooks? As far as i know i should be able to email my pdf files from ibooks right?

    Yes you should be able to email a PDF from iBooks. When you tap the arrow in the upper left the option should appear.
    Maybe some basic troubleshooting steps will help.
    Quit the iBooks app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or .... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    You may want to consider deleting the app and reinstalling. Tap and hold down on the app icon until it jiggles, then tap the X on the icon. Tap the home button to stop the apps from jiggling. Download iBooks again.
