Report server 6i and Report services 10g

what is the extra features in Report Services 10g which are not available in Report server 6i.
why would we use AS report services 10g rather then report server 6i,and our only requirment is to run oracle report on web which can fulfill with the help of reports server 6i.

There is a long list of new features and I cant put all of them here
You can see docs below
For running on Web 9i, 10g moves to Servlet based architecture (though old cgi mode is available for backward compatibility). Reports behaves as a component in IAS and can be monitored and managed through Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM).
More details here

Reports Builder 10g hanging while printing

Hi all,
We have a printing issue with our Reports Builder 10g. When I run a report, select FILE and PRINT and click o.k, Reports Builder hangs where it trys to format page one. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mike

Strange, my ReportBuilder works with File/Print but hangs when printing from the print icon.
ReportBuilder is not a robust product. It hangs and crashes frequently. Little has been done to correct. Except for the auto-save/crash-recovery feature - that is a job saving addition to the product.
That said, lots-o-features get added from one release to the next, but precious little attention seems to be given to improving stability.

ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - query - If statement in Alias ?

I have the following select statement. It has the alias Survivors, Deaths and "All
With the ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - I have the following query statement. I require the alias to change. Can the following be done.
Cases". Is it posible to use :P_LANGUAGE variable to say that -- IF :P_LANGUAGE = FRENCH THEN alias are Survivants for survivors, Décès for Deaths, Tous_les_cas for All Cases. Please advise
SELECT ALL T_NTR_MULTIBAR.CAT, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_LEFTBAR AS Survivors,
T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_MIDDLEBAR AS Deaths, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_RIGHTBAR AS "All Cases"
FROM T_NTR_MULTIBAR
WHERE INSTANCE_NUM = :P_INSTANCENUM
order by ORDERS

It is no problem, you can automatically change the complete query before the report is running, which delivers you different kind of values. But the alias names does not change in the group of the data-model, although two query are running with different alias names at different times. In the data model you see the alias names of the first implemented select statement, which are the column fields in the layout.

Issue is TEXT_IO application API is not working in report builder 10g.

Issue is TEXT_IO application API is not working in report builder 10g.
TEXT_IO application api is working in report builder 6i. (Not working in upgrade from Oracle EBiz 11i to Oracle Ebiz R12)
I saw that details in some forums, client_text_io is available for form builder 10g.
Is any other api available for report builder 10g?
If it is available what steps we need to do?

All the CLIENT_% procedures are part of webutil in Forms. Forms uses the Java applet on the client PC to perform actions on the local PC via webutil. This is not possible for Reports.
You can still use text_io on the server, but you need some other way to copy the files to/from the client PC.
I wonder how you used the functionality in EBS R11. Even R11 uses web reports, so text_io already worked on the server, not the client PC.

Dynamic Order By on Report Builder 10g

Hi,
How can I do a dynamic order by clause using user parameters on Report Builder 10g? I need to set dynamically the column and the direction on the clause.
Thanks.
Bruno Galletti
Brazil.

Hi Bruno / Rainer,
I am implementing the same solution, and after adding the lexical parameter reference in the SQL statement and calling the report from Oracle Forms the report failed with the following error on the report server:
Terminated with error: <br>REP-300: missing expression select wcsr_no , wcsr_date , wcsr_rec_week_zone , wcsr_loc_house_num || ' ' || wcsr_loc_pre_dir || ' ' || wcsr_loc_street_name || ' ' || wcsr_loc_street_type || ' ' || wcsr_loc_post_dir || ' ' || wcsr_loc_unit || ' ' || wcsr_loc_city || ' ' || wcsr ==>
No change has been done to the SQL statement except adding the &p_orderby parameter at the end of the query.
Any suggestions? Are all parameters defined as "bind" parameters on the Repotr Object Navigator.?
Thanks

Report Builder 10g does not start on Windows 7 (stays minimized)

When i run the report builder 10g in my Windows 7 machine, the splash screen appears for some time and then it minimizes to the task bar. Thinking that it has loaded and gone to task bar, if i click the icon on task bar, it shows another splash screen and loads another copy of Report Builder, which also minimizes to same icon.
On right-clicking the icon there is no maximize button. I tried running it as administrator and also fix the compatibility, but nothing worked.
This issue starts only after some days of installing the developer 10g. It worked ok for some days and then it started behaving like this. Seen this twice now, both times on re-installing the developer suite the issue goes away.
Is there any way to solve this other than re-install the Oracle Developer ?

Hello,
Did you check the files cagprefs.oar and cauprefs.ora ?

Calling a Web Service in Oracle Report Developer 10g?

Hello,
Does Oracle Report Developer 10g supports Web Services (calls) or XML files as a Data Source?
If yes. From what version?
Thanks.

ok, so you have at least 2 solutions:
1. you get the data into a loop through your Java array.
2. you use the EXEC_SQL package function to create a dynamic SQL cursor
Select ... from the_table where code in ('c1', ..., 'cn')Francois

Excel Output when Converting 6i Reports to 10g

I am attempting to convert about 25 reports from Oracle Reports 6i to Oracle Reports 10g (10.1.0.4.2). The existing 6i system uses the Oracle Portal for job submission. The report server and our Oracle database are on Sun/Sparc/UNIX computers for both 6i and 10g. We have no space issues. In 10g, users will submit reports from Oracle Forms, running on Windows desktops.
I am an experienced programmer in Windows reports and forms using MS-Access and Visual Basic. I am new to Oracle Reports and Forms.
The existing 6i reports were set up so that a single report can be generated in either PDF or Excel format by just changing the DESFORMAT parameter from PDF to DELIMITED. We also have multiple optional parameters. In 10g, I cannot get the Excel to generate when there are groupings or summaries in the PDF version.
In the 6i version, headers, footers, and summary lines were enabled or disabled in appropriate triggers through PL/SQL code:(IF :DESFORMAT = ‘DELIMITED’ THEN RETURN TRUE/FALSE;). In order to get the Excel spreadsheet we use the following URL: http://server1/reports/rwservlet?my_reports&report=labor_detail&destype=cache&desformat=delimited&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel&paramform=no&BEGIN_DATE=01%2F01%2F2009&END_DATE=01%2F31%2F2009&RESOURCE_TYPE=100
When I converted the 6i report to 10g, I changed the following properties to support web layout:
•     Report > Report Escapes
•     Report > XML Settings
•     Web Source: <%@ page contentType. . . and <rw:include. . .
•     Paper Layout> Body> Web Settings > Table Attributes
•     Changed triggers from :DESFORMAT = ‘DELIMITED’ to :DESFORMAT = ‘SPREADSHEET’; also tried deleting these triggers altogether
In hopes of getting something to work, I rewrote a report for Excel only, but it will only accept one parameter. When multiple parameters are provided, it displays the correct data, but in paper layout.
In the 10g version that is for Excel only, we use the following URL:
http://server2/reports/rwservlet?my_reports&report=labor_detail&DESTYPE=CACHE&DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET&WHERE_CLAUSE%20AND%20WORK_DATE>=’01/01/2009’%20AND%20WORK_DATE<=’01/31/2009’%20AND%20RESOURCE_TYPE=’100’
I tried submitting the 10g report with the &MIMETYPE parameter, and it appears to open up the PDF file in Excel. I am using .rdf format, but I don’t see any difference when I use .jsp format.
Is there a way I easily convert my existing reports and parameters so that they will produce Excel format?

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I don't think I need to use the Forms Migration tool since the form has already been migrated from 6i to 10G. (Since I am now using an existing 10G form rather than trying to convert my 6i form.) I will check the FORMS_PATH. Is that in my registry file? I'm pretty sure the library has been compiled in 10G since it is attached to the other 10G forms I have and they work fine. But, just in case, how do I compile the library? And back to the FORMS_PATH: I still have the 6i version of Forms Builder on my PC. Will changing the path affect using 6i? Probably yes.

Report Builder 10g problem

I already create my report by using report builder 10g then I run it and its ok after that I tried to make some modification on that report and I Compile it(ctrl+shift+k) and Generate it(ctrl+t) the I saved it as RDF file but when i run it the modification which i made it didn't show on the report i dont know why?
any body has idea in this
plz help me..

Rahma Al-Saadi

Probably you might have old .rep file in your directory. You can create .rep file of you modified rdf file by opening it in builder and pressing Ctrl+T.
This is a Forms forum , you can post in Reports for better replies.

Using DDE package in report builder 10g

Hi,
I use this code in form 10g to edit a ms word and its work properly:
DECLARE
APPID PLS_INTEGER;
CONVID PLS_INTEGER;
DOCID PLS_INTEGER;
SYS_DATE CHAR(8);
BEGIN
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MM/DD/YY') INTO SYS_DATE FROM DUAL;
APPID := DDE.APP_BEGIN('C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE',
DDE.APP_MODE_MINIMIZED);
CONVID := DDE.INITIATE('WINWORD','SYSTEM');
DDE.EXECUTE(CONVID,'[FileOpen "c:\bin_test\exp.dotx"]', 10000);
DOCID := DDE.INITIATE('WINWORD','c:\bin_test\exp.dotx');
DDE.POKE(DOCID,'BOOKMARK1', SYS_DATE,DDE.CF_TEXT,10000);
DDE.EXECUTE(DOCID,'[FileSaveAs "c:\bin_test\output.doc"]', 10000);
DDE.TERMINATE(CONVID);
END;
when I put this code in the afterreport trigger in report builder 10g and call the report from form;
a blank document word is opened withoud any changes as well as the report result in pdf format.
what can i do to let this code work in report builder??
best regards,
Ahmad

I use this code in form 10g to edit a ms word and its work properlyI very much doubt that. Calling DDE from Forms this way would result in trying to open Word on the <b>server</b>.
the report result in pdf formatThe report result format is determined by how it is called. Looks like you call it with desformat=pdf.

Generate txt output using a program unit in web report (OAS 10g)

Hi Everyone.
I have a c/s report (6i) which generates a txt file in a program unit using TEXT_IO package. I need to move this report to web (Reports 10g) and publishing it in OAS 10g. I've done that (without the text file generation), I can see the report on the browser in PDF Format and works fine... but, I still have a problem... when I use Text_io package, the c/s version of the report in 10g runs an generates the output.txt file but when I move it to web I got an error in the before report trigger (in which I invoke the program unit sp_generate_txt)
I looked around for a solution and I just find the usage of webutil package, but as you know, webutil package is only usable in Forms.
Any Ideas on how can I solve this problem?

Hello,
TEXT_IO can be used in Reports deployed on the web.
The difference with Client /Server is the fact that the file create by TEXT_IO will be created on the "Middle Tier Server" and not on the Client.
