Format issue after Oracle Reports conversion

Hi all:
I am an intermediate Oracle Reports user and am evaluating teh use of BI Publisher as a replacement. Since I have a large number of reports, some of which are fairly complex, I wish to take advantage of the conversion tool.
The report in this issue has no user parameters. The Data Model is a "Data Template" type as generated from the conversion routine. The connection used was as the schema owner.
I can View the report, but the formatting is completely wrong and the charts are no longer in the report.
What do I need to do to fix this?
Any help appreaciated,
Gary

Hi Gary
The converter does not handle charts at the moment. You will need to re-create those in the template.
Need a bit more info on 'the formatting is completely wrong' to be able to comment further.
Regards
Tim

Date format issue in oracle database

Hi,
Back end : Oracle 11.2.0.2.0
Front end : Forms 11g
In our application we are facing issue with TO_DATE('DD/MM/YYY') Date format conversion.
Example: TO_DATE(P_date,'DD/MM/YYYY') giving the result as 20-Dec-0009
In the above eg the Parameter P_date is coming as '20-dec-09' from the front end (forms 11g)
The Nls_date_format parameter at database level is set as 'DD-MON-RR'
Its working fine after changing the conversion as TO_DATE(P_date,'DD/MM/RRRR') .- If we do like this , we need to change in many places , so instead of doing this, is there other solution wrt database settings/Application settings where we can change and fix this issue
pls help us to solve the issue.
Regards.

sathish kWell the solution is right in front of you. As you say, your database environment is set to DD-MON-RR so your database is set to use 2 digit years (something most people moved away from with the millenium bug more than 10 years ago now). You can either change all your code to use RRRR as you've found, or change your database NLS setting to DD-MON-RRRR and change your front end application to pass you a date with 4 digit years so you get e.g. '20-dec-2009'.
So many people worked hard to resolve the millenium bug issues all those years ago, but still we have people, all these years later, who want to reintroduce the problem. So sad.

Hide number (or format number) on Oracle Report with Barcode

Hi al !
i have done a example about print Barcode on Oracle Report
with help link :
[http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B10602_01/orbr_barcode.htm|http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B10602_01/orbr_barcode.htm]
However
I want to hide number under Barcode images or Format number !
Ex:
|||||||||||||| --> images barcode
1234567 --> number barcode
i want : hide : "123456" or format it : "123.456"

Hello,
The Image is generated by the java code in oraclebarcode.jar
It is possible to "hide" a part of the image by puting an object ("rectangle" for example ) over the part of the image you want to hide.

IPhone User Guide Format Issue After 4.3 Upgrade

The iPhone User Guide is no longer formatted properly since I upgraded to iOS 4.3. Although the info is there, the top third of the screen remains stationary, while the rest sometimes scrolls. On some screens, it's not possible to scroll down enough to see all the info. Has anyone else had this issue after upgrading? If so, what did you do to resolve it? I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.

Have taken to downloading the PDF but it's not nearly as quick and easy to use.
You need to restore your phone in iTunes, first using a backup, and if needed as a new iPhone, without using a backup. All is explained in the User Guide.
Starting to question why I did't go android. I thought apple products err just supposed to work!
No one here cares if you go androgynous. I'm sure they all work perfectly all the time.

Date format Issue after HRSP Update

Hi,
We are faced with a strange issue after HRSP update was applied on our client system (upgraded from SAP-KE-30 to SAP-KE-36).
There is an outgoing interface which picks up all the the starters into the local government pension scheme and updates a B2A document. This is implemented via a z-program.
When we look at the out put after the interface has run for the vast majority of employees it shows their date of birth as 21.05.1968 when it should show it as 21051968. This only appears to have happen after the HRSP's have been applied.
No modifications have been made to the z-program. What could be the reason for this issue. has anyone faced such an issue post HRSP update?
Any pointers on how to further investigate and resolve the issue will be most helpful.

Hello Iside,
In this case we can try to reload the software on the BlackBerry Smartphone to make sure it is running the latest version and there are no issues with the OS on the device.
To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry Smartphone. Please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your device. Click on the Backup and Restore options and select Back Up. Please note the location where the backup is being saved as we will need to access it later to restore the BlackBerry Smartphone.
Once you have backed up your BlackBerry Smartphone please follow the link below to complete a clean reload of the BlackBerry Smartphone software.
Link: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
Please test the date once the software is reloaded prior to restoring the backup.
Thank you

Empty page issue in Oracle Reports!

Hi All,
I am facing an empty page issue between header and cover trailer when Main section is empty.
In a report there are two forms Form-1 (Portrait size) , Form-2 (Landscape size)...
Based on run time parameter we optionally print form-1 , form-2 or both.
ie if run time parameter is 1 then only form 1
if it is 2 then only form - 2
if it is 3 then both
As Form-1 is portrait size and Form-2 is Landscape size,
At present in Report Layout, Form-1 is designed in Cover page Header Section
and Form-2 is designed in Main section of report.
So When the report is run with PRINT_PATTERN='2', Main section will be empty.
An empty page issue appears in report for form-2.
Is there anyway to avoid EMPTY PAGE issue between header and trailer page,
based on runtime parameter value if Main section is empty.
Thanks in advance.

Hi vdsk,
The issue I posted is not about the rdf or in concurrent program. The problem I've encountered is in the tally printer itself. So what I did was to adjust the paper size settings in the printer.
Thanks,

Do the report display properly from the designer? Does the Export from the designer in xls works fine?

Date Format issue in my report.

Hello Experts-
I created a report with a date prompt, which we need to enter two dates, start date and end date.
I followed the steps as they were in this link
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2009/03/obiee-between-dates-prompt.html
I changed the condition in the prompt to Date'1900-1-1' instead of TIMESTAMP'1900-1-1- 00:00:00
I.e.,
CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN CALENDAR.D_DATE ELSE Date' 1900-01-01' END
and
CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN CALENDAR.D_DATE ELSE Date '2999-12-31' END
I stored those two dates in two presentation variables start_date, end_date
In my report, I imposed a filter on my table that, date coulmn in my table is between Date'@(start_date}' and Date'@{end_date}'
But when I am running the report with entering two dates, I am getting this error:
*State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 46046] Datetime value 12/1/2010 does not match the specified format. (HY000)*
I entered 12/01/2010 as start date and 12/02/2010 as end_date
Can you please guide me in this issue.

I think your date format is in different format with the date format u stored in presentation variable so better check the date format of the case function u wrote it in you variable that will solve the problem.

Date Format Issue IN BEX REPORT

Hi Experts,
we are working on BW 3.5.
we have a ODS where data is uploaded through flat file and there are 5 to 7 date field all made of Z infoobjects.
So now the user is putting the data for these Date fields as 20110901 = 1st sep2011. but in report its coming as 09/01/2011
when i checked all the Z fields that are created for this date fields have reference character as Date
only one field is character so it is coming correct as given by the user
but rest all are appearing in different format . In ODS also the date is coming as 09/01/2011
now the user want all the data to be in the same format as given by HIM.
I cant even change the properties of these Z info object removing the reference info object 0Date and make them character string.
so now please suggest how to upload the date given by the user as it is without changing the format and also how to change the format for the back data as its flat file so No data can be deleted.
thankkkkkkkks

hello
Bex analyzer is an excel add-in. Date formats are based on your regional settings.
If you want to have a different date format in the sap gui then you have to change your user profile in sap system.
Flat file upload needs the date format in a database format (YYYYMMDD).
You can transform the date in the transformation step with rules or with a routine( abap coding).
Thank you

in R12 I found 2 choice
1) when submitting requests (if available) you can set the output format by using the Options button (upon sompletion section):
layout --> format --> select format you need (RTF/HTML/EXCEL/PDF)
2) in the request form (view->request) selecr the report you want to reprint in the Tools menu select print/republish, in the html page that pop up select output format you want, number of copies =1 submit

Formating issues after converting a pdf to a word document

The word document I converted from adobe does not match the PDF formatting. How do I fix that?

Hi ioannay44277706,
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble converting your file. It sounds like the issue is with one particular file, is that correct? How large is that file? Are you converting via the ExportPDF web interface or via Reader?
It may be that the file is too complex to convert before the ExportPDF service times out. For starters, please try clearing the browser cache, and logging back in the https://cloud.acrobat.com. Any luck?
Best,
Sara
