Formate Conversion: From Reports to Msword Format

Hi all
I am using oracle 9i reports. I generate one report and the out put in rtf format. when run this report and get the out put in file and can see by double click on it and its going open in Msword automatically. my problem start when i run this report from the forms using the run_report object and then suing web.show_documents to see the report in word. its working fine but every time it ask me the editor where i have to open this file. so i have to select Msword then its open. My all users can not do this one. so is there any way that it should be open automatically with out asking.
here is my code
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)|| '?'||'server=' || :global.reportserver,'_blank');
and in my report object property i have set all the property that the format is rtf
Thanks

I believe that is not possible. When getting a RTF document from a web site, Internet Explorer always asks you if you want to open or save the file. The file cannot be viewed directly in IE. That has to do with the fact that MS Word has to convert the RTF file first before it can be displayed.
There may be IE plugins on Internet that can directly view RTF files in the browser, but I'm not sure.
Another option is to use PDF instead of RTF. PDF can be viewed directly in the browser.

Hi
Yes you need to install 6.0 or 6i as intermidiary in order to run your report successfully on 9i platform. This just recently happend with me.

Poor raw conversion from Fujifilm X100 .raf format in Lightroom 3 and 4

I'm seeing very poor results when doing raw conversion from Fujifilm X100 .raf format. Who can I contact about this? Is there anything I can do?
See below for what is supposed to be a white curtain, lit by stage lighting. It results in a blown out blue channel, serious loss of detail, and very ugly gradient.
(Lightroom 4.2, Camera Raw 7.2 on LEFT --- Fujifilm X100 in-camera jpg on RIGHT)
And for more detail:
(Lightroom 4.2, Camera Raw 7.2 on TOP --- Fujifilm X100 in-camera jpg on BOTTOM)
(Lightroom 4.2, Camera Raw 7.2 on LEFT --- Fujifilm X100 in-camera jpg on RIGHT)

The blue light is so intense that it is, or almost is, saturating the sensor.
The camera’s built-in raw conversion handles this by shifting the color to cyan—clipping the blue and allowing the green to contribute more. I doubt there was cyan lighting in the scene, only blue.
Adobe does not shift the hue, but this makes the blue seem over saturated. Adobe’s conversion may be more colorimetrically correct, but less pleasing in this case of intense lighting that the sensor cannot accurately record.
It is a difference in camera profile used between the camera and Adobe. Since Adobe does not supply camera-match profiles for much more than Nikon and Canon cameras, you’re not going to be able to fix things other than managing the over-saturation using HSL or WB or other things like lower-vibrance, higher saturation.
You could try making your own camera profile using an X-Rite Color-Checker Passport or the color-checker and the Adobe DNG Profile Editor:

Conversion from string "20041023 " to type 'Date' is not valid.

Hi ,
I have a table with one of the column(EmpHiredate) datatype is char(10). It has value like "20141023". I need to display this value as date format(dd/mm/yyyy) in report.
Following methods i tried in textbox expression but no luck.
=Format(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,"dd/MM/yyyy")
=Cdate(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value)
Error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘EmpHireDate.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Conversion from string "20041023 " to type 'Date' is not valid.
Is it possible to convert string to date using SSRS textbox expression ? Can anyone help me with the solution.
Thanks,
Kittu

Hi Jmcmullen,
Found one more issue on the same. I have one value like "00000000" for the column(EmpHiredate)
, when i use above expression values(ex:"20141023")
are displaying in dd/MM/yyyy format in report except value like "00000000" and giving following error:
[rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘EmpHireDate.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Conversion from string "0000/00/00" to type 'Date' is not valid.
Even i tried to pass its original value("00000000") as below but no luck.
=IIF(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value = "00000000","00000000",Format(CDATE(MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,1,4) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,5,2) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,7,2)),"dd/MM/yyyy"))
Also tried this:
=IIF(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value = "00000000","2000/10/21",Format(CDATE(MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,1,4) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,5,2) + "/" + MID(Fields!EmpHireDate.Value,7,2)),"dd/MM/yyyy"))
Please Suggest.

Conversion from milliseconds to Date in 1.5

A java.util.Date object can be constructed by passing the number of milliseconds since 1 January 1970 as a constructor argument. This Date can then be formatted to a human-readable format with SimpleDateFormat.
I have tested this conversion from milliseconds to a date both in Java SDK 1.4.1 and Java 1.5.0 to see if there are differences in the way dates are calculated from milliseconds. It seems that there are differences when the system timezone is set to Europe/Berlin. The dates from 1.5.0 are one hour ahead of those from 1.4.1 in a certain week in May 1945 and a day in September 1945.
This means that milliseconds that are generated from a date by using the Java 1.4.1 runtime and then stored are interpreted differently when they are retrieved when using java runtime 1.5.0, if they happen to be one of those days in 1945. This could cause discrepancies when an application is migrated to JDK 1.5.0.
This is only a minor problem, but is there any way to know what caused these changes in SDK 1.5.0 and what these changes are? Is there historical data that the Sun implementation is based on to calculate dates from millisecond values?
Any help is appreciated.
Kind regards

I found the following at "http://thedailywtf.com/forums/70146/ShowPost.aspx"
In summer 1945, Berlin and the Soviet-occupied part of Germany observed a daylight savings time of two hours. Unfortunately, Sun's JRE 1.4 implementation of GregorianCalendar defines a maximum DST of one hour and, in non-lenient mode, rejects the 2 hours as invalid when recalculating all fields after the millisecond field is set.
Here's the bug report: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4639407

Why is printing report different from report builder and app server

I created a report and when ran from report builder it looks fine.
And when i moved the report to server and ran the report in the browser using this url
http://192.1.1.8:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=esp/esp_dev1@wdev&report=FMMA_VOUCHER.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
and print it the report shrinks, the fonts become small and the margins change. I am having hard time how to figure out a way to correlate the formatting in the report builder and when i run on the server using pdf format.
Is there any way to set the server so that the pdf output matches with the report builder.
Thanks.

Exporting a 2D table from Report to Excel

I have created an automatic populating 2D table in the Report window. I would like to copy the contents of the table into excel format. When I try to copy/paste into excel, I just get a bunch of code. Is there a way to copy the contents of the 2D table from Report and paste them into another program?
Steve

Steve,
When you copy an object in REPORT (such as a 2D table), DIAdem will copy the code required to create the object, not the numbers in the table. This is by design and there is no direct way to copy the actual numbers from a REPORT table.
A possible workaround is the "Transfer to VIEW" function on the REPORT toolbar. That function will take the current REPORT layout and copy it into the VIEW area. In VIEW you can highlight the values in the table and Copy/Paste them into Excel. To copy a complete column, click in the first row of the column and the pres and hold Shift&Control" and then hit the down arrow. That will select a complete channel.
I hope this helps with your question,

Conversion from u0091Stringu0092 to type u0091Dateu0092

Hi,
I am fetching a date from DeliveryDate TextBox from Sales Order. I enter as 10/03/2007. As I need to fetch this value and store it in Production Order DueDate records through SDK Code.When I fetch this value from code,I get as 20070310. When I try to update my Production Order DueDate it gives me an Error Msgbox Conversion from string 20070310 to type Date is not valid. Here is my code to update production order.
Dim DelDt As String
DelDt = MyForm.Items.Item("12").Specific.value
Here DelDt shows 20070310
Now I have created an object of ProductionOrder and try to add Records,
sboProdOrder.DueDate = DelDt
On the above line it gives me that messagebox.
Can any one help me as to how can I convert this code in a working one or how to convert the string to date in VB.Net
Thanks a lot
Murtaza

Hi Murtuza,
Retrieving the value from a date-field through the value always returns the date as a string in the format yyyymmdd.
the field DueDate is a field of type DateTime.Date. to enter the date in this field, you must convert the string to a date.
The following line converts the date-string to a date.
new DateTime.Date(left(DelDt,4), mid(DelDt,5,2), right(DelDt,2))

Email from Reports 3.0

Hi ! Friends , Is it possible to E-mail a report from Reports 3.0

Hi,
You can send the report to mail.
This is done by directing the email output to
be directly sent via email without previewing
it in the Report Previewer,
This is achived by setting the following parameters:
DESTYPE: MAIL
DESFORMAT: PDF or HTML
DESNAME: Name of the email id
The result will be an email message with the
output attached as the target format.

Regression testing on PDF output files from Reports?

My current client is looking to do more automated regression testing of the output (content) of their reports, most of which are output from Reports6i into Adobe Acrobat PDF file format. Is anyone currently using or aware of a tool (QARun, WinRunner, etc.) that will do this? (Most of the tools can do a binary comparison of the PDF files that were output, but we need something that will look into the PDF files themselves and tell us where any differences are found in the actual content (text) of the report itself.)
Thanks in advance for any info anyone can provide!

Dear Nick,
Just ensure a printer is configured. This can be done by typing in echo $PRINTER at the $Prompt.
If it returns null then configurea printer and i fell this should resolve your problem,

Struts/ADF/Toplink conversion from 10.1.2 to 10.1.3

Hi. We have a J2EE application based on Struts/ADF/Toplink.
We just let the JDeveloper migrate the whole application itself.
We solved a few minor problems, but now we have the greater one:
- we have in domain classes some getX...(), setX...() methods, intended for example
for getting attributes of nested objects or for conversion from String to Date.
In older version, when you had some getXSomeAtr() method in domain class, the attribute
XSomeAttr was automatically generated into Data Control.
In newer version it's not! If you want the attribute to be in data control, you must
have an private attribute XSomeAtr declared in domain class.
Example - we have these attibutes (first two has their own getters and setters and are
mapped in toplink, the third is unmapped)
private Date datum;
private String nazev;
private String XDatumAsDate;
and methods
public String getXDatumAsDate() {
return OurUtils.dateToStringAsDate(getDatum());
public void setXDatumAsDate(String datum) throws ParseException{
Date d = OurUtils.StringToDateAsDate(datum);
setDatum(d);
And the form look like this
<html:text property="XDatumAsDate" .../>
<html:text property="nazev" .../>
Reading is ok, but attempt to modify date in input field ends with
"JBO-35009: Setting attribute for XDatumAsDate in object methodRSICollection failed"
Are we doing something wrong ? We just need to have the date entering under our control and
be able to enter dates in various formats.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

I compared the both old and new data control xml files and found the difference. The previous attribute descriptor has IsUpdateable="true" but the new has IsUpdateable="0".
Manually changing won't help - data control generation of any class regenerates all data controls and puts back IsUpdateable="0". I'm stuck now.

Best practice video conversion from download

I am looking for best practice for video conversions.
I am downloading adobe recordings via this method:
http://server.adobeconnect.com/xyz/output/filename.zip?download=zip
From here, I have been converting the FLVs using either freemake video converter or FLV converter. I have tried converting into AVI (XVID), MOV, WMV, etc. (I need the file to be under 600 MB for an hour of recording, therefore it is going to need some type of compression).
My goal is to import the video into Sony Vegas Pro 10 for further editting. I have found that whatever method I use, the video and audio does not sync properly about 50% of the time. The video time is longer than the audio time usually. Or that there are other various errors, such as the video just freezing halfway through the video.
I have been using connect for a few years now, but with each update I find (connect 8, 9, etc), that the problems are getting worse. At this point I am just wasting time trying to convert into various formats using various codecs just trying to luck upon one where the video is at least without error.
What methods are others using to convert the FLV to a workable editable format?

Can't the FLV files be changed into many different formats through Apple's
Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder? These formats can then be opened in
standard video editing software for editing.

Yes, I use this as a last resort, as the quality of capture this was is
signifcatnly lower. As well as it is a much more time consuming process. I
sometimes have over 50 parts of 1 hour video. To use camtasia, you need
first to record it, then it must be saved in a camtasia format, and then
lastly rendered into avi or wmv. Therefore, it is does take awhile.
Really, I feel there shouldnt be so many errors in the conversion process,
but I am finding the FLV recordings themselves have problems. This last
file I am looking at, even the recording playback on adobe connect, has
serious issues with audio and video sync. A problem that is all too common
