Free Report Tool Datavision

Hi!
I'm using the free report Tool datavision http://datavision.sourceforge.net/, this tool have the funcionality no create reports like Crystal Reports, is good and free, I allready create my report, but I have troubles when try to publish, here is the code I'm using in index.jsp:
<%@ page import="jimm.datavision.*" %>
<%@ page import="jimm.datavision.layout.HTMLLE" %>
<%@ page import="org.xml.sax.InputSource" %>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%!

the file reporte.xml is in the root of the app, with the index.jsp

Someone have an Idea?????

Which file did you download? If iReport, you should have a program group in your Windows Start menu. If JasperReports, it is a Reporting Framework. You have to implement JasperReports in your other Java code. There are numerous examples of how to do this in the JasperReports forums as well as available through a simple Google search.
We implemented JasperReports through a java bean that was called by a JSF (Java Server Faces) application. You will need to create a Java method, be it a JavaBean or Java Servlet, etc., in order to implement JasperReports. This is explained in the documentation. :-)

Hi All, there is adhoc reporting option in jaspersoft server but it costs.
I want to know what is the cost of jasperserver and pentaho reporting tool for a single user and contact details to purchase it.

the Professional version is not terribly expensive.
Cheers,
PSPoseidon is based on ArgoUML, which BSD licensed.
I'm currently using ArgoUML and I like, although it has
a lot of bugs that drive me nuts.

Compare reporting tools

Hi,
Could some one point in the right direction - we are trying to finalize the reporting tool.
We have worked with BI-Publisher(not as dynamic) and Discoverer(formatting a big issue) - trying to find a tool that would overcome the limitations that these 2 tools have.
We want to be able to use Oracle Db, VPD, set client_id using OPD.Net, integrate with web application as key requirements. By same token would like to be able to create dynamic reports which allows a great deal of flexibility. Is there such a reporting tool?
Any ideas much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi
I'll try and answer your questions.
1. Xml, Sql(either a view or stored proc) as input
data sourceYou can base an Apex report on a view or mod/plsql procedure, or use xmldb.
2. support odp.net providerAs I understand it odp.net is a tool used by .net to access Oracle. Apex is a database tool so all the data and code, everything is in the database.
3. Work with VPD - virtual private database Yes.
4. single-sign-on, and setting client_identifier on
connection.Yes
5. Integrate with existing web application(asp.net
2.0)Not sure what integration you want.
6. This tool is free right, to be used with Oracle
10g database.Free and can be used with 10g or 9i databases.

Why can't I print to a Zebra 2746e using the report tool kit?

I have read on here how peoople have printed barcodes from LV by sending commands directly to a zebra printer. I am using LV8.2.1 on a windows xp computer. I am sending EPL2 messages to the printer using the report tool kit, but all I get is a couple of line feeds. If I send the commands from a command prompt by coping a test file to the printer port it prints fine. Any thoughts. I have attached my program.

I tried your code against my printer and it works as advertised. Can you print to other printers with it?
By the way, when assembling a string you should use the Format Into String function instead of a string concatenator with a bunch of inputs. It takes up less room and is easier to interpret when troubleshooting.

RE: (forte-users) Reporting tools/components for ForteApplications?

Hi Robert,
A good place to start when it comes to reporting is Forte Consulting. They
have developed a tool called ReportKit, which is ActiveX integration with
Seagate Software's Crystal Reports tool. Crystal is not really a three-tier
tool (although, your Forte Consultant can probably set it up to mimic a
three-tier tool), but it is a quick, easy way to get quality reports from
your existing Forte applications. If you're interested, give your Forte
Sales Rep (or, better still, your Forte Regional Consulting Director) a
call. They can discuss pricing and scheduling. I've done several
integration projects with Crystal, and I highly recommend ReportKit for
small- to medium-sized reporting requirements. As for costs, I don't recall
how much CrystalReports runs, but I think there are developer licenses and
runtime licenses.
FYI, the actual integration of ReportKit is pretty quick. The more
time-consuming piece of any report tool integration is the design and
implementation of the reports to be used.
I hope this helps.

Subject: (forte-users) Reporting tools/components for Forte
Applications?
Hi all,
We are looking for what is currently in the marketplace to enhance the
reporting
capabilities of Forte. Ideally, we are looking for component libraries that
we
could import into our repository. Do these exist?
Currently, I have found six reporting tools that are out there. The
tools
are Actuate, Crystal Reports, Report Workshop from Indus Consultancy
Services, Brio Technologies (SQR) VisualBRIO, Visual CyberQuery from
Cyberscience Corp., and Beacon from Brahma Software Solutions FORTify
Components. Are there any others for Forte?
If anyone is currently using one of these Reporting Tools for Forte or
any
others, could you give me any indications as to the costs, training, type
of
application using the Reporting tool, would you recommend using the
product
again, does it use wrappering or API, or is it a component based tool, and
any
other relevant information on the product?
Thanks,

Note: We are currently developing in Forte 3.0.L.2. However, we would
like
to select a reporting tool/component within the next month. We are in the
initial phases of our next project, an application to be developed
in-house.
Probably will have two databases, one for real-time data and another one
for
archived data. Probably will need reporting functionality and capabilities
for
both real-time data and archived data.

I think, SUN is not al all interested in TOOL.If TOOL were just a language and had no market yet, you are probably

an existing and profitable market. Sun still sells FORTRAN, after all, and
continues to put money into ADE development for all its language
products. The real kicker, though, is that I think iPlanet is very clear
that Fusion, now iIS, is a very key product for them. There may be those
who wish it were written in Java and who might lobby for doing a Java
version, but it was clear at the conference that the iPlanet management
recognize that Java just isn't up to the task at this point. It isn't as
if all the iPlanet tools are actually written in Java, after all.
They will only support them for as long as they need.Or, more likely, for as long as they make money.
Now, in response to Microsofts .NET stratagy. We have yet to see how
succesfull this will be, but I expect Microsoft to push this down the
throats of developers and companies quite succesfully.Like they did DCOM?

Need free OST viewer tool to help to view OST files without connecting to MS Exchange Server and MS Outlook.

Need free OST viewer tool to help to view OST files without connecting to MS Exchange Server and MS Outlook.

Hi Howard,
As I know, Microsoft does not provide any kind of inbuilt tool or free software to only view OST file, even without the connectivity with exchange server (Offline).
Try SysTools OST Viewer freeware which helps you to view all OST file save at your system in an easy way, whether you want to see the attachments or other items of OST file.
Note: This is a free inbuilt utility, but try it on your own risk as I am not much aware about it and its working. But this tool sounds good according to your requirement and hopefully it would give you 100% satisfaction.
Thanks

Free iWeb SEO Tool to Help Improve Search Engine Rankings

Hi,
I have just posted a free iWeb SEO Tool that will let you add and edit all your meta tags and header information, as well as a few other important search engine optimization factors. Here is a brief description of what it can do;
iWeb SEO Tool is the only software that makes it easy to get your iWeb built website ready for search engines.
Since Apple has often neglected key SEO strategies in their iWeb software, it is difficult for many iWeb based websites to rank high in search engines. This is why we have created this free utility to help you properly optimize your website.
Features include;
1) Easily add meta tags such as description and keywords
2) Edit your title tags for each pages
3) Add robot rules and language meta tags
4) Add alternative text for images
5) All settings are saved in a private database so next time you publish your site you can take all the saved SEO copy and apply to your new site
6) Edit sites locally or directly on your iDisk
I am looking for feedback on this tool to see how useful it can be. If you find any problems, please let me know. You can download this tool by creating a free beta testers account at;
http://www.trybeta.com/home/
Please let me know if this is useful for anyone. It is completely free for all iWeb users.
*I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link*
<Edited by Moderator>

1. To publish to .Mac just mount your iDisk and go to Web/Sites/ and you will see your old site there. Delete that site and just copy your new site to the location.
2. Just press the load from iDisk button in the toolbar and enter your username and password. Your sites from your iDisk will load in iWeb SEO Tool.

UCM and Reporting Tools

Hey all,
Wondering if anyone has any info on reporting tools with UCM (apart from Content Tracker).
Has anyone integrated, say, something along the lines of Crystal Reports, or Cognos BI, with UCM? Difficult? Easy?
Appreciate any info!

Hi
Another option would be to use Oracle BAM . I have not used it but have heard reviews that it's pretty good and not too complex to set up as well .
Also there is a ready made solution for OBIEE - UCM which again is rich in features.
Thanks

SAS or BW as reporting tool

Hi everyone,
I know that some customers using SAP as OLTP system, use SAS
and BW as reporting tools.
I would like to get in touch with customers who work on SAP CRM and SAP ECC and use SAS and BW as reporting tools.
I would like to compare the work to do to extract information from SAP and upload information in SAS or BW cubes???
To be honest, I don't understand for which reasons these customers have benefits in maintaining 2 data warehouse tool.
Thank you in advance to reply to my mail.
Best regards
Béatrice

Beatrice,
Welcome to SDN....
typically SAS is used in analyticsintensive applications where you have custom data mining models etc running on huge volumes of data. Also SAS is predominantly geared towards analytics and it aso comes with a rich set og tols fr data warehousing ( SAS warehouse Builder ) .
BW would satisfy a basic reporting need - more on the lines of operational and light analytical reports that is required for day to day oprations and high level reporting needs..
An example of a highly analytical report would be : What is the percentage of my customers who use SAP ITTolbox as wel as SDN and contribute the same questions in both ( Nothing in particlar against SDN or SAp .. forgive me for the example used..)
You could d it in BW but that would required umpteen summarizations levels and business models in between , to do it in AS would mean a neat SQL query and a single data model to chew the data and give you the results andchanging the model is quite easy.
A BW report might be : give me a list of new poets by pster for each day griuped by country and peak activity time ( an example again ..)
Places where you could compare it are ;
organizations like GE , Citibank etc which might use Oracle / SAP for their ERP and use SAS for their analytics due t the data intensive nature of the same.
Hope it helps..

Reporting Tools for Flex

Does anyone know of Reporting Tools that integrate with Flex
2.0 that display reports in PDF, HTML, FlashPaper, or other
formats. Does someone from Adobe have some ideas on ths

ColdFusion, assuming you're using it, has an excellent report
engine. The report builder is also a free download. It supports
each of the formats you've described and reports can be invoked
from your Flex app with a simple link to a web page containing the
"cfr" file (or a variety of other ways).
Allegedly, if you need to do more complex reporting (multiple
nested sub-reports, for example), an enterprise class tool like
Crystal might be more appropriate. I find Crystal a bit cumbersome
and it will be FAR more expensive than CF's report builder. I've
used the CF report writer since its release (about two years
now???) and I've yet to encounter a reporting requirement it
couldn't handle. Sure it misbehaves sometimes and is a little
buggy, but I think it gets a lot of bad press it doesn't deserve.
And you can't beat the price if you're a CF user!
Thanks,

Reporting tools for VS2012 Express missing

Hello,
I am just about at my wits end here. I am wondering what I am doing wrong with this. I am trying to use the Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll to create simple reports in my Windows Forms application. I have SQL Server 2012 installed, and have just installed
SQL Data Tools for Visual Studio which are no use at all. I have also installed the microsoft report viewer 2012 runtime and acquired version 11 report viewer. I can get the report viewer on my form in designer, however the "Design new report" doesnt
do a damn thing. I am also missing the "Templates" tab when trying to add a new item, as well as all reporting items, therefore I cant create an rdlc file. I just want to know why these things arent in my visual studio, and how to get them in asap.
Below is the image of the add new item dialog, with the absence of the reporting items. (Which I cant post yet because I am not verified).
My options look like this
<Installed>
   <Visual C# Items>
      <Code>
      <Data>
      <General>
      <Windows Forms>
      <WPF>
<Online>
Having worked with these before and it being simple I assumed it would be this time but I've spent the best part of 6 hours installing things to no avail.
Any help is much appreciated as I am very close to a deadline.

yes, something like that.
APEX already is a reporting tool. To get a free print engine, there is FOP (do NOT know if it runs under glassfish), JasperReports (again, No idea if it runs under glassfish)..
thanks. i will check on this. i did find a thread were someone said they got it working with jasperreports but there wasn't much info on it. i'll keep searching for more info.
The company will atleast be using a paid for version of database, right? If so, then they have rights to the OHS... (Oracle's Application Server)..
this company is an outsourcing company that outsources oracle developers. they have a licensed oracle database 10 enterprise edition but i think it's a development license. if it's ok to use that then the better. otherwise it will be oracle xe for now.
initially i will propose the use of all these free open source tools. and inform them that being free means limitations. then if they demand something more, then that's the time i will inform them about alternatives like bi publisher. eventually they'll need to upgrade to at least standard edition of the database if data volume grows.
Get your mind out of the gutter! Grab mine while you're there, please.
hope is good. who knows, maybe someone out there may have already found a good tool or may be someone is building one. or maybe oracle will get a big heart and maybe create a lite version of bi publisher for free of use or they can add a lite version of bi publisher for the oracle database 11g xe edition. ( probably asking too much from oracle =)

Reporting Tools for Hyper-V 2008 R2

Are there any documenting or reporting tools for Hyper-V 2008 R2? I just need to get a list of all VM guest running and their associated VHD files along with where those VHD's are stored.
Thanks!
Kristopher Turner | Not the brightest bulb but by far not the dimmest bulb.

Sam,
Thanks, we are at the start of an upgrade from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2. Just needed an easier way to pull information about the current environment like what location each VHD for each VM is located and if there are any snap shots saved, etc.
Just planning ahead to help make the migration easier. The current environment is a mixture of CSV's and direct LUN's. So it should be interesting when we start our migration planning.
Noticed you are from the King of Prussia area? Just spent a few weeks over at the Hilton Garden Inn at Valley Forge.

Oracle Apex as a reporting tool.

Hello all,
i just installed APEX. I can build reports etc using schemas in the oracle instance that i installed Apex in. How about connecting to other Oracle databases which have my key data ?
Can i use this instance to connect to any other like Business Objects or other reporting tools ?
Or, do I have to use db links ? Dblinks is a non option, so hopefully there is a simple way.
Please share links etc, as relevant.

Hello,
APEX (formerly known as HTML DB) is a framework integrated into the Oracle Database, so you are of course bound to the restrictions that apply to the database.
What you can do, in addition to database links, is to create web services that provide you with the data of other database instances. Both APEX and database releases make using web services easier with every new release.
If you have a 11g database, your database could provide a Web Service "natively". See the corresponding part of the XML DB documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28369/xdb_web_services.htm#CHDDBCHB
Of course you may use other out-of-the-box frameworks to create a web service based on a jdbc-connection and hosted by some app server.
The following tutorial shows you how you can incorporate Web Services in APEX:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14373_01/appdev.32/e13363/web_serv.htm#CHDJEFEB
Perhaps this helps you focussing on one APEX instance to collect data from different databases.
