Generated pdf file from oracle reports show bad characters

Hello all,
Iam fighting with a problem with generated pdf file from oracle reports which show some bad characters. I was searching for some information but it didnt help...
I have Oracle Database 11g R2 (or 10g R2) on Oracle Linux or Windows, Oracle forms and reports 6i (i know that is very old and not supported with 11gr2 but we are in this scenario).
NLS parameters are set like this
server:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
client:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY SLOVAK
NLS_LANGUAGE SLOVAKIA
When I run Oracle Reports it show perfect in display and when I try to print them, they are all good with good characters, but when I try to generate pdf file, some characters like č,š,ľ are not displaying corectly... This happen only when try to generate to pdf...
I try to work with uifont.ali on client side but without any result. Fonts for reports were installed on client and server side... Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you very much for every advice.
Martin

Hi Sergiusz,
Thank you for your reply. I look at what you wrote and try to make some test...
1) For first I download FontForge, which can generate type1 font from true type. So I open FontForge and open my Arial.ttf font and use "Generate Fonts" to save my Arial.ttf font to pfb and pfm (whoch are need to set in uifont.ali). I have to change encoding, because my font has 2byte encoding so I reecondode the font from ISO10646-1 to ISO8859-2 and generate to pfb.
2) Then I navigate REPORTS_PATH from regedit to my *.pfm and *.pfb files.
3) I add these lines to end of my uifont.ali
[ PDF:Embed ]
Arial = "Arial.pfm Arial.pfb"
ArialNarrow = "ArialNarrow.pfm ArialNarrow.pfb"
4) Then I generate my report but nothing change... I check "Font used" in my pdf file, but there were not my fonts embedded I guess..
I also try PDF:Subset, but it doesnt change anything... I try PDF aliasing to see if my uifont is working - this work very well, but I dont need to change font...
Any other advice? Thank you so much to everyone!

Problem calling XML Report Publisher from Oracle Reports

Hi,
I'm facing a problem in calling XML Report Publisher from Oracle Reports.
Basically, I'm trying to customise Dunning Letter program. The program which is submitted calls another program. I have customised the second program and added a call to a stored procedure which in turn calls XML Report Publisher.I have created a template and attached it to the second program as well.
The procedure code is as follows.
v_request_id := FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST(application => 'AR'
,program => 'ARDLP_NON_SRS'
,description => 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate'
,sub_request => FALSE
l_status := fnd_concurrent.WAIT_FOR_REQUEST
( REQUEST_ID => v_request_id,
INTERVAL => 15,
MAX_WAIT => 180,
PHASE => l_phase,
STATUS => l_status_code,
DEV_PHASE => l_dev_phase,
DEV_STATUS => l_dev_status,
MESSAGE => l_message );
v_xml_req_id := FND_REQUEST.submit_request(application => 'XDO',
program => 'XDOREPPB',
          argument1 => v_request_id,
argument2 => 'FLS DE AR Dunning Letter Print - German',
argument3 => 603, -- changed 665 -- was 551,
argument4     => NULL,
argument5 => 'N',
argument6     => 'RTF',
          argument7     => 'PDF');
Now, there are two problems I'm facing...
1. when the second program('Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate') gets called it executes this procedure ... logically the 'Dunning Letter Print from Dunning Letter Generate' should get called twice ... second time from the procedure. Its getting called multiple times .. as many as 15 - 20 times.
2. The Xml Report Publisher program ultimately gets called but its erroring out with the following error:
java.sql.SQLException: No corresponding LOB data found :SELECT L.FILE_DATA FILE_DATA, DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(L.FILE_DATA) FILE_LENGTH, L.LANGUAGE LANGUAGE, L.TERRITORY TERRITORY, B.DEFAULT_LANGUAGE DEFAULT_LANGUAGE, B.DEFAULT_TERRITORY DEFAULT_TERRITORY,B.TEMPLATE_TYPE_CODE TEMPLATE_TYPE_CODE, B.USE_ALIAS_TABLE USE_ALIAS_TABLE, B.START_DATE START_DATE, B.END_DATE END_DATE, B.TEMPLATE_STATUS TEMPLATE_STATUS, B.USE_ALIAS_TABLE USE_ALIAS_TABLE, B.DS_APP_SHORT_NAME DS_APP_SHORT_NAME, B.DATA_SOURCE_CODE DATA_SOURCE_CODE, L.LOB_TYPE LOB_TYPE FROM XDO_LOBS L, XDO_TEMPLATES_B B WHERE (L.LOB_TYPE = 'TEMPLATE' OR L.LOB_TYPE = 'MLS_TEMPLATE') AND L.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME= :1 AND L.LOB_CODE = :2 AND L.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME = B.APPLICATION_SHORT_NAME AND L.LOB_CODE = B.TEMPLATE_CODE AND ( (L.LANGUAGE = :3 AND L.TERRITORY = :4 ) OR (L.LANGUAGE = :5 AND L.TERRITORY = :6) OR (L.LANGUAGE= B.DEFAULT_LANGUAGE AND L.TERRITORY= B.DEFAULT_TERRITORY ) )
I have checked from database that the XDO_LOBS/ XDO_TEMPLATES_B table has corresponding registration data.
I don't know what's creating the problem.
If anyone has customised the Dunning Letter program before or having any idea about this problem, please help me out ..
Thanks

Can anyone let me know where is the problem?

Actually, the question boils down to; does the framework support the fonts?
I believe that my question re. this working in the designer was valid. The designer does not use the framework, so if it works there, it is either a framework issue or a runtime print engine issue.
I believe if you use the code below, it will list fonts available to the framework:
foreach(FontFamily ff in FontFamily.Families)
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ff.Name);
For more information see kbase [1198306 - Crystal Report displaying incorrect font in Microsoft Visual Studio .NET|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_dev/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333133393338333333303336%7D.do]

How can I use unix commands from oracle report

I have to use the following command from oracle reports.
In oracle forms we can use the HOST command but what about oracle reports2.5.
I have to email the attached file 100245.pdf from oracle reports to the given email id
uuencode 100245.pdf 100245.pdf | mailx -s "test" [email protected]

Hi,
It's because .bat (or .cmd) files are scripts and not executables and are interpreted using the command line executable - which is normally cmd.exe (although you can buy others).
So you need to call cmd.exe passing the bat file name as a parameter, something like
cmd.exe /c batchfilename
Without the /c you will never get a response.
However, this brings us to the bizarre conclusion that you are going to:
call cmd.exe (a shell interpreter)
to launch a batch file
that calls cygwin (another shell interpreter)
which then runs ls
When shouldn't that just be:
call cmd.exe to run the dir command
Or better yet, If you are just after a file name listing and you seem to understand Java stored procs, why not just write a JSP to list the contents of a directory? No problems with OS dependant commands, scripts and 3rd party interpreters. Plenty of examples of that out on the internet as well.

Getting a report in excel format from oracle report builder 10gDS release2

I want to get a report in excel format from oracle report builder 10gDS release2.
Is there ne method by which minimum effort is required for changing already made reports .
I have searched for it on internet :-
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/state/content/navId.3/navSetId._/vtTopicFile.htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs%7Crwwhthow%7Cwhatare%7Coutput%7Coutput_a_simpleexcel~htm/
Example, given in the last of the page opened from the above url, is not working.
Can neone plz explain the example and how to use it
Thanks & Regards
JD

Ok, for the release 2 its quite straightfoward, in your calling form you would have something like this code:
declare
     pl_id ParamList;
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
v_rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
v_repsrv     VARCHAR2(100):= 'yourreportserver';
v_serv varchar2(50) := 'yourservername' ;
begin
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
if not id_null(pl_id) then
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
end if;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESTYPE' ,TEXT_PARAMETER,'Screen' );
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM' ,TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO' );
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('yourreport');     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER, v_repsrv);
set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE );
set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'SPREADSHEET' );
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid,pl_id);
v_rep := substr(v_rep,length(v_repsrv)+2,10 ) ;
end;
I have plenty of reports being formated to excel with this same method so it should work for you, the only diference with my previous code is this line.
set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'SPREADSHEET' );
The rest remains untouched.
Hope it helps.

How to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports

I would like to know how to create pdf files in UNIX directory from oracle reports.
Thanks,

Please make your question more clear . Also mention the reports version.
1) If you are runnning reports in Unix, you can give
.... destype=file desformat=pdf desname=<filename>
in command line
Please refer docs below.
2) If by your question you mean
"My reports server is running in Windows but I want to ftp my files to Unix after creating it"
then the answer is that you can use pluggable destination "ftp"
.... destype=ftp desformat=pdf desname=<ftp url>
Pluggable destinations download

hello,
there is no native support for directly faxing a report. you could e.g. use a fax-software that has a printer-driver that supports this.

Export graphs from Web report

Hi.
I need to copy graphs from web reports in 3.5.To do this, i have followed a roundabout:
1. Save the page as mht (web archive file)
2.Copy the image from there and paste into Powerpoint or wherever required.
Is there any better way to do it? Or can I bring the save as mht option in the context menu?
Is SAP addressing it any soon?
Also is there any way to send graphs in addition to the tables via the 'distribute as email option"?
Cheers
Anand

When you broadcast using the standard template the template '0QUERY_TEMPLATE_BROADCASTING' is used for broadcasting. This template only has a navigation block and table item, this is the reason why the chart is not displayed in this template. If you create a custom template for broadcasting which has chart item in it you will be able to get the chart displayed (it will be always displayed.) See the attached link for custmoizing.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/0e044017355c0ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm
You can also override this behaviour if you attach the query to a custom web template, in this case when you broadcast you will get exactly what you see in the current report.

Migrating to Oracle Reports 6i from Oracle Report 9i

Hi all,
We re-compiled original Forms & Reports 6i source code with Oracle 9i Forms & Reports.
Forms are working really nice with almost no change at all with Oracle 9ias Forms services and Oracle 8i as db. The Oracle 9ias server is W2k. Will be upgrading to oracle 9i db in a short time.
The only change we applied to forms source code was the function to call reports. We are using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() instead of RUN_PRODUCT.
i.e. the URl is formed in all reports as
http://ip_address:port/reports/rwservlet?DESTYPE=cache&DESFORMAT=PDF&userid=user/passwd@dbname&report=f:\web\formas\ametas\REP_DET_METAS_DPTO.REP&estrategia_par='08'&centro_par=249&depto_par=27100&anio_par=2003&TRIMESTRE_PAR=1
At the beginning we used directly the 6i reports but they were running inconsistently, after several calls to reports they got stock and we did need to reboot report services.
Then as a suggestion we re-build only two reports in reports 9i for testing. But same result when running in combination with 6i reports. Combination means, sometimes called 6i reports someothers reports in 9i.
The reports run fine several times but inconsistently. What I mean is that they can be running normaly many times and suddenly the reports server sends this message
REP-50002:Server is shutting down
DBA reported this issue to our local support but they said configuration is ok.
In other tests and only running 9i reports it seems not getting stock never, at least we run two 9i reports more than 40 times. So the problem seems to be when we run 9i reports in combination with 6i reports. We are planning to migrate all our reports but this mean to rebuild all reports again.
Is someone facing this kind of problem?
Or is this the only solution? Losting men/machine hours rebuilding the reports.
Any suggestion for my DBA to check in configuration?

Sorry for the confusion the subject for this issue should be
Migrating to Oracle Reports 9i from Oracle Reports 6i

Values returned from oracle reports

hello,
i want to write a program which comunicates with
oracle report builder. passing arguments to oracle
reports is no problem but is it possible to get
return values from oracle reports so that i can
proceed with them in my java application.
thank you
thorsten lorenz

Hi Stewart,
thank you for your answer. I think i'll try this
approach. I will start the runtime-Version of Oracle Reports
from java with parameters. exec(param 1,param 2). The only
thing returned is an integer indicating if this call
to reports was successfull. but with your idea i think
i got a nice workaround.
Greetings
Thorsten Lorenz
