    I Try with Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll version 10.0.40219.329 (Report Viewer 2010) and with version 11.0.40219.329. (Report Viewer 2012).

  • Report Generate to File PDF, HTML,Excel and Others Format

    Dear Experts,
    I am using Oracle 9i and Developer 6i. How I convert report in PDF, HTML, Excel and others format after generating the report. When i try to generate, then giving the following error message:
    REP-0999: Unimplemented Error.
    How can I solve it, Please help me.

    Do the column headings display ok but the data does not?
    If so it may be related to the font size. i.e. the whole report may not fit on the page when scaled for pdf output.

  • Generating reports in RTF and Excel on Sun Solaris

    hi,
    Could any one of u out there kindly tell me if it is possible to generate reports in RTF and Excel formats on a Report Server running in Sun Solaris machine. We use Reports 6i.
    Because I am able to generate a report in RTF format on report running in Windows NT machine, but on Solaris i get a message that the Reports Server terminated abnormally!.
    Thanks,
    Prabhu S

    Could you please tell us whether you fllowed any special procedures
    or made some specific settings to launch RTF reports ?Can't help much, I'm afraid. The report and web server settings were
    all made before I got here, and are not visible to me.
    We can get RTF from report builder/generate-to-file and when running
    reports on the web. Our servers are all Sun/Solaris boxes, although
    we display on DOS boxes. Excel we get from a program, not from the
    report server.
    Report builder 6.0.8.10.1, database claims to be 8.1.7.0.0.
    Sorry I can't help much more than saying "yes, it can be done".

  • How to test a generated report in my application by using web test written with Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate

    Hello,
    My application generates report in different formats, such as: Adobe, Excel, XML, CSV and HTML
    I have a webtest that makes all preparations, then generates a report. 
    In my application I have an option either to save the new generated report or open it.
    When I try to open the new report, the web test doesn't see it and therefore not allows me to test it.
    Please refer me to knowledge base or let me know how to resolve this type of issues.
    Thanks.
    qatm

    Hi qatm,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Since this web performance test is used to verify the Http request/respond work correctly in VS, and the browser session is then displayed as a list of URLs in the Web Performance Test Editor.
    However, as you said that you want to test a generated report in my application by using web performance test in VS2012 Ultimate. If the report is not as the Http format, so I think that it is not possible to test a generated report by using web performance
    test.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • Generate report in pdf in rute specifics??

    Hi, I have a form whit a button to generate report in pdf, works fine, but i want that when the user press the button, a window opened and the user choose where want to save the pdf...
    I think that i need some libs but i dont know, and i dont know the code to insert in button to open this window.
    Please Help

    Hi there
    Firstly what version are you running of Forms/Reports?
    Secondly, if you are running 9i/10g, when the PDF document is presented, the user will be able to save it in a location of their choice. When you call the report you can tell the app server where to save a copy of the file, but you will have to keep in mind that the location will be relative to the app server and not the client machine. Besides the results are normally cached on the app server, so all you will have to do is remember the job id and request the results again via a http call.
    Cheers

  • Download to excel from web report generated through ITS

    We were on SAP 4.6B. We have several abap reports for which we have a web interface using ITS. On the broweser output we have provided a URL which reads 'Download to CSV file' . This has been achieved by modifying the function www_get_report. The mod first generates a unique filename and exports the name to the memory and generates the hyperlink. The abap report program ftp'ies a the csv file to the ITS server path as in the URL.
    Now we have upgraded to ECC 5.0 and we want to achieve the download to CSV option without the modification. What would be the best way to achieve this in the netweaver platform.

    Sofia,
    The same report query runs for downloading the data into excel, I don't think you can limit the number of records in download.
    You can achieve it using custom code, like on click of download excel redirect to another page and then restrict the data as per your need, or you can use the custom procedure to download the limited data.
    Denes' utility to download into excel.

  • SOAP Messaging Using Crystal Reports Web Services To Return Report in PDF or Excel Format

    All,
    I am trying to use SOAP messaging to fetch a Crystal Report through a Managed repository and getting back either a PDF or Excel file. For some reason, any reference to web services on this site I cannot access. Like thread, "Using Web Services on the Crystal Report Server XI to return reports".  Can anyone point in a direction to Web Service Calls API documentation or does this not exist ?????? I would hope this product has this capability.
    Thanks In Advance,
    Tom

    XI Release 2 Service Pack 2 introduced the Business Process BI Web Services, that allow you to retrieve reports using SOAP messaging.
    It's documented here:

  • Generating Report in PDF Format.

    Hi All,
    How can I configure Report Server to generate all my Reports in PDF Destination Format? I am using Oracle 10g.
    In 6i, it used to be FORMS60_REPFORMAT parameter. Is there any equivalant in 10g? Where can I set it? or Is there any other way to configure Report Server?
    I may set desformat in rp2rro.pll but I would like to have it at Report Server level.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    If you want to run all your reports using a generic file, then use web.show_document within Forms and set your desformat for each report in the cgicmd.dat file (in Oracle_home/reports/conf directory) on the App Server.
    Please be warned that any change to this file will require bouncing the report server (or the app server as I sometimes find it doesn't always pick up the changes).

    Go to the cache directory and see if you can open the report directly from here (not in IE).
    I have seen posts on problems with Acrobat Reader Plugin for IE (I believe it was version 6 of Reader).

  • Save as PDF or Excel from BOE

    Is it possible to save an Xcelsius chart that has been exported to BOE and is in a dashboard to a pdf or Excel file?  This is a popular feature for Webi reports, but it seems to be unavailable for Xcelsius/SWF documents. 
    We can print using the Print button in Xcelsius 2008, but we don't have Acrobat Professional installed so printing to a PDF is not an option.
    Does anyone know a workaround that does not involve purchasing additional software?
    Does anyone know when SAP will include this feature in Xcelsius?

    it's possible to export the data to Excel but it's difficult to say the least. please see the link below for 3 options depending on your particular situation.

  • Programmatically generate password for pdf with data from database

    Good day everyone,
      I would like to know is it possible to programmatically generate passwords for pdf??
    The main idea is to enable an automated process of pdf acquiring individualised password from a database (Excel, Access, you name it) and finally sending the pdf to individual recipient. Can I use javascript for this? And if yes, how?? If not, pls do advice me on the appropriate steps.
    Background (for clarity's sake): 
      Currently I am working on developing an automated process for the sending customised, password encrypted payslip to about 80 staff. The entire procedure is pretty much summarized as below:
    mail merg (UBS output in) excel to words -> convert words to pdf -> programmatically password encrypt the pdf -> email to individual recipients.
    Well my current status is - I am quite done with the batch mail merge and convertion part. And batch proccessing of password encryption is not a problem, but the idea is to allow acrobat to retrieve password automatically from a database and not key-in each and every password manually. The batch email for now is another problem but for now I have to work stepwise. (Any ideas on how to do it would equally be valued though! =D)
    System and software using:
    Windows  XP and 7 Professional
    Microsoft Office Proffesional 2010
    Adobe Acrobat X Pro
    I would be really grateful for any relevant replies to my question and any additional thoughts or ideas are welcome!!
    I would to thank any potential saviour in advance!
    Thank you for helping!

    Basically I need to automate the password generation from database extract
    e.g. Excel database with StaffID, StaffName, PayMonth, etc. Then when the pdf is created, its password would be <StaffID>_<PayMonth> which is extracted from excel.
    Is it possible for this to happen?? I dont mine using Javascript, I'll just have to learn it.
    Or how about recommending a program which does that??
    Whichever is fine as long there's a solution!
    Thanks!

  • Generate report to PDF problem; font or layout problem

    Hi all,
    I have this report that look fine.
    But when I generate this report to PDF one of the column which supposed to show date information become "******" in the PDF version.
    Normally I would try to modify the report by changing its font to smaller one or expanding the field to accomodate longer string.
    The problem is i don't have the RDF file.
    So i need to know how to make the PDF i'm generating looks the same as the the original one i'm generating the PDF from.
    btw The report is made with Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3, and running on oracle database 10g.
    Thank you.

    hello Gouri,
    basically I just wish the PDF version of the report looks exactly like the one generated by reports runtime.
    When I run the report all data is shown properly.. But the PDF version i generated from that failed to show one the column properly. Instead of showing the data the PDF version replace it with ******.
    How come?
    Is this the same kind of problem where the printed result differ from what it look on the sreen?
    Is it adobe reader problem?

  • Generating report to pdf

    Greetings all,
    I have a report that is being called from a form. The report runs no problem, and comes in the previewers. However, when I try to use the "Generate to File" option, the report blows up(some machines throw a Dr. Watson error, others just through an Application Error). To make this more interesting, if the report is run through the development tool, it generates to pdf without a problem.
    Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, what is the fix?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi Chris
    I suggest you apply Reports and Forms Integrated patch on your setup. You can download the patch from metalink site.
    Thanks
