Generate Sql Trace in oracle reports

Hi,
My Reports version is 10.1.2.0.2 and I would like to see the trace files of the sql queries that are executed while generating a report using rwbuilder.
I tried using a Formula column, with
SRW.DO_SQL('ALTER SESSION SET SQL_TRACE=TRUE');
return(1);
Also, I enable system level trace to capture anything and everything that is being fired into DB from reports.
I tried,
ksh rwthinclient.sh report=$REPORT_FILE_PATH/Journal.rdf server=$REPORT_SERVER userid=$ORAUSERID/$ORAPASSWD@$REPORT_DATABASE destype=cache desformat=pdf TRACEFILE=ver1.trc TRACEOPTS=trace_all TRACEMODE=trace_replace RUN_DATE=$CurDate;
I do not get trace at all. Kindly help me out.

How to look at the SQL trace in Oracle

Hi,
How do we look for the SQL trace in Oracle?
With SQL trace I mean all the SQL statements being executed in Oracle database ( including select ).
Thanks........

Thanks for a quick reply nbellam. I wonder if there is a way to find out the date and time when the sql was executed?

Adding a field to an sql statement in Oracle Reports error ORA-00933

We have been requested to add a field that already exists in the table referred to by the sql statement in Oracle Reports Builder. The report was set up by a consultant about 3 yrs ago and we don't really have much skill in this area. What is happening when I try to modify the SQL statement, either adding a field or deleting a field to the SELECT statement, causes an error message preventing the statement from being saved. The only way out of the error message is to click Cancel. The error message is
ORA-00933:SQL command not properly ended
ORDER BY Program ==> NAME
Even adding or deleting a space anywhere in the SQL statement causes the error (not adding any new fields). A coworker found that if we comment out the ORDER BY, the statement will accept the new field in the SELECT section, however then we lose the order by functionality. I would like to add one additional field before the FROM. Not sure if any additional data are needed. Thank you.

Hi Denis,
I tried your suggestion. The good thing is that adding the comma allowed me to be able to add a.campus to the select statement, unfortunately, another error message happened.
ORA-00936: missing expression SELECT p . person_uid PIDM_KEY ,
p . id_number , p . full_name_lfmi name , p . BIRTH_DATE , p . GENDER Sex ,
Decode ( a . residency , 'D' , p . Primary_Ethnicity , 'F' ) Ethn , a . academic_period TERM ,
CASE WHEN : P_group_by = 'PROGRAM THEN a I started over and tried only putting in the comma and get the same message even though I didn't add campus. After that, removed the comma which led to the ORA-00933 error message. So once again, I had to close the file without saving, in order for the report to run at all.

Unable to generate SQL trace file on a 10.2.0.1.0 database

Hello,
I am unable to generate SQL trace files on a 10.2.0.1.0 database (OS is Win2003 server 64 bits).
First I tried the way I used to do it on older databases (8i and 9i) :
execute dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session(sid, serial#, true);
I got no error, but no file was created in the user dump dest directory.
Then I've been searching and I've tried other things :
- I changed the user_dump_dest parameter
- I changed the tracefiles_public parameter value to "true", by modifying the init.ora file
- I tried another package :
exec dbms_monitor.session_trace_enable(139)
Nothing worked, I can't create any trace file...
Does anyone have an idea about this issue ?
thank you for you help !
Antoine

Hello,
thank you all for replying.
I have 2 instances on this machine, and I've just realized that with the other one I have no problem to generate sql trace files as usual.
But why the hell is it impossible on the first instance ? What difference between the 2 instances can explain this ?
This is pretty weird...
Otherwise I am experiencing serious performance problems on the instance where I can't creat trace files, there must be something wrong with it, but I can't figure it out

Antoine

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!

SQL Trace in Oracle

Hello,
I am a Software Engineer using Oracle 9i Client. We have a website which is using ASP at front-end,Oracle as a back-end and some dll which is created in VC++. This dll will interact with oracle. When the ASP pages gets executed, it will execute the dll which in turn execute the oracle SQL's. So, I want to see SQL statements which are executed in Oracle. This type of feature is available in MS SQL Server 2000 tool called Profiler.

Passing SQL-Parameters to Oracle-Reports from java

hello,
i want to write an application in the following way:
on a java-frontend an user can select values for different
parameters. these values should be to transferred to the sql-
query of the reports rdf file. what is the syntax of an
parameter passed from java to oracle reports.
does this work with runtime.exec()... ?
does anybody have an example.
any help would be very appreciated.
greetings
Thorsten Lorenz

In order to pass the parameters to report rdf, you can create user parameters in the oracle report builder, hook up the parameters with query. For example, you can create user parameter P_DEPTNO, then create a sql query: select * from dept where deptno = :P_DEPTNO. When you run this report, you give P_DEPTNO=10 as parameter, the rdf will generate report that only prints out department 10's information.
Once you have this kind of report created, you have several ways to achieve what you want.
1. use rwrun60. In your java program, you can invoke rwrun60 via runtime.exec(cmd) where cmd = rwrun60 report=dept.rdf userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname=dept.pdf p_deptno=<value_from_java_app>
2. similarly, use rwcli60. the cmd would be:
cmd = rwcli60 server=repserver report=dept.rdf userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname=dept.pdf p_deptno=<value_from_java_app>
3. use rwcgi60. Instead of using runtime.exec, you should use java URL object to run the report in the web environment.
option 2 & 3 takes advantage of powerful functionality of reports server, and it is much more scale than option 1.

How to generate Excel files in Oracle Reports

Hi,
I've already built a JSP using oracle reports and Deploy on the report service. I also add a button to the left of the JSP.The next thing I want to do is:when user click on the button, the system will prompt a excel file contains the same content as the JSP file.
Can anybody teach me how to do? Thanks very much

Hi Ni,
It may not be possible to see the output of the SAME report in Excel as well. You will have to design another report which can open in Excel. You can follow this demo:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/excel/index.html
Then you can add an action to your button so that it opens the new report in a new browser window. This new browser window will open MS Excel and show the report inside Excel.
The reason that you can't output the SAME report in HTML as well as MS Excel is because we use page contentType to specify the application that the browser should open the document in (the application can be MS Word, MS Excel, etc). For example,
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
But we can only specify one contentType for a JSP, so the report can either be viewed as HTML or inside MS Excel.

Unable to generate SQL trace file in shared mode ??

Hello,
I have a 10.2.0.1.0 database on Win2003 server 64 bits, with several instances.
On instances in dedicated mode, I can create trace files by using dbms_system.set_sql_trace_in_session, but on instances in shared mode nothing happens : no file is created in the udump directory.
This doesn't make any sense to me o_O
The shared parameters are the following :
dispatchers=(protocol=TCP)
shared_servers=1
I've checked all the necessary parameters to create a trace file (user_dump_dest, timed_statistics, max_dump_file_size...) and everything is fine.
I really don't understand why I can't create trace files when the instance is in shared mdoe...
Can anyone help about this weird issue ?
thank you !
regards,
Antoine

Remember also that in Shared Server mode the trace information is not written to a single file but is written to the Shared Server trace file. Before Oracle 10g there was no way to pull all the trace information for a single user session together out of the trace files. There is a tool for doing so with 10g.

How to open new window and generate oracle report from apex

Hi,
I had created an application that generates PDF files using Oracle Reports, following this Guide.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html
And I followed 'Advanced Technique', so that users can't generate PDF file by changing URL and parameters. This is done for security reasons.
But in this tutorial, when 'Go' button is pressed, the PDF file is displayed on the same window of apex application. If so, user might close the window by mistake. In order to avoid this, another window have to be opened.
So, I put this code in the BRANCH - URL Target. (Note that this is not in Optional URL Redirect in the button property, but the branch which is called by the button.)
javascript:popupURL('&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.')
But if the button is pressed, I get this error.
ERR-1777: Page 2100 provided no page to branch to. Please report this error to your application administrator.
Restart Application
If I put the code 'javascritpt ....' in the Optional URL Redirect, another window opens successfully, but the Process to generate report job is not executed.
Does anyone know how to open new window from the Branch in this case?

G'day Shohei,
Try putting your javascript into your plsql process using the htp.p(); procedure.
For example, something along these lines should do it:
BEGIN
-- Your other process code goes here...
htp.p('<script type="javascript/text">');
htp.p('popupURL("&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.")');
htp.p('</script>');
END;
What happens is the javascript is browser based whereas your plsql process is server based and so if you put the javascript into your button item Optional URL Redirect it is executed prior to getting to the page plsql process and therefore it will never execute the process. When you have it in your branch which normally follows the processes, control has been handed to the server and the javascript cannot be executed and so your page throws the error "Page 2100 provided no page to branch to"... By "seeding" the plsql process with the embedded javascript in the htp.p() procedure you can achieve the desired result. You could also have it as a separate process also as long as it is sequenced correctly to follow your other process.
HTH
Cheers,
Mike

Migration from SQL Reports to Oracle Reports

Hello everybody,
We have a requirement where we need to convert various SQL
reports in .SQL format to Oracle reports ie rdf format. Is there
a quick solution for this? Is there a tool available? Or is the
straight forward approach of starting an entirely new report the
only option available.
Awaiting your replies,
