Generating barcode with reports 10g

I need to generate a report (developer 10g) with a barcode. I´m following the instructions on a paper but I need to import a Java Class which I can´t find oracle.apps.barcode.util.BarCodeConstants and oracle.apps.barcode.BarCodeMaker. Do I need to download oraclebarcode.jar? Where can I find it?

Hello,
You'll can find the jar file oraclebarcode.jar in the zip file :
Building Reports sample files
This zip contains sample files for all the examples in the Oracle Reports Building Reports manual.

Generating barcode with Report Builder 10g

Hello,
I am migrating a number of reports from 6i to 10g which contain barcodes. These get displayed as a series of *** at the client browser.
So I guess I may need to install the barcode javabean. So I am using the instructions http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13895_01/orbr_barcode.htm. Unfortunately I am stuck on the first step of importing the java class oracle.apps.barcode.util.BarCodeConstants. I have tried adding the path for oraclebarcode.jar to my registry but it doesn't help. Should I be seeing ".apps" below the oracle class?
Thanks in advance

Hi DC or user638801 ,
Did you ever try this on UNIX server. Coz I tried this before 3 weeks. But this did not work.
If this works in UNIX Server please let me know so that I will try once again.

Re: Barcode in Reports 10g

I know this is an old post,
Barcode in Reports 10g
but I am facing the same problem here. Using reports 11.1.2.1, running on a Linux server.
I have set this on <domain>config/FRComponent/frcommon/guicommon/tk/admin/uifont.ali:
XYZFONT = "XYZFONT.afm XYZFONT.pfa"
But generated PDF reports are not embedding the fonts, since I need to have them installed on the computer to see the barcode. I understand the parameter PDFEMBED is set to true by default. But my reports are called from Oracle Forms. How can I be sure the parameter is correct? What else could I check?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
The steps related to PDF Subsetting and PDF embedding are "extra" steps that occur after the step "Report formatting ".
In order to take into account the line :
XYZFONT = "XYZFONT.afm XYZFONT.pfa"
the font used during the step "Report formatting " must be XYZFONT .
Did you test to generate the Report with DESFORMAT=HTML ?
Check in the HTML output the font name used for the "Barcode Field".
For more details , you can refer to the document :
Troubleshooting Guide for Font Aliasing / Font Subsetting / Font Embedding Issues (Doc ID 350971.1)
Kind regards

Generating barcode with AI's (Application Identifiers)

Hello all,
I am facing an issue with the generation of barcode with AI's. I have a requirement to generate barcode with the data which concatenates 3 different fields and to differentiate those three fields, AI's (Application Identifiers) or DFI's (Data Field Indicators) must be used.
Ex: (01)12445545(17)020200(10)8823344
here (01),(17) and (10) are the AI's. Can any one provide a solution to encode this kind of data and generate barcode using EAN-128 font. Did any one worked on this kind of requirement in BI Publisher earlier ?
Its urgent. Please help.
Thank you,
Vasantha

Hi Tim,
I have tried with several ways to encode the total string using the java class as mentioned in the xmlpublisher blogs but could not able to generate a correct barcode. I have also gone through the IDAutomation site and found few ways of encoding the data.
I have used BarcodeUtil.java and used the code128 method to encode the data and applied the code128 font to it.
Placed these two commands in the RTF.
<?register-barcode-vendor:'oracle.apps.xdo.template.rtf.util.barcoder.BarcodeUtil';'XMLPBarVendor'?>
<?format-barcode:BARCODE_DATA;'code128a';'XMLPBarVendor'?>
In the xml data, for the BARCODE_DATA column, I have concatenated the three fields by trying the following different formats as shown below. (by looking at the ID Automation examples).
Original data: (01)12445545(17)020200(10)8823344
Data that I gave for the field:
1) ~2120112445545~21217020200~212108823344
2) Ê0112445545Ê17020200Ê108823344
But the barcode which was generated was not correct in both the ways 1) and 2). I tried to compare this barcode with the barcode that was generated online from the IDAutomation site for the same example data.
Can anyone suggest any method to handle this kind of data in XMLP. if possible, please provide a sample example.
Thanks in Advance.
Vasantha.

XML Publisher is not integrating with Reports 10g Concurrent program

Hello,
I created report in reports 10g. Saved report in the custom_top/reports/US. Created a concurrent program for the report with output as XML. Created a Data Definition with the same short name as the concurrent program and created a template used the same short name as the Data Definition, associated template with the data definition. Uploaded the .rtf file to the template.

Which label printers work with Reports 10g?

Hi,

With Reports 10G can you customize you message and stop formatting?

Oracle, states to come here for answer. they said, OTN should be able to help.
If any one knows how this can be done can you please help me out?
thanks,
We were told this was fixed with 10G so we upgraded to 10G. We have a
report and we want it to execute if it's less than 10 records if not we want a
message to come up that the report needs to be scheduled.
Well we run the report and it displays exceeded record count but the format
still runs so no time saved on the web.
If the record count was exceeded we want to HALT the system and not go any
farther.
Now if we could modify the system message 1825 we would be o.k. But we don't
know if that is going to work. If we could change the message we would be
o.k. with that. that would mean changing the system codes though.
### How is the Report being called (Command line, URL or via Oracle Forms): ###
If false comes back in the beginning then we don't want any report formatting
to be done. Right now the format is done it seems but no data is displayed
because criteria isn't met.
So we dont wnat the formatting to be run when criteria isn't met. But for
some
reason it still runs and takes time.
See we have some reports on the web that can only be ran by date range right
now the clients can only run the reports for a 6 months range.. Well some
clients have a lot smaller record count. So we want to change the way the
reports are ran to a records count. If the count is large than said amount
then a message comes up that states the report has to be scheduled. If the
amount is under said amount then the report runs.
So at this time in the report we do a count then we move onto will the report
run or not if over the amount we want to abort the process but we don't want
the client to see the abort. We definately don't want the client to sit and
wait for the format to run when NO Data is to be returned.
### Error messages and error scenario: ###
So what we want is too see a message "Schedule the report count exceeded" and
NO formatting done. If under amount we want the report to run.
### Provide a detailed step-by-step description of your problem or question: ###
Or is there a way to customize the messages the client / users will see. And
no formatting time for no records returned.

21-SEP-04 15:38:39 GMT
Hi Darlene!!
As talked to you on phone, here are the steps for you to try.
The below has been run as a test case using emp table in scott schema of a database
1) create a summary coloumn say cs_1 in the data model.
2) point the function to count.
3) Point the source to what ever's count you want it to be pointed to(say empno of emp table of
scott schema)
4) create a user parameter say NO_ROWS
5) in its property palette make its data type number and initial value as 1
6) I had teh following query for my report:
select empno, ename from emp
where rownum <= :no_rows
This means that the report that will be generated will consist of a total no of NO_ROWS(that we
shall be specifying at run time). The before report trigger(mentioned in 7 below) shall assure
that whenever we specify NO_ROWS greater than 5 then the report will display a customized pop up
message.
7) create a before report trigger as:
function BeforeReport return boolean is
user_excp EXCEPTION;
begin
if :cs_1 >5 then
raise user_excp;
return (false);
else
return true;
end if;
EXCEPTION
WHEN user_excp then
SRW.MESSAGE(30, 'Data is more please schedule this report:');
raise SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT;
return (false);
end;
This way when u run a report, an argument is asked whether how many rows do you want to be
displayed as in the parameter NO_ROWS. then you specify the number. If that number is greater
than 5(in this case, due to if :cs_1 > 5 then....) then it will pop up a message saying "Data is
more please schedule this report:"
In case you do not want to specify NO_ROWS..then you need not put that and modify the report
query as "select empno, empname from emp;" i.e. without where clause.

New info : Information from the person that did this suggestion step by step.
I tried this step by step, but unfortunately, it doesn't work the way we want.
First with this suggestion, the user needs to choose how many records they
want
to get, or we default a number of records, in order to run the report. The most
important thing is, whenever you specify the statement return false or raise
SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT in the before report trigger, the system message will pop up.
I really hope that people from Oracle would let us know how to customize the
system message or hide it.

New info : I just thought that we have some sort of message, which I guess is

The some sort of message looks like this on dev box:
Your search exceeded 5000 records and will surpass the capabilities of this
connection. Please narrow the search criteria and resubmit.
It's just a thought, not sure if it's going to work.

I am sorry to say that but I don't think there is any any workaround to this because the system message is what is generated by the oracle reports i
nternally. Still if you wish you may refer to the otn discussion forum which is
maintained by teh product management group and post a new thread on it. the link
to the forum is Reports
Also since nothing can be done on our side I don't see any reason to keep this TAR open an
d if you wish we can soft close this.
Thanks

Ajit.
New info : Shouldn't there always be a way to do something? I don't understand
why we were told in 10G that this could be done and now we are told it can't.

Barcode in Reports 10g

Hello!
I use IDAutomationHC39M.ttf font to show barcode.
Then i generate the rtf file in server and open it i see numbers instead of barcode.
What can be a problem?

Hello Dsegard,
thanks again for your tip.
I have managed to perform embeding.
In the meanwhile i have also followed the paper in OTN, and create a java bean that displays image with the barcode.
Both ways, i have one huge problem... i have 3 barcode readers (one is really good, other two are common ones), which DO not read the barcodes generated in my PDFs. Maybe i'm doing wrong (resizing font, picture that displays font etc.)?
Can you please advise me regarding this issue?
Thank you once again,

Oracle report 10g vs Oracle Forms 11g

Hi,
My application run on Oracle 10g with Oracle Forms&Report 10g
I have to modify a report file which was saved by oracle report 11g.
When I open the file with Oracle Report 10, I have the following warning : "Avertissement ! Ouverture d'un rapport enregistré avec une version plus récente. Risque de perte de fonctionnalité. Continuer ?" (translation : "The file opened was saved with a more recent version of Oracle Report. You may lose some information. Continue ?").
What kind of information I may lose ?
Can I modify my file on Oracle Report 11g and compile it in Oracle Report 10g ?
Or
Can I modify my file on Oracle Report 11g and compile it in Oracle Report 11g and run it on Oracle Report 10g ?
Thanks a lot.
Michel

Michel,
Question 1 - the file will no longer be useable with Reports 10g - you will loose everything.
Question 2 - No, newer versions of Oracle Forms and Reports are not backward compatible with older versions.
Question 3 - No, see answer to question 2.

Calling Reports 10g from Forms 10g without an app server

Hi
I have Forms 10g, and for development/testing purposes I am able to run a form in my local machine using the standalone OC4J. I needn't to deploy the form to test it.
I can do the same with Reports 10g -- run a report in my local machine without an app server.
However, I could not manage to call a Report from a Form that way, without an app server. It does not seem possible -- is it? Is there a way to set this up using the standalone OC4J or something like that?
Thanks

Hi
Sorry for the late reply.
Here's how you start the report server from windows XP machine.
1. Choose a unique name for the report server. Eg. <your_pc_name>_repserver
2. As the report server runs in its own process, it can be started by the following command, accessible from the \ bin directory of the
Oracle Developer Suite or Oracle Application Server 10g installation.
rwserver –install <server_name> . It is now treated as a windows service and hence you can stop/start or restart from the services menu.
3. If you want specific settings for your report server, look for the <rep_server_name>.conf file under <orahome>/reports/conf directory, after starting the server from above command. This file is created by oracle automatically, once the rep server gets started.
For more info on this, please refer to white papers on the Forms and reports integration, found on the otn->Forms.
Hope this helps

Generate barcode on paper layout PDF report - using IDAutomation

Hello,
Although i have asked in other threads, i please you to help me regarding this matter:
- i am generating PDF paper report (invoices to my clients).
- i need to print the barcodes on the invoices.
- i have used barcode fonts (i need 128 barcode font) and distributed the PDFs but the clients' machines do not read the barcodes properly when opening the PDF (just numbers, instead of the font).
- i have then edited the config files, so the barcode fonts to be embedded in the PDF (included in the registry path) but still when distributing the PDFs, the barcode is not displayed on regular machines, that do not have the barcode font installed.
The question is:
I am willing to purchase from IDAutomation their 128 barcode fonts. What to purchase?
- just the barcode fonts, and then i will be able in the end to embed the font in the PDF?
- or the barcode fonts with their PL/SQL package that will automatically embed the fonts in PDF?
Thank you so much,
Michael

If your machine can open the PDF barcode but your clients' can't, I'd first figure out the PDF stuff. Such as update clients' pdf software etc.
Think pdf barcode reports can be opened without the font installed. Though Reports Builder or Server needs the font installed to run/generate the report.

How to connect Forms 6i & Reports 6i with oracle 10g R2?

Hey everybody,
I need your help in connecting both Forms 6i & Reports 6i with Oracle 10g Release 2 db, MS Access(2003, 2007) and SQL database(Microsoft Visual Studio 2008). I am a newbie. I have installed all of them on my HP notebook, with Windows 7 Ultimate(32 bit OS) installed. I want to generate forms & reports by accessing data from above mentioned databases. Please provide me with the configuration steps.
Thanks in advance...!

Welcome to the forum ;-)
Please be sure to review the following:
http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/entry/10_commandments_for_the_otn_fo
First, I think it would be a good idea if we can understand why you have chosen to use a nearly new operating system yet install Oracle products that are 10 years old (i.e. Forms/Reports 6i) on it. In general, this is not a good idea. Although running such an old version on Win7 can be made to work, the possibility of having problems is likely. If you are infact new to the product, using a configuration where you are likely to have problems may not be a good starting place. Also, you should be aware that Forms/Reports 6i was desupported several years ago. Documentation and other information is gradually being replaced by newer information, so resources for this old version are going away. The latest version of Forms/Reports is part of Fusion Middleware 11R2 (version 11.1.2.0) and requires WebLogic Server 10.3.5 (or 10.3.6) in order to be installed.
Second, if you decide to stick with F/R 6i, are you planning to run the applications you create in a browser or as a client/server application? This information is important because how you connect to a database will slightly differ depending on which option you choose. Also, if you want to connect to non-Oracle data sources you can use ODBC for client/server or Oracle Transparent Gateway. However, if you plan to deploy the applications using a browser, Gateway is your only option for connecting to non-Oracle datasources. As for connecting to MS Access, I believe ODBC is your only option, so web deployment may not be an option.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/gateways.102/b14270/ch1.htm
There are many other references available. Try a Google search.
As for connecting to an Oracle database, this is generally easy. For the Builder(s) and client/server runtime to connect, add the db information to the tnsnames.ora found in the Oracle Home (installation directory) \network\admin. If you are unfamiliar with what goes in the file you can copy the entries created for your database. The db will have a similar file found in a similar place in its installation directory (Oracle Home). For example, you might find something like this:
ORCL =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = YOURSERVER.COM)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = orcl)
)Simply copy this information to the end of your tnsnames.ora found where Forms/Reports is installed then restart any running Forms or Builders.
