Generating BIP report in RTF format generates blank report

Hi all,
When generating a BIP report in RTF format the report output is blank!?
If I run the report in any other format the report displays the data correctly.
We're running siebel 8.1.1.2 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1.
When looking at the size of the report when the 'File Download' window appears it seem like the report contains data as the size is 62KB, compared to the pdf format which do display data is 20KB. The output generates the amount of pages that is needed for the report, but all pages are blank.
The report is an activity List report with just one for-each statement in it.
Has anybody come across the same?
Regards,
Hakan

Hi alka,
To invoke Word automatically, use command
line options DESTYPE=CACHE,
DESFORMAT=RTF and MIMETYPE=application/msword.
This is an example URL: http://webserver:80/cg-bin/rwcgi60.exe?module
=test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@mydb&
destype=cache&desformat=rtf&mimetype=application/msword&server=myrepserver
1. Check the appropriate mimetype setting for Word by Starting Windows Explorer,
choose View -> Options from the menu, go to the File Type tab, find Microsoft
Word Document in this list, click Edit, and get the value for Content Type
(MIME). This is the value that needs to be used in the MIMETYPE command line
option, and it will typically be application/msword, but may differ on
different machines.

Report in RTF format not displaying

We are trying to produce a 9iAS Rel2 9.0.2.x report in RTF format. Trying to bring this report up in IE produces the following popup box:
Internet Explorer cannot download rwservlet?config=test from host.domain.com
IE was not able to open this internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found.
Using other formats (HTML, PDF) for this report work fine.
Windows has .RTF mapped to be opened in Word.
The config entry includes:
destype = cache
desformat = RTF
mimetype = application/rtf
Any ideas as to what is wrong?

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.

Report 10g RTF format does not open on Windows XP SP2 IE 6

When the desformat is PDF, the report runs fine and launches out to a new window with the document displayed. However, when the format is changed to RTF, the report is not displayed and it appears to be blocked by a popup blocker. I do not have any third party popup blocker installed (Google Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar, etc.). The built-in IE 6 popup blocker is turned off. I even went through a Microsoft article, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/843016, to insure the blocker is turned off in each security zone. Yet the report going to RTF still appears to be blocked and the report going to PDF works fine. That makes me think it may not be a popup blocker.
I have verified RTF files open fine through windows explorer, they open fine from a html page with a link to a RTF, they also open fine if I use javascript to auto-redirect a page to an RTF file.
The report is generated to cache and then opened with a web.show_document if that matters.
Forms/Reports Version: 10.1.2.0.2
JInitiator Version: 1.3.1.22
Does anyone have any other ideas please?

I actually already found the solution in other post: [Solved] Problem with Web.show_document
But thanks anyway!

Report Server: RTF format on Solaris gives Core Dump

We have Report Server 6.0.8.11.2 on Solaris.
We are running reports thru URL and it is working fine for PDF and HTML. When we specify the desformat as RTF it gives Segmentation Fault Core dumped.
We have tried using rwcli60 thru command line and it gives the same error, while PDF and HTML format is fine.
Is there a patchset for Solaris for the same or are we missing on some parameter?

Hello,
I have found a similar problem, I think the problem my be with your acrobat settings.
On Acrobat 5. open an existing pdf file. Then on the menu go to Edit\Preferences\General. => A new screen should pop-up, click on 'Options' on the left hand side, and then check out your WEB OPTIONS. I tend to untick the 'Display PDF in Browser' and leave the others ticked.
I hope this helps.

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 open Report output in RTF format using concurrent request form.

Hi
I have created a report using BI publisher and RTF format. This report is working fine in PDF format. User can submit report using consurrent request form and can see report preview in PDF format.
Now user wants to submit another request and wants to see report output in RTF format.
User submitted a request, request successfully completed and generated a output RTF file in unix box but when user wants to see report output using concurrent request form (View Output) then window is showing raw data instead of RTF output.
Can any body tell me about solutions?
Thanks
Ravi

Hi Ravi
I did little R&D on it and found following 2 solutions.I am sure that you also find something but for my shake i am putting it here.If you already find the solution then ignore it.
I) 1st Solution
1)Change the profiles 'Viewer: Application for Text' and put value as 'Browser'
2) Change the profiles 'Viewer: Text' and put value as 'Browser'.Either change it system level or concerned user.
3) Log out from Current session and close all internet explorer application.
4) Log in again to check the result
II) 2nd Solution
1) Navigate to: Sys admin --> Install -> Viewer Options to open the Form "Viewer Options".
Do the entry as shown below:
File_Format     Mime Type               Description
RTF          application/rtf Microsoft Word(.rtf)
RTF          application/msword          Microsoft Word(.rtf)
2) Then ensure that the profile option Viewer: Application for Text is set to BLANK at the Site Level and User Level.
3) Then ensure that the profile option Viewer: Text is set to 'browser' at the Site Level.
-- It will pop-up the screen to choose application name from above two values.
Hope this will work it for you. For me i replicated the scenario and both solutions were working for me.
With Best Regards

WebI report in rtf/doc format using BO XI R3

Hi,
Is it possible to generate webi/deski reports in rtf/word doc using Report Engine SDK(Java). I am able to generate pdf and xls using OutputFormatType.PDF and OutputFormatType.XLS like below.
binaryView = (BinaryView)documentInstance.getView(OutputFormatType.XLS);
binaryView = (BinaryView)documentInstance.getView(OutputFormatType.PDF);
I think i can generate XML too using the above method. But i would like to generate word/rtf and if possible TXT too.
I am using BO XI 3.1.
Thanks in advance

Hi Shameer,
Unfortunately, RTF or Word is not a valid format with WebI or DeskI documents.
Please kindly refer to the SupportedViews Interface documentation of the API Reference for the Report Engine Java SDK.
The Report Engine Java SDK API Reference for XI 3.x is can be downloaded from the following link:

Wordpad object in rtf format - XML publisher

We are trying to insert a Wordpad OLE object(Printer Signature Escape code Sequence) in the xml template and trying to generate the xml report in rtf format. When we generate the report or preview in rtf format the inserted Object Contents are not displaying. Any one faced this issue in xml publisher.
This is what I did.
1.Open the XML template. In Word under Insert option Selected Object . Select the object type as Word Pad Object(In Create new Tab). Type somethinng.. I typed this as printer escapecode sequence ~(4B~(s1p53v0s
2.Loaded the XML data and tried to preview in RTF format the Object disappears and nothing displays in the place of Obejct.
When I preview in PDF format this displays. but PDF format is not supported by our troy printer.
This is we are doing to get the signature with printer escape code. It would be great if any one have any alternatives?. They are not going to give the Signature as an image.

This is the General XML forum.
The homepage description says :
Discussion of the general XML language, standards (XSLT, XQuery, XMLSchema, etc.) and application management issues, suggestions and tips.
The BI Publisher forum is here :BI Publisher
So please mark this post as answered and ask again over there.
