Generating pdf format report in Oracle Reports 6i

Hi everyone,
I am using Report 6i. I am trying to generate a report in pdf format on the web. My problem is only the labels are displayed, while the data is not displayed. No specific error is shown.
But the same report is working fine when generated in HTML format on the web.
Can anyone guide as to what may be the problem in generating this report in pdf format.
Thanks in advance.
Elizabeth

hi,
can you send the URL used to generate the report.

Displaying report in .pdf format while Running oracle reports over the web

I am running a report over the web via IE. I am suing .pdf
format as the file type. The problem I am facing is that the
report comes out with a blank in acrobat reader if there are
just one or two records - i.e less thatn one pagefull. THe
reports displays output only when there ar more than one
pagefull of records.
Any explanation for this bezarre behavior and any suggestions?
I will very much appreciate your help.
Regards
Prasad.

in R12 I found 2 choice
1) when submitting requests (if available) you can set the output format by using the Options button (upon sompletion section):
layout --> format --> select format you need (RTF/HTML/EXCEL/PDF)
2) in the request form (view->request) selecr the report you want to reprint in the Tools menu select print/republish, in the html page that pop up select output format you want, number of copies =1 submit

How to generate multiple output pdf's from one oracle reports

how to generate multiple output pdf's from one oracle reports.
I have a report where I have to generate more than one output files from the same report based on a parameter.
Each output file is for each parameter.
Is this possible in oracle reports, is so how ?

You can better post your question in the reports forum instead of this pl/sql forum.

PDF file created from Oracle Report is attached wrongly

Hi,
Please help. It is very urgent.
I am using Oracle Developer 10gR2, Oracle Report 10.1.2 on Windows 2000.
I would like to attach the PDF file created by Oracle Report to the Notification sent from Workflow.
I use the following package procedure in my Workflow.
procedure Create_File_Attachment (document_id   in varchar2, display_type in varchar2, document      in out blob, document_type in out varchar2)
is
     l_itemtype          varchar2(100);
     l_itemkey           varchar2(100);
     l_output_directory varchar2(30);
     l_filename          varchar2(255);
     src_loc             bfile;
     bdoc                blob;
     src_offset          number := 1;
     dst_offset          number := 1;
     amount              number;
begin
     l_itemtype := substr(document_id, 1, instr(document_id, ':') - 1);
     l_itemkey := substr(document_id, instr(document_id, ':') + 1, length(document_id) - 2);
     l_output_directory := 'USR_TMP_DIR';
     l_filename := Wf_Engine.GetItemAttrText(l_itemtype, l_itemkey, 'ATR_FILENAME');
     src_loc := bfilename(l_output_directory,l_filename);
     dbms_lob.createTemporary(bdoc, FALSE, dbms_lob.call);
     dbms_lob.fileopen(src_loc, dbms_lob.file_readonly);
     dbms_lob.loadblobfromfile(bdoc,src_loc,dbms_lob.lobmaxsize,src_offset,dst_offset);
     dbms_lob.fileclose(src_loc);
     amount := dbms_lob.getLength(bdoc);
     dbms_lob.copy(document,bdoc,amount,1,1);
     document_type := 'application/pdf; name=attach.pdf';
end Create_File_Attachment;Oracle Report created the PDF file correctly (original.pdf).
I tried to attach the PDF into my Workflow.
I can see the file is attached (attach.pdf), but it cannot be opened.
The Adobe shows : 'A drawing error occured.' each time I open the attachment.
I compare the original.pdf and the attach.pdf
However, there is one specific difference
- in original.pdf, the line started with '.' (single period)
in attach.pdf, the line is started with '..' (two periods)
Thus the attachment cannot be opened.
After I delete the period, it can be opened.
Question:
- Has someone ever succeed in attaching the PDF created from Report?
- Are the codes above is wrong?
- Or perhaps the DBMS_LOB.LOADBLOBFROMFILE always double the single period on front of the line?
- Is there any solution on this?
Note:
I have succeed in attaching PDF files unless the PDF created by the Report.
Sorry for the long post.
Please help. It is very urgent.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

The code looks absolutely good. I have the same code working in my system. Only difference is I use TRUE and DBMS_LOB.Session for the BLOB I use to read from the BFILE.
I can suggest one more way to handle to binary attachments if you are on Oracle 9i DB are later versions.
procedure attach_document (p_document_id   in varchar2,
                           p_display_type in varchar2,
                           p_document      in out nocopy clob,
                           p_document_type in out nocopy varchar2)
is
l_nid        number;
l_directory varchar2(100);
l_filename   varchar2(100);
l_content_type varchar2(100);
l_src_offset binary_integer := 1;
l_dst_offset binary_integer := 1;
l_err_msg    varchar2(100);
l_amount     number;
l_bfile BFILE;
l_blob BLOB;
l_clob CLOB;
file_not_found exception;
pragma EXCEPTION_INIT(file_not_found, -22288);
begin
l_nid := to_number(p_document_id);
l_directory := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_DIRECTORY'));
l_filename := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_FILENAME'));
l_content_type := trim(wf_notification.GetAttrText(l_nid, 'ATTR_CONTENT_TYPE'));
l_bfile := BFILENAME(l_directory, l_filename);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_blob, true, dbms_lob.Session);
dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob, true, dbms_lob.Session);
begin
    dbms_lob.FileOpen(l_bfile, dbms_lob.File_Readonly);
exception
    when file_not_found then
      l_err_msg := to_char(sqlcode)||' - Attachment File "'||l_filename||'" is not found.';
      raise_application_error(-20002, l_err_msg);
end;
dbms_lob.LoadBLOBFromFile(l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.LobMaxSize, l_src_offset, l_dst_offset);
dbms_lob.FileClose(l_bfile);
-- Encode the BLOB content to BASE64 and attach to notification
wf_mail_util.EncodeBLOB(l_blob, l_clob);
l_amount := dbms_lob.GetLength(l_clob);
dbms_lob.Copy(p_document, l_clob, l_amount, 1, 1);
-- Mention an appropriate Content Type so that Notification System
-- understands the attachment content
p_document_type := l_content_type||'; encoding=base64; name='||l_filename;
end attach_document;Here I read the BLOB from the filesystem and base64 encode it before giving it to the Mailer. Please note that this is a PLSQLCLOB based attachment as against PLSQLBLOB that you are using.

Â£ is being reported in Oracle reports instead of £

Hi,
Â£ is being reported in Oracle reports instead of £, when actually "£" is stored in the database tables.
I am using Oracle Reports version 9.0.2.3.0 with encoding="UTF-8"
Any idea why?
Cheers,
Gautam

Could be a NLS_LANG setup problem.
You should first check with the SQL DUMP function if the data is correctly stored in the database.

Automatically generating PDF format Report

Dear buddies
can u tell me plzzz that how can I generate my report to PDF format while showing the output on screen isn't necessary. 2ndly is there any automated way to mail this file to a client or I'll have to mail it manually? be careful that I'm using Developer - 6i. hoping a positive response,thanx.

Hi,
As u said, while showing the output on screen isn't necessary.
For the 1st one, u set the system parameters..
MODE: bitmap (for pdf it should be bitmap).
Destype: File
Desname : give some name to the file in your local dir..
For the 2nd one, u have to configure ur local mailing system..
For eg: Microsoft Outlook..
it's enough if u configure ur local mailing system and then
give an option in the report calling form to send it to mail..
and set the Destype to Mail.
Hope this will clear your doubt..!

Format issue after Oracle Reports conversion

Hi all:
I am an intermediate Oracle Reports user and am evaluating teh use of BI Publisher as a replacement. Since I have a large number of reports, some of which are fairly complex, I wish to take advantage of the conversion tool.
The report in this issue has no user parameters. The Data Model is a "Data Template" type as generated from the conversion routine. The connection used was as the schema owner.
I can View the report, but the formatting is completely wrong and the charts are no longer in the report.
What do I need to do to fix this?
Any help appreaciated,
Gary

Hi Gary
The converter does not handle charts at the moment. You will need to re-create those in the template.
Need a bit more info on 'the formatting is completely wrong' to be able to comment further.
Regards
Tim

Hide number (or format number) on Oracle Report with Barcode

Hi al !
i have done a example about print Barcode on Oracle Report
with help link :
[http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B10602_01/orbr_barcode.htm|http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B10602_01/orbr_barcode.htm]
However
I want to hide number under Barcode images or Format number !
Ex:
|||||||||||||| --> images barcode
1234567 --> number barcode
i want : hide : "123456" or format it : "123.456"
Thanks !

Hello,
The Image is generated by the java code in oraclebarcode.jar
It is possible to "hide" a part of the image by puting an object ("rectangle" for example ) over the part of the image you want to hide.
