CPU usage while generating text output from reports

hi
while we attempt to generate the text (delimited) output from reports and when the query fetches more than 1500 rows, the cpu usage stays around 100% for long time paralysing the operation...
we faced the problem when we attempted to generate text output for around 10000 records.
any suggestions?

You can burst with eText and I have done it
successfully.
I don't believe pagebreaks are an option in eText and
I don't think it makes sense either since your
generating a flat-file and not a customer or internal
facing document. Does that make sense?
Also, if you would like you can use the
BIPublisherIDE, this code can be converted pretty
easily to handle jcp. There is a an oa framework
version I have developed but I haven't posted on my
blog yet. I plan on adding a bolt on for java
concurrent programs soon. it's really pretty simple
just haven't had the time.

Thanks Ike for your reply.
I agree with your points on TXT files, but in our case,the reports are generated in TXT format for the customer so we are looking for the above mentioned features.
I have gone through BIP IDE and its a wonderful small utility which eases the task of BIP development.
As I mentioned in my original post that we are currently processing the generated TXT report using a custom util. in JAVA to get the desired output in TXT again.
I assume thats not what a JCP would do,so I am looking to explore that too.
As I understand the process for report generation is
1. Generate XSL from eTEXT template.
2. Get the XML data from DB using XDO
3. Apply XSL on XML to get the required template.
If we are looking to achieve some customizations then we need to have the XSL generated with those customizations.
In this case, where do we plug in the JCP to alter XSL or am I missing something.

looks like pdf is default output in template definition in xml publisher resp
so for r12 use FND_REQUEST.ADD_LAYOUT as example
v_request_id   number;

Unable to generate PDF file from reports

Hi,
After running the report when I tried to generate the output to pdf file, I see the number of pages being generated again, I dont see any file being created although it prompts for the file name. Any suggestions
Thanks in Advance

I dont see any output pdf file being generated, I have seen in all the folders and when I click the Generate to File option, it prompts me for the file name and the path for the file and then the report runs again on the screen instead of generating the file.
Thanks in Advance

Generating delimited output from Reports Runtime R60

When generating a delimited file using Runtime how can you predict or determine how Oracle will form the output rows from the report layout? Does anyone have any documentation on Runtime that explains the generation process as there is nothing in the Runtime Reference manual.

The only documentation (such that it is) that I've found on this is in MetaLink, in Note 68245.1 "Delimited Output in Reports" and a tiny bit more in Note 120072.1 "Suppressing header on delimited output".

Unable to view PDF output from Report Server

Help!
I have successfully setup CGI Report Server and can generate and view reports in IE5 as HTML repformat.
However when I try to generate output as PDF I do not get the report displayed. Instead I get a little acrobat icon displayed in the top left of the browser window.
When I click on the icon I get a IE5 message:
"There is no viewer available for the type of object you are trying to open....
Content Type: application/pdf"
...and then insists on taking me to Microsoft activex plugin page.
This is very stange as I DO have Adobe Acrobat Reader 4 installed and the plugin works ok when viewing PDF files on Oracle webpage.
Any suggestions on how to resolve are gratefully received!!
Regards,
Richard.

You have run into an interesting problem. The problem is not with Reports. The problem is with Adobe. You can search Adobe's web site and they point to Microsoft (btw, this problem doesn't occur with netscape as the browser) Microsoft's web site point to Adobe.
The Problem is that the .ocx Adobe puts out for use with IE times out if the report take stoo long to start sending back data. We had report that worked and some that didn't. We took a report that worked and put a sleep command in it and when the sleep command got to 10 the report quit working.
My suggestion: move to netscape, make your reports as fast as absolutely possible.

Generating .pdf file from Reports Builder 10g

Hi,
I made a report in Reports Builder 10g and every label and field I set, but when I print the report throw reports builder field are displaced randomly, i.e. they are not where I set them in paper layout. In print preview everything is OK, but when I print it everything(fields) is in the mess. Please help.

APEX doesn't output PDF natively, so you have to use an external report server for this. There's a link on apex.oracle.com entitled PDF Printing that discusses the options.

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!
Martin

Create PDF output from Web Layout Report

Is there a way I can create a PDF output from a Web Layout Report? (NOT from a Paper Layout). The reason I ask because editing on the .jsp Web Layout is very easy and flexible while editing on the Payer Layout is very difficult. Thanks.
- Todd

Hi Todd,
Please refer to this link:
paper layout & web layout
As for your second statement, it is a matter of opinion and I beg to differ that .... "Web Layout is very easy and flexible while editing on the Payer Layout is very difficult."

To generate XML output from Oracle Apps 11

Hi Anyone has the experience to generate the output from Oracle Apps 11 as XML file? Database is 8.17, Oracle Apps 11. The concurrent program can be written in PL/SQL or can report 2.5 generate the output as XML?
The scenario is:
1) Run a concurrent program in Oracle Apps 11
2) Output generated is XML (.xml)
Regards.

This forum is for Oracle XML DB features. XML DB is only available as of database 9iR2.
You may be better off in legacy XML Features forum...

Build Reports from XML output from Reports

Hi,
I was just wondering if it is possible to build reports from output in XML format, originally generated by Oracle Reports.
The XML output produced by Reports is stored in a database for further processing.
TIA
Hien

Hi Hien
If I have understood this right, you need to create report in XML format from an XML Report Definition File. From the Builder, Generate to File from the File menu and choose XML format for the output.
Remember that XML output from Reports is Data driven and faithfully reproduces the Data Model. It is NOT layout driven.

Generating pdf output with webhelp look and functionality not like a print documentation

Hi I have been using robohelp webhelp for our company online help documentation. Can I generate pdf output which has the same look and functionality as that of webhelp, using robohelp??

Welcome to our community
While you may certainly generate a PDF that contains the same information, it likely will not look exactly like WebHelp and it certainly will not behave as WebHelp.
WebHelp is intended for on-line use while the PDF is really intended for printing if one chooses to.
Cheers... Rick

Generating PDF output with DITA-FMx

I am evaluating DITA-FMx to get professional PDF output from my ditamaps and thanks to the useful video from saprentice, I am able to get a working PDF, with numbered chapters, page numbering, and so on. But now I am stuck with the following:
- Preface and notices are numbered and they shouldn't. How do I remove numbering from them?
- chapters appear twice in the TOC: once numbered and then again without numbers.
Thanks

The preface and notices are numbered because they are using the default template (assumed to be "chapter"). You'll need to set up and assign a "component template" for those component types. I assume you're using a bookmap .. so you should be able to create component templates called "tpl~preface.fm" and "tpl~notices.fm" .. put those in your component templates folder (as specified in the ditafmx-bookbuild.ini file), and those templates will be applied to the corresponding book components. You'll need to modify the EDD that is within those templates so it applies a different paragraph tag to top-level title (take a careful look at the sample tpl~appendix.fm component template which does this same thing for appendix components.
The duplicate chapter references in the TOC are a bit puzzling. Keep in mind that the TOC creation is fundamentally the same as you would have done in unstructured Frame. It's controlled by the TOC reference page in the TOC template ("gentpl~toc.fm"), and the tags specified in the GeneratedFile-toc section of the ditafmx-bookbuild.ini file. If you can make this work by manually setting things in the generated files, you should be able to translate that into the files to make it work through FMx.
Also .. be sure to check the FrameMaker console window after a book build .. you may see messages that help to debug any problems.
BTW .. a good place to post this sort of question is to the dita-fmx-users Yahoo group.

...scott
