Generating PDF Report and Mailing from APEX through DBMS_SCHEDULER job

Hi,
We have a requirement to generate pdf reports and mail them from our apex app through a DBMS_SCHEDULER job. The DBMS_SCHEDULER job calls a PL/SQL procedure which has the logic for calling the APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT API (Function Signature 3) passing the application_id, the report_query_name and the report_layout_name to generate the pdf report output. The APEX_UTIL.GET_PRINT_DOCUMENT call is returning NULL when called from the DBMS_SCHEDULER job (It doesn't throw any exception as well!). But the same procedure when called from an APEX App Page Process that is invoked on an event like a Button click, the API returns the PDF report output.
I am also setting the APEX workspace security_group_id at the beginning of the PL/SQL procedure as follows:
l_workspace_id := apex_util.find_security_group_id (p_workspace => 'MY_WORKSPACE');
apex_util.set_security_group_id (p_security_group_id => l_workspace_id);
Any idea on what might be going wrong? Any alternative ways to generate the report output in the PL/SQL procedure?
Thanks & Regards,
Sujesh K K

I was able to do a workaround for this issue by rebooting the DB.
As per ID 579281.1, this is a bug in 11.1.0.6 and we need to upgrade the version to 11.1.0.7 or apply a one -off patch.
Thanks,
Arun

Error while generating PDF with BI Publisher from APEX

Hi,
I am facing a problem which is intermittent.
I am generating a pdf from APEX which has been developed using BI Publisher.
I have linked the report to the APEX using report queries/report layouts in shared components.
The pdf used to open without any problems previously.But currently,I am getting the following error
"An error exists on this page.Acrobat may not display the page correctly.Please contact the person who created the pdf document to correct the document."
Once the Bi Publisher Services is restarted,I am able to generate the pdf.Again After sometime the same error pops up.
Has anybody faced the above error?
Any solution for the same.
Kindly reply.
Thanks and Regards,
K Tanna

Storing oracle-reports generated pdf-report onto a blob

Hey ppl,
I have this requirement:
I basically generate a report from Jdev using a remote servlet call to oracle reports, which very neatly generates the pdf document for me and stores it locally. The problem is immediately storing this onto the DB as a blob once the report is generated. I know how to store the pdf as a blob onto the DB. I know how to make the call to oracle-reports and generate my pdf. What I don't know is to sequentially first generate the local pdf report and only once that has been generated proceed to store it onto my DB.
I want it to be done within the scope of a single request. As in, the entire process should be complete through one cycle. I don't want to keep a day end sort of procedure that inserts into the db at the end of the day.
As soon as the report has been requested by the user, I want the pdf file(which is generated by the reports) to also be stored onto the DB.
My problem (which i apologize has been repeated already 2wice above) is that I basically lose control once redirected through the servlet to the report call. There is no way i can instruct Jdev, from the reports side, that the pdf has been generated and now has to be stored onto the DB, as i have lost the session context by redirecting to a different servlet.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers
K

Hi,
its quite some time ago that I a looked Oracle Reports, however, I think that the event mechanism is quite complex to achieve
I want it to be done within the scope of a single request.
Which means that if Oracle Reports hangs, the user session follows.
As in, the entire process should be complete through one cycle.
Unfortunately you don't control how long reports run, which means that there is no sense in stopping the page lifecycle for this
I don't want to keep a day end sort of procedure that inserts into the db at the end of the day.
Fair enough, but as far as I remember there is an eventing in Reports that would allow you to have the Oracle Reports Server triggering the upload
So I think, the architecture I would go for is:
- user requests report
- report generates PDF output
- reports uploads to DB
- reports_processing table holds user ID and reports ID plus flag to update when report is done
- If using JSF, you could use af:poll to check frequently for the report to be finished.
This here may help: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html

How to generate pdf report in swing

1) Add an upper case letter to the start of each sentence. This helps the reader to scan the text quickly, looking for the important parts. It also helps to dispel the impression that the writer is just lazy.
2) Try to do some research on your own, summarise it and state any conclusions you have reached. Ask a specific question and generally, try not to sound so pathetic.

Unable to generate Pdf report for crystal 9/10 in Windows 2012 (Standard) server with Times New Roman font. With same font, report getting generated in excel, text, csv format in Windows 2012.

For Times New Roman font in Windows server 2012 R2 (Standard), crystal 9/10 report in pdf format is not getting generated. When we change the font for specific report like Arial, Calibri , Cambria then pdf report getting created.
In Windows 2008 R2, same application worked fine to generate pdf report for TimesNewRoman font and there is no change done in the application which is being used in Windows 2012 R2 server.

Ok, thanks for the reply. You need to contact support or a forum for the Crystal software. Third party products don't usually include Adobe technology, they have their own software. When you contact them, you may want to expand "unable to generate" to give any specific symptoms including any error messages.

How to deploy Forms, Reports and Menu from Client to Server machine

Dear Experts,
I have one requirement to deploy the Forms, Reports and Menu from client machine to server machine.
Deployment involves the following steps :
1. Firstly we have to search the selected file in a folder where the .fmx is present ( in Server machine) and take the back up of the the existing file in the server (Source and destination paths will be available).
Ex. If the existing FMB name is TEST.fmx then the backup file should be TEST_sysdate.fmx.
2. Secondly we have to transfer the file from the client folder (or from another folder of the same server) to the server folder where the back up exists.
Please help me to search/rename/copy/replace the _.fmx/.rdf/.rep/.mmx_ files from client to server.
We are using
9i Database.
10g Forms and reports.
SQL Developer tool.
OS is Windows (Client and Server).
Help me out to attach a file of front end screen which we are planning to develop. It will give a clear picture on this requirement.
Thanks :)

Welcome to the forum. Please take a while to go through the FAQ to be found to the top right of the page.
Your issue is more to do with batch files rather than Forms. The only relation with Forms, as I see it, is that you will be using HOST/CLIENT_HOST to start a batch file with the file name to be deployed as a parameter passed to it.
You need to rewrite either a CMD batch file or a Powershell script to achieve what have set out to do.
For CMD batch files look up http://www.robvanderwoude.com/battech.php , or any of the other excellent resources available on the internet.

Automating Generation of reports and mailing it.

Hi,
How do I automate generation of reports and mail it through the Oracle Server. The messaging system being implemented out here is Lotus Domino Server 4.6
Regards,
Alka Mishra.

Can you tell me more how to create store procedure UTL_HTTP or give me example and why I need to create a DB table with a DB trigger and give example too.
can I send to Internet email (if I have email address) or Unix mail only?
Thank you very much
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by The Oracle Reports team:
Assuming you are using Developer 1.6.1 or later and version 7.3 or later of Oracle database
1. set up the Reports server for web reporting (see whitepaper on configuring reports server available on otn for more info, and of course the doc).
2. Write a set of stored procedures that use UTL_HTTP to send an HTTP request to the Reports server. You can specify all the parameters to run a report on the URL (incl. running and mailling a report).
3. Create a DB table with a DB trigger that call the pacakged procedure you just wrote. Now every time a row is inserted (for example) into the table, a report can be run and the output mailed.
This will be made much easier/simpler in Reports 7 - but that is a way off.

Importing Reports and Forms from Oracle to Portals

Hi,
I have read somewhere that it is possible to import all ready created reports and forms from Oracle and view them as a Portlet in Portals. Is this actually possible and if so where do I begin??
Could there be an issue with rights, this is all new to our DBA and we have only just got permission to publish forms created in Portals to the repository. Any ideas??

How to generate PDF report directly instead of RPT report by using JRC ?

Hi,
Good Day !
How to generate PDF report directly instead of RPT report by using Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Java Reporting Component (JRC) in desktop (Swing thick-client) ?
My GUI program will generate a RPT report, then i can export to PDF file, this is ok, no problem.
BUT
i want it direct to generate a PDF report, not a RPT report.
The code like below (2 java files)
ClassA.java
ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
reportClientDoc.open(XXX, 0);
ParameterFieldController paramFieldController = reportClientDoc.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
paramFieldController.setCurrentValue("", "XXX", DomainClass.getXXX());
new ReportViewerFrame(reportClientDoc);
// End of ClassA.java
// Begin ReportViewerFrame.java
public class ReportViewerFrame extends JFrame
       //Initial window frame properties.
     private final int XPOS = 80;
     private final int YPOS = 60;
     private final int WIDTH = 760;
     private final int HEIGHT = 550;
     private ReportViewerBean reportViewer = new ReportViewerBean();
     private ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();
     public ReportViewerFrame(ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc) throws    Exception
          //Initialize frame properties.
          this.setResizable(true);
          this.setLocation(XPOS, YPOS);
          this.setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);
          this.setTitle("Crystal Report Java Viewer");
          //Add GUI components to the frame including the ReportViewerBean.
          addComponents();
          //Add GUI listeners to the frame.
          addListeners();
          //Set the report that the ReportViewerBean will display.
          this.reportClientDoc = reportClientDoc;
          reportViewer.setReportSource(reportClientDoc.getReportSource());
          reportViewer.init();
          reportViewer.start();
          //Display the frame.
          this.setVisible(true);
How to set the export option to PDF base on existing code ?
Where can i download this package/jar ?

Generating PDF Reports

I have a requirement to generate PDF reports through a java application.
Is iText the preferred solution to do this or can anyone recommend a better alternative?
Thanks.

You should also consider apache FOP as it uses open standards. I haven't personally used FOP or iText though so I can't comment on which is "better".
