Generating reports in HTMLCSS format changes output in HP-UX

Hi All,
I'm using Oracle Report 6i in HP-UX, apparently my reports was generated fine in PDF format, but the reports output was awful when generated in HTMLCSS format. It seen that oracle reports was trying to squeeze the report horizontally and vertically. Therefore I do a simple test again, I create a simple report defination file in HP-UX, which only consist of a 15cm x 3cm box. When I generate this report in PDF format, it works fine, but when I generate it in HTMLCSS format, the box become smaller, for instance 12cm x 2.5cm. So I get the same rdf file and run again in Oracle Report 6i for NT, it works fine for both PDF and HTMLCSS.
The command I used to generate the reports are.
rwrun60 DESNAME="/tmp/emptyBox.html" DESTYPE=FILE PRINTJOB=NO BACKGROUND=YES PARAMFORM=NO DESFORMAT="HTMLCSS" USERID="scott/tiger@fms" REPORT="EmptyBox.rdf"
and I do set REPORTS60_NO_DUMMY_PRINTER=true in the environment variables.
Does anyone encounter this problem before?
thanks,
TengChun.

Hi,
Try setting the environment variable REPORTS60_DEFAULT_PIXEL_SIZE=true. This will use the default pixel resolution instead of screen surface resolution to generate HTML/HTMLCSS output.
Thanks,

Code generate report in excel format from portal(Application Server)

Hi all
Please give some solution with code generate report in excel format from
oracle portal(Application Server).

Not feasible.
Why? Because "the Excel format" is a binary and proprietary Microsoft file format. And writing a generator to generate Excel files will be complex, and resource expensive. In the vast majority of cases this will not be justified.
As an alternative the very basic Microsoft XML office format can be used. But note that this is not a a ISO standard (it has been shot down in flames) - and effort and resources for that would be better spend on the Open Document XML standard (which very likely will be ratified as the ISO standard instead).
Of course, you could have meant a CSV file - in which case, you need to play close attention to details. CSV is not an Excel format. A software designers and developers, our success is determined by attention to technical detail. In which case you are not paying any attention to technical detail by confusing CSV with Excel.

Hi,
Can you please help me with the following based on your feedback.
1) I had created a dashboard page that has multiple analysis in it. The output of the dashboard page has to be generated in pdf format and for multiple Relationship Manager.
2) I can add the above dashboard page to the agent to schedule for execution and send email for one specific relationship manager. But the issue I am facing is I need to do the same all of the 100s of relationship manager i.e. one agent for each RM. The solution I am looking for is to schedule the dashboard page to be executed using one agent and by passing RM codes one by one and sending the output file through email to the respecitive RM.
Thanks & Regards,

Go to the cache directory and see if you can open the report directly from here (not in IE).
I have seen posts on problems with Acrobat Reader Plugin for IE (I believe it was version 6 of Reader).

Generating reports in .doc format (Word Document) using Java POI - HWPF

Hi
Can anybody help me how to generate the report in .doc format using POI API?
Please share the sample code, if you have.
Thanks in Advance
Dhilip

Hi,
I dont think that your requirement has to do with ADF capabilities.
You want to edit a word document with JAVA. For that reason, you will need an API, as the suggestions above.
You can do it without ADF and by using standard JAVA and the API of your choice. a static void main will do for that matter.
ADF comes into the game when you want to handle the document with your ADF application.
This means that you either want to get your new data to be placed on your doc from BC or any other DataControl or you want to do something else with ADF..
My guess is that you want to get data from ADF into your Doc.
You could create an API on handling your Doc and then use it into your ADF application.

Dimitris.

Generating Report in PDF Format.

Hi All,
How can I configure Report Server to generate all my Reports in PDF Destination Format? I am using Oracle 10g.
In 6i, it used to be FORMS60_REPFORMAT parameter. Is there any equivalant in 10g? Where can I set it? or Is there any other way to configure Report Server?
I may set desformat in rp2rro.pll but I would like to have it at Report Server level.
Thanks for your help in advance.

If you want to run all your reports using a generic file, then use web.show_document within Forms and set your desformat for each report in the cgicmd.dat file (in Oracle_home/reports/conf directory) on the App Server.
Please be warned that any change to this file will require bouncing the report server (or the app server as I sometimes find it doesn't always pick up the changes).

Generate report in excel format

Hello all,
I´m trying to produce an excel report with oracle reports. I have three different queries:
- one that returns columns name of the report.
- one that returns rows of the report.
- and one that returns the results.
But when i generate the report, using desformat=delimited or spreadsheet, this three queries appears in three different places, one below other in spreadsheet.
When i generate a pdf report, this queries looks fine, and appear in the place that i want.
I´m using oracle 10g version. Can anyone tell me how can i put this three queries like a grid, so results are aligned with columns and rows?
I need urgently an answer please.
Best regards,
João Oliveira

As an alternative the very basic Microsoft XML office format can be used. But note that this is not a a ISO standard (it has been shot down in flames) - and effort and resources for that would be better spend on the Open Document XML standard (which very likely will be ratified as the ISO standard instead).
Of course, you could have meant a CSV file - in which case, you need to play close attention to details. CSV is not an Excel format. A software designers and developers, our success is determined by attention to technical detail. In which case you are not paying any attention to technical detail by confusing CSV with Excel.

How to generate report in pdf format through a JSP page

I require to generate my report from my JSP page into a PDF format . How can i do it?

Use a Java API which can create PDF files based on some collection of plain vanilla Java objects (List, String, Number, etc).
Google can find them all. Just feed it with something like "Java PDF API" or so. A commonly used one is iText.
That said, when talking about this in JSP context, ensure that you do NOT write raw Java code in JSP files using scriptlets. Raw Java code belongs in Java classes. In such case you need a Servlet. In JSP just use taglibs and EL to interact with backend Java code and data. Scriptlets are discouraged since over a decade.

Output of Report in PDF Format on the Web

I am running my application developed in developer 6i on the web. When is take the output of the reports in HTML format the output comes fine.
But when I set the report output format to PDF from registry the browser does not open the file & gives the message error opeing file. But the file is accurately created in server's temporary directory which can be opened separately without reports server.
I am using IE 5 & also tried 6.
I have installed Forms & reports server from developer 6i CD without 9iAS.
Somebody gave me the answer that there is some bug in reports server. Is it really a bug ??? Another thing is if it is a bug, it also exists in 9iAS.
Please help me out
Thanks

Formatting report in excel format

Hi,
I have to generate report in excel format but I don't know how to format it for example to add a dynamic title, and to add a logo in the top of the excel sheet...
any help..
thanks in advance.

Hi,
Oracle Portal Reports generated do not pick up the foramting conditions which you would see in HTML/ASCII format .Hence ,TITLE ,FOOTER or number ,date formats wouldn't work in Excel format .Incase you needed formatted output ,you can use HTML/ASCII foramt.
Incase you want to use the EXCEL format.Save the Excel file and right macros to do so.
Thanks,

The line is caused by the default HTML code placed in the After Page Value property found in the Report Escapes section of the report property palette. Clear the value to delete the line

Horizontal scrollbar isn't showed when using HTMLCSS format

I'm using iAS Rel 1
when creating "Right to Left" reports in HTMLCSS format with the report server , the horizontal scrollbar
isn't showed !
is there anyone can help me ?
I'mm be really thankfull

Hi Kamran,
So you are using Reports 6i. Even in Reports 6i, you should not be hitting this problem. Pl install the latest 6i patchset 15 from Metalink (patch number 3171855). However, it is also possible that this is not actually a Reports issue. Pl try to view the report output in a different browser and see if the issue reproduces.
If it reproduces, you can also try to see a report in the "left to right" direction also results in this problem.

How to test a generated report in my application by using web test written with Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate

Hello,
My application generates report in different formats, such as: Adobe, Excel, XML, CSV and HTML
I have a webtest that makes all preparations, then generates a report.
In my application I have an option either to save the new generated report or open it.
When I try to open the new report, the web test doesn't see it and therefore not allows me to test it.
Please refer me to knowledge base or let me know how to resolve this type of issues.
Thanks.

Hi qatm,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this web performance test is used to verify the Http request/respond work correctly in VS, and the browser session is then displayed as a list of URLs in the Web Performance Test Editor.
However, as you said that you want to test a generated report in my application by using web performance test in VS2012 Ultimate. If the report is not as the Http format, so I think that it is not possible to test a generated report by using web performance
test.
Thanks for your understanding.
