Hexdecimal value 0x00 error in Report Builder

Hello All,
I am getting the following error in the Report Builder. I figured out there is some issue with one of the parameter that I am using in the Report. When I don't select available values and default values for the parameter report works alright. Any thoughts
on this.

Hi Amol_SCI,
Have you checked to see what characters are on or around line 1, position 3707? Hexadecimal value 0x00 is a Null character. Based on the error, you may have some corruption or invalid characters in the XML file.
As per my understanding, I think the issue can be caused by there are some Junk characters in the data parameter value. So we can right-click the RDL file and choose View Code to open the report definition file in the XML editor window. Make sure to
save a backup copy before making any manual changes to the report definition.
If the problem persists, copy and paste the contents of the RDL (or a section) into a post to this thread. It will help us to reproduce this issue, and then assist you to resolve. Here is a similar thread, please see:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/677a621a-25a8-4f23-9586-53a1cff88f04/hexadecimal-value-0x00-is-an-invalid-character?forum=sqlreportingservices
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Rep-0118:Unable to create temporary file error in Report Builder

I have installed Report Builder (latest edition) for windows 2000 server, but my users on windows XP cannot create the report it gives them
Rep-0118:Unable to create temporary file error
Please help me out
Vijay

You have to change registry settings by going through REGEDIT. Under hkey_local_machine/software/oracle/<oracle home>, look for variable REPORTS_TMP. Change value for this, for example c:\windows\temp or something like that where you want oracle reports to create temp files.

Time out error on Report builder

Hello,
There is a report I built that pulls a lot of data understandably.
However, when I run this report, it times out. I have set the time out value to be 0 and it still times out.
The only error it brings is that, The operation has timed out..
Please help

Hi sanjb12001,
As per my understanding, you created a report, when you run the report with report builder, you got the error message: The operation has timed out.
The report server does not limit the size of a report definition. However, ASP.NET imposes a maximum size for items that are posted to the server. If we upload or publish a report definition that exceeds this limit to a report server, you receive an HTTP
exception. To solve the problem, we can set the executionTimeout to 3600 (seconds) and set maxRequestLength to 2097151 in the httpRuntime tag of the web.config file(location: C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\ServerInstance \Reporting Services\ReportServer)
like below:
<system.web>
<httpRuntime maxRequestLength="2097151" executionTimeout="3600"/>
</system.web>
If the problem remain unresolved, i would appreciate it if you could give us detailed error log(default location: %programfiles%\Microsoft SQL Server\<SQL Server Instance>\Reporting Services\LogFiles), it will help us move more quickly toward a solution.
Thanks,

Error in report builder wizard user interface

I am getting error 'REP-31954: Error in the Report Builder Chart Wizard user interface'.
The help subsystem states that I should make sure that the Chart Builder Wizard libraries are properly installed.
I am sure they are because all other wizards work fine, along with the Forms, Reports, etc.
I searched using Google and found two messages that indicate this is a bug in the program and not library installation related.
Does anyone know if this is indeed a bug that has not been resolved, or do I need to troubleshoot more on my end.
I re-linked Oracle graphics and checked the env variables, but nothing gets the Chart Wizard to work within Reports or Forms.
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi.
I am running developer 6i on my home machine (with Oracle 8i, v 8.1.7). I am at work at the moment, and I can't recall what the Reports version is. The same error occurs with Forms.
The filename that I downloaded is called 'd2k6irelease2.tar'.
I downloaded the version that is currently on Oracle OTN's download site, so I presume that is the latest version that should contain all patches, updates, etc.
Thank you for responding!

Hi Adrian,
Got the following when grepped through the web. You can give a try and see whether it works :
1) Open the report in the Builder. In the properties for the graphic image, change to the proper UNIX path. Also, ensure the .ogd file which is referenced is also placed in the proper UNIX directory, so that the new path is reflected accurately.
2) Ensure that your environment have the ORACLE_HOME set properly and then try re-linking with Graphics.

Error starting Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2

Hi there,

You definitely have a problems with rights. It was installed by Administrator and the user you're trying to run it with doesn't have the rights to access those files. An easy solution should be to include your user in the administrator group. You can also, as administrator, give read/write priviledge to the Reports installation directory to anyone.

Log errors in Report Builder

hello,
i wan't to start a document generation from java.
runtime.exec() ...
this works fine. but how can my application determine if
something went wrong with document generation. this could
be a log file, which could be parsed by a java application.
what kind of informations could be written from report builder
to a log file ?
how to do that ?
can i specify which document generation went wrong via a log
file ?
did anybody do things like that and could give me some hints ?
thanks for any help
Thorsten Lorenz

Hello,
You can try to activate the trace.
See TRACEFILE and TRACEOPTS argument of the RWRUN command line.
If you use that you can not control the format of the log.
Another way could be to generate a log file using PL/SQL trigger -before reports, after Reports and TEXT_IO package- and look for information in the new file from your java program. (caller)

Formatting the Multi-Valued Parameter Selection in report builder 3.0

Hi All,
I have a field from a data set and i assigned it to a parameter that selects multiple values.
But i want to format(i need only substring of that field value) the data set field value for the user to select those values.
I build a report dataset model for my report. so I am getting the field values that are present in my database.
So, how can i change those values before assigning them to the parameter?
Regards,
Ganga

Hi Ganga,
Based on your description, you want
a parameter get values from a query but you need only substring of the field value. Right?
In SQL Server Reporting Service, you could add a
Calculated Field in the data set. Using expression to substring the field from query. Then we can use this calculated field in parameter.
We have tested this scenario in our environment. Please refer to steps below:
Right-click the data set in the Report Data window and select Add Calculated Fields.
Click “Add” button to add a calculated field(Named “SubString”). Use text functions like Left() and Right() to substring data filed. Type in the expression like:=Left(Fields!CalendarYear.Value,1)+Right(Fields!CalendarYear.Value,2).
The result is like below:
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

Multi value select LOV in report builder 10g parameter form.

Hi All,
I have a requirement to show a set of records by getting user input through the report parameter form.
employee Table.
emp_id emp_name
1 A
2 B
3 C
4 D
5 E
In the report i am getting emp_id input from the user through list of values (LOV query is "select emp_id from employee where emp_id =:emp_id").
This condition is working for me. now user want to select multiple emp_id from the LOV. so that the sql query will get the related records from the employee table.
so the LOV query will work like the following "select emp_id from employee where emp_id in (:emp_id)".
can enybody help me to acheive the above.
Thanks
Leo.

By all means feel free to post your question as often as you like!
In webforms DDE runs on the middle tier; it might do what you want against your local OC4J now, but it surely won't open a thing when you run it against an application server.
Maybe you should enlighten us with your requirement, maybe there is a better solution for your problem.

Report Builder Error: [BC30455] Argument not specified for parameter 'DateValue' of 'Public Function Day(DateValue As Date) As Integer'.

Hi there!
I'm trying to calculate the difference between two days using DATEDIFF (). I use following code for this:
=DATEDIFF(DAY, CDate(Fields!Eingang_Kundenanfrage.Value),CDate(Fields!Ausgang_Angebot.Value))
Every time I try to save the report, I get this error message:
[BC30455] Argument not specified for parameter 'DateValue' of 'Public Function Day(DateValue As Date) As Integer'.
The DataSource is a SharePoint List and the Date is given in the following format: 23.05.2014 00:00:00 (DD.MM.YYYY HH:MM:SS).
I've googled for a working solution for a long time now, but I had no success.
Is there someone who can help me?

Hi Lucas,
According to your description, you want to return the difference between two date. It seems that you want to get the days. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we use DATEDIFF() function, we need to specify the data interval type, for days we can use "dd" or DateInterval.Day. So the expression should be like:
=DATEDIFF(DateInterval.Day, CDate(Fields!Eingang_Kundenanfrage.Value),CDate(Fields!Ausgang_Angebot.Value))
OR
=DATEDIFF("dd", CDate(Fields!Eingang_Kundenanfrage.Value),CDate(Fields!Ausgang_Angebot.Value))

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

XML Report completes with error due to REP-271504897: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file.

We are in the middle of testing our R12 Upgrade. I am getting this error from the invoice XML-based report that we are using in R12. (based on log). Only for a specific invoice number that this error is appearing. The trace is not showing me anything. I don't know how to proceed on how to debug where the error is coming from and how to fix this. I found a patch 8339196 that shows exactly the same error number but however, I have to reproduce the error in another test instance before we apply the patch. I created exactly the same order and interface to AR and it doesnt generate an error. I even copied the order and interface to AR and it doesn't complete with error. It is only for this particular invoice that is having an issue and I need to get the root cause as to why. Please help. I appreciate what you all can contribute to identify and fix our issue. We have not faced this issue in R11i that we are maintaining right now for the same program which has been running for sometime. However, after the upgrade for this particular data that the user has created, it is throwing this error REP-271504897.

Hi,
Check on this note also : Purchasing Reports Fail When Changing Output To XML REP-0002 REP-271504897 REP-57054 (Doc ID 1452608.1)
If you cant reproduce the issue on other instance, apply the patch on the test instance and verify all the funcionality related to the patch works OK. Then move the patch to production. Or you can clone the prod environment to test the patch.

Has anyone seen this before? Does anyone have any idea what
the problem is?
Thanks

Whatever version came with MX7. When I run it and go to help
and about, it just shows the version info for cold fusion server.
Not the report builder. I know it is the latest version however as
