How to avoid IE pop-ups when running BIP reports(w/ SSO) from Oracle Forms?

Hi all,
We have an OID/SSO integrated Oracle Forms and BI Publisher environment in place. We/users expect the same behavior when running Oracle Reports or BIP reports from Oracle Forms... which means receiving no intermediate pop-ups and simply getting the report output to appear in the relevant target application(PDF, EXCEL, etc). Currently we get multiple security warnings when running BIP reports from Oracle Forms.
Here's a list of Pop-ups contents:
1. "File Download - Security Warning" Do you want to open or save this file? -> OPEN
2. "File Download" Do you want to save this file? Name = ma01r500.pdf -> YES
3. "Save AS" -> pick desktop and save.
4. "Download Complete" -> OPEN
We have experimented with setting various IE security settings to LOW/enabled and still get these pop-ups.
Any suggestions is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Yahya

FYI... Metalink Note 282996.1 has resolved the bigger issue with the extra pop-ups with SSO enabled environment.
Cause:
Internet Explorer (IE) has to cache PDF files in a temporary directory prior to opening the file. Without this IE cannot process PDF files. With SSO protected pages, the header cache settings are set to no-cache which prevents IE from downloading PDF files.
Solution:
In mod_osso.conf use the entry "OssoSendCacheHeaders off" which tells mod_osso to turn off all no-cache related headers, which the enables Internet Explorer to be cache the file in a temporary directory.
Now I am not sure if anybody has any thoughts/suggestions as how we might be able to resolve this issue where Oracle Reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls have no pop-ups so ideally BIP reports WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT calls should behave the same as both are calls from Oracle Forms.
But at least now our SSO enabled environment and un-secure DEV/UAT behave the same with a single pop-up. Ideally the users shouldn't have to come across this intermediate pop-up to open(save/cancel being the other options) the document(just like Oracle Reports calls).

How to avoid the pop up when pressing CTRL-SHIFT-DEL and delete the cache instantly?

When pressing CTRL-SHIFT-DEL an additional dialog arises. How do I disable it to gain the behaviour of FF 2.0 which deletes the history instantly by taking the settings of the "Clear history when Firefox closes" menu?

How to prevent BIP login screen pop-up when opening BIP report from Dashbo

Hi
My customer linked BI Publisher report on the Dashboard page by setting
"Embedded Content" as "http://172.18.1.91:7001/xmlpserver/servlet/report".
Customer could open Dashboard directly(just login Dashboard. no need to login BIP) until applied patch 13399232.
After applied this patch,BIP login scrren pop-up everytime when opening dashboard.
Customer's BIP is 10.1.3.4.
Is there any way to prevent BIP login pop-up?
I tested in my BIP 10.1.3.4 enviroment which patch 13399232 doesn't be applied in.
I got the different behaviour with customer's.
I have to login BIP everytime when I openning dashboard.
The only difference between my setting with Customer's is that I added
"Embedded Content" as http://jpdel1203.jp.oracle.com:7777/xmlpserver/~administrator/Test/Test.xdo (It's hostname not IP address)
Is there sth i should set between BIP and dashboard ?
Does anyone kindly advise it?
Thank you in advance.

Check your BIP integration with Analytics: BIP Admin integration with SAW. Ensure the user and password to proxy into BIP from BIEE is correct.

Pop-Ups windows are effectively being blocked in Safari, but some web-sites have updated their sites to open a window when you click on content on their site. This is not a Safari issues it is a web-site issue. I am not sure on how to stop these without stopping other features on the browser.

How to avoid submitting a page when tabular form rows are empty

Hi,
I have a master detail form in my application. There are 2 tables that are used Table A and Table B. Table A contains Ticket number and Table B refers to Table A through a foriegn key and Table B have columns like Date,Name, Age, ticket_id (that refers to the ticket_number of the Table A).
This is how the application works:
In a page there is a field for Ticket Number, once the user enters the Ticket Number and click Add Details, a tabular Form with 5 empty field appears... (Done through Page Process->Data Manipilation->Add Rows)
This form contains fields Date, Name and Age. Once the user fills in all the details and click Submit button, the page is submitted. Whatever values that was entered is saved in Table B. Page Sucess message appears. This works fine.
But once the Ticket Number is entered and Add Details is clicked, and without entering the values in the Tabular Form, if Submit button is clicked, there is no error showing up neither I see Page success message. But this should not be allowed. There should be some error showing up...
Tabular Form Validations works only when user enters some values in the Tabular Form and click Submit. For the above scenario, where the form is untouched the validation doesnt work.
How can I get this done? Any ideas?

Hello Suzi,
>> if (document.wwv_flow==null)
The document.wwv_flow is an object representing the current form that was just rendered on your screen. As such, it can never be null.
>> How to avoid submitting a page when tabular form rows are empty
The correct way, especially for versions prior to APEX 4.0 is to use JavaScript, but for that, you need to know and understand how APEX generates your tabular form, HTML wise.
To be very brief, APEX attached a unique ID to every updatable cell in the tabular form, using a certain pattern – each updatable column is getting a unique name (e.g. ‘f01’,’f02’ etc.) and the ID of a cell is a combination of this name with the serial row number the cell is on. For example, a cell on the third row in an updatable column called ‘f04’ will be given an ID of f04_0003. (More detailed explanation, with an example, can be found in my book).
What you should do is to check these cells according to your validation policy (e.g. is all five row must be filled, is all the columns in a specific row must be filled, etc.).

Arie.

You may have inadvertently installed adware. Eradicating it is simple and you don't have to download or install anything to fix it. For an explanation or how this may have occurred, how to avoid it in the future, and for one possible solution read How to install adware.
Blocking popup windows in Safari and ad blocker extensions can be useful, but they are often ineffective defenses for this particular threat.

Firstly do I need Adobe Flash?? (bit of a technophobe) but since I've done an UPDATE i keep getting pop ups when i look at amazon??

You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

How do you unblock pop ups?

It varies depending on the browser and browser version you're using. In Safari, click on the Safari menu and turn the block off; if that's not an option, choose Preferences and click on Security.

Error when running a report in BPC NW

I am getting the following error when running a report for my application in BPC NW.
EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from the Web Server (retrying in (X) seconds).
This error comes with this dialog option box to either continue or cancel retrying retrieving data. Retrying doesn't help either.
Any report I run (on any of my appsets), I get this error. I used the EVDRE function and also tried running a report using the template as the basis. But I get the error either way.
Does anyone know why this error is occurs or how to debug this issue. I saw some information about this in earlier threads but could not make much out of it.
Appreciate any assistance.

Sanjay,
This is a very generic error...Couple of places to look for....
1)Reprocess the application (Modify application + Reassign SQL Index + Process Application)
2)optimizing the application sometimes helps (Full Optimize + Compress Database + Index defragmentation).
3)Create a "evdataserver_debug.txt" in user's private publication folder on server side to populate very detail level logging and check the log on client side EVDRE_LOG.txt for further peek into where things are getting messed up.
if evdataserver_debug.txt does not get populated on BPC 5.x...it is an issue with IIS authetication on Application server.
4)You have to check the event viewer into .NET server and also the BPC logs which can be found into
BPC\Logging for further details ..
Hope this helps..

Is there a way to affect the URL used when running a report subscription?

We are using SQL Server 2008 R2. I am finding out that when running a report subscription to extract a file in csv format, an extra blank line is created at the bottom (i.e., extra line feed), and the mysterious BOM characters also get inserted at
the beginning. Both of these "features" are causing problems with a client's import of these files. Of course, it affects multiple clients.
I have done some research and have found information on how to edit the rsconfigserver file to render CSV files using ASCII and to not use Excel formatting. This removes both "features"/problems stated above.
However, editing the server config file will affect all csv extractions on that report server. Is there a way to control the URL of a specific report subscription to include these values (so only the reports that need the fix get it)? For example,
someone gave this URL as an example of how to add parameters including encoding in the URL. http://MyReportServer/ReportServer?%2fReport+Folder%2fReportName&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=CSV&rc:Encoding=ASCII
Is there a way to have the report subscription run the report using a URL like this so it extracts it without the BOM characters? I was thinking a data driven subscription would allow me to set the values like this, but these parameters are only pertinent
AFTER the report is run and only needed for the final rendering. Not sure how to do this. Maybe it's not possible. If it's not, that's fine. I just need to write a proposal to our DBA's to talk them into making a couple edits to the server config
file.
Has anyone ever worked around this before in SSRS?
Thank you!!
Dana

Hi DanaSSRS,
According to your description, you want to have some report exported into CSV file with ASCII encoding when running a subscription. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we run the subscription, it will call the Render Extension as we configured in rsreportserver.config file, we can't set the Render format with ASCII Encoding on subscription level. As you said, the Render Extension we configured
in the rsreportserver.config will apply to all reports. In this scenario, you only want that extension apply to specific reports. For your requirement, we suggest you add a custom Render Extension in configure file. You just need to copy the CSV Extension
and add a <OverrideNames/> to override a new name. Then set the <Encoding> in <Configure>. And you can select this custom Extension when creating the subscription. This might be the most effective workaround.
Reference:
Customizing Rendering Extension Parameters in RSReportServer.Config
CSV Device Information Settings
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Error when running a report writer

Hi,
I am getting an error ("Internal error: More than 999 GREP blocks were requested") when running a report writer.
The error diagnosis is:
Internal error: More than 999 GREP blocks were requested
Message no. GR 215
Diagnosis
An internal error occurred in the Report Writer.
When running the program, you selected the option to store your results
     permanently. However, when the selected data was stored in blocks in
     the GREP file, the maximum number of blocks was exceeded.
System Response
The selection program was terminated.
Procedure
Inform your system administrator.
You may have to increase the block size for the GREP blocks.
Anybody knows how to increase the size of GREP blocks?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Arun Mohan

Hello,
The reason for the error GR215 is that too many data blocks are being
processed.
The explanation is one of the following:
- You have variation activated in the report
- A large group of objects is being processed and the report output
   fails due to the large data size
- the selected data is reaching the technical restriction
Check the SAP note 64537. This note advises you to set the BLOCK SIZE parameter
in the coding to 500000. However, the maximum value possible is 999999. You may -
if you already implemented the coding change of SAP note 64537 - raise the parameter
once more to 999999.
If the error then still remains the selected/processed data is definitely too much.
Then check the report definition in comparison to SAP notes 317574 and 387414.

David
