How to check the report builder version from the rdf file

Hi,
I have a rdf file but I don't the developer using which version of report builder to develop the rdf file. So, does anyone knows how to check the rdf file is developed by which version of report builder?
When I try to use the notepad to open the rdf file, it shows the string "ROS.60050". So, does it means that the rdf file is developed by Oracle report 6i?
Besides, do anyone knows if Oracle report 6i are still offer from Oralce (as I know, the latest verison of oracle report is 11g). So, in case Oralce not offer oracle 6i and I need to buy oracle report 11g, do u know it is compatiable or I need to do the migration from 6i to 11g?
Thanks!

Hi,
The ROS version you are seeing in the RDF file does not mean the version where that RDF was developed. I am not aware of a way to check this but something that may help is that when you try to open a RDF developed in a higher version
of Reports with a lower version of Reports builder the following warning will be displayed
Warning. Opening a report saved with a newer version of Reports Builder.
Functionality may be lost. Continue?
"You tried to open a report with a version of Reports Builder older than the version used to
create the report. If the report uses functionality unavailable in the older version, that
functionality will be eliminated from the report.
Regarding Oracle Developer 6i. This version is not supported any more. Regarding how to upgrade Reports 6i to 11g and what to have in mind during the upgrade please review the following documentation.

  • Deployment Rule Sets do not properly launch the latest available version from the JRE6 family when the jpi-version is specified by the RIA

    Issue Summary
    In Java 1.7 Update 71, Java 1.7 Update 72 and Java 1.8 Update 25 Deployment Rule Sets do not properly launch the latest available version from the JRE6 family when the jpi-version is specified by the RIA.  We've noticed this with Oracle Forms and Reports 11g where we have forms that specify Java 1.6 Update 20.  We used to be able to specify Java 1.6 Update 26 in our Ruleset, but now the only version a that works in our ruleset is Java 1.6 Update 20 which is the same version requested by the JPI-Version attribute of the jar.  The long term solution would be to upgrade Oracle Forms and Reports, however this isn't currently in the cards.

    &lt;/rule&gt;
    &lt;/ruleset&gt;
    Test 1 (Control)
    Installed Java Versions:
    – 1.7 Update 51 b13 (both x86 and x64 however x86 is invoked)
    – 1.6 Update 26 b03 (both x86 and x64 however x86 is invoked)
    Deployment Ruleset works as expected for both URLs
    Test 2
    Installed Java Versions:
    – 1.7 Update 72 (both x86 and x64 however x86 is invoked)
    – 1.6 Update 26 b03 (both x86 and x64 however x86 is invoked)
    The RuleSet works for JavaTester.org however on internaldomain.name we get the following error:
    With the trace logging turned on, I suspected the version attribute supplied by the RIA. I was able to trick Java by adding the following to my system deployment.properties file:
    deployment.javaws.jre.0.product=1.6.0_20
    deployment.javaws.jre.0.path=C\:\\Program Files (x86)\\Java\\jre6\\bin\\javaw.exe
    deployment.javaws.jre.0.enabled=true
    Because the RIA requests 1.6.0_20 it matches 1.6* from the deployment ruleset sooner than 1.6.0_26. However, if 1.6.0_20 is not available 1.6.0_26 should match according to the Deployment Rule Set documentation:
    http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jweb/security/deployment_rules.html
    The version of the JRE that is used is determined by the following order of precedence:
    1. The current version of the JRE is used if it is available and matches both the version attribute and the version requested by the RIA.
    2. The latest available version of the JRE is used if it matches both the version attribute and the version requested by the RIA.
    3. The current version of the JRE is used if it is available and matches the version attribute.
    4. The latest available version of the JRE is used if it matches the version attribute.
    If no version is available that meets the criteria, then the RIA is blocked, and a message is shown to the user. To provide a custom message, include the message element.
    As a result:
    If Java 1.6.0_20 is listed in the version requested by the RIA and 1.6.0_20 is listed in the deployment.properties file, #1 matches.
    If Java 1.6.0_20 is listed in the version requested by the RIA, but 1.6.0_20 is NOT listed in the deployment.properties file the #1 SHOULD match, but doesn’t. It used to match up-to and including JRE 1.7 Update 51 however the ruleset appears to no longer match in subsequent versions.
    #2 should never match with our current Deployment Ruleset. It would match if we specified 1.7* as a version in the Ruleset.xml.
    #3 used to be broken as well after JRE 1.7 Update 51 however this bug has been marked as fixed. See: http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8032781
    I have reproduced this issue with Java 1.7 Update 71, Java 1.7 Update 72, and Java 1.8 Update 25 when one of these versions are installed with Java 1.6 Update 26.

    The interesting parts in this post are as follows;
    When an after-market graphics card is installed into a motherboard with UEFI enabled in the system BIOS, or if the system is a certified Windows 8 PC with Secure Boot enabled, the system may not boot.
    UEFI is a new system BIOS feature that is provided on most new motherboards. A UEFI system BIOS is required in order for the Windows 8 Secure Boot feature to work. Secure boot is enabled by default on certified Windows 8 PCs.
    In order to get the PC to boot with a graphics card that does not contain UEFI firmware, the end-user must first disable the secure boot feature in the system's SBIOS before installing the graphics card.
    Note: Some system SBIOS's incorporate a feature called compatibility boot. These systems will detect a non-UEFI-enabled firmware VBIOS and allow the user to disable secure boot and then proceed with a compatibility boot. If the system contains a system SBIOS the supports compatibility boot, the user will need to disable secure boot when asked during boot process
    This leads me to believe that the BIOS update that wrecked my setup was 9SKT58A/9SJT58A, which only contains one change;
    "Adds support for updating BIOS from a WIN7 BIOS to a WIN8 BIOS".
    I've just ordered a cheap UEFI-compatible GT640 from Gainward, so I hope I'll be able to try that out this weekend.

  • Report "General Ledger from the Document File" - Cumulative balance

    Hi!
    When I start the report "General Ledger from the Document File" (transaction S_ALR_87100205), I get a list of documents with no obvious default sort order criteria (I can see at glance that document numbers and posting dates are not sort criteria). This makes the cumulative balance column completely useles.
    Since the cumulative balance is carried from one row to another, standard sorting functionality for the already produced list makes no sense.
    There should be a way to affect the sort order in program <b>before</b> cumulative balance calculation, or at least to find it out.
    Is there a way to acomplish this?
    Thanks!
    Regards,
    Igor

    In the output control section there is a button called configure. Select a variant. Select configure. Save the sort order and report definition the way you want it. Name a new variant. Now go back and run the report with your variant.
    pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

    Hi,
    I've a custom report in which i need to display a large string, of more than 4000 characters. To cater to this requirement i've written a formula column which displays string upto 4k characters and for a string of size beyond 4k i am calling a procedure which uses a temp table having a clob field.
    For a small string the report runs fine but whenever a large string requirement comes into the picture, said procedure gets triggered and i get REP-0002: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file.

  • How to convert the Report Builder output to .xls

    Dear All,
    Let me please know how to convert the Report Builder output to Excel Format.
    As there are having the facility to convert the output in .PDF or .HTML format but i want to convert that into Excel Sheet......
    Please Guide me in this regards
    Thanks in advance
    Regards,
    Vishal......

    Hello,
    If your question is about the format spreadsheet, it is not possible from Reports Builder :
    http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/topics/htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs/rwwhthow/whatare/output/output_a_simpleexcel.htm
    Restrictions
    It is not possible to generate spreadsheet output directly from Reports Builder. Instead, on the command line, you can run the report using rwrun or Reports Server clients (rwservlet, rwclient, rwcgi), with DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET. You cannot store DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET as a system parameter value in the report definition (.rdf file).

  • How the data is fetched from the cube for reporting - with and without BIA

    hi all,
    I need to understand the below scenario:(as to how the data is fetched from the cube for reporting)
    I have a query, on a multiprovider connected to cubes say A and B. A is on BIA index, B is not. There are no aggregates created on both the cubes.
    CASE 1: I have taken RSRT stats with BIA on, in aggregation layer it says
    Basic InfoProvider     *****Table type      ***** Viewed at      ***** Records, Selected     *****Records, Transported
    Cube A     ***** blank ***** 0.624305      ***** 8,087,502      ***** 2,011
    Cube B     ***** E ***** 42.002653 ***** 1,669,126      ***** 6
    Cube B     ***** F ***** 98.696442 ***** 2,426,006 ***** 6
    CASE 2:I have taken the RSRT stats, disabling the BIA index, in aggregation layer it says:
    Basic InfoProvider     *****Table Type     *****Viewed at     *****Records, Selected     *****Records, Transported
    Cube B     *****E     *****46.620825     ****1,669,126****     6
    Cube B     *****F     ****106.148337****     2,426,030*****     6
    Cube A     *****E     *****61.939073     *****3,794,113     *****3,499
    Cube A     *****F     ****90.721171****     4,293,420     *****5,584
    now my question is why is here a huge difference in the number of records transported for cube A when compared to case 1. The input criteria for both the cases are the same and the result output is matching. There is no change in the number of records selected for cube A in both cases.It is 8,087,502 in both cases.
    Can someone pls clarify on this difference in records being selected.

    Hi,
    yes, Vitaliy could be guess right. Please check if FEMS compression is enabled (note 1308274).
    What you can do to get more details about the selection is to activate the execurtion plan SQL/BWA queries in data manager. You can also activate the trace functions for BWA in RSRT. So you need to know how both queries select its data.

  • How to pass an array or structure, in addition to a query, or multiple queries to the Report Builder as parameters

    Is there a way to pass an array or structure for example as parameters, in addition to a query, or multiple queries to the Report Builder in CF8? I believe this was recommended by users to be in CF8.

    BrianO,
    Although it's been a while, I thought I'd provide the code to do this for you. It works for me in CF8, and probably will in CF7.
    Here I create a structure called My, and provide that one parameter to my CFReportParam tag.
    <CFSet My = {
    Client = "Client Name",
    ReportDateFrom = DateFormat(ThisStartDate, DateMask),
    ReportDateTo = DateFormat(ThisEndDate, DateMask),
    PageHeaderImage = ImagePath & "\Logos\Page_Header.png",
    WatermarkImage = ImagePath & "\Logos\Watermark.png",
    GetBarSummary = GetBarSummary,
    GetPieSummary = GetPieSummary
    }>
    <CFReport Template="#ReportPath#\SpendSummary.cfr" Format="PDF" Query="GetSummary">
    <CFReportParam Name="My" Value="#My#">
    </CFReport>
    Inside the report itself, reference the given parameter as Param.My.PageHeaderImage for example. It can be referenced that way from any expression inside the report builder. You can even use the queries as the data source for charts (using the Data From a Query -> Query Builder -> Advanced) by entering "Param.My.GetPieSummary" where it says "Variable containing query object".

    Hi Jay,
    Thanks for sharing your analysis.
    The only reason I could think logically is BWA is having information in both E and F tables in one place and hence after selecting the records, it is able to aggregate and transport the reords to OLAP.
    In the second case, since E and F tables are separate, aggregation might be happening at OLAP and hence you see more number of records.
    Our Experts in BWA forum might be able to answer in a better way, if you post this question over there.
    Thanks,
    Krishnan

  • How to Invoke Oracle report builder installed on a server from a client

    Hi,
    I am using rwrun60 command to invoke report builder through a shell script. In this case the report builder is installed on the same machine where the shell script exists.
    But now i have shell script which is on different server (say, Server1) and Report builder is on Server-2. How do i handle this?
    the current piece of code i am using in the shell script is:
    rwrun60 module=${UNCPATH}/${REPORT_DIR}/purchase.rdf userid=$DBID/$DBPASS@$DB paramform=NO batch=YES destype=File desformat=pdf desname=${SENDFILE}
    Your help will be invaluable...

    Hi Denis,
    I used both rwrun60 & rwcli60 commands as below:
    rwrun60 module=${UNCPATH}/${REPORT_DIR}/abc.rdf userid=$DBID/$DBPASS@$DB EXPRESS_SERVER="server=Server123/domain=xyz/user=myname/password=password123" ERRFILE=${UNCPATH}/${DIR}/error_test.txt paramform=NO batch=YES destype=File desformat=pdf desname=${UNCPATH}/${SENDFILE}

    When i run the shell script file on the command prompt, all i get is this error:
    rwrun60: test_outapp 42: not found
    42 is the line number of rwcli60 command in the shell script file.
    I verified and test_outapp.ksh file is present in the path specified..... even then why this error?...something wrong with the above code?
