How to design multi-lingual reports w.r.t. boilerplate text

Hi,
We need to design reports and report templates that are multi-lingual with respect to the boilerplate text in them.
How could this be done, if at all?
I am a bit familiar with the ideas about NLS parameters used to translate and format data that comes from the database, error messages etc., from other OTN posts and Reports documentation.
NLS stuff is NOT what I'm asking about.
Also, I don't think I need to mix languages in one report (or maybe is this part of a possible solution?)
Can I design a report which dynamically displays its boilerplate text parts in different languages, depending on the Windows locale of the user invoking the report?
Can I put all the boilerplate translations inside the report or some report 'configuration' file, rather than somewhere in the database?
If the report is set for batch production and automatic distribution, how would the scheduling mechanism tell the report which language to have its boilerplate text displayed at each invocation?
I think we'll be using Reports Builder 6i for development and will deploy on 9iAS R2 Reports Services. I'm not the actual developer, so I'm not sure about which Report Builder version will be used.
Thanks a lot,
Gabriel Tanase

hello,
there are several ways to do it. i guess the most practical way is to actually use the XML customization feature that is available with reports or use translation hub, but since you stated that you are using 6i this is not an option as translation hub is only available from 9i onwards.
however the XML customziation approach would work for 6i as well. essentailly you create your report and make sure all your boilerplate text items have a uniqe name. then you can create a customization file for each language that then changes the content of each of the poilerpalte items. those can be applied at runtime or in batch.
as for the scheduling, you would need to either pass in a parameter naming the customization file or simply run the correct language version of the report.
thanks,
ph.

How to Design Multi Page Report in SSRS 2008

Hi All,
I have managed to create a multi page report. When I am preview mode i can see that the report has 2 pages.
But when I am in design view I cannot view the second page. How can I view the second page. Reason being I am trying to create a template where the table for certain data needs to be at the top of the page and some data at the middle and so on.
Thanks in advance.
Aash.

Hi Aash2,
According to your description, the behavior of cannot view the second page in design view is expected, in another way, there is only one page in design view.
Report Designer supports two views: Design to define the report data and report layout, and
Preview to display a rendered view of the report. If you would like to show a table on the first page, and show the other table on the second page, you can add a page break on the first table like followings:
1. Click the gray handle in the first table, select “Tablix Properties”
2. Click “Add a page break after” check box under Page break options in General Tab
After do above, you can see the first table in the first page, and the other table in the second page.
For more details about report designer, please see the following article,
Working with Report Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281300(v=sql.110).aspx
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to generate multi-lingual applications with Designer?

In Designer 10g we have the definitions of hundreds of tables and views and
forms/reports modules. Currently all texts (prompts, hints, comments, help texts, etc) are in Dutch. Because of new customers in Germany, we now have to translate everything into German (and in the future also to French and English etc).
We know that we can use Translation Hub to translate forms and reports,
however, many tables/columns are used by more modules (sometimes 10 or more). So, the translation of each module with the Hub is very inefficient.
We are wondering if there are easier ways. For example, when we translate a
prompt of a tablecolumn, Designer (Headstart) can update all related module items. So, with one translation, we in fact translate many modules at once.
We could perhaps make a copy of the application, but that will work very
inefficiently because each modification has to be done on multiple
applications.
Has anyone a genius solution for this?
Thanks for your help, Jan Willem

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but there isn't a genius solution out there for you. And it isn't a Designer problem, it's an application architecture problem.
You'll notice that Headstart (since you've looked at that) does two things for you. One is that it has utilities to go update many items for you. Two is that it uses standard error and LOV tables which are multi-lingual based. You enter your messages and lookups in many languages (many rows per code, one per language) and the Headstart library logic displays the right row based on the code and the NLS setting. architecture.
In your case, where you have hard-coded everything, if you don't want to re-architect things, then your only solution is to clone things. Probably best off (based on other client experience) to just keep the single model in your base language, develop and gen as you have been, and then work your way through all the source code (database and application components) to do all the translation (as noted the Translation Hub can help some), and then implement each result. At least that way you know all the functional logic works. So you're not introducing any bugs (except for when the translated info is longer then the base info -- as we have here in Canada where French takes up more space then English). sorry. ugly.

Multi Lingual Report issue

Hi Everyone,
All our reports are multi lingual. By setting the "NLS_LANG" parameter the report displays french or spanish or english strings. The problem I am having is when I open this report in the report builder and make any change and save it, the report no longer displays the strings based on the "NLS_LANG" parameter. It only displays the strings in one language based on the "NLS_LANG" value that was set, when the report was saved.
Can any one help me with this issue. How do I save this report so that it continues to display strings/boiler plates based on the "NLS_LANG" parameter.
Thanks!

How to design group above report manualy

I want to design group above report manually. How can i define main repeating frame and then internal repeating frame like report builder.

Hi,
one possibel way is:
//-- loop through all master values
<?for-each:DEPT_ROW?>
//-- store the master key in a variable
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX,'v_DEPTNO',DEPTNO)?>
//-- Output of master data
<?DEPTNO?>
<?DNAME?>
//-- Loop through second dataset looking vor all data suitable to the current master key
<?for-each://EMP_ROW[xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'v_DEPTNO')=DEPTNO]?>
<?ENAME?>
<?JOB?>
<?end for-each?>
<?end for-each?>
Hope that helps

How too save multi page reports as .tif?

It seems like I had this one figured out at one time but now I don't see it. How do I save a multi page report, (the plots) as a .tif file?

Dear DIAdem user,
unfortunately DIAdem can't save multi page TIFF files directly but there is a solution using VBScript.
The attached script solves the problem if your system fulfills the following system requirements:
Operating System: Windows XP with SP1
Installed "Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0" (You can download this library from the Microsoft Download Center.)
The script first saves TIFF files from all lyout sheets in a loop. After that, one multi page TIFF file is created from all single page TIFF files by using the Windows Image Acquisition Library.
I hope this will help you!
Christian

How to insert multi-lingual information into an NVARCHAR column

Hi,
I've searched through the forum but couldn't find an answer, and have spent days on this already.
I have a Java Web Application, and the user may enter information in any language into one of the forms. I need to collect the user-input, and insert it into an Oracle 10g database.
My database settings:
WE8ISO8859P1 for Char/VarChar/CLOB fields and
AL16UTF16 for Nchar/Nvarchar/NCLOB fields
I have defined the columns that require multi-lingual support to be NVARCHAR.
My question is, how do I insert into this column? From what I read, it seems that no conversion needs to be done, but doing this:
update <table> set <column> = '什么'
does not work. The '什么' is some Chinese characters I copied and pasted from a Chinese site.
Apparently, if I convert the Chinese characters to a hex string and do this:
update <table> set <column> = unistr('\xxxx')
then it will work.
However, is there a way to avoid doing this conversion and let Oracle handles the conversion?
Thanks in advance,
Elaine

Hi Denes,
I saw the example in your workspace and it is the same what exactly i want and instead of storing in one column i want to store the two selected values into two different columns. Also i need to restrict the selection of checkboxes upto 2 only. So If the user tries to select the third check box it doesnt have to accept.
Even I am ready to change my table as according to your example i.e. creating only one column. Store the values of selection into that column.
I was unable to see how u wrote the logic (Code) for your example in your workspace. It helps alot if you provide me the code for that example(Multi Checkbox One Column).
I was facinated after watching your examples in your workspace and am very much interested to know more about Apex.
Please help me insolving this as it is long pending issue for my requirement.
Thanks a lot again,
Sekhar.

How to create multi level reports?

The report I have created contains 25 columns and is to wide. I would like to create a multi level report in the fashion of below:
Col 1 Col 2 Col 3
Row1 Row1 Row1

Col 5 Col 6 Col 7

Hi,
OK - I've put together a horizontal scrolling report template for a Theme 12/Standard report: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=33642:198]
To create this, you need to:
1 - Through Shared Components, Templates - create a new Report Template based on a copy of the existing Standard report template.
2 - When you have your new template, edit it.
3 - In the template's "Before Rows" setting, replace what's there with the following:
<style type="text/css">
#table1 th {white-space: nowrap}
#table1 td {white-space: nowrap}
#table2 th {white-space: nowrap}
#table2 td {white-space: nowrap}
</style>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" style="padding:0px; border-collapse:collapse;">#TOP_PAGINATION#
<tr><td>
<tr>
    <td style="vertical-align:top; background-color:#EFEFEF; padding:0px; border:1px solid darkgray;">
      <div id="d1" style="background-color:white; margin:0px; border:0px; padding:0px;">
      </div>
    </td>
    <td style="vertical-align:top; padding:0px; border:1px solid darkgray;">
      <div id="d2" style="overflow-X:scroll; margin:0px; border:0px; padding:0px; border-right:1px solid darkgray;">
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" class="t12Standard" id="table2">4 - In the template's "After Rows" setting, replace what's there with the following:
      </div>
    </td>
</tr>
</table><div class="t12bottom">#EXTERNAL_LINK##CSV_LINK#</div></td></tr>#PAGINATION#</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
var d1 = document.getElementById("d1");
var t2 = document.getElementById("table2");
var t1 = t2.cloneNode(false);
t1.style.width = "100%";
t1.id = "table1";
d1.appendChild(t1);
var t2Rows = t2.rows;
var k;
var r;
var c;
for (k = 0; k < t2Rows.length; k++)
r = document.createElement("TR");
t1.appendChild(r);
c = t2Rows[k].cells[0].cloneNode(true);
r.appendChild(c);
t2Rows[k].deleteCell(0);
d1.innerHTML += "";
</script>5 - On your report's Report Attributes, change the template used for the report from "Standard" to your new one
6 - Also on the report's Report Attributes, set "Enable Partial Page Refresh" to No - this is required as we need the javascript in the template to be run whenever pagination happens and Partial Page Refresh does not seem to allow us the means to trigger javascript
7 - Finally, on the report region's Region Footer, add in:
<style type="text/css">
#d1 {width:75px;}
#d2 {width:500px;}
</style>#d1 refers to the width of the frozen column and #d2 is the width of the rest of the report - you can adjust these figures as required.
The template contains two DIV tags - d1 and d2. Initially, d1 is empty and d2 contains the report. The javascript moves the first cell in each row from d2 to d1. The styles then add the scrolling functionality.

How to design Group Left Report using RTF method ( XML Publisher )

Hi,
I need to design Group Left Report using basic RTF method. I am able to design basic simple report and Group Above Report but I am not getting Group Left Report. Can anyone help me out.
Thx N Regs,
Khan.

Group Left report can be done using table consisting of 1 row and 2 columns. Group header goes to the column 1, group details go to the second column. Group details can be also designed using table, in this case you get table within table cell. "for-each.." statement for the upper level group to be placed in the left column before the group header data. "end for-each.." to be placed in the second column after the detail data.

How to design Customized ALV report like normal report !

hello,
there are several ways to do it. i guess the most practical way is to actually use the XML customization feature that is available with reports or use translation hub, but since you stated that you are using 6i this is not an option as translation hub is only available from 9i onwards.
however the XML customziation approach would work for 6i as well. essentailly you create your report and make sure all your boilerplate text items have a uniqe name. then you can create a customization file for each language that then changes the content of each of the poilerpalte items. those can be applied at runtime or in batch.
as for the scheduling, you would need to either pass in a parameter naming the customization file or simply run the correct language version of the report.
thanks,
ph.

How to make multi-line report headings?

Hi all,
By default, Apex creates a single-line report heading for each column in a report. To minimize white space, multi-line column headings are sometimes appropriate. How can Apex be directed to split a column heading at certain place(s)?
Thanks,
Kim
P.S. I'm running Apex 4.2.2.

How to design New WebUI report ?

Hi All,
I want to create new reports for Service Contract orders, which should be displayed in WebUI CRM7.
I am new to CRM, if anybody worked on this please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Umesh

You have 3 possibilities:
1. prepare ALV reports and call them via transaction launcher
2. install interactive reporting and CRM2007 has a nice simple wizard for creating reports for it
3. or install BW and cretae BW reports
In second and third case you also get some already predefined reports. About interacting and BW reporting there are alredy a lot of posts on this forum abou how to install it. And if you will decide for the first approach (ALV) there are also all steps about transaction launcher alraedy described in this forum. You just have to look for them.

How to design insertion and report for customers

I develop a web application in which I provide a web interface for inserting a customer. I model this customer as a class and provide its attributes. I have functions like addCustomer that inserts a customer's details in DB and getDetails() that returns a customer's attributes as an array. I have designed this for dealing with a single customer.
Now I want to list all customers from DB. I think another class should be created with a listing function that has multiple references(multiplicity) for the customer class. It is a easy task to retrieve all customer using a query and display it. But I don't know how to model this. I don't want to create one object for all available customers and display the details of each customer. Then How to model this and how to implement this using classes.
Can U tell me a resource or article that handles similar task.
Thanks.

Hi,
Create a POJO called customer ( plain java object which represent the persistant data ) and a Customer manager which is reponsible for retrieving a list of customer.
So the Customer manager will deal with retrieving the customer list.
