How to generate one report in multiple formats with FOP or BIP?

Hi all,
Is it possible to generate multiple formats of one report in a single "call" using Apache FOP or BI Publisher? (something similar to reports bursting).
Right now I can only select one format at a time.
Thank you,
Ana-Maria

Hi Ana-Maria,
When you enable printing on a report region or add a button to download a report query to your application, then you get a single document download. How would you see this working with "multiple formats"? Given that APEX is a development environment, you can pretty much implement anything you like. The built-in printing capabilities in APEX come with an API that allow for customization of the default functionality, e.g. you can use apex_util.download_print_document to dynamically assign report layouts at rumtime or to use you own XML data sources or XSL-FO style sheets. More relevant to you question though, there's also apex_util.get_print_document. What that allows you to do is to generate report documents inside the database and e.g. store them in database tables or email them out to a list of recipients. You can call this API as often as you like to, requesting any combination of available report formats.
The API function is documented here:

    Hi,
    You can create the Report directly in PDF by setting some of the Report Parameters
    i.e. DESTYPE, DESNAME AND DESFORMAT as follows before calling the Report.
    DECLARE
         PL_ID          PARAMLIST;
         PL_NAME     VARCHAR2(10) := 'param_list';
    BEGIN     
         PL_ID := GET_PARAMETER_LIST (PL_NAME);

    One 'simple' way is by using the DBMS_SCHEDULER db package and the procedure CREATE_JOB(....) using as job_type the value 'EXECUTABLE'...

    If you have access to OEM ... you can configure this there using wizard.....

  • How to generate oracle report in PCL format

    Hi,
    We are having an issue in our application where the output report(PDF) is getting generated in the Postscript format.
    The first few lines of the output pdf are like this:
    %!PS-Adobe-3.0
    %%Creator: Oracle Toolkit 2 for Motif 10.1.2.0.2 PRODUCTION
    %%Version: 10.1 2
    %%CreationDate: (Tue Feb 12 09:37:10 2013)
    However, the printer which we are using to print these PDF files accepts only PCL format and the print request is failing.
    Is there a way we can change the generated report format into PCL format.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as this issue is very critical to our application.
    Thanks in advance.

    We are trying to do this directly passing the below parameters
    desformat=PDF&destype=PRINTER&desname=<PrinterName>
    But the issue is the cached file which is getting generated is in PS format(Its on unix server) and printer is not accepting it.
    Even if we keep the output as file and then print the file using lpr command, result is same since the PDF file is in PS format.

  • Can we generate one report tab for each of the prompt values selected in the bobj 4.0 webi report.

    can we generate one report tab which filters
    with each prompt value selected in bobj 4.0 webi report.

    Hi Shrinidhi ,
    It can be achievable with static tabs created for each LOV .But this is not recommended because , object values can change dynamically .
    It is good idea to use section on prompt object in the report .With sections great feature available is in larger report it’s easy to navigate using map. It displays the section tree.You can select the particular LOV to navigate.

  • How do I generate a report in text format

    How do I generate a report in text format and send it to both a file and to a printer?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I run a series of tests on multiple stations and I need to generate a report, both electronic and one to be printed for a DHR (device history record), for each station. If I use file i/o as you suggested is the preferred approach to generate an electronic file and make the report from that, or generate both the electronic and hard copy report from arrays as the measurement data is acquired. Note that the electronic data is more detailed than the data in the hardcopy report.

    How to set the export option to PDF base on existing code ?
    Where can i download this package/jar ?
    regards

    Please find a console app that you can extend it to a JFrame app by importing the relevant swing package:
    //Crystal Java Reporting Component (JRC) imports.
    import com.crystaldecisions.reports.sdk.*;
    import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.lib.*;
    import com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.exportoptions.*;
    //Java imports.
    import java.io.*;
    public class ExportReport {
         static final String REPORT_NAME = "ExportReport.rpt";
         static final String EXPORT_FILE = "C:\\myExportedReport.pdf";
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              try {
                   //Open report.               
                   ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc = new ReportClientDocument();               
                   reportClientDoc.open(REPORT_NAME, 0);
                   //NOTE: If parameters or database login credentials are required, they need to be set before.
                   //calling the export() method of the PrintOutputController.
                   //Export report and obtain an input stream that can be written to disk.
                   //See the Java Reporting Component Developer's Guide for more information on the supported export format enumerations
                   //possible with the JRC.
                   ByteArrayInputStream byteArrayInputStream = (ByteArrayInputStream)reportClientDoc.getPrintOutputController().export(ReportExportFormat.PDF);
                   //Release report.
                   reportClientDoc.close();
                   //Use the Java I/O libraries to write the exported content to the file system.
                   byte byteArray[] = new byte[byteArrayInputStream.available()];
                   //Create a new file that will contain the exported result.
                   File file = new File(EXPORT_FILE);
                   FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(file);
                   ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(byteArrayInputStream.available());
                   int x = byteArrayInputStream.read(byteArray, 0, byteArrayInputStream.available());
                   byteArrayOutputStream.write(byteArray, 0, x);
                   byteArrayOutputStream.writeTo(fileOutputStream);
                   //Close streams.
                   byteArrayInputStream.close();
                   byteArrayOutputStream.close();
                   fileOutputStream.close();
                   System.out.println("Successfully exported report to " + EXPORT_FILE);
              catch(ReportSDKException ex) {
                   ex.printStackTrace();
              catch(Exception ex) {
                   ex.printStackTrace();
