How to specify PDF Version while generating reports

Hi,
We are using Oracle Reports 10.1.2
We need PDF Version 1.4. But currently we are getting PDF version 1.3.
How to specify PDF Version as 1.4 while generating the reports?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks,
Krrish

Hello,
You can open the PDF generated by Reports with a text editor : you'll find something like :
%PDF-1.4
1 0 obj

    THAT IS I LIKE TO TRANSLATE EXCEL DOCUMENT FROM ENGLISH LANGUAGE TO VIETNAMESE LANGUAGE WHILE GENERATING REPORT IN BI-server

    You mean XL is used as a source here for OBIEE. Whatever is the source you need to implement OBIEE Multilingual functionality. Remember there are four types of Multilingual Support in OBIEE:
    - presentation services like Answers, Dashboard links and all
    - Catalog like Report Name, Dashboard Names and all
    - RPD Externalize Strings to see the subject area in required language
    - Data where the reports generated will have data stored in different languages in an extended dimension table.
    You require the 4th type here so you need to maintain a extended dimension table in DB which is used in RPD to be picked up by BI server based on language selected(language id)/WEBLANGUAGE system variable
    Hope this helps..

  • Unable to view settings tab in one GPO. "An error occurred while generating report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

    You can filter ADM templates to show configured ones only, and you can
    use the "show all settings" node. This will speed the work up - a little
    bit at least :)

  • GPM Custom GPO-Settings: An error occurred while generating report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

    Hello,
    As you can tell from the title of this question, I am no expert with GPO's.  Before I begin, I spent a few minutes to an hour searching and reading in hopes of finding the solution and avoid putting myself out there as a "GPO Newb".  While
    I found several posts and answers that were similar and were related, the questions and answers were more advanced and did present the solutions providing the person had initial knowledge already.  That is not necessarily my case and I would ask for a
    little patience and a bit of 'hand-holding' for what I need.
    I run SBS 2011, and in Group Policy Management I have a custom GPO.  In this GPO I define all my settings.  I understand this may not be the best or most practical method of applying policies, but I am not very strict and have few settings.  This
    policy existed prior to my joining the company, and was migrated in to this SBS '11 from SBS '03.  That may be the issue, but before making any changes I am seeking expert advice.
    When I select that GPO, named "Main GPO", and click on the tab at the top "Settings" I see the error: "An error occurred while generating report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
    I saw that when I right click the GPO > View > Options and select the tab "Reporting" that it states that for reporting to work the location of the .adm files must be specified.  I see that my option for the location is set to "Default"
    which by my guessing would be located in the C:\Windows\sysvol directory.  Below is what I see there:
    C:\Windows\sysvol\domain
    C:\Windows\sysvol\staging
    C:\Windows\sysvol\staging areas
    C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol
    I think the problem is that my custom GPO are not inside the default location, which I speculate is: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies (which I do see some objects there).
    But instead I also see items in this folder: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies (while where I just typed 'JOHN.LOCAL' is my actual local domain).
    To further this, when I edit that custom GPO, then at the very top of the tree I right click on it and select Properties, I see a Unique Name listed there as a long string of numbers and letters, similar to a registry entry.  I searched my server for
    that same Unique Name and found it listed inside the folder: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
    If I am correct with my assumption and basic knowledge, I should move all objects as follows:
    -Move FROM: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
    -Move TO: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies
    My concerns are that I am not correct at all, that I will break something, that there may be an easier fix than moving anything, or that I am overlooking something causing this error altogether. 
    Thank you for anyone's help and time with assisting me with this request.

    > top "Settings" I see the error: "An error occurred while generating
    > report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
    That's due to a security setting (most possibly) your current OS does
    not understand. Hard to find out wich exact setting it is... To resolve
    this issue, we need the gtpptmpl.inf file residing in the policiy's
    sysvol folder. To open this folder, edit the policy, move to computer
    settings - policies - windows settings - scripts - startup, press "show
    files". Then move two folders upwards and back down to
    .\microsoft\windows nt\secedit. There you'll see the gpttmpl.inf - post
    its contents and we'll have a look at it.
    > location, which I speculate is: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies (which

    That's perfectly ok - JOHN.LOCAL in fact is a symlink pointing to "domain".
    > all objects as follows:
    > -Move FROM: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies

    Can you please suggest any work around for this?

    I'm not referring to Servlet threading issues.
    I'll clarify.
    You have two threads, both entering ReportClientDocument.open(...) method.
    Thread 4 is waiting to acquire 'com.crystaldecisions.reports.queryengine.av@15214b9'
    Thread 0 is waiting to acquire ''com.crystaldecisions.reports.queryengine.av@12e0415'
    So I'm thinking ??? are they the same objects?
    My specific question concerning the ReportClientDocument is that both are calling open - i.e., trying to open a new report.  You wouldn't be trying to open different reports using the same ReportClientDocument - so was wondering if you've cached the RCD and trying to open two different reports at the same time on the same instance via different threads.
    You'd normally tie a ReportClientDocument instance to a HTTP Session, to ensure each user gets their own copy.

  • Error While generating Report

    Hi ,
    I am facing 1 problem while generating Report.
    I am trying to generate a report based on one Users global attribute.
    I have customized the USER UI CONFIG and Uer Report task to generate a report like this.
    I created a new report to generate report and in that report I have given the condition as that attribute equals to some value "true" / "False".
    But there are some users who has this attribute value as true and whose accounts are not properly created in a resource LDAP So this User view is containing some error.
    Hence when I try to run the newly created report as it tries to iterate on the user objects whose view is containg some errors ,the report is not properly getting generated and giving exception as error in calling the method getResourceobjects on LDAP.
    What can I do now ? What is the alternative for me? I want to generate the report on that attribute only.....
    It is very urgent for me and Can anyone please help me out....
    it would be so great if there is any immediate reponse for this.

  • FREC Error while Generating Reports in Quality Center

    Hi,
    We usually generate reports using Dashboard module of Quality Center . While generating reports on  a particular PC, we are getting the following error.
    The SQL Query <sheet1> has failed to run, with the following error:
    Returned Result is not valid FREC.
    We are able to generate the same report on a different PC.
    Does anyone encounter this issue earlier? Could someone help us out in solving this issue.

    Issue popped up with me a few times and seemingly uncontrolled.
    I resolved one query with replacing quotes in the string i.e. replace single with double by replace([field],chr(39),chr(34))

  • How to Specify Which Version of Rsync on Server Side

    I have installed rsync 3.0.6 on both client and server side and know how to specify which version to use on the client side but am I right in assuming that if I don't specify some how on the server side it will use the version stored in /usr/bin/rsync? Do I have to move the version stored in /usr/local/bin/rsync to /usr/bin?

    How can I limit version status of Report or others components?
    If somebody knows please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    What exactly do you mean ?
    Do you mean you don't want the version number of the packaged components (e.g. forms reports etc) every time you make a change ?
    If that is the case then I don't think you can do that.
    You may be better served asking this question in the Portal Component Forum

  • How to specify page encoding for XML reports.

    Hi,
    Environment: Apps:11.5.10, Oracle Reports: 10g
    I'm trying to generate XML tags by using a "rdf" report (10g).
    Initially I generated the XML tags before moving the report to server. In the output file I got
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252"?>
    Then I moved the report to server and made the concurrent program output to XML.
    In the concurrent program output the tag is
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="&Encoding"?>
    The output shows error
    ===============
    XML Parsing Error: XML declaration not well-formed
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="&Encoding"?>
    Its clear that there is something wrong with page encoding format which has to get assigned while run time. But its not happening so.
    How to specify the page encoding format?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you
    BKR.
    Edited by: BalaKrishna Reddy Avuthu on Aug 14, 2009 2:00 PM

    Remove the encoding so it says:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    Also, you will get a similar error if your xml tags for fields contain any special characters like & or #.

  • Issue while generating report using web.show_document with https

  • How do I access(read) dynamically generated reports with WebLogic WebServer

    Hello Everyone,
    In our application we are generating reports (pdf format) at run time. How do
    we read these files.....which directory should we store these files to... I am
    using Weblogic 6.0.
    These files have timestamp as part of their name so the names are not static.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ahsen

    We ran into this also. If you read the J2EE specs carefully you will see
    that your app is only guaranteed to have write-access to a single directory,
    defined by the context attribute "javax.servlet.context.tempdir" -- I can
    find the exact reference if you want.
    Here is how to get this attribute:
    File tempdir = (File) getServletContext()
    .getAttribute("javax.servlet.context.tempdir");
    log.debug("context temp dir = " + tempdir.getAbsolutePath());
    Although this may seem horribly restrictive, it makes a lot of sense on a
    secure system where applications are deployed by a specific user, and may
    have at runtime minimal filesytem priviledges -- your app can't write
    anywhere, at the exception of the context temp dir. I know this would be the
    way I'd setup my container on a Unix system for example.
    So, what's a developer to do? You can either bypass the issue and always
    generate your content dynamically, with a servlet setting the appropriate
    MIME type to the output, or write your reports to the context temp dir and
    manually serve content from there.
    Frankly I think the first option is by far the most simple, easier to
    implement, and thus attractive; if it leads to a performance problem, you
    can always solve that with a Web cache. Doing otherwise (caching the content
    yourself) opens the door to many issues, that really shouldn't be your
    problem as a Web application developer. Keep it simple!
