How to start Discoverer from a JSP

Hello,
Can Discoverer be opened from within a JSP? One of our clients would like to allow their end-users to create, print, export, and maybe email reports from within their Java application. Currently, the reports are created overnight via a mainframe program which generates a generic COBOL report that gets archived to a cold storage product. The requirement to allow ad-hoc customizable reports is what I'm unsure of. Can Discoverer do this?

Hi,
You can open Discoverer from a URL so your JSP could redirect to a Discoverer URL or open Discoverer in a new browser window. Discoverer would then run in a separate JVM on the client.
An alternative is to have a Discoverer workstation networked to your server, that runs Discoverer reports either overnight or on request from users. The reports output from the workstation are then emailed/printed or returned to the user as HTML.
Hope that helps,
Rod West

  • Starting Discoverer from Oracle E-Business-Suite R12

    Hi!
    At the moment im integrating Oracle Discoverer 10g with Oracle E-Business-Suite R12. (Metalink Note: 373634.1)
    But how do i start Discoverer from E-Business-Suite?
    Is there a spezial responsibility or a spezial link?
    Or do i have to start discoverer as standalone server:port/discoverer/viewer?
    But in this case, how can i connect to the e-business-suite-database?
    Is there any Metalink Note for this? (eg. Using Discoverer 10g with E-Business-Suite R12 Users Guide?)
    Thank you for your help!
    Best regards,
    Thomas

    Hi,
    Check that your ICX Discoverer profiles are set correctly and check Note 278095.1 for how to link to workbook.

  • How can start service from the spfile, on  Windows 2003,

    On Windows 2003, how can start service from the spfile?
    connect to the database as sysdba and startup will start from the spfile.
    Once I use wondows Service for shutting down and startup datbase it start from the pfile.
    Which defeat my ability to change parameters at the system level.

    Hi,
    I'm not sure, but maybe your windows Instance service was created with
    C:\> oradim -new -sid <SID> -startmode m -pfile C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\pfile\init.ora
    then, you need edit this service with command like below:
    C:\> oradim -EDIT -SID <SID> -spfile C:\oracle\product\10.1.0\admin\spfile<SID>.ora
    Take a look on this link before make any changes:

  • FaceTime and iChat?..how to start chat from my iPad to a Mac on iChat?

    how to start chat from my iPad to a Mac on iChat?

    Yes, that is exactly what I mean.
    The iPad can only do FaceTime and FaceTime is NOT linked (compatible) with iChat.
    If your parents have an older Mac, or are only on Leopard, Tiger or such, you could use Skype.
    It's free. The video quality isn't quite as good, but it does work. Your parents would need the Skype program installed on their Mac. You can download the free Skype for iPad.

  • Utl_file how to start reading from a certain position?

    Hi all,
    i'm currently using utl_file to read a text file and import to db. i have managed to do it. however i would like to avoid reading the first line as it is the header. i would also like to avoid the last line as it is the footer.
    how do i use the function of get line to start reading at a certain position? i am also able to get the length but i do not know how to make it start reading from a certain position.
    the length of the first line will always be 9 and length for the last line would be 51.
    here's my code so far:
    set serveroutput on
    declare
    vSFile   utl_file.file_type;
    vNewLine VARCHAR2(4000);
    file_name VARCHAR2(200) := 'read.txt';
    v_exist     BOOLEAN;
    v_length number;
    blocksize   NUMBER;
    temp_value varchar2 (4000);
    BEGIN
      vSFile := utl_file.fopen('MYDIR', file_name,'r');
      IF utl_file.is_open(vSFile) THEN
        LOOP
          BEGIN
            utl_file.get_line(vSFile, vNewLine);
            IF vNewLine IS NULL THEN
              EXIT;
            END IF;
          EXCEPTION
            WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
              EXIT;
          END;
        END LOOP;
        UTL_FILE.FGETATTR('MYDIR',file_name,v_exist,v_length,blocksize);
        dbms_output.put_line(v_length);
        COMMIT;
      END IF;
      utl_file.fclose(vSFile);
    END read_demo;

    Hi,
    utl_file has an fseek procedure for moving the file pointer around in a file, either absolute or relative number of bytes.
    It's in the documentation, I'm surprised you didn't see it there when you looked before going to the hassle of asking us a question.

  • How to get result from another JSP file?

    I have to write a jsp (my.jsp) to get information from another jsp file (other.jsp).
    The other.jsp return integer value (0 / 1) so that user can tell if certain service is available or not. And in my.jsp I need to collect such result and other information from a text file to make up of a XML string.
    How can I call other.jsp to get the result? Thanks a lot.

    Hi, I think I didn't describe the problem clearly
    enough. In fact, there is a JSP file, and if our
    database is currently connected, the JSP will return
    value 1, otherwise, it will return 0. My java program
    need to get that result, and then form an XML string,
    and send the string back to the client. I'm just
    wonder how can I write such a program to read result
    from JSP file. Thanks a lot.Why is this function implemented as a JSP file? It should be implemented as a bean. It would be simple to get the information you require from that bean.

  • How to Start Skype from the background from command line?

    Hello. 
    My window manager is Evilwm and I am running Skype.  If I close the Skype window (the one w/ my buddies listed) the window closes but Skype is still running in memory.  On another window manager like Openbox a small Skype icon sits in the taskbar as long as it is running.  If I want to start Skype to see who is online I simply click the icon in the taskbar.   
    Now, the question is...How can I start skype from the command line while it is running in the background?
    Evilwm doesn't have any taskbar or tray thingie...
    Any ideas? 
    Any advice is appreciated! 
    Thanks!
    nedson :?:

    Thats what I thought...
    What I wanted to do was call Skype from memory.  Under Evilwm I can close a window with ctrl-alt-x (using a hacked version of EvilWm) .  After cloasing the window with this method, skype is still running in memory (I can see it when running ps aux).  How can I call it out of memory?  I don't want to stop the program, start it back up and re login.  I just simply want to call it from the background...
    Any ideas?

  • How to start video from specific time

    hey frnds,
    how can we start video from given time in osmf player and also how to ad cue point to stop it

    I'd like to do something similar , i.e load a streaming resource but have it play from time "n" rather than time 0.
    I looked at clipStart, but that seems to truncate the video to start from time n, in other words when I use clipStart, I dont seem to be able to seek to a point between 0 and "n"
    Using play() and then seek() to "n", seems to work but causes it to buffer twice, which looks really bad to a user who just wants to start the video from time "n".
    Is there another way to achieve this?
    Thanks,

  • How to start KDE4 from slim?

    Hi Everybody
    I have slim as the LogIn manager.
    Also kde3 and openbox as my standard DE
    Now I wanted to give KDE4 a try.
    But how can I start it from slim?
    startkde of course starts my KDE3 from /opt/kde.
    And another startkde in /usr/bin doesnt exist.

    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SLIM
    Did using exec startkde not work?
    Ah, wait. Are you using both KDE3 and KDE4? (You should have said so more clearly)
    I would suggest typing the full pathname to the startkde you want.
    Ahead of time, if you're using the official repos, I would switch to KDEmod if only for compatibility between KDE3 and KDE4. There's been problems I believe with using both from the official repos. KDEmod3 and KDEmod4 work fine together. If you really don't like KDEmod, a chroot might be the only solution.
    Myself though, I wouldn't even try running both - no need, unless you for some reason truly need both at once. For just testing, backing up your .kde config folder and then removing KDE3 and getting 4 should be enough - you can go back if you want after.
