How to use URL in report

Hi ALL,
i m using apex 4.0, in page edit section, in report attribute, there is option external processing.
in external processing, url and link label are two fields.
in url: www.oracle.com
link label: oracle
click on apply changes , but nothing will happen on report.
can anyone tell how it work on report.
regards
prashant.

This old posting says that it is used for post-processing using an external engine: {thread:id=656390}
I found the same explanation in the documentation again. But nothing further could be found, the link for "See Application Express Studio to learn more" is invalid. And separate google searches or taht doesn't get me anything about external processing.

JNI - How to use the error reporting mechanism?

I've developed a C++ DLL which is loaded from a commercial Win32 application (not written by me) as a plug-in for external calculations. On its initialization the C++ DLL launches the Java VM via the JNI invocation interface. When the DLL functions are called by the application, they forward the calls to Java objects inside the Java VM, again via JNI invocation interface.
This works well, but I have encountered a weird error.
From Java I open a JFrame containing a JTextArea as small console for debug output messages. If I turn output to this debug console off (my printToConsole routine checks whether a boolean flag is set), the string concatenation operator may lead to a crash of the Java VM.
For example, if in one of the Java functions called from the
DLL via JNI invocation interface the following is the first statement,
it leads to a crash of the Java VM and the application that loaded the C++ proxy DLL.
String test=""+Math.random(); // String test not used later
Interestingly, if I comment this statement out, the Java code works fine WITHOUT any crash. I've already thought about potential races and synchronization issues in my code, but I don't see where this is the case. And the string concatenation error fails as well, if I insert sleep() statements in front of it and at other places in the code. However, if I turn on log messages printed to my JFrame debug console (containing a JTextArea), the String concatenation works without problems.
So maybe the JNI interface has a bug and affects the Java VM; I don't see where my JNI code is wrong.
One problem is that I do not get any stdout output, as the C++ proxy DLL is loaded by the Windows application, even if I start the Windows application from the DOS command line (under Windows).
Does anyone know how to use the error reporting mechanism?
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/vm/error-handling.html
Is it possible that the JVM, when it crashes, writes debug information about the crash into a file instead of stdout/stderr?
My C++ proxy DLL was compiled in debug mode, but the commercial application (which loaded the DLL) is very likely not.
I do not know hot to find the reason why the String concatenation fails inside the Java function called from the C++ DLL via JNI.

Yes, I've initially thought about errors in the C++ code too. But the C++ code is actually very simple and short. It doesn't allocate anything on the C++ side. It allocates a couple of ByteBuffers inside the Java VM however via JNI invocation interface calls of env->NewDirectByteBuffer(). The native memory regions accessed via the ByteBuffers are allocated not by my own C++ code, but by the program that calls my DLL (the program is Metastock).
The interesting thing is that everything works fine if output to my debug console is enabled, which means that in the Java print routine getConsoleLoggingState() returns true and text is appended to the jTextArea.
static synchronized void print(String str)
{ MetaStockMonitor mMon=getInstance();
if ( mMon.getFileLoggingState() && mMon.logFileWriter!=null) {
mMon.logFileWriter.print(str);
mMon.logFileWriter.flush();
if ( mMon.getConsoleLoggingState() ) {
mMon.jTextArea1.append(str);
Only if output to the JTextArea is turned off (ie. getConsoleLoggingState()==false), the crash happens when the FIRST statement in the Java routine called via JNI invocation interface is a (useless) String concatenation operation, as described above.
String test=""+Math.random(); // String test not used later
Moreover, the crash happens BEFORE the allocated ByteBuffer objects are accessed in the Java code. But again, if console output is turned on, it works stable. If console output is turned off, it works when the (useless) String concatenation operation is removed in the Java routine called from C++.
I've already thought about potential races (regarding multiple threads), but this can be ruled out in my case. It almost appears as if the JVM can have problems when called by the invocation interface (I tested it with Java 1.4.2 b28).
All the calls between C++ and Java go ALWAYS in the direction from C++ code to Java. Unfortunately, there is no special JRE version with extensive logging capabilities to facilitate debugging. And the problem is not easily reproducible either.

How to use URL class instead of Socket

Hi all. I am developing a small inventory control system for a warehouse.
I am suing a Java desktop application that connects to a servlet via Internet.
I have been searching the net how to use JSSE for my application since i am new to secure sockets and JSSE.
Since I havent implemented security In my current system yet, i am using URLConnection conn = url.openConnection(); to connect to a servlet.
However, in a good tutorial that I found about JSSE, sockets are used directly for connection, insted of URLCOnnection. They use the code like this: SSLSocketFactory sf = sslContext.getSocketFactory();
SSLSocket socket = (SSLSocket)sf.createSocket( host, port ); Since, using sockets is overly complex for me, I want to make use of the URLConnection class instead to keep it simple.
Could anyone please tell me how to make use of the URLConnection class to establish secure http connection.
by the way, the tutorial is here:
http://www.panix.com/~mito/articles/articles/jsse/j-jsse-ltr.pdf
thanks.

Here you go. The following code snippet allows you post data to http URL. If you have to do the same to https URL , please let me know.
OutputStream writeOut = null;
HttpURLConnection appConnection = null;
URL appUrlOpen = null;
//data to be posted.
String data = "This is the test message to post";
byte[] bytesData = this.data.getBytes();
appUrlOpen = new URL(""Your Servlet URL");
appConnection = (HttpURLConnection) appUrlOpen.openConnection();
appConnection.setDoOutput(true);
appConnection.setDoInput(true);
appConnection.setUseCaches(false);
appConnection.setInstanceFollowRedirects(false);
appConnection.setRequestMethod("post");
appConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type","application/text");
appConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-length", String.valueOf(bytesData.length));
writeOut=appConnection.getOutputStream();
writeOut.write(bytesData);
writeOut.flush();
writeOut.close();
String inputLine;
StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(appConnection.getInputStream()));
char chars[] = new char[1024];
int len = 0;
//Write chunks of characters to the StringBuffer
while ((len = reader.read(chars, 0, chars.length)) >= 0)
sb.append(chars, 0, len);
System.out.println("Response " + sb.toString());
reader.close();
sb=null;
chars = null;
responseBytes = null;

How to use seeded discoverer reports

Hi,
i want to use seeded discoverer reports from Human Resources Intelligence - End User (responsibility)
if i run this reports in apps i am not getting any output(no result).
so i want to see the workbook creation(i mean contents in the workbook) . how its developed .
how do i identify the workbook and busineess area respect to the report...how do i open this in discoverer tool(admin/desktop)...
pl help me out
regards,
kumar

Normally I open the discoverer report in Discoverer Desktop using my Application user id which has the grants on certain responsibility. This responsibility should have access to the disco workbooks and also the business area and folders. If for instance you open with another login which does not have the access, it will pop up this error message like 'Substitute Item', it means it could not find the item in that particular folder - Business area.
For example in Employee Business Area you have Employee Data Folder with First Name Item and Last Name item. If your login does not have access to it, it will pop up error message that said it could not find "First Name" and looking for substitute item to make the disco work.

How to use a Crystal Reports Query as datasourc in an other Cristal Report

Hi
I would like to read a File in a CR Report, change some data and use the output as datasource in an other Criystal Reports Report.
Is ist possible to use a Crystal Reports Report as datasource for an other Crystal Reports Report?

Edited by: Thomas Martin on Jul 18, 2011 12:44 PM

Hi Thomas,
Are you having Xcelsius also in your kitty??(for dynamically doing this activity)
Xcelsius has very good writing & reading functionality and you can incorporate your crystal report data into it using live office.
Let say you have a report in crystal , you connect that repot to live office .Let say this is REPORT named as SOURCE CR REPORT.
IN Xcelsius import the this SOURCE CR REPORT report using live office connection and using GRID selector there to show tabular data.
Xcelsius has buttons & controls for updating and exporting the data inform of XML SOURCE FILE.
Now you can either make xcelsius Dashboard for TARGET CR REPORT or you can make crystal Report on ADO.NET(XML) for second crystal Report.
Search on SDN for cross usage of Crystal & Xcelsius

How to use interactive internal report in alv

hey expert i want to know who i will used interactive internal report in alv report by various tables in my one assingment.
They have told us to do the various steps which i was giving down:
1) In first step they have told me to use of call transaction 'XD03' in the report .I have got that problem solved.
2) In second they have told in this assingment to use of interactive internal report you have to prepare in alv format.
a)I want to know about this .They have told in assingment that in the customer details we have to click to the net value field record and go to the details of sales order detail in which it show the detail of all the details related net values .
b) I want to know about this lines also from you:
Qty field refers to the Target Qty field in the table VBAP.
To get Price in the unit divide the price by Condition Pricing Unit.
If SHKZG field is set, then multiply the amount by -1, making it negative. (understand why?).
3) In the third step they have told to used of drill down which it is in the at line selection ,when i click to the list order of sales it go to the next report and show me the detail of all the list order details.
But i have to use the '2.b' condition there .
cna u please send me reply for all this step.

How to Use Webutil in Reports (in After Report Trigger)

Hi,
I am downloading from FORMS using Webutil is working fine and exporting data into excel.
I have placed the same RPT2XLS package into the reports which i have used in FORMS but it is not working and "ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called" error is coming.
The reason using RPT2XLS in reports to convert complex Matrix reports into Ms. Excel.
Oracle Application Server, Reports & Forms Version is 10g.
I guess, the reason is webutil configuration in reports (as its working for forms) but i don't know exactly where to configure for reports.
Any idea?
Thanks

You use webutil in Forms, not in Reports:
"WebUtil is a pre-packaged set of components which provide client-server type functionality in Web-deployed Oracle Forms applications." There is no client-server type functionality in Reports.
