Is it possible to brust report using data template?

I fail to do this with many trials.
Can anyone give me a guide?
Thank a lot!

Hi Murali,
I am also facing the same problem with bursting, it is giving the Java error as follows
oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.ProcessingException: java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.XDOJob.runBurstingReport(XDOJob.java:2116)
at oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.XDOJob.execute(XDOJob.java:358)

Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException
at oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.XDOJob.runBurstingReport(XDOJob.java:2018)
But i am unable to understand create a new data model logic which u have explained in "http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=3965055&#3965055".
Could you please give some example and expalin the same.
Thanks in Advance

HTML tags not displayed when using Data Template

Hi All...
I'm developing a BI Publisher report in which one of the columns is a clob data type. I'm using an xsl stylesheet to format the data present in the clob column.
I've developed the report using data template as the data set. The problem is the clob column which has the HTML tags where not displayed properly...for example
the tag starting with
<
is replaced with
& lt;
I did a couple of searches in this forum and in tim's blog but couldn't find a proper solution...

Re: Special characters in CLOB are making report fail
I came to know that data template cannot generate proper HTML tags for release 10.1.3.2. Is there any work around way to get the proper HTML tags when data template is used as a data set?

Issue could be with the data that is selected in the other environment. It generally happens that the ALV will not give the same results as in the DEV in the other systems.
Possible errors could be the control break statements in the loop...endloop block. validate the correctness of the control break stmts if any.

Bursting entire report as a single file by using Data Template

Hi,
I have created a report by using data template, which consists of 3 queries.
Is it possible to burst the entire report in one single file? without splitting based on any criteria?
Something like I want to use a constant value key so that report will split into one file ONLY.
Please advice.
Regards
Muarli.

You are right in saying that I dont want to use the burst option.. but the problem with FTP delivery, is that I can't pass the date parameter in the file name. Only fixed single file name is provided there..
Work around for this is to use bursting option to pass corresponding parameter value in output file.
I'm facing the problem that by using data template source, I can't burst in enterprise edition based on SQL statement.
Getting the below error:
oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.ProcessingException: java.lang.NullPointerException
     at oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.scheduler.XDOJob.runBurstingReport(XDOJob.java:2116)

     Delivery Node           /SCHEME_SETT_SUMMARY/LIST_G_VALUE_DATE/G_VALUE_DATE/ssc_code
But the same report is running and I can schedule by using FTP delivery without bursting option successfully.
Please assist in resolving this issue.

Adhoc Reporting using Data Sources instead of Report Model

Hi Gurus,
I'm working on SSRS 2008. I'm trying to create Adhoc Report using Report Builder 3.0. To select Data Source, both *.rsds and *.smdl are listed. I selected a Data Source which points to a SQL database. When I add New datasets, I'm able to add the fields and
it automatically detect relationships (Joins) using Primary Key and Foreign Key defined in the tables. I'm also able to edit the query. I ran the report and it ran successfully.
My question is I couldn't find any documentation regarding using Data Source for Adhoc Reporting. MS SQL documentation and forums insists that Report Model is required for Adhoc Reporting.
Please let me know if someone tried to create Adhoc Report using Data Source instead of Report Model. While I understand there are more benefits using Report Model (define entities/attributes, show/hide entity/attributes, organize entities/attributes etc.),
I just want to know if this is possible.
Are there any known limitation using this method?
Thanks In Advance!

Hi Ereswaran,
Yes, we can create ad hoc report using report using data source instead of Report Model. Ad hoc reports typically are used to answer a specific question at appoint in time, so consequently people don’t spend a lot of time arranging and formatting the data
in a precise way. Other report development tools are available in Reporting Services to support more sophisticated reporting requirements.
Using Report Builder, we can build a simple report that display data form a single data source as defined by a report model. This tool is most useful for business users who need access to information but lack the skills to write a SQL query. If we have full
experience of SQL query, of course we can use data source instead of Report Model.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

How to generate xml using "Data Template"

Hi,
Can any one please tell me the steps to create xml using "Data Template".
As per the user guide the execution method for "data Template" is "Java Concurrent Program" and the Executable mentiones is "XDODTEXE".
But there is no information about the "execution file name" and "execution path name" which is mandatory.
Thanks and Regards,
Sandhya

Hi Sandhya,
To put a Data Template into use, you don't need to define any new executables. XDODTEXE executable is already registered in the system, as it ships with the application. The Data Template is not an executable as such, but a collection of instructions for what queries to perform and what should the resulting XML look like. XDODTEXE knows how to interpret those instructions, and produce the XML output.
(And if you add a layout template, handle that too.)
You do need to do the following:
1) Create a new Data Definition (XML Publisher Administrator > Data Definitions)
2) Upload your Data Template (remember the Code for the next step)
3) Create a Concurrent Program that is linked to the Data Definition (Short Name = Code) (System Administrator > Program > Define)
4) Add your Concurrent Program to a Request Group (System Administrator > Security > Responsibility > Request)
I recommend you take a look at the XML Publisher Administration and Developer's Guide, you will find more information there.

Report using Data from different tables

Hello,
I am trying to convert a Cobol batch program to Oracle 6i tabular report.
The data is fetched from many different tables and there are lots of processing(i.e, based on the value of a column from one table need additional processing from different tables) required to generate the desired columns in the final report.
I would like to know what is the best strategy to follow in Oracle Reports 6i. I heard that CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE is an option. ( or REF CURSOR ?) I do not know much about its usage. Can somebody guide me about this or any other better way to achieve the result.
Thank you in advance
Priya

Hello,
There are many, many options available to you, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. This is why it is difficult to answer "what is best?" without alot more details about your specific circumstances.
In general, you're going to be writing PL/SQL to do any conditional logic that cannot be expressed as pure SQL. It can executed in the database, or it can executed within Reports itself. And most reports developers do some of both.
As a general rule, you want to send only the data you need from the database to the report. This means you want to do as much filtering and aggregating of the data as is readily possible within the database. If this cannot be expressed as plain SQL queries, then you'll want to create a stored procedures to help do this work.
Generally, the PL/SQL you create for executing within the report should be focused on control of the formatting, such as controlling whether a field is visible, or controlling display attributes for conditional formatting.
But these are not hard and fast rules. In some cases, it is difficult to get all the stored procedures you might like installed into the database. Perhaps the dba is reluctant to let you install that many stored procedures. Perhaps there are restrictions when and how often updates can be made to stored procedures in a production database, which makes it difficult to incrementally adjust your reports based on user feedback. Or perhaps there are restrictions for how long queries are allowed to run.
So, Reports offers lots of options and features to let you do data manipulation operations from within the report data model.
In any case, Oracle does offer temporary table capabilities. You can populate a temp table by running stored procedures that do queries, calculations and aggregations. And you can define and initiate a dynamic query statement within the database and pass a handle to this query off to the report to execute (ref cursor).
From the reports side, you can have as many queries as you want in the data model, arranged in any hierarchy via links. You can parameterize and change the queries dynamically using bind variables and lexicals. And you can add calculations, aggregations, and filters.
Again, most people do data manipulation both in the database and in Reports, using the database for what it excels at, and Reports for what it excels at.
Hope this helps.

Time difference report using date range

Hi,
I would like to know a clue as below in the same thread as it is more relavant to this, if you do not mind.
I have one more query using the same table and set of data for one of the report.
Here the the column call_date is timestamp.
Calls by n min interval
Parameters should be startDate and endDate.
This is actually 2 queries. The simplest one, should return a list of games with the start and end time, similar to previous report.
The second, should return number of calls every n minutes interval. So, if n is 1, should return something like this:
Period     Calls
starting (Nos.)
21:00     34
21:01     42
21:02     55
22:58     88
22:59     63
Ideally, the number of minutes in an interval should be dynamic, (can be passed as a parameter).
Many thanks in advance.
Jayesh

Help for -Generate Report using Word template having company Logo

HI GUys,
I am trying to generate a report in PDF using the word template having some company logo as footer to that .
When user click on print ,the graph should be added to the template and its should output the report in pdf.
I am able to achive this when I 'm not using the template,but when I use the template (sample code shown below),its throws the error attached in screenshot.
pls suggest the possible way to achieve this

Why are you deleting the file after creating the report? Are you sure that the image exists at the path specified when running?
Also, in your top screenshot because of data flow there's a high possibility that you actually delete the file before it gets used because there is no connection between the end of writing the report and deleting the picture.
I also suspect there's a chance there might be a permissions issue - you are trying to get the file from another user's desktop which isn't normally allowed - do the file/folder permissions give you access to that file path? I would try putting the picture on your own desktop just to rule that out.

Reports Sugestion - Data Template Support for Downloadable PDF Reports.

This is something that I miss in APEX reports that I would like to see. Right now I have BI Publisher tied to my APEX install but there are reports I would like to move over but I hate the fact that APEX does not have the ability to use BI Publisher XML Data Templates! It seems like if you have the integration this would be a natural thing to have so you could use complex report and APEX security (as I found a few issues in BI Publisher that are deal killers for running a few of my newer reports directly on BIP). Most of my reports are too complex and would require extensive XPath coding to setup using RTF templates. This just seems like something that would be very useful in APEX.

David:
I should have a whitepaper on this subject by the end of the month.
http://jastraub.blogspot.com/2008/12/more-changes-to-flexwsapi.html
I know this doesn't help you right now so I will describe how it works. Create a Manual Web reference as described on Tyler's blog, except for the SOAP Envelope, using something like:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:pub="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/service/PublicReportService" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<pub:runReport soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<reportRequest xsi:type="pub:ReportRequest">
<attributeFormat xsi:type="xsd:string">#P2_FORMAT#</attributeFormat>
<parameterNameValues xsi:type="pub:ArrayOfParamNameValue" soapenc:arrayType="pub:ParamNameValue[]"/>
<reportAbsolutePath xsi:type="xsd:string">#P2_ABS_PATH#</reportAbsolutePath>
</reportRequest>
<userID xsi:type="xsd:string">#APP_USER#</userID>
<password xsi:type="xsd:string">#P101_PASSWORD#</password>
</pub:runReport>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
You can hardcode format to pdf if that is all you wish to download. You can also hardcode the userID parameter, reportAbsolutePath, and the password parameter if you wish. Use something like DOWNLOAD_DOCUMENT as the collection name.
Now create a page and create a before header process of type Web service that invokes this reference. The document's binary data will be stored in a node of an XML document in the collection encoded in base64 format. You will need another process that converts that to a BLOB and then presents a dialog to the browser to save the document. You can accomplish with a process like the following, after the call to the Web service:
declare
l_mime varchar2(48);
l_name varchar2(4000);
l_base64 clob;
l_blob blob;
l_size number;
l_xml xmltype;
l_ns varchar2(4000) default null;
l_path varchar(255) default '//multiRef';
begin
l_mime := flex_ws_api.parse_response('DOWNLOAD_DOCUMENT',l_path||'/reportContentType/text()',l_ns);
l_name := 'test.pdf';
l_base64 := flex_ws_api.parse_response_clob('DOWNLOAD_DOCUMENT',l_path||'/reportBytes/text()',l_ns);
l_blob := flex_ws_api.clobbase642blob(l_base64);
l_size := dbms_lob.getlength(l_blob);
htp.init;
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(l_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
htp.p('Content-length: '||l_size);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(l_name,chr(10),null),chr(13),null)||'"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file( l_blob );
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
end;
I hope that helps. Stay tuned for the white paper and sample application.

Jason

Create XML using Data Templates

Is anyone familiar will a tool, other than oracle that will create XML from data template definitions.
I trying to understand if the data template definitions are an Oracle specific tool that only Oracle can use to generate XML files.
If this is specific to Oracle, is there an easier way to use the data templates to generate XML without registering them in the concurrent manager, XMLP Admin, and then executing the concurrent process?
I'm looking for a shortcut to testing these files without having to register everything.

Why not using XML Publisher Standalone aka Enterprise 5.6.2 ?
There you can generate the XML based on data templates without registering anything. The installation is quite easy.

Is it possible to sort report using parameters?

Hi,
I am building a report - which generates select query based on the parameters entered by the user.
Could you help me with how to sort output with the parameter chosen by the user himself? Thanks,

I will give you 2 answers since I am not sure exactly how your report runs.
Lets say your users choose a couple parameters to limit certain columns by in your where clause. In this case, you would want to just create a user parameter, and use that parameter in the where clause.
select col
from table
where job_id = :P_JOB_ID and
start_date between :P_START_DATE and :P_END_DATEPretty simple. Now here is how I would do it if those are optional parameters, and the user could enter a value, or could leave all blank.
select col
from table
where job_id = nvl(:P_JOB_ID, job_id) and
start_date between nvl(:P_START_DATE, start_date) and
nvl(:P_END_DATE, end_date)If its null, it will set the column equal to each other, and will return all the rows (good little trick).
The other case is if you need a different select/where clause entirely based on what the user sends in. For example, lets say you have 2 entirely different queries based on a certain parameter. Then you'd want to use lexical parameters and an after parameter trigger.
I think you are looking for the first scenario, so try that and post back if you are looking for something different

I need help I want to analyze and create reports using data from my firefox history files .

Creating BAM report using data of two database tables. Say "EmployeeTable" and "DepartmentTable

I want to populate data from two database tables into a BAM report. I have created two data objects for the tables and want to create 3rd data object so that it can take the data from the other data objects automatically. Is there any such facility within BAM?

Hi
1. I am not sure if you have option to combine multiple DataObjects like that.
2. For your scenario, on Database side itself, I would recommend Create a VIEW that joins these 2 Tables and pull the required Columns and add required conditions. Verify the VIEW has all the rows expected.
3. Then create DataObject for this View. Once you have DataObject, create the Report.
Thanks

How to use Report Parameter on Data Template

Hello All ,
I 've tried to create a Report using Data template and Report Parameter. I create a report using data template and I also created a parameter (P_company_name).
Data Template :
<dataTemplate name="test_Data_template" description="test" dataSourceRef="test">
<parameters>
<parameter name="company_name" dataType="character" include_in_output="false" defaultValue= *** HOW TO DEFINE THE REPORT PARAMETER (P_Company_name) HERE ** />
</parameters>
<dataQuery><sqlStatement name="Q1"> <![CDATA[SELECT customer_no,Company_name, from customers where acquisition_id = :company_name ]]>
</sqlStatement>
Report Parameter
Identifier : P_Company_name
Data Type : String
Default Value : Test
Parameter Type : Text
When the endusers run the Report they will provide the Company name through the report parameter.
I have tried to use the same approach that I used to pass the Parameter to SqlQuery on data Template but it is not working . XML Publisher cannot define the parameter.
How can I do that ?
If you have any suggestion or document I will really appreciate.
Thanks,
Robson

use this <parameter name="P_Company_name" dataType="character" include_in_output="false" defaultValue= 'Test Value' />and in the querySELECT customer_no,Company_name, from customers where acquisition_id = :P_Company_namehttp://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187/T421739T434255.htm
Just keep the parameter name in datatemplate and the definition same.
