Is there any documentation on creating basic paper reports?

Hi - I have just started to try to create a report. We have 9i reports but don't need any of the web stuff. I only need to create reports off of our database, run them on my workstation, and print out hardcopies to give to 1 or 2 managers.
Is there any documentation that would just teach me how to create simple reports without all the web functionality? I was trying to follow along in the Reports Builder 6i, but it seems a lot has changed since 6i and I am having trouble just trying to find the corresponding buttons in 9i.
I need to learn how to create reports, triggers, and especially I want to learn how to rearrange the report output after it has been created. It seems very confusing to me how to do this on Paper Layout or Paper Design screen.
Thanks for any help. I would even go buy a book if there were a good one.

  • Is there any documentation on creating .key files programmatically?

    I am a programmer, and while I love keynote for presentations, I would much prefer to generate .key files via programs.
    There is a document that talks about this, and in fact encourages you to do it, but it's for a very old version of Keynote.  All of my attempts to find the old tech notes referred to in the document returned nothing.  I can't even find the XML Schemas referenced in the index.apxl.gz file, such as http://developer.apple.com/namespaces/keynote2.
    It would seem to be in Apple's best interest for developers to be developing to use Apple delivery platforms, such as Keynote, but I'm not getting the impression that Apple agrees.

  • Is there any way to create a setup file Like Visual Basic

    Hi,
    I want to create a setup file of all developed foms and reports to install them to desireable location, is there any way to create a setup file in oracle, Like Vb.
    Raza

    I believe there is something from Oracle but it was frustratingly buggy when I used it a few years back and only worked via the Oracle installer.
    Personally, I'd recommend something like Innosetup, which is freeware and a Windows-style installer much like InstallShield etc. so it'll create an executable setup file probably OK if they've already got the Oracle Runtime components installed.

  • Is there any way, to create with Adobe Muse HTML-Mail Templates?

    Is there any way, to create with Adobe Muse HTML-Mail Templates? or to convert the createt page to only html content? any other tool like an website copyer?
    tanks for help!

    Off the top of my head, you should be able to create mail templates in muse BUT it will require  very basic html/css knowledge on your part. I am assuming you want to do just the signature?
    Create the design you would like on one page, dont do any kind of styling in a master page. Then export the site into a folder. Open the html file with notepad/ textedit and then copy just the code for JUST the template. Throw it in you mail app of choice and it should work.
    This seems like something that would be done alot quicker in dreamweaver in design view.
    PLEASE NOTE: ^i could be completely wrong - but in theory this may work.

  • Is there any documentation which throws light on how data aggregation happens in data warehouse grooming? what algorithm exactly it follows in different aggregation type (raw, hourly, daily)?

    Is there any documentation which throws light on how data aggregation happens in data warehouse grooming? what algorithm exactly it follows in different aggregation type (raw, hourly, daily)?
    How exactly it picks up a specific data value during Hourly aggregations and Daily aggregations?As in  How the value is chosen. Does it say averages out or simply picks  value at the start of the hour/day or end of the hour/day ??

    I'll try one more time. :)
    Views in the operations console are derived from data in the operational database. This is always raw data, and typically does not go back more than 7 days.
    Reports get data from the data warehouse. Unless you create a custom report that uses raw data, you will never see raw data in a report - Microsoft and probably all 3rd party vendors do not develop reports that fetch raw data.
    Reports use aggregated data - hourly and daily. The data is aggregated by min, max, and avg sample for that particular aggregation. If it's hourly data, then you will see the min, max, and avg for that entire hour. Same goes for daily - you will see the
    min, max, and avg data sample for that entire day.
    And to try clarifying even more, the values you see plotted on the report are avg samples. If you drill into the performance detail report, then you can see the min, max, and avg samples, as well as standard deviation (which is calculated based on these
    three values).

  • Is there any way to create a VMvmare server cluster?

    Hi,
    I have two machines which don't support install ESXi, these machines are running centos 5 with no X and I installed vmware server 2.0.
    My question is, is there any way to create a vmware server cluster like is possible create in ESX?
    I know in ESX once you create a cluster, the resources are increased since resources are added. Is there any way to do same thing with vmware server 2.0?
    Also is there any other option for my machines, I don't want to install X since the machines don't have much resource.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the COmmunit - With VMware server each environment functions independently and there is no way to pool resources as you can with a DRS cluster - and remembering even in a DRS cluster the VMs swill only run on a single host at a time as they would in VMware Server machines/
    Also just because it is not suppported does not mean you will not be able to create a VM with an unsupported OS -

  • Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?

    Is there any way to create an installer for Mac OS and Linux OS once a stand alone application is created?  I have created an executable application that I want to distribute to Mac and Linux users (different applications were created in the respective OS).  I was wondering if there is any way to create an installer?  I think there probably isn't...  If the user were to simply download the Labview Run-time Engine from ni.com would they be able to run the application or is it more complicated than that?
    Thanks so much for your time.

    I think Shane tried to say, that it is on the Mac OS X installation DVD, NOT the LabVIEW for Mac OS X installation medium. And that could very well have changed in recent Mac OS X versions as well. They used to have Xcode on it too, but that seems gone as well.

  • Is there any way to create admin role only for one resource.

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create an admin role with 'update user' capability. But I want to restrict the user(with the admin role) to be able to update a user's attribute only for one resource, The user(with the admin role) should not be able to update the attributes of the other resources which a user have.
    Is there any way to create admin role only for one resource?
    I customized the tabbed user form to show only one resource attribute (deleting the missing fields and adding my tab for the resource) and then assigned this new User Form to the user(with the admin role) in security tab.
    It works fine. But the problem is that if any user(with the admin role) is also admin of some other resource then he/she will not be able to view the other resource attributes.
    Please suggest,
    thanks

  • Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot for my macbook using my IPad?, Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot for my macbook using my IPad?

    I am going to a lake cabin in Northern Minnesota for a week and need to get wifi for my Mac.  Is there any way to create a wifi hotspot using my Ipad so that I have internet service for my laptop?

    No, iPad can become a hot spot, but if you have an iPhone, it can tether if you have a data plan that incudes the tethering option.  With AT&T for example, you can add tethering for $20 month or for $45/month, you receive tethering and 4GB of data per month.  If you have the unlimited data plan from AT&T you'll unfortunately have to give it up if you want to tether.  You can also go to almost any carrier and purchase a MiFi unit which may work for you.  Whether iw will work in Northern Minnesota is something only your carrier could answer.

  • Is there any way to create a system-wide variable?

    Hello IDM gurus.
    Is there any way to create rarely changing system wide variables that can be loaded at system startup that will be available to all users? For example, at IDM system startup, the variables would be read from configuration or generic objects and live in memory for ALL users as opposed to each workflow/user having to read the same variables when the workflow is run.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    That may very well be the answer I'm looking for. Is there a way for that to be available within the entire application instead of having to read it in each workflow?

  • Is there any way to create fields reports users can enter data into?

    I am using Crystal XI to develop reports for my company and have not received any formal training on it.  I'm learning it fairly well through the help files. 
    One of the reports I need to create summarizes our scrap, rework, and additional incurred expenses for our monthly quality reports.  Most of the information is stored in the main program used by all employees, a very small amount of it is not.  I have created sub-reports for each of the different types of costs that are tracked in the system.
    Is there any way to create an area on the report that our QA people can use to enter the items not tracked in the main system?  I am imagining that it would be through another sub-report of some kind, but do not know how to create the fields needed. 
    Thank you very much for any assistance you can provide, even if it is to tell me "You can't do that, ma'am..."  At least then I would know and wouldn't beat my head against the desk trying to figure out how to do it.

    Is defining parameter prompts in the Crystal Report and displaying it in the report a possible workaround? 
    If you define parameter prompts, then Crystal will query the user before running the report - so this would be problematic if the user needs to reference data in the report to enter appropriate values (one possibility then is to use interactive parameters feature available in CR 2008).
