OAF: Creating PDF output without calling concurrent program.

Hi Everyone,
i want to Create PDF output in OAF.
I wil be having one button “Convert PDF” on my OAF page. On clicking on that button my page should generate pdf output without calling concurrent program(Because running a concurrent program may take much time sometimes.).
How can I do that?
I have never generated pdf outputs so plz help me to get out of this.
What are the possible ways to get this?
Any example?
Any suggestions wil be really useful.
Thanks.....

Output of the concurrent program in PDF - Reg

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein i have to get the output of the concurrent program as a pdf file.
I'm using the report file (.rdf) as the executable.
When I'm giving the output as PDF in program definition, it errors out.
The report is very complex and using XML publisher for getting a PDF output will be tedious one.
Any pointers or tutorials will be of great help.
Regards,
Mohan

Hi,
"Program was terminated by signal 11
Concurrent Manager encountered an error while running Oracle*Report for your concurrent request ********.
Review your concurrent request log and/or report output file for more detailed information."
The error message was not specific and i could not make out what it is.Please make sure that the DISPLAY is set properly as per (Note: 377748.1 - Postscript And PDF Reports Complete With 'Program Was Terminated By Signal 11'). Also, verify the value of Tk2Motif*fontMapCs as per (Note: 396336.1 - PDF Reports Fail With Program Was Terminated By Signal 11). Make sure you bounce the CM each time you do any modification.
And regarding XML, can i get the PDF output from the concurrent program itself without using the XML publisher,by setting the output style as PDF??????Yes you can, create the concurrent program using reports builder and register it in the application with a PDF output format. If your database characterset is UTF8, then I believe you need to use XML publisher.

Reg emailing the output of a concurrent program as an attachment

Hi,
Our requirement is to email the output of a concurrent program?(SQL*PLUS Report Output) as an attachment to the supplied Email Id, without using seperate Shell Script.
We have configured a printer and passed the Printer Driver argument as
uuencode $PROFILES$.FILENAME Budget_Report.csv | /bin/mailx -"Cisco AS Budget Report" $Email_id
The Problem is we are passing the Email address directly to the command.Can't we use the Parameter value to that command?
And also a junk character 'end gets displayed in the mail body.
Sometimes the concurrent Program ends with warning message as
APP-FND-00500 : AFPPRN received a return code of failure from routine FDUPRN.
An error occured while AOL tried to spawn the print process.
Please suggest some ways on getting proper output?
Thanks.

Hi,
Email address can be Profile Option - create a new profile option, set value and reference like the $PROFILES$.FILENAME.
For logging pipe standard out and error to a logfile. Note I haven't tested the command below, just to give you an idea. Would be better to create a shell script then you can change without having to go to the Printer Drivers and bounce Conc Mgr.
Ie. if you profile option is XX_EMAIL_ADDRESS then
uuencode $PROFILES$.FILENAME Budget_Report.csv | /bin/mailx -"Cisco AS Budget Report" $PROFILES$.FILENAME >/mypath/myfile 2>&1
With regards to the failure, if your uuencode or mailx returns 1 (ie, can't find file or whatever) then your print job fails. This is why you should either log or create shell script to handle the error better.

Gareth

Creating pdf-output in Germany

Hello,
I have created a report with Developer 6.08 on a Windows NT 4.0-Client.
The report creates pdf-output.
The compiled report is run with rwrun60 on several PC with also NT 4.0.
On some PC the output file is correct and can be read by the Acrobat Reader. On others the numbers in the created
output file have a (german?) comma as decimal seperator.
These files cannot be read by the Acrobat Reader.
The regional settings on all PC are set to "Deutsch(Deutschland)".
The NLS_LANG is set to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE88ISO59P1 and the "decimal"-variable in the report is a dot.
There must be some difference between the PC, but where is it?
Thanks, Birgit

Birgit,
There was a bug with some german printer drivers where if you printed a report to that driver, afterwards you would see this behaviour with PDF output. This was fixed in an earlier 6i patch set. I would suggest that you download the latest 6i patchset from metalink and install that.

Thanks for ur quick response.
That is a Report and the output of the report is generated by running concurrent program.
The output of the report is in pdf format.

How to create a value sets for concurrent program?

Hi Friends,
I am creating a concurrent program with a parameter period...
In the value set for the parameter period, I am using the following query :
---where application_id = 101
and set_of_books_id = :$PROFILES$.gl_set_of_bks_id
and closing_status IN ( 'O', 'F', 'C')
order by period_year, period_num' ----
In my cursor, i have a condition 'where set_of_books_id = ' ---
How can I pass the above set of books id into the cursor ?? it is not working when I am defining another parameter as Book and passing that value to the cursor....
I need that period parameter to return all the periods for the set of books where we are running the concurrent request from...I also need to get the set of books id for my cursor...
Hope I am making sense...All that I am trying is to have period parameter and also a SOB id in cursor condition...

close cur2;
Exception when others then dbms_output.put_line(SQLERRM);
end;
==================================================================================================
For SOB value set, I have passed the default value as vamsi suggested ($profiles$.gl_set_of_bks_id)....
For period value set, I have entered query as ..where application_id = 101
and set_of_books_id = :$PROFILES$.gl_set_of_bks_id
and closing_status IN ( 'O', 'F', 'C')
order by period_year, period_num...................
It still doesn't work....I don't know how to derive those Periods based on the SOBs and at the same time pass SOB id into the cursors...
Please help...

Creating a PLSQL Procedure as Concurrent Program

Folks:
I am new both to PLSQL and Concurrent program creation. I am actually working on a process for deploying changes from one environment to another, so I want to create a simpel PLSQL procedure that I can then register as a concurrent program, and finally test the download/uplaod of this procedure and program from one instance to another.
I tried reading the Developer documentation on creating concurrent program, but couldn't find the information I was looking for. Here are some of my questions:
1) The PLSQL procedure that I want to run as concurrent program, can it be declared within a new custom package, or does it have to be created as a procedure.
2) In the concurrent program executable registration window, can i specify directly the name of this new procedure or do I need to create an additional wrapper PLSQL procedure that has Concurrent Program related attribute (Developer guide seemed to incline that way).
3) What should be put in the 'File' parameter on Concurrent Program Execution Window in the case of pl/sql concurrent program. There is no file, so what to put in there?
4) Any other place I can find step by step how to for making a 'PLSQL" package a concurrent program?

Hi,
1) Create PL/SQL Package with "main" procedure that has arguments ERRBUF and RETCODE plus your other required arguments.
2) xxxx_pkg.main as per 1.
3) xxxx_pkg.main (the package and procedure name)
4) Best place to look is at an existing program! Plenty of basic examples on the net. Here's a link that has basic package and screens:

Reg: Creating sub menu for a concurrent program under menu on the Menu bar

Hi all,
I would like to know, how we can create a sub menu for a conc. program under a sub menu on the Menu Bar ?
Thanks In Advance.
Regards,
Neeti

It is a 2 step process. First, enable a new menu entry, which when called will fire a user-named trigger, where the call to the concurrent programs form is the executed. How to do it depends on the release. Previous to 11.5.10, this has to be done trough custom.pll, and 11i10 an r12 with forms personalization. Documentation and examples exists for both cases, have a look on metalink.
