Ole Object in Report

Hi!
We r trying to embed an OLE Object (gif,bmp) in the report . The report shows the logo (gif) when run thru client server but when run thru Application server no image is shown. Can anyone tell what is the problem.
Thanks & Regards,

Srini,
OLE doesn't work on teh Web. Creating a Report for the Web converts the output to HTML, HTMLCSS or PDF. The OLE container gets excluded which is why the image is not shown. Work around is instead of using OLE to include images, to reference them on the filesystem of the Server (or database).

Attention!!-don't use OLE object in Reports

If you are planning to use or is currently using OLE objects in Reports-please don't use it as the object maynot reload in future and your report may not even open in Report Builder.I got this message when opening the report containing OLE object:
REP-4004: Error occurred while restoring OLE object
and it refused to open up crashing my days of work.
The pity is I can't open my report even to remove the OLE object.

I know that is weird.I placed the object in the same directory-but in vain.Afterall, what's the logic of putting it in the same directory after embedding it?

Doubt , how to display ole objects in report builder

Please tell me, how to display ole objects in report builder.
I mean i wanted to print ole object in report, so how to do that.

Just to clarify Lixia's response.
In Reports 9i we have deprecated our OLE functionality. Reports created in prior versions that contain OLE objects should still run, but you will not be able to create new reports containing OLE objects.

Help! Print OLE object from report builder.

Dear OTN Members,
I would like to know how to print out a OLE object from
report builder, because currently I face problem to print out
the whole contain of the winword document file, because when I
display the OLE on the form it will only display according the
size I declare for it, it seems that it will not automatic
extend the size itself. i.e. if I drag the size to one page in
fact the maximum is one page, then when it display, it will only
display maximum one page eventhough the document file maybe
contain 10 page inside it. So when I print out the report it
will only show me one page, so if you have any solution, pls
share with me, thank you.

As far as I know you have to use OLE Item to work with the information. Unfortunately there is not any standart way to extract a source document from OLE. Some applications such as Word, Excel support OLE Automation, so you could use OLE2 package to save the document as a file, that is the easest way. But others don't, so you may have to use an undocumented way to extract a document.
Take a look at the following thread:
Subj: 6i to 9i Ole to LOB translations, How do you know the App. server?
Re: 6i to 9i Ole to LOB translations, How do you know the App. server?
P.S. If you can't extract some types of your documents, please let me khow.
P.P.S. To extract a document through OLE2 package you could use something like the following. /I'm not sure the code is correct/:
DECLARE
handle ole2.obj_type;
BEGIN
ACTIVATE_SERVER('OLE1');
handle := forms_ole.get_interface_pointer('OLE1');
BEGIN
-- Save a document to disk
Args :=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(Args, 'C:\test.doc'); -- file name
OLE2.INVOKE(handle, 'SaveAs', Args);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(Args);
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
Message('Error');
END;
-- OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(handle);
END;

Hi, everybody, I have a problem which the picture in the report can't be printed.I want to display some pictures in the reports and print them.So I insert the picture as OLE object, select the graph format and set graph location fomular with the path of the picture which is stored in the local machine.

Insert OLE Object at runtime in a report (Crystal report 2008)

Hello
I need insert a WORD document at runtime into Crystal report 2008.
Is it possible do it this using RAS SDK for .NET?
Thank you

Possible, but remember that only the 1st page of the word doc will be added - same as in the CR designer.
There is a number of sample apps at [this|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/samples?rid=/webcontent/uuid/80774579-b086-2b10-db91-ed58c4dda375] link. Add image sample may be good to look at.

Ole object not visible on oracle report

Hi,
I have an oracle report built in oracle report 6i builder I have used a Boilerplate OLE Object(image.bmp) in the report but when I am executing the report on Oracle E Business(Application) then that OLE object is not visible on the report output(output is in the pdf format).
Please help me out with this
Thanks in advance

If you want to display an image on your report, use Link File as item type in the Layout Editor.
Note that the image has to be accessable from the Reports Server.

Display data on OLE object (form) in Crystal Report

Hi All,
I m using Crystal Reports 2008. We have Business Objects XI 3.1 SP3 environment.
I have a crystal report with OLE object embedded in it. The OLE Object is a form on which the database fields and the formula fields are supposed to be displayed. The OLE Object form has multiple lines (rows) and sections. I have a formula field that sometimes brings multiple records and I want to be able to display those records as rows (one below the other) on the same page until all rows on the form are filled. I have 2 problems:
1. When the formula field brings more than 1 record, only one record is displayed on one page and the next record goes and prints on the next page i.e. the records are not being displayed below each other.
2. How do I make sure that the records display on the next page of the report once all empty lines/rows on the OLE object form are filled?
Your replies are much appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi,
if I understand correctly, your OLE object is a form and your data needs to display on it.
What you can do is, inserting the OLE object on page header and then in the section expert, click "Underlay the following section".
Note that the structure of Crystal report is RH, PH, GH, Details.
So, if you insert OLE object in Page Header (PH) and you have a group, underlaying the OLE means displaying the object underlay Group Header (GH).
So, it is a bit of twisting to do and your OLE object needs to fit well as in A4 (or the paper size you need) consistently.

Crystal report AS ole object into word

I've been searching the web on using crystal reports as an OLE object inside a word document, but all results have been about using a word document inside a crystal report.
I am trying to create a quarterly report document for a business. This document is built using MS word. The document needs to include various tables, charts and the like, which they want to build in crystal reports so that they can be used either as part of the quarterly or as standalone reports.
I would like to embed these reports into MS Word. Ideally, every three months the reports would be updated with new parameters, the word document would be opened, and the linked OLE reports would display the updated data tables and charts.
I'm not sure if this is possible. I just attempted to embed a crystal report inside a word 2007 document, but the OLE object only showed up as an object containing the report filename, not the actual report.
Can crystal act as an ole server for a word document to do what I want it to do, or will I need to programatically export the batch of crystal reports to images in order to have them show up in the word document?

if you have business objects enterprise & live office, you can use Business Objects Live Office to embed the following from crystal reports into word or excel or powerpoint:
1) charts
2) cross tabs
3) summaries
4) fields
to name a few.
you can also use prompts in the word doc to allow you to change up the above on the fly.

Ole object missing on pdf file

i have long raw field in database. i am saving excel workbook in it through ole container. it displays well on report but when i generate pdf from report it miss ole field and show that portion of report blank. It exports ole object in postscript format (.eps) but i dont now any software which can open this file and show result on screen.
i am using developer 6i with oracle 9i database in client-server environment.

Hello,
Take a look to the thread :
Re: Image in Reports
eps files are "Encapsulated PostScript", for more details :

Problem with ole objects

Hello to all,
I'm having a problem concerning the use of ole objects.
I'm using Oracle Forms 6.0.8.16.0 with Oracle Reports 6.0.8.1.7.1 on Windows 2000 with Oracle Database Server 9.2.0.4.0.
I have several forms with base tables including blob columns which are used to store ole objects. These could be MS-Word-documents or Bitmaps of signatures. When inserting these objects via "create new" and choose the object type, Word or Paintbrush opens and i can create my objects. After committing these changes to the database, these objects are printed in a report correctly. When inserting these objects via "create from file" or using a push button which is executing "initialize_container" with a file and committing to the database, i get an error while executing the report "REP-0082: Error executing SCA utility".
I want to use a push button to store my ole objects because the "create" dialogue is confusing our users because there is a huge list of all possible ole objects on the client.
Can anybody help with this ?
And to the Oracle Team, please don't suggest simply to upgrade to a higher patch level without looking at the problem. First, I tested all patch levels up to 16, with no change. Second, it's not easy to upgrade for an 24x7 application with hundreds of users in different countries with different ways of deployment.
Regards
Kai

OLE objects linked to MS Word/MS Excel do not update in InfoView

I am facing the following problem:
- Embedded a Word document as linked OLE object into a crystal report and stored it to Enterprise repository.
- When opening the report with CR Developer from my workstation, links are updated and changes made in the .doc file are reflected, the report is updated
- However when displaying and refreshing the report in InfoView changes aren't reflected.
The OLE link (type document) is set to update automatically. I tried to store the report to the enterprise repository with and without data. Yet no difference - no update in either case. Neither scheduling nor opening and refreshing the report in InfoView helps.
I further inserted an OLE object linked to a bmp image, and for the image refreshing works, even in InfoView
So am I doing something wrong?
Some threads in this forum indicate that only OLE linked pictures (bmp, jpg) can be refreshed dynamically, e.g.
[Dynamically change path to OLE file]
Others indicate that it is also possible to dynamically refresh OLE objects linked to .doc, e.g.
[Re: Link to Word document doesn't refresh when running from Infoview]
- Is it at all possible to dynamically display the contents of .doc or .xls files in a CR when viewing and refreshing the report in InfoView (without the need to reopen and resave the report with CR Developer first) ?
- We are using BOE XI3.1 SP3 and Crystal Reports 2008 SP3. On the BOE server Crystal Reports Developer is not installed. Can this be a prerequisite for the OLE links to update in InfoView?
- Any other suggestions?
Thanks
Konrad

Hi Don,
Thank you for the quick reply.
- You say that this works in CR Designer. That's right. As described above, even I can open the report with CR Designer and the links are getting updated.
- However if I do not reopen and resave the report with Designer ... if I just open and refresh the report in InfoView to get the updated information from the files ... changes are not shown. I face this problem ONLY with ole links to .doc and .exe. OLE links to image formats such as .bmp do work. WHY?
My files are already stored locally to the BO server and the (changed) image files are read and updated from exactly this directory. But not the linked Excel and Word files...
Thanks
Konrad
