Online Report generation

Hi All
I'm using jdeveloper 11.1.2.0
This is my use case.
I'm thinking of developing web reporting tool which enables design report online and generate reports
For this I hope to use Itext for PDF report generation.
I plan to implement a design area in web page and user can Drag and Drop fields to that area so that they can outline the view of the report
First I want to know is there a controller to cater my requirement
Then I'm going to read the position details(for ex coordinations of a particular filed) and generate the PDF report online.
Please can any body give me a suggestion to implement this use case scenario.
Thanks
Padma

Hi,
ADF is not a pixel-perfect user interface and as such doesn't allow you to lay out components this was (though it allows drag and drop). My assumption is that JavaFX, Flash or Java Applets is what you want to look into

    Also, this KB article provides more detail on how to access Citadel data using SQL commands and I think will help answer your question:

  • Excel report generation

    Hello,
    I am looking for a simple solution to this simple problem:
    I have generated an excel data file using LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office ( see diagram below ).
    Now I would like to add data to this worksheet every time I run this VI ( data must expand in column format instead of
    row)  but i have no Idea how to do it .
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thanks

    That's what the start input is for. You tell it where to insert the cells.
    Asides:
    Why aren't you wiring the error out from the new report function to the next function?
    Do not autoindex an array and wire a value to N. Do one or the other, not both. If you do both the loop will run for whichever value (N, or the array size) is smaller.
    Your loop with the function node can be simplified by replacing it with a single Divide function and feeding the Divide function the arrays directly. The numeric functions (as well as many other functions) are polymorphic.

  • Difference between diadem and LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit

    I want to expand LabVIEW's reporting capabilities.  Can someone tell me what the difference is between DIAdem and the LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office.

    Hello Mr Bean,
    There are several major differences between the two solutions. I'll try and outline them as good as I can ...
    The biggest different is that LabVIEW and its toolkits are programming tools and DIAdem is a ready to run application.
    The LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit basically provides an extensive library of VIs that allow you to connect LabVIEW to the MS Office library and create and edit reports in Word and Excel.
    DIAdem is a stand alone application that was designed to post-process data from various sources. The tools included in DIAdem are:
    1. NAVIGATOR: Allows you to import data from files (ASCII, binary, Excel, etc.) as well as DataBases (SQL/ODBC, Citadel, ASAM, etc.). The unique DataPlugin technology available within DIAdem allows you to import vitually and data file by creating a DataPlugin that describes the data format and gets linked to DIAdem. More information at: http://www.ni.com/diadem/dataplugins.htm
    2. VIEW: Graphical and Numerical data inspection tool. Use cursors to zoom and scroll through your data, edit your data graphically and numerically and compare different tests.
    3. ANALYSIS: DIAdem has a wide range of analysis functions, ranging from simple functions like integration and differentiation to FFTs, Order analysis and 3D data analysis.
    4. REPORT: The DIAdem REPORT tool allows you to create reusable report layouts that can contain multiple axis systems (2D, 3D and polar plots) as well as tables (2D and 3D) and variables. The REPORT tool generates templates that can be usedwith multiple data sets due to the inclusion of automatic (or manula if required) scaling as well as extensive use of variables for annotations. Finished reports can be exported to printers, graphics files, the Windows Clipboard, HTML pages and PDF files (PDF writing is build into DIAdem, no extra software required). Using Scripts, it is also possible to create Word, Excel or Powerpoint reports from DIAdem automatically.
    5. SCRIPT: The DIAdem scripting tools allows users to record macros or write scripts that automate complete sequences, for the import of data, via extensive analysis, to creating a publication ready report. Scripts can make reports "intelligent" by modifying the appearance of a report based on the data or calculation results that are going to be displayed in the report.
    I recommend you check out the following link for more information: http://www.ni.com/diadem/
    DIAdem is an extremly powerful tool for report generation. I am leaving to go on a business trip to Asia, but I would be more than happy to give you an Web presentation on DIAdem after I have returned. We could use your data and create a DIAdem report Script together online. My Email address is [email protected] and I will be back the week of Thanksgiving.

  • Open vi error for report generation toolkt

    Originally it works fine.
    Now I upgrade to win7, LV9 and office2010.
    To open the old program by 8.6.1, I reinstalled LV 8.6.1 and report generation toolkit.
    But still got the error as attached.
    Any suggestion, thanks.

    1. MS Office 2010 is not yet supported, since it's still just a beta. I believe there are couple of changes that Microsoft make, and it could cause a problem.
    2. LabVIEW 8.6.1, and all its toolkit is not supported on Windows 7. This could cause a problkem also.
    In conclusion, you should use LabVIEW 2009, Report Generation Toolkit 2009, Windows 7, and downgrade office to XP, 2003 or 2007.

  • Report generation toolkit and signal express user step : problem of closing reference in "Stop" event

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to make a package of Vis to easily make Excel reports with Signal Express. I'm working on LabVIEW 8.2.1.
    I'm using the report generation toolkit, so I build a .llb from my project which contains all the hierarchy of my steps, but also the hierarchy of dynamic VIs called.
    I have made some steps, like "Open Workbook", "Write Data", etc.
    My steps run well, excepts one step : "Close Workbook".
    If my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Run" Signal Express event, I have no error, so my reference is properly closed.
    But if my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Stop" Signal Express event, I have an error "1", from "Generate Report Objectrepository.vi".
    I feel that I'm trying to use a reference which has been killed in the "Stop" step...
    I would like to know what exactly do Signal Express on "Stop" event and why my close function does'nt run well.
    Thanks,
    Callahan

    Hi Callahan,
    SignalExpress (SE for short) does the following on the Stop event:
    1. Takes the list of parameters that SE found on your VI's connector pane, and sets the values that the user set from the "Run LabVIEW VI" configuration page, if any.
    2. Then tells the VI that SE is running the Stop event by setting the Enum found on your VI's front panel. This in turn should produce some boolean values telling your VI to execute the Stop case.
    3. The VI is then run, with those values and states.
    4. SE checks to see if any errors where returned.
    5. Since this is the Stop event, SE releases the reference to the VI which it possesses.
    Questions for you would be, is the reference to your Workbook linked to a control on your connector pane, or held in a uninitialized Shift Register. If it's held in a Shift Register, SE would not be aware of it, and would not be able to affect that reference.
    Hope that helps. Feel free to post your LLB if it doesn't.

  • Report Generation: New Report.vi

    Running applicaion in development mode works fine.
    After compiling however I get Error 7: Open VI Reference in New Report.vi
    Why am I getting this error?

    Has the version of Office on your machine changed since you installed the Report Generation Toolkit?  The VIs will become broken if the ActiveX interface changes, and this can happen when the Office version changes.  I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling the toolkit.  Also, what version of Report Generation Toolkit are you using?  The latest version is 1.1.1.

    P.S. - I'm going to respond to your other thread that you started with a link to this one.  Instead of creating multiple messages on the same question, just wait for a response to your initial thread.

  • Report Generation Toolkit Error (undefined erro)

    Does anybody know what error -214 682 7864 (0x800A01A8) means when coming from the Report Generation Toolkit.
    I have an app which has been happily ticking over for several weeks, and then this error was generated when attempting to write a table to a spreadsheet. The error was generated all the way down in NIReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Excel_Get_range.vi (this is the ActiveX code).
    Any ideas?

    Was it the first time you attempted to write the table to that spreadsheet?
    Maybe the error is due to the spreadsheet grown oversize than its limit so that it cant accomodate the table anymore.
    What is the version of MS Office you are using? I think Office 2003 can go only upto 1024 columns...

  • Report Generation Exe Error

    Hello,
     I am using LV 8.6.1 with the 1.13 report generation toolkit and I am having problems getting my built exe to work.  I am trying to open an excel template and populate it with new data.  I have broke the vi down to just opening excel - opening the template and then fill in some data.  But at this point excel does not open at all.  And naturally everything works fine in the development environment.
    Error Code: -2147352573
    Member not found in NI_ReportgenerationToolkit.lvlib:
    Excel_open_workbook.vi
    NI_Excel.lvclass: new reportsubvi.vi
    I read a few help pages that said to add \vi.lib\utility\NIreport.llb and LVclass directories to the project folder and add them to the always include section of the build.  But no luck so far.
    Side question:  The machine I want to use this on has 8.6.1 Full which does not have the extra excel functions that my developer has.  Is there a way to install the DEV report generation toolkit in the full version?  Then I would not need to build an exe.
    UPDATE:  I just tried the exe on a different machine that has a developer suite installed and it worked fine.  So I guess I need to find out what else I need to add to the build to make it work.

    There should be some info on this in the KB.
    But first you should make sure that your version of the report generation toolkit actually supports excel 2000 (which is 10 years old)
    That should be in the release notes of the toolkit

  • Report-generation vi problem

    On a Windows XP system using the "Text Report Example" vi, the (read) report property node item "TextFont" (stdole.Font) at the beginning of the "Font Style" vi which is a part of the "Set Report Font" vi is returning this error:
    "-1073741819 Unknown System Error in Font Style.vi->Set Report Font.vi->Easy Text Report.vi"
    Any suggestions as to a cause and cure?

    This Knowledge Base from NI's website actually deals with this problem. The fix depends upon whether or not you have the Report Generation Toolkit for LabVIEW. There are fixes for whether or not you have the Toolkit. Hope this helps.

  • Report Generation for Excel does not work after using the Application Builder

    I have a VI that writes data to an Excel file using the Report Generation Toolkit. I recently compiled the VI into a single Application (EXE) using the Application Builder. My VI runs its tests properly, but no data is written to Excel. What could be the cause? I don't receive any error messages.

    Hi
    I usually build exe-files, which sometimes also have report functionality.
    Open the Application Builder and check the following things:
    1. Add the following vis: _Word Dynamic VIs.vi, _Excel Dynamic VIs.vi They should be located in the directory ..\LabVIEW X.X\vi.lib\addons\_office in the llbs _wordsub.llb and _exclsub.llb (report1.jpg)
    2. If you use an Installer, go to the Advanced Settings. There you can select some things to include in the Installer. Check if "NI Reports Support" is selected. (report2.jpg)
    These are the things I always do, if I need reports and I never had problems up to now. I made two screen-shots of these settings.
    Hope this helps.

  • Report Generation Toolkit producing error -2147417842, "The application called an interface that was marshalled for a different thread."

    Hi everybody,
    I've got an application that logs data to an Excel spreadsheet using the Report Generation Toolkit.  My VI's have worked fine in the past using Excel XP, but since I've upgraded to Excel 2007, I am getting COM errors like this one:
    "Error -2147417842 occurred at The application called an interface that was marshalled for a different thread. in Excel_Insert_Text.vi"  That is the exact wording, even with the weird punctuation and capitalization.
    The first occurrence of the error is not determinate.  Sometimes, up to 10 logging sessions, involving a new .xls file, can occur before this error pops up.  Once this error occurs, I must quit LabVIEW to resolve it.  If I try to do anything with Excel, I always get this error, although sometimes it comes out of different source VIs.  Excel_Open.vi is another.
    These logging VIs have worked just fine until upgrading to Excel 2007.  I checked, and I was using a really old version of the Report Generation Toolkit, v1.0.1.  I read the documentation and had a big sigh of relief when I realized I needed to upgraded to v1.1.2 to get Excel 2007 support.  However, even after upgrading, I'm still getting the same errors.  I'm using LabVIEW 8.0.1, and I'm also building these VIs into an application.   The error occurs both in the LabVIEW IDE and in the built application.  Does anybody out there have any idea what I can do to fix this?  I googled a little, and discovered this is a COM error, but I can't find any references to the Report Generation Toolkit specifically.
    Thanks,
    Phil

    Hi Christian,
    I do not see that exact option listed, do you mean "user interface"?  I recognize the "Run in UI Thread" option, it's on the Call Library Function Node.
    I checked, and my top-level VI has "same as caller" set, and I believe all my VIs are set to "same as caller".  Are you suggesting I change my top-level VI preferred execution environment to "user interface", or just the logging sub-VIs that use the Report Generation Toolkit?

  • LabView Exe Applicatio​n file not launch Excel applicatio​n for report generation

    Dear All,
    I created one LabVIEW application file for report generation (using Excel Template).
    While I run the program in programming mode it works well and create the report file in the specified path.
    After creation of the application file(exe), it gives the correct path of where the excel template is placed. The same path is given to New Report.vi, but it gives the error 'File Not Found'.
    Tell me, is any other configuration required for generating Excel reports? (During exe application mode)
    Give me the solution.
    Thank You
    Jegan.

    Hello,
    Most likely you are encountering a problem of stripping and/or building paths.  Probably the easiest thing to do is put a couple indicators on your front panel for the path or paths you care about, build your exe, and make sure you are really using the path you'd like.  If you always put the report at some deterministic place relative to the exe (that is, even it the exe is moved, it will go with the exe and remain in the same relative path location, then you can use the Current VIs Path funtion found in the ... File I/O -> File Constants palette as a start path (where you will want to strip at least the exe name off of course).
    I think this will bring some clarity to the issue!
