Opening report in 10g

We recently upgraded from 9iAS to 10g (MS Windows 2000) and now we are having problems with our reports server.
We call our reports from forms using run_report_object. We use SSO and our report output is in PDF (with some font subsetting). In cca. 9 out of 10 cases everything works as expected.
After 9 successfuly executed reports, when we run the next one (it doesn't matter which one), we don't get any output and report times out (we have a timeout setting of 2 minutes). Trying to run the same report again with the same parameters works normally (pdf shows up in couple of seconds, as expected).
What I noticed, after executing the problematic report and before timeout, when I check the current jobs(/reports/rwservlet/showjobs), it usually shows 'opening the report'. The only message I get after timeout is Terminated with error: <br>REP-56106: Engine rwEng-0 is destroyed due to timeout
We have our software installed at 3 different sites, they all are experiencing the same problem.
I couldn't find the source of the problem and couldn't find anything similar on metalink.
Any idea?
Bug?

1) Pls turn on tracing $OH\reports\conf\server_name.conf uncomment trace element and see logs in
$OH\reports\logs\server_name\*.*
You may get some clue there or post any exceptions errors here
2) Reports server is subjected to stress testing. These kinds of problem (10th report hanging) would definitely get caught there. So this problem would not be very generic. Something is very specific in your situation which causes this.
Other than (1) -
I suggest to file a support request as this problem is not generic and I feel it is difficult to understand everything in your setup in a discussion forum

Excel Output when Converting 6i Reports to 10g

I am attempting to convert about 25 reports from Oracle Reports 6i to Oracle Reports 10g (10.1.0.4.2). The existing 6i system uses the Oracle Portal for job submission. The report server and our Oracle database are on Sun/Sparc/UNIX computers for both 6i and 10g. We have no space issues. In 10g, users will submit reports from Oracle Forms, running on Windows desktops.
I am an experienced programmer in Windows reports and forms using MS-Access and Visual Basic. I am new to Oracle Reports and Forms.
The existing 6i reports were set up so that a single report can be generated in either PDF or Excel format by just changing the DESFORMAT parameter from PDF to DELIMITED. We also have multiple optional parameters. In 10g, I cannot get the Excel to generate when there are groupings or summaries in the PDF version.
In the 6i version, headers, footers, and summary lines were enabled or disabled in appropriate triggers through PL/SQL code:(IF :DESFORMAT = ‘DELIMITED’ THEN RETURN TRUE/FALSE;). In order to get the Excel spreadsheet we use the following URL: http://server1/reports/rwservlet?my_reports&report=labor_detail&destype=cache&desformat=delimited&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel&paramform=no&BEGIN_DATE=01%2F01%2F2009&END_DATE=01%2F31%2F2009&RESOURCE_TYPE=100
When I converted the 6i report to 10g, I changed the following properties to support web layout:
•     Report > Report Escapes
•     Report > XML Settings
•     Web Source: <%@ page contentType. . . and <rw:include. . .
•     Paper Layout> Body> Web Settings > Table Attributes
•     Changed triggers from :DESFORMAT = ‘DELIMITED’ to :DESFORMAT = ‘SPREADSHEET’; also tried deleting these triggers altogether
In hopes of getting something to work, I rewrote a report for Excel only, but it will only accept one parameter. When multiple parameters are provided, it displays the correct data, but in paper layout.
In the 10g version that is for Excel only, we use the following URL:
http://server2/reports/rwservlet?my_reports&report=labor_detail&DESTYPE=CACHE&DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET&WHERE_CLAUSE%20AND%20WORK_DATE>=’01/01/2009’%20AND%20WORK_DATE<=’01/31/2009’%20AND%20RESOURCE_TYPE=’100’
I tried submitting the 10g report with the &MIMETYPE parameter, and it appears to open up the PDF file in Excel. I am using .rdf format, but I don’t see any difference when I use .jsp format.
Is there a way I easily convert my existing reports and parameters so that they will produce Excel format?

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. I don't think I need to use the Forms Migration tool since the form has already been migrated from 6i to 10G. (Since I am now using an existing 10G form rather than trying to convert my 6i form.) I will check the FORMS_PATH. Is that in my registry file? I'm pretty sure the library has been compiled in 10G since it is attached to the other 10G forms I have and they work fine. But, just in case, how do I compile the library? And back to the FORMS_PATH: I still have the 6i version of Forms Builder on my PC. Will changing the path affect using 6i? Probably yes.

Report Builder 10g problem

I already create my report by using report builder 10g then I run it and its ok after that I tried to make some modification on that report and I Compile it(ctrl+shift+k) and Generate it(ctrl+t) the I saved it as RDF file but when i run it the modification which i made it didn't show on the report i dont know why?
any body has idea in this
plz help me..
Regards
Rahma Al-Saadi

Probably you might have old .rep file in your directory. You can create .rep file of you modified rdf file by opening it in builder and pressing Ctrl+T.
This is a Forms forum , you can post in Reports for better replies.

Using DDE package in report builder 10g

Hi,
I use this code in form 10g to edit a ms word and its work properly:
DECLARE
APPID PLS_INTEGER;
CONVID PLS_INTEGER;
DOCID PLS_INTEGER;
SYS_DATE CHAR(8);
BEGIN
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MM/DD/YY') INTO SYS_DATE FROM DUAL;
APPID := DDE.APP_BEGIN('C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE',
DDE.APP_MODE_MINIMIZED);
CONVID := DDE.INITIATE('WINWORD','SYSTEM');
DDE.EXECUTE(CONVID,'[FileOpen "c:\bin_test\exp.dotx"]', 10000);
DOCID := DDE.INITIATE('WINWORD','c:\bin_test\exp.dotx');
DDE.POKE(DOCID,'BOOKMARK1', SYS_DATE,DDE.CF_TEXT,10000);
DDE.EXECUTE(DOCID,'[FileSaveAs "c:\bin_test\output.doc"]', 10000);
DDE.TERMINATE(CONVID);
END;
when I put this code in the afterreport trigger in report builder 10g and call the report from form;
a blank document word is opened withoud any changes as well as the report result in pdf format.
what can i do to let this code work in report builder??
best regards,
Ahmad

I use this code in form 10g to edit a ms word and its work properlyI very much doubt that. Calling DDE from Forms this way would result in trying to open Word on the <b>server</b>.
the report result in pdf formatThe report result format is determined by how it is called. Looks like you call it with desformat=pdf.

By all means feel free to post your question as often as you like!
In webforms DDE runs on the middle tier; it might do what you want against your local OC4J now, but it surely won't open a thing when you run it against an application server.
Maybe you should enlighten us with your requirement, maybe there is a better solution for your problem.

Migration report 6i 10G (10.1.2.0.2)

Hello, I have a problem for the pìmigrazione from Report 6i to Report 10G in Linux .
I use in order to convert such code:
/rwconverter.sh source=/u01/app/oracle/OraHome_2/RPT.RDF stype=rdffile dest=RPT.RDF dtype=rdffile userid=ora/ora@net compile_all=yes
But they give the following error to me: REP-0152: Positional argument specified after keyword.
You have some idea?
Thanks

Does this happen for all reports or for only one report?
Try the same for one simple report and check whether it works fine.
Also if u have reports builder 10g open in 10g and check whether report
gets upgraded.

FinRep 9.3.1: All users getting error opening reports from root directory

We are having an irritating, although not missiion critical error
When a user (any user) attempts to open a report from the explorer view in Financial Reporting 9.3.1, we receive an "_Error 1000165"._ No explanation is provided. No folders are openable within the explorer view except "Personal Page."
It is possible to open reports by opening a report that got accidentally stored in the root directory and then opening another report from the menu system in the usual way. So it is not a user permissions/provisioning issue.
Is there a fix to this? I am afraid someone will clean out the root directory and then we won't be able to access our reports.
Update: I can use the pattern "VariancePercent([B(A)],[A(A)])" to cut this to 27 Columns by varying the direct reference to the column. But is there an easier way to do this?
Edited by: user10868938 on Feb 24, 2009 3:43 PM

We have been able to complete the update of our users SSID's in our Planning SQL tables through the utility. We had to create the users in Essbase first though.
However, if I try to log into Planning (through Workspace) I still cannot see the Planning applicaitons I should have access too. In Shared Services if I pull up my network ID and View Report, I do not get any Planning groups to show up that I belong too. I can open the group in HSS and see my ID is in it but when I do the View Report on my ID nothing comes up.
Additionally, if I add a user from scratch to the existing Planning groups that we've migrated and do the View Report they will show up for that user and the security passes through to Planning/Essbase so that I could log on fine. So, the problem is not with adding new users but the existing one's that were migrated. HSS shows the users in the groups but if you view a Report for those users it doesn't look like you belong to any groups.
We are going to apply a patch to Shared Services to see if it helps. It's suppose to deal with Groups that have users from multple domains but one set of those users cannot log into the application they should have access too. We applied this in our stand-alone S9 Essbase environment a couple of months ago to deal with a break between our existing users and groups from HSS to Essbase. Maybe this will be the final piece.

ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - query - If statement in Alias ?

I have the following select statement. It has the alias Survivors, Deaths and "All
With the ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - I have the following query statement. I require the alias to change. Can the following be done.
Cases". Is it posible to use :P_LANGUAGE variable to say that -- IF :P_LANGUAGE = FRENCH THEN alias are Survivants for survivors, Décès for Deaths, Tous_les_cas for All Cases. Please advise
SELECT ALL T_NTR_MULTIBAR.CAT, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_LEFTBAR AS Survivors,
T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_MIDDLEBAR AS Deaths, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_RIGHTBAR AS "All Cases"
FROM T_NTR_MULTIBAR
WHERE INSTANCE_NUM = :P_INSTANCENUM
order by ORDERS

It is no problem, you can automatically change the complete query before the report is running, which delivers you different kind of values. But the alias names does not change in the group of the data-model, although two query are running with different alias names at different times. In the data model you see the alias names of the first implemented select statement, which are the column fields in the layout.

Custom aggregate "Apply to Open Report" does not add the item to the report

When I create a custom aggegate and click on "apply to open report", the custom aggregate does not get added to the report. The custom aggregate exists in the selector list and I can add it to the report using the selector. Why does the "apply to open report" not work and any ideas how to debug the problem?
the dversion is:

Hi Carla,
Sorry to ask such a basic question, but are talking about Oracle Sales Analyzer?

How Can I open Report within the same window instead of separate Window

Hi All,
I want to open report in my MDI form instead of opening it into a separate Oracle Report Navigator(i.e. Window which shows the report). How to do that? When I click the Report from Menu it should open it within the MDI Form. Any suggestion or reply would be greatly appreciated.
One more question is how can i open report with in a maximized state. Actaully, the report will be opened in the normal state. How to open in maximized state instead of normal state. Is there any property in reports to acheive this?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Gopinath Kona

hello,
reports is a separate application that is called from forms and therefore is running outside the context of the forms MDI window.
you can use the commandline parameter MAXIMIZE=YES to start the runtime in full-screen-mode.

Issue is TEXT_IO application API is not working in report builder 10g.

Issue is TEXT_IO application API is not working in report builder 10g.
TEXT_IO application api is working in report builder 6i. (Not working in upgrade from Oracle EBiz 11i to Oracle Ebiz R12)
I saw that details in some forums, client_text_io is available for form builder 10g.
Is any other api available for report builder 10g?
If it is available what steps we need to do?

All the CLIENT_% procedures are part of webutil in Forms. Forms uses the Java applet on the client PC to perform actions on the local PC via webutil. This is not possible for Reports.
You can still use text_io on the server, but you need some other way to copy the files to/from the client PC.
I wonder how you used the functionality in EBS R11. Even R11 uses web reports, so text_io already worked on the server, not the client PC.

Report server 6i and Report services 10g

what is the extra features in Report Services 10g which are not available in Report server 6i.
why would we use AS report services 10g rather then report server 6i,and our only requirment is to run oracle report on web which can fulfill with the help of reports server 6i.

There is a long list of new features and I cant put all of them here
You can see docs below
For running on Web 9i, 10g moves to Servlet based architecture (though old cgi mode is available for backward compatibility). Reports behaves as a component in IAS and can be monitored and managed through Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM).

Unable to open reports from forms

I managed to configure the forms and report services ( 10g application server ) in my web server , the report server works, only 1 problem , when I run the report , the parameter form came out asking me to select the course report i want.
However, after I selected the value I wanted and press Submit Query, I get a "page cannot be displayed" error.
I think is some configuration I missed out. Can anyone help to verify the configurations I may need?
The version I install is 10.1.2 forms and report services 10g .
Thank you
