Oracle 9i Excel Reports

Hi,
I've created Excel reports following the steps found in
http://technet.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html, Output to Excel with Oracle 9i Report.
This works great when I am running in my local OC4J, but it does not work in the Reports Server environment.
The report url just does not work. I tried to add other parameters like desformat, destype, mimetype and it will work with a small resultset but it includes the headers files in rows like a delimited file output and it's not using the format created.
Is there any known problems with the Reports Server on this? Any workaround?
Thanks,
Albert

The delimiteddata works as per the datamodel only.
Arrange the fields in datamodel as per the output of the report and if there are any fields in data nodel which you dont want to display Make the property "Exclude from XML output" as Yes from the property pallette.
Thanks,
Ashok

Aggregated data from oracle to excel report

Hi all,
I have a requirement where i need to fill in an excel report using aggregated data in oracle tables.
example: i need to find total number of employees in each department and the total salaries of each department. My excel report looks like below
DEPT|total employees| total salaries
dept 10|15|75000
dept 20|0|0
dept 30|20|100000
dept 40|5|25000
TOTAL|40|200000
declare
begin
execute immediate 'insert into abc select count(empid),sum(sal), dept_id from emp group by dept_id';
end;
the above query gives me the aggreagted output and then i need to manually insert the data into the excel report. Instead i need an oracle procedure that will automatically insert the data from abc table into the excel report.
i know that the utl_file is used to export the data, but never used.
any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks

Webutil Error when trying to run excel report from Oracle form

I am trying to run an excel report from a oracle from but it throws me following error:
Oracle.forms.webutil.fileTransfer.FileTransfer bean not found. WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.getmaxtransfer will not work
Can you tell what is this error due to and how to eradicate this.

hi
Did you generate .plx?
please check if you did not generate plx and if u did not create db packages please create the webutil user and create db packages.
here is the webutil configurations.
How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
Note: [OraHome] is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
[OraHome] with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
[JacobStage] is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
     cd [JacobStage]
     copy jacob.jar [OraHome]\forms\java\.
     copy jacob.dll [OraHome]\forms\webutil\.
The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
Open a DOS command prompt.
Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
     set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open [OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
     CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
     DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
     TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
     GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
     CONNECT webutil/[password]@[connectstring]
     @[OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
     -- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
     CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
     grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify [OraHome]\forms\server\default.env, and append [OraHome]\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Start the OC4J instance
7) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in
Note 303682.1
If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
8) Create a new FMB.
Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
         NULL;
to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
         show_webutil_information (TRUE);
in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
9) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
      http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
10) Run your form.hope this helps u.

Extremely Urgent - Excel reports in Oracle9i

I need to output several of my existing reports PDF reports to MS Excel. The excel report must look close to the PDF output. How can I accomplish this ? We currently use reports 6i but the 'delimited' option and the 'delimiteddata' (data model driven) will not work for me as the report does not look anything like I want.
I believe reports 9i has better capabilities of outputting to excel. I came across this web page:
http://technet.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html
Switching to a different tool is not an option. I have to use Oracle Reports 6i or 9i.
but there is not enough information in the slide show to help me. My reports are quite complex with several levels of grouping. I have several place holder, formula columns, summary columns. The totalling happens in various hierarchical levels.
Is there any documentation anywhere else other than this slideshow?
Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Hi Suresh,
You might want to try a workaround:
Suppose you have the paper layout defined in the report (Oracle Reports9i). Go to the web source, and change the contentType as
<%@ page contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" %>
Also, in the jsp, inside the <rw:dataarea> tag, refer to the "outermost frame" of your paper layout, eg
<rw:dataArea id="yourDataArea">

<rw:include id="M_G_EMPLOYEE_ID_GRPFR" src="M_G_EMPLOYEE_ID_GRPFR">
</rw:include>
</rw:dataArea>
Deploy the jsp and access it in the browser. It should show the output in Excel.

How to compare two excel reports and find the difference in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have a requirement that needs to compare two excel reports in XML Publisher 5.6.2. or BI publisher 10.1.3.4
If anybody has an idea about this pls help us.
Thanks,

Since our customer wants to have this comparison only with BI reports....here is the scenario how the comparison should be..
Now,we have a parameters called Customer name and version id. Version id list will be refreshed based on the customer selection.
User can generate the report based on the selected customer name and version id. These data are fetch from the oracle database and we are using Data Template in the BI Publisher.
Now the requirement is customer wants to compare two version id data. for example, v1.2 and v1.3
Now they wanna to see both the reports while generating in the same work sheet, like, v1.2report should display in the left side and the v1.3report has to display in the right hand side of the same work sheet.
Now...If there is any addition happened in v1.3 report,then that cell/data should display as a green color in that report.
If any deletion happened in v1.3report then that should be in the red color.
If any modification happened in v1.3 then that should be in the yellow color.
If there is no difference then that should display as it is.
the thing is that, the both the reports (v1.2 and v1.3)should display side by side in the same worksheet with the format and everything........only the difference should be highlighted.
Template is same for both the reports..
To display the data for both versions i think i can generate the template side by side of both in the same worksheet.
Now, My question is how to find the difference of data in the RTF Template for both the versions
Can anybody assist me?

Very Urgent - DELIMITEDDATA question for MS Excel reports

Hi,
I have several queries, formula , place holder, summary columns in my data model view. Is there any way I can control the order in which they appear on the delimiteddata file. A lot of the reports I have a pretty complex with summaries at multiple hierarchical levels. The users are adamant that they want these reports for MS Excel. Is there anything I can do to control the order and placement of the data in my data model view ?
I am using Oracle Reports 6i (6.0.8.22.0) or patch 13, I believe.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
The DELIMITEDDATA desformat is a primarily data-driven format, and thus allows only limited control over the layout of the data in the output.
Another option you can try is to generate to Excel directly using web reporting and Excel templates in Reports 9i, as explained in the 'Output to Excel with Oracle9i Reports' on OTN at http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html. Using this technique, you can use the Reports JSP tags and HTML to customize your report's Excel output.
Thanks,

Excel Report JSP Exception

Hello All,
I am unsuccessfully following the "Output to Excel with Oracle9i Report" tutorial found at http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html to create a web-based JSP report that automatically opens in Excel within the browser. I created the template using Excel, saved this as a web page, opened this in Reports Builder, etc. Once I complete the report in Reports Builder and save it as a Reports JSP, I can successfully run this within Reports Builder using the "Run Web Layout" feature. The problem is when I try to run this JSP within my web-application in JDeveloper using the in-line reports server. The browser launches Excel, but then the ReportsTag.doStartTag() method throws a JspException (see below). Anyone seen this problem or been successful achieving this? I have a normal web-based JSP report that is running fine within JDeveloper using the reports in-line server. Also, the only way I could get my web/paper-based report to be generated in PDF format and Paginated HTML was to start a separate reports server and submit my report to the rwservlet of this server. Shouldn't I be able to use the in-line server in JDeveloper? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Bill
Let me clarify your doubts. You can use in-process Reports server with report servlet as well as from the jsp engine. The difference here is really on what Reports you can actually run from Reports servlet and jsp engine.
For running from Report servlet:
http://xx.x.xx.xxx:9004/reports/rwservlet?reports=...
You would be using report definition file [rdf/jsp] which have paper layout information included in definition. You can run these paper reports to pdf/html/rtf/delimited/delimitedata format.
Runnig a reports from jsp engine:
http://xx.x.xx.xxx:9004/reports/examples/<reports_name.jsp>?server=...+userid=...
You would be running a report definition [jsp/xml] which have reports jsp tags as part of reports web layout information. Please note these web layout reports which you mention using reports jsp tags, are run under the jspengine using reports tag libraries. The only format you can generate here is html [or excel output].
Reports in-process server is a concept where if user has not started a exclusive Report server, Report servlet, and also reports tag libraries, would start a default reports server to run the particular request. This way it would make things easy for the user and he would need to manage a seperate report server of it own.
Thanks

Image in generated excel report

Hi to all,
I am creating an excel report by following the demo in otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/demonstrations/index.html. However I need to include an image to the excel output. Initially, when I made the layout design in excel, I am able to embed the image through the insert -> picture from file function in excel but when I converted it to HTML and JSP, it was converted as an img tag with a source pointing to an image file in a directory. When I generate the excel report, there is no image and I am left with transparent box that act as a placeholder for the missing image. Does anyone know how the image can be embedded to the excel report when it is generated?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi swati,
If we want to display an image which located in sharefolder based on ID, we can refer to the following steps:
Insert an image in the design surface, select External format as the image source.
In “Use this image” tab, click the fx button to add the expression like below:
="File://" + Fields!FolderPath + "/" + User!UserID + ".jpg"
The link below is for your reference:

Hope this helps.

Excel Report can't embed PL/SQL?

This is the 3rd time I am posting this question but there doesn't seem to be anyone who can confirm whether it is possible or how to include PL/SQL in a Excel report (.jsp) built using Report Builder.
I've looked at all the Metalink notes at
http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=209770.1 but it is not relevant to what I am looking for.
Anyone out there who can help me please?
Thank you,
Siak Teng

I think the reason is your question confusing for most of us in the Oracle world. Why would you write a report in Oracle Reports that connects to a database to produce an Excel file that has embed PL/SQL that will reconnect to the database when you open the file? From a database stand point this is very inefficient since you are connecting to the database multiple times for one report.
So the first reason is most Oracle developers wouldn't create a report that way.
Most Oracle Reports developers would run the PL/SQL that you want to embed at the time the Excel file is created. Not after the Excel file is created. The way you are describing is you would have to listen to all the other replies on this topic that I have seen.
First you would have to go to an MS Excel forum and find out the code you would have to embed to do what you want it to from an Excel point of view. Like the first reply to your first post stated. Since it will be Excel that will be executing that part of the code, you need to get that info from the MS forum. Then you would create a field on your report with the embed code you want Excel to run.
