Oracle Apps RDF Report generates file with ^M (Carriage return) characters

We are upgrading from 11i to r12 (also moving from HP unix to AIX on hardware side) and this rdf report generates a text file which is then eventually sent to a third party system for printing. Report works just fine in 11i as it generates a file without any ^M chars but in R12 environment, the same report generates file with ^M chars.
Also want to understand how the Oracle Apps system hands over the output files to O/S which is saved.
Pls advice
Thanks

What type of concurrent program are we talk about here?
This is a Report type of Concurrent program
How does the text file get generated?
Report is generating a Text file on :desname, a custom folder.
Was the binary mode used to copy the files from the old server to the new one?
I believe RDF Reports were copied over in Binary format but none of the text files generated from old server are copied over.

Save NI report generator files with new names

I was trying to save labview library files under new names so that I could adapt the code but the 'Save As' option is greyed out. In certain cases, when I try to copy and paste the code, I get broken wires and cannot get the VI's to work.
I have been using the report generator toolkit which is quite limited. I was trying to delete a row from an spreasheet but there is no function to do this. So, one workaround that was suggested to me was to use the 'Excel Insert Cells' VI and change the code to instruct it to 'clear' cells rather than 'insert' them. This works, but I wanted to save a copy of the amended file under a different name so that it was independent of the installed library files but I can't seem to do this. I tried to copy out the code but got broken wires even though I have been able to do this in other instances.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Will

Hi Will,
I had the same problem with a project and found the following workaround:
To ensure the original function of any library VI, it's not recommended to just change the VI to do something else.
Therefore I expanded the VI to do both, the original functionality and the special function I needed.
I made an extra Input to the VI, which is a boolean Input.
With that extra optional Input I can now choose the function I want to do.
I made the "False" case to be default. This case works like the original function.
The "True" case is built to do my special function.
This workaround is quite easy and not dangerous. For all projects, which would use the function in their normal use case it's working just as if the file was unchanged.
And for projects using special functionality I can add a "True" constant to my VI Input and the function works as I want..
Hope this workaround helps to fix your problem!
Kind regards

Webhelp forcefully generating files with lowercase filepath

Hi,
I have a list of APIs in the TOC that has the folder names in Sentence case;
The TOC is somewhat like this:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Product APIs
---xyz
------API documentation
---------foo
------------foo API1
------------foo API2
------------foo API2
------Webservices API documentation
---------Foo
------------FooAPI1
------------FooAPI2
------------FooAPI2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The path to an API in Foo in the auto-generated files, such as in whdata, should be: /product_apis/xyz/webservices/Foo.
However, the path in the the auto-generated files changes to /product_apis/xyz/webservices/foo/
(note 'Foo' changes to 'foo')
Since Linux is case-sensitive, these API links do not work in Linux.
I have replaced all such instances by using a search and replace tool.
But this is only temporary.
How do I make sure the files maintain the correct case of the filepath or foldernames
Thanks and regards,
PT

Okay, got it.
Thanks Rick!!
I could figure out why the links are breaking by knowing that the filapaths are being generated in all lowercase; I got to know about this by examining the auto-generated files. That's about it.
Thanks again

Hello again In RoboHelp 7 if you examine the properties of your Single Source Layout recipe, look near the top of the first page of the dialog. There is where you see the option for lower case file names. http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-3942922-84647/318-346/tmp1.PNG Actually, this option is intended to PREVENT things from going haywire when you publish. When it's enabled, the process of generating WebHelp ensures all file names are lower case. But it also ensures all links are amended to lower case so it will prevent broken links from occurring. I'm confused as to your mention of what's inside the whdata, whgdata and whxdata files. These are auto generated by RoboHelp and there should never be a need to muck about with any of them. If you are, perhaps that's part of the issue? Cheers... Rick http://www.robowizard.com/pc.gif Helpful and Handy LinksRoboHelp Wish Form/Bug Reporting FormBegin learning RoboHelp HTML 7, 8 or 9 within

Which modules of oracle apps have reports and forms?

which modules of oracle apps have reports and forms? Do I need to have strong programming knowledge to learn these?
Plz try to respond as I need to get started with the traiining asap.

Most of Oracle Apps modules come with reports and forms. You would probably need to create your custom module (with custom forms/reports) instead of modifying the standard Oracle Apps forms and reports. Start with "Oracle Applications Developer's Guide" and "Oracle Applications Concepts" manuals, it should be helpful.

Run quickSearch with the carriage-return key

Hi to all,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.2 and developing an application using ADF Business Components and JheadStart 10.1.2.
JHS built the application and i need to do some post-generation.
I need to run quickSearch with the carriage-return key.
To do that, i replace
<messageTextInput id="searchText" name="searchText" text="${searchBean.searchText}" rows="1" maximumLength="255" columns="60"/>
by
<messageTextInput id="searchText" name="searchText" text="${searchBean.searchText}" rows="1" maximumLength="255" columns="60">
<enterClientAction>
<fireAction event="quickSearch"/>
</enterClientAction>
</messageTextInput>
The problem is the carriage-return action go systematically to the BackButtonErrorPage.
How can i solve this problem ?
Is it a good solution ?
Sorry, if my english is not very well.
Thanks
Laurent

Thank you Martijn for your help
I tried your solution :
In UIX :
<messageTextInput id="searchText" onKeyDown="if(window.event.keyCode==13) doSearch(event,'goSearchButton');" name="searchText" text="${searchBean.searchText}" promptAndAccessKey="& de recherche" rows="1" maximumLength="255" columns="60"/>
<button id="goSearchButton" name="goSearchButton" onClick="doDataEvent('quickSearch','quickSearch', 'true' );" text="${nls.GO}"/>
In javascript :
function doSearch(e, buttonName) {
buttonToClick = document.getElementById(buttonName);
buttonToClick.click();
The behaviour is the same, i often go to the BackButtonErrorPage but not systematically.
But if i use the search button, i never go to the BackButtonErrorPage.
I don’t undersand,
Anybody has an idea ?

Separating "concatenated responses" with a carriage return?

How can you separate multiple text responses with a carriage return?
Nothing looks good, semicolons and periods not working well.
Any ideas?

I'm using a Mac.
I'd like to separate individual responses in the summary column with a carriage return, so if the first response in the table column is "Fortunate" and the next response below it is "Random", and then "Bob's your uncle", what shows up right now with =concatenate(@column & "; ") isn't quite what I want (shows up as: Fortunate; Random; Bob's your uncle; ).
I'd like it either to show up as numbered responses (ie, 1. Fortunate 2. Random 3. Bob's your uncle)
Or show up as:
Fortunate
Random
Bob's your uncle
Thanks for the help.

Oracle Apps.XML reports ending with warning when the report output contains

Hi I have XML reports. When we run these reports as concurrent program through Oracle Apps. window and if the report output contains special characters(like Chineese data) in between of English, then the concurrent program is ending with warning. If we remove special characters then it is working fine or when we run the report query directly from backend it is working fine.
We are importing this data from legacy system into oracle apps. and we can't control these characters or decode them with some other charactes.
Can any one guide me how to get the XML report output with special characters.
Thanks in advance.
Chandra Babu Lankipalli.

Hi Hussein,
The concurrent program is ending with Warning. It is unable to publish output file.
For the same when we remove special characters and run the program it is completing and generating the
output. The log fine is as follows when the data file contains special characters.

Outbound interface - Generating files with ANSI encoding.

Hi All,
I am able to generate output files with txt extension. But it is generating in UTF-8 encoding files, myself when i open the files in notepad, i find UTF-8 and when opened in wordpad i find ANSI. My user wants it in ANSI in any case.
One more thing my client's language is Spanish, where there will be special characters like Ñ, so if the file is in ANSI, will there be a problem for this characters.
Please help.

So which OS is to blame? The Mac seems to be inserting weird paragraph returns that Windows doesn't understand, no matter what type of file encoding you use (UTF-8, Western Windows Latin 1, Western DOS Latin 1).
My understanding is that TextEdit uses standard Unix type line endings, called LF (line feed, hex 0A). Windows stuff uses a different convention, CR + LF (0D 0A). If a Windows app will not display text just because it encounters something other than CR + LF, I'd say it probably has a bug of some sort.
Is there a solution to this probem?
I don't think the line endings of TextEdit can be changed. Some other apps like Text Wrangler offer you a choice in their preferences.

Oracle Apps 11i Reports

Hi,
we are working in oracle apps 11i. I have an application report developed by an ex-employee that I would like to add a new parameter to .
I use reports builder 6i . The reports consists of 6 queries and I'm facing the following issues:
1. when running the report from Oracle Reports builder I can use the second parameter. But from the application request form the report generates no data when the very same set of parameters is used. What can be the problem? What do I need to check?
2. Can I outer join the queries in reports builder .If yes, how can I do that? From where?

ORACLEAS Portal Activity Reports - Generating Portal activity reporsts

Hi i am a very new to oracle i suppose to generate report for audit trails and others like the top 10 URL by hour by day and by month
What is the guidelines that i am suppose to do , it seem like there are many ways of generating reports some how is not what i really wants.
I saw one at
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/B10464_02/portal.904/b13675/cg_monit.htm it leads me to read README.html at the oraclehome to load oracle portal log files into d/b
is this the correct way i am doing??
is there anymore guide i can get from? does anybody has done the same report?
THANK YOU

Ok so you mean that you want this:
1. Collect statistics from Oracle Portal - portlet performance, top URL's etc
2. Using these statistics, generate reports
If this is true, then for step 1, you will have to contact Oracle Portal team. You can post your Q here (Portal General Forum):

ALM11 Report Generator: problem with Call to Test

In ALM11 Analysis View I added a report to generate a Word Document from testcases I desigend in TestPlan.
However if the testcase contains a Call to Test to a template test, I get an error message.
"Unexpected server error occured during Report generation (Task Id - 16292) Contact your system administrator for more information"
When I remove the test with the Call to Test the report generates fine.
It does not matter if the template test is part of the folder I want to generate or not.
Has anyone a solution for this

Robohelp HTML 8 - Generating files with apostrophe in file name

Before I start, I have read this thread
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1062904#1062904 and several others, yet I still have questions.
Previously I used Robohelp 5x, which worked perfectly. Our user manuals are in MS Word and each have several topics that have apostrophes in the topic name (that are necessary in the topic). Robohelp 5x would import the Word Document without issue and create HTML files that automatically replaced the apostrophe with an underscore. All references (Index, TOC, etc) to those files also automatically changed to underscore.
Fast Forward to Robohelp 8.0.2 (yes, I have the update). Even if I go into the options and make sure "Use Underscores in file names" is selected - it no longer replaces the apostrophe with an underscore (though it does replace the spaces with underscores).
Locally, when I generate the online help (WebHelp) and put it on our local webserver - it works just fine. Even with the apostrophes in the file names and references.
However, when the WebHelp files are hosted at our server hosting facility, any links within the Webhelp to files with an apostrophe result in a 404 error. I have searched and searched to see if there is some kind of server setting to allow these special characters to be recognized in the file name but have not had any luck.
Per the link at the beginning of this post, the issue in that thread was resolved by changing the file name of the HTML files. I attempted to change the file name of the HTML files that RoboHelp created. However as far as I can tell there is no way to do this within RoboHelp 8. If I attempt to do it outside of RoboHelp 8, I need to import all of the "new" HTML files and all references (Table of Contents, Index, etc) now show broken links and need to be re-linked to this new topic. This is not an option. I have 12 user manuals that are updated on a regular basis and the renaming\relinking process would take forever.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-Noob

I was able to log into the server hosting facility and look at the html files themeslves.
It appears that at some point (between when I created them locally and now) all of the apostrophes in the file names were changed to "Æ". This blew my mind. And sure enough if I plug in the URL and replace the apostrophe with "Æ" the page shows up just fine.
From what I've been reading it looks like that may be related to the conversion from MS Word and "Smart Quotes". I'm looking into that now, but any help would still be great.
Thanks,
