Just the ESC code, but if there is needed for configuration for that, kindly add it up.

Thanks, The problem seem to persist in the opmn.log.
The logs say that there is a problem with the Connection. Particularly
01/21/03 07:27:09 Connection 1,206.101.32.36,6201
connect (errno=111)
Another error we are seeing is 6201
There is something about the DISPLAY variable being set in the configuration files. We made sure it was set according to the document note you have mentioned. After testing, the problem seem to persit.
02/10/01 07:27:09 Connection 1,206.101.32.36,6201 connect (errno=146). Document ID 283586.995 on Metalink mention some thing similar.

How to suppress extra form feed for character report printing using ORARRP?

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) on Windows 2003 Server and most of our client PC's are Windows XP Professional machines. We are migrating our existing oracle application from 2-tier architecture to 3-tier architecture (6i to 10g). We have installed ORARRP utility for remote direct printing and to a limited extent we are successfull in getting the things work out for our system users, However, we are facing a problem using the ORARRP utility for which we are not able to find a solution till date.
We have configured ORARRP utility on every user's PC and the printing of bitmap reports is working well. However, while printing CHARACTER reports using ORARRP utility, after the report gets printed, an EXTRA FORM FEED is issued by ORARRP to the printer and because of this the printer stationary skips one extra page and advances to the next page. Please note that this EXTRA FORM FEED happens only while printing a CHARACTER REPORT.
Has anyone come across such a problem using ORARRP ? How can we avoid this extra FORM FEED from CHARACTER REPORT printing using ORARRP ? Is there any other tool which supports remote direct printing just like ORARRP?
I shall be highly obliged if anyone could reply to my queries ASAP.
Regards,
KrishnaKumar S

Please help ! I tried the "send_form_feed" and "postscript_dos_print" parameters without success. The extra form feed is always there. Thanks.

I have found this reference on a search of oracle:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_trouble.htm
Section D1.11 says this is a know problem and to copy one registry entry to another, however, this entry does not exist on the Windows 2003 server this is running on.
Any ideas?
D.1.11 Printing and Font Errors When Using In-process Server
The in-process server does not recognize the default printer of a user currently logged on to Windows. This is because the service that runs the in-process server is logged on as the Local System.
Problem
Any of the following:
* Printing to default printer fails with the REP_3002 error. For example, the following command:
http://myrepsrvr.us.oracle.com:7777/reports/rwservlet?report=myrep.rdf&destype=printer&desformat=html
results in the following error: Error:"REP-3002: Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed."
* Deploying reports containing Oracle6i Graphics (OGD) graphics causes Reports Server to stop responding.
* Font alignment problems in a PDF file output from an in-process server.
Solution
To work around all these issues:
1. Open the Windows registry using a registry editor (for example, regedit.exe). Create a backup of the registry before you edit it.
2. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Windows
3. Copy the string value of Device for this key. For example: \\MOWGLI\sierra,winspool,Ne02:
4. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Windows
5. Paste the Device value copied from HKEY_CURRENT_USER (the string value of Device for this key will be empty).

I've created a character report without user

I've created a character report without user parameters that works just fine.
The moment I've created a user parameter, without even putting it in a query, instead of
a report I've got the message: "REP-1219: 'repeating_frame_name' has no size - length or with is zero".
The same message I've got few times before:
1. When in the Layout Model -> Main Section Width and Height were not set correctly. Setting Width and Height to right numbers solved the problem
2. When 2 frames were overlapping. Turning off Snap to grid and moving the frames just a little from one another solved my problem.
What should I do this time ?

Oracle 10g Reports Server - problem authenticating against DB

I have a problem with Oracle 10g Reports server authenticating against an Oracle RDBMS.
When I try to run reports, an authentication form screen is presented, with the password field empty (the URL in explorer that loads this page contains the username and DB instance, but is missing the password) and the following error message:
REP-51018: Need database user authentication
When the password is entered into the empty field in the form and submitted, another 2 authentication errors are given.
REP-51018: Need database user authentication
REP-12545: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
When the URL in the browser location field is manually altered to include the DB password, the reports are authenticated fine.
Any ideas which config file I should be looking in?
Any pointers would, of course, be much appreciated.
thanks,
Brian

Hello, i finally have discovered what was happening, it has to be with the way FreeBSD passes the password field. By default FreeBSD passes the password field with a '*' while Oracle Linux (and Red Hat clones) expect an 'x' to look into shadow maps (Linux uses the '*' character in the password file to not allow login to that user).
To solve it the password field served by the NIS server must be substituted, which is accomplished with nsswitch.conf and adding a line to the /etc/password file on the NIS Client, so the final files will look this way:
# nsswitch.conf (compat directive allows us to use the '+' sintaxis in /etc/passwd file)
passwd files compat
# /etc/passwd (just add at the end of file)
+:x:::::

Hi
i m also face this problem so if u have any Idea plz inform me :
Printer Used : EPSON LQ 2180 , EPSON LQ 1170
O/S : Windows 98, Windows NT (Server, Workststation)
We are facing a problem regarding character report printing. We have tested several options on different printers but the results are quiet strange. We are not sure whether its the problem of printer driver or does our oracle installation require a patch for it.
We have both Oracle Developer 6i Release 1 and Release 2 as fronted and Oracle 8i (8.1.7) release 3 at backend. The actual problem is , we are printing character based Report of size 11 x 5.5 on Line printer. When we print the pay slip through Windows NT WorkStation environment the report format gets distorted but when we print on Windows 98 it is quiet fine.
P.S I have noted one thing peculiar, when the printer is attached to Windows NT Workstation to its LPT port and we print from a Windows 98 client using the default PRT of Oracle the printout is fine as expected. We can control the pitch and font from the printer.(17 cpi and Draft Font)
When using Windows NT client and default PRT of Oracle the printout is not coming the same as desired and there is no control over the pitch and fonts through the printer itself.
The printer we are using are EPSON LQ 2180 , EPSON LQ 1170 and PRINTRONIX P5005B. One thing more that when we use EPSON LQ 2180 and EPSON LQ 1170 printers the result are quiet different from PRINTRONIX P5005B.
The Contents of prt file (dflt.prt) is following:
printer "dflt"
height 66
width 132
before report control(N)
after page control(L)
return control(M)
linefeed control(J)
We urgently need the solution.

Rep60: mismatched fonts in character reports

We have some character reports with Courier New (normal and bold). Sometimes we have experienced that one or more reports, with no apparent reason, change their font. It becomes usually "LucidaConsole.." or "Arial". This thing causes reports to show unprintable characters or symbols (ran either from RDF and REP). The worst thing is that the same report has different results on different clients (W98 - W98Se - WNT) without apparent logic. We have already test the contents of font directory on various PCs without finding significative differences.
Have you already experienced this ?
Thanks to all of you in advance

hello,
from your question i understand that you want to create a barcode in a character mode report. this will be very difficult as it requires the destination printer to be able to print barcodes. a barcode font will not help here, as charactermode reports do not leverage fonts other than ones available in the printer.
usually it is more to creating a barcode than just printing the value in barcode font. most barcodes need special algorithms to create chechsums and similar stuff.
you might want to look into our barcode example that shows you how to use a java bean to generate a barcode.
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/BarcodeBeanPaper/index.html
oracle does neither ship barcodefonts nor java beans to generate barcodes for production purposes. the supplied sampels are for demo purposes only. however there are several commercially available fonts as well as javabeans on the market.

philipp

How do I use the Oracle Developer Reporting Control in Visual Basic 6.0?

I was wondering how to use the Oracle Developer Reporting Control componant in Visual Basic 6.0 to generate reports in Oracle Reports? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Rohit,
Would like to ask you some questions about the oracle report with Visual Basic.
1. I have a report built in oracle report. Currently there is a Visual Basic program want to pass some parameter to this report. Can Visual Basic program pass the parameter to this oracel report?
2. Based on yr answer, do i have to installed the oracle report? or just copy and register the Rwsxa60.ocx (i'm using oracle report 6i) in the PC? So can i use this activeX control.
3. Is this activeX control similar to Crystal report object which can found in VB?
4. Is there an example/guide on how the Visual Basic pass the parameter to oracel form?
Your answer will be much appreciated.

Reports Requirements using R12 and Oracle 10g Reports

Hi All,
Looking forward to some valuable inputs to propose a technical solution in R12 using 10g Reports Developer.
Requirements are :
1. Report output should be in Excel Format. ( Is this possible without XML Publisher using 10g Reports only )
2. Report Parameters to have multi selection criteria. ( Is this possible in 10g Reports and Oracle Apps, Report Manager responsibility ?)
Regards,
Anand

>

Yes, Reports can create output in Excel - but XML Publisher offers better and easier options.

2. Report Parameters to have multi selection criteria. ...

Pl explain what you mean by multi selection criteria.

How to add a new font into Report Builder and Oracle Forms/Reports Server?

Hi,
I've searched the forum and can't find this being discussed.
My developers run Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on their XP laptops.
Their reports run (in production) on Oracle Forms/Reports Server 10.1.2.0.2.
This server runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
They've got a client who wants reports using the "Garamond Western" font.
So....how do I get this font onto the developer's Report Builder laptops, and onto the Oracle Forms/Reports Server?
I've moved various 'Garamond' fonts into C:\WINDOWS\FONTS on both the laptops and the server, but neither seem to recognize it.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks.
This answers 1/2 of my question.
The developer can now use Report Builder on his laptop, with the new fonts.
But when he moves this new Report to the Oracle Application Server/Forms-Reports Server, it fails to use the new fonts.
The Oracle App Server/Forms-Report Server is Version 10.1.2.0.2. It runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
I have installed the exact same fonts on this server, into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
I have used REGEDIT to change REPORTS_PATH....and placed C:\WINDOWS\Fonts; as the first value in this field.
I have then stopped and restarted the Forms-Reports Server.

Upgrade Oracle Forms/Reports from 6i to 11g

Hi you Oracle experts,
I'm considering to upgrade my Oracle Forms/Reports application from 6i to 11g.
However, I see dozens of separated server components on the download page in OTN.
Can anyone guide me what server/developer software components should I prepare to install ?
Also, please tell me the service dependency between the server components.
Thank you in advance.

It depends on which Machine you want to install. Its different for a developer and a Server.
For Forms and Reports, you can Weblogic server and install FMV with Forms and Reports builders.
For migration you can go through this link.

Oracle Matrix Report output to XML Publisher

We have an Oracle matrix report (rdf) registered in our applications and we are trying to format the report output using XML publisher.
I have taken XML output of the report by changing the Report output to XML in concurrent program definition. Using this XML output we have started designing the RTF template using Template Builder for Word 5.6.2.
I am not able to get the MAtrix output in XML publisher. I am not sure how to design a Matrix Report using Template builder for word. I am not sure whether the XML output of Original Report has Tags mentioning Matrix report attributes or Not.
Can anyone help me by explaining how to design a Matrix Report template using XML report output. Appreicate your help.

I have posted a Blog on our blog site about how to create a matrix report in XML-Publisher

Perhaps this helps.
