Hello,
Only Text Boilerplate can be rotated but you can reference a variable in a Boilerplate using a "lexical reference" :
ex:
if your SQL query is :
select ename from emp
Set the boilerpate text to :
&ename
to display the value of ename.
Of course, the boilerplate must be in the repeating frame having the SQL query group as source.

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.
Thanks.

Calling Oracle Developer Report from JDeveloper

I am using Orale JDeveloper 10.1.2. I can't seem to find a way of producing reports. I read that Oracle Reports developer can be integrated with Jdeveloper. How can I do this? I want to be able to generate reports from Jdeveloper.
Thanks.
Lucas

If you want the Reports integration inside JDeveloper - you need to install the Oracle Developer Suite - the JDeveloper version that comes there has the reports integration.

How to print report in Character mode using Oracle Developer 10g

Dear,
I migrate my forms and reports from Oracle Developer 6 to Oracle Developer reports 10g,
We are using some character mode report for bill printing. But when i run these report through menu on Web i got error message like
"REP-1920: Character mode runtime incompatible with DESFORMAT of PDF, HTML, HTMLCSS, SPREADSHEET or RTF"
i don't want to change the character mode to any other mode because it effects the printing.
so how can it possible to set the mode to character and view report on Web.
pls. suggest me solution.

You have to pass the PRT file name as value for the DESFORMAT and use mode= MODE=CHARACTER.
E.g.
http://<host name>:<port>/reports/rwservlet?desformat=dflt&mode=character&.....

Need Assistances Oracle Forms/Reports 6i

Hi,
I am new to Oracle developer can any one suggest me any Good book (Direct Path) for Oracle Developer / Reports 6i.
thanks in advance
Mujtaba

Dear Friend,
It is difficult to deploy all forms/reports as well as run-time executable in one click, but very much possible.
You need to invoke the Developer Suite 6i installation atleast twice (One for Forms and Net files, another for Reports).
However, you could bundle your forms/reports files by placing them within DevSuite6i folder and mentioning their path in the inventory file.
If you want a full silent installation in a single click, Use a third party package compiler and invoke those two installation steps in silent mode

Windows developed report hangs on Unix Reports server ??

Hi,
We recently migrated from a Windows BI tier to HP-UX Itanium. The problem I have is that one particular report just hangs in the Unix reports server. The basics of the report are that it has repeating frames which displays three record blocks per page. I use a formatting trigger on a derived field to alternate the background colour of the frames.
After making several modifications to the report I've discovered that the trigger to alternate the background colour is the issue. I can use the same field with a trigger to say conditionally display a field or hide another frame and that works ok. I can set the background of the frame to another colour and the report works fine.
As soon as I use a formatting trigger to change the background it hangs.
In terms of report development I'm stuck with only Windows as Report builder is not available for our platform so troubleshooting this is a tedious process.
Has anyone seen anything like this before ????
Cheers,
Ron

hello,
oracle reports has always had this dependency. it needs the x environemtn for rendering of the output. so you need an active xsession for the reports server to point DISPLAY to.
a possible work around is the use of a soft-terminal such as VNC or xvfb (see oracle9i application server release notes for details).

Oracle Developer hangs when starting...i'm desperate

On my workstation (Win2k P4 with 512MB RAM) i have first installed Oracle9i db (Personal Edition) in oracle_home OraHome92.
Thereafter i installed Oracle9iDS Release 2 in a separate oracle home IDSHome.
When installing Oracle products i have put IIS in disabled mode.
Now when i launch from the menu:
Oracle9i Developer Suite -> Reports Developer -> Reports Builder the Oracle9i Reports Developer splash screen launches but remains there without
getting the application.
I already re-installed on a fresh installed machine, but the result remains the same splash screen hangs!
Anyone an idea what goes wrong here?
Thanks.
Guy

1)In $OH\bin there is a file called oracle.key. Open it and see the entry there. The entry there should match the oracle home in registry ( HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\<yourHome> )
2)One more thing you can do is see whether there is any XML syntax error in $OH\reports\conf\rwbuilder.conf. That is see whether you have missed closing any tag. You can use an XML validating editor to see whether there are any errors. In you r case since this is a fresh installation this is unlikely, but you can just check
3)In HKLM\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\<yourHome>\
see whether REPORTS_TMP points to a valid directory.
Hope this helps
Thanks

How to avoid error while install oracle developer suite10g(forms & reports)

hi dear all in recent times i am trying to install oracle developer suite 10g to learn forms and reports in my lap having windows 7 ultimate version ,32 bit,2.56 GB of ram .I downloaded two files ds_windows_x86_101202_disk1 and ds_window_x86_101202_disk2 and i downloaded Oracle universal Installer but i am unable to complete installation process ,When i click on complete(1.11gb) version which include forms,reports,xml,j developer I am facing this type of error message
"Install has encountered an error while attempting to verify your virtual settings.please verify that the sum of the initial sizes of the paging files is at least 256 mb"
Could any one help how to avoid this type of error message ? or else is there any other way to download Oracle forms and reports version

Ok, Oracle Developer Suite (ODS) 10g (Forms/Reports) was not designed for Windows 7. In order to the ODS you must follow these steps for the installation to be successful.
1. You must set the Virtual Memory (VM) size. The Oracle installer can not read Windows Managed VM. See the Microsoft article Change the size of virtual memory for more information on setting the VM size.
2. The Oracle Installer does not recognize the internal version number of Windows 7, so you have to set the compatibility mode on the Setup.exe to Windows XP. Right-Click the SETUP.EXE and select properties. Then click the Compatibility Tab and in the Compatibility Mode area set this to "Run this program in compatibility mode" and select "Windows XP SP3".
3. You must run the ODS setup.exe as the Administrator. Right-click the setup.exe and select "Run as Administrator".
Having done these three steps, your installation should be successful.
Hope this helps,

Developing Report for Oracle Apps 11i

Hi,
I am developing Reports for Oracle 11.5.8 and using Reports 6i
Are there any good documents that can guide me to develop reports exclusively for Oracle Applications
I am customizing one of the report, did a very minor modification and when I run it, it shows small square boxes in the output.
If I print it, I dont see the small boxes, Can you let me know how to avaoid this.
Aslo have a couple of questions, should I use the option "use character units in designer" or something else while developing the reports
What shold be the unit of measurement (Inches, Centimeter or Points)
Lastly, is it a good idea to "View the Grid" or not in the "layout editor"
Thanks
Vasanth

Hi Vasanth,
when I run it, it shows small square boxes in the outputI can think of 2 posssibilities:
one, the width of the column in the layout is slightly smaller than required. You can try increasing the width of the layout objects where you see square boxes.
two, you are designing the report in a language for which support/font is not available on your development machine.
should I use the option "use character units in designer"This option should be used when you design a report in "character mode", not when you are designing the report in "bitmap mode". Pl see Builder Help for more information on MODE.
What shold be the unit of measurementIs it up to you to decide. If you know the dimensions of the paper (on which you are going to print) in inches for example, you can design the report in inches. Choose any unit of measurement, and then define the width and height of paper in the Header/Main/Trailer Sections in that particular unit. The report output will be the same whether you choose the paper width as 10 inches or 25.4 cm.
Also, about point...
Point: Is a printer's type size that makes up a pica. Each pica contains twelve points and is equivalent to one-sixth of an inch.
is it a good idea to "View the Grid" or not in the "layout editor"The grid is available to help you position objects in the viewing region of the paper layout. It is helpful so you can start designing with it, but you can decide to turn it off if you do not need it.
The grid is drawn in relationship to the rulers. In the Ruler Settings dialog box, you specify the interval at which grid lines appear per unit on the ruler. �For example, if you have a Unit of inches and a Grid Spacing of 0.5, there will be one grid line per half-inch on the ruler.
You get to the Ruller Settings dialog Box by choosing Tools > Options > Rulers.

Do Oracle Developer Suite contains Oracle AS with Forms and Reports?

Dear All,
I am having Oracle Developer Suite 10g.

Then do i need Oracle Application Server with Forms and Reports to deploy it?
Do Developer Suite contains Application Server with Forms and Reports?
How to test whether the report will run inside an application server?
If i am having Developer Suite and still do i need to install Oracle AS with Forms and Reports?
DO revert.
Thanks in advance.
-Sameer

Hi Sameer,
Q1 Iam having Oracle Developer Suite 10g.
Using that i can design and test Oracle reports.
Then do i need Oracle Application Server with Forms and Reports to deploy it?
Yes you need Oracle Application Server to deploy forms /reports.There are 2 types . One containing only forms and reports services
Two containing forms, reports services, portal and many
other product services.
So if you want to deploy only forms and reports then choose the first one
Q2 Do Developer Suite contains Application Server with Forms and Reports?
No. It contains a light component called OC4j. With this u can test the forms and reports in browser
Q3How to test whether the report will run inside an application server?
If you test it with developer suite, it should run fine with AS
Q4 If i am having Developer Suite and still do i need to install Oracle AS with Forms and Reports?
Pls note that Developer suite doesnt have any AS. And it has a light weight OC4J which is only for testing purpose. So u need to have AS for the deployment.
