Oracle Graphics: OG Built-Ins

What is the OG Built-In to Hide/Show the Data Value Labels the appear above each bar of the bar chart ?
I do not mean the X-Axis labels.
I mean the numeric values that appear above the bars of the bar chart.

If you created the bar chart in reports 9i, you can disable/enable "Show data labels on bars" of plot area panel in the graph wizard to hide/show the label.

Need a doc for all the oracle built-ins

hai, wouldn't it be great if we had a single document tht listed the syntax and examples of all the built-ins by oracle (forms & reports). do we have a document like tht ? just a suggestion.
thx and regards, rehan.

Hi Rehan,
Again, apologies for the delay in responding to you.
The Application Server 10g documentation page lists a specific Documentation library entitled "Oracle Application Server 10g Forms and Reports Services Online Documentation Library 10g (9.0.4)". You can view this library at: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B13597_02/index.htm

Mapping of Obsolete Built-ins (6i) to Forms 9i

Hello,
I would like to have a chart provinding me the mapping of Oracle Forms 6i Obsolete built-ins/functionalities which can be achieved using the new version of Forms 9i (iDS Rel.2).
Thanks and Warm Regards,
Shivanand Koppalkar

Hello Mr. Duncan Mills,
Our Process is as follows:
We have a Application developed in Forms4.5 / Reports2.5. The Modules are generated through the Designer 1.3.
So, our upgrade path is from 1.3 Designer migration path to 9i Designer upgrade and then generation of modules from Designer to get the generated 9i form.
In this case, Designer generation should include the process of Form migration, however we need to give the time estimate to the client for this process and should also check that we are not missing any functionality or any standard violation from the clients perspective.
Thats the reason why we need a kind of Xcelsheet which gives us a mapping of Forms6i --> Forms 9i and also would like to know whether Designer 9i takes care of this or not.
Again, thanks Duncan for all your help.
Thanks and Warm regards,
Shivanand Koppalkar

Oracle Graphics Developr's guide/manual

Hi,
I'm looking for a documentation for Oracle Graphics. It's a dessuporrted tool now but we are currently on a platform that is still compatible with the Graphics Builder, and we have a current requirement to include a chart on an existing report (created using Report Builder 6i)
I managed to located a document which contains what I'm looking for on link http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/forms.html ; document A32482–2.PDF- Graphics 2.5 Developer's Guide but it has some formatting issues within the pages, please have a look (eg. page175-176, 239-240, 33-34-38 just to name a few) - especially those with graphics are the main concern.
I've logged an SR to Oracle; they said it is a documentation bug and at present there is no other available alternative. They've suggested a workaround of copy-pasting the entire document to Word and manually removing the extra spaces, but it is still is not quite that workable after I tried it. They've also suggested that I try my luck here on the forums, I hope get more lucky here.
if anybody has another (properly formatted) copy or another document/developer's guide/manual for Oracle Graphics, at least 2.5 version, I would much greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Hi Srini,
Wow! Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I have previously seen the document you have mentioned (A73075_01.PDF) but it is more of a library of the built-in subprograms, properties, attributes etc., available on the graphics builder. What I am looking looking for is a guide or tutorial of how-to's in Graphics builder. I've had experience on how to use Graphics builder but it before but it has been way way back in the past (goodness when!) I just need a guide/refresher on how to use it. Thanks!
Kind regards
Eleonor

How to add Oracle Graphics 6i charts (OGD) to my Oracle Reports 10g

Hi,
Is there any possibility to add Oracle Graphics 6i Charts (.OGD) to Oracle Reports 10g
(OR)
If not possible, Can you please provide steps to migrate OGD to any format that is supported in Oracle Reports 10g.
Regards,
Swethan

Oracle Graphics and its OGD image format are no longer supported. Reports built with previous versions of Oracle Reports containing Oracle Graphics charts will continue to run in Oracle Reports 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) if the Oracle Graphics 6i runtime is installed on the same machine in a separate ORACLE_HOME. However, this is not a supported configuration, and Oracle will not fix bugs that result from this configuration.

Changing legend labels in Oracle Graphics 6

Hello,
i am currently using Oracle Graphics to create barcharts for my reports. My problem is, that i want to change the label used for the shown bars via a parameter. Changing the labels of the X- and Y- axis is no problem with PL/SQL but it seems that the only way to change the legend labels is by using "AS" in the query (e.g. select a_column as LABEL from ...). I really need to change it by parameter.
thx for any help.

Nym,
The only way that I've been able to control the name of a label in regards to graphing is to use the Variable Editor and create a variable off of the column, for instance:
The name of the column from the database is call "Black_Catalog". so I create a variable called "The Black Catalog" and in the formula: =[Black_Catalog]
Then in the graph I replace the field that is called =[Black_Catalog] with my new field. When the legen displays it will show "The Black Catalog".

Calling 6i reports containg oracle graphics in ias 10.1.2.0.2

Hi,
i'm having troubles calling a report containing an oracle graphics chart.
i'm using ias 10.1.2.0.2 and the corresponding forms tools. and the ias 1.0.2.2.2a isuite server.
Compiling and running the forms is not a problem and neither is caling ordinary reports. i.e reports not containing any oracle graphics. So i'm confident that my server setup is correct.
When i'm calling reports containing oracle graphics charts the reports simply hangs.
Consulting the ias server reports queue i can see that status is 'running the report, now executing pre-form trigger' and that's it. status never changes and the report never finishes.
In my ias 101202 home i've set the following environment variables:
ORACLE_GRAPHICS6I_HOME -> E:\oracle\806 which is where my oracle graphics is installed
GRAPHICS60_PATH -> e:\mastra\rep which is where i store my reports and oracle graphics charts
I keep both the .rdf file and the compiled .rep in the e:\mastra\rep directory.
Strange thing is that if i don't include the full path to the oracle graphics component in the report it's not able to find it at runtime. I can see in the reports status screen it complains about not being able to fond the chart.
what parameter should i set so i don't have to hard code the path to the graphics chart?
If i include the full path to the chart it probably finds it because it doesn't complain but now it hangs telling me that it's running the preform trigger. and then nothing happens.
please help me cause im stuck here.
thanks for any input.

Hi Frank,
Our reports are all called from Forms...using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT in the 10g environment. We have hundreds of reports (6i based) that all work fine when run on the 10g app server. The only ones that fail to complete are those that have Graphics embedded. Yet they work just fine when run Client/Server under 6i. On the 10g app server they just run forever/get hung.
If I launch Graphic 6i Builder on the 10g App Server box, I can connect to the database without any problems. And Graphics 6i do run just fine from my 10g forms (converted from 6i Forms) on the App Server. NOTE: My Graphics 6i uses the same tnsmanes.ora and sqlnet.ora that my App Server uses (via a TNS_ADMIN setting in the Windows registry)
Is there something extra special I need to do in the report itself?
Thanks,
John

Oracle Graphics problem

When I run a graphics report in preview mode, the pie chart color slices are correct. When I run the same graphic report to a pdf file, the pie chart colors are not correct.
I opened a TAR and they referred me to a bug# that dosen't exist.
Please help. Jim 202-616-4510.

believe me, oracle graphics is not good to right tool to create a grpah. I had many problems using the tools. Oracle Graphics is really primitive and needs a lot of improvment. every time i have a problem with the tool, i contact Oracle support and they come back with the bug soultion. Any way, a new version of graphics should be out with the next few months, hope it is better than what we have

Oracle Graphics Problem on 3 tier

Hi!,
We have a web based ERP system. I have developed a system which calls oracle graphics from forms 6i. I am facing following problems:
1) When I am using RUN_PRODUCT to call graphics it does not show anything
(not giving any error also) & when I am using OG.OPEN to call graphics it show
the charts but with same color of all pie slies and bars on 3 tier.
2) I have used "User Area" in a map to to call reports on mouse click. There is no effect of mouse click on 3 tier.
However, both works fine on 2 tier.
Can anyone help me to solve the problem?
Thanks & Ragards

The following source is for Forms 9i but also contains hints and tips that are true for Forms and Graphics 6i. Ignore the installation and configuration section because it is Forms 9i related only.

Oracle graphics-- Urgent!

Hi
1. How can I pass a parameter to a form from graphics. The
buttonproc of symbol of the line chart should contain the code.
the parameters are the X and Y axis values.
I'm not able to get the x and Y value for the point.
2. Can I embed a report in a oracle graphics.ie THe report
should be displayed below the chart item.
Thank you
null

Hello,
1. In the DRILL_DOWN tab page of the chart element property
window, there is an option of setting the value of a parameter to
the value of the chart element. Or you can write a procedure for
the chart element to set values of parameters within the graph.
You will have to use OG pll to retrieve the values of these
parameters.
2. You will have to embed the graph in a report if you want to
see report data below a chart.

Any Alternate to use ORACLE GRAPHIC BUILDER through Reports

Hello ,
After long research some option of creating complex graphs does not serve my problem like BI GRAPHS . I want to create graph in such a way that for example I have one view in which trainno, station no, scheduled time and departure time are stored. I want to display a line graph for same train schedul and depart wise. Now I try to create line graph in oracle 10g, there only one single line is displayed for two groups scheduled time and departure time and that also not sorting properly.
In previous of oracle , Graphic builder had good option of creating field templates like line and attaching to line chart. So it there are two groups (Sched and departure time) , than line with different colour use to display separately for both. Now I don't find any way in oracle 10g to plot such type of Graph.
If anybody has option or way than please give suggestion.
Regards,
Prashant

I am not an expert on chart builder, so I don't know how you would access the model and get at the image files.
However, if you have a URL that points to an image generated by the chart builder, you can use the <image> element to display it.
It sounds like to produce these image files, you need to write some application logic. The correct place to put this application logic is probably in a subclass of a struts DataAction.

Symbol In Oracle Graphics

Hi
I am using Oracle Developer 6i. I created a chart in Oracle graphics and linked it with my forms & reports.
I used a Symbol in my chart.
In case of reports, the preview of the report containing chart comes absolutely perfect. But when i print it out, some times it comes very good, some times the SYMBOL is not printed wholly, it cuts a bit and sometimes the mark totally lost. But remeber the preview of all the cases comes PERFECTLY WELL.
Please somebody help me out

Migrating forms to 11g - problems with absolete built-ins

Sorry if it's the wrong section, but nerves are kicking in and I'm lost.
I've been trying to migrate an old, probably 8i database with its tools and forms into 11g. All software seems to run fine, but when I try to run the forms I either get "this form was made using an old forms builder" error, or worse - some enigmatic FRM and ORA (exception 6508) errors apparently connected to lack of some procedure called in the form triggers.
Now you'd probably say "just recompile those forms". But I can't - I get tons of compilation errors, mostly comming in from absolete built-ins or trying to select from system views. That happens when trying to recompile libraries referenced by those forms, which is probably why i get those procedure lacking errors.
Since the ammount and nature of those overwhelmed me I tried using Forms Migration Assistant...talk about betting on the wrong horse. First I had to change the 'start in' property of the assitants shortcut to where i stored the forms/libraries or else it kept throwing the libs out of said forms. Then I got a bundle of pld files and the most important libraries unchanged, with no mention of any problem in the assistants log. Needless to say my forms still get those procedure lack errors.
I'm pretty sure I can somehow handle correcting the forms if the libraries were ok, but I just can't cope with those problems:
-what to do about system view selects in triggers and library procedures? The compiler just treats them as unknown identifiers. I had the same problem elsewhere and it was about privileges, but this time I can't identify the user from whom those privs are read (in fact, isn't it whoever is using the form at the time?) so far I've noticed it try to use dba_users and dba_roles
-what to do to correct a library (which can have dependencies on other libraries) to be compatible or at least compile'able with the new Forms Builder without spending a year on it all?
I've tried applying changes mentionned in the assistants log (like changing RUN_PRODUCT calls to RP2RRO.RP2RRO_RUN_PRODUCT), but it didn't do any good

Well for me the forms were ok to open with 11g, just had to correct differences and recompile to run.
That there script is a ton of help!..well you forgot to mention the Output_File parameter, but I could find that myself now that I knew what to look at. Now if I could also set it not to produce .err files when everything went fine and to set the output names so that the old compiled forms get overwritten..
the SRW.* calls turned out to be things used in Reports, so it was hopeless to compile in forms..but also not needed
as for ENABLE_ITEM and DISABLE_ITEM I found these to use as their definitions in a library, that proved sufficient.
procedure enable_item
( p_menuName in varchar2
, p_menuItemName in varchar2
) is
v_menuItem menuitem;
begin
v_menuItem := find_menu_item(p_menuName||'.'||
p_menuItemName);
if (not id_null(v_menuItem))
and (get_menu_item_property(v_menuItem,visible) = 'TRUE')
then
set_menu_item_property(v_menuItem, enabled, property_true);
end if;
end;
procedure disable_item
( p_menuName in varchar2
, p_menuItemName in varchar2
) is
v_menuItem menuitem;
begin
v_menuItem := find_menu_item(p_menuName||'.'||
p_menuItemName);
if (not id_null(v_menuItem))
and (get_menu_item_property(v_menuItem,visible) = 'TRUE')
then
set_menu_item_property(v_menuItem, enabled, property_false);
end if;
end;Some forms still playing with me, but the compilation issues there don't seem to be connected with this topic..and now I got issues with reports >.< but that requires a topic elsewhere. Thanks all!
