Oracle Graphics

I use forms 6i release 2 and I want to embed a chart in a form.
The documentation tells me I need to include the og.pll library but it did not install and I can not find it on the install CD.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
Ian

It is on the Forms demo CD.

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

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.

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.
Eleonor

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

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

Drill Down Charts - Oracle Graphics

My understanding of drill down chart is when
you click on the particular chart element in the Master chart the Detail chart should show up.
But in my situation when I choose run from layout editor in oracle graphics, first the Master chart appears and then it automatically refreshes it with the Detail chart without user intervention. The Master
chart appears as a minimized window.
I am passing parameter between the Master chart and the detail chart.
Could anyone tell me how to solve this
and get the effect of drill down from
Master Chart to show up the Detail Chart Please ?
Thanks
Mohan

Hi Pradeep,
You can careate your own dirlldown chart reports like :
--Create a report using xtreem sample database
--Crate two groups like Country & Reagion and use Yearly sales in your charts
--Place a bar graph on your Country group footer and Region group footer.
--Use Hide(Drill Down Ok) option for region group footer and suppress all other empty sections.
--Now try to drill down through Country group to Region group.
You will have to go through only help documents on drill down options in Crystal.
You have to create a ODBC connection on server end also copy the xtreem database on your server to run you reports in infoview.
Yes Crystal Reports 2008 supports multi level drill down.
Thanks,
Sastry

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.

Oracle Graphics Builder in Oracle Developer Suite 10g

Dear All,
I would like to immigrate from Oracle Developer 6.0 to Oracle Developer Suite 10g for our company application. I had a design tool called as Graphics Builder in Developer 6.0 but What I see in Oracle Developer Suite 10g that this tool doesn't exist any more. I still need to use all Graphics of the company application.
Is Graphics Builder out of the Developer package of Oracle any more ? If yes, then how can I make the design of Graphics in Developer Suite ? Is it a seperate tool any more I should have next to Developer Suite 10g ?
I would be glad if experinced colleaques guide me on this ?
Many Thanks for your valuable helps,
Regards,
Meriç

Is Graphics Builder out of the Developer package of Oracle any more ?Yes, Oracle has discontinued the "Graphics Builder product. In order to include graphical charts in your 10g Form you will need to use the BI Graph Bean that is included in the <a href="http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html">Oracle Forms 11g Downloads</a> - Oracle Forms 11g Demo Pack. Download this .zip file and look at the *demos.html* document for instructions on how to use this Java Bean.
Hope this helps,

Problem with Oracle graphic display in forms 10g

I'm upgrading a form from 6i to 10g. The form displays a chart and so far I cannot get it working when I run it from developer 10g. I have tried both run_product and og.open. The og.open causes error FRM-40735: WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06508. Run_product doesn't cause the error but still nothing is displayed. Below is the code:
run_product(graphics,'c:\orant\bin\actact.ogd',synchronous,batch,filesystem,plist,'block3.chart_area4');
og.open('c:\orant\bin\actact.ogd','block3.chart_area4',TRUE,TRUE,plist);
How can I determine what is causing this problem? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Frank,
Where do I explicitly provide the tnsnames entry to Graphics?
We are using SSO when running Form, the db connect string are store in each user resource of OID, where resource type = OracleDB. Also Neither the existing form (calls the
*.ogd) nor *.ogd has tnsnames/db connect code.
As for the actual TNSNAME setup, we have local env var -TNS_ADMIN w/value of "D:\Oracle\MidTiers\network\admin".
That we want all three oracle homes: Infra10g, MidTier10g, Dev6i use the D:\Oracle\MidTiers\network\admin\tnsnames.ora, sqlnet.ora.
Apparently, Graphics in D:\Oracle\Dev6i doesn't pickup
the TNSNAME setting @ Midtiers
Can you give us some pointers on this? thank you in advance!!!
-Kan
