Difference between deploying oracle report in RDF format and REP format

Hi All,
Good Day!!!
We are frequently encountering report failures in our production environment with the error message "REP-1247: There exist uncompiled program unit(s)"
But the report executes successfully in the next try and the issue is intermittant. In production the reports are deployed in RDF format.
So in our test environment we tried of deploying the reports in REP foramat and we cant find any errors.
Is there Difference in deploying oracle report in RDF format and REP format?
Is there any diffence in execution?
Your inputs will be much appreciated!!!
Thanks in Advance,
JK

Hi,
REP is to RDF what FMX is to FMB, MMX is to MMB, etc.
Only difference here is that if you deploy RDF, not REP, then the RDF is compiled at runtime by Reports Engine and then executed. In other words, if REP is deployed then it is straightway execute.
That should explain all your observations.
Cheers.
PS: Please post Oracle Report queries on {forum:id=84} forum.

Oracle Reports 6i Delimied Format and Carriage Returns

Hi
I'm using Oracle Reports 6i to generate a report to a text file using delimited format so I can read it in Excel. I've done some testing putting some information in the layout but it seems that all my data is generated in one line. It does not generate the carriage return for the multiple rows I need. Is this standard functionality?. If so, that means I have to generate the file using PL/SQL to get the control I want?

Whew...lot's of questions...let's see if I can help (at least a little)...
1. Quite possibly, the user is/was pulling the image from the database? I do this in my environment, so it might be worth a look.
2. You should be able to print in any format from the web. You may need to adjust your destype/desname/desname parameters.
3. Only thing I can think of here is that maybe the original report was not written using a standard web-friendly font?
4. There's a couple of ways you can get data into an excel file:
A. Use DDE and poke the data right into it (messy when you need to print the regular Oracle report too).
B. Add an option to print to file and set the desformat to DELIMITEDDATA. Be sure to go through the data model and set Exclude from XML Output to 'Yes' for fields you don't need. Also, be aware that this may not come out in the same order as they do on the printed report. You can read about this on Metalink.
Hopefully that helps you a little bit. :)

Oracle Report vs JSP efficiency and Excel XML in Web Source Questions

I have used Oracle Reports in the past 6i, but haven't used them in about 4 years. We are now using 9.0.4 reports and I am trying to generate Excel XML from an Oracle report by manipulating the web source of the report. Basically copying and pasting the Excel XML into the web source of the Oracle Report instead of html as suggested by this Metalink Doc ID 240819.1. I do have a JSP working example that generates Excel XML created in JDeveloper and successfully spawns off a very nice looking Excel spreadsheet.
However, a statement was made here by our app sever guy that an Oracle Report is more efficient at getting data from the database than a JSP. The app sever section does not want anyone using JSPs to generate a report of any kind. I guess small web pages are OK since our java guys use them all the time. This rule for a Reports only environment seems a little restrictive to me. Is there any truth to the statement that Oracle Reports bulk collects data in one chunk as opposed to a JSP making multiple trips to the database from the middle tier?
Secondly, if an Oracle Report is more efficient in the way that it collects large record sets from the db, and if I save an Oracle Report as a JSP not an rdf, and use the reports_tld.jar with the rw tags instead of the typical jsp jstl tags, will I still get the same improvement from using an Oracle report? I guess the improvement is in the library used correct?
Thirdly, although not part of this forum, I also am assuming that if we have single sign on that when I call a JSP from an Oracle Form I will not have to log in again correct?
Thanks...

It could be the configuration issue. Reconfigure the engine.

Oracle reports not supporting WCHAR and WVARCHAR

I have been using Oracle Reports Builder 10g (Report Builder 9.0.4.0.33) to test against an ODBC backend database via the provided jdbc-odbc bridge, this has been working well but recently the server backend changed to be UTF-8 compatible and as a result now returns the WCHAR and WVARCHAR types (ODBC types -8 and -9). These cause an error in the Report Designer
REP-0069 Internal Error
JDBCPDS-62013: The column type WCHAR used in the query/procedure is not supported by Reports JDBC Query.
I have my NLS_LANG and DEVELOPER_NLS_LANG set to ENGLISH_UNITED KINGDOM.UTF8.
Is there any way to enable the support for WCHAR/WVARCHAR in the Reports Builder?
Regards,
Adam.

Is this a problem with one type of report? Does a simple test report created in the builder work ok?
How are you running the report? From a URL or from Forms?
Is there any error showing in the ?/reports/logs or in the ?/opmn/logs (either in the report server log or in the OC4J)?
Can you run the report using rwrun?

How can i invoke an Oracle Report w/in a Java application?

I have a custom java application that I would like to integrate with a report tool. I am reviewing Oracle Reports but I was not sure how I would integrate an Oracle Report.
I have read that I can use Active-X but. Has anyone ever done this? Also - is there any support for a java bean?
I am also wondering how I could pass in report parameters.
It is my understanding that Oracle will generate either pdf or html output which could be viewed through the browser or adobe acrobat reader.
Is this correct?
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.

Bonnie,
I create a URL that calls Oracle Reports Server running under IAS, using PDF or html as the output. The Java code calls up the commandline and starts the default browser with the specified URL, which then talks to Oracle Reports Server... and voila... the report shows up in your browser!
have fun...
void execURL ( String pURL )
System.out.println(pURL);
if (System.getProperty("os.name").equals("Windows NT") )
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start "+pURL);
catch (Exception e1) {System.out.println(e1.getMessage()); }
else
try
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("start "+pURL);
catch (Exception e2) {System.out.println(e2.getMessage());}

Oracle Reports in PDF output

Hi everyone ,
We are using Oracle 11g.
I have a custom Oracle report in PDF output. In some cases the value is changed. For example, when i run a query in toad i get a value 0.13, then I run my report, check the XML output - the value is still 0.13....but when I check the report output that is in the PDF format, the value is changed to 0.14. Do you have any ideas why it happens? Do I need a special coad in the rtf tag?
Thank you

What command did you type in to run your report in Unix? Did you give the full path of your rdf file. I guess that the system may not be find your rdf file correctly.

Oracle report or crystal report ?

hello,
I am in the process of choosing a reporting tool to access an oracle database, I end up with two tools , oracle report and crystal report.
i hear that oracle report is too complicated and is not flexible.
Is that true, i need some advisement
thanks

"too complicated" == "more powerful or I don't understand why it needs all that stuff... till later when I need it and don't have it"
"not flexible" == "I don't know how to do it in that tool"
grin. Although I must admit that there are things in Reports that I struggle over that are SOOOOO easy in Crystal Reports or MS Access(reports). But the reverse is also true.
Look particularly at the reports server 6i capabilities...to be fair, I haven't tried to accomplish the same sort of things with dynamic access reports or Crystal Reports ( see definition two above and apply it to me ).

Working with Oracle Reports

I got oracle reports APEX integration working like the how to, and even got the SSO to work, but here are some issues I'm having.
1) Using ODM is a nightmare, not fun at all. I would like to use databse usernames/passwords, not separate LDAP.
2) when you specify the SSO connection, you ahve to hard code it for everyone.
I was wondering if anyone was able to use Oracle Reports without using SSO, and not specifying username/password in the URL. Maybe, configuring Reports to use the DAD?
Anyone have any luck with this?
Thanks,
Scott

Wow, searching for stuff about integrating oracle reports is a nightmare, I think I found the approach I am going to use, editing the cgicmd.dat file for now. Until, we convert our entire application to a SSO with enterprise level accounts, it's probably going to be using this.
MY question is this, I was hoping to mask the URLs, thought embedding the report as a URL region in ApEx, but that didn't seem to work at all. Is it possible to use a PDF as a URL region? When I used the report I got something like teh following:
%PDF-1.4 1 0 obj << /Creator (Oracle9iAS Reports Services) /CreationDate (D:20070313125453) /ModDate (D:20070313125453) /Producer (Oracle PDF driver) /Title () /Author (Oracle Reports) >> endobj 5 0 obj <> stream Gat=->Ar7S'RgRSs$0s/huU7'4/KS9Ngb96CtDRJok?)m\+Sl1XfZF,^E9Wl-'>Lb!i]Stn2lEg I]1HLoRtV&KIJ$c`%WUB:/B0l6GQ)&K&YhTal$b)o]PN0n)$D#fBGjRl+b=l#cfP/_\#TCQhq([ eW/H(4FlVDPKUff6L&!0&P+BZ8;;p/T`>@j1C=o,22h2/Jktt+>'$Gf;k!nc'fWsoS6^"6WV8`p RN(t1"i9k$SEc(BLGphdT@UgEDT\$q9:m-8I-`(!18MlWqF$&UOUA&No$qos#P6d#H3Z\e1K4MW asZsir?pJHU2VO3MI9\f#=42H97A\u9/L]`M0bP5%02M=X]kc.km/Y2!,N^2J?k1<&tj06EIV9.

Upgrade from OAS to weblogic server - Oracle reports impact

Hi Team,
We have quite lot reports are created in oracle reports 10g and used in production environment. We have plan to upgrade systems and i would like to know the impact in reports which are created using oracle reports 10g.
Currently, we are using
Oracle Database 10g
Oracle reports 10g
OAS 10g
and we are planning to migrate to
Oracle Database 11g
OAS -- > Weblogic application server.
Will my existing reports work in weblogic application server without any change? OR Do i need to change the existing reports.
Could somebody help me on this.
Thanks,
iqbal.

Let me tell you, brother, it can be a real headache, starting with the upgrade process.
For example, I've Got x86 Solaris running on an old Dell box. Created a Boot Environment for my existing setup.
Now I'm trying to clone the Boot Environment so that I can do the Live Upgrade. However I'm getting an error when I use the lucreate command.

I presume I need to get a slice ready for the utility because the utility is not smart enough to really do any slicing itself.
Any ideas?

How to open new window and generate oracle report from apex

Hi,
I had created an application that generates PDF files using Oracle Reports, following this Guide.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html
And I followed 'Advanced Technique', so that users can't generate PDF file by changing URL and parameters. This is done for security reasons.
But in this tutorial, when 'Go' button is pressed, the PDF file is displayed on the same window of apex application. If so, user might close the window by mistake. In order to avoid this, another window have to be opened.
So, I put this code in the BRANCH - URL Target. (Note that this is not in Optional URL Redirect in the button property, but the branch which is called by the button.)
javascript:popupURL('&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.')
But if the button is pressed, I get this error.
ERR-1777: Page 2100 provided no page to branch to. Please report this error to your application administrator.
Restart Application
If I put the code 'javascritpt ....' in the Optional URL Redirect, another window opens successfully, but the Process to generate report job is not executed.
Does anyone know how to open new window from the Branch in this case?

G'day Shohei,
Try putting your javascript into your plsql process using the htp.p(); procedure.
For example, something along these lines should do it:
BEGIN
-- Your other process code goes here...
htp.p('<script type="javascript/text">');
htp.p('popupURL("&REPORTS_URL.quotation&P2100_REP_JOB_ID.")');
htp.p('</script>');
END;
What happens is the javascript is browser based whereas your plsql process is server based and so if you put the javascript into your button item Optional URL Redirect it is executed prior to getting to the page plsql process and therefore it will never execute the process. When you have it in your branch which normally follows the processes, control has been handed to the server and the javascript cannot be executed and so your page throws the error "Page 2100 provided no page to branch to"... By "seeding" the plsql process with the embedded javascript in the htp.p() procedure you can achieve the desired result. You could also have it as a separate process also as long as it is sequenced correctly to follow your other process.
HTH
Cheers,
Mike
