Oracle Report 6i with XML

Can I create an Oracle report definition programmatically using XML and to build up a report definition on the fly based on user input? If I can, could anyone tell me where I can find more information about HOW?
null

Yes. Please read chapter 7 of the Publishing Reports manual (shipped with 6i in PDF or HTML)

Report generation with XML

We already generate reports without OracleReporter. We build a xml file and based on this file we generate reports with the report-server. But these are very easy tabular reports.
Now we want to generate more complex reports (eg. matrix reports).
Is anybody out there who already made this by generating xml files? Maybe there is some ready to use code for solving our problem.
andreas

Hello,
Report is defined through a XML file. The format of XML definition follows : Reports.dtd in ORACLE_HOME/reports/dtd/
That means the data comes out of a XML file :XML Data can be treated as data source(reading data from xml file) is possiable through
Oracle Reports 9i feature XML Query. if you do not want to use ReportBuilder, You have to manually
write the XMLPDS portion in XML Report. Please make some XML Query report from Builder and try to
follow the same format while you write your XML Definition.

10g Reports issue with XML Data Source

Hi,
Has anybody ever encountered an issue with Oracle 10g report using an XML as the data source? What happens is, some of the values in the XML are printed to the wrong column.
One of the elements in our XML file is a complex type with 10 elements under it. The first 5 are picked up properly, but the last 6 are not. Elements #6 to #9 has a minimum occurence of 0. What happens is when element #6 is present, but #7 is, the value for element #7 is passed on to element #6.
The XSD and XSL files are both valid since the reports were working when we were still using 9i. There is no hidden logic in the report which might cause this issue to come up, i.e., the report just picks up the values from the XML and prints it to the appropriate columns.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Oracle Reports 10g with Weblogic Server 10.3

Hello every body
I have ADF web fusion application in JDeveloper 11, I builded by reports using Oracle Reports 10, also I'm Deploying my project to Weblogic Server 10.3
Now, How could I invoke my Reports from JDeveloper ?
1st: Can I deploy my Reports (JSP Report paper layout) to Weblogic 10.3 and How ?
2nd: How Could I pass parameters from my Application (Builded usingJjDeveloper 11) to my reports ?
Thank you very much

I'm not sure if Reports 10 is certified on WLS 10.3 - you might want to check with the Oracle Reports guys on the Reports forum (or with Oracle support).
That said - when Fusion Middleware 11g will come out you'll have a single platform that will run both your reports and your ADF application on the same server.
In terms of invoking your reports and passing parameters - you can just use the URL way as described in the publishing reports manual to activate the report on the report server.
Link it to your application with a goLink component.

Oracle Reports Integration with iPlanet Application/Web Server

Do any body know if we can integrate Oracle Reports with iPlanet Application Server or Web Server?

Theoretically yes, in Reports 6i there is either a CGI or servlet to set up, in 9i there is a servlet interface.
In practice through this is not simple, at least in the 9i case, and with Oracle 9iAS a reports server comes configured out of the box.

Oracle reports 11g with ADF weblogic

hi every body,
on our organization we have already weblogic with ADF support
we want to install oracle reports to our reporting issues
what you think using our already version of weblogic or using fresh weblogic is good
I want to figure which is the best choice so please help me
BR,
Alaa

Hi,
Yes Oracle forms and reports 11g needs weblogic to be installed first which creates a Middleware home .
Under that Middleware home you have to create a Forms & Reports home where in the respective binaries are installed.

Oracle Reports migration to XML Publisher 5.5.

Oracle Reports 6i with Oracle 8.1.7?

Solaris 7 (sparc)
Oracle RDBMS 8.1.7
Reports 6i (release 2)
I am trying to install Reports 6i on a machine that has Oracle RDBMS 8.1.7 installed already. The last time I tried installing to the same ORACLE_HOME it corrupted all my executables. After reading the docs again, I noticed the Reports docs say Reports requires Orcle 8.0.6. I thought it might be better to install to a new ORACLE_HOME (/u01/app/oracle/product/8.0.6), however, there is no RDBMS installed there and the installer complains.
Could someone offer some suggestions on how it should be installed in this type of environment. What steps should be followed to allow Oracle Reports 6i to co-exist peacefully on the same machine/ORACLE_HOME as the Oracle 8.1.7 instance.
Thanks

I found the answer myself in an earlier post.
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by The Oracle Reports Team:
Reports 6i will connect to Oracle8i, however you need to connect over Net8 - i.e. on the database side, you need to set up the TNS listener to accept connections, and on the Reports side (which, incidentally, needs to be installed in a separate Oracle_home) you need to configure the tnsnames.ora file to connect to the 'remote' database (since it is in a different oracle_home, to all intents and purposes it may as well be on another machine - it's all considered 'remote').

Oracle Reports integration with Sybase

Hi,
1) Does Oracle Reports support access to Sybase Database?
2) Is it posible to generate Adhoc reports through Oracle Reports Writer?
3) Is ii possible to execute stored procedures in database from Oracle Rreports?
Thanks in advance!

Keten
1)Yes, JDBCPDS feature in Reports 9i support access to Sybase Database. It allows to access different
data sources through JDBC-Drivers. JDBC Driver type "sybase-merant" can be used to access to Sybase Database.
Both SQL Query or Stored Procedure can be used to data source to create JDBC Query.
Please refer to the Online help of the reports Builder for JDBC query. You can also get more details from
"Builing reports" manual at http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/reports/content.html
3) Assuming you are refering to executing stored procedures in sybase database, JDBC query (JDBCPDS) can
be created against Stored Procedure on sybase database which return set of rows.
Thanks

Oracle Reports Integration with JDeveloper

Hi Gurus,
We have our Oracle Forms Applications 10g Release1 running on the Application Server 9.0.4.
I have understood that using oracle Forms Faces, the existing Forms can be brought into the J2EE Frame work developed using ADF Faces.
Now my question is that we have lots of Reports running on the Reports server using Oracle Reports. My question is that how can we integrate these Reports as it is in my J2EE environment without changing anything on my existing Reports.
Any help on this is very much appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,

Forms,
I don't really have a demo per se, but it's not so hard.
For example, say http://foo:7777/reports/whatever?param=foo&param2=bar is the URL. Simply put an af:goLink on your page and set its target to http://foo:7777/reports/whatever?param=#{an_el_expression_that_evaluates_to_the_parameter_value}&param2=#{ditto}
Just treat them like a web link.

Oracle Report show in XML Format

Hi to all
I designed one report in oracle EBS R12 and attach one XML Template for output.This report output show properly but when i add this report in Request Set then its output show in XML format instead of attach template.
If any member have its solution so plz send it.
Regards ,
Zulqarnain

Hi Zulqarnain,
You have missing some information.
1. First create report in Report Builder.
2. Generate report in XML format.
3. Now using BI Publisher import XML format report.
4. Add required columns in MS Word with Add in options.
5. Now Save MS File with format rtf.
6. Now using XML Publisher Administrator report add information regarding report information and upload rtf file.
Have enjoy
