Oracle Report.  Moving from NT to UNIX

We are transferring a small web enabled Oracle 9i application (Form 6 + Report 6) from NT to a UNIX Sun server.
The application runs, but the font being generated by Report has changed - larger and Bold - in parts of the reports. We were using Arial, various sizes. The changes are not consitent. Some sections of each report are OK. The problem relates to both text and data.
Any ideas ?

With some delving I have established that we need to be using the alias file UIFONT.ALI to define the font mapping.
Our Sun server does not include the Arial font. I have seen a number of references which highlight that Arial is NOT a good choice of font for an application which needs to be ported to UNIX. The recommendation seems to be MS Sans Serif on Windows, with a mapping to Helvetica on Motif.

  • Invoke oracle report 10g from database pl/sql package

    Hi
    Is there a way that i can invoke an oracle report 10g from the database pl/sql package? I am working on a requirement that needs to generate a report when one of the criteria is not met.
    Please suggest me on this.

    Thanks for the info.
    I have a scenario where i need to fetch members details like name , email address and so on from the mainframes on the oracle database. Then on the oracle database i need to check if they have a email address or not. If yes then i need to generate a notice and mail it to them. If they don't have an email address, i'll have to print that out in a some centralized location.
    By the way, the notice was developed using oracle reports 10g.
    Now i am developing a pl/sql package which will do the address validation but i didn't know how to call a oracle report to generate the notice in pl/sql procedure.
    As suggested i will try with dbms scheduler and see if that works for me.

  • Migrating to Oracle Reports 6i from Oracle Report 9i

    Hi all,
    We re-compiled original Forms & Reports 6i source code with Oracle 9i Forms & Reports.
    Forms are working really nice with almost no change at all with Oracle 9ias Forms services and Oracle 8i as db. The Oracle 9ias server is W2k. Will be upgrading to oracle 9i db in a short time.
    The only change we applied to forms source code was the function to call reports. We are using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() instead of RUN_PRODUCT.
    i.e. the URl is formed in all reports as
    http://ip_address:port/reports/rwservlet?DESTYPE=cache&DESFORMAT=PDF&userid=user/passwd@dbname&report=f:\web\formas\ametas\REP_DET_METAS_DPTO.REP&estrategia_par='08'&centro_par=249&depto_par=27100&anio_par=2003&TRIMESTRE_PAR=1
    At the beginning we used directly the 6i reports but they were running inconsistently, after several calls to reports they got stock and we did need to reboot report services.
    Then as a suggestion we re-build only two reports in reports 9i for testing. But same result when running in combination with 6i reports. Combination means, sometimes called 6i reports someothers reports in 9i.
    The reports run fine several times but inconsistently. What I mean is that they can be running normaly many times and suddenly the reports server sends this message
    REP-50002:Server is shutting down
    DBA reported this issue to our local support but they said configuration is ok.
    In other tests and only running 9i reports it seems not getting stock never, at least we run two 9i reports more than 40 times. So the problem seems to be when we run 9i reports in combination with 6i reports. We are planning to migrate all our reports but this mean to rebuild all reports again.
    Is someone facing this kind of problem?
    Or is this the only solution? Losting men/machine hours rebuilding the reports.
    Any suggestion for my DBA to check in configuration?

    Sorry for the confusion the subject for this issue should be

  • Crystal Reports Moved from one file server to another - very slow opening

    Hello,
    I am new here, and I am in need of a solution. If I am not in the correct forum, please advise.
    Our crystal reports were moved from an old file server to a new file server.  Once the old file server was shut down the reports opened very slow in Designer and in our 3rd party application.  Our server team determined that the reports are still attempting to connect to the old file server.  If the old file server is brought online or dns is changed to reflect another machine that it can make a connection to, it opens with no delay. 
    For some reason, not every report is affected.  Most of the reports are Crystal 8.5, but I have some Crystal XI reports that do the same thing.  I can't find any reference in the reports to any file server/location....
    I need to resolve this issue on the Crystal 8.5 version due to the application that we are running.
    Is there a way to fix this other than to recreate the reports (I have over 400 of them)?
    Any assistance or advice is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Nancy

    Hi Nancy,
    The server info still needs to be updated. Are you setting location for each subreport also?
    Possibly this registry key will help, I only have CR 2008 installed so you'll have adjust for what ever you are using:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions - VerifyStoredProceduresOnFirstRefresh = No
    and
    VerifyStoredProceduresOnSetLocation = No
    And
    VerifyWhenDBDriverUpgraded = No
    And
    ViewOutOfPlaceSubreports = No
    Close CR designer before making any changes. And the usual warning about modifying the registry.
    Thank you

  • How Do You Debug Oracle Report Calls From Forms On The App Server?

    I am working on a system which uses oracle forms and reports 10g.
    In our system we call, we are calling oracle reports from oracle forms. How do we debug the form code when the form and report both are running on the application server in production.
    To my knowledge, this can not be done when the form is running locally since there is only OC4J forms services locally.
    I understand one views error messages through the jinitiator console but how does one turn on this facility? How do you determine what line the error occurred?
    I am looking for step by step instructions as answer to this issue.
    Please be specific. Please write in good English.

    Good afternoon,
    If you have the developer suite installed on your PC, run the report from your form and then follow this tree from the start button on your PC:
    Developer Suite Home =>
    Reports Developer =>
    Oracle Application Server Report Services =>
    Reports Queue Manager
    Select View => Past Jobs and then find your report in the list, double-click the report entry and you'll see the error message that was generated by the Report Server when you tried to run the report.
    Good luck,
    Don.

  • How to execute oracle reports file from jsp using WL as an app server

    I plan to use jsp to accept IN parameters and later want to execute oracle

              client browser window. Is this possible in JSP + WL? If yes, can you
              provide some tips on the code?
              Thanks.
              

    Try
    sqlplus "sys/oracletest as sysdba" @bpk.sql
    Working locally, and having set the ORACLE_SID, you don't need to specify the SqlNet alias (@testdb).
    Remember to put an exit at the end of the bpk.sql script.

    Magoo is talking about a patch 23, and you are on 11. Maybe that's the difference?
    You can also try to upgrade just the Oracle 8 client (I assume Developer 2000 uses the 8 client). We did that to resolve some issues for Developer 6i on a 9i database.
    You need to get Oracle8 8.0.6.3.8 patch.

  • CRM SSRS Custom Reports - moving from one org to another

    Hi all,
    I have a development and UAT organisation on-premise (but same CRM organisation copied across). I want to copy my report from my dev environment to UAT. I have tried to 'Download' the report from dev and import it into UAT but I get 'RsProcessingAborted' report
    error when I try to run the report. It is working on the dev environment fine.
    Do I need to manually change some of the connection strings in the exported report? See below for exported report contents (some of it)
    <DataSources>
    <DataSource Name="DataSource1">
    <ConnectionProperties>
    <DataProvider>MSCRMFETCH</DataProvider>
    <ConnectString>https://server/organisation</ConnectString>
    </ConnectionProperties>
    <rd:SecurityType>DataBase</rd:SecurityType>
    <rd:DataSourceID>5b12dbd8-0505-43ca-bb35-959b6b9584ef</rd:DataSourceID>
    </DataSource>
    </DataSources>
    <DataSets>
    <DataSet Name="DataSet1">
    <Query>
    <DataSourceName>DataSource1</DataSourceName>
    <QueryParameters>
    ... etc
    Do I need to change this stuff manually and if so, what do I need to change? (or is there an easier way?). When I don't change anything, I get rsprocessingabored. I can run reports on the UAT when they are created in the UAT CRM organisation so i know the report
    server is working ok on both environments.
    Thanks,
    C

    Hi ColinMackers222,
    According to your description, you migrate the report from develop environment to UAT environment. When you run the report, you come across 'RsProcessingAborted' error.
    In your scenario, I suggest you migrate SSRS reports to another report server instead of copying the .rdl directly, you can use Reporting Services Migration Tool to achieve your goal. Or you can use rs.exe script to migrate the content to the new report
    server. For more information, please refer to the articles below:
    SQL Server Reporting Services: Migrating SSRS reports, data sources and subscriptions from one server
    to another
    Sample Reporting Services rs.exe Script to Migrate Content between Report Servers
    Regarding the 'RsProcessingAborted' error, it could cause by the stored credential can’t access datasource. You should check if the connection string for the report is correct, and make sure the specified stored credential can access the datasoure from the
    UAT environment. If issue persists, please provide detail error message for our analysis. For more information, please refer to this article:
    MSCRM and the dreaded rsProcessingAborted error.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • Report: Moved from 10.58 to 10.62 and Logic 9.1

    I held off as long as I could but then bit the bullet. I think my Magic Mouse was begging me to do it so I could enjoy the new scrolling features:)
    At any rate, been working all day today and Logic is behaving just fine. I am still getting some Disk Too Slow messages and beginning to wonder whether my record drive needs replacing (2 years in). But am happy to say that all appears to be well, and have also installed the new Pro Kit update.
    Whew!
    TH

    A few months back, I did the jump from Tiger and Logic 8 straight to the latest everything, Snow Leopard and Logic 9.. Of course I did a complete clone of my system first, and was not working on any important projects at the time so I too braced myself for everything to go haywire. But similarly to you, it went like clockwork, and it's all running way better than anticipated. So far I've had zero crashes in Logic, except from opening an older project from Logic 8 which had a movie in it, but I've gotten around that. Have worked on some very intensive projects (intensive at least for a MBP), using video, loads of sampler instruments, synths, plug ins, UAD2 laptop card.. and I have to say that so far it's feeling like the most stable combination of Logic and OSX that I've worked with in a while. I'm not exactly a flag-waving fanboy, just a seasoned pro user, so it's been a pleasant surprise to have a pretty reliable DAW to work with. I decided to bypass Leopard because we have it on the computers at the studio, and the Logic 8 + OSX 10.5x combo was giving us several crashes a day, plus weird display issues in the finder (strange grey bars in finder windows), and just a whole lot of general flakiness. So I'm glad I decided to skip that one and go straight to where I am now.
    Btw, not bothering with 64bit as it's not of any use on my MBP. Suits me fine, by the time I get a bigger machine with enough RAM to make 64bit worthwhile, the waters should have settled down a little on that front.
    Are you still running smoothly a few days into it?
