I'd suggest posing this question on the Reports forum here on OTN. I don't believe there's anything ODBC-related at work here.

Adarsh,
This needs to be in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent depending upon what Unix system you are on). If this file is not part of your installation, then you need to reinstall the product as your installation directory is incomplete.

Oracle report writer installation

We have installed Oracle 10g in our server. How we can install Oracle Report into our server. I do not know whether we have Oracle Report installed already along with 10g. If we do, how we can find out through unix? How we can bring it up through Unix. Please help

Oracle Reports with Oracle Financials (FMIS)

Hi folks,
I'm in a bit of a bind at the moment. I really really need a little help getting an understanding of Oracle Report Writer. The situation is as follows:
I'm currently working on a system that moves data from an SQL Server 7.0 Database into some Oracle Financials (FMIS) Interface Tables. The Interface tables are apparently used to post Customer and Invoicing information into the real Oracle Financials tables, for Invoicing and General Ledger purposes.
Its come to my understanding that Oracle ReportWriter is no longer available on the market today? Is this true? The reason why I ask is, my client is tossing with the idea of using Oracle ReportWriter over Crystal Reports.
The only thing that I have heard is that Oracle Report Writer is a much more powerful tool than Crystal Reports. So I guess the main question would be, is Report Writer a more powerful and easy to use application over other report writing tools?
Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.

Vick,
I believe it is all in the name. Oracle ReportWriter is long gone; however it has evolved to Oracle Reports which is going strong. The current version is Oracle Reports 6i and has been out for more than a year. It was preceeded by Oracle Reports 6.0, 3.0, 2.5, 2.0 and finally ReportWriter1.1,.... The Early versions were packaged in various bundles with our other tools.
Oracle Reports is a very powerful reporting tools and stacks up very well against Crystal. One big advantage is that we work extremely well against an Oracle Database (no external drivers to go through). We also run on a greater variety of machines including Unix. We provide XML output and integration with our other BI tools, Discoverer and Express as well as Oracle Portal. Reports can be deployed over the web using standard CGI/Servlet technology. I don't have room to mention all the advantages, but click on this link to our OTN website for a high level overview Reports 6i. http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/pdf/iasreports.pdf
Other documentation is also available to show you the power of Oracle Reports 6i.

Hai
I am using Oracle report writer 1.1/ database oracle 7.3.4 I want to migrate it to report writer 6i.
what is the procedure? Please help me soon

Hi,
This forum is for the Migration Workbench only. This tool is used for migrations from the following list of database servers to Oracle:
DB2\400 V3R5 and V4R5
DB2 UDB 6 and 7

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

How Can I Write ‰ in Oracle Reports

I want to write ‰ symbol in oracle reports. Not the % sysmbol. Is it possible ? Thanks for any help
Edited by: barisist on Apr 11, 2013 5:06 AM

That depends on your NLS parameter settings. E.g. the per mille sign cannot be displayed in WE8ISO8859P1.
I don't know much about NLS parameters, but I do know that I can't display it either in my Oracle client programs (including Reports).
Added:
It doesn't work in Reports 6i, but it works in Reports 10g (WE8MSWIN1252 by default). Try this:
select chr(137) per_mille from dual;

How to write REF-CURSOR Query in Oracle Reports

Hello Guys!!
I have a form in which you can select regions/divisions/locations etc by the use of check boxes. And the selected values will be inserted into a table, and based on the selected values of the table the report is run.
The issue I have is with the query inside the Oracle reports(attached to this file).
The query works fine until the last two EXISTS conditions.
IF a region exists In the table report_param then it works fine but if there are no divisions in it , then the query returns no values, which is not correct.
Someone has advised me to use a ref-cursor query inside reports tool, which I am not aware off. So, anykind of suggestions or advises are welcome. Please let me know about it as it is very urgent issue for me. Anykind of help would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks,
Vishal

I need your help to create a report using Ref-Cursor. please see the below thread

Grouping in rtf template like oracle reports - a newbie question

Hello all
I am new to BI Publisher and have probablly a silly question to ask.
I have a basic query that returns a flat xml file which looks something like this. it will have multiple rows.
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<DATE>01-DEC-2007</DATE>
<PACKAGE>XXX </PACKAGE>
<DROP_OFF>Hotel1</DROP_OFF>
<ROOM>1</ROOM>
<NAME>Test Customer</NAME>
<PROBLEM_RECORDED>N</PROBLEM_RECORDED>
<EXCEPTION>1</EXCEPTION>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
Because i am fairly new to xml i am at a loss trying to work out how i can form a template that will effectively allow grouping at say
1. Date Level
2. Package Level
3.Drop Off level
4. put all other data in here
In reports i would just do groups and alter the layout accordingly. Obviously if i had an oracle report version of the sql that generates the xml then i could just generate the xml from the report and i would get the xml i am looking for .
But I am working with basic sql not reports and am wondering What do I have to do with my xml to get it looking live the grouping I mention above, given all i have to play with is the example xml I included. I am really bamboozled and think i am missing something simple.
I dont want to have to write multiple queries with different groupings using cast , multiset as I thought one of the benefits of BI Publisher was one query multiple layouts.
Thanks
Lisa

If you haev word plugin installed,
please follow the documentation and try using that,
load the xml in the word plugin
and then select insert table/form and then you can do the drag and drop,
and group by each fields.

Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?

Hi ,
Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?
If yes please give some examples .
Thanx
srini

I believe the built-in package SRW.Do_Sql is what you are looking for
Example from the document:
/* Suppose you want to create a "table of contents" by getting the
** first character of a columns value, and page number on which its
** field fires to print. Assume that you want to put the "table of
contents"
** into a table named SHIP. You could write the following construct:
DECLARE
PAGE_NO NUMBER;
PAGE_FOR INDEX NUMBER;
SORT_CHAR CHAR(1);
CMD_LINE CHAR(200);
BEGIN
SORT_CHAR := :SORT_NAME ;
IF :CALLED = Y THEN
     SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_FOR_INDEX);
     SRW.USER_EXIT(RWECOP PAGE_FOR_INDEX
     P_START_PAGENO);
     SRW.MESSAGE(2,TO_CHAR(:P_START_PAGENO));
END IF;
SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_NO);
CMD_LINE := INSERT INTO SHIP VALUES
                      (||SORT_CHAR||,||TO_CHAR(PAGE_NO)||);
SRW.MESSAGE(2,CMD_LINE);
SRW.DO_SQL(CMD_LINE);
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX THEN
        NULL;
WHEN SRW.DO_SQL_FAILURE THEN
        SRW.MESSAGE(1,FAILED TO INSERT ROW INTO SHIP TABLE);
WHEN OTHERS THEN
       COMMIT;
END;

Pl/sql vs oracle reports 6i

Hi I am new to oracle development.
My requirement is to create a text file periodically reading data from oracle tables.
the client wants me to use oracle reports 6i and create a text file. they actually do not have a requirement for a report or this report will not be used in nay other way.
the final output should be text file.
i feel using utl_file package creating the text file on the server is a much better option. for this i thought writing a stored procedure and scheduling this procedure.
please suggest me how i should convince. please give me suggestions in this. thanks in advance..mohan

A while back all reports were just text files, what is the difference between a text report and a text file? If Oracle reports can do it go ahead. If you think it is overhead spool it from SQL*Plus, which as well as being an ad hoc query tool is actually designed as a text only report writer. If you want to you can still use a stored procedure that returns a ref cursor and just print and format the output in SQL*Plus however its wanted.
Don't use util_file, its more code, slower, complicated, you can't just use SQL, you have to loop (though for some reason many programmers seem to see this as an advantage), it can only access the server, Its more suitable for diagnostics, tracing and logging, things the DBA would be interested in, not for the end user or external system interfaces.
