Oracle Reports 6 / windows 7 / Arabic

Dear Experts,
I am using the Oracle Report Builder 6.0.8.26, these reports were working perfect on windows xp, recently we upgraded to windows 7 64 bit and we noticed the generated reports (report style is form letter) the arabic text shows but at the line ends, the words and letters are separated and few letters were missing,
from the settings part the NLS_LANG is configured with AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256 and regional settings are configured for both English & Arabic
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated
Best Regards,

Pl see my response in this thread - Oracle Installation on windows 7

Oracle Reports 11.1.2 junk Arabic characters in PDF

Hi guys,
When I generate a report with Arabic characters, they appear as junk characters.
I did the following:
Set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256
Include C:\WINDOWS\Fonts in REPORTS_PATH (in the Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\KEY_OH258674538 )
Open uifont.ali and set the font alias:
   [PDF:Subset]
   "Arabic Transparent"...Bold.. ="arialbd.ttf"
   "Arabic Transparent"="arialbd.ttf"
Installed Arabic keyboard in Windows server that hosts Reports server
Changed the location to United Arab Emirates in Windows
Run the report with DESTYPE=FILE and DESFORMAT=PDF
I also tried to change the font name of the field that contains the Arabic data in the report to things like: Tahoma, Arial, Courier New, but with no luck.
Environment Specs:
OS: Windows 2008 R2
Oracle Reports 11.1.2 (installed on the top of Weblogic 10.3.6.0)
Thanks in advance.

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

Command to open a PDF generated Oracle Report in New browser window

I know this is probably something for the Oracle Forums but I'll ask anyway because I can't find any info out there on this, without some extra work.
I am generating a PDF file from 10g Oracle reports on Linux RHEL 5 and storing the PDF file to the server. I can send that PDF file directly to a printer with the "lpr" command and that part works fine.
What I'm wanting to do now is "View" the PDF from within the server in a new window. We are using RHEL 5 (Linux) platform and I'm trying to see if there is a way to open the file with a "command line" command that will open it in a new browser window or new window period (opening it with Adobe Acrobat).
Does anyone have a command that will do this? Otherwise, how has everyone else been handling this. The idea of just viewing the previously generated PDF Report file will save us overhead on our database servers because they won't have to re-run some of the same reports over and over.
Any help and assistance is appreciated.
Chris

Several options:
- If you only want to show the pdf to the client without printing, use destype=cache and use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT after the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (for examples search the forms-forum, there are lots)
-If you have to generate the pdf to a file to get it printed, you could
+use WEBUTIL_FILETRANSFER.AS_TO_CLIENT after the printing to transfer the file to the client, then use CLIENT_HOST to view it.
+map the appserver-directory you generate the report to as a virtual directory in the application-server then use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to directly access the generated file via url.

Open oracle report in new window from method

Hi,
I have a requirement to do some stuff in the view object, save changes, launch an oracle report 10g in a new window, and then navigate to a new page on a SINGLE button press.
I can get all this done using a command button to call may backing bean and a goButton to launch my report, but need to combine these into a single button.
My question is, is there any way to launch my new window and report from the backing bean?
Or is there some other way to accomplish these requirements?
this is a JSF/BC app, jdev 10.1.3.3
Thanks,
Jim

What if I have to do validation against the inputs that are used to dynamically generate the report url in the backing bean when clicking the "Button". I couldn't see there is a way for <af:goButton> to implement that. I think there should be some kind of action or listener in the backing where I can do the validation before I decide to open the new window for report.
I searched the forum and there is a post that will use a form to open the report window using target="_blank" in the form's attribute, but that works only if we don't have to validate the inputs.
I also tried to find a solution that will open a new windows in the backing bean by invoking a javascript, that javascript function will have the report url generated in the backing bean as the parameter. But so far, I couldn't find one with my ADF version 10.1.3.2.0. It looks like that in ADF 11, this approach might be feasible.
Any idea, hints?

Oracle Report in New window with submit

Hello, I'm in urgent need of an example on how submit a page and open a Oracle Report in a new window. I've searched the forum and found similiar threads, but not exactly what I need. Basically, I have an html page with cascading LOVs in which the user can cascade down until they get to the report (oracle report) they will like to generate. I'm using Patrick's ApexLib for my cascading LOVs. The user can also pick a date range via a Date Picker. I need the page to submit so that paramters from the LOVs and Date Picker can be passed to the Oracle Report. The Oracle Report needs to open in a new window. Currently I'm using a button item using a branch which runs the report fine, but it comes up in the same page. Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to accomplish this? Thanks in advance for your help!
Lou

Hi Lou,
you don't have to submit the page. If you have all the values on your page in HTML input fields you are fine. You would only submit it if you want to do some additional processing on the server to calculate values, ...
So just create a button with "Redirect URL without submitting page",
set "Target is a" to "URL" and use the following code in the "URL Target" property.
javascript:popupURL('http://your_oracle_report_url/regionid='+$x('P4_REGION_ID').value+'city='+$x('P4_CITY').value);The $x('some_page_item').value is used in JavaScript to reference the current value of an HTML field. Use the same identifier as you have used for your item in APEX.
Hope that helps
Patrick

How to run Oracle Report in new window

Hi,
There appear to be many threads regarding this issue, but so far I've been unable to piece together a solution to my problem.
My requirements are quite simple really.
- Invoke an Oracle Report from an HTMLDB page
- Pass parameters form the page to the report URL
- Run the report in a new window
I have created a simple example at:
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=36506:1
Page 1 contains the following HTML Header attribute
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function callMyPopup (url){
w = open(url,"winLov","");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
The URL i wish to invoke is
http://myappserver/reports/rwservlet?test/test@test+report=test.rdf+&P1_PARAMETER.
My question is, where would I put the code to invoke the URL? I'm trying to use the following code
javascript:callMyPopup('http://myappserver/reports/rwservlet?test/test@test+report=test.rdf+&P1_PARAMETER.');
I've tried putting this in a branch but I get a 'Page can not be displayed' error.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Andrew

Hi,
I'm trying to invoke an oracle report through a button in apex2.2. Please let me know how to display the report in a new window.
I have put the URL as of now in the branch of the button, and the report is getting displayed in the same window.
I've read some of the posts and put the URL as the target of the button instead of a branch and also used the javascript:popupURL(), but it still doesnt work for me. The URL works fine without the javascript.
I have put the URL as of now in the branch of the button, and the report is getting displayed in the same window.
Thanks in advance,
Priyanka

Display Integrated Oracle Report in New Browser Window

Hi All,
I am using APEX 3.0.1 and Reports Builder 10g and have integrated my Oracle Reports (.rdf) successfully with APEX.
The trouble is that the report output (in PDF format) is opening in the same browser window as my APEX application and I would like to spawn a new browser window to display the report output.
The report is being called from a button with a Target of URL and the URL Target is:
&REPORTS_URL.&module=DEBITNOTE_REP.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf&P_DEBITNOTEID=&P73_DEBITNOTEID.
Kind Regards,
Gary.

Hi Garry,
Had to do the same thing last week.
1. Create a javascript function that accepts the report parameters and calls the window.open function for the reports URL
2. Change the URL on the report button to call this new function
It might also be worth using a cmdfile (see reports doco) to simplify the URL
cheers,
Ron

I reinstalled it. It works. I am able to open it but then the same problem happens again. Does any one know they appropriate way to install oracle developer suite 10g on windows7.
To install it I did the following
Install Oracle Developer Suite 10g on Windows 7 (64bit)
Recently, I got a task to install Oracle Developer Suite on Windows 7(64bit), but there seems lots of hassles to achieve this goal. There is a thread on Oracle forum on that topic. Here I log what I did to get it installed on my Windows 7(64bit) with 8G RAM.
extract the setup files (version 101202) downloaded from otn.
right click the install\setup.exe property, set compatibility to Windows XP SP2
edit the virtual memory size to custom size from 1024m to 8000m, restart it
run the install\setup.exe
Hope this helps.

Help! oracle report out of order after update Rollup for windows 2000 sp4

hello once again
i haven't received any solution of my problem, so i am again uploading it.
----PROBLEM IS GIVEN BELOW-----
i am having a problem in oracle report printing (2000,6i). I have installed patch "update Rollup for windows 2000 sp4" on windows 2000. now when i send report(132 column) for printing to the printer, the report fails to expand to 132 columns and data is printed in unformatted fashion. in order to print the report correctly i have to remove the patch from the windows.i have set all parameters and
defining page size in files like wide180.PRT in printers folder in oracle directory.
Is there anyway to print the report without uninstalling windows patch?
thanks

I don't have any idea about this issue. Maybe someone else on this forum can help. Meanwhile, there are couple of places you can search for this issue:
Search google for printing issues with this patch
Search Microsoft forums for Windows 2000
And if you have metalink account, search metalink forum, document/note or open a SR for this.

Problem in retrieving arabic data (Oracle Report Builder)

Hi ,
- When I built a report using report builder and click run paper layout icon, all retrieved Arabic and English data , labels, Header and Titles appear fine also font properties( font, size, bold) appear fine.
But when click run web layout icon for the same report ,
- all Arabic retrieved data appears ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? .
- Arabic labels appear fine.
- Headers and Titles didn’t appear at all .
- All font properties( font, size, bold) don’t appear , I used many fonts like (Times New Roman, Arabic Transparent, Arial,…)
- NLS_Lang in registry= american_america.ar8mswin1256 which supports English and Arabic languages.
And I can insert and retrieve Arabic and English data from SQL+ and iSQL , so I feel that settings of NLS_Lang and
CONTROL PANEL-REGIONAL STTING are correct.
