Oracle Reports 6.x and Oracle Express Server

What are the benefits of using Oracle Reports in conjunction with Oracle Express Server? We are currently using OFA for planning and forecasting, and are evaluating Oracle Reports as a tool to produce and publish key financial reports for a large user community. Is there any benefit in using Oracle Reports rather than just creating and publishing the reports directly within OFA?
Thanks,
Bill

Bill,
we tried to use Reports 6i with Express server. There were many troubles.
1. It is very hard task to establish connection Reports/Express
2. It is not possible to enter parameters for the reports
3.There are limitation on the number of dimensions in the report

Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit on the same server

Hi,
I have a Windows 2008 server 64-bit with Oracle Client 64-bit and Oracle Client 32-bit installed on different directories (D:\Oracle and D:\Oracle32)
Is it possible to define for certain applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 64-bit Oracle Client
and for other applications to use the TNSNAMES entry from the 32-bit Oracle Client
Once I installed the Oracle Client 32-bit (Oracle Client 64-bit version was already installed) and restarted the server I performed a TNSPING and it defaulted to the Oracle Client 32-bit installation path
Thanks,
Barry

Hello,
When you install a new client on a server, it will update the PATH variable, and add the ORACLE_HOME\bin path to it, at the first place. That explains why the tnsping use the last installed ORACLE_HOME.
What you can do if you want only to change the default path to the tnsnames is to set the environment variable TNS_ADMIN to the path where the tnsnames you want to use is located. You can modify this variable in your application if you want to use another tnsnames.
If you want switch from 32 bits to 64 bits client, then you have to modify the PATH variable.
Hope this will help.
Best regards,
Sylvie

Oracle 11.5.9 and Oracle 9i RAC fresh install

How is there an Oracle 11.5.9 and Oracle 9i RAC fresh install

No, except you upgrade your developer patchset which should not be an issue for the customized forms you have.
Can you please explain more in detail about this option and i will be thankful. Appreciate your help.Please see (Upgrading Developer 6i with Oracle Applications 11i [ID 125767.1]) for the steps you need to follow to upgrade your developer patchset.
Your custom reports should work find after this upgrade, and in case you have any issues you can try to compile those forms again -- How to Generate Form, Library and Menu for Oracle Applications (11i and R12) [ID 130686.1]

Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory

Hello Gurus,
What is the relationship between Oracle Single Sign on and Oracle Internet Directory.
To my understanding, OID is required to install SSO.
If OID already exist, can we just install SSO and go on integrating it to existing OID.
Great Thanks,

Hi Tim,
I've been working on this and could reproduce the issue with anonymous binds. A fix will be ready in 4.2.1.
So what I really need is the password used for login to pass to the is_member call.The P101_PASSWORD item does not save state. However, you can access the value during submit processing of the login page, for example in the post authentication function of your authentication scheme. People sometimes put code in there to query the user's groups (e.g. with apex_ldap.member_of2) and save them in an application. This item value can then be used in the authorization schemes.

Running Tuxedo8.0 on oracle 8.1.6 and oracle 10.2.0.2.0 on the same machine

Hello,
I have oracle 8.1.6 64 bit and oracle 10.2.0.2.0 64 bit
running on the same hp UX 11i 64-bit machine
I have installed Tuxedo 8.0 32bit on the same machine.
I have a working tuxedo 8.0 environment running against the 8.1.6 oracle
database
in the Tuxedo .../udataobj/RM file I have for the 8.1.6 environment the string
Oracle_XA:xaosw:-L${ORACLE_HOME}/lib -lclntsh
In oracle 8.1.6 home there are directories lib and lib64
but in oracle 10.2.0.2.0 home there are directories
lib and lib32
what string should I use for the oracle 10.2.0.2.0?
Oracle_XA:xaosw:-L${ORACLE_HOME}/lib32 -lclntsh maybe???
Must the string in the RM file for oracle always begin with the string
Oracle_XA?
If so is, possible at all to run the the binaries of one Tuxedo installation
against two different databases versions because the RM strings are similar in
the beginning but in 8.1.6 refer to the lib directory and in 10.2.0.2.0 refer
to the lib32 directory ?
Or do I need to have two installations of tuxedo8.0 binaries on the machine?
I have tried to for 10.2.0.2.0 the line (the Ora10_XA is only a try...)
Ora10_XA:xaosw:-L${ORACLE_HOME}/lib32 -lclntsh
in the RM file but when starting tuxedo I get:
$ cat /mnt04/edu/ressu/bin/xa_NULL06092006.trc
ORACLE XA: Version 10.2.0.1.0. RM name = 'Oracle_XA'.
111035.16584.0:
xaogetmod: XAER_INVAL; Invalid xa_info string.
Any comments on the matter appreciated.
rgds,
Jyri

Jyri,
The information before the first colon in the $TUXDIR/udataobj/RM file is
only used by the buildtms, buildserver, and buildclient programs to find the
line corresponding to the value of the -r option, so it should be OK to
specify different values for Oracle 8.1.6 and Oracle 10.2.0.2.0.
The information specfied in the OPENINFO string in the *GROUPS section of
the TUXCONFIG file must be of the form
OPENINFO="ORACLE_XA:Oracle_XA+...."
The strings ORACLE_XA and Oracle_XA cannot be changed, except for case. The
"...." can be replaced with parameters such as
SqlNet=NAMESesTm=100+LogDir=.+MaxCur=5 or whatever is used in your
applicatino. The "xaogetmod: XAER_INVAL: Invalid xa_info string" error you
are getting is due to an incorrect OPENINFO parameter.
If you are running a 32-bit version of Tuxedo you must link with the
${ORACLE_HOME}/lib32 library on 10gR2; if you are using a 64-bit version of
Tuxedo you must link with ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib library. The procedure is
similar for Oracle 8 except that it seems that the lib directory may be the
32-bit library in that version of Oracle.
32-bit and 64-bit binaries cannot be mixed under a single TUXDIR, but it is
possible to use multiple RMs or multiple versions of the same RM on the same
machine.
The syntax of the open string and the list of libraries to link with is
specified in the "Oracle Database Application Developer's Guide -
Fundamentals" in the "Developing Applications with Oracle XA" chapter.

"Oracle BPM Suite 11g" and "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components

Dear Friends,
I am very confusing about the "Oracle BPM suite 11g" and "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" and would like your help on explanation as the following :
I have learn that In order to use "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" require to have "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components to install first. Does it means that :
1) When we buy "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" , we automatically get the "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" components as well ?
2) IS it correct that these " these Oracle SOA Suite 11g components" are included :
(a) Oracle BAM
(b) Oracle Business Rules
(c) Oracle BPEL Manager
(d) Oracle Service Bus
(e) Oracle Complex Event Processing
3) Do we have a right to use all of these components listed in (2) ?
4) Then the answers in (3) is "YES", then Is it correct when the customer buy the "Oracle BPM Suite 11g" , they no need to buy "Oracle SOA 11g" any more when they would like to implements that applications based on SOA in the future (without using BPM) ?
5) What IF , the customer would like to start with "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" product and decide to buy only Oracle SOA Suite 11g first ; then later on in the future they would like to implement BPM projects in the future. Can you upgrade "Oracle SOA Suite 11g" to include "Oracle BPM Sutie 11g" and pay only the price different ?
I hope you can help providing the answers to these questions. THank you very much in advance.
Best Regards
Pearapon S.

This is a question best answered by your Oracle reseller or Oracle account manager to give you all the details but I hope this brief answer helps:
- The Unified Business Process Management Suite (BPM Suite 11g) includes: BPM Studio, BPM Composer, BPMN Service Engine and Workflow Extensions, BPM Process Spaces, and BPM Process Analytics.
- BPM Suite 11g requires the licensing of SOA Suite 11g for Oracle Middleware which requires a license for WebLogic Suite.
- You can license SOA Suite 11g now and license BPM Suite 11g later.
Since the products are layered, I don't see this cutting into SOA sales at all. My personal view is that BPM on top of SOA is brilliant since it provides easy integration between human and automated tasks, builds on many of the SOA concepts that are key for a successful BPM implementation (functional, not the Oracle product), and uses the same IDE. The synergies extend past easy use of services; the same business rules and human workflow components are used between both products.

Reports from Java and Oracle database

Hi
I need to generate couple of reports from my application, with Java as front end and oracle 11.2.0.3.0. database . Reports are having very simple select statements, using the criteria users enter from GUI. we don't need to execute a direct select statement from Java, with the where clauses . I did some research and found out about Pipelined functions. I tested for a small set of records and it worked fine. Will this work for large data set? any drawbacks of using this method? Any other methods for this requirement?
Thanks in advance
JP

Pipeline table functions do not sound like the appropriate approach. It is designed to primarily deal with data transformations. Using it as a rendering engine for report writing? There are fundamental problems with such an approach.
As Dave and Andre commented - the CORRECT means for PL/SQL to pass "data" to Java (or other client languages) is via reference cursors (pointers that the client can use for referencing SQL cursor programs on the server). And Java as a report writer does not really compare with the ease and flexibility that Oracle Apex (Application Express) provides as a reporting framework.

Help desiging a 10g Oracle Report with Matrix and Lexical Parameters - Long

Hello all:
I apologize in advance for this long post.... I'm using Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4.0.33). First -- the question:
I need to create a Matrix where the rows come from one database table
(TABLE1) and the columns and cell contents come from a linked query (pulled from TABLE2) that is generated with lexical parameters based on the current TABLE1 row. The lexical parameters contain a WHERE clause for the TABLE2 query. Basically, I have a linked query between TABLE1 and TABLE2. I need to generate a Matrix around it.
Does anyone know if this is even possible?
Here's the background on the application, if that is helpful...
I have an application where I maintain database tables containing names/addresses along with information pertaining to them. As part of the processing, I need to produce reports that contain statistics based on values in the table. For example, each row has a field RTYPE that identifies the Record Type (1-Suppress, 2-Buyer, 3-Inquirer). Each row also has a last purchase date field. The statistics produced for this field would look like this:
          2001     2002     2003     11/03     12/03 01/04     02/04 03/04     04/04     05/04 ...
Buyer      100 150 250 30 25 15 8 9 22 83
Inquirer     1000 800 493 ...
Suppress ... ...
Totals ... ...
Each cell contains the count of the number of records that have the corresponding RTYPE and Last Purchase date. The dates across the top are determined by the most recent purchase date in the file. We count the last 12 months, month by month, and then anything older than that is grouped by
year of purchase. So, the column headings are variable.
The SQL query for this example looks like this:
SELECT CASE WHEN rtype = '2' THEN 'Buyers'
WHEN rtype = '3' THEN 'Inquirers'
WHEN rtype = '1' THEN 'Suppress'
END HLDESC,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYYMM')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYY') || '00'
END YYMM_8,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'MM/YY')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE, 'YYYY')
END FmtDate_8,
COUNT(*) HLCOUNT
FROM &TABLENAME T
GROUP BY CASE WHEN rtype = '2' THEN 'Buyers'
WHEN rtype = '3' THEN 'Inquirers'
WHEN rtype = '1' THEN 'Suppress'
END,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYYMM')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYY') || '00'
END,
CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'MM/YY')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE, 'YYYY')
END
ORDER BY CASE WHEN MONTHS_BETWEEN(trunc(:MAXHLDATE,'MONTH'),
TRUNC(T.HOTLINE,'MONTH')) < 12
THEN TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYYMM')
ELSE TO_CHAR(T.HOTLINE,'YYYY') || '00'
END
There might be a better way to write this, but that isn't the issue at the moment.
I have many different tables, each with different fields. I need to produce counts on each of those fields. Some of those fields have a limited number of values where I need to count the occurrences and attach a description (like the RTYPE counts above). Others, like Last Purchase Amount, require counts within ranges (between 0 and 9.99, 10 and 19.99, etc.). Still others are "multiple choice"-style fields (such as products purchased), where we have multiple single-char flags that are not null when the corresponding products are purchased. In this case, we need to produce statistics that look like this:
          2001     2002     2003     11/03     12/03 01/04     02/04 03/04     04/04     05/04 ...
Product 1 .........
Product 2 .........
The worst of the bunch is a field where I need to count the occurrence of each value within it (hundreds of values) without entering descriptions, so I don't know how many rows will appear ahead of time. This is used for "source codes" that identify where the name/address came from. They look similar to the RTYPE above, but the leftmost column contains each value from the field rather than a description. There are so many possible values and they change so often that it isn't feasible to enter a description for each one.
Right now, I manually create an Oracle Report for each table when I design/load it. This is becoming difficult to manage, since I have over 150 of them now. Each of these reports can have any number of matrices to display (the largest right now has about 25).
The new table structure to generate these reports consists of two tables: A COUNTHDR table and a COUNTROW table. The COUNTHDR table represents a single Matrix within the report. It contains info such as a heading for the Matrix and whether column totals should be calculated or not. The COUNTROW table contains a description for each row and an SQL Fragment that contains an appropriate WHERE clause to match the description. In the event of a "source code" style count, COUNTHDR has the name of the field to count. COUNTROWs won't exist, so I'll be handling those counts differently. But, ignoring that issue for now, the report structure looks like this:
+ Q1 +
|
+ COUNTHDR +
|
+ COUNTROW +
| linked query
+ Q2 +
|
+ COUNTDTL +
Q2 is the query with lexical parameters for the table and "where clause" that identifies the actual statistic I need counted. I need fields from COUNTROW and COUNTDTL to form a Matrix.
Can this be done? How?
Of course, if anyone out there has a better idea on how to achieve my goal of not writing a report per table, please let me know!! :-)
TIA
Eric Raskin
PS. This structure does not exactly duplicate my original query, since multiple Matrix rows are created by the single SQL query given in the example. Instead, I'll end up executing an SQL query for each row, which is less than desirable. The design will need some tweaking...
PPS. I have tried handling this problem by pre-counting the target table and storing the results in a COUNTCOL table, containing the details of the matrix. This actually does work, but the performance is terrible. I have one "source code"-style count that generated over 20,000 detail cells, including all the "0" cells needed to fill out the matrix. If you don't generate the "0" cells, you get holes in the matrix presentation and/or error messages (which I can explain if you wish). I never did get Oracle Reports to print this one -- I gave up after an hour of runtime on a P4 3GHz machine connected via Gigabit Ethernet to the server. Hence the attempt to push the SQL Queries back into the Oracle Report itself.
