Oracle Reports 6i on Oracle EBS 11i Showing Junk Characters

Hello,
I have a very simple Oracle Reports 6i reports that needs to run in EBS. I have developed the report and it iis working like a charm when run within the Report 6i tools itself. But when this .rdf file is ported over Oracle EBS and when I run as concurrent request, I get junk characters in report data.
Please advise what am I missing. Below is the output from concurrent manager. You will see that there are junk values like (s7B07... everywhere.

  • 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

    Hi,
    I have installed oracle forms and reports 11gR2 on Windows 7 Professional 64bit (and configured in development mode), the forms are working fine but when i run a report i get this message
    REP-52266: The in-process Reports Server rep_adminserver_ikit_asinst_1 failed to start.oracle.reports.RWException: IDL:oracle/reports/RWException:1.0

    I was trying to add a new destination:
       <destination class="oracle.reports.server.DesMail" destype="mail"/>
    I couldn't make it work , so I commented my changes.
    In fact, I should have gone back to a backup file , as weblogic seemed to have changed the file itself!! (attributes of the xml tags were in different order, and more things ...) but just undoing what I have done did the trick.
    This file seems to be quite picky, I left this tag uncommented
       </pluginParam>
    and the same REP-5226 error happened.

  • Oracle Reports 10.1.2.3 output shows question marks, parameter form shows correct Arabic

    Hi
    Following is our environment
    Oracle Application Server     10.1.2.3.0
    Microsoft Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2
    Oracle Database 11.2.0.2.0
    NLS_LANG     AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256
    When client runs the report on browser (IE), the parameter form appears fine with Arabic characters.
    Inserting the parameters in Arabic also look fine and characters display in Arabic but when report is generated, the output shows the inserted parameters as ????
    On server, regional settings are ALL Arabic. Also the registry has NLS_LANG setting of AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256.
    Report output is same for both html and pdf formats. For PDF subetting, uifont.ali file has been modified but the issue does not seem to be PDF related since the html format reports also shows ???
    It is a 3 tier setup hence there is no question of having NLS_LANG registry settings for client PCs that are running Windows OS with Arabic regional settings that match the server.
    Interestingly, the same report when run from a different application server having same architecture runs fine. The other application server has exact same version of OAS. Database supports Arabic and is configured as such.I tried comparing the different configuration files on both servers but apparently I cannot find the place where I should change something for the reports to show correct Arabic.
    SELECT * FROM NLS_PARAMETERS
    WHERE parameter IN ('NLS_CHARACTERSET','NLS_LANGUAGE');
    NLS_LANGUAGE
    AMERICAN
    NLS_CHARACTERSET
    AR8MSWIN1256
    I am writing this after doing quite some research but seems like I am unable to find a solution to this.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you Paul for your reply.
    I think you misunderstood me. I understand that it is all volunteer work and I never said I was looking for "quick" or "sure" response. I did not even use the words IMMEDIATE or URGENT in my post. I found it strange because I personally believe that there are many volunteers providing great support to others and yet my post somehow went unnoticed. In my personal opinion, however, if you do not wish to reply then you should just ignore rather than being rude. No one can force anyone to do the good work that people are doing here at oracle forums and they are all doing this out of choice. Let me also assure you that me and people like myself really appreciate their efforts.
    Having said that, I wish you had taken time to read about my issue. There is infact a registry setting that specifies the NLS_LANG and it is already set under both Infrastructure and Middle Tier in the registry. I mentioned it earlier. The value is AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256 and I believe this is correct for Arabic characters.
    What is confusing for me is the fact that if browser was not capable of showing Arabic characters then the static Arabic words in the reports layout (field name for instance) would also show as garbage or question marks. They appear to be fine. Since we are just passing some parameters in Arabic language and not saving anything in the database, the DB characterset does not come into play for now. Although the DB characterset is also set to store Arabic data. We are displaying the parameters that we are passing through the parameter form in the output of the report and this is where we see question marks (????).
    Finally, if it was a browser issue or a DB characterset issue, then in my limited knowledge, I believe that the report that we are running using the other Application Server that is pointing to the same database should also show the same behaviour. That is not the case as it displays the same report perfectly. Client machine is the same in both cases using Windows 7 and IE as browser.
    http://appserver1/reports/rwservlet?admin/myreport           (connecting to db1)    works fine
    http://appserver2/reports/rwservlet?admin/myreport          (connecting to db1)     show question marks
    Above URLs are examples. The point I am trying to make here is that the issue has to be with the new application server and it cannot be registry settings as I have double checked the entry and it exists in all Oracle Homes ie Infrastructure and Middle Tier. So maybe it is some configuration file setting that I am missing here.
    Any help will be appreciated.

  • List of Oracle Reports run through Oracle Portal.

    Hi,
    It's possible that I am posting my message to a wrong Forum. If that's so, please let me know (and the correct forum too).
    I have several Oracle Reports that are run through Oracle Portal (when user clicks a link for a report). I want to get a list of all such Oracle Reports in one go as I need to modify all of them. At the moment, to get the actual report name that I need to modify I am following the steps below.
    When I am at 'Oracle Reports Security' page (in the Portal) where there is a section 'Reports Definition File Access',
    1. I click list icon without entering any value in the box. It shows me a list of all report definitions.
    2. After selecting a report definition, and clicking Edit, it shows me 'Manage Component' page. There are several links available. One of them is 'Edit'.
    3. I click 'Edit' and it shows me the actual 'Oracle Reports File Name'. This is the file I need to work on.
    But instead of following the above steps for each of the several reports I need to modify, is there any way, say by running a SQL query, to find out the actual Oracle Reports file names?
    The 'Manage Component' page shows 'Run Link' and links for 'PL/SQL source'. I tried to search for the schema name and package name in the database (by connecting as SYS user). However, I found neither the Schema not the Package.
    Hope my question is clear. In brief, I want to get a list of Oracle Reports file names that are run through Oracle Portal.
    Any questions, please let me know.
    Thanks and regards,
    Manoj.

    Jim,
    Did you ever try to add Reports portlet as an item, so that user can click on each item to customize/schedule the report? You can have 50 of them, if that is what you really need.
    Any reason why you want to create custom user interface, instead of using this vehicle that Portal provided by default?
    You mentioned "The report Portlet ... does not allow customization." Actually, it does. You can do it by clicking on the Customize link of the Reports portlet.
    Hope this helps,
    -Jeff

  • Oracle reports 6i to Oracle forms 10g migration

    Hi,
    I have .rdf files which were created on Oracle Reports 6i. I would like to migrate the .rdf files into Oracle Reports module which is present as a part of Oracle Forms 10g to generate PDF output.
    Please let me know the detailed steps to be followed as I am a total newbie. Also I need to generate these reports on demand from a java 5 application (JSF 2.0).
    Currently for ORacle reports 6i, I have the following code in my java application
    rwrun60.exe g:\tomcat33\webapps\reports\web-inf\src\null userid=***/*** destype=FILE desformat="pdf" paramform=NO printjob=NO batch=YES desname=temp.pdf
    1. What would be the equivalent for reports in ORacle Forms 10g ? I know there is an Oracle Apps server where ther report services reside. How to I invoke my report from my java application (residing on a weblogic server 10.3.6)?
    2. What ould I do with the 6i .rdf files to upgrade them to 10g ?

    I am trying to call an Oracle report i.e .rdf (which is located on the Oracle  App Server) from my java EE 5 (JSF) application. The Oracle  App server is Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2. I assume Oracle report generation capability is available in this release.  I need to invoke the report from my Java JSF application on demand (whenever the user clicks a button on the web browser page, the report should appear on the browser as PDF) . My java application resides on Linux weblogic server.
    Please let me know how it can be done ? I see rwclient.sh and another method to directly invoke using a URL. How do I do it on java, would a request.redirect() to the URL work ?
    Also for hiding the params in the URL. keys need to be configured on the Oracle server right ?
    Also if we use rwclient.sh or the URL based invocation, would there be any issue in concurrency when multiple users request the same report at the same time ?

  • 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

  • How to install Oracle Report Services in Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1

    My project is running on Oracle Application Server(OAS) 10.1.3.1, and I need to develop some Oracle Reports for my client.
    But I find out there is not "Oracle Report Services" component in OAS 10.1.3.1 like OAS 10.1.2.
    Is there Oracle Report Services for OAS 10.1.3.1? How to get it?

    Max Yuan wrote:
    You mean I need to install 2 OAS(10.1.2 for report, 10.1.3 for my project), or deploy my project to 11g? For the Reports reporting project, you'll need a version/edition that includes AS Reports Services.
    In "10gr2" that means AS 10.1.2.0.2 (plus Patch set): AS Infrastructure + AS BI&Forms installation (enterprise edition) or the standalone Forms and Reports installation (EE or separate licensing). You also need the Developer Suit (Reports Builder). OFM "11gr1" suite has some version of Reports Services but I don't know the available packages and installation types.

  • Passing Parameters with a URL to an Oracle Report, on an Oracle Reports App. Server

    I have built an Oracle report which resides on a Windows 4.0 / IIS application server with Oracle Reports installed.
    (8i Database / 6i Developer 2000 suite). This works flawlessly when called from an Oracle Form.
    My question is, how do I call the same report from portals and pass it the required parameters. Thanks!

    Hi,
    You will have to encode your parameter value. The problem is because of the spaces in the value. Whenever there any special
    characters in the value it should be encoded.
    example
    select '<area shape="rect" coords="335,66,528,83" href="http://townland:7778/pls/portal30/PORTAL30.RPT_SUMKWH.show_parms?meter='||

    from meters
    The above is just an example. Please change the names to suit your requirements.
