Oracle reports(9i) as destype=file and desformat=dflt

Hello,
I have a front end in forms which give a call to run a report on press of button.The report(9i) is not using charecter mode runtime.It is giving me error though dflt.prt is already there in the printer file under oracle home directory.
Can any one tell me why is it unable to get this prt file.
Is it beacuse that we can use these prt files in charecter mode only.
If yes,how can i use it to run my report from forms with charecter mode runtime? When i try the same i am getting an error saying charecter mode runtime is not allowed.
Cheers,
Rajeev

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Clustering seems to be very good feature of the Oracle Reports server however in our application we do not want more than one server. The problem which I face is mentioned below:
1. We have a server application which actually starts the oracle rwserver.exe in a separate process during its initialization.
2. Whenever this server application receives a report request it from some client then it executes the reports by calling rwclient.exe through a separate process which in turns submits the request to rwserver.exe
3. My problem is that in our network we can have multple such server application running different releases. For this we need to run the rwserver on all the machines where my server application is running.
4. In this scenario this Smart agent (osagent.exe) is preventing me to make the different servers applications of different releases to be up and running.
5. How can I configure my rwserver.exe/osagent.exe so that it remains concerned with the specific machine on which it is running.
Thanks
Ashish

Each page of Oracle Report Generates separate pdf file.

I have a problem that i want that oracle report runs for one time and generates sepatate pdf files for each oracle report page.eg. if there are 8 page of report then 8 pdf files should generate (one pdf file for each page) but the condition is that the print job is set to NO and page range should not be given each time.

What version of Reports are you using?
If it's 10g then have a look at Report Bursting as this should enable you to send the report to multiple files based on a repeating group.

Oracle report 10g publsinng on web and Oracle Portal

I am converting a report that was using oracle OAS9i, we pass to URL(rdf file) userid/password and worked fine. We were not using Portal, even though it is installed by OAS. Now seems we have to use Oracle Portal to publish the same report. Is that right? If not how will I use report servlet to call a rdf file I assume I still need to send oracle user id/password as that is needed to run report(knowing this from old Oracle report 6.0). We really do not want to autheticate any user all users behind use the same Oracle account to print reports. Any hint?
Another thing I find that now reports are closely linked to Portal and looking at web publishing document it seems one needs to view them thru Portal. Please help me understand this why I can not just see the report as once they are processed they produce pdf that any borwser can show.

Any one??

Oracle Reports server 10g shutting down and starting automatically

Hi ,
My 10g Reports server runs on Redhat v4.0 .
From few days reports server log show that Reports Server is shut down and starts up automatically.
------- log -------

what might be reason for above issue ?
Thanks ...

The reports server is not shutting down but rather engines used by the reports server are being stopped and started. A reports engine requests data from the data source, formats the report, sends the output to cache, and notifies the Reports Server that the job is complete. These engines are cycled like connections in a connection pool. You can configure them in the ORACLE_HOME\reports\conf\rwservlet.properties file. Look here for details:

Oracle Reports 10g Distribution - Dynamic file name

HI all.
I have a problem in my distribution file.
The following is my xml file:
<destinations>

<file id="MyFiles1" name="C:\Apps_Attach\Jan2007\Rep_all_Employees.pdf" format="pdf" >
<include src="mainSection"/>
</file>

<foreach>
<file id="MyFiles2" name="&<FOLDER_NAME>&<post_month>&<REP_EMP_NO>.pdf" format="pdf" instance="this">
<include src="mainSection"/>
</file>
</foreach>
</destinations>
This is used for generating Pay Slips as pdf files and storing in the AS.
The users can login to the application with their ID/password and view their payslips only. All working ok.
I can successfully generate both - single file per Employee and one BIG pdf containing all pay slips - this is for the report generator's viewing only.
My problem is - I have to store every month's files in a different folder. Say for example, Jan -2007 files in a folder called Jan2007 , Feb 2007's files in Feb2007 folder,etc.
The parent path for these is fixed - C:\Apps_Attach\
I am able to do this in the per employee files -
&<FOLDER_NAME> gives C:\Apps_Attach\
&<post_month> gives the Jan2007\, Feb2007\,..etc. folder name from Report.
&<REP_EMP_NO> gives the file name per employee.
But in the generate one file for all employees, I am not able to use dynamic path name like
name="&<FOLDER_NAME>&<post_month>Rep_all_Employees.pdf"
It works fine if I use
name="C:\Apps_Attach\Jan2007\Rep_all_Employees.pdf" as in my xml file code above.
Thanks in advance.

Anybody knows how?

hello,
please try to run the report outside apps. it might be, that the report is modified by apps prior to beeing run.
if it works fine outside, which i am sure it will, i am afraid you have to contact your apps support to check with them.
sorry for not beeing more specific, but it is very complicated to find problems as long as they only reporduce in the apps-environment.

Bug report: Crash when reconnecting files and Suggestion

I installed PSE 10.0 and my files had moved from D: to C:. I attempted the Reconnect Missing Files, and the program would consistently crash. It did however connect files before crashing, so I was able to keep restarting and getting the job done. I have over 25K files scattering across various folders. Please fix this problem.
Suggestions:
1. In the manual reconnect, PLEASE place the full path in the path column, allowing me to really sort by path.
2. Do NOT reset the listbox when I connect a file. This really slows the process down. Please attempt to leave it in the same relative position.
3. In the files view, please allow a drop with the same folder name. A confirmation would be OK (with a don't ask again, please).
Thanks for the great product, I hope these help keep the quality high.

yes. i repaired disk and diskwarriored it too. something seems off with my external lacie drive. when the .stmp reconnects to the media on my lacie it crashes. when it reconnects to the media while on my internal g5 drive its fine. weird. thanks for the suggestion.

Reports output to a file and printer/previewer

Group,
It's been a while since I messed with reports, but I have been given the requirement to somehow save a copy of a generated report, so that it could be reprinted at some later date exactly as it was originally printed. My initial thought was to save a copy of the report in pdf format at the time it was printed. Uses a unique file name and record that in our app.
My questions are is that technically possible, ie save to unique (to that printing) named pdf file at the same time it is printed? Or would they have to run the report twice? Once for the printer and once for the pdf file?
Are there any better alternative methods?
We are currently using forms/reports 6i, soon to be moving to 10g. But the requirement for this feature is required before we move to 10g. This would be required to work on several different reports.
Thanks for any advice.

6i client server. Calling reports from forms.
So the save to file first then print with host is an option. Will that work with previewer?
thanks.

Dynamically creating reports with an xml file and a dataset??

Post Author: Xaisoft
CA Forum: .NET
I have an xml file I created called ReportFields.xml which looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ReportFields>
<AccountNumber></AccountNumber
<FirstName></FirstName>
<LastName></LastName>
</ReportFields>
I then create a blank crystal report and go into the Database Expert and choose ADO.NET DataSets, I browse to the xml file I just created, in this case ReportFields and give it a Class Name of ReportFields. Now under Database Fields, I have a ReportFields table with the following columns:
AccountNumber, FirstName, and LastName.
I drag AccountNumber onto the Details section of the report. I have a stored procedure I created called GetAccts which basically has the following syntax:
select top 50 a.Account_Number from tbAccounts.
Depending on which client database this is run against, it will obviously return different results. I am using the Microsoft Application Data Access Block from Enterprise Library 3.1 to Return a DataSet. Once I get the DataSet which would only have 1 table with 1 column (Account Numbers), how can I bind the AccountNumber field on the report to what is returned in the DataSet?
Thanks Very Much in Advance,
Xaisoft

OK, i figured this much out:
Dim ds As New DataSet
 Dim myXmlReader As New System.Xml.XmlTextReader("C:\SystemSetup.xml")
 ds.ReadXml(myXmlReader, XmlReadMode.InferTypedSchema)
 mydatatable = ds.Tables(0)

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.

Html tags in oracle reports

If fields of tables in my database contain html tags such as 'H2O' (here is html tag 'sub') or 'sometext'(here is html tag 'b') how can I to make Report Builder 6i to understand these tags? In other words - can Report Builder understand and treat html tags to format output layout?
Or how in another way I can format a part of text inside the field?
Example:
The below text comes from database and contains html tags.
 THIS IS DEMO TEXT TO TEST HTML TAGES IN REPORTS 
<TD >Technology Centers
</TD>
<html><body dir=&Direction bgcolor="#ffffff"> </body></html>
<html><body dir=&Direction bgcolor="#ffffff">this is test</body></html>

Hello Learnotd,
Depending on your requirements, you can do one of the following:
1. In Reports Builder, you can set the default values for the DESFORMAT system parameter to HTML, DESTYPE to FILE and DESNAME to the desired output file name, in the object navigator. Now, running the report will generate it to the HTML file, instead of displaying it in the previewer.
2. If you are using the command-line executables, 'destype=file' and 'desformat=html' arguments will produce HTML output (using rwcli60, rwcgi60 or rwrun60) to the file specified by desname.
3. If you calling Reports from Forms, desformat=html should be included in the run_report_object call.
Thanks,
The Oracle Reports Team.

How to automatically attached multiple PDF reports to an e-mail and send

Hello.
I have a requirement to generate multiple PDF reports using Oracle Reports 6i on the web, then automatically attach these PDF reports to an Outlook e-mail and then bring up the Outlook e-mail dialog box so the user can modify the e-mail (such as adding more attachments, adding a CC, BC, change the message text) before sending the e-mail. I want to be able to initiate all these tasks from Oracle webforms 6i in a three-tier environment.
I have already read various notes and solutions but none of them address all my requirements. Examples:
1. Using OLE to interface with Outlook - but OLE does now work on the Web
2. Using Java stored procedure or UTL_SMTP - but this does not bring-up an e-mail dialog box
3. Using mailto: in HTML and web.show_document - but this does not allow you to attach a PDF file
Can you please advise on possible solutions to my requirements. Thank you very much.
Regards,
Armando

Here is a great resource for sending binaries.
http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/tech/pl_sql/htdocs/Utl_Smtp_Sample.html
You'll want to use utl_http to run each report with a destype=file and then have another procedure running to check to see when all of your reports have finished. After they are finished, you would run the stored procedure to get all of the binaries, attach them in an email and then send it.
If you want to concate all of the PDF files into one large file, you can do this with a Java stored procedure using iText.
