Oracle Reports and Java

Can anyone point me to good documentation for incorporating Java
into Oracle Reports Layouts on the web? We'd like to integrate
some drop down boxes in the layout so a user can make some data
choices then execute a drill down report directly from the
layout.
Or put another way, if we have a report with 3 parameters,
rather than have to go back to the param form, we would like to
integrate a header section to the layout that would have 3 drop
downs, so as you are looking at the report, if you want to run
again, you just select your choices in the header and hit a GO
icon of some sort. Since drop downs are not available directly
in reports, we were hoping to use Java.
Thanks in advance for any help!

hello,
oracle reports 6i does not have any java integration. we have added java APIs to Oracle9i Reports in various places (e.g. datasource, destination, notification, ...)
see our Getting Started with Oracle9i Reports or the Oracle9i Reports SDK here on OTN for further information.

Version Control for Oracle Reports and Java

Hi
I have a Reports and Java development enviroment and I need version control for both. In JDeveloper there is only support for CVS and SVN. Does report have support for CVS and SVN?. What can I choose to offer Java and Reports version control?
Regards,
Néstor Boscán

Hello,
You might find neXtep Designer helpful, depending on what you need. It is a free database development environment based on the concept of version control. You will work in a dedicated version control repository in which you can import any existing database through reverse synchronization. Once imported, you will gain control over the lifecycle of your database model all along your developments. The tool will generate SQL scripts resulting from the delta between any 2 versions, allowing you to automate SQL generation. It also provide a delivery mechanism and an installer program which can automate deployment of the changes on a target database.
The product is based on the Eclipse platform and provides features like graphical data model, dependency management, SQL clients, powerful SQL editors for stored code development and currently supports Oracle, MySql and PostgreSql. You will find more information here :
http://www.nextep-softwares.com
Also have a look at the WIKI for more detailed information about the product, the concepts and the reasons why we created neXtep.
Hope this helps,
Christophe

I have increased virtual memory to 4 gig
I have defragmented the drive.
I checked the drive for errors.
I am searching the whole drive for viruses
I do not have the problem with Redhat Fedora 12 running 11gR1
I have 1 gig of RAM but cannot install release 2 because the installer expects
1 gig + 1

ooops!!! left that off...sorry

Migration steps in oracle reports and forms

Hi,
I want to migrate oracle reports and oracle forms from its curent versions to 10G.
current versions:
Oracle Report : 2.5
Oracle Forms : 4.5
any help would be appreciated.....
Thanks,
Ganesh

Hi,
there is the forms upgrade center on OTN. There is a lot of information about upgrading of forms. ou can find it here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/upgrade/index.html.
The way is (to my knowledge), go from 4.5 to 6i and then to 10g.
On the page you also find a link for Oracle Reports.
If you have more questions, I think you should ask your questions in the Forms Forum: Forms or in the Reports Forum: Reports There are the experts on the topic.

Oracle reports and multiple pages

I am new the Oracle Reports and I am trying to generate a report that can continue to the another page. For instance, if my list of items exceeds the first page of the report, the remaining items will be printed on the next page. We can get it to continue to the next page, but the formatting of the following pages after the first page needs to be different. Currently, it is placing the remaining items in the same position as the first page. The remaining items should be further up the page.
In short, how do I generate 1 report with 2 different formats. All pages beside the 1st page will be the same.
Any guidance is appreciated.

Please post the details of the application release, database version and OS.
I would like to ask for your help regarding printing from concurrent requests.
I am currently having an issue with printing multiple pages from Oracle reports, both in text format and RTF/PDF formats.
When I generate a multiple page report and print it directly from a concurrent request, print outs generate extra space after each page even though page size is indicated in the reports (all of them are in letter size).What if you print the output file from the OS, can you reproduce the issue then?
Troubleshooting (Printing) [ID 104528.1]
An Extra Empty Page Is Printed at the End of Requests Output [ID 1011499.7]
I have already tried editing the printer drivers both the actual driver config file and through the application but the results are still the same.Can you reproduce the issue with other printers?
This is very important since printing is done on continuous paper and continuous pre-printed forms
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.If the issue is urgent, please log a SR.
Thanks,
Hussein

Few people are "Oracle ACE" and "Java Champion"
What's whose icon ?:|
I think that icon should not be only one.
For instance,I am Pro (I have 570 points) and "Oracle ACE".
Therefore I hope that My icons are "Pro" and "Oracle ACE".

One option here could be a signature line - that lay bares one's claim to fame, knowledge and experience. This is often standardise by community agreement on some web forums (the gamer ones often include clan tags and titles with h/w specs). Or something like GeekCode.
Never really fancied that myself - but it could be fun putting an Oracle based geekcode together. ;-)

Oracle Linux and Java 7u10

Hi all,
I installed Oracle Linux Server 6.3 selecting "software Development System" (java 1.6.0 comes with it).
but I need to use Java 1.7
So I downloaded jdk-7u10-linux-x64.rpm
when I try to install it, I get the following error.
Unpacking JAR files...
     rt.jar...
Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jre1.7.0_10/lib/rt.pack
     jsse.jar...
Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jre1.7.0_10/lib/jsse.pack
     charsets.jar...
Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jre1.7.0_10/lib/charsets.pack
     localedata.jar...
Error: Could not open input file: /usr/java/jre1.7.0_10/lib/ext/localedata.pack
I can't uninstall java 1.6 because other rpm uses it.
Can someone tell me what the "proper" way to install Oracle Linux and Java 1.7 should be?
OR is there a Oracle Linux Server 6.4 coming out soon with Java 1.7 as its default package set ;-)
thanks in advance,
c.w.

You can ignore the errors. The files named in the error lines do not exist in the rpm package, but are there as .jar files
The following works under Oracle Linux 6.3 x86_64 (and probably other versions).
1. Open the following URL in a web browser on your PC:
<pre>
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
</pre>
2. Click the JDK download button, accept the license agreement and download the JDE rpm package.
3. Copy the following file to your Oracle Linux server (SFTP):
<pre>
jdk-7u10-linux-x64.rpm
</pre>
4. Login as root and use the YUM utility to install the RPM package.
<pre>
# yum install ./jdk-7u10-linux-x64.rpm
</pre>
5. Register the new installed java version, then change your default Java:
<pre>
# alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/java/jdk1.7.0_10/bin/java 2
# alternatives --config java
</pre>
Display your default Java version:
<pre>
# java -version
java version "1.7.0_10"

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.6-b04, mixed mode)

Passing SQL-Parameters to Oracle-Reports from java

hello,
i want to write an application in the following way:
on a java-frontend an user can select values for different
parameters. these values should be to transferred to the sql-
query of the reports rdf file. what is the syntax of an
parameter passed from java to oracle reports.
does this work with runtime.exec()... ?
does anybody have an example.
any help would be very appreciated.
greetings
Thorsten Lorenz

In order to pass the parameters to report rdf, you can create user parameters in the oracle report builder, hook up the parameters with query. For example, you can create user parameter P_DEPTNO, then create a sql query: select * from dept where deptno = :P_DEPTNO. When you run this report, you give P_DEPTNO=10 as parameter, the rdf will generate report that only prints out department 10's information.
Once you have this kind of report created, you have several ways to achieve what you want.
1. use rwrun60. In your java program, you can invoke rwrun60 via runtime.exec(cmd) where cmd = rwrun60 report=dept.rdf userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname=dept.pdf p_deptno=<value_from_java_app>
2. similarly, use rwcli60. the cmd would be:
cmd = rwcli60 server=repserver report=dept.rdf userid=scott/tiger@orcl destype=file desformat=pdf desname=dept.pdf p_deptno=<value_from_java_app>
3. use rwcgi60. Instead of using runtime.exec, you should use java URL object to run the report in the web environment.
option 2 & 3 takes advantage of powerful functionality of reports server, and it is much more scale than option 1.

Oracle Report and BPEL

Hi,
I had posted this question before and didn't get any response. Those BPEL experts out there, would you be able to help me out, please? I am a novice user.
We are using Oracle BPEL PM 10.1.2.0.2. Is there a way to call an Oracle report from a BPEL process?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
-- DA.

Hi.
I can't give you more details right now, but you could start with the following idea:
Use java embedding activitie in your BPEL process. Assuming that your Oracle Reports is already web enabled, you could do it by using a URL call, passing parameters for batch generation (a pdf for example, in some server directory). Then your web application can access this pdf later.

          Connection con;
          DatabaseMetaData meta;
          String url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@sujeet:1521:ram";
          String user = "scott";
          String password = "tiger";
          DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver());
          con = DriverManager.getConnection(url, user, password);
          Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
          ResultSet rst = stmt.executeQuery("select * from emp");
          meta = con.getMetaData();
          System.out.println("Got Results............");
          System.out.println("DBMS : " + meta.getDatabaseProductName());
          //System.out.println("Version : " + meta.getDatabaseMajorVersion());
          System.out.println("JDBC Driver Name : " + meta.getDriverName());
          System.out.println("JDBC Driver Version : " + meta.getDriverVersion());
          while(rst.next())
               System.out.println(rst.getString(1));
          con.close();
}
