Oracle Reports API example implementations

I have found the Oracle Reports Java API @ http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/docs/Javadocs/index.html
and have also found some examples utilising this API @
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/apis/
On this page some of the links are not active to other tutorials/examples
Does anyone know if these links 'exist' and if so how to access these or any other examples that would be useful in developing a Java app that will utilise Oracle 9iAS Reports Services ?
cheers

Discoverer 4.1.37 exporting to Oracle Reports

The documentation for installing Discoverer says to install the Oracle Reports API to export to Oracle Reports, but it is not on the Discoverer CD. Is the Reports API in another distribution, and which is the version I need with Discoverer 4.1.37?
Thanks,
Tom

This is a known 'challenge' on the ol' 4.x and before version of Disco where Disco needs the default Oracle home and doesn't expect anybody else to be camping on it.
Since Michael's already got the instructions on his site, I won't go over them again - and I'm sure he's given good instructions.
As for the steps involved in installing Disco 4.1.68.06:
1. find the software (metalink, otn, etc).
2. realize it doesn't exist
3. get mad as you'll think Oracle screwed up
4. realize that there is NO version 4.1.68.06
5. be embarrassed!
OK, kidding, but the version you most likely are talking about is: 4.1.48.06. Also, there is one final, final, no more, we ain't coming out with another version, version. That's 4.1.48.08.
Assuming you already have a version such as: 4.1.36 or 4.1.47, etc. you can get old patches, upgrades, etc. by checking metalink. Note that in some cases (ie: maybe 4.1.48.08) you have to put in a TAR with Oracle (and go through the usual "we don't support that version anymore" discussion with them).

PS. By the way, I worked in SA for about 3 1/2 years many, many moons ago (multiple places like Jeddah, Riyadh, Taif, etc.). Where's Jabail?

Reports Security API - example

Hello!
Has anyone tried to use Reports Server Security API? Where I can find an example?
Thanks!

It is not available yet. White paper and examples about security API will be published on OTN:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/apis/
Currently you can find examples for data source and destination.

Oracle Reports Java API link Error

The Oracle Reports Java API link on the Oracle Reports page produces an error.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/docs/index.html

1) In Oracle Reports *10g*, Reports services are exposed as a webservice. Though it does not contain all possible actions, you can use it to run report, get job info and some other operations . [ Other than this there is no exposed java API yet ]
Please see chapter 14
"Using the Oracle Reports Web Service"
in http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/B10314_01/toc.htm

OK, I did this once and did not follow the oracle docs
If you saved your targets.xml before you started you might save it by renaming it back.
(Double check to make sure you did not miss a rename)
Otherwise, all I have to offer is my rough notes:
1. Backup the file $ORACLE_HOME/sysman/emd/targets.xml.
[oracle@ias02 emd]$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle/product/midtier/sysman/emd
cp targets.xml targets.xmlbackup
2. Modify the file targets.xml by changing all the occurrences of the wrong reports server name by the correct one.
i.e. Replace rep_test_midtier with rep_new (4 places - changes)
Copy the conf file as follows: ( this will named different from system to system )
cp /u01/app/oracle/product/midtier/reports/conf/rep_pia_oracleas.conf /u01/app/oracle/product/midtier/reports/conf/rep_fam.conf
run this script:
/u01/app/oracle/product/midtier/bin/addNewServerTarget.sh rep_fam          (change rep_fam to new report server name)
3.Update the changed configuration .
/u01/app/oracle/product/midtier/dcm/bin/dcmctl updateconfig -ct opmn -v -d
/u01/app/oracle/product/midtier/dcm/bin/dcmctl resyncinstance -v -d
4. Restart the Application Server Control Console
/u01/app/oracle/product/midtier/bin/emctl stop iasconsole
/u01/app/oracle/product/midtier/bin/emctl start iasconsole
In the file:
/u01/app/oracle/product/midtier/reports/config/reportsConfig.properties
Change the Reports_Server_Name setting from rep_test_midtier to rep_fam (change rep_fam to new report server name)
Best Wishes (I was able to save mime)
The other option is to reinstall

Incorporate Bar Code in Oracle Reports

Hi,
I want to incorporate Bar code font in character based oracle reports.Kindly let me know how to go about implementing it.Secondly is there any site from where i can download the bar code fonts freely.Also does Oracle provide Barcode fonts for Oracle Reports.
Thanks in advance
Deepak

hello,
from your question i understand that you want to create a barcode in a character mode report. this will be very difficult as it requires the destination printer to be able to print barcodes. a barcode font will not help here, as charactermode reports do not leverage fonts other than ones available in the printer.
usually it is more to creating a barcode than just printing the value in barcode font. most barcodes need special algorithms to create chechsums and similar stuff.
you might want to look into our barcode example that shows you how to use a java bean to generate a barcode.
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/BarcodeBeanPaper/index.html
oracle does neither ship barcodefonts nor java beans to generate barcodes for production purposes. the supplied sampels are for demo purposes only. however there are several commercially available fonts as well as javabeans on the market.
regards,
philipp

How to Run Oracle Reports from the web.

How can we run Oracle Reports from the web - for example from a portal such as "Gateway"
This is a univeristy that implements Banner - so can we run them from within Banner?

Yes, of course. And for running the reports-server you need an OAS. Maybe here is a good starting point http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html

Oracle Reports Font Standardization

We need to make our Oracle database and applications Unicode compliant. To do this we have decided to use the UTF8 character set. The NLS_LANG Oracle registry string can be set to use UTF8.
We have decided to use the Andale font. This means the data items in all our forms and reports need to be set to use the Andale font.
With Oracle Forms, a property class can be used but with Oracle Reports I'm not sure how this can be implemented so the font for all our pre-existing reports can be changed in one place. Oracle reports does not have property classes like Forms does. You can create a Reports template that can be selected from the Reports Wizard before the layout is generated but as far as I can tell that would require regenerating the layout for every report every time a font change is required. I don't want to do that I just want to have it changed from a reference like Forms has with the property class that can be inherited.
Do you know how Oracle Reports works in this regard? Is there a clean way to set up Oracle Reports so the font for all data items can be changed in one place or will I have to manually change it for every desired item in every report? There is also the possibility of creating a custom Oracle registry string for font and using that but I don't know if that is a good idea.

Hello,
If Cyrillic or any other locale served by a single-byte font is the only requirement, then it is easier to achieve success. You can use UTF8 in your database, and use the appropriate single-byte character set in your Reports environment (e.g., Windows 1251 for Cyrillic). There are still issues that may need to be resolved - for example, Reports doesn't generate the corresponding IANA characterset marking at the beginning of the HTML file, nor put the specific codepage marking at the beginning of the RTF file to force the respective applications to use the correct codepage if it isn't the user's default. But most of the issues are pretty straightforward to remedy in one fashion or another.
In general, to get past a wealth of issues today (e.g., availability of fonts, performance, issues with graphs, printer drivers), it's generally easier to set up multiple web/application server environments, each one dedicated to serve a particular locale or range of locales (e.g., Western European). This can be front-ended by a generic servlet that senses the user's browser settings, and redirects to the appropriate environment.
Note for Reports 9i, we've rev'ed up to PDF 1.3 format, and provide support for font embedding and subsetting, and also multibyte support via the 4 Asian font packs that Adobe offers as options for the Acrobat Reader.
There are other locale-specific and multi-locale improvements to Reports 9i, too. But a pure UNICODE web/application server environment will remain a challenge to implement for a few awhile, yet.

Calling Oracle Reports from stored procedures

Hi ,
Can anybody tell me whether this is possible and if so, how it can be done. Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Deepa

Oracle Forms allows you to easily integrate Oracle Reports into your
applications. However, on the Macintosh, it is not possible to use
the normal Oracle Reports runtime to generate ASCII text files. In
order to allow ASCII text files to be generated with Oracle Reports
on the Macintosh, the Reports<TEXT> Runtime applications was
developed. This version of the runtime only allows you to generate
text files and should not be used for other purposes.
While the Reports<TEXT> Runtime application has been provided, there
is no built in integration with Forms. This bulletin explains a
method which you can use integrate these two applications with little
effort. In order to use this method, you will need the following
items installed on your computer:
* Oracle Forms 4.0
* Oracle Reports 2.0
* Oracle Command 1.0
* AppleScript 1.1. This is available as part of the Macintosh
Operating System version 7.5 as well as with certain 3rd party
applications.
Because the only way to use the Reports<TEXT> Runtime application is
through Oracle Command, we will be using Oracle Command to run the
Reports<TEXT> Runtime application. However, we need some way to
communicate with Oracle Command which report we would like to run and
what parameters we would like to pass in to Reports. To accomplish
this goal, an AppleScript application will be used. Forms can use
AppleEvents (Apple's method for inter-application communication) to
communicate with this AppleScript application which can then create
an Oracle Command script file to run. So, the summary of events
which will take place are as follows:
1. Forms dynamically creates a command line to run the
Reports<TEXT> Runtime application.
2. Using AppleEvents, Forms communicates this command line to the
AppleScript application which writes out an Oracle Command
script file.
3. The AppleScript application communicates with Oracle Command and
tells it to run the script which it just created.
4. Oracle Command runs the script which invokes the Reports<TEXT>
Runtime application.
1. Creating the AppleScript Application
The core of this solution is the AppleScript Application. While it
is not necessary for you to be familiar with AppleScript, it will
help tremendously in your understanding of how everything works.
Here we provide you with an AppleScript which provides the
functionality we need to implement our procedure.
Note: This AppleScript is designed to work with the Macintosh
Operating System version 7.5. It should work with earlier
versions of the Operating System, but no guarantees are
made. Furthermore, there are known problems with the version
of AppleScript provided with version 7.1.2 of the Operating
System which will cause your machine to crash when this
script is executed. These problems with AppleScript were
corrected for the version 7.5 release of the Operating System.
-- This AppleScript Application is responsible for being a
-- "go-between" between Oracle Forms and Oracle Command. It is
-- responsible for both dynamically creating Oracle Command script
-- files and disposing of these files.
-- NOTE: This AppleScript Application was written for the Macintosh
-- Operating System version 7.5. It has not been tested
-- on any other version of the Macintosh Operating
-- System.

-- The syntax "on <<...>> args" is how you setup an AppleScript to
-- accept AppleEvents.
-- Be careful, the << and >> characters are option-\ and option-|
-- respectively. They are not two less-than signs and two
-- greater-than signs.
on <<event R20Trunt>> cmdScript
-- First, let's construct a, hopefully, unique file name
set dt to ((current date) as string)
set hr to (word 5 of dt)
set mn to (word 6 of dt)
set sec to (word 7 of dt)
set fName to (hr * 3600 + mn * 60 + sec as string)
-- For this example, we will put all dynamically constructed
-- script files onto the desktop.
set tFold to (path to desktop)
set fName to (tFold & "tmp." & fName as string)
-- set up a mnemonic for the Return character
set cr to (ASCII character 13)
try
-- open our Oracle Command script file
-- The sequence <opt-l> at the end of the following line
-- should be type in as an option-l (that is, a lowercase L).
set fRef to (open for access file fName with write <opt-l>
permission)
-- Now, write the Oracle Command command line which was
-- passed to us via AppleEvents.
-- The sequence <opt-l> at the end of the following line
-- should be type in as an option-l (that is, a lowercase L).
write (cmdScript & cr) starting at <opt-l>
((get eof fRef) + 1) to fRef
-- Now we have to also ask Oracle Command to let us know
-- when it is finished with the script file we are
-- creating. Basically, we are asking Oracle Command to
-- use AppleEvents to let us know when to throw away the
-- file we are creating
-- The sequence <opt-l> at the end of the following lines
-- should be type in as an option-l (that is, a lowercase L).
write ("host SENDAE aplt R20T remv ---- t \"" & fName <opt-l>
& "\";" as string) starting at <opt-l>
((get eof fRef) + 1) to fRef
-- close the Oracle Command script file
close access fRef
-- Now that we have setup the temporary file,
-- tell Oracle Command to execute it.
tell application "Oracle Command 1.0"
runscript fName
end tell
-- You can put some error handling here if you'd like.
end try
end <<event R20Trunt>>
-- This is the AppleEvent handler to clean up when we are done. It
-- simply throws the temp file into the trash can.
-- Be careful, the << and >> characters are option-\ and option-|
-- respectively. They are not two less-than signs and two
-- greater-than signs.
on <<event R20Tremv>> fName
tell application "Finder"
move (fName as alias) to (path to trash)
end tell
end <<event R20Tremv>>
2. Setting Up Forms
It is useful to setup a PL/SQL Program Unit to hide the details
behind running the Text Runtime. Here is a suggested PL/SQL Program
Unit for you to use:
-- The following procedure is used to hide some of the details in
-- using the AppleScript Application. It accepts 4 arguments:
-- * The report name
-- * The name of the output file
-- * The parameters you would like to pass in. These need to be
-- formatted just as if you were calling reports from a
-- command line.
-- * A connect string for Reports<TEXT> Runtime to connect with.
procedure run_text_report (
rName in char,
oName in char,
params in char,
cString in char) is
cLine varchar2(1000);
begin
cLine := 'execute r20text module='| |rname;
cLine := cLine | | ' userid='| |cString;
cLine := cLine | | ' paramform=no batch=yes';
cLine := cLine | | ' destype=file desname='| |oname;
cLine := cLine | | ' desformat=dflt.prt '| |params| |';';
host('SENDAE aplt R20T runt ---- t "'| |cLine| |'"');
-- NOTE: in the above host() command, the series of quotes at the
-- end reads as follows: double-quote, single-quote, vertical
-- bar, vertical bar, the word cLine, vertical bar, vertical
-- bar, single-quote, double-quote, single-quote.
end;
Here is an example of how I can use the above procedure. In a
WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger, I might have:
declare
reportName varchar2(16);
outputName varchar2(64);
paramVals varchar2(64);
connectStr varchar2(16);
begin
-- We want to run the report named "myreport". The output from this
-- report should go into a file named "output.txt" located in the
-- "Reports" directory on my hard drive. This report accepts two
-- parameters: p_start_date and p_end_date. The connect string for
-- the database I am using is simply "scott/tiger"
-- Setup some variables to hold all the information I want to pass
-- in to run_text_report(). This information is put into variables
-- for readability.
reportName := 'myreport';
outputName := 'HD:Reports:output.txt';
paramVals := 'p_start_date=''01-MAR-95'' p_end_date=''31-MAR-95''';
connectStr := 'scott/tiger';
-- Run the report
run_text_report(reportName, outputName, paramVals, connectStr);
end;
3. Putting the pieces together
In order for this solution to function, you need to make sure that
both your AppleScript application and Oracle Command are running when
you make a call to run_text_report(). It is possible for you to
launch Oracle Command from within Oracle Forms with the following
line of code:
host('LAUNCHID oBTL');
If you place the above line of code in a WHEN-NEW-FORM trigger, you
can assure that Oracle Command will be running when your form is
launched.
It is also possible for you to have Oracle Forms launch your
AppleScript application. However, in order for you to do this, you
need to be very familiar with the Macintosh Operating System, how to
change the creator type of a file, and know what effects that change
can produce. If you do not know how to change the creator type of
your AppleScript application or are not comfortable doing so, you
should simply document that your users need to make sure to launch
your AppleScript application before trying to use your Form.
However, if you know how to change the creator type of your
AppleScript application and are comfortable doing so, here are the
steps you will need to take to have Oracle Forms launch your
AppleScript application for you:
* Change the creator type of your AppleScript application to
something unique.
* Modify the run_text_report() procedure. You need to change the
four character sequence "aplt" found in the host() command to the
new creator type of your AppleScript application.
* Add the line host('LAUNCHID <your new creator type>'); to your
WHEN-NEW-FORM trigger or to whichever trigger you placed the
host('LAUNCHID oBTL'); statement.
There is one significant difference between RUN_PRODUCT and this
solution. With RUN_PRODUCT, you have the option of specifying
whether or not the call should be synchronous or asynchronous.
However, the call to run_text_report() will always be asynchronous.

How to execute this statement from oracle reports

have to use the following command from oracle reports.
In oracle forms we can use the HOST command but what about oracle reports2.5.
I have to email the attached file 100245.pdf from oracle reports to the given email id
uuencode 100245.pdf 100245.pdf | mailx -s "test" [email protected]

> u can execute any exe using host that host must contain a bat file
Incorrect. There is no HOST command in PL/SQL.
And please note that this is the Database » SQL and PL/SQL forum - and not the Oracle Forms or SQL*Plus forum.
Also, when using the SQL*Plus HOST command for example, you can execute any executable and not just a BAT file. SQL*Plus on Windows uses the Win32 API call CreateProcess() - and it has no limits as to what/which executable can be executed.

Grouping in rtf template like oracle reports - a newbie question

Hello all
I am new to BI Publisher and have probablly a silly question to ask.
I have a basic query that returns a flat xml file which looks something like this. it will have multiple rows.
<ROWSET>
<ROW num="1">
<DATE>01-DEC-2007</DATE>
<PACKAGE>XXX </PACKAGE>
<DROP_OFF>Hotel1</DROP_OFF>
<ROOM>1</ROOM>
<NAME>Test Customer</NAME>
<PROBLEM_RECORDED>N</PROBLEM_RECORDED>
<EXCEPTION>1</EXCEPTION>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
Because i am fairly new to xml i am at a loss trying to work out how i can form a template that will effectively allow grouping at say
1. Date Level
2. Package Level
3.Drop Off level
4. put all other data in here
In reports i would just do groups and alter the layout accordingly. Obviously if i had an oracle report version of the sql that generates the xml then i could just generate the xml from the report and i would get the xml i am looking for .
But I am working with basic sql not reports and am wondering What do I have to do with my xml to get it looking live the grouping I mention above, given all i have to play with is the example xml I included. I am really bamboozled and think i am missing something simple.
I dont want to have to write multiple queries with different groupings using cast , multiset as I thought one of the benefits of BI Publisher was one query multiple layouts.
Thanks
Lisa

If you haev word plugin installed,
please follow the documentation and try using that,
load the xml in the word plugin
and then select insert table/form and then you can do the drag and drop,
and group by each fields.

Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?

Hi ,
Can we use Dynamic SQL in Oracle Reports ?
If yes please give some examples .
Thanx
srini

I believe the built-in package SRW.Do_Sql is what you are looking for
Example from the document:
/* Suppose you want to create a "table of contents" by getting the
** first character of a columns value, and page number on which its
** field fires to print. Assume that you want to put the "table of
contents"
** into a table named SHIP. You could write the following construct:
DECLARE
PAGE_NO NUMBER;
PAGE_FOR INDEX NUMBER;
SORT_CHAR CHAR(1);
CMD_LINE CHAR(200);
BEGIN
SORT_CHAR := :SORT_NAME ;
IF :CALLED = Y THEN
     SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_FOR_INDEX);
     SRW.USER_EXIT(RWECOP PAGE_FOR_INDEX
     P_START_PAGENO);
     SRW.MESSAGE(2,TO_CHAR(:P_START_PAGENO));
END IF;
SRW.GET_PAGE_NUM(PAGE_NO);
CMD_LINE := INSERT INTO SHIP VALUES
                      (||SORT_CHAR||,||TO_CHAR(PAGE_NO)||);
SRW.MESSAGE(2,CMD_LINE);
SRW.DO_SQL(CMD_LINE);
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN DUP_VAL_ON_INDEX THEN
        NULL;
WHEN SRW.DO_SQL_FAILURE THEN
        SRW.MESSAGE(1,FAILED TO INSERT ROW INTO SHIP TABLE);
WHEN OTHERS THEN
       COMMIT;
END;

ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - query - If statement in Alias ?

I have the following select statement. It has the alias Survivors, Deaths and "All
With the ORACLE reports Build 10g - Data Model - I have the following query statement. I require the alias to change. Can the following be done.
Cases". Is it posible to use :P_LANGUAGE variable to say that -- IF :P_LANGUAGE = FRENCH THEN alias are Survivants for survivors, Décès for Deaths, Tous_les_cas for All Cases. Please advise
SELECT ALL T_NTR_MULTIBAR.CAT, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_LEFTBAR AS Survivors,
T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_MIDDLEBAR AS Deaths, T_NTR_MULTIBAR.NUM_CASES_RIGHTBAR AS "All Cases"
FROM T_NTR_MULTIBAR
WHERE INSTANCE_NUM = :P_INSTANCENUM
order by ORDERS

It is no problem, you can automatically change the complete query before the report is running, which delivers you different kind of values. But the alias names does not change in the group of the data-model, although two query are running with different alias names at different times. In the data model you see the alias names of the first implemented select statement, which are the column fields in the layout.

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.
