Oracle Reports Generating Incomplete Report

Is it possible for Oracle Reports to generate incomplete report due to persistent caching problem? For example, in the report there is a summary section and details section. When I run the same report with different parameter, some of them will have the details section missing but others are fine.
Here is the URL for requesting the report:
http://172.16.6.222:7790/cgi-bin/rptsrvCgi?report=int_inv_ver.rdf+desformat=HTMLCSS+destype=cache+cmdfile=cmdfile.par+report_name_in=AReport+db_user_in=WUI+output_in=Cache+jobname=AReport+paramform=no+reprint=0+issue=0+master_inv_code_in=1111+child_inv_codes_in=2222
How do I troubleshoot? Any idea?
Thanks.

Hi,
its quite some time ago that I a looked Oracle Reports, however, I think that the event mechanism is quite complex to achieve
I want it to be done within the scope of a single request.
Which means that if Oracle Reports hangs, the user session follows.
As in, the entire process should be complete through one cycle.
Unfortunately you don't control how long reports run, which means that there is no sense in stopping the page lifecycle for this
I don't want to keep a day end sort of procedure that inserts into the db at the end of the day.
Fair enough, but as far as I remember there is an eventing in Reports that would allow you to have the Oracle Reports Server triggering the upload
So I think, the architecture I would go for is:
- user requests report
- report generates PDF output
- reports uploads to DB
- reports_processing table holds user ID and reports ID plus flag to update when report is done
- If using JSF, you could use af:poll to check frequently for the report to be finished.

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

GENERATING ORACLE REPORT IN ADF

Hi,
i need to generate offer letter for student.
an admin will need to generate offer letter of student bases on their intakeId, branchId, degId, and typeofferletter.
currently im doing this in adf form. from here how to transfer the information in adf form into offer letter template and print it in pdf?

Hi,
actually there are two questions in one:
1: How to call an Oracle Reports from ADF?
Answer is to use the Oracle Reports URL to request a report. The data submitted by an ADF form could be passed as URL parameters or - if sensitive information is involved - saved in a temporary table for reports to look it up. Have a look at for an option to download the PDF by referenring the Reports URL http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/apirefs.1111/e12419/tagdoc/af_fileDownloadActionListener.html
2: How to generate PDF from ADF
Jasper Reports, BI Publisher or POI are the options people use for reporting in ADF. Jasper Reports and BI Publisher allow the creation of PDF documents based on form content submitted from ADF

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.

How to generate multiple output pdf's from one oracle reports

I have a report where I have to generate more than one output files from the same report based on a parameter.
Each output file is for each parameter.
Is this possible in oracle reports, is so how ?

You can better post your question in the reports forum instead of this pl/sql forum.

Storing oracle-reports generated pdf-report onto a blob

Hey ppl,
I have this requirement:
I basically generate a report from Jdev using a remote servlet call to oracle reports, which very neatly generates the pdf document for me and stores it locally. The problem is immediately storing this onto the DB as a blob once the report is generated. I know how to store the pdf as a blob onto the DB. I know how to make the call to oracle-reports and generate my pdf. What I don't know is to sequentially first generate the local pdf report and only once that has been generated proceed to store it onto my DB.
I want it to be done within the scope of a single request. As in, the entire process should be complete through one cycle. I don't want to keep a day end sort of procedure that inserts into the db at the end of the day.
As soon as the report has been requested by the user, I want the pdf file(which is generated by the reports) to also be stored onto the DB.
My problem (which i apologize has been repeated already 2wice above) is that I basically lose control once redirected through the servlet to the report call. There is no way i can instruct Jdev, from the reports side, that the pdf has been generated and now has to be stored onto the DB, as i have lost the session context by redirecting to a different servlet.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers

Financial statement generator & Oracle Reports Manager

We are moving into Oracle Apps R12.1.3 on Solaris. Most end user machines are Windows 7 & going to be Windows 8. Some are Windows XP. Majority have Microsoft 2007 and some have Microsoft 2010.
Financial Statement Generator (FSG) reports are called from GL Super user as well as Oracle Reports Manager. Attempt being made to open FSG reports directly in Oracle Reports Manager > Excel with drill down.
Experiencing errors (of VB) , after some patching seeing Blank Excelsheet. Though same FSG report can be open with Values in Oracle Reports Manager > html and pdf.
Any body experienced this in recent past.
Rgds

Hi Hein,
Thanks for the reply and I do have access but apart from standard/customized reports, sometimes users create their own reports using FSGs where they pull GL data (No sub-ledgers) by defining rows and columns and many more features.
For eg: pulling up trial balance report by cost centers
Is there any equivalent of these Financial Statement Generators in SAP.
I was thinking about defining the "Variants" in each report and run variants but then thats not limited to GL, I guess
Thanks in advance....

Oracle Reports - Unable to generate report with colored image in bitmap mod

Hi,
I am using Oracle reports 6i.
I am generating a post script[.ps] file using bitmap mode.
The layout contains an image. The image is stored in oracle database which is colored image.
But when the report is generated same is being generated with gray color.
Could any one advise on resolving this issue? The objective is to generate the report with colored image and not gray or black&white

What kind of images do you have? Reports only supports a few formats, e.g. JFIF. So, if you have JPG images with EXIF meta information in the header, you have to remove those first.
when the report is generated same is being generated with gray color.What happens if you sent the output directly to the printer?
And what happens if you create a PDF file instead of Postscript?

Generated pdf file from oracle reports show bad characters

Hello all,
Iam fighting with a problem with generated pdf file from oracle reports which show some bad characters. I was searching for some information but it didnt help...
I have Oracle Database 11g R2 (or 10g R2) on Oracle Linux or Windows, Oracle forms and reports 6i (i know that is very old and not supported with 11gr2 but we are in this scenario).
NLS parameters are set like this
server:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY AMERICA
NLS_LANGUAGE AMERICAN
client:
NLS_CHARACTERSET EE8MSWIN1250
NLS_TERRITORY SLOVAK
NLS_LANGUAGE SLOVAKIA
When I run Oracle Reports it show perfect in display and when I try to print them, they are all good with good characters, but when I try to generate pdf file, some characters like č,š,ľ are not displaying corectly... This happen only when try to generate to pdf...
I try to work with uifont.ali on client side but without any result. Fonts for reports were installed on client and server side... Can someone help me with this problem? Thank you very much for every advice.
Martin

Hi Sergiusz,
Thank you for your reply. I look at what you wrote and try to make some test...
1) For first I download FontForge, which can generate type1 font from true type. So I open FontForge and open my Arial.ttf font and use "Generate Fonts" to save my Arial.ttf font to pfb and pfm (whoch are need to set in uifont.ali). I have to change encoding, because my font has 2byte encoding so I reecondode the font from ISO10646-1 to ISO8859-2 and generate to pfb.
2) Then I navigate REPORTS_PATH from regedit to my *.pfm and *.pfb files.
3) I add these lines to end of my uifont.ali
[ PDF:Embed ]
Arial = "Arial.pfm Arial.pfb"
ArialNarrow = "ArialNarrow.pfm ArialNarrow.pfb"
4) Then I generate my report but nothing change... I check "Font used" in my pdf file, but there were not my fonts embedded I guess..
I also try PDF:Subset, but it doesnt change anything... I try PDF aliasing to see if my uifont is working - this work very well, but I dont need to change font...
Any other advice? Thank you so much to everyone!

For Persian Language show wrong (generated by Oracle Report Server)

Hi,
When Oracle Report Server (10.1.2) Generate PDF output show persian characters wrong.
persian language(Use in Iran , Azarbayjan , Tajikestan ,... ) has 4 characters more than Arabic (cp1256) . this 4 characters is (پ ,ژ,گ,ج) .
when come (this characters ) in duration word appear a space between word.
for example word is پشتو But show in PDF پ شتو .
in HTML format we don't has this problem only accrue in PDF output .
This Persian characters :
U 067E PEH
U 0686 TCHEH
U 0698 JEH
U 06A9 KEHEH
then now i dont know this problem related to Oracle report server or Acrobat Reader viewer ?
when we copy پ شتو of Arcobat reader and paste to windows notepad show correctly (پشتو ).
i think this is relare to /Encoding /WinAnsiEncoding insite pdf file becouse :
Windows code page 1252(Arabic encoding) but Persian is 1256 , often called the “Windows ANSI”
encoding. This is the standard Windows encoding for Latin text in
western European languages.
Please help me how i can solve this problem ASAP.

hello,

Programmatically change the query used to generate Oracle Reports

I have two queries. Depending on some parameter value, I would like to use one of these queries to generate my report. Is it possible to programmatically change the SQL query used to generate the Oracle Report.
Thanks

There are two options:
- The easy way
In the report paper layout create two frames, one for each query , and at runtime
display only one based on your parameters. (using format triggers on the frames)
- the not so easy way (but more elegant)
create the query at runtime using xml customizations using the examples from
the following documentation:
http://download-
uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_xml.htm#i1006734
