Oracle support format object processor?

I want to create a pdf web report using pl/sql backend procedure. My procedure return the xml document which
using formatting tags(<fo:..>)
Is it possible to develop this using xsql or
any xml technologies. Is Oracles supporting Format object processing in their xdk?
thanks in advance

Could you further clarify what do you try to achieve?

Using Formatting Objects Processor ....

Нi All!
I have a data stored in my DB in UTIF-8. I' m using Formatting Objects Processor to transform Oracle APEX 2.2.report output into PDF document.
It's a dust on the screen after loading my report in Adobe Photoshop. The text on the screen in CP1251. It's realy dust.
Excuse me for my bad English...
Нow to solve problem ?
Any ideas...
Thanks,
Roman

Hi Roman,
Excuse me for my bad English...Your English is far better than my attempts at a foreign language are.
However I'm not sure what you mean by this -
It's realy dust.Can you try and explain it in other words?

PDFs Using Formatting Objects Processor

I'm having problems rendering pdf documents using FOP as detailed in your document 'Rendering Oracle HTML DB Reports as PDFs Using Formatting Objects Processor'.
When I call the pdf_GrabXML to send the XML report output to the htmldb_fop_render.jsp file I get the following error:
OracleJSP: oracle.jsp.provider.JspCompileException:
Errors compiling:/opt/oracle/midtier/9.0.4/j2ee/home/application-deployments/default/defaultWebApp/persistence/_pages//_htmldb__fop__render.java

96 [jsp src:line #:47] cannot resolve symbol symbol : variable Driver location: class htmldb_fop__render driver.setRenderer(Driver.RENDER_PDF);
NOTE:
We did not have a oc4j directory under $ORACLE_HOME. We have, therefore, placed htmldb_fob_render.jsp and htmldb_example.xslt in the following directory: $ORACLE_HOME/2jee/home/default-web-app. The var g_Render_URL in javascript file (htmldb_pdf.js) was modified to http://<host name>:<port>/j2ee/htmldb_fop_render.jsp.

Kris,
I placed the three jar files into the $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/default-web-app/WEB-INF/lib directory (recall that I don't have a oc4j directory) and I changed the library entries in the application.xml file to point to this directory. The htmldb_pdf.js now seems to find the jar files but I now get an error that indicates I'm not able to make a connection:

QUESTIONS:
1. Should I place all jar files in the $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/default-web-app/WEB-INF/lib directory . . . there are several jar files that are not referenced in the application.xml file.
2. Should the port number that is defined in the htmldb_pdf.js and htmldb_fop_render.jsp files be the HTTP Server Listener port.
Thanks,
David

Any ideas why this is happening?
M

Looks like the libraries or at least the Driver class used by FOP is not accessible.
What's in fop.war -- it is fully self contained where the dependent libraries are in web-inf/lib or is it expecting them to be provided outside of the application?
Where'd you get fop.war from, I can take a look and see.

What time Oracle Spatial Can support text object

Hi:
I want know what time oracle spatial can support text object. it is very useful for
GIS and LBS customer.
null

Hi,
I think it is an interesting idea, but there are difficulties when implementing such objects in the database level. For one thing, the placement, orientation of text for a point geometry is often dependent on point geometries stored in other rows in order to acheive an optimal and non-overlapping placement. It also depends on the font and size of the text, as well as the scale and level of detail when visualizing the spatial data. Such contextual information is only available to an application. I hope I understood you correctly and if you have further comments I would like to hear them too.

Updated Oracle Outside In Technology Supported Formats

Hello -
I'm looking for an updated copy of the Oracle Outside In Technology 8.3.7 Supported Formats PDF. The one located at the following location http://www.oracle.com/us/products/database/ds-oitfiles-133032.pdf does not include Outlook 2010. Is this an oversite and there is an updated PDF available?
Thanks!

Thank for the update.
But I know this link and I searched there for Outside In Technology. No match.
I did try the obvious things, else I wouldn't ask here.
And what about the broken download ? Does nobody from Oracle read this ? Or does nobody care ? Does anyone know where I can mail the broken link ?

Oracle XSQL Servlet Page Processor 0.9.9.1 (Technology Preview)

Can SQL Developer be used for Oracle Support "HTML Output" Diag Scripts ?

Hi All,
Oracle Support has asked me to run a diagnostic script (OTL_Diag.sql for anyone familar with the script) that produces output in HTML format using SQL*Plus to help troubleshoot an OTL problem we are having. Unfortunately I don't have SQL*Plus installed and my company is not on board with me installing it because of the SQL*NET connection required. Instead I have access to SQL Developer 3.1.0.7. While this works fine for most situations I'm having problems generating the required .html output file that Support needs.
I've tried runing the OTL_Diag.sql a couple of ways using SQL Developer. First, I opened the file from SQL Developer and using the Run Script functionality (F5) I executed the code that way. This method did give me an opportunity to input the necessary parms and it did create the 'start' of the HTML file on my (Windows) file system, but the script seemed to abort with a java error that indicated some sort of format error (sorry, I'm not a java person so I can't provide any more info, but I'll be glad to get the exact error message if anyone thinks that will help solve my issue).
My second approach was to open a SQL Window where I typed in @C:\OTL_Diag.sql without quotes. This approach also gave me the opportunity to enter the necessary input parms and it seemed to end normally. It also created the 'start' of the diaganostic output file on my Windows file system, but it 'completed' before any of the 'real' diaganostic output was written to the .html file.
The Metalink note clearly specifies that the OTL_Diag.sql script is to be run with SQL*Plus 10.2 or above so I don't think I can complain too loudly to Oracle about this...but given that I don't have access to this product (and it is useless for me to again ask to install it) I am hoping someone out there has some ideas or insight as to how I can use SQL Developer to execute this diag script in a manner that will produce the required .html output file.
Thanks in advance to anyone taking time to read my post !!
Jeff

As a result, at this point in time my only available tool to run the OTL_Diag.sql script (provided by Oracle Support) is SQL Developer
>
Then you will have to edit the script, break it into pieces, execute each piece manually and save the output to feed into the next piece as required based on what the script is actually doing. Don't post the script or contents as that will likely violate your support agreement.
As I already mentioned the script may be using syntax and/or commands that are simply not supported by sql*developer. One likely area is the script may be producing intermediate output scripts that are then processed by a later portion of the script. If that is the case then my suggestion to execute the pieces manually should work but you will need to do some trial-and-error to see.
Even if you appear to be successful you will still have an issue when you communicate the results of your 'test' to Oracle support and they determine you didn't follow their instructions to use the proper tool.
Sounds like your management is either ignorant or incompetent so I suggest you cover yourself by documentating the instructions from Oracle support and the direct orders you were given to disregard those instructions. No need to discuss that issue further but clearly there are resources available somewhere in the org that has the proper privileges or they wouldn't be able to maintain and support the database. If they want to pay for support they should heed their advice. Nuff said.

Selling on Oracle support services

Hi Everyone
My name is Ajit. I'm new to this forum. Infact I'm new on the Oracle Technology. I've just joined a company which provides support services on Oracle technology. We focus on RDBMS right now and we are also an Oracle Partner.
I'd like to know how do I develop myself in the field of Business Development for Oracle support services. I'd like to know which magazines, newsletters, websites, forums etc. I need to visit to serve my existing clients better and to generate new clients.
Would really appreciate if you could help me on this one.
Feels great to join the Oracle community.
Ajit.

Hi Kai.
Thanks for clarifying the requirement and passing this on. I believe that you cannot currently add new warning messages to Fusion HCM SaaS.
Adding a new validation and resulting pop-up message would require either (a) ADF adjustments in JDev and an app redeploy or (b) Application Composer to add an object trigger/groovy script. Obviously there is no backend development for Fusion SaaS and App Composer is available for CRM products currently. I couldn't find anyway the standard Page Composer could have the capability to add new validation logic to the UI.
As you already mentioned in the other thread, if a validation and FND message already exists at that point, the text can be customized via the Manage Messages page in the FSM task.
Kind regards,
Richard

Import a shape file to oracle spatial format within an oracle pl/sql proced

hi,
My task is to import an esri sde shape file to oracle sdo format within pl/sql procedure.
i am using oracle 10g, arcgis 9 and arcsdo, geometry type is line, please anyone could help how can i achieve this task, would be very thankful
Best Regards,

There are no "in database" tools around that do this AFAIK. Most/all tools are external to the database and have to be invoked externally.
If you created an external "batch file" that did the right processing, you would still have to work out how to execute this batch file from within Oracle. AFAIK the standard method is to use create custom code that uses DBMS_PIPE to communicate with the operating system to execute the batch file. DBAs hate this approach and it does require programming.
The other method could be to write a trivial piece of Java that when passed the full path to the batch file executes the file. You would then load the compiled Java class into the Oracle JVM and then create a simple PL/SQL wrapper around it. I can't do it at the moment, but can come back with the code and instructions later on in the week.
<SHAMELESS PLUG>
As an aside (it seems appropriate to mention this now), I have been developing tools that do run inside the Oracle JVM an can export Oracle data (including sdo_geometry) to a number of formats:
* xSV (ie comma separated, tab separated, any other single character)
* Excel Spreadsheet
* ESRI Shapefile (including the writing of the PRJ file using a user supplied PRJ string and also I write a MapInfo TAB file to "wrap" the shapefile).
When exporting to xSV or Excel Spreadsheet one can chose to encode the SDO_GEOMETRY data as GML or WKT.
(I am working on a KML exporter as well.)
However, note that these tools EXPORT data and do not IMPORT data.
The tools, currently are running in production at a customer site (tabbed shapefile export option) and work well. Export jobs are defined and given to the Oracle JOB or SCHEDULER and correctly run at the appropriate time writing the data to an operating system directory defined internally (with appropriate permissions) as an Oracle Directory object.
I am now considering selling the exporter tool and am looking for testers. (The pricing of these tools will be exceedingly low.)
</SHAMELESS PLUG>
Now, while I hadn't planned to write any importer for a shapefile for my Exporter, I might consider it if you get stuck and can't find a satisfactory tool.

Simon

Harry, Why won't Portal Developers Support Oracle Support???

I just got off the phone with Oracle support and the response is
that they can't provide assistance on my TAR because the portal
developers won't give them the info. Why?
All I have been asking for are the columns/tables in PORTAL30
and/or PORTAL30_SSO that store the page name (and display name),
owner, etc. for each page, content area, application, etc. This
way I can more easily generate a script to do the page/content
area exports/imports instead of going through the navigator and
clicking edit on each object. And how about a data model like
Apps offers its users -- surely one exists so why not share it?
Bob

I'm using this procedure to list all my pages. For now I just
run this in Portal and copy/paste it into an export dos-batch
script which exports all the specified pages. Later I will
update the procudure so that it generates the export script
automatically.
Create or Replace PROCEDURE SUPPORT.DUMP_PAGES
as
CURSOR page_cur IS
SELECT NAME
FROM PORTAL30.WWPOB_PAGE$
WHERE CREATED_BY='USERNAME';
begin
FOR page IN page_cur
LOOP
-- Syntax I need in my export script...
htp.p('call E:\support_dump\dump_page.bat ' ||
page.name || '<BR>');
END LOOP;
htp.p('<P>');
FOR page IN page_cur
LOOP
-- Syntax I need in my importt script...
htp.p('call E:\support_dump\imp_page.bat ' ||
page.name || '<BR>');
END LOOP;
end;

JMF with Fobs4jmf: Problem getting supported formats

I'm trying to use JMF with fobs4jmf to try stitching together video files into a single file. Fortunately, I found a sample program to do just that in the SDN website (http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/media/jmf/2.1.1/solutions/Concat.html).
I copied and pasted the Concat.java class in a new Eclipse Java class, set up the classpaths, and tested it. (I've gone through the pain of setting up and resetting classpaths so that the JMF diagnostics is able to detect the correct JMF installation in my machine).
However, in the tryMatch method of Concat.java, I am getting an empty array of Format objects, represented by the "supported" variable, during a call to the following:
{color:#0000ff}TrackControl tc = pInfo[0].tracksByType[type][trackID].tc;
Format origFmt = tc.getFormat();
Format newFmt, oldFmt;
Format supported[] = tc.getSupportedFormats();
for (int i = 0; i < supported.length; i++) {
if (supported[i] instanceof AudioFormat) {
// If it's not the original format, then for audio, we'll
// only do linear since it's more accurate to compute the
// audio times.
if (!supported.matches(tc.getFormat()) &&
!supported[i].getEncoding().equalsIgnoreCase(AudioFormat.LINEAR))
continue;
{color:#000000}Here's my problem: While on debug mode, I see that the "supported" variable shows an empty array, when I look deeper in the TrackControl tc variable and look the its supportedFormats instance variable, I can see that it has a value. For my testing, I used a .mov file and the supportedFormats variable contains an {color:#0000ff}AudioFormat{color} with the value {color:#0000ff}mp4a, 32000.0 Hz, 16-bit, Stereo, BigEndian, Signed, FrameSize=32 bits{color}.
{color}
{color:#000000}I can't get past through this hurdle for now. Why am I getting an empty array of Format objects when the TrackControl tc variable actually contains value in its supportedFormats property?
I'd appreciate any help on this matter.
Anthony
{color}
{color}

I again don't have my code in front of me, but I did take a look at the sample code my code is based on...
Format format = tracks.getFormat();
if (tracks[i].isEnabled()) {
supported = tracks[i].getSupportedFormats();
Just a shot in the dark, but perhaps getSupportedFormats returns the empty set when the TrackControl object is disabled?
Try enabling the TrackControl before you try to get its supported formats, and see if that changes the behavior in any sort of meaningful way?

Does Oracle support this........

Warning: Unknown formatting object ^html

Hi,
I am trying to convert an .fo file into PDF format using a servlet. The code compiled, but when I try to run the servlet it gives me the following warning:
Unknown formatting object ^html
Exception in transformation: null
and does not create the pdf file.
The line: 'driver.buildFOTree(parser, in);' seems to be the problem.
Here is the code ('in' is the .fo file):
XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
Driver driver = new Driver();
driver.setRenderer("org.apache.fop.render.pdf.PDFRenderer",
               Version.getVersion());
driver.addElementMapping               ("org.apache.fop.fo.StandardElementMapping");
driver.addElementMapping("org.apache.fop.svg.SVGElementMapping");
driver.addPropertyList               ("org.apache.fop.fo.StandardPropertyListMapping");
driver.addPropertyList               ("org.apache.fop.svg.SVGPropertyListMapping");
driver.buildFOTree(parser, in);
driver.format();
driver.setWriter(new PrintWriter(new FileWriter("new_file.pdf")));
driver.render();
out.flush();
Does anyone know what might be the problem here?
Thanks in advance!
Elena.

I see - the other part of the code that is converting an xml file into an .fo file converted it into an .html file instead.
public void doGet( HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response ) throws ServletException, IOException {
System.setProperty("javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory",
"org.apache.xalan.processor.TransformerFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory",
"org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.SaxParserFactory",
"xorg.apache.xerces.jaxp.SaxParserFactoryImpl");
System.setProperty("javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory","org.apache.xerces.jaxp.SAXParserFactoryImpl");
response.setContentType("application/pdf");
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
String xslPath = "top.xsl";
String xmlPath = "top.xml";
String foPath = "top.fo";
          try{
               TransformerFactory tfactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
               String filepath = foPath;
               Transformer transformer = tfactory.newTransformer(new StreamSource(getServletContext().getResource(xslPath).toString()));
               transformer.transform(new StreamSource(getServletContext().getResource(xmlPath).toString()),new StreamResult(new FileOutputStream(filepath )));
               InputSource fopfile = new InputSource(filepath);
               buildPDFFromFO(fopfile,out);
               out.flush();
          catch(Exception ex){
               System.out.println          }
The fo file that resulted from this looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<html>
<body>
<table bgcolor="yellow" border="2">
<tr>
<th>Artist</th>
<th>Song</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Pinky</td>
<td>Bye-bye</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>LOLO3</td>
<td>Austin</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Hello</td>
<td>Kuku</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Does anybody know why it didn't convert it correctly.
I am really new to all this stuff.
Thanks in advance for your help!!!
