Oracle Warehoude Builder 9i

Hi,
Does OWB 9i support the following:-
1)The extract tool must provide extract, translate and load error reports in an easily understood manner to both the end user and the systems accountant.
2)The extract tool must provide a mechanism by which extraction and load routines are monitored and logged, to enable control and visibility of the process and the status of the process.
3)The extract tool should handle version upgrades to the source systems without significant changes needing to be made to the tool.
4)The extract tool should not impact on either the technical configuration or data structures within the base systems.
Kindly help

Hi,
1)The extract tool must provide extract, translate and load error reports in an easily understood manner to both the end user and the systems accountant.
Load errors are logged and can be accessed through the out-of-the-box HTML-based interface or public SQL views. Through the views, one can write any query (i.e. report) to make the output understandable to the end user.
2)The extract tool must provide a mechanism by which extraction and load routines are monitored and logged, to enable control and visibility of the process and the status of the process.
This happens, both in the Warehouse Builder context and in Oracle Workflow, the execution engine Warehouse Builder leverages.
3)The extract tool should handle version upgrades to the source systems without significant changes needing to be made to the tool.
Yes, it can. You can even use the out-of-the-box impact analysis diagrams in order to identify what is the impact of the changes. That helps you pro-actively respond to changes.
4)The extract tool should not impact on either the technical configuration or data structures within the base systems.
You design the transformations between source and target yourself, so you can control this requirement.
Thanks,
Mark.

  • 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,

    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.

    Please pardon me. I am new to oracle report builder and I am trying to accomplish the following. First and foremost please find my pl/sql queries below. Kindly note, all the queries have been tested and I just need to be able to input those queries into the report builder. Thank you.
    create or replace package test1 is
    type r_cursor is ref cursor;
    function report(company_name in varchar2) return r_cursor;
    end test1;
    create or replace package body test1 is
    function report(company_name in varchar2) return r_cursor as
    my_r_cursor r_cursor;
    begin
    if(company_name = 'ALL COMPANIES') THEN
    open my_r_cursor for
    select t.t_id, t.t_description from t1 t;
    return my_r_cursor;
    elsif(company_name != 'ALL COMPANIES') THEN
    open my_r_cursor for
    select t.t_id, t.t_description from t1 t
    where t.t_id = company_name;

    t_description varchar2(250),
    primary key(t_id)

      (t_id, t_description)

    insert into t1
      (t_id, t_description)
    values
      ('GE', 'PROFIT: 1Billion');
    insert into t1
      (t_id, t_description)
    values
      ('JPMORGAN','PROFIT: 0');Now, I am trying to create a simple report in oracle report builder. The interface for generating for this report is basically, there is a dropdownlist where by the user picks a company name from the dropdownlist and clicks on the go button, this should then generate a report with the above query shown in the package. How can this be achieved? All help will greatly be appreciated.

    Hi,
    first of all you need strong typed ref cursor, oracle reports need to detect witch are the columns returned by your cursor.
    so first you create your package
    create or replace package test1
    as
    TYPE t_record IS RECORD ( company_number PLS_INTEGER--TABLE_NAME.COLUMN_NAME%TYPE
    , company_desc VARCHAR2(150)--TABLE_NAME.COLUMN_NAME%TYPE
    TYPE T_REF_CURSOR IS REF CURSOR RETURN t_record;
    procedure report(company_name in varchar2 ,cur_out OUT t_ref_cursor) ;
    end test1;
    show errors
    create or replace package body test1
    is
    procedure report(company_name in varchar2 ,cur_out OUT t_ref_cursor)
    is
    my_r_cursor T_REF_CURSOR;
    begin
    if(company_name = '1')
    THEN
    open my_r_cursor for
    select 1 as t_id, 'description' ast_description from dual
    else
    open my_r_cursor for
    select 2 as t_id, 'description2' as t_description from dual
    end if;
    end;
    end test1;
    show errors
    then, in your report you create a ref cursor query :
    function QR_1RefCurDS
    return test1.t_ref_cursor
    is
    C_return test1.t_ref_cursor;
    begin
         test1.report(1,C_return);
    RETURN(C_return) ;
    end;
    hope this helps you !

  • Getting a report in excel format from oracle report builder 10gDS release2

    I want to get a report in excel format from oracle report builder 10gDS release2.
    Is there ne method by which minimum effort is required for changing already made reports .
    I have searched for it on internet :-
    http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/state/content/navId.3/navSetId._/vtTopicFile.htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs%7Crwwhthow%7Cwhatare%7Coutput%7Coutput_a_simpleexcel~htm/
    Example, given in the last of the page opened from the above url, is not working.
    Can neone plz explain the example and how to use it
    Thanks & Regards
    JD

    Ok, for the release 2 its quite straightfoward, in your calling form you would have something like this code:
    declare
         pl_id ParamList;
    repid REPORT_OBJECT;
    v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
    v_rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
    v_repsrv     VARCHAR2(100):= 'yourreportserver';
    v_serv varchar2(50) := 'yourservername' ;
    begin
    pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
    if not id_null(pl_id) then
    Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
    end if;
    pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
    Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESTYPE' ,TEXT_PARAMETER,'Screen' );
    Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM' ,TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO' );
    repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('yourreport');     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,RUNTIME);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER, v_repsrv);
    set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE );
    set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'SPREADSHEET' );
    v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid,pl_id);
    v_rep := substr(v_rep,length(v_repsrv)+2,10 ) ;
    end;
    I have plenty of reports being formated to excel with this same method so it should work for you, the only diference with my previous code is this line.
    set_report_object_property(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'SPREADSHEET' );
    The rest remains untouched.
    Hope it helps.

  • Interfacing of oracle report builder and java

    hi all,
    I have build a report using Oracle Report Builder 10g.Now i want to make use of this report in displaying the data in IE using core java.
    This is the first time i am using the Oracle Report Builder .
    Can anyone tell me how to proceed in right direction?Do i need to have some specific Jar,Environment to accomplish this task?
    Thanks in advance

    I'm not sure what version of the product you're using, but since you're just installing it may well be the base version (6.0.8.8.3).
    Similar issues were addressed in a patch release (6.0.8.12), which was related to issues with some types of keyboard. You may want to upgrade to the latest patch release and retry.

  • Using CLOBs in oracle Report Builder

    I want to select all the data in a CLOB column using SQL Navigator by just doing
    select entry_note
    from chartentries;
    just as you say in your example by it just gives me back a result of (ORACLOB).
    If I do
    select to_char(entry_note)
    from chartentries;
    I get this error.
    If I do
    select dbms_lob.substr(entry_note,4000,1)
    from chartentries
    I get this (there’s more up to 32000 characters in a clob) and these weird squares which I think are CR (carriage returns) or LF (line feeds). I don’t want to see those characters and I would like to retrieve the entire CLOB in one swoop without doing data manipulations of substringing.
    Using the same data in Oracle Report Builder, I want to select all the data in a CLOB column into a field in a Paper report layout but I keep getting errors, ora-6502, and I've found out that I am restricted to 4000 characters and in Report 9i it looks like the largest field you can have is 4000 characters. My CLOB information can be up to 32000 characters long or longer and I do not want to substring out 4000 characters at a time into separate fields. In Crystal reports there is no problem just selecting the clob in a simple query and it is there in one shot. I would have thought by now that Oracle would have changed its development tools to be able to handle Clobs simply without any manipulation. Does anyone know how to do this in Report builder? I just have a simple query:
    select entry_datetime,
    to_char(replace((entry_note),chr(13))) as entry_note
    from chartentries
    where patient_id = 49741
    Another thing I want to do, is call this Oracle report from a PL/SQL block passing several parameters to the report and also call a Crystal report from a PL/SQL block passing several parameters to the report. Does anyone know what the commands are?

    What I had to do is create a query using query builder. This works fine; it's when trying to add the column to an existing query is where the data inconstancy error occurs. One thing you have to keep in mind is it will only work using the query builder in conjunction with the report wizard; I am not sure why. To incorporate the comments into an existing frame you will have to cut the frame created by the wizards and copy it into the existing frame. Otherwise the column name will not show in the source list of the property Inspector.
    Good Luck

    I have checked log file/Trace file/Alert log files ,but there is no error in these files.
    If any body have any solution about it,Please reply ASAP.I am stucked in this problem from last 7-8 days.
    Waiting for reply
    Thanks & Regards

    Thanks for your reply Igor.
    As posted the OWB 10.1.0 software is running against a 9.2.0.8.0. database, so OWB still uses DBMS_JOB instead of DBMS_SCHEDULER in this database. In addition I already tested scheduling a simple job to run an OS command as suggested in note 365539.1 , and job scheduling is working fine.
    There are no invalid objects in this database.

  • How to Publish a report created by Oracle report builder

    Hi Everyone
    My colleague and I were trying to use the Oracle Reports Builder to replace our existing reports generator from our ERP system. We have already created the report in the Reports Builder from the development suite.
    What we are looking for is a similar solution as the Microsoft reporting service;
    1) create the company report templates
    2) and then upload the template files to a location (e.g. folder on the server)
    3) then all user in the company can access it by a web browser with some fields which they can enter some critiria (e.g. purchase order number).
    4) then send to printer and the print out should look exactly like the template.
    Unfortunately, we had very bad time on try to find out what we need and how to publish that Oracle report we created. We spent 15 hours on that but no result.
    In that 15 hours we tried to setup the "Oracle report service", but at last my colleague said that wasnt what we looking for, the "Oracle report service" is for reporting the error from the application hosted on the server, not for publish the company report created by the "Oracle report bulider" .
    We use Oracle Database 10g for the ERP quite a long time already. We had the Oracle Developer Setup, and the Application Server Installed.
    Could someone please tell us what kind of Oracle service we are actually looking for. Any other suggestion and setup guides are also the most welcoming.
    Best Regards

    Hello,
    If you want to be able to execute your Reports on the web, the best solution is to use the "Oracle Application Server"
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101202.html

  • Bug in Oracle Forms Builder 6i?

    When converting from binary to text in Oracle Forms Builder, the conversion is inexplicably dropping a WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD trigger for one of my data blocks.
    I am running Oracle Forms Builder 6i on Windows XP with the latest patches. I couldn't find anything in the bug search that resembled this problem. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround?
    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    I just tested this in 10.1.2.2 on XP and could not reproduce the problem. It is unlikely that this is a bug and if it was, it is very likely that it was already corrected.
    Ensure that you are using 6.0.8.26. If you are using Oracle Applications you should be using 6.0.8.27.
    Also, Error Correction Support for stand-alone Forms 6.0.x users ended long ago, which means that a patch cannot be provided for version 6.x.

  • How to use LIKE function with a parameter in Oracle REPORT builder??

    how could i use parameter inside a LIKE function in Oracle reports builder?
    it works in SQL plus, but not in report builder!!
    Example:
    select code,desc from item_master where desc
    like '%&give_desc%'; ---works in SQL
    like '%:give_desc%' ---doesn't work in report builder!!

    Hi Renil,
    You will need to use the wildcard character (%) and the concatenation character (||) to join to your user parameter.
    i.e. like '%'||:give_desc||'%'
    Regards,
    John

  • Oracle Translation Builder: Japanese characters in question mark (????)

    Hi All,
    We need to translate a custom from labels from English to Japanese, so that both US and Japan can use that form.
    So we have used Oracle Translation Builder to specify the translation. As an initial step, we just changed the labels to some other english words. And now we have generated American .fmx and Japanese .fmx. And we are able to see the difference.
    Now in Oracle translation Builder(OTB), if i paste Japanese characters in the translation editor, we are able to see the Japanese characters. But if we save&close the OTB and re-open it, we see all the question(???) marks. Even if we generate/upload the Japanese.fmx to applications, we are seeing the same Japanese ??? marks in the applications.
    Can you please let me know, what am i missing...
    (I have installed the Asian language (ARIALUNI.ttf) in my local system.)

    May be You should set the environment variable NLS_LANG to "JAPANESE_JAPAN.WE8MSWIN1252" or "AMERICAN_AMERICA.JA16SJIS" will allow you to store Japanese providing the input data is truly JA16SJIS and if the database is also in a character set that can store Japanese like UTF8 or JA16SJIS).
    Or use Oracle Translation Hub it is useful tool. It replaces the OTB :-)
