PDF generation , FOP and Oracle Express DB

Am I right in assuming that you can't use the FOP PDF generation utility with Oracle Express Edition Database? i.e. no oc4j directory etc..

What are the major differences between oracle 10g and oracle express 10g

Hi
Can anyone tell, What are the major differences between[b] oracle 10g and oracle express 10g.
Or if you know any URL, then please do let me know.
Advance Thanks

Is there any problem for having Oracle and Oracle Express?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
is there any problem with having both oracle 10gR2 and oracle express installed on the same machine?
thanks

There is no theoretical technical problem with multiple Oracle databases on a machine, and I have indeed such an environment on several machines.
Although people have been known to create their own technical problems by not being careful.
You may want to review your knowledge of Oracle architecture, as you MUST have separate ORACLE_HOMEs. The ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are predefined for XE and it's important to keep things straight.

PDF PRINTING using Apache FOP and Oracle Containers for J2EE

Hi,
I am having major confusion about the pdf printing in Oracle XE and Apex 3.1.2.00.02
It clearly states that this is an available option on the Oracle website.
According to Apex there are two options for printing report regions.
Standard - which is free
Advanced - which uses BI and requires a licence
Standard requires me to have Apache FOP (which is provided by Oracle in the Apex release) and Oracle Containers for J2EE (OC4J)
Where my understanding of all this falls down is the part where I am downloading the Oracle Containers for J2EE and the license agreement states this cannot be used in a production system (only as a protptype). Can anyone clarify this? This is surely a required componenet and for the standard report printing which is supposed to be free.
My problem is that I need to have a database system on a laptop that will go off site for a number of weeks. We need report printing options.
Can anyone help with this. im desperate.
Kind regards

no not yet with Application Server.
I have tried to compare the settings to another installation with a separeted oc4j as described in the howto. But at the moment i found no mistakes.
If i call the url adresse like:
http://localhost:18101/fop/apex_fop.jsp
i get:
500 Internal Server Error
Servlet error: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: fop.apex__fop
I installed it another time with these settings:
Web Anwendung= .../fop.war (selected war file from apex install directory)
Anwendungsname= fop
URL zuordnen= /fop
I would like to know if its possible to use the fop.war out of apex install directory with the Application server? In the standalone version (as described in howto) it works. But if you install it there you don't need to define an URL.
Is the URL /fop correct or what do i have to insert there?

Oracle Reports 6.x and Oracle Express Server

What are the benefits of using Oracle Reports in conjunction with Oracle Express Server? We are currently using OFA for planning and forecasting, and are evaluating Oracle Reports as a tool to produce and publish key financial reports for a large user community. Is there any benefit in using Oracle Reports rather than just creating and publishing the reports directly within OFA?
Thanks,
Bill

Bill,
we tried to use Reports 6i with Express server. There were many troubles.
1. It is very hard task to establish connection Reports/Express
2. It is not possible to enter parameters for the reports
3.There are limitation on the number of dimensions in the report

Problem in IAS Server with generation of PDF with FOP and XML parsing

Dear co.forumers :
We are developing an application that generates a pdf document with FOP Apache utilities, and this PDf is stored in a folder of the server. Firts of all, a DDBB data is retrieved using java ( jdbc) middleware classes ( servlets ), and with these data, the pdf is generated using FOP. In these process, he data retrieved from the DDBB is converted in a XML file , and the with the XSL FOP utility, the pdf is generated.
In the other hand, we have another application that consults data from a java beans, using a JSP, generates a XML with the data of the beans, and with this XML, and with a XSL file generates and html , with the data and fixed text.
Both applications have been deployed as a separated WebApp in the IAS. Both use Xalan as XML parser amb Xerces is used aswell.
So, the problem is , after generating a pdf with the firts application, every html generated via JSP-XML-XSL transformation in the second application is shown completelly bad formated. All fixed text are wrongly composed, and the text that should appear in textFields and ComboBoxes is also bad formated. The XML with the data is well generated, so the problem is in the parsing of these XML and the conversion in html through XSL. We have to re-initiate the server and then everything goes well again. If no pdf is launched, no problem occurs with the other application.
How an a WEB APP pplication can affect to another, installed both in different folders of the IAS ? We tried to change Xalan version and FOP version, but no result.
Is this a Poltergeist ?? and X file , maybe ?
Has anyone had the same problem ?
Pleae, any help will be very wellcomed.

A PDF document may be generated in the JDeveloper OC4J server.

FOP and oracle parser

Hi
i developed a web application that takes an xml file which the user specifies and after validating it the application uses FOP to produce a PDF file. But the problem is that by default oc4j uses oracle.xml.parser.v2 parser but FOP need xerces. How can i override the usage of oracle's xml parser.
Please help because i spent quite some time on this project and this is the problem i almost at the end of the project run it to.
thanks,
mate

Report generation toolkit and signal express user step : problem of closing reference in "Stop" event

Hi all,
I'm trying to make a package of Vis to easily make Excel reports with Signal Express. I'm working on LabVIEW 8.2.1.
I'm using the report generation toolkit, so I build a .llb from my project which contains all the hierarchy of my steps, but also the hierarchy of dynamic VIs called.
I have made some steps, like "Open Workbook", "Write Data", etc.
My steps run well, excepts one step : "Close Workbook".
If my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Run" Signal Express event, I have no error, so my reference is properly closed.
But if my "Close Workbook" step is firing on "Stop" Signal Express event, I have an error "1", from "Generate Report Objectrepository.vi".
I feel that I'm trying to use a reference which has been killed in the "Stop" step...
I would like to know what exactly do Signal Express on "Stop" event and why my close function does'nt run well.
Thanks,
Callahan

Hi Callahan,
SignalExpress (SE for short) does the following on the Stop event:
1. Takes the list of parameters that SE found on your VI's connector pane, and sets the values that the user set from the "Run LabVIEW VI" configuration page, if any.
2. Then tells the VI that SE is running the Stop event by setting the Enum found on your VI's front panel. This in turn should produce some boolean values telling your VI to execute the Stop case.
3. The VI is then run, with those values and states.
4. SE checks to see if any errors where returned.
5. Since this is the Stop event, SE releases the reference to the VI which it possesses.
Questions for you would be, is the reference to your Workbook linked to a control on your connector pane, or held in a uninitialized Shift Register. If it's held in a Shift Register, SE would not be aware of it, and would not be able to affect that reference.
Hope that helps. Feel free to post your LLB if it doesn't.
Phil

SQLDeveloper and Oracle Express

I have SQL Developer installed, and working.
Then I installed DAtabase Express; after that I've been unable to connect to any database like I used to. I usually use TNS connection, but now SQLDev is reading the TNSNames from the XP database, instead of the one in oracle home. I think that is the reason I can't connect anymore...
Any thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks for any help.

One thing I have noticed is that when you install an Oracle product using the installer (such as XE or a client) the installer puts the new product at the very beginning of your path. I normally have to edit my PATH variable to put my Oracle 10g Client home directory back at the beginning.
That being said, it is possible to have one TNSNAMES.ORA file refer to (include) others. See this forum thread from last April: Re: IFILE directives in tnsnames.ora generate apparently harmless errors

The client makes the call (e.g. passing the PL/SQL anon block to the server to be parsed and executed).
This is successful. The server returns a zero return code to that client call. This means successful completion of that database call.
The client can now choose to display any message it wants to inform the user of that - from "+hey dude, it worked!+" to "+command completed successfully+" or whatever.
The database does not return a message string in response to that call - only a return code. What the client can do is make another call and request the associated message from the client driver for that return code. In this case, an English language message file (as queried by the driver) will return the message string, "+normal, successful completion+".

OWB and Oracle Express or other methods...

Hi
Is it possible to connect Express DB directly from OWB and share some Objects
or import some structures via EIF-Files?
What's the best way to migrate from Express to "up-to-date" olap? We have little bit complicated structures with lot of permits (because of extern partners) and more hierarchies on dimesions (incl. time dimension) etc.
thanks
Jarek

Mike,
Simply speaking, Express can be considered complementary to OWB. OWB helps you create/maintain a relational star-schema warehouse. Express can then be used to analyze the information in that warehouse using it's inherent on-line analytical processing (OLAP) capabilities.
