PL/SQL Portlet & Oracle Report 6i Server??

Scenario:
I have 2 portlet:
a) PORTLET A (is a dynamic menu written in pl/sql)
Each menu's choice run a report (via cgi) and output is HTMLCSS format.
b) PORTLET B (written in ?????).
Question:
If possible to set the output of Oracle Report into PORTELT B???

A while back all reports were just text files, what is the difference between a text report and a text file? If Oracle reports can do it go ahead. If you think it is overhead spool it from SQL*Plus, which as well as being an ad hoc query tool is actually designed as a text only report writer. If you want to you can still use a stored procedure that returns a ref cursor and just print and format the output in SQL*Plus however its wanted.
Don't use util_file, its more code, slower, complicated, you can't just use SQL, you have to loop (though for some reason many programmers seem to see this as an advantage), it can only access the server, Its more suitable for diagnostics, tracing and logging, things the DBA would be interested in, not for the end user or external system interfaces.

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;

Pl/sql vs oracle reports 6i

Hi I am new to oracle development.
My requirement is to create a text file periodically reading data from oracle tables.
the client wants me to use oracle reports 6i and create a text file. they actually do not have a requirement for a report or this report will not be used in nay other way.
the final output should be text file.
i feel using utl_file package creating the text file on the server is a much better option. for this i thought writing a stored procedure and scheduling this procedure.
please suggest me how i should convince. please give me suggestions in this. thanks in advance..mohan

SQL for oracle Reports

Hi, I am having trouble developing an oracle report to return information from several tables. The information to be returned is an aggregate operator "Count" and several fields from the tables. I cannot get the sql to compile without error.
Does anyone know of a good website for oracle reports design with sql?

Hi,
Why not paste the SQL code along with the
error or send it to : [email protected]

Oracle Reports & XML Publisher

Hallo,
Will there be a Oracle Reports Server (native) Version for the Application Server 10.1.3 (and beyond) or will this Service be replaced by the XML Publisher?
Thx, Willi

BIP is a different tool that pretty much can do the same job. And (it appears to me) that BIP will eventually be replacing Reports. I am sure BIP will undergo a few more versions first...but Reports does not seem to be undergoing any new development (that I know of). This is just my two cents...
More to the point: You can also use Oracle reports or BIP or both to generate yoru reports and can even use Reports to generate the XML data (from the db of course) and then use this data file to feed into BIP and use BIP format templates to display the data and even have multiple BIP templates for a single data file.
In may respects BIP format templates are easier to work with (based upon MSWord) than the layout editor in Oracle Reports and this method allows you to keep the (sometimes very complex) sql in Oracle Reports intact, unchanged. However, the use of a MSWord plug in has limitations...
It is my opinion that currently BIP has many formatting limitations that are not present in Oracle Reports. To overcome these formatting limitations you pretty much need to learn XSL if you have complex reports. And it is not any easier than learning how to use XSL (if you are not a Java/DotNet type) than it is to learn the layout editor in Reports (IMHO) .
All of the above is my personal perspective based upon 10+ years on Oracle Reports and 14 months on BIP so take it with a grain of salt. I do not nor have I ever worked for Oracle.

Developer Reports 6 Server Tuning

I've successfully installed Oracle Reports 6 Server and it works. However, it takes a while when I access a report (.rdf) from a web browser. I've been reading documentations and played around with some parameters but it still loads slow. Any inputs on tuning this?
Thanks.

I would check your query first.
tune your queries such that they come back really fast then check your
report server performance with running it
from a command line (rwcli60) and see what happens.

Calling Oracle Report through AQ

Does anybody know how to invoke an Oracle Report using Advanced Queuing?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Darryl,
I believe you can invoke PL/SQL in Oracle Reports. If so, invoke AQ PL/SQL procedures from Oracle reports.
Thanks,
Brajesh.

It is possible to connect Oracle database to MS Sql server database using the Oracle Transparent Gateway for MS SQL Server.
You can use the following links to configure such connection:

Thanks in advance.

Connect Oracle Reports to SQL server

Dear All,
I am using SQL Server 2005 and want to connect Oracle Report 6i to SQL Server 2005 without installing Oracle Database. Installing both the databases slows down the machine.

Hi,
As far as I know this is possible using ODBC and Oracle Open Client Adapter (OCA), but I do not know the details and the howto's.
Probably you'll get a better answer when posting this question at the Reports forum:

How to Deploy SSRS Reports(Sql Server 2008 R2) into Oracle Weblogic Application Server

Hi Friends
One of my project requirement is Developing reports by using SSRS and deploying the reports into Oracle Wblogic Server
Could you please give me a Steps where we need to configure.
Regards
Hasthi.

Hi Hasthi,
As per my understanding, I think we couldn’t directly deploy the SSRS report to Oracle Weblogic Application Server. We can deploy report to report server and SharePoint library. And we can display report to some applications, for example, windows application
and web application. Sorry for that I am not familiar with Oracle. So if your Oracle Weblogic Application Server support those Visual Studio application, then we can use report viewer control to display report in application. For more detail information about
report viewer control, please refer to the following document:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms251671.aspx
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Auto print Oracle report through call to PL/SQL

I have been tasked with finding a way to generate an Oracle report from a java servlet. Basically they want to pass in parameters to a PL/SQL procedure and have it automatically print out, without user interaction.
Can this be done?
Jeff

I am in a similar situation and have reached a bit of an impass. I am creating the report by means of passing a dynamically created URL from WebDB to the Report Server.
I have created a procedure to do various things and was planning on calling the report via the procedure using
OWA_UTIL.redirect_url depending on the params
that the user entered. Does the UTL_HTTP work in the same means as the aforementioned? Or are they the same thing?
Regards and thanks,
Steve
