Problem running reports with graphics in 11i

Hi,
I have developed some custom reports (using
Reports 6i) with graphics charts embedded within them. I would like to display the output from within Oracle Applications 11i.
There seem to be two approaches:
1. Invoke the report from Oracle Self-Service using OracleOasis.runReport
2. Register the report as a concurrent request (with HTML/PDF output) and run it using the concurrent manager
Approach 1 requires the reports server cgi which I start using adrepctl.sh. Approach 2 requires the concurrent manager which I start using adcmctl.sh.
The problems start to occur depending on how and from where I start these scripts. The exact problem occurs in both cases.
If these scripts are started:
1. From a regular telnet window from a windows NT box
The reports error out with a REP-3000 internal toolkit error
2. From an Exceed xterm session and I keep the Exceed session alive (I tried both TrueColors and PseudoColors settings)
The reports work but there are problems with the output - pie colors do not appear (everything is white, for e.g.), etc.
3. From the Sun Solaris console
The reports work fine.
The problem is that method 3 is not very convenient since every time I bring down the concurrent manager or reports cgi server, I need to walk to a different building (where the Sun boxes are) to start it.
Method 2 above isn't particularly great either (even assuming I can get it to work) since I need to have an exceed session running all the time.
Can some one offer suggestions to solve the problem I'm having? Even clues on why method 2 above is not working as expected would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
- NR

Problem solved! As long as the xhost + is set on the host machine and some one is logged in, it appears that one can simply set the DISPLAY environment variable to point to the host (even from a simple telnet window) and start the reports server or concurrent manager. Looks like you also have to have REPORTS60_NO_DUMMY_PRINTER set to "YES".

Problem running report with BI Publisher and Web Service

Hello,
I actually try to run a Bi Publisher report via the Web Service.
I use the following documents:
- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10415_01/doc/bi.1013/e10416/bip_webservice_101331.htm
- "How to integrate Oracle BI Publisher via Web Services in Oracke Forms"
Everything works fine. But when I try to copy it on local computer the file is 0 length. I use the "getReportBytes" method.
Here is the code I tried with:
String userName = “Administrator”;
String passWord = “Administrator”;
System.out.println(”calling ” + myPort.getEndpoint());
System.out.println(myPort.validateLogin(userName,passWord));
ReportRequest repReq = new ReportRequest();
ReportResponse repRes = new ReportResponse();
repReq.setAttributeFormat(”pdf”);
repReq.setAttributeLocale(”en-US”);
repReq.setAttributeTemplate(”World Sales”);
repReq.setReportAbsolutePath(”/Sales Manager/World Sales/World Sales.xdo”);
repRes = myPort.runReport(repReq,userName,passWord);
System.out.println(repRes.getReportContentType());
byte[] binaryBytes = repRes.getReportBytes();
OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(”D:
out.pdf”);
out.write(binaryBytes);
out.close();
System.out.println(”Success for Run Report”);
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I assume that you use 10.1.3.4. If not, my hint is not relevant for you ....
There's a new parameter in the web service API to set the Chunk-Size. Unfortunaltely is the default value not so, that the behaviour is like in older releases (no chunk-size ... the whole document at once). If you set the chunk size to -1, you should get your document. So try to add
repRequest.setSizeOfDataChunkDownload(-1);

Hello,
Do you use the Oracle Forms builtin WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ?
If yes , take a look to : "IE7 windows opened and closed immediatly"
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Internet_Email/Web_Browsers/Internet_Explorer/Q_23304982.html
You can test the solution suggested :
We have found the setting that we needed, under the Internet Options
Security tab, if you select the internet zone, and click the custom level
button, then scroll down to the Downloads section, the first option is
Automatic prompting for file downloads, setting this to enable keeps IE 7
from interfering with this sort of download.

Problem opening reports with a user in the Oracle Directory.

I have already followed all the steps in the user's guide to run reports with a user in the Oracle Directory.
I accessed the enterprise security manager and created the mandatory xml publisher roles, besides I created another role. I added user A to the new role I created.
I accessed then the administrator tab in XML publisher. I went to roles and the role I created was there. When I tried to add a folder. I'm able to add the folder there. I click on apply and then when I enter in the security Settings again the folder is not there anymore.
I get the following error in the log:
[021207_103218621][][EXCEPTION] oracle.apps.xdo.servlet.resources.ResourceNotFoundException: /opt/oracle/infra2/j2ee/home/xmlpublisher
/Admin/Security/security.xml
When I access xml publisher with the user A, who belongs to the new role I'm working with, I'm not able to see any folder, nor anything else.
Do you have any ideas about what could be going wrong?
Thanks,
Joaquin

Can you replay how? I have been facing this problem for nearly 3 months without any solution. Please help me.

Problem reports with graphics in 11.1.1.2.0 (64 bits)

HI.
I have a problem wiith a OFM 64 bits.
In a 32 bits machine (2003Server), i generate a report with pdf format thats run ok!.
if compiled the report in 64 bits machine (Windows2008R2), compiled correctly.
But if i run the report, don´t show the report, and show me the error: " problem to read the document (135)".
Any idea???,.
thanks!

HI.
I find a partial solution.
If the param REPORTS_OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT are GIF value, the pdfs works ok!!!.
But if the reports has a image, this image have the GIF format too.
It´s posible that only the gif format are correctly in 64 bits to generate PDFs?????

Internet Explorer Script Error when running report with user-entered params

We are using Crystal Reports Version 11.0.0.1282. We have multiple copies each installed on a separate computer. We have a relatively simple report with a prompt for 2 values (parameters) to be selected or input by the users. The desktop is either Windows XP SP3 or Windows Server 2003 SP2 On all the XP/SP3 computers, this report works as expected. On the exception computer, the Windows Server2003 Desktop, we see the prompting screen with place holders for graphics instead of the buttons. When we attempt to select a value for the parameter by keying in the value and clicking on the OK link (no button), we see message box titled "Internet Explorer Script Error" with text: An error has occurred in the script on this page.
Line: xxx (varies depending on param chosen)
char 1
error: Object expected
url: file:///c:/doc...../temp/1/prompting1.html
===============================
Searhing around the forum and using Google, I found a suggestion to be copying the "prompting" folder and dll from a known working system - tried this, it didn't work.
So. I still need a solution. Any other suggestions??

The active browser on the computer is IE7 - 7.0.5730.13
I am using the installed crystal reports 11 program to run the report. I open the report in CR by going to File/Open and selecting the report. Then I get prompted for my ms sql login info, which I enter. Then I see the "Enter Values" window with my data entry fields; but I don't see the nice formatting and buttons which I see when I run this from the other computers; I see only the placeholders. I select or enter data and click on the "OK" link. Then the message box pops up. The message box pops up when I click on any of the links or on the "x" in the upper right. Mesage box is explicit - Intenet Explorer Script Error, etc., as I described in my original post.

Hi, I am trying to run a report with filters/security defined via Business View. When I run the report as administrator, I am able to view successfully. However, when I login as test/dummy account which filters my parameters, I am getting such error - "A request was cancelled. The necessary security privileges could not be verified. This indicates a problem with the security server." Appreciate all the help I can get.Thank you,Michelle

Hi onizga,
According to your description that you are migrating SSRS 2008 R2 reports to SSRS 2012 SP2, after migration you got some error like “The Uri string is too long” which only occurred when accessing the drill-through actions, right?
Usually, the issue can be caused when you try to pass some parameters that cause the URL length to exceed 65,520 characters for a Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services (SSRS 2012), you cannot render the report, and you may receive the following error
message:
The value of parameter 'param' is not valid. (rsInvalidParameter).Invalid URI: The Uri string is too long.
This is an known issue and already have the hotfix SQL Server 2012 Service Pack1 Cumulative Update 9 (CU9) as you know, you can try to reinstall this hotfix to fixed this issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2916827 .Any issue after applying the update, please post it on the following thread or you can submit an feedback:

Running report with web.show_document

We are using web.show_document to run reports which have parameter forms. destype=CACHE , desformat=pdf . We are also using the javabean which hides the login credentials as a cookie.
The output displays OK then the user wants to email it, so they use the mail button on the adobe reader toolbar.
They are asked whether they want to link or copy even though link does not work.
If they choose copy, the result is an email with an attachment called 'servlet' with no extension.
The recipient of the email has no idea what a servlet is, and more importantly they do not know how to open the file.
Does anyone know how to get around these problems ?

Ino
Your method is fine if run_report_object is used. However, in order to display a parameter form, the report must be run with web.show_document. If web.show document is used twice, first to run the report and then to display it, the second does not wait for the first to finish, even if a synchronize is put between them.
So, as soon as the parameter form appears, the second show_document appears in front of it saying it cannot find the file. Dismissing that allows access to the parameter form, the report runs and gives a success message but no output.

Issue migrating reports with Graphical features.

Hi guys,
I am working on migrating reports from 10g to 11g and I have an issue with the reports which contains a Graph. They are giving the following error when I run them against the 11g report server(they are running fine against the 10g server with out any issues)
The report terminated with error:
REP-56048: Engine rwEng-1 crashed., job Id: 24.
I have searched on Google, for a solution to fix them, the closest I found was Installing Oracle Graphics 6i engine in a separate Oracle Home, but this was said for 9i and 10g, you can find that in the below oracle document:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/reports/graph-faq-with-style-094084.html#q101
Does anyone know, if I can Install Oracle Graphics 6i engine in a separate Oracle Home for 11g too?, to make them work at least, if not modifying the existing ones?
Thanks,
Sona.

Hi Sona,
unfortunately installing Graphics 6i in a separate OH for 11g wont work. This option was only possible until Reports 10g as a temporary option while migrating to the new BI beans graphing functionality included in 10gR2 and 11g.
Reference
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/reports/graph-faq-with-style-094084.html
Migrating Oracle Graphics 6i charts
How do I migrate my charts from Oracle Graphics to the new graph format in Oracle9i Reports or Oracle Reports 10g?
Oracle9i Reports Release 1 onwards, Oracle Graphics has been desupported. Oracle9i Reports and Oracle Reports 10g use BI Beans to generate graphs. Because of the underlying technology, there is no direct migration path from Oracle Graphics to the BI Bean graphing functionality. As such, the user will need to rewrite all of their graphs using the new Graph Wizard within the Reports Builder.
Top of Page
Can I still run my existing Oracle Reports Developer 6i reports containing Oracle Graphics charts in Oracle Reports?
As noted in the Oracle Reports Statement of Direction, Oracle Graphics is no longer shipped with Oracle Reports. However, as part of the migration path, you can still run Oracle Graphics charts in Oracle Reports if you install the Oracle Graphics 6i engine in a separate Oracle Home. You should only maintain Oracle Graphics 6i as a temporary measure while you redesign your charts using the new Graph Wizard. For further details on how to configure Oracle to use Oracle Graphics 6i, please see the Graphics Migration section in the Oracle9i Application Server Migration from Oracle9iAS Release 1 (1.0.2.2.x) to Release 2 (9.0.2) manual.
Top of Page
Can I modify or add Oracle Graphics 6i charts to my reports with Oracle9i Reports or Oracle Reports 10g?
No. You must have a separate installation of Oracle Graphics 6i Builder in order to modify your existing Oracle Graphics 6i charts since Oracle Graphics is not shipped with Oracle Reports. We strongly recommend that you migrate your charts to the new standard in Oracle Reports.
Thanks, RZ

Problem running reports

I finally configured and was able to start the reports server on my Solaris box. The listener is running. When I run a report, either by command line using rwrun60 or from a form using RUN_REPORT_PRODUCT, the report kicks off without error but will not finish. I have to kill the process, and no output results. I had no problems when running from NT, so I'd bet the problem is in the configuration not the report itself. Any ideas?

I'm still working this problem.
I have a printer configured, and have no problem generating report in character mode and send directly to printer.
I did have to add localhost access to Xwindows with
$ xhost +localhost
Now I have valid display value.
Unfortunately, still having the same problem. rwrun60 kicks off, but gets hung. I have no problems running forms on the this server. Any other ideas?

Help! trying ot run reports with AIX chron

i am trying to run a set of nightly reports with ibm's AIX unix chron procedure but it keeps complaning that it cannot find r25runm:
null

From my previous post:
o Complete Forms/Reports version. Do NOT* say "Forms 10g". Provide the numerical version numbers*
o "error" 103??? What is this? Forms error, Reports error, error seen in browser. Explain...
This means, what is the complete text from the error and which line is it complaining about.
o Have you reviewed the Forms/Reports Integration White paper which explains how to correctly call Reports from Forms?
At quick glance, disregarding the detail requested above, the first problem I see is here:
cust_List := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT(cust_list_report);
cust_list_report* either needs to be quoted or be a declared variable. So, for example this is what I would have expected assuming cust_list_report* is an actual report object found in the Object Navigator :
cust_List := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('cust_list_report');Notice the single quotations. If cust_list_report is a variable, then it needs to be declared at the top of the code.

Run Report with Pass Number and Varchar Lexical Parameter values

Dear Sir/Madam
Due to an urgent change required to a report I would most appreciate it if you can please advise me if it is possible to get this report working by either passing in multiple lexical parameters or one signle lexical parameter when calling the SRW.RUN_REPORT command with the following methods:
Firstly: When calling report with a run_no and spr_cd passed in through one lexical:
cmd_line: REPORT=D:\DEV\REMITTANCE.rdf BACKGROUND=YES BATCH=NO DESFORMAT=PDF DESTYPE=FILE DESNAME=D:\DEV\REMITTANCE.pdf
CP_L_PARAM=RUN_NO=TO_NUMBER(28) AND SPR_CD=SUPP1
Both with a TO_NUMBER and without, whereby I attempt to do a SUBSTR within the query of the called report to derive the RUN_NO Oracle Reports fails to accept the SUBSTR.
Secondly: I am now trying to call the with passing two lexical parameters into the report as follows:
cmd_line: REPORT=D:\DEV\REMITTANCE.rdf BACKGROUND=YES BATCH=NO DESFORMAT=PDF DESTYPE=FILE DESNAME=D:\DEV\REMITTANCE.pdf
CP_L_RUN_NO=||TO_CHAR(lv_run_no)|| CP_L_SPR_CD=||lv_spr_cd;
NOTE: The above is an output of the actual command line and not what is passed into the command line, thus the quotes are missing. Please also note that the report is running fine with the only a hard coded RUN_NO value PASSED without the SPR_CD.
Unfortunately this is also causing issues as the RUN_NO is a number and as you know you can only pass in strings.
Your urgent help is required on this matter please as our client is expecting a solution this afternoon.
Hope to hear form you soon.
Kind regards
Andrew Mason

Dont Worry I've worked it out...

Running Reports with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT versus RUN_REPORT_OBJECT

Where I work I work alone on developing and delivering Oracle applications. I've found a way of running reports in 10g over the web using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT, I've embedded my own security in the BEFORE PARAMETER FORM trigger of the reports.
I don't have time to trawl through thousands of pages of documentation and I need to know whether there is a fundamental drawback of using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT over RUN_REPORT_OBJECT? I've got everything working OK in my test environment, but it's not clear reading the Oracle documentation whether there is a major drawback with this method, in particular I'm interested in any performance/load issues. I'm slightly worried because most people seem to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (which has all sorts of issues, such as parameter form incompatibility etc), I've found that WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT is much easier to implement as it avoid the parameter form issue, displaying the user credentials in the source html and being able to type in any jobid in a url to receive other peoples reports.
I've read as much as I can including the Forms and Reports integration document and the Usability Matrix and can't find anything obvious. I would be very grateful for any comments.

Good call .... I included some of the code from your linked document to create a forms library from which to run reports. This uses the inate ability of reports to generate HTML parameter forms at runtime. Very handy. Most of our reports that we upgaded recently took little or no effort.

Urgent: problem running reports in Oracle 10g application server

Hi all,
our problem is that we deployed a jsp report as Ear file in Oracle 10g application server in infrastructure node.deployment says successfull.when we try to run that report it says 401 unauthorised.while sending request we are passing the database username,password &sid is this correct or any configuration setting to be done to make it run.
one morething normal jsp works fine.when we run reports jsp it gives the above mentioned 401 error.

hello,
when you deploy reports JSPs they still require the reports specific componentes (e.g. TLD file, classes, ...) etc be available. i doubt that's the case in your ear file.
thanks,
