Problems runing reports on 9ias in solaris

I have an application developed in Oracle Forms & Reports 6i, that as the need to print documents directly to a printer (without preview).
I also need to select the printer for wish I want to print, this printer should be defined in the client because it can be anywhere, it can be a local printer, a printer in an other server, or in the same server as the web server.
For doing this I use ORARRP, generate the .rrpp file (postscript).
I'm executing the report using run-report-object. When doing web-show-document, it shows the printer selection window, but after that it wont print anything to the printer.
I'm using a Sun Sparc Solaris server, but for testing I've executed the same report in a NT server and generated the .rrpp, I did web-show-document and it worked very well.
I've copied the .rrpp file generated on NT to the Solaris Server, and by doing web-show-document it also worked.
Then I copied the file .rrpp generated on Solaris to NT and by doing web-show-document, it displayed the select-printer window, but it didn't print the document.
If I generate the report to HTML or PDF it works fine ether in Solaris as NT.
I must then conclude that must be something wrong in the .rrpp file generated by Solaris, that doesn't allow me to send it to the printer!?

Ricardo,
just in case that you read this first, I answered the other thread more in detail. After reading this description I am sure that the Solaris system doesn't have a printer accessible that can do postscript. Note that Reports needs a postscript printer accessible to produce postscript files. Thsi explains why pdf works fine while post script don't.
thanks.

Problems print report on 9ias 9.0.2.0.1

Hi, I can run my reports on my 9ids fine, but when I run then on 9ias on the web I get REP-826. I have forms call object report with run_report_object with parameter forms in reports. I have in object report in forms: destype=cache, desformat=pdf, runtime and synchronous too in reports I have in destype=cache, desformat=pdf, mode=default, printjob=yes. I needs to be previewed before getting printed.
Any suggestions?

6i Reports Vs 9iAS Report Services

Hi All,
what is the difference in using the 6i reports and 9iAS Reporting services, as i know that invoking 6i report takes more system resources, will this problem can be resolved by 9iAS Reprot servvices or not, if so how and if not what i have to check for the other alternatives in ORacle for report designing as my project has 1000+ reports.

Hi,
I am not clear about what are you planning to do with psp, are you going to impliment your reports with it or your forms or both.
I'll assume that your comparing reports with psp in this mail.
I am not sure where did you get the notion that psp is faster.
If we compare psp and reports, then both send the sql queries for execution in the DB the same way(this is usually the part that consumes most time). psp will then use the db to do the formating of the report, where reports will use the reports server on the middle tier to do that.
The question of preformance here depends on the platfom they are executing on.
I would suggest a different aproach when comapring the option.
Think about developing a report that is a little more complex then just a table layout.
something like a matrix report or a break report with summaries.
To do this layout and calculation using pl/sql (psp) will take a lot of coding while in reports you do this in a graphical environment.
I think that developing the reports in oracle reports will prove to be more productive. and I also think that you'll be pleasently surprise with the preformance of the reports server.
also remember that reports give you other formats like pdf,csv,RTF that you can't achieve with psp.
I suggest that in order to decide, you pick two or three reports from your 1000 and try to impliment them in both way and see which works best for you.
good luck,
shay

Unable to connect to the report server 9iAS

I have a similar problem to the FRM-41213 when trying to initiate a Report_Job_Id := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(Report_Id, pl_id) through a form.
I have tested everything on my LOCAL 9iDS environment which goes through a LOCAL report server (rwserver -install myserver) and it works.
Now, I am trying to deploy it to the 9iAS server on a Windows 2000 server. When I call my form everything appears to be working fine, however, I never get a connection to the report server and the applet hangs.
Any one have any idea what I should check to insure that I have my 9iAS server setup to run Reports though 9iAS or what this problem might be?
Thanks
Hyman

Check if the reports server on 9ias is up and running. You might check out metalink note 212551.1 if it is not. The "Second Solution for Issue 1" solved the problem for me.
Begin quotation:
"This can be accomplished by removing the <security> tagging from the <repserver>.conf file, where <repserver> represents the reports server name. This file is found in the Developer ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf directory."
End quotation.
Hope this helps

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?

Reports on 9iAS

Hi all,
I apologise for the simple and rather silly question but I need to get something straightened. In order to create a report in 9iAS do I HAVE to use portal?
I mean are there any alternatives?

Thanks for the reply, but this didn't fix my problem. Does anyone else have any advice?

The foregoing list shows that I do not have sufficient disk space. Oracle Install documentation says I should have 3GB for a full install. My second hard disk should be able to handle this, but I do not know yet how I can add more disk space to the file system. Can you please tell me how I can do this?
Meanwhile I am deleting the 13 files 9iAS10220_part1 through 9iAS10220_part13 to free up some disk space. Having extracted files and created Disk1 through Disk5, I do not think I will need these 13 files anymore.
I am still trying to understand what runInstaller script is trying to do.

Problem refreshing reports with params in the Interactive viewer from ASP

I have a problem getting reports to refresh by clicking the Interactive Viewer's refresh button and reusing the supplied parameters. I am seeing this exact same problem on both V9.2 and 11.5 unmanaged RAS servers.
I am using the following function code to set the reports parameters:
Public Sub PassParameter(param_index, param_value, param_is_multi,param_range_kind)
    Dim param_old ' parameter field in the report
    Dim param_new ' parameter field that will replace old parameter
Dim paramValue ' discrete parameter value
Dim aValues
Dim rValues
Dim iLoop
Set param_old = clientDoc.DataDefinition.ParameterFields.Item(param_index)
Set param_new = objFactory.CreateObject("CrystalReports.ParameterField";)
If param_range_kind = 1 then
Set paramValue = objFactory.CreateObject("CrystalReports.ParameterFieldDiscreteValue";)
paramValue.Value = param_value
else
Set paramValue = objFactory.CreateObject("CrystalReports.ParameterFieldRangeValue";)
     rValues = split(param_value, "|")
paramValue.BeginValue = rValues(0)
paramValue.EndValue = rValues(1)
paramValue.LowerBoundType = 2
paramValue.UpperBoundType = 2
end if
param_old.CopyTo param_new
if param_is_multi = 0 then
param_new.CurrentValues.Add paramValue
else
     aValues = split(param_value, ",")
   For iLoop = LBound(aValues) to UBound(aValues)
param_new.CurrentValues.Add Trim(aValues(iLoop))
    Next
end if
clientDoc.DataDefController.ParameterFieldController.Modify param_old, param_new
    ' Clean up
    Set paramValue = Nothing
    Set param_new = Nothing
End Sub
and then redirecting to another ASP page to invoke the viewer (the report "clientDoc" object is passed to the viewer asp page a s a session variable). The code of the viewer page is:
<%
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 1
Response.Charset=";UTF-8"
Dim clientDoc
Set clientDoc = session("clientDoc")
Dim ObjFactory, RptAppSession
Set ObjFactory = CreateObject("CrystalReports.ObjectFactory";)
Dim viewer
Set viewer = ObjFactory.CreateObject("CrystalReports.CrystalReportInteractiveViewer";)
viewer.PageTitle = "Interactive Report - " & Request("rptnam")
viewer.IsOwnForm = true
viewer.IsOwnPage = true
viewer.HasRefreshButton = true
viewer.EnableParameterPrompt = false
viewer.ReuseParameterValuesOnRefresh ; = true
viewer.HasExportButton = false
' viewer.HasPrintButton = false
viewer.ReportSource = clientDoc.ReportSource
Dim BooleanSearchControl
Set BooleanSearchControl = ObjFactory.CreateObject("CrystalReports.BooleanSearchControl";)
BooleanSearchControl.ReportDocument = clientDoc
viewer.BooleanSearchControl = BooleanSearchControl
viewer.ProcessHttpRequest Request, Response, Session
%>
If I set viewer.EnableParameterPrompt = false then I get an erro upon clicking the viewer's refresh button (error is: Missing parameter values. webReporting.dll error '8004100e' ), but if I set viewer.EnableParameterPrompt = true, then I get the automatically generated prompts appear but they are all empty. Either way, RAS doesn't remember the supplied parameters. I know the parameters are being read by RAS as the report's contents prove this fact, but they are not remembered after refreshing. If the automatically generated prompts are filled in and submitted, subsequent refreshes work correctly.
How do I get the report viewer to reuse the parameters that have been set programmatically after a refresh? BTW, changing my implementation to anything other than using ASP against an unmanaged RAS server is not an option at this time.
Thanks in advance!
Dave.

Hi Dave,
I don't have a "nice" set of code lines but below hard codes one parameter name and value:
            ISCRParameterField newParameterField = new ParameterFieldClass();
            newParameterField.ParameterType = crParameterFieldTypeEnum.crParameterFieldTypeReportParameter;
            newParameterField.Name = "YourParamName"; // you can make a collection here
            newParameterField.ReportName = "";
            newParameterField.Type = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeStringField;
            newParameterField.AllowMultiValue = true;
            newParameterField.AllowCustomCurrentValues = true;
            Fields parameterFields = reportClientDocument.DataDefinition.ParameterFields;
            ISCRField existingParameterField;
            RowsetMetaData rowsetMetaData = new RowsetMetaDataClass();
            Fields fields = new FieldsClass();
            ArrayList defaultValues = new ArrayList();
            reportClientDocument.DataDefController.ParameterFieldController.SetCurrentValue("", @"YourParamName", @"YourParamValue");
Thanks again

This is the wrong forum for reports issues - particularly for such an old version :-) However, you'll have to write a user exit to do that kind of stuff. And no don't ask me how, it was all too long ago, but there should be a section on that in your manual.

Problems with accept () system call in Solaris 10

We are doing some prototyping in Solaris 10/Zones using TCP sockets and have encountered the problem the "accept" system call in Solaris 10 always seem to return immediately without waiting for clients to connect to it. The same program works fine under Solaris 9 without any problems.
So in the following call:
ssock = accept( sockfd, (struct sockaddr*)bind_address, &alen );
if( ssock < 0 )
printf( "Accept failed: ...\n" );
the program always prints "accept failed: " continuously. Is this a known issue?

The problem only occurs when we use INADDR_ANY to bind a socket. The program works as expected when we use real as well as virtual IP address configured for an interface on any Solaris Zone. When we use INADDR_ANY, error number is 14 (EFAULT, Bad Address).
Just wondering if we need to make any configuration changes in order to allow INADDR_ANY to work.

Problem in reports 6i while using delimiter option.

Hi,
I am facing problem in report writer while using delimiter option.
Report summary
==============
In my report I am having two queries in data model and two different repeating frame for each in layout.
These quires are called based on the user parameter. That means if user parameter is 1 then query 1 is called and the report is kick off and same for query 2 when user parameter is 2).
Problem Encountered
=================
Both these reports are running fine while using pdf option to generate report .
While using delimiter option only one of the query is able to generate report (based on which ever is created first and rest will give 0 byte file).
I have also trapped it while using messages and it is logically flowing fine.
I think report writer does not support such scenario.
please expedite on this.
thankx
peyush

Hi,
There are no such limitations with Reports. If I understand properly, you run the Report twice, in each run, you are trying to execute different query, and you generate two dilimited Reports output files? This should work fine. Try out the latest Reports 6i patch-10 for this. You can even approach Oracle Support with your testcase. FYI, with Reports 6i patch-11, a new feature "dlimited data" is introduced which will give delimited output with a data dump i.e it would not be dependent upon the Reports layout. You can probably try out this new feature also.
Thanks,
Rohit Hi Rohit,
Thanks for the information.
well I am generating single output file on each run .
the problem is somewhat funny.
I have build query2 in data model after query1.
query 1 is giving me correct output both in .PDF and delimiter version.
But query2 is giving me 0 byte file for delimiter version although in .PDF it is running fine.
When I took out query2 to another module it is running fine for both.
I hope this make sense.
Moreover if u still not clear about the problem and thinks that u can help me out please send me ur mail id so that I can send you the RDF copy.
Thanks

RAXINV - Strange problem in Report Builder

I'm having a very wierd problem in Report builder 6.0.8.27.0. I'm simply trying to add two additional columns to the AR Invoice report (RAXINV) so that they get included in the XML output. This report has a main query called Q_INVOICE which is basically a dummy query to set the column aliases and at the end of the query it does a UNION with the user parameter &common_query.
So, what I have done is gone into the common_query parameter and added the two extra dummy columns before the FROM statement (I've tried adding at different places but always the same result). Once that is done I've then gone into the Q_INVOICE query and added the same two columns. When I hit the OK button to update the query is when my problems start.
There is a group in the report called G_ORDER_BY that has the field ORDER_BY in it. After clicking ok to update the query the G_ORDER_BY now has a field called BILL_CUST_NAME1, but the XML tag is still saying ORDER_BY. This happens to many fields in the report (the names are changed/corrupted) and as such the report is now useless as it won't compile.
I have no idea why this would happen and I've never seen anything like this before.
Can anyone provide any help on this ? I've logged an SR on this too but wanted to try here also incase someone had already crossed this problem.

Dave,
Not sure if its relevant or not, but I just fixed this issue, you need to change your query in three places, common_query parameter, build_query program unit and the main query itself in report editor.
Cheers,
Zeeshan

Sign problem in Report

Hi Folks,
I have a problem in reporting.
We are getting a data from flat file and loaded in to ICELIM cube and later that will pull into Managerial Consolidation Cube.
P99T is account member and its ACCTYPE is EXP and its a parent member.
We created a one report based on ICELIM cube its showing negative values for the member P99T. Created another report based on Managerial Consolidation Cube, Here the same member showing Positive values.
Can any one please let me know what is the problem is?
I need Positive values in Both reports.
Regards,
G. Saida Reddy

Hi vadim,
Thank you for you response,
Recently I take over this project, Previously one guy is handled all those things.
But if "Descendants of P99T is Applicant count=EXP(ACCTYPE), FT=EXP(ACCTYPE), Applicant Rate= EXP(ACCTYPE)" then P99T is meaningless - how can you aggregate count, FT and rate????
Can you please let me know the what is the exact point your are saying from above.
we have positive signs for base members of ICELIM and Managerial Consolidation.
Now it is not possible to change moving data from ICELIM to Managerial Consolidation.
can you please let me now the issue for sign in the report?
Regards,
G. Saida Reddy

Problem printing report

I have a small problem printing reports which exist of 1 page.
1st report is printed OK
2nd one is bad
3rd one is bad
4rd one is bad
5th is OK again... and so further.
When I choose a different printer, all prints are OK. When I print from another PC on the same printer, all prints are OK.
I assume some settings are disturbing the prints; can anyone suggest where I should take a look?

are you using a dot matrix printer or a laser printer?
