.RDF file: Need info

Hi,
I have a .rdf file but I don't have report builder installed in machine. Is theere any way to view the underline sql in the data model?
I heard that there are some options where rdf can be converted to rtf file and then in microsoft word the underline query can be visible. Is it tru?
Thanks

Actually for that also you need Report Builder / the related executables.

Need help on How to edit RDF file to see fields

Hi all ,
Thank you all for being helping
could please someone explain where and how to edit the RDF file to view the code and fields, sometimes we need extra fields to add in the RTF templates.
And if I get XML file from EBS, on top of the page of xml file tags says <RAXINV>
how can i able to see this RAXINV short name in EBS on particular application to view fields and other info reg report,that way I can see columns and tablenames by using Help- ->record history, and Diagonise that particular report.
any help please
vasu

Hi Srinuk, I'm not sure what you mean?
An EBS report (RDF) "root" tag will always start with the "module" name in the property pallete of the report itself. Your XML tags and nestings are a direct result of your data model groupings combined with whatever your layout is defined as?
Looking at a record history within EBS only tells you what table the form is looking at and I can't see what this has to do with an EBS report definition unless I'm missing something in your question.
You need to open the RDF to getting the data model to understand the XML tags.

Dear Olga12,
Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
When i suggested the solution to my client for creating two separate templates attached to same data definition , they declined and argued that we cant create 2 separate templates for all reports( more than 200 reports).
Is there any way to create the PDF/EXCEL from same RDF other than creating two separate templates ?
Thanks ,

File, get info, does not allow me to add grouping

This function used to work - File, get info. I could then change Artist, Album, Grouping, Genre, etc. Now for some reason, I can get the window to pop up, but everything is grayed out. I can see the info but cannot edit it. The only thing in black for editing is the start and stop time for the song. I don't want to edit this. I need to add a grouping title. This function used to work before the last program upgrades. Does anyone know why this might not be working? Is there a magic box somewhere that needs to be clicked on? Please help.

I had to go to were the songs were location on my hard drive and chance the security to allow full control then I could change it on iTunes

How to check the report builder version from the rdf file

Hi,
I have a rdf file but I don't the developer using which version of report builder to develop the rdf file. So, does anyone knows how to check the rdf file is developed by which version of report builder?
When I try to use the notepad to open the rdf file, it shows the string "ROS.60050". So, does it means that the rdf file is developed by Oracle report 6i?
Besides, do anyone knows if Oracle report 6i are still offer from Oralce (as I know, the latest verison of oracle report is 11g). So, in case Oralce not offer oracle 6i and I need to buy oracle report 11g, do u know it is compatiable or I need to do the migration from 6i to 11g?
Thanks!

Hi,
The ROS version you are seeing in the RDF file does not mean the version where that RDF was developed. I am not aware of a way to check this but something that may help is that when you try to open a RDF developed in a higher version
of Reports with a lower version of Reports builder the following warning will be displayed
Warning. Opening a report saved with a newer version of Reports Builder.
Functionality may be lost. Continue?
"You tried to open a report with a version of Reports Builder older than the version used to
create the report. If the report uses functionality unavailable in the older version, that
functionality will be eliminated from the report.
Regarding Oracle Developer 6i. This version is not supported any more. Regarding how to upgrade Reports 6i to 11g and what to have in mind during the upgrade please review the following documentation.

Can't Find File/Dir info Error 3 :: 30 and (-43)

Please help me with this issue. There's very little previous mention anywhere about this sort of problem.
I'm trying to open an After Effects file that I haven't opened in a while, and the footage I used in the project has since been deleted. When I click it to open it it gives me the message:
After Effects Error: finding file/dir info for file "C://user// yada yada yada....Segment2.aep" file not found (-43)
3 :: 30
All my plugins are still intact and I've tried everything mentioned on the one other thread about 3::30 (which only contained one suggestion).
I really need to access this file as I did a lot of work in there that I can use again and save days of work, even though the footage the file used is gone.
Thank you in advance!
-Raphi

Oh, well it looked from your initial description that you had possibly imported an After Effects project into another After Effects project.
That being said, you may want to try the very same thing to see if you can salvage you seemingly corrupt project file. Try to create a brand new After Effects project, and import the file that you're trying to open (Segment2.aep) into the new project. If the file isn't corrupted, it should import.
Aside from that, if you have a backup of your old project, I'd suggest trying to restore it.

Need info on a version of iTunes that lets you download album artwork without account?

i need info on a version of iTunes that lets u download artwork without account?

There is no "version" of iTunes that let's you download artwork without an account. However, it's simple to search online for the artwork by using the album name. Amazon is a good place to start.
Simply copy the artwork and paste it into iTunes by selecting the complete albuum and clicking File/Get Info and pasting into the artwork box. I usually use pictures that are 300x300 pixels.

File/Directory Info

my code is causing an issue here...using the File/Directory Info, when no file is found, i want to ignore it and not have the pop up...
can someone please help me..a diagram would be greatly appreciated..
i dont know how to fix it because i really don't understand how this VI give out the error, and I dont have very well understanding of the simple error handler...
i was going through the forum and found this infomation that is useful
"To avoid the pop-ups all you need to do is wire the error cluster and handle the error. In this case, check the error number.
If it is an error you want to ignore, pass an empty error cluster on. If you don't want to ignore it, pass the original error cluster.""
thanks in advance..

Put report .rdf file and .xml customization

hi frnds,
where can i keep .rdf file and .xml file (for customization)? shall i keep on application server? now, to generate report i've written one script ...where can i keep this?
-bhavin

Hi Tim,
Context: R12 France Telecom (FT) migration from 11i
FT Reports are complex and the quantity of data / size of files generated by reports can reach up to 20Go. So I need to convert RDF to DATA Template because RDF can not generate some so big files (limit=2Go in 11i and may be 10Go in 12)
I experience some troubles / issues / limits with reports conversion to XML.
1 - some Data templates are not generated because of error : [052107_102109040][][EXCEPTION] java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0. I sent you 2 mails in the past with error detail but have no answer.
2 - Data Templates are not directly usable because Reports include call to packages stored in PLL files. Pakages definition are well include in XML file generated by Report converter (1st step of conversion) but are not take in account when PL/SQL routine generation (Data template generation).
Can you help me especially for the 1st issue
I'd like to show a XMLP demo to FT using the Data source generator XDODTEXE in GL. I see XDOGLDEMO and GLGENJRNDT concurrent programs but there is no Data Definition / XML Data Template associated. Can you tell me if it exists a Data Template and where it can be retrieved from.

File version info

I would like to find a way to get the file version info of an exe. I have tried the file info from openG but it does not get the version info. I looked on the MS website and found the .NET function called file version info that is supposed to be under system diagnostics but when I bring up the constuctor node it does not show up . Everything else that is supposed to be in there shows up. I want this info so that I can create a generic about dialog box for my exe. If anyone knows of an easier way to do this I would appreciate any answer.
PS I used the application builder to set the version Info..
Using LV 8.0

Hi Rolf,
Thanks for your
help with the VarFileInfo\Translation resource. I realized this was a
hole in the programs functionality, and I knew a workaround, but I was
never sure how valid the workaround was. Defaulting to the English
language code does sound like a good idea. It definitely works for
LabVIEW.exe. I never bothered implementing this since this was designed
for LabVIEW-built exes, not LabVIEW itself. LabVIEW-built exes do
contain the VarFileInfo\Translation resource. I also built this in
LabVIEW 8, since that was the first version that allowed users to
specify executable versions and other info for their applications. But
it is nice as a general tool!
Hmm, thinking about
it there is possibly one more improvement. If the default english
language does not provide any string resources another possibility
might be to retrieve the current language codes from the user settings
and try with them too. But this sounds quite academical as I can't
imagine an installer manipulating the version resource of an executable
according to the currently set user language. I will have to
investigate a little more what the issue is with files not containing
any translation keys.
As to manipulating the version resource of LabVIEW executables I have
made some code too for this in the past for earlier LabVIEW versions
but found that manipulating the exe part of an executable in any way
after it has been built into an application renders the executable
unusable to run as there needs also to be some modifications at the end
of the file to point to the start of the embedded LLB in the
executable, so that was why I haven't made a tool of this yet. Glad to
see that LabVIEW 8 finally has support for adding a proper version
resource to the executable.
