Grant the access rights to manager run the work flow history report without edit /delete rights

I found that only Team Member / Workspace creator / Administrator can run
the work flow history report. However, we have a Purchase Order request
which need ask the supervisor for 1st approval and manager for 2nd approval.
But those managers want to see who prepare the P.O. and supervisor done the
first approval before their 2nd approval. How can I can grant the access
right to the manager to run the work flow history report for this purpose? I
tried grant the role "team member" to those manager, however, it will also
allow them to modify or delete the entry as they are the team member, but we
only want allow those managers can approve the entry and view the work flow
history without other acces such as add/delete/edit to prevent the human
mistake.
Pls advise how can I do this? Thanks!

Create a new role in teaming can fulfill this requirement. Thanks!

Sum function do not work in oracle reports enhanced spreadsheet format

we are using oracle reports 10.1.2.3 in our oracle application server 10gr2 and we are creating enhanced spreed sheet.And the report opens in MS excel fine.But we can not apply any formula like VALUE,SUM,AVG on that report after opening it into excel.First we thought that it may be because of the comma in the number filed.we removed that comma from the filed but t still gives the error "Error in value"

Hi,
I hope you already solved this problem, I had the same issue after spending an hour I found the workaround, this is just for the guys who experience the same issue. Try to format your number columns either at database level(not via Report builder property palette) with TO_CHAR(...) OR use this Format Mask at Report level to format your numbers -NNNGNNNGNN0D000(negative sign must be there to avoid space in output Excel).
Hope it helps,

Is it Possible to upload the output from Oracle reports To Access database

Hi All,
Wish you All a Very Happy New Year.
I have a query.Is it possible to
upload the output from the Oracle reports
to the Access database???
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
TIA
sg

Hi sg,
Research the DDE option.
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) is a mechanism by which applications can communicate and exchange data in Windows.
I have imported data into the excel spreadsheet using DDE built in functions. I am sure it can work with MS Acess as well. If not, then you need to create a 2 step process .. reports -> excel -> access.

WITH Clause query doesn't work in Oracle Reports.

Hi Gurus,
I'm using a WITH clause query and need to build a report using the same query.
But when i'm trying to build a report, query is giving error as "WITH clause table or view doesn't exists".
But the same query perfectly works in sql prompt.
Oracle Reports doesn't supports WITH clause query?
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Onkar

I ran into a similar problem before and worked around it by moving the query to a pipelined function in the database as described at WITH clause unexpectedly causes ORA-00942 in Reports Builder
Hope this helps.

FormatTrigger on line is not working in Oracle Reports

Hi there,
I am using Oracle Reports 6i and trying to format code as follows :
I have three sections of data say a,b,c.
1) If there is no data returned in Section b and c, then I need to print a line just after section a ends.
2) If there is no data in section c but section a and b have data, then line should not appear after section a, but after section b
3) If all sections are having data , then line should appear after section c.
Format trigger for after section A
function B_2FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
declare
ret_val boolean;
begin
ret_val := false;
if :CS_MATERIAL_TERMS = 0 and :cf_mh_count = 0 then
ret_val := true;
end if;
return ret_val;
end;
end;
format trigger after section B
function B_4FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
declare
ret_val boolean;
begin
ret_val := false;
if :CS_MATERIAL_TERMS = 0 and :cf_mh_count <> 0 then
ret_val := true;
end if;
return ret_val;
end;
end;
format trigger after section C
function B_9FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
return (TRUE);
end;
:CS_MATERIAL_TERMS = is the summary column which defines data in section C
:cf_mh_count= is the formula column which defines the data in section B
current issue is that.. in some cases the line is appearing after section A, though section B has data
Please help...
Thanks.

How to set the working directory for reports in linux

Hi All,
Can you anyone help me to set the working directory for oracle application server 10g reports? I am using RHEL4 and AS10g. Actually i want to run my reports from my define
working directory. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance
Arif

Hi,
your rep_srv.conf should look like something like
+<?xml version = '1.0' encoding = 'ISO-8859-1'?>+
+<!DOCTYPE server PUBLIC "-//Oracle Corp.//DTD Reports Server Configuration //EN" "file:D:\oracle\FRHome_1/reports/dtd/rwserverconf.dtd">+
+<server version="10.1.2.0.2">+
++
++
+<cache class="oracle.reports.cache.RWCache">+
+<property name="cacheSize" value="50"/>+
++
++
++
+</cache>+
+<engine id="rwEng" class="oracle.reports.engine.EngineImpl" initEngine="1" maxEngine="3" minEngine="0" engLife="50" maxIdle="30" callbackTimeOut="90000" jvmOptions="-Xmx512M -Xss512K">+
++
++
++
+</engine>+
+...+
some more definitions
+..+
++
+<pluginParam name="xmlpds" type="file">xmlpds.conf</pluginParam>+
+<pluginParam name="jdbcpds" type="file">jdbcpds.conf</pluginParam>+
+<pluginParam name="textpds" type="file">textpds.conf</pluginParam>+
*<environment id="APP1">*

*+</environment>+*
*+<environment id="APP2">+*
*+<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="/application2/reports"/>+*
+</environment>+
+</server>+
The environment ids you can choose yourself and you have to put them in there yourself too (here I put two environments for two different applications "1" and "2").
If you call a report from Forms, then you have to code something like
ADD_PARAMETER(p_list,'ENVID',TEXT_PARAMETER,'APP1');
Details depend on how you call your reports, my example is for using a parameter list and calling a report out of application1
Hope that helps.

Working with Oracle Reports

I got oracle reports APEX integration working like the how to, and even got the SSO to work, but here are some issues I'm having.
1) Using ODM is a nightmare, not fun at all. I would like to use databse usernames/passwords, not separate LDAP.
2) when you specify the SSO connection, you ahve to hard code it for everyone.
I was wondering if anyone was able to use Oracle Reports without using SSO, and not specifying username/password in the URL. Maybe, configuring Reports to use the DAD?
Anyone have any luck with this?
Thanks,
Scott

Wow, searching for stuff about integrating oracle reports is a nightmare, I think I found the approach I am going to use, editing the cgicmd.dat file for now. Until, we convert our entire application to a SSO with enterprise level accounts, it's probably going to be using this.
MY question is this, I was hoping to mask the URLs, thought embedding the report as a URL region in ApEx, but that didn't seem to work at all. Is it possible to use a PDF as a URL region? When I used the report I got something like teh following:
%PDF-1.4 1 0 obj << /Creator (Oracle9iAS Reports Services) /CreationDate (D:20070313125453) /ModDate (D:20070313125453) /Producer (Oracle PDF driver) /Title () /Author (Oracle Reports) >> endobj 5 0 obj <> stream Gat=->Ar7S'RgRSs$0s/huU7'4/KS9Ngb96CtDRJok?)m\+Sl1XfZF,^E9Wl-'>Lb!i]Stn2lEg I]1HLoRtV&KIJ$c`%WUB:/B0l6GQ)&K&YhTal$b)o]PN0n)$D#fBGjRl+b=l#cfP/_\#TCQhq([ eW/H(4FlVDPKUff6L&!0&P+BZ8;;p/T`>@j1C=o,22h2/Jktt+>'$Gf;k!nc'fWsoS6^"6WV8`p RN(t1"i9k$SEc(BLGphdT@UgEDT\$q9:m-8I-`(!18MlWqF$&UOUA&No$qos#P6d#H3Z\e1K4MW asZsir?pJHU2VO3MI9\f#=42H97A\u9/L]`M0bP5%02M=X]kc.km/Y2!,N^2J?k1<&tj06EIV9.

Utl_file.fgetattr not working in Oracle Reports

Hi there,
I try to use the utl_file.fgetattr function in an Oracle Report program unit as below, but it returns that the file does not exist. However executing it in TOAD or SQL Developer it return that the file exists.
utl_file.fgetattr('directory', 'filename.ext', v_exists, v_length, v_blocksize);
IF v_exists THEN
srw.message(100, 'The file exists.');
ELSE
srw.message(100, 'The file does not exist.');
END IF;
What could be the problem?
Thanks in advance!
Edited by: user13428604 on 2012.02.13. 9:26

You have to use utl_file inside the database. So, move your code to a stored procedure and call that procedure from Reports.

Problem in finding Exact result by using the following in Oracle Reports 6i

Hello,
I am finding difficulty in producing the required result by using the following query in Reports 6i
(Note: - The query actual output and the my required output are as follows: -)
SELECT
DISTINCT
SH.S_HEAD_CODE,
B.BILL_ID,
B.SANCTION_DATE,
E.EMP_NAME,
E.EMP_DESIGNATION,
B.TOTAL_BILL,
NVL((SH.INITIAL_ALLOCATION-B.TOTAL_BILL), 0) BALANCE
FROM BILL B, PARAMETERS P,SUB_HEAD SH, EMPLOYEES E, BILL_DETAIL BD
WHERE
SH.S_HEAD_CODE=B.S_HEAD_CODE
AND B.S_HEAD_CODE=BD.S_HEAD_CODE
AND B.EMP_ID_NO=E.EMP_ID_NO
AND B.BILL_ID=BD.BILL_ID
The Output of the above query is as follows: -
Let say we have Total Amount Sanctioned Rs. 15,000,00/-
Name Total Bill (Rs.) Balance (Rs.)
Sohail 7147 1492853
Saqib 2131 1497869
Amir 6802 1493198
Shafiq 1214 1498786
Note:- In the above output the above query is subtracting the current balance from Total Sanctioned Amount (Rs. 1500000) each time, but
it should actually subtract the current bill amount from the previous balance like the below said result.
Name Total Bill (Rs.) Balance (Rs.)
Sohail 7147 1492853 {Previous Balance - Current Bill Amount (1500000-7147) }........ The previous balance was actual amount Rs. 1500000
Saqib 2131 1490722 {Previous Balance - Current Bill Amount (1492853 - 2131)}
Amir 6802 1483920 {Previous Balance - Current Bill Amount (1490722 - 6802)}
Shafiq 1214 1482706 {Previous Balance - Current Bill Amount (1483920 - 1214)}
Results Continue...........................
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you in advance

Its more like the case of a running total ...
You could analytical functions to achieve it or make the BILL a subquery of the BALANCE.
Try posting your query in the "SQL and PL/SQL" forum, veteran members there, can provide better answers.

Output does NOT match the layout in Oracle Report Developer

Good afternoon,
I am extremely frustrated. I have been designing a report that has boilerplate text that is a list of questions and possible answers. Those choices typically are "Not Answered", "Yes","No", and "Unknown". I placed a box beside each choice and place a capital X in the appropriate box, based on the results in the database. When I run the report, the text overlays text above, the grey boxes do not show and in general, the output doesn't match the layout.
Sometimes, the questions may relate to other things and there may be as many as 10 or 12 choices. Some of those choices will be exclusive (only 1 of the 10) other times, the answer would be a "Check all that apply" type of condition.
It appears to happen when a report reaches a certain level of complexity although I can't determine just where that threshold is at.
I can't seem to paste an image here to show the layout and the results.
Has anyone else experienced this? Anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this?
I've opened an SR with Oracle Support, but don't expect a quick answser.
Thanks,
Don.

DC,
EUREKA!!! It works. DC, you rock. Oracle Support is still stewing about this one. I'll update my SR to let them know. It seems a silly thing, but the "biggest" change I made was changing the 'X' from a fixed-based-font to a variable-font (was courier and I changed to Times New Roman and selected a smaller font size). Although, just for insurance, I expanded the box a tad also.
Thanks. It shouldn't be this hard, but sometimes, it is.
ps: I'm a 'DC' also, whatever that's worth...

How can i do the following in oracle reports

Hi,
I have a query that can give me details of the commission for my clients branchwise. We can put the duration, e.g. January, 2009 to June, 2009, which gives me the result for sum of this duration. and in one single column. My concern here is how can i distribute the duration single month wise like following:
Branch Name Jan 2009 Feb 2009 March 2009....
Client Name1
Client Name2
Client Name3
Can anyone suggest like how can i do it on report builder or on SQL.
Thank you.

For posting example data and outputs you should use the tags before and after your example data. For more details see FAQ on forum's page right corner.

How to select the Printer in Oracle Reports 6i R2 (Windows 7)

Hi,
In a client site they have more than one printer suppose one is dot matrix and other one is laser printer or some other brands.
They take printouts in both. Recently I installed Oracle Forms & Reports 6i R2 Runtimes in some Windows 7 32 bit PCs. In those PCs, its not allow to choose the printer, it print with windows default printer.
So Is there any way to give an option to select the printer...??
Thank You.

Client/Server version:
- D2KWUTIL.PLL library provides a 'Select Printer' dialog box to be used in Forms: WIN_API_DIALOG.SELECT_PRINTER
http://guenter-huerkamp.dyndns.org/oracle-doc/docs/html/d2kwutil.html
I suggest you to create a form to invoke the report, allowing user to select the printer and then pass it as parameter DESNAME
