Report builder in Web Tools

Does anyone know where I can find documentation on the Report Builder in Web Tools?
I've already looked at the documentation and e-learning but they do not seem to cover this topic.
Regards,
Douglas

In this post here:
[Re: How  to find out list of users who has logged into webtools|Re: How  to find out list of users who has logged into webtools]
I give an example of creating a report to see who has logged in.
Creating reports usually follows this methodology:
1) Enter in your query on the queries tab and give the section a name
2) On the Template screen, make sure the "section name =" tag matches up with one of your queries.
3) To display variables in your template you can use CAST in your SQL query and then it will be available as %%CastVariable%% or you can also use column titles in the same way %%ColumnName%%
4) The rest of the formatting is in standard HTML
Hope this helps some, I'll keep looking for good examples.

  • Different display on client report builder and web reports

    Hi all, I have build a report in report 6i version Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1.And I set the page to 8.5*11 ,and it runs well in the client ,but when I put it on the UNIX SERVER,and run it from web URL,It displayed different from the client report builder.The web report is "smaller" than the client report ,but the font size is as same as the client .
    My HPUX is 11x,and display the Chinese report .
    Any body know why ?give me some advice ,thank u very much.

    Hi
    If you had built the report definition on Windows and then moved this to Unix server, you may find different fonts in use. This is becuase your Unix setup does not have the same fonts install. At design time, You need to use fonts which are available on Unix also. The same fonts shaould also be installed for printer in Unix i.e. the AFM/PFM font files should be kept under $ORACLE_HOME/guicommonX/tkXX/admin/AFM or PFM directory. This would give you the same output and would lessen the porting affect.

  • Report Builder 3.0 launch issue in SharePoint Integration mode

    Hello,
    I'm facing issue when opening the report builder 3.0 tool. Report server is configured in SharePoint Integration mode. I already have the FQDN configured for report server and in SharePoint (AAM) but still it fails when the end user is trying to access
    the report builder 3.0.
    Just to brief on the instance setup;
    SQL box setup
    1. Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard/Enterprise edition with latest service packs and updates
    2. SQL Server 2008 R2 Enterprise edition with all features except Reporting Services installed and configured
    3. SQL Engine and Agent are configured in service account (domain account)
    Web box Setup
    1. Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard/Enterprise edition with latest service packs and updates
    2. IIS enabled with all the features
    3. SharePoint Foundation 2010 with SP2 installed in advanced mode and the database server is mentioned as above
    4. Farm is configured with domain account (farm account)
    5. Default site is configured with domain account (site account)
    6. Authentication used for default site is NT domain accounts
    7. AAM is setup for default site to use the FQDN (server.domain.com)
    8. SQL reporting services is installed (only) with service account (same account used which is configured in the SQL engine and agent in database server)
    9. Reporting Services add-in for SharePoint Foundation 2010 is installed
    10. Reporting Services is configured to use the FQDN, email settings is configured
    11. SharePoint Foundation 2010 is configured to use the Reporting Services (General Application Settings) by granting the access to database, integration the report server URL with windows authentication (used the SQL reporting services service account)
    12. Report Web services when clicked, open the Reporting Services window properly where it shows the SharePoint default site URL and on click shows the proper folders configured for use for reporting services
    13. Report Builder launch URL is specified as /_vti_bin/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder_3_0_0).application
    14. IIS restart done, SQL Reporting Services restart done, even web server reboot done
    15. When supplied the URL in browser as
    http://server.domain.com/_vti_bin/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder_3_0_0).application it start the clickonce window but after this immediately throws the error message as below.
    16. Also, I tried to open the Report Builder 1.0
    http://server.domain.com/_vti_bin/ReportBuilder/ReportBuilder.application it fails with same error message.
    17. After debugging several times, I am unable to resolve the issue.
    18. I tried re-installing the Reporting Services (first uninstalled, then reboot, then folder cleanup, then install Reporting Services) but no hopes and the issues remains same as "The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error."
    19. Also, I tried with the fresh machine, wiped out the VM, installed OS, IIS, SharePoint Foundation 2010, SQL Reporting Services, etc. again no luck, the issue remains same as "The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error."

  • Report Builder RDF, XML, REP and Version Control

    I'm looking to convert our existing RDF reports to XML format to better support version control and have a few questions.
    - Are there any issues with converting these RDF files to XML and developing them going forward?
    - When it's time to deploy to the server we'll convert them to RDF or REP. Any issues?
    - This question was asked before, [Thread: Oracle Reports Builder - RDF vs XML|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=721959], but that was over 3 years ago. Have the issues been resolved?

    Hi Michael,
    Per my understanding that you want to find a solution for version control when you design the report using the Report Builder 3.0, right?
    As you know that Report Builder is a tool which can only work on one single file instead of a project , so the current version of Report Builder doesn't have these capabilities. You can submit a feature request about it on the  Microsoft UserVoice site
    here: 
    http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/category/53187-sql-bi-tools-srs-ssis-ssas-
    Generally, visual Studio Team System and Visual Source Safe integrate with the Visual Studio/BIDS shell and third-party source control solutions like SVN managed from the file system play well with version control. So I would suggest you to consider use
    them instead.
    In conclusion, one possible workaround for you is that you can save all .rdl files in third part tool’s(TFS) workspace folder for version control purpose (check in, check out with the Windows Shell Extension), and you can use Report Builder to edit these
    report files. Then use Report Builder to deploy the .rdl file to Report Server.
    More details information about the version control for your reference:
    https://sqlserverbiblog.wordpress.com/tag/ssrs-version-control/ 
    Similar thread for your reference:

  • Web Layout different in Reports Builder to running in URL

    When I go to Run Web Layout for a report in the Oracle Reports Builder, the columns are formatted differently to when I run the report from a browser (ie. font is smaller and the columns seem to wrap when they seem to fit nicely when running Web Layout in the Reports Builder). In fact, it looks identical to what is shown in the 'paper layout' in the report editor.
    I have used 'desformat=htmlcss', so why does it look different? Can I make the browser version look like what is shown when running Web Layout in the Reports Builder? If so, how?
    Thanks
    Alison

    I am too facing the same problem for quite a long time and left it unresolved. So what i am doing for now is changing the font size and adjusting the paper layout manually.

  • Can't Launch the Web Report From Reports Builder

    Hi All: I just installed Oracle Reports 10g. I've used the product a lot an have never had a problem. This time when I press the "Run Web Layout" button, Reports works for several seconds and stops. THe Web page is not displayed in the Browser.
    If uninstalled Reports Builder and reinstalled. I'm at a loss as to what to look for.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated?
    John

    I'm in exactly the same position.
    Normally I just do some work, hit Ctrl+R to run it and get my output.
    Now it just sits there for a while, and then the web browser trys to go to this address :
    C:\Documents and Settings\hilliers\Local Settings\Temp\docroot\test report07602672.htm
    which is a blank page.
    I thought it was meant to run a reports servlet, but that could be just my memory.
    However - I've noticed that in this report, there is no + next to Web Source in the object navigator, which I think means there is no web layout. So the report actually is running, but has no output.
    Thats my guess anyway.

  • Report Builder 1.0 for SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2

    We are trying to implement Ad-Hoc Reporting using SSRS 2008 R2.
    First of all, it is very unhelpful that all SSRS books are for either 2008 or 2012, even though SSRS has major changes in 2008 R2 compared to 2008.
    Our instructional materials indicate that we should build Report Models to abstract out our databases into terms familiar to our business users.
    The problem we are having is the difference in functionality between Report Builder 1.0 and Report Builder 3.0. Report Builder 3.0 is touted as having the modern, ribbon based interface that is supposed to make end-users feel more comfortable.  However,
    all the documentation says that end users are supposed to use Report Builder 1.0 for Ad-Hoc Reporting.  And, it seems, that the reports generated by Report Builder 1.0 are not round-trip compatible with all the other reporting tools for SSRS 2008 R2.
    The documentation we have illustrates that Report Builder 1.0 is nice for Ad-Hoc reporting, because is based on connecting directly to Report Models, and the end users can directly drag-and-drop entities and fields into their reports.
    When we try working with Report Builder 3.0, it seems we must first connect to the Report Model as a Data Source and then build a Dataset query on the Report Model.  Only then are some entity attributes available to be dropped into the report. 
    If the user decides another source column is needed, they have to go back, edit the query, save the query, and then drag the column from the Dataset to the report.  This does not seem end user friendly at all!
    We are also concerned that if we train our users on the seemingly soon-to-be-obsolete Report Builder 1.0, and get them used to having direct Report Model access, that at some point we will have to move them to the Dataset-interrupted approach of Report Builder
    2+.  Highlighting this perception of impending obsolescence of Report Builder 1.0 is that in our shop that is starting with SSRS 2008 R2, we cannot figure out how to get a copy of Report Builder 1.0 in the first place.
    We just don't see our end users being savvy enough to handle the steps involved with creating Datasets on top of Report Model Data Sources.  So we would have to build the Datasets for them.  But in that case, what point is there in creating any
    Report Models in the first place if DBAs are the ones to make Datasets?
    As such, it is hard to envision a forward-looking SSRS implementation that has the end user ease-of-use Ad-Hoc reporting that the SSRS 2008 documentation presents.
    What is it that Microsoft actually wants/expects SSRS implementers to do?

    Hi Dan,
    Report Builder 1.0
    Simple template-based reports
    Requires report model
    Supports only SQL Server, Oracle, and Analysis Services as data sources
    Supports RDL 2005
    Bundled in SSRS
    Report Builder 2.0 or later
    Full-featured reports as the BIDS Report Designer
    Doesn't require (but supports) report models
    Supports any data source
    Supports RDL 2008
    Available as a separate web download
    In your scenario, you want to use Report Builder 1.0 in SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2, I am afraid this cannot achieve. Report Builder 1.0 is available in the box in either SQL 2005 or SQL 2008. It is not available as a separate client apps and is
    only available as a click once application.
    Report Builder 1.0
    Report Builder 3.0
    Thank you for your understanding.

  • Error REP-0118 on Report Builder

    Hi,
    I develop Reports with Report Builder Version: 6.0.8.20.1

    There are no local installations. All environement setting and tools are netbased(not web).
    And now my problem.
    I have a Formsapplication. In this Formsappl. I starting the Report.
    If I work under Windows NT all works fine.
    But if I work under Windows XP (under the same environement) I get the following Errorsituation.
    - I start the Report from the Forms.
    - The Reportsbackgroundengine is starting and works fine.
    The status of the Report is "initialising"
    - At this point I get the errormessage from ReportsBuilder
    (why not from Reports RunTime, under Windows NT starts
    the Reports-Runtime)
    The error-message is:
    REP-0118: temorary file can not be created (I have it
    translated from german)
    Both Reports are starting from Forms under the same environementsetting and workconditions. The only change is the different Operatingsystem.
    And I can't find the errorexplanation for REP-0118 everywhere.

  • Views on CF Report Builder and Crystal Report

    Dear all,
    I would like to get your opinions on CF Report Builder and
    Crystal Report.
    As we all know, CF Report Builder is a new reporting tool.
    But I find it very difficult to design a complex report maybe due
    to limitation in its functionalities. Sometimes the tool shutdowns
    by itself without any warning and reason. But the output is nicely
    presented on a flash paper / pdf and it can be run on non-MS
    platforms.
    On the other hand, Crystal Report is a more matured product
    but runs only on MS platform. It is very easy to use and very
    powerful. I have been using it for almost 10 years. But the output
    is not nicely presented on the web browser unless if we purchase
    Crystal Report Enterprise to generate the report which is very
    costly.
    Can you all share your views? I need to make decision which
    tool(s) to use. Really appreciate it.
    Cheers,
    Keiko

    Hi Keiko,
    Yes, CF Report builder is new and initially there was few
    issues with this. But I guess now it's good after hotfixes.
    Well, I am using CF Report Builder. It's good for me. You can
    also design and develop complex reports, that depends upon the
    query you are writing. You can also add subreports to your main
    reports.
    Mainly CF Report is platform independent and you can also
    generate reports in PDF, EXCEL and FlashPaper.
    Crystal Report is no doubt is very good, and it's there for
    long years. I agree you can create complex reports with this, but
    you also can do the same in CF also. You are using this for last 10
    years, so I guess you should try something new and that is CF
    Report Builder and you can judge then.
    I am sure you will have fun with CF.
    Thanks

  • Reporting with Report Builder 3.0 and SQL Server 2008 R2

    Hi everyone
    I'm trying really hard to find books about Report Builder 3.0 or SQL Server 2008 R2
    I found the following books on the "learn" site, sadly they do not cover Report Builder 3.0 or SQL Server 2008 R2 since there all too old.
    Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Analysis Services Step by Step
    Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 MDX Step by Step
    Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008 Reporting Services Step by Step
    What are good books (like the ones above) for the newest system?

    Hello wishmasterIN,
    Thank you to post your question on TechNet forum.
    Based on my experience, the books are always delayed to the new technology, since the author need time to summarize and analyze the new features in the new product or technology, write it down and publish it. If you want to have a quick learning about the
    new technology, MSDN library is a good place. It can be a cookbook for you. It contains some detail steps for tools, such as Report Builder or BIDS. It also contains many new features introduction. It is always very useful for you to understand the new features.
    In addition, it is based on web and many links make you can jump to the other technical point freely. The most important is all of these is free and all the information will be updated if the new feature is released.
    In short, if you want to learn the latest technology about Microsoft product, MSDN is a good choice. I hope my introduction is helpful to you.

  • JSP graph image works in Reports Builder but not in JDev9i

    Robin,
    None of these changes work. What else should I check?
    In the rwservlet.properties file (not rwserver.properties **)
    I changed #IMAGEURL=http://<web_server_name>:<port_num>/reports/rwservlet
    to IMAGEURL=C:\Oracle\Oracle9iDS2\reports\cache\
    or
    IMAGEURL=http://<web_server_name>:<port_num>/servlet/oracle.reports.rwclient
    .RWClient
    [IMAGEURL=http://163.249.38.151:8988/servlet/oracle.reports.rwclient.RWClient]
    [IMAGEURL=http://163.249.38.151:8888/servlet/oracle.reports.rwclient.RWClient]
    Would my localhost name and http port be the in-process JDeveloper OC4J listener?
    Also my ports keep being reassigned (up one number) when I terminate the embedded OC4J server and run the JSP again. (That is what you meant by restart the server, right?) from 8988 to 8989 to 8990 etc.
    John Williams
    Hi John,
    The reason that you aren't seeing that graph in JDeveloper is that rwservlet
    isn't available with the JDeveloper in-process OC4J listener. The OC4J
    listener is the minimum requirement. In addition, Reports forces the graph
    to be retrieved via the Reports server for security reasons. Ie: you
    shouldn't be able to get at graph images simply by knowing their URL. In
    the Reports builder environment, security is not the issue so there is a
    direct reference to the file.
    Now, when you're running from JDeveloper, you need to tell Reports how it
    should configure the URL. Reports runs in a secure mode by default to
    retrieve the images and, since JDeveloper is calling it as a through a Web
    listener, it is responding to a normal request and hence forcing the image
    to be retrieved via rwservlet.
    To tell Reports to access images directly or through another listener, you
    need to alter the %ORACLE_HOME%\reports\conf\rwserver.properties file and
    uncomment and change the following line: **
    #IMAGEURL=http://<web_server_name>:<port_num>/reports/rwservlet
    to
    IMAGEURL=C:\Oracle\Oracle9iDS2\reports\cache\
    Or
    IMAGEURL=http://<web_server_name>:<port_num>/servlet/oracle.reports.rwclient
    .RWClient
    Where <web_server_name> and <port_num> are the values of the in-process
    JDeveloper OC4J listener.
    You will need to re-start the Reports server. This should generate the
    appropriate link to the image when run from JDeveloper.
    When you deploy your application through a standard iAS OC4J instance
    containing the Reports Servlet, this IMAGEURL entry should again be
    commented out. Since the servlet is available in this iAS OC4J instance,
    the images will appear when referenced through rwservlet.
    Robin.
    When I leave the server parameter attribute out my GraphReport.jsp runs
    from JDev9i (using the same server as Reports Builder). The only thing
    missing now is the graph after my report. It shows up as a small square
    image tag.

    I found out the answer to both of my problems.
    1) for the missing graph image
         In the documentation link below I found a pdf file that gave the details.
    In the rwservlet.properties file in the IMAGEURL attribute
    the part that was missing is after the port #.
    IMAGEURL=http://<host>:<port>/<Workspace>-<Project>-context-root
    /servlet/oracle.reports.rwclient.RWClient
    2) for the port conflict - switch from the 'ojvm' virtual machine to 'hotspot'
         so that the embedded OC4J server is killed when it is terminated.
    I found these answers under Oracle Technology Network > documentation

    1.19 Oracle JDeveloper Integration
    1.19.2 Graph Not Appearing in Oracle JDeveloper
    When running a JSP report with the rw:graph tag in Oracle JDeveloper, the image is not visible in the browser. To fix this problem, set the IMAGEURL in the rwservlet.properties file in ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf:
    IMAGEURL=http://<host>:<port>/<Workspace>-<Project>-context-root
    /servlet/oracle.reports.rwclient.RWClient
    1.19.3 Reports In-process Server
    If the Java Virtula Machine (JVM) is set to ojvm, minimal, or vanilla in Oracle JDevelopers Virtual Machine settings (Project Settings -> Runner -> Virtual Machine), the rwservlet's in-process server is not killed when JDevelopers embedded OC4J server is terminated. As a result, a port conflict occurs the next time that OC4J is started.
    To avoid this problem, do one of the following:
    Set the JVM to Java Virtual Machine to hotspot.
    Disable the in-process server in ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/rwservlet.properties and
    use the standalone Reports Server instead.

  • Using Report Builder to make Letters

    I am trying to use report builder to create templates for
    letters and other multi-page documents, the query automatically
    inserts data from a database (the price of something for example).
    Whenever I try to fit the document in report builder it says
    something like "Report compilation error. Report design not valid :
    1. The title section, the page and column headers and footers and
    the margins do not fit the page height. " Is there any way to get
    this text to automaticaly go to the next page instead of just
    giving me an error? A better way to do this would also be great (I
    have templates in .rtf format with bookmarks where query objects
    go)

    Hi Rajan,
    Reporting Services provides two report authoring tools: Report Builder and Report Designer in BIDS/SSDT. Whether you can design an Ad-hoc report based on Web Service data source depends on the version of the Report Builder. In Report Builder 1.0, we can
    only use report model to design a report. In Report Builder 2.0 or higher, we can use the built-in XML data source type that can retrieve data from Web service to design a report.
    The Report Builder 1.0 is available in SSRS 2005. For SSRS 2008, we can upgrade the Report Builder to Report Builder 2.0 by installing the SQL Server 2008 PCU1. For SSRS 2008 R2 or SSRS 2012, the Report Builder 3.0 is included natively.
    References:

    Note: The second link is for Report Designer in SSRS 2005 and also applies to Report Builder 2.0 or higher.
