Report destype=localfile problem

Hi everybody,
I have the following problem:
When I execute a report in the browser like this:
http://myserver/reports/rwservlet?report=prueba.rdf&userid=a/b@c&destype=file&desformat=pdf&desname=myfile.pdf
everything goes well and the file "myfile.pdf" is generated in "myserver".
When trying to get the file in the client executing like this:
http://myserver/reports/rwservlet?report=prueba.rdf&userid=a/b@c&destype=localfile&desformat=pdf&desname=myfile.pdf
the report finishes well, as indicated in the server's queue, but the file doesn't appear in the client or in the server.
Is there anything I am doing wrong?
Just in case you give me an answer to the problem, if I submit the report from the BBDD, via the SRW package, is the server in which the BBDD the client?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Rodolfo.
First of all thank you for your answer.
Maybe it depends on the version you are working with. I work with Reports Builder 10.
If you look at the Destype System Parameter there are 7 options: screen, file, printer, mail, sysout, cache and localfile.
In the "Help" says for DESTYPE=LOCALFILE:
Valid only for rwservlet, rwclient, and rwcgi. Sends the output to a file on the client machine and forces a synchronous call.
And that is my case because I am using rwservlet.

  • Store reports in client m/c using destype=localFile in rwservlet

    Hi,
    i am trying to store the reports in client machine using rwservlet(http://<<report server name>>:7777/reports/rwservlet). i gave the destype as localFile. but in screen displays a msg : "Oracle Job Status" as some number. i cannot able to trace what is the reason for this problem. If any one knows to generate reports and store that in client side using rwservlet, let me know. i badly require solution for this. Thanks in advance.
    regards,
    srini

    Hi,
    The job status is to indicate the process of the job, it was run ok you can go to the location specified in the URL to look for the report. I assume that you also have a report's name in the URL too.
    The problrm is it cannot save to the local machine. IF you specified a location that is not on the server then you would have gotten an error saying that the device is not ready, cannot send output... If you specified a drive that is similar to the server then the output went to the server, for example, you put c:\ then the report went to C:\ on the server, or if you put c:\mydir but that directory does not exist on the server then you would have gotten the error.
    All above applies to running the report outside the form and in the 9i environment, using the browser and providing the URL. Now, in the URL, for IE only, if you don't add &desname=.... part then YOU WILL GET THE SAVE AS DIALOG then you CAN SAVE to the local machine. The problem is if you save it as a PDF file then you won't be able to open it (you will see an error), somehow it did not close the file at the end of the save properly; if you save it as a RTF file then you can open it with any text editor just that the layout is messed up.
    Now, if calling from the form the report will go the location on the server as before, but it also brings up on the screen and you can save it locally using the SAVE button of the editor.
    Below is my url when running from browser:
    http://igoracledba:7777/reports/rwservlet?report=f:\9ifiles\sirc_case_report.rep&userid=hotline/hotline@desgnr9i&server=report9i&destype=localfile&desformat=pdf&desname=c:\myreport.pdf -- will save to c:\ on server (this is also used in the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT in the form).
    http://igoracledba:8888/reports/rwservlet?report=f:\9ifiles\sirc_case_report.rep&userid=hotline/hotline@desgnr9i&server=report9i&destype=localfile&desformat=pdf -- will get the Save dialog
    And that's what I 've been getting my project during the testing of the 9iDS suites.
    Good luck.

  • DESTYPE=LOCALFILE

    Im trying to get my reports to output to a file on the clients PC in an Excel format.
    So far Ive managed to get an Excel file to save on to my Server but my clients dont find this acceptable.
    I read in the documentation that I can use the destype=localfile but whenever I use this it prompts me for the location to save rw60cgi.
    Has anyone managed to save report output locally ?

    This is what I have in my cgicmd.dat file:
    report=c:\report.rdf userid=usern/pass@dbase server=servername destype=file desname="C:\filename.csv" pagestream=yes desformat=DELIMITED DELIMITER=, cpref=%1
    The output is an Excel file, comma delimited but it is always saved to the server machines hard drive and not the local machine.
    My clients need it to be saved locally and not to the reports server machines hd. What am I missing ?

  • Report painter performance problem...

    I have a client which runs a report group consists of 14 reports... When we  run this program... It takes about 20 minutes to get results... I was assigned to optimize this report...
    This is what I've done so far
    (this is a SAP generated program)...
    1. I've checked the tables that the program are using... (a customized table with more than 20,000 entries and many others)
    2. I've created secondary indexes  to the main customized table with (20,000) entries - It improves the performance a bit(results about 18 minutes)...
    3. I divided the report group by 4... 3 reports each report group... It greatly improves the performance... (but this is not what the client wants)...
    4. I've read an article about report group performance that it is a bug. 
    (sap support recognized the fact that we are dealing with a bug in the sap standard functionality)

    Report painter/Writer always creates a prerformance issue.i never preffred them since i have a option with Zreport
    now you can do only one thing put more checks on selection-screen for filtering the data.i think thats the only way.

  • Report query parsing problem

    I didn't find any report of this problem...
    Using APEX 3.0.1.00.07, I have a report of type "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)" with the "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)" radio button selected.
    When the region source contains the string "ORDER BY" in any form that I've tried (even in a comment), attempting to save the region fails with "Your query can't include an "ORDER BY" clause when having column heading sorting enabled."
    I do indeed have column sorting enabled on certain columns, but I don't see how that is relevant under these circumstances since the query produced at runtime does not have an ORDER BY clause.
    Am I overlooking something or is this a parsing problem?
    Rodney

    Rodney,
    It's just checking for order by being included in your query, and if so and you have column heading sorting enabled, it's raising this error because you can't have both (even if it's commented out).

  • How do I report a security problem to Firefox?

    Here's the problem: <br />
    Wednesday morning my Mac at home got infected by malware which I believe is usually called the "Google redirect virus". My Mac at home has been upgraded to OSX 10.6.7 and I believe I was using Firefox 3.6.13 (it automatically upgraded tonight). I haven't been able to find any useful information on line about this malware. <br />
    The behavior after infection was that every time I tried to use Google my request would get redirected. If I entered www.google.com in the address bar, the URL would get changed to www.google.com/FuneralHomes/<something> and the browser would try to go there and a "Under Construction" error message or a no-such-page message would be returned. This started happening after I did a Google search and was checking various links in Firefox, but once it started in Firefox I got the same behavior in Safari even without using Safari to look at any links. And it continued to happen in Safari even after I did a "Reset Safari..." <br />
    When I got infected I was using a non-adminstrator account and I was not asked to download anything nor was I prompted for a password. <br />
    I searched on "Google redirect Mac virus" using my (so far) untouched work computer and found several suggestions but no solutions. Apparently this is a PC problem that's been around a few years, but there were some Mac reports from last year. So last night I checked the DNS addresses in my
    Network preferences, looked at /etc/hosts, and removed the only plug-in from the Library:Internet Plug-ins of the infected account, even though it was a Picasa plug-in that predated this infection. None of those seemed to be the problem. I also scanned my disk with an up-to-date "Norton AntiVirus" which
    I got from work some time ago, but it found no viruses. <br />
    What really puzzles me is that the problem gradually went away while I was checking it last night. At first, when I entered www.google.com the browser would still show the redirected address in the prompt that comes up and it had the Legacy.com logo on the left instead of the Google one but it would actually go to the Google website (unless I'm being spoofed). Then at a later attempt, only the wrong logo persisted. Then at an even later attempt the logo got fixed and everything looked fine and appeared to behave correctly. <br />
    Frankly, that's a little scary. It's as if a really smart trojan got
    installed and was covering its tracks while it set up a man-in-the-middle attack (please advise if I'm misusing the jargon). If I'm being too paranoid, great, but I'd still like to know how such behavior could be induced on my machine just by linking to a website. Can anyone help?
    ''moderator- fixed the leading space formatting errors in this posting''

    Thanks, the-edmeister, but the only relevant post I found was from GB Colburn on bleepingcomputer.com, wherein he reported a similar problem about a year ago. I've found a few similar threads in the last year or so (by searching "Google redirect mac virus" in Google) but they are all about the same: someone reports the problem, responders have various random suggestions, the problem seems to go away by itself (at least sometimes), and there's nothing conclusive either good or bad.
    Without myself being as knowledgeable as GB Colburn, it doesn't look to me like the problem is in the DNS system or the router. It acts more like some malware in the automatic completion in the address bar of the browser or maybe in the history system, but I can't figure out how an infection in one browser could affect another browser. And I *really* can't figure out how it could be self-healing.
    It's really frustrating that none of the major parties involved in this—Firefox, Google, Safari (Apple), Verizon (my internet provider)—even have a process for reporting a security issue. At least not one that I, an ordinary semi-naive user, can find.

  • SAP NetWeaver Portal Crystal Reports PDF Export Problem

    Hallo all,
    We are working with BO Edge XI 3.1 with integration on SAP Netweaver Portal. The problem is that integrated in SAP Portal CR reports cannot be exported to PDF or printed out.
    I am using an URL iview with the parameter sOutputFormat=P to run the report.
    When I want to print out the report I get the warning message from Internet Explorer "The download of files from this page is for security reasons blocked. Click here..." --> Download the file. By clicking on the u201CDownload this fileu201D the report starts to run again. PDF export doesnu2019t happen.
    Did somebody have the same problem?
    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hello Ingo,
    thanks a lot for Your help. I have already talked to my IT department and they are looking for the solution of this problem, too.
    Is there a documentation  about necessary settings in the browser to work with SAP NetWeaver Portal and Crystal reports?
    The problem is that on some clients the PDF export is working and on another clients not. The settings of IE seem to be equal.

  • Oracle Report Server wierd problem

    Hi All,
    I am facing very wierd problem with oracle report server.
    I am using Oracle Report Server 10g R1. The problem I am facing is as under:
    There is custom parameter form where user enters report filter criteria and press a button to create the report.
    The problem is that report is giving output some times and sometimes it gives no output at all. Both the times, the parameters passed by user are same. The report executions are done for both runs one after other. We have tried to look in report server trace file but could not find anything. When report server fails to give any data in the report, at the same time, we have tried to execute the report query on SQL prompt and it did return data.
    Can any one give any hint where the problem could be ?
    Thanks,
    Ramchandra Jetwani

    Hi,
    When i used to get only one page the options like facing, continuous facing are disabled. And displays only single page.
    These options are enabled only when there are multiple pages in pdf.
    One more thing i found that it happens when I first view the report as pdf it displays
    all the pages, then i change the display format to csv and again when i change
    the format to pdf the problem starts.
    And when I will restart the report server service, it works fine again until i wont view it in CSV format.

  • How to report Apple a problem in software by e-mail?

    How to report Apple a problem in software by e-mail?  For example I got a problem: new version of iTunes 11.1.1 is not running at all! (uninstalled old one first) When I try to launch itunes from my laptop desktop I get this box Win7 64. I don't want to open any system files, just wish that Apple will make a program which work. Apple please!
    "The file itunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes" and it not run at all!!

    Hi Nick.
    If you open a free Apple Developer account you can use the bug reporter tool. However if you want to file a bug report you need to tightly identify a reproducible fault, detail the conditions in which it arises and ideally supply any workaround you have discovered.
    In other circumstances iTunes Feedback is probably the appropriate channel. Common problems should gain attention.
    Apple don't provide free technical support for iTunes. The inital point of entry for online assistance is iTunes Support. If none of the online resources help then depending on the nature of the problem, or whether you qualify through a recent purchase, or you are prepared to pay, you may be able to make use of the Contact iTunes Support service. Failing that Apple Support Communities (here) is where users share solutions with each other.

    I. Brief summary on the architecture of Reports Server, CGI and Reports Servlet
    =================================================================================
    In order to understand the causes of the error "Unable to communicate with the
    Reports Server", let's first briefly review the Reports Runtime Engines, Reports
    Server, the Reports CGI, and Reports Servlet architecture.
    There are 4 important layers in Reports Server architecture which should be
    understood in order to clearly understand the error "Unable to communicate with
    the Reports Server" :
    1) The Runtime Engines : This is the main layer where the reports are actually
    executed. On unix systems there are "rwrun60" and on NT systems there are
    "rwrun60.exe" processes.
    2) The Reports Server : The Reports Server recieves the job request and queues
    it. When one of its runtime engines becomes available, it sends the
    command line to that runtime engine for execution. On Unix systems it is
    the "rwmts60" executable and on NT systems it is "rwmts60.exe".
    3) The Reports CGI : The Reports Web CGI passes the request to the Reports Server.
    The Reports CGI or Servlet converts the request to a command line that can be executed by the Reports Server and
    submits it to the specified Reports Server. On Unix platforms this executable
    is "rwcgi60" and on NTs it is "rwcgi60.exe.
    4) The Reports Servlet : Its functionality and function is just the same as "Reports CGI", but it is
    a program written in Java as difference to the CGI program (which is
    written in C programming language).
    The Reports Server may be running on the same server with the CGI program (or
    servlet) OR may reside totally on another machine which does not necessarily have
    the same Operating System. For instance CGI may reside in a Windows NT machine
    while the Reports server may reside on a Unix box, or any other combination with
    Unix-Linux-NT-2000, etc.
    The reports are called with a URL similar to below with the CGI :
    http://fully.qualified.server.name:PORT/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=<REPSERVER>&other_parameters=...........
    where fully.qualified.server.name is the name of the server where the Reports CGI
    reside, and <REPSERVER> is the name of the server.
    II. Sources of errors encountered when running a report with Reports Server
    ============================================================================
    The Reports Web CGI (or the Reports Servlet) makes a call to the Reports Server
    and asks it to place the output into some destination (defined by DESTYPE and
    DESNAME parameters), then gives back the necessary response to the calling
    program. For example if the DESTYPE is "cache", then the Reports server generates
    the report to a file in a temporary place and gives it back to CGI and the CGI gives
    it back to the calling program. Otherwise, if the DESTYPE is "file", the Reports Server
    generates the report output to the requested file and the CGI replies back the
    following message : "Report output was successfully written to requested
    destination.".
    If there is any error in this process, the related error message is returned. The
    possible sources of errors can be categorized as follows :
    1) The errors that are returned from Reports Server; like the Reports Server can
    not find the requested RDF file or the report may be run to file and the
    directory where the reports output is asked to be placed does not occur or
    similar errors. (Usually the REP-XXXX errors)
    2) Another possible cause of error is the errors returned by the RDBMS to the
    Reports Server, for example a table not found error or things like that. Of
    course from the CGI point of view these errors are again transmitted from the
    Reports Server but in fact the error originates from the RDBMS. (Usually the
    ORA-XXXX errors)
    3) Another possible cause of errors is the CGI itself, for example when the CGI
    executable can not connect to the requested Reports Server, then we get the
    famous "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server". In this document we will
    diagnose the common reasons of this last error.
    III. How the CGI (or the Reports Servlet) communicates with the Reports Server
    ===============================================================================
    Having said that "Oracle Reports Server CGI - Unable to communicate with the
    Reports Server." error is returned back from the CGI itself, let's discuss the
    issue of how the Reports CGI connect to the Reports Server. The name of the
    Reports Server given in the URL with "server=....." parameter is, in fact, just
    a special tnsnames alias, similar to aliases for database connect strings. As it is
    important for the CGI to resolve the alias, the CGI needs to know the HOST name (or the
    IP) of the machine where the Reports Server is running and the port on which the
    Reports Server is listening. So a typical Reports Server alias is defined as follows :
    REP60_<MACHINE>=(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = tcp)(HOST = <MACHINE>)(PORT = <PORT>))
    This is defined in tnsnames.ora file, and the sqlnet.ora file is also used in
    the name resolving operation.
    IV. Possible reasons which lead to "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server" error.
    ==========================================================================================
    The possible reasons for the "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server" error :
    1) Reports Server is up and running :
    Make sure that the Reports Server is really running on the specified server
    and listening on the specified port. For details have a look at above
    explanations for tnsnames alias of the reports server. And because of this the
    CGI could not establish a connection to the Reports Server.
    2) tnsnames.ora and sqlnet.ora problems :
    As described above, the CGI resolves the details for the reports server using
    the "tnsnames.ora" and "sqlnet.ora" files. There may be a problem with them,
    here are the possible configuration problems :
    a) There is no alias in the tnsnames.ora file for this Reports Server
    b) The CGI looks into the wrong directory for the "tnsnames.ora" and "sqlnet.ora"
    files. By default the CGI checks the $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin directory for
    these scripts, where the $ORACLE_HOME is the home of the Forms & Reports
    installation. Please note that in a typical 9iAS 1.0.X installation there
    are two ORACLE_HOME's, one is for the iAS and the other is for the tools,
    usually the home for the tools is a directory with name "806" on NT and
    "6iserver" on unix systems. By defining TNS_ADMIN in the environment, one
    can override the search path for these two files.
    The TNS_ADMIN variable can be defined in one of the following places :
    i) In the environment : On MS Windows platforms check the "Settings
    --> Control Panel --> System". On NTs check the environment TAB and in
    Win2K systems check the "Environment Variables" button on Advanced tab.
    ii) In "6iserver.conf" file. Details are as follows : The main configuration
    file for Apache server is "httpd.conf" file which resides in
    $IAS_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf directory. In this file there is a line to
    include "oracle_apache.conf" and in this "oracle_apache.conf" file
    there is a line to include "$ORACLE_HOME/conf/6iserver.conf" file. And
    in this file the TNS_ADMIN variable could be defined as follows :
    SetEnvIf Request_URI "rwcgi60" TNS_ADMIN=c:\orant\network\ADMIN
    Please note that by defining it this way, the TNS_ADMIN will only be defined
    for "rwcgi60" calls, so the other parts of the 9iAS will not be affected by
    this setting.
    c) In sqlnet.ora the "names.default_domain" is set but in tnsnames.ora the
    domain is not defined in the alias description. For example if the
    "names.default_domain=world" is present and active in "sqlnet.ora" file
    then in the "tnsnames.ora" the alias of the reports server should also have
    the ".world" extension appended at the end. And another cause is of course
    the vice versa for this. If there is no "names.default_domain" is defined
    in the "sqlnet.ora" then the alias in "tnsnames.ora" should not have the
    domain extension.
    Another important point that should be checked is, if TNS_ADMIN is defined
    as described above then the search path is as follows, first the directory
    defined by TNS_ADMIN is searched, if the "tnsnames.ora" file is not found in
    this directory then $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin is checked. (And on unix systems
    /var/opt/oracle is also checked). These directories are only checked if the file
    is not present, so if the "tnsnames.ora" file is present in TNS_ADMIN directory
    but the alias is not present, then the other directories are not checked at all.
    Let us assume that the tnsnames.ora file is present in the TNS_ADMIN directory but
    there is no "sqlnet.ora" files here, then the sqlnet.ora file is checked in
    $ORACLE_HOME/net80/admin directory, which could cause the same problem if the
    "names.default_domain" is defined in this file.
    All the above will result in, CGI to unable to resolve the alias in tnsnames.ora
    file so it will not be able to establish a connection to the Reports Server.
    3) Wrong "ORACLE_HOME" setting :
    Wrong ORACLE_HOME setting. This is usually the case for Reports Servlet,
    because the environment settings are defined in "jserv.properties" file for the
    servlets and the setting here will effect both the Reports Servlet and the
    setting for Oracle JSP and other servlets. So the other servlets or Oracle JSP
    may need to set ORACLE_HOME to home of HTTP server while the reports server needs
    it to be set to the TOOLS_HOME directory. In this case the best alternative is
    not to set ORACLE_HOME in this directory and leave it to registry or defined the
    ORACLE_HOME in "6iserver.conf" file just like the TNS_ADMIN defined above. For
    details please have a look at the following document :
    Note 179609.1 "Getting an error Unable to communicate with the Reports Server
    using RWSERVLET"
    4) Effect of parameter "maxconnect" :
    Another common case for this error is that the CGI request reaches the Reports Server but
    the Reports Server refuses connection. The main cause for this case is, that the Reports Server
    configuration parameter "maxconnect" is defined too low, there are long running reports on the
    server or the server is too busy at that time. Usually a second try some
    later time results in a successful connection. If this is the case, the end user
    may think that the problem is occasional. For details on this case please
    have a look at the following document :
    Note 125265.1 "Unable to communicate with the Reports Server"
    5) Passing very large parameters to reports server :
    Another known reason for this error is, if you are passing large parameters
    to the Reports Server which exceeds sqlnet transmission blocks then the request may
    end up with this error. To test it try with small parameter values. If you hit
    this case, the solution is to increase the SDU (Session data unit size) and the TDU
    (Transport unit data size) parameters in tnsnames.ora file, for details please
    have a look at the following document :
    Note 197358.1 "Passing large parameters to Reports show up a Reports Server
    error"
    6) A case specific to OAS 4.0.8.2 :
    If you are using OAS instead of iAS, and the error appeared after
    upgrading to 4.0.8.2 then this is caused because the 4.0.8.2 is using RSF
    (Required Support Files) version 8.1.6 and the Reports 6i is using 8.0.6 and the
    two could not reside in the same ORACLE_HOME directory. So the solution for this
    problem is to create a new batch file and use it from which the actual CGI
    executable is called. For details please see the following document :
    Note 116754.1 "After applying OAS 4.0.8.2 CGI and Cartridge cannot communicate
    to report server"
    7) A case specific to WEBDB version 2.1.0.9.3 :
    Another known case for this error is with WEBDB version 2.1.0.9.3 or less.
    If you are using these old versions of WEBDB as HTTP listener, please have a
    look at the following document :
    Note 95426.1 "URL Not Found When Calling Oracle Developer Report from WebDB Site"

    On Windows you can create a Report Services:
    rwserver -install server=repserverYou have to choose different names for all servers, like your collegue cannot create a server with the same name. You can start/stop this Report server in Services (control panel). Configuration files can be found under $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf

  • CALLING A REPORT FROM FORMS (PROBLEM)

    MY PROBLEM IS THE NEXT:
    I CREATED A MASTER-DETAIL REPORT CALLING 'ASUNTOS'WITH THE NEXT QUERY:
    SELECT ABOGADOS.APELLIDO_P,ABOGADOS.APELLIDO_M,ABOGADOS.NOMBRES,
    ASUNTOS.EXP_INT,ASUNTOS.MATERIA,ASUNTOS.GERENCIA,
    ASUNTOS.EMPRESA,ASUNTOS.RECLAMA,ASUNTOS.PESOS,
    ASUNTOS.DOLARES
    FROM ABOGADOS,ASUNTOS
    WHERE ABOGADOS.FICHA = ASUNTOS.F_ABOG
    AND ASUNTOS.F_ABOG = :ABOGADO ;
    -- ABOGADO = PARAMETER.
    THIS REPORT WORKS FINE THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I TRY CALL THIS REPORT FROM FORM I'VE USE A BUTTON(WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED) WITH THE NEXT CODE:
    DECLARE
    LISTA PARAMLIST := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('ABOG');
    BEGIN
    IF ID_NULL(LISTA) THEN
    LISTA := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('ABOG');
    ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'PRINTER');
    ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER,'LPT2');
    ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'ABOGADO',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR(:ASUNTOS.F_ABOG));
    -- ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'YES');
    END IF;
    RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,'ASUNTOS',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,LISTA,NULL);
    END;
    BUT THE REPORT NOTHING DISPLAY.
    THERE ARE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CODE IN THE BUTTON

    Roberto,
    Does your report work when it is not called from Forms?
    try the following:
    [TOOLS_HOME]\BIN\RWRUN60 module=ASUNTOS destype=screen userid=<username>/<password>@<tns> ABOGADO=<some_valid_code>
    where TOOLS_HOME is the directory where Reports is installed.
    I can see nothing wrong with your code.
    Maybe some error in the query?
    Also, I would check for the existence of multiple ASUNTOS report definitions. Maybe Forms is calling an older one.
    Hope this helps,
