Report generated from Report Server to Web Brower can't print

We are doing a web-based project using Form & Report 6i.
Reports are called from forms with a parameter PAGESTREAM = YES
It works and reports in web brower(IE 5.5 SP2) are with two frames, with bottom the default Oracle Page Navigation Menu, and top the corresponding page.
However, when we try to print the page out, error occurs...
An error dialog box shown:
A Runtime Error has occurred.
Do you wish to debug?
Line : 1188
Error : Invalid procedure call or argument.
We can't print even one page....
Please, anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?
Thank you in advance.

this sounds like a bug. please contact oracle support services and open an iTAR with them

Generate Reports Automatically From Report Server

Hi all,
Can anyone please give me some clues on how to generate reports automatically from report server? e.g. generate daily sales reports on everyday 11:00pm.
Thank you.

You can use scheduling feature of reports.
You need to give in cmd line
schedule=schedule_param
Refer in [     Publishing reports to web - 10G ] (see link below)
the command line param - "schedule"

Web printing from a report generated from a bookmark

Hi,
I implemented the How to web printing last year. Eveything worked fine until someone tried to print a report generated from a bookmark. It opens the window where it shows the formatted report to be printed, but does not do anything else. The window remains blank. Anybody having an idea? I am sure it is related with the bookmark stuff, but can not get the finger on it.
Tks a lot,
Guylaine

Has the template that the bookmark is off of been changed? That might be causing the problem.
Thanks,
Jeff

Subject in Email is always "Report sent from Report Builder"

We run Forms 6.08 in C/S - architecture.
Forms calls reports:
ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id, 'SUBJECT',TEXT_PARAMETER, 'Please read appending pdf' );
add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER, 'Mail');
Run_Product(reports, 'MY_Report', SYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, Filesystem, pl_id);
This works: Lotus pops up and a Email is initialized with a pdf appended.
But the subject isn't filled in properly. There is always a constant text: "Report sent from Report Builder"
How can I control the subject?
Is it possible to fill in some text into the Email-body?
Wolfram

Hi,
Please find my comments below :
1. Subject is coming properly in EN but for DE taking the subject from standard task , BASIC DATA tab, Abbrevatio or Name ...
which i am not able to rectify. i am not required to translate in DE , have to send email as it is in EN. but subject is only missing
and everything is working fine. Can you please suggest me here ?
Ans. Your problem here is not clear...Is this a Work Item or mail ?.. Is your subject missing with Work Item in DE ?...
2. For the (sent) From email address instead of email something like WF_USER , i have to display like below :
densapwfadmin
Ans. Are you using talking about Extended notification here?... or just about mail step in your workflow?...

Why is printing report different from report builder and app server

I created a report and when ran from report builder it looks fine.
And when i moved the report to server and ran the report in the browser using this url
http://192.1.1.8:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=esp/esp_dev1@wdev&report=FMMA_VOUCHER.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
and print it the report shrinks, the fonts become small and the margins change. I am having hard time how to figure out a way to correlate the formatting in the report builder and when i run on the server using pdf format.
Is there any way to set the server so that the pdf output matches with the report builder.
Thanks.
Sree

I assume you are doing a cross platform deployment

Copying report file from one server to another requires refresh database?

Hi,
I am using Crystal Reports 11 for development.
We have a number of crystal reports that are served on a web server running classic ASP that uses these reports with Embedded Crystal Server XI installed on the server.
When I am developing or modifying a .rpt file (report) I connect to a UAT/development database on a dedicated development server.
When I am happy with the report and testing is successful I copy and paste the report onto the production server, replacing the old report.
The problem is I don't have a user account and password on the production server. Our DBAs are the only one with passwords on the prod servers. If an application needs a password entered they come to my desk and enter it for me.
The problem is in order for the modified report to work on the production, I have to call up a DBA to "verify the database" for me by connecting to production server and entering username and password.
This is really annoying.
Why can't I just disconnect\log off server in crystal reports, then copy and paste the .rpt file to prod server and be done with it?
If I had dozens of reports to change, it seems very rigid that I have to ask a DBA to enter the user account and password used by the application to run the report.
Can someone please explain how to be able to copy and paste modified reports/ or new reports from one server to another without having this problem.
Thanks
Haggisns

Moving to the Legacy SDK forum.
Crystal can be magical sometimes but if you don't tell CR where the database is how is it to know you moved it?
As you have seen and for security reasons you can't simply "drop" a report on any server and expect it to just connect to a new DB server without being asked to enter in credentials or that you have changed the DB server to report off of.... If it's too much work for the DBA to set log on info then he should give you access to so can.
Thank you

Report generated through BIP Server not in sync with data updated in DB

Hi,
We have an issue where the BIP report show up the old value instead of the latest updated & commited value done from Application(ADF) on the same session or transaction.
Does BIP have any caching mechanism implemented internally for a user context?
Detailed Explanation :
After verifying several scenarios, following are the scenarios which reproduced the cache issue in our application:
Case -1:
1) Logged in as user "User1".
2) Navigated to page where we can update data and we have option to print/generate the report.
3) Now made some updates in the page and saved it.
4) Now generate the report, report is generated with the updated information.
5) Now close the report generated and update the page with some other modifications and save it.
6) Now generate the report, but the report doesn't have the updated info.
Case-2:
1) Logged in as user "User2".
2) Navigated to page where we can update data and we have option to print/generate the report.
3) Generate the print profile report, you see the changes made above with "User1" login.
4) Now close the report generated and update the page with some more modifications and save it.
5) Now generate the report, but the report doesn't have the updated info.
Seems like, the request sent to BIP server is being cached at BIP server with its response considering the key with following format:
<Login User-id> + <Request Parameters> .
We are thinking this way because, in both Case-1 and Case-2, if we are modifying the request parameters values (fields to be shown in the generated report) uniquely for each new request,
then we are seeing the changes updated in DB are present in the report generated.
Can someone give inputs, how to overcome this issue?
Thanks,
Kiran Kumar

if you are using the cold backup to create the standby database, Check that have you followed the following steps or not.
1. remove
all the datafiles and controlfiles from the standby database.
2. Create a new standby controlfile of the production for standby using the following cmd
'alter database create standby controlfile as 'Location';'
3. move the new controlfile to standby database server location as specified in initialization parameter file.
4. Restore all the datafiles to its appropriate loaction which was taken through cold backup.
5. startup nomount
6. alter database mount standby database;
7. recover standby database.
scp the archive log sequence that is asked by the database, from production.
You can try this steps.

ProjectUID selected from the reporting database from Project Server OnPublished event is taking some delay

Hi all,
I'm invoking a stored procedure from the reporting database from the project server onPublished event. I'm having some issues in getting the details of that particular project from the published event handler. This i noticed that there is some
delay is taking place in moving the data(project uid ) from the published to the reporting database .
My stored procedure select statement is as follows:
SELECT ProjectUID, ProjectName FROM MSP_EpmProject_UserView
　WHERE ProjectUID=value
This stored procedure is invoked from the onPublished event of the project server event handler where that particular projectuid is passed in that stored procedure.I have noticed that some delay is taking palce to move the data into the reporting database.
My stored procedure got invoked from the onPublished event of the project server event handler before the delay is complete. So the row selected from the stored procedure is alwys zero (0). Is there any other method to wait for repoting database
to get refreshed. Please help me .

Hi sabithad,
The issue you are facing is because of the conflict of permissions, event handlers always works through administrative user credentials whereas the project is open in edit mode by the logged-in user. And you are tyring to update custom field at the back
end with Administrative credentials, while project queue is in process by logged-in users credentials. Its not gonna work this way :)
The best option is to use Javascript on your PDP using CEWP, you can either build your complete logic in JavaScript and place that code on your PDP. OR you can use the combination of JavaScript and PSI and create a webpart to be placed on PDP.
below blog link willgive you directions to go ahead with, but for sure the solution to your query is
JavaScript :)

Gif images in pdf file generated from Reports 6i

Hello,
When I generate pdf file from Reports Builder 6i and open this file with Acrobat Reader 5.0 I get that some of my gifs are black or other color.

How to discard skipped test results in XML report generated from TestStand

Hello,
I'm generating XML report from TestStand. I have more than 100 test cases & user has the flexibility to select the test cases to execute or to skip.
Problem statement:
1. In Configure\report options there is filter expression to filter test results to be logged. However, this filter is disabled for XML report.
2. Is there a way to compress XML file using either encryption or any other methods?
I understand that there would be two methods ideally for my problem statement #1 above:
A. To have a workaround in reportgen_xml.seq to pragmatically log only executed test cases and discard skipped test results.
B. Modify stylesheet supplied by NI to discard skipped test results.
For problem statement #2 above:
I am able to encrypt the data before logging it to XML. But I don't know how to modify the stylesheet to decrypt the same using either public/ private encryption keys. Can anyone bring in more ideas here !!!
My preference would be to implement using #A above to reduce the XML file size which is ~4 MB will all test results (skipped + executed). If this is not possible my last option would be to implement using #B above
I would appreciate if someone can help me for my problem statement? I'm using TestStand 2010
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have another solution and that is to actual discard the result before you get to the report stage.
You can do this by use of the Override Callback SequenceFilePostResultList and if Skipped then discard the result from ResultList.

Reports Generated From The Invoice Number

Hello All,
Firstly, thank you for this website, and also those who make contributions by asking questions and also answering.
So my question is, can SAP be generate a report from an invoice number which will then show which voucher for reimbursement includes that invoice number? And if so, how?
At this moment, the only way I can know this happens is by running a report for the specific reimbursement voucher which in turn will show me the invoices that is being paid for. However, I would like to input the invoice number which will show me which voucher the bill was paid for and which check number paid it.
I look forward to your replies, and thank you.

I should add, I do not mean a journal voucher, I'm talking about a public voucher for reimbursement from the government.
Thank you.

Custom SSRS report dev from Lync Server 2013

Trying to replicate canned Lync 2013 User Activity Report, but with more filtering capability, using SSRS. Necessary to do this way because we're adding details like user name, department and location from our Active Directory.
Have been unable to ever find support on WHAT the query or stored proc IS behind the UA report. If I have that code I can incorporate that with our data.
Any help appreciated!
James Nelson

Hi,
Check whether the SBC support REFFER if not disable REFFER from Lync Server Trunk configuration.

Storing oracle-reports generated pdf-report onto a blob

Hey ppl,
I have this requirement:
I basically generate a report from Jdev using a remote servlet call to oracle reports, which very neatly generates the pdf document for me and stores it locally. The problem is immediately storing this onto the DB as a blob once the report is generated. I know how to store the pdf as a blob onto the DB. I know how to make the call to oracle-reports and generate my pdf. What I don't know is to sequentially first generate the local pdf report and only once that has been generated proceed to store it onto my DB.
I want it to be done within the scope of a single request. As in, the entire process should be complete through one cycle. I don't want to keep a day end sort of procedure that inserts into the db at the end of the day.
As soon as the report has been requested by the user, I want the pdf file(which is generated by the reports) to also be stored onto the DB.
My problem (which i apologize has been repeated already 2wice above) is that I basically lose control once redirected through the servlet to the report call. There is no way i can instruct Jdev, from the reports side, that the pdf has been generated and now has to be stored onto the DB, as i have lost the session context by redirecting to a different servlet.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers
K

Hi,
its quite some time ago that I a looked Oracle Reports, however, I think that the event mechanism is quite complex to achieve
I want it to be done within the scope of a single request.
Which means that if Oracle Reports hangs, the user session follows.
As in, the entire process should be complete through one cycle.
Unfortunately you don't control how long reports run, which means that there is no sense in stopping the page lifecycle for this
I don't want to keep a day end sort of procedure that inserts into the db at the end of the day.
Fair enough, but as far as I remember there is an eventing in Reports that would allow you to have the Oracle Reports Server triggering the upload
So I think, the architecture I would go for is:
- user requests report
- report generates PDF output
- reports uploads to DB
- reports_processing table holds user ID and reports ID plus flag to update when report is done
- If using JSF, you could use af:poll to check frequently for the report to be finished.
This here may help: http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html
