Report generation with XML

We already generate reports without OracleReporter. We build a xml file and based on this file we generate reports with the report-server. But these are very easy tabular reports.
Now we want to generate more complex reports (eg. matrix reports).
Is anybody out there who already made this by generating xml files? Maybe there is some ready to use code for solving our problem.

Hello,
Report is defined through a XML file. The format of XML definition follows : Reports.dtd in ORACLE_HOME/reports/dtd/
That means the data comes out of a XML file :XML Data can be treated as data source(reading data from xml file) is possiable through
Oracle Reports 9i feature XML Query. if you do not want to use ReportBuilder, You have to manually
write the XMLPDS portion in XML Report. Please make some XML Query report from Builder and try to
follow the same format while you write your XML Definition.

XML report generation with Stylesheet

Hi all,
I am creating a LabVIEW code which would be generating a XML report. Is there any way we can import this report into a xml stylesheet programatically using LabVIEW and open the report automatically after the code has been generated?

Hi Mike,
Here are stylesheets taken from teststand. I tried using one of them by a simple VI having some String controls like Name, Age, Address etc. and logging it to an xml file using this stylesheet. Is there any format or something I am missing?
If you have any sample VI for me, it would be of great help if you attach it.
I am using LV 8.2

-1073741819 code using Report Generation with LV 6.1

I'm studing about the Report Generation Functions with LV 6.1, and I'm trying to run some example about it, but the programs sends the next error: "Error -1073741819 ocurred at unknown System error in Font Style.vi> Set report font.vi>Easy text report.vi
>. I'm using Windows XP plataform.
someone knows what can I do?
Thanks for your help

Maybe you already know this but the font settings is a cluster of 4 elements: 2 integers and 2 strings. The 2 integers are character set and weight. They default to -1. The two strings are font name and font size. The default to blank strings. Are you wiring this cluster into your font settings terminal? Do you have -1, -1, Arial, and a number for font size inside the cluster (I use 4 for HTML reports)?

10g Reports issue with XML Data Source

Hi,
Has anybody ever encountered an issue with Oracle 10g report using an XML as the data source? What happens is, some of the values in the XML are printed to the wrong column.
One of the elements in our XML file is a complex type with 10 elements under it. The first 5 are picked up properly, but the last 6 are not. Elements #6 to #9 has a minimum occurence of 0. What happens is when element #6 is present, but #7 is, the value for element #7 is passed on to element #6.
The XSD and XSL files are both valid since the reports were working when we were still using 9i. There is no hidden logic in the report which might cause this issue to come up, i.e., the report just picks up the values from the XML and prints it to the appropriate columns.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I can see from your code that you are a beginner. Your coding style is very Labview no-no. But well every Labview pro have some time been a beginner I have some problems understanding or grasp the essence of your problem. Can you post your failed attempt to use rapport generation. It would help in the understanding of your problem.
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

Report Generation with Endeca

Hi ,
We are trying to implement the Endeca Logging and Report Generation in our application. I have followed LogServerReportGen.pdf provided by Endeca.
1. We implemented logging API calls in our code.
2. Created a logserver component in Workbench and specified all the neccessary details
3. Created a report generation componentin Workbech
When i am trying to start the Report Generation component its failing, i am not able to figure out what is the problem here.
Aslo do we need to develop and new script and provision it in workbech for Generating report ? How this report generation works.
Can some one list out what i am missing ?
Thanks
DEV

Hi Praving,
I tried to run it from scripts tab in Workbench admin console. It ran fine without any failures
What i am seeing in the view reports tab is empty all 0 values.... but we could see lot of our call recorded in Logserver output files... somewhere the connection between them is missing. I just used the existing logserver and report generation scripts provided OOB from Endeca.
I havenet logged the key SESSION_ID in loggin calls, will it matter, do you see this as the reasong.
The below is the logserver output I could see

Crystal Report generation using XML

I have some reports that were created using XML and as I recall when I created them using CR v. 9 I used a connections called ADO (Xml) or something like that. On one of my machines I have CR XI and the only option available is XML and when I add a field from this connection it inserts: "{NewDataSet\TableName.FieldName}" however, previously when I used the ADO XML connections it only inserted {TableName.FieldName}. In the version 9 CR i was using the professsional version and in the version 11 CR it is still the professional version but I can't seem to create an XML connector that doesn't prefix the table/field with "NewDataSet". My request is two fold, first, can you please direct me to some articles that I can read to better understand how to generate CR from XML? My project is to generate the XML and then set the xml during runtime into the report using SetDataSource and then display the report using the CR viewing that I package and redist with my app. Secondly, why does the ADO XML connector not available in CR XI professional version and is there any way to get the CR v. 9 behaviour back?
Thanks,
Marcus

Hi, Markus
If you are planning to run reports from a .NET application, you need to have the Developer edition, not the professional.
The ADO.NET Driver is not installed by default. Go into Control Panel - Add / Remove programs, and chose Crystal Reports, and change. You can expand the Database drivers, and you should see the ADO.NET driver there. Note: you need to have the .NET framework installed for this to work.

How to see Greek characters inside a PDF report (made with XML Publisher)

Hi,
I just patched my e Business Suite (ver. 11.5.9) in order to use XML Publisher 5.6.3.
It works fine, but I have a big problem when I want to see Greek characters inside my report; instead to see the Greek characters I see only '?????'
I tried to add some font under the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility following the Doc ID: 373377.1 "How To Install a Font Using XML Publisher Administrator", but my problem remains: I don't see my Greek characters
Do I need to add any other fonts on the file system ? and where ? (under which path), or I set something at the XML Publisher Administrator responsibility level (under the Administration link) ?
Any help will be appreciated, because it's very urgent to know how to fix this problem.
Thanks in advance

Report-generation with Excel97 (german-version)

When I send values to excel97 (german) using "excel easy table.vi" (numeric or string format) or "Append Numeric Table to Report.vi" the values are not represented as numbers but as text. Only after double-click on the cell (same as additional enter) excel automatically takes it as a number. (Not possible/stupid with large number of values.)
How can I make excel dirctly accept my values?

Sorry, been on Holiday...
The number is aligned left in the excel cell and ignored in further calculations. (See the attached example).
Meanwhile I found some "trick": I run an excel-macro to reformat all cells (should be included in the example-file).
But is this the right way (takes time), or is it possible to make excel directly accept the values?
Thanks for your interest,
Till
