Report giving Empty output

Hi Gurus,
In R12 I ran Oracle reports with the output type as PDF. The report completing normal but the output was not coming. Only empty page is coming up.
When i ran the main query in TOAD it giving output. In the report itself i have set the policy context values.
If no data available means atleast heading and other columns would be displaying right, in my case the output file is 1KB size and nothing there in it.
Could you please help me to resolve the issue.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Sathya

Hi Yuvraj,
The report was upgrading from 11i to R12. The same report was working fine in 11i.
In the report we have 2 date parameter as From_Date and To_Date.
In concurrent program definition the parameter was Date
In RDF the parameter was defined as String but in the query they used TO_DATE function to convert the string into Date.
Is there any other standard report errors?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

Remove Header when running report with ALV output

Hi,
We are running ITS Version 6200.1022.63326.3, Build 84960 connecting to R/3 Enterprise 4.7 on 6.40 Kernel Patch 196.
I have a situation where I run a report through ITS, starting with a selection screen, I can remove the header part of the ITS generated screen by commenting out:

in my template. This works great.
Now when I run the report and the output is given in the form of an ALV grid, there is no screen to manipulate as it uses the webgui generated html due to me having set parameter:
GENERATEDYNPRO = 1.
When I receive the report output, the SAP header with "Quit" and "Help" is back, due to it being driven by the standard webgui generated templates.
I have searched on SDN and found some guidelines but no answers are answered and then the thread goes dead so I just wanted to know if someone has ever successfully removed this header.
I have set noheaderokcode = 1 in the service file, in webgui.srvc as well as in global.srvc.
I have also started editing the templatelibrary files but to me it is not a very clean solution.
If someone out there has had this challenge and solved it, please advise.
Thank you very much and regards,
Ronald G. Meyer

Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
Does not seem like the Basis team will be patching the ITS landscape soon, so is there anyone who has more input on this?
I have found a programmatical example in this thread:
/thread/76409 [original link is broken]
But none of the examples work like I expect it to.
Just wanted to know if someone has implemented this successfully.

Moan about Reports ability to output to Excel

Hi there
This is more of a general moan on this topic, but am I the only person who thinks that Oracle Reports' ability to output to excel should be WAY better than it is at the moment?
I've just looked at the 9i demo, showing how to get report output into excel. It was horrific - grubbing round in raw html code and setting up an Excel template with dummy data doesn't make Reports the slick reporting tool that we'd all like.
Guys @ Oracle - have a look at Cognos Impromptu - I'm definitely no fan of Cognos, as I prefer to be able to define exactly what I want in SQL. However, one thing they have got right is the facility to save report output into formatted Excel - Oracle Reports should have this too!!
At the moment, if I'm asked to produce a report in Excel format, I have to either use PL/SQL to generate a CSV file with the results I want, or Oracle Reports to produce a similar CSV file. I then have to open the CSV file in Excel and format it, change column widths etc, so that it looks presentable. If it's a regular-running report, I have to manually intervene every time the report is produced. Producing a similar report in Cognos (for all its faults) would require no manual intervention once it's set up, and the whole process can be controlled with macro language and the Cognos Scheduler.
So please, improve this feature of Reports!

Hello again
All I'd like to be able to do is to write an Oracle Report and have the figures from the report delivered in an Excel spreadsheet. (A number of report users here specify that they want their reports delivered in this way.)
Oracle Reports (I'm on version 6i) allows me to generate a .csv file which will open in Excel, but there's no formatting present. My point was simply that I have to manually intervene to produce a .xls which is formatted properly. In Cognos Impromptu, after the report has been run, you just select SaveAs->(input filename) and select 'Excel with Format' for SaveAs Type. The output is a pretty good approximation of how the output appears on the screen. You can run reports automatically using a scheduler, and with macro language, you can deliver the report in this format with no further intervention needed. If Cognos can do this, then so can Oracle!!
Incidentally, I've noticed that every post on this forum which mentions Excel receives a plug from Lion Van for his RepExcel product. I had a look at his website and it looks pretty good - perhaps Oracle should approach him with a generous offer?! I'm not sure however that these forums should be used for advertising in this way.

Oracle Reports in PDF output

Hi everyone ,
We are using Oracle 11g.
I have a custom Oracle report in PDF output. In some cases the value is changed. For example, when i run a query in toad i get a value 0.13, then I run my report, check the XML output - the value is still 0.13....but when I check the report output that is in the PDF format, the value is changed to 0.14. Do you have any ideas why it happens? Do I need a special coad in the rtf tag?
Thank you

What command did you type in to run your report in Unix? Did you give the full path of your rdf file. I guess that the system may not be find your rdf file correctly.

My reports are created in PC with RDF format. When run in unix, can the RDF still be used or it has been to recompile? If recompile, how is this done?

Oracle Reports with XML output showing data as asterik character

Hello,
I'm trying to create an Oracle report with xml output. Here is the issue I'm having some of the columns in my report are of datatype number. When I run the report and generate xml file the values for those columns(datatype number) are showing as (*) character, other columns are showing fine. But when I run the report as text output then data is fine. I don't understand why this is happening.
The property of column is Column Type - Database Scalar, Datatype - Number , width 0,-127.
Does the width has to do anything with this?

If the links in your example report1 and report2
follow my format stated earlier
http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet/report=reportnam
e.rdf&destype=cache& paramform=htmlcss&server=<YourReportSe
rverName>&userid=scott/tiger@hrdb&desformat=pdf
This is what I believe
>
so http://machine:port/ is the port where
JBoss is running and
This should be the port that the report server is listening on
>
server=<YourReportServerName> is the name of
my oracle report server
so I call the above link in my current application
and the report would show up
Yes
>
that means (correct me if I am wrong) that my reports
would have to be deployed in OracleAS
Yes
>
I have to try all this yet as till this point I was
trying to run Oracle reports deployed in JBoss...
This may be possible, I am not sure.

I generate file (PDF, HTML, etc) the report is empty but I run in paper

Hi
I use oracle Report10g
When I generate file (PDF, HTML, etc) the report is empty but I run in paper design show data, the report in the paper design show many pages, when generate file show only the information of the margin in the main seccion and the body is empty,
Thanks

Thanks Daniel for pointing that out. Though you answer is helpful but I am not sure if that is what I would want to do.
The link you provide for csv says "For each report there's an _report.xdo file that contains the XML structure of the report... " It suggests I modify the .xdo file for each report. I currently have 16 reports.
Does it mean I modify the .xdo file for all 16 and what happens if someone creates a 17th report ?
Also, what if I run the same report using different input parameters will that change the xml structure for the report and therefore will need me to modify the .xdo again ? (I think it should not change the xml structure so the answer should be "NO" to that, unless I change the structure of the report).
Finally, the link you provide says after doing what it suggest "Now log back into BI publisher and select the report. You should now be able to see that CSV is now an option."
CSV should be an option where ? on what screen/page ? Maybe PDF is already an option for me that I cant see because I do not know where that option is.
I was hoping there would be something I could do on the xdo_metadata sheet (in the data constraints section or elsewhere) OR in BI Publisher itself as some property of the report.
I will try out what you suggest any ways.

Export Reports 3.0 output to excel?

Any one please... is it possible to export reports 3.0 output to excel?
I dont want to upgrade to 10g or 11i now as my current version(forms 5.0 and reports3.0) is running smooth even on windows 7.

I think that even Reports 3.0 has an option desformat=delimited (which is the "excel" format).

When a report is Empty?


Hello,
I would like to know, haw can I detect that a report is empty!
With a report without subreports was OK, I took the "report.Rows.Count > 0", but if the ReportDocument is a Subreport, This property whrows me a NotSupported exception.


Please help, I have a peace of code, but i have no idea how to make this recursive function work:




 private static bool IsEmptyReport(ReportDocument report) 
 { 
 if (!report.IsSubreport) 
 { 
 foreach (ReportDocument subreport in report.Subreports) 
 { 
 if (!IsEmptyReport(subreport)) 
 { 
 return false; 
 } 
 } 
 } 
 
 if (report.Rows.Count == 0) // NotSupported Exception for a SUBreport 
 { 
 return true; 
 } 
 else 
 { 
 return false; 
 } 




thanks!


The CrystalReportDataView object instance being returned from a subreport.Rows do not support the Count property for subreports.
On my Crystal Reports 2008 SP0, the NotSupportedException comes with the message "Not supported within subreports."
So this method wouldn't get you what you want. I'm not aware of alternative methods.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda
