Report Logo - Displays on HTML, not on PDF report (Apex report_)

Hi Gurus.
I thought I'd report this here, as we are having a BI Publisher error, and I'm not getting any help on the Apex subforum.
+We have a system environment setup where we have BI Publisher Enterprise and Apex 3.1.2 talking together to create PDF reports on a Oracle 10g database (R2 I think, I'm uncertain). As part of a business requirement, depending on what project you are looking at within our apex application, when printing a report you see a logo specific to the project. We have already developed this using a RTF template with a dummy image embedded, and url:{concat(.//URL,.//PROJECT_ID)} in the Alternative Text field of the Web tab of the Format Picture dialogue.+
This worked fine when using the RTF templates as Report Layouts within Apex and as templates within a BI Publisher report.
However, now logos aren't appearing.
We are on BIP 10.1.3.2 according to the Help File, and we are running Apex 3.1.2.00.02 on Dev and Apex 3.1.1.00.09 on test and prod, however none of these environments are outputting logos in the PDF reports.
Curiously, if I go into the BI Publisher interface and ask for the report to be outputted as HTML, the image shows. Running the HTML version of the report from Apex also shows the logo -- but the logo isn't showing in the PDF reports.
As I continue trouble shooting, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If anyone could give us any insight on this, it would be appriciated.
I'm unsure if its a permissions problem with the PDF seeing the image, or something related to server setup. We currently have a redirect in place to production that doesn't include the :7777 in the URL, and for some reason, if the G_URL for the image is changed to this portless URL, the image is embedded. However, this redirect was in place for another application, and will soon be locked down, so is not available for a long term solution to this problem

Thanks Sven.
The query works but the other way. The output is for all the targets, not for the respective target which we select from :p1_target.
select target_name,target_type, column_label,
warning_threshold,critical_threshold,occurrence_count
from sysman.MGMT$TARGET_METRIC_SETTINGS@crmodem
where target_name in (select MEMBER_TARGET_NAME from MGMT$TARGET_FLAT_MEMBERS@crmodem
where upper(AGGREGATE_TARGET_NAME) like '%X' || :P1_TARGET || '%')
Thanks again.

JasperReportIntegration tool - Report coming back as HTML instead of PDF

Using:
* Apex 4.1.1 (using EPG)
* 11G SE
* Apache FOP as print Server
* Dietmar Aust's free tool on integrating JasperReports
I've recently created a second APEX instance locally (from externally hosted instance) and copied the application (via application export) and parsing schema (using exp/imp). Everything works fine except when I try to print reports (for JasperReports) it comes up as garbled HTML instead of PDF.
In my hosted instance it all works fine.
Since the necessary packages to integrate with Jasper reports goes into the parsing schema for application, all necessary objects are imported as well during the exp/imp.
The only thing different about the hosted and my local instance is that the hosted one is XE where as my local one is SE but I don't think this is a factor at all.
The other difference is the hosted instance uses Apex Listener while mine doesn't. Again don't think this a factor as well.
My print server is enabled and working and I can print tables as PDF reports.
I am not sure if I need to enable something or missed a step needed so the reports come up as expected as is the case in hosted instance. Any hints or suggestions welcome.
Cheers.

Hi Dietmar, I couldn't do it as I couldn't find that line I needed to modify. The XLIB_HTTP package goes upto line 45 and those lines referred in that post goes upto 89,90.
But then I was due to change from EPG to Web Server + Apex Listener (for other reasons) which in turn solved my issue anyway.
create or replace PACKAGE "XLIB_HTTP"

Actual Text is displayed instead of Barcode in PDF report

Hi All,
I have used the Java class "oracle.apps.xdo.batch.DocumentProcessor" to create a PDF report. The "rtf" template contains barcode , When generating the report from standalone the PDF file contains the actual value instead of the Barcode.
I have used the font "3OF9.TTF"
Please update if anyone know the solution.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you click the item in Managed Navaigtion to a Page, the Page title space displays as the "%2520".
The issue is related to the html element is being double encorded, here is a similiar thread for your reference:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16084935/a-html-space-is-showing-as-2520-instead-of-20
In my environment, I create the managed navigtion with the settings like below without problem, I suggest you can try to follow to test if it works:
Thanks

Issue in MS Word report but not in PDF report

Gurus -
I am developing a BI Pub report and the results can be in PDF or Word, the users decide. For one field, NOTES, if there is no data, I don't want a blank space. I have an IF before my NOTES field, <?if:not(NOTES)?>, and it works fine when I'm displaying the results as a PDF. But when I display the results in Word, I see an blank line.
Any thoughts??
Thanks!!

BO Opendocument Url not giving pdf report when invoked through Java.

Hi All,
I'm trying to get pdf report by invoking the BO XI R3 server using the below url.
 
 
 
http://corpbo101d:41040/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=rpt&sDocName=BankAsAgentNA_1_au&sOutputFormat=P&lsS@model_code=BANKAGENT&lsS@user_id=sv66397&lsS@gen_no=1
 
 
This url gives the pdf report as expected when accessed through the browser.
 
 
But when accessing through Java it is not giving the pdf but its giving the content of the opendocument.jsp instead.
 
Please let me what am I doing wrong.
 
 
Thanks in advance.
Your code was breaking the forum thread so I removed it.
Edited by: Jason Everly on Apr 19, 2010 10:17 AM

Thanks for the response Jason, 
 
The java script were part of the output that I got when I invoked the url through Java. That is not the code that I'm using but the response which I'm getting after invoking the url. 
 
The url that I used is the one that I already pasted in the start of the thread. 
 
http://<server>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sType=rpt&sDocName=BankAsAgentNA_1_au&sOutputFormat=P&lsS@model_code=BANKAGENT&lsS@user_id=sv66397&lsS@gen_no=1 
 
And yes I'm passing parameters along the url. But it is with opendocument only and not viewrpt.* 
 
And this is already working through browser. 
 
But the problem occurs only during invocation through java, where I'm expecting a pdf byte stream. 
 
Instead i'm getting only html content. Which when I read through it, is nothing but the opendocument.jsp's source code. 
 
Please find the java source code below. 
 
 void readContent(String url) throws Exception, Exception{ 
 StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(url);
 sb.append("&SM_USER=").append("USERID"); 
 sb.append("&SM_SESSION=").append("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");

Html tetxt in Pdf report.

I integrated an HTML editor in my form application in order to store text formatted.
Now I need to print such formatted text in my pdf report.
Is it possible ?
How?
Tks
Tullio

If you have a item in the layout with a source where the datasource is character, there is a property "Contains HTML Tags". If you set this to "Yes", the content is parsed for HTML-Tags and should be formatted properly. But i don't know if this also works with pdf-output. You may have to give it a try.

Reports Sugestion - Data Template Support for Downloadable PDF Reports.

This is something that I miss in APEX reports that I would like to see. Right now I have BI Publisher tied to my APEX install but there are reports I would like to move over but I hate the fact that APEX does not have the ability to use BI Publisher XML Data Templates! It seems like if you have the integration this would be a natural thing to have so you could use complex report and APEX security (as I found a few issues in BI Publisher that are deal killers for running a few of my newer reports directly on BIP). Most of my reports are too complex and would require extensive XPath coding to setup using RTF templates. This just seems like something that would be very useful in APEX.

David:
I should have a whitepaper on this subject by the end of the month.
http://jastraub.blogspot.com/2008/12/more-changes-to-flexwsapi.html
I know this doesn't help you right now so I will describe how it works. Create a Manual Web reference as described on Tyler's blog, except for the SOAP Envelope, using something like:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:pub="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/service/PublicReportService" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<pub:runReport soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<reportRequest xsi:type="pub:ReportRequest">
<attributeFormat xsi:type="xsd:string">#P2_FORMAT#</attributeFormat>
<parameterNameValues xsi:type="pub:ArrayOfParamNameValue" soapenc:arrayType="pub:ParamNameValue[]"/>
<reportAbsolutePath xsi:type="xsd:string">#P2_ABS_PATH#</reportAbsolutePath>
</reportRequest>
<userID xsi:type="xsd:string">#APP_USER#</userID>
<password xsi:type="xsd:string">#P101_PASSWORD#</password>
</pub:runReport>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
You can hardcode format to pdf if that is all you wish to download. You can also hardcode the userID parameter, reportAbsolutePath, and the password parameter if you wish. Use something like DOWNLOAD_DOCUMENT as the collection name.
Now create a page and create a before header process of type Web service that invokes this reference. The document's binary data will be stored in a node of an XML document in the collection encoded in base64 format. You will need another process that converts that to a BLOB and then presents a dialog to the browser to save the document. You can accomplish with a process like the following, after the call to the Web service:
declare
l_mime varchar2(48);
l_name varchar2(4000);
l_base64 clob;
l_blob blob;
l_size number;
l_xml xmltype;
l_ns varchar2(4000) default null;
l_path varchar(255) default '//multiRef';
begin
l_mime := flex_ws_api.parse_response('DOWNLOAD_DOCUMENT',l_path||'/reportContentType/text()',l_ns);
l_name := 'test.pdf';
l_base64 := flex_ws_api.parse_response_clob('DOWNLOAD_DOCUMENT',l_path||'/reportBytes/text()',l_ns);
l_blob := flex_ws_api.clobbase642blob(l_base64);
l_size := dbms_lob.getlength(l_blob);
htp.init;
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(l_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
htp.p('Content-length: '||l_size);
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(l_name,chr(10),null),chr(13),null)||'"');
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file( l_blob );
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
end;
I hope that helps. Stay tuned for the white paper and sample application.
Regards,
Jason

OpsMgr 2012 R2 environment, reports in newly imported MPs not deploying to reporting services

We have an OpsMgr 2012 R2 environment that has been up and running for several months now. Recently we attempted to import a new MP with reports (the Veeam Report Library) - the import was successful, but the Veeam folder and reports never appear in the
OpsMgr reporting console or in the report server web page, even after waiting several hours and even overnight.
We have deleted and reimported the MP with no luck. We have restarted the SRS server with no luck. We have scoured the logs of the servers and found no events that appear to be related, and there are no health states or alerts in OpsMgr indicating any issues.
We also tried importing a new, different management pack with reports (Windows Logical Disk extension pack) and those reports also have not shown up.
Note that for both MPs the associated rules/monitors show up as expected, it is only the reports that are an issue. Also, all the previously imported reports are still available and functioning normally, it's only newly-imported reports that are failing
to show up.
We previously imported dozens of MPs with no issues and there have been no configuration changes to the environment. With no OpsMgr alerts or health issues, and no seemingly related event log entries we're not sure where to check next to see the progress,
status, and issues with report deployment, any help in pointing us in the right direction is appreciated.

Hi,
Would you please restart data access service and system center management configuration service to check the result?
In addition, have you checked the operation manager event logs with event viewer, we may find helpful information there to troubleshoot this issue.
Regards,
Yan Li

Adobe acrobat could not open 'FILENAME.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. ...
Please help me !?
Thanks.
Benyamin.

That error is the default error you run into when something is wrong with your print server configuration. Please make sure you followed all the instructions outlined here:

Hi Satya,
Still I am getting the same error. I am using IE 7.0 browser. In my service I have the following parameters in SE80 as well as in the SAP GUI Config in SICF.
~ITSMOBILE 1
~THEME 99
~TRANSACTION LM00
I have published the complete service and it published successfully to INTERNAL site.
My custom service is active in SICF.
When I test the service, IE can not display the page.
Do we need to activate any other standard service?
Or Do we need to set some additional parameters to the service?
Do I need to make any special settings in the IE 7.0?
Your input will be highly appreciated.
