Report output different in web mode

Hi all,
I've got a simple tabular report(Rows and columns without headers) which i deploy on the web and the report is displayed on a browser. The output i get from the browser is different from when i test and run it in report builder.
When i deploy the report and view it on the browser, the rows do not start from a new line and each record is joined. How do i specify a line feed to start each row.
For e.g, this is how it looks in report builder when i run it,
record1 xxx xxx xxx
record2 yyy yyy yyy
This is what i get in web mode,
record1 xxx xxx xxx record2 yyy yyy yyy
note : The report is a character mode report.

Hello,
Another simple solution when you have simple text to show in a web and keep the presentation is to use the <PRE> tag. (see http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/text.html#edef-PRE)
In you case
<pre>
record1 xxx xxx xxx
record2 yyy yyy yyy
</pre>

Report Output in a web browser. URGENT!!!

Email: [email protected]
I would appreciate if someone can solve my problem....
When I run a report from the report builder, the output is displayed in the web browser as when in live previwer, In view menu, web preview, Generate to Web browser in checked.
I want to have a shortcut to this report on my desktop. I want that whenever I click this short cut, my report should run in the default internet browser but it is not executing.
I have also tried to run this report by making a button in a Form and using run_product on the when-button-pressed trigger but this is also not working.
I want an output in the web browser 'cuz the output contain some hyperlinks pointing to some word documents saved as html.
Awaiting an urgent reply.....
HASAN.

Hello Hassan,
try it with an Batch File
c:\orant\bin\rwrun60.exe userid=scott/tiger@oracledb module=c:\test1.rep
before you compile the report to an rep-file you have to do some settings in the systemparameters "atributepallete" under your module.
1. set the parameter Desformat under value* on "htmlcss"
2. set the parameter Desname under value* on "c:\test1.html" or the "wwwroot" directory.
3. set the parameter Destype under value* on "file"
then compile the report to c:\test1.rep an test the batch file you've created.
much luck
Udo
* dont know the correct spelling in the englishversion of the RB6i, but its allways the 2. desc row in the atrribute pallet

Report output different when sent directly to printer

I have a report that if formated for 8.5 x 11 paper and has an address at the bottom of the page. When the report is generated as a pdf the address is in the corrent postion. When the report is sent directly to a printer from the report server the bottom 2 inches of the report are not printed. If i send the pdf version to the same printer it prints correctly.
Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your answer, Ramachandra!
However I need some more specific information to solve this.
Which printer layout settings are relevant for the handling of margins and duplex printing for Adobe Forms?
I have not set up the printer myself but when talking to the printer guy which settings should I recommend him to look at?
I can see in transaction SPAD that there are settings specific to SmartForms but there is nothing said about Adobe Forms. Is there some way to make Adobe Forms related setting appear in SPAD for a device type?
Maybe my problem is not related to the printer device settings but rather to the way the printer is being called. When printing duplex we will have to override the default settings of the printer anyway.
Function module FP_JOB_OPEN has a parameter structure of the type SFPOUTPUTPARAMS. Which fields in this parameter structure are to be manipulated to get duplex print and output fitted to page size?

Scheduled Reports Output Format

Dear All,
Does anyone know how I can schedule WEBI reports in the same formats as crystal reports? I currently use BOXI r3.
The current WEBI options are only:
Web Intelligence
Excel
Adobe Acrobat
Where the crystal options are:
MS Excel
MS Word
PDF
RTF
TXT
TTX
CSV
XML
I need to be able to schedule a series of WEBI reports in csv & txt formats to an FTP location.
Thanks in advance,
Stuart

I believe the only option for WEBI reports output formats are Web Intelligence, Microsoft Excel and Adobe Acrobat.
We have been having problems with scheduled reports output format in Excel. WEBI report's page layout is set to Legal and Landscape. But, MS Excel does not keep the same WEBI page layout margins for legal and landscape, and the report does not fit to page on Excel. WEBI formatting works best on Adobe Acrobat.
We opened a ticket with SAP... their response was it is a known issue with no solution.

Web report in PDF output differently with different parameter string delimiter.

Hi guys.
Thanks for the two reply to my previous question regarding matrix report.
I have another question,
I invoke a report in web browser, so I put
http://web-server/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe?server=aquarium+report=salmon.rdf+userid=salmon/fish@seaworld+desformat=PDF+destype=cache+paramform=no+p_fishid="123"+p_exp="01-JAN-2002"+p_exp2="01-APR-2002"
The above results an empty PDF report output, i.e., no data.
But if I do this,
http://web-server/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe?server=aquarium+report=salmon.rdf+userid=salmon/fish@seaworld+desformat=PDF+destype=cache+paramform=no+p_fishid='123'+p_exp='01-JAN-2002'+p_exp2='01-APR-2002'
Then the report will work.
The ONLY difference, is that my parameters values for the first (error) URL I uses " and for the second (successful) I uses ' to delimit it.
This only happens when DESFORMAT=PDF, I tried using Text or HTML, both worked fine with both string delimiters (" and ').
Help.

Hi, thanks for answering.
But if I use double quotes, no data is shown in the PDF. Just an empty report format. Is there any work around this?
I am using Oracle Report 6i running on Windows NT 4 and Oracle 8i database.
Please advice.

READ-ONLY CHARACTER MODE REPORT OUTPUT

Hi,
I am using Developer Suite 10g Report Builder to create a character mode report. I use commands as below to open the report output;
PROCEDURE Run_Report (vReportname varchar2) IS
LINEBUF VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
linebuf := NULL;
linebuf :='C:\DevSuiteHome_1\bin\rwrun ';
linebuf :=linebuf||vReportname;
linebuf :=linebuf||'destype=file desname=c:\windows\temp\L610.prn ';
linebuf :=linebuf||'&& "C:\Program Files\TextPad 5\TextPad.exe" C:\windows\temp\L610.prn';
host('cmd /c '||linebuf);
END;
The reason why I am using third party software is because customer wanted to view the report output first before proceed with printing and I had tried with all option PDF, HTML, Notepad, Wordpad, Ms Word Viewer 2003, they all got problem wether fail to preview the output nicely or printer cannot recognize the generic output. As for now Textpad is the best in both to preview nicely and printer with generic driver can print the output nicely.
But there is another problem. Anybody can edit the output preview onTextpad and customer do not want that to happend (security for accounting data).
So, can anyone suggest me how to create the ouput in READ-ONLY mode? But please do not advise me to print directly to the printer because on 9i PREVIEWER function works well while on 10g this function has been obselate so I need to find the replacement of PREVIEWER function to running on web.
Thanks.
Regards,
Faisal

What about trying to view the text in the browser (IE/Mozilla)? That is what we do about reports produced by reports server: they are written in files on the reports server machine and opened with the browser, or they are sent directly to the printer.
Otherwise, i simply see no way to prevent a text editor from editing the file on screen. If, let's say you make the file read-omly, that won't do, for the user may change the data on screen and print what's on screen without saving the file...

Output mismatch between BEx query output and WebI Report output

Hi All,
I have a BEx query in which there are only characteristics placed in rows.
There are combinations of the values of the characteristics giving different records in the query output.
Date is one of the characterisctics in the query output.
There is an output mismatch between the query output and the WebI report output in the following case:
When there are 'Not Assigned' or '#' or blank values, there are additional entries(rows) in the WebI report, giving repeating or wrong entries in the Date field. This is incorrect data.
Is this because of the 'Not Assigned' or '#' or blank values of the Characteristics or is there any other reason?
How do I fix this?
Please helo me with this.
Thanks and Regards,
Srilakshmi B

Hi Rajesh,
I need to verify the WebI report output for records with # and 'Not assigned' values for the cHracteristics in the report.
So I cannot check the WebI report by hiding the # or Not assigned values.
The problem is that in the Query output the records are like these shown below:
Char1                    CHar2                          CHar3                       Date field
A                             B                                 C                                Date1
#(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)             No value
Where as the WebI report output is as below:
Char1                    CHar2                          CHar3                       Date field
A                             B                                 C                                Date1
#(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)      #(Not assgined)            Date1
As shown here, there are wrong/repeating entries for the Date field in the WebI report output.
Please check this and let me know what could be the issue and how do I fix it.
Thanks and Regards,
Srilakshmi B

Calling html file within web.show document as a report output

/* this is blank html file included javascript for disabling mouse right click working fine*/
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('http://prod.artisticmilliners.com:8000/files/file.html','_blank');
/* this is oracle report output within model frame working fine*/
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:void(window.open("'|| URL || '","","location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,"));self.close()','_self');
I want to add show report output with right mouse click disable. Pleae guide how can i do it?

Let me start by saying that disabling the right mouse will do nothing but frustrate users. It doesn't protect the page content from anything. There are various other ways to get the content from the page copied locally. And more importantly, this does not_ offer any kind of security.
Ok, so you have decided to do it anyway ;)
In order to make this happen, you would need to modify the report. I will assume that when you said "report" you meant Oracle Reports. Open the report file (.rdf) and edit the report's "Before Report Value".
The default value is:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=&Encoding">
</head>
<body dir=&Direction bgcolor="#ffffff">Change it to this:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=&Encoding">
</head>
<script language="javascript">
document.onmousedown=disableclick;
status="Right Click Disabled";
Function disableclick(e)
if(event.button==2)
alert(status);
return false;
</script>
<body oncontextmenu="return false" dir=&Direction bgcolor="#ffffff">Save the changes and retest.

Different Report Output based on different tabstrips on selection screen

Hi all,
I have a selection screen which has 3 tabstrips.
The screen nos are 101,102 and 103.
Now in each tab there are different input parameters and based on each tab there will be 3 different outputs.
i.e when I click on tab1 and give the required inputs i will get 1 report output.
similarly I will get different ouput in the other 2 tabs.
Can any one suggest some solution how to achieve this.
Thanks and Regards
Nazmul Azad

Look for documentation at [SELECTION-SCREEN - TABBED BLOCK |http://help.sap.com/abapdocu/en/ABAPSELECTION-SCREEN_TABBED.htm]
Adapgt the sample provided, and in the START-OF-SELECTON event add a CASE/WHEN to execute whichever report you want based on mytab-dynnr value.

Web rich client -- report tabs missing in edit mode

Hello,
A report was created in web Rich client and then was exported in the BO repository. In view mode, we
see all tabs, but in edit mode,only two tabs are displayed.
any idea please?
Thanks a lot.

hi,
I also faced the same issue.
I could replicate the issue suceessfully on a consistent basis.
STEPS to replicate the issue
1.     Create a new webi report using Island Resorts Marketing Universe
2.     Query Panel Objects
a.     Country, Resort, Service, Number of guests
3.     Run query (Tab 1 is created automatically)
a.     Report 1 u2013 Table containing above objects
4.     Right Click Report 1 - >Insert Report -> rename it to u2018Crosstabu2019
5.     Move the report tab to Left such that Crosstab appears as first tab
6.     Drag Crosstab from Templates.
a.     Pull Country and Resort objects as rows to Crosstab
b.     Pull Service as Column to Crosstab
c.     Pull Number of guests as measure to Crosstab
7.     Select Country -> Insert Break
8.     Select Resort -> Insert Break
9.     Select Resort First and Country Second -> Click on Merge Cells button
10.     Select No
11.     Now again click on Merge Cells button
12.     Select Yes this time.
13.     Save the report.
14.     View the report from Infoview. You will see both tabs
15.     Edit the report. (You cannot edit the second tab - Report 1. Edit the first tab u2018Crosstabu2019)
16.     only one tab is visible. Other tab u2018Report 1u2019 is missing.
Observations:
Report Footer appears as the top section in Map -> Structure
So my conclusion is when a reverse merge is applied on Crosstab with breaks, this issue occurs.
But i don't know how to recover the tabs in Edit mode.
Please let me know how to recover the missed tabs in Edit Mode. Also let me know the other scenarios which might lead to the same issue.

Vamsee

Controlling web report output

Hi, I would like to find out how to control the web report output generated by the server. Any help and ideas would be most welcomed.
I'm trying to get rid of the extra pair of <html> </html> tags generated by the report server. Below is an example of the html output generated by the server
<html>
<head>
<base href="http://server_name:port/reports/rwservlet/getfile/HW/YX+JyF1XNS6sQmfjO3063/39488071.htm">
</head>
</html>
<html>
<head>
</head>
</html>
What I want is
<html>
<head>
<base href="http://server_name:port/reports/rwservlet/getfile/HW/YX+JyF1XNS6sQmfjO3063/39488071.htm">
</head>
</html>
Apart from manually removing the tag myself, I can't find any documentation on how to do that. Is that even possible? I also notice that if I try to use paginated html reports builder, it doesn't give me the extra pair of <html> tags.
Thanks,
genie

Hi Genie,
Currentlty it is not possible. This is something that will be possible in one of the upcoming releases / patches of Oracle Reports.
However, this extra pair <html> tags will appear ONLY when you send the output directly to the browser, ie, when you use destype=cache in your command. If you send the output to a file, ie, destype=file, there will be no extra <html> tags. When you generate a file from Builder, it is equivalent to destype=file, that is why you do not see these tags in the output file.
The reason for having these extra <html> tags is: when you send the output to browser, the browser needs a BASE url, ie, a base path where the browser will look for any images etc. This BASE url is not part of the HTML output, but is written by Oracle Reports to tell the browser where the associated images etc are located.

Webi Report Output using dynamic Filter

Suppose my report output contains doc. number & document date which shows data of one year which filter is applied on global level means at query filters level.
Now I want to show output of only last 3 months from current date(report run date) on the basis of document date.
So how to proceed further in such scenario.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks
Pradip

You can filter it on the report level or the block level. Highlight either one and then add the filter (make sure the filter window is open).
Thanks
