Report output file permission

We are running Reports on Solaris and the report output
files are owned by oracle. Is there any way we can set
up the Report Server to allow read/write permission of
the output files to specific users?
Thanks,
Alex

Not sure if this is what you want but you can set the umask property in the shell that the reports server is running in. This should set the appropriate permissions for all files created by the Reports Server process.

I need your help in producing report output to OS file and dowloading it on to client's machine. This is 9iAS and Reports 6i patch 15 on Windows 2000 server.

Merging Crystal Report output files (rpt) into 1 rpt file.

Hi All,
Is there any way to merge output/result of multiple CR files into one output file (like .rpt)? Or any technique you can advise as a workaround?
I want to do this for archiving purposes and batch printing or .rpt files.
Thanks in advance.
-Alvin

At least one of the 3rd-party Report Managers listed at http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html allows you to automate the process of exporting multiple reports to pdf and merging the output into a single pdf file (with optional bookmarks). You can also generate page numbers and a table of content for the merged pdf file.

Dynamic report output file name

Hi,
I am generating a report using web interface by sending http string with required parameters.
Each time I run this report I am appending current date & time (mmddyyhhmm) string to the output file name.
Successfully I am able to get the outputs.
For example:
If report runs at 9:30am then MyReportOutput_0205040930.html
If report runs at 12:45pm then MyReportOutput_0205041245.html
But, I am facing the problem when I schedule the report. I want to append the report run date & time to the output file for scheduled runs.
Is it possible?
Please advise.
Thank you,
Prasad

hi,
for that you will have to use reports distribution. in the distribution XML file you can specify data fields from the report for various attributes, including the output file name.
you will have to create a column in your datamodel that creates this timestamp and then add it to your report name.
see the distribution/bursting example here on OTN for further information. click onthe getting started link on the reports homepage and then navigate to the INDEX. there you will find an overview of all the examples available.
thanks,

BIP Report Output File

Hi,
Can a BIP report be automatically launched (PDF) from Siebel, after being generated from a workflow using the GenerateBIPReport Method of the “XMLP Driver Service” BS. OOTB the BS saves the report in the Siebel file system and the user needs to navigate to my BIP and open the report.

Rename oracle EBS report output file

Hi,
I want to ask something about rename oracle EBS report. Is it possible to rename it from pl/sql statement?
example : o1234.out -> to oXXGL.out
Thanks

Not sure if this is what you want but you can set the umask property in the shell that the reports server is running in. This should set the appropriate permissions for all files created by the Reports Server process.

REP-0081: Error during file I/O operation.
REP-0110: Unable to open file '/tmp/Letter.pdf'.I am specifying the DESFORMAT=pdf, DESNAME='/tmp/Letter.pdf' and DESTYPE=File. Have also tried specifying the DESNAME as \\IPof the databse server \tmp.

Unable to send report output to printer when using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT in 10g

Hello All,
When I try to send my report output to a file from my form(10g), I get 'FRM-41213: Unable to connect to report server'. I can sucessfully send my report to printer when I set the REPORT_DESTYPE to 'PRINTER'.Here is the code from my when-button-pressed trigger.
Am I missing something?
declare
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object('PWRR_CTRL_TYP_MAINT');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'rep_ipkcaf7vm');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,FILE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'DFLT');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_FILENAME,'C:\TEST1.doc');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
     LOOP
     rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
          msg_alert('Report print successfully', 'I', FALSE);
ELSE
     msg_alert('Error when running report', 'I', FALSE);
END IF;
END;
Thanks,
Anna

Hi,
its because
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_FILENAME,'C:\TEST1.doc');
references the report rdf pr rep file to run, not the output file. The Reports output file is always specified with DESNAME

Report output not coming correctly

Hi All,
my query is like
select 'gggohpoopiokoljmkjjg@@@@@' record from dual;
where record string's length is more than 2000 characters.
I am using oracle report for this purpose as i have some other validations associated with it.
i am printing the report output in a flat file.i want ALL THE OUTPUT SHOULD COME IN ONE LINE.
but this is not happenning so...for the string lengths more than 1000 it's coming in diff line.
How can i make sure that my output file WILL BE IN SINGLE LINE.
i tried in unix vi editor i can give 3000 charecters but it doesn't go to the second line.
any help on this issue will be helpful
thanks in advance

If there's no easy way to do it, you may use a "special character", like chr(xx), as your long line delimiter to chop a line into a couple of lines. Then you write a very simple C program to post-process the report output file to remove these "special character".
If all characters are possible in your report file, you may use a string as the delimiter.

Send report output via email as zipped attachment

Is it possible for the report output to be zipped before being attached to an email when running on a windows reports_server? On unix we theoretically have the ability to modify the mail.sh shell script that performs the mail operation for reports.

Hi Richard
This is a Reports 9i solution.
You may create a batch file that runs the report, compresses the file and invokes, say, a Java application that mails the given .zip file.
More "advanced" options would be:
You may create a pluggable destination that captures report output. Next, your code does the compresses the output file and mails it.
A simpler solution would be to run two reports. First, that creates the reports output file. In its AFTER_REPORT trigger, call Java method (thru. Java Importer), that picks up the output file and compresses it. Second, that uses XML distribution feature of Reports 9i and mails the .zip file as a file attachment using appropriate construct.

Customized report result file name?

Hi,
If we schedule a report, can we give different name to the resultant report file?
For example report file name is ABC_REPORT.rdf and output format is HTML and scheduled daily at 2:00AM.
0n 08/15 report output should be ABC_REPORT_08150200.HTML and 0n 08/16 report output should be ABC_REPORT_08160200.HTML and so on.
Is it posiible? If so, where we need prepare the report output file name?
Thank you,
Prasad

Hi Prasad
In before report trigger you can create the desired name using value from your user parameters and set the value for desname parameter. This would solve your issue.
Thanks
