Report output generated on server

hi, i am using developer 10g. My report's output destination is cache, file, mail etc.
while i am creating a file as an output through my reports, it sends the output file to server instead of local machine. how can i generate the output file on client. i am using the oc4j instance of server while generating reports.
thanks

Hello,
You can use DESTYPE=LOCALFILE with rwclient. If rwclient is not available on the "Client PC", you can use a free utility like curl.exe and execute a command like :
curl "http://server:port/report/rwservlet?server=repserver&destype=cache&desformat=pdf&report=test" -o c:\tmp\output.pdf

Issue with Varchar2 field conversion for report output generated in EXCEL

Hello All,
I have an unique problem with one of my new reports for the User. The user wants the report output generated in excel data only(delimited data) format *(reports builder 10g)* .
Everything was fine until i encountered this problem, there was this field which has unique ID's(alphanumeric and numeric), when i tried to run the report and generate output in Excel the numeric ID's say for example *(41593497999679354429)* is converted in excel and displayed like *(2.5881E+19)* and after format cells in excel it displays *(41593497999679300000).*
The issue is only with 20 digits numeric ID's , if i append any special character to the end say '#' or '..' it shows the exact value along with the appended character. But the user insist they need only the value that is in the table. I am finding it hard to figure out, if any one of you have encountered the same issue or if any of you have any suggestions to overcome this excel conversion thing please do advice me.
Thanks in advance :)

Thanks for you response, but i already tried what you suggested, instead of appending single quote in front of ID, i did at the end prior with '#', it preserves the value if i add any character to the id but the appended value shows up too :(.
Well, i just got the solution and it did work, thanks to [Brian Hill|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=651632] for the post, i did what exactly he said and it worked. I was so very happy and wanted to share with everyone.

How to store the report output in app server local directory

Dear All,
I would like to store the reports output in the app server folder. How do i achieve?
I am using reports10g, app server 10g. I am using web.show_document to call the reports. I would like to the achieve the same using this web.show_document built in.
Thanks
Balaji

Hi,
using desname pointing to an path on the apps-server the output is stored there. But when opening before in browser, then this document is stored in temporary folder on the client and you can't store them then to the apps server (if you not map the apps server or use web dav to do that).

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.

Delivery report output for'Ship-to party address and Sold-to party address'

Hi Experts,
We have an report output generated upon delivery creation.
We need print following fields:
Ship-to party #
Ship-to party Name
Ship-to Party Address
Sold-to party #
Sold-to party Name
Sold-to Party Address
As per i understand, we could get those field according to partner function....
So experts, could please advise me from which table and field and logic to get above information....
Thank you very much!!

Hi,
Are you changing partner details in delivery document?
This partner address details will be updated in VBPA table.
E.g change the partner street no. in delivery document manually.
Now goto VBPA table, enter correspondence sales document number for that delivery and execute.
Click on partner function AG / WE get the address number (ADRNR) .
Now goto ADRC table, enter this address number in ADRNR field and execute. you will get partner details.

Chandra

Ordering messed up when generating Report as Delimited on Server

Hi folks,
Not sure if anyone else might have observed or faced this issue but thought I'd give it a try. I have an Oracle Report (Version 6i) and the output generated should be a tab delimited text file so the user can view the output in Excel. The Report output is sorted by Name. When I run the Report locally (Client) by doing File -> Generate to File -> Delimited (Delimiter Option: Tab), the Report works fine. The ordering is correct. However, when I am running it off the server (Using the option DELIMITED for the DESFORMAT), the ordering seems messed up. The ordering is maintained for quite a few rows and then a Name (out of order appears). Note that this record also appears in the correct place as well as above the place where its expected to be ... Here is an example:
Name                     ID     BIRTH DATE
==========================================
ALLAN, BRIAN             1001   1970/12/31
ALLAN, SUSAN             2001   1968/01/01
FRANCIS, JOHN            5001   1965/02/01
BROWN, EDWARD            3001   1978/01/02
BROWN, JENNY             4001   1976/04/01
FRANCIS, JOHN            5001   1965/02/01
GRAHAM, DALE             6001   1980/10/10As you can see that FRANCIS, JOHN is appearing out of order and in order (Twice). This is not happening when I run it on the Client. Any ideas what may be causing this? I realize I don't have much information out here as I myself am at my wits end.
Thanks

XML publisher report not generating output for huge XML files

Changed Depreciation Projections Report output type to XML.
Defined a Data Definition and a new Data Template (RTF) for this report.
Ran the Depreciation Projection Report to generate the XML output.
Ran the XML Report Publisher report to generate teh PDF/Excel output of the above report.
Output generated for smaller XML files. When XML size is big, the program is running for hours without generating the output.
Teh RTF template is basically a matrix report in which the number of columns in the report is based on the number of periods the report is run for.
The same is not working in the Desktop version also. The system is hanging when i try to view the preview pdf.
The XML file size is approximately 33 MB.
Please let me know if there is any way we can increase the memory size to see the output.
Thanks,
Ram.

BI Publisher - PO_DISPATCH Error generating report output

Hi everyone,
Sorry for my bad english... having said that...
I need to modify the Purchase Order print. First, I wanted to see the standard version to get an idea of how much different it was. Well, I don't know because it doesn't work.
Error:
Error generating report output: (235,2309)
Error occurred during the process of generating the output file from template file, XML data file, and translation XLIFF file.
I know there are several topics on the web, but all of them are about new or custom reports, this is a standard one. When I preview the report on the report definition it works fine, so I assume there's a problem with the XML file generated. When I preview the report specifying an alternative XML I get the same error. The XML file I choose was the one generated by PeopleSoft when trying to view the printable version of the PO online.
So, I start cutting portions of the XML File. I started leaving only de Header Data and it works OK, when I add the Lines it failed. I add the Line Fields one by one to detect what was the problem... And finally it failed when I add AMT_LINE_MAX. Why? No idea, is it because its value is '0,000' instead of '0.000'? I don't think that should be the problem since there are other numeric fields on the header, all with ',' as a decimal separator...
Am I missing some configuration?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Veronica.

Have a look at the following doc:
"Error generating report output. (235,2309)" When Running the "PO XMLP Dispatch" XML Publisher Report (PO_DISPATCH) for a Purchase Order with a Ship To Location with Special Characters in the Address [ID 1299876.1]
https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/DocContentDisplay?id=1299876.1
Stating this happens for example when there is a location with special characters.

Hi,
Please suggest the soution for the below:
We are using SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY and WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to create report. Now Requirement is to save the report output to Client instead of server. I tried to use WEBUTIL but web util can be used from form only becuase that is using form item.
(1) We are calling all our report from a form. Is there any option to trigger a action when ever a report job is created in Application server (report server)
(2) Please let me now is there any option to create the output directly to client of application server 10G R1WIN , 10GR2WIN or in 11G. If yes please let me know the details.

Oracle Reports 9I generate output in excel

Report Builder 9.0.4.0.33
I tried generating output to Excel using 10GR2 Report builder using SPREADSHEET for destype on the web and it works.
The requirement is for this one customer who is on 9I and they are asking for excel output functiuonality on thier existing reports.
Does oracle has a patch or any other way to generate the exisitng reports on 91 where we can give them a selection like SPREADSHEET in the parameter screen and it would generate the report in excel.
Thanks
I tried by appending below to the url in the before report trigger.
&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel
which works but, we give other selections to the user too where they can change the desformat to PDF or HTMLCSS...and they all try to open the report output in excel.
Edited by: Forms_Reports_Beginner on Oct 6, 2009 3:17 PM

Thank you Lalitk and Dennis,
My team mate wrote a javascript function on before report trigger that checks the paramter selection for desformat and append the mimetype accordingly.Hence, able to achieve the functionality.
Thanks.

Using web.show_doc u can only display the reports. If you want it to be stored in the server, you can use run_report_object.
