Report output to be stored in app server

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

balaji,
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.

Saving report output to a file on the server.

Hi,
We are using BI Publisher Standalone version 10.1.3.3.1.
Is it possible to schedule a report to output to a file on the server?
I want the whole report to be saved as a file on the server.
This is somewhat similar to bursting to a file system, but, I don't want to split the output.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nanda

Yes, use the scheduler and schedule the report,
do the bursting into FTP or
schedule the report to run and run it into FTP as a single FILE.
First option, you need to provide the query , with FTP server name, username, password etcccc.

How Do You Debug Oracle Report Calls From Forms On The App Server?

I am working on a system which uses oracle forms and reports 10g.
In our system we call, we are calling oracle reports from oracle forms. How do we debug the form code when the form and report both are running on the application server in production.
To my knowledge, this can not be done when the form is running locally since there is only OC4J forms services locally.
I understand one views error messages through the jinitiator console but how does one turn on this facility? How do you determine what line the error occurred?
I am looking for step by step instructions as answer to this issue.
Please be specific. Please write in good English.

Good afternoon,
If you have the developer suite installed on your PC, run the report from your form and then follow this tree from the start button on your PC:
Developer Suite Home =>
Reports Developer =>
Oracle Application Server Report Services =>
Reports Queue Manager
Select View => Past Jobs and then find your report in the list, double-click the report entry and you'll see the error message that was generated by the Report Server when you tried to run the report.
Good luck,
Don.

Execute listcube in background - where is the file stored on app server

Hi,
I want to execute listcube in background.
to execute in background, the only output option available is Store in file (appl server).
My question is where is this file stored.
there is no information in the job log nor is there any spool.
Also, can I determine myself where is this output file written.

I have a couple of questions that could lead to an answer to your question...
Does your BW environment have one or more application servers, in addition to the Database Central Instance (DBCI)? If so, do you use logon groups for SAP Logon so that the logon loads are balanced?
I'm asking these questions because if you have a multiple application server environment and logon balancing, you may not be logging onto the same server every time that you're executing LISTCUBE and it will save to the directory path of the server you're logged onto.

Multiple screens issue on App Server 10.1.2.3

Hi, I'm having an issue with having multiple screen open within the same session on App Server 10g.
The first screen opens and operates just fine.
When I open the 2nd screen, I have some poplists that get built when it opens, but it doesn't seem to populate them. If I close my first screen and this one, then open this screen, it works fine. I do have some "Global" variables that we're using that may be causing the issue. THey worked fine in the days of 6i but conflicting now in 10g when multiple screens are opened.
I was wondering if there was a solution to get around this, or there is a config file that I could change that would resolve this.
Any help is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Chris

Hi,
We have just run it through with the same patchset for the installer. This is a clean install of Win OS and installed the 10g database first.
We receive the following error when installing the App Server (Forms & Reports)

When we type NET HELPMSG 3547 (as suggested), we receive the following error message:

Are you running Windows Server 2008 (first release) or Windows Server 2008 R2?
Any suggestions? I will try installing the App Server without installing the database now to see if that makes any difference.

Scheduling jobs in different app server

Hi all,
Does anyone knows how to schedule a background job in a specific app server, by using FM JOB_SUBMIT / JOB_CLOSE?
I've analysed SAP documentation for these FMs and it says that the parameter EXTPGM_SYSTEM can be used to inform the app server in which the program will be ran. However, it seems to be for external programs and my requirement is just to set a abap report to run in a specific app server.
SAP documentation says:
EXTPGM_SYSTEM Parameter
Name of the host system on which an external program is to be run. You must supply a value for this parameter.
Note: You must specify both the name of an external program and the name of the system on which it is to be executed.
As I don't have an external program, just the abap report, I'm not sure I can use such parameter to schedule the job at the desired app server.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Rafael.

Kartik,
there is another program which people uses to read the generated files. As per the server load balancing, some output files are being created in server A, and some in server B. With this parameter, the output files would be generated only in server A.
So, Bryan, that does make sense.
So, you mean I should consider only JOB_CLOSE in order to inform target system? Should I ignore the external program parameters in JOB_OPEN?

Forms based system on App server 10.1.2.2 windows server 2008 questions

Hi guys,
We run a 10g forms based MRP system. We converted to 10g 3 years ago and have been selling our system without issue now for that time.
The current system has a shelf life of at least 3 more years whilst we develop a new system in 11g and jdeveloper.
We currently deploy on windows 2003 R2 with app server 10.1.2.2.
We cant move to patchset 10.1.2.3 as they are not backward compatible with our JAR file and we do not have the man power to upgrade all our customers in a short space of time.
Eventually 2003 will cease to be available (not sure the shelf life on this, has anyone any idea?)
Which leaves Server 2008 as the only available server. This does not work with 10.1.2.2.. so we are struggling to find a way round our issues.
Any ideas?

File picking and placing in same dir App server of SAP XI using NFS.

Hi All,
As I am new to XI,
I am using XI 3.0,
My scenario is File ->XI-> File.
This is just a pass through data that is no IR objects.
I need to pick the file from App server(AL11) of R/3 sys , we have a dir as "/sai/output"
so in order to pick file from the App server of R/3 sys using NFS,
the dir "/sai/output" is mounted into the App server(AL11) of XI ie.., there is a same dir in AL11 of XI as "/sai/ouput".
so when ever the file(sai.txt) is placed in the "/sai/output" in r/3 App server , i am able to see the file(sai.txt) in the "/sai/output" in XI App server.
what i am trying to do is pick the file(sai.txt) and place the file(kumar.txt) it in same dir " /sai/output" of XI Appserver using NFS.
sender cc parameters are like these :
Transport protocol : NFS
source dir :    \sai\output\
filename :      sai.txt
Qos : Exactly once
Poll intervel : 10sec
processing mode : delete
Receiver cc parameters are like these:
Transport protocol : NFS
target dir :     \sai\output\
filename :      kumar.txt
So my questions are
1) can i place the file in App server (AL11) dir "/sai/ouput" of XI where i am picking the file it from the same location ie.., App server (AL11) dir "/sai/output"
2) If so, the procedure(cc parameters) which i have shared is correct.
Correct me if am wrong.
Thanks
Sai

Hi Sai,
    The files need rwx bits to be set before being picked up by channel
Thus you need to use "chmod +777 sai.txt" before the file is picked up.
Thus you can try set up the parameter "operating system command before processing" to "chmod +777 sai.txt" in the channel.
you can look into this link for setting this parameter
/people/sameer.shadab/blog/2005/09/21/executing-unix-shell-script-using-operating-system-command-in-xi
How are you accessing the file directory? if you are using WINSCP, you can right click on the file and check the read, write, execute bits on for the file.
"/out/output " is perfectly ok for UNIX/LINUX operating system.
Now in RWB pls check the polling of communication channel.
   and check in SXMB_MONI whether some messages are being received or not.
regards
Anupam

Running 10.1.2 forms and 10.1.3 app server on same machine

Has anyone installed and run (in production) both 10.1.2 Forms/Reports and the 10.1.3 app server on the same machine? We would like to make use of the new OC4J features in 10.1.3 but also need to support a forms/reports app.
If someone has done this, any pitfalls. Is there a way to have one HTTP front-end to both app servers?
Thanks.

Hi
This is an upgrade of a 9.0.4. installation. Infrastructure on one machine, a single middle tier on the other with all products (i.e. with forms and reports).
I am following the install guides http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/sol.1012/quickupgrade.1012/quickupgrade/toc.htm and http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/sol.1012/upgrade.1012/upgrade/toc.htm
The plan is to replace exactly what we have with the 10.1.2 versions. It was just that it does suggest there is this extra step to link Forms and reports to the infrastructure. But if you say nothing else is required than all the better.
I am soon to try this in out test environment so I'm sure I will find there.
thanks

How to store the report output in app server local directory

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).

Running Reports 10g on Apps Server

We have a Windows 2003 apps server running Oracle Forms and Reports 10g.
We are having a problem running reports in Oracle 10g, and believe it to be something to do with the configuration files. Currently, we can run the test report through Enterprise Manager using both the default reports service and the one that we have created. However we are unable to run our own reports through forms.
To check that there was nothing wrong with our forms, we copied one of the reports into the â¦\forms10g\reports\samples\demo folder to see if we could run it through Enterprise Manager. However, we get the following error:
Rep-110: Unable to open file â¦â¦
Rep-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
Rep-0110: Unable to open file â¦...
We then renamed the test.rdf file and tried to run that. Again we got the above message. Next we tried again to run test.rdf, even though this no longer existed, and the report ran. This implied that it isn't actually running the report, but has the report output stored somewhere, and it just displays this.
No matter how we try to run reports, and with which reports service, we always get the above error.
So why is it that no reports will run, not even the test one when it is renamed? Is there a configuration setting somewhere?

Hi All,
Hope YOu are fine.
We have running Oracle Forms and Reports Services 10g on Windows 2000 Advanced Server.
The Application Works fine, and reports are generated successfully.
But when we access the same application by using either Linux OS (RHEL 4.0, Ubuntu 6),
The forms works fine but Linux OS could not run the report.
This seems to be a configuration problem.
Any Clues.
Thanks and Looking Forward.

Report - Unable to display image stored on External server

Hi
I need to display image on report that is on different instance for that i had put a formula column (in report 10g) and for that coloum i made file format as image and read from file as Yes and giving it the URL of Image stored on different server . but at run time for PDF output i am getting error like REP-1295: Data format of column 'CF_1' is unsupported
Please help me , Thx in advance.
Ranga

From the documentation:
URL Reference
1.Insert a dummy image in your template.
2.In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{'http://image location'}
For example, enter: url:{'http://www.oracle.com/images/ora_log.gif'}
Element Reference from XML File
1.Insert a dummy image in your template.
2.In Microsoft Word's Format Picture dialog box select the Web tab. Enter the following syntax in the Alternative text region to reference the image URL:
url:{IMAGE_LOCATION}
where IMAGE_LOCATION is an element from your XML file that holds the full URL to the image.
You can also build a URL based on multiple elements at runtime. Just use the concat function to build the URL string. For example:
url:{concat(SERVER,'/',IMAGE_DIR,'/',IMAGE_FILE)}
where SERVER, IMAGE_DIR, and IMAGE_FILE are element names from your XML file that hold the values to construct the URL.
This method can also be used with the OA_MEDIA reference as follows:
url:{concat('${OA_MEDIA}','/',IMAGE_FILE)}
