Report Path in Application Server

Can we have multiple paths for .rfd files in Application server 9ias? Actually we have two separate applications. We wanted to keep .rdf files in separate folders on app server. Is there a way when we run one application, it should check rdf files from one folder and for second application, check from second folder.
Thanks

Hi,
This is possible in Reports9i patch 1 onwards. You can use a feature called Dynamic Environment Switching. You can define 2 environments in the Reports Server Config file (each with a different REPORTS_PATH). At runtime, you have to specify the ID that identifies your environment. Pl see Patch 1 (or later) release notes:

    ... another question would be why not upgrade those old Forms & Reports to the newest release 10.1.2.0.2 and use the latest Application Server to run them with?
    Release 6i and 1.0.2.2 is as you know desupported.

  • Installation of forms reports and oracle application server 10g

    Hi,
    I have been using client server till now, now planning to move to 10g. Got the developer suite 10g.
    Tell me how and where to install forms/reports and Oracle application server... I mean forms reports should be on developer PC then what about application server? should it be on a different dedicated server? or can i have it on database server?
    in case, if I install application server on one server and database is on another server then what about forms and reports?
    please tell me which is the right option?

    please tell me which is the right option?Ideally, you should have two separate server machines.
    One for the database server.
    One for the Application Server.
    The Application Server is basically used for hosting your forms and reports, so you dont have to place the forms and reports on the developer PC or at any other server.

  • Convert file path in application server as link

    How can we convert file path in application server as link to send email.
    Thanks
    Suresh

    Your app server folders have a mappable location on your network, e.g,
    server\path\filename.  Use an HTML anchor tag and build the link with code.  You'd be better off storing files on a file server (write to a mapped location from the app server) and link to there (same process).

    Hi,
    Well you just need to create a directory in paste your forms there, and then make an entry in the formsweb.cfg file and forms.conf files. Likewise there are entries for the images and report.

  • Blank printout in report 6i from Application server oracle 9i

    Hello,
    3 days before our application server (oracle 9i for windows NT 1.0.2.0.0) hard disk crashed.
    We have installed AS.
    Now when user runs report from client pc and selects destination type as "cache" and submit query he can see the output. When he changes destination type as "printer" and give printer name (as installed on AS) in destination name and submit query the message "Report output was successfully printed out" comes but on printer only blank page is printed.
    This happens for all laser printers installed on AS, but not for line(generic) printer.
    On 2nd AS I have same printers as on 1st AS.There printouts are coming properly.
    Please tell me what I have missed on while installing new AS.
    Thanks

  • How to find a path in Application server?

    Hi,
    I have a reqirement that i need to download the original document which is attached in the DIR links for each line item in the PO.
    Say for Eg. user is uploading the original document in CV03n.
    Through program i have to download it and save it in local desktop.
    But as per my concern when user uploads that document in CV03N,  it should get updated in application server.
    I wants to know how can i find that path through the document got updated in AL11.
    Please let me know if you have any idea on this.
    Also please let me know if my question is not clear.
    Regards,
    Prabu

    Hi Prabu,
    It depends on how DMS is implemented in your place.
    If DMS is implemented along with CONTENT SERVER, then the actual document uploaded is stored in CONTENT SERVER and only a link is saved in SAP DB and whenever you refer to this link the image is being retrieved and displayed.
    If you dont have content server then the uploaded documents are stored in your application server only. Generally the big companies which implement DMS do have a content server otherwise DB size will grow enormously in no time.
    Once you check out the basics of ur requirement, then search through FM's available related to DMS.
    Hope this answer helps.

  • File path for application server file

    Hi All,
                 I have a file 'abc.doc' stored on the application sever.
                I want to crate a document using the BAPI_DOCUMENT_CREATE and store this file
                What is the file path that I need to pass into the bapi.
    Please help
    Warm Regards
    Sunil Kumar.

    Hello Sunil
    You are right. That's the file path you should specify. It looks like your application server is running on UNIX platform. You can use transaction AL11 to locate your file and specify the file path in normal unix format. If this doesnt work, you can try prefixing your file path with "file:// ".
    Cheers

  • Oracle Reports with Other Application Server

    Can Oracle Reports be run within other Application Server such as WebSphere?

    Thank you in Advance

    Hi Fred Narthasilpa,
    I have searched thru some of the Oracle Manuals for the same and found that they will provide support to Websphere soon, to publish Oracle Reports.

  • Creating reports using oracle application server

    Hello All,
    I am a complete newbie with Oracle Application Server(OAS) and Oracle reports. My task is to generate HTML and PDF reports using OAS. The current application has a aspx pages(ASP.NET as front end) which calls a third party tool Fast Radar Report which fetches data as per the user need(like month, day, year, product name....) and displays it in a grid format. I have to remove the FastRadar part and use OAS's OracleAS Reports Services components to generate those reports
    I went through chapter 12 of Oracle.Application.Server.10g.Essentials by OReilly 2004 edition
    It briefly glances through that part. But, it seems to mention about Oracle Reports something like "Oracle Reports has a wizard-based frontend called Oracle Reports Developer that can build reports. Oracle Reports Developer is part of the Oracle Developer Suite. The reports created with Oracle Reports Developer can be deployed to the Web using OracleAS Reports Services support in Oracle Application Server."
    I am unclear what to do. Do I need to create the report format in Oracle Reports using wizard-based frontend called Oracle Reports Developer and then deploy it using OracleAS Reports Services?
    Or, is there a way to create the report format using OracleAS Reports Services without using Oracle Reports. I am told we have just OAS installed, don't know if Oracle reports is installed or not as it is done on a remote site.
    Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    One has to develop reports using Oracle Reports developer and then has to deploy it into the application server. To do so you need the Oracle developer suite installed, this has wizards which can be used to develop reports.

  • Naming Convention for  path in Application Server

    Hello Guru's,
                        I asked my basis team to create flat file source system. he asked me " what path to follow, any sub directories"?.  
    they are asking me naming convention for a path in App server to create i think ? usually what will be the naming convention for path.
    please help me
    Thanks,
    Prashanth

    Hi,
    Create flatfile source system is no need path and sub directory on app server. You can create yourself go TCODE RSA1>Source system>file-->create.
    path and sub directory only need if you want to load data from flatfile which is stored in application server. This will be determined in extraction tab of your datasource and infopackage.
    Hope this helps.

  • Deploye 9i reports on 10g application server and run report

    Dear All
    I am new to oracle application server.
    We have application developed in oracle 9i developer suit (forms and reports).
    I have deployed the forms on application server quit easily by configuring formsweb.cnfg file. I am using mmb file for menu and all the forms are attahed to it and running. I am facing proble in deploying and run the reports through menu i.e mmb file. Some one told me that it is better to run reports from forms. So i put the button on form and use the command of web.show_document and its URL in braces and define the key in cgdcmd.dat (i dont know the exact name of file).
    Key was some thing like this :
    reptest: abc/abc@orcl desttype = cache %*
    and in url:
    http://192.168.1.147:7779/reports/repservlt?reptest&..... d:\abd\reports\report.rdf
    (i dont know exactly the url)
    but any way, after that i run the form and press the button to call reports,...., browser does open and it shows a report template but not with the report data but with REP-ERROR. Error was i guess 52001 or 2. well the message of report error was. "reptest key cannot be found" / "reptest key is not defined".
    while i have already define the key in above mention .DAT file. and after that i have restart the instance but still no use.
    CAN ANY ONE HELP !, I AM IN GRAVE SITUATION OF EMERGENCY AS I HAVE TO CONFIGURE REPORTS ON MENEU TILL TOMORROW ANY HOW.
    Thanks
    Abdul Majid.

    There is a forms/reports only installation available and it is safe to use this. This is if you ONLY want to run forms and reports and don't need things like SSO
