Report 6i and Blob

Currently, I have a word document (BLOB) stored in a table.
The goal is to fetch the BLOB and display the content of the word doc in the report.
I've tried to add a report field which maps to the db column as Binary LOB with File Format property = 'text'. (I've also tried File Format property = OLE and few others. none of them works)
All I am getting is bunch of scrambled character.
What am I missing here?
Thanks!

I looked around Metalink and found...
Unable to Display Complete MS-Word Document from Oracle Reports [ID 233445.1].
It mentioned one work around is to transform the ms-doc to a text file.
However, I am more interesting in what you mentioned earlier... "Split the original in several one page doc."
Is there a programming way to achieve the goal for splitting the original doc in several pages while save into DB via Oracle Form? or do we just have to split the doc manually?
Thanks.

Storing oracle-reports generated pdf-report onto a blob

Hey ppl,
I have this requirement:
I basically generate a report from Jdev using a remote servlet call to oracle reports, which very neatly generates the pdf document for me and stores it locally. The problem is immediately storing this onto the DB as a blob once the report is generated. I know how to store the pdf as a blob onto the DB. I know how to make the call to oracle-reports and generate my pdf. What I don't know is to sequentially first generate the local pdf report and only once that has been generated proceed to store it onto my DB.
I want it to be done within the scope of a single request. As in, the entire process should be complete through one cycle. I don't want to keep a day end sort of procedure that inserts into the db at the end of the day.
As soon as the report has been requested by the user, I want the pdf file(which is generated by the reports) to also be stored onto the DB.
My problem (which i apologize has been repeated already 2wice above) is that I basically lose control once redirected through the servlet to the report call. There is no way i can instruct Jdev, from the reports side, that the pdf has been generated and now has to be stored onto the DB, as i have lost the session context by redirecting to a different servlet.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
Cheers

Hi,
its quite some time ago that I a looked Oracle Reports, however, I think that the event mechanism is quite complex to achieve
I want it to be done within the scope of a single request.
Which means that if Oracle Reports hangs, the user session follows.
As in, the entire process should be complete through one cycle.
Unfortunately you don't control how long reports run, which means that there is no sense in stopping the page lifecycle for this
I don't want to keep a day end sort of procedure that inserts into the db at the end of the day.
Fair enough, but as far as I remember there is an eventing in Reports that would allow you to have the Oracle Reports Server triggering the upload
So I think, the architecture I would go for is:
- user requests report
- report generates PDF output
- reports uploads to DB
- reports_processing table holds user ID and reports ID plus flag to update when report is done
- If using JSF, you could use af:poll to check frequently for the report to be finished.

How to show in a report a pdf blob from database

Hi all
We are working on report 6i and report 10. We have a report wich needs to show a blob field from database that storages a pdf (type application/pdf). OLE2 is deprecated. The pdf blob field must be displayed in a preview and must be printed. In local, it works. When it works on a browser, the pdf blob field is missing. If we load the field into a pdf file, the field is not visible in the browser.
Do not get it to work. How I can implement? Could you give us any example for this?

In local, it works. What do you mean by that exactly? You see the pdf in Reports Builder?
If you just want to show the pdf in a browser (not embedded in a report) it is easy to use mod_plsql. You can have a simple db procedure like this to show any kind of blob:
procedure show_webdoc(io_blob    in out nocopy blob
                     ,i_mimetype in varchar2
                     ,i_filename in varchar2)
is
begin
   if dbms_lob.getlength(io_blob) >0 then
      owa_util.mime_header(nvl(i_mimetype,'application/octet'),false);
      htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(io_blob));
      htp.p('Content-Disposition: inline; filename="'||i_filename|| '"');
      owa_util.http_header_close;
      wpg_docload.download_file(io_blob);
   end if;
end show_webdoc;

My report contains a BLOB (image), why it can't generate an XML file?

Hi guys,
I created a report (Purchase Order) and it has a Signature field.
which is a BLOB column of an image (.JPEG) of the signature of the Purchase Order Approver.
When i run the report in the report builder its working and it shows the image of the signature.
BUT when i try to generate xml file to use it for the XML Publisher, it generates an xml file with error. which can't be loaded into the .rtf file.
i Googled around and it seems that there are limitations in XML Publisher that can not load a BLOB or LONG RAW fields.
So Please guys i need your help! what can i do now ?
They need the Purchase Order in a custom PDF format, which i can only make it with XML Publisher.

Store report output to blob column

Hi,
I would like to know whether it is possible to execute a report built using Report 10G and store its output, e.g. PDF content, onto a blob column of a table directly? If it's possible, could anyone show me an example in achieving it. Thank you.
Regards,
John

Navneet,
Thanks for the sample. I've tried setting up this custom destination and I get the following error when trying to run a report.
REP-50125: Caught exception: java.lang.NullPointerException
The URL that I am using is as follows:
http://server_name:port/reports/rwservlet?report=report_name.rdf&userid=username/password@tnsname_entry&destype=BLOBdestination&desformat=PDF&DESNAME=http://username/password@host_name:port/instance/table_name/document_column_name/primary_key_column_name/10/report_desc_column_name
Any ideas on what I've done wrong?
Thanks

Parameters report whit StoredProcedure

Hi everyone,
i've a big problem with a report:
This reports uses a StoredProcedure with 3 parameters, one of this is "Agent NAME" (string).
This report is used by an application and it pass to the report the "agent value"...
The problem is this:
When an agent open the report, he can see in a combo his value name but he can modify the name too ( typing new values).
Unfortunately, I cannot change the parameter and i cannot set 'FALSE' in the parameter proprieties: "CUSTOM VALUES".
How can I avoid that the agent inserts the custom values?
I want that the agent opens the report and doesn't insert any values.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
Thanks!

Interactive Report with PDF BLOB

I have a table with a blob that contains a PDF, is there a way that I can convert this to an IRR?
I don't want to view the PDF contents I just want to search that blob field it using my oracle text index (and obtain the scoring) and my other fields normally....
Here is my original query syntax:
SELECT id as Download,score (1) || '%' "PDF Relevance",abbreviation
FROM listing
where
some criteria listed.....
and
contains(blob_content,'%' || :P2_SEARCH || '%',1) > 0
Thanks,
Justin

Marco,
Are you aware of anyway that I could create a view of my blob data and search it that way for a temporary fix? The blob data is only updated twice a year so refreshing it is not a concern as I can take care of that?
I may have to just create a separate search for the full text of the PDF via the Oracle text index. :(
Thanks,
Justin

Problem providing download link for BLOB data in apex report

Hi,
I am trying to create a report on a table with BLOB data so that the report displays a "download" link for the BLOB data. I am trying to give users the ability to download files from a website.
I have been following the instructions in OBE "Defining and Viewing BLOB Data in Oracle Application Express 3.1".
In the report, for the BLOB column, I have specified values for the following fields in Report Attributes->Column Formatting->Number/Date Format->BLOB Download Format Mask:
BLOB Table
BLOB Column
Primary Key Column 1
MIME Type Column
Filename Column
BLOB Last Updated Column
However, when I run the report, I get the following error, even thought there is data loaded into the table:
report error:
ORA-01403: no data found
When I remove the BLOB Download Format Mask information for the BLOB column, then the data displays in the report, but without the "download" link for the BLOB data (which is expected):
E.g.
Title Author Created BLOB_CONTENT
Siebel & RAC Best Practices     Erik.Peterson     17-SEP-08     [datatype]
Siebel Grid Case Studies     Mark.MacDonald     17-SEP-08     [datatype]
Siebel CRM Applications protected by Oracle Clusterware     Kelly.Tan     17-SEP-08 [datatype]
Oracle Grid: The Optimal Platform for Siebel Solutions Mark.MacDonald 17-SEP-08     [datatype]
Any ideas why I'm seeing the ORA_01403 when I specify the BLOB Download Format Mask?
Edited by: user716599 on Sep 18, 2008 12:31 AM

Good morning,
Here is how I have solved this problem.
1. The select statement in the sql for the report should not include the BLOB column. I decided to select only 2 columns, the column that has the key and the column with the filename.
2. On the first column ( the primary key ) I put in the format statement that was simply DOWNLOAD:TABLENAME:BLOB_COLUMN:PRIMARY_KEY
This works. I believe that the Oracle error I was getting was because I was trying to apply this format statement to the actual BLOB column.
So, it appears that you can use any of the columns in the report to hold the DOWNLOAD format statement since in the format statement, you are defining the BLOB table, BLOB column and the primary key into that column.
Hope this helps,
Don.

Distribute Reports to Blob Column

Is it possible to distribute BI Publisher reports to a blob column? I would like this feature for my scheduled reports.
Regards,
Todd

Thanks for the replies,
I'm not familiar with these solutions, so I will need to research...
I would like to have my application users submit BIP reports to the BIP scheduler. Then once the BIP reports are distributed to a blob column (in a table I define). The application users could then retrieve their reports from the blob column...
I like the idea of having the report in a blob column as it simplifies my application security. I can control my application security through the database. Having the report stored in the database along with security logic also enables my application to show the user only the reports they've run...
Thanks,
Todd

Blob in classic report - broken images in translated application

Hello,
I have an application containing a classic report with a blob column displayed as inline images. The application's UI is translated and published (from en to de in my case) according to APEX docu. Everything seems to work fine so far but all classic reports with blobs show broken images in the translated application.
The report query is something like:
SELECT IMAGE_NAME,
        CATALOG_MIME,
        CATALOG_FILENAME,
        CATALOG_LAST_UPD,
        ID,
        dbms_lob.getlength(CATALOG_IMAGE) CATALOG_IMAGE
FROM    IMAGE imgThe images are displayed by using the format mask "IMAGE:....inline" on the CATALOG_IMAGE column and the generated image URLs (<img src="...">) look like this:
In primary language (App ID 251, working): http://server/pls/apex/apex_util.get_blob?s=724178467531162&a=251&c=6844840372320206&p=5305&k1=288447&k2=&ck=7475F2F4A0CFA99CC137C9F9008CE3F9&rt=CR
In translated app (App ID 151, broken images): http://server/pls/apex/apex_util.get_blob?s=724178467531162&a=251&c=6844840372320206,151&p=5305&k1=288447&k2=&ck=4576169EC6C9645C83E321610FE4BE6B&rt=CR
Also by entering the broken image URL directly the server says: "The requested URL /pls/apex/apex_util.get_blob was not found on this server."
Is this a bug in APEX (using 3.1.2), anyone else encountered this? Is there a solution or workaround?
Thanks for infos,
Stefan

Follow-up by myself:
I found a workaround for this by using the apex_util.get_blob_file_src function instead of declarative blob support. The code generated by this seems to work also in the translated application.
Btw, the original problem remains in APEX 3.2, as just tested at apex.oracle.com. I've made a test comparing declarative blob support to apex_util.get_blob_file_src in the sample application in my workspace (SMEINDL), application id 50912, page 3 (products). If anyone is interested, please have a look at it.
