No other viable candidates have appeared.

Using AE(htmldb 2.0) as for reporting tool for other oracle databases.

Maybe I was mistaken, but when I first saw the HTMLDB demo's I saw this as a slick way to build a browser based reporting tool for the masses for quasi-ad-hoc reporting on some of our larger databases that currently have limited reporting capability, and also as a possible replacement for the many MSAccess applets we have.
I just got 2.0 installed and working on a 9i database and went through the basic tutorials, but I can't find much info on how to connect to other oracle databases.
Are my options as follows?:
create dblinks from the local database that houses htmldb to all the other databases?
or
install htmldb schemas on each database I want to access from htmldb?
or
I'll keep looking, but if any of you have any pointers or know of a tutorial that explains the best way to do this it would be greatly appreciated!
tia

As for question 1, yep, that's what I mean. Example:
In a schema in the App Express instance, create a user called "APP1_USER", and then
create view app1_user.people as select * from people@link_user@remotedb
As for the next question, using the built-in insert/update/delete processes will give you
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
among other errors. Apparently version 2.1 will fix this. See Cannot Update VARCHAR column in Remote DB
We address this problem by creating pl/sql APIs for DML, and then writing our own insert/update processes. Slows us down a little, but even with that, App Express remains a productive choice for us.
Another weird problem: auto-row fetch (built-in to HTML DB) doesn't work over db links when you have two columns for a primary key. Many ways around this, e.g. create sequence-populated primary key, create a view with single column that concatenates primary key column values (key1|key2)
Hope this helps!

CM Tool for Forte

Hello all,
We are in the process of evaluating software Configuration
Management tool, named Perforce. We are exploring the possibility of using
it for Forte based projects too. Is anyone out there have currently using
this tool with Forte, or have any experience with the possibility of using
any CM tool with Forte development.
Any input in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Charu.

Text based configuration management
Scripts to export/import
Repository creation tools from frozen source set (taken out of CM)
And policies to force users to checkout a full plan (for locking reasons)
when having to change a single class.
There's still the issue where stuff is checked out in CM and as well
in the workshop => inconsistency risk
Cheers,
j-paul

Objet: Re: (forte-users) CM Tool for Forte
Hi,
Just Curious to know how everybody are maintaining different
versions of the
Forte project.
Forte itself provides us with the Team development and cross platform
development features. All we need is Version Controlling.
I presume we wont be maintaining different versions of each
"Forte Project"
in the Version Control.( A Project in Forte will definitely contain more
than 1 Forte Project). If we do this, we need to maintain a chart
of which
version of Forte Project works with another Forte Project and it is messy.
The other way is to baseline the Development Repository itself in the
Version Control. This works fine. But once the repository starts
growing, I
am not sure of the version control software handling GB sized files.
Any IDEAS?
Thanx
Krishna

[Reports]   The best reporting tool for JDeveloper 10g

Hi,
Which is the best reporting tool for JDeveloper 10g: JasperReports, Crystal Reports or something else? I want to build parametric and rather complex reports but I don't know which tool offers more features, flexibility, ease of use , ... . I've built some simple parametric reports using JasperReports and JDeveloper 10g but I think it's not so productive and may need something more, maybe iReport. Does anyone have any ideas?
S/\EE|)

Hi Saeed,
I'lm using Jasper too, and here is an example of how i pass to it some variables:
     <parameter name="theWantedId" isForPrompting="false" class="java.lang.Integer"/>
     <queryString><![CDATA[SELECT field1, field2 from table1 WHERE table1.field1 = $P!{theWantedId}]]></queryString>And in a bean (or other java code from which the template is called)
        Map parameters= new HashMap();
        parameters.put("theWantedId", findSelectedId()); // return the ID of the object to print
        JasperDesign design =
            JRXmlLoader.load(myTemplate); // First load template from the Blob table in an inputstream
        JasperReport report =
            JasperCompileManager.compileReport(design);
        InitialContext initialContext = new InitialContext();
        DataSource ds = (DataSource)initialContext.lookup("java:comp/env/jdbc/MYDATASOURCEConnectionDS");
        Connection conn = ds.getConnection();
        JasperPrint print =
            JasperFillManager.fillReport(report, parameters, conn);Hope that can help, if you need more information please ask,
Best regards,

Reporting Tools for Hyper-V 2008 R2

Are there any documenting or reporting tools for Hyper-V 2008 R2? I just need to get a list of all VM guest running and their associated VHD files along with where those VHD's are stored.
Thanks!
Kristopher Turner | Not the brightest bulb but by far not the dimmest bulb.

Sam,
Thanks, we are at the start of an upgrade from 2008 R2 to 2012 R2. Just needed an easier way to pull information about the current environment like what location each VHD for each VM is located and if there are any snap shots saved, etc.
Just planning ahead to help make the migration easier. The current environment is a mixture of CSV's and direct LUN's. So it should be interesting when we start our migration planning.
Noticed you are from the King of Prussia area? Just spent a few weeks over at the Hilton Garden Inn at Valley Forge.

Report tool for OWB

Can we use cognos as a reporting tool for Oracle warehouse builder?
Prasath.

There are two answers to this depending on what your question:
1) Can I use Cognos to write reports against the OWB repository? Yes you can. There are a series of public tables that expose the key elements of the OWB repository covering, configuration, metadata, data quality, and deployment.
For data quality there is an Application Express sample bundled with OWB that provides a starting point for data quality reporting.
For more information see the following link on the OWB OTN home page:
Oracle Warehouse Builder 10gR2 and Metadata Reporting
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/pdf/OWB10gR2%20and%20Metadata%20Reporting.pdf
2) Can I register Cognos reports within OWB to benefit from OWBs metadata impact analysis features? Yes. You can extend the Warehouse Builder repository to cover additional objects such as Cognos reports and their content to provide a complete front to back, back to front impact analysis environment.
For more information see the following link on the OWB OTN home page:

ALD API and ALD (Advanced Layout Designer) as a reporting tool for AddOns

Dear all,
as per SMP "ISVs and VARs can integrate combit's List & Label functionality into any SAP Business One Add-on without additional combit license fees", so am i right it means that LnL (ALD) has an API which allows to manipulate it right from SBO AddOn?
and yes, according to the combit site (e.g., http://www.combit.net/en/page1077.aspx?action=display&articleid=KBTE000662) this really has API.
so the questions are:
1. does anybody has any expierence with ALD as a reporting tool for the SBO AddOns (ALD API expierence)?
2. does anybody has any samples (how to call ALD API from AddOn)?
3. are there any elearning materials at the SMP regarding ALD API usage from the AddOns?
4. is ALD API available for the SAP 2005 SP01 as well as SAP 2007 versions?
please comment on this with your point of views and some attitude
thank you and kind regards,
A.

Hi Alexey,
I've got ALD running at sites (2005A SP1).
1) ALD is certainly more powerful than PLD in terms of presentation and formulas. The only limitation I came across was that you can only have 1 data table in a report (unlike other report writers like Crystal or Reporting Services). Also, working with special lines and serial/batch data in marketing documents is overly complex in my opinion.
2) There were some samples attached to SAP Notes. I'm afraid my samples would be useless because you'd have to have the same UDFs and my reports are quite site specific.
3) I've never seen ALD learning material from SAP but there was a decent enough manual that came with the addon.
4) Not sure. I think you'll need to ask Combit directly.
Pros:
a) I particularly like the sound of the API although I haven't had a chance to look at it yet
b) Some nice built in features like labels and the ability to create layouts for user queries (...PLD is capable of doing this, just not very well )
c) Software is part of 2007A (ie no additional license fee)
d) Integrated with SBO
Cons:
a) The integration is not perfect (eg if you use the SBO Mailer then report attachments still use the PLD layout and not ALD).
b) A bit buggy at times (although this was on an early 2005A version)
c) Formulas use a C++ type syntax which can be confusing for those not used to it though there is a formula builder to help out.
d) No reports built in. SAP/Combit should be considering having all marketing documents and maybe some other key reports built in as standard.
All things considered, ALD is worth looking at if PLD is not up to the job.
Hope that helps,
Owen

Reporting tools for the Business user - Crystal reports or BEx tools ?

Hi,
We have recently implemented BI/BO infrastructure. Scope of the inital implementation was an executive dashboard based off COPA data. We have used Xelcisus for dashboard and BEx tools for query design etc.
We would like to set up some of our key business users (analysts in respective functions) to be able to write their own queries off this COPA cube. The discussion point is whether to roll out Crystal reports for business users or have them trained on BEx tools i.e BEx query designer/analyzer.
Any inputs to my question "Crystal Reports or BEx tools for the Business users - pros and cons", is appreciated.
Thanks,
Girish

Our user currently do not have anything. It's fresh implementation. We would like to get the business users involved. The question is - what's the best start for a business user - Crystal Reports or Bex ?

Searching for a Reporting Tool for Oracle 11g

Hello,
I have created several OLAP-Cubes with the Analytic Workspace 11.1.0.7.0B on the Oracle Database 11g. Now I need a Tool for Creating some Reporting. I have Oracle BI Spreadsheet Add-In Version 10.1.2.3 for Microsoft Excel. I have installed it and I have a Connection to the Database. But on the Query-Assistent, I can't see my Measures and Dimensions. I guess it is because of the Version.
My Questions are:
- Is there any BI Spreadsheet in Version 11?
- Is there any other Reporting-Possibility with another Tool for Oracle 11g? I couldn't find anything yet.
I am very happy, if there is anyone who can answer my questions.

I have no knowledge of BI publisher but if you install OBIEE then you will have option to install BI publisher also. You can download OBIEE from here.
After installation you can look at following post to see the set up required to access olap cubes.

RE: Test automation tools for Forte applications

Mark,
There is a basic automated testing program already

AutoTest.Pex. It records events and can replay them.
It can be a bit tricky and is a bit basic, but
may have some of the functionality that you want.
This is specifically for window / widget testing.

Reporting and Report tools for CCM

Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me some suggestions on reporting in CCM. To be a little more specific; for example if a few users complain they are tryin to make outbound calls, and getting a busy signal, is there any reporting tool that I can use to pinpoint the problem or eventually be able to say, hey we need another phone line, etc...
Also. User calls can complains that the calls they are making lack in quality, how do I report on this or research?

In order to determine if there are any records in the Structured Query Language (SQL) database, complete these steps:
Choose Start > Programs > SQL > Enterprise Manager > Microsoft SQL Servers > SQL Server Group.
Choose Publisher Server > Databases.
Choose CDR > Tables. Right-click the CallDetailRecord table.
Choose Open Table > Return All Rows. Determine if there are any records.
If many records appear, complete this procedure to remove records from ART:
Choose Programs > SQL Server > Query Analyzer. Log in and choose ART database.
Run these queries:
delete from Tbl_Load_History
delete from Tbl_Dump_PkID
delete from Tbl_Error_Id_Map
delete from Tbl_Billing_Data
delete from Tbl_Billing_Error
delete from Tbl_Dump_CallDetailRecord
delete from Tbl_Dump_CallDetailRecordDiagnostic
This forces ART to get all the old CDRs into ART in the next scheduled loading time. By default, CDR data is loaded every day from midnight to 5 a.m.
Restart the CDR Insert and DBL Monitor Services from CCM Administration > Application >Cisco CCM Serviceability >Tools > Control Center.
Refer to the How can I manually purge the ART database? section of CallManager Issue Resolution with CDR and ART FAQ for more information.
Note: Information deletes from the ART database but not from the CDR.
Note: If you do not see any records, there are no CDR entries for that time and date range. Determine if conditions are met for CDR generation. CDR records are generated in these circumstances:
The service parameters CdrEnabled and CallDiagnosticsEnabled are set to True.
The call is established and has a talk duration greater than 0.
The call fails and has a cause code that reflects the error.
In order to set the service parameters, choose Service > Service Parameters, and make sure that the service parameters CdrEnabled and CallDiagnosticsEnabled are set to True in all of the Cisco CallManager servers, both publisher and subscriber.

Reporting Tools for Flex

Does anyone know of Reporting Tools that integrate with Flex
2.0 that display reports in PDF, HTML, FlashPaper, or other
formats. Does someone from Adobe have some ideas on ths

ColdFusion, assuming you're using it, has an excellent report
engine. The report builder is also a free download. It supports
each of the formats you've described and reports can be invoked
from your Flex app with a simple link to a web page containing the
"cfr" file (or a variety of other ways).
Allegedly, if you need to do more complex reporting (multiple
nested sub-reports, for example), an enterprise class tool like
Crystal might be more appropriate. I find Crystal a bit cumbersome
and it will be FAR more expensive than CF's report builder. I've
used the CF report writer since its release (about two years
now???) and I've yet to encounter a reporting requirement it
couldn't handle. Sure it misbehaves sometimes and is a little
buggy, but I think it gets a lot of bad press it doesn't deserve.
And you can't beat the price if you're a CF user!
Thanks,
M. McConnell

Reporting tools for VS2012 Express missing

Hello,
I am just about at my wits end here. I am wondering what I am doing wrong with this. I am trying to use the Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll to create simple reports in my Windows Forms application. I have SQL Server 2012 installed, and have just installed
SQL Data Tools for Visual Studio which are no use at all. I have also installed the microsoft report viewer 2012 runtime and acquired version 11 report viewer. I can get the report viewer on my form in designer, however the "Design new report" doesnt
do a damn thing. I am also missing the "Templates" tab when trying to add a new item, as well as all reporting items, therefore I cant create an rdlc file. I just want to know why these things arent in my visual studio, and how to get them in asap.
Below is the image of the add new item dialog, with the absence of the reporting items. (Which I cant post yet because I am not verified).
My options look like this
<Installed>
   <Visual C# Items>
      <Code>
      <Data>
      <General>
      <Windows Forms>
      <WPF>
<Online>
Having worked with these before and it being simple I assumed it would be this time but I've spent the best part of 6 hours installing things to no avail.
Any help is much appreciated as I am very close to a deadline.

You mean a tool that will allow you to output your report results in a fancier format, right??
yes, something like that.
APEX already is a reporting tool. To get a free print engine, there is FOP (do NOT know if it runs under glassfish), JasperReports (again, No idea if it runs under glassfish)..
thanks. i will check on this. i did find a thread were someone said they got it working with jasperreports but there wasn't much info on it. i'll keep searching for more info.
The company will atleast be using a paid for version of database, right? If so, then they have rights to the OHS... (Oracle's Application Server)..
this company is an outsourcing company that outsources oracle developers. they have a licensed oracle database 10 enterprise edition but i think it's a development license. if it's ok to use that then the better. otherwise it will be oracle xe for now.
initially i will propose the use of all these free open source tools. and inform them that being free means limitations. then if they demand something more, then that's the time i will inform them about alternatives like bi publisher. eventually they'll need to upgrade to at least standard edition of the database if data volume grows.
Get your mind out of the gutter! Grab mine while you're there, please.
hope is good. who knows, maybe someone out there may have already found a good tool or may be someone is building one. or maybe oracle will get a big heart and maybe create a lite version of bi publisher for free of use or they can add a lite version of bi publisher for the oracle database 11g xe edition. ( probably asking too much from oracle =)

allen
