Reports 10.1.2 Services: Apply Stylesheet to default parameter form

Hello,
When we migrated from a Windows environment for our Reports10g Services to Linux, for some reports, the default parameter form generated from the browser (rwservlet) has prompts with font size 2 which is rather small for some users.
Is there a global setting at the Reports Services level where this is controlled? I want to avoid opening each report and changing font size on the parameter form.
Thanks,
Manish

Oracle Reports 10.1.2.3 output shows question marks, parameter form shows correct Arabic

Hi
Following is our environment
Oracle Application Server     10.1.2.3.0
Microsoft Windows 2003 Enterprise Edition Service Pack 2
Oracle Database 11.2.0.2.0
NLS_LANG     AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256
When client runs the report on browser (IE), the parameter form appears fine with Arabic characters.
Inserting the parameters in Arabic also look fine and characters display in Arabic but when report is generated, the output shows the inserted parameters as ????
On server, regional settings are ALL Arabic. Also the registry has NLS_LANG setting of AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256.
Report output is same for both html and pdf formats. For PDF subetting, uifont.ali file has been modified but the issue does not seem to be PDF related since the html format reports also shows ???
It is a 3 tier setup hence there is no question of having NLS_LANG registry settings for client PCs that are running Windows OS with Arabic regional settings that match the server.
Interestingly, the same report when run from a different application server having same architecture runs fine. The other application server has exact same version of OAS. Database supports Arabic and is configured as such.I tried comparing the different configuration files on both servers but apparently I cannot find the place where I should change something for the reports to show correct Arabic.
SELECT * FROM NLS_PARAMETERS
WHERE parameter IN ('NLS_CHARACTERSET','NLS_LANGUAGE');
NLS_LANGUAGE
AMERICAN
NLS_CHARACTERSET
AR8MSWIN1256
I am writing this after doing quite some research but seems like I am unable to find a solution to this.
Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you Paul for your reply.
I think you misunderstood me. I understand that it is all volunteer work and I never said I was looking for "quick" or "sure" response. I did not even use the words IMMEDIATE or URGENT in my post. I found it strange because I personally believe that there are many volunteers providing great support to others and yet my post somehow went unnoticed. In my personal opinion, however, if you do not wish to reply then you should just ignore rather than being rude. No one can force anyone to do the good work that people are doing here at oracle forums and they are all doing this out of choice. Let me also assure you that me and people like myself really appreciate their efforts.
Having said that, I wish you had taken time to read about my issue. There is infact a registry setting that specifies the NLS_LANG and it is already set under both Infrastructure and Middle Tier in the registry. I mentioned it earlier. The value is AMERICAN_AMERICA.AR8MSWIN1256 and I believe this is correct for Arabic characters.
What is confusing for me is the fact that if browser was not capable of showing Arabic characters then the static Arabic words in the reports layout (field name for instance) would also show as garbage or question marks. They appear to be fine. Since we are just passing some parameters in Arabic language and not saving anything in the database, the DB characterset does not come into play for now. Although the DB characterset is also set to store Arabic data. We are displaying the parameters that we are passing through the parameter form in the output of the report and this is where we see question marks (????).
Finally, if it was a browser issue or a DB characterset issue, then in my limited knowledge, I believe that the report that we are running using the other Application Server that is pointing to the same database should also show the same behaviour. That is not the case as it displays the same report perfectly. Client machine is the same in both cases using Windows 7 and IE as browser.
http://appserver1/reports/rwservlet?admin/myreport           (connecting to db1)    works fine
http://appserver2/reports/rwservlet?admin/myreport          (connecting to db1)     show question marks
Above URLs are examples. The point I am trying to make here is that the issue has to be with the new application server and it cannot be registry settings as I have double checked the entry and it exists in all Oracle Homes ie Infrastructure and Middle Tier. So maybe it is some configuration file setting that I am missing here.
Any help will be appreciated.

Report is taking too much time when running from parameter form

Dear All
I have developed report in oracle reports bulider 10g. while running it from report builder data is coming very fast.
But, If it is running from parameter form it is taking too much time to format report in PDF.
Please suggest any configuration or setting if anybody is having Idea.
Thanks

Hi,
The first thing to check is whether the query is running to completion in TOAD. By default, TOAD just selects the first 50 rows, where as Discoverer must return all the rows before displaying results if a crosstab report is used.
Secondly, check that the queries and the explain plans are the same in Discoverer and Toad. Although, Discoverer shows the SQL in the SQL inspector this isn't necessarily the SQL actually sent to the database. Use TOAD to interogate the Discoverer session to determine the actual SQL and compare this SQL and explain plan to SQL you ran in TOAD.
Thirdly, check that the session context is the same in both cases. So check that any custom contexts and the USER_ENV context is the same, and if any security packages or VPD policies are used in the SQL that these have been initialised the same.
If you still cannot determine the difference then trace both sessions.

Thanks for the tip.
Correct me if I am wrong but you have set up SLED SP1 connecting to an OS like (RHEL 4/OEL 4,SuSE 9) using VMWare Server. What OS is SLED?
I chose SUSE 10.3 as its free and I want to set up apps server for purely training purposes. Do you know of a free linux OS that is certified to run AS 10g 10.1.2.0.2?
Thanks

How to display Reports parameter form in Oracle Forms 10g.

hello,
am migrating from Forms 6i applications to Forms 10g.
one of my application contain report, that report display parameter form
I wrote below code for WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger
DECLARE
pl_id      ParamList;
v_report_id report_object;
v_report varchar2(100);
vjob_id varchar2(100);
vc_rep_status varchar2(100);
BEGIN
pl_id := create_parameter_list('my_list');
add_parameter (pl_id,'P_HOSPITAL_ID',text_PARAMETER,
:bm_hospitals.hospital_id);
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',text_PARAMETER,'NO');
v_report_id := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('bm_r001');
v_report := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT ( v_report_id,pl_id );
vjob_id := substr ( v_report, length(<reportservername>)+2,
length( v_report) );
vc_rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS (v_report);
IF vc_rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
     WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| vjob_id||
'?server=rep_mohahubkpcomp_ORaHOme_IAS'||'&userid=
bedman/bedman@bedman'||'&paramform=yes','_blank');
ELSE
     message ('Report failed with error message '||vc_rep_status);
END IF;
Destroy_Parameter_List(pl_id);
END;
The Above code is running report and displaying Output perfect but cannot
display the Parameter Form at runtime.
any help in this very thankful.
Regards
Gagan.

In Your code there is a line:
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',text_PARAMETER,'NO');
which actually disables the report parameter form.
The line:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| vjob_id||
'?server=rep_mohahubkpcomp_ORaHOme_IAS'||'&userid=
bedman/bedman@bedman'||'&paramform=yes','_blank');
displays the report to which vjob_id refers. At this point the report is competed so the parameters userid and paramform are useless.
Hope this helps.

Icons for the Reports missing in Workspace after applying patches

Hello Gurus,
I have installed 11.1.2.2 on one of my VM's and then applied the 11.1.2.2.300 patch on it.
I have followed the Read Me for all the patches before applying them.
After applying the patches however the icons for the Reports in workspace
[IMAGE ON THE FOLLOWING LINK]
http://i45.tinypic.com/29f6mc0.png
I have reconfigured web server at the end but that did not help. Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
HyperionEPM.

Hello Nick,
Yes all the components show green and I can access the reports without any issues. Its just the icon that does not show up.
I will check the logs you have mentioned to see if there are any exceptions in them.
But the issues started up after applying the patches for 11.1.2.2.
I have checked the location path mentioned in Weblogic.xml in raframework.war file and the path points to the correct folder location where the folders mt and mt_thumbnails are located.
Is the any other way out?
Should I delete the contents inside the tmp folder located in RAFramework0
or
Can reconfigurin Reporting and Analysis framework services help in resolving the issue?
Please let me know.
Thanks.

Report in HTML web service... unnecessarity tags added

My requirement is to generate a report in html format in sap and get it through a web service.
I need to invoke a sap web service which executes a report function and returns the report in HTML format.
I am using an RFC BAPI which uses WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT function to convert report to html.
The problem is when the RFC is returning xml data with the html extra data is also being sent which are not of UTF8 charset format but windows-1252 charset.
So I am unable to parse that xml.
The extra tags added are <LIST_PAGES>...</LIST_PAGES>, <HYPER_TAGS>...</HYPER_TAGS>, <XFORMAT_DESCRIPTION>...</XFORMAT_DESCRIPTION>. I think these are being added by WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT function.
I don't want these tags to be sent... how can I solve it.
I hope the question is clear... Please try to help me.
Thank you.

I managed to test the web service working from another APEX environment.
Then I created Form and Report on Web Service page but when I tried to Submit the page to get the report filled with web service, it gave me this error:
ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node

Report that uses web services as data source, prompts for database logon

I have a crystal report that uses web services as a data source. When I deploy the report to Infoview it prompts me for a database username and password. Since I am not using a database it should not prompt me for these. I tried various options in the CMC->database settings for this report but it still prompts me for the database logon info or tells me that the database logon information is incorrect.
The report work fine in the Crystal Reports Designer.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this report from prompting me for the database logon info ?
Thanks,

What options have you tried in the CMC?
Have you tried running the report in Crystal Reports installed directly on the Enterprise machine?

Deploying a custom reporting provider in Oracle Service Bus

Hi All,
I am new to OSB. From the reporting documentation I understand that we can register a custom reporting provider which will be called by the Report actions in the service bus. I have written a reporting handler which implements "com.bea.wli.reporting.ReportingDataHandler" and a listener class which extends "weblogic.application.ApplicationLifecycleListener" class. In the listener class I register my report handler class with the ReportingDataManager.
I understand that the listener class has to packaged and deployed in the WLS. Can someone help me explaining how this should be done.
I tried deploying it as a jar but my tests do not reveal that the Report action in OSB did call my report handler. I have followed the instructions as given in http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs90/programming/lifecycle.html yet I am not successful. I have also disabled the default JMS reporting provider.
What needs to be done after deploying the listener? How does the OSB make use of the new listener?
Any pointers in right direction will help me a lot.
Thanks,
Abarajithan.
Edited by: user5120225 on 27-May-2009 21:00

What needs to be done after deploying the listener? How does the OSB make use of the new listener?Did you enable reporting in your application/OSB? operational settings for the proxy contains check box (in sbconsole) Reports which should be enabled
and also we have to put reporting action in our pipeline. Is the reporting provider not receiving events/reports even after this ?
thanks

How to call an Oracle Report from a Self Service HR page.

Hi,
I am trying to call an Oracle Report from a Self Service HR page. I personalized the page to add a button and link the report's URL to that button; but I am having issues passing/manipulating parameters to this report.
Is there a better approach to do this, please post your suggestions. Also If you can direct me to some usefull documentation that will be great.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Hilal

Tapash,
Thanks for reponding.
Here is the URL I am currently using :
https://gccss.glendale.edu:8001/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?server=rep60_crp3+userid=apps/pswd@crp3+report=/u07/oracle/crp3appl/gcccus/11.5.0/reports/US/GCC_ACCRUAL_BAL_0505.rdf+desformat=html+paramform=yes+destype=cache+p_accesscode=""
The p_accesscode is the parameter I need to pass to the Oracle report.
Currently, when I click the button, it invokes the above URL and takes me to the parameter form of the Oracle report and when I enter the Username, it runs the report and displays the desired output. But, what I need to achieve is, to pass the current user who has logged in behind the scene and to get rid of the parameter screen totally. Is this doable ? If yes, please help me !!!
Thanks

Report published as web service with parameters

hi,I have a problem in a report published as web service.indeed, the report has a parameter, a date.Client side I do this://I create the parameter ParameterFields paramFields = new ParameterFields(); ParameterField paramField = new ParameterField(); ParameterDiscreteValue paramDiscreteValue = new ParameterDiscreteValue(); paramField.Name = "date"; paramDiscreteValue.Value = "10/10/2006"; paramField.CurrentValues.Add(paramDiscreteValue); paramFields.Add(paramField);//I add the parameter into the crVievwer crystalReportViewer.ParameterFieldInfo = paramFields;//I call the web service to get data crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = "http://localhost/WebService/Rapport1Service.asmx"; Server Side :Now, I want to get back the parameter in the web service (in Rapport1Service.asmx, so server-side) to be able to call my storedprocedure with the good parameter, this one which was put on the client side (10/10/2006).I tried to do crystalReportViewer.ReportSource = "http://localhost/WebService/Rapport1Service.asmx?date=22/10/2006" on the client side but no way. i don't find a solution, is there any way to make this possible ?Moreover, i have one database for each user, so i need to pass the user name, password and account too..

I have found a solution.
I create a web service in which i return a dataset, filled with the data wanted.the web service take as parameter: the report name we want, the parameter(s), and the username and password (to check if the user has right to access to data.)After that, I fill the report, client side, with the datasen given. i don't know if it's the best solution but it works !

In firefox menu, services reads "no services apply" I am using mac 10.6.6.

I use the services menu for text clipping but now when I try to access this command, I get no services apply.
Any suggestions please?

Firefox just doesn't support services. It's very disappointing, but I've search for many many hours and couldn't find any plugin/hack/workaround to enable them. Finally I just went back to Safari.

As configuring the services like for example that of Forms and reports in Oracle 9iAs

Como configurar los servicios como por ejemplo el de Forms y reports en Oracle 9iAs para sistema operativo Solaris. Para que los reports y forms sean vistos en la WEB.

Jenny, for Forms and Reports configuration issues, you might try posting to the Oracle9i Forms forum:
Forms: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jsp?id=345390
Reports: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jsp?id=338539
These are actively monitored by product managers from those groups. If your question covers Web services with Forms and Reports, check out the viewlets showing how to make those aspects of Forms and Reports work at:
http://otn.oracle.com/tech/webservices/sample.html
We are planning on rolling out some new content and how to's specific to Oracle Reports and Web services probably the last week of July. The content is just been written, reviewed and recorded this week based on the examples you see in those viewlets.

Crystal Report as a Hosting Service

Post Author: Shahoo
CA Forum: General
Hi friends.
I have not much info about crystal report. Our company is a web hosting one, and a few of the clients of our windows hosting have requested us to include crystal report in our offered services. I like to know that is it common to do this?! Because I've heard that crystal report eats much resources and is some heavy. Also, our CP is Plesk.
So briefly, my questions are:1) is it safe to install crystal report in our plesk machine?
2) is there any lightweight solution? for example, different crystal report versions and choosing one of them...?
Thank you for any comments.

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately I do not see a radio button for Web Services. I've read that it should be there too. Could it be a missing plug-in or patch?
Here are screen shots of what I see when trying to connect to an XML. Any thoughts?
