Reports which generate Excel output do not open under ie8/Oracle Forms

Hello,
we run Oracle Forms (regardless whether under Jinitiator 1.3.1.22(28) or SUN JVM) and generate Excel output with Oracle Reports (web.show_document). This works well under Internet Explorer 6 (ie6) but not under Internet Explorer 8 (ie8).
The effect ist that a new browser window opens and closes very quickly without anything further happening.
I honestly assume that this has not to do with oracle reports but ask this nevertheless in this forum as there might be people which made the same experiences...
I additionally found out that the same problem exists when gerenating excel or ms word output via a db procedure (with http. modules). There I found that suppressing the question (open/save/cancel) before opening a file (via the windows explorer file type association menu) helped with excel and ms word output (but this might be regarded as a not satisfying workaround).
The problem persists with other applications' file types than XLS or DOC which are also correctly registered on the client.
I'm not sure whether mimetypes sent along with the files (which were obviously correct with ie6) play a role in this problem.

Hello,
Your problem with IE 8 seems to be similar to the one discussed here :
IE7 windows opened and closed immediatly

t_Explorer/Q_23304982.html
You can test the solution suggested :
We have found the setting that we needed, under the Internet Options
Security tab, if you select the internet zone, and click the custom level
button, then scroll down to the Downloads section, the first option is
Automatic prompting for file downloads, setting this to enable keeps IE 7
from interfering with this sort of download.

Hi,
Here's the code for generating the excel output, you can write this in button press of form which calls the excel report.It automatically opens a new excel sheet , and then it executes the SQL query, after that each rows will get filled with the values.
First of all you need to makeall the queries in the report in to a single query.
declare
     application CLIENT_OLE2.obj_type;
     workbooks CLIENT_OLE2.obj_type;
     workbook CLIENT_OLE2.obj_type;
     worksheets CLIENT_OLE2.obj_type;
     worksheet CLIENT_OLE2.obj_type;
     cell CLIENT_OLE2.obj_type;
     args CLIENT_OLE2.list_type;
     rowcount integer;
     i integer;
     cursor c2 is select 1 from dual;
     cursor c1 is /* write your select query that fetches the required values */
begin
application := CLIENT_OLE2.create_obj('Excel.Application');
CLIENT_OLE2.set_property(application,'Visible','True');
workbooks := CLIENT_OLE2.get_obj_property (application,'Workbooks');
workbook := CLIENT_OLE2.invoke_obj(workbooks,'Add');
worksheets := CLIENT_OLE2.get_obj_property (workbook,'Worksheets');
worksheet := CLIENT_OLE2.invoke_obj(worksheets,'Add');
rowcount := 0;i:=1;
for rec1 in c2 loop
rowcount := rowcount + 1;
-- For the headings
args := CLIENT_OLE2.create_arglist;
CLIENT_OLE2.add_arg(args,rowcount);
CLIENT_OLE2.add_arg(args,1);
cell := CLIENT_OLE2.get_obj_property(worksheet,'Cells',args);
CLIENT_OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
CLIENT_OLE2.set_property(cell,'Value','Column 1 Heading');
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(cell);

CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(cell);
end loop;
for rec1 in c1 loop
rowcount := rowcount + 1;
args := CLIENT_OLE2.create_arglist;
CLIENT_OLE2.add_arg(args,rowcount);
CLIENT_OLE2.add_arg(args,1);
cell := CLIENT_OLE2.get_obj_property(worksheet,'Cells',args);
CLIENT_OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
CLIENT_OLE2.set_property(cell,'Value',rec1.field1);

CLIENT_OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
IF rec1.field2 IS NOT NULL THEN
CLIENT_OLE2.set_property(cell,'Value',rec1.field2);
ELSE
     CLIENT_OLE2.set_property(cell,'Value',' ');
END IF;
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(cell);
end loop;
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(worksheet);
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(worksheets);
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(workbook);
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(workbooks);
CLIENT_OLE2.release_obj(application);

Problems in generating excel output

Hi all,
I'm facing a problem submitting a report with XML output (XML Publisher 5.0.1). I created a RTF template in order to generate an excel output but when I launch the concurrent, its status after few minutes becomes "Warning" logging java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. The strangest thing is that the PDF output generates normally without errors or warnings.
I've found on metalink a note in which they suggest to create a configuration file (xdo.cfg) where i've declared a temporary folder in order to split the XML in two parts to allow the XDO to create correctly my excel output....but it didnt work! :(
After that I added to my concurrent execution options the string "-Xmx512m" to increase the memory for that particular task (even if i think that 128 mb for a XML file of 5 MB are more than necessary)... but no results (in this case i've had another error "java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/app/oracle//admin/out//o2260792.out (No such file or directory)" ).
Can someone help me??
Is it a normal behaviour?? It seems to be a joke, cause in metalink they suggest everybody to apply patches and patches!!
Thx all

Hi Nisha,
Refer to that link.....May be it will helpful for you....
Are You All Able to get the Output In EXCEL Format
Otherwise you can do one thing......Add one more Viewer option for XML type data... Most probably earlier For viewing the XML data you are using Browser... So by default whenever you are trying to see the output it is opening it in Browser....
Now add one more Viewer option For XML as Microsoft Excel......
So After making two viewer option for XML data whenever you will try to see the output of XML data it will ask you...Viewing option...1.Browser 2. Excel
Choose Excel here it will not give you any error and you will be able to open the output in Excel format.....

Hi Vetsrini,
We're on 10.1.3.4.1 and siebel 8.1.1.3 and when trying to open a report from within siebel in the output format EXCEL (selected from the parameter applet), it just opens the document in the browser.
Is there a way to get it to open directly in Excel? I guess the reason is the file extension*.EXCEL, how could we get the extension to be in excel format (xls)?
We don't want our users to have to do this themself.

Excel output for the xml publisher report when it is [b]scheduled [/b]

How to get the excel output for the xml publisher report when it is scheduled by a apps user? Like what is the user profile option (for the apps user who runs the report) and what are the other things that needs to be taken care of so that only this xml publisher report run by this apps user produces a EXCEL output (When scheduled) ???
Really appreciate it if any one can help me in this regards.
Thanks
Munna

Hi Munna,
For eBusiness Suite (apps user) the report output is stored the same way whether executed immediately or scheduled.,To get excel set the options > output format to Excel. Only the user that submitted the report can view it, or you can get the output file from the server. Or you can set the notify option so that a Workflow Notification is sent when the request completes.

Generate txt output using a program unit in web report (OAS 10g)

Hi Everyone.
I have a c/s report (6i) which generates a txt file in a program unit using TEXT_IO package. I need to move this report to web (Reports 10g) and publishing it in OAS 10g. I've done that (without the text file generation), I can see the report on the browser in PDF Format and works fine... but, I still have a problem... when I use Text_io package, the c/s version of the report in 10g runs an generates the output.txt file but when I move it to web I got an error in the before report trigger (in which I invoke the program unit sp_generate_txt)
I looked around for a solution and I just find the usage of webutil package, but as you know, webutil package is only usable in Forms.
Any Ideas on how can I solve this problem?

Hello,
TEXT_IO can be used in Reports deployed on the web.
The difference with Client /Server is the fact that the file create by TEXT_IO will be created on the "Middle Tier Server" and not on the Client.

You could use the java-library barbecue to generate an image from your number and then include that image in your report.

Easiest and/or best methods for generating XML output (not with a report)

Hi, several of our EBS customers (11.5.10) are converting their PDF reports to use XML/BI publisher to produce output. The data stream comes from a report that generates the XML output, and then the XML template is applied. This works great ... no problems, etc. From what I have read, however, Oracle intends to treat the traditional Forms and Reports Developers as legacy tools (although still supporting them, of course).
My question is if I wanted to ditch using Reports to generate XML output, what, in your opinion or in your current usage, is the easiest way of getting this data? In Reports, the data modeler is excellent in providing a method to write your queries, split them into different repeating groups, write formula and summary columns, link multiple queries, etc, etc. If one were to become Reports Developer free, what comparable tools are available to take its place? I would expect this tool to handle a mix of GUI and coding like the Reports data modeler. Please note that I'm not looking for an EBS-specific solution -- say for a custom application using regular Oracle 10g DB and iAS, with BI Publisher for reporting.
Thanks for your feedback,
Ryan

What I'm looking for is to not use Oracle Reports to generate the XML data output since Oracle's statement of direction is pushing BI Publisher rather than Oracle Reports as the preferred tool for reporting. That said, the data modeler in Reports provides a very flexible tool to construct and link multiple queries and to manipulate the queries into several levels of a master/detail relationship. Further, the mix of GUI and coding makes setting up the data model a lot more efficient. What I'm looking for (and I don't know if anything exists) is something comparable that can be used to generate XML output from the DB -- the idea being that I wouldn't use legacy tools, like Reports, for this task. I hope that is clearer.
Really, another way of answering my question is, aside from Reports and the APIs mentioned so far, what are my fellow developers using, if anything, to extract XML data in a way that handles the features i list above?

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.
