Reports 6 web wizard -pdf output

Hi ,
I have created a pdf using the reports 6.x Web wizard.
I now want to run that pdf report from an Oracle form.
I have tried using run_products(reports, 'filename',etc)
but it fails "REP-0110: Unable to open file". The file does
exist in the correct path.
Any suggestions?

hey brian,
u will have to edit your registry settings and add a new string
value called forms60_repformat or forms50_repformat (depending
upon your version of form builder). put the value as 'pdf' for
this string. this should work.

XML Publisher Report not generating the PDF output.

Hi,
I am trying to develop a XML Publisher Report in R12 Vision Instance.
I have developed the rdf report and concurrent program with XML as output format. Ran the concurrent program and I got the XML output. Based on XML output I have created the rtf template. Using both the template and xml output I have created in Data Definition and Template in XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility. Now I am comming to the concurrent program and running the program, here instead of generating the PDF output it is generating again the XML output and concurrent program completing with warning status.
When I am trying to do the same in 11i Vision Instance, Concurrent Program completing with normal status and when trying to view the output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for the Processed Request".
Kindly please help me out in this issue.
Thanks,
Manasa.

Hi Mahesh,
Here the concurrent programs are not erroring out. It is completing with Warning status and when we click on View Output the output is coming in XML format instead of PDF, this is in R12 Vision Instance.
In 11i Vision Instance, concurrent program is completing with Normal Status but when we click on View Output it is saying "Unable to Publish output for specified request".
Thanks,

Report fonts mapping and PDF output problem(Easten European languages)

Hi experts,
I have such a problem.
If i run oracle reports(10g) via reports builder all layouts looks fine.
When i run them in PDF format via application server - report text and numbers strech out off frames, also textfields and text itself becomes bigger in size.
Aplication server runs over windows OS.
Uifont.ali file looks:
[ PDF:Subset ]
Arial..Italic.Bold.. = "Arialbi.ttf"
Arial...Bold.. = "Arialbd.ttf"
Arial..Italic... = "Ariali.ttf"
Arial..Plain... = "Arial.ttf"
Arial..... = "Arial.ttf"
"Times New Roman"...Bold.. = "TIMESBD.TTF"
"Times New Roman"..Italic... = "TIMESI.TTF"
"Times New Roman"..... = "TIMES.TTF"
I think the problem is with Lithuanian(baltic) letters in the text. If i do not map fonts in uifont.ali file i get PDF report without the
lithuanian alphabet letters, but in this case it looks fine(The same as in report builder)
After fonts mapping, i get my lithuanian alphabet letters, but text and numbers strech out off frames, changes the size and etc.
I put the example of my report uotput:
http://pirmas.50webs.com/index.html
What else can i do to solve this problem?
Thanks for any suggestions

For the html output issue , there is a patch available on top of 9021. Please contact your Oracle support representative to get a 90211 patch nd apply the one-off patch of Bug 2472932.
For PDF, please ensure that you are setting the NLS_LANG in the server config file using the dynamic environment switch feature introduced in 90 patch 1 (9021). Please see the patch 1 release notes for the details

PDF Output Not Displaying Turkish Characters

Hi,
We've configured BI 7.0 System with an Standalone Portal+BI Java System running both on SP11 Stack without problem.
For BI Web Reports, we're taking PDF Outputs and getting Turkish Character Problems. On the screen we can see everything correct, even Excel Export displays Turkish Characters without problem but PDF Export is wrong. I've checked the "<b>Note 1007116 - Form output in incorrect language</b>" but not sure whcih form to check? And also if this is the problem?
If anyone can help us, it'll be great

Hi Ade,
I tried all possible combinations of fetching the data. Writing a PL/SQL function and assigning the data to placeholder in before report trigger. Also, tried to use a query and then assign the data to placeholder through formula column. Directly assigining the database column on field without using placeholder.
While trying all the above options, I ensured that width is set to 4000 characters.
But all in vain. It works fine for 2000 characters but not able to print 4000 characters.

My Concurrent Program PDF output is in Russia instead of in English. Why?

I have selected Format as PDF and Style as "Landscape" and I am using English version as many others. Why am i getting Russian(or its some other language I really dont know that script) characters when I run the report?
I am using
RDBMS : 10.2.0.2.0
Oracle Applications : 11.5.10.2
Oracle Forms Version : 6.0.8.27.0
Application Object Library : 11.5.0
Please suggest me to get English font in my PDF output file.
I forgot to mention that I am able to see output in english when I run the report with Format as "Text".

Since your characterset is set to UTF8, generating any report in PDF format (with or without printing) is not supported. Oracle Reports 6i cannot generate PDF output with multi-byte characters. In Oracle Applications 11i with Oracle Reports 6i, PDF output is supported for only Latin-1 character sets such as US7ASCII, WE8ISO8859P1 or WE8MSWIN1252.
Under UTF8, generating PDF via the XML Publisher is supported and it can be done. Alterative workaround is to use another format like Postscript (Assuming that PASTA is already installed and configured).

PDF output not showing all 4000 characters

Hi,
I have a placeholder column of character data type and its width is 4000. When I execute the report and see it pdf output it shows only 1980 characters with last line characters going beyond the report margins.
Is there a way to display all 4000 characters?
Thanks,

Create PDF output from Web Layout Report

Is there a way I can create a PDF output from a Web Layout Report? (NOT from a Paper Layout). The reason I ask because editing on the .jsp Web Layout is very easy and flexible while editing on the Payer Layout is very difficult. Thanks.
- Todd

Hi Todd,
Please refer to this link:
paper layout & web layout
As for your second statement, it is a matter of opinion and I beg to differ that .... "Web Layout is very easy and flexible while editing on the Payer Layout is very difficult."

Web report in PDF output differently with different parameter string delimiter.

Hi guys.
Thanks for the two reply to my previous question regarding matrix report.
I have another question,
I invoke a report in web browser, so I put
http://web-server/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe?server=aquarium+report=salmon.rdf+userid=salmon/fish@seaworld+desformat=PDF+destype=cache+paramform=no+p_fishid="123"+p_exp="01-JAN-2002"+p_exp2="01-APR-2002"
The above results an empty PDF report output, i.e., no data.
But if I do this,
http://web-server/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe?server=aquarium+report=salmon.rdf+userid=salmon/fish@seaworld+desformat=PDF+destype=cache+paramform=no+p_fishid='123'+p_exp='01-JAN-2002'+p_exp2='01-APR-2002'
Then the report will work.
The ONLY difference, is that my parameters values for the first (error) URL I uses " and for the second (successful) I uses ' to delimit it.
This only happens when DESFORMAT=PDF, I tried using Text or HTML, both worked fine with both string delimiters (" and ').
Help.

Hi, thanks for answering.
But if I use double quotes, no data is shown in the PDF. Just an empty report format. Is there any work around this?
I am using Oracle Report 6i running on Windows NT 4 and Oracle 8i database.
Please advice.

Reports 6i and Web Wizard

Hi All,
I am developing reports for web using Report 6i. When I use web wizard to create html output (option - Generate HTML stylesheet output now). Everything fine except there is gap (10-12 blank lines) between pages.
I need your help in getting rid of these lines. What I need is continuous report.
Any help appreciated,
TIA,
Jitendra.

Hi,
I've you found a nice way to do a continuous report? If so, it would be nice to post it here.
The way I've found is far from being nice, but, well, it works.
I have three report
- the master
- the head report
- the body report
1:
The master report is an empty report. The only thing it does is produce some HTML code for a frameset (declared in the 'Before Form Value' of the report property palette). This frameset is built from the two other reports, the first being the head report (its corresponding frame being not resizable, with no scroll bar) and the second being the body report. That way, I have HTML code looking like :
<html>
<frameset rows="1*,19*">
<FRAME name="A" frameborder=0 noresize scrolling=no SRC="url of the head report">
<FRAME name="B" frameborder=0 SRC="url of the body report">
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
For the "sub-reports"' URL, I had trouble placing the desformat and destype parameter because Reports see &desformat as a lexical reference to the value of the desformat for the report being generated. So, bored, I finally used the 'run' shortcut of the cgicmd.dat file (search for that in the Reports manuals). I then ended up with URL like :
http://computer.server.com/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?run+param+param+param+param
where params are the usual rwcgi60 parameters needed to produce a report.
2:
The head report contains only the headers for the columns. There's no repeating frame or whatever. The text boilerplate objects of the headers are on the top of the report, the rest being empty.
3:
The body report has been modified so the body section of the report (the rectangle with thick black borders) fills completely the height of the report. Inside it, I've created a repeating frame, its height being a divider of the height of the report. What I mean is : my report is 11" high, so I've created a repeating frame 0.5" high. That way, there would be no space between pages.
And that's about it.
Well, I'm not sure this is a very viable solution, and I admit I don't really like this kind of hacking in a professionnal reports structure. But if beauty is not your primary concern, maybe this thing should help.
... but I haven't found yet out how to place the report footer... ;-)
Anyway, I hope all this can inspire you a little bit,
Frederic :-)

Using Reports6i to Publish Reports On The Web As PDF Format - Arabic Data

Hi everybody.
I am using Reports6i to create some reports and publish them on the web as PDF format for security reason. The problem is that the opened document displays Arabic letters in encrypted way, I tried to use Acrobat Reader version 5 but it is still not working. Then I try to publish reports as HTML document, In this way, the arabic letters look fine but any vertical lines I designed in the reports did not show up, furthermore, the user can edit HTML document, change the data, then print the report, so using HTML as an output is not secure.
Any suggestions?

Hello ,
You can try out the following
1. Click on the Report name and bring up the property palette to show all of the properties for the whole report.
2. Under Report Escapes->Before Form Value, change form method from POST to GET .
Thanks
