Reports 6I and Oracle 8i(8.1.6.0) for solaris

I have downloaded Reports 6i for solaris.
When I install it a ( Curses ) based GUI.
Comes on . After installing it. Oracle
stops working ? whats wrong ? it installs
its own NET8 driver which I believe is
causing the problem.
null

The Net8 Configuration Assistant allows you to add databases into a file called tnsnames.ora. Do not manually edit this file or you will not be able to une Net8 Configuration Assistant unless you delete tnsnames.ora.
it asks me if i want to use a directory service?? please advise me what this is for and should i use it
saying no is ok.
if i say no it then asks me to pick 81, or 8 i picked 8i
8i is the correct answer here
then it asks me to enter the service name?? i dont have a clue what it means
the service name (also know as SID in 8.0) is the name of your database.
then select protocol for database you want to access?? again i have no idea
The common protocol for Oracle is TCP/IP
then a host name??
the host name (is the name of your computer or another computer you want to connect to with an Oracle database running on it).
1. To find the name of your computer, click START>SETTINGS>CONTROL PANEL
2. Open the Network Icon
3. Select the Identification tab
4. The name of your computer is listed
Good Luck,
Michael

Can't download Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition for Solaris 32 bit??

I can't download Oracle 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition for Solaris 32 bit. After filling out the form with the questions...I click on the actual link, but the box never pops up. The status bar on my Internet Explorer slowly increases, but never allows me to download. It just hangs. I have tried multiple times, and I can download other verions from your site...and have many times in the past. Could you please fix this. Thanks.

I've looked at it and it seems fine. It might have been a temporary glitch - let us know if you continue to have trouble.

Hi-
You can use below manual installation proceeds as follows :
Step 1. Download a setup for Windows and run it on a Windows machine.
Step 2. Once the setup is finished, FTP all the following files and folders from your Windows machine to you Sun Solaris server :
the entire 'bin' folder (excepting the '.bat' files) - ASCII transfer mode
the entire 'lib' folder - BINARY transfer mode
the entire 'drivers' folder - BINARY transfer mode
Step 3. Once you have transferred all the files, do not forget to configure the odiparams.sh file according to your environment. Also add the appropriate files, used by ODI to connect to your technologies, to the 'drivers' folder.
Does it helpful?
Thanks,

How to add a new font into Report Builder and Oracle Forms/Reports Server?

Hi,
I've searched the forum and can't find this being discussed.
My developers run Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2 on their XP laptops.
Their reports run (in production) on Oracle Forms/Reports Server 10.1.2.0.2.
This server runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
They've got a client who wants reports using the "Garamond Western" font.
So....how do I get this font onto the developer's Report Builder laptops, and onto the Oracle Forms/Reports Server?
I've moved various 'Garamond' fonts into C:\WINDOWS\FONTS on both the laptops and the server, but neither seem to recognize it.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks.
This answers 1/2 of my question.
The developer can now use Report Builder on his laptop, with the new fonts.
But when he moves this new Report to the Oracle Application Server/Forms-Reports Server, it fails to use the new fonts.
The Oracle App Server/Forms-Report Server is Version 10.1.2.0.2. It runs on MS Windows 2003, SP2.
I have installed the exact same fonts on this server, into C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
I have used REGEDIT to change REPORTS_PATH....and placed C:\WINDOWS\Fonts; as the first value in this field.
I have then stopped and restarted the Forms-Reports Server.

Calling a Crystal Report from and Oracle Form6i

I am attempting to call a crystal report from within an oracl form. I would appreciate documentation/suggestions on how to accomplish this task.
Thanks
NBranson

HI Nicole,
I have used crystal reports from oracle forms in one of my project. Send a mail to this address, i ll reply you back with the source code. My email address is [email protected] .
But if you just want to know the steps here it is :
STEPS TO display the Crystal Report in Oracle Forms :
1. Create a new form.
2. Create a control block, name it 'CONTROL'.
3. Create a CONTENT canvas, name it 'REPCAN'.
4. Create an ActiveX control on the canvas, name it 'CrystalReport1'.
5. Create a Image item , name it 'REP'. Make sure that image item overlaps the ActiveX control completely, this image item is used to get the item handle. Enlarge this object such a way that it will fit the window, the report gets displayed in this item so the item size should be adeqately large.
6. Right click on the ActiveX control item, select Insert Object from the menu.
7. From the list select Crystal Reprot Control.
8. Select the Progrm=> Import OLE Library Interface Menu in the form.
9. Select Crystal.CrystalReport from the List, this will list two methods and one Event . The two methods are CrystalCtrl and IRowCursor, the event is CrystalReprotEvent.
10. Select all the three and click on the OK button to accept. This will create the program units.
11. In the When-New-Form-Instance trigger of the form write the following code.
Declare
     charWinHandle varchar2(50);
     numWinHandle Number;
Begin
     Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'BUSY');
     charWinHandle := Get_Item_Property('Control.Rep',Window_Handle);
     numWinHandle := To_Number(charWinHandle);
     :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.CrystalReport.WindowParentHandle := numWinHandle;
     :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.CrystalReport.WindowState := 2;
     :item('CONTROL.CRYSTALREPORT1').OCX.Crystal.CrystalReport.Connect := 'DSN=;UID='||Get_Application_Property(UserName)||';pwd='||Get_Application_Property(password)||';dsq=;';
     Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName (:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface,'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt');
     Set_Window_Property(Forms_Mdi_Window,Window_State,Maximize);
     Set_Window_Property('MAIN',Window_State,Maximize);
     :reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
     numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport(:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface);
     Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'DEFAULT');
End;
One thing to mark here is the, change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName (:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface,'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt');
12. If you want to run multiple reports then create a parameter and pass the file name to the form through the parameter. In the above line of code, you can replace the file name with parameter, so each time the form is called with different parameter with the file name , it displays different reports.
13 Run the Form.

Oracle 9,2.0 32 bit for Solaris can not access more than 4GB?

I am sorry to ask rather stupid question.
I joined company which has big SUN Fire running Solaris 9 64bit version.
It has system memory 16GB and 8 CPUs.
I found 8GB memory reported as free. It is production box. It is heavy loaded.
I guess Kernel parameter settings for Oracle set too low.
I reported DBA and asked DBA to improve.
My DBA said Oracle 32 bit version was installed and Oracle 32bit can't access more than 4GB system memory.
Is it true that Oracle 9.2.0 32bit for Solaris can not access more than 4GB memory?
32bit CPU and 32bit OS might have problem in access big memory.
But I never heard Oracle 9 running on 64bit Solaris box can not access more than 4GB.
Specially on Sparc 64bit chip and Solaris 9 64bit version.
I searched forums and could not find good answer. I believe it is rather obvious.
Please help me on this. I will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I was really surprised by the fact that almighty
ORACLE can not access 4GB memory.
So, it is true that 32bit Oracle is limited by 4GB RAM.Nope. 32bit almighty anything is limited to (max) 2^32 virtual adresses on a vmm system.
Often there is also some split where memory is divided into system and user areas, where user (program) has e.g. 2 or 3GB. All this works regardless of amount of RAM available 0.5 or 512GB.
Perhaps this link provides some useful info/background.

Requesting Oracle Db Client 9i or 10g for Solaris

Dear friends
What is the name in "combo box" in metalink when i open an SR that identifies "Oracle Client for Solaris".
i dont know what it is. Please you could help me?
thanks
cesar.

I believe Oracle don't have CD that only have Oracle client for Solaris.
They only have client only CD for Windows. To install Oracle client for Solaris you need to use Oracle server CD/DVD, which usually come with a combo box with all kinds of other products as well.

Reports 6i and Oracle 8.1.6

I installed just the oracle report server 6i on a box that had
the oracle 8.1.6 client installed. The report server came pon
line, but after install the Oracle ODBC driver "disappeared"
from the ODBC driver list in the ODBC manager and the Microsoft
driver broke. I reinstalled the latest 8.1.6 ODBC driver from
the Oracle site and now the drivers work but Report server is
failing with an 186 error. I haven't modified the TNSnames.ora
file and all of the entries (including the reports entry) are in
there. Does anyone have any ideas about what is going on?

Insure you have placed a block with items on the form to be displayed.

Trouble with MSSQL Reporting Services and Oracle: PLS-00553: character set

First off, Oracle version is 8.1.7.4.0. SQL is 64bit 2005 on Windows 2003 with all the latest patches. We’re using the Oracle 10.2 client on the SQL box.
A few months ago queries against Oracle stopped working on our MSSQL reporting services server - after a service pack on this same system.
I ended up having to grant permissions on Oracle directories to eliminate the first error and then renamed the NLS_LANG registry entry (effectively deleting it) to get rid of the second error.
The second error was: ORA-12705: Cannot access NLS data files or invalid environment specified. I don’t have docs on the first error, but it was a reference to a file access problem. Looking at this error again makes me think that I still have some file access problems.
The old value for the NLS_LANG registry key was: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
Everything has been working fine since then.
Now we are moving some new reports into production which use Oracle stored procedures and they are getting this error:
--- End of inner exception stack trace ---
w3wp!processing!8!7/27/2009-09:26:09:: e ERROR: An exception has occurred in data source 'CSUD3_RPTAPL'. Details: Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException: Query execution failed for data set 'MYDATASET'. ---> System.Data.OracleClient.OracleException: ORA-06550: line 1, column 57:
PLS-00553: character set name is not recognized
ORA-06550: line 0, column 0:
PL/SQL: Compilation unit analysis terminated
I've created a test package as below, which has also gotten the same error.
create or replace
PACKAGE BODY SQLTEST AS
PROCEDURE OPEN_CURSOR (ResultCursor OUT T_CURSOR,
SQLTESTIN IN VARCHAR
AS
l_query varchar2(3000);
BEGIN
l_query := 'Hi there';
open ResultCursor for select l_query "field1" from dual;
END OPEN_CURSOR;
END SQLTEST;
I tried setting the NLS_Lang value back to its old value, but it did not fix this problem – and made all the regular oracle queries break again.
From what I've read, the client should be using the database default if the charset is not specified on the client.
Can anyone advise on what the problem might be?
Thanks!
Sam Greene

With all due respects I can not think of a worse reporting tool than MS Reporting Services.
Give serious consideration to getting a real report writing tool from Oracle or SAP (Business Objects / Crystal).
Reporting Services is one nightmare after another.

Where do I download Oracle ESB 10.1.3.4 for solaris sparc?

Hi,
Where can I download Oracle SOA Suite ESB 10.1.3.4(only ESB, BPEL is not required).
I could find the following link:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/101310.html
which has Oracle Enterprise Bus 10g (10.1.3.1.0). What is the patch number for upgrading this to 10.1.3.4?
I believe we get latest Oracle Apps and database adapters out of box with ESB 10.1.3.4. If not please suggest me where I can get these.
Also I need an SAP adapter which is not given by default with ESB 10.1.3.4. Please suggest me where I can download this from and how I install it.
Please give me the links for downloading
Oracle SOA ESB
version - 10.1.3.4
Operating system: Solaris Sparc
Adapters: SAP, Oracle Apps and database.
Thanks.

Thanks Marc.
I was not able to find the patch on metalink. Could you please give me the patch number specific to only ESB 10.1.3.4 if you have.
I have the 10.1.3.4 patch number(7272722) for the complete SOA suite.

Is Oracle 11.1.0.7 client for solaris relaesed or not?

Just want to know if 11.1.0.7 client for solaris is releaseed or not. I only can find 11.1.0.6 client for solaris on OTN download site. I plan to upgrade my server to 11.1.0.7.
Thanks

11.1.0.7 is a patchset,not complete software. As usual patchsets are available on metalink,not on OTN. You need a valid account.
