Reports Developer doens't start / hangs

On my workstation (Win2k P4 with 512MB RAM) i have first installed Oracle9i db (Personal Edition) in oracle_home OraHome92.
Thereafter i installed Oracle9iDS Release 2 in a separate oracle home Oracle9iDS.
When installing Oracle products i have put IIS in manual mode.
Now when i launch from the menu:
Oracle9i Developer Suite -> Reports Developer -> Reports Builder the Oracle9i Reports Developer splash screen launches but remains there without
getting the application.
Anyone an idea what goes wrong here?
Thanks.
Guy

Hi Guy
Looks like the registery / system path in your setup is not proper. You can also try enabling the trace for Reports builder and see if you get some more information.
Otherwise try installing the iDS again.
Thanks

I'm desperate can somebody help me.

Hello,
On Windows, NLS_LANG can be set in the registry or as an
environment variable.
You can test with the commands :
set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
rwbuilder.exe
Then,if it works, change the NLS_LANG in the registry
(HKLM/Software/ORACLE/Homex)

Reports Developer Oracle 10g or 9i DS frozen when it is started up XP

Hello expert,
I can't start the Report Developer 9i or 10g after the OS is upgraded to XP. The startup screen is frozen and nothing happens. Please help.
By the way, where can I get a copy of the Query Builder? Or any similar product to replace the Query Builder in 8i?

Check how your local NLS_LANG parameter is set. I noticed last week that mine wasn't set to AMERICAN_AMERICA and the reports developer did not start. After setting it to American_america it started again.

Report Developer Control Of Applying Hints to Analytics Queries

There are numerous ways to apply hints to the queries generated by Analytics:
- Table level
- Join level
- Evaluate calculation
Each has its advantages and drawbacks.
- Table level: applies the hint to every query that references the table.
- Join level: applies the hint whenever the join is used in the query.
- Evaluate: allows the report developer to include a hint, but can't control where Analytics decides to apply the hint.
I propose another method for the report developer to apply hints, when needed, that uses join level hints. All the report developer
does is add the hint column to the Answer or add a filter based on the hint column to the Answer to apply the hint.
Setup
NOTE: I suggest you do consistency checks along the way, especially before starting work in the next Layer, to be sure that all setup errors are resolved early.
1) Start by defining a Logical SQL table in the Physical Layer using the following SQL: Select 1 Hint from dual
2) Alias this table for each hint to be defined for report developer usage. As an example, alias the hint table, creating
No Star and Parallel alias tables.
3) Join each alias to the physical layer fact tables, using a complex join, where the hint could be applied. In the Join definition screen, put the hint in the HINT field and enter 1=1 for
in the Expression section. Yes, we are creating a cartesian join between the hint and the other joining table. As the hint table always returns one and only one row, there
is no effect on the rows returned by the query. For No Star, you
put NO_STAR_TRANSFORMATION in the Hint field. For Parallel, you put PARALLEL(<physical table name>, default, default), where the physical table name
is the name of the actual database table, not the name of the alias table (Analytics will put the alias in the place of the database table name
when it generates the SQL). Additionally, for hints that have no parameters, you only need to join it
to the Fact tables in a query and not necessarily the dimensions. If you include fields from multiple fact tables, the hint will be applied
for each fact table. So, you may see the hint multiple times in the SQL (something like SELECT /*+ NO_STAR_TRANSFORMATION NO_STAR_TRANSFORMATION */ t00001.col1...)
4) Add the hint alias tables to the BMM Layer.
5) Rename the Hint field in each of the BMM hint tables to identify the hint being applied. For No Star, change the column name from Hint to No Star Hint. For Parallel,
change the column name from Hint to Parallel Hint.
6) Set the hint column as a key.
7) Join the BMM hint tables to the appropriate fact tables, using a complex join.
8) Define each hint table as a dimension.
9) Set the Logical Level in the Content tab in each of the sources of the joined tables to use the Detail of the hint dimension.
10) Create a folder in the Presentation Layer called Hints
11) Place each BMM hint field into the Presentation Layer Hints folder.
To apply a hint to your Answer, either add the Hint field to your Answer or create a filter where the Hint field is equal to/is in 1 (the number one). Check that the SQL generated
contains the hint, in Answers, go into Administration, Session Manager, and view the log for the user (the user log level will need to have been set to 7 to see the SQL generated).
Use of hints in more complex setups can be done by performing a setup of the hints that is parallel to the fact table setup. As an example, if you specify fragmentation content and a where
clause in your BMM for your fact tables, you would setup parallel physical layer hint tables and joins, BMM objects and joins, fragmentation content, and where clauses based on the
hint tables (only hint tables are referenced in the where clause).
As any database person knows, hints can either help or degrade the performance of queries. So, taking the SQL of the pre-hint Answer and figuring out which hints give the best
performance is suggested, prior to adding the hint fields/filters to the Answer.

조치 방법
=========
1. 이미 Listener 가 기동되어 있는지 확인한다.
$ ps -ef | grep tnslsnr
기동이 되어 있다면 lsnrctl Utility 로 종료시킨다.
$ lsnrctl stop
이때 정상적으로 종료가 되지 않는다면 kill 명령을 이용하여 Process 를

2. /etc/services 파일을 열어 listener 가 사용하는 Port 와 중복되게 지정된
항목이 있는지 확인한다.
3. Listener.ora 파일에 다음 파라미터가 설정되어 있는지 확인하기 바란다.
USE_CKPFILE_LISTENER = TRUE
위에서 listener.ora 의 Port 를 1522 로 변경했다 하더라도 위의 파라미터
가 지정되어 있다면 전혀 문제가 해결되지 않는다.
USE_CKPFILE_LISTENER = FALSE
로 변경한다. 위 파라미터로 생성된 Checkpoint 파일도 삭제한다.

이 파라미터는 Checkpoint 를 발생하도록 한다. 디폴트는 FALSE 이다.
TRUE 로 셋팅을 하면 마지막으로 Listener를 stop 했을때의 listener.ora
파일의 내용을 listener.ckp 파일에 그대로 paste 한다.
Listener 기동시 listener.ckp 파일과 listener.ora 파일을 비교하여
변경사항이 있으면 변경된 내용이 적용되어 기동되지 않는다.
4. Listener 를 재기동한다.
$ lsnrctl start
# TNS- 12542 에러의 메시지만을 보면 TNS:address already in use 로
나와 Server ip address 가 충돌이 나는 것으로 볼 수 있지만 ip
address 가 충돌이 난다면 Booting 시 이미 문제가 발생한다.
이것은 대부분 listener 의 Port 를 다른 프로세스나 OS 에서 이미
할당받아 사용하는 것으로 볼 수 있다. Listener 의 Port 를 변경하면
해결된다.
Listener 의 Port 를 변경할 수 없는 상황이라면 System Rebooting 을
하는 것도 한가지 방법이 될 수 있다.
System Rebooting 후에도 계속해서 발생한다면 다른 프로세스가 listener
의 Port 를 분명히 사용하고 있는 것이다. System 엔지니어와 상담하여
어느 프로세스인지 확인이 필요하다.

Errors posted by Salai Jayavelu can be caused by many different factors, and oversized listener.log is just one of them.
Among the others are inadequate jdbc connection pool configuration(if applicable),listener configuration,init.ora parameters-mainly memory related ones,
shared server configuration(if applicable), and so on...
In fact , TNS - 12518 is so generic message that if he had only those TNS messages in the log, i would be temptated to tell him to contact support.
But as we can see, Salai recevied multiple different TNS messages that could make his troubleshooting of the 'Listener Hang Issue' interesting enough to
share his findings with us when he finally find the root cause.
Good luck Salai and goodspeed.

Crystal Reports for Eclipse vs. Crystal Reports Developer

We are developing a Java web application for internal use. Since we have some people at the company who are familiar with Crystal Reports, we'd like to have them write reports that we can display through our application. Crystal Reports Server seems like overkill for this project, but the <a href="http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2/en/devsuite.htm#en/JRC_SDK/">JRC</a> sounded like a good fit.
I have been evaluating <a href="http://www.businessobjects.com/products/reporting/crystalreports/developer/default.asp">Crystal Reports Developer</a> and trying out the <a href="http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/FilesAndUpdates/crxi_r2_jrc_web_samples.zip.asp">JRC samples</a>. The samples don't use the tag library. Instead, they show how to set session variables and redirect to a viewer JSP which contains a bunch of Java code to use the CrystalReportViewer.
The samples are so much more complex than the code created by Crystal Reports for Eclipse, which simply uses the tag library:
<%@ taglib uri="/crystal-tags-reportviewer.tld" prefix="crviewer" %>
<crviewer:viewer reportSourceType="reportingComponent" viewerName="myreport-viewer" reportSourceVar="myreport" isOwnPage="true">
<crviewer:report reportName="myreport.rpt" />
</crviewer:viewer>
I assume that I should be able to use the same tag library approach without using Crystal Reports for Eclipse, but I haven't seen any tutorials on it. I'm trying to understand whether I should purchase Crystal Reports for Eclipse instead of Crystal Reports Developer.
This is the difference, as I understand it:
Crystal Reports Developer gives you the stand-alone Crystal Reports Designer and the right to run the JRC on an internal server. It costs <a href="http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjects/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.40434600">$595</a>.
Crystal Reports for Eclipse Standard provides a free report designer built into Eclipse. It also includes the JRC for use on an internal server.
Crystal Reports for Eclipse Professional provides "a more powerful runtime engine" with the right to run it on one internal server. It costs <a href="http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjects/DisplayProductDetailsPage/productID.52068100">$495</a>. Is this the same JRC provided with Crystal Reports Developer?
If the "powerful" JRC is the same as Crystal Reports Developer's JRC, could I install Crystal Reports for Eclipse Standard to take advantage of the Eclipse integration and the built-in designer, but use the more powerful JRC from Crystal Reports Developer, which would also give me the stand-alone designer?

Hi there, If you are planning on deploying a JRC application then you should definitely be using Crystal Reports for Eclipse for your runtime engine. It is the latest version of the JRC and includes many updates not available in Crystal Reports Developer.As for "power" the JRC included in CR Developer is on par with the JRC available in the Basic edition of Crystal Reports for Eclipse. The Professional edition of Crystal Reports for Eclipse provides the most powerful version of the JRC available.With the release of Crystal Reports for Eclipse, Business Objects is setting the groundwork for separating Developer needs from the Report Author needs.A professional report author will require a professional report design tool. For these users we are recommending that they purchase Crystal Reports Professional.The developer, on the other hand, generally needs the SDKs and a toolkit to assist with building applications. We believe that these should be available at no cost to the developer, only charging when the application is deployed (in this case a CR4E Pro license). This is different from the current model with Crystal Reports Developer where we have combined a professional report designer plus the required runtime.So, to summarize, definitely use Crystal Reports for Eclipse for your application runtime and have your report authors puchase Crystal Reports Professional. If you need a more powerful engine, access to technical support or plan to deploy on multiple servers then I would recommend purchasing the Crystal Reports for Eclipse Professional license for your development purposes.As for some tutorials on creating viewer pages, the integration in Eclipse provides a very simple way of accomplishing this. I would suggest reading the section titled "Creating a New Viewer Page" in our Getting Started Guide found at the following URL:<a href="/node/320"> http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/320</a>Let me know if you have some follow-up questions.

Integerating Application developed by WebDB and Reports done by Reports Developer 6i

Dear,
I developed an application using WebDB 2.2 and for the shortage of WebDB to make my reports, I did it in Oracle Reports Developer. Would you tell me how can I integerate my reports with my application. Thanks

I had the same problem.
I resolve with a new third party tool:
RunDev
It creates an image of only runtime that you can start even from a shared disk.
I've found it on:

Developer Server 6.0 hanging when launched from Netscape 4.6

Hi, simple question to ask about OAS and Developer Server.
My Developer Server 6.0 hanging when launched from Netscape 4.61,
I am currently running...
Pentium PII 200Mz running NT sp5
Forms Server version 6.0.5.31.0 (Patch 3 applied)
OAS version 4.0.7.1.0 (Patch applied)
Jinitiator 1.1.7.18
Netscape 4.61 browser
I have all the latest versions of everything that is available,
I have followed the instructions.
I successfully connect to the OAS admin utility and have setup
all the virtual to physical directory mappings under the default
listener www. I successfully start all website OAS services.
I have Forms server successfully started up as a process
listening on port 9000.
I have two statics html files created:
a) with Jinititator 1.1.7.18
The very first time I connected to this static html file it
installed Jinitiator as expected. The Forms server splashscreen
then appears.
Jinitiator then starts up successfully, no errors appear in the
Java console. This has proved I am talking to the listener and
my virtual directory mappings are working.
At this point there is a lot of disk activity and then all
stops, the splashscreen remains and appears in the discussion
area:
FRM-9999 cannot access "koala.ilaco.gov.bo:9000" and
a series of java exceptions
I am pointing to the correct java directories (I think)
b) with out Jinitiator
When I try to call using URL with Netscape 4.61 I get a
message on the status bar saying...
Applet oracle.forms.engine.Main class oracle/forms/engine/Main
got a security violation: Method verification error
Can you help ?
If you know the answer, please let me know as soon as
posible.
Thanks for the answer....

I respond your email, with my actual server configuration my
problem is now: I get the splash screen and after form is hanged.
My server configuration is:
Compaq PC, with Pentium II, the software is:
- Windows NT, with Service Pack 5
- Oracle Application Server, v.4.0.7.1.0 Enterprice Edition,
pathset 1
- Developer Server v.6 patchset 3
- My browser in this machine is Netscape 4.61
- Jinitiator 1.1.7.18 is also used.
My developer server is installed and running on the same machine
that OAS is. I am using other browser in other machine (IE5)
and trying to connect to the OAS on the first machine.
My problems begin when I launch ifsrv60.exe. I copied
ifwcm60.dll v.6.0.5.0.2, and other files required in the %
ORACLE_HOME%\bin
I forced listener Developer Server Port (
c:\orant\bin\ifsrv60.exe -listen port=9000 )
Now, I can connect with this process, with the following line:
telnet koala 9000. The listener is working now.
I tried to work with my (NonCartride-static html)forms60 form on
WEB without Jinitiator, but I couldn't.
With Netscape, in the status bar: Applet
oracle.forms.engine.Main can3t stop ERROR
With IE5, I get the splash screen and after the forms is hanged.
If I use Jinitiator:
With Netscape, in the status bar: Oracle Jinitiato: applet
oracle.forms.engine.Main inited then form is hanged.
With IE5, I get the splash screen and after that, the screen
freezes and looks like the form is hanged.
Any further suggestions on this?

Reports Builder doesn't start in Windows 2000

Hi all,
i've installed Oracle Developer Suite 10g on Windows 2000 Pro (SP4). Installation procedure ends succesfully, but when i try to launch Reports Builder the process rwbuilder hangs up.
Someone can help me?
Thanks. Matteo.

Hi Jon, thank you for your support.
I've stopped my scan virus, but the process rwbuilder still hangs up...and my path name doesn't contains any spaces!
Other ideas?
I've installed Developer Suite 10g and Enterprise Manager 10g in the same machine, but in different Oracle Home and the only Reports Builder doesn't work...the other applications (SqlPlus, Forms Builder etc..) works fine!

Crystal Reports Developer XI installation appears complete, but is not

A client of ours has purchased Crystal Reports Developer XI, and we're having trouble getting the installation completed on their box.
Everything installs as normal (we installed this at other clients), and the box requests a reboot. After reboot, there is no indication that the install ever occurred, except for the new files in the "C:\Program Files\BusinessObjects" directory. There is nothing in Add/Remove programs for it, nor is there anything in the start menu that would indicate it was ever installed.
When attempting to re-install (which we've done 4 times now), the license key is already entered in for us, which to me means that the installation is at least partially talking to the registry, but never really finishing.
We're performing the installation using administrator logins. As I said, there are no errors indicating anything isn't working. The box is a Win Server 2k3 box with SP2.
TIA

If this is XIR1 of windows 2003 SP1 or later you probably want to enable Micorsoft DEP for windows only and reboot.
Also since you have a partial install on the HD you should delete the following registry keys hkey/localmachine/software/business objects and hkey/currentuser/software/businessobjects
Also delete the following directories C:\program files\business objects and C:\program files\common files\3.0
Then reinstall.
Regards,
Tim

Crystal Reports Developer

Greetings all,
I have recently purchased Crystal Reports developer version 11 and have made a number of reports.
I am having trouble with sharing reports to other employees of my company and would like your assistance.
What are the ways of allowing other users to view the report and also allow them to modify the parameters? eg I have created a report that gives the list of all of the active candidates for a company. There is a query before the report that is generated to ask the user the start date and end date.
I spoke with a number of people and they have suggested creating the report in "run-time" which I have no idea what it means.
Can someone please help me as I would like to share all these reports.
Your assistance is appreciated.

Simone,
There are several ways to make your reports available and usable to others.
Here are a few...
1) Export to PDF and email (users will not be able to alter any of the parameters... )
2) Install a CR viewer on each users machine. You can find a list of them here http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html
3) Crystal Reports Server (CRS) or Business Objects Enterprise (BOE).
4) Create a custom application.
With the CR Viewer, that application only allows to user to view the report but not enter in any parameters?
I enquired about crystal reports server but it came to roughly $8000 for the product which is quite expensive.
Is there a program that I can utilise that is a relative good price?

Report Developer 10g won't run

I wan't to run Report Developer, but when I start it only appears Reports logo: Oracle Reports Builder 10g and nothing else.
In the task manager there is the rwbuilder.exe.
What can I do?
please Help!!!!
Thanks in advance.
Regards

the other products had functioned normally. Only the Reports presented this behavior. <<u never know until u get to spefifics. Usually products are certified to run on specific jvm versions.
That means it is fully qa tested on that jvm.
It doesnt necessarily mean it wont run in previous jvm version, or that it will run for all cases for a previous jvm version.
