Reports Generation in Microsoft Excel using Forms Server

How can I generate reports in Microsoft Excel from an web-enabled forms application, as using Dynamic Data Exchange invokes Excel on the Application Server? My work-around was to generate the file on the application server, save it ,exit the Excel application and then display the excel document using Web.Show_Document. Though this method is successful, the processing time is very high.

You need to close Exel when before your VI is running. Excel can not have two instances running at the same time.

Report Generation Toolkit, Print Excel Report, LabVIEW Crash

Hello,
when printing a report generated with the report generation toolkit for excel my build application crashes on our customers PC.
When I run this application on my PC it works fine.
The problem is the active X invoke node that trys to print the report but i cant get any error messages to find out where to locate the problem.
Maybe that there is a problem with the active X node or the Excel Version on the customers PC?
I use LabVIEW 2010 and Excel 2007 the customer has Excel 2003 SP 3.
I changed the report to generate it in Word where the Print_Report.vi fine on both PCs. But in Word Report there is called another active X invoke node to print the Report. So it seems for me that there really is a problem with the Print in Excel active X invoke node.
Mybe someon can help me in finding out whats the problem.
Greetings Daniel.
Solved!

Hi Daniel,
your behavior has been reported by others. For example:
Application Build Failure on Excel.Print Report call
http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Application-Build-Failure-on-Excel-Print-Report-call/m-p/1563242
Problem posted: 05-17-2011 02:19 PM
Workaround posted: 06-01-2011 and later
So their workaround was to use Excel 2007 or 2010 instead of 2003. Is this working for your customer?

Problem for Report Generation Toolkit for excel 2000

Hi all,
Now I am Developing my program with Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.0 and Labview 7.1.
In my computer I am using Excel XP, and there is not any problem. But when I build to
a exe file, and use in a computer with Excel 2000, it didn't work.
And I try to check the source file in this computer, I found that there any some connection
error. And this is caused by the active X class. As I know Excel 2000 is using Microsoft Excel
Object Library 9.0, but i cannot find it in the list of active x. So it is using Microsoft Excel Object
Library with a very old verison. So in the property node there are missing functions, such as the
UsedRange in _Worksheet in the Excel_Get_Range.vi. However, In VBA, I can find the 9.0 Library.
Is it the problem of 9.0 library? How can I solve the problem? How can I upgrade the library to 10.0?
Thanks.
Regard,
Ryan

Hi Mike,
Since my program is for all the staff in office, everyone may use it.
I cannot call the whole office to upgrade the excel to XP.
And I think Report Generation Toolkit is alway support Excel 2000,
since the old version of it is not support for Excel XP.
Regard,
Ryan

Report Generation Toolkit with Excel 2003 and Excel 2000

Hello,
I'm using the Report Generation Toolkit to generate an Excel report from an Excel template.
The "NI_Excel.lvclass" is included in the "source" section of the application builder options.
I create an exe file on a PC where Excel 2003 is installed. On a Notebook, where only Excel 2000 is installed, the application crashes at the generation of the report:
I guess the problem is the different version of Excel but I don't know. On the developer PC with Excel 2003 it works fine.
In this document it's only talked about different Word versions.
How can I use the Report Generation Toolkit here?
I'm using it that way:
Regards

Oh, it seems that the Report Generation Toolkit "only" supports Excel XP/2003/2007.
I think, that's the problem.

Report generation toolkit with excel 97 Graphing issue

I am trying to set-up mu data output to use the report generation Vis. However I am running into a problem when trying to update 2 graphs on the same sheet in Excel.
My set-up is:
Windows XP
Office 97
LabVIEW 7.1.1 with the Office toolkit installed
I noticed that I can write to the first Graph and update it without issues, but once I try to update the second I get error -41105 stating that MSGraph is not installed.
I did notice that if I set a break point between the Excel Quit Graph.vi and Excel Update Graph.vi if I click the mouse within excel in removes the highlight border from the first graph, the I continue and it works fine. For some reason LabVIEW is not releasing that Graph to be able to select another.
I tried to write data to a cell after quiting the graph and then selecting the second graph but that is not working either although it does work manually.
Next I may try a Macro but I would rather not have to do that.
Any suggestions?

Well after some debugging I found it. Apparently for Excel 97 only there is a problem that when you qiut MSGraph it may not save properly so the VI had the Quit Property removed.
I have added it into my code and it seems to work and will see how well it does and if I run into any problems.

If you install the WorkFlow SDK, there is a document under Documentation that explains all the settings. This is a subset:
To add the Form Server Render Form component to your workflow:
1. Drag the Form Server Render Form component from the Components palette to your workflow.
2. Click the General tab. In the Name box, type a name to identify this component in your workflow.
3. (Optional) In the Description box, type the description of the component.
4. Click the Input tab. In the Form Query box, type the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) component (no
protocol or schema) of the form to be rendered. This URI is appended to the Content Root URI value to
form an absolute reference to the form. For example, type:
Forms/myForm.xdp
Forms/myForm.pdf
5. (Optional) In the Form Preference box, type the output format of the form. The default value is AUTO.
For details about form preferences, see Selecting a form preference on page 11.
6. (Optional) In the Options box, type the rendering options, such as locale or character set. Use an &
(ampersand) to separate the options. For example, type:
{$ TaggedPDF=false&PDFVersion=1.6&CharSet=UTF-8 $}
For details about rendering options, see Selecting rendering options on page 12.
7. (Optional) In the User Agent box, type the user agent that identifies the application that will be used to
display the form. The default value is Mozilla/3.x. This property specifies the HTTP header
User-Agent that provides information about the target device. A target device is a client application,
such as a web browser. This value takes precedence over what may exist in environment variables.
You can retrieve this value from the JSP/ASP environment.
8. If you have an application server that will incorporate services from LiveCycle Forms, in the
Application Web Root box, type the servers root location. This root location is combined with the
Target URL to form an absolute URL to access application-specific web content.
9. (Optional) In the Input XML Data box, type the location of the XML file that contains the information to
use to prepopulate the form. This data will be merged with the form during rendering. For example,
type:
C:\input.xml
Alternatively, you can use a form variable to retrieve data from a previous step in your workflow. Form
variables are primarily used to store the data from the forms submitted to LiveCycle Workflow Server.
The data can then be accessed at run time. For example, type the following expression:
serialize(/process_data/formVar/form-data/data/*,false)
The serialize function takes the data from the form variable. In this example, the formVar process
variable represents the Form data type. The false parameter encodes the data in UTF-8 in the XML
code. You can optionally set this value to true if you do not want UTF-8 encoding. For more
information about the Form data type, how it works with Adobe LiveCycle Form Manager, and its use in
a workflow process, see the Configuring Human Interaction chapter in Creating Workflows.
10. (Optional) In the TargetURL box, type the URL of the target device that will receive the posts from this
form. The target URL is inserted into the transformed output invoked during a Submit operation. For
example, type:
http://servername:8080/fm/processFormServlet?action=0
11. In the Content Root URI box, type the URI of the AppStore to specify the absolute reference to a
physical repository from which the content (forms, images, or scripts) will be retrieved. For example,
type:
file:///c:/forms
xappstore://hostname
This value is combined with the Form Query value to form the absolute path to the form to be
rendered.
Note: The Content Root URI is often constant across many user applications and can be set
administratively to a persistent value.
12. If you are using relative paths (such as ../images/graphic.jpg), in the Base URL box, type a base
URL to identify the HTTP equivalent of the Content Root URI. This URL is required for transformations
that include HREF references to external dependencies such as images or scripts. When a dependency
path is absolute, this parameter is ignored; otherwise, the dependency path is combined with the Base
URL. For example, type:
http://hostname/forms
13. If required by the server on which LiveCycle Forms is installed, in the User Name box, type a user name,
and, in the Password box, type a password. If the password is encrypted, it must be Base64 encrypted.
For more information, see Encrypting passwords on page 6.
14. Click the Output tab. In the Output Document box, click the ellipsis button, and then select the
variable that will receive the new document. The data type for this variable must be document.
15. In the Page Count box, click the ellipsis button, and then select the variable that will receive the page
count. The data type for this variable must be integer.
16. In the Page Number box, click the ellipsis button, and then select the variable that will receive the
page number. The data type for this variable must be integer.
17. Click OK.

A db procedure as an autonomous transaction may be

Hi,
To use the Webutil, you must sign the WEBUTIL.JAR and JACOB.JAR.
Using Jarsigner, you have to define the JDK Home and the Jinitiator home.
I used whe jdk version 1.4.2 and the Jinitiator version 1.3.1.17
Don't forget to apply this modification.
Insert the line
<virtual-directory virtual-path="/webutil" real-path="D:\Forms9i\forms90\webutil" />
in the file
$ORACLE_HOME$\j2ee\Oracle9iDS\application-deployments\forms\forms90web\orion-web.xml
Insert the line
AliasMatch ^/forms90/webutil/(..*) "D:\Forms9i\forms90\webutil/$1"
in the file
$ORACLE_HOME$/forms90/server/forms90.conf
Of course You have to replace D:\forms9i with your Oracle Home.

How use form server

i install form server
when i use run form web icon in object navigator
i see this error message:
FRM-18121: The JavaBean does not implement the IView interface.
Cause: For Forms to use this JavaBean, it must implement
Oracle Forms IView interface.
Action: Implement Oracle Forms oracle.forms.ui.IView
Interface.
i cant understand please help me.
regards
shoja.

If this is 6i it's because you have not installed the Forms server component. This might also happen if you are in a Windows platform such as Win95/98 that does not support the Forms Server - you need NT or 2000

Import from Excel and then again save back excel; using Form 6i in apps.??

Hi,
I need to do following ;
Unix OS :- here exel files is present
Forms:- Need to read those excel from unix system and if require modify it in the apps form itself and then validate those and then place it again in the unix system.
This need to implement in oracle apps. Any idea how to do?
Subir

No..!!!
The actual requirment is ;
there are files stored in the Unix OS.
Currently we need to validate and then transfer one by one.
During validation if any error is occur then user want to modify during validation only; he dont want to back to the excel file and modify.
So here; if validation failed, then need to open that excel files from oracle form and the modify the error, and then saved it.
Rg,
Subir
