Reports Printing Slow

Hi,
I have a Forms5.0 and Reports3.0 and Developer/2000 Reports server3.0 in a Client-Server Articture.
My Question is: when I print a report(1 page),
the reports server taking too much time to print and it is sitting for the long time9 sometime 12 hours to print 1 report).
I can see the report job in the Report Queue Manager under current Job.
Can anybody tell me, why it is taking too much time to print the job ? Do i need to change any config settings ? or Where I have to look for this problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
You should test to use :
traceopts=trace_prf tracefile=emp_tr.txt
in order to generate an output like :
Total Elapsed Time: 8.00 seconds
Reports Time: 7.00 seconds (87.50% of TOTAL)
ORACLE Time: 1.00 seconds (12.50% of TOTAL)
UPI: 0.00 seconds
SQL: 1.00 seconds
TOTAL CPU Time used by process: N/A

Flash 10 Prints slow

My C# program uses AxShockwaveFlashObjects.AxShockwaveFlash to run SWF files.
The SWF file has code inside it to print a report.
Everything was fine in Flash 9.
But when some computers are upgraded to Flash 10 the print jobs are slow.
the Flash 10 print slowness is caused by the print job size going from 512 KB to 128 MB in size.
In most cases I can't uninstall Flash 10 because other apps need Flash 10.
Is there a way to speed up the print jobs or reduce the size of the print job in Flash 10?
Note: only some computers have the problem.
It happens on XP, Vista, Win 7

Hi, I wouldn't think the chip would matter, since Flash Player is a browser plugin. An ActiveX Control Installed in IE and a SWF for the non-IE browsers. Flash files are Installed into the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash for all browsers and they work with those aforementioned add ons.
What may be affecting your performance is the hardware acceleration that is turned on by default. You can turn it off and see if there is an improvement. You can use this Adobe test site and when you see the Adobe Flash logo, Right click on it and Settings, Display Settings. UN check the box. Also while you are there the site will tell you what version of Flash Player you have Installed. You can do this for each browser.
Without checking I don't know what chip I have, but I use XP/SP3/IE6/Flash Player vs 10.1.82.76 and have no problem.
I know there are many XP's out there and MS is doing there best to have everyone to upgrade:-) Also, IE9 I hear is coming out of beta on 9/9/10, Win8 is being prepared and the last day to buy a new XP, I think is October this year. Forgot the date. IE9 will only be available for Vista and Win7.
You can also read about the H.A. here:

Report Printing - Excel error

Hi all,
I'm not sure what's causing this error.
With a regular report (not Interactive) region, I have enabled the report printing. All file types open/save correctly except for Excel.
When opening the file, Microsoft Excel actually pops up this error:
File cannot be opened because:
The server did not understand the request, or the request was invalid.
Error processing resource 'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhmtl1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd'.
Line 3, Position 57.
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">If I save the file and try to open it, Excel pops up this error:
This XML file cannot be opened because of an error. Check to make sure the file is a valid XML file, and that the XML syntax is correct.
You can also try re-creating the file and closing other applications before you attempt to open it again.Excel version is Excel 2002 SP3 (v10.x).
Some additional info that might be helpful:
When Excel is opening, the status bar shows it is "Opening HTML.XLA", the shows "Opening {filename}.xls" but fails halfway through that.
Any ideas?
Chris

How can I fix this. This is coming from the System template and we havent change anything.
Could you please help me.
Thanks
Sanjaya

Hi
I solved the problem. But the issue was when i ran the dunning wizard the layouts messed up. For example if I had a dunning letter with 3 lines (overdue documents). The last line would copy itself 4-6 times (it would show the last document 4-6times so the total lines in the dunning letter would be 7-9 lines). But I solve the issue. Somehow the attention person (which I got from the contact persons (ocrp) and not from the document contact person (oinv) ) did the issue. When i switch it to the oinv the issue was gone.
kind regards

How to suppress extra form feed for character report printing using ORARRP?

Dear All,
We are using Oracle Application Server 10g (10.1.2.0.2) on Windows 2003 Server and most of our client PC's are Windows XP Professional machines. We are migrating our existing oracle application from 2-tier architecture to 3-tier architecture (6i to 10g). We have installed ORARRP utility for remote direct printing and to a limited extent we are successfull in getting the things work out for our system users, However, we are facing a problem using the ORARRP utility for which we are not able to find a solution till date.
We have configured ORARRP utility on every user's PC and the printing of bitmap reports is working well. However, while printing CHARACTER reports using ORARRP utility, after the report gets printed, an EXTRA FORM FEED is issued by ORARRP to the printer and because of this the printer stationary skips one extra page and advances to the next page. Please note that this EXTRA FORM FEED happens only while printing a CHARACTER REPORT.
Has anyone come across such a problem using ORARRP ? How can we avoid this extra FORM FEED from CHARACTER REPORT printing using ORARRP ? Is there any other tool which supports remote direct printing just like ORARRP?
I shall be highly obliged if anyone could reply to my queries ASAP.
Regards,
KrishnaKumar S

Please help ! I tried the "send_form_feed" and "postscript_dos_print" parameters without success. The extra form feed is always there. Thanks.

Report for slow moving material.

Hi friends
I want to create report for slow & fast moving materials..
I have to add following fields in the report
Material, Unit of Measure, Current Stock, Value, Last consumption date, Last movement date...
Now I dont have all these fields toghether in any of the datasources..
What I need to do? Should I create new Datasource with all these fileds..
Has anyone done this kind of report before?
Please suggest..
Regards
Swati

Hello,
For slow moving materials , use can use InfoSet to design the same.The infoset will have 0Material on the left hand side and the DSO which holds the transcation data.
or
u can install the standard content 'slow moving material' query and multiprovider 0ic_mc01.
You can get some help from there.
or
try searching in forums with the messgae "slow moving items".you will get useful info.

what was your solution?

Report printing on continous stationery.

Hi!,
I am having a problem with report printing, say if a report is of tabular type and say extands upto 5 pages , I have left some spacing in header section for Company name & logo. It is all okay while running the report on the screen, but while printing the first page comes proper, then on the second page the distance to be left at top reduces and correspondingly goes on reducing on the forthcoming pages and son on., untill it moves to the preceeding page.
My mailid is [email protected]

Report Printing: APEX 4.01 - APEX Listener - WebLogic 10.3.3

We have some report printing issues...
Our configuration is APEX 4.01 using the APEX Listener with WebLogic 10.3.3.
The first issue is that under "Print Attributes" the following is listed in red under "Printing":
"Report printing is currently not available, there is no print server configured."
The second one is that we need to print pdf format and I have not found a solution for doing this with the APEX Listener and WebLogic. I saw that the FOP solution for the APEX Listener didn't make it into the current release... Is there any way to do pdf type reports with the current APEX listener technology?
The third issue is that in the demo app when running a report there is a "Error loading file:" type error with "FLOW_FLASH_CHART" and apex_util.flash as part of the url.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks!
- Scott

I deployed in WebLogic the fop.war that came with APEX 4.0.1 and it got rid of the error message, but when I tried to download a report as pdf, I got an error saying it was corrupted or invalid. I downloaded the file it produced and opened it in a text editor. It was a small html type file with the following URL:
ORA-20001: The printing engine could not be reached because either the URL specified is incorrect or a proxy URL needs to be specified.
When I go to the URL that I think it should be going to based on what I put into Instance settings> Report Printing, I get:

Report printing failed with "Servlet error: An exception occurred. "

Hi,
I use Apex 3.1 in Oracle Express edition develop few applications. In one of the application, when I enable report printing in stardard reports and try to print to PDF/Excel, the servlet error occur.
I had configured FOP in my server and I can download PDF in "interative report", but for stardard report, the report printing failed.
I can successfully print the reports in my others applications. Anyone know what could be the reason which cause an application failed to print the report.
Thanks
Vincent

Does your application name have special characters? I heard that the app name has to be just letters and numbers for this to work...actually testing right now.

Oracle Report Performance Slow

I have a report which extracting the data from few complex queries and most of the tables that this report using are large tables.
The problem I'm facing is the entire application become very very slow/hang whenever this report being runned.
I have index all the necessary fields and process the report using those indexed field but still can't help.
Is there anyway to improve the performance? Will it help if I combine all the queries into one query?
How about the Database? any configurations can be set?
Regards,
Cheong

The execution of the query doesn't depend on Reports, it is done in the database. So, check your query using the normal performance tuning tools.
If just your report is slow (i.e. not the query) it could be because you have extensive formatting in your report. Formatting is done by Reports, not by the database. Try to do as much formatting in the query.

Hi
The font size depends on the format you've choosen for the print.
The abap list arranges the page as grid: colunmXrow.
Every colunm of a page means a character.
If you use the standard format X_65_200, it means you're page is arranged for 65 row and 200 colunm:
that means the size of a character is optimized to can print 200 chararcter in a A4 page.
If you use the standard format X_65_132 it means you're page is arranged for 65 row and132 colunm:
that means the size of a character is optimized to can print 132 chararcter in a A4 page.
So that mean the size of format X_65_132 will be bigger than X_65_200, because in the same space (page A4) it needs to write 132 char instead of 200.
If your report print NN char, u should use the format wiith number colunm is closer to NN.
If there isn't a format or u use the first available format or u create a new one by trx SPAD.
