Reports -- RDF or REP ????

Friends,
Could you pls throw some light on the two questions as mentioned below.
1) After you create a new report in Oracle Apps and after you have registered it in AOL in which directory do you save/store it ?
2) Do you register the REP or RDF version of the report in AOL ?
Do you save the REP or RDF version of the report in the folder/directory ?
With thanks,
Sujay G

MANY MANY THANKS KEN.

With thanks,
Sujay G 1) you save it in the $PRODUCT_TOP/reports directory associated with the application you registered in. e.g. $FND_TOP/reports
2. RDF (but I "think" either may work, concurrent mgr picks the faster one if available)

Report Builder RDF, XML, REP and Version Control

I'm looking to convert our existing RDF reports to XML format to better support version control and have a few questions.
- Are there any issues with converting these RDF files to XML and developing them going forward?
- When it's time to deploy to the server we'll convert them to RDF or REP. Any issues?
- This question was asked before, [Thread: Oracle Reports Builder - RDF vs XML|https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=721959], but that was over 3 years ago. Have the issues been resolved?
- Is anyone currently following the workflow I've outlined with success?

Hi Michael,
Per my understanding that you want to find a solution for version control when you design the report using the Report Builder 3.0, right?
As you know that Report Builder is a tool which can only work on one single file instead of a project , so the current version of Report Builder doesn't have these capabilities. You can submit a feature request about it on the Microsoft UserVoice site
here:
http://visualstudio.uservoice.com/forums/121579-visual-studio/category/53187-sql-bi-tools-srs-ssis-ssas-
Generally, visual Studio Team System and Visual Source Safe integrate with the Visual Studio/BIDS shell and third-party source control solutions like SVN managed from the file system play well with version control. So I would suggest you to consider use
them instead.
In conclusion, one possible workaround for you is that you can save all .rdl files in third part tool’s(TFS) workspace folder for version control purpose (check in, check out with the Windows Shell Extension), and you can use Report Builder to edit these
report files. Then use Report Builder to deploy the .rdl file to Report Server.
More details information about the version control for your reference:

REPORT with dynamic WHERE CLAUSE (run RDF or REP) ?

Hi:
When running a REPORT (myreport.rep) with dynamic where clause using a lexical parameter, I got this error:
REP-1439: Cannot compile .REP or .PLX file as it does not have source
If i run the report specifiying RDF extension (myreport.rdf) the report run successfully! Is this normal ?
If I specify RDF extension will Report Server COMPILE the report everytime I execute it ?
When using dynamic WHERE CLAUSE I will have to run RDF files instead of REP ?
I'm running Reports 9i under Linux, with IDS under Windows.

It sounds like you are building the .rep files on one platform (windows) and running them on another (linux). The reason that the .rdf file continues to work is that Reports recompiles the PL/SQL within the report when you move from one platform to another or change schemas. .rep files can't be re-compiled in this way so you need to ensure they are compiled successfully when converting them.
You need to convert from .rdf to .rep on the platform that you are intending to run on. Try running rwconverter on the linux platform with "compile_all=yes" to produce the .rep file and running that .rep file.

Reports 6i RDF to REP conversion problem

Hi Techies,
I am using reports builder 6i version.
I have couple of reports developed in RDF format and it is working fine in Oracle apps 11.5.10.
I converted the RDF to REP(using File->Administration->Compile) for some security reasons and moved this .REP to same Oracle Apps 11.5.10 Server but the program ends up with this below error.
REP-0002: Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file.
REP-1439: Can anyone plz help me in any other ways to convert RDF to REP which can work in 11.5.10.
Thanks,
Vinkum

Where are you testing this? From Reports Builder?
Or via the application that calls the report? If so, I think you may be running the old version. Did you copy the report to the correct location?
Maybe there is an old .rep version and now you are trying to run the new .rdf version? A compiled .rep takes preference over a .rdf.
Did you check the vertical elasticity property of the fields and frames?

Run 10g report (RDF) as a portlet ???

i have a report RDF on 10g developer i want to publish it in portal as a portlet, how can i make it?
thanx a lot in advance

Hi,
Once you add the report into the portlet then, you can use the page parameters.
If you click on the page properties you will come to know.
You have to define this parameter and the parameters will be passed in the URL, from the URL the parameter values are picked up by the report engine and based on the parameters you will get the values in the reports.

Exporting Queries from Developer Reports .rdf file

Is there a way I can extract the queries from the Developer Reports .rdf file.
We have the reports on a NT File server from where the users access the reports. We do not have the Report tables installed in the database.
We are using Developer Reports 3.0
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chegi Reddy

This isn't possible directly. You could use the conversion utility to convert the rdf files to rex files (textual representations), or XML files with the 9i release, and then parse these files to get the queries. Note that since rex is considered an 'internal' representation there's no documentation on the structure, but it shouldn't be too difficult to figure out where the queries are.
Hope this helps,
Danny

The problem is with initial values of your lexical parameters. They should be so that even before obtaining their desired values in the trigger, they would create syntactically correct SQL returning as many columns and of appropriate types, as you expect the final SQL to produce. You can not manipulate the number and types of columns using lexical parameters, just the real mapping to the table columns. The number, the type, and the order of selected columns should be defined by initial values of lexical parameters.

REP-1057: ' PATH_TO_REPORT/report.rdf' is not a valid Report Builder file.

Current Level : Report Builder 6.0.8.27.0
We migrated custom reports build on Report 2.5 to 6.0.8.27.0 on apps/db version
from 11.0.3 / 8.0.5 to 11.5.10.2/9.2.0.6. Platform was moved from HPUX to Redhat
Linux 4.
When we open migrated reports then original reports get converted and compiled
by Report Builder 6 without any problem. But once saved and when modified some
of the reports get corrupted and have 'REP-1057' error.
Anyone had any similar problem and found solution?
Thanks

I have a .rdf file. When I try to open the same in Report Builder for 6i, nothing happens! It just does not open!
I tried to convert the report into .REX from unix - I get the following error
REP-1057: 'FAIAPXINROH.rdf' is not a valid Report Builder file.
But, the report is running fine from Oracle apps.
I need to open this .rdf to change somethings.
Any suggestions?

Report Compilation Error REP-1430 on Linux

All the other report can convert into .rep
but there are 1 reports gives this error in the .tex file
Conversion of CL3198.rdf canceled
Inside the cmd it says
REP-1430: A REP file for report CL3198.rdf cannot be created: compilation errors found.
When i compile the report in the Report Builder 6i (ctrl + shift + K) it compiled successfully. I'm using the same schema in both Report Builder and cmd.
How can i resolve this? Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Similar issue here. It happens with just a few reports. I can compile them on reports builder, but not using rwconverter.sh I am using 11.1.2.
