Reports Requirements using R12 and Oracle 10g Reports

Hi All,
Looking forward to some valuable inputs to propose a technical solution in R12 using 10g Reports Developer.
Requirements are :
1. Report output should be in Excel Format. ( Is this possible without XML Publisher using 10g Reports only )
2. Report Parameters to have multi selection criteria. ( Is this possible in 10g Reports and Oracle Apps, Report Manager responsibility ?)
Regards,
Anand

Yes, Reports can create output in Excel - but XML Publisher offers better and easier options.

Pl explain what you mean by multi selection criteria.

  • Business Objects Reports 4.1.6 and Oracle 10g

    Hi all,
    One of our clients has an oracle forms 6i application and Business Objects Reports 4.1.6 called from forms with host command. We are going to upgrade the forms application to 10g but would it be possible to integrate this old version of BO in Oracle 10g application (and Oracle 10g DB)
    Does it exist any official spreadsheet which explains the compatibility of BO and Oracle DB?
    Thank you in advance.
    Alex

    Options
    1 upgrade the reports to 10g
    2 Implement webutil and call the reports 4.1.6 using host

  • Migrating from Crystal Reports Charts using TopN and "Other" to Reporting Services

    I am currently migrating several Crystal Reports that have charts.  The chart series is set to use the TopN values in a count, and combine the rest of the series into one series titled "Other".  I see how to filter the chart using TopN, however I need to still show the rest of the data grouped as "Other".  I think the solution I need is to create a group expression that uses some sort of IIF function to create the "Other" group, but I haven't found a function that I can use to get the results I need.  Any ideas?
    Scott

    We were looking at report deployment options and evaluating SSRS vs Crystal Report Server.  There were several reasons we decided to go with SSRS:
    Cascading Parameters
    Ability to use multiple data sets in one report
    SSRS seemed more user-friendly than CRS
    There were a few other considerations I can remember now, but the final reason was price.  My company already had the licenses for SQL Server.  However, even if that was not a consideration I still would have gone with SSRS.
    Hope this info helps.

  • Not able to fetch updated data using jdbc and oracle 10g

    Whenever i m updating the data and fetching the same record after updating i m not able to get the fresh/new updated data , old record is fetched every time, but when i checked in database the record gets updated successfully , even if i fire the query two times after 10 seconds using Thread.sleep even then problem persist.
    Please help me out!!!!!!!!
    Implementation has been stucked up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(

    Well its okWhat is OK? Your stuff working now?
    i m doing the same thing Apparently not.
    please go thru the below code fragment:
    code for Update :::
    DataAccessBean1 partsHistoryDataAccessBean = new
    DataAccessBean1(context);
    partsHistoryDataAccessBean.setData(data);
    partsHistoryDataAccessBean.update();
    After Updating i m forwading it to the other servletForwarding what? Why do you need another servlet? Just do the query, put the new data into the response object, and return.
    According to your assumption i should get the updated
    data on the other screen but Nope, you don't understand what I'm saying.

  • Use css file in oracle 10g report builder

    hi every one
    i am using oracle 10g report buidler. i want control paramform by usign css file.
    any body have idea how can i use css file in oracle report builder 10g and how can i modify it's path and i how can i manage any css class on a perticular field.

    Thanks Billy.
    Yes you are right.
    Here why I discarded that option is,
    I may get the source files with changing layouts.
    My Actual scenario is as follows.
    Initially we developped all the things using PL/SQL packages. Its working fine.
    But as per the inputs we received from requirements group, the file structure changes dynamically. and we would able to consider those new columns also. We should be able to changes the rules dynamically.
    Lets say, we doing fullouter join on Src_A and Src_B. on columns col1_A and col1_B.
    Now the requirement changes in a way that, the join should be done on Src_A and Src_C. on columns col1_A and col_C.
    For this I need to define a new package.
    Instead of that, I would like to do everything dynamically based on configuration parameters given as input.
    Thank you,

  • Regarding T Bar in Oracle 10g Reports

    Hi,
         We have the requirement to generate line graph report to meet the following requirement.
         The graph must be draw 4 horizontal lines.
         In these 4 lines, two lines displayed in the top and two lines in the bottom.
    The bottom two horizontal lines should be drawn along with vertical lines(T bars ) for      every x values.
         This graph is actually a combination graph which have both horizontal lines and T Bars.
         We have been recommended to use Oracle 10G Report builder to build this kind of report.
         We tried all the option available in the reporting tool, we could not able to represent T bars.     
         Is it possible to generate report with T bars using Oracle 10G
    reporting tool.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Printing Oracle 10g Reports in Line Matrix Printers

    Hello!
    I encountered problem when printing a generated report in Oracle 10g Reports to a Line Printer. When the report is in PDF format, the fonts when printed on line printers become scattered and the orientation of the report rotates 90 degrees. If I use HTMLCSS format, the pages are not of fixed size. Please help me.
    Thanks in advance.

    1. Setup CUPS Printing Environment in Linux / Unix (on many modern Linux systems, CUPS is the default Printing System at the moment). The details of setup / build of CUPS is beyond the scope of this article. For details, please visit CUPS sites and documentation :
    http://www.cups.org
    http://www.cups.org/doc-1.1/sam.html
    The setup of CUPS is complete for our purposes, once you are able to print PDF documents directly from unix shell as follows :
    $ PRINTER=yourprinter
    $ export PRINTER
    $ lp test.pdf
    OR
    $ lpr test.pdf
    * The "yourprinter" above should be substituted with the name of your printer queue defined in CUPS and "test.pdf" is any pdf document available on this server.
    2. In reports.sh, set the following parameter and restart the Report Server:
    REPORTS_CUPS_PRINTING=YES; export REPORTS_CUPS_PRINTING
    3. Setup PDF functionality (including Font Subsetting / Embedding etc) to display the output as required in PDF format. To check this, run the report with the option "...destype=cache&desformat=PDF...".
    4. Run the report with parameters "...&desformat=PDF&destype=printer&desname=yourprinter&...."
    This way, Reports Server generates a PDF file in cache and sends it to CUPS printer queue, ie the "desformat=pdf" option is no longer ignored with "destype=printer".

  • How to embed/show an image file (.jpeg or .jpg or .png) into a Oracle 10g report file (.rdf)

    Hi All,
    Morning , have an urgent requirement and need some guidance regards this.
    we are currently having an existing Oracle 10g reports file (.rdf)  lets say with name : Testing1.rdf .
    The report output is getting generated in a pdf format . it opens up in a pdf format..
    Now we want to embed an image file lets say : (logo.jpeg or logo.gif  ) into the report output..at run time the image from the image file should show up in the report output.
    Could someone please help as to how this could be achieved..and what approach we could follow for this...
    with regards
    Thanks as always !!

    Hi All,
    Morning ...just a follow up question to this original post : embedding the image files at runtime into an Oracle Report..
    We were able to achieve this by entering the folder location where the image files are place on the server in the REPORTS_PATH env variable in the report.sh file.
    Then we update this filename like file1.jpg into a table and from there we fetch this in the Oracle Reports data model directly.
    for The layout field we select the option as Image.
    All this works fine..
    Issue : The resolution of the embedded image in the generated report output is very low ...means the image appears there but it is not very clearly visible ..is there any way we could improve the IMAGE RESOLUTION in the report output....?????
    With regards

  • Showing Oracle 10g reports in Dashboard?

    Configuration:
    Oracle Business Intelligence Release 10.1.3.4 on Windows 2003 EE R2
    Oracle 10gR1 on Windows 2003 EE R2
    Problem:
    We have to show Oracle Reports 10i in Oracle Busines Publisher.
    Resolving failure:
    Conversion of current reports to "xdo" and placing them to Reports directory was successful but each report has to be additionally edited (originally was invalid). Beside that editing, conversion generated a lots of packages because all logic is in reports and not in database (sorry but thi si cost of previous programming techniques) so our database will look like a polygon of naming conventions in package part.... And at the end if we accept all that...direct connection with source report is lost so any change to original Oracle report has to be separatelly managed in BI. After mentioned facts we decide this is not acceptable.
    So now we as how to place direct link to original Oracle 10g Reports, which should be placed in Dashboards. Any thoughts on this or any additional suggestion is more then welcome...
    Regards,
    Damir Vadas

    1) when generating a report you can use a "save in directory" method. Refer to your helpfiles, how to do it
    2) copy the question in the report-forum, if 1) didn't help you

  • Oracle 10g Reports Server - problem authenticating against DB

    I have a problem with Oracle 10g Reports server authenticating against an Oracle RDBMS.
    When I try to run reports, an authentication form screen is presented, with the password field empty (the URL in explorer that loads this page contains the username and DB instance, but is missing the password) and the following error message:
    REP-51018: Need database user authentication
    When the password is entered into the empty field in the form and submitted, another 2 authentication errors are given.
    REP-51018: Need database user authentication
    REP-12545: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-12545: Connect failed because target host or object does not exist
    When the URL in the browser location field is manually altered to include the DB password, the reports are authenticated fine.
    Any ideas which config file I should be looking in?
    Any pointers would, of course, be much appreciated.
    thanks,
    Brian

    Hello, i finally have discovered what was happening, it has to be with the way FreeBSD passes the password field. By default FreeBSD passes the password field with a '*' while Oracle Linux (and Red Hat clones) expect an 'x' to look into shadow maps (Linux uses the '*' character in the password file to not allow login to that user).
    To solve it the password field served by the NIS server must be substituted, which is accomplished with nsswitch.conf and adding a line to the /etc/password file on the NIS Client, so the final files will look this way:
    # nsswitch.conf (compat directive allows us to use the '+' sintaxis in /etc/passwd file)
    passwd files compat
    # /etc/passwd (just add at the end of file)
    +:x:::::

  • Oracle 10g reports migration to Oracle 11g migration

    I have migrated oracle 10g reports to Oracle 11g reports and generated REP file. But when we execute REP file using RWRUN.EXE I am getting below error.

    1. Go to C:\Oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\config\FRComponent\frcommon\tools\admin
    2. Make a backup of the file 'cauprefs.ora'
    3. Open up the file in a text editor:
    --In the file, look for:

    "oracle.reports.plugin.datasource.textpds.TextDataSourceFactory")
    --Replace the value to: Reports.PluggableDataSourceFactories = ()
    4. Save the file and try running Reports Builder again. Data Model should open up without crashing.
    Could you please help me to resolve this issue.

  • Samples template for oracle 10g reports

    Hi,
    I need a oracle 10g reports sample templates were we need to make modifications and use it.
    if any body has the sample templates can share with me or where can i get the sample templates.
    Please advice.

    In your $ORACLE_DEV_HOME/reports/templates, there are many template examples (they are actually all the same, just different colors). I would start with one of those templates and work forward. Make sure to read about templates in the online help, as applying them can override any changes you made to a report. Also read about how inheritence works in templates.

  • 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.
