Reports10g no output

i am calling report at button press ... (using forms 10g & reports 10g)
before running form i start server at command prompt with command
rwserver server rep1
when i run form and click button... new page opens but in that i can't see report output.
Instead of that it shows oracle page with message ...
Oracle Reports Job Status
successfully run
at button press trigger i have following code
Web.show_document('/reports/rwservlet?server=rep1&destype=FILE&userid=neha/sad@orcl&param=no&module=repo_eg.
rdf','_blank');

Hello,
That the normal behaviour when DESTYPE=FILE.
If you want to DISPLAY the output in the browser window, you have to use DESTYPE=CACHE ad use a DESFORMAT like HTML / HTMLCSS / PDF / RTF
Example:
Web.show_document('/reports/rwservlet?server=rep1&destype=CACHE&DESFORMAT=PDF&userid=neha/sad@orcl&param=no&module=repo_eg.
rdf','_blank');

Set output directory for reports10g

Hello,
Is there a way to set the output directory for reports (10g) of REPORT_DESTYPE=FILE run from the web. Currently they all go to ORACLE_HOME\j2ee\home.
thanks

I am using the absolute path now but am finding that the length of DESNAME is to long.
eg -
DESNAME - D:\yamba\reports\SERIALS\mb0332.pf - works
DESNAME - D:\yamba\reports\SERIALS\mb0332.pdf - doesnt work
Any suggestions?
thanks

Excel output in Reports6i

Hi,
I am having problem in generating excel output. I am using reports6i and i am generating output from web. While generating,i am getting the output in excel. But my problem is, in my excel output i am having a field called barcode which is a varchar2 type and having values like (7889999677)number data. So if i generated the excel output file automatically it is showing that data in excel as right aligned data cell. I want that particular cell should be left aligned since it is varchar2 type. Can anybody solve this problem.
Thanks in advance
M.C. Meenakshi

I guess that you are using DESFORMAT=DELIMITED. If so, you don't have any control over formatting etc. Remember that a delimited file only consists of data and a delimiter like 2.4;1.6;6.3;1.1;1.2!
If it's possible, install Oracle Reports10g (part of Developer Suite 10g) and use the new way to generate an Excel Report.
Metalink Note 24819.1 describes how to make a report template in MS Excel. This will be opened and customized in Oracle Reports. When running the report, MS Excel will be automatically started (or via Excel browser plugin) and display the data. Quite nice!!!

How to store the report output in app server local directory

Dear All,
I would like to store the reports output in the app server folder. How do i achieve?
I am using reports10g, app server 10g. I am using web.show_document to call the reports. I would like to the achieve the same using this web.show_document built in.
Thanks
Balaji

Hi,
using desname pointing to an path on the apps-server the output is stored there. But when opening before in browser, then this document is stored in temporary folder on the client and you can't store them then to the apps server (if you not map the apps server or use web dav to do that).

XML output to Excel

From an XML newbie.
Hi all
If I generate a report in XML output from Reports10g, which contains data like 01, 02, 03, etc, and then import this into Excel 2003, how do I ensure that the format of the data is preserved, and not imported as 1,2,3, etc?
This would be the preferred method of importing into Excel, as it eliminates the need for users to have to manually import a text file.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,

Using web.show_doc u can only display the reports. If you want it to be stored in the server, you can use run_report_object.

Header in excel output

Hi,
I'm trying to generate an output to excel spread sheet in oracle reports10g. I want to use different header instead of it is populating from the column name in sql query. The reason why i have bigger column names that i have need to show excel spread sheet.
ex :
select ename ,empid,bonus from emp;
the output will be
ename      empid     bonus10
Adams     2029     10
Scott     3030     20
But i want
Employee Name      Employee Id     Bonus %
Adams     2029     10
Scott     3030     20
Please help me on this.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramana.

I can think of 2 ways to possibly do this:
1. change your field name in your select:
Ex: select ename AS 'Employee Name' ,empid AS 'Employee #' ...
2. in the data model layout, right click 'ename', select Property Inspector, and then change the 'XML Tag' to be whatever you want it to say (Employee Name).
Hope this helps,

Help with if statement in cursor and for loop to get output

I have the following cursor and and want to use if else statement to get the output. The cursor is working fine. What i need help with is how to use and if else statement to only get the folderrsn that have not been updated in the last 30 days. If you look at the talbe below my select statement is showing folderrs 291631 was updated only 4 days ago and folderrsn 322160 was also updated 4 days ago.
I do not want these two to appear in my result set. So i need to use if else so that my result only shows all folderrsn that havenot been updated in the last 30 days.
Here is my cursor:
/*Cursor for Email procedure. It is working Shows userid and the string
You need to update these folders*/
DECLARE
a_user varchar2(200) := null;
v_assigneduser varchar2(20);
v_folderrsn varchar2(200);
v_emailaddress varchar2(60);
v_subject varchar2(200);
Cursor c IS
SELECT assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, trunc(f.indate) AS "IN DATE",
MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "LAST UPDATE",
trunc(sysdate) - MAX (trunc(fpa.attemptdate)) AS "DAYS PAST"
--MAX (TRUNC (fpa.attemptdate)) - TRUNC (f.indate) AS "NUMBER OF DAYS"
FROM folder f, folderprocess fp, validuser vu, folderprocessattempt fpa
WHERE f.foldertype = 'HJ'
AND f.statuscode NOT IN (20, 40)
AND f.folderrsn = fp.folderrsn
AND fp.processrsn = fpa.processrsn
AND vu.userid = fp.assigneduser
AND vu.statuscode = 1
GROUP BY assigneduser, vu.emailaddress, f.folderrsn, f.indate
ORDER BY fp.assigneduser;
BEGIN
FOR c1 IN c LOOP
IF (c1.assigneduser = v_assigneduser) THEN
dbms_output.put_line(' ' || c1.folderrsn);
else
dbms_output.put(c1.assigneduser ||': ' || 'Overdue Folders:You need to update these folders: Folderrsn: '||c1.folderrsn);
END IF;
a_user := c1.assigneduser;
v_assigneduser := c1.assigneduser;
v_folderrsn := c1.folderrsn;
v_emailaddress := c1.emailaddress;
v_subject := 'Subject: Project for';
END LOOP;
END;
The reason I have included the folowing table is that I want you to see the output from the select statement. that way you can help me do the if statement in the above cursor so that the result will look like this:
emailaddress
Subject: 'Project for ' || V_email || 'not updated in the last 30 days'
v_folderrsn
v_folderrsn
etc

Comas(,) are not getting displayed in the output while using OO ABAP

Hi All,
I am using ABAP objects to display the ALV report in which there is a requirement to output Quantity fields. The Quantity fields are getting displayed without comas ','. Please help me in getting back the comas in the output.
Eg:
Below logic is used in my program.
Class name: cl_salv_form_layout_grid
Code:
obj_footer->create_text(
        row    = v_row_cnt
        column = v_col_cnt
        text   = Quantity).
Expected output:
39,545.000
Current Output:
39545.000
Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks & Regards,
Siva.

Getting null and 0 outputting to screen or file.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to make a phone book program in Java. However the main functions of the phone book (adding and displaying contacts) isn't really working, it is outputting null or 0.
Here is a class to create an object for family members:
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class phoneFamily extends phoneNumbers
     protected int home;
     public phoneFamily(String name, String address, int mobile, int business, int home)
          super(name, address, mobile, business);
          this.home = home;
     public phoneFamily(StringTokenizer P)
          super(P);
          while (P.hasMoreTokens()){home = Integer.parseInt(P.nextToken());}
     public void setHome(int home)
          this.home = home;
     public int getHome()
          return home;
     public String toString()
          return "Name: " + name + "\nAddress: " + address + "\nMobile: " + mobile +
               "\nBusiness: " + business + "\nHome: " + home;
     public String CSV()
          return name + "," + address + "," + mobile + "," + business + "," + home;
}Now I'm assuming that the problem I am having, where null or 0 is written to the file and screen is caused by the methods that reads a contact, writes them to the file, prints them to the screen. Here are those bits of codes.
Reads Contact:
private phoneNumbers ReadContact()
          int x = 0;
          String contact;
          StringTokenizer S;
          while (x < 1 || x > 3)
               System.out.print("Which type of contact would you like?");
               System.out.print("\n1)Family\n2)Workers\n3)Friends");
               x = keyboard.nextInt();
          contact = ReadString("contact name") + "," +
                     ReadString("address") + "," +
                     ReadString("mobile") + "," +
                     ReadString("business") + ",";
          if (x==1)
               contact+=ReadString("home");
          else if (x==2)
               contact+=ReadString("email") + "," + ReadString("job title") + "," + ReadString("department");
          else
               contact+=ReadString("email") + "," + ReadString("home");
          S = new StringTokenizer(contact,",");
          if (x==1)
               return new phoneFamily(S);

For some reason the last thing you enter when adding a contact (example above, home number), gets displayed first (when it should be name) and the rest are null or 0. The file looks something like this (in CSV)
111222333,null,0,0,0
The "111222333" is supposed to be the name but like I said last value entered is being put first.
I've gone over my code several times, with no luck :-(.

I made a silly mistake in the bit where the details are read. After fixing that everything is running well :-).
My mistake:
I had something like:
while(P.hasMoreTokens()){this.data = P.nextToken();}
while(P.hasMoreTokens()){this.data2 = P.nextToken();}
and so on...Obviously had to use "if"s and not "while"s to read the data...
Thanks for offering a helping hand :-) though!

Help! No output!

Hi there,
Im using an MAudio Firewire interface and I've got it set to use the aggregate device so I can use my MacBook soundcard as an input and an output.
I can hear any tracks I create fine but 'system' sounds like previewing loops, metronome, and count ins are not coming through, I guess this is down to the way the aggregate device works.
My Inputs are set to channel 2, and outputs 5-6.
Is there any way to fix this, or how do I set this up to work correctly?
Thanks
Tom

Clicks and loops come through their own channel strips, and they're probably set to 1-2. Go into the Mixer, and click the 'All' tab top right. There should be a 'Prelisten' channel strip there for your loops and Sample Editor sounds, and a 'Click' channel strip, which is set to Instrument 256. Change them both to output 5-6 (or whatever output) and you should be all set.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. It was working fine now I cant get it to output to the Tv. Any ideas?

My Macbook pro no longer outputs to my vizio led tv. It was working fine now I cant get any picture. It just says no signal. It is not the hdmi or the adapter because it works fine with my other tv. Any ideas on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Please be as specific as possible. Thanks. BTW--I am using the mini dvi to hdmi adapter in case that was unclear.

Since you say that the same connectors work on your other TV is suggests that the fault is not in the connectors but your Vizio TV. I would check the settings on the Vizio TV. Verify that is is set to receive HDMI input. Perhaps you or some one else has inadvertently changed them. Pressing the wrong buttons on a remote control device can do that. (I am assuming no changes were made in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAYS)
Ciao.

DVI to Video Adapter: Using S-video vs. RCA output to TV

I just purchased a DVI to Video Adapter for my MacBook Pro 15". I'd like to display iPhoto slide shows on my TV. Will there be a difference in picture quality on the TV if I output from the Mac (thru the DVI to Video Adapter) using an RCA cable versus an S-video cable?

S-Video is the better of the two interfaces. Neither is very good when compared with a computer screen, which will have much higher resolution. I doubt you will notice much difference between S-Video and RCA Video but if you have the choice you might as well go S-Video.
