RTF output failing

We are using Oracle Reports server 6i and are accessing reports via rwcgi60 through IE5 browser. Our destype=cache, and when our desformat is set to PDF, HTML, HTMLCSS the report is generated just fine. However, when we try to use desformat of RTF we get the following error:
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.
Oracle Reports Server CGI - The Reports Server Engine terminated abnormally.
I have searched to boards to see if there are any other parameters we need to set or things we need to take into consideration internally in the report (layout, fonts, alignment and such) but I haven't seen any things listed.
If there is anyone out there who has been able to run a report with destype=cache and desformat=RTF? Do we need any particular software set up on the reports server? I know that PDF would have a problem if there was no printer driver installed, but since PDF works fine I don't believe that is the issue.
Any help would be appreciated at this time.
Thanks

On 7/19, Oracle Reports Team said that that
problem was fixed by a patchset, and implied
that patch 6 was the one.
That error rang a bell with me, but I get
it with HTML, whether to file or cache.
May be because of the embedded graphic,
since non-graphic reports work fine. RTF
generates a file either way for me, although
the generated RTF is flawed with our
patchset (Patch 6 fixes them, but we can't
go there yet because of other problems).

XML Publisher rtf output not consistent with the rtf created

I am using XML publisher to generate a custom report.
The approach I folllowed:
1) AM Class: Write the VO data to XMLNode using vo.writeXML() method
2) XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility: Create a data template and attach the xml created in step1 as "Preview Data"
3) XML Publisher Administrator Responsibility: Create a rtf template (contains images and text), attach the data template (step 2) and attach the rtf created.
4) Controller class: Use TemplateHelper.processTemplate() method, passing the rtf template and the XML data from VO.
5) Verify the rtf output in application.
Issues I am having are as follows:
1) Major issue is page format. I have saved my rtf file with a different page format as below:
     File->Page Setup->Paper->Width:255 pt
               ->Height:165 pt
     File->Page Setup->Margins->Top: 12 pt
                    ->Bottom: 0.1 pt
                    ->Left: 0.1 pt
                    ->Right: 12 pt
When I open my document from the application, the margins and page setup rtf output is not retained (as given in teh doc), hence my whole layout is disturbed.
Thus, I am getting a very weird layout when I open my rtf output from application.
How can I retain the page settings?
2) I added a image, and the size of the image also is not retained as well.
And if I set the layout wrapping style anything other than "In line with text", the image does not show up in the output.
Would greatly appreciate if someone can put some light on this.

RTF & PDF output can't be exact same, we can minimize the difference by eliminating all extra spaces(Ex: from table rows, in between form fields etc.) from RTF while generating RTF output.

PDF and RTF output differences

Hi All
I'm having some issues when previewing labels in PDF and RTF output. I have created a RTF template that outputs labels - 5 address lines per label, 2 X 10 labels per page. Each label is contained in a table and each address line is contained in a table row.
- When I preview the RTF output long address lines are not being truncated even though I uncheck the wrap option on the table cell properties.
- When I preview the RTF output I can get 2x10 labels on the page (if no wrapping occurs) but when I preview in PDF I can only get 2x9 labels on the page. I have checked the font size of both the PDF and RTF outputs and they are the same size. It looks like the header and footer is taking up more space on the PDF version compared to the RTF version when I visually inspect the output but I cannot be sure.
Does anyone have any ideas how to resolve these issues?
regards
Brad

Always its better to use different templates for individual output types as the template designed with perfection for pdf output type dosen't comply with rtf or any other type and vice versa.
Cheers!

PDF output vs. RTF Output

I have a few form fields in my template which say only display this line if the data exists. When I output the report as PDF the lines with no data are hidden as I'd expect. When I output as RTF the lines are still there.
Also, unticking the 'Allow row to break across pages' tickbox in the table properties prevents table rows from splitting between pages in PDF output, but not in RTF output.
Am I just missing something basic about the difference between what you can do with the two formats? Or do I need to do something else to get the RTF to work as I'd expect.
Thanks,
Ben

Reports 6.0 Portrait vs Landscape in RTF output

I am having difficulty with RTF output in Reports 6.0. The print
preview of a report (with the system parameter orientation =
PORTRAIT)looks fine when previewing or printing from the
runtime, however, when I generate to an rtf file and open the
output in Word the document orientation is landscape and we are
forced to change the page setup for each report before printing
from Word. I am using Word 97 on NT 4.0 with service patch 3.0
and reports 6.0.5.28.0 on an Oracle 7.3.4 database. Can anyone
offer any suggestions?

Report6 & Patch3: RTF-Output TRUNCATED

Hi,
I'm facing the following problem:
When generating a RTF-report, the rtf output is truncated
when viewed in MS Word97.
The readme.doc (included with the 'patch3' package)
references that kind of problem as follows:
Bugs fixed In REPORTS:
Ver 6_0_5_31_0:

but after installing patch3 (from ftp://oracle-
ftp.oracle.com/dev_tools/patchsets/dev2k/Win95NT/6.0/patch3)
the problem still exists.
A simple report output file looks like this
(the paperw and paperh attributes do not change when changing
the width and height attributes in the
Report Builder Layout Model):
--- rtf file ---

Which of the three problems mentioned is the
bug? Or is it all of them?
#1 - Could you be more specific about the
margin problem? I haven't had any trouble;
but then I expect a slight (<1/8") variation.
#2 - I think this goes with #3. Since the
Oracle RTF is specifying exact locations of
each text box, modifying the page would mess
that up. But that's a guess. Hmm, I think
I'll try to figure out what in the file is
disabling page setup.
Note that MSWord doesn't like borders around
text boxes - if you save the Oracle RTF from
Word, it ~doubles the text fields but
~quintuples the graphics. For a large file,
eschew and beware graphics as much as you
can. (One of my reports was 78MB _before_
Word got to it, with graphics. With much
reduced graphics, "only" 19MB.)
PDF is all very well as long as you don't
need non-English characters. Our db is
Unicode, and we want to display Cyrillic.
I've managed to convince PDF to do that, but
it wasn't pretty. Oracle RTF doesn't do
Unicode correctly either, but we added a
post-processor to correct it. Voila,
Cyrillic and other non-Latin characters.

i would like to know why the code start@last-page works in pdf format but do not works if i generate the report in rtf format.

Nested Tables Repeat Header Row RTF Output Not Working v5.6.2(PDF does)

All,
Has anyone used nested tables in heading rows where they are set to repeat nested table header row across page breaks for RTF output ? This seems to work for PDF generation (line breaking enforcement doesn't) but I don't even get RTF Header ROWS indicated in my RTF output document. I have enabled them in my RTF template for the outer table row plus the inner nested table. Is this possible for RTF output or have I not indicated something in my RTF template or grouping clause ??
Thanks,
Tom

Connected Query no RTF output?

Hi guys...I've just written my 1st Connected Query linking to an RTF report definition. I cannot seem to get any RTF output after the app engine has completed. I have a custom run control that schedules the app engine which has the peoplcode to call and execute the connected query. All I get is an XML file on the Process Monitor View Trace/Log. No RTF output. Help....what am I missing here? Thanks so much for any help!

i think you have run the code to generate the XML file from your connected query...
check the following things
1. Check the Report definition is defined or not for the file that you want generate.
2. if its defined check the RTF template is present or not.
3.Check your code in Appengine whether you have mentioned the Report Definition and template name,

CanSplitImage Rule causing pagination issues while creating RTF output

Hi,
We are facing spacing/pagination issues when we use CanSplitImage rule for RTF output with NoFrames. It splits the section and prints in next page as expected but leaves the remaining page empty/blank and prints the next consecutive sections in the next page(basically the 3rd page).
Any suggestions on the solution based on your experience will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Default font size is different on 1st page of RTF output.

The default font for the blank lines in the body of my rtf output is Arial 12 pt but in the subsequent pages it it Arial 10. I've set the default font in the xdo.cfg file to Arial:10. It's throwing the formatting off. Can someone help?

Hello @mgag,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand when you print to your HP Officejet 8610e, the output is much larger then what you initially try to print from your Computer running Windows XP.
I would first like you to run the HP Print and Scan Doctor > www.hp.com/go/tools
-- It was designed by HP to provide users with the troubleshooting and problem solving features needed to resolve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan products connected to Windows-based computers.
Does the PSDR find anything?
If you make a copy from the front panel, does this print fine, or is the text enlarged as well?
Which program or Browser are you printing from?
I hope to hear from you soon.

[Solved] VLC 'Audio output failed' no sound from anything

Very new to Arch so not sure what outputs to post.
I installed arch about a week ago with no dramas, then after installing xfce-volumed I lost all sound and got this from vlc:

No. I doubt it's a hardware problem either. It's a matter of getting the right sound drivers loaded for your card. Don't give up on Arch yet. These are the experiences you embrace with Arch. Not run away from! :-)
You said you were new to Arch so stick to the Beginner's Guide starting out https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners'_Guide . Make sure you read every single sentence related to "sound".
The Wiki is an awesome resource. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Main_Page It's power is in the search box so do some generic searches there and it will take you to whole articles related to your problem.
For sound problems, be sure you check out:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sound
and
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA
at the very least.
In fact there's a whole page devoted to your sound card:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Realtek_ALC892
It mentions installing some packages from the AUR.
For AUR, you really want to install "yaourt".
Read about that here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt
Once you have that installed then you use it just like pacman with all the same switches. So to install the "alsa-driver.hda-intel.hda-codec-realtek-git" package from the AUR as the Realtec_ALC892 wiki page suggests, you'd issue "yaourt -S alsa-driver.hda-intel.hda-codec-realtek-git" from the command line running as your regular user.
Don't give up. It's time to dig!
Hopefully this will get you a little further down the street.

Report XML output fail to load into .RTF layout [EBS r12]

Hi,
In EBS r12, we have requirement to have a standard report output in excel.
I got the report's xml output to create the xml template (.RTF layout) using BI Publisher.
I created the .RTF layout and it works fine on my laptop using Bi Publisher.. the xml loads into it and i can preview xml data on layout with all format (Excel, PDF...)
I uploaded the layout to EBS, and assigned it to the standard report.
I changed standard report out put to XML
When i go to submit report request, the template is assigned with report and everything seems correct.
[See screen shot: http://img35.imageshack.us/i/xmlt.jpg/]
But after i run the report.
The report is Completed with Warning status.. and output is only XML with Error message :
This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
The Log file says :
Executing request completion options...
------------- 1) PUBLISH -------------
Beginning post-processing of request 2350601 on node CLONE at 13-APR-2011 09:03:47.
Post-processing of request 2350601 failed at 13-APR-2011 09:03:48 with the error message:
One or more post-processing actions failed. Consult the OPP service log for details.

Not printing the output of this request because post-processing failed.
Finished executing request completion options.
Why this is happening ? i have done this many times with other standard reports and it worked fine.
Please advise.

please check the log file and post the output here
How to find OPP log file?
To investigate on XML issues or other publishing problems, often the OPP logfile is needed.
OPP stands for Output Post Processor. Below are the steps to find log file
1. Login to the application as SYSADMIN
2. Responsibility: System Administrator
3. Function: Concurrent --> Manager --> Administration
4. Select the Output Post Processor
5. Click on the Processes button
6. Select the Concurrent Process which was active during the time that the request ran
7. Click on the Manager Log button to open the Output Post Processor log file

RTF output

I have a text to display if there is no information available. So I put this text outside the repeating frame. When I run the report normally it displays fine. But when I generate the output to rtf, the data as well as the text is displayed and they overlap each other.
Is there any way this can be avoided?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

hello,
this almost looks to me as if your format trigger fails when executed to RTF .. maybe it's an anchoring problem or something. as i understood it, the text should not be displayed when other data is available, however in the RTF case you state that you see it in addition to the other data. hence the format trigger (assuming that's how you show/hide the text) is invalid or for some reason does not work correctly in RTF.
thanks,

Left speaker output failed, gigaworks s750

I have seen this problem on the forum before, here is one instance: http://forums.creative.com/creativel....id=70289#M493
I havent seen any solutions.
Setup:
Asus n78x-e deluxe motherboard with 5.1 capability
Usually i have it plugged: rear-> line in, front ->normal center/sub-> microphone
These speakers have worked fine for at least 6 months now, perfectly. Great sound output on ALL of the speakers. Today, was listening to some music, when my rear left speakers just stopped producing sound. So currently, my left rear, and left side speakers are not working. The speakers themselves actually work fine, as I have tested them with the center output, and the right outputs. None of the other speakers seem to work when plugged into left rear or left side. There is some sound, but it's significantly muted.
Help please!
Thanks,
Aric
PS: This also happened in my old speakers megaworks50, and i think it has something to do with a connection in the sub. I really don't want to have to deal with that. I'm hoping there's an easier solution thatn trying to RMA this. Perhaps i could open up the sub and just fix the connection? Whatsup with creative and having rear left speaker issues? I've read like 6 other posts now about the same type of problem.
Message Edited by aricjonho on 11-30-2005 07:02 PM

Temporary fix... turn the rear left audio channel down to nothing and you have a 6.1 system that wont crackle as much, but the sub will still distort anything without channel selecti've output (like single channel mp3).
Same here tho, quite a few people have posted about it, creative denies its a problem but i am seeing it more and more online reports and even my own customers (i tune high performance pc's) are having problems.
the left rear channel just "gives up" after a certain amount of use it seems. i have since cracked mine open and i cant see anything visually wrong (other than the anti-tamper warrenty seals are pointless to anyone with knowledge of moddelling paint and varnishes), just a odd smell that might be bad wiring or good cheese.
creative have so far told me (depending on what call centre i phone us/uk/eu) that its either my drivers, a failing Audigy2 ZS or abuse of the sub (ie max bass and vol(whats the point of leting people choose a setting that will blow up the product?)) basically anything that doesnt require them giving me an RMA.
I suggest everyone with the problem goes to a real shop, buys a set, swaps the speakers out of the box with the broken ones and takes them back again for a refund. then flog the good speakers on ebay and go buy an amp and a bunch of car speakers from halfords, knock them together with some duct tape and viola, a higher quality product.
(ps, i have a bad habbit(i love paranthesis))
