Run Report or Run Product

Which is better to use? Currently we use run_product but should we change?
Is run_report only usable if you have the reports declared under the reports node in the form your calling from?
Thanks

Run product is not supported for calling reports in Forms 9i - so you shoudl start to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. Note that you don't have to hardcode the names of reports in the report object - you can change the name and other parameters dynamically at runtime...

What is the best UI for running reports?

Based on my experience, am I correct in assuming the Silverlight UI is still the only one supported for running reports?
Running reports in the html5 UI is not a comparable experience at all.... yet .
Which UI do you use for your implementation?

I agree 100%... HTML5 UI for Reports is very clunky, slower and not intuitive when Silverlight's is much better.
We actually use the Excel Add-In a lot now, we just build the report's shell in C4C quickly and then do our View/Selection customization in Excel. We find it quite fast and everyone knows how to play with Excel reports quickly.
Since 1402 I believe, the user-experience in the iPad app SAP Customer Insight is also much better with the introduction of dashboards in HTML5 though.

Error when running reports: "File Server needs to be re-initialized"

Hi.
This error "File Server needs to be re-initialized" appears when our users try to run reports on 11.5.10. EBS.
There is also a message box that appears and reads:
"A error occurred while attempting to establish a conection to Application File Server. There may be a network configuration problem, or the TNS listener may not be running."
This is a problem in our test environment. We recently ran autoconfig on the test side.
I have checked Metalink and also wider google search.
Perhaps we have an issue with the tnsnames files? Well, I verified this and the tnsnames in production and test, and they are the same.
Perhaps a listener.ora file issue?
"The issue is caused by the variables APPLFSTT and APPLFSWD is not being set properly in the <8.0.6_ORACLE_HOME> listener.ora file. " (Note 263654.1)
I am trying to verify the meaning of the following (in listener):
( SID_DESC = ( SID_NAME = FNDFS )
( ORACLE_HOME = /oracli2/oracle/testora/8.0.6 )
,APPLFSTT=
TEST_BALANCE;TEST;PROD_806_BALANCE;TEST_FO;TEST_806_BALANCE;PROD_FO,APPLFSWD=/or
acli2/oracle/testappl/admin;/oracli2/oracle/testcomn/temp;/oracli2/oracle/testco
mn/html/oam/nonUix/launchMode/restricted' )
In the APPLFSTT entry, should there be any mention of "PROD" ? Shouldnt this all be changed to TEST?
Also, comparing this to the PROD listener, the order of APPLFSTT is different:
TEST: APPLFSTT=
TEST_BALANCE;TEST;PROD_806_BALANCE;TEST_FO;TEST_806_BALANCE
PROD:APPLFSTT=
PROD_806_BALANCE;PROD;PROD_BALANCE;PROD_FO,
I have made a copy of our listener in TEst, so I can edit the existing one. Trouble is, not sure if I even should try to edit it!
Any suggestions, much appreciated.
Oracle 9.2.0. AIX 5.2.
Notes covered in Metalink:
274177.1
303971.1
304568.1
263654.1

Yes thanks for that. Metalink has informed me to do the same, basically.
But I am in the middle of a cloning, so I will finish that then run autoconfig once again.
I already ran Autoconfig on both source and target, so will do again once this process is over.
Cheers.

Running reports on Flat file schemas when OBIEE server is on Unix

Hello
we would like to know how Unix OBIEE work with flat file. Currently, in our environment our Development and Production OBIEE are running on Unix AIX machine while our local OBIEE environment is on Windows.
As our devolepment and configuration goes, we have encounter situations where the flat file schema that were working well on Windows OBIEE server will not run on Unix. The flat files are located on a windows file directory and could be successfully imported into OBIEE throu Admin Tool.
However, when updating rowcounts or running reports on answers in Unix OBIEE it would return errors:
State: HY000. Code: 472983136. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 16023] The ODBC function has returned an error. The database may not be available, or the network may be down. (HY000)
The same activity is working fine on our local machine when OBIEE is on windows..
We would like to get some help on how to work with flat files when OBIEE is runing on Unix..

is this the same question as [this one|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=4018049#4018049] ?

Long running reports end successfully - present s "page can not be found"

Long running reports and browser timeouts - page can not be found"
We are launching Oracle 9i Reports from a Portal 9ias (release 9.0.2.2) system. We are in production with about 100 users. It is not going well with respect to Report problems.
We have the following problems:
1) hanging reports,
2) reports where parameter screens will not present due to large LOV on parameter screen,
3) and the most aggravating problem is "Page can not be found" presented to user when in fact the report ran successfully and create a .pdf.
We are at our wits end with Oracle Support and the Oracle Portal and Reports product.
As I said, I am launching Oracle Reports 9i from a Portal 9.0.2.2 application. I have several long running reports that complete successfully but return to the user an error "Page can not be found". Meta-link Note: 189454.1 suggests a modification to ReceiveTimeout parameter in the pc registry. We set the ReceiveTimeout parameter to 7200000. This did not solve the problem. Users still receive "Page can not be found".
Is there a report server side setting that we must set also ... or some other setting we should check?
I need to solve this issue. Is there someone out there that can help? Are there other people having similar Oracle Reports issues? According to Oracle Support we are the only people with these issues. Are we?

1) If you can reproduce the Reports Hanging issue consistently you can push Oracle Support to file a bug.
2) I am not sure about this now, but again you can take this to Oracle Support and push for resolution.
3) There are some problems with IE - Adobe integration. This is not a Reports bug. You can try
(a) Switching off Adobe - web integration in Adobe Acrobat reader settings, so that Adobe will not automatically open pdf file in web. Instead a dialog will be shown as to which application to open the pdf file or save it to disk and user can save the file to disk and open.
(b) Use IE latest version. (or some other browser like Netscape )
[ You can roll back the ReceiveTimeout param change you made to see the impacts one at a time ]
1) To confirm that this is a Adobe - IE pdf problem run the same report to htmlcss, rtf. If these come fine, then we can ascertain that this is Adobe - IE issue.
2) Give http://host:port/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=server_name. You can see all the jobs and their jobids. For the concerned jobs you can click and see whether output is actually generated or not.

How to configure oracle 6i report server run time component with application server

we got oracle 6i report server for developing the web based reports for our undergoing product. we r succesed in developing the web based reports using oracle 6i report server.But we r facing problems while deploying the product with oracle reports at clients place,why because the client does not have the oracle 6i report server. To solve this problem we have to configure the oracle 6i report server run time component with application server at client side , but we are unable to configure this component(that is CGI handler).

You can run multiple instances of Reports Server in 6i.
In tnsnames.ora, for each server, have a different name and each listening to different port.
For example,
server1.world = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = myhost.mydomain.com)(Port = 1949))
server2.world = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(Host = myhost.mydomain.com)(Port = 1950))
Also, if you want to know about Reports Server Clustering, you may refer to "Publishing Reports" document on OTN:

Error 404--Not Found - while running report in 11g

Dear All ,
I have my oracle application in 10g R1. Now we are migarting that to 11g .
There is a temporary directory where we are generating report output (PDF)
we are using an alias name web_reps for this folder .
Given the AliasMatch in forms.conf and in registry given the alias name for FORMS_MAPPING .
It was working with 10g . Tried the same in 11g so that report is generating in the folder (PDF)
but while openeing the file using web.showdocument () using the alias name it is giving the below error .
Error 404--Not Found
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1:
10.4.5 404 Not Found
The server has not found anything matching the Request-URI. No indication is given of whether the condition is temporary or permanent.
If the server does not wish to make this information available to the client, the status code 403 (Forbidden) can be used instead. The 410 (Gone) status code SHOULD be used if the server knows, through some internally configurable mechanism, that an old resource is permanently unavailable and has no forwarding address.
If any body know this issue pls help .
Thanks
Jyo

Are you using apache in front of your weblogics, or just plain weblogic? Also please post the full version of your 11g installation (11.1.1.x or 11.1.2.x). If you are using no apache and the 11.1.1.x version for development (without apache) the forms servlet and the reports servlet are deployed on different weblogic instances running on a different port; meaning forms is available under e.g.
http://ias:9001/forms/frmservlet
whereas reports is available under
http://ias:9002/reports/rwservlet
but when running reports via web.show_document it assumes both are running on the same port. Also make sure your weblogic instances are up and running. So either you use apache for production (in 11.1.1.x or 11.1.2.x) or you go for 11.1.2 in development where the forms and the reports servlets are deployed on the very same port. As far as I am concerned I'd go for 11.1.2 as the production environment is nothing different from 11.1.1 and the development environment is a hell of a lot easier to install.

Error '80070002' when running report with Crystal 9

Hi,
A client of mine is using Crystal 9 designer and RAS. We are trying to get them to upgrade but in the mean time when ever we create a new report we get the following error:
Error '80070002'
(there is also a random file path but can't show this for privacy reasons)
From what I can make out the current set up appears to be ok: they have the correct SDK files in the right place on the production application server.
These files point to the RAS which sits on the QA application server.
When we run the report through Crystal designer the reports runs fine, however when we run it through our HR application we get the above error.
Strange thing is though all of the pre-existing reports work fine...which is why I think the set up must be correct otherwise none of the reports would run, this is only happening with new reports we are trying to create.
It's like the page tries to connect to the RAS but gets kicked out.
I've tried seraching this and other forums but have not seen anybody else with this error.
Any one got any ideas?
Many thanks in advance

Moved to .NET BOE SDK forum ( assuming this is a ASP.NET app )
First thing to try is to turn logging on for RAS, stop the RAS server and add "-trace -crpetrace 7" ( I think these worked for RAS 9 ) and then look in the logs to see what the actual error is reported by CE 9. The error you posted is a COM error.
Next we need to know if this is a WEB app or Windows App and what Dev language you wrote it in?
What happens if you create a New report using the same database tables and info?
Thank you

Running reports created with Reports 9i in client-server configuration

I need to have users run reports created with Oracle Reports 9i on workstations without any Oracle products installed on it, (in a client-server configuration as opposed to Web based) . I am looking for a step-by-step approach to accomplish this. I looked through the installation documents in OTN and I did not see one that addressed this.
BTW, I saw an earlier post in this form which disscussed this,indirectly, for Reports 6i but I don't think these steps will work for 9i rpeorts
** Earlier post
Question:
I have an application in Oracle 8i, Forms 6i, Reports 6i. Now I want to make executable CD which will be installable in nature. I don't know how to make it or what tools to be used for this . Kindly help me out.
Answer:
You can write a .bat file for installation.....
This file should do following things.
1. Oracle8 Personal Setup
Install only Database (no tools)
2. Oracle Developer200 Setup
Install only Forms Runtime
Reports Runtime
Graphics Runtime
3. Use imp/exp to put the desired database...
4. Copy exexutables in some directory and place shortcuts in programs and destkop
5. Make new file-types in start->setting ->folder options-> file-types
and specify that in which runtime-application you want to open your executables....
Thanks in advance,
Audrey Watson

hi audrey,
there is no client/server runtime available for reports9i. what
you can do is to use the rwclient executable shipped with IDS
to submit jobs to the reports server.
there are plans to provide a stand alone thin client in the
future but this is not available yet.

christian

Running reports stored in the database

Hi guys,
Is it possible to have Reports 6i produce reports that are
stored in the database? Looking at the documentation, it would
appear the report definition files (RDF) must be stored in the
filesystem. I don't really want to be handing out filesystem
access (managing and it) to people - is there a way around this?
Thanks,
denty.

Hi,
Would anyone have any recommendations regrading running reports based on the data stored in an oracle database. We will soon go live with a project using an oracle DB. We do not wish to run reports directly from the production DB as it will impact performance. Have you actually measured the impact? If not, you are just making assumptions that -- lacking any other informatin -- appear to be invalid.
Is there any recommended method/architecture for reporting suggested by oracle for this type of scenario?
You make it sound like some unusual scenario. What you've described so far (running reports against an OLTP database) is just bread and butter operations for Oracle.
One idea is too runs some scripts that will write the data to another database and from there we will runs out reporting queries. Are there any other potential solutions?
And how does reading the data to insert into some other database cause less contention than reading data for a report?

Modify the title of a wad report at run time.

Hello Gurus,
i have a query in a report which lists the products.On clicking on a product, it takes me to anthr template which has the details of that product.The current scene is that whenever the user selects a product its detail report opens in a new browser.
The requirement is to display the name of the product in the tiltle bar of the browser.
I have the value of prod selected in a var(thru ABAP code), how can i set the title of the summary report at run time??
Please send suggestions ASAP.
Thanks
Regards,
priya

Hi Priya,
insert a text element into your detail web template and surround it by
<div id="someid" style="display:none">

</div>
The text element should display the value of the selected product and its property "ONLY_VALUES" should be set to "X". Now you can access the value of your selected product via JavaScript:
<script language="JavaScript">
function getSelectedProduct() {
var selectedProduct = document.getElementById("someid").innerHTML;
return selectedProduct;
</script>
Now you can set your title with the selected product.
I hope this helps a bit.
Greetings,
Daniel

US Sales Tax Report is running for more than 10 hours

Hi All,
Could any one please suggest us on below issue.
We have observed that "U.S. Sales Tax Report" Concurrent Program is running for more than 10 hours in R12 Production. The system has been upgraded from 11.5.8 to R12. Earlier in 11i, it was running for 1 hour and post upgrade its running more than 10 hours. As this program is a standard Oracle program, We are taking up this issue with Oracle support. But we wanted to know does anyone has the similar issues faced.
Many thanks,
