Run reports to content area

I can't seem to find any up to date documentation on running reports to a content area in Portal 3.0. The only docs I find talk about WebDB and don't seem to apply anymore.
My questions are really:
1. How do I schedule a report from Portal to a content area?
and
2. How do I use the rwcgi60.exe to schedule a report to a content area?
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your response. When following the instructions in the document you reference, I get the following error:
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Error occurred while parsing the Reports Server command line.
Any thoughts?

Javascript errors when iView is running in Portal Content Area

We have URL based iView which is running flex application. If this iView is running in separate window (by preview, link or setting "Launch in new Window" option) everything is fine.
However, if iView is running inside Portal Content Area there are bunch of JavaScript errors (missing object, permission denied). The iView itself is still running fine, but those errors are annoying and could be a problem for customers.
Are there any ways to fix it?
Thanks.

Hi,
So after a few days I managed to finally get a workable solution:
Whenever you are referring to a script file in your main page, you will not be able to open the file when in normal mode, even with relaxing the domain and all the other hints posted.
What you need to do is to include the actual content of the *.js file in the main html page.
For example, if you have a page called index.html that refers to a file AC_RunActiveContent.js which is located in your scripts directory, you will need to change the code in the index.html file as follows:
Initial HTML File:*
< HTML>
< HEAD>
< TITLE>Test Page</TITLE>

< s c r i p t s r c="../scripts/collapsiblepanel. j s" type="text/ j a v a s c r i p t"></ s c r i p t>

< /HEAD>
< BODY>
< /BODY>
< /HTML>
New HTML File:
< HTML>
< HEAD>
< TITLE>Executive Committee - Balance Sheets</TITLE>

< s c r i p t t y p e="t e x t / j a v a s c r i p t ">
your actual javascript code
< / s c r i p t >

< /HEAD>
< BODY>
< /BODY>
< /HTML>
By doing this:
You will be able to use java scripts in your html file and applications without experiencing the problems mentioned. Keep in mind though that you will now have all your script file code in your actual html file and the number of lines in the files will increase dramatically.
The increase in size of the actual html files are not too bad, a normal 2Kb html file may increase to 70Kb if not more, depending on the code contained in the initial *.js file.
I have played around with this and have been able to include Macromedia Flash objects in my html files too, by pasting the actual code content in the html files as opposed to refereincing the script in the relevant directory.
I hope this helps.

Freddie Botha.

SAPUI5 Application doesn't display in Portal Content Area

Hallo Guys
We are developing a SAPUI5 application that needs to be displayed inside the portal.
The problem is that the SAPUI5 app doesn't display in in the content area, no erors, just a blank page, you have to set the iview to open in a seperate headerless window, then it works. But it needs to work in the content area.
Our findings: a possible cause is that the IE mode when inside the Portal content area is IE5 Quirks, and when it displays in a new window, the mode changes to a more recent and acceptable mode for SAPUI5, IE9.
Is there any solution to this? We get the same result with both URL iView and using the SAPUI5 iView in content provided by SAP. We are on NW 7.4
Regards
Antonette

Hi Antonette,
As Lawrence explained the reason is indeed that quirks and standards mode can't run together on the same page (not only in portal but it's a limitation by MS).
Since your framework page is in IE5 quirks mode the UI5 application doesn't run in the content area, you can run it by selecting in the iView properties "Launch in a new headerless window (strandards)", that will open the UI5 application in a new window and will work.
If you wish to run UI5 applications in the content area you can get latest SP of 7.4 and there you will have a new framework page: standards AFP, basically an AFP framework page that works in standards mode.
In that framework page you can run UI5 applications in the content area, however trying to run old applications (HTMLB, not WD) may fail, for WD you have a paramater you need to pass called sap-ie, passing it with the value of "Edge" will make sure WD applications run in standards mode as well.
When running the AFP in standards mode you will need to open your HTMLB and other old applications in a new headerless window or new window so you can see the content.
Hope this helped,
BR,

Running Reports using DESTYPE=CACHE from Report Launch Form (QMS0012F)

We are trying to run reports via the web. Since this is a 3-tier setup and our report server is running under UNIX the DESTYPE=Preview and Screen are not valid options. When we choose CACHE as DESTYPE we get the error:
'Invalid value '||l_value||' passed for parameter DESTYPE'
I have traced the error down to the QMS0012L.PLL library -> QMS$REPORT (version 6.5.1.3) package -> add_par_to_list procedure.
Is this a legacy of a client/server type setup? I have modified the procedure to allow for DESTYPE=CACHE. Now by submitting a report with DESTYPE=CACHE it gets submitted to the reports server except it doesn't show report. To display the report I believe we have
to use the Web.Show Document function to display the report (eg. http://bill:7777/servlet/RWServlet/getjobid8?server=rep60bill) as per the oracle white paper "Integrating Oracle9iAS Reports in Oracle9iAS Forms"
Has there been a headsdtart patch to include the DESTYPE of CACHE when running reports? or are we the only ones running reports this way.

Raymond,
I have recorded a new bug against Headstart for this. We do not
currently have a fix, but I've looked at the code you mention and
your fix looks correct.

IViews in dynamic navigation take up whole content area

Hi,
I'm having a problem using dynamic navigation. I've created two Web Dynpro iViews A and B. I've added B to the dynamic navigation of A and put A into a role. Know when I want to view A, I can see the iViews loading, B in the navigation panel and A on the right of the panel. But once they are loaded, B is shown in the content area, "above" A (effectively hiding it). Once I remove B from the dynamic navigation, A is shown fine.
Any ideas to solve this?
thanks,
Lieven

Hi Lieven!
I can only guess, that the WebDynpro integration-IView is designed to run in the content area alone and forces so.
Did you try to run other (sap provided) WebDynpro iviews from the dynamic navigation?

Jürgen

OC4J Containers to run report.jsp

Does anyone have a step by step on creating a production OC4J container that will run 9i report jsp's? The report jsp's will run under the demo area but we would like to setup a new OC4J container to run reports. We are using 9ias Rel2 App Server.
Thanks

Hi,
Welcome to OTN. I am not sure about the discoverer report. However, there is no straight forward way of integrating the oracle reports with jsp page (as you have in forms using run_product / run_report_object).
Having said that, you can still use the jspx page to launch the URL that invokes the rwservlet.

Cannot output Reports pdf directly to content area

I have registered a report (Oracle Reports rdf) as a portal component. It is included in a content area. I can execute the report and the output file is created (pdf) - but it is not loaded automatically into the content area folder that I specified in the scheduling parameters.
The pdf file is created in the first directory in the REPORTS60_PATH (in our case 'bin').
Version info :
9iAS 1.0.2.2
Portal 3.0.9

Andy,
The integration of Oracle Reports into a Portal content area is possible in two ways. Having registered a report in the Reports security pages the Oracle Report appears a standard Web component and may be added as an item. In this case the report appears as a Link which when clicked will run the report at that time (you indicate that this is working). The second way is to push a scheduled report automatically to a defined folder such that when a user moves to that folder the pre-generated report is already there.
This second technique requires that the report server know where the Portal repository is stored. To do this you need to first set the "REPOSITORYCONN" parameter in the Report Servers configuration file (usually <reportServerName>.cfg) Eg. portal30/portal30@PortalSID. This will then allow the server to push the completed document to the defined folder.

Unable to create content area item for RDF-report

According to white paper "Security tips in Oracle Reports Services (release 6i with Portal 3.0)" I'm trying to integrate an Oracle Reports 6i RDF-module in my portal.
All goes well including running the report from de reports definition file.
However, when I want to create an item in the content area referencing the report, the report-application is not visible in the lov Application Components. The only aplication component I'm offered is "PEOPLE_APP: People".
Perhaps the following problems are related to this problem:
1) When looking for applications in the Portal Navigator, the report-application is missing in the applications list. However, after using the Find...-option the application is shown. Should report-definitions been shown ?
2) After installing rwwwvins.sql the package body WWV_RW_SB is invalid with errormessage "PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to SET_SSO_SESSION".
Can anybody help ?

One problem solved...
It appears that I should have stated the application as "Expose as Provider". After doing that the report appeared in the lov.
Unfortunately one problem still remains. The package WWV_RW_SB has errors causing the parameterform to fail. I've rerun the rwwwvins-script but the package body stays invalid.

Running Reports from Client Machines in which the reports are residing on t

Hi Folks,
I'm using Developer 6i with Oracle 9i. I can run forms from the clients so that the FMX file is residing on a shared drive on the server, but when I try to run reports which also reside on the shared drive of server, I get error that unable to find the report. Do I need to install report server on the client machine/server or am I missing some basic step here?

Hi,
There's a whitepaper on the topic of Forms/Reports integration for the web called "Oracle9iAS Forms Services and Reports Services Integration". This should give you the information you are seeking.

Display the reports under all subfolders at a time in the content area?

Hi All,
In SAP EP portal,We have a requirement to display few reports wherein we have 7 roles with the same names but different ID's and they are merged together so that even if the users have 7 roles assigned he will see only 1 tab in the first level navigation and uder that there will be one folder at the second level.Now the requirement is like this
1st level navigation : Role Name
2nd level navigation :Folder Name
Detailed Navigation : Folder Name
                                 Sub Folder Name
                                 Sub -sub folder1 Name
                                 Reports   --(one or many)
                                 Sub -sub folder2 Name
                                 Reports   --(one or many)
                                 Sub -sub folder3 Name
                                 Reports   --(one or many)
Under al the sub-sub folders a workset map iview is added to display the reports with a pictogram in the content area.In the detailed navigation, as soon as the user clicks on the Sub folder the user should be able to see the reports under all the Sub-sub folders( Sub-sub folder1,Sub-sub folder2,Sub-sub folder3) .But currently the user has to explicitly click on each of the Sub-sub folders to view the reports(thrice in this case).Plz give a solution in which all the reports under the 3 Sub-sub folders should appear simultaneouly in the content area at a single click on Sub Folder
Thanks & Regards,
Sowmya

CRM ONLINE 2013: On Approval Of Quotation, Run Report, Generate PDF and Send an Email With PDF as attachment

Hi,
I am using CRM ONLINE 2013.
How to automate below process?
1. On Approval Of Quotation, Run Report.
2. Generate PDF.
3. Send an Email With PDF as attachment.
As i have gone through many forums for this topic, but creating a plugin code for generating Report PDF is not possible in CRM ONLINE.
So, What is the alternate way to do this..?
Thanks.

This is my entire code mentioned below:-
