Run Character mode reports in Menu/forms.

Hi,
we are using ora-dev-suite 10g and trying to Run Character mode reports in Menu/forms and output ascii text or pdf files generated and saved in local/client PC's.
report when run through report builder, it is ok.
But we are not able to run these reports through menus/forms. can we run these reports using background report engine on a click of button.
pl.guide us.
thanks.

Hello,
You can put a variable in your default.env file like SERVER_URL http://<yourserver>:<yourport> and then retrieve it in forms with the tool_env.getvar package
declare v_server_url varchar2(100);
begin
tool_env.getvar(SERVER_URL,v_server_url);
/* then launch your report */
web.show_document(v_server_url||'/reports/rwservlet?yourparameters.....');
end;So if you deploy your form in server 1 or 2 you only have to change the value in the default.env file according to the server you use.
Hope this helps.

Character mode reports on web

hi,
can anybody please tell me how to deploy character mode reports on web using reports 6i and webdb as web server.i get some printer error when i try to do this
regards
mayuri

Hi,
There are two ways you can print it. When you set the DES_TYPE system parameter to PRINTER, then that report gets printed on the Application Server. And If you use the Browser's print... feature, then that report gets printed on the Printer connnected to browser machine.
For further information, please check the help.

Character-mode report on web

Hi,
I am new to Report builder, I have developed character mode report on client server mode, It is working fine, and fast printing.
Please tell me this report can i run on web using report server with same speed of printing?

To run the reports in character mode in web architecture, you need to provide "mode=character" cmd line parameters in the url request. Make sure the report you run is designed for character mode.

Character mode report and 9iAS

Hi, our company is migrating system developed by Developer 2000 to Developer 9i on 9iAS. Our old system has lots of character mode reports.
Is there any ways to preview these character mode reports on Web on 9iAS? Is it neccessary to convert all character mode to bitmap format?
Thank you very much in advance.
cheers,
Kathy

No, you can still run them as the are over the web (they won't look great, but they should still run without conversion).

Apex 4.1 Form and Report on Web Service Report displays nothing

Hello I created and tested a webservice using the test feature in Apex 4.1.
I know the results is a string of 1 row.
I created a Form and Report on Web Service. When I run the form there is nothing displayed in the Reports section its just blank.
If I run the sql from the results region I get no data found.
Is the problem the returned data is not stored in the collection?
Edited by: Oracle Primavera on Oct 26, 2011 3:32 PM

What would be the reason for the following.
Testing the webservice in apex returns values.
However when I run Form and Report on Web Service Report if I query the collection it is always empty?
Does anyone have any experience on this issue? Is it a bug? Please some hints I have been trying for two weeks without success.

Character Mode Reports 11g

Hello,
we are upgrading to 11g, and all our reports are character mode formatted via .prt files, since character mode reports cannot be generated in pdf format, we don`t know how to access the reports, because we have dot matrix printers and the pdf don't work with these printers
Is there a way to run character mode report with preview screen and generate the right format (using the prt files we already have) ?
Thanks in advanced

You actually need 2 reports. See the Report Builder Help:
About creating an ASCII (character-mode) report
To create a character-mode report, you first create a bit-mapped report, then convert that report to an ASCII (character-mode) report. The process will create a new character-mode version of your bit-mapped report; the original bit-mapped report remains unchanged.
There is a step-by-step explanation in the Help.

Creating file on local drive while running the report on web

I am using text_io package to write data to a file in reports. When I run it on my local machine, it creates the file (in C drive) perfectly but, when I am running this same report on the report server, it doesn't create the file. Looks like report server doesn't understand where to create the output file. I hard coded the path(C:\xyz.csv) in my report as to where to create the file, but the report server is not creating the output file. Any suggestions how to create the output file on my local machine while running on the web.

Bhasker,
You will have to use destype=localfile
Please refer to appendis on commandlines in

How to create the web based report without enterprise portal?

Hi experts,
We don't have enterprise portal but I like to create the web based version of the existing Bex reports and which option is the best to distribute this web based report using information broadcasting?
Can I use report designer for this?
Thanks in advance.
Sharat.

Hi Sharat
In BI 7.0 the Queries which u devoleped can be broad casted by using two ways .
1. Enterprise portal
2.Web Application Designer(WAD)
So you can choose any of the option, For the Option 1 you should have seperate server for the EP or else For option 2 you have to make some setting in the BI system to enable the Web reports..

Running reports on web browser

We here in HCL Technologies are in the process of deploying Dev
2000 applications on Oracle Web Application Server 3.0 installed
on Window NT 4.0 Server.
I have couple of problems which i am reporting to you & i would
like to seek solution for the same.
1. I am able to create/configure report cartidge and to run
simple reports giving output file of size 20kb. The report is
running & getting displayed on the web browser.
But, if the report output is somewhere in the range of 500 or
more KB, than it is observed that full report output file is
generated in the cache directory, but it is not displayed on the
screen, instead a error "Internal error Try Again " is displayed.
Here are some specifications which might help you resolve this
problem
(A) We are using destype=cache, desformat=html
(B) Our NT Server is having a memory (RAM) of 96 MB.
2. Before running the report we want to display the parameter
form for our report, so that the user can input the required
variable parameters. But, instead it is allowing to pass the
parameters through our URL, which is not desirable.
Please, help us in resolving these problems at the earliest.
Awaiting your response.
Regards,
Navneet

Navneet,
I can't help with problem 1, but I cna help with problem 2. If
you are using html files with links to the reports, you can use
the form tag to create the equivalent of the parameter form.
Example:
<form action="http://mot.com/r30ows">
Select the Vendor for which you would like to see contacts for
<input type="hidden" name="server" value="repserver">
<input type="hidden" name="report" value="contact">
<input type="hidden" name="userid" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="destype" value="cache">
<input type="hidden" name="desformat" value="html">
<select name="v_id">
<option value="1">Computer Discount Warehouse</option>
<option value="2">Micro Warehouse</option>
<option value="3">CompUSA</option>
<option value="4">Oracle Corp.</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Run Report">
</form>
V_id in this example is a user defined parameter.
Hope this has helped you.

Running a Dynpro-based Report as a Job/in Background mode

Hello,
i've got a report which hasn't got a selection-screen as its startscreen, but a complex dynpro and is based on different start-buttons and not only the "basic" F8/Run-Button. the users still would like to be able to run the report in background mode and as an automated weekly job. moreover they want to use their own configuration/variant for date-fields etc., just like they are used from a selection-screen. is this possible "out of the box" with a dynpro-based report or how can i archive this through my own programming logic?
thanks for your help,
dsp

Hi,
I guess yes, but since you seem to have several processes possible at startup (those buttons), you will have to code a new bit of code at the start of your application. This to choose the correct process... you should have a new statement like
IF sy-batch IS NOT INITIAL.
"Perform batch process
ELSE.
"Perform normal run
ENDIF.
For the variant, I'm not sure to really get the idea... Do the users already use variants with the actual version? or is there no selection screen at all? If not, you should use one and set-up parameters to pre-fill your dynpro fields...

Manu
