Running Report via a cron

Hello,
I may be a total nub for asking this, but is there a way to run an oracle report as a batch job such that a .pdf file or .html file is deposited in a directory?
I'm running 9ias, any help would be greatly appreciated.
-Scott

assuming that its on LINUX/UNIX:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/rwclient.sh userid/password REPORT=report_name DESTYPE=PRINTER DESNAME=filename DESFORMAT=PDF BATCH=YES > report_error.log

Run reports via command line

I'm new to Discoverer. I am trying to come up with a batch job so that the operators can run Discoverer reports via the command line.
The issue I am having is that when I issue the command (shown below), its opens up the Discoverer program (its because of the open command). Is there anyway I can issue a command which immediately runs a sheet inside the Discoverer file and exports it to a file without opening Discoverer. Thanks.
/connect ofsa_eulowner/[email protected] /open c:\selvi\customer.dis /sheet sheet1 /export xls c:\selvi\customer.xls

You need to use /batch to run the report.

Running reports via command-line with /batch option

Hi,
I have created a batch file which runs, and exports the results of 7 different discoverer reports with /batch option.
Contents of batch file:
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input1.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input2.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input3.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input4.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input5.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input6.txt"
c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input7.txt"
Sample of a cmd file the bacth file runs:....
/connect user/password@oraprd /apps_responsibility "BIS Super User"
/open "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\Dev\Intransit Extract.dis"
/sheet 1 /export xls "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\Intransit Input.xls" /batch
The batch file runs ok and processes each report in sequence, and creates the excel export one after the other.
However, I need to process the 7 reports in parallel, so changed the batch file to process in own thread :
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input1.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input2.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input3.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input4.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input5.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input6.txt"
start c:\orant\discvr4\dis4usr /cmdfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\automation\DRP Model Input7.txt"
The reports kick off at the same time and I can see 7 dis4usr.exe processes running via task manager
Problem:
The first reports runs and exports ok.
All the others dis4usr.exe processing stops with the following error pop-up:
! Could not open file. OK
Question:
Can you only process reports sequentially via command line mode with /batch option?
If not...what am I missing...its driving me insane :)
All asistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Ladies and gentlemen.....I have solved my problemo!
The reason why the rest of the reports were getting the 'could not open file.' error was due to the fact that each discoverer instance launched was
trying to access the same standard log file simultaneously.
I modified each cmd file to write logging info to individual files: eg
/logfile "H:\Projects\DRP Import Modelling\Automation\input2_log.txt"
Now that's there's no contention with logging, the reports are firing off beautifully in parallel :)
I am definitely having a beer this evening!
Thanks for everyone's input...kept me on the righteous path :)

Identifying long running reports via SQL

I need to generate a list of reports which took longer than a specified duration threshold to run, and I am trying to build a Query Builder select statement which compares the start and execution end time of report instances.
I see from CMC Instance Manager Instance Details Start Time, End Time, and Expiry; comparing to the SQL accessed object properties SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_STARTTIME and SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_ENDTIME the end time maps to the CMC viewed 'Expiry' which doesn't help me, where can I select the value displayed in the CMC viewed Instance Details End Time from?
To state it another way: In Central Management Console - Instance Manager it is possible to filter on "Completion Time". I am looking for the DB object and attribute where this value is stored.

You can get this data from instance Manager also.
Open Instance manager through Chrome, filter it based on your requirement.
Select the Data and copy it.
Paste it in Excel .
You will get the exact data in the same format in excel

Running reports via browser

I am getting this error in my apache error logs when a try to run a report from the browser:
[Wed May 08 10:08:35 2002] [error] Unrecognized character \220 at d:/oracle/isuites/apache/apache/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe line 1.
I am using 9iAS.

jeremy,
did you try to execute the exe from the dos-shell. looks like there is something wrong with it; maybe it got corrupted.

Running Reports via MachDetails.asp?Machine=

We are migrating from SCCM 2007 to 2012 R2.
Embedded all over the company are references to SCCM 2007 reports that are coded like this:
http reporting page/MachDetails.asp?Machine=xxx
This MachineDetails.asp page in IIS of course allows for any machine name to be added (programmatically in our case) and results in the machine name being populated for ALL reports visible in one view. e.g. not just the
Hardware - General\Computer information for a specific computer report, but if we click around from this
MachineDetails.asp page to any other report, the machine name is already populated.
I cannot see an equivalent in SCCM 2012. I realise we are now talking SSRS instead of IIS, however I was wondering if anyone else has used SCCM like this before and what their solution was when cutting over to SCCM 2012?
Thanks in advance!
Steve

I have a solution for you. Send me an email, if you are untreated in testing this out.

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.

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.

Run XML Publisher Report via URL (like Oracle Reports)

Hi All,
Is it possible to run xml-publisher report via URL?
In Oracle Reports works this fine:
http://test:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=test_bihome1&report=test1.rdf&userid=test/testv@db&desformat=pdf&destype=cache
We need this for public reports without user login.
Thanks
Thomas

Thomas,
I was waiting to get home before Tim replied... He got the better of me this time :-)
You say you want to let your users run reports using XMLP just by clicking on an URL same way you do with reports and without having to login. If I got the question right and assuming that:
1.Your company is not overly concerned on who runs what reports
2.Who sees what data
3.Your XMLP installation is on your intranet and firewalled from the outside
What you can do is:
On the main page of your XMLP Enterprise installation you should see a folder called "Guest". Any report you create under this folder is run as user "guest" which means you don't have to authenticate yourself as you would normally do.
I have tested this on my home server and this is what I've done:
1.Logged in as admin or any other user you've created with admin privileges created a report under the "Guest" folder.
2.Copied the URL, on my server it is "http://samba.private.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo"
4.Logged off as admin and pasted the URL to a new browser window
5.Hit return and Voila, my report runs without the need to login to XMLP.
Hope this helps. Let us know how you got on.
Cheers,
Joao
PS: If you want to see the report for yourself here's the URL from the outside: http://medeiros.homelinux.net:15101/xmlpserver/Guest/People/People.xdo
I'll keep the link alive for a couple of days.

How to run the report via application server

Report not running?
hi All,
I am calling the report via forms, In application server i had recompiled the reports in two different format too.
1. myreports.rep
2. myreports.jsp
I have called the report from the menu and i used code like below
Declare
      V_id Varchar2(100);
Begin
    V_id := Run_Report_Object('myreports');
End;but i am getting following error.
Frm-41219:Cannot find report:Invalid ID.and subsequently an another too.
Frm-40738:Argument 1 to builtin RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be null.please guide me
kanish

I using Forms 10g R2, i store the recompile version in Application server.
Good, so you can refer to the metalink note I mentioned above, as per storing the reports in the application server, the default place for running reports is not a folder in the FORMS_PATH, the REPORTS_PATH is set in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh file, pointing by default to the sample folder - $ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo, for testing purposes you can put your report there and try it again, or you can modify the REPORTS_PATH variable in the reports.sh file to point to the directory you were mentioning.
Note: I am calling the report throug menu using the eariler posting code.
I would recommend to create a Form to call the Report, I am not sure if there are restrictions about invoking a report directly from the menu.
About the code, you are missing a lot there, refer to metalink note mentioned above, here is an excerpt from that document.
PROCEDURE TEST_REPORT IS
repid      REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep      VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object('report5');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'repserver90');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no pdeptno='||:dept.deptno);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
    LOOP
      rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
    END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
    /*Display report in the browser*/
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://<YourServerName:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
   substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver90','_blank');
ELSE
    message('Error when running report');
END IF;
END;
In my eariler version 6i (2 tier) when i call the report it invoke parameter form. will 10g also behave same like 6i?
Yes, there is still a parameter Form which runs in an HTML page.
*1. Should i want to create any Report_Path, Report_classpath ? if yes ,where should i ?* It will depend on your configuration, the easiest way is to setup the REPORTS_PATH in the $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh file, if you are configuring the reports server to use environment ids, that would not work and you would need to setup the REPORTS_PATH directly in the reports engine configuration file .. $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/rwserver.template.

Error when trying to run delivery report via OWA

When I click 'search' to run a Delivery Report via OWA I get the error "Sorry! We're having trouble processing your request at the moment. PLease try again in a few minutes".
It does this contstantly no matter how many times I try. And it's not as if the server is struggling with resources or anything, that's fine.
The following event shows up in the server event log too at the same time I try to run a report:
Event ID 12014
Microsoft Exchange could not find a certificate that contains the domain name NMSMAIL01.nms2k.int in the personal store on the local computer. Therefore, it is unable to support the STARTTLS SMTP verb for the connector Applications and Printers with a FQDN
parameter of NMSMAIL01.nms2k.int. If the connector's FQDN is not specified, the computer's FQDN is used. Verify the connector configuration and the installed certificates to make sure that there is a certificate with a domain name for that FQDN. If this certificate
exists, run Enable-ExchangeCertificate -Services SMTP to make sure that the Microsoft Exchange Transport service has access to the certificate key.
I wonder if anyone has had this particular error when running delivery ports. I don't want to caryr out any changes until I'm sure it's the right thing i'm doing for the right reason.
Thank you

Hi,
If the issue persists, I recommend you follow the steps below for troubleshooting:
1. Please stop all the Exchange services on CAS Server and then stop IIS by running the iisreset/stop command.
2. Locate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET, delete all the files and folders after taking a backup.
3. Start all Exchange services on CAS Server and then start the IIS by running iisreset/start command.
4. Locate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files, once user logon via OWA and then go to Options, new folders like OWA, ECP, will get created automatically.
After the above settings, please check if users can run delivery report via OWA.
Hope it helps.
Best regards,
Amy Wang

Fin Reports - Error when trying to run a report via Workspace - 11.1.1.3

I can run the report via the client. But when any user tries and runs it via workspace we get:

Have you done any reinstall activities or applied patches recently? I have seen this when I was patching a multi server environment where the reporting server had one patch level but the fr web had the old patch level. I would inspect the sizes and dates of your financial reporting jar files on the different servers to ensure they match.

Run Reports from WebSite via the Report Server

How do I run reports stored on the Reports Server via hyperlink
from a WebPage ?? Pls. help!

You can achieve by two way
One :
srw.set_hyperlink('http://servername/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?
run+report=reportname+userid=scott/tiger@hostname+destype=cache+d
esformat=htmlcss+server=report_server_name+parameter 1
= '||:deptno);
you will have to make dev60cgi as virtual directory
two :
web.show_document('cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe?
run+report=run+report=reportname+userid=scott/tiger@hostname+dest
ype=cache+desformat=htmlcss+server='||report_server_name'
||'+parameter=yes');
you will have to make cgi-bin (your oracle2home ) as virtual
directory

Running OP Manager reports via SSRS

I am trying to run reports from SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), Can you please advise what values I put in the text boxes. I had put in the values as below and got an error
"The value provided for the report parameter
'EndDate_OffsetValue' is not valid for its type"
Start Date Base = Sunday
Start Date Offset Type = Week
Start Date Offset = -1
End date Base = Saturday
End Date Offset Type = Week
End date Offset = -1
Time Zone = GMT +2
Week Days = Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday
I have not been given access to the OP Manager console hence I cant run the report from there.
Please advise.

Hi,
Would you please try another value such as "1","0", and check the result.
In addition, this issue is really SQL related, please also post on the SQL forum.
