Saving report output in default path

Hi,
We are using the 6i reports server. We want to save the report output as a file in a default path. We are making the report requests through URL call from within a PL/SQL block. When we give just the filename(this will dynamically be generated for each request) in the DESNAME parameter, it is saving directly into the path where we started the reports server. We don't want to hardcode the required path in the PL/SQL block.
Can't we set the default path for saving the report output during the configuration of the reports server?
Is there any alternative to achieve this, like storing the path(without filename) in any configuration file similar to <servername>.conf in 9i reports server?
Regards,
Milton.

Hi Milton
Try these suggestion and see if they work...
Add ORACLE_HOME/bin in your system PATH and run Reports Server from the folder where you want your output file to be generated.
You could also be storing the "default" path in a config file and use IO packages to read it.
Create a user parameter of character type and do the following in any of the Reports trigger:
:desname := :p_1 || :desname;
You may pass the "default" path on the URL.

Default name for saving report output

Hi,
I created an Oracle Report that is run via the rwservlet. Users will be prompted to view/save the output when destype=cache and desformat=pdf, spreadsheet, or delimiteddata. When they try to save the output, the default file name is rwservlet.pdf (or rwservlet.xls). Is there a way to specify a different default file name? Setting the desname and/or jobname parameter (e.g. desname=temp.pdf) doesn't have any effect. Has anyone found a solution to this?
Thanks,
Brian

Hello,
A solution may be to add a HTTP header "Content-disposition" to the answer sent by the Reports Servlet:
Content-disposition: attachment; filename=fname.ext

Saving Report output to File

Hello,
I remember Portal(first version and WebDB prior to that)
perfectly saving a Report as File even if the Report output
spans multiple pages.
Now I am using the latest version of Portal and I am unable
to save the Report to file when the Report output paginates to
several pages.
It always saves the First Page of Report.
Please throw light through any form of Solution.
Thanks a million

Saving reports output in PDF or Excel

a form with parameters passed. I am also having a problem whem the output is shown in htlm it is wrapped. Is there away to stop this data wrapping process from happening?

Hi Ratheesh,
In a previuos posted message I've suggested to Carla close exactly the same you did after. And also did'nt worked.Anyway, just for your info.
Dear Carlangas (as we say in Mexico, with no offense)
Here is a workaround for you...
As I'm not a JSP expert developer in my case I will do next
It seems we are facing a problem with the DESFORMAT=PDF and report out parameter for your jsp report and requiere a jsp/reports experienced developer help or further investigation. I'm not saying it's not possible to generate a PDF output from a jsp report, but for the moment nobody has said how to.
I believe you saved your report in jsp format because you need your users review the report previuosly they may print it.
I also suppose you have a form with a magic button from where you launch your report.
Well I will call your existing button PREVIUOS or will add a nice gif icon and will create another one called PRINT or with a pretty printer .gif icon. This new button will call a RDF version of your report. As you have read is very easy to create PDF format/output report in RDF format.
Also your will need negotiate presentation with your customer. As you must know reports output in a Paper report, PDF, jsp formats are not always exactly the same because they are not simply the same.
Hope this help you. In the meantime you will save time for your investigation for a future release of your report.

Saving report output on client machine

Hi All,
I'm using reports 6i. I'm running a report on the web which runs 5 reports inside it and it should save the outputs of these five reports in PDF format to the client machine. I can not give mime type as i don't want to show it in the acro. reader. What i want is, silently all these 5 outputs should get saved on the client machine and the main reports should say something like 'The reports generated and saved in c:\...... '. Can somebody help
TIA
Manish

hello,
what you can do, is to run the reports to file on the server in a directory, that is available as virtual path and then use e.g. javascript to fetch these reports.
hope this helps,

Saving report output to a file on the server.

Hi,
We are using BI Publisher Standalone version 10.1.3.3.1.
Is it possible to schedule a report to output to a file on the server?
I want the whole report to be saved as a file on the server.
This is somewhat similar to bursting to a file system, but, I don't want to split the output.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nanda

Yes, use the scheduler and schedule the report,
do the bursting into FTP or
schedule the report to run and run it into FTP as a single FILE.
First option, you need to provide the query , with FTP server name, username, password etcccc.

Urgent - Default path of saving reports when destype = file

Hi,
When I specify the destype = file, the generated report gets
saved in the daefult directory, i.e., the orant/bin.
Now, I want to save the file on a different machine.
I understand that I can do it by specifying the desname =
path/filename.
But I cannot do this, because I don't want to show the whole
path in the URL. Moreover, I cannot give it in teh cgicmd.dat,
because the filename is not static. I want to append a time
stamp etc. to the file name. Is there some way that I can
specify teh path in cgicmd.dat and the file name in the URL?
Or,
is there an environment variable or something where I can
specify the default path where the files should be generated?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Vibha

Hi,
I tried the following:
I did not specify the desname parameter in the cgicmd.dat file
and in the After Parameter Form trigger, I have done:
Begin
:desname := 'e:\Testing.html';
I gave a desname that is not dynamic, just to test. But this,
does not set the desname. The file is still saved in teh
Orant/Bin folder. (default folder).
If I specify some desname in the cgicmd.dat file, then the file
gets saved in that path. What I have specified in the After
Parameter Form trigger does not seem to reset it.
Note: The trigger is being fired, as other things that I am
doing in the same trigger are getting executed.
Please advise.

Vibha

When saving documents from word 2013, the save as dialog shows the default path under "other web locations"

it used to be in the gold ole days of sharepoint 2010 and office 2010 that when I created a document in sharepoint and saved it I would get a dialog, like this (see below) I have also attached a screen shot of the 2013 save dialog (when you save
a document for the first time).
I find it strange that the user actually has to select their "Current Folder" and also that it shows in the dialog as "other web locations" Why can't it be like in the 2010 days where it automically selects the correct location
and the user just hits save. And why does the sharepoint location show up as an "other web location". Is there anything that can be done (through office registry settings or another way) to make this less confusing for our users???
now when I do this in office 2013 I get a dialog like this:
krd

Hi kdube,
I test in SharePoint 2013 again, When I created a new document library and created a first document and clicked save as, I got a same dialog with you that "Current Folder" was under "other web locations".
But when I created a second document and from then on, when I clicked save as, I got a same dialog with myself that "Current Folder" was under "SharePoint".
As I have said, Actually, web locations contain Microsoft SkyDrive and SharePoint libraries. Even the default path under "other web locations", it will not affect the Save As function.

How to reset report output back to default language.

Hello Everyone,
I am working on 11i to R12 up-gradation process.
I need to move some reports from 11i to R12 and resolve bugs which report faces after shifting.
I am working on one report of output type : PDF named 'Delivery Note Report' in SCM-Order Management,
It is a RDF with template report and not XML publisher(there is no separate RTF).
RDF template is prepared with English text.
In 11i report output comes in EN-US(Standard English) language
whereas in R12 it is coming in Kenyan language.
I need to set output language to default EN-US, how can I proceed ?
Thanks
Sudbun

Hello Experts,
I checked user preferences : it is set to EN-US
I checked concurrent program language details : it is American English
I got to know about a file named : uifont.ali (present in middle tier /ora/R12/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/guicommon/tk/admin)
it contains PDF:subset section in it we can specify the particular language/font in which we want output of our report.
I tried replacing this section with default language and restarted report server, even I tried removing that file from middle tier(just for testing purpose).
Can anyone suggest any other approach as still the issue exist.
Kindly reply.

Setting reports default path

Hi buddies...Can we call our reports from a default location specified by us as we call the forms from a default location set in "default.env" file throuh parameter:
FORMS_PATH=F:\Oracle\Dev10g\forms;H:\10g_Tst

Hi!
Cause i don't use oc4j at all and my forms/reports run via IAS at a network share, i am not sure.
In your %dev_home%/reports/conf folder exists the config file rep_your_pcname.conf.
Look for:

Please recognize it is outcommented.

Generate spool req number for report output list

Hi,
How to generate spool request number for report output list while executing the report.Please provide if you have any sample code.
Thanks and Regards,
BSR.

HI srinivas,
welcome to sdn.
Exporting the Contents of a Spool Request
Use
You want to export the content of a spool request in one of the following ways:
·        As a text file to the SAP GUI working directory
·        Unconverted or as a table, RTF, or HTML to a directory of your choice
·        As a PDF file to a directory of your choice
Procedure
Follow the procedure below:
Exporting to the SAP GUI Working Directory
If you are exporting large quantities of data, downloading the spool request as a text file to the SAP GUI working directory is a good solution.
Choose Spool Request ® Forward® Export as Text.
The entire text is stored in your SAP GUI working directory in ASCII format.
A file of this type is named using the following pattern:
.txt
Example: ABC0000004327.txt
You require appropriate authorization for this function from your administrator.
Exporting Unconverted or as a table, RTF, or HTML to a Directory of Your Choice
With this method of exporting a spool request, the content of the spool request is first displayed, and you then download the content in the format of your choice to a directory of your choice.
       1.      Select the spool request to be exported and choose Display Contents.
       2.      In the case of SAPscript/Smart Forms documents, activate list display by choosing Goto.
       3.      Choose System ® List ® Save ® Local File.
       4.      Choose one of the available formats and confirm your choice.
       5.      Choose a directory and save the spool request.
By default, only the first 10 pages of a spool request are saved in a file. You can increase the number of pages to be saved by choosing Goto ® Display Requests ® Settings and making the desired entries in the Display Area group box.
Exporting as a PDF File
You want to export the contents of a spool request as a PDF file to a directory of your choice, and print the file as required. The PDF file contains the print data in the format in which it would be output by the printer.
The following procedure is irrelevant for the printing of PDF-based forms, since a PDF file is already returned with this method. See also Displaying and Printing PDF-Based Forms.
You also require authorization from your administrator to run this report.
The PDF file is generated as follows with report RSTXPDFT4:
       1.      Generate a spool request from the document to be printed.
       2.      In transaction SE38, start report rstxpdft4.
       3.      In the displayed window, enter the spool request number and the directory in which the PDF file is to be stored.
Leave the Download PDF File option selected.
Choose Execute.
       4.      In the next window, you can confirm or change the path in which the file is be stored.
Save your entries.
       5.      The system displays a log from which you can see whether the report was successfully performed.
You can then open the file from the directory and print it as required.
Restrictions for Exporting as a PDF File
·        The PDF conversion only supports true bar codes for Smart Forms, which were generated with the new bar code technology as of SAP NetWeaver 04. In all other cases, the bar code is only simulated.
·        PDF conversion, especially of ABAP lists, is slower and is therefore not suitable for mass printing. However, you can speed up the conversion to PDF using the FASTLISTCONV option in report RSTXPDF3.
·        The font selection for ABAP lists is predefined in the PDF converter and cannot be changed.
For more information about constraints, see SAP Note 323736 in the SAP Service Marketplace
