Servlet retrieves pdf content stored in oracle and sends this content

I have pdf content stored in an oracle database. The database column type is LONG RAW. I am retrieving the contents using jdbc's getBinaryStream. The content type is set to pplication/pdf. When the code is executed, the acrobat is launched but the content is not displayed. After analyzing the contents retrieved from the database, I discovered that characters were missing. I replicated the same code in a different language and it was working.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, how was it resolved.
Any ideas or comments would be appreciated.

What is the character set of the Oracle db that you are using. I would suggest that you try to set the char set to Unicode and try.

Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash

hi all and adobe forum team
im download felx bulder 3 and make a new flex project ....
its ok
but when i want to run my project i take empty page with the
error code " Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This
content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash "
that error mean i havent flash player on my pc
but i have because it will installed by default with adobe
flex builder, and flash cs3 on my pc, and im installed it from
adobe web site, and im installed it from cd
but without any result, i have same the error when i want to
run my flext project
i take "Alternate HTML content should be placed here. This
content requires the Adobe Flash Player. Get Flash "
plz help me why
note: im using windows vista ulimate

I had the same problem.
After I've installed new flash player version 9.0.60.120.
I've got the same error.
I'm using Korean windows. Maybe that's the problem. I don't
know yet.
I will test on English machine tomorrow.
Anyway,
Problem is caused by version detaction javascript.
In AC_OETags.js file, there is ControlVersion() function.
Inside of that function,
axo = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.7");
this line throw error with catching but do nothing.
So, overall javascript recognize flash player as version 2.0
and something.
I testd this on firefox 2.0.0.4 and IE 7.0.5730.11.
There are all Korean version and failed.
But Safri beta version for Window works fine.
This does not have any Korean version yet. That's why I
assume maybe
that's causing the problem.
So, I guess Adobe people will do something for this, but if
you want to
run it right now without this error message.
Easiest way is just turn off that Flash player version
detection in
project properties > Flex Complier > HTML wrapper.
Uncheck Require Flash player version.
Or edit your Javascript by yourself in
html-template>AC_OETags.js.
like below;
axo = new ActiveXObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash");
I hope this will be solved quickly.

and then use archiving object to store the photo i have explained you as an example
You have to create a content repository "A2" or another . You have to follow then next steps :
Create a content repository with storage type FILE archive.
Tcode OAC0
IMG: Basis Components Basis Services SAP Archive Link Basic Settings Maintain content repositories
(Embedded image moved to file: pic00041.pcx)
Swap from display to amend. Select a current entry and 'copy' or just hit 'create'. Then select .
(Embedded image moved to file: pic18467.pcx)
Then fill in the details as below:
Choose a two char name
Set DocArea to be 'Archive Link'
Storage type FILE archive (see Note below on how to get this!)
Choose Version no. 0031
Enter the path name where the photos are to be loaded from. Note this is for loading only. When the photos are linked into the sap system (see later), actually, SAP takes a 'copy' and stores it elsewhere. The path may only need to be entered to 'Arch.path', but entering to all three doesn't seem to hurt.
Note on storage type:
Storage type 'FILE archive' may not be in the dropdown list, and F4 (poss entries) may not work! If this is the case, click on the field Storage type (left mouse button) and then click the right mouse button. Choose Possible entries and a full list of all
possible storage types is shown. FILE archive is entry number 08 and then
Check which content repository (Archive) is linked to document type HRICOLFOTO in object type PREL.
Tcode OAC3
Table TOAOM_C
IMG: Basis Components Basis Services SAP Archive Link Basic Settings Maintain Links
(Embedded image moved to file: pic06334.pcx)
Set the 'Content R' field to the one you've just set in the step above.
Note the Ret.per. field is the retention period for the photo in MONTHS. (so the default is 833 years and 3 months!)
Now you can link the photo to the employee.
Pls reward pts if found usefull :)

Reg. PDF file stored in oracle server directory

Dear All ,
How to stored PDF generated file in oracle server directory.
Thanks & Regards
shailesh

You need a directory object in Oracle for that server directory. That directory needs to be accessible (permission/ACL wise) to the local database processes to read/write from/
The schema that will be doing the read/write using that directory object, needs read/write privs on it.
UTL_FILE is used by PL/SQL code to write database contents to file.

Extracting the DML queries by LCR in Oracle and send them over to IBM MQ

Hi,
My question is mostly about the concept of LCR (logical change recortds in Oracle Streams)
I want to extract any DML script which has been applied to one specific table, but i don't want to apply this DML anywhere , I just want to send it over by AQ in oracle and then
the MQ queues in IBM will recieve it.
I don't know what the Mainframe guys are going to do with it but my task is to just send them the script?
Do you think it's possible using the LCRs?
Thanks in advance for comments!

I had implemented such a setup few months back and it works fine except for some performance issues.
you'll need to implement oracle streams and oracle messaging gateway for this propagation.
below mentioned are the generalized steps:
>>capture changes from redo log for the table by creating a capture process.
>>store these messages in the staging area of advanced queues, which in turn are queues themselves.
>>use apply process to enqueue these messages onto messaging gateway queue.
>>the messages can be transported to Websphere MQ by creating propagation jobs, foreign queue links, messaging gateway agents etc.
you can figure out the basic details using the link mentioned below.

SAP BW data in ODS to XML and sending this XML file to 3rd Party

Hi Gurus,
We are having a scenario in which we have to convert our data in ODS to XML and need to provide this XML file to our clients so that they can use this XML file in their 3rd party system.
Now the issue is that i have created ABAP program for converting into XML.
If I execute this program, since i have given path as my Desktop, the converted XML file gets saved on my Desktop.
But the problem is how i can provide this XML file to the client.
Is there any way of converting this XML file to html and send them the URL ......
plz suggest me.... what can be done......
my ABAP code u can see in the following link

Can I retrieve a result set from Oracle and then incorporate that result set into my main SQL Server Stored Procedure?

So I have a chunk of data that only resides in Oracle. So I need to capture that information from Oracle. Now before you get over zealous, I did try with an OPENQUERY and it took FOREVER! And I don't know why the OPENQUERY took FOREVER but if I run the same
query directly against Oracle it runs very quickly...like 20 seconds.
So now I'm wondering...can I build a dataset in my SSRS Report that uses an Oracle Data source and an Oracle Stored Procedure in its Dataset that I'll create to aggregate this subset of data and then utilize its result set back in my main reporting
Dataset that will utilize SQL Server? And how can I do that? Can I make my main Dataset reference, say, a #TemporaryTable that is created from my Oracle Dataset in its
I'll continue to Google a few things as I await your review and hopefully a reply.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi ITBobbyP,
According to your description you want to use data from a Oracle data source into a DataSet which retrieving data from SQL Server. Right?
In Reporting Services, we can have multiple data sources in one project pointing to different database. And we can use separated dataset to retrieve data from different data source. However, it's not supported to combine the two datasets together
directly. We can only use Lookup(), LookupSet() function to combine fields from different dataset into one tablix when there are common columns between two datasets. This is the only way to make tow result sets together in SSRS.

Lookup Function (Report Builder and SSRS)

I have created external directory and am able to load pdf files in oracle database table called test_blob.
CREATE TABLE test_blob (
id NUMBER(15)
, file_name VARCHAR2(1000)
, image BLOB
, timestamp DATE
I have 2 pdf files in the table. I want to view this pdf from forms when the user clicks on the button. On when-button-pressed trigger I want to show pdf on the screen. Any help is appreciated. Not on the designer. I want to run form application.
SELECT id, file_name,
DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(image) Length,
timestamp
FROM test_blob
ID|FILE_NAME|LENGTH|TIMESTAMP

We were able to do the same thing with Oracle Application Server and Oracle WebLogic Server. I cannot remember how different the processes were, but it seems like they were very similar. I am going to give you the instructions on how we implemented a "Read PDF" procedure on the WebLogic Server. If you are still on the Application Server you may have to do some Google searches, but it all boils down to the mod_plsql DAD Configuration file.
Our PDF was located in a table with the following structure:
CASE_DOCUMENTS
 (id_document NUMBER NOT NULL,
 doc_blob BLOB,
 note VARCHAR2(240),
 created_by VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
 created_dt DATE NOT NULL,
 case_id NUMBER NOT NULL,
 filename VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL)Based on that table structure we created a procedure named READ_PDF which you will reference below in the dads.conf file below:
CREATE or REPLACE procedure read_pdf (p_id_document IN number)
is
view_file blob;
BEGIN
select doc_blob
 into view_file
 from case_documents
 where id_document = p_id_document;
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER ('APPLICATION/PDF', FALSE);
HTP.P ('CONTENT-LENGTH: ' || DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH (view_file));
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (view_file);
END;
GRANT EXECUTE ON read_pdf TO financial_user_role -- Name of role to execute
/Basically, you are passing in one parameter and that is the primary key for your table. You are selecting the pdf stored in a BLOB for that primary key. The commands below that allow the pdf to open up so you can view it – we got this off some search we did a few years ago.
Now, you need to add logic to your Oracle Form that will call the procedure above, but the URL is based on the dads.conf file that we will set up below… Anyway, we created a button on the form module with a label of "View". In the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger the logic looks like this:
-- The View logic uses the DAD (Database Access Descriptors) method to view a .pdf file from the form.
-- The DAD was created on WebLogic Server with the name findadgen. This allows an http request be made
-- to the database.
declare
v_file varchar2(400);
v_success boolean;
ret_val number;
v_http_link varchar2(400);
begin
-- The format of the link is as follows: hostname:port/pls/DAD_name/procedure_name
v_http_link := 'http://finas03:8888/pls/findadgen/read_pdf?p_id_document=' || :case_documents.id_document;
web.show_document(v_http_link, '_BLANK');
end;The name of our WebLogic Server is "finas03" so that is what is listed in the URL. The "findadgen" is the name of the <Location> in the dads.conf file below, the "read_pdf" is the name of the procedure we created above, the "p_id_document=" is the IN parameter listed in the READ_PDF procedure created above, and the ":case_documents.id_document" is the reference to the primary key in our Oracle Form.
For WebLogic, you can either go through Enterprise Manager (directions below) or update the dads.conf file on the filesystem directly (if you update the dads.conf file directly then skip to step 4 and ignore step 5):
1. Enterprise Manager -> Web Tier -> ohs1
2. Oracle HTTP Server (pull-down) – Administration – Advance Configuration
3. Select File – dads.conf
4. Add something similar:
# ============================================================================
# mod_plsql DAD Configuration File
# ============================================================================
# 1. Please refer to dads.README for a description of this file
# ============================================================================
# Note: This file should typically be included in your plsql.conf file with
# the "include" directive.
# Hint: You can look at some sample DADs in the dads.README file
# ============================================================================
<Location /pls/findadgen>
 SetHandler pls_handler
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from All
 AllowOverride None
 PlsqlDatabaseUsername financial
 PlsqlDatabasePassword sdo_3#d1
 PlsqlDatabaseConnectString ffindbTNSFormat
 PlsqlNLSLanguage AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
 PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
 PlsqlDefaultPage read_pdf
</Location>You are adding the <Location> section to your dads.conf file. The "finddadgen" is the name that you will reference in a change you fill make to your Oracle Form. The "financial" is the Schema, the "sdo_3#d1" is the password for that Schema, the "ffindb" is the database that the stored procedure is located on, and the "read_pdf" is a stored procedure you will have to create in order to read the pdf.
5. Press the "Apply" Button
6. Obfuscate the DAD password by running the dadTool.pl script located in $ORACLE_HOME/bin (This was done on Unix on our server with the following commands):
$> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$> cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$> perl dadTool.pl -f /u01/app/oracle/middleware/asinst_1/config/OHS/ohs1/mod_plsql/dads.conf
7. Restart the Oracle HTTP Server using Fusion Middleware Control:
Enterprise Manager -> Web Tier -> ohs1
Oracle HTTP Server – Control – Shutdown
Oracle HTTP Server – Control – Start Up
If you followed the instructions above, you should have created a stored procedure, added logic to your Oracle form to reference that stored procedure, and created an entry in the dads.conf file. Once you move the form onto the server and you restart the HTTP Service, you should be able to view a pdf that is stored in a table directly from your Oracle Form.

I need to make a pdf form that is fillable and send from ipad to email not tracked just the complete email. Can someone help me.

I have forms that I have created with submit buttons, that are filled out and sent complete to an email box. I would like to do the same only have my form filled out on an ipad and then have the submit button send the completed form the same way.
I don't want to gather the data, since i am doing this for another department. They want to track there own data via the Pdf's they receive. Is this possible?

majende,
Adobe Reader for iOS does support a Submit button.
(a) Button action to submit an entire PDF document via email
(b) JavaScript submitForm to Adobe FormsCentral
Do you use the desktop version of Adobe Acrobat to create a PDF form?
For option (a)
Add the "Submit a form" action to your Submit button.
Enter "mailto:" (including a colon) followed by email recipient(s). Please add a comma between two email addresses.
Example: [email protected], [email protected]
Select "PDF The complete document".
This particular type of PDF form will work with Adobe Reader desktop and mobile products (including Adobe Reader for iOS and Android).
In Adobe Reader for iOS, a user can do the following steps to submit the particular type of PDF form.
Fill out the PDF form.
Tap the Submit button in the PDF form.
Select "Share Original Document" or "Share Flattened Copy" from the Share File dialog.
Adobe Reader for iOS will automatically fill in the email address(es) that you specified when you created the PDF form.
Tap the Send button in the upper right corner.
Adobe Reader for iOS will send the PDF form as an email attachment via Apple Mail (the default mail app for iOS).
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

Acrobat error message when trying to open a .pdf, usine Acrobat 6.0 and need this version for distiller function.

Have Acrobat 6.0 and 9.0 installed. I need 6.0 for distiller function. Whenever I try to open a .pdf file in a site I get an error message that Acrobat has a problem and the file will not open.

Good day,
You can initiate a Repair installation from Control Panel > Programs by clicking on the Acrobat 9 installation, choosing 'Change' then following the prompts for a repair install.
I missed the part where you mentioned the error was occurring on launch. Sorry about that.
Kind regards,
David
