Set Desname for PDF using Oracle Applications

We are running Oracle Applications 11i, 8i database on a Unix box and use windows 2000, internet explorer, acrobat 6.0 to run, and view the reports.
I just finished redesigning a Oracle report to output to PDF instead of printing on a preprinted form.
The user has requested that the output file (Report) be saved to a specific directory on a server that is on the windows platform.
The report is being run from the concurrent manager inside of Oracle Applications, which seems to be over writing my desname that is specified in my report (rdf). Our current workaround is that the user opens the file in acrobat and save it to the desired directory, which they have to set manually for each session.
Is there a way to run a report on UNIX and output the report to a windows directory?
Thanks in advance...

There is a better workaround than opening an saving on desktop...I have never tried this but have an idea...that would work 100%.
The standard configuration of apps 11i is that the output file is placed in $APPLCSF/out and its on the Unix Box...but if u have apps running on NT environemnt then just share the file system of $APPLCSF with the desktop...Pretty simple....
If apps is running on Unix then u need to install software like Samba on Unix so that the desktop will be able to share the file system of unix on desktop....
Try it out...
Best of luck

    Hi,
    There is definitely a table called HSP_LOCK in the planning applications repository, are you sure you are looking in the correct place.
    Anyway there is also a utility (HspUnlockApp) in the \planning\bin directory that should unlock the app and will save you having to mess around with any tables, more details :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hp_admin/ch04s02.html

  • SQL types over PLSQL types while using Oracle Applications adapter in BPEL

    Use SQL types over PL/SQL types while using Oracle Applications adapter
    in BPEL/ ESB
    This document will be focusing on Oracle Applications adapter. However Database adapter is much like OA adapter (even OA adapter uses DB Adapter), so the readers who are interested to explore DB adapters, can relate things with this document and go further as well.
    Some Guidelines for writing PL/SQL APIs for OA Adapter
    As we know when we create a partner link from the OA adapter wizard it sometimes writes some wrapper script supportive to the OA Adapter WSDL which contains below
    * Object type for PL/SQL RECORD
    * Nested table of the given type for PL/SQL TABLE. For example, the nested table of NUMBER.
    * INTEGER substituted for PL/SQL BOOLEAN
    * Wrapper Script for converting above three set of data types . (PLSQL to SQL and SQL to PLSQL conversion functions)
    In runtime this wrapper script for converting PL/SQL to SQL and SQL to PL/SQL is an extra overhead.
    So the first advice would be to avoid the use of the below as parameters of PLSQL API being called by OA Adapter.
    * PL/SQL RECORD
    * PL/SQL TABLE. For example, the nested table of NUMBER.
    * PL/SQL BOOLEAN
    In other way we can say we should try to use only SQL data types in arguments if we are planning to call any PL/SQL API from the OA Adapter.
    If the requirement is to use a table or record uses the Object type. In place of BOOLEAN better to use VARCHAR or INTEGER what ever fulfills your requirement. Following this guideline we can reduce a huge number of Line of codes to be run each time the adapter being called.
    Generally, Oracle E-Biz standard APIs use PL/SQL record types and table types so when there is a requirement to call these API’s from OA Adapter (this is a common requirement in development), and if we directly browse the API in OA Adapter Configuration Wizard and create the partner link, again a huge number of code is written by the wizard in the wrapper script (a number of extra mapping of fields which are not being used in the interface).
    In this case better would be to create an Object type with only the required fields which are being used in that call and use them as parameters for the PLSQL API.

  • How to create a deployable ejb(.jar file) when we use Oracle application sever?

    Hi,
    In case if we use Weblogic we give following command on console to create a deployable ejb, while weblogic.jar is in classpath.
    java weblogic.ejbc temp.jar StudentBean.jar
    1)What are the classes or jar files we have to set in classpath,
    2)What console based command(like what I mentioned above for weblogic) can we use,
    so that we can create a deployable jar file in case if we are using Oracle application server.
    thanks,

    You can discover the origins of a loaded class programatically. You want to print:

    In R12, I came to know that we can increment GL Period also using Oracle Application Concurrent Program scheduler.
    We have a requirement to schedule 'Account Analysis Report' for different legal entities. We would need to increment GL Periof for each department.
    In 11i, we can not increment GL Period.
    Is there a way, to increment GL Period to schedule 'Account Analysis Report'
    Please advise.

  • C-Plus set bookmark for PDF to FO_PgfFmt when FO_PgfFmt is defined in master page

    Using the following across all documents in a book
    pgfId = F_ApiGetNamedObject(docId, FO_PgfFmt, "100_TOC_Header01");
    F_ApiSetInt(docId, pgfId, FP_AcrobatLevel, 1);
    pgfId = F_ApiGetNamedObject(docId, FO_PgfFmt, "010_01_00_Heading01");
                            F_ApiSetInt(docId, pgfId, FP_AcrobatLevel, 2);
    F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_DocAcrobatElements, False);
    F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFBookmark, True);   
    F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFBookmarksOpenLevel, FV_PDFBookmarksOpenAllLevels);
    F_ApiSetInt( bookId, docId, FP_PDFRegistrationMarks, FV_PDFRegistrationMarksNone);
    F_ApiSimpleSave(docId, F_ApiGetString(FV_SessionId, docId, FP_Name), False);
    to set bookmarks for PDF when doing a save as PDF on the book.
    This works for all FO_PgfFmt's defined in the document except when the FO_PgfFmt is defined in a master page.
    Is there some setting that is needed to get bookmarks from master page FO_PgfFmt's?
    Or is there some setting that needs to be done on the master page to get the bookmark set?
    Any advice or directions would be helpful.
    Using FrameMaker 7.1 on Windows 7.

    Whoever created the Master Page didn't know what they were doing from a workflow perspective. There should never be live content on a Master page.
    The title is placed in a background frame on what is probably defined as the "First" master page and is only used once in your document. It would have been better if this was a variable (it might be, have you checked?) and then you could get at the content easily.
    Option 1: In order to use FM's internal bookmark generation tools, you will need to get that content onto the Body page and into the same flow (and at the correct location) in order to have it appear at the correct location in the Bookmarks panel of the PDF.
    From a programming point of view you will probably need to do the following.
    1. Get the text string from the background frame on the specific Maser Page in the document
    2. Create a custom colour that will be applied to the Text in order to render it "invisible" on the Body page using FM's Color Views option (set the colour to the Invisible column in the View number for the document). (FM will still know that it is there but will not display nor output that string). You could also have this pre-defined in a template and import the template into all files in the book (including the desired paratag for that paragraph on the Master page).
    3. Insert an an anchored frame (outside of text frame position) at the start of the flow.
    4. Insert a text frame into that anchored frame
    5. Insert the text string from the background text frame
    6. Apply the appropriate paratag that uses the Invisible colour for the text
    7. You can now add the paratag to the bookmark list and generate the PDF.
    Option 2: Create the bookmark code directly using pdfmark commands in a postscript text frame on the Body page. Postscript text frame contents are interpreted by Distiller from the output and do not display.
    1. Get the text string from the background frame in the document
    2. Insert an an anchored frame (outside of text frame position) at the start of the flow.
    3. Insert a postscript text frame into that anchored frame
    4. Insert the bookmark pdfmark code including the text from step 1.
    Sample pdfmark code:
    [/Title (the string from the background text frame here) [options for font, colour and hierarchy] /OUT pdfmark
    The minimum info required is in bold.

  • Workspace Issue Using Oracle Application Server

    Dear All,
    I've configured my Workspace using Oracle Application Server and now I can login to my workspace through this url http://<servername>:7777/workspace/.
    But somehow, at my workspace home, I cannot find the folder or Explore inside, which is to see my Financial Reporting.
    I'm login using admin and the privileged is already for administrator.
    Is there anyone ever face this problem..??

    1. Correct the following path
    extension_dir = "D:/php/ext"
    (if your php is installed in D:/php, the above path is correct.
    2. Find the line ;extension=php_oci8.dll
    delete comment sign (;) and it will be :

  • Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle

    Hi Gurus
    I Need your help Please
    I need to get Volumes and Qtrees set up for SAP and Oracle.
    I found a document from NetApp that helped a lot about the structure.
    But what I donu2019t know and canu2019t find anywhere is sizing for the volumes and Qtrees.
    I really need some guidelines on sizing these below:
    FlexVol saplog
    /usr/sap/SID
    /usr/sap/trans
    /sapmnt/SID
    /home/SIDadm
    /oracle/SID
    /oracle/SID/origlogA

    /oracle/SID/sapdataN
    FlexVol mirrlogs
    /oracle/SID/mirrlogA
    /oracle/SID/mirrlogB
    Thanks and appreciate your help

    > I have gone through the Inst Guide and I was surprised to see only 50 MB for Oracle software directory ?
    Where did you read that?
    > The sizing given in Installation guide is for typical setup or do we need to size as per our requirement ?
    The sizing give there is for the initial system setup. It does not contain customer specific requirements.
    The usual process is:
    - you contact your hardware vendor
    - you use http://service.sap.com/quicksizer together with him and fill in the data
    - the hardware vendor will offer you the storage and the machines for the setup
    - the vendor configures with you the storage and the necessary filesystem layout based on that sizing
    Each customers setup is different and requires the experience and knowledge from the respective hardware vendor how to set up the system so it performs well.
    You can follow the suggestions given here, this will be enough for the initial setup but the system will grow. This is not taken into account in the installation guide because it's customer specific.

  • Setting PREFIX for DIMENSION_TABLE using OMB Scripting

    I'm trying all day to find a way to set PREFIX for DIMENSION_TABLE
    using OMB script without success and I'm a little confused now.
    First of all Scripting Reference does not mention about PREFIX
    property so maybe there is no way to achieve what I want. Consequently
    it would mean that GUI interface is "stronger" than OMB Scripting.
    Secondly I don't understand why when I issue following command in OMB
    Plus:
    OMBDESCRIBE CLASS_DEFINITION 'DIMENSION_TABLE' GET PROPERTY_DEFINITIONS
    I get nothing (empty output, no errors) and when I execute:
    OMBDESCRIBE CLASS_DEFINITION 'DIMENSION_TABLE' GET PROPERTIES
    (STEREOTYPE, IS_ABSTRACT, DESCRIPTION)
    I get:
    class false {}
    First result suggests that there are no properties for DIMENSION_TABLE
    and second proves that there are at least three.
    Is there some type/properties inheritance here?
    Can someone explain me this and tell how can I:
    1. find all valid types (I would like to set prefix for LEVEL,
    LEVEL_ATTRIBUTE, etc. too)
    2. find all properties for these types
    regards
    Tomasz Gajewski

    You misunderstood me. I don't want to rename DIMENSION_TABLE. When creating DIMENSION_TABLE with gui I set NAME and PREFIX for each DIMENSION_TABLE and LEVEL.
    PREFIX for level is used later during deploy to distinguish attributes from different levels.
    Example. If I have a level named LEVEL_NAME with prefix LN and an attribute of it named ID than table generated for this contains column LN_ID.
    When I create DIMENSION_TABLE using OMB Script prefix is set same as name (default behaviour that I can't change) and it is to long to use.
    Scripting Reference doesn't mention about PREFIX property. Should I assume that the only way to change these values are through OWB GUI?
    regards

  • Firefox 17.0 for Mac OS X missing Preferences- Applications- Preview Doc (application/PDF) entry to set behavior for PDF files

    I want to set Firefox to automatically download or save a PDF without the panel coming up to ask me. However, when I go to Firefox->Preferences->Applications there is no entry for PDF files to set it to open or save the file without asking me (i.e., no Preview Document (application/PDF).
    I am using Firefox 17.0 with Mac OS X 10.6.8 using Intel Core 2 Duo

    I have .pdf associated with Preview. The issue is that in Firefox->Preferences-> Application tab does NOT contain an entry for Preview Document ((application/PDF) which is needed to do an association that will occur automatically every time Firefox encounters a doc of that type. (the application tab has Preview Document (image/<6 types>) but no entry for the PDF format.

  • Questions on setting up a portal using oracle

    hi,
    i want to use oracle to set up a portal which is open to public and each user can register to setup their own account (with their own userid & password) and store their profile. At the same time, my application will periodically perform some tasks based on the values in some columns in the user's profile. Which is the best way to do this?
    1. Oracle8i db + Webdb?
    If i use this method, how do i implement the login method for the users? Will userid & password be just one of the fields in the user table? OR should each user be created and given an oracle user account?
    how to get userid & password fr. login form for verification so that i can show them their own profiles? any info on where can i find how to implement this will be much appreciated.
    2. Oracle8i db + Application Server
    I know this is a better approach (3-tier architecture). Where can i find info on how to implement the user login form and show them their own profile?
    thanks in advance. any help is appreciated.

    Marcus,
    I can't answer your specific question but I suggest you browse some of the OAS and WebDB documentation. Click the documentation link on the left of this page. You could also take a look at some of the technical white papers available at www.oracle.com.

  • Automatically generate PDF from Oracle Applications web forms

    Hi,
    One can configure Oracle Applications to use a template (PDF, XSL, etc) for a certain web form, which basically allows the user to manually click a button on the form to Export it.
    On the other hand, how to do this automatically? In other words, is it possible to automatically export a form to PDF, and store it in DB, after a user inserts data?
