Setting reports_path

Can someone please tell me the steps to set up reports_path in em reports.sh. Also, is there a way to configure in em rwserver.conf.

Hi,
From the reports.sh file you asked i conclude you are using Linux, so reports.sh is located at ORACLE_INSTANCE/bin.
Just localize REPORTS_PATH variable and append the new path to it.
Hope this helps
Regards
Carlos

Set reports_path in AS 10g

Hi everyone,
I am having a problem setting the reports_path on AS 10g. I changed the environment variable to C:\ORACLE\ORAWINFRS\REPORTS on a windows 2003 machine. That's where my reports are saved.
But, when I try to run a report from a form, it can not find it. Also, when I run this http://......:7778/reports/rwservlet/showenv... to see the environment variables for the report server. I do not see my new setting as part of the reports_path. This is whats in my
REPORTS_PATH :
C:\oracle\orawinfrs\reports\templates;C:\oracle\orawinfrs\reports\samples\demo;C:\oracle\orawinfrs\reports\integ;C:\oracle\orawinfrs\reports\printers;
Is there another place where I can set reports_path in the AS10g?
Thanks for your help in advance!

With a Report invoked via URL, such as http://host/reports/rwservelet..., I believe what you are looking for is in the %OH%\reports\conf\rep_(hostname).conf. In that file under <engine id="rwEng", there is a sourceDir property, which is the directory path for the reports. You will need to uncomment this tag after you put in the directory path. Example:
<property name="sourceDir" value="d:\abc\def\reports"/>
You can access this file via Middle Tier Enterprise Manager, then select Reports Server: rep_hostname, then select Edit Configuration File. What you are editing is the file mentioned above. It will require a restart of the report server.
Hope that works for you. Regards, John

Setting 'REPORTS_PATH' for 10g

hi
i wanna to call a report from a form(10g). I know i have to set REPORTS_PATH to define the path of reports. The problem is that, I have my reports on other machine than application server. if i set the reports_path for local machine's reports, it works properly, but i m unable to set the reports_path for remote machine e.g.
REPORTS_PATH=\\macine_name\folder_name
thanks

You can use UNC notation in reports_path, but the user that runs the reports server must be able to access this directory.
If you are running on Windows, the service is likely to run under LocalSystem, which has no access to remote directories. Run the service as a real domain user.

Setting REPORTS_PATH on a 9i AS AIX environment

Hi
Can someone tell me where you set REPORTS_PATH on a 9i AS AIX environment?

It's all in the documentation:

Urgent . where to set reports_path to use with find_report_object

Hello,
I'm not sure it is possible but I want to execute a report from forms without having to create a report object at design time in the object navigator, or do I have to create a dummy?
I thought it could be created at runtime and the find_report_object would just look for the given name in the reports_path.
I looked up this path by going to http://w3gvb772:7778/reports/rwservlet/showenv?server=tgcrep772 is my repservername and checking the reports_path entry. I putted the report there to be sure I'm using the right path but it doesn't work?
So questions are:
Do i have to create a dummy object in the navigator bar at design time?
Can a report_object be created at runtime and how?
How can I change the default reports_path given in the link above?
I have already an environment id added with the reports path but apparently this is not taken into account when running find_report_object
Thanks for the help

Hello,
REPORTS_PATH is a variable used by the Reports Server. You cannot set it in the Forms envFile . (Or you can set it, but it will not be taken into account by the Reports Server...)
It was possible in the previous versions when the Reports runtime (rwrun60 for example) was launched by Forms to execute a Reports.

REPORTS_PATH in 10g

Hello!
I need to configurate REPORTS_PATH in AS.
I had add this key in env file, but it doesn't work.
What i need to do?
Thanks!

Hello,
envFile are used by Forms runtime. The Reports Server is not started by the Forms runtime, so , it will not inherit the environments variables.
On Windows, you can set REPORTS_PATH in the registry
On UNIX, you can set it in the script ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh
You can set it too, in the Reports Server Configuration file :

Need two different reports_path in AS 10g

Hi,
I have AS 10g with one Report-Service and
I do need two different REPORT_PATH for Testing and Production.
I set the different REPORTS_PATH=xxx into the different xxx.ENV ,
but it doesn't work,
the Reports_Path is setting from the registry REPORTS_PATH.
what is a way to set reports_path dynamic ?
do I need a REPORTS_CLASSPATH in the xxx.ENV
or can I assign the REPORTS_PATH to rp2rro.pll ?
Norbert

Thank you,
set the different env in reports-config works.
But the next is:
I do use RP2RRO library and a param_list to start the report with rwservlet :
RP2RRO.RP2RRO_RUN_PRODUCT (REPORTS,p_ReportName, SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
and would like to use this to give the report the env with the RP2RRO-Service rp2rroReportOther:
RP2RRO.setOthers('ENVID=TEST');
But it doesn't work, and I think the reason is, that RP2RRO.setOthers doesn't work
with param_list : "You cannot use rp2rroReportOther with parameter lists"
(rp2rro.pll version is from 2002 )
what to do ?
can I change the RP2RRO to set RP2RRO.setOthers('ENVID=TEST') WITH param_list ?
Regards

Feature request: Ability ot specify REPORTS_PATH in ENV-file

I am currently running 2 different Forms9i configurations on the same Oracle9iAS R2 server. I have done this by first creating 2 configurations in formsweb.cfg, each with its own ENV-file (envfile=xxx), and in each of these files I have specified 2 different FORMS90_PATH- and LOCAL-parameters successfully. Unfortunately, there is a set of RDF-files for each configuration, and setting REPORTS_PATH in the ENV-file doesn't seem to work - I'm forced to enter it in the Windows Registry, which means, that I can have only one REPORTS_PATH parameter, which the 2 configs have to share.
I know, that the reason for this probably is, that the REPORTS_PATH parameter is used by Reports Services and not by Forms. But is there any other way to specify this parameter for 2 different Forms configurations? Because the way it is now, I need to change the names of all the reports in one to TEST_(reportname), since they will get mixed otherwise. One of the configuration is a test configuration, the other is production....
Any other fancy way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!

Jacob,
The Reports_Path parameter in the Forms9i env file is of no use. In Oracle9iAS and Oracle9iDS there is no other chance to run an integrated report than using the Oracle9i Reports Services. The Reports Services is started in a defined environment, including the location of the Reports rdf files to use.
The solution to your problem therefore is to set up two Reports Services instance with different Reports_Path settings. You Forms application then only needs to know which Reports Server to use, which can be teached to Forms by using a custom parameter called when launching the Forms Web application.

Arabic characters are not getting displayed in oracle pdf output

Hi,
I am trying to print arabic characters in report output but junk characters are getting displayed in output.
Using 10g report builder, added the arabic labels in report layout.
Followed below steps:
1. Set NLS_LANG=ARABIC_United Arab Emirates.AR8MSWIN1256
2.Set REPORTS_PATH to the system font directoy such as C:\SYSROOT\Fonts
3.transferred the arialbd.ttf to $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/AFM
4.Open uifont.ali under$ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin, set the font alias
entries at [PDF:Subset] section.
[PDF:Subset]
Arial...Bold.. = "arialbd.ttf"
5. open datap462.ppd under $ORACLE_HOME/guicommon/tk/admin/ppd, set the font information like
*Font Arial-Bold: Standard "(001.001)" Standard ROM
6.added following entries:
Add this under the following section
## setting for Reports Runtime
REPORTS_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/reports/templates:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/samples/demo:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/integ:$ORACLE_HOME/reports/printers:$ORACLE_HOME/
guicommon/tk/admin/AFM:${REPORTS_PATH};
export REPORTS_PATH
b) Add this in the end of the Reports.sh file
PRINTER=dds62; export PRINTER
tk90_PRINTER=dds62; export tk90_PRINTER
tk90_PRINT_STATUS=echo; export tk90_PRINT_STATUS
=======================================
After having all these steps, still my report output is coming with junk characters.
Please help me on this and this is very urgent requirement for me and i am trying on this since 3 days.
Thanks,
Harini

Hello,
Try to set the Font Subsetting like below in the file uifont.ali
[PDF:Subset]
* = "arialbd.ttf"
If it works after this modification, the problem will be related to the Font Aliasing

My form application does not find my report (10.2.1)

where do i have to tell to oracle forms to look for my reports ? default.env ? , where do i set my oracle reports path ?.
can i generate rep files for runnign from forms insted of rdf ?
thanks a lot.

No, my bad. It should be in your ENV file but I think Forms has actually stopped reading REPORTS_PATH so try putting your rdf in your FORMS_PATH instead (ie where your fmx's are). Or try setting REPORTS_PATH in your registry instead. I'm not in my office and cant remember exactly...

Report server setup best practice info needed -SOLVED-

Hello, I'm looking for some best practice info on how to set up the report server to handle multiple reports from multiple apps (hopefully in separate directories).
We are converting forms 5 apps to 10g. Currently reports live in the same dir as the form files, each in their own application directory. Moving to 10g, the report.conf file specifies a reports dir. It does not seem that there can be multiple directories listed in the sourceDir parameter, in order to handle mutiple directories where reports can live. Is it possible to set it up so it can find reports in any of our 20 application directories? Do we have to have only one directory where all reports are served from (if so we'll have an issue, as reports from different apps could be named the same)?
How have you folks solved this situation?
Thanks for any info,
Gary

Got it working! Thanks to all for your input! I found a reference on Metalink to a known issue with running on Sun Solaris, which was causing me problems.
Bottom line, here's what I did to get it all working:
1) Report server .conf file:
- Comment out sourceDir line in the engine entry.
- Add environment entries for each app before the </server> line at the end .
<environment id="prs">
<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="(path to dir where reports live for this app)"/>
</environment>
- Bounce the server (not sure if this is necessary)
2) $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh:
- Comment out line that sets REPORTS_PATH
This was necessary for Sun Solaris (the bug as mentioned on Metalink)
3) The app .fmb that calls the report:
- Set the report object property to specify the environment ID before calling
run_report_object():
set_report_object_property(rpt_id, REPORT_OTHER, 'ENVID="prs"');
Blue Skies,

Did you define a Report Object in Forms Builder called 'erp_emp_asgn'?
