Showing Japanese characters from Report Builder

Hi , We've some problem showing the Japanese characters using Oracle Report builder 6i (6.0.8.17.0).
Our database version is Oracle9i-9.0.1.4.0 and
we'r using the DB character set as US7ASCII and National charecter set as UTF8 (Tried with AL16UTF16 but it's supported as per Oracle-metalink). We'r using Solaris 9 (OS 5.9) to invoke the Report Builder.
Japanese characters are able to insert and select from SQL prompt using Japanese Terminal..
But from the Report builder when we run the Report, we'r seeing some junk characters. Please help if anybody has worked on showing the Japanese characters from Report builder.
Thanks

Hi Vinod and Sripathy,
Thanks much for your feedback. We did some testing and it manage to get the results from txt/html/xml outputs but still have problem with post script format.We'r Checking this now..
The prblem was UTF-8 was installed at the OS level (solaris 9).
Anyway, Thank you very much.

How to use special characters in Report Builder

Hi everyone,
I wonder if you guys can help me. I'm trying to change our Invoice hearders from English to Portuguese. Eg, I've changed this English heading
("FOR ACCOUNT QUERIES CONTACT") to this Portuguese heading ("PARA CONSULTAS DE CONTA CONTACTE"). So when I'm done, my entire invoice will be in Portuguese. This works fine, until I get special characters in some of the Portuguese translations. I can copy and paste the translations with special characters into Report Builder. But when I print the invoice in Oracle Apps (with a PDF output), the special characters get replaced with a "?".
Here's an example:
< "Line No" should read "Linha nº" but it prints out as "Linha n?" > Does anybother know how I can resolve this? I'm using Report Builder: 10.1.2.3.0 on Oracle Apps: 11.5.10.2 and RDBMS : 10.2.0.4.0
Thank you in advance

Hi,
You need to have Portuguese font installed on your machine, if you are running the report from your machine or else if you are running the same from report server then the font has to be there on the server font dir.

Displaying urdu characters in report builder

Dear All!
i've stored urdu characters in database and it's displaying correctly in form builder and Toad.
But on sql plus and in report builder some urdu characters are not displaying e.g پ،گ،ڈ،ٹ etc.
should i need to make changes in "uifont.ali" to display characters in report builder or data storage is not properly done?
or, is it just supporting arabic characters?

Help! Print OLE object from report builder.

Dear OTN Members,
I would like to know how to print out a OLE object from
report builder, because currently I face problem to print out
the whole contain of the winword document file, because when I
display the OLE on the form it will only display according the
size I declare for it, it seems that it will not automatic
extend the size itself. i.e. if I drag the size to one page in
fact the maximum is one page, then when it display, it will only
display maximum one page eventhough the document file maybe
contain 10 page inside it. So when I print out the report it
will only show me one page, so if you have any solution, pls
share with me, thank you.

As far as I know you have to use OLE Item to work with the information. Unfortunately there is not any standart way to extract a source document from OLE. Some applications such as Word, Excel support OLE Automation, so you could use OLE2 package to save the document as a file, that is the easest way. But others don't, so you may have to use an undocumented way to extract a document.
Take a look at the following thread:
Subj: 6i to 9i Ole to LOB translations, How do you know the App. server?
Re: 6i to 9i Ole to LOB translations, How do you know the App. server?
P.S. If you can't extract some types of your documents, please let me khow.
P.P.S. To extract a document through OLE2 package you could use something like the following. /I'm not sure the code is correct/:
DECLARE
handle ole2.obj_type;
BEGIN
ACTIVATE_SERVER('OLE1');
handle := forms_ole.get_interface_pointer('OLE1');
BEGIN
-- Save a document to disk
Args :=OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(Args, 'C:\test.doc'); -- file name
OLE2.INVOKE(handle, 'SaveAs', Args);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(Args);
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
Message('Error');
END;
-- OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(handle);
END;

Connecting to db2 from report builder via odbc

Hi!
Some manuals said, it is possible to connect to DB2 from Oracle SQL*Plus (we have version 8.0.6.0.0)
and from Oracle Report Builder.(6.0.8.11.3)
User must install OCA (Oracle Open Client Adapter for ODBC (6.0.5.29.0)) and make ODBC entry.
I did it.
run with: plus80 db2user/db2pass@odbc:db2test
SQL*Plus made the connection, but with errors:

The error refers PUPBLD.SQL, but I think it is Oracle specific, don't help.
Worse, that it can't connect from Report Builder, it just throws error.
If I set OCA_DEBUG=TRUE in registry, I have bonus messages:
oca-30053 unsupported network call (oracle code: 3115)
oca-30002 ubofssw function not supported (1010)
I tried to connect to MsAcces too, but I got same errors.
Have you any idea, how can I solve this?

Why is printing report different from report builder and app server

I created a report and when ran from report builder it looks fine.
And when i moved the report to server and ran the report in the browser using this url
http://192.1.1.8:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=esp/esp_dev1@wdev&report=FMMA_VOUCHER.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=pdf
and print it the report shrinks, the fonts become small and the margins change. I am having hard time how to figure out a way to correlate the formatting in the report builder and when i run on the server using pdf format.
Is there any way to set the server so that the pdf output matches with the report builder.
Thanks.

Japanese characters from args giving question marks on Japanese OS

Hi,
We are internationalising our product to japanese, and one of the features is to be able to open a file containing japanese characters from a double click on a japanese windows OS.
The double click is set up in the registry, and indeed it works properly for most characters. There are a few characters though (unicode character 20060 among them) that it doesn't work for, and what happens is that between the double clicking of the file, and the command line name of the file to open ("%1" in the registry / args[0] in java), the character in question is converted into the literal character for "?" (ascii 63), and java can't open the file.
Testing wordpad directly with this character is fine, the file opens. I've written a simple C++ app and a simple JAVA app which fork wordpad with the fileName param passed to it from the registry, and it didn't open the file passed because of that character.
So our java application, a simple java program and a simple C++ program can't resolve the fileName passed to it because of this character.
The thing is, wordpad is using the same regedit method to get its parameters as we do ("appName.exe" "%1" in shell/open/command) and it opens files containing this character without a problem.
Any ideas on what I'm missing?
Thanks very much
Jack

JackUnicode 20060 belongs to an extended part of JIS Kanji code set and there can be many
applications or systems that do not support those characters. Shift_JIS doesn't and
EUC-JP use 24 bit code for representig those chars which, unfortunately, aren't supported
by most exixting apps.

Subject in Email is always "Report sent from Report Builder"

We run Forms 6.08 in C/S - architecture.
Forms calls reports:
ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id, 'SUBJECT',TEXT_PARAMETER, 'Please read appending pdf' );
add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER, 'Mail');
Run_Product(reports, 'MY_Report', SYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, Filesystem, pl_id);
This works: Lotus pops up and a Email is initialized with a pdf appended.
But the subject isn't filled in properly. There is always a constant text: "Report sent from Report Builder"
How can I control the subject?
Is it possible to fill in some text into the Email-body?

Generate PDF from App. Srv. Produces Larger File than from Reports Builder

Good Day,
I have a the below issue , and need your help please.
When generating a PDF report from the application server, the PDF size is large (200 MB) while
same report is generated from the builder with smaller size 10MB.
- Report Builder 9.0.2.0.3
- The report contain only TEXT no Image , and contain arround 4000 pages ...
The steps done from Application server in command line :
- First I tested with several values for the parameter OUTPUTIMAGEFORMAT : file size stays the same or increases.
- Second I tested with parameter PDFCOMP (for PDF compression) with varying values from 0 to 9 : file size stays the same.
Kindly help ...

From report builder :
I open only the .rdf and generate the output to a PDF file.
The number of page is from the PDf generated from Report builder , for the other one I Cant open it with PDF reader...
Thx.

i'm using developer/2000 ver 2.1 and my reports running under win95 platform and i'm using client/server techneque, when i start to distribute my reports to my users on their machines i got the above message , and i have to recompile all of my RDF files again on every user machine. this not all my story , but after some period may be 2 months these reports start to give the same message , again i must recompile all my RDF on every user machine.
please if any one have a solution for this mazing problem.
thank you.

bogdom and gaben,
I belong to your club too it seems. Though in my case the compilation was required on each database. Report used to work in the only that database in which they were compiled. Connecting to other database used to give this string error. Moreover this problem existed only for those reports in which i had used PL/SQL code in the formula columns. One way to avoid this is by writing all PL/SQL code in a library and call it in the formula column calculations.

How do I copy/paste Japanese characters from Word to ID CS5.5?

I'm using ID CS5.5 as my layout program and helping my girlfriend lay out a children's book she's working on. She's a Spanish professor at a local university. So far, we've done the text in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German. But she also wants to provide the book in Japanese, so had one of her colleagues, who is from Japan, translate it and provided the translation to me in the body of an e-mail, which I copied and pasted into Word. However, when I pasted it into the InDesign layout, I get the pink boxes with the "x", indicating that particular font isn't installed. I understand this. I selected one of the Japanese characters and checked the info in Word, finding that it is CJK Unified Ideograph, character code 69D8, keyboard shortcut 69D8, Alt+x. Here is the character: 様
Here is one of the sentences in Japanese:
カルロスです。ぼくにはしんゆうがいて、ジャバリとジョッシュといいます。ぼくらはいつもいっしょにあそびます。みためはちがうけど、にているとこもたくさんあります
Is it absolutely impossible to accomplish our goal without having the particular Japanese typset installed on my system that he's using? It's showing up here and in Word. ????? I've done a search and did a lot of reading, but didn't find my exact issue, so just wanted to start fresh and hopefully get some helpful input. If this has been discussed before, I apologize, but didn't find it.
Thanks
DC

Your line breaks will most likely be incorrect if you don't turn on the Japanese Composer.
It is almost absolutely impossible to accomplish your goal without having a font - any font - installed on your system that has that glyph. However, if it's showing up in Word, than means that you must have that glyph installed, right? What font are you trying to use in InDesign? You might already know that Word will auto-substitute fonts when it encounters a missing glyph, so we really don't know what font is being used to render that one glyph. The whole sentence might be in MS Mincho but one glyph might be pulled from another font if MS Mincho doesn't have that glyph.
That being said, you're going to break it if you don't know how to set Japanese type in ID. It's not something where you can just copy text out of email and paste into your English layout.
