  • General oracle report development scenarios

    Hi
    I need to develop oracle reports as part of my assignment .
    I am looking for some report development examples or scenarios to generate reports using oracle 10g reports developer tool.
    Any site or link or any info would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dave

    It is the tasks i am looking for that a report developer usually performsI'm not sure what you looking for. A report developer creates reports. Oracle Reports is just a tool for that task. It would be the same task as for a developer in Jasper Reports, BI Publisher, Cognos, Business Objects or any other reporting tool.
    Basically:
    Based on the requirements you design a layout and see what data you need. This is just the analysis phase, no programming here yet.
    For this data you create a data model (the queries). I prefer to create the queries as much as possible as database views, to keep the report itself as simple as possible.
    From this data model you create the layout model.

  • Reporting on Siebel CRM data in BW

    Hi Gurus,
    We have a new requirement coming up where we need to develop BW reporting for Siebel CRM Data. I do not know the exact requirements yet, but I need to address the way of apporaching this. Basically the clients wants to implement all CRM reporting in BW.
    Please share any docs or links that talk about this issue. IS DBConnect the way to go?
    pls suggest
    Raj

    Hi Raj,
    as I already did BW reporting on Siebel data I can just explain what we did.
    We connected the Siebel system to BW via DBConnect. Then we created views on the required tables to use them as extractors. The data was posted via full upload to ODS-Objects first with update mode overwrite. From there we were able to do a delta to the cubes.
    Hope this helps!
    regards
    Siggi

  • Need help in developing XML Publisher Report in Multi Language

    Hi Tim,
    We have requirement to develop XML Publisher report in Multi language.
    I know we can upload multiple Templates, one for each language.
    Can any one help me in knowing the process other than uploading multiple templates.
    Any documents or setup process related to this will be of great help.
    I appretiate your help.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi,
    Lets say you have two smart styles with X and Y, and runtime based on the number of pages, if you would like to modify the style, then check any standard table or structue which holds and responsible for the holding the style value.
    If you can trace that, based on the coding we can modify accordingly.

  • DocFlex/Javadoc 1.5.6, a multi-format doclet development tool and more

    DocFlex/Javadoc is both a multi-format Javadoc Doclet and a rapid doclet development tool, which allows easy creation of professional quality Java API documentation generated by Javadoc in various output formats.
    More in this article:
    Key Features

    This Version
    What is DocFlex?
    Main Concepts
    Other Applications
    Links
    KEY FEATURES
    Template-driven doclet architecture
    - Actual doclets are created in the form of special templates interpreted by the DocFlex Doclet, which is the template interpreter / output generator wrapped in the form of a Javadoc Doclet.
    - The high quality graphic Template Designer allows you to visually design most of things, whose development was possible so far only by direct Java coding.
    - The templates are designed independently on a particular output format. All formatting is specified in some universal way using properties of template components. During the generation, it is rendered with the suitable features available in the selected output format.
    - The elaborated support of template parameters (including multivalued list parameters). The parameters are defined and accessed within templates to adjust dynamic properties of template components. Most of options previously used to control an ordinary doclet now simply become template parameters!
    - The possibility to call templates from one another. This feature (along with the template parameters) makes possible re-using the same templates for different tasks as well as organizing template libraries.
    Data processing
    - The entire Doclet API is represented in the form of a virtual XML document (called Doclet DSM), on which the designing and processing of all templates is based.
    - Sophisticated capabilities for data querying and sorting based on an extension of XPath.
    - Full support of new Java 5.0 language features: Generic Types, Enums, Annotations.
    - Simultaneous support of Java 1.4 and Java 5.
    Creating hyperlinks
    - Generation of an extensive network of hyperlinks interconnecting the whole documentation.
    - The hyperlinks can be generated in all output formats that support them (this currently includes HTML and RTF).
    - The universal way of defining documentation cross-links based on the link/target keys specified in templates.
    - In RTF, the cross-links can be generated in the form of page number references, which effectively makes them usable even in the printed documentation.
    - In HTML, the possibility of loading several frame windows from a single hyperlink at once.
    Universal support of various formatting techniques
    - text formatting: fonts, colors, borders
    - paragraph formatting: margins, pagination control, borders, colors
    - border formatting: styles (solid, double, dashed, dotted), thickness, colors
    - tables: arbitrary cell layouts, borders, nested tables
    - lists: bulleted, numbered, delimited
    - document fields (RTF): page number, number of pages, TOC, etc.
    - page formatting: size, orientation, margins, headers/footers
    - formatting styles
    - rendering of embedded HTML, which means interpreting in non-HTML output formats (such as RTF) the HTML tags embedded in text data (e.g. documentation comments). Almost all HTML tags practically usable in doc-comments are supported.
    Inserting images
    - statically specified in templates
    - dynamically, obtained by <img> tags found in Java comments
    - supported image formats: GIF, PNG, JPG, WMF, EMF, BMP
    Output formats
    - HTML (both framed multi-file and single-file output)
    - RTF (version 1.6 - supported since Word 2000).
    - TXT (plain text), which may be particularly useful for various utilizations of the Java code information provided by the Doclet API generate XML files by it, or SQL files to import into a database).
    Standard Template Set
    - The ready-to-use Standard Template Set included in all editions of DocFlex/Javadoc allows you to immediately generate:
    (*) The framed HTML Java API documentation similar to that generated by the standard Javadoc.
    (*) The same documentation packed in a single HTML file.
    (*) The unmatched quality RTF JavaDoc.
    - Special features supported by standard templates:
    (*) Excluding classes/methods/fields by custom tags and annotations.
    (*) Selective omitting of package qualifiers.
    (*) Selective documenting of custom tags (similar to -tag option of Standard Doclet).
    - By modifying the standard templates, you can quickly customize the generated documentation according to your needs.
    Doclet GUI
    - Besides command line options, DocFlex Doclet supports an alternative user-friendly way to control the template-based doclets interactively -- the high quality Doclet GUI.
    - The Doclet GUI starts with the Generator Dialog, where you can specify all general settings (such as the main template, the output format and the output directory), start the generation, track its progress and stop at any moment you need.
    - The grid-tree-based Parameter Inspector invoked from the Generator Dialog for a selected template allows you to view the descriptions of all template parameters controlling the doclet and set their values according to the parameter data types.
    - The generator options specific for the selected output format can be set in the corresponding Format Option Inspector (also invoked from the Generator Dialog).
    - Once the generation is finished (or cancelled), you can start it again with different settings or a new main template without restarting the whole Javadoc.
    Integrations
    - With any system that runs Javadoc (in particular, see below)
    - Apache Ant
    - Apache Maven 2
    - Eclipse
    For lots more information, see DocFlex/Javadoc homepage: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_javadoc/]
    AVAILABILITY
    DocFlex/Javadoc comes in two editions:
    (1) The full edition called "DocFlex/Javadoc" as it is. This is commercial software, which includes all the implemented functionality.
    (2) The reduced freeware edition called "DocFlex/Doclet". It includes only the output generator and can be used as an interpretor of any custom templates. It also includes the standard template set, which allows you to instantly use it as an HTML doclet (similar to the standard one, however with some special features) plus an excellent quality RTF doclet.
    Both editions are available for downloads on the page: [http://www.filigris.com/downloads/]
    THIS VERSION
    New features:
    - The template interpretor works 15-20% faster
    - Improvement of RTF output
    - Multi-valued (list) template parameters
    - Custom elements
    - Standard Templates: Selective documenting of custom tags (similar to -tag option of standard doclet)

    WHAT IS DOCFLEX?
    DocFlex is an innovative technology for development of high quality template-driven documentation/report generators by any kind of data obtained from various software applications via the Java APIs they provide.
    MAIN CONCEPTS
    The whole DocFlex technology is based on four generalizations:
    (1) The mapping of an entire Java API onto a virtual XML-like representation made of some elements and attributes so as to process any such a representation in a universal way using techniques borrowed from the field of XML, like XPath (or more precisely, a conceptual analogue of XPath with some extensions not present in it).
    (2) The abstract formatting concept based on four layouts (flow of text, flow of paragraphs or paragraph-like objects, tables and lists), which can be rendered in most modern document formats (e.g. HTML, RTF, XSL-FO etc.)
    (3) The automatic generation of hyperlinks (or their page number reference equivalents) by matching the sets of keys produced from certain natural properties of the things (entities) being documented and hyper-linked.
    (4) The representation of the object controlling structure of the output generator (made on the first three principles) in the form of a plain-text template with a possibility to create and edit such templates using a graphic Template Designer, which visualizes the controlling objects (now becoming template components) in a form resembling the output they will produce.
    OTHER APPLICATIONS
    In fact, DocFlex/Javadoc is not the only application of DocFlex technology. The following is a summary of other DocFlex software:
    DocFlex/XML
    The SDK and runtime environment for rapid development and execution of template-driven automatic documentation/report generators by any data obtained from XML files.
    This is currently the most complex and advanced application of DocFlex technology. Actually, this tool can be considered a powerful alternative to XSLT. At least, it is definitely able to do what XSLT apparently not (for example, see “XSDDoc” below). We will publish a more detailed comparison “DocFlex/XML versus XSLT” with the next DocFlex/XML release, which is coming very soon.
    DocFlex/XML home page: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_xml/]
    DocFlex/XML | XSDDoc
    A template set for DocFlex/XML that implements a high quality W3C XML Schema documentation generator in HTML and RTF output formats.
    For more details, please see: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_xml/xsddoc/]
    DocFlex/XML | WSDLDoc
    A similar template set for DocFlex/XML that will implement a high-end WSDL documentation generator.
    This product is not released yet.
    DocFlex/Together
    A template-driven documentation generator for [Borland Together|http://www.borland.com/us/products/together/] (which is a UML modeling tool).
    This is the earliest application of DocFlex technology and probably the most beautiful one. It works only with Together Architect 1.x, which is now obsolete. Unfortunately, since Together 2005, Borland eliminated any open APIs (for unknown reasons). Because of this, further development of DocFlex/Together was impossible.
    DocFlex/Together home page: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_together/]
    See also examples of the UML documentation generated with it: [http://www.filigris.com/products/docflex_together/examples/]
    The future DocFlex/UML is going to generate something like this as well.
    DocFlex/UML
    A template-driven UML documentation generator based on [Eclipse EMF|http://www.eclipse.org/emf/]. This tool is in early development stage yet. In a sense, it will continue DocFlex/Together with the focus on integration with other UML tools that use Eclipse EMF.

    Now, DocFlex/Javadoc v1.4 has been released specifically dedicated to Linux (Mac OS X) support:
    (*) Some early bugs have been fixed, which prevented it working properly under Linux.
    (*) A special RTF option was introduced to generate OpenOffice.org friendly RTF (see below)
    (*) Improved support for external document viewers.
    (*) Now, DocFlex/Javadoc software includes the shell script files prepared to quickly install and launch it under Linux
    New RTF option
    A new RTF output option "Tune output for MS Word� has been introduced. This option, actually, allows switching off that very tuning (which until now was the default mode) to produce an RTF friendly to open with other non MS Word applications, e.g. OpenOffice.org Writer under Linux.

    3. any installtion guide for reference.
    Appreciate your time.

    Hi
    If you do the install from the sofware lsited (btw I would challenge the choice of the SEA vs the SIA) , you will face an issue for your project as you will end up with an empty database and you will not be able to extract any data for dashboards.
    Check the licence agreement on the virtual machine available with SIebel preinstalled as you might use them to save on the effort of install and also get some sample data to play with.

  • What development tool should I change for ?

    Hello everyone,
    English is not my native language, please excuse my errors.
    I am currently working at the engineering department of a huge chemical company, and I have been given the responsibility to choose what development tool would suit best for the software developers of the department.
    I am not an expert at all and I need help.
    The developers used to use Forms 6i, but they are planning to change because they want to update all their Oracle tools. The problem is: should they use Forms 11, Jdeveloper, APEX or something else? I have made some research on these tools but I can’t find a comparison of them.
    Up to now, the development team has made softwares with Reports and Forms 6, which were running on Windows XP PCs, connected to an Oracle 8 database on a server. Tired of taking care of installation and administration on every PC, they have decided to make softwares running on server, to be used by many people at the same time through the company’s network.
    My question is: is there a better tool to realise these web based softwares?
    What are the advantages and drawbacks of the different development tools?
    The team is going to “migrate” old softwares as well to make them run on a server, I have tried the APEX 3 migration tool, and Forms 10 migration tool, but I get to nothing good, I am probably doing it wrong… but is there an easy way to migrate from Forms 6i to another tool?
    I really hope that I made myself understood.
    If not, just ask me what you did not understand and I will try to explain better.
    Please, help me out :)
    Raf

    First is to decide with management what is their objective
    then check your budget :)
    joke aside.
    moving to ADF is the best solution but migration requires a major rewriting same with APEX so it is depends on where your expertise are
    APEX is good for small application like 10-20 tables but for enterprise level application you should go for Oracle ADF and Oracle SOA Suite which would help you to improve business processes and control on application and once you migrated you are free for 10 years at-least :)
    Bottom line:
    - if you have more PL/SQL resources migrate to Forms 11g and train your team to Java and Oracle ADF
    - If you have more Java resources then start re-writing from scratch to ADF.
    Migrating to forms 11g is better choice which will keep your platform same so in future you have flexibility to move to ADF without any platform change.
    i have prepared few presentations about ADF and Migration to ADF from Forms might help you http://baigsorcl.blogspot.com/2010/05/my-adf-presentations.html

  • Want to install Siebel CRM in my PC for integrating with UCM.

    I am very familiar with Oracle UCM and trying to integrate with Siebel CRM. I have UCM 11g installed in my PC with Oracle 11g DB and also I know the configuration process or steps from siebel end as well as UCM end. Now I want to install Siebel CRM for this integration.
    I searched in orcale and found that I need the below softawres and also I downloaded it from e-delivery:
    Oracle Base Application (V26510-01_1of2 and V26510-01_2of2)
    Oracle Siebel Image creator(V26511-01)
    Oracle DB11g: OracleXEUniv
    RCU
    What should I do now?
    1. Is the above softwares enough for installation of Siebel ? If yes then can anyone please tell me the installation guide docs.
    2. Should I require more softawre ?
    3. I have also V26699-01_1of6 to V26699-01_6of6 setup files for siebel but I do not know whether I should install from these because I do not have any idea regarding this setup files.
    Regards,

    I think you also need V14496-01 Part 1 of 2 and V14496-01 Part 2 of 2 (English Language Extension Packs).
    Installation is explained in the Bookshelf: V29095-01

  • Report generation tool kit not printing

    I had the report generation tool kit version 1.01 for some time but never used it. I was comfortable with printing front panel vi 's.
    But now I installed it on my computer with a windows 2000 and LabView 6.02 .
    I created an application (executable) that will print (using the report
    genartion tool kit). The application works fine in my development computer
    (win 2000).
    When I installed it on another computer with a win 2000, it prints as
    expected
    but when I try to exit I get a message from windows that the application is not responding (I have to go to task manager and terminate the application).
    Both computers have word and Excell installed
    I installed the application on a third computer (win 2000), but this com
    puter does not have word or excell installed. The application does not print the
    portion of the software that uses the report generation tool kit, but it can print the front panel of vi's (set to print an end of excution).
    In all 3 computers, I have runtime engine 6.02 installed. My vi is simply
    the example vi ""Sample test report.vi"", but customized to my application, printing standard report.
    What is happening ?

    Based on what you sent, the version of Excel and Windows that are being used is a non issue since none of the code makes any calls to either one. They all refer to the older version of the report generation VIs that use NI's proprietary report generator.
    I can think of two explainations. First, you aren't using what you think you are. Second, NI retained the same VI names when they went to the Word/Excel version of the generator, and I am linked into the old version.

    Nope. I dont think you would be able to open a higher version report on a lower versions client tool as it is. However you can do this small workaround and make it work most times
    http://usmantjiudri.wordpress.com/2009/08/18/converting-ssrs-2008-r2-rdl-back-to-ssrs-2008-version/

    Kumar,
    The latest Siebel versions are 8.1.1.10 and 8.2.2.3. The release (8.1.1.x or 8.2.2.x) will depend on your requirements, you can discuss this with your Oracle contact.
    You can install client/tools in windows 7 64 bit. The server environment is not supported in windows 7. Here is a link to the SRSP guides:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11886_01/srsphomepage.html
    For 8.1.1.10 and 8.2.2.3 , please check Doc ID 1492194.1 on support.oracle.com
    To convert the jar files into exe files follow instructions below:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14004_01/books/SiebInstWIN/SiebInstCOM_Image6.html
    Hope it helps,

  • Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager

    Will the reports developed in sql server 2008 r2 BIDS work when deployed on sql server 2012 reporting manager?
    when I check on Microsoft site it says
    Reports are not upgraded when you upload a report definition file directly to the report server
    or SharePoint site. Upgrading a report definition in SQL Server Data Tools is the only way to upgrade the .rdl file.
    When you open an .rdl file in Report Designer in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), if the report was
    created for a previous namespace, Report Designer automatically creates a backup file and upgrades the report to the current namespace.
    This is the only way you can upgrade a report definition file.
    Now here is another confusing statement which says
    You can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server
    2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. The report server stores the report definition file in the original format. The report is automatically upgraded the first time it is viewed, but the stored report definition file remains
    unchanged.
    All I want to know is if I deploy a rdl made in 2008 r2 to 2012 will it work on the report manager of
    2012?

    I have tested this fucntionality and can confirm that ssrs 2008 r2 reports work when you deploy them on new ssrs 2012 report manager .
    No Migration is required .
    I didnt even moved report server dbs .All I did is just deployed reports on the report manager and it worked .
    "You
    can upload an .rdl file created in an earlier version of Reporting Services to a SQL Server 2012 report server and it is automatically upgraded on first use. "
    Microsoft needs to correct this the documentation is misleading

  • Agent going to not ready after call hangup, Siebel CRM Connector, reason code 50002

    Hi Everyone,
    We have Contact Center Enterprise UCCE 8.5.2 with CTOS integrated Siebel CRM 8.1.1 using
    Cisco Unified CRM connector
    On daily basis we are receiving about 100 incidents that Agents goes to not ready after
    talking to customer. and the reporting gives the reason code 50002.
    As per Cisco its because of CTI server Failure/Agent desktop closed/network Problem.  But
    In real there is no network issue, Agent not closing the Agent desktop. Also if this is
    the case agent should be logged out but in pratical its stays logged in but moved to
    not-ready state(Reason 50002)
    It could be  miss communication between UCCE and Siebal CRM connector.
    One more thing its not happening with one customer only it happening in many deployment on
    Version 8. Especially the one integrated with Siebel.
    If anyone face the same issue please share the experience and the solution if found any!
    Regards,
    Atif Tanveer

    Atif,
    If memory serves me right, CTI events are controlled and communicated by Siebel connector.  So when your users close Siebel or any other CTI controlling connector this will be same as closing CTIOS or CAD without proper logoff.  This will keep the phone out of synch and keep the user automatically into not ready to prevent any callers going to this device.
    Simple answer you have to train users and make sure they close Close applications properly.
    Thanks,
    Baseer.

  • Oracle BI Publisher 10x/11x Integration with Siebel CRM 8.2 Release

    Hello Gurus,
    We are in the process of implementing Siebel (8.2) Public Sector for one of our client and in term s of reporting we have decided to use latest version of OBIEE and BI Publisher and thus decided to go ahead with implementing BI Apps 7.9.6.3 combined package of (OBIEE 11.1.1.6, BI Publisher, Informatica 9.x, DAC 10.1.3.4.1 with hot fix).
    There is My Oracle Support (MOS) article # 1172844.1 (titled ‘Supporting Documentation for Siebel Reports by Product Version’) which explains that Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.2 version supports Siebel CRM release 8.2.
    Due to the limitations of the Oracle BI Publisher usage as per the Oracle support documentation, we need to make use of OBIEE 10g version for BI Publisher for integrating with Siebel 8.2 release and we need to also use OBIEE 11g for the main reporting and henceforth we end up maintaining 2 servers for reporting in our environment.
    Does Oracle BI Publisher 11.1.1.5 or 11.1.1.6 version cannot be integrated with Siebel 8.2? Is this not supported version with Seibel 8.2 version?
    Oracle BI Publisher architecture in 10g is different when compared to OBIEE 11g version and does it make any impact if we go ahead with 2 different versions pointing to pull the data from the OLTP source ( Siebel) ?
    I am looking out for exact approach to be followed for reporting requirements for this kind of scenario ?
    Help me with your inputs and suggestions on this.
    Thanks
    Praveen

    hi Praveen,
