Testing Reports within Reports Builder

I am using Oracle Reports Builder 9i 9.0.2.0.3.
I have created a simple report using a JDBC query and J_JDBCPDS.
I have saved the file as a RDF and a JSP.
I want to test this from within Reports Builder.
I created a simple selection.HTM file that has an HREF to my files
I try
HREF="http://myserver:8888/reports/test/myreport.jsp?J_JDBCPDS='myserver:1433;DatabaseName=mydatabase">My Report</a>
and
HREF="http://myserver:8888/reports/test/myreport.rdf?J_JDBCPDS='myserver:1433;DatabaseName=mydatabase">My Report</a>
So ...
I start OC4J.
browse to
http://myserver:8888/reports/test/select.htm
click on my links
but both times I get PAGE NOT FOUND.
How can I test the Reports Builder reports with just having Reports Builder?
Thanks,
Jeanne Vural

Jeanne
The href url is wrong in your selection.html page. Firstly for paper layout report, you should go through Reports servlet, that mean your url would be something like:
http://webserver:port//servlet/rwservlet?server=servername+report=reportname.....
For web layout reports also, your url will need the server info and i do not see any server param passed in the url.
Thanks

Nesting reports/report within report/Recursive reports!

Guys,
This one's really annoying - Can I or can i not nest one report within another?? I have got a really complex report which I want to embed into another and don't want to go through the hassle of rebuilding it in the parent!! Here's what I am trying to do -
I am trying to create a recursive report. I have got a database which has a
table called Outlet and it has several directly or indirectly related child
tables. I have created a report to show these details for a single Outlet.
Now the issue I have is one Outlet can have several child outlets. Basically a
one to many relationship on the same table. I want to display the exact same
details which I displayed for the parent outlet - for each of the child outlet
for the parent.
And each of the child outlet in turn can have more child outlets. So
essentially I want to recurse into the same data model and layout model twice.
So conceptually I want to create a reusable report which I can call from
another report but this report must be displayed in a frame of the parent
report.
Any suggestions as to how I can do this without physically creat9ing three
levels of datamodel and layout model?
I am running the parent from command line and need the output in a single RDF file?
Many thanks,
Amit

Create a report that shows all the details you want, then group it by ModelName. In the section expert, hide the detail line. When you preview the report you will only see the group name, and when you click it a new report will open showing the details for that group.

How to list the active Alerts used within a tab(report) within a Document

Hello
We have a number of tabs/reports within a single webi document. There are a couple of alerts within the webi document but only one is used within a given tab/report.
Is there an API around that will help me query the alerts that are enabled within each tab/report within a given document instance?
There is an IReportProcessingInfo class that is around for it looks like its not applicable for Webi documents.

Problem printing a report in Report Builder 6

Hi people, I'm experiencing tremendous difficulty when attempting to print a report in Report Builder 6. I've NEVER had this problem before, and it is a bone of contention to our client. Whenever I try to print a report from the report previewer, I get the following error:
"REP-1849: Failed while printing."
This error occurs irrespective of the query's complexity!
Even if I write a simple query such as, "SELECT 'johann' FROM dual", I get the above error. PLEASE help! Failure to test my report (and implement it) is causing a loss of approximately R570,000.00 to the company.
Your feedback will be appreciated; feel free to e-mail your suggestions to me at:
[email protected]
Thanks!

The latest patch(patch 11) addresses this issue.
Thanks.

How do I display a MS RDL type Report within a Coldfusion Application

I have a Coldfusion application that exist already, but would like to display a MS Report Builder Report within the application. How can I display the RDL type report within Coldfusion?

Are you talking about an SSRS report? I looked into that a while back, looked to be a real pain because the report viewer web app is built to be part of an ASP page. I would just write the ASP.NET page to handle the report, and maybe put it inside of an I-FRAME on the CF page. You're probably going to have a mess on your hands for managing the access security to the reports.
Would be a nice idea for CF11, if the CF guys wanted to add a really useful piece of Microsoft integration that act as a nice replacement for the never-loved CFREPORT facility. Works really nice in ASP.NET.

Metadata Reporting in Warehouse Builder 10.2

Hi,
I am new to Warehouse Builder.
I am looking for "How to" kind of documentation regarding Metadata Reporting in Warehouse builder version 10.2.
I need to document the metadata.
In Warehouse Builder version 9 I found this link:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/A97306_01/12metarp.htm#1077203
but I can not find the same information for WB 10.2.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Hi Peter,
After starting the installer it fails on the operating system version, apparently no support voor 2008R2.Maybe try to installation with option "-ignoreSysPrereqs"...
I tested OWB 10.2 on Windows7 64bit but cannot confirm that it also will work on 2008R2.
And if not, how tricky is it to upgrade to OWB 11.2, supposing that is certified.Steps to migrate from OWB 10.2 to 11.2 described in OWB installation guide:

Run report from Reports Builder

I have Developer Suite installed on my XP desktop. We have Oracle Reports Server up and running on an application server.
How can I run a report in Reports Builder. Is it somehow supposed to connect to the Reports server, or just run locally?
What do I need to configure/setup?
Thanks!

I'm trying to run from within Reports Builder, but it does not work. That is why I thought it would have to somehow "see" the reports server on the application server.
I have a .rdf that compiles with no errors after connecting to the DB. I have the local OC4J started, and I can see that it is working from a web browser. In Reports Builder when I click on Program > Run Web Layout or Paper Layout, I get the following error:
MSG-1000: ERROR Report Server Configuration - report terminated.
REP-770: Before form trigger failed.

Seeded Reports within Oracle BPA Suite...

Folks,
Would you be able to point me towards any Demo Script
that I could follow against our Demo Databases to test all the
seeded reports within BPA?
I was looking to run these reports against any of these Demo Database:
"Demo70" or "United Motors Group" or "Quote To Cash"
In lieu of randomly running the report against any model within this
Demo database; I was hoping to find some structure I could follow to
see a tangible & pertinent output. This would have also demonstrated
which Model Types were pertinent for which reports & vice versa...
Thanks

Well, in the case of the eval 11g the server is embedded with the BPA Suite and/or is simply Oracle XE. I had restarted both of these and since it is Windows, I restarted Windows too. Nothing worked.
So, I ended up exporting (well, backing up) those "databases" that I wanted and reinstalled everything. That, too, was quite the experience. At least the eval copy of this is not consistent in behavior (seems the version on the server changes daily, although I couldn't get the latest one to install, reverted to a saved version of the download), the install does not work consistently and even worse, when the install fails there are no such indications... it all looks just fine (in my case, attempts to use non-default tablespaces did not work, the log file indicated a bad login without any details on what really failed, yet install didn't say a thing)...
Based solely on my experience with the eval copy, if it were up to me, I would not use this product at all. You may have other experiences, but the lack of current and correct documentation along with inconsistent behavior makes the administration of this tool a guessing game...even restoring the database that I had backed up failed the first time (couldn't login), but I could delete it, and attempted again and it worked that time. Just very poor error messages (as in none), and inconsistent behavior doesn't lead to trusting this very much, if at all.

Error while scheduling Crystal Report within CMC with Destination as Email

Hi,
I have added a Crystal Report within the CMC. Before scheduling it, I have specified the Destination as Email and entered the necessary details. After scheduling it, the Report Instance gives a Failure with Error Message as -
destination DLL disabled.CrystalEnterprise.Smtp
How to rectify this?
Thanks,
Amogh

Hi,
go to the CMC and invoke the server list under Servers. Locate the entry for the Crystal Reports Job Server, select it and invoke the context menu using the right mouse button. Select Destination and add Email in the list of the possible delivery options. Configure the connection data for your SMTP server and restart the Crystal Report Job Server.

How to test a generated report in my application by using web test written with Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate

Hello,
My application generates report in different formats, such as: Adobe, Excel, XML, CSV and HTML
I have a webtest that makes all preparations, then generates a report.
In my application I have an option either to save the new generated report or open it.
When I try to open the new report, the web test doesn't see it and therefore not allows me to test it.
Please refer me to knowledge base or let me know how to resolve this type of issues.
Thanks.
qatm

Hi qatm,
Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
Since this web performance test is used to verify the Http request/respond work correctly in VS, and the browser session is then displayed as a list of URLs in the Web Performance Test Editor.
However, as you said that you want to test a generated report in my application by using web performance test in VS2012 Ultimate. If the report is not as the Http format, so I think that it is not possible to test a generated report by using web performance
test.
Thanks for your understanding.

Creating a PDF report within a popup window

bq.

Creating a PDF-File from a report within a service

Hello,
I have to create PDF-Files from a report within a windows service.
My source is as follows (quick and dirty) using Microsoft Report Viewer 2012

Dim reportViewer1 As New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer()
Dim objRDLC As New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.LocalReport()
reportViewer1.LocalReport.ReportEmbeddedResource = "MyApplication.MyReport.rdlc"

"<MarginTop>0.7cm</MarginTop>" & _
"<MarginLeft>0.7cm</MarginLeft>" & _
"<MarginRight>0cm</MarginRight>" & _
"<MarginBottom>0cm</MarginBottom>" & _
"</DeviceInfo>"
objRDLC.DataSources.Clear()
'Fill Report with data
reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Clear()
reportViewer1.LocalReport.DataSources.Add(New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportDataSource("dsInfo", dt))
reportViewer1.RefreshReport()
'Output Report as File
Dim byteViewer As Byte() = reportViewer1.LocalReport.Render("PDF", deviceInfo)
Dim newFile As New FileStream("MyFileName", FileMode.Create)
newFile.Write(byteViewer, 0, byteViewer.Length)
newFile.Close()
'Clean up
newFile.Dispose()
objRDLC.DataSources.Clear()
objRDLC.Dispose()
reportViewer1.Dispose()

Unfortunately, it is not a piece of code that I can send. The SQL would be embedded inside Oracle Reports tool, and you would have the option to save the output of the report in PDF format.
Once you have the Oracle Report developed, you can execute it from command line prompt and save the output to a pdf file. In your case, the cursor would be embedded inside Oracle Report
