Weblogic, Forms and reports 11g - help with report server

Hi Everyone
To start with i'm very new to forms and reports (3 months!!!) so my question may sound a bit silly.
At the moment we have 10 apps using forms and about 6 of them using reports. All the reports get run from the forms. We are upgrading forms and reports from 10g to 11g and the dev teams are not willing to recode the forms to pick up ENVID's etc. i have 1 reports server running and have configured to run one of the apps reports but my question is how do i get the other apps to run under that report server, can this be done.
I have thought about creating a report sever for each app but not sure if this is best practice and a bit over kill.
Would i be wrong to create a report server for each app.
Thanks

Hi,
If both apps are using the same middle-tier home, then forms built-in run_report_object should submit reports to the this url. i.e <protocol://<mid-tier or LBR>:<port>/reports/rwservlet?. Assuming you are using the in-process reports server no need to specify reports_server parameter. Also if the envid is missing, you can move all the .rdf or .rep files to the default reports server directory $mid-tier_home/reports/samples/demo directory.

  • OBIEE 11G help with report narrative and table view

    Hi,
    I have a report designed like the below, I have used "narrative view" for customer detail and "table view" for order detail. In the narrative view I can say row = 1 and it picks up the first record of the customer detail, but order detail shows all rows. How can I control it so the order detail shows only the detail record of the customer associated. Also how do I go to the second record and so forth. Please help. If this is not possible and if there are any alternates, please let me know. Thanks for your time and help.
    Customer Number:
    Customer Name:
    Customer Address:
    Order Detail:
    Line number | Order No | Order description | Order Status

    Order Detail:
    Line number | Order No | Order description | Order StatusWhy don't you do this?
    1) Build a dashboard prompt for Customer Number. and save to a PV.
    2) Build a report with all the columns for customer and order (in Criteria View) with a filter for the PV to capture the dashboard prompt.
    3) Build a pivot table with Customer Number and Customer Name in the Rows section. Put the Customer Address in the Measures section and change the Aggregation Rule to Max.
    This will serve as the summary table showing only the information of the customer selected.
    2) Build Pivot Table:2 with the Order details.
    3) In the Compound Layout, put Pivot table one on the top and Pivot Table:2 below it.
    When a customer is selected, you will have the customer data with the order details under it for that customer only.

  • OBIEE 11G help with report design

    Hi,
    I need to design a report in the following format
    Customer Number:
    Customer Name:
    Customer Address:
    Order Detail:
    Line number | Order No | Order description | Order Status
    The order detail will have multiple lines, I have to do this in both Excel and PDF, is it possible to do without Publisher, and just OBIEE 11G? If so please help on how to do it?
    Thanks for your time and help.

    Hi,
    You can have static text or narrative view to achieve the customer details.
    And use the table format for the order details.
    And give reports links where in, you can download to both excel and pdf.
    Hope this resolves.

  • Single Client Access Name for Weblogic Forms and Reports.

    I have a 2 node clustered system:
    Windows 2008 R2 64-bit
    Weblogic 10.3.3 (on each node)
    Weblogic Forms and Reports 11.1.1.3 (on each node)
    Database 11gR2 RAC 11.2.0.1 (on each node)
    The forms and reports are clustered and I can connect to each from each of the two servers and the cluster is working well.
    The database uses Single Client Access Name (SCAN) to present the database as if it were one server called dbserver1.
    I was wondering if there was a similar thing for Weblogic and what everyone else uses to present their application as a single name to the user.
    I tried using Windows Network Load Balancing, but this stops the database scan listeners from working.
    Thanks.

    Dear,
    Did you find an answer to your question back in 2009?
    We are facing the same installation architecture, but we do not find any concrete information regarding SCAN with Oracle Forms 11g

  • PDF forms and how they work with different Reader versions

    I'll start this off by giving a little background information and describing a workflow scenario. I work as an InHouse designer for a company that keeps the majority of the employee population always a few versions behind. Fortunately, for us designers they keep us updated, but it doesn't always play nicely when you're saving your PDFs for older versions of Acrobat Reader.
    What happens is that I create a form in InDesign, export a PDF, and then create my form fields in Acrobat Pro 9 on a Mac. After saving for version 9 I then take the PDF and test within the Windows environment which our IT is enforcing Acrobat Reader 7. The PDF opens ok and I can fill out the form, but I cannot save. I then open in Acrobat Pro 7 for Windows and then it gives the option to save or make modifications.
    My questions really come down to whether or not Reader 7 is doing this because of how old the technology is, or if that would change if our IT would allow Acrobat Reader 8 or 9? Now I've looked at the Acrobat Pro 9 comparison chart and it states "Enable users of Adobe Reader®   (version 8 or later) to fill in and save PDF forms locally." Does this mean that we just need version 8 or 9 and then people can save the form? What in version 7 is causing us not to be able to save? Did that change the technology in some way? I'm trying to figure out if we get IT to upgrade users to Reader 9 if this will solve the issue or will they have to install Acrobat Standard/Pro 9 to save a PDF form?
    What other selling points could we make to our IT department that using Reader 9 is a lot better than using Reader 7? Any technology benefits, security or functions?
    Thanks

    No version of Reader can save a filled in form unless it has been enabled first.
    To enable, open the file in Acrobat then go to Advanced>Enable usage rights in Adobe Reader...
    And for my standard disclaimer, if you are going to use the forms in a corporate environment, be sure to study and understand the usage limits for enabled forms (the limit is 500 uses, but there are caveats to that) in the EULA. Mostly the enabled forms are meant for very small time users. If you do not meet that requirement, Adobe sells another product that can enable files for unlimited uses but it costs in the tens of thousands of dollars and is a server side solution.
    Hey Graffii,
    I enabled the usage rights and that did help with saving in Reader 7. I am a little concerned about the limit of 500 uses. Let me try and understand you a little better. I have a PDF that has a couple form fields and you're saying that the PDF can only be opened 500 times? I've never heard of restrictions on PDFs before. Does this happen after you place just 1 form field? How do I find out more information? I looked in the EULA, but found nothing.
    Also, what does Adobe mean here "Enable users of Adobe Reader®   (version 8 or later) to fill in and save PDF forms locally." Are they saying that you need Reader 8 or later to read a form or that you need Acrobat Pro 8 or later to enable the form feature?
    It's all very confusing because one of the features they tout in version 9 is the ability to save forms locally, but once I enable the form I could save it with Reader 7. It's hard to tell if they are referring to Reader 9 or Acrobat Pro 9.
    Thanks

  • Help with Report Condition

    I have three parameters in my report which are academic year, instance code and id number. Only two parameter values are entered when user runs report, that is, either academic year and id number or academic year and instance code.
    The report produces a student’s statement of results and should show all results for the previous years. E.g. if student did c-inst1 in 2009, c-inst2 in 2010, c-inst3 in 2011, when user enters 2011 for parameter academic year and c-inst3 as course instance, the report should display all the results of students starting from 2011 going back to 2009 for all the three course instances c-inst1, c-inst2 and c-inst3.
    My report conditions are as below:
    ACADEMIC_SESSION <= :ACADEMIC_YEAR AND
    (Id_NUMBER = :ID_NUMBER OR (:ID_NUMBER IS NULL AND (CI.INSTANCE_CODE = :course_instance OR What?? ) What condition should I add here in order to get all those records with course instance entered as well as previous course instances done by a student?
    Please assist. Thanks.

How can we do that ?
    1. create a parameter like PR with char data type.
    2. pass the column name and other parameter to this parameter via After Parameter Form trigger.

  • Help with report

    hi to all experts,
                               i have  a requirement of listing purchase orders created only on Sunday and Saturday,please help me out im struggling  with is report from 2 days. any sample code will help

    Hi,
    Use as follows
    Parameters : P_startdate type dats,
    P_enddate type dats.
    data: days_between type i.
    ranges : r_days type dats.
    days_between = p_startdate – p_enddate.
    do days_between times.
    Call function module “DATE_TO_DAY” to see if the day is sat or sun.
    Call function DATE_TO_DAY
    Exporting
    DATE = p_startdate
    Importing
    WEEKDAY = g_day.
    *if the day is sat ir sun populate u'r ranges
    <b>If g_day = ‘Sat’ or g_day = ‘Sunday’.</b> Changed
    R_days – low = p_startdate.
    R_days- high = ‘’.
    R_days – sign = I.
    R_days – option = EQ.
    Append r_days.
    Endif.
    P_startdate = p_startdate + 1.
    enddo.
    Select * from vbak
    into table lt_vbak
    where erdat in r_days.
    This works only in Enlgish logon
    For better results I advise you to check the Function module DATE_TO_DAY and see the Text elements used for the Day texts.
    And create in your program also similar text elements and compare using the text elements rather than hard coded stuff in one language.

  • Need help with reporting

    I am very confused and frustrated with this whole process. I got Captivate to build a on line teaching tool for my office employees. After creating the training I found that you have to have a place to host it.  I found a web host, and made a website and uploaded the program to it.  I got captive 7 so that I could make use of the reporting tool. (I need to be able to track which employees did the training).  I then found that when I upload the results to actrobat.com, the user needs an adobe ID and password. So I went on actrobat and entered all my employees as name, and employee number @ adobe.com  It let me enter everyone of them with no issues whatsoever.  Until I had some of them try to take the training. They were able to open my training and complete the whole thing. When they went to post results it asked fro their adobe ID and password.  Armed with the ID and password I gave them it states that the Id email was not verified.  I cannot find a way to verify it.  Should be an easy way to upload employees that you need to track? Please help, I am not a computer guy, I am a safety guy and I am lost.

    I don't normally use Acrobat.com as an LMS, but from memory Adobe has some kind of email verification mechanism whereby once a person registers an email address as their Adobe ID then they receive a verification email sent to that address and they're expected to confirm they are a real person by clicking a link or something.  Is it possible that your employees did not receive this verification email or that it was picked up and ditched by your company's antivirus software thinking it was a virus?  If their email addresses were never verified then that would explain why they were not able to log in just because you set up their Adobe IDs.
