What report tools to choose

Hi,
I would like to execute SQL calling from jsp -> java bean and produce a report in HTML, PDF, Excel format.
I would like get some advises and opinions on java report library. So far I have research on net, I know there is itext, crystal report, jasper.
I hope to hear some comment from the room which one is advisable, easy to use. Thanks in advance.

No matter what tool I choose, all I get is a hand cursor

I recently installed Photoshop CS4 and didn't have any problems with the installation. However, quite frequently the program gets into a mode where no matter what tool I choose all I get is a hand cursor. I've tried logging off to correct the problem, but that doesn't work. Rebooting the computer is normally sufficient. I haven't determined any specific actions that always cause this circumstance to arise. Does anyone have any ideas on what my problme might be?
BTW, I'm running on Windows XP Pro, 32-bit, with 3.5 GB of memory and a 2GHz dual-core cpu.
Thanks.

This is my expereince as well. I've never seen the problem in any other application and I've been using Photoshop for over 15 years, and this is the first version that I've encountered this problem. And like you, when I switch to any other program the mouse and keyboard work just fine, so it is not a physical keyboard problem.
But, if hitting the space bar a few times solves the problem, then I'm happy for now.
Thanks all.

What is the best reporting tool for my web application?

Hi guys,
I'm using ADF 11g with EJB 3.0 im my web application. My application is deployed on weblogic server 11g, I want to use a reporting tool in my application that is dynamic and flexible.
Note: I've tried to use JasperReports but it didn't fulfill my needs.
Thanks in advance.
AccadSoft

There are plenty of them. Oracle has one called BI Publisher, and there are others out there as well, such as BIRT, Business Objects, etc, etc, etc.
"it didn't fulfil my needs" doesn't give anyone any possibility to comment, because you didn't tell us why, or what was lacking.

What will be the future reporting tool?

Hi Friends..
I just worried about the future reporting tool in BW. can anyone give me some idea about this? its Visual Composer or Bex?
Thanks in advance
Sathya

Hi Sathya,
For now Bex and Web reports(from WAD) would co-exist. But most of the NW2004s points that the roadmap would be to replace WAD with Visual Composer. That being the case and given Excel's feature then you would probably use both Bex and Visual Composer reports in the future.

What happened to Microsoft Product Support Reporting Tool?

I was looking to examine the health of the Active Directory setup that I have inherited at my new position. I was going to download the Microsoft Product Support Reporting Tool to run some tests, but all of the links I could find are broken.
It seems to have been excized from the Microsoft website. The information page as well as direct download links are all missing.
I have searched for information relating to its retirement but found nothing.
Has this tool been removed permanetly? Is there a place I can get the last supported version?
Thanks
Derek

Hi,
Thanks for posting in the forum.
For some reasons, we should replace the MPSReport Tool. For details, please refer to the following article.

What is the best reporting tool to use over a WAN

I am currently working on improving the performance of our Oracle FMIS over a WAN that covers most of Australia.
I was wondering if anyone could point me to tech information on the impact of Oracle Reporting tools on a WAN.
The three tools we use are ADI, Discoverer and strait Oracle Reports.
I am not an expert in Oracle so even basic info on the effect of the 3 products would be of help, of course if anyone is willing to share their experiences it would be appreciated.
We have two major user sites of 500 people seperated by 3000km and 5 minor sites 2000 from head office. I unfortunalty am at the major office 3000km from the server with 500 dissatisfited users.

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

Compare reporting tools

Hi,
Could some one point in the right direction - we are trying to finalize the reporting tool.
We have worked with BI-Publisher(not as dynamic) and Discoverer(formatting a big issue) - trying to find a tool that would overcome the limitations that these 2 tools have.
We want to be able to use Oracle Db, VPD, set client_id using OPD.Net, integrate with web application as key requirements. By same token would like to be able to create dynamic reports which allows a great deal of flexibility. Is there such a reporting tool?
Any ideas much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi
I'll try and answer your questions.
1. Xml, Sql(either a view or stored proc) as input
data sourceYou can base an Apex report on a view or mod/plsql procedure, or use xmldb.
2. support odp.net providerAs I understand it odp.net is a tool used by .net to access Oracle. Apex is a database tool so all the data and code, everything is in the database.
3. Work with VPD - virtual private database Yes.
4. single-sign-on, and setting client_identifier on
connection.Yes
5. Integrate with existing web application(asp.net
2.0)Not sure what integration you want.
6. This tool is free right, to be used with Oracle
10g database.Free and can be used with 10g or 9i databases.

Reporting Tools

I'm relatively new to BW...I've been supporting it internally for our company for the last year+, but I come from a .NET background. My questions are in regards to the reporting tools that people use at different implementations. We use the BEx Analyzer with BW 3.5, but have been relatively disappointed with the user interface and the performance of the queries. We'll be upgrading to Netweaver BI after the first of the year.
1. What other reporting tools (3rd party, web tools, etc.) have people used and how have they performed with BW/BI?
2. How much of an improvement, either in performance or the user interface, is there with the upgrade to BI?
I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Tony

1. There are few third party reporting tools you can integrate with BW data like Business Object, Cognos Reporting sofware, Hyperion etc. All are pretty good.
2. If you are upgrading to BI 7.0, there are lots of new features added to BW/BI reporting tools and one new tool added is Report Designer.
If you are really upgrading to BI 7.0, I don't think you need any third party tools but again it depends on totally what tool you are comfortable with.

Ashok

BW (BEx) and BOBJ Reporting-Tools

Hi All,
I'm looking for an article or anything, that describes the difference between SAP BW (BEx) and Business Objects- Reporting tools .
which tools is suitable for what purpose?
thanks
brad

This isn't mine - it may even be yours - but just in case anyone looks at this thread, here it is
BO vs BEx
Ease of use:
BO - Very user friendly interface, Minimal requirement for MDX code, Some queries take more time in BO analysis, when compared to BEx Analyzer
BEx - Difficult self service reporting and analytics, Being Excel based, it needs extensive VBA or Macro programming for a great UI
Features:
BO - Export functionality (PDF, MSOffice etc), More chart types, Has more advanced features, Design and Preview Tab in the same page, Provides offline capabilities
BEx - Is mostly for SAP only but With integration can access BEx query from BO, Web App Designer is effort intensive, Build and preview are separate views
Support from SAP:
BO - Part of SAP integration roadmap, All current and future dev. in the BI front-end is focused on the SAP BO BI solutions, Crystal Reports is now main reporting tool, replacing BEx Report Designer
BEx - BEx is no longer the strategic direction, BEx product line will be phased out completely by 2016
Compatibility with other data source:
BO - Able to merge data from various sources in the same report, Can connect to any Database, very flexible in design
BEx - Gets data from BI
Implementation effort and ownership cost:
BO - Longer deployment period compared to BEx, Additional server needed, May require additional components setup for BW, May need separate license for Business Objects Enterprise (BOE) platform, BO uses OLEDB for OLAP API via BEx query, may cause an overhead, BW Accelerator may be needed to improve query response time, scalability and visibility.
BEx - Only MS office and BEx client are needed for installation, BEx is bundled with NetWeaver

Is there any way to track what reports are actively running on BOE?

Good Afternoon.
I am looking for a way to track the names of what reports are currently being run on Business Objects. We are on Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 SP3 and from what Iu2019m aware, the servers can show the administrators how many connections and how many jobs are running, and the auditing command can track when a report has completed/failed (from what I understand), but nothing really tells us what reports are actively being run.
The purpose of this is to measure impact for an emergency restart of the server, track down reports that are taking up system resources, and debugging issues involved with the SDK.
Background: We have several reports hosted on Business Objects, both Crystal Reports and Web Intelligence. These reports go to different universes and databases and use several different accounts depending on the project (no central generic accounts to the databases). Sometimes when people are running several large reports (some being upwards of 1 million rows) the users will open one, leave it to run and go to open several others, killing our session limit and resources on the server. In addition, there have been times in development that restarts have been required but there was no way to tell what reports were running, just the number of them, and in several different spots (RAS, Page server, etc.).
Wish list (If my first priority is answered, Iu2019m also looking for the following):
- One to one associations of what reports are being run by what users.
- A centralized location to see what reports are being run by users opening them and what reports are being run by users scheduling them.
- The ability to u201Ckillu201D a report that is taking too long to run by a user.
- Possibly an interactive dashboard showing the number of active reports verses the serveru2019s limit, what reports are set in queue, etc.
- The u201Cstageu201D a report is running in, so if someone is running a report but its stuck at the prompt for a variable stage, querying data from the database, getting data back from the database, producing and processing the data to the screen, etc.
If Iu2019ve missed something in the Business Objects tools or if someone knows of a way to extract this type of data from the Business Objects server (3rd party tool or custom fix) I would appreciate the assistance. Thank you for your time.

Brian,
I don't know if you tried using the Query Builder.
The query below (or some modification of it) may be of some help.
SELECT
SI_SCHEDULEINFO, SI_NAME
FROM
CI_INFOOBJECTS
WHERE
SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS = 1
The SI_SCHEDULEINFO.SI_SUBMITTER property in the query result will give you the BOUSER value of the user that submitted the job.
SI_SCHEDULE_STATUS takes the following values:
0     The job is currently being processed by the job server.
1     The job completed successfully.
3     The job failed. Check error message.
8     The job is paused.
9     The job has not started because dependencies are not satisfied (e.g. Events)

Srinivas

Using AE(htmldb 2.0) as for reporting tool for other oracle databases.

Maybe I was mistaken, but when I first saw the HTMLDB demo's I saw this as a slick way to build a browser based reporting tool for the masses for quasi-ad-hoc reporting on some of our larger databases that currently have limited reporting capability, and also as a possible replacement for the many MSAccess applets we have.
I just got 2.0 installed and working on a 9i database and went through the basic tutorials, but I can't find much info on how to connect to other oracle databases.
Are my options as follows?:
create dblinks from the local database that houses htmldb to all the other databases?
or
install htmldb schemas on each database I want to access from htmldb?
or
I'll keep looking, but if any of you have any pointers or know of a tutorial that explains the best way to do this it would be greatly appreciated!
tia

As for question 1, yep, that's what I mean. Example:
In a schema in the App Express instance, create a user called "APP1_USER", and then
create view app1_user.people as select * from people@link_user@remotedb
As for the next question, using the built-in insert/update/delete processes will give you
ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column
among other errors. Apparently version 2.1 will fix this. See Cannot Update VARCHAR column in Remote DB
We address this problem by creating pl/sql APIs for DML, and then writing our own insert/update processes. Slows us down a little, but even with that, App Express remains a productive choice for us.
Another weird problem: auto-row fetch (built-in to HTML DB) doesn't work over db links when you have two columns for a primary key. Many ways around this, e.g. create sequence-populated primary key, create a view with single column that concatenates primary key column values (key1|key2)
Hope this helps!

RE: (forte-users) Reporting tools/components for ForteApplications?

Hi Robert,
A good place to start when it comes to reporting is Forte Consulting. They
have developed a tool called ReportKit, which is ActiveX integration with
Seagate Software's Crystal Reports tool. Crystal is not really a three-tier
tool (although, your Forte Consultant can probably set it up to mimic a
three-tier tool), but it is a quick, easy way to get quality reports from
your existing Forte applications. If you're interested, give your Forte
Sales Rep (or, better still, your Forte Regional Consulting Director) a
call. They can discuss pricing and scheduling. I've done several
integration projects with Crystal, and I highly recommend ReportKit for
small- to medium-sized reporting requirements. As for costs, I don't recall
how much CrystalReports runs, but I think there are developer licenses and
runtime licenses.
FYI, the actual integration of ReportKit is pretty quick. The more
time-consuming piece of any report tool integration is the design and
implementation of the reports to be used.
I hope this helps.

Subject: (forte-users) Reporting tools/components for Forte
Applications?
Hi all,
We are looking for what is currently in the marketplace to enhance the
reporting
capabilities of Forte. Ideally, we are looking for component libraries that
we
could import into our repository. Do these exist?
Currently, I have found six reporting tools that are out there. The
tools
are Actuate, Crystal Reports, Report Workshop from Indus Consultancy
Services, Brio Technologies (SQR) VisualBRIO, Visual CyberQuery from
Cyberscience Corp., and Beacon from Brahma Software Solutions FORTify
Components. Are there any others for Forte?
If anyone is currently using one of these Reporting Tools for Forte or
any
others, could you give me any indications as to the costs, training, type
of
application using the Reporting tool, would you recommend using the
product
again, does it use wrappering or API, or is it a component based tool, and
any
other relevant information on the product?
Thanks,

I think, SUN is not al all interested in TOOL.If TOOL were just a language and had no market yet, you are probably
right. But, not only is TOOL the key to the Forte environment, but it has
an existing and profitable market. Sun still sells FORTRAN, after all, and
continues to put money into ADE development for all its language
products. The real kicker, though, is that I think iPlanet is very clear
that Fusion, now iIS, is a very key product for them. There may be those
who wish it were written in Java and who might lobby for doing a Java
version, but it was clear at the conference that the iPlanet management
recognize that Java just isn't up to the task at this point. It isn't as
if all the iPlanet tools are actually written in Java, after all.
They will only support them for as long as they need.Or, more likely, for as long as they make money.
Now, in response to Microsofts .NET stratagy. We have yet to see how
succesfull this will be, but I expect Microsoft to push this down the
throats of developers and companies quite succesfully.Like they did DCOM?

How to create a Desktop based reporting tool

Regarding the Rreporting tool . Here I am mentioning the key points of my requirement,
As a first step the user creates the table linking and Alias naming.
Need a GUI kind of reporting tool, Where the user can drag and drop the tables, In that he can build the relations among the tables (if any exists).. User should be given a provision to make alias names for tables and columns. Then saves his report
In the second step user can check his saved report and select the columns . Based on the selected columns a query should be populated automatically with all the selected columns and where clauses based on the links/joins with the user given alias names (if any). Based on this the report should be generated..
I know there are many reporting calls like BIRT,Pentao. But the thing is when I am working or developing on these tools its design is fixed and file gets generated. which can viewed in that editor only.. (like .reportdesign, .report, .rptcustom)
Here please tell me which tool to use and how to start with.
Here the tool can be a desktop application or a war file. (This complete thing should be a GUI based)
--> It should connect to a database and show the list of tables ( or set of tables which are already stored in DB)
--> based on table selection we should display columns of that table
--> if multiple tables are there we should show relations between tables ( if any exists)
( the relations will be already stored in back-end tables, just we need to check any relation exist or not)
--> User should be a given a option to provide alias naming for tables and columns
--> User should save the complete set as a report (with alias names also if any provided by user)
--> when once we save the report we should provide a option to run the report and display the result.

What have you coded so far?
If you are looking for someone to do it for you, then be aware: this is not a do my project for me service, but many of the people on here do consulting at 100+ USD per hour. Check one of your local services and I'm sure you can find a local deveoper to do your project for you.
