Which Oracle reporting tool do I use?

I’m looking for a web based ad-hoc reporting tool, Preferably an Oracle product. Something that once set up and configured (point to a specific database) select users can login into via a browser and build ad-hoc reports. I don’t want to have to create a report then publish it for the end user and especially nothing should need to be installed on any desktop.
Amongst the confusing vast array of oracle BI products: Oracle Reports, BI Publisher, Business Intelligence Server, Interactive Dashboards, Intelligence Answers, Oracle Business Activity, Hyperion Interactive Reporting, Hyperion Web Analysis etc, etc, etc...... there must be what I’m looking for.
If someone could please point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi ,
It depends on you requirements...
You can use Interactive Reporting Tool. To use Interactive Reporting you need to install below components
1) Shared Services
2) Reporting and Analysis BI Services
3) Reporting and Analysis UI Services ( includes Interactive Reporting, Financial Reportinig, Web Analysis and Workspace)
To meet you requirement you can perform the below tasks
1) Create an OCE publish the same to Workspace.
2) Give access to user on that OCE.
3) User can create their own reports.
For more details on the same, please visit
Hyperion System 9.3.1

Oracle reporting tools

Hi all,
What are the best oracle reporting tools except reports builder.

The best tool depends on what you want. Any tool that uses SQL and provides a method for output can be used for reporting.
SQL*PLUS provides effective if simplistic reporting capabilities including writing to files and very basic formatting. Printing is a bit trickier as an OS interface must be implemented.
GUI tools like SQL*Developer and TOAD also provide output. Getting them to schedule jobs if needed will probably be hard since they are "ad hoc" tools.
Apex provides reporting capabilities including graphs and is easy to use if you're willing to work with the capabilities built into it. It can also be customized with a bit of effort.
Other tools exist. OBIEE is popular. These other tools may require extra licenses.

How can i convert oracle report in excel format using 8i

hi,
I want to convert oracle report in excel format using 6i reports. please give the solution with emp table.
millons of thanks in advance.

You'll have to use the destype DELIMITEDDATA to render your Report in CSV format. Then set the mime type to Excel. I don't know the exact syntax, so please do a search in metalink for "reports excel" for examples and more info.

Which reporting tool should we use for SAP-BI?

Hello - I was wondering which reporting tool would SAP currently recommended for reporting out of SAP-BI? For instance, which specific versions etc., of Business Objects or BEx is the best choice considering the subsistence of Business Objects and BEx (i.e. which one will remain in existence?).

Regarding: Oracle Reporting tool

hi all
is there any reporting tool in oracle for designing reports for my application. I have already tried reports with crystal report but it is too slow.
Thanks

Hi,
There are installation documents included in the APEX download itself, I really advise reading those documents since they cover everything you need to know about how to install it.
Also, there is a huge amount of information here -
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/index.html
including many HOWTO's, examples, whitepapers, documentation and guides that will give you information about what APEX is, how you to use it and what you can do with it.
Note, since you're looking for a Reporting tool, APEX might not be exactly what you need, however you can easily build reports using APEX, so as I said earlier it really depends on you actual requirements.

Running Oracle Reports via a client using system.exec call from war file

Hi all,
I am trying to deploy a war file application to a J2EE 10.1.3 application server. The deployment successfully completes. However testing the application fails.
When testing, the application reveals that calling a Oracle Reports 6i client (using a cmd line exec) from the war file returns application errors. The errors we get from executing the call below (using debug statements), creates this error:
OperatingSystemCmd: cmd = D:\Oracle\Dev6i\BIN\rwcli60 MODULE="CLTMLST" USERID="<userid>/<pwd>@<db>" DESTYPE="FILE" DESFORMAT="PDF" DESNAME="<path>\<pdf filename>.PDF" PARAMFORM="NO" BACKGROUND="NO" SERVER="r6i.world" TOLERANCE=0 ADVCODE="<param>"
OperatingSystemCmd: Command returned 3
WrsRunReport: Done executing report
WrsRunReport: Error running report Return code 3
Error on Screen is REP-0178 : Cannot connect to reports service.
However running the same command from a operating system command prompt in windows reveals that the command runs successfully.
Is there any particular OC4J J2EE settings that are required to get this statement to run properly?
Any help is most appreciative.
Cheers
Rodney

Hi All,
From much research and experimenting to get this to work I looked at the java.lang.Runtime class and noticed that seperate processes can be started using this very important Java class.
The first thing that I experimented with was in regards to seeing the environment OC4J runs against. Using the java.lang.Runtime class I executed a standard "cmd /c set" command in my Windows environment, and noticed that Oracle Application Server uses its own environment and not a standard windows login environment for its OC4J containers. Apache Tomcat on the other hand uses the standard user login environment.
So to get the application to be able to work properly we needed to override the particular environment the process needed to be able to get it to work. There is a exec command which allows you to override completely the environment for a process you would like to run. This method call does not in any way shape or form change the standard OC4J environment. This was done by executing the same "set" but with the overriden environment. Note that no environment variables from the OC4J container are carried into this new environment.
Cheers
Rodney

Thanks
user2233

Hi,
You want this report to run in oracle application. Then you have to develop a report using oracle reports and register the report. While defining a concurrent program you have option to select the output format, select pdf format there.
When user requests using submit request form they can see the output in PDF format.

PDF file created from Oracle Report is created wrongly using dbms_lob

Hi,
Please help. It is very urgent.
I am using Oracle Developer 10gR2, Oracle Report 10.1.2 on Windows 2000.

is

     document_type := 'application/pdf; name=attach.pdf';
end Create_File_Attachment;Oracle Report created the PDF file correctly (original.pdf).
I tried to attach the PDF into my Workflow.
I can see the file is attached (attach.pdf), but it cannot be opened.
The Adobe shows : 'A drawing error occured.' each time I open the attachment.
I compare the original.pdf and the attach.pdf
However, there is one specific difference
- in original.pdf, the line started with '.' (single period)
in attach.pdf, the line is started with '..' (two periods)
Thus the attachment cannot be opened.
After I delete the period, it can be opened.
Question:
- Has someone ever succeed in attaching the PDF created from Report?
- Are the codes above is wrong?
- Or perhaps the DBMS_LOB.LOADBLOBFROMFILE always double the single period on front of the line?
- Is there any solution on this?
Note:
I have succeed in attaching PDF files unless the PDF created by the Report.
Sorry for the long post.
Please help. It is very urgent.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,

How to execute oracle reports file from jsp using WL as an app server

I plan to use jsp to accept IN parameters and later want to execute oracle
          report execute stored in some directory and provide results back to the
          client browser window. Is this possible in JSP + WL? If yes, can you
          provide some tips on the code?
          Thanks.


Try
sqlplus "sys/oracletest as sysdba" @bpk.sql
Working locally, and having set the ORACLE_SID, you don't need to specify the SqlNet alias (@testdb).
Remember to put an exit at the end of the bpk.sql script.

Which Oracle Thin Driver Classes are used at runtime ?

Hi,
I am using Weblogic 6.1 sp1 on a WIN 2000 Professional Box and am trying to connect
to a Oracle 8.1.7 Database that is located on a Solaris Box. I am using the Oracle
Thin Driver (classes12.zip) supplied by Oracle.
The relevant portion of config.xml looks like this:
<JDBCConnectionPool DriverName="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
InitialCapacity="12" LoginDelaySeconds="1" MaxCapacity="24"
Name="xxxConnectionPool" Password="xxxxxxxx"
Properties="user=user123" Targets="xxxserver" URL="jdbc:oracle:thin:@1.2.3.4:1521:xxxx"/>
The start script for the Server includes a CLASSPATH variable that includes both
weblogic.jar and classes12.zip (in that order)
The Database access code is from a singleton that is deployed with the beans and
looks like :
Context ctx = new InitialContext();
Object o = ctx.lookup("resonateDataSource");
dataSource = (DataSource)o;
Connection con = dataSource.getConnection();
PreparedStatement ps = con.prepareStatement(sqlXXX);
The actual subclasses of DataSource, Connection, PreparedStatement that are called
at runtime are from weblogic jDriver classes like weblogic.jdbc.rmi.SerialPreparedStatement,
weblogic.jdbc.rmi.SerialConnection etc and not from oracle thin driver.
Is this expected ? Why arent the corresponding classes from the Oracle Thin Driver
loaded ?
Thanks,
Praveen

it's
older than the latest, and you want yours to be used. Whatever is first in the classpath is what will
be used.

loaded ?Yes it is expected. The oracle classes are loaded, and used under the covers. All access
to JDBC connections and JDBC objects via our pools and DataSources will be via a
wrapper object of ours. This is necessary to allow us to retain control over the pool and
User Transactions. Also, because the DataSource is supposed to work whether from
a serverside class or an external client JVM, there will have to be an intermediary JDBC
object that acts as a proxy from the external client to the real thin driver connection
in the server. One can't ship JDBC connections across the wire as-is.

How to know which Oracle version database I am using ?

Hi all,
I am configuring an administrative file on the server and there are many databases in our company : there are Oracle8i, Oracle9i and Oracle 10g databases.
What I know only is the connect string which I use to connect to a database via Sql*Plus. But I do not know if it is in 8i or 9i or 10g.
So can you help me how to know the database version which I am using ?
Thank you very much indeed.

To be clear I tell you my big problem : I am developing a forms application. There is a specification in my project telling that if the end-user does nothing during a periode of time which can be set by an administrative user , say 3 minutes , then the end-user session is disconnected. So how to implement this ?
I tried to use profile and the sqlnet.expire_time but it is too long greater than the set time-limit !
So what is the best way to implement this functionality ?
Note that in my forms application, I wrote a query on the dba_profiles view to get the value of the column limit for the resource_name idle_time. All users , that is the "public" keyword , have been granted select on dba_profiles by sys , and this value of the limit column is the time-limit I used in my forms. When the forms application is run then there is a timer created which periodically tests connection to the database by issuing a simple select statement. The periodicity of the timer is set to the value of the limit column in dba_profiles plus one minute because I set sqlnet.expire_time to 1 minute. When the disconnection arrives then there should be a message displayed to the end-user saying that he cannot do anything because his session has been stoped.
I think I was clear and I am waiting for a good advice from all of you.
Thank you very much indeed.

How to detect which Oracle ODBC Driver is installed using VBA Excel

Hi,
I have an excel workbook containing database queries that uses an oracle ODBC driver to update data. However different machines have different versions of the ODBC drivers installed and so although the code works on my machine, it doesn't on others because the ODBC connection reference is different.
So as a first step, I would like Excel to automatically find what ODBC drivers are installed when the macro is run so that I could dynamically change the ODBC connection reference depending on what drivers are installed.
The connection strings relating to ODBC drivers are in following formats:
Machine A: "ODBC;DRIVER={Oracle OraDb11g_home1}
Machine B: "ODBC;DRIVER={Oracle in instantclient11_1}
ETC
All machine run windows XP.
Alternatively would there be an easier way to connect to a shared orcale database without the need of installing any additional drivers?
Thanks,
Lucas

Problem with Excel & ODBC drivers really has NOTHING to do with Oracle RDBMS.
I suggest you tag your post as "Off Topic" & post it in some Excel forum instead.

Oracle ETL Tool

Hi,
I have some data in Oracle table, which contains a column 'address'. I want to extract the values in this 'address' , transform the values, and then load it into another oracle table. During transformation, I want to standardize the values in the 'address' column.
For example, there are following values in this column:
House Number 2
H.No. 334
HNO 345
H Number 35
House Num 52
I want that during transformation, I replace all the variations of House Number values in address column to like following:
House Number 2
House Number 334
House Number 345
House Number 35
House Number 52
Please guide me as which Oracle ETL tool should I use.
regards

you can use Oracle Warehouse Builder to implement such funcitonality.
