Working with Oracle Reports

I got oracle reports APEX integration working like the how to, and even got the SSO to work, but here are some issues I'm having.
1) Using ODM is a nightmare, not fun at all. I would like to use databse usernames/passwords, not separate LDAP.
2) when you specify the SSO connection, you ahve to hard code it for everyone.
I was wondering if anyone was able to use Oracle Reports without using SSO, and not specifying username/password in the URL. Maybe, configuring Reports to use the DAD?
Anyone have any luck with this?
Thanks,
Scott

Wow, searching for stuff about integrating oracle reports is a nightmare, I think I found the approach I am going to use, editing the cgicmd.dat file for now. Until, we convert our entire application to a SSO with enterprise level accounts, it's probably going to be using this.
MY question is this, I was hoping to mask the URLs, thought embedding the report as a URL region in ApEx, but that didn't seem to work at all. Is it possible to use a PDF as a URL region? When I used the report I got something like teh following:
%PDF-1.4 1 0 obj << /Creator (Oracle9iAS Reports Services) /CreationDate (D:20070313125453) /ModDate (D:20070313125453) /Producer (Oracle PDF driver) /Title () /Author (Oracle Reports) >> endobj 5 0 obj <> stream Gat=->Ar7S'RgRSs$0s/huU7'4/KS9Ngb96CtDRJok?)m\+Sl1XfZF,^E9Wl-'>Lb!i]Stn2lEg I]1HLoRtV&KIJ$c`%WUB:/B0l6GQ)&K&YhTal$b)o]PN0n)$D#fBGjRl+b=l#cfP/_\#TCQhq([ eW/H(4FlVDPKUff6L&!0&P+BZ8;;p/T`>@j1C=o,22h2/Jktt+>'$Gf;k!nc'fWsoS6^"6WV8`p RN(t1"i9k$SEc(BLGphdT@UgEDT\$q9:m-8I-`(!18MlWqF$&UOUA&No$qos#P6d#H3Z\e1K4MW asZsir?pJHU2VO3MI9\f#=42H97A\u9/L]`M0bP5%02M=X]kc.km/Y2!,N^2J?k1<&tj06EIV9.

Few errors while working with Oracle 9i developer suite.

I am facing a few errors working with Oracle 9i developer suite.
1. while running forms we have to press "ctrl +F11" to execute a query.
is there any other way of executing a query where the user can do it at a click of button or so? and similarly some way of canceling a query?
2. how can we run parameterized reports thru a menu in forms?
3. i had run a query which fetched around 15 records which were populated in 10 text boxes. i cud scroll down to see the records, with the keys but was not able to scroll back up. how can this be avoided or some way thru which we can scroll?
4. can sessions be created in Oracle forms?
5. the security feature thru menu roles is not proving efficient. can some1 suggest some way of achieving this user access control?
hope some 1 can answer my queries soon

1) execute query in windows is F8, yours is unix. Change the resource-file. You find them in <forms-home>. fmrweb.res is the standard. Save a copy. Copy then the fmrpcweb.res into fmrweb.res. That's all.
2) start in the menu with an execute_trigger ('UN_MY_REPORT_CALL') a forms-level-trigger in your form. Then you can interact with your report-objects.
3) page down + up are the keys to scroll. maybe the solution is 1)
4) yeah, implicit with open_form (... new_session...) but what do you need ?
5) write your own mechanism. say first, which features do you need

For example, I have a report name "report1.rpt" which was saved under "C:\oracle\Jdev9052\jdev\mywork\HR\HR\public_html".

Oracle 11g XE not working with oracle BI publisher 10g after enabling ACL

Hello,
I previously work with oracle 10gXE and Oracle BI publisher 10g and it work fine. now i install oracle 11g XE and try to configure it with oracle Bi Publlisher, it show this error
"ORA-29273: HTTP request failed ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1324 ORA-12570: TNS:packet reader failure" after runing the ACL package to neable network service.
on the database.
Please can any body tell be why this is not working. Tanx.

You'll need to add the apex engine owner to the ACL (Access Control List). Depending on your version of apex the user name varies. i.e. 4.0 is APEX_040000
See Joel's blog for info about the ACL and APEX.

ASP application has problems working with oracle database 8.1.7

ASP application has problems working with oracle database 8.1.7 through both oracle ODBC driver and Microsoft ODBC driver
We have an ASP application running on Windows 2000 server, and with 8.1.7 Net8Client and MDAC 2.6 SP1.
The application worked fine with an Oracle 8.0.5 database.
After upgrading oracle database to 8.1.7.0.0, our ASP application works fine except when updating the same data record more than once. The application is not saving our updates.
We tested our application using Oracles ODBC driver v8.1.7.5.0
and experienced more problems. We had problems just bring up our data entry pages. In either case, we are returned with some 505 errors in our browser, problems with the ASP pages and IIS, the page is not displaying.
If anyone has some suggestions on how to fix my problem, please advise. Thanks in advance.

thanks...i saw one article with this approach..but the document did not present the detailed process...do you have one? i am still searching for a good procedure to follow...since it is an old database and focusing/studying old versions like this is a pain in the a**... :(

Does INNER JOIN work with Oracle 8i ? (ORA-00933)

hi,
I try to execute the sql:
SELECT
A0.FULL_NAME,A0.MANAGER_ID,A0.DEPT_NO,A0.TOP_DEPT
FROM
HR_ORG A0
INNER JOIN
HR_EMP A1
ON
A0.MANAGER_ID=A1.EMP_NO
WHERE
A1.NAME = 'michael'
but I caught an exception:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00933: SQL...(message in
chinese)
Does INNER JOIN work with Oracle 8i ?
thanks.

INNER JOIN syntax is introduced in 9i, it does not exists in 8i. You can rewrite your statement:
SELECT
A0.FULL_NAME,A0.MANAGER_ID,A0.DEPT_NO,A0.TOP_DEPT
FROM
HR_ORG A0
, HR_EMP A1
WHERE
A0.MANAGER_ID=A1.EMP_NO
AND
A1.NAME = 'michael'

Does Informatica 7.1 work with Oracle 10g?

Hi All,
I have Oracle 10g (10.2.0.1.0) and I just installed Informatica 7.1. While creating a new repository in Informatica Repository Admin Console, I am getting error as:
"Unable to create the repository content. Make sure that the database connection and the license keys are correct. Check the activity log for more details."
I confirmed that the license keys are correct. The database connection is also good as I could connect using the same username/password in SQLPlus. The activity log says:
WARNING : RS_39204 [Mon Mar 22 15:05:38 2010] : (5160|5392) Bad config file [Config\infrepo-es.cfg]. Has it been manually named and placed in the Config directory? The expected name is [Config\_Yrepository_0name_Z-es.cfg].

Error is [An error occurred while creating the repository.
I did not change anything manually,as it says in the warning. I have no idea what the error says.
My friend has Oracle 9i and he do not get any error like this. So does Informatica 7.1 works with Oracle 10g ?
Please help.
Yogini

Hi,
I found that with Oracle 10g you have to grant all DBA privileges to the repository user. This is not needed in Oracle 9i. Thats why I was getting error.
Now it works fine.
Thanks!

How to get exact match when working with Oracle Text?

Hi,
I'm running Oracle9i Database R2.
I would like to know how do I get exact match when working with Oracle Text.
DROP TABLE T_TEST_1;
CREATE TABLE T_TEST_1 (text VARCHAR2(30));
INSERT INTO T_TEST_1 VALUES('Management');
INSERT INTO T_TEST_1 VALUES('Busines Management Practice');
INSERT INTO T_TEST_1 VALUES('Human Resource Management');
COMMIT;
DROP INDEX T_TEST_1;
CREATE INDEX T_TEST_1_IDX ON T_TEST_1(text) INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT;
SELECT * FROM T_TEST_1 WHERE CONTAINS(text, 'Management')>0;
The above query will return 3 rows. How do I make Oracle Text to return me only the first row - which is exact match because sometimes my users need to look for exact match term.
Please advise.
Regards,
Jap.

But I would like to utilize the Oracle Text index. Don't know your db version, but if you slightly redefine your index you can achieve this (at least on my 11g instance) :
SQL> create table t_test_1 (text varchar2(30))
2 /
Table created.
SQL> insert into t_test_1 values ('Management')
2 /
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t_test_1 values ('Busines Management Practice')
2 /
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t_test_1 values ('Human Resource Management')
2 /
1 row created.
SQL>
SQL> create index t_test_1_idx on t_test_1(text) indextype is ctxsys.context filter by text
2 /
Index created.
SQL> set autotrace on explain
SQL>
SQL> select text, score (1)
2    from t_test_1
3   where contains (text, 'Management and sdata(text="Management")', 1) > 0
4 /
TEXT                             SCORE(1)

Designer will not work on express edition of the Oracle Database. You will need the Standard or the Enterprise Edition of the Database.

For database access from Java, you will use JDBC.
For the specifics of the oracle spatial database, you'll have to check the documentation/forum of Oracle.
