Xdg-mime reports application/xml for fodt

Hi all
1) I have update the system wide mime database.
2) Then I have followed instructions here https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ch … n_via_MIME:
> cat ~/.local/share/mime/packages/fodt.xml
=>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mime-info xmlns='http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info'>
<mime-type type="application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text">
<glob pattern="*.fodt"/>
</mime-type>
</mime-info>
>update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime
3) Also, just in case:
> xdg-mime install --novendor fodt.xml
But everything to no avail:
> xdg-mime query filetype eea.fodt
=> application/xml
instead of application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text. So xdg-open opens *.fodt with vim (my default app for xml files) instead of libreoffice-writer.
Any clue???
Regards
Carlos

I too got annoyed at those unreliable mime-type inspectors and went searching for a better one that used the command line. I found "perl-file-mimeinfo" which comes with a wonderful script called "mimetype".

"file -i" and "xdg-mime" reports wrong mimetype for zip files

If I run "file something.zip" it returns "Zip archive data" as it should, but if I run "file -i something.zip" or "xdg-mime query filetype something.zip" they both return "application/octet-stream; charset=binary" instead of "application/zip; charset=binary".
I already tried to
remove /usr/share/mime/mime.cache and ~/.local/share/mime/mime.cache, then run update-mime-database on both folders
delete the whole ~/.local/share/mime folder
remove and reinstall mime-types and shared-mime-info
without any success.
I hope someone can help me on this because I've ran out of ideas.

Converting Standard Oracle Report to XML for excel output

I have gone through the steps of copying a concurrent program for a standard report to a new program, changed the output format to xml, ran the new concurrent job, saved the output as a .xml, then using the xml publisher template builder for word (Oracle Patch 5887917) tried to modify record information so each record will be on the same line in an Excel format. I tried de-normalising the hierarchy using the ../.. syntax to traverse up the hierarchy but only the data at the lowest level displays. Has anyone else run into this issue or have any ideas on how I can fix it.
Here is the xml when I insert a table and convert the table to text just so you can see the hierarchy I'm trying to de-normalise; these are all the fields but not in the order I would want them displayed...

Configure ePortfolio for Crystal Reports 9 Report Application Server for Users to Run Reports

Post Author: lacc
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Sorry for this basic question but Crystal 9 is no longer supported and I am having trouble finding any documentation about how to configure ePortfolio let alone obtain any help from Crystal support.
I have a set of .RPT files and would like the simplest and quickest method of distribution to the users with as little coding and fuss as possible.
We have the ePortfolio page up and running but the users can only view the reports from ePortfolio. They also need to be able to run (refresh) the reports and enter the parameters which have already been built into the .RPT file. Providing access to the deactivated Schedule and History links would also be useful though not a priority unlike access to refresh and enter parameters.
I usually create reports to run from within an application which I can handover to the application developer so working out how to distribute via this method is pretty new to me.
I've also had a quick look at the Crystal Reports Viewer XI which appears to be backward compatible for Crystal 9 reports however this also appears to only allow users to view, not generate, reports.
Any recommendations? Or could you point me in the direction of some documentation that might assist?

Post Author: lacc
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I think I've worked out that we are actually using ePortfolio Lite. Would anyone be able to confirm if there are any configuration options for ePortfolio Lite? I think we only have the Crystal Reports 9 Advanced version, not Crystal Reports 9 Enterprise. Would this mean that we therefore only have ePortfolio Lite not ePortfolio?

[SOLVED] pcmanfm lost default applications settings for office docs

I'm not sure if it was the Libreoffice recent update or not, but I no longer have any application settings for office documents (ppt, doc, xls, ods, odp, odt, etc.). When I right click to choose an application, none are listed. I tried the suggestion from the wiki to install gnome-menus but the situation was no better after a logout/login.
Even inputting a custom command like:
/usr/bin/soffice --impress %f
does not work. It seems that the "Open with" dialog is completely function-less.
Any suggestions/experience with this?

I fixed this. I just had to figure out the correct mimetypes and re-add them. I still believe this used to be down automatically, but not a big deal. Part of my problem was trying to use xdg-mime to set defaults for "application/ppt" when it's really "application/powerpoint."
I found this list of mimetypes that was really helpful for setting defaults for .doc, .xls, and .ppt.
There are also listings for the correct mimetypes for .odt, .ods, and .odp. In the end, my ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list looks like this:
[Default Applications]
application/pdf=evince.desktop
txt/application=emacs.desktop
tex/application=emacs.desktop
application/powerpoint=libreoffice-impress.desktop
application/msword=libreoffice-writer.desktop
application/excel=libreoffice-calc.desktop
application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.presentation=libreoffice-impress.desktop
application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet=libreoffice-calc.desktop
application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text=libreoffice-writer.desktop

DB link problem between active Data Guard and report application database

My database version in 11.2.0.2.0 and OS is Oracle Solaris 10 9/10.
I am facing a problem in my Active data guard Database for reporting purpose. Active Data guard information is as below.
SQL> select name, database_role, open_mode from v$database;
NAME DATABASE_ROLE OPEN_MODE
ORCL PHYSICAL STANDBY READ ONLY WITH APPLY
Problem detail is below
I have created a db link (Name: DATADB_LINK) between active data guard and report application database for reporting purpose.
SQL> create database link DATADB_LINK connect to HR identified by hr using 'DRFUNPD';
Database link created.
But when I run a query using db link from my report application database I got this below error.
ORA-01555: snapshot too old: rollback segment number 10 with name "_SYSSMU10_4261549777$" too small
ORA-02063: preceding line from DATADB_LINK
Then I check Active Data Guard database alart log file and get below error
ORA-01555 caused by SQL statement below (SQL ID: 11yj3pucjguc8, Query Duration=1 sec, SCN: 0x0000.07c708c3):SELECT "A2"."BUSINESS_TRANSACTION_REFERENCE","A2"."BUSINESS_TRANSACTION_CODE",MAX(CASE "A1"."TRANS_DATA_KEY" WHEN 'feature' THEN "A1"."TRANS_DATA_VALUE" END ),MAX(CASE "A1"."TRANS_DATA_KEY" WHEN 'otherFeature' THEN "A1"."TRANS_DATA_VALUE" END )
But the interesting point if I run the report query directly in Active Data Guard database, I never got error.
So is it a problem of DB link between active Data Guard and other database?

Editing my application.xml file

The server hosting our FMS does not have space to adequately store the media files over time. I have since connected a 500GB external drive to the server. This drive is mapped as the Z drive. I am not exactly sure how I need to edit my application.xml for all http requests to point to this external drive. Below is a small sample of the file. How would I correctly edit this file? Would I just add a line that says <Streams>/;${Z:\VOD_DIR}</Streams> ??? Do I need to delete either of the below lines?
- <Application>
- <StreamManager>
- <VirtualDirectory>
- 
<Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams>
<Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams>
</VirtualDirectory>
</StreamManager>

It doesn't seem to work. Does this only apply to rtmp:// ??? Because we are only using http:// to view our media.
My current application.xml looks like the below. I can still play all media located in the webroot\vod directory but not from the external drive. Do I need to delete <Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams> and <Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams> ??? The Z drive is the external hard drive. Did I add the entry correctly?
<Streams>/;Z:\vod</Streams>
<Streams>/;${VOD_COMMON_DIR}</Streams>
<Streams>/;${VOD_DIR}</Streams>

Excel Output for Standard Reports using XML Publisher

Hi All,
Customer wants to get Excel Output for the existing Standard/Custom Reports using XML Publisher. I followed the following procedure.
1. Changed the output to XML for Concurrent program ( Trial Balance - Detail )
2. Used the Existing seeded Template
3. Ran the Report using EXCEL as the output.
When I clicked on View Output, I am not able to see the Excel output. I am seeing the HTML tags in the output window. Verified that Viewer Options existed for Excel as follows:
File Format=Excel, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel.
When I ran the report with PDF output. I can see the PDF output.
Ran the HTML output with new Viewer Option ( File Format=HTML, Mime Type=application/vnd.ms-excel) then I can see the output in Browser in the Excel format. I did this test after going through the Metalink Note: Note:316752.1
My question is.. Do I need always choose the HTML ouput in the options window to trigger the Viewer option for HTML. Customer may not like this idea. He would like to choose the Excel Output and see the output in Excel format either in the Browser or Microsoft Excel.
Can someone in this situation before help me out.
Thanks,
V

Questions rephrase:
1. Is the output is same for HTML and Excel options ?
2. Why the output is viewable with HTML option and not with Excel option ?
Customer has XML Publisher Version 5.0.1 and in the process of applying 5.6.1
Thanks,
V

How to add extra fields in xml for BI report

Hi ,
I am trying to create a po print report .
I took oracle standard po print program , Cloned it with output as xml and based on that i am creating the layout for my po print report using xml publisher word doc tool . Now In the oracle po print rdf there is no field like requestor email,phone numbers. I want these two fields on my po print .How can i get those fields .If i see requestor portion in xml its as below
<LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>FRANK, SCOTT</ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>
          </G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
</LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
but I want some thing like
<LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
<ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>FRANK, SCOTT</ONE_REQUESTOR_NAME>
               <ONE_REQUESTOR_PHONE>select 123456</ONE_REQUESTOR_PHONE>
               <ONE_REQUESTOR_FAX>111111111</ONE_REQUESTOR_FAX>
               <ONE_REQUESTOR_EMAIL>[email protected]</ONE_REQUESTOR_EMAIL>
</G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
</LIST_G_ONE_REQUESTOR>
How can I achieve this ...should I make a change in standard RDF for this or is there a way we can pull these details in xml itself ??
Please help .
Regards,
Chandra

I was just think on the same line if we can manage to fetch additional fields like phone number, email address of the requestor by writing a pl/sql in xml itself .But i see that atleast the requestor name should be passed into that query in case there is a way to do it .
Hopefully the change to rdf is the option .
Thanks Srini for prompt response.

Hello,
Whoever wrote the CustomCodeGenerator will have to help you with this one. We know nothing about the underlying code they are using and therefore can't determine the cause.
Appears the error is it can't even load the report so there is something wrong with the workings. Open the report again in CR Designer and Verify Database and then check the changes you did. Something is not right or the DB driver their application is using does not match with what you are using.

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb.But the output records is originally 4000 records. When copy to new excel it is showing 3.5 mb only. Does anyone knows the answer for this issue?

When running an xml publisher report the xml output leads to 9 mb and the excel output file leads to 20 mb. The records contained in excel file is 4000 records. When taking the excel records and copy to new excel file the excel file size is 3.5 mb only.Why does the oracle software generates 20mb file?
Does any one knows the answer please advice?

Hello,
This issue is because the Excel output from BI Publisher is MHTML (XML Publisher generates XHTML) not binary .xls.
MHTML and XHTML are more verbose formats than binary .xls.
It will be large because the current Excel output is just an HTML and not compressed like PDF. Please use the workaround (save it as .xls file). This is a known limitation of RTF layout templates.
BI Publisher Enterprise has a new feature True Excel Templates. The layouts generate binary Excel output.
Excel Output File Size Generated By BI Publisher is Very Large (Doc ID 760437.1)

hi,,,
it seems OS package version conflict
Please check glibc and openmotif version (its responsible for reports)
and
Set the environment variable MALLOC_CHECK_=0 and bounce the Concurrent Managers
MALLOC_CHECK_ can be changed in two places :-
1. Add this to the $APPL_TOP/custom<TWO_TASK>_<HOSTNAME>.env
MALLOC_CHECK_=0
Then restart the concurrent managers and retest
2. Change it in the adovars.env file
Again bounce the concurrent managers and retest
