Any way to automate a job to execute several Oracle Reports to run at the end of every month and either email them to a list of people or possibly save them to a location on a network drive.
At first, I started out with 2 avenues of thought:
1) The following link raised the option of an Oracle Scheduler, but from my research, the scheduler only runs database jobs, shell scripts, batch files, etc.:
[URL]......
2) I was thinking about possibly creating a database job of some sort to call the reports, but from the following link, I've determined that one cannot create+call a stored/database procedure to run Oracle Report files. So there goes my second hope.
[URL].......
So, it appears that the scheduler won't meet my requirements and now I think I'm almost out of options.
My last resort is creating a database job that queries required information and spooling the data + various formatting "stuff" into a txt file. Then, that txt file would be my report. This seems a little savage and I would like to think that there's a ay to automatically run an .REP against a database and save an electronic copy of the report somewhere.
Is it possible to automate the execution of Oracle Reports and then saving the report in a particular format (xls/pdf/rtf/etc.)?
My user would like to have a way to attach files to database records. For simplicity, we'll say that each employee in the database could have 0-many file attachments associated with them. I know how to make this part work using Oracle Forms.
So that's the easy part for me. The tough part is that they want to be able to run an Oracle Report on our application server (displays as a PDF, also downloadable as a PDF) and have links on this report to the attachments that they uploaded using the forms process above.
For the idea of storing the files on a folder somewhere, I simply created a text object on the report that had it's hyperlink property pointing to the file location. Done.. opens fine.
However, I want to be able to have the option of storing these files in the database instead, just in case we can't go with the shared folder idea. I'm not sure how to make this work. I can store a blob in the database.. but how do I link to that blob on the report for them to be able to download it? Is this even possible?
how to create a download link on the Oracle Report that let's them download a file out of the database.
I have a doubt; can we format a particular word in oracle reports at runtime..?
Ex:-
A text filed contains data Quote:We request #BANK# to finance the same Bill as per agreed interest rate and other terms and conditions agreed on the above addendum and immediately remit the proceeds to our account A/c no. #ACCOUNTNO#, held with your Bank.
We need to make #BANK#, #ACCOUNTNO# are bold at runtime, Is there any method to format characters at runtime..?
Currently some jobs created in WBT scripting need to converted into oracle,plsql.There is one job in WBT scripting, which will invoke the oracle reports inside and generate the PDF files in the destination path as follows:
a = runhide("c:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe", "http://pscm9722:7778/reports/rwservlet?USERID=%LOGONINFO%+server=rep_pscm9722+destype=file+desname=D:ORACLE10G\%CCALLRptName%+desformat=PDF+PARAMFORM=no+report=PCCALL.RDF") a = runhide("c:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe", "http://pscm9722:7778/reports/rwservlet?
[code]...
Now, i want to convert this into oracle,plsql? Is it possible or not?
I migrated a Oracle 6i Report to Oracle Report 9i so I'm trying to execute a this report in the Run Web Layout, but this doesn't bring me any information, how can i run this reports in the Web layout?
When i run this report en the Paper Layout it's bring me data. When a run the report just bring me a blank web page.
I am creating a report which generates the data to a PDF/CSV based on users Input.When I create the report using Report Builder and execute the report,Delimited data appears in a PDF layout.
But if I add the below code in After Parameter Form trigger,the column headers keeps repeating with the data.
function AfterPForm return boolean is begin IF :P_DESTYPE = 'CSV' THEN :MODE :='DEFAULT'; :DESFORMAT:='DELIMITED'; Elsif :P_DESTYPE = 'PDF' THEN :DESTYPE := 'CACHE'; :DESFORMAT:='PDF'; END IF; return (TRUE); end; [code]....
But the PDF output seems fine where the header is shown only once.I could see many posts regarding this in Oracle reports 6i wherein delimited_hdr=no is used in Command Line but I would like to know the work around in Oracle reports 10g.
In my requirement i have to move a field from bottom to the first page of report. I try to drag the field but i think it's in multiple frame .i am very new to oracle how can i work with multiple frame in layout wizard.
I am unable to properly align two objects in the layout editor in Oracle Reports. The form report I am trying to design must be perfect and I need to highlight a particular report object (data item) by adding a narrow box (boilerplate) next to it on the left hand side, which is filled with a contrasting colour and contains an asterisk.
The problem is this: I cannot seem to align them properly (horizontal stack, align top). Even if I use the 'size objects' option to make them exactly the same vertical size, the align option stated above does the horizontal stack, but vertically they are not aligned - nor can I manoeuvrings the boilerplate box into place manually.
The environment of my company consist of an ERP system developed using Oracle Forms 4.5 and Reports 2.5. Now, due to increase in business activities, there is a lot of requests from users for reports in Excel sheet.
Our company is planning for Oracle ERP Rel 12....and it is under process of analysis..due to which there is no chance of upgrade to latest Developer Suite.
As of now, to fulfill user requirements of Excel based reports...what do you think is best and permanent solution? Is there any plug-in or Business Process or Business Intelligence application llike ORACLE BI Spreadsheet plug-in..which meets our demand.
As of now provide users with options to run the report and generate output in HTML format, from there, they copy it to Excel..but this process is not at all user friendly and feasible.
For a requirement, i need to call an Oracle Report from a PL/SQL Package or Procedure. Explain on how this can done. Mine is an Oracle Reports 6i version.
I have a report I am currently working on...see attached file. I have circled two symbols. I know the one on the left is "page break after" but I am not sure why this field would have this setting.
Tell me what the symbol on the right means? Also, I have confine and flex set to "off" on all fields and items, yet when I move one of the fields other fields start to move as well. I am supposed to swap the bill to and ship to address which should be simple but so far it's not.
I have .rdf files from mid 1990's ( I'm not sure what is the version, perhaps 2.5 ) and now I would like to modify them by Oracle Reports Builder 6i or 9i. If I try to open those files by Oracle Reports Builder 6i I get the following error message:
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'C:file.rdf' REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document
So I made a conclusion that those .rdf files are too old for 6i. Do I need to convert, and especially how, those files? .rdf files where copied from Unix machine to Win XP machine where Oracle Report Builder is installed.
I have a table (medicine_frequency) which has the following items: ----------------- AGE DRUG_DESCRIPTION FREQ MORNING NOON EVENING BEFORE_BEDTIME OTHER ----------------- I have to prepare a report in such a way that in a field it has to display the values of morning/noon/evening(once if all three are there) like 'Take 1 tablet'
We have a reports proces which we want to produce a report where the browser windows doest not display, or if it does, quickly closes after the report is completed.We are using Forms Version 10.1.2.0.2, Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0, OS is Windows XP Pro SP3
We have tried the below, but the primary application window closes, not the report server window. - http - removed due to form message:You cannot use links until you have posted more than 5 messages.
We have modified the forms trigger to produce the report as shown below, but get the error: FRM-41213: Unable to connect to the Report Server
Current theory is the connection to the database is lacking the user id and password since the cmdkey is not specified. How can we specify the cmdkey when using the run_report_object?
i have created a report in dis report i created bind parameters..how to capture these parameters into a table(for this i hav created a new table) means if i pass delivery_id at runtime
i need to insert this value into what ever i hav created table next time if i pass same value i need to update that record where should i write dis code in a report and can any one send script for this.
I could not connect the reports builder to the database. Im trying to connect it to the XE database. I checked the tns names and the hosts. Everything seems to be fine. But still when i try to connect the report it throws an error "ORA 12541- tns no listner"..
We are generating Payslips thru oracle reprots. It is working perfectly. I would like to know the soltuions for the following if possible.
is there any way thru which I can disable the editing options of PDF file Is there any way I can embade a specific passward into the PDF so that only the employee can open his own payslip.
i was searching for the example of subject mentioned and visited the following website

here is a tutorial to create such report, but i am confused as here in Report's Data Model they created 3 Ref Cursor Queries and did not Close the opened cursor, is there no need of this or any mistake or if it necessary, where have to Close the cursor?First, they have created following Packages
PACKAGE concl_cv IS type conclass_rec is RECORD (EMPLOYEE_ID NUMBER(6), FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(20), LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(25),
[code]...
then, created Functions which created in Ref Cursor Query in Data Model function q_portdescRefCurDS return port_cv.portdesc_refcur is temp_portdesc port_cv.portdesc_refcur; begin open temp_portdesc for select department_id, department_name from departments;
[code]...
nothing here any Close cursor statement.i am trying to explore this area of the development.
When running my query in sql developer, I have to execute the command apps.fnd_global.apps_initialize(user_id, resp_id, resp_appl_id) in order to show the result of my query. Without this, the query returns nothing. The problem is I am using this query as a custom query for my Discoverer report and my report does not show any record.
