View HTML output on MAC

Date: Tue, 22 Jun 1999 12:06:01 +0100
From: Nic Crotch n.crotch@ucl.ac.uk
Subject: NCA and Macs

Dear All,

We are endeavoring to support Macs as one of our client machine types using Apple MJR 2.1and IE4.5.

The Forms Client applet runs fairly well but we have a problem when attempting to view HTML report output or on-line help i.e. anything which requires a new browser window to be spawned . My suspicion is that this maybe something to do with the param name"clientBrowser" value"iexplore" line in the static html on the web server and/or the Mac equivalent of "path" on the client.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

We are on 11.0.2 on Solaris 2.6.

TIA

Subject: GEN: Error while running any reports from CM

Hi
We have Oracle Apps 10.7 SC installed on AIX RS6000. When trying to run any reports from CM, this is what we get

This request finished with an error and produced the following completion message: APP-01125 Concurrent Manager got error running Oracle Reports for request 1477035 The processing began on 28-JUN-99 10:17:36 and ended on 28-JUN-99 10:17:37. You may find more information on the cause of the error in the request log or the concurrent manager log.

When looked into logs, it says process exited with status 9/14 sometimes.

Thanks for any advice,

Submit Request Set from outside Apps

Also refer 'Third Party Softwares' module

From: "Kelly.Newman" Kelly.Newman@plpit.fishersci.com
Subject: Request set submit
Date: Mon, 28 Jun 1999 15:27:56 -0400

hi all,

Does anyone have any experience submitting a request set from outside of the application?

Here's the situation - we have a lot of interfaces from other systems. We kick off these interfaces from UNIX via concsub. After everything is done, we want our reports to run. We have them all built into a set, but cannot find a way to submit the set. The volume of the reports makes concsub'ing each one a cumbersome task. And, we don't have default printers on everything, so we also need to specify a printer from the concsub, which isn't allowed. We use the same report with parameters for monthly or weekly runs, so we just can't assign the printers in the program registration.

Any ideas/suggestions greatly appreciated. Right now someone gets a call in the middle of the night, and manually submits the set.



Customized reports

Date: Tue, 29 Jun 1999 10:09:19 -0500
From: Terry_Woodson@taylorbigred.com
Subject: Customized reports - Please Help if you can!!!!!

Hi All,

I am having a horrible problem. Last Friday, we upgraded from apps 11.0.28 to 11.0.3 and several bad things have happened. I had a customized Purchase Order and a customized AP Check. The rdf files for my reports are still out there, but when I go into the responsibility needed to run each report, and get to the window where I select which report I want to run, the porgram that runs the customized report is not in the list of values.

The first thing I did we reregister the executable and define the program again. Then I reassigned the program to its responsibility group. Now my problem is that I can see the option to run the report, and I can run it, and it will say that it completed normally, but the output files are all blank.

I called Oracle Support and got the biggest runaround all day yesterday. The first thing I heard was they don't support customized reports. I knew that. There is nothing wrong with my report. I ran the Oracle Standard PO and got a completed with error. The log file says it thinks it is still under version 11.0.28. Oracle Support said it was a "bug" and that they had a patch, but it will overwrite the current standard reports with newer versions, and that I will have to recustomize my custom reports off the new versions for them to work. If this is true, there is no need in creating custom reports if I will have to change them every time we upgrade! I have my reports stored in a separate directory so they will not be overwritten anyway. So, if anyone knows how I can get my custom reports to print without having to fix them, please let me know. For now we can't print any PO's at all, as the Oracle standard will not print on out preprinted PO forms - the fields are all wrong.

Thanks for your help! Terry


Signatures, logs etc on Report 2.5

Date: Mon, 5 Jul 1999 10:40:31 -0300
From: "MacDougall, Mark" mmacdougall@deltaware.com
Hi All!

We are trying to develop for our client an option for printing forms on reports using REPORTS2.5. We are having difficulty printing reports which contain shading, logos,signatures,lines and boxes. Signatures is the most important issue at this time

Following are a list of steps we have performed to date.....

1.) We have a HP4000TN laswerjet printer which is PostScript Compatible and set to AUTO personality.

2.) We are using Financials 10.7, Unix Database 7.3.2.3

3.) Our printers are all working properly in Oracle and have been.

4.) We have created a print Driver in the financials with no setup Strings

5.) We have added the line VERSION=2.0b to the executable options

6.) We get output when the report is run , but all we get is the report with proper output data but there are 16 stars in the middle of the report.

We think that the ppd file may be the fix to our problem. We have tried through HP to get a ppd driver file for UNIX but there are none available. We have also tried the 2 hp ppd files that are in the ppd directory, they have failed us also.

Any ideas that you have would be greatly appreciated as we are under some time constraints.

Special:Copy feature for Custom Report

Date: Tue, 06 Jul 1999 10:28:06 -0700
From: "Catherine Gauchat" catherine_gauchat@tcibr.com
Subject: Custom Reports

Hi,

We had a couple of custom reports created for us and when we view the ouput the Special:Copy feature does not work with them. We get error message FRM-40735:SPECIAL1 trigger raised unhandled exception NO_DATA_FOUND. The output file is in the proper directory and it can be opened and copied.

The copy feature does work for all standard Oracle reports.

We are running 11.0.2 on NT.
Thanks,
Catherine

Report Sets going into Pending/Paused mode

Date: Fri, 5 Feb 1999 16:30:55 -0500 (EST)
From: "Khurana, Dinesh" DKhurana@ea.com
Subject: Report Sets going into Pending/Paused mode

We are having intermittent problem with the report sets. It starts running properly , completes one or two reports successfully and then gets hung with the status PENDING/PAUSED . Other reports in the report sets keep waiting. Only workaround for us to run that report set is to terminate and then resubmit it again. This does not happen always.

We have talked to Oracle Support but they could not be of any help on this issue .

Any help/ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
