Oracle Report Builder Download For Windows 10

[Kizzy Burnworth]

Iwould like to know how to launch 12c Reports Builder on Windows 10.

As you can see in the screenshot below, Oracle Reports has been installed on my machine :

However, when starting the WebLogic server and WLS_FORMS then double-clicking on the rwbuilder.exe file (that is located on this path: C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\bin), nothing happens and the file does not open.

After taking a look at the thread on the following link : -12c-report-builder-not-opening , I found out that I needed to start the WLS_REPORTS. In order to do that, this how I proceeded :

I ran this command-line : startManagedWeblogic.cmd WLS_REPORTS

Then, when entering username and password to boot the WebLogic server,

I get this error message: The server name WLS_REPORTS is unknown to the Administrator Server. Check if restart is required.

Any idea how to fix that?

Thanks in advance.

Viewed 1000+ timesYou Asked I have been working with the Oracle Database for several years now, but have recently taken a position with a company implementing Oracle Financials. As part of the implementation, a mandate has been made to minimize customizations (no new forms), but report enhancement is necessary.

I took the course on Oracle Reports Developer, and now I'd like to start working on report customization. I've spent the last couple weeks sifting through documentation, and to my knowledge I have been unable to find anywhere where oracle talks about modifying existing reports when your Apps server is on a different platform from your desktops.

Basically, I need to take the report executable from a UNIX box, and transfer it along with any attached libraries to my developer environment (Windows NT 4.0). How do I go about doing this? Correct me if I am wrong, but if I just use FTP, I have a problem with differet compiled versions (Unix as opposed to NT). I see the same problem arising if I create a new report for use with Oracle Apps.

Can you point me in the direction of how to proceed, or to documentation that I may have missed that would be of use?

Thanks a million!

and Tom said...In reports, the .rdf files may be transferred between platforms. The compiled version of the reports are .rep files. Reports can run directly off of the rdf files as well as the compiled rep files. For the libraries, you need the .pll files to move across platforms.

Make sure to issue "BIN" in ftp !

This chapter discusses issues and workarounds for Oracle Reports, including Oracle Reports Developer (Reports Developer) and Oracle Application Server Reports Services (Reports Services). The chapter includes the following topics:

The notes in this chapter cover issues and workarounds that are not documented in Oracle Reports 10g manuals and online help. For information about the new features in this release, refer to the Oracle Reports 10g page on OTN ( ), and to the "About this release" topic in the Reports Builder online help.

When you are debugging an OracleAS Reports Services JSP in Oracle9i JDeveloper (JDeveloper), you must disable any breakpoints that are not of source type. If you do not disable these breakpoints, a deadlock occurs. You can disable breakpoints that are not of source type in the Breakpoints window.

When you run a JSP report with the rw:graph tag in JDeveloper, the graph image is not visible in the browser. To fix this problem, set the IMAGEURL parameter in the rwservlet.properties file in oracle_home/reports/conf:

You use osfind to find various osagent instances running on the network. However, osfind does not work with the JDK version used by Oracle Application Server (version 1.4). To work around this issue and find osagent instances running on the network, you must run osfind with the following settings:

Select Netscape Navigator 7.0+ as the browser. Ensure that the path and the browser program name are accurate. To change the browser location (if the path or the program name is incorrect):

Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4) has been changed to generate the report output relative to the top-left corner of the physical paper. Earlier, the printer's printable area was used, causing inconsistencies in the location of the report output when used across different printer models.

By default, the non-printable left margin of the printer is ignored. The printing origin starts from the top-left corner (0,0) of the physical paper and not the printable area. If you have set the registry key value to YES and then want to switch to the default, you can set the key value to NO, or you can delete the key.

You must provide enough margin in your report's layout to put the data within the printable area. The margin fields in the Page Setup dialog box of Reports Builder have been disabled to ensure consistency with OracleAS Reports Services.

The elimination of the dependency on the DISPLAY environment variable, which was required in prior releases to define the windowing system display surface for creating images and getting pixel resolution.

Oracle Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web and the Reports Builder online help for more information on the REPORTS_DEFAULT_DISPLAY environment variable and screenprinter.ppd.

When you select a radio button in the New Program Unit dialog box, close the dialog box (for example, by clicking on Cancel) and then reopen the New Program Unit dialog box, you cannot select the same radio button.

Select a radio button other than the one you selected previously, then select the one you want. For example, to select the Function radio button, first select the Procedure radio button. You can then select the Function radio button.

Text in the user interface of Reports Builder, such as the window title, uses fonts taken from the system resource files for the current language. These system resource files are supplied with the Oracle Reports installation. In Oracle Reports, you can map these fonts in the [RWBUILDER] section of uifont.ali. If found, the mapped font is used instead of the original font; if not, Oracle Reports uses the original font.

In the Web Source view of the Report Editor, the following languages may appear garbled: Arabic, Central European languages, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Thai, and Turkish. To work around this issue, you can set the font names for Reports Builder in uifont.ali as follows:

Ping timeout (OPMN-side): Ping timeout is the measure that OPMN uses to determine the time that it must wait for a callback from an in-process Reports Server (in OC4J_BI_FORMS), before considering it as a timeout.

Based on these values, there will be three ping attempts with a timeout of 30 seconds each at 20 second intervals. The first ping is done after the specified ping interval. Thus, from the time the OC4J is started by OPMN, approximately 150 (20 + 3*30 + 2*20) seconds will elapse before the process is considered unresponsive and restarted. However, if after OPMN connects to OC4J but OC4J is too slow in sending regular ONS notifications then the 30 second timeout is applicable.

Callback timeout (Reports Server-side): Callback timeout is the measure that Reports Server uses to determine the time that it must wait for a response from the engine before timing out. You can specify this value in the Reports Server configuration file, server_name.conf. This time out period is in milliseconds.

The REPORTS_GRAPH_IMAGE_DPI environment variable specifies a dots per inch (DPI) value for graphs displayed to a PDF file or on a printer. The default value for this environment variable is 72 DPI, which minimizes the time it takes to generate the report and reduces the report file size.

For Windows, set the value in the Windows registry key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOMEn\

REPORTS_GRAPH_IMAGE_DPI. Refer to Section 9.2.1.3, "Printing Reports Without Hardware-based Left Margins" for instructions on how to set a registry key value.

When you set a DPI value greater than 250 and your chart is bigger than 5"x5", you may also need to change the JVM heap size value using

REPORTS_JVM_OPTIONS to avoid an Out Of Memory error in the JVM.

You can use JVMOPTIONS to set options for Reports Runtime, Reports Builder, or Reports Converter's JVM. For example, you can use the following command line to start Reports Builder with a 512MB heap space:

In OracleAS Portal, when you have configured Oracle Reports Security settings for Reports Definition File Access by editing a reports definition file, you may encounter the following error when you click Run or Run as Portlet:

You can preview a report from Reports Builder by using the Run To Web Layout functionality. You do not need to have the Reports Server configured in order to use this functionality, because Reports Builder includes an embedded Oracle Application Server Containers for J2EE(OC4J) server.

After you upgrade to Oracle Reports 10g (9.0.4) from Oracle9i Reports Release 2 (9.0.2), you must ensure that the location in the environment variables CLASSPATH or REPORTS_CLASSPATH refer only to the oc4j.jar file in the 10g (9.0.4) Oracle home. You must remove the path to the 9.0.2 Oracle home oc4j.jar if it exists in either REPORTS_CLASSPATH or CLASSPATH.
