Oracle Report Builder 12c Download

[Arleen Smelko]

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.

I can not connect to my oracle instances while in Report Developer. I get a message that says : REP-0501 Unable to connect to specified database ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve service name. I assume this means that my tnsnames.ora file is not pointing to a legitimate instance. I have done a Windows search of my entire hard drive and updated each and every tnsnames.ora file. I know that the Report developer executable is orantBINRWBLD60.EXE. Can someone identify exactly where the Report Developer is looking for the connection file(tnsnames)?

Dear

You have a tnsnames.ora file in the following folder :

orantnet80admin

you have to go there and define your database connection parameters.

Then, your report builder will be working fine.

I forgot to mention that where it looks will depend upon your sqlnet.ora

file found in the same location. If it has entries other than tnsnames to

resolve the connection, then it could possible search your network for a

file. Even if tnsnames is the only entry, it can (and does) find other

tnsnames.ora files on your local computer. (make sure all of your tnsnames

files have the necessary entries in this case)

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 !

To use data from an Oracle database in your report, you must have a dataset that's based on a report data source of type Oracle. This built-in data source type uses the Oracle Data Provider directly and requires an Oracle client software component. This article explains how to download and install drivers for Power BI Report Builder.

The following commands that use Oracle's OraProvCfg.exe tool to register Oracle's Managed and Unmanaged ODP.NET drivers are provided as examples for use with the above Microsoft products. For the configuration of the ODP.NET drivers specific to your environment, you may need to contact Oracle support or reference Oracle's documentation for Configuring Oracle Data Provider for .NET.

Power BI Report Builder uses Managed ODP.NET for authoring paginated (RDL) reports. You only need the following steps when using Oracle ODAC drivers 12.2 and later. Otherwise, they install by default to a non-machine-wide configuration for a new Oracle home installation. These steps assume you've installed the ODAC 18.x files to the c:\oracle32 folder where Power BI Report Builder is installed. Follow these steps to register Managed ODP.NET:

Otherwise, they install by default to a non-machine-wide configuration for a new Oracle home installation. These steps assume you've installed the ODAC 18.x files to the c:\oracle64 folder where Power BI Report Builder is installed. Follow these steps to register Managed ODP.NET:

Contact your database administrator for connection information and for the credentials to use to connect to the data source. The following connection string example specifies an Oracle database on the server named "Oracle18" using Unicode. The server name must match what is defined in the Tnsnames.ora configuration file as the Oracle server instance name.

To create a dataset, you can either select a stored procedure from a drop-down list or create an SQL query. To build a query, you must use the text-based query designer. For more information, see Text-based Query Designer User Interface (Power BI Report Builder).

If the query includes query variables, corresponding report parameters are automatically generated. Named parameters are supported by this extension. For Oracle version 9 or later, multi-value parameters are supported.

Report parameters are created with default property values that you might need to modify. For example, each report parameter is data type Text. After the report parameters are created, you might have to change default values.

Before you can connect an Oracle data source, the system administrator must have installed the version of the .NET Data Provider for Oracle that supports retrieving data from the Oracle database. This data provider must be installed on the same computer as Power BI Report Builder and also on machine hosting Power BI Gateway. For more information, see Manage your data source - Oracle.

When you use an Oracle data source, if the paginated report has query type set as Stored Procedure, it fails to execute in the Power BI service due to a Power BI Gateway limitation. As a workaround, if you're using Oracle 12 or above, set query type to text and call the stored procedure inline, as in the following example.

I'm currently investigating a issue that occurs when trying to start report builder while connecting to an Oracle dataserver from Progress 11.2 client. I can connect without any problems to this database using prowin32.exe executable.

Create with the Oracle Report Builder stylish, smart-looking database reports. The flexible report editor can define group and page headers as well as group and page footers and even calculation fields are available to accomplish complex database reports.

Along with the flexible database client of Oracle Open Office it is possible to create database reports from HSQL, Oracle, or almost any other database type.

The Oracle Report Builder uses the Pentaho Reporting Flow Engine of Pentaho BI.

The source code for this extension was transferred to the Apache OpenOffice project in 2011. If you are interested in volunteering to develop this extension, please contact the Apache OpenOffice mailing list: ooo-dev at incubator.apache.org

I know, it's a bit late as opposed to this previous message. But I think it is still interesting to know what I did to make it work. I have been in panic thinking I would lose hours of work on my database.

The Apache OpenOffice 3.4 can work with ORB 1.2.1rev2, excluding charts. The charts graphical layer is changed in in AOO 3.4 and not changes in report builder, as consequence the reports with charts no more runs. It gives error "Failed to parse report."

When attempting to Add Report Builder to OpenOffice from Tools>Extensions and then pressing Add I am taken to my Documents load panel and asked to enter a name, presumably Oracle Report Builder, but on entering this (Documents) and pressing Open, I get an error message "No such file exists" Can you help, please? mck...@yahoo.com

Hi,

OpenOffice is a great product, I reckon it's way better than some expensive ones. Some extensions are at the same level, some not. Oracle Report Builder is just not stable enough. I give you an example:
