The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Reports: multiple problems: printing, querying, trigger

Asked by boelaars in Oracle IAS Application Server

Tags:

I am making my first baby stept with Oracle Reports Services and have a few things I can't figure out. (This is more or less a 'help me get started please' :-)

a) I installed Oracle (9.0.4) on both Win2k and WinXP. Both are on the same network and both have the same printer installed as default (and only) printer. Both Oracle Reports servers have the same configurations (Except for their hostname and IP dependent config switches ofcourse). Running a report on the WinXP system goes just fine: I enter the correct URL in a webbrowser and it rolls out of the printer. But whenever I try to run a report on the Win2k server it gives me the error "REP-3002: Error initializing printer.  Please make sure a printer is installed." Which is rediculous because it is installed perfectly fine. I tried this with multiple printers. Also on the XP box no matter what the printer settings are in the windows printer dialog, it always wants to print from the multi-purpose paper feeder (tray 0) and no other one. Which is rather anoying. I suppose there must be some way to tell Reports Services to use another one. Any hints/tips/suggestions?

b) In my report I defined a user parameter KP_ID which I use in my query as '... where id = :KP_ID'. The report is printed without any text though. Just the background image appears. I suppose this is because I fail to understand how to create the proper key in cgicmd.dat. Currently it looks like this:

brief: userid="user/pass@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=testserver)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=MYSID)))" report=D:\projects\reports\brief.rdf destype=printer

What to add? I fail to understand the bit of documentation in the cgicmd.dat file I guess.

c) I installed the event-based reporting API in the Oracle 9i DB server (9.2) but now am searching for explanation on how to create a trigger that will call this report whenever an insert occurs on a specific table, but the documentation CD is not of any help, or I am just to stupid to find the correct page in that jungle of documents. Heh.

A lot of questions. I know. Assigned all points I currently own. Hmm... think I should become a paying member here. Will fix that soon.Start Free Trial
