A.1.2 rwrun

The rwrun command runs a report using the Oracle9iAS Reports Services in-process server. When you run a .rep file, the PL/SQL is already compiled and will not be recompiled. If you are running an .rdf file, the PL/SQL is automatically recompiled, if necessary. It becomes necessary if the report wasn't compiled and saved from the Reports Builder or the platform or version on which you were running the report is incompatible with the platform on which it was last compiled and saved.

A.1.3 rwbuilder

The rwbuilder command invokes the Reports Builder. When you include a REPORT|MODULE keyword with the rwbuilder command at the command prompt, then press Enter, the Reports Builder opens with the specified report highlighted in the Reports Builder Navigator. When no report is specified, the Reports Builder opens with a Welcome dialog offering you the choice of opening an existing report or creating a new one.

A.1.4 rwconverter

The rwconverter command enables you to convert one or more report definitions or PL/SQL libraries from one storage format to another. For example, you can use rwconverter to:

Combine a report file with an XML file to create a new report

Note:

When a report is converted to a template, only objects in the report's header and trailer sections and margin area are used in the template. Objects in the main section are ignored.

Convert a report stored in an .rdf file to .rep or .rex files, or a .tdf file

Convert a report stored in a .rex file to an .rdf or .tdf file

Convert a library stored in the database to a .pld or .pll file

Convert a library stored in a .pld file into a database library or a .pll file

Convert a library stored in a .pll file into a database library of a .pld file

Note:

When you convert a report that has an attached library, convert the .pll files attached to the report before converting the .rdf/.rex file.

Batch create a PL/SQL script that batch registers reports in Oracle9iAS Portal

In some cases, rwconverter will automatically compile the report's PL/SQL as part of the conversion process. Provided your conversion destination is not a .rex file, rwconverter automatically compiles PL/SQL under the following conditions:

Converting a .rep file

Using a .rex file as the source

Using a report created on another platform as the source

In all other situations, you must compile the report's PL/SQL yourself (e.g., using ProgramCompileAll in the Reports Builder).

Note:

Fonts are mapped when a report is opened by the Reports Builder or Reports Runtime, not during the conversion.

A.1.7 rwserver

The rwserver command invokes the Reports Server. The Reports Server processes client requests, which includes ushering them through its various services, such as authentication and authorization checking, scheduling, caching, and distribution (including distribution to custom--or pluggable--output destinations). Reports Server also spawns runtime engines for generating requested reports, fetches completed reports from the Reports cache, and notifies the client that the job is ready.

A.2 Command Line Syntax

Following is the syntax for a command line, where keyword=value is a valid command line argument:

                                 
rwclient REPORT|MODULE=
                                
runfile USERID=
                                
username/
                                
password@
                                
database
                                
[ [
                                
keyword=]
                                
value|(
                                
value1,  
                                
value2, ...) ] SERVER=
                                
server_name

Keywords must be specified and can be used in any order following the command.

A.3 General Usage Notes

All file names and paths specified in the client command line refer to files and directories on the server machine, except for any file specified for the command file keyword ( CMDFILE=). In this case, the CMDFILE specified will be read and appended to the original command line (of which CMDFILE is a part) before being sent to the Reports Server. The runtime engine will not re-read the CMDFILE.

If you don't specify a path for a keyword value that includes a file name, The Reports Server will try to find the file from the REPORTS_PATH environment variable.

If the command line contains CMDFILE=, then the command file is read and appended to the original command line before being sent to Oracle9iAS Reports Server. The Oracle9iAS Reports Engine does not reread the command file. (See CMDFILE.)

A.4 Command Line Arguments

A.4.1 ACCESSIBLE

Table A-1 indicates which commands can use the ACCESSIBLE keyword.

Table A-1 Commands that can use ACCESSIBLE

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

yes

yes

yes

no

yes

yes

no

Description

Use ACCESSIBLE to specify whether accessibility-related features offered through Reports are enabled (YES) or disabled (NO) for PDF output. No means it isn't.

Syntax

ACCESSIBLE={YES|NO}

Values

YES means accessibility feature is enabled for Reports PDF output.

Default

NO

A.4.2 ARRAYSIZE

Table A-2 indicates which commands can use the ARRAYSIZE keyword.

Table A-2 Commands that can use ARRAYSIZE

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

yes

yes

yes

no

yes

yes

no

Description

Use ARRAYSIZE to specify the size (in kilobytes) for use with ORACLE array processing. Generally, the larger the array size, the faster the report will run.

Syntax

ARRAYSIZE= n

Values

A number from 1 through 9999 (note no comma is used with thousands). This means that Oracle9iAS Reports Runtime can use this number of kilobytes of memory per query in your report.

Default

10

Usage Notes

ARRAYSIZE can also be used with jobs run as JSPs.

A.4.3 AUTHID

Table A-3 indicates which commands can use the AUTHID keyword.

Table A-3 Commands that can use AUTHID

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

yes

yes

no

no

yes

yes

yes

Description

Use AUTHID to specify the user name and, optionally, the password to be used to authenticate users to the restricted Oracle9iAS Reports Server. User authentication ensures that the users making report requests have access privileges to run the requested report.

Syntax

AUTHID=u sername[/ password]

Values

Any valid user name and, optionally, password created in Oracle9iAS Portal. See your DBA to create new users accounts in Oracle9iAS Portal.

Default

None

Usage Notes

AUTHID can also be used with jobs run as JSPs.

If you have a single sign-on environment, then the Oracle Single Sign-on Server will perform the authentication step and pass only the user name to the Reports Server in AUTHID.

A.4.4 AUTOCOMMIT

Table A-4 indicates which commands can use the AUTOCOMMIT keyword.

Table A-4 Commands that can use AUTOCOMMIT

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

yes

yes

yes

no

yes

yes

no

Description

Use AUTOCOMMIT to specify whether database changes (for example, CREATE) should be automatically committed to the database. Some non-Oracle databases (for example, SQL Server) require that AUTOCOMMIT=YES.

Syntax

AUTOCOMMIT={YES|NO}

Values

YES or NO

Default

NO

Usage Notes

AUTOCOMMIT can also be used with jobs run as JSPs.

A.4.5 AUTOSTART

Table A-5 indicates which commands can use the AUTOSTART keyword.

Table A-5 Commands that can use AUTOSTART

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

no

no

no

no

no

no

yes

Description

Use AUTOSTART to specify that the Reports Server will automatically start after initial installation and after a reboot, without requiring a user logon.

Syntax

AUTOSTART={YES|NO}

Values

YES or NO

Default

NO

Usage Notes

The AUTOSTART keyword is only recognized on Microsoft Windows platforms.

A.4.6 BATCH

Table A-6 indicates which commands can use the BATCH keyword.

Table A-6 Commands that can use BATCH

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

no

no

no

yes

no

no

yes

Description

With rwconverter, BATCH suppress all terminal input and output in order to convert reports/libraries without user intervention. With rwserver, BATCH turns the server window dialog off (YES) or on (NO) to display or suppress process messages.

For all relevant commands, the BATCH option tells the server to run in no-UI mode. How it is used across commands is similar in that no UI is produced by the application when running from a command line that includes BATCH=YES. For example, for rwserver this allows the server to be run from scripts and remote agents so that no server dialog comes up while it is running.

Syntax

BATCH={YES|NO}

Default

NO

A.4.7 BCC

Table A-7 indicates which commands can use the BCC keyword.

Table A-7 Commands that can use BCC

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

yes

yes

no

no

yes

yes

no

Description

Use BCC to specify e-mail recipient(s) of a blind courtesy copy.

Note:
A blind copy is one in which the names of specified recipients are not visible (published) to other recipients.

Syntax

BCC= someone@foo.com OR BCC=" someone@foo.com,s ometwo@foo.com"

Values

Any one or more valid e-mail addresses.

Default

None

Usage Notes

To specify more than one e-mail address, enclose the list of addresses in quotation marks and separate each address in the list with a comma.

Related keywords include BCC, CC, FROM, REPLYTO, and SUBJECT. Note that DESNAME is used to specify the main recipient(s) of the e-mail.

BCC can also be used with jobs run as JSPs.

A.4.8 BLANKPAGES

Table A-8 indicates which commands can use the BLANKPAGES keyword.

Table A-8 Commands that can use BLANKPAGES

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

yes

yes

yes

no

yes

yes

no

Description

Use BLANKPAGES to specify whether to suppress blank pages when you print a report. Use this keyword when there are blank pages in your report output that you do not want to print.

Syntax

BLANKPAGES={YES|NO}

Values

YES means print all blank pages. NO means do not print blank pages.

Default

YES

Usage Notes

BLANKPAGES is especially useful if your logical page spans multiple physical pages (or panels), and you wish to suppress the printing of any blank physical pages.

A.4.9 BUFFERS

Table A-9 indicates which commands can use the BUFFERS keyword.

Table A-9 Commands that can use BUFFERS

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

yes

yes

yes

no

yes

yes

no

Description

Use BUFFERS to specify the size of the virtual memory cache in kilobytes. You should tune this setting to ensure that you have enough space to run your reports, but not so much that you are using too much of your system's resources.

Syntax

BUFFERS= n

Values

A number from 1 through 9999 (note that thousands are not expressed with any internal punctuation, e.g., a comma or a decimal point). For some operating systems, the upper limit might be lower.

Default

640

Usage Notes

If this setting is changed in the middle of your session, then the change does not take effect until the next time the report is run.

BUFFERS can also be used with jobs run as JSPs.

A.4.10 CACHELOB

Table A-10 indicates which commands can use the CACHELOB keyword.

Table A-10 Commands that can use CACHELOB

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

yes

yes

yes

no

yes

yes

no

Description

Use CACHELOB to specify whether to cache retrieved Oracle8 large object or objects in the temporary file directory on the Reports Server (specified in the environment variable REPORTS_TMP or by the tempDir property of the engine element in the Reports Server configuration file, < server_name>.conf>; note that a tempDir setting overrides a REPORTS_TMP setting.).

Syntax

CACHELOB=NO

Values

YES means to cache the LOB in the temporary file directory. NO means to not cache the LOB in the temporary file directory.

Default

YES

Usage Notes

You can only set this option on the command line.

If the location of the temporary file directory on the server does not have sufficient available disk space, then it is preferable to set this value to NO. Setting the value to NO, however, might decrease performance, as the LOB might need to be fetched from the database multiple times.

CACHELOB can also be used with jobs run as JSPs.

A.4.11 CC

Table A-12 indicates which commands can use the CC keyword.

Table A-11 Commands that can use CC

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

yes

yes

no

no

yes

yes

no

Description

Use CC to specify e-mail recipient(s) of a courtesy copy.

Syntax

CC= someone@foo.com OR CC="s omeone@foo.com, sometwo@foo.com"

Values

Any one or more valid e-mail addresses.

Default

None

Usage Notes

To specify more than one e-mail address, enclose the list of addresses in quotation marks and separate each address in the list with a comma.

Related keywords include BCC, CC, FROM, REPLYTO, and SUBJECT. Note that DESNAME is used to specify the main recipient(s) of the e-mail.

A.4.12 CELLWRAPPER

Table A-12 indicates which commands can use the CELLWRAPPER keyword.

Table A-12 Commands that can use CELLWRAPPER

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

yes

yes

no

no

yes

yes

no

Description

Use CELLWRAPPER to specify the character or characters that should be placed both before and after the cells in a delimited report output.

Syntax

CELLWRAPPER= value

Values

Any alphanumeric character or string of alphanumeric characters.

"

means a double quotation mark is placed on each side of the cell

'

means a single quotation mark is placed on each side of the cell

You can also use these reserved values:

tab

means a tab is placed on each side of the cell

space

means a single space is placed on each side of the cell

return

means a new line is placed on each side of the cell

none

means no cell wrapper is used

You can also use escape sequences based on the ASCII character set, such as:

\t

means a tab is placed on each side of the cell

\n

means a new line is placed on each side of the cell

Default

None

Usage Notes

This keyword can only be used if you have specified DESFORMAT=DELIMITED.

The cell wrapper is different from the actual delimiter. The cell wrapper specifies what character appears around delimited data. The delimiter indicates the boundary or break point between two pieces of data.

A.4.13 CMDFILE

Table A-13 indicates which commands can use the CMDFILE keyword.

Table A-13 Commands that can use CMDFILE

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

yes

yes

yes

yes

no

no

no

Description

Use CMDFILE to call a file that contains one report's command line arguments. The file called must be an ASCII file, either .txt or any other ASCII-type file.

CMDFILE differs from the cgicmd.dat file, in that CMDFILE can contain one command line for one report, where the cgicmd.dat file can contain multiple key-identified commands for multiple reports.

The CMDFILE keyword enables you to run a report without specifying a large number of arguments each time you invoke a run command.

Syntax

CMDFILE= cmdfile

Values

Any valid command file.

Default

None

Usage Notes

With rwservlet and rwcgi, use the key argument to refer to a key in the cgicmd.dat file in lieu of using the CMDFILE keyword.

A command file can reference another command file.

The syntax for a command line you specify in the command file is identical to that used on the command line.

Values entered on the command line override values specified in command files. For example, suppose you specify rwclient from the command line with COPIES set to 1 and CMDFILE set to RUNONE (a command file). The RUNONE file also specifies a value for COPIES, but it is set to 2. The value specified for COPIES in the command line (1) overrides the value specified for COPIES in the RUNONE file (2). Only one copy of the report will be generated.

The value for this keyword might be operating system-specific.

A.4.14 CMDKEY

Table A-14 indicates which commands can use the CMDKEY keyword.

Table A-14 Commands that can use CMDKEY

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

no

no

no

no

yes

no

no

Description

Use CMDKEY to call a key-identified command line in the cgicmd.dat file. For example:

http:// .../reports/rwservlet?cmddkey= key& ...

Note:
You can also use CMDKEY with modules run as JSPs. For more information, see Chapter 8, "Running Report Requests".

Syntax

CMDKEY= key

Values

The name of any key associated with a command line specified in the cgicmd.dat file.

Default

None

Usage Notes

When you use CMDKEY with rwservlet, you can use it in any order in the command line (or the URL, following the question mark). With rwservlet, you can use additional command line keywords along with CMDKEY.

CMDKEY can also be used with jobs run as JSPs.

A.4.15 CONTENTAREA

Table A-15 indicates which commands can use the CONTENTAREA keyword.

Table A-15 Commands that can use CONTENTAREA

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

yes

yes

no

no

yes

yes

no

Description

Use CONTENTAREA to specify the content area within Oracle Portal to which report output should be pushed. This keyword is maintained for backward compatibility with earlier versions of Oracle Portal (i.e., 3.0.9). For Oracle9iAS Portal, use PAGEGROUP. (See also SITENAME.)

Syntax

CONTENTAREA=" Name of Portal content area"

Values

The name of any valid Oracle Portal content area.

Default

None

Usage Notes

Use of this keyword is required to push Reports output to Oracle Portal. Put quotation marks around the value if the value has any character spaces in it or you are specifying the argument in the cgicmd.dat file.

Relevant keywords include CONTENTAREA, EXPIREDAYS, ITEMTITLE, OUTPUTFOLDER, OUTPUTPAGE, PAGEGROUP, REPLACEITEM, SCHEDULE, SITENAME, STATUSFOLDER, STATUSPAGE.

Oracle Portal objects, such as pages, page groups, and the like, have two names: a display name and an internal name. When you create objects within Oracle Portal that you will use with Oracle Reports output, keep the internal name and the display name the same, following the rules for internal naming specified in the Oracle Portal online help. This way, when you provide a value for a Portal-related keyword in a Reports command line, you will not run into problems with which name to specify.

A.4.16 COPIES

Table A-16 indicates which commands can use the COPIES keyword.

Table A-16 Commands that can use COPIES

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

Description

Use COPIES to specify the number of copies of the report output to print.

Syntax

COPIES= n

Values

Any valid integer from 1 through 9999 (note that thousands are not expressed with any internal punctuation, e.g., a comma or a decimal point).

Default

Taken from the Initial Value property of the COPIES parameter (the Initial Value was defined in the Reports Builder at design time).

Usage Notes

This keyword is ignored if DESTYPE is not PRINTER.

If COPIES is left blank on the Runtime Parameter Form, then it defaults to one.

A.4.17 CUSTOMIZE

Table A-17 indicates which commands can use the CUSTOMIZE keyword.

Table A-17 Commands that can use CUSTOMIZE

rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver

yes

yes

no

yes

yes

Syntax

CUSTOMIZE= filename.xml | ( filename1.xml, filename2.xml, ...)

Values

A file name or list of file names that contain a valid XML report definition, with path information prefixed to the file name or file names if necessary. (Affixing paths becomes necessary if the files are not located in a path specified in the REPORTS_PATH registry or SourceDir property for the engine element).

Note:
For more information on customizing reports at runtime with XML customization files, see Chapter 10, "Customizing Reports with XML".

Default

None

Usage Notes

CUSTOMIZE can also be used with jobs run as JSPs.

Syntax DELIMITED_HDR={YES|NO} Values YES means to turn off all boilerplate text in the delimited output file. NO means to leave boilerplate text as is in the delimited output file. Default YES Usage Notes This keyword can be used only if you have specified DESFORMAT =DELIMITED . A.4.21 DELIMITER Table A-21 indicates which commands can use the DELIMITER keyword. Table A-21 Commands that can use DELIMITER rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver yes yes no no yes yes no Description Use DELIMITER to specify the character or characters to use to separate the cells in your report output. Syntax DELIMITER= value Values Any alphanumeric character or string of alphanumeric characters, such as: , means a comma separates each cell . means a period separates each cell You can also use these reserved values: tab means a tab separates each cell space means a space separates each cell return means a new line separates each cell none means no delimiter is used You can also use escape sequences based on the ASCII character set, such as: \t means a tab separates each cell \n means a new line separates each cell Default Tab Usage Notes This keyword can be used only if you have specified DESFORMAT =DELIMITED . A.4.22 DESFORMAT Table A-22 indicates which commands can use the DESFORMAT keyword. Table A-22 Commands that can use DESFORMAT rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver yes yes no no yes yes no Description Specifies the format for the job output. In bit-mapped environments, use DESFORMAT to specify the printer driver to be used when DESTYPE is FILE. In character-mode environments, use it to specify the characteristics of the printer named in DESNAME. Syntax DESFORMAT= desformat Values Any valid destination format not to exceed 1 kilobyte in length. Examples of valid values for this keyword are listed and described in Table A-23. Table A-23 Valid values for DESFORMAT Value Description CHARACTER When the MODE is CHARACTER, the DESFORMAT specifies a printer definition, such as hpl, hplwide, dec, decwide, decland, dec180, dflt, or wide. DELIMITED This report output is sent to a file that can be read by standard spreadsheet utilities, such as Microsoft Excel. If you do not choose a delimiter, then the default delimiter is a TAB.

PDF This report output is sent to a file that is in PDF format and can be read by a PDF viewer, such as Adobe Acrobat. POSTSCRIPT This report output is sent to a file that is in Postscript format. RTF Rich Text Format. This report output is sent to a file that can be read by word processors (such as Microsoft Word). When you open the file in MS Word, you must choose View > Page Layout to view all the graphics and objects in your report. XML This report output is saved as an XML file. This report can be opened and read in an XML-supporting browser, or your choice of XML viewing application. Default Taken from the Initial Value property of the DESFORMAT parameter (the Initial Value was defined in the Reports Builder at design time). When you run a report via the Reports Builder and DESFORMAT is blank or dflt, then the current printer driver (specified in File > Choose Printer) is used. If nothing has been selected in Choose Printer, then Postscript is used by default. Usage Notes The value or values for this keyword might be case sensitive, depending on your operating system. A.4.23 DESNAME Table A-24 indicates which commands can use the DESNAME keyword. Table A-24 Commands that can use DESNAME rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver yes yes no no yes yes no Description Use DESNAME to specify the name of the cache, file, printer, Oracle9iAS Portal, or e-mail ID (or distribution list) to which the report output will be sent. To send the report output by e-mail, specify the e-mail ID as you do in your e-mail application (any SMTP-compliant application). You can specify multiple user names by separating them with commas, and without spaces. For example: name,name,name Syntax DESNAME= desname Values Any valid cache destination, file name, printer name, e-mail ID, or OraclePortal, not to exceed 1K in length. For printer names, you can optionally specify a port. For example: DESNAME=printer,LPT1: DESNAME=printer,FILE: Default Taken from the Initial Value property of the DESNAME parameter (the Initial Value was defined in the Reports Builder at design time). If DESTYPE=FILE and DESNAME is an empty string, then it defaults to reportname.lis at runtime. Usage Notes The argument(s) for this keyword might be case sensitive, depending on your operating system. A.4.24 DEST Table A-25 indicates which commands can use the DEST keyword. Table A-25 Commands that can use DEST rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver no no no yes no no no Description Use DEST to specify the name(s) of the converted reports or libraries. Syntax DEST={ dname|( dname1, dname2, ...)| pathname} Values Any valid report/library name or filename, or a list of valid report/library names of filenames enclosed in parentheses and separated by commas (e.g., (qanda, text, dmast)). Default If the DEST keyword is not specified, rwconverter uses the following default names: If DTYPE is PLDFILE, then the DEST default name is source.pld. If DTYPE is PLLFILE, then the DEST default name is source.pll. If DTYPE is RDFFILE, then the DEST default name is source.rdf. If DTYPE is REPFILE, then the DEST default name is source.rep. If DTYPE is REXFILE, then the DEST default name is source.rex. If DTYPE is XMLFILE, then the DEST default name is source.xml. If DTYPE is REGISTER, then the DEST default name is the name of the SQL*Plus script output file (e.g., output.sql). Usage Notes A list of report/library names of filenames must be enclosed in parentheses with commas separating each entry. For example: (qanda,test,dmast) or (qanda, test, dmast) If you have more destination names than there are source names, the extra destination names are ignored. If you have fewer destination names than there are source names, default names will be used after the destination names run out. The value(s) for the DEST keyword may be operating system-specific. When DTYPE=REGISTER, multiple destinations are not required. If you list more than one SQL*Plus script file name for DEST, only the first one is recognized. The others are ignored. A.4.25 DESTINATION Table A-26 indicates which commands can use the DESTINATION keyword. Table A-26 Commands that can use DESTINATION rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver yes yes no no yes yes no Description Use the DESTINATION keyword to specify the name of an XML file that defines the distribution for the current run of the report. Syntax DESTINATION= filename.xml Values The name of an XML file that defines a report or report section distribution. Default None Usage Notes To enable the DESTINATION keyword, you must specify DISTRIBUTE =YES on the command line. If both these keywords are specified, DESTYPE , DESNAME , and DESFORMAT are ignored if they are also specified. Note: For more information about creating advanced distributions, see Chapter 9, "Creating Advanced Distributions". A.4.26 DESTYPE Table A-27 indicates which commands can use the DESTYPE keyword. Table A-27 Commands that can use DESTYPE rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver yes yes no no yes yes no Description Use DESTYPE to specify the type of device that will receive the report output. If you have created your own pluggable destination via the Reports Destination API, this is how the destination you created gets called. Syntax DESTYPE={cache|localFile|file|printer|sysout|mail|oraclePortal| name_of_pluggable_destination} Values Table A-28 lists and describes the valid values for the DESTYPE keyword. Table A-28 Valid values for the DESTYPE keyword Value Description cache Sends the output directly to Oracle9iAS Reports cache. localFile Valid only for rwclient, rwcgi, and rwservlet. Sends the output to a file on the client machine, synchronously or asynchronously. file Sends the output to the file on the server named in DESNAME. printer Sends the output to the printer on the server named in DESNAME. You must have a printer that the Oracle9iAS Reports Server can recognize installed and running. mail Sends the output to the mail users specified in DESNAME. You can send mail to any mail system that works with SMTP. OraclePortal Sends the output to Oracle Portal. Relevant keywords include CONTENTAREA, EXPIREDAYS, ITEMTITLE, OUTPUTFOLDER, OUTPUTPAGE, PAGEGROUP, REPLACEITEM, SCHEDULE, SITENAME, STATUSFOLDER, STATUSPAGE. sysout Valid only for rwcgi. Sends the output to the client machine's default output device and forces a synchronous call. name_of_pluggable_destination If you have created your own pluggable destination via the Reports Destination API, this is what you use to call the destination you created. Default Taken from the Initial Value property of the DESTYPE parameter (the Initial Value was defined in the Reports Builder at design time). A.4.27 DISTRIBUTE Table A-29 indicates which commands can use the DISTRIBUTE keyword. Table A-29 Commands that can use DISTRIBUTE rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver yes yes no no yes yes no Description Use DISTRIBUTE to enable or disable distributing the report output to multiple destinations, as specified by the distribution list defined in the report distribution definition (defined in the Reports Builder at design time) or a distribution XML file. Syntax DISTRIBUTE={YES|NO} Values YES means to distribute the report to the distribution list. NO means to ignore the distribution list and output the report as specified by the DESNAME , DESTYPE , and DESFORMAT parameters. NO is fundamentally a debug mode to allow running a report set up for distribution without actually executing the distribution. Default NO Usage Notes The DISTRIBUTE keyword works in close association with the DESTINATION keyword. DISTRIBUTE must have a value of YES for the DESTINATION keyword to take effect. If both these keywords are specified, DESTYPE , DESNAME , and DESFORMAT are ignored if they are also specified. Note: For more information about creating advanced distributions, see Chapter 9, "Creating Advanced Distributions". A.4.28 DTYPE Table A-30 indicates which commands can use the DTYPE keyword. Table A-30 Commands that can use DTYPE rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver no no no yes no no no Description Use DTYPE to specify the format to which to convert the reports or libraries. Syntax DTYPE={PLDFILE|PLLFILE|RDFFILE|REPFILE|TDFFILE|XMLFILE|JSPFILE |REGISTER} Values The following values apply: PLDFILE means the converted PL/SQL libraries will be stored in files in ASCII format. PLLFILE means the converted PL/SQL libraries will be stored in files containing source code and P-code (compiled PL/SQL). RDFFILE means the converted report(s) will be stored in one or more report definition files (files with the .rdf extension). REPFILE means the converted report(s) will be stored in one or more binary runfiles (files with the .rep extension). REXFILE means the converted report(s) will be stored in one or more text files (files with the .rex extension). TDFFILE means the report will be converted to a template file (files with the .tdf extension). XMLFILE means the converted report(s) will be stored in an XML file (files with the .xml extension). JSPFILE means the converted report(s) will be stored in a JSP file (files with the .jsp extension). REGISTER means that a script file is created to load each report specified by SOURCE into Oracle9iAS Portal with the RWWWVREG.REGISTER_REPORT function. Each load function is populated with the necessary information to register the report in Oracle9iAS Portal. By running the resulting script file in SQL*Plus against the Oracle9iAS Portal schema, you can batch register multiple reports in Oracle9iAS Portal. Default REPFILE Usage Notes When you try to create a .rep file using rwconverter, the source report's PL/SQL is automatically compiled. If there are compile errors, an error message is displayed and the .rep file is not created. To avoid this problem, make sure you compile the source report's PL/SQL using FileCompile, in the Reports Builder, before you try to create a .rep file. When converting a report to a template, only objects in the report's header and trailer sections and the margin area are used in the template. Objects in the main section are ignored. A.4.29 DUNIT Table A-31 indicates which commands can use the DUNIT keyword. Table A-31 Commands that can use DUNIT rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver no no no yes no no no Description Use DUNIT to specify the destination unit of measurement to which the report should be converted. If specified, DUNIT must differ from the SOURCE report's unit of measurement. If unspecified, the SOURCE report's unit of measurement is used. Syntax DUNIT={CENTIMETER|CHARACTER|INCH|POINT} Values C ENTIMETER means the converted reports will initially use centimeters as the unit of measurement CHARACTER means the converted reports will initially use characters as the unit of measurement. INCH means the converted reports will initially use inches as the unit of measurement. POINT means the converted reports will initially use points as the unit of measurement Default Null A.4.30 EXPIRATION Table A-32 indicates which command can use the EXPIRATION keyword. Table A-32 Commands that can use EXPIRATION rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver yes no no no yes yes no Description Use EXPIRATION to define how long report output can exist in cache before it is deleted. See Section 8.8, "Reusing Report Output from Cache" (in Chapter 8) for more information on duplicate job detection. Syntax EXPIRATION= time_string Default None Values The time string can be in one of two formats: n { unit }, for a number with an optional unit. The unit can be minute(s), hour(s), or day(s). The default unit is minute(s) if no unit is specified. { Mon DD , YYYY } hh : mi : ss am|pm { timezone }, for a date/time format. Date information is optional. If it isn't specified, today is assumed. Time zone is also optional. If it isn't specified, the Reports Server's timezone is used. The date/time is always in a US locale. This format is the same as defined in the Java DateFormat.MEDIUM type. A.4.31 EXPIREDAYS Table A-33 indicates which commands can use the EXPIREDAYS keyword. Table A-33 Commands that can use EXPIREDAYS rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver no no no no yes yes no Description Use EXPIREDAYS to specify the number of days after which the reports output pushed to Oracle Portal should be expired.

UNIX systems use only the settings 0, -1, and -2. See the Express Connection Editor Help system for information on these settings. st Server Type :1: Express Server ct Connection Type 0: Express connection sv Server Version 1: Express 6.2 or greater Default None Usage Notes You can have spaces in the string if necessary (for example, if the user ID is John Smith) because the entire string is enclosed in quotes. If a forward slash (/) is required in the string, then you must use another forward slash as an escape character. For example, if the domain were tools or reports, then the command line should be as follows: EXPRESS_SERVER="server=ncacn_ip_tcp:olap2-pc/sl=0/ st=1/ct=0/sv=1/domain=tools//reports" You can use single quotes within the string. They are not treated specially because the entire string is enclosed in double quotes. A.4.33 FORMSIZE Table A-36 indicates which commands can use the FORMSIZE keyword. Table A-36 Commands that can use FORMSIZE rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver no no no yes no no no Description Use FORMSIZE to specify the size of the Runtime Parameter Form for the converted report in terms of the destination unit of measurement ( DUNIT).

Table A-53 Commands that can use NUMBERFORMATMASK rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver yes yes no no yes yes no Description Use NUMBERFORMATMASK to specify how number values display in your delimited report output. Syntax NUMBERFORMATMASK= mask Values Any valid number format mask. Default None Usage Notes This keyword can only be used if you have specified DESFORMAT=DELIMITED. Note: For valid NUMBERFORMATMASK values see the Reports Builder online help topic, "Number Format Mask Syntax." NUMBERFORMATMASK can also be used with jobs run as JSPs. A.4.51 ONFAILURE Table A-54 indicates which commands can use the ONFAILURE keyword. Table A-54 Commands that can use ONFAILURE rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver yes yes yes no yes yes no Description Use ONFAILURE to specify whether you want a COMMIT or ROLLBACK performed if an error occurs and a report fails to complete. Syntax ONFAILURE={COMMIT|ROLLBACK|NOACTION} Values COMMIT means perform a COMMIT if a report fails. ROLLBACK means perform a ROLLBACK if a report fails. NOACTION means do nothing if a report fails. Default ROLLBACK, if a USERID is provided. NOACTION, if called from an external source (for example, Oracle9iDS Forms Services) with no USERID provided. Usage Notes The COMMIT or ROLLBACK for ONFAILURE is performed after the report fails. Other COMMITs and ROLLBACKs can occur prior to this one. For more information, see the READONLY command. ONFAILURE can also be used with jobs run as JSPs. A.4.52 ONSUCCESS Table A-55 indicates which commands can use the ONSUCCESS keyword. Table A-55 Commands that can use ONSUCCESS rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver yes yes yes no yes yes no Description Use ONSUCCESS to specify that either a COMMIT or ROLLBACK should be performed when a report is finished running. Syntax ONSUCCESS={COMMIT|ROLLBACK|NOACTION} Values COMMIT means perform a COMMIT when a report is done. ROLLBACK means perform a ROLLBACK when a report is done. NOACTION means do nothing when a report is done. Default COMMIT, if a USERID is provided. NOACTION, if called from an external source (for example, Oracle9iDS Forms Services) with no USERID provided.

For more information, see the READONLY command. ONSUCCESS can also be used with jobs run as JSPs. A.4.53 ORIENTATION Table A-56 indicates which commands can use the ORIENTATION keyword. Table A-56 Commands that can use ORIENTATION rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver yes yes no no yes yes no Description ORIENTATION controls the direction in which the pages of the report will print. Syntax ORIENTATION={DEFAULT|LANDSCAPE|PORTRAIT} Values DEFAULT means use the current printer setting for orientation. LANDSCAPE means landscape orientation (long side at top and bottom). PORTRAIT means portrait orientation (short side at top and bottom). Default DEFAULT Usage Notes If ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE for a character mode report, then you must ensure that your printer definition file contains a landscape clause. Not supported when output to a PCL printer on Motif. A.4.54 OUTPUTFOLDER Table A-57 indicates which commands can use the OUTPUTFOLDER keyword. Table A-57 Commands that can use OUTPUTFOLDER rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver yes yes no no yes yes no Description Use OUTPUTFOLDER to specify the name of the Oracle Portal folder to push Reports output into. This keyword is maintained for backward compatibility with earlier versions of Oracle Portal (WebDB 2.2 and Oracle Portal 3.0.9). For Oracle9iAS Portal version 2.0, use OUTPUTPAGE. Syntax OUTPUTFOLDER=Oracle_Reports_Output Values Any valid folder name used in Oracle9iAS Portal. Default Oracle_Reports_Output Usage Notes The value for this keyword is case sensitive. Use of this keyword is required to push Reports output to Oracle Portal. Put quotation marks around the value if the value has any character spaces in it or you are specifying the argument in the cgicmd.dat file. Relevant keywords include CONTENTAREA, EXPIREDAYS, ITEMTITLE, OUTPUTFOLDER, OUTPUTPAGE, PAGEGROUP, REPLACEITEM, SCHEDULE, SITENAME, STATUSFOLDER, STATUSPAGE. Oracle Portal objects, such as pages, page groups, and the like, have two names: a display name and an internal name. When you create objects within Oracle Portal that you will use with Oracle Reports output, keep the internal name and the display name the same, following the rules for internal naming specified in the Oracle Portal online help. This way, when you provide a value for a Portal-related keyword in a Reports command line, you will not run into problems with which name to specify. A.4.55 OUTPUTPAGE Table A-58 indicates which commands can use the OUTPUTPAGE keyword. Table A-58 Commands that can use OUTPUTPAGE rwclient rwrun rwbuilder rwconverter rwservlet rwcgi rwserver yes yes no no yes yes no Description Use OUTPUTPAGE to specify the name of the Oracle Portal page to push Reports output information into. (For backward compatibility with versions of Oracle Portal earlier than Oracle9iAS Portal version 2.0, see OUTPUTFOLDER.) Syntax OUTPUTPAGE=Oracle_Reports_Output Values Any valid page name used in Oracle Portal. Default Oracle_Reports_Output Usage Notes The value for this keyword is case sensitive. Use of this keyword is optional for pushing Reports output to Oracle Portal. If an output page is not specified, Oracle9iAS Portal will create a default page named Oracle Reports Output.
