 - Obviously, the feasibility of either option is dependent

Of course. We realize that.

Can we use cfthread to speed up multi-query report processes?

2013-05-21 Thread george.e...@ssa.gov george.e...@ssa.gov

Hello!

We have processes that assemble reports from as many as 6 individual queries. 
Currently the queries run sequentially so the related report cannot be 
assembled and displayed until after all queries have completed. Users often 
have to wait several minutes for their report. They are not happy about that.

We are considering trying cfthread to run queries concurrently and then 
assemble and display the related report after the longest running query 
completes.

Is this a viable use for cfthread or is it meant to be used for unrelated 
processes?

Is anyone using cfthread as described above? Have you seen noticeable 
improvement in performance? Is the cost in complexity of the code worth the 
improvement in performance?

We're using CF9\10 Enterprise on Unix and Windows.

Thanks!

George

Yes, that sort of parallel processing is a common use case for
CFTHREAD, and it will improve performance for that user's request. Of
course, it typically also means you can't process as many user
requests simultaneously - it's not magic - but if that's not a problem
then you should be all set.

Alternatively, you could use a single CFTHREAD that does all the work,
and the user could do something else instead of waiting for the report
at all - for example, the CFTHREAD could generate an email with a link
to the report.

Re: Can we use cfthread to speed up multi-query report processes?

2013-05-21 Thread Alan Rother

Also, keep in mind - and I'm speculating a bit here on your process - if
you have just 6 individual queries that run in a single threaded, linear
fashion and they take 6 minutes to execute, running them all concurrently
may take just as long as it's sounds like your DB server may be taxed or
these are really heavy queries.

Again, speculating here - it could be that you might benefit from some
other options:

1. Maybe some DB tuning or having a DBA look at the SQL being executed to
speed them up.
2. Maybe this isn't meant to be an on-demand process - as Dave rightly
suggested, you could either batch them in the back ground - on-demand or
you schedule them outright and have them delivered when ready and only run
them once a __
 - Obviously, the feasibility of either option is dependent on the process
and use cases themselves.

Yes Russ thats correct but my issue is running the multiple query and appending 
the pdfs

I have an array of order numbers and I have to loop through each number and to 
run the report that creates the pdf when the pdf is created append it to the 
existing one if it exists and if not create it until all the number have been 
queried.

Its the looping and appending that is the cause of my problem - Do you know how 
i can do this?

This isn't really specific to PDFs. You use CFOUTPUT and/or CFLOOP
just like you would if you were going to output HTML. You can use
CFDOCUMENTSECTION and CFDOCUMENTITEM to divide the dockets, handle

Coldfusion Report with multiple queries

2012-11-12 Thread Anthony Doherty

I am trying to create a delivery report system for a delivery run.

The user currently has to run the report for each order number and print out 
the delivery docket.

This system is fine for one or two dockets but when a particular run is 
required there could be 20/30 dockets.

So i was proposing for the user to enter the order numbers store them in an 
array and then run the report for each order number and print out the docket.

The problem im having is running the report and printing the docket for each 
order number automatically as im not sure how this would work - So any help 
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Re: Load Testing - what to look for and monitor/report

2012-02-12 Thread Dave Watts

 We're doing performance analysis and looking for bottlenecks ...

In that case, you want to test a single server only, at least to
start. You'll need to define user paths that are most likely to be
followed by users within the application, and define timers for each
step of the user path (where a step is a single user action that
triggers any server-side response). Then, you'll run a typical
performance analysis test (no pauses between requests) for a single
user, then scale up by some increment (say, 5 users) until the
application becomes unresponsive. The data you collect during this
process will primarily be response time data (for each timer). You can
then drop that data into a spreadsheet and chart the timer steps that
increase more than others, and those are your bottlenecks. If those
steps are themselves pretty complex, you can add CFTIMER tags within
your page to find out which part of the page is the slower part, as
well.

 ...  and also memory leaks since we have a lot of application scoped 
 components and large numbers
 of objects created per request. That's one of my main concerns actually..

Well, that might require a different test, or at least might affect
the point at which the application becomes unresponsive as described
above. Proper performance analysis testing can really only happen once
you've removed functionality and operation bugs from your application,
and memory leaks would fall into that category. That said, it's
unlikely you'll run into true memory leaks with CF components - you
just might run out of memory, though.

Re: Load Testing - what to look for and monitor/report

2012-02-11 Thread Dave Watts

 Anyhow, what I really want to know from you experts is what should I be
 watching and recording during these load tests?

Generally, you're interested in response time and throughput.

 Also should I pair down from a load balanced solution to a single server to
 make it easier to debug log files and track memory etc?

 And then scale up after a specific duration? Or for the second test
 interval?

 I don't have much experience with load testing and just want to make sure
 that this is money well spend in terms of having some actionable data.

It's hard to answer this without more information. What is the goal of
the load test? What kind of actionable data are you looking for?

You can use load tests to answer a couple of different questions.
There are two basic types of load test: performance analysis, and
capacity planning. In a performance analysis test, you're looking for
bottlenecks in your application with the goal of improving application
performance. In a capacity planning test, you're trying to identify
how many users your application can support as it's currently written.
Which one of these are you doing?

virtualized running on vmware on Dell 610s (in case any one cared..)..

 

Anyhow, what I really want to know from you experts is what should I be

cfreport swallowing lines on multiple pages created with report builder

2012-01-28 Thread Javier Arroyo

I have a report built with report builder and it appears that if you set the 
body to stretch with overflow that cfreport will swallow a line or two 
every time it paginates see attached for a simplified version of the report, I 
have removed all but the body on this (actual report has a watermark, report 
header, page header and page footer ...the problem is pretty apparnt with this 
scaled down version as you can see it's missing text from one page to the next 
..any ideas/suggestions/known bug??  You can see a sample of the issue here:

Coldfusion report builder problem

2011-06-29 Thread Joshua O'Connor-Rose

I'm doing something that should be simple but is giving me hell.

I'm getting this error

Invalid ColdFusion expression in report.
If the expression is a string, ensure that it is within quotes
With this:
Error: query.firstname query.lastname  Chr(13)  Chr(10) 
query.Address1  IIf(len(query.Address2), query.Address2  Chr(13) 
Chr(10), DE())  query.city  ,   query.state query.zip
is not a valid ColdFusion expression.

Yet when I change it to this (or something equally silly for testing):
query.firstname query.lastname  Chr(13)  Chr(10) 
query.Address1  
IIf(len(query.Address2), DE(query.Address2), DE()) 
query.city  ,   query.state query.zip

It does what I'm asking

Any ideas

thanks in advance (I would use help but that's not working in Windows 7)

-Joshua

nm . . . again apparently DE(##query.Address2##  Chr(13)  Chr(10))
as much as I loathe it.

Did the trick

Would it be better to put together the CFREport tag by hand? (Though I
must admit despite getting hung up on the evaluation it was overall
very quick)

Report Builder on CF9 with CSS questions

2011-03-31 Thread Wally Randall

1.  I am unable to get the CSS export link to produce an output file.  Has 
anyone been able to get this function working?

2.  Does the CSS style override function actually work?  I am trying to 
override the margins on a text field but this CSS function is not changing 
anything.

3.  The importing of Image files in the report does not work.  An image object 
will not render in the report unless I copy the image and DROP it on the report 
layout in CF Report builder.  The image is therefore embedded in the CFR file.

Problem with Report Builder - Element bottom

After modifying the query in a label page in CF Report Builder I get this 
message:

Report design not valid : 1. Warning : Element bottom reaches outside band 
area : y=2 height=72 band-height=72

This label format worked correctly but now all attempts to alter the label

Re: Report Builder

2010-11-04 Thread Scott Spurlock

The users aren't going to be too technically proficient.  Just your average 
group of users.  I think Report Builder is going to make their heads explode.

I was hoping for something user-friendly that would allow them to customize 
what data appears in a report and where (allow them to change the layout 
somewhat).  Should I simply be thinking of making my own AJAXy kind of 
front-end?

Thanks,

Re: Report Builder

2010-11-04 Thread Rob Parkhill

Depending on how much you like Report Builder, you can always come up with a
main template (header footer, etc) then a series (different data positions)
of sub-reports (just the details really) and allow the users to select which
'layout' they want to use, and what data goes where.  Then it is just a
matter of having the data in the correct spot when calling the CFR.  I have
worked this into a few sites for 'custom' Reporting.

Cheers,

Rob

Re: Report Builder

2010-11-04 Thread Maureen

I usually set up views with the data the users are allowed to see, and
set either Report Builder or Microsoft Access to use only those views.
 With the limited subset of data,  and the elimination of the need to
build lookups most users can figure out how to do reports.

Re: report builder similar to ms access

2010-10-07 Thread denstar

The most dynamical thing I've found so far is using JasperServer.

It doesn't quite let you create free-form reports, but it has a lot of
stuff you can use that lets the end user configure a report, and can
produce reports in like 15 different formats.

It is awesome.

Eventually I'll get around to writing an HTML-based WYSIWYG
JasperReport editor, for use with the cfjasperreport tag, which *will*
be a free-form type of deal.  The XML used for JasperReports is pretty
easy to write, if you need free-form, you could whip up an editor and
use the cfjasperreport custom tag.

Another solution is to leverage iReport for the actual report design,
with the JasperServer plugin.

iReport is awesomeness too.

Re: report builder similar to ms access

2010-10-07 Thread Gerald Guido

Probably not ideal but throwing it out there as an option..

One way to do it is to actually use MS Access. If you can create an ODBC
data source pointing to a read only account on the database you can do an
import and link the tables to the database. You can set the permissions on
the database to let the user only see the tables they need to see and create
a sample report for them to use as a template. I actually used this sort of
set up using MySQL so a company could get a daily report and running of
orders placed in real time for accounting and inventory purposes.

2010-09-22 Thread Andrew Scott

I disagree that ? means garbage data, and I say this because I spend a good
2 months trying to solve this problem. And the thing is that the reports
that I tried to use them on, as Paul K as mentioned will work in both HTML
mode, as well as Flash Paper mode with no issues. But as soon as you need to
generate a PDF with the same data it won't work.

This is exactly why Adobe has identified this as a bug.

CFEXECUTE output Access Report

2010-05-06 Thread Stephen Hoskins

Im stuck here, and after all my years as a programmer, never have I been faced 
with this and on a shirt deadline.  

There is a pretty complex MS Access report that takes in an ID and outputs a 
report, how the heck can I get this to run online???  

Im poking through cfexecute but no luck yet.

CF Report Builder

2010-04-14 Thread Rick Eidson

Anyone here any good at report builder?

 

 

I have a sub-report that needs to run a DISTINCT Query and loop over its
output and run another query to get more info from the DISTINCT values from
the first. Easy to do on CFM page and in many different ways. But I can't
seem to get it to work in Report Builder.

 

Under ReportQuery's Advanced area I have the following.

 

The BillReview ID is passed in the URL String..

 

cfquery name=QryGet datasource=#App_DataSource#

SELECT DISTINCT tblBillItems.ReasonCode

FROM   tblBillItems

WHERE  tblBillItems.BillHeaderID = '#BillReviewID#'

/cfquery

 

cfset Output = 

cfloop query=QryGet

 

 

cfquery name=QryGetDesc datasource=#App_DataSource#

SELECT BillItemReasonDescription

FROM  tblBillItemReasons

WHERE BillItemReasonCode = '#ReasonCode#'


/cfquery

 

 

cfset OutPut = #OutPut#br

#ReasonCode# #QryGetDesc.BillItemReasonDescription#

   

 

/cfloop

 

 

 

Any ideas? I have looked all through many sites and see know help on
advanced abilities of Report Builder.

 

Rick

Re: Query/Report Builder

2010-01-04 Thread Qing Xia

We have both Crystal Reports and SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services at work.
 While they are not super customized, they do serve the purpose of allowing
users to run some rudimentary reports.

However, neither is ColdFusion-based, and it sounds like that is what you
are looking for.

 There may or may not be something built in CF out there, but if you

 install Query Analyzer and give them a log in with only select

 It must have been done before, so I really dont want to re-invent the

Re: ColdFusion Report Builder and Excel Output

2009-07-15 Thread David

Yeah, Report Builder tries to match the positioning exactly, even if
it means putting in extra rows/columns in Excel. All the elements in
the report would need to be aligned perfectly, and you'll still
probably get extra.

Alternatives we've used are CSV files, or else the HTML or XML used in
excel 2003/2007, then deliver with an Excel extension

Thanks for the reply.  I am seeing Acrobat pulling the text as Helvetica

And I have downloaded the MultiLanguage Support version of Acrobat Reader.  UGH

Any other thoughts?

Re: Report Builder - Other Language Capability

2009-06-19 Thread Mike Chabot

Do you have Acrobat? Highlight the text in Acrobat and get text
properties to verify that the font is correct, and check the document
properties to see if the font is embedded.

Is that font installed on the ColdFusion server? You can see the
installed fonts in CF Administrator.

If you change the format property in the cfreport tag do any of the
formats display the characters?

Report Builder Excel

2009-05-19 Thread Bonni Harris

My output is an excel spreadsheet. I have a report header and detail lines. I 
keep getting a blank row (end of page?), all my headers (except the report 
header) and footers are set to 0 height.
Also, how can I format a character string to print leading zeros?
Thanks for any and all help.

CF Report Builder and Excel format

2009-04-17 Thread funand learning

Hi Everyone,



I was trying to display a report in excel format in report builder. It shows
the data, but I do not find the print button options, whereas I can see it
with other formats. Is this the way it is, or do I need to format anything
more within my report for showing up the print button option?This is only
happening for excel format

It would be great if someone can help me with this


Thanks

Delivery Report

2009-03-25 Thread Jason Congerton

Hi 

I am trying to create a delivery report for my website, the report is generated 
from the following tables

ca_customers, ca_order_summary and ca_orderitems (please see query below)

ca_customer  holds the customer information (one record)

ca_order_summary  holds the order summary information (one record)

ca_order_items  contains the order items (multiple records)


cfquery name=get_orders datasource=#application.dsn#
SELECT c.*, os.*, oi.*
FROM (ca_customers c INNER JOIN ca_order_summary os ON c.ca_cust_id = 
os.ca_ordersum_cust_id) INNER JOIN ca_order_items oi ON os.ca_ordersum_id = 
oi.ca_orderitems_sum_id
WHERE 0=0
AND os.ca_ordersum_archived = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_bit value=no
AND os.ca_ordersum_invoiced = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_bit value=yes
AND os.ca_ordersum_delivered = cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_bit value=no
cfif Isdefined('form.webID')AND c.ca_cust_web_id = cfqueryparam 
cfsqltype=cf_sql_integer value=#form.webID#/cfif
ORDER BY ca_ordersum_id DESC
/cfquery
(please note .* used for example)

I would like to produce a dynamic form which displays the orders one by one and 
also list the order items individually and have a check box next to the order 
items, 
so the user can decide which items from the order are included in a delivery 
report.


Order #1: Contains 5 items P1,P2,P3,P4,P5 The user would only like P3 to be 
included within the report.

I have handled dynamic forms before and have used the following format for my 
check boxes, and order summary id

input type=hidden name=ca_ordersum_id#currentrow# value=#ca_ordersum_id#
input type=hidden name=resCount 
value=cfoutput#get_orders.recordCount#/cfoutput
 input name=output#currentrow# type=checkbox class=boxes 
id=output#currentrow# value=yes  /


And use this type of code to create a list of id's to pass to a query, however 
this obviously just gets the ordersum id which will still include items I do 
not want. I can't be very far from what I need, just need a little help 
tweaking it.

Would I be better to build a 2d array i.e. order ID, product id if so could 
someone point me in the right direction with creating the array and accessing 
the array in the subsequent query to be produced.

cfset myList = 
cfloop index=i
from=1
to=#val(form.resCount)#

cfif StructKeyExists(Form,'ca_ordersum_id#i#')
   cfset variables.ca_ordersum_id = form['ca_ordersum_id#i#']/
cfif StructKeyExists(Form,'output#i#')
   cfset Variables.output = form['output#i#']/
   
  cfset myList = listappend(mylist, variables.ca_ordersum_id)
   

/cfif!---//end of variables output---

/cfif!---//end of variables ca_ordersum_id---

I hope this explains what I am trying to do, it does in my head anyway:-)

Kind Regards

Jason

Re: Delivery Report

2009-03-25 Thread Azadi Saryev

maybe i am not fully understanding your requirements, but...
if you give order item checkboxes names like
cb_#this_order_id#_#this_item_id#, then when your form submits it will
post only checked boxes, so you will have form fields like cb_1_1,
cb_1_2, cb_3_4, ... - you can then loop over form.fieldnames, and if
current fieldname starts with cb_, extract the order_id and item_id
from the filedname and... do whatever you need with them! (i.e. add them
to a list/array you can then use to query your db to get necessary data
for your report...)

have all the check boxes be named the same thing.

input type=checkbox name=items value=1
input type=checkbox name=items value=2
input type=checkbox name=items value=3

if all three boxes are check you will get a comma separated list  in the
form variable.

e.g. with all 3 checked you'd get form.items = '1,2,3' then you just alter
your query with an in statement

...
where item_id in (cfloop from=1 to =#listlen(items)#
index=icfqueryparam value=#listgetat(items, i)#
cfsqltype=cf_sql_integercfif i neq listlen(items),/cfif/cfloop)

hmm... the way i read the op, i thought items belongs to different orders...
if so, then naming all checkboxes items will make it impossible to
distinguish which order a particular items belongs to: is this item 1 in
order 1 or in order 1876768788?

2009-03-25 Thread Jason Congerton

Hi

Thank you for your replies, you are correct Azadi, I can not just have check 
boxes with the same name. 

I have resolved my issue in the following way,

I removed the group attribute from my initial form output which returned one 
row for each order item I added an orderitem_id#currentrow# hidden field, 
created two lists, one for orderid and one for the orderitems id, and used the 
IN operator on my query.

Which now returns the desired results!

I have one slight problem with the initial display, its a little messy. Lets 
say the customer has ordered three items, now that I have removed the 
grouping(so I can get at individual items) the customer name is returned 3 
times as well, can I use some conditions to stop this, or be able to group 
color the rows for the particular customer.

use cfoutput with GROUP attribute. details are in the cfml reference -
check it out as it is very particular syntax requiring nested cfoutput
tags:

cfoutput query=myquery group=column-name
#columns_you_do_NOT_want_repeated#
cfoutput
#columns_you_need_repeated_for_each_column-name#
/cfoutput
#maybe_other_columns_you_do_NOT_want_repeated_below_repeated_output#
/cfoutput

you can also nest multiple cfoutput tags with different GROUP
attributes, too.

Re: Delivery Report

2009-03-25 Thread Dan Baughman

The number in the item checkbox would the primary key of the item in the
items table, if you always have this of items then that is the simplest
solution, your both over complicating, not the arbitrary order they appear
on the page.

You would join to the items table based on the order number, but your where
cause would select based on the item's primary keys, not the order numbers.
thus the order number would be contained in the result query as it is now.

Your trying to have coldfusion do too much work that SQL could more simply
do.  Also ANSI style outter joins are deprecated and would be better be
avoided.

I stand by my original suggestion.

Sales Report and Output

2009-03-13 Thread Jason Congerton

Hi

I need to do some reporting on orders from a web site, the table structure is 
as follows;

wp_products {ID: wp_products_id JOINED TO wp_products ON 
ga_product_templates.wp_product_template_id=wp_products.wp_product_template_id}

ga_product_templates{ID:gp_id; JOINED TO wp_products ON 
wp_products.wp_product_template_id=gp_product_templates.gp_id}

ca_order_items{ID:ca_orderitems_id; JOINED TO wp_products ON 
ca_order_items..ca_orderitems_product_id=wp_products.wp_products_id}

cfquery name=get_orders datasource=#application.dsn#
SELECT ca_order_items.*, wp_products.*, gp_product_templates.*
FROM ca_order_items INNER JOIN (gp_product_templates INNER JOIN wp_products ON 
gp_product_templates.gp_id = wp_products.wp_product_template_id) ON 
ca_order_items.ca_orderitems_product_id = wp_products.wp_products_id
ORDER by gp_name
/cfquery

(please note using .* for testing only)

I need to display the sales information per product e.g Product One: Sold 5 
Total: £500, Product Two: Sold 2 Total £350

I was thinking of using queries of queries but how do I get the individual 
product totals, apposed to the total of all the rows, etc. Do I need to loop 
around my first query, set a variable add it together and display to screen? 

Any ideas on the best way to approach this?

Thank you

Jason

CF8 Report Builder chart issue

2009-02-17 Thread Bret Colburn

I'm new to report builder.  I created a chart using the chart wizard and the 
chart display as I intended.  The problem is, when I had the cart in the Detail 
tab the chart was repeated once for each data point.  I charted 51 data points 
so I got that chart 51 times.  I moved it to the Column Header tab and now it 
only repeats 11 times.  My first question obviously is why do I get multiple 
copies of the chart.  My second question is can anyone point me to a good 
tutorial or reference for someone new to Report Builder?

Thanks

Report Builder aggravation

2008-12-22 Thread Kirk Otto
I developed a report using CFRB, and designed it on my local host (desktop). 
It's fine when I look at it locally, and shows up on screen, and when printed 
in the Portrait orientation.  I take that same file, move it over to our 
production server, and both on screen and printed are coming out landscape.  
Any solution ideas?

Chart and CF Report Builder

2008-12-11 Thread Shirin Toosi
I have some questions regarding the ColdFusion Report builder that I’m hoping 
you can help me.  Or maybe you can point me in the direction of someone who 
might. 

The report I’m trying to build has the header area which contains summary and 
the graph contains the detail.   There can be many summaries with their 
details.   We used different approaches to build the report, but the one that 
got us closer to the results we wanted was to build the report I used 2 
queries. I’m trying to pass my variable (id) to the 2nd query to get the 
related graph. When the report is for 1 single summary/graph, I pass the id to 
my 2nd query and it works.  But when the report is for multiple summary/graph, 
only the first row selected from the 1st query will pass to the 2nd query.   
Therefore I have 1 graph with all the data retrieved for all the summaries.  It 
seams like the cfloop doesn’t do anything(??!!)  Another approach I tried 
was to put my graph in a subreport and pass the id as param.id, didn’t work 
either.

In case it helps, here is the code on my cfm page: 

cfloop query=GetRpt  
cfset request.getGraph = getGraph()
cfreport format=pdf template= payment_Detail.cfr
permissions=AllowPrinting Query=GetRpt  overwrite=yes/
cffunction name=getGraph returntype=query
   cfset var GraphQuery = ''
  cfquery name=GraphQuery datasource=#request.dsn# 
  SELECTid , to_char(invoice_dt, 'MM/DD/') as invoice_dt
  , to_char(invoice_dt, '/MM/DD') as sort_invoice_dt
  , TO_NUMBER(payment_line_amt,'') as payment_line_amt
  , INVOICE_LINE_AMT
  FROM PAYMENT_DETAIL 
  WHEREID =#GetRpt.ID#
  ORDER BY sort_invoice_dt

cfreturn GraphQuery

In the query builder of my chart series I call the request.getGraph so the 
chart can see the query. As I said when I pass one id then it’s ok but when 
more than 1 id is passed it shows the graph based on the 1st selected row of 
data for all other data retrieved by the 1st query. 

I want to be able to show the first summary followed by it’s detail graph, 
then the second summary followed by it’s detail graph, etc. 

Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you in advance

Re: Report Builder Question

2008-10-31 Thread Mike Greider
Denny,

I have started to work in JasperReports, can you shoot me an email at your 
convenience? I have some questions about the set up for CF and JR to work 
together nicely.

Email is first letter first name and full last name at gmail (stupid spam bots).

Cheers,
Mike Greider

JasperReports is built right into coldfusion.

You can create a jasperreport JRXML file using iReport, and use
createObject to run the report, etc.

I don't do it any more because report generation takes such a toll on
the server, and it's just waay better to have report stuff running
on a separate server, pulling from a replication database.  So now I
use JasperServer, and it's KICK ASS!

For anyone doing a lot of reporting, I'd recommend it.  Simply the best!

But if you're stuck with pure CF, and need to do those common
reporting things that are just impossible with reportbuilder, then
createObject and jasperrepoerts might be the way to go, because you
can build the reports with iReport, which is a STELLAR report-builder
(cross platform y todo).

HIH,
:Denny

Well the oracle database uses the charset ISO 8859-1 which works fine for all

I have tried changing the different fonts but no luck with that either. 
I have incorporated the query directly in the cfr, instead of the cfm, to see 
if there was a problem in the communication between the two but no luck either.

I have also looked at the Cp1252 and it should contain the € sign (Hex80).

All of this tells me that there is something quite weird...
I already had quite a number of problems with cfr. But this tops it all.

there's no euro char in the iso-8859-1 (latin-1) charset, it came out well 
before the existence of the euro. the euro is found in iso-8859-15 (AKA 
latin-9, 
don't ask) where it's at decimal 164 codepoint or in unicode at decimal 8364.

hex 80 *is* decimal 128. decimal 191 (hex BF) is an inverted question mark ¿ 
in 
windows-1252 (ditto for unicode).

i suggest you front-to-back review your data entry process  make sure the 
encodings are all the same for every part of your app. also make sure that the 
oracle charset is exactly the same the cf ones, especially as oracle likes to 
name it's own charsets the same as ISO/IEC ones even though they are slightly 
different.

Report builder charset?

2008-10-14 Thread bert db
Hi,

I have some report created with the report builder MX7. I am running into some 
problems with the charset it uses. Some of my users have put some exotic 
caracters in text fields (principally the '€' sign). I have no problems 
within my coldfusion pages but in the generated pdf, it prints out as a '?'. 

I was wondering if anybody knows how to specify the charset that the builder 
should use, or if anybody knows the charset used by the report builder (there 
is always a way to change the charset returned by the DB). I have looked in the 
docs but could not find anything about this.

Thanks,
B.

the cfr is called from a simple cf page where I define the query, and when in

CF8 Report Builder - Report Format Error

2008-09-16 Thread Jim Gabler
I'm trying out Report Builder for the first time to generate a report.  While I 
can output the file to the screen without any problems (by leaving out the 
filename attribute), I am getting an error when trying to save it.  If I place 
a document in the location where I've specified with the filename attribute, I 
can read it just fine from the browser...I'm just missing something here that's 
eluding me.  Any ideas?

The error:
Report format error.  
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect  

The code:
cfreport
   filename=http://dtsc-dev/temp/SBA_Temp.pdf;
   format = PDF
   template = 
c:\\inetpub\wwwroot\Database\Military_Billings\CFR_Templates\SBA.cfr
   overwrite = yes

cfreportparam name=pINVOICE_ID value=#variables.Invoice_ID#
/cfreport

Hi Jim,

the filename attribute requires an absolute system path, you might try 
expandpath().

Thanks Marcus.  Just using the absolute path did the trick (could have sworn 
that I had tried that).  What threw me off was that Dreamweaver provided only 3 
options for the filename attribute and they were ftp:, http:, and https:. 
 So I was really led astray by Dreamweaver (guess this is a case of one 
division of adobe not communicating with another!).

Hi Jim,

the filename attribute requires an absolute system path, you might try 
expandpath().

I thought CF report builder was free?

I finally get everything up and running and received the big Trail version 
message on my report.

Is this because I am running it on the development version of CF?

Yes the builder is free, but what renders the built file is not.  You 
will get that message when the .rpt file is rendered on a Development 
server, but not on licensed ones.

Yup.
Though as it sounds like you've not got the server running yet, I'd leave this

WELL, I am trying to do both.

I installed CF locally because I could not RDS in the dev server.

NEITHER work :)
