Setup apache fop for oracle apex - report

Does anybody have steps to set up Apache fop to use with oracle apex for report Printing purposes?
or anyone have another solution for Generating pdf and excel as per personalized format with oracle apex please suggest(Except Apex Office Print (AOP)).
Thanks

Since version 20.2 APEX includes native PDF and Excel export. If you want to have pixel-perfect reporting and you don't want to use AOP you can also have a look at Dietmar Aust's Jasper Report APEX Integration which should fulfill your requirement.
Apache FOP isn't supported anymore by ORDS/APEX.

Can BIRT tool be an alternative for BI Publisher to generate reports?

I am using Oracle BI Publisher to generate reports with my java webservice call. My input source is XML files and design template is RTF. when i have huge volume of data in XML file, its throwing an out of memory at some point of time.
So, planning to have some alternative for BI publisher.
Is BIRT can fulfill my requirement?
If not, any other alternatives reporting tools to suit my requirement?
The problem seems a bit obvious and is that your XML have more info than your system can process (XML processing can be very memory intense), probably using a reporting engine that makes queries directly to your database will help you to alleviate this problem, but i recommend you to do exhaustive testing before switching.
In any question like this there are a lot of variables. The easiest way to answer the question about BIRT is download the software at http://www.eclipse.org/birt/phoenix/ and give it a try.

Export Data to PDF in ASP.NET Application

In My ASP.NET Website, I am taking data inputs and storing it in Database. Now, I need to put a functionality where I can get the stored data in Export to PDF facility where i can save the pdf, having the data in specific format. Can anyone guide in this regard ?
you will need to use a 3rd party framework to do this. Most reporting tools have an option to export a report to PDF. I believe SSRS has this option, I know Crystal Reports has this functionality. I'm sure other reporting tools have this feature too.
There are also tools for directly generating PDFs instead of going through a report. A quick google search of .net pdf generator will be a good starting point. There is also iText which is an open source project for generating PDFs from xml. There is not much documentation on iText sharp and it's not actively developed from my understanding so expect a huge learning curve with this library.
unless the reporting features built into the .net framework (reporting services) can generate a PDF that meets your needs expect to purchase a 3rd party tool to help you create the PDF.

Talend / Alfresco 4.0 connector?

As far as I can tell, this project http://knowledge.openwide.fr/Main/AlfrescoETLConnector
only supports Alfresco 3.3 and under. Are there any Talend connectors for Alfresco 4.0? We have so much development work in 4.0 that we don't even want to think of rolling back to 3.3, and would like to use an ETL like Talend to load batches of files into Alfresco.
Are there other ETL tools we should consider that have Alfresco 4.0 connectors? Can we use any Talend / CMIS compliant connector? Suggestions on products to look at? Thanks.
This is Ronny from XeniT.
If you want to load documents and meta-data, you might consider
http://www.xenit.eu/move2alf/
You can integrate this with Talend, but it allows easy and fast migration of content into Alfresco.
On the Talend Exchange you can find various extensions e.g. custom components, which you can install in your TOS.
The exchange provides a CMIS input component that is able to access CMIS-compliant content repositories (like Alfresco) via CMIS SQL.
I also worked on an output component (tCmisOutput), which can create/update content. But this component has not been published yet. Since you are looking for way to load files into Alfresco, I will publish it in the next days on Talend Exchange or send the source code if you contact me via email.
I've recently published new Advanced CMIS components for Talend (in alpha version).
You can download it on Talend Exchange
Source code and documentation are available on Github
cmistalendetlalfresconuxeo
The latest version of the Talend CMIS component developed by Ekito is on GitHub
https://github.com/Ekito/talend-cmis-components
However it will not work with Talend version 6 right out of the box. I've created a blog post describing the fix you need to apply to the component here:
http://www.datalytyx.com/fixing-the-cmis-component-issue-in-talend-6-gated/
Since last year, the Alfresco ETL Connector for Talend has been updated to support Alfresco 4.1, as said in the README :

Quickbooks SQL dump Code from QODBC

I need to extract Quickbooks SQL structure to make a Diagram about the tables that I need to work with. Could this be possible ?
I think QODC could solve my connection issue but I don't know how to extract SQL dump from it.
Thanks in advance
You can't directly access the QuickBooks SQL structure, so you're out of luck. Most versions of QuickBooks are not even based on an SQL backend (only Enterprise edition is), so it's not even applicable to those versions.
QuickBooks provides an XML-based API to adding/modifying/querying/deleting data within it, but does not provide direct SQL access. QODBC is a wrapper around the XML-based API which simply transforms XML requests into SQL requests, and vice versa. It is not reverse-engineering anything, it's simply transforming data from one format/protocol, into another.
You choices are to either use the XML API as is, use QODBC, or use the XML API and do something similar to what QODBC is doing by transforming the XML into an SQL-friendly format. I've done something similar with my PHP code, schema and code linked below:
MySQL Schema
QuickBooks PHP Framework
You can install QODBC, then setup a linked table in Sql Server Mgmt Studio.
From there, you can more or less query the tables out of QuickBooks into tables in a SQL Svr database.
With QuickBooks Enterprise 2011 this changed, and you can have real ODBC access (although with limited rights and to a limited amount of tables) and then use an SQL tool to map via the ODBC access.
QODBC publishes data layouts for all of the tables it exposes here. The format is really nice if you want to correlate a field on the QuickBooks screen to a table, which is usually what you need in a QuickBooks integration design process.
