4.5 to 6i migration or report calling from forms in XE???

Hi Friends,
I really appreciate your helping tendency. Let me explain the whole scenario.
My application basically consists of
Forms [32 Bit] Version 5.0.6.8.0 (Production)
Report Builder 3.0.5.8.0
Oracle Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
Now we migrated our database into Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production. After the migration all the existing forms and report individually were running without any problem. But there was a huge problem. Whenever I tried to call any report from any form the report engine appeared and then stopped responding. So report calling from forms was not possible after the database migration. I was suggested by someone from OTN forum to migrate my forms and reports into 6i. I have started doing the migration using ifcmp60. WIth forms 6i, reports can be called from forms. But I am facing problem in every other steps. There are many things are not working after the migration though the migration log shows no error. For example, COMMIT_FORM, EXECUTE_QUERY (for detail table), LOV, TOOL.GETVAR lots of things are not working.
My application has 200 forms and 250 reports.
Please help and advise on:
How to call reports from form when the database is XE Or
How to overcome the stated migration problem
Rgds,
Luther

Dear Mark:
I have two choices. I can either migrate to 6i or I can go with the existing 4.5. If I go with 4.5 ......the reports are not being called from forms. This problem is happening after I changed the database from 9i to XE. Please advise what to do so that I can keep my forms in 4.5, database in XE and can call reports from forms.
Rgds,
Luther

  • How would I display paper report, called from forms?

    I want to call reports 9i, from forms 9i, and display the paper report on the screen. How would I do this? So far I have gotten forms to call the report and give me a status back of FINISHED, but I don't see anything displayed on my screen.

  • How to display the output of a reports called from forms in the same window

    Hi all.
    I have installed Forms / Reports 11g Rel2 developer only installation on my windows 7 box.
    I can successfully call a reports from forms using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT and WEB_SHOW.document, but the report is opened in a new window.
    I'd like to open it in the same widow, in a new tab, similar to ctrl-t and make a call.
    How is that possible?.
    I'm using Chrome 25.0. Could this be done through browser settings?.
    Thanks in advance ...!
    Edited by: myluism on 14-mar-2013 6:09

    Don't know for Chrome, so Google for it.
    One more thing, though. what is the 2nd parameter in web.show_document? Is it '_blank'? If not, try that.

  • Report Called from FORMS having Printing Problem

    Hi all
    Guys i have a report problem in reports 6i.
    I am calling a report from my FORM 6i directly to printer (a dot matrix printer).
    I have set
    Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DesType',TEXT_PARAMETER,'printer');     
    The report is actually a confirmation report and i have given its layout height equal to 3.7 . But when i send it to printer it ejects the paper equal to 11 (equal to height of a portarait report).
    How can manage this ejection from Form or Report Side.
    NOTE : This problem occurs even if print the report from report preview(means not printed directlty from FORM).
    Kindly help me with this if any.
    I need it urgent.
    Thanx.

    Hello All
    The furthur detail to my previous problem is given as follows:
    I am getting problem
    with the Oracle reports. I have a dot matrix printer (Epson LQ-300, which is a
    tractor feed printer). While printing a report which is always not more than half a
    page, the printer does not stop after printing the report(the half page). It stops at
    the end of the page. I mean that half the page is printed and the rest half is blank.
    I want that the printer should print only at half a page. On the blank half it should
    print another copy of same report.

    Hi,

  • Report call from forms and 1017

    Hi,
    we have a web application and and it's first screen is the login screen where user can change their password or when grace time comes we force the user to change their password etc. Password changes successfully, no issue and user goes inside the application. But here is the problem. When user clicks the report after chagning the password then report doesn't work, can't connect to database and audit trail shows 1017 so obviously when they click 3 times their account gets locked because in profile it's set to 3 failed attempts. When user close the application and re login again and then click the report, it works fine. I'm suspecting the new changed password doesn't pass to the report? i would really appreciate for your help, suggestions, advise. how do i make sure that the new changed password should be passed to the report?. We're running against 11g database and sec_case_sensitive_logon is set to false.
    Thanks

  • Report call from FORMS

    Hi
    Can we apply both below methods to call paper layout or web lay out
    1. WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT()
    2. RUN_REPORT_OBJECT()
    Or else web lay out reports call only from one of them?
    Rgds
    Shabar

    Hello,
    For Paper Layout , you can use both Forms Builtins :
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT()
    RUN_REPORT_OBJECT()
    For Web Layout , only WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() can be used .

  • How Do You Debug Oracle Report Calls From Forms On The App Server?

    I am working on a system which uses oracle forms and reports 10g.
    In our system we call, we are calling oracle reports from oracle forms. How do we debug the form code when the form and report both are running on the application server in production.
    To my knowledge, this can not be done when the form is running locally since there is only OC4J forms services locally.
    I understand one views error messages through the jinitiator console but how does one turn on this facility? How do you determine what line the error occurred?
    I am looking for step by step instructions as answer to this issue.
    Please be specific. Please write in good English.

    Good afternoon,
    If you have the developer suite installed on your PC, run the report from your form and then follow this tree from the start button on your PC:
    Developer Suite Home =>
    Reports Developer =>
    Oracle Application Server Report Services =>
    Reports Queue Manager
    Select View => Past Jobs and then find your report in the list, double-click the report entry and you'll see the error message that was generated by the Report Server when you tried to run the report.
    Good luck,
    Don.

  • App Server 10g2 - PDF Reports called from Forms go to a background window

    Hi all
    We have Application Server 10g2 in use, mainly for legacy forms and reports. We also have the Secure Java Web.Show_Document bean (frmrwinteg.jar) installed. Since the application of the October 2008 CPU when a form calls a PDF report, it will pop in the background and leave the Internet Explorer window with the form at the front. We have not changed any configuration settings which could affect this.
    Is there a way to go back to the old behaviour, that of having the report appear in the foreground instead of behind internet explorer? We'd appreciate any tips on this. Thanks.

    Well I am not sure if this is the original question. Here is what SebastienL mentioned originally:
    Is there a way to go back to the old behaviour, that of having the report appear in the foreground instead of behind internet explorer?He also mentioned this:
    Before, the PDF window would open in front of IE, like any new window should. Now it opens in the background and IE stays in front.And it seems to be happening not just for him but for all users (on multiple client machines) as he mentioned this:
    This occured overnight after a CPU patch to everyone who uses the system.If I am interpreting it correctly (and I don't claim to be correct in my interpretation), the issue is not about having to open PDF in the same IE window as the Forms. I am guessing SebastienL is looking to have PDF document appear in foreground (on top of Forms IE window) vs. it showing up in background (behind the Forms IE window).
    Did I get it right SebastienL?
    It does sound very much client configuration issue but I doubt (if my above assumptions are correct). Let me dig around and see if I can find something.
    Thanks

  • How to track report called from a from

    We have a Form that calls a report using the show_document command. Is there a way to track when the report is called inside the form? Thanks.

    Hi,
    you can install the Reports queuetableto list all Reports requests and its current status. The only problem you face is that using Web.Show_Document() you don't have a jobid to locate the job. So using Web.Show_Document() its hard to achieve what you are planning to do.
    If using Run_Report_Object() instead you can read the Reports status from Forms so that you know what the current status is. In addition you retrieve a jobid that allows you to query the queuetable. A Whitepaper is available at otn.oracle.com/products/forms

  • Reports are not called from form in browser plz help

    Hi,
    I have installed 9iAS+8.1.7 database on the same machine with NT4 server.My system's forms(.fmx) are running well but my reports are not running from my main form.i call reports from the
    from as,
    Run_Product(reports,'..\iReports\xglrxx12.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);
    Actually want to know the report's setting when calling from the from in a browser(environment variables,virtual paths etc.).
    My database is installed in drive E:\8idb_home\ and 9iAS is on
    G:\9iAS_home\.My systems .fmx & .rep files are in "iforms" and "ireports" folder respectively.
    Plz help!
    Many thanks!

    Hi,
    First of all thanks to Vincent Botteman for solving the prob.
    Yes when i changed my call of run_product by excluding the path i have specified when calling from form it then makes a result.
    Also specified the entry of your reports .rep files by giving path in reports60_path registery variable as,
    Run regedit-->Hkey_Local_Machine-->Software-->Oracle here give the full path of your .rep files as an first entry in reports60_path variable.And finally not mention the path when calling reports from form as,
    Run_Product(reports,'xglrxx13.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);<--- Correct way.
    Run_Product(reports,'..\iReports\xglrxx13.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);<--- Wrong way.

  • Accessing clustered report servers from Forms

    Hi
    The "Oracle Fusion Middleware Publishing Reports to the Web with Oracle Reports Services 11g R2 (11.1.2)" manual in Section 2.5 talks about setting up a High Availability environment for Reports.
    It discusses how to set the cluster configuration and how to create a reports job repository in the database. It says that you need to have a unique name for each report server, finally it says that you should use Oracle Web Cache to load balance for the reports cluster.
    If you are calling the report server from Forms with a run_report_object then you don't go via the web cache, so I am confused how you send your report request to the reports cluster in a load balanced fashion.
    Has anyone done this or can explain how this works for Forms?
    TIA
    Tony

    I know that this is an old thread, but I've taken the liberty to bump it up, as I have the same question.
    The Reports documentation describes quite succinctly how to configure the report servers to be clustered - no problem there.
    The issue is that when you run a report from forms using run_report_object, you are required to specify a report server name. The Reports docs specify that all of the server names must be unique, so this seems to indicate that you cannot use a clustered report server environment from Forms, or am I missing something somewhere? Oh, wait - an insight coming here - Can you (I'll test this, but it would be good to know) specify a cluster name instead of an actual report server name? Google to the rescue:
    Using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT: If the call specifies a Reports Server cluster name instead of a Reports Server name, the reports_servermap environment variable must be set in the Oracle Forms Services default.env file. If your Oracle Forms application uses multiple Reports Server cluster names, you can map each of those cluster names to a different Reports Server using reports_servermap in rwservlet.properties, as follows:
    There's the answer. Sometimes writing the question down helps figure out the answer :)

    John
