Calling a report from designer genareted form

i will appraciate if anyone can tell me how to create a form module that navigate to a report module in 9i designer.i tried action item but i receieved couple of different error messages.i have also tried to find information on this but i couldnt
thanks!

Okay, this is gonna be tricky to explain but lemme give it a shot:
I'm assuming that your Report is a Called Module inside your Form. This allowed you to create an Action Item that calls this Report upon pressing the provided button. Now, generate your Form and open the .FMB. Try to locate these two things:
1. The Report attached to your form, with the Designer-provided name "CG$OFG_REPORT", and
2. A Program Unit named "CGNV$AI_(name of action item)" (e.g., I named my action item "FAX" so the prog. unit is named "CGNV$AI_FAX").
If you dig into the Program Unit's code, you will find that it makes use of a procedure named "CGNV$INVOKE_REPORT" which resides in the standard, provided PL/SQL Library "OFGNAVL.PLL" . I looked for my Ofgnavl file and opened it up to inspect the CGNV$INVOKE_REPORT procedure. I found that it has been hard-coded to call the report "CGNV$OFG_REPORT", and not "CG$OFG_REPORT" !!! That's probably why your action item is failing.
Inspect the procedure a little further. There are about seven lines, one after another, that all invoke the SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY built-in procedure, and then the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT immediately after. What I did was to copy this code, go all the way back to Designer (Design Editor), and build myself a procedure under my module's Application Logic, Named Routines which calls the correct report (I even varied this slightly by specifying the report by it's filename). I even added some code to put out some feedback (i.e., Message) to tell the user when the report has finished successfully.
To make a long story short, I wrote a procedure to invoke my report, and then I just created a button that calls the procedure when a user presses it.
Hope this helps. Feel free to email me if you need further guidance.

Calling a report from a web form & specifying PDF format

Has anyone been able to call a report from Oracle Forms (6i or 9i) in a web browser (i.e. by pressing a button or any other link)? We are having problems generating the report in PDF format when we web deployed our forms. In client server mode it works fine with the report deferring to PDF. But in the web browser it reverts to a messy HTML format with the columns being distorted. Running a standalone report from the web is no problem but when it is linked with a form it goes back to HTML. In the old forms (5.0) we used a function like run_product but I am not sure what the problem is in the new environment.

Hello,
According to the way the reports is launched, the format of the reports output depends on the
variables : FORMS60_REPFORMAT (for Forms 6.0 and 6i)
Two others variables are used : FORMS60_OUTPUT and FORMS60_MAPPING.
Can you check the variable FORMS60_REPFORMAT ?
regards Dennis:
Thanks for the info. Your suggestion of changing the windows registry setting FORMS60_REPFORMAT to 'PDF' worked! I did not have to make any other changes to the form. I left the run_product format as is in the form and it worked like a charm. When we eventually migrate to Oracle Reports/Forms 9i we will look into using run_report_object. But for now we will stick with Oracle Forms6i. There was no need to alter the other registry settings FORMS60_MAPPING and FORMS60_OUTPUT since I followed the instructions of setting the virtual directories (symbolic links) when I installed the forms and reports services.
Thanks again for your help!

Calling a Report from a Web Form

Hi,
I am calling a Report developed in report 6i from a Web form 6i
Button. I am unable to launch the Report if Report is using a
Customized Template. The report is able to launch if it has no
template or using the templates given in report wizard. Is there
any setting required in the Report Server for reading the
template file???

Call 10g report from 4.5 form

Hi everyone,
Can anyone please tell me, how can i call a 10g report from a 4.5 form? Which are the implications on both sides?
thanks in advance,
MC
Please, can anyone help me?

All of these suggestions are limited because of the forms engine and plsql engine within forms. You will have to try them. And none of these configurations are supported by oracle.
Use the old run_product. You will have to install reports runtime on every client
RUN_PRODUCT(product, document, commmode, execmode, location,
list, display);Try to make a call to a package in the database that calls utl_http, which makes a call to your reports server via a url.
Maybe an OLE or VBX call out to IE?
All of these are stabs in the dark.
Try upgrading forms!!!

What is the best way to call the reports from the form ??? pls help...
Thanks in avdance.
Jitesh ([email protected])

You can use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT with CACHE type, and WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to view the document on the screen.
In the Forms help you should find examples.
If you have access to Metalink, have a look at Note:207396.1.

**How to call a report from a form by passing a specfic value?????

Hi Expert,
I want to call a report from a form.My problem scenario like, a user is login to his account and there is a option called ADMIT CARD(Push Button).Now when he pressed the button a report will generate.I want that when he pressed the button the user id of the user will passed to the report and the report will generate corresponding to his details which was stored in the database.This scenario is like any online admit card.
Suppose I want a details report of employee whose employee_id=100.How could I pass this value(employee id) to report which will generate a report details.

Calling a report from a form based on procedure

I created a form based on a procedure.
It is a entry form where the user is selecting or enters data then on submit I must display the report based on selected data.
I know I can simply create a report with all bind variable and do the job.
My question is what is the syntax to call the report from the procedure for the selected parameters values.
Thanks
Lawrence

If you want to display other HTML page after successful submission, you need to use
either go or call method.
I created a form on SCOTT.EMP and a report on SCOTT.EMP and the report accept a parameter for
the deptno. Here is my on successfull submission code:
declare
l_dept number;
l_url varchar2(2000);
begin
l_dept := p_session.get_value_as_number('DEFAULT', 'A_DEPTNO', 1);
l_url := 'scott.rpt_mask_1.show?p_arg_names=emp.deptno&p_arg_values='| |l_dept;
go(l_url);
end;

Calling Report from Menu (Oracle Forms 10g)

We have the applications in Forms6i & Reports 6i (Client Server) and migrating to Forms 10g and Reports 10g. We have the menu, from that menu we are calling all the forms and Reports. For especially Reports earlier we user RUN_PRODUCT but now 10g it is not working. How can call the report using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT
Important things we have some dynamic parameters (input) to the each report. That means when i called the report from the menu i need to get first parameter form to take the parameters and then can be run the report.

Here is the code to call report from menu in 10g
DECLARE

Calling a Report from a Form

I have uploaded my form to the app server and compiled to Linux. I have copied my RDF file to the reports_path/demo directory. I can run the report via a link from our portal using the URL as follows:
/reports/rwservlet?report=IndRpt.rdf&desformat=pdf&destype=cache&userid=' target="_blank"
That opens the report in a separate window, which is what we want. So far, so good.
I can run the form via a link from our portal as well using the URL as follows:
/forms/frmservlet?config=bsc_ind
The config section hides all the form parameters very nicely.
In the portal, I created a Report Server Access portlet, REP_OMHAST2_MIDTIER, and use the following set_report_object calls in my form:
repid := find_report_object('IndRep');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTYrepid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTYrepid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTYrepid,REPORT_SERVER,'rep_omhast2_midtier');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,ls_param);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
/*Display report in the browser*/
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://omhast2.omh.state.ny.us:7777/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=rep_omhast2_midtier ','_blank');
All that comes right out of the white paper.
Now here's the weird part, I have never seen this before. When I click my "Show Report" button in my form, the report seems to be running, but then I get a very strange dark grey, square icon superimposed over my mouse pointer. The icon has a small yellow "starburst" pattern with a tiny red exclamation point inside. The report does not appear on screen.
Incidentally, all of this works correctly when I run the same scenario on my workstation using the call to rwserver as: rwserver server=rep_omhast2_midtier. But when we port it to the app server, it does not run. I think it has to be in the way the form calls the report because the report will run as a stand-alone object.
Anything apparent to anyone out there?

Well, it looks like I stumped the band. And with good reason. Sorry for the error. The problem was that the user running the form and the report had a pop-up blocker that was blocking the report. The form and the report ran from another machine. I allowed pop-ups from the report's URL and that enabled the report to appear.
So, here we have another example of how to call a report from a form. Again, I am sorry for any angst this may have caused.

CALLING A REPORT FROM FORMS (PROBLEM)

MY PROBLEM IS THE NEXT:
I CREATED A MASTER-DETAIL REPORT CALLING 'ASUNTOS'WITH THE NEXT QUERY:
SELECT ABOGADOS.APELLIDO_P,ABOGADOS.APELLIDO_M,ABOGADOS.NOMBRES,
ASUNTOS.EXP_INT,ASUNTOS.MATERIA,ASUNTOS.GERENCIA,
ASUNTOS.EMPRESA,ASUNTOS.RECLAMA,ASUNTOS.PESOS,
ASUNTOS.DOLARES
FROM ABOGADOS,ASUNTOS
WHERE ABOGADOS.FICHA = ASUNTOS.F_ABOG
AND ASUNTOS.F_ABOG = :ABOGADO ;
-- ABOGADO = PARAMETER.
THIS REPORT WORKS FINE THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I TRY CALL THIS REPORT FROM FORM I'VE USE A BUTTON(WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED) WITH THE NEXT CODE:
DECLARE
LISTA PARAMLIST := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('ABOG');
BEGIN
IF ID_NULL(LISTA) THEN
LISTA := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('ABOG');
ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'PRINTER');
ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER,'LPT2');
ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'ABOGADO',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR(:ASUNTOS.F_ABOG));
-- ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'YES');
END IF;
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,'ASUNTOS',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,LISTA,NULL);
END;
BUT THE REPORT NOTHING DISPLAY.
THERE ARE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CODE IN THE BUTTON

Roberto,
Does your report work when it is not called from Forms?
try the following:
[TOOLS_HOME]\BIN\RWRUN60 module=ASUNTOS destype=screen userid=<username>/<password>@<tns> ABOGADO=<some_valid_code>
where TOOLS_HOME is the directory where Reports is installed.
I can see nothing wrong with your code.
Maybe some error in the query?
Also, I would check for the existence of multiple ASUNTOS report definitions. Maybe Forms is calling an older one.
Hope this helps,
