Calling a report from pl/sql

Is it possible to call a report from pl/sql. I want to create a package which when invoked by dbms_jobs will create parameters and then call a report.
Thanks in advance,
Mark.

Hello,
a package is provided : srwAPIins.sql installs the Event-Driven Publishing API.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_evnt.htm
The Event-Driven Publishing API is a PL/SQL package that provides the basic functions required for the development of procedures that respond to events in the database. Event-driven jobs are submitted using the HTTP protocol. The server assigns a unique job_ident record to every call, useful for tracking the status of the job.

Here in this case even though i specify the report id in the parameter,debugger message says that 'You did not specify the name'.
The same code is working in some other server and giving the pdf output.
Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Hello Chirag,
If you want to invoke and run a report from your PL/SQL code in the database, you can do so by installing and using the SRW package supplied with Reports. This package allows you to run parametrized report jobs on a specified Reports Server from your PL/SQL program and track the job status. Please take a look at the documentation for this package in the Publishing Reports manual on OTN at: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/A92102_01/toc.htm.
On the other hand, if you just need to invoke the Reports Builder program from your PL/SQL routine, you would need to use the default builtin for calling external applications from PL/SQL.
Thanks,
The Oracle Reports Team.

Try to call report from report by a button in the calling report:
1     In the Layout Model view, click in the tool palette. Note
2     Click and drag a rectangle.
3     Double-click the button object to display the Property Palette.
4     Under the Button Label node, set the Label Type property to either Text or Icon:
n     If the button label is text, set the Text property to the text you want to appear on the button.
n     If the button label is an icon, set the Icon Name property to the name of the file containing the icon (the file must reside in the directory specified by the UI_ICON environment variable).
5     Under the Button Behavior node, set the Type property to PL/SQL.
6     Double-click the PL/SQL Trigger property value field.
7     In the PL/SQL Editor, define the PL/SQL for the action trigger or format trigger when the button is clicked in the formatted report.

There is a solution for executing an executable like RWRUN60

p=4950:8:227101::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_B:150612348067,Y

UTL_HTTP
Hope this helps

Generating reports from PL/SQL

I'm new to the world of BI Publisher - so far I'm impressed with what I've seen. I've managed to create a report and an RTF template and generate some nice looking PDF's :)
What I need to do now is to have a nightly job that produces PDF shipment reports using my template for all new shipments generated during the day and I'm having a little difficulty putting it all together.
I've looked at the BI Publisher API's that allow me to generate an XSL from my RTF template and the using the FO engine merge the XSL and XML data to produce the PDF. Then using the delivery manager API's I can send these reports out via email.
I'm a little unsure of how to get the XML source - I've played around with the DataEngine API to generate XML from a SQL query so I think that's where I should be heading.
Does this all sounds right ? Ideally, I want to be able to do all of this from within a scheduled PL/SQL job every night but all the interaction with the BI server seems to be via Java.
Is there an easy(ish) way to run all of this from within PL/SQL ?
And should I be going about this by:
1/ generate XML data using dataengine API
2/ create an RTF template using word and the xml data generated above
3/ use the RTF processor to generate an XSL-FO from my RTF template
(1-3 will only need to be done once)
4/ Then my nightly job will use the dataengine to generate new shipment XML data
5/ use FO processor to generate PDF's from each
6/ use delivery manager API's to email out
All sounds very cumbersome and intense -is there no easier way ?! :) Also, I'm thinking i should be using the bursting engine to split one query containing all the new shipment data and generate/mail a PDF for each shipment ? Is that necessary if all going to the same email address ?
Help/guidance/suggestions greatly appreciated !
Many thanks,
Brent

Calling another report from a report

just wanna explore the possibility...
i have a.bat which will call a.rep.
in a.rep, a function will loop and call b.rep.
is this possible?

Hi KLC
This is prasanth again. In reports we can call a report from another report which is called "drilleddown reports"
If ur requirement is this one, then we can do this by using SRW builtin called srw.run_report.
syntax is srw.run_report(reportname,<arguements if any)
Place a push button in report 'a' and put this code in that button.
I think this will solve your problem. I dont know exactly what requirement you have. Because for ur last question regarding distribution not clearly understood, so i suggestion is incorrect. any way i am trying to distribute the date based on sql model and i will suggesst you soon, Since i am also a developer,please try my suggestion but i am not sure that will work 100% correctly.
thans and regards

Hello,
I have a report and I want to call it from a procedure. How can I do it?
thank you. regards,

Not true, you can call it, but you cannot display the report, only write it to a file.
You can use the srw package for this

Invoking XML Publisher Report from PL/SQL

Hi,
I have a PL/SQL procecedure which invokes the Concurrent Request for the XML Publisher Report. This one finishes with a warning and I get 'Unable to publish output' when I try to view the output. Exact Error: "Unable to find the published output for this request "
But if I run the same report using Concurrent program, the Report executes with no error. Also the desired output is coming. I am not sure where I am doing wrong in code.
My code which invokes the XML Publisher Report (from PL/SQL package)is something like this:
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout (template_appl_name => 'XXTMG', template_code => 'XXT_5001_BOL_T', template_language => 'EN', template_territory => 'US', output_format => 'XML');
l_no_of_copies := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_NO_OF_COPIES');
l_printername := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_PRINTER');
l_print_style := NULL; --For setting the Printer Options
l_result := fnd_request.set_print_options (l_printername, l_print_style, l_no_of_copies, TRUE, 'N');
l_result := fnd_request.add_printer (l_printername, 0);
y := fnd_request.submit_request ('XXTMG', 'XXT_5001_BOL', '', TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS'), FALSE, 'CH-120079') ;
end;
Please let me know where I might be going wrong
Thanks

Hi Sumit,
You can try with this code:
exec dbms_application_info.set_client_info(org_id)
exec fnd_global.APPS_INITIALIZE(user_id,resp_id,appl_id);
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout ('XXTMG' --template_appl_name
          ,'XXT_5001_BOL_T' --template_code
          ,'en' --template_language
     ,'US' --template_territory
     ,'XML' --output_format
if (x=TRUE) then
y := fnd_request.submit_request (
                    'XXTMG'           --application
                    ,'XXT_5001_BOL'      --program
                    ,SYSDATE          --start_time
                    ,FALSE               --sub_request
                    ,'CH-120079'          --argument1 (Program's Parameter)
if y>0 then
          dbms_output.put_line('Request ID '||y);
end if;
end if; --if (x=TRUE) then
end;
Make sure that program has only one input parameter. If program has other parameters then you can pass those parameters like argument1, argument2... etc.
Now you can see this submited request in your application using your user id. If you able to see your request in concurrent request then you can add printer parameters in this programs.
You don't need to pass all 100 parameters.
I am executing many programs/reports using this code.
Thanks

Run report from PL/sql procedure

Please any one tell how to I run a report from pl/sql procedure.

I am not sure, but depending on your environment you can create a script to run your PL/SQL code and then generate the report. As is customary in an UNIX environment utilizing shell scripts.
