Calling Report from a Form on the same page

Hi,
We have a SEARCH Form and when user inputs search criteria, then we want to call a report on the same page, just below the search button. We tried many things but the report does not show up on the same page, it navigates to next page.
Please help..
Thanks
Kumar.

I am trying to do a similar thing... I have created a form application component and a Report application component which is called from the search form. This works fine.
I expose the search form as a component and put it on a portal page. I do the same with the report.
When I call the page and enter the search params in the form and call the report, the report appears in a separate non-portal window. I would like the report in the same portal page to be run in-line with the new parameters.
Has anyone done this before?

How to update a report from a form on the same page when form item changes

I have a portal form from a table and a portal SQL report with a bind variable on a page. I want the report to get updated with details based upon what was selected from a form item. The form item is a selection from a dynamic LOV. Whenever the form item gets changed, the report should get updated to reflect the change. Can this be done using a javascript ONCHANGE event?
Oracle Portal Version is 10.1.2.2.0.

Your applet can open an URLConnection and read directly a document from your webserver.
public String readText() {
java.net.HttpURLConnection conn = (java.net.HttpURLConnection)myURL.openConnection(); ...
}So using JavaScript on your page, you might call readText() to fill that textarea.
The interesting link you gave, handled the JavaScript/Applet interaction. Test that with just return "Hello";.
The real programming is more interesting.

How to pass a parameter from a report to multiple forms in the same page

Hi:
i have a report and a lot of forms in the same page. The fact is that i want to stablish a link over a filed in the report which would make some information appear in those forms so that information could be updated. For example: i have a report with company names. Over those names i want to put a link. When the link would be pressed the forms would reflect the information about that comany. Is this possible to be done? how can i do this or something similar?
Thanks.
Regards. Urko.

Please see post Re: session state security
It has been done for a single form in a page and can be extended to multiple forms as well.

Calling Report From Oracle Forms

Hi
I am calling this one report from oracle forms, I am using global temporary table to run that report. I am first inserting data into the temporary table through oracle form and then i am calling report in that form to view the data in that temporary table. The problem is, we can not view the data of an other session if we are using temporary table. When i call report from that form a new session get created due to which i can not see the data. Is there any method of calling report from oracle form that a same session is used to run the report?
Thanks.

As you mention Forms and Reports do not share the database session. I had the same problem and resolved it using record groups and DATA_PARAMETER to transfer data from Forms to Reports. You could also read the Note 110495.1 on Metalink to find useful information regarding this issue.

Hi,
You have to have the report server
a. Installed and configured
b. Running.
See
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_strt001.htm
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_verify004.htm
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_conf003.htm#i1007341
If you are using rwservlet then you will find the name from the Configuration file referred to in the last link.
Cheers,

Calling reports from oracle forms 9i

Hi
I succeded to call reports from oracle forms but for I have a problem for only one report so I can't call it. this a part of the code I'm using :
declare
     pl_id2 ParamList;
     pl_name2 VARCHAR2(30) := 'liste2';
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
     rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
begin
pl_id2 := get_parameter_list(pl_name2);
if (Id_Null(pl_id2) )THEN
pl_id2 := Create_Parameter_List(pl_name2);
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id2) THEN
     add_parameter(pl_id2,'mois',TEXT_PARAMETER,:mois);
END IF;
end if;
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id2) THEN
if(:mois is not null) then
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT('My_report',pl_id2);
message(v_rep);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);

ELSE
message('Error when running report');
END IF;
end;
the problem I've remarqued is that the function message(v_rep) is always returning the value :'repserver_0'.
so when I execute the previous code I'm getting the 2 messages : 'repserver_0' and 'Error when running report'.
Rq: the report my_report is running very well in report builder.
does someone see where is the problem so can help me??
thanx.

Hi,
This usually happens when the report fails on the report server. To obtain details on why a particular report has failed, use the showjobs page :
http://server.domain:PORT/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=repserver
and check the detailed error occured.
This is logged as Bug:3017948. It is marked to be fixed in version 9.0.4 (Reports 10g) and also has one-off patches for version 9.0.2.3 on Windows platforms. If you need further assistance about patches, please raise a Service Request (SR) with Support via Metalink (http://metalink.oracle.com).

For "select-form" in the same page, add a cancel button in editing status

Dear JHeadstart team
For "select-form" in the same page, I still have a trouble.
How can I customize the Tempalte File to make the editing page have cancel button to abandon the edit.
If I want to learn the the JHS's Template costomizing (.vm file) and where can I find more reference documents about JHS's Template costomizing (excepting "Oracle JHeadstart 10g for ADF Developer's Guide").
thanks!

Can you be more precise on what you want:
- should the cancel button be displayed when creating new row AND editing existing row?
- when pressing the Cancel button, where do you want to go, to the select page?

Calling Report from a Form

Hi All,
I tried to call a report from a form (using this form as a parameter form)but unfortunately it is not working out for me. I used the run_product built in.
Could someone examine my code and tell me what is wrong?
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('OPEN');
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('OPEN');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_BUNIT',TEXT_PARAMETER, :BLOCK3.BUNIT);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_AGRMT',TEXT_PARAMETER,:BLOCK3.AGRMT);
add_parameter(pl_id,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'SCREEN');
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
run_product(REPORTS, 'APRIL11', SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END;
null

Olan,
Your code looks good, and it should work.
Maybe you should check your report to make sure it is under oralce report path, user-defined parameters in the report are same name, type,lengh as in the form parameters, and correct system parameters.
good luck.

Urgent: Calling Reports from Oracle Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2) fails

Problem displaying a report from within Oracle 10g forms.
After a lot of work, we are able to access and actually display a report directly from Internet explorer and view the report from the report server as well.
The successful url was:
http://york.vrc.virginia.gov:7778/reports/rwservlet
?report=/u01/app/oracle/produ ct/vrcmidtier/reports/vrc/pmw41051.rdf
&userid=vrcpr/vrcpr@vrctest&destype=cache&desformat=HTML
The form displays correctly back to the screen
When executing from within the form, however, the report runs but does not display back to the screen.
Forms Steps so far:
created a report object called pmw41050
static parameters are:
file name: /u01/app/oracle/product/vrcmidtier/reports/vrc/pmw41051.rdfination format
execution mode: batch
communication mode: synchronous
destination name; null
destination format: HTML
reportserver:: vrc_york_midtier
Built a when button pressed trigger as follows:
declare
l_report_file varchar2(200);
l_report_id REPORT_OBJECT;
l_report_status varchar2(200);
begin
-- capture the report
l_report_file := 'pmw41051';
l_report_id := find_report_object(l_report_file);
-- set the parameters for this output
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, CACHE);
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'PDF');
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_SERVER, 'rep_york_vrcmidtier');
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_OTHER, 'PARAMFORM=NO');
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_DESNAME, 'DESNAME');
-- and run the report
l_report_status := run_report_object(l_report_id);
-- monitor progress
while l_report_status in ('RUNNING', 'OPENING_REPORT', 'ENQUEUED') loop
l_report_status := report_object_status(l_report_status);
end loop;
message('back from the report'); -- test message for return
end;
The report executes without error (as indicated by the message on the last line) but does NOT display back to the screen
checking the rwservlet/showjobs verifies the report completed and the reportcan be displayed from there.
So, bottom line: how to make a 10g form call report and display it on the screen?

Thanks MIke for your feedback...
Will this surfice?

     END;
Then tried to run the form but i got this error frm-41213 unable to connect to the report server.
Any one please help me.

Column link to populate a form on the same page

Hello all,
Can anyone tell me how I can use a report column link -- that when the link is clicked will populate all of the text fields of my form which is on the SAME page? The form has about 10 fields, and their is only (3) Name/Value associations for a column link.
Thanks,
Jeff

Great! Thanks for the advice. It appears that when you do that, it changes the column link attributes to a URL and puts the name/values in the URL -- when I first clicked on the link, it would not work -- said that it could not find item P6_FAX. I looked at the URL and then I deleted some of the spaces after the commas in the URL and it works great.
Thanks!

Can we have Manual Form and Tabular form in the same page..

Hi,
Is it possible to create a form manually with Save/Apply Change button and another Tabular form using wizard on the same page such that -
if we click the save button on the manulaly created form , it should save the data present in manual form as well as Tabular form...
Edited by: Apex_Noob on Mar 21, 2009 5:58 AM

Hi Dan,
My table structure is :

process_description ( varchar2 )
Process Region
process_id ( number )
region_id ( number )
Process_website

At present my manual form does the following :-
When users click on SAVE button , it run PAGE PROCESS , ADD_PROCESS
In ADD_PROCESS ,
I have following logic to insert into process table
Select seq.next_val into temp_variable from dual; - This is the process_id
insert into process values ( temp_variable , :p2_process_owner , :p2_cateogory , .... )
to insert into region i used the following logic ( Region is displyed as check box :p2_region north=1 , south=2 ,east = 3 and west = 4)
l_vc_arr2 := APEX_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(:P2_REGION);
    FOR z IN 1..l_vc_arr2.count LOOP
       INSERT INTO "REGION" VALUES
       ( temp_variable ,

2 manually created tabular form on the same page based on 2 different table

Hi, I followed the how to document on manually creating tabular form, including one extra row.
The first form I created works fine, but when I attempt to create the second tabular form based on a different table on the same page, I get the following error message when I try to create the query:
ORA-04045: errors during recompilation/revalidation of PUBLIC.X ORA-00980: synonym translation is no longer valid
The logic behind both tabular forms I am using is the same, except that for the second query, I use 100 instead of 1, 300 instead of 3, etc:
select htmldb_item.hidden(1,empno) empno,
ename,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(3,job,'select distinct job, job from emp') job,
htmldb_item.popupkey_from_query(4,mgr,'select ename, empno from emp',10) mgr,
wwv_flow_item.date_popup(6,null,hiredate) hiredate,
htmldb_item.text(7,sal,10) sal,
htmldb_item.text(8,comm,10) comm,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(9,deptno,'select dname, deptno from dept') deptno
from emp
Can anybody help?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
If by "100 instead of 1" you mean the column numbers, then this won't work as you can only have a maximum of 50.

How to open a link from search engine in the same page

I just noticed that my links are opening in new windows instead of on the same page on Safari. Is there anyway I can change it back to where if I click on a link in the Yahoo search engine that it would just open within the same page without opening a new tab or window, where I can go back and forth between pages? For example, say I type in "wikipedia" on Yahoo home page and click search. Then it takes me to the Yahoo! Search Results page with a link to the Wikipedia website. When I click on that link, the Wikipedia home page loads right within the same page instead of opening a new tab or window and loading into that new tab or window. If I wanted to go back to the search results, I can just click the back button. I remember Safari doing that before, is there anyway to get back to that? Thanks.

You can set the Integer pref <b>browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external</b> to "<i>1</i>" on the <b>about:config</b> page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
The browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external pref uses the same values as this pref for JavaScript window.open() calls.

Opening another iview from an iview in the same page ....

Hello ....
I need to open another iview from an existing one in the same page without overwriting the other existing iviews on the page. I am using EPCM.doNavigate() as given below
EPCM.doNavigate('ROLES://portal_content/com.hersheys.Hershey_Content/com.hersheys.Human_Resources/com.hersheys.hr.sap_mss_iviews/EmployeeExit?SCENARIO_PARAMS=PERNR='+person,0);
The iview does open in the same page, however i lose the other iviews on the top and bottom of the page ....
Any pointers??
Thanks,
Devina

Hi Devina,
Try using IUrlGeneratorService to generate the URL to the required iView, instead of EPCM.doNavigate().
doNavigate sometimes refreshes the whole page while loading the required iView.
cheers
