FRM-41213 When calling report from a form using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT

Hi,
I get an error frm-41214:unable to connect to the report server when i am trying to call a report from a form using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT.
My code is as follows:
I have created a simple report using employee table such tht when i give the department number as parameter it should get the corresponding details along with that i also have highlited the system parameters:
DESFORMAT
DESNAME
DESTYPE
also other user parameters as
p_action
p_servername
p_user_connect
and in the before parameter form trigger the following code:
function BeforePForm return boolean is
vc_parameter_form VARCHAR2(4000);
vc_hidden_runtime_values VARCHAR2(1000);
vc_report_name VARCHAR2(100);
begin
IF (:P_ACTION = '_action_') THEN
     vc_hidden_runtime_values := '_hidden_';
ELSE
     srw.get_report_name(vc_report_name);
          vc_hidden_runtime_values:='report='||vc_report_name||'&destype='||:destype||'&desformat='
||:desformat||'&userid='||:p_user_connect||'&server='||:p_servername;
END IF;
vc_parameter_form:='<html><body bgcolor="#ffffff"><form method=post action="'

||'<input type=submit></td><td width=15><td><input type=reset></td>'||'</tr></table><p><hr><p>';
                    srw.set_before_form_html(srw.text_escape,vc_parameter_form);
return (TRUE);
end;
After this i created a form with department table as my datablock:
I created a report object in the form with name REPORT6.
-Created a procedure in the form with the following code
PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC(report_id REPORT_OBJECT,reportserver VARCHAR2,runformat VARCHAR2) IS
report_message VARCHAR2(100);

vc_connect VARCHAR2(300);
BEGIN
vc_user_name:=get_application_property(username);
vc_user_password:=get_application_property(password);
vc_user_connect:=get_application_property(connect_string);
vc_connect:=vc_user_name||'/'||vc_user_password||'@'||vc_user_connect;

report_message:=run_report_object(report_id);
rep_status := report_object_status(report_message);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(report_message);
END LOOP /* Wait for Report to be finished */;
IF rep_status='FINISHED' then
web.show_document('http://iitv-1:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
substr(report_message,instr(report_message,'_',-1)+1)||'?server'
||reportserver,'_blank');
ELSE
message (rep_status||' Report output aborted');
END IF;
END;
I created a press button and in the when_button_pressed trigger i added the following code:
declare
     repid REPORT_OBJECT;
     repserver VARCHAR2(100);
     runformat VARCHAR2(10);
BEGIN
     repid := find_report_object('REPORT6');
     repserver := 'rep_iitv-1';
     runformat := 'HTML';
     run_report_object_proc(repid,repserver,runformat);
     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.

Urgent: Getting FRM-41211 when calling reports from forms for first time.

Hi,
We are running into the FRM-41211 error, when the users try to call a report from a form. The report is called from a form in SYNCHRONOUS mode. This is the only report that is being called. No other report is
running at that time when the users get this error. This is happening only the first time when they try to call the report from the form. After getting this error, when they click on OK, and when they try to call this
report again, the report works fine.
Any ideas?? It's urgent...
Thanks
Vamshi.

Maybe try to use "run_report_product"?

Getting rep-3002 when calling report from form on web

i am getting rep-3002 when i call report from a form on web environment. Report is in character mode. It is coming proper if i change it to bitmap. but my requirement is of character mode. pl. give some solution.

Hello,
If you are running in WinNT/2000 environment, the NT/2000 user which runs the Report Server service must have a printer defined. In the control panel, look at the properties for the Report Server to see what user it runs as. Log in as that user and make sure a default printer is defined.

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.

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);

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).

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.

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.

Supressing the parameter form when calling report from form...

Hi everybody
I call a report from a form passing a parameter. After pressing
the button, the runtime parameter from appears. How do I
suppress it so that the report appears right after pressing the
button???
Thanks

Hi Serguei ,
You have to add a text parameter 'PARAMFORM' with the value
'NO' to the passing parameter list.

Calling report from a form with user input parameters

Hello,
I am new to Oracle reports. I have an application coded in 6i. I am currently running the application in Oracle Forms Builder 9i. There are also few reports which are called from the forms. Since the application was developed in 6i, the report was called using Run_Product. The forms pass a set of user parameters to the report using the parameter list pl_id. The syntax used was Run_Product(REPORTS, 'D:\Report\sales.rdf', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
I learnt that the Run_product doesnt work in 9i and we need to use run_report_object. I have changed the code to use run_report_object and using web.show_document () i am able to run the report from the form. There are 2 parameters that need to be passed from forms to reports. The parameters are from_date and to_date which the user will be prompted to enter on running the form. In the report, the initial values for these parametes are defined. So, the report runs fine for the initial value always. But when i try to change the user inputs for the form_date and to_date, the report output doesnt seem to take the new values, instead the old report with the initial values(defined in the report) runs again.
Can someone give me the code to pass the user defined parameters to the report from the forms? I have defined a report object in the forms node as REPTEST and defined a parameter list pl_id and added form_date and to_date to pl_id and used the following coding:
vrepid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT ('REPTEST');
vrep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (vrepid,pl_id);
But this doesnt work.
Also, Should the parameters defined in the forms and reports have the same name?

Thanks for the quick response Denis.
I had referred to the document link before and tried using the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure and ENCODE functions as given in the doc and added the following SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC :
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,' FROM_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.FROM_DATE||' TO_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.TO_DATE||' paramform=no');
But this also dint work. Please help me understand what difference does setting paramform=no OR paramform=yes make?
In the report, i have defined the user parameters as FROM_DATE and TO_DATE respectively so that they match the form datablock BLK_INPUT items FROM_DATE and TO_DATE.
My WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger is as below:
DECLARE
report_id report_object;
vrep VARCHAR2 (100);
v_show_document VARCHAR2 (2000) := '/reports/rwservlet?';
v_connect VARCHAR2 (30) := '&userid=scott/tiger@oracle';

In the code - " hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&'|| v_report_other; " in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure above, how do i make sure that the v_report_other variable reflects the user input parameters FROM_DATE and TO_DATE ??? v_report_other is initialised as v_report_other VARCHAR2(4000) :=''; in the procedure. Will ensuring that the v_report_other contains the user input parameters FROM_DATE and TO_DATE ensure that my report will run fine for the input parameters?
Thanks in advance.

Hide UserID, Password, and Report Path when call Report from Report

Hi,
I have been able to call Report from Report using the hyperlink.
I put these code in my Field on the Report caller.
function F_3FormatTrigger return boolean is
temp varchar2(2000);
begin
temp := 'http://<computer_name>:8889/reports/rwservlet?';
temp := temp || 'server=repsrv' || '&' ||
                     'report=C:\MyReport\rep_detail.jsp' || '&' ||
                     'userid=scott/tiger@orcl' || '&' ||
                     'desformat=htmlcss' || '&' ||
                     'destype=cache' || '&' ||
                     'P_1=' || :ItemID || '&' ||
                     'P_2=' || :ItemName;
SRW.Set_Hyperlink(temp);
return (TRUE);
end;The hyperlink showed, and I can see the rep_detail.jsp showed in the same browser after I clicked the hyperlink.
The problem is, the hyperlink has to include the reports path and also userid and password.
If I did not put the userid and password, it will showed in another browse that
"The report has uncompiled PL/SQL"
How can I hide those userid, password, and the reports path?
BTW, Is there anyway to show the report callee in different page (precisely, open another IE) from the report caller?
Any help would be grateful.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Hi,
Thanks for the answers.
Yet, I am still doubt about using cgicmd.dat.
I have looked around in this forum saying that it is not secure to use cgicmd.dat. Because all report request does not use authentication (the client can directly open report without login).
In Form, I can use the On-Logon to do the Oracle Form login (to do logon to the database), and then I use my own custom user login to restrict the menu for each user.
I do this since I want to restrict the user,
i.e user A can only view the sales form as well as sales report,
user B can only view the purchasing form as well as purchasing report.
Well, I am not so fond about the SSO itself.
It comes to my mind, since I don't have to re-login (to the database) each time I call another form (login database is only once at the first Form, On-Logon). It also goes to when calling the report caller.
What is RAD?
How can we use it?
Is OID = Oracle Internet Directory?
If true, maybe, I won't use it since I don't understand about it also.
Why we don't have to specify the userid and password when Form calls Report1 (using Run_Report_Object and Web.Show_Document())?
But we have to specify the userid and password when Report1 calls Report2.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

FRM-41214 while calling Report from Forms DS9i

Hi !
I am getting FRM-41214 'Unable to run Report' when i run a report using Run_report_object in Developer Suite 9i. I have checked the Report server which is up and running. Any suggestion for troubleshooting.
Take care
Imran

This is Note:260451.1, you can try it:
Newly created Key in cgicmd.dat file returns the following error when called with rwservlet:
REP-50003: Bad command line
Changes
New key created in cgicmd.dat file.
Cause
Used tabs to add space after ":" and before first parameter.
Fix
1. Edit the cgicmd.dat file.
2. Remove the tab after ":" and before first parameter.
3. Use spaces to separate ":" from first parameter.
Note: Remember that multiple keys in this file MUST be separated by an EXTRA empty line.
This is documented in cgicmd.dat sample as rule 1.

Default file location when calling report from Forms 10G

I've tried this in the reports forum, but it applies equally to forms I guess..
Hi,
I've managed to put together a routine for running a report from a 10G Form. In 6i I specified a "relative path" to my report name as follows:-
"Run_Product(REPORTS, '..\Reports\myreportname', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL); "
In 10G I would like to just specify the report name, rather than the full file path. Can I specify a relative file path - or alternatively can I set the default report location in a configuration file?
At the moment I'm having to specify something like:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_FILENAME,
'c:\oracle\systemname\reports\myreportname.RDF');
I would like to just have:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_FILENAME,
'myreportname.RDF');
Many thanks,
Keith.

Do you run your application on an application server?
If so you should use the REPORTS_PATH environment variable (in windows registry entry).
Alternatively you could use an environmentid in the reports.conf-file:
<server version="10.1.2.0.2">
<environment id="YOURID">
<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="C:\......"/>
</environment>
You call the report with the parameter &envid=YOURID in the URL.

No Parameter form when calling report from Forms 6i webpage

I have my Forms 6i fmx files and Reports rep files runnung off of HP Unix
within the same directory and yet when I call the report with RUN_PRODUCT,
I don't get the Parameter Form popup. I left it as default at first, and then I even tried using ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'HTML') to my parameter pl_id in my RUN_PRODUCT call. Can anyone tell me why I don't get a Parameter form?

Actually if you are on the Web then you don't have much control over the format the parameter form is in, so specifying it as HTML doesn't help.
Try paramform=yes when calling teh Report and this "temporarily" should help. The problem that you run into the is that there is nothing happening when you click the parameter form submit button. The reason is that when using Run_Product you are talking to a static HTML file generated into teh Reports temp directory with no services assigned to it.
Check the Whitepaper under http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/pdf/277282.pdf for the options that you have.
