HTML Parameter Form Header

Hi,
I have change my parameter form header in the Before Report Value to add a image by adding the image tag in the parameter form HTML tag. For the source of the image tag, I just put the image file name.
But now, when I try to run the report through web browser the image cannot be displayed. why thi will happen?
Where should I put the image in the webserver?
Thanks in advance.

Calling a JSP Report From HTML parameter form

Hi,
I m trying to run a JSP Report from a HTML parameter Form. The JSP reports requires a parameter named userid in the URL with a valid value for database connection.
eg. URL "http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_crdinf.jsp?userid=sysapps/system@trt1". We have created a variable on the server named "parmformjsp" with a value "sysapps/system@trt1". Now i use this variable in the URL as follows, eg. "http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_crdinf.jsp?parmformjsp".
When i use this URL to call another JSP report from a JSP report it works fine, but the same does not work when calling a JSP report from a HTML form.
the code for HTML parameter form calling a report is as follows,
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Parameter Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Parameter Form</p>
<form name="form1" method="GET"
action="http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_custrns.jsp?parmformjsp">
<p>From Date<input type="text" name="p_fmdate" size="20"></p>
<p>To Date<input type="text" name="p_todate" size="20"></p>
<p> </p>
<p><input type="submit" ><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html>
If i create an input parameter named "userid" with a valid database connection value, remove the ?parmformjsp part from the action URL then it works fine. How can i call the JSP report using the parmformjsp variable name instead of using the "userid" clause in the URL.Can anyone suggest any workaround....
Thanks & Best Regards,
Unmesh

do it like this...
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
BEGIN
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL', TEXT_PARAMETER, :ROUTE_CARD.ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL);
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'D:\STL_FINAL\CHPREPORTS_FINAL\ROUTE_CARD.REP', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END; what exactly happens when you call the report. if its showing the blank page... may be you are not passing the right parameter name. cross-check that your parameter name in the report is 'ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL'.

Hello,
To display the buttons "Submit" and "Reset" at the bottom of the Parameter Form, just put the lines
<input type=submit>
<input type=reset>
just before the tag </form>
Example of "After Form Value" :
<table><tr>
<td><input type=submit></td>
<td width=15>
<td><input type=reset></td>
</tr></table>
</center>
</body>
</form>
</html>

JSP HTML parameter form to call report - Dependent drop down list

I have a report parameter form developed using HTML & JSP to call oracle reports6i.
First parameter "STATES", Second Parameter "CITY"
I have a master-detail relation betwen STATE & CITY table.
I want the parameter form drop down lists dependant. ie if the user chang STATE value in the first drop down, the second drop down list CITY shoud
change automatically.
Please help
Thanks

Vimal,
This is not functionality that's available in the Reports generated parameter form. In order to do this you'll need to build the parameter form yourself as a true HTML form and code the javascript to link the fields.
Hope this helps,

Report Parameter form not showing list of values in Report svr

I was using reports 6i where I used to have list box in report parameter form. I now converted recompiled my reports in 10g and when I run I am not geting the list of values. I get the values as a list below the field
ex.
ITEM :___________
box,book,pencil,rubber,
dvd,floppy...
previously it was coming as a list in the item field
thanks

If you run the report from a Web browser and the list of values is unrestricted, the HTML Parameter Form will display a text field instead of a combo box, and a list of static values that you can copy and paste into the text field.

LOV on Parameter form can not show in IE

In report builder I build two user parameter by Parameter Form builder.
one is the search_mouth in which we type the month, the other is department_name
which is selected by a drop down list and we can not type the name only select a name from the list.
Everything is ok when I run it in report environment, but when I call it in browser the search_mouth field is ok, but the department_name change to a common textfield not a drop down list ,and all department_name is shown below the textfield.
command line is http://10.20.8.102:8888/reports/rwservlet?destype=cache&desformat=PDF&report=myrep&userid=scott/tiger@paramform=yes
I do not know how to show the dynamic list in browser.

In Reports Builder :
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/topics/htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs/rwwhthow/howto/params/pmp_creating_list_of_values.htm
If you run the report from a Web browser and the list of values is unrestricted, the HTML Parameter Form will display a text field instead of a combo box, and a list of static values that you can copy and paste into the text field. In this case, the first column will always be shown in the Parameter Form, even if Hide First Column is selected.

Reports 10g R2 error using parameter form

I am trying to run some reports that are being called from a form (using REPORT_OBJECT). If I set PARAMFORM=YES, I get a HTML parameter form that look correct. When I click the Submit button, I get a 'HTTP 500 server error'
Are parameter forms supposed to be working in 10g?

Hello,
Yes and it is documented in the PDF :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frmrepparamform.pdf
Have you checked the HTML source of the parameter form ?
What is the value of the attribute ACTION in the element FORM ?

Defaulting Parameter Form DESTYPE to Printer???

I am trying to run reports from forms with a parameter form (PARAMFORM=yes) and default the Destination Type parameter to Printer (DESTYPE=Printer) in the 10g environment. The problem when I do this is that the html code for the parmeter form is sent out to the printer. I just want the destype setting defaulted to printer so that once the user enters needed parameters and hits the submit button the report output goes to the printer. Does anyone know a way to do this??
It seems to me that the reports sever knows it is dealing with the html parameter form that it generated so I am puzzled that it sends this to the printer?? I would think that the destype, desname, desformat, etc.. of the report object would not apply to the html parmeter form itself but it certainly seems to. What am I missing here?
I realize I can set the destype to cache and then have the user select "Print" when they are ready but any time we add more mouse clicks for the end user it is a very big deal so that is NOT a good solution.

hi, pls try to set DESTYPE:= 'Printer' in after report trigger

Parameter form works on web but submit query causes url error

we have been able to both run the report on the web server with parameters preincluded and run a parameter form by itself. The question is how do you run a report with a parameter form on the web in which you enter the parameters and then submit the query without it giving you a cannot find url error?
Any help is greatly appreciated

These values are not stored in any file. Reports server will replace action and hidden with the actual values while generating parameter form. You can see the source of html parameter form generated to understand these.
For your scheduling requirement one very simple solution would be to create a user parameter with name 'SCHEDULE' and map a field in the pform to the 'SCHEDULE' user parameter.
You can also use a hidden field by name 'SCHEDULE' and set the value using javascript when button is clicked.

Max limit of record fetch in Parameter form

I am working in Reports 6i.
I am populating the LOV in Parameter form. The query used in the LOV returns more than 1,00,000 records.
When I execute the report it encounters with the following error
REP-0066: Error executing CA Utility
REP-3335: Unhandled Internal CA Error.
calaa 1
When I remove this parameter form query my report runs smoothly without any error.
Please help me whether there is any solution to populate morethan 1,00,000 rows in the parameter form.
Thanks In Advance
Dheeraj

I would question why you're trying to generate an LOV with 100,000 rows in it. You possibly should consider another UI for presenting to the user, possibly have a Forms parameter form to drive the report where you have a lot more control (including tree controls).
Another alternative is to create an HTML parameter form using Reports before/after parameter form escapes to generate the HTML controls you need. The constraints then come down to those of the browser rather than Reports.

Web Reports --- How submit button on the parameter form works ?

Hi all,
I understand that when we deploy the rdf and run the report through web it opens up with 'Submit query' and 'Reset' buttons. And this is from the html code that we see in BEFORE FORM VALUE (Report Escapes).
<html>
<body dir=&Direction bgcolor="#ffffff">
<form method=post action="_action_">
<input name="hidden_run_parameters" type=hidden value="_hidden_">
<font color=red></font>
<center>
<p><table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0>
<tr>
<td><input type=submit></td>
<td width=15>
<td><input type=reset></td>
</tr>
</table>
<p><hr><p>
I'm just wondering how form action "_action_" is being taken care of when we click on 'Submit Query' button. Which file will it look for to get these values (action and hidden params ) ?
I would like to add a new button 'Schedule' on this parameter form which behaves exactly as it does with 'Submit' but I would like to add 'schedule' command in the URL. I could create a 'Schedule' button but was not able to build the functionality on what happens if someone clicks on it.
For this I need to understand how "Submit Query" works.
Please give me some inputs on this,
Thank you
ML.

These values are not stored in any file. Reports server will replace action and hidden with the actual values while generating parameter form. You can see the source of html parameter form generated to understand these.

Parameter form for web report

Hello,
Using rwservlet on the web I can specify paramform=yes and I'll get a parameter form for my reports, which is really handy as it saves me from having to build my own forms. However when I run JSPs directly I cannot seem to get the automated form. Am I missing something obvious or is the parameter form just not available when you run JSPs directly?
Cheerio,
Robert

Hi Robert,
The description of the command line keyword PARAMFORM in Publishing Reports manual says:
Use PARAMFORM to specify whether to display the Runtime Parameter Form when you execute a report via CGI or a servlet. PARAMFORM is used only to supply parameters to paper layout reports, not Web source reports.
For JSP reports you need to create an HTML parameter form which calls the JSP and submits the parameters selected.
You can find Reports documentation (incl Publishing Reports here):

How to Change the display format of Parameter form in HTML

I have created a parameter form to allow user to choose the parameter values before printing the report. The parameter which will display in the web-browser has its own predefined format. How am i going to change this format? eg. changing the Background color, table background color, put in some pictures, set the alignment of the text and fields....
Now I am able to change the header and footer. I can put in the company logo in the header by changing the report escape - Before form value and the footer in the report escape - after form value. How about the body which all the boilet text and fields will be display here? I need to change the alignment, the table background color and the text style and format also... where should i change this?
Thanks

Reports only provides limited formatting for the parameter form. In your case, you seem to need to take over greater control of the parameter form and you're halfway there.
You've noted that you can control the header & footer values, what you need to do is extend those escapes to render the complete parameter form and remove everything from the actual reports parameter form. ie: Remove the labels/parameter form fields and render these directly in the HTML in the before parameter HTML escape. This allows you to insert any HTML you want - you probably want to start with the Reports generated HTML and move it into Frontpage to edit to your required format.
What you are doing in this case is still using Reports url/submit mechanism and parameter form validation but bypassing Reports rendering of the parameter form.

Heading Change in "Report Parameter Form"

Hi,
Is there any way to change Headings and presentation on "Report Parameter Form" in 11g,
as shown in
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KYY-OV98iIo/TCnw5J8TEaI/AAAAAAAAAHo/9DnTJTs8now/s1600/here03.bmp
is displaying headings like
"Report Parameters" and "Enter Values for Parameters, Enter Start: , Enter End:"
Can they be user given
Farrukh

The parameter form is inside the report and the layout of it can be altered.
The only exception to if there is an automatic parameter form....but that is not the case in the example
that you have shown.

Problem in reports6i parameter form customization

I am calling report developed under reports6i using rwservlet from j2ee web application. I was able to successfully customize the parameter form internal to report using Report Escapes properties, Before Form value and After Form value. I am using header.htm and footer.htm to render header and footer related html. I am able to use style sheet file also. Everything is working fine with this file. But when I try to repeat the same changes to another report (rdf), it is not taking the changes. No matter what I do, report is taking the settings from parameter form builder tool. When I run the report outside of web ie., from report builder, it is showing the parameter fields and labels I have made changes to, but when I run as web report it is taking the parameter fields and labels that report builder tool has. I am frustrated and do not understand, everything working fine with one report is not working with the other. Is that a bug? or am I missing something? Please help. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance,
Raju

Thanks Philipp for the response. Yes I verified whether server picking the changes. That's how I found its only picking from the parameter form builder. Whatever changes I made to the actual parameter form I was not seeing. But I was seeing whatever changes I made in the parameter form builder. I do not want to use parameter form builder wizard. It's kind of weird and that's why I do not see logic behind what's going on? I am wondering is it a bug in the reports developer tool. I am using oracle reports6i (Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3).
Thanks,
Raju
