Passing parameters from report to form

Hello,
I have a report based on a View with all the details of only one record. I whant to link this report with a form in insert mode, passing some of the fields as parameters.
Anyone konws how to do it?

Jan,
Thanks for the succinct reply! I've been trying to 2 days to solve this problem. Whew!

Unfortunately linking reports and forms in insert mode is not completely tackled in the faq.
For a long time Oracle Customer Support and I were not able to get the form in insert-mode. My forms kept on appearing in query-mode, so when I passed values from the report to the form, the form queried records based on the parameters passed through from the report. While I wanted these parameters filled in as default values.
The solution is almost too easy to imagine. When you define the link-parameters in the report definition, you should leave the EQUAL-sign blank. On metalink you can read TAR 1258704.996 and bug 1696340 for more info.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Passing parameters from report to form portlet

I am trying to link data in a report to a form. Here's the gist: I click on a record in the report and the data is passed to a form in update mode. The problem is that when I click on the record the data is not passed right away to the form. Only after clicking the record again or refreshing the page does the data get passed. Any ideas? I'm sure it's something very simple that I'm missing. Here's the code below:
report code:
select 'http://jvic9/pls/portal30/portal30.empcust.set_context_refresh?p_context=EMPNO&p_context_value='||empno||'&p_page=reportform">'||empno||'' empno_link, empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, sal, comm, deptno
from scott.emp
set_context_refresh procedure:
procedure set_context_refresh
p_context in varchar2,
p_context_value in varchar2,
p_page in varchar2)
is
v_Session portal30.wwsto_api_session;
begin
v_Session := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session('CONTEXT','SESS_EMP');
v_Session.set_attribute(p_context, p_context_value);
v_Session.save_session;
owa_util.redirect_url('http://jvic9/pls/portal30/url/page/'||p_page); end set_context_refresh;
form code:
/* ... before displaying the page section */
portal30.empcust.autoquery_emp_form(p_session);
autoquery_emp_form procedure:
procedure autoquery_emp_form
p_session in out portal30.wwa_api_module_session
is
v_RowID varchar2(100);
v_Session portal30.wwsto_api_session;
v_empno varchar2(40);
begin
v_Session := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session('CONTEXT','SESS_EMP');
v_empno := v_Session.get_attribute_as_varchar2('EMPNO');
begin
select rowidtochar(rowid) into v_rowid
from scott.emp
where empno = v_empno;
end;
p_session.set_value(p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',p_attribute_name=>'_CALLED_FROM_LINK',p_value=>'ROWID');
p_session.set_value(p_block_name=>'DEFAULT',p_attribute_name=>'_ROWID',p_value=>v_rowid);
portal30.wwa_api_module_event.do_event('DEFAULT','QUERY_BOTTOM',1,'ON_CLICK',True,'',p_session);
p_session.save_session;
end autoquery_emp_form;

Your code seems to be OK.
The problem of the data not appearing when you do the query manually (i.e through an API call), is a bug and has been fixed in patch 3.0.9.8.3.

How can I pass parameter from report to form?

Hi :)
Now I try to build conference room like this by using form
and report. And i design that when users click at group report
then i'll show page that contain questions report and add
question form. And question form and report must receive the
same parameter from group report.
First Problem: is I don't know how group report send the
same parameter to question report and add question report at the
same time. And is it possible??? If not please suggest me what
should I do???
Second Problem: is I don't know how can I pass parameter from
report to form. I don't know the way to do it.
Please tell me!!! Please...
I look forward to hearing from all of you.
Thank You.

One way is to create a link based on that form and attach that
link with the report. Through links you can pass parameters

Passing parameters from report to new page with portlets.

Hello everyone:
I have a plsql report portlet on a page that has a column that I would like to pass as a parameter to a new page to populate more portlets. I tried setting up a link but I can't seem to get the value in the column to pass as the parameter. I am a novice when it comes to developing portlets.
Thanks in advance!

The link is the way to go (at first). You have to create the link first. Then assign this link to the column that you want to the hyperlink to appear on - this assignment happens on the 2nd tab of the report (Column formatting) by choosing the newly created link in the link dropdown. After you have assigned the link to the column you must edit the assigned link where you can then choose the value that must be passed across.
The link approach works fine, but there are limitations. I just do all the links in code these days - so in the report select statement I have <a href....>. This gives more flexibility. Ultimately there is the issue of passing parameters to forms: using links (or hand coded) you can pass parameters to reports (if param is also defined as input param with ":") and also forms, but all you can do with a form is to pass param that can be used to uniqeuly identify one record which is the one that will show in the form. Anything else (e.g. pass a param to prepopulate a field on the form) needs an even more complicated solution (:).
Cheers.
Anton.

Hi John,
              If Not CRRpt.ParameterFields("AgeType") Is Nothing Then
                    CRRpt.ParameterFields("AgeType").CurrentValues.Clear()
                    Dim ParamValue As new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue
                    ParamValue.Value = AgeType.ToString
                    CRRpt.ParameterFields("AgeType").CurrentValues.Add(ParamValue)
                End If
Note that the ParamValue.Value should be assigned with exact same data type as you declared it in CR.
If it is string, Convert your Variable to string first.
If it is date, make sure you are passing a date variable.
and so on...
Regards
Edy

Link Parameters from Report to Form in Insert Mode

It seems like it should be possible to use the Report wizard to add a link to a form, select some link parameters using the Edit Link function, and then when one clicks on the link it would open the form in insert mode with the link parameters filled in as defaults. Instead what happens is it tries to open the form in update mode with a row that matches the link parameters, and if it can't find a match it opens in insert mode with no parameters filled in. I want it to always open in insert mode and with the passed parameters filled in.
I've looked through all the documentation I have access to and have been through all the Portal FAQ's on OTN and can find nothing on this. There were a few questions in the FAQ's that told how to do it in PL/SQL, but I don't know how to get access to which instance of the link was selected by the user through PL/SQL, and it seems like there should be a way to do this from within the report wizard.
Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Jim Bladen

If your report is created using ‘Reports From SQL Query’ then you can modify it using the following to achieve this:
1. Remove the link from ‘Column Formatting’ section of the report object.
2. In the SQL of the report , use custom link to the column where you want to provide link using the syntax
select a.empno,’‘||a.ename||’‘ ename_link,a.deptno
from scott.emp a
Order by a.empno
and the form will always open in ‘INSERT’ mode with passed values filled in.

Passing Parameter from report to form

I have a report, link, and form developed. They all work just fine execpt that when the form comes up it is not linked to he record that it was called from. I have read the links on passing parameters and still do not understand what I have to do.
Here is the basic scenario. I have a report that is a list of account codes for a project. There is a link from the account code to the acount code form where the user can change the status (active/inactive) of the account for a project. If the user clicks on the link for account 1000 thenI would expect that the form opens with account 1000 in update mode.
How do I do it. It seems a very simple concept. What am I missing?

I am obviously missing something. In editing the link, I have a user parameter of atab. This is the column that is linked in the report. What do I use as the default value. Does it make a difference if the table does or does not have an index on the atab? The PK is an ID.
Please help
Jerry

How to pass value from report to form?

Dear,
I built a report and I create button on report too. This
button will show a form that I want it to automatically show
receivable values from report so that user don't complete them.
So I create a button on the report . I enter Javascript in
PL/SQL Code tab in '...after displaying the footer' as follow :
htp.formOpen
(owa_util.get_owa_service_path||'portal30.wwa_app_module.link?
p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=1736929105&p_arg_names=_show_h
eader&p_arg_values=YES&p_arg_names=GNO&p_arg_values=1&p_arg_names
=QNO&p_arg_values=2');
htp.formSubmit(null,'New Answer');
htp.formClose;
GNO , QNO is value which I want to pass
As you can see, the above code can pass only static value.
But I want to pass values that is the condition of this report.
I mean,such as, this report show data that gno=1 and qno=2 and I
want to pass these values to form. So both value will appear in
gno and qno field.
So please tell me what should I do. Please help me. I don't
know how to do it. I look forward to hearing from all of you.
Please!!!!!! Don't hesitate to answer.
Thank you very much

Hi Marc,
Yes, you have it correct in what I am trying to do and if I put a default value in the hidden item on page 2 and run it then that works fine. I just can't get the value from the form passed to page 2 for some reason. There are actually 22 items on the form that can be filtered but just using COREID for simplicity. When I run the form I am just entering a value in the COREID field to try and return those records. Most of the other items on the form are displayed as Popup LOV(fetches first row). Would the values of all these be done the same in a comma delimited list for the items and values? I was trying to get at least one of them working first. Here is the search result that comes up in the debug window:
Search Results
0.01: Item: P2_COREID HIDDEN
0.01: show report
0.02: determine column headings
0.02: parse query as: MOTEAMSAPEX
0.02: binding: ":P2_COREID"="P2_COREID" value=""
0.02: print column headings
0.02: rows loop: 15 row(s)
No data found.
Here is the SQL statement:
select coreid, serialnumber
from MOTEAMS.V_ASSETS where
instr(UPPER("COREID"), UPPER(:P2_COREID)) > 0
The branch settings are:
Set these items: P2_COREID
With these values: &P1_COREID (also tried this with period at the end)
I am new to this and not familiar with apex.oracle.com. How would I go about posting to that site?

How to pass parameters from report to graph

I am trying to call an existing chart from Reports60.
I figured out that only CHAR and NUMBER parameters can be passed. The mychart.ogr executable works fine from command line with parameters passing.
Now I'm trying to pass parameter to Graphic Display, for that I associated Report Column/Parameter with Chart Parameter. (set parameter/column property).
It's not working.. I'm getting Graph for the initial values parameters which are in the chart. Seems like there are no parameter value passing from reports to graph.
Are there any tricks to pass value for the CHAR parameter?
Thanks in advance for the help,
Helen

Passing parameter from reports to form - Urgent

Hi ,
I am calling a report (2.5) from a form using RUN_PRODUCT. I would like to know if there is any way to do the following.
(a) Return a value from reports to calling form. For ex. I would like to know the last Item name (assuming the reports prints all items in inventory) printed. I am sending a from and to numbers of item id's (range) and I need to know the last item printed.
(b). Check the success of report. For example, while printing the 5 items (the range that I passed) if there is any error in printing , this should be tracked either in the form or report. If this is not possible using run_product , If I need to use srw package, how to use it. Can I call the report as usual with run_product and in the after parameter trigger can, I call the report again and track error.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

You have to explain what you want.
Why would you want to start the Forms Builder (Design time tool) from a JSP page? It's about the same as starting JDeveloper or Eclipse from a JSP page.

Passing variables from Report to Form

Hi, I need pass a couple of variables from the REPORT to two fields in the FORM for save in a table. Somebody knows how do I do this?. Any suggestions?
Thanks a lot!
I think that this situation is different that pass variables from FORM to REPORT.

You need to use a Link component to your Form that you then attach to one of the data columns in the Report. When you edit the link in the report, you can specify the fields to pass.

Passing parameters from HTML to forms 9i

I am currently trying to design an application which is called from the web but the application is on forms 9i.
Once the URL is called the user id needs to be entered and then this needs to be passed on to the main form . As I understand it this user id needs to be passed form HTML into the first form on 9i.
Can anyone help me with the way this can be done
Thanks in anticipation

Thanks for all your replies but I still am not sure. Let me expain my problem in a little detail. I have an apps server which connects to the database using an user id and password. This is what is defined in the formsweb.config.
However the users are given non database userids which are authenticated before they connect to the main form. I need to pass this user id to the main form as i use this user id to write into audit columns , the user id password entered in formsweb.config is fine but the one i am looking for is something that I authenticate with before calling the main form which is not the database userid.
All in all when i enter a user id and password on a webpage and click a button when the url to call the mai n form start working as it has the label associated with the .fmx and defined in the formsweb.config and calls the main form so I need to pass that user id to the main form????
Does this give a better idea of my problem???
Many thanks in anticipation
