Report Status using web.show_document

Hi all.
I am using the web.show_document for running my report - using distribution xml file and mail.
I want to insert a record in a table if the report generation succeeds.
From Oracle Documentation I can see that I cannot get the report status in the form when it is run using web.show_document.
And for distribution I cannot use run_report_object.
Any workaround for this?
Thanks in advance
Anu.

Dear Mr. hisham,
Thanks For your Post,
Actually i have the same issue, but it want to kill a running report in the report server by clicking such a button that have already the jobID.
whithout opening the reportserver page so that no body see any other reports running.
like in this example:
Declare
L_URL Varchar2(1000);
Begin
L_URL := :apps_server||'/reports/rwservlet/Killjobid'||:JOB_ID||'?'||'server='||:report_server;
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:window.open('||l_URL||');self.close()','_blank') ;
End;
Is it posible to do that, If so how can do it. and do i have to do any settin someware on the server like formsweb.cfg or reportserver.cnf.
thanks in advance.

Issue while generating report using web.show_document with https

Hi All,
I am facing some issue while seeing the report using web.show_document as shown below:
https://ucrmskr.apac.nsroot.net:10301/forms/html/001725032_gca.rtf_
In this case the report opens directly without asking for me to save or open or cancel option
whereas if I hit
http://scrmskr.apac.nsroot.net:7801/forms/html/001725032_gca.rtf_
it asks for save or open or cancel option
so that I can save the report to my machine and open in wordpad format
The report generated in the first case is not coming in proper format
Below are my forms.conf mappings:
# Name
# forms.conf - Forms component Apache directives configuration file.
# Purpose
# It should include the weblogic managed server (routing) directives for
# the servers where Forms applications are deployed and other miscellaneous
# Forms component OHS directives.
# Remarks
# This file is included with the OHS configuration under
# $OI/config/OHS/<OHS Node Name>/moduleconf sub-directory.
# virtual mapping for the /forms/html mapping.

Browser Time out in Reports (using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to call reports)

When running a big report which takes a long time to run, it finishes on the report server but in the browser the screen is stuck at the parameter form, you don't see the report output. It's as if the browser has timedout. Is there a solution to this?
I am running reports using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT only - through a URL. This seems to be a huge drawback of using this method.

Is the browser launching?
If it is have you tried a show source on the browser window?
Sometimes if you open an XML file in a browser you get a blank page but the XML is there. Something to do with the XML format I think. I'm no expert on XML just a behaviour I have observed.

Error opening report using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT

Hi
I have a report in pdf format that opens ok by itself. When I use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT in the when_mouse_click trigger on the item in the form the report doesnt display. Only an IE window with "The page cannot be displayed" message.
Here is the trigger code:
Web.show_document(http://nbotlaguduru.dms.local/export/||FMSLaborChargesalcs20060829132645.pdf)
where FMSLaborChargesalcs20060829132645.pdf is the name of the report I am trying to open.
Here is the URL that appears in the second window that opens:
http://nbotlaguduru.dms.local/export/FMSLaborChargesalcs20060829132645.pdf
this url generates the error message "The page cannot be displayed"
I am using Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2
ORACLE Server Release 10.1.0.4.2

Launching a new form using web.show_document

Using 9iAS 9.0.2.1.1. and Forms9i I'm trying to get a form to launch a new browser window and open a new form in it. At present I'm using web.show_document to do this. However, I get an error message stating that 'Connection from new browser window is not supported'. From an earlier thread in this forum I found a possible solution which is to set the session.useCookies to false in the zone.properties, which I have done, but I'm still getting the same error. I've tried restarting the OC4J_BI_Forms OC4J and the HTTP server, but nothing makes any difference. Am I missing something?

If you are attempting to print a report from a when-button-pressed trigger from within a form, you do not have to explicitly specify the server (hostname) nor the port. You can just use what I've found referred to as a virtual path to the server as I have done here:
parm_string := '/reports/rwservlet?config=my_config&report=report_name'
     ||'&desformat=pdf&destype=cache'
     ||'&paramform=no&printjob=no'
     ||'&p_my_user_param1='||v_my_param1
     ||'&p_my_user_param2='||v_my_param2;
web.show_document(parm_string,'_blank');
You can specify a userid/password@connectstring within a named congifuration section of your formsweb.cfg file if necessary, e.g. my_config.
Hope this helps.

Problem when using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT and passing in lexical parameter

Hi,
I got a blank page with error "An error has occured while trying to use this document" when I tried to use web.show_document and passing a lexical parameter to 10g report on 10gAS. The URL in the web.show_document is:
http://<srvname>:<portnum>/reports/rwservlet?server=repserver90&report=myrpt.rdf&destype=Cache&desformat=pdf&userid=<usr>/<pw>@<db>&where_clause=where%20product_type%20in%20('REPORT')
If I change the desformat to htmlcss, it is fine to display the report. But doesn't work with desformat=pdf. The pdf file has been generated in the cache. Why can't it display on the screen.
Also I tried to use double quote the value for where_clause. The pdf report showed up. But it ignored the where clause.
Experts please help.
Ying

I use lexical parameters and they work fine, but I use a parameter list. The code is contained in a form that is called by all forms that wish to run a report. This way you only need the logic for printing in a single form. If you want the form, email me at [email protected]

Hide Explorer window called using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT()

I've created a JSP which creates and saves a PDF into the database. I call this JSP using web.show_document as a result of which an explorer window is opened,which is not what I want. I want to use the JSP functionality in the background not making the user aware of this. I've tried the following :
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('javascript:void(window.open("'||URL||'","","location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,resizable=yes"))','_blank');
But the PDF does not get saved into the database using this call.
Help would be appreciated...

Does the pdf gets saved when you paste the same url into a browser-window "by hand" ?
If you don't want to show the url you could create a java-class which just opens a http-connection, import it using the Java-Importer and call it on the application-server

To access pdf files from application server using web.show_document

Hello!
If my pdf file is copied in Oracle_home/forms90/java directory.Then using web.show_document i can access the pdf file.But I can't copy all the pdf files in /forms90/java directory.We have lacs of pdf files which I want to keep in my own directory.But my requirement is if my pdf file is in /home2/docs directory in (Linux application server) ie in my own directory where I store all the pdf files.Then web.show_document does not open the pdf file.It says page cannot be displayed.For that I think we have to configure the directory /home2/docs directory as a webserver.From otn I got something like forms90.conf file in application server where we have to set virtual directory mapping etc.If the pdf is in local machine then in orion-web.xml file we have to mention real path and save the file and shutdown oc4j instance and restart it again.I tried it.But it is not working.Can u give me step by step instructions to solve this problem.I found a few links in discussion forum.But is doesn't work out.My pdf file is in /home2/docs directory in Linux application server.Please treat it as urgent.

Hi Sandeepmsandy,
There is no available code sample for this scenario. You may write your own.
Step 1: Get pdf URL from sqlite database. Please refer to the following MSDN blog and see a code sample.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertgreen/archive/2012/11/13/using-sqlite-in-windows-store-apps.aspx. Note, you need to retarget the project to 8.1 and then get two sqlite packages from NuGet before building this sample.
Step 2: Use some special classes to get file from serer.
HttpWebRequest can help download small pdf files. For more information to see
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/de96a61c-e089-4595-8349-612be5d23ee6/download-file-with-httpwebrequest?forum=winappswithcsharp. It’s easy for use, but if you want to download the larger or many files, it’s recommend to use
BackgroundTransfer namespace. The classes in this namespace provide a power way to transfer files in the background. See a code sample from MSND.

Report that uses web services as data source, prompts for database logon

I have a crystal report that uses web services as a data source. When I deploy the report to Infoview it prompts me for a database username and password. Since I am not using a database it should not prompt me for these. I tried various options in the CMC->database settings for this report but it still prompts me for the database logon info or tells me that the database logon information is incorrect.
The report work fine in the Crystal Reports Designer.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this report from prompting me for the database logon info ?
Thanks,

What options have you tried in the CMC?
Have you tried running the report in Crystal Reports installed directly on the Enterprise machine?

Showing tiff files using web.show_document

Hello,
I want to show tiff files using web.show_document. Tiff files cannot be displayed in a browser, however therr are several plug-ins available to show them.
Can anyone recommend a plugin to display tiff files in a browser?
Kind Regards Erik

We had tried a different approach. We store all type of documents in the database using webutil.
And we dont directly open any document and we download the document to the local host and then open it using webutil client host ('local folder\file name')
This way word,excel, pdf etc will be automatically opened with its relevant appln and if there is relevant appln is not found it will prompt the windows standard Open with dialog box.

Kill last reports job with web.show_documents ?

Hi,
I call the Reports service for creating PDF - reports from a Forms modul ,
after creating the report I kill this last Report-job with web.show_document but get the xml response in a new browser window.
Is there another method to send the Report request from Forms without opening this second browser window incl. response data ?
(e.g. a atomic security bundle: Show report result & kill the job ..)
Many thanks
F.
