Set_report_object_property

I have included a rdf file as a part of a form. now I am trying to call that report . but before doing so I have to set certain user defined parameters for that report. I basically have two user defined parameters . so I am using the set_report_object_parameter to set the property for REPORT_OTHER.
My question is how do you set this property for more than one user_defined parameter to that report.This is the help I get in the form builder
FUNCTION GET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY
(report_id REPORT_OBJECT,
property NUMBER
FUNCTION GET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY
(report_name VARCHAR2,
property NUMBER
Built-in Type unrestricted procedure
Enter Query Mode yes
Parameters
report_id Specifies the unique ID of the report. You can get the report ID for a particular report using FIND_REPORT_OBJECT .
report_name Specifies the unique name of the report.
property One of the following constants:
REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE: Returns a string value of the report execution mode, either BATCH or RUNTIME
REPORT_COMM_MODE: Returns a string value of the report communication mode, either SYNCHRONOUS or ASYNCHRONOUS
REPORT_DESTYPE: Returns a string value of the report destination type, either PREVIEW, FILE, PRINTER, MAIL, CACHE or SCREEN
REPORT_FILENAME: Returns a string value of the report filename
REPORT_SOURCE_BLOCK: Returns a string value of the report source block name
REPORT_QUERY_NAME: Returns a string value of the report query name
REPORT_DESNAME: Returns a string value of the report destination name
REPORT_DESFORMAT: Returns a string value of the report destination format
REPORT_SERVER: Returns a string value of the report server name
REPORT_OTHER: Returns a string value of the other user-specified report properties
It is working okay for one paramaeter but
HOW DO I SET FOR MORE THAN ONE USER DEFINED REPORT_PARAMAETER ???
Thanks
aruna

I am currently using that. But somehow that seems to give me REP 0999 error when I am using generate to file delimited or html option. Now this is happening when I have break groups in my report, oterwise it is working fine.
Any help regarding this

I think that it would be better for
you to see RUN_PRODUCT built-in in Forms help. You will see using of a parameter list (Parameters of type DATA_PARAMETER are pointers to record groups in Form Builder) there.
I hope this will help you.

Strange behaviour in SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY

Hi,
I need to run a report from a Form.
The Report Parameter are stored in a table and with this parameters I want to set the report properties
Now if I use this statement (this is an example):
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(rep_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT, MYTABLE.REP_DESFORMAT);the property is set correctly.
But If I use this code:
DECLARE PR$Format VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
SELECT REPORT_DESFORMAT
INTO PR$Format
FROM MYTABLE
WHERE ........
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(rep_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT, PR$Format);
END;the parameter is not set.
And so for the others parameters. I do not understand this curious behaviour.
Can anyone help me ?
Greetings...
Gaetano

Try this,
v_param:='paramform=no p_func=' || AddQuote(:control.func_name);
FUNCTION AddQuote(cText VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
BEGIN
RETURN (CHR(39) || cText || CHR(39));
END;

can anybody tell me why?
Oracle reports team help me
Thanks

Hi herbe
If you are Reports 6i, you need to apply the sqlnet patches to resolve this issue. The patch details are:
1. Sqlnet One-off 8.0.6.3 1554201 available on Solaris
2. Sqlnet one-off 8.0.6.3 1554201 for Sun SPARC Solaris
On Metalink, you can find the one-off for other platforms for this respective fix.
Thanks

Report_other parameter in set_report_object_property

Hi everyone,
I am having trouble passing values from a form to a report. I need to pass a value to report for report_other parameter.
- p_func is a user parameter in the report.
- :control.func_name is the block and item name in the form.
The report works fine if I pass the value as a constant like this
v_param:='paramform=no p_func=' Air Service';
However, if I pass the value from an item in forms block... like this
v_param:='paramform=no p_func=' ||:control.func_name||' ';
I get this error from reports
"REP-0788: Warning: The value of restricted LOV parameter P_FUNC is not among the selectable values."
Thanks in advance for your help.

Try this,
v_param:='paramform=no p_func=' || AddQuote(:control.func_name);
FUNCTION AddQuote(cText VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
BEGIN
RETURN (CHR(39) || cText || CHR(39));
END;

Run_report_object is not working

Hi everyone
I am trying to convert my 6i reports into 9i.
I have added into a report object node in my form all necessary objects. In procedure i call run_report_object and got error 'REP-0503 You did not specify the name of the report' .
Here is my code(obviousely i am missing something)
report_id Report_Object;
report_job_id VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
v_report_module := v_report_path || v_report_file_name;
report_id := find_report_object(v_report_file_name);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,PREVIEW);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_FILENAME,v_report_file_name);
set_report_object_property(report_id, report_other, 'paramform=no');
report_job_id := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT
(report_id, pl_id) ;
END;
Thanks everyone in advance

You have to specify a report object name in your Forms module and you pass in that name as a parameter to find_report_object function call.

Then after compilation i click the button send. Then i got the message as
Mail has been sent to [email protected].
But i didn't receive any mail.
then i check the report job id. It was showing job was successful .
And i check whether the test.xml file was created or not. It has created the test.xml file as below:
<destinations>
<mail id="ex1"
from="&P_FROM"

</body>
<foreach>
<attach format="pdf" name="report.pdf" srcType="report" instance="all">
<include src="mainSection"/>
</attach>
</foreach>
</mail>
</destinations>
I have 2 machines having dev 10g. one machine is working fine with this code. but in my machine it was not working.
Do any one of you had a solution for my case.
Thanks in advance.

Print html report

Hi ,
In oracle forms 11g, I have a text field that includes html tags.
I crate a report in report builder 11g, selecting html text from database.
When I run the report using the
     set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, CACHE);
     set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ........
It gives me the html page ok.
When I send the report to printer it prints also the html tags e.g. <body> <b>my text ..........<b> </body>.

Can anyone help ?

Hello,
I think that you need to configure your browser, can you take a look a this article:
http://www.maxi-pedia.com/scripts+are+usually+safe+do+you+want+to+allow+scripts+to+run
Regards,
Nacer M. | Certified LabVIEW Architecte

Can you open a report in Excel/Word desktop instead of the web pugin?

using run_report_object( and web.show_document,
how or can you get a report to open in the desktop/full version of MS Excel/Word instead of the web plugin versions?
I can get the browser to open a report in pdf with my desktop adobe reader, but not with an rtf or xml/delimited desformat.
Currently I don't pass a mimetype when opening as a pdf, but I do pass one in the url when i am destypes of xml, delimited and rtf,
as this is the only way i have found out how to open the reports in word/excel.
I'm in the process of upgrading from forms 6 client/server to 10g developer suite, so this is my try with a web based system.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or where I should look.
Below I listed my code from a procedure.
the first part of the procedure is alot of converting, but if you skip down to the part between the 2 sets of double lines this fairly standard.

show_user_alert('ERROR : ' || v_errorcode || ' = ' || v_errortext, null);
end;
end;

What you could try is downloading the report to the client pc using WEBUTIL_FILETRANSFER.URL_TO_CLIENT, then open the locally save file using something like:
CLIENT_HOST('cmd /c rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "localfilename"');

Can't run report in ASYNCHRONOUS mode

Hi All,
I'm trying to make a report run in ASYNCHRONOUS mode. I want to press a button on a form, submit the report to the reports server and be able to navigate within the form while the report is being executed on the reports server.
My problem is, no matter what mode I choose (ASYNCHRONOUS or SYNCHRONOUS), the mode ALWAYS ends up being SYNCHRONOUS. After I press the button (code below), I get the hourglass and I can't navigate within the form until the report is finished. Then I can view it.
The reports server I'm using is installed locally on the same PC I'm testing the form.
Can someone help me please? I'm using using Forms Builder 9.0.2.9.0.
Thank you,
Artur

Arthur,
Communication mode is soemthing forms handles when calling the run report object. Your code looks fine. You might get a quikc answer if you can post this in Forms mailing list

Steve,
can you check the Reports cache directory if the Reports file got created? I would assume yes, but better check.

Error running 9i reports from forms.

Hi folks,
i am having problems running 9i reports from a form.
i have installed Oracle 9iDS on a Win XP machine with 256 MB RAM and a Pentium 1.4Ghz processor.
i also have a local Oracle 9i database. i have created several reports that i am trying to run from some forms but all efforts to date have failed.
below is some sample code.
declare
v_rid report_object;
v_rjob varchar2(100);
v_rptstatus varchar2(100);
v_jobid varchar2(100);
BEGIN
/*get handle to report object itself*/
v_rid := find_report_object('pbranchlist');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'htmlcss');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_DESTYPE,'CACHE');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_SERVER,'repsrv');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,synchronous);
v_rjob := run_report_object(v_rid);
v_rptstatus := report_object_status(v_rjob);
while v_rptstatus in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') loop
     v_rptstatus := report_object_status(v_rjob);
     message(v_rptstatus);
end loop;
if v_rptstatus = 'FINISHED' then
     /*display report in browser*/
--      web.show_document('http://steve:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
--      substr(v_rptsvrjob,instr(v_rptsvrjob,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
web.show_document('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rjob,instr(v_rjob,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
else
     message('error running Report');
end if;
end;
pbranchlist is defined in the form,
repsrv is a report server i installed and explicitly started.
on clicking the button to run the above code, i get a message on the browser status bar as follows
opening http://steve:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid11?server=repsrv...
that's it. it stays like that forever and a progress bar showing the status of the operation gets to the halfway mark and stays there for up to 15 minutes.
I eventually halted the operation by clicking the stop button of the browser. The form then becomes totally non-responsive with the mouse indicator changing to the hour-glass shape and a small vertical bar moving rapidly back and forth at the bottom of the form window.
My only recourse then is to explicitly close the browser window.
I have already configured Reports to run in non single sign-on mode by setting SINGLESIGNON=NO in the rwservlet.properties file.
Is there anything i have not done properly?
Thanks in advance.

Steve,

Hi,
You need to bulid a parameter list.
This is a code sample to run a report from Forms:
(Place it on a button when-button-pressed trigger, to run the report).
DECLARE
     repid REPORT_OBJECT;
     v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
     rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
-- this is the parameter list
     pl_id ParamList;
pl_name VARCHAR2(10) := 'tempdata';
BEGIN
-- try to find the parameter list
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List(pl_name);
          IF Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
               -- if parameter lsit does not exist
               -- create it
          pl_id := Create_Parameter_List(pl_name);
          IF Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
          Message('Error creating parameter list '||pl_name);
          RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
          END IF;
          ELSE
          Message('Parameter list '||pl_name||' already exists!');
          -- destroy it to clear old parameters
          -- and create it again;
          destroy_parameter_list(pl_id);
          pl_id := Create_Parameter_List(pl_name);
          END IF;
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'p_customer_name',TEXT_PARAMETER,:customer.cust_name);
-- add as many parameters as needed
-- finally run the report passing your parameter list
     repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('report4');
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid, pl_id);
               Exception
                    when others then
                    Message('Error running report. '||sqlerrm, acknowledge);
END;
Also, you need to create the parameter in your report:
1.- Open your report on reports builder.
2.- Find the "Data Model" node, and the "User parameters" node.
3.- Create a parameter: p_customer_name
4.- Modify your sql from:
Select * from S_customer
TO:
Select * from S_customer
where Customer_Name=:p_customer_name;
If you want this parameter to be optional, check the reports online help on "Lexical References".
Have fun,
Hugo
