Workflows : Unable to call a report from a Default Method of Business Objec

Hi,
Good afternoon.
Well, we had a requirement where a Business Object's Default method should call a report which in turn calls a User Defined Screen(Call Screen 100 say...) which had a Text Control with one OK button.
In this requirement, I had created a method with all the above functionality and then tested the BUSINESS OBJECT accordingly. Well, when Testing the BO directly, I am able to get my REQUIREMENT satisfied like the METHOD is working PERFECT as per the requirement.
Now I made it as an DEFAULT METHOD and used the same BO for a workflow. And that Workflow gets triggered with an Event within that BO. So the instance of this BO is coming to the Workflow.
Now, I created a new Decision step and copied the standard step's task into a new Standard task. And I included this task for my new DECISION STEP. In this standard task , I had created a CONTAINER Varaible for my BO.And in my WORKFLOW, I had passed the instance of my BO in the BINDING PART of this Decision Step.
Now, my objects and Attachments part had an HYPERLINK, but it is not executing the needed method. Why is it so?
Do we had any limitation for this?
Shouldn't we call any report which calls a user defined screen from a method ?
Is there any way for solving the above problem?
Like I want to display a TEXT CONTROL which takes COMMENTS from the Approver during the WORK ITEM PREVIEW before APPROVAL / REJECTION and this INPUT must also be shown in WORK ITEM PREVIEW in the next level.
Someone please help me.
Regards,
Raja Sekhar

Hi Raja,
Well it is not yet afternoon for me. In fact the work day just about started
Have you tried debugging it? Put a break point in your default method and click on the object link from the inbox and see if your method is getting executed and if it is you may find what the problem is.
Also, have you tried with a different default method like a display method and checked if it works?
Thanks,
Ramki Maley.

Unable to call a form from drill-down report

hello
i have a drill-down report, from where i wanna to call a transacation level form, so that user can modify the data from that transaction level form after seeing the result from report. After modification in data through form, report should be refreshed automatically.
i am using form6i, can't user dde.app_begin because it starts a new session

Hi,
if this is for Forms on the web, just call the Reports from web.show_document() when closing the Forms (assuming you close the Forms after the update).
If it is on client/server then you don't have a hook into Reports except you run a new Reports from Forms and close the Reports that called the Forms application (needs to be done within this Report)

Calling a report from forms

Hello
i have a problem with calling a report from a form.
i use the following statement in the when-button-pressed trigger:
Run_Product(REPORTS, report.rdf',ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, '', null);
in the reports background engine i get the error
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'report.rdf'.
REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'report.rdf'.
End report report [Mon Nov 25 12:30:40 2002].
the file report.rdf is in the same folder as the form calling it
where is the problem
thanks
Marjan

Hi Marjan,
The problem seems to be that the report is not in a directory
listed in the reports60_path. Add the directory into your reports60_path
and check if it solves the problem.

Problem calling a report from Forms

Hi,
I am currently trying to upgrade our Forms and Reports from 6.0 to 10g. I created a simple form and a simple report and I called the report from the form (passing no parameters) and report was generated fine. Now I'm looking at one of our existing forms and I've complied them in 10g. This time I'm passing a parameter and the report is failing. If I run the report on its own with the same parameter it works fine. I am using the Run_report_object builtin.
The error I get is the 41214:Unable to run report. The weird thing about this is if I pass in a bogus parameter (not valid in the database), the report will execute fine and I will get a page saying that No Data was Found (text displays when nothing was returned from the query). However, whenever I pass in a good parameter (Data should be returned), the report do not execute and I get the error. So, I updated the database to have the bogus parameter and then when I passed in the bogus parameter again, this time it failed. So it looks like that when data is coming back from the query in the report, I get the error. I'm connected to the same database that was used in the simple example stated above that returned data.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Let me know if more information is needed.
Thanks,
Karen

You can check the reports queue for error messages to see what the error actually is.

Calling a report from a form based on procedure

I created a form based on a procedure.
It is a entry form where the user is selecting or enters data then on submit I must display the report based on selected data.
I know I can simply create a report with all bind variable and do the job.
My question is what is the syntax to call the report from the procedure for the selected parameters values.
Thanks
Lawrence

If you want to display other HTML page after successful submission, you need to use
either go or call method.
I created a form on SCOTT.EMP and a report on SCOTT.EMP and the report accept a parameter for
the deptno. Here is my on successfull submission code:
declare
l_dept number;
l_url varchar2(2000);
begin
l_dept := p_session.get_value_as_number('DEFAULT', 'A_DEPTNO', 1);
l_url := 'scott.rpt_mask_1.show?p_arg_names=emp.deptno&p_arg_values='| |l_dept;
go(l_url);
end;

Call Oracle Reports from Forms ver 9i or 10g

Hi,
Can somebody guide me, how to call Oracle Reports from the Oracle form 9i,
Run_product is no more available into 9i & 10g, Run_report_object is not working with out put type "Screen" or "preview".
What is the best way to call the reports from the form ??? pls help...
Thanks in avdance.
Jitesh ([email protected])

You can use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT with CACHE type, and WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to view the document on the screen.
In the Forms help you should find examples.
If you have access to Metalink, have a look at Note:207396.1.

How to call a report from a menu ?

I am converting 6i client/server forms to 9i.
I have a menu that has an option on it to run a report for each menu item selected using RUN_PRODUCT.
9i is making this obsolete, so how can I call a report from a menu (not a form) now then ?
In a form it is fine cos I just use the Report Object - a menu does not have this facility.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
so here is how this should be done:
1. Create a Reports node in the Forms module that uses the menu (you don't have to create one Reports Object for each report that you want to run)
2. From the menu, before calling Run_Report_Object() use Set_Report_Object_Property() to set the phsical file name of the Reports that should be executed. This is kind of best practice and does not have a performance hit.
There is a bug filed against Forms to extend the menu files with a reports Object node. This could require a change to teh file structure which is why we looking for Forms 10i to implement this. (If it turns out that we can have it without recompiling the menu modules then it may go into a patch set - however this seems unlikely from my point of view)
