Auto print Oracle report through call to PL/SQL

I have been tasked with finding a way to generate an Oracle report from a java servlet. Basically they want to pass in parameters to a PL/SQL procedure and have it automatically print out, without user interaction.
Can this be done?
Jeff

I am in a similar situation and have reached a bit of an impass. I am creating the report by means of passing a dynamically created URL from WebDB to the Report Server.
I have created a procedure to do various things and was planning on calling the report via the procedure using
OWA_UTIL.redirect_url depending on the params
that the user entered. Does the UTL_HTTP work in the same means as the aforementioned? Or are they the same thing?
Regards and thanks,

Auto-print oracle report

hi all...
i created a batch file to auto-print an oracle report upon executing the batch file.
the report is successfully printed upon clicking on the batch file or by executing it in ms-dos environment on the server but it is not printed out when i execute the batch file by calling it from a visual basic program, instead i encounter a report error, REP-3002(Error initializing a printer).
please take note that the batch file is located in a windows 2000 server and a printer is already installed on the server.
The batch file has the following code:-
D:\ORACLE\DEV6i\BIN\RWRUN60.EXE REPORT=D:\SIMPLE\PROGRAMS\FWR_DISCREPANCY_LIST.REP USERID =WMS/WMS@ORCL p_ware_id=%1 p_arrival_no=%2 PARAMFORM =NO DESTYPE =PRINTER DESFORMAT=dflt TRACEFILE =C:\TRACE.LOG PRINTJOB =NO
please help...
i am not sure why it is not able to print out the report upon calling/executing the batch file from visual basic...

Calling Oracle Report through AQ

Does anybody know how to invoke an Oracle Report using Advanced Queuing?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Darryl,
I believe you can invoke PL/SQL in Oracle Reports. If so, invoke AQ PL/SQL procedures from Oracle reports.
Thanks,

Thank you so much for your help. I used event driven pulishing and needed to install SRW package on my infra database and it is working good now.
One thing I am struggling with sending pdf reports to another server. I could create a pdf at runtime, but needed to send to another server for storage. I could set up the desname parameter to store the pdf in the same report server by using the following code
PORTAL.srw.add_parameter(myPlist, 'DESNAME', 'c:\Report\abcd');
but to store in a different server I don't know how to do that. Any help would be appreciated

Dr watson error while printing Oracle reports 6.0.5.28.0

Hi All:
I am getting this problem when I was trying to print from the perview mode of Oracle Reports(6.0.5.28.0) on Windows NT Client machine. We are using Network printer which is on Windows 2000 Server. Can you hyelp me resolve this problem.

The first thing you should do would be to get onto a supported version. We've done a lot of work in the printing area in the 6.0.8 (6i) release, particularly in the latest patch set.
If this doesn't help then you should download the drivertest utility (http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/reports/files/printerdrivertest.zip) and follow the instructions to test the driver. Then work with support to get a bug filed.

Printing Oracle Report.

I have a problem printing an Oracle report on a dot matrix
printer.
I have the report set to print in character mode
with the width and height of the report set to 132,31
respectivley and the width and height of paper
set to 7.25,11 each.
The problem is:
when I print my report it still prints on a whole A4 page.
isn't it supposed to stop printing somewhere on half of the A4?
I hope you can help me figure out the matter.

Hi Prabodh,
I have used Debug mode and I see 2 debug entries added.
The first is just displaying all the page defaults - (I think the page gets reloaded when you select debug from the developer menu)
The second is the SUBMIT request and it shows the initial value of the hidden item (ie null) and then where I changed its value (ie Y).
The problem is, it does not list an entry for the page when it returns from the Report Status page, so I have no way of knowing if anything is
changing its value. I even changed code to set the item to N instead of null and then to Y on submit. But when I return from the Status page
the value remains at N, even though if I check the Session State values it will say Y. The only conclusion I can come to is that it is using the
cached values and effectively just displaying the values set before I submit the page.
I have been playing around with iFrames and it seems to work the way I want.
I created a new Page (5), then a HTML region. Within the HTML region i have the following code
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<iframe src="&P1_URL." width="500" height="300"></iframe>
</td>
</tr>
</table>I also create a button (Return) + branch and on submit will return to page 1.
From page 1, instead of branching to a URL, I now branch to page 5. This loads the Report Status page into my iFrame and indicates that it was
successful, but now instead of using the OK button within the status page I use the Return button that is part of the Apex application.
This way I no longer need the javascript or hidden items to try refresh the page , it will be done automagically once the return button is pressed.
I know it may not look great but it is the only solution I can get to work at the moment.
Thanks again for all your help, I really appreciated it.

Ryan

Printing oracle report from oracle forms

At our place, our clinet machines are upgraded to IE8 (Internet explorer 8), and some users are having probelms when they print pdf reports from IE8. If they save pdf report on computer and use adobe acrobat reader, then they can print, but when they hit print button on the IE8 they are unable to rpint.
Please advise why some users cannot print pdf reports from IE8. Thanks

Hi,
has anyone managed to resolve this yet?
seems as though some sort of impersonation mechanism is necessary for the machine running the reports server to identify to the printer as the client username running the report..
i do know it's possible to pass to the rep server a parameter called "authid",
so if for example i run the following -
http://<server>/reports/rwservlet?report=test.rdf&authid=rsorero&userid=bla/bla@bla&server=repsrv&destype=PRINTER&desname=\\printsrv1\myprinter1&desformat=PDF
then in the report server queue (showjobs) i get the owner as "rsorero" instead of "ANONYMOUS"..
but that doesn't translate to an OS user on the server side, and the print is still owned by [server]$..
any insights?

Page reload/refresh after printing Oracle report.

I have upgraded from version 3.0.1 to version 4.0.1 and I am having an issue.
I have a page with a tabular form (SQL Query - updateable report) which allows me
to select items I want to print.
The report looks like the following:
Name          Print
Template 1     Y/N
Template 2     Y/N
Template 3     Y/N
Template 4     Y/N
The print column is a static LOV with a 'Y' or 'N' option.When I submit the page, a MRU runs and sets a flag for each item I want to print in the database.
It then branches using "Branch to URL Identified by Item (Use Item Name)". The URL specifies an Oracle report
server and the oracle report to print.
All this works fine and the items that were selected, print out. An Oracle Reports Job Status is displayed
on screen (this originates from the oracle report server) to indicate that it has "successfully run" along with
an OK button. The OK button contains the following code: javascript:history.back()
A process also exists on the page ("On Load - Before Regions") that resets any flags that were set in the database
when the page is loaded and so the report will displays all N's in the Print column.
Now my problem is that in version 3.0.1 when I hit the OK button it would return to the page in the apex
application that branched to the oracle report and the page would be reloaded, where as in version 4.0.1
the page is not reloaded.
Any ideas how to fix this or can someone suggest a new way of achieving the same result.
Any help would be appreciated.

Ryan

Printing Oracle Reports with values obtained from file using IO

Hi All,
We have decided to change the report writer tool from Brio SQR to Oracle Reports 6i. The design using Brio SQR was such that we used to populate all the values to be printed in a text file and then we use to populate the values in the BRIO reports using this file as an input.
We don't want to make many changes to the design at this stage. Can anybody suggest how can we use the text file as input to populate the different fields in the Oracle Reports.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Milind

Hi Miliand
Text Datasoucre is a Reports 9i feature. You can get the information on the feature overview at
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/content.html.
You will find the complete 9I Reports reference manuals on OTN soon

Invoke oracle report 10g from database pl/sql package

Hi
Is there a way that i can invoke an oracle report 10g from the database pl/sql package? I am working on a requirement that needs to generate a report when one of the criteria is not met.
Please suggest me on this.

Thanks for the info.
I have a scenario where i need to fetch members details like name , email address and so on from the mainframes on the oracle database. Then on the oracle database i need to check if they have a email address or not. If yes then i need to generate a notice and mail it to them. If they don't have an email address, i'll have to print that out in a some centralized location.
By the way, the notice was developed using oracle reports 10g.
Now i am developing a pl/sql package which will do the address validation but i didn't know how to call a oracle report to generate the notice in pl/sql procedure.
As suggested i will try with dbms scheduler and see if that works for me.
