Back to parameter form when report is executed

Hi
Is it possible to be back to the parameter form when the report is executed?
E.g. 1 - Enter information in the parameter form,
2 - Execute the report
3 - Back to parameter form
4 - ....
5 - When all the reports processed, exit the report.
Thank you all

Don't know if you can do this in reports, but we have a similar requirement on our system, and we developed a form based parameter form, rather than using the reports own. We could then run as many reports as we need from the one parameter form.

Suppressing parameter form when calling report

I use an action button on a Forms module to call a Reports module. This Report has one argument, and the value is provided by the module. When I run the Form and press the button, the parameter form of Reports appears. How can I suppress the parameter Form since the value is provided by the Form?
Set the display property of the parameter to 'No' doesn't work.
I use Designer 6i R4.11

I don't know how to set this in Designer, but to your action button you have to add this:
Add_Parameter(plid,'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
plid - parameter list

Supressing Parameter form when called a report from a Form

Hi all,
How can I supress the Parameter Form of a Report when called from a Form. I am using RUN_PRODUCT built-in to invoke the report.
Thanks in advance
Krishna

Pass a parameter to your report .
the parameter name is "PARAMFORM" and the value it should have is "NO".

No Parameter form when calling report from Forms 6i webpage

I have my Forms 6i fmx files and Reports rep files runnung off of HP Unix
within the same directory and yet when I call the report with RUN_PRODUCT,
I don't get the Parameter Form popup. I left it as default at first, and then I even tried using ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'HTML') to my parameter pl_id in my RUN_PRODUCT call. Can anyone tell me why I don't get a Parameter form?

Actually if you are on the Web then you don't have much control over the format the parameter form is in, so specifying it as HTML doesn't help.
Try paramform=yes when calling teh Report and this "temporarily" should help. The problem that you run into the is that there is nothing happening when you click the parameter form submit button. The reason is that when using Run_Product you are talking to a static HTML file generated into teh Reports temp directory with no services assigned to it.
Check the Whitepaper under http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/pdf/277282.pdf for the options that you have.

Suppressing parameter form when calling report (Designer 6i R4.11)

I use an action item on a Forms module to call a Reports module. This Report has one argument, and its value is provided by the Forms module. When I run the Form and press the button (= action item), the Reports parameter Form appears. How can I suppress the parameter Form since the value is provided by the Form?
Setting the display property of the argument to 'No' doesn't work.

Hi Harm,
There is one parameter called 'PARAMFORM', this is text parameter saying report
whether it has to show the Parameter form or not.
If we set this to 'NO' when calling report,i t won't show the Parameter Form.
Another way is...
Open the report and delete all the items from the Parameter form layout.
Pass all the parameters from the form. Now it wont show the parameter form.
Think it will help you.
Thanks.
Siva.

Parameter Forms - Web Reports

I've managed to do it with PARAMFORM=HTML .... but when i press "submit query" on the parameter form, a database user authentication form appears.
I have already specified the userid in the URL but as a precaution i enter the details again. Then I click submit and i get the error:
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Key "dummy" is unrecognized. Possible causes: bad URL syntax; key in URL was not found in the key map file.
The above was for the cgi version, but for the cartridge version, everytime i push "submit query" on the parameter form, it would loop to the parameter form again.
Can anyone help me with this?
Some info:
Windows NT 4 with SP3
Oracle Apps Server 4.0.7.1
Internet Explorer 5
Developer 6 with Patchset 3
-William Ho

It looks like you're using Reports 6.0
You need to either delete the 'dummy' entry in the cgicmd.dat file (fyi, no longer needed in 6i) or correct it.
Please check out the whitepaper "Reports Server Configuration" available for download on OTN (under Reports 6.0 collateral) for information on this.

Please guide..
Please give me solution what mistake i have made
Thanks

You have to modify your code - machine_name is the name of your computer - this will run on your PC:
Declare
report_id Report_Object;
ReportServerJob VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(200);
L_REPORT_SERVER_PATH VARCHAR2(30):='http://machine_name:8889/reports';
L_REPORT_SERVER VARCHAR2(15):='rep_uoas';
BEGIN
report_id:= find_report_object('REPORT10');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,L_REPORT_SERVER);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,'P_DEPTNO='||:Dept.Deptno||' paramform=no');
ReportServerJob:=run_report_object(report_id);
rep_status:=REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(ReportServerJob);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(ReportServerJob);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status='FINISHED' THEN
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(L_REPORT_SERVER_PATH||'/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(ReportServerJob,instr(ReportServerJob,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server='||L_REPORT_SERVER,'_blank');
ELSE
message('Error');
END IF;
END;
Before first running the report you have to start report server on your PC.

How to close parameter window when report is running

When i use call report in form,at first a parameter window pop up,list parameter from form,then click run,the report is rinning.HOW to skip this parameter window?Use function Add_Parameter()?How to use it?

Hi,
Use Add_Parameter while you are calling the report from forms and the example is as foolows.
Pl_Id := Get_parameter_List('Rep_Parm');
If Not Id_Null(Pl_id) Then
Destroy_Parameter_List('Rep_Parm');
End If;
Pl_Id := Create_Parameter_List('Rep_Parm');
Add_Parameter
(Pl_Id,'PARAMFORM',Text_Parameter,'NO');
Run_Product(REPORTS,'UserRep.Rep',SYNCHRONOUS,RunTime,FileSystem,Pl_Id);
Pass ParForm as no then it will not display the parameter form.

Using ref cursor in after parameter form in reports

hi everyone,
I have problem in usage of ref cursor in after parameter form. My actual requirement is I have user parameter :p_minval, :p_maxval. The values into these user parameters will be coming dynamically using sql_statement as shown below
select min(empid),max(empid) into :p_minval, :p_maxval from emp where empid in (:p_emp);
I will be writing this query in the after parameter form
:p_emp is a lexical parameter as per me but the after parameter form is taking it as a bind variable. so I decided to define a ref cursor and then use it for retrieve. But when I use ref cursor it is returning pl/sql error 591 saying that this is not supported by client side can anyone help me plz..
The following is the code i tried to use in after parameter form
function afterPform return boolean is
type rc is ref cursor;
l_rc rc;
sqlstmt varchar2(512);
begin
sqlstmt:='select min(empid),max(empid) from emp where empid in ('||:p_emp||')';
open l_rc for
select max(empid) from emp where empid in ('||:p_emp||')';
fetch l_rc into :p_maxval;
close l_rc;
return(true);
end;
thanks & regards

I ran into the same problem. any body knows why?

Pre-populating parameter field when report deployed

I have two similar reports, where the reports contains several report parameters and a drop down list of of available options are provided based upon the first report parameter.
The report that works correctly, has the first report parameter pre-populated. The second does not. I don't know how the first report parameter in the correct report has been pre-populated (I didn't create it). It looks like it is pre-populated
based on the login that you use. At the moment in the second report, instead of having a drop down menu - the option is greyed out. However, if I type in a figure for the first report parameter, the drop down menu is available and the options appear
in a drop down list based on that figure.
Can someone please tell me how can I pre-populate the report parameter so I can replicate it in my second report?

Hi chowwbc,
Based on my understanding, you have two similar reports, you want to make a report parameter pre-populate in your second report.
In Reporting Service, when we specify the default values for a report parameter and default values are available, the parameter will pre-populate in a report. If you want to select parameter values appear in a drop-down list, you should specify available
values for a parameter.
In your scenario, as a parameter is an item within a report, you can’t copy parameter values from first report to second report directly. Since two reports are similar, you can refer to first report to specify default values for parameters in your second
report. As we tested in our environment, if we specify default values for a report parameter, the parameter will pre-populate in the report. Please refer to screenshot below:
Reference:
Report Parameters (Report Builder and Report Designer)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,
Qiuyun Yu

Supressing the parameter form when calling report from form...

Hi everybody
I call a report from a form passing a parameter. After pressing
the button, the runtime parameter from appears. How do I
suppress it so that the report appears right after pressing the

Serguei

Hi Serguei ,
You have to add a text parameter 'PARAMFORM' with the value
'NO' to the passing parameter list.

Block list display when report is executed in background?

Hello all,
when i execute the report program in foreground ,output is displayed as block list with two blocks say success table and failure table.
when i execute the same report program in background, i could see only a single block which is success table. Why is this?
Thanks,
Sindhu.

Did you check all the pages in spool? If the report has a output which runs multiple pages, then spool might not display everything unless you change the setting to display more than certain pages. Kindly check the same.
