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.

  • 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

    # Purpose
    # It should include the weblogic managed server (routing) directives for

  • Problem with web.show_document in calling report

    Hi ,
    I have started the reports server... Programs->run->"C:\oracle\product\DevSuite10g\BIN\rwserver.exe server".
    The system started a report server called "f".
    Pressing a button:

    As action Oracle points out about it:
    Please make sure the server is not already started as a stand alone server.
    But there is not.... The server f has started successfully....
    Do you have any idea why is that...???
    NOTE: I use Oracle Dev10g. I also noticed that in the window which shows the status of the report server... in the last line as "active threads"(i don't know if i translated into english right ... the status is displayed in greek) that there are 2. Is this problem...???

    However , because the report is 2 page accross.... the report displays the first page and down the other page.... Is it possible to display both pages accross as i see them in report builder env....?????

  • Web.show_document to print reports

    hi,
    i am using web.show_document to print reports. when i print a report, a new browser window is displayed, i don't want this to happen, or at least close the windows that appear automatically, i hope someone can help me.

    thank you deepak rai for your concern,
    i have tried all the targets in the show_document call. they either produced a new window, or replaced the current window containing the result of printing, i don't want any effect to take place on the windows, printing only.
    thank you again

  • Running report with web.show_document

    We are using web.show_document to run reports which have parameter forms. destype=CACHE , desformat=pdf . We are also using the javabean which hides the login credentials as a cookie.
    The output displays OK then the user wants to email it, so they use the mail button on the adobe reader toolbar.
    They are asked whether they want to link or copy even though link does not work.
    If they choose copy, the result is an email with an attachment called 'servlet' with no extension.
    The recipient of the email has no idea what a servlet is, and more importantly they do not know how to open the file.
    Does anyone know how to get around these problems ?

    Ino
    Your method is fine if run_report_object is used. However, in order to display a parameter form, the report must be run with web.show_document. If web.show document is used twice, first to run the report and then to display it, the second does not wait for the first to finish, even if a synchronize is put between them.
    So, as soon as the parameter form appears, the second show_document appears in front of it saying it cannot find the file. Dismissing that allows access to the parameter form, the report runs and gives a success message but no output.

  • 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.

  • WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT . Publish reports character mode directly within browser!

    hello!
    I'm having the problem.

      rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
         if rep_status = 'FINISHED' then

    The report is generated,
    But it does not open directly in browser!
    The browser will download a file without extension / format, with the name 'getjobid38'!

  • 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.
    Regards

    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.

  • Web.show_document() to display report in cache?

  • 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.

  • Running Reports with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT versus RUN_REPORT_OBJECT

    Where I work I work alone on developing and delivering Oracle applications. I've found a way of running reports in 10g over the web using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT, I've embedded my own security in the BEFORE PARAMETER FORM trigger of the reports.
    I don't have time to trawl through thousands of pages of documentation and I need to know whether there is a fundamental drawback of using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT over RUN_REPORT_OBJECT? I've got everything working OK in my test environment, but it's not clear reading the Oracle documentation whether there is a major drawback with this method, in particular I'm interested in any performance/load issues. I'm slightly worried because most people seem to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (which has all sorts of issues, such as parameter form incompatibility etc), I've found that WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT is much easier to implement as it avoid the parameter form issue, displaying the user credentials in the source html and being able to type in any jobid in a url to receive other peoples reports.
    I've read as much as I can including the Forms and Reports integration document and the Usability Matrix and can't find anything obvious. I would be very grateful for any comments.

    Good call .... I included some of the code from your linked document to create a forms library from which to run reports. This uses the inate ability of reports to generate HTML parameter forms at runtime. Very handy. Most of our reports that we upgaded recently took little or no effort.

  • Interactive reporting using web client in Hyperion Workspace

    Hi all,
    I was trying to create a new interactive report using following process:
    1)Logon to Workspace using browser
    2)File -> New -> document
    3)select the option: "Create interactive reporting document"
    4)Browse for .oce file
    5)Click finish, once the .oce file is selected.
    After these steps:
    Initially I was getting message regarding checking web client status...
    this was taking lots of time so I cancelled the process and restarted from step 1.
    Now, after step 5, I am getting a file save option showing source of file as server of the Workspace.I am working on a local machine and accessing the workspace product through web browser.
    If I save this file in local machine I don't get an option to open this file from workspace using :
    File -> open -> document.
    and alternatively if try to open this locally from the machine I don't have proper application on my local machine.
    I am badly trapped in this viscious circle.... Kindly help.
    Also, it will be gr8 if somebody could suggest some link for understanding the process of creating a new interactive report , using web client on workspace.
    Thanks in advance..

    Hi all,
    I got to know that import and export option is available with "user->reports" and "file in report folder" respectively, when we go for Explore option.
    So storing to local machine and retrieving it back is no more a problem.
    But still I have hardly any idea as to how to start with interactive reporting in Workspace using web client.
    If any of you come across any such tutorial on interactive reporting using web client on workspace please tell.
    I come to know that Interactive reporting studio is available for interactive reporting purpose: any of you please tell me if "reporting and analysis client.." available on oracle edelivery is sufficient for interactive reporting studio or we need to install something specific for working with Interactive reporting studio.
