Call Developer 2000 Reports/Forms from PL/SQL stored proc.

Hello all,
I am searching for a method for a stored procedure on Oracle 8.0 to call a Oracle Developer 2000 Report or Form.
Any suggestions,
Thanks,
Julian

No offense,
Do you mean calling a trigger in a Form or Report to fire off another of the same? Or do you mean how do I fire Forms from a Database stored procedure?
Please I don't mean any offense, it is just hard, sometimes to say simple concepts and not sound, well, bad.
Otherwise think about it. A Stored procedure is run inside the database, it has no idea where you client is, and doesn't know which type of client you have (X-Windows, Microsuck), and doesn't know how to fire off an app on the client.
One concept that is hard, sometimes, to get is where things are run. Forms runs on an Apps Server (Java screens), or a client, like on a PC. Stored procedures run, usually, on a whole different box, a database server. The database server is not that well connected that it can fire off a app on a client. Try to go to a Unix database server and run a command to fire off Internet Explorer on your client!? Not real easy to do.

Call Oracle form from pl/sql

Dear All
How can I call Oracle form from pl/sql and open this form to end user
many thanks

how can I show this form to specific client ?What client?!? Database PL/SQL is executed within a process on the database server, it's not something which is executed on the client. Could you please elaborate a little bit more?
By now I have not the faintest clue if you want to
- call a form from another form ( call_form )
- call a form within a database process (?!?)
- call your form from a client you did not tell us (probably APEX?!?)
For the case you really meant to call a form within Database PL/SQL: Just in case you didn't recognize it, but the database is perfectly capable of PL/SQL and as calling a form within a database process is a one-way street as you cannot interact with it there is no point at all in writing the things you want to do in forms. If you want some PL/SQL code executed on the database then...well...put it in a stored procedure in the database!

Send a report to report server from PL/SQL Procedure

Hi Report Gurus,
Please can I know how to run a report from pl/sql stored procedure. Is there any way to execute URL from PL/SQL?
Thanks,
Simi.

Why, yes there is!
If you're talking about PL/SQL stored in the database, check the function UTL_HTTP.REQUEST. A "describe utl_http" in SQL*Plus will do the trick.
But if you're talking about PL/SQL inside Forms, you can use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT instead.
Hope this helps,

Can we call a Java Stored Proc from a PL/SQL stored Proc?

Hello!
Do you know how to call a Java Stored Proc from a PL/SQL stored Proc? is it possible? Could you give me an exemple?
If yes, in that java stored proc, can we do a call to an EJB running in a remote iAS ?
Thank you!

For the java stored proc called from pl/sql, the example above that uses dynamic sql should word :
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE MyPackage AS
TYPE Ref_Cursor_t IS REF CURSOR;
FUNCTION get_good_ids RETURN VARCHAR2 ;
FUNCTION get_plsql_table_A RETURN Ref_Cursor_t;
END MyPackage;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY MyPackage AS
FUNCTION get_good_ids RETURN VARCHAR2
AS LANGUAGE JAVA
NAME 'MyServer.getGoodIds() return java.lang.String';
FUNCTION get_plsql_table_A RETURN Ref_Cursor_t
IS table_cursor Ref_Cursor_t;
good_ids VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
good_ids := get_good_ids();
OPEN table_cursor FOR 'SELECT id, name FROM TableA WHERE id IN ( ' | | good_ids | | ')';
RETURN table_cursor;
END;
END MyPackage;
public class MyServer{
public static String getGoodIds() throws SQLException {
return "1, 3, 6 ";

Is it possible to call a windows batch file from PL/SQL

Hi gurus,
Would require your help.Is it possible to call a windows batch file from PL/SQL??If yes can you give an example for the same or any workaround for the same.

Hi!
Youn need some extproc related entries in you listener.ora and tnsnames.ora file.
*1. In the listener.ora:*
Defining the listener process is done in two parts.
The information contained in each listener differs!!!
The first part is as follows:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = extproc)) <--- *ADD THIS LINE
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = yourhostname)(PORT = 1521))
)The seoncd part is as follows:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
    (SID_DESC =
      (GLOBAL_DBNAME = YOUR_GLOBAL_DBNAME)
      (ORACLE_HOME = c:\oracle\product\10.2.0) <-- THIS IS YOUR ORACLE_HOME
      (SID_NAME = YOUR_SID)                            <-- SID
    (SID_DESC =                                              <--- ADD THIS LINE
      (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)                          <--- ADD THIS LINE
      (ORACLE_HOME = c:\oracle\product\10.2.0) <--- ADD THIS LINE AND EDIT TO YOUR ORACLE_HOME
      (PROGRAM = extproc)                                <--- ADD THIS LINE
      (ENV = "EXTPROC_DLLS=ANY")                  <--- ADD THIS LINE
    )                                                                <--- ADD THIS LINE
)*2. In the tnsnames.ora you need to add the following entry:*
*(The KEY value entered must be match to the KEY value entered int the listener.ora file!)*
EXTPROC_CONNECTION_DATA =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = extproc))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = PLSExtProc)
      (PRESENTATION = RO)
)Finally you need to restart your listiner. After restarting there will be a service called "PLSExtProc" in your listener.
This are only examples for extproc configuration, your tnsnames.ora and listener.ora can be differs.
FIRST MAKE MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL tnsnames.ora AND listener.ora FILES
For more information please check metalink note 68061.1 "EXTPROC: Creating External Procedures on Windows NT"

You didn't specify a database version, but if you are 10g or higher, it's quite straightforward using an external job type in DBMS_SCHEDULER. Funnily enough i'm looking at something similar myself at the moment.

Save prompted sql stored proc parm values in rpt file from designer

How can I save the last prompted sql stored proc parameter values from within the CR designer. In other words I want to hard code some of the parameter values (the rest are passed) so that CR does not prompt at run time. I am running CR Developer XI R2 SP1 from within VS.Net 2005 (Winforms)

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the .NET Development - Crystal Reports Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Is i possible to base a report on a pl/sql stored procedure

Is i possible to base a report on a pl/sql stored procedure?
If Yes please give directions on how to do it.
/morten

Hello Morten,
In Reports 9i, with new feature JDBCPDS its possiable to create a report against a existing stored procedure.
Using JDBCPDS, user can access any JDBC-enabled data source. You can access database like Oracle, DB2, Sybase, ODBC Data Sources, etc using supporting
JDBC Drivers. User can also connect ODBC Data Sources like SQL Server, MS-Access, Excel etc.
User can create a JDBC Query angainst a SQL Query or Stored Procedure in any of mentioned dataSource.
Following is the syntax of the Oracle Stored Procedure, which can be used as Data Source with JDBCPDS.
Steps to create a JDBCPDS Report through Report Builder : http://otn.oracle.com:8877/reports/help/ - > JDBCPDS- > How To
//----------Package definition for Ref cursor ----------/
package test_Procedure as
type empcurProcedure5 is ref cursor;
end test_tryProcedure5;
// -----------Procedure definition ---------//
test_Procedure(p_emp_cv out test_tryProcedure5.empcurProcedure5,
p1 in NUMBER) is
begin
update emp set sal=sal + 50 where deptno > P1
open p_emp_cv for select * from emp where deptno > P1;
end test_Procedure;
Procedure first parameter will be Ref Cursor and will be used to return the resultSet to JDBC Query.
User should create first this procedure in Database. Then in JDBC Query Dialog, user can call this stored procedure by specifying procedure name.
test_Procedure(40)
Please see ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/jdbcpds.conf for more Connection and
JDBC-Driver information.
With Regards

Call a UNIX shell script from an oracle stored procedure

We need to call a UNIX shell script from an oracle stored procedure
i.e. the control should come back to the procedure once the script completes. Can any body help to achieve this ?

There are various ways in achieving this.
For Example, you can call a PRO*C-Library residing on the database server.
This requires a PL/SQL library to be generated and some changes to the Listener configuration.
It is also possible to implement a java procedure on the database being invoked by a PL/SQL wrapper class.
In this way (and if used right) there is also granularity regarding the filestructure permissions given and it may be called during a Forms or other PL/SQL session.
The article below explains a more generic approach how to invoke shell commands from within an Oracle Instance.
Be careful with this, because it really works ;)

Get server output from pl/sql stored procedure

Hi Colleagues,
I would like to get and watch the server output of my PL/SQL stored procedure
when I run my java program and call it from. The Stored proc. uses "dbms_output.put_line".
If it is clearly and possible (or not), will you send me your answer!
Thanks a lot
Ulve

Hi,
You can redirect the standard output to the console (i.e., the SQL output) using the
DBMS_JAVA.SET_OUTPUT() method.
SQL> SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SQL> call dbms_java.set_output (5000);But, the output is only printed when the stored procedure exits, and this setting works only for one call (i.e., the SQL call that immediately follows the invocation of DBMS_JAVA.SET_OUTPUT()). The minumum and default value is 2,000 characters and the maximum is 1,000,000 (1 million) characters. Notice the “SET SERVEROUTPUT ON” which enables displaying the outputs of stored procedures (Java or PL/SQL blocks) in SQL*Plus.

URGENT!! Generating XML in a PL/SQL stored proc

Hi,
I need to generate XML from a PL/SQL stored proc.
I need to do it in Oracle 7.3.4 as well as 8.1.6 databases.
I need to have my own defined tags in the xml.
Say I have the table Person like
Person (
id number,
fname varchar2(40),
lname varchar2(40)
I need a stored proc will will select * from Person and output the data in XML form as
<Person Names>
<Employee>
<First Name personid="<<value from id field>>">
<<value from fname field>>
</First Name>
<Last Name>
<< value from lname field>>
</Last Name>
</Employee>
</Person Names>
I want to minimise hard coding also.
how can I do this ? any pointers ?
Thanks in advance, Hari

Hi,
We are not having a Web Agent here. So i am unable to use PLSXML utility.
I installed XSU and is now able to create the XML, but with the table attribute names as the tags. So
1. Is there a way I can transform this XML to another XML with custom tags ( using an XSL ) in a PL/SQL procedure ?
2. Is there a way I can install and use PLSXML without the web agent ?
Thanks, Hari

Cf caching ms sql stored procs,

I'm having trouble with Cf caching ms sql stored procs,
eg in this one:
<cfstoredproc procedure="getUser"   datasource="#datasource#" returncode="true">
      <cfprocparam type="in" cfsqltype="CF_SQL_VARCHAR" value="#results.SAMAccountName[1]#">
      <cfprocresult name="sp">
    </cfstoredproc>
I get the same 4 columns returned no matter what the actual sp is in the server.
any ideas?

Sorry, I'm not suggesting any corelation between a <cfquery> with a SELECT * in it and suggesting your proc had SELECT * in it. Just perhaps that whatever mechanism in CF or the JDBC drivers that caches the expected columns from a SELECT * query might also cache them from a PROC call. There's a loose parallel in that neither actually specify the expected column names, that's all I meant.
Can you do me a favour? Can you do something like <cfquery datasource="yourDsn">THIS AIN'T VALID SQL</cfquery> and then re-run your proc. Does that sort it out? I seem to recall - and now I feel like I'm wasting your time a bit, because I'm really unsure of this - that if one caused an error over the JDBC connection, it cleared itself out and subsequent queries worked fine. It might work the same for procs. I'm not suggesting this as a solution: just more info gathering. This is presupposing it is kinda related to the SELECT * issue.
I'll try to do some experimentation when I get home tonight, but I've got some docs to write and stuff so not sure whether I'll get to it.

BPEL process to Insert XML into DB using pl/sql stored proc

Hi,
We have created a BPEL process in which we are taking input request and store it into Oracle Database using PL/SQL proc.
We have been unsuccessful in doing so because the data stored in table has root element missing.
Has any body done this (insert xml into DB using pl/sql stored proc) successfully ?
We can so this successfully if we do not use stored procedure and store data directly in table.
Regards

I have done this, stored it as a CLOB.
Also I received the payload as an opaque schema, so I had to convert the message from binary into string.
This way the root element doesn't get removed.
cheers
