Call DISCOVERER Report From a 6i or 9i Form

Is is possible to call a Discoverer report directly from a 6i form? How about from a 9i form?
I know calling an Oracle Reports (.rdf) is possible; my focus is on Discoverer.
Thanks

As regards the Forms 6i.....

  • Calling discoverer report from Oracle report

    Hi
    I need to call a discoverer report from an Oracle report.
    Could someone pls let me know how you did it?
    Thanks.

    If the Oracle Discoverer Report is accessible by an URL then yes. It will be similar to calling Oracle Reports. See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html

  • 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)

  • 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;
    null

  • Error while running the Discoverer report from the command line.

    Hi All,
    I've to run a discoverer report from command line and export the results in xls/html on to my local machine. This report I've to run it as batch and scheduled it.
    I have a parameterized worksheet and this has to be run from command line specifying the parameter value I wanted to run the report for. I do not get any results. Here is the command line I am using.
    dis51usr /connect user/password@database /opendb "TIMS-PCJ status Report" /sheet "TIMS observation status report (based on performed date)" /parameter "Test Number" '40351' /parameter "From Date" '05-MAY-2008' /parameter "To Date" '06-MAY-2008' /export HTML "C:\DISCOVERER_REPORT_SCHEDULING\DIS_OUTPUT\PCJStOutputinHTML123"
    I even added the TO_DATE conversion for the parameters and also gave the format of the date as 'DD_MON_YYYY'.
    Discoverer Desktop opened up, logged in and gets terminated saying 'Oracle Discoverer Desktop has encountered a problem and need to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.'
    Please anyone reply me.
    Regards & Thanks,
    P. Gayathri Devi

    Hi Gayathri,
    Try changing your parameter names to be a single word. (Change "Test Number" to Test_Number).
    Does the report run fine when run through Desktop for the same parameter values? Which version of Discoverer are you using?
    Thanks.

  • Unable to run discoverer report from command prompt

    Hi,
    I'm trying to run the discoverer report from command prompt and i need to schedule the same.
    How could i pass multiple values for the parameters?
    If i don't pass the optional parameters, the parameter screen is getting pop-up? How to skip optional parameters?
    Also, how to pass the data ranges (format for date parameters) ?
    I'm using the below command in command prompt:
    cd/d E:\oracle\BIToolsHome_1\bin
    dis51usr /connect username/password@database /opendb "TIMS-PCJ status Report" /sheet "TIMS observation status report (based on performed date)" /parameter "Test Number" 40351 /parameter "From Date" "01-JAN-2007" /parameter "To Date" "28-FEB-2007" /parameter "Observation Status" C /parameter "Observation Name" "Abdominal Girth" /export HTML "C:\DISCOVERER_REPORT_SCHEDULING\DIS_OUTPUT\PCJStatusOutput11"
    Any one please reply me. Its very urgent.
    Regards,
    Sreedhar

    Hi,
    How could i pass multiple values for the parameters? You should be able to use a comma separated list e.g.
    /parameter "Observation Name" "'Abdominal Girth','Abdominal Girth2'"
    How to skip optional parameters?I don't think you can. You have to supply all parameters and then decode out the parameters you don't need in the workbook.
    how to pass the data ranges You cannot pass a date range. You can pass a start and end parameters. The default format for the date parameters is DD-MON-YYYY but this can change depending on the NLS settings and format of the data item.

  • Invoking a Discoverer Report from a web page written in JSP

    Hi,
    We are using Discoverer 10.1.2 against a relational database. We are not using the OLAP option.
    I have a requirement wherein users would like link to a Discoverer Report from a web application which is not deployed in Oracle Portal. So Discoverer portlets are not the solution.
    I basically need to be able to provide the Report URL in the JSP page.
    Has anybody done this ? Can you please provide some pointers towards how to generate the Discoverer report URL to invoke the report from a JSP ?
    Thanks
    Manav

    Discoverer URL parameters can be found here in the Configuration Guide here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/html/B13918_03/urlstart.htm#sthref888
    Note, that you cannot pass the password in the URL (security restriction) so you will need to use Public or Private connections and pass the connection ID or use an HTML form to build the URL using the POST method.
    Or, you can fill in the desired fields and let the user enter their username/pwd.
    Hope that helps get you started.
    Regards,
    Steve.

  • 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 jsp page

    Hi
    1) Can anyone please tell me how can i view Discoverer report from a jsp page instead of opening it directly thru plus/viewer.
    2) Please clarify do i need to install Infrastructure and OID for it.
    Please advice.
    Thanks

    You need the AS infrastructure if you want to use connections. If you do not intend using connections, you do not require the infrastructure.
    Note that you cannot pass in passwords in the URL any longer. You do not need to pass passwords if you pass in a Discoverer connection id (but then again - if you don't use connections, then you do need to still pass in the connection information - username, password, database, language, EUL)
    I have a post on my blog that describes how to pass a password using an HTML Form submit - http://oraclebi.blogspot.com/2005/08/passing-password-to-viewer.html

  • Calling a Report from a Form

    I have uploaded my form to the app server and compiled to Linux. I have copied my RDF file to the reports_path/demo directory. I can run the report via a link from our portal using the URL as follows:
    /reports/rwservlet?report=IndRpt.rdf&desformat=pdf&destype=cache&userid=' target="_blank"
    That opens the report in a separate window, which is what we want. So far, so good.
    I can run the form via a link from our portal as well using the URL as follows:
    /forms/frmservlet?config=bsc_ind
    The config section hides all the form parameters very nicely.
    In the portal, I created a Report Server Access portlet, REP_OMHAST2_MIDTIER, and use the following set_report_object calls in my form:
    repid := find_report_object('IndRep');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTYrepid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTYrepid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTYrepid,REPORT_SERVER,'rep_omhast2_midtier');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,ls_param);
    v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
    rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
    WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') LOOP
    rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
    END LOOP;
    IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
    /*Display report in the browser*/
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://omhast2.omh.state.ny.us:7777/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
    substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=rep_omhast2_midtier ','_blank');
    All that comes right out of the white paper.
    Now here's the weird part, I have never seen this before. When I click my "Show Report" button in my form, the report seems to be running, but then I get a very strange dark grey, square icon superimposed over my mouse pointer. The icon has a small yellow "starburst" pattern with a tiny red exclamation point inside. The report does not appear on screen.
    Incidentally, all of this works correctly when I run the same scenario on my workstation using the call to rwserver as: rwserver server=rep_omhast2_midtier. But when we port it to the app server, it does not run. I think it has to be in the way the form calls the report because the report will run as a stand-alone object.
    Anything apparent to anyone out there?

    Well, it looks like I stumped the band. And with good reason. Sorry for the error. The problem was that the user running the form and the report had a pop-up blocker that was blocking the report. The form and the report ran from another machine. I allowed pop-ups from the report's URL and that enabled the report to appear.
    So, here we have another example of how to call a report from a form. Again, I am sorry for any angst this may have caused.
