Call excel from report6i

Hi
Is there anyway to call excell from Reports6i.if it is please tell me how
Thnks
Kamaraj

Of course it can be done!!!!
The way to do it is using OLE2 Built In Package.
This is the way of call Word from Forms, but it also works for Report and Excel.
HOW TO - Performing OLE on the client using WebUtil
Introduction
Many Forms applications utilize OLE to perform tight integration with the Windows desktop. However, when moving your Forms application to the Web, the calls to OLE are now running on the application server and not the client machine.
Typically you need OLE to access the machine at which the user is sitting and integrate with the OLE services on the client. For example, loading data into an Excel worksheet and display for the user.
WebUtil provides you the functionality to perform client side OLE integration from within the Forms Java applet.
Set up
For the steps to set up WebUtil, please refer to the WebUtil Familiarization Manual available as part of the software download.
Changing code
Consider the following code:
DECLARE
app OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
docs OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
doc OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
selection OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
args OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
BEGIN
-- create a new document
app := OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Word.Application');
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(app,'Visible',1);
docs := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(app, 'Documents');
doc := OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(docs, 'add');
selection := OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(app, 'Selection');
-- insert data into new document from long item
OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(selection, 'Text', :long_item);
-- save document as example.doc
args := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, 'c:\temp\example.doc');
OLE2.INVOKE(doc, 'SaveAs', args);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(args);
-- close example.doc
args := OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, 0);
OLE2.INVOKE(doc, 'Close', args);
OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(args);
OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(selection);
OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(doc);
OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(docs);
-- exit MSWord
OLE2.INVOKE(app,'Quit');
END;
This code opens a Word document to the user and inserts data from a Forms text field into that Word document before saving and closing the file. To perform the same functionality, but on the client side when deployed on the Web, attach the WebUtil object library and PL/SQL library, and replace any instance of OLE2 with CLIENT_OLE2.
The resulting code will now work, as before, but write the file to the client machine.
DECLARE
app CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
docs CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
doc CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
selection CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
args CLIENT_OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
BEGIN
-- create a new document
app := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Word.Application');
CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(app,'Visible',1);
docs := CLIENT_OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(app, 'Documents');
doc := CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(docs, 'add');
selection := CLIENT_OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(app, 'Selection');
-- insert data into new document from long item
CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(selection, 'Text', :long_item);
-- save document as example.doc
args := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
CLIENT_OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, 'c:\temp\example.doc');
CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE(doc, 'SaveAs', args);
CLIENT_OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(args);
-- close example.doc
args := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
CLIENT_OLE2.ADD_ARG(args, 0);
CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE(doc, 'Close', args);
CLIENT_OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(args);
CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(selection);
CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(doc);
CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(docs);
-- exit MSWord
CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE(app,'Quit');
END;

How to open or call Excel from an Oracle Form in Apps11i

I have a custom form in Apps 11i from which I need to be able to open an Excel spreadsheet. I'm aware that it is possible to a spreadsheet that is available on the local drive from a form, but can it be done from Applications ?

If you do by yourself, you may call report in excel format, as of editing and saving back to database, you may need think other ways.
webutil may be hhepful.

Xcelsius suddenly only allows chart to call data from first excel worksheet

Hi
I'm using Xcelsius 2008 Engage with SP1 FP3 installed.
I have never had this problem before, but in the last week, Xcelsius won't allow a chart to call data from any worksheet in the excel file other than the first worksheet. If I reorder the worksheets in the excel file, i can access a different worksheet, but only the one that is saved as the first worksheet (left most tab).
In dashboards i have already created, i can't change the data range of a chart that's already calling data from a worksheet unless i select the first worksheet.
Could this be an automatic update from microsoft? Has anyone else experienced this and worked out how to overcome it? It is frustrating to keep moving the worksheet to the front and reimporting the data everytime i want to make a change that isn't in the first excel worksheet.
Thanks,
Scott.

As far as I remember it's not possible. Thus, find attached VI and use it to convert line/column to excel cell format. It's working if you are not using more than 26 columns (i.e. column AA, AB, ... if this is the case you have to improve it a little)
Hope this helps

Call Excel Macros function from Java

Hi All,
can u guide me How to call excel macros from java.
The thing is first I have to enable macros and then call the macors function.
Is this possible to call from Java. If yes guide me.
Thanks in Advance

Seems like something you'd have to do through COM.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jacob-project/
HOW you do that is something you'll really have to figure out yourself, its not a Java question.

Calling MS Excel from Forms 6.0

Can somebody tell me in detail how to call MS Excel from Oracle Forms. I would like to create a button on a form and when the user clicks the button, MS Excel should open and I need to populate all the relevant data into Excel spreadsheet.
Thanks

You will probably have to use the OLE2 package. Take a look at the demo oleexcel.fmb which comes with Developer 6.0 for some ideas on how to start. You might also want to look at the documentation Oracle produced on this topic for Forms 4.5. It may be old, but I believe it is still relevant. See:
http://technet.oracle.com/products/developer/pdf/oleexcel.pdf
Good Luck!

     l_param_list := l_param_list || '&p_from_date=' || p_from_date ;
     l_param_list := l_param_list || '&p_to_date=' || p_to_date ;
htp.prn('
param_list = ''');
htp.prn( l_param_list);
htp.prn('''
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll){
var win = null;
LeftPosition = (screen.width) ? (screen.width-w)/2 : 0;

<input type="button" class="printbutton" value="Export To Excel" class="button" OnClick="ExportToExcel();">');
Can anyone tell me what is wrong.
I have the same code in another schema and it is working fine. Both schema are on the same server. Do they have any set up on appserver in DAD file to be able to see the data in Excel?
Thanks
Yagna

Thank you for your answer dccase!
I decided to go with on demand process. I have trouble with calling procedure from (button URL - javascript:popupURL('#OWNER#.exportXML')) pop window which cause "Forbidden, The requested operation is not allowed" error. I read that this is because I'm using XE edition and there is no HTMLDB_PUBLIC_USER role in XE.
Now, I use on demand process and button URL link:
javascript:popupURL('f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&APP_SESSION.:APPLICATION_PROCESS=PLSQL_Export_XML:NO::')
It is working. Now I have to find solution to automatically close popup window :-)
Thanks!

Calling Report from Menu (Oracle Forms 10g)

We have the applications in Forms6i & Reports 6i (Client Server) and migrating to Forms 10g and Reports 10g. We have the menu, from that menu we are calling all the forms and Reports. For especially Reports earlier we user RUN_PRODUCT but now 10g it is not working. How can call the report using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT
Important things we have some dynamic parameters (input) to the each report. That means when i called the report from the menu i need to get first parameter form to take the parameters and then can be run the report.

Here is the code to call report from menu in 10g
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep varchar2(100);
v_server VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(100);
v_host VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
     select rep_server into v_server from reports_data;
     select machine into v_host from reports_data;
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
     IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
     Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
     END IF;
     pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_C_CODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:GLOBAL.COMPANY);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_B_CODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:GLOBAL.BRANCH);
     repid := find_report_object('REPORTOBJ');

          v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid, pl_id);
          rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
          WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')

Hi,
You have to have the report server
a. Installed and configured
b. Running.
See
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_strt001.htm
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_verify004.htm
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_conf003.htm#i1007341
If you are using rwservlet then you will find the name from the Configuration file referred to in the last link.
Cheers,

REP 110 & REP 0110 .calling reports from Form 10g(10.1.2.0.2)

Hi All,
We are migrating form from Oracle form 6i to Oracle 10g(10.1.2.0.2). I am calling reports from forms
using Web.Show_Docment(). When we run reports in report builder 10g it works fine.
But when we try to run reports from Forms 10g it throws error which is given below.
We want to run reports from UNIX. After using this url to submit report we get error REP 110 and REP 0110
URL

I will really appreciate your help.

Hello,
You are mixing 2 separators in the URL : & and +
Use only one separator in the URL :
Example :

Thanks!!
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Dear Olga12,
Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
When i suggested the solution to my client for creating two separate templates attached to same data definition , they declined and argued that we cant create 2 separate templates for all reports( more than 200 reports).
Is there any way to create the PDF/EXCEL from same RDF other than creating two separate templates ?
Thanks ,
