Call URL from procedure?

Hi
We have a Crystal Report Server which hosts Crystal Report and now we want to invoket report from PL/SQL procedure/function is it possible.
Means Is it possible to invoke report by calling report URL from procedure or function.
Thanks,
Kuldeep

You can certainly use UTL_HTTP to call a URL from a procedure. It's not obvious to me, though, whether that is all you need or whether you need to close the loop (i.e. respond to the results of the report) which may be more challenging.
Be aware, of course, that calls via UTL_HTTP are not transactional, so it is entirely possible that the transaction that initiated the call could be rolled back after the UTL_HTTP call was made. For that reason, folks will commonly have a separate job that calls UTL_HTTP asynchronously after the triggering transaction commits.

  • Calling url from a form - err using ".value" method

    I'm trying to call url from a form, which seems to be the subject of many of these Posts.
    I have a form with a combo box/LOV and a button. The LOV will read a url into the combo box from a table of url's.
    I used the following code in the "OnClick" Java Script Event Handler section, which I pieced together from other posts in this and other forums. (i.e. I'm a pl/sql programmer trying to use Java Scripts for the first time).
    OnClick
    var X = FORM_DRWING.DEFAULT.A_DRILLDOWN_PATH.value;
    run_form(x);
    When I attempt to run this form from the "manage" window, I get a run time error "FORM_DRWING is undefined" upon clicking the button. FORM_DRWING "IS" the name of the form!
    The runform() function in the "before displying form" pl/sql code section is
    htp.p('<script language="JavaScript1.3">
    < !--
    function runForm(v_link)
    window.open(V_LINK);
    //-->
    </script>');
    This code was from yet another Post.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks, Larry
    null

    Hi Larry,
    the problem could be that you need to preface your form with 'document.'.
    i.e.
    var X = document.FORM_DRWING.DEFAULT.A_DRILLDOWN_PATH.value;

  • SAP BW 7 - Call URL from Right Click Menu

    Is it possible to make a http call from the right click menu? I know this was possible in 3.5, but the new code seems to have limited my ability to edit the options that appear when I right click on a field and I need to make a call out to another web server for some external data. Is this possible?
    Any information that anyone has about a potential work around would be great!!
    Thx.

    Kristine,
    Have you tried using RRI (Transaction RSBBS)? You can call URL , pass values etc.

    Hi Johannes,
    I got the problem solved. there is an option
    'Define URLs and Parameters' in the Transaction Launcher.
    ( CRM version 4.0 ).
    where you have to create an ID and define the corresponding URL.
    as the next step you have to goto to transaction auncher wizard and input this ID + Navbar ID, class name etc.

  • Get full caller URL from JSP

    I have several static Web pages calling a JSP page using IFrame src. Is there a way to get the full URL of calling Web pages within the JSP? Below is an example to illustrate what I have to do. I don't have to call JSP from IFrame src if there is another way to make this work.
    JSP is called from:
    http://somewhere.com/home/
    JSP outputs:
    http://somewhere.com/home/
    JSP is called from:
    http://somewhere.com/work/
    JSP outputs:
    http://somewhere.com/work/

    Each (i)frame spawns a new HTTP request. If you want to do it all in single request, use jsp:include instead of iframe.

  • Call report from procedure

    Hi,
    Is it possible to call report or url of report from a pl/sql procedure?
    Regards

    Is it possible to call report or url of report from a pl/sql procedure? I presume you mean "report" as in Oracle Reports. My Developer Suite experience is very rusty but I should think the sticking point is that Reports are not pure PL/SQL - they are executables run by Reports Server. So I think it is unlikely that the answer to your question is "Yes".
    Depending on what particular business need lies behind your question there may be workarounds available to you. The best thing to do would be to ask your question (with more contextual detail) in Reports.

  • Call url from a menu

    Hi,
    It appears that a URL can't be called from a menu using the Portal toolset because the get_menu_link function doesn't work in this release. You get an insufficient privilege error. This is now a bug, #1852576, which development is working on.
    Does anyone know a workaround?
    Thanks in advance,
    Larry

    Do you mean you are coding the HTML yourself?
    Firefox will interpret links that do not start with a protocol (e.g., http://) (or with //) as being on the same site displaying the page. For links to external sites, make sure to use the full URL starting with the protocol, or at least starting from the //.
    Does that fix it?

  • Calling javascript from procedure

    Hi folks
    I am trying to call in a javascript from an onSubmit procedure after computations and validations. This process is conditional and fires on a button click.
    Heres the procedure body :
    begin
    htp.p('<script language =javascript'>)functiondoSomeThing(1,2);</script>');
    end;
    This is not working. I tried removing the branch from the on click of that button as well but, then it says error no page to branch to. Any possible way in which I can see the effects of the above procedure ?
    I want this javascript to be in procedure only, since this is supposed to act after computations and validations.
    Thanks
    Shantanu

    Hi Shantanu,
    Javascript is client-side code; computations, validations, processes and branches are server-side. In order for the javascript to run, therefore, it has to be on the rendered page - you can not call it after computations and validations without reloading the page with the javascript in it somewhere.
    If the script should only be on the page after the user clicks a specific button, you should set the button to set a value for a hidden item and use this to conditionally display the javascript. I tend to put scripts into a region on their own and use Conditional Display appropriately.
    What should the script do "after computations and validations" that can not be done by a page process?

  • Calling URL from servlet

    Hi!
    I am trying to find a solution to this scenario:
    1) A cron job will call a servlet.
    2) Servlet calls a URL on remote server.
    3) Remote server returns an XML document.
    4) Servlet processes/parses the XML document.
    5) Servlet stores XML fields into DB.
    6) Servlet response (entry to log file) indicates status of transaction.
    I'm stuck @ #2. What mechanism can I use to make a call to remote URL? I do not want the returning XML document to display on the client's browser; I want to process it on the back-end.
    Thx!
