Calling a report from a Stored Procedure

Is it possible to call a Oracle Report from a Stored Procedure or a Packaged Stored Procedure. If Yes, please provide some details.
Thanks
Shalu

Shalu,
there's an API available to do this.The feature is called "event driven publishing" (because you can use this even from a trigger) and you can find the documentation here:

Call a Vbscript from a stored procedure

Hi,
I wonder is it possible to call a Vbscript from a stored procedure, any good reference for this.
thanks

Well here is quick and dirty example I just created.
Step 1. Create a test_batch.bat file that creates a folder "c:\test_dir" and copy "c:emp.lst" into it.
C:\oracle102\examples\test_batch.bat
md c:\test_dir
copy c:\emp.lst c:\test_dir
Step2. From SQLPLUS, spool scott.emp into c:\emp.lst and call the batch from the dbms_scheduler that kicks off right away,
set echo off
set feedback off
spool c:\emp.lst;
select * from scott.emp;
spool off;
begin
     dbms_scheduler.create_job(job_name => 'run_batch',
     job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
     job_action => 'C:\oracle102\examples\test_batch.bat',
     start_date => sysdate,
     enabled => true,
     comments => 'Run VB Script');
end;
Check if the directory is created and if the file is copied over. Task is to kick off the executable and test is the VBscript within the batch. Challenge is how long the script runs before the next statement in the PL/SQL runs. May be you have to introduce sleep in between.
Note: You must have at least "CREATE JOB" privilege.
Happy coding!

Calling Java programs from Oracle Stored Procedure

Is it possible to call Java programs from Oracle stored procs? If possible Can this be used to exchange data from other applications? Is there a better method/feature in oracle for doing data exchange with other apps?

If what you mean by Oracle stored procedures is pl/sql then yes.
You can create a "wrapper" this way:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xmlXform
in_mapUrl IN VARCHAR2,
in_inputUrl IN VARCHAR2
RETURN VARCHAR2
AS
LANGUAGE JAVA NAME
'com.yourcompany.xml2any.xform(java.lang.String,java.lang.String)
RETURN java.lang.String';
Then load the java as:
loadjava -user youruser/youruserpasswd -resolve -verbose lib/xmlparserv2.jar classes/com/yourcompany/xform.class classes/com/yourcompany/xml2any.class
The java, given the correct permissions, can do anything java can do including communicate with outside applications.
Is this the "best" way... depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

Getting error code 1 when calling SSIS package from a stored procedure (SQL Server 2008 R2)

Hello,
I am trying to execute a SSIS package from SQL Server 2008 R2 stored procedure but getting error code 1 (as per my knowledge, error code description is as below:
0 The package executed successfully.
1 The package failed.
3 The package was canceled by the user.
4 The utility was unable to locate the requested package. The package could not be found.
5 The utility was unable to load the requested package. The package could not be loaded.
6 The utility encountered an internal error of syntactic or semantic errors in the command line.
Details:
I have a stored procedure named "Execute_SSIS_Package" (see below sp) which executes 'Import_EMS_Response' SSIS package (when I execute this package directly from SQL Server BID it works fine it means package itself is correct) and calling
it from SQL as:- EXEC Execute_SSIS_Package 'Import_EMS_Response'.
Here I receives error code 1.
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue please?
Thanks in advance!
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Execute_SSIS_Package]
@strPackage nvarchar(100)
AS
BEGIN
-- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from
-- interfering with SELECT statements.
SET NOCOUNT ON;
DECLARE @cmd VARCHAR(8000)
DECLARE @Result int
DECLARE @Environment VARCHAR(100)
SELECT @Environment = Waarde
FROM Sys_Settings
WHERE Optie = 'Omgeving'
--print @Environment
SET @strPackage = '"\W2250_NGSQLSERVER\BVT\' + @Environment + '\' + @strPackage + '"'
SET @cmd = 'dtexec /SQL ' + @strPackage + ' /SERVER "w2250\NGSQLSERVER" /Decrypt "BVT_SSIS" /CHECKPOINTING OFF /REPORTING E'
--print @cmd
EXECUTE @Result = master..xp_cmdshell @cmd, NO_OUTPUT
--print @Result
END

It has something to do with the security.
E.g. cmdshell is not enabled or the caller has not rights over the package.
There could be a syntax error, too.
I suggest you make the package runnable off a SQL Agent job then trigger the job from the stored proc with
sp_start_job <job name>

How to generate XML Publisher report from PLSQL Stored Procedure in APPS

Hi,
I have concurrent program of type PLSQL Stored procedure.I need to generate XML Publisher report from the same.I have changed the output of the concurrent program as "XML" but when I tried running it,the XML tags are not generated.Due to this I am unable to create the template.Its a urgent issue.
Please help me out .
Thanks in advance.
Kaveri

Hi Kaveri
Sadly there is nothing magic about that output field. The only program type that you can flip it to XML and then magically get XML is for Oracle Reports. For plsql you will need to recode the plsql to generate XML rather than text that you have now.
You have some options, best option first:
1. Move the sql to a data template - check the user guide and blog for help or
2. Use SQL XML or XMLGEN (not great for large datasets) or
3. Use dbms_output.put_line and write the XML file manually - not performant at all

Calling Java Constructor from Oracle Stored Procedure

Hi all,
I have come across a situation where on insert into one Oracle database instance, a trigger will be fired which will call a procedure which in turn calls a Java constructor with 2 string arguments(The Java class is loaded into another instance of Oracle using Loadjava).
(Note: I don't want to call a static method from the Oracle procedure)
I have seen some examples where in using links, on insertion into a table another table of another instance can also be updated.
for ex: "INSERT INTO testuser.sal_audit@mainlink VALUES (?, ?, ?)" where "mainlink" is a DB link between the 2 instances.
Similarly is it possble to call the Java constructor loaded in another instance?
I have tried in this way. It's not working.
create or replace procedure pr_Cust_object(FeData varchar2,szDummy varchar2) as
LANGUAGE JAVA NAME
'CustomObject@mainLink(java.lang.String, java.lang.String)';
end pr_Cust_object;
Expecting help at the earliest--ASAP.
Thanks and Regards,
Narendra S K

I don't know how to do that, but I would be interested in knowing how long each insert/update/delete (which ever the trigger fires on) takes.
And the logic for rollbacks is probably really interesting.

Call a function inside a package from a stored procedure

Hello:
I am kind of new to the stored procedure. Does anyone know how to call a function inside a package from another stored procedure?
I have a existing function (func_b) inside a package (pack_a) and it returns a cursor. I want to call this function from a stored procedure (proc_c) so that I use the data inside the cursor.
can I do the following in proc_c:
my_cursor1 SYS_REFCURSOR;
begin
my_cursor1 := exec pack_a.func_b
end
It will be very helpful if anyone can point me to any reading or example. Thank you very much for your information.

guys:
Thank you for your information so far. I need some more help here. I was able to run the function in my stored procedure. However, I was not able to print the result on the screen to view the cursor result, although I am using dbms_output.put_line statement inside my stored procedure.
I use the following statement to execute my stored procedure on sql*plus. I can tell the stored procedure is executed successfully, but I did see anything printed:
DECLARE TEMP VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN PROC_LAWS_CAD_NAME_SEARCH('LPD', 'TEST DEVICE ID', 'TEST LAST NAME', 'TEST FIRST NAME', 'F', '11112009', TEMP); END;
I tried to use 'set serveroutput on' and got the following error:
ERROR:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: host bind array too small
ORA-06512: at line 1
I am kind of confused now. thank you for your help.

Calling stored procedure from a stored procedure

I have a stored procedure that accepts a customer prefix like "abc" and returns a customer document number like "abc-0021". (Thanks V Garcia)
This sp works when I call it from SQL Plus Worksheet.
But I need to call it from another stored procedure and store it in a local variable so that I can insert it into a table with the rest of the information.
This is what I have tried so far:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "SCHEMANAME"."SP_XXTESTXX" ( seq_name in
    varchar2)
AS
      id_out varchar(10);
BEGIN
   execute SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER(seq_name,:id_out);
   print id_out;
END;but this will not compile. I get this error:
Line # = 8 Column # = 12 Error Text = PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER" when expecting one of the following:     := . ( @ % ; immediate The symbol ":=" was substituted for "SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER" to continue.
Line # = 8 Column # = 41 Error Text = PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'ID_OUT'
Line # = 10 Column # = 10 Error Text = PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "ID_OUT" when expecting one of the following:     := . ( @ % ; The symbol ":=" was substituted for "ID_OUT" to continue.

I think I got it.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE "SCHEMANAME"."SP_XXTESTXX" ( seq_name in
    varchar2)
AS
id_out varchar(10);
BEGIN
SP_GET_NEXT_DOC_NUMBER(seq_name,id_out);
dbms_output.put_line(id_out);
END;This works like I wanted it to do.

How do I get return parameters from a stored procedure call?

The Open SQL Statement has an option on the Advanced tab to specify a command type of 'stored procedure'. In addition to returning a recordset, a stored procedure can also return parameters (see http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q185/1/25.ASP for info on doing this with ADO). Is it possible to get those return parameters with TestStand? In particular, I want to be able to get error codes back from the stored procedure in case it fails (maybe there is another way).

The Open SQL Statement step type does not fully support stored procedures. If the procedure returns a record set than you can fetch the values as you would a SELECT statement. Stored procedures require you to setup the parameters before the call and this is not yet supported. Bob, in his answer, made a reference to the Statements tab and I think that he was talking about the Database Logging feature in TS 2.0.
If the stored procedure is returning a return value, it may return as a single column, single row recordset which can be fetched as you normally do a record set.

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;

Need to call an Oracle Form from a stored procedure, any suggestions.

I have a stored procedure which runs on our 8i database on a scheduled basis. I have an Oracle Form (6i) that needs to be called automatically from this stored procedure. Any suggestions on how I might accomplish this?
Thanks,
Wes

You might be able to do this using a java stored procedure. I think you need to have version 8.1.6 or above to java stored procedures. Here's a couple of links that might help.

How to pass parameter from 1 stored procedure to another stored procedure inside crystal report

Hi
I have several stored procedure in my Crystal Report. I am wondering if it is possible for me to pass a parameter to one of the stored procedure and to use the result of that stored procedure E.g. CustomerCode. To another 2 stored procedure to generate the report dynamically?
I have 3 stored procedure
The 1st one is used to gather information and process the calculation
another 2 stored procedure is used for generate the graph and both of them required to take 2 parameters. The 1st stored procedure will require 1 parameter (E.G. Reference Code) and will return a set of information including the data that could be use on the other 2 stored procedures.
After I added these 2 stored procedure, it requires me to pass 3 parameters to the report. I would like to know if I could only pass the Reference Code for stored procedure 1 and use it to retrieve the information for the other 2 parameter?
Thanks in advance
Chi

Hi Chi
To pass parameter from 1 stored procedure to another stored procedure, you will have to create sub report. In your case you will have to create 2 sub reports for 2nd and 3rd stored procedure and link those sub reports with the main report using Reference Code field in order to pass the values.
After creating the report when you will refresh the report, it will ask 4 parameters, one parameter for main report, one for the first subreport and two for second subreport to fetch the data correctly.

Poonam Thorat.
