Calling a report from HTML

Hi All ,
I am trying to call a report from Static view.Now , I know we can call a page or dashboard from the statis view by writing th HTML content.
Can we also call a report from the Static View .
I tried using :
<a
href="/Analytics/saw.dll?Path=/shared/Sample%20store/_portal/DashboardName/Report%20Name">
Here, the report 'Report Name' is in the dashboard 'Dashboard Name' .
The report location is : /shared/Sample store/Report Folder/Report Name
Can we directly call the report without going to Dashboard as I have tried in above HTML statement.
Thanks!

hi,
Create a static view with the following code which will directly open report not the dashboard,if u want you can make the input type as button,I guess we will not get the dynamic report name as your
The report location is : /shared/Sample store/Report Folder/Report Name
The alternative if any user click on that "TEXT" it will take you to that report
{p}
Here, the report 'Report Name' is in the dashboard 'Dashboard Name' .
To edit the report
{input type="text" value ="Report Location is :"
onclick="window.location='saw.dll?Answers&ItemName=Bench To Individual - Help&Folder=/shared/Sample Sales/02 History and Benching&LocItemName=Bench To Individual - Help'"}
{P}
Hope this helps you
PS: Replace {} with <> codes
thanks,

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;

Calling a report from a report (10g)

Hi
I am using DeveloperSuite 10g and Application Server 9.0.4 - I am trying to call a report from another report.
I believe I am correct in thinking that as buttons don't exist in reports any more I have to use a hyperlink containing the URL to the reports service with appropriate parameters to invoke the required report.
My problem is that when I click on the hyperlink I do not see the called report, but get an html screen saying "Oracle Report Status - Successfully run".
My hyperlink is formed like this:
/reports/rwservlet?module=reportb.rdf
Is there an additional parameter I must pass to get the report to display on the client browser window?
Thanks

Hi,
Can someone let me know as to what the maximum length of the URL string that could be formed? I believe in IE browser a maximum of 64,000 characters can only be formed. If I need to pass many parameters and the length of the values passed exceeds the default length in IE, the rest of the values will not be captured in the report server.
Please let me know on how to proceed with this problem.

Calling a report from a web form & specifying PDF format

Has anyone been able to call a report from Oracle Forms (6i or 9i) in a web browser (i.e. by pressing a button or any other link)? We are having problems generating the report in PDF format when we web deployed our forms. In client server mode it works fine with the report deferring to PDF. But in the web browser it reverts to a messy HTML format with the columns being distorted. Running a standalone report from the web is no problem but when it is linked with a form it goes back to HTML. In the old forms (5.0) we used a function like run_product but I am not sure what the problem is in the new environment.
T.J.

Hello,
According to the way the reports is launched, the format of the reports output depends on the
variables : FORMS60_REPFORMAT (for Forms 6.0 and 6i)
Two others variables are used : FORMS60_OUTPUT and FORMS60_MAPPING.
Can you check the variable FORMS60_REPFORMAT ?
regards Dennis:
Thanks for the info. Your suggestion of changing the windows registry setting FORMS60_REPFORMAT to 'PDF' worked! I did not have to make any other changes to the form. I left the run_product format as is in the form and it worked like a charm. When we eventually migrate to Oracle Reports/Forms 9i we will look into using run_report_object. But for now we will stick with Oracle Forms6i. There was no need to alter the other registry settings FORMS60_MAPPING and FORMS60_OUTPUT since I followed the instructions of setting the virtual directories (symbolic links) when I installed the forms and reports services.
Thanks again for your help!

Regarding tutorial of how to call Oracle Reports from APEX

Hi,
I'm trying to call Oracle Reports from APEX using this tutorial.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_integrate_oracle_reports.html
But in the step of 'Create the Oracle HTML DB Application', 'OE' doesn't appear in the LOV of Existing Schema, even though the sample schema exists in the schema and they are unlocked. And when I type 'OE' directly without using LOV, and press Next, the message 'Schema is reserved or restricted' appears.
How can I create the workspace based on OE schema?

Hello Shohei,
I know your following the tutorial, but if you want to call oracle reports from apex it is quite easy though if your working with oracle reports 9i or higher. Just create an html region and put in the source the html code for referencing an url like to_report
Or reference the same url from a button placed on the HTML region
(you can create a package that would create the whole URL and returns it as a string, easier for scalability)
Hope this can help you to (tutorial is good but try and learn from scratch is also good ;-) )

**How to call a report from a form by passing a specfic value?????

Hi Expert,
I want to call a report from a form.My problem scenario like, a user is login to his account and there is a option called ADMIT CARD(Push Button).Now when he pressed the button a report will generate.I want that when he pressed the button the user id of the user will passed to the report and the report will generate corresponding to his details which was stored in the database.This scenario is like any online admit card.
Suppose I want a details report of employee whose employee_id=100.How could I pass this value(employee id) to report which will generate a report details.

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 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

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.

CALLING A REPORT FROM FORMS (PROBLEM)

MY PROBLEM IS THE NEXT:
I CREATED A MASTER-DETAIL REPORT CALLING 'ASUNTOS'WITH THE NEXT QUERY:
SELECT ABOGADOS.APELLIDO_P,ABOGADOS.APELLIDO_M,ABOGADOS.NOMBRES,
ASUNTOS.EXP_INT,ASUNTOS.MATERIA,ASUNTOS.GERENCIA,
ASUNTOS.EMPRESA,ASUNTOS.RECLAMA,ASUNTOS.PESOS,
ASUNTOS.DOLARES
FROM ABOGADOS,ASUNTOS
WHERE ABOGADOS.FICHA = ASUNTOS.F_ABOG
AND ASUNTOS.F_ABOG = :ABOGADO ;
-- ABOGADO = PARAMETER.
THIS REPORT WORKS FINE THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I TRY CALL THIS REPORT FROM FORM I'VE USE A BUTTON(WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED) WITH THE NEXT CODE:
DECLARE
LISTA PARAMLIST := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('ABOG');
BEGIN
IF ID_NULL(LISTA) THEN
LISTA := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('ABOG');
ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'PRINTER');
ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER,'LPT2');
ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'ABOGADO',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR(:ASUNTOS.F_ABOG));
-- ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'YES');
END IF;
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,'ASUNTOS',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,LISTA,NULL);
END;
BUT THE REPORT NOTHING DISPLAY.
THERE ARE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CODE IN THE BUTTON

Roberto,
Does your report work when it is not called from Forms?
try the following:
[TOOLS_HOME]\BIN\RWRUN60 module=ASUNTOS destype=screen userid=<username>/<password>@<tns> ABOGADO=<some_valid_code>
where TOOLS_HOME is the directory where Reports is installed.
I can see nothing wrong with your code.
Maybe some error in the query?
Also, I would check for the existence of multiple ASUNTOS report definitions. Maybe Forms is calling an older one.
Hope this helps,
