CA Forum: Integrated Solutions
Hello everybody,
We are going to migrate the Oracle Database and the Oracle forms application to 10g to one of our clients but he wants continue using the BO so he is going to migrate BO v 4.1.6 to XI Release 2.
Because I am not a BO specialist I would like to know
Is it possible to publish the BO report on the WEB?
Can I call the report directly from Oracle Forms 10g (WEB) and pass the parameters?
Can you advice any documents related to this topic?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Alex

Alex,
Your first question leads to a "it depends" answer. If you want to publish static content, then the report can be ran and saved as PDF, then that PDF can be made available as a link in another web server. If you want to publish dynamic content, then "no", but read on because you'll see in answer to #2 and #3 it becomes "yes".
Your second question about calling the report directly from Oracle Forms and pass the parameters is a resounding yes! However, you will need to have an enduring knowledge of a concept called "opendocument" within the Business Intelligence tool as well as an authentication strategy to make it all work.
Here is the answer to your third question, please following this link: http://support.businessobjects.com/communityCS/TechnicalPapers/be_xi_r2_opendocument.pdf.asp
Good luck!

Calling Crystal Reports from Oracle Forms 10G

Hi everyone,
I am trying to call a crystal report from Oracle Forms 10G.
I have a button on my Form which when clicked calls a Crystal Report which the uaser then wants to save as a PDf file.
Can someone please send me the code to do this and also the exact steps that are to be followed.
Thanks
Fm.

Hi Andreas,
I am trying to call the crystal report from an Oracle Form using a URL. No batch file is being used here.
I am looking for a peice of code similar to run_product or run_report built in in Oracle which calls an Oracle report from an Oracle Form.
Also I dont want to display the report on a screen or a window in Oracle Forms. I would like it to run just as we run an Oracle Report from an Oracle Form.
Is that possible ? If yes please let me know the steps to do this.
Thanks
Faiz

Calling Java Script to open a Map (Like Google Map) from Oracle Forms 10g

Hello,
We are on Oracle EBS rel 12, Forms 10g. We have a requirement of calling a Custom Map application (Like Google Maps) from Oracle Forms 10g.
When the user enters the address like town, city, country etc and clicks on a button there should be a call to this Google Map like application which will pass the co-ordinates (Latittude, Longitude) to the map and shows the place on it. If the user selects a different location on this maps and closes the window the parameters co-ordinates (Latittude, Longitude) should be back in the calling form and this new location should replace the original location.
I appreciate if I can get some help for the above requirements.
Thank you.
GM

Thank you for your reply. I was reading on the metalink that we could use the to call the java script from oracle Forms 10g (Doc ID 265863.1)
Example:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:void(window.open("http://www.oracle.com","","location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,"));self.close()','_blank');
I tried it but it did not open the any window as it claims. Am I missing anything? Is there any IE related setting which I need to modify for the above to work?
Regards

Calling web service from oracle forms 10g

Problem Description:
I'm following the steps as per the doc:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/10gr2/howto/webservicefromforms/ws_10_1_3_from_forms.html
to create a java stub to call external web service and then use java importer in oracle forms to call this web service from oracle forms.
WSDL for external web service used is http://gend:83/DesignService.svc?wsdl
The service was developed by us.
Calling the web service using JDeveloper works fine but when I complie in Oracle Forms it returns wrong number of types of arguments in call SENDHELLO.
The code from oracle form to call web service is as below:
DECLARE
jo ora_java.jobject;
xo ora_java.jobject;
rv varchar2(2000);
ex ora_java.jobject;
str varchar2(100);
BEGIN
jo := GendServiceClient.new;
rv := GendServiceClient.sendHello('Nora');
EXCEPTION
WHEN ORA_JAVA.JAVA_ERROR then
message('Unable to call out to Java, ' ||ORA_JAVA.LAST_ERROR);
WHEN ORA_JAVA.EXCEPTION_THROWN then
ex := ORA_JAVA.LAST_EXCEPTION;
message(Exception_.toString(ex));
END;
Any help/ideas on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

My primary skill is PL/SQL but the only information I found on Oracle's site to call a web service from a 10g Form was creating a jar file and importing the java class. Since I don't want to ask our corporate IT to make changes on the UNIX box for the jar files I went a different route.
I use UTL_HTTP.BEGIN_REQUEST to call a URL then load I load the data to a table as a CLOB since we have more than 4000 characters. Now I need to parse the XML and load it into a form. I have never done this so if there is a helpful site please let me know. I have looked at several sites but none do what I want.

URGENT!!! calling crystal reports from oracle forms 10g

Is it possible to call crystal reports from oracle forms 10g?
Can someone help to answer how, if there is a solusion, to call crystal reports from oracle forms 10g.
Please provide codes with details showing step by step.
Thanks

hi
try something like this.
DECLARE
charWinHandle VARCHAR2(50);
numWinHandle NUMBER;
BEGIN Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'BUSY');
charWinHandle := Get_Item_Property('Control.Rep',Window_Handle);
numWinHandle := To_Number(charWinHandle);
:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowParentHandle
:= numWinHandle;
:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowState := 2;
:Item('CONTROL.CRYSTALREPORT1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.Connect
:= 'DSN=;UID=' || Get_Application_Property(UserName) ||
';pwd=' || Get_Application_Property(password) || ';dsq=;';
Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface,
'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt' );
Set_Window_Property( Forms_Mdi_Window, Window_State,Maximize );
Set_Window_Property( 'MAIN', Window_State, Maximize );
:reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface );
Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'DEFAULT');
END;NOTE: Change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
the "Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName" method call. Also, the connection string shown
assumes that you will use the current USER and PASSWORD for the Form.
- To make the above Form generic so that you can run any Crystal report from it, then create
a parameter for the report name and pass it to the Form using CALL_FORM from any other Form.
Then just replace the file name with the passed parameter.
-. Run the Form
If its correct/helpful please mark it thanks.

How to open .cmdrw file from Oracle Forms 10g

Hi,
We need to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g. Is there any way to call *.cmdrw* file from Oracle forms 10g?
Thanks for the help.
Viishnu Nekkanti

In case you want to open a .cmdrw with its associated application you can use the following procedure:
webutil_host.NonBlocking( 'rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler ' || client_filename );This works for every file where a program has been associated to its file extension. (Adobe Reader for *.pdf, Microsoft Word for *.doc, Microsoft Excel for *.xls and so on)

How to Call a jasper report from Oracle Forms 6i.

Hi
Can anybody tel me how to Call a jasper report from ORacle Forms 6i.
Thanks & Regards
Bango

Forms 6i client/server? Use the HOST command to call the report. Since a Jasper report is just a call to a url, it will be something like:
v_url := '<your url to the report>';
host ('cmd /c start '||v_url);If it's web Forms 6i it even easier. Just use web.show_document(<url>).

Call a web services from oracle forms 10

I have to call a web services from oracle forms.
The version of the database is oracle 11gr2. the version of the forms is 10.1.2.0.2.
I allready did the proxy creation and the import class within forms.
I have 2 questions:
1.
I created the following procedure:
PROCEDURE call_WS IS
vobject1 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
vobject2 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
BEGIN
vobject1 := WSEvaluarReglaCondicionComerci.new();
vobject2 := WSEvaluarReglaCondicionComerci.listarValoresAtributoEvento(vobject1, 702, 2217, null, null, null);
END;
the function I calling:
FUNCTION listarValoresAtributoEvento(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a1 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a2 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a3 VARCHAR2,
a4 ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT) RETURN ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT;
Note that the parameters is ORA_JAVA_JOBJECT and I need to send numbers. I understand that when I import the classes, because in the WS those parameters are defined as BigDecimal, Forms understand them as java object but when I compile it reports the error: "numero o tipo de argumento erroneo al llamar..." type error.
So the question is, how Cast the numbers to Java Object to send them.
I have read in a web page that one option is to change in the web service the type of the parameters but that is not an option.
2.
The WS returns a super big XML as answer, so how I can parse the result into an Object type?...
The object structure is:
TYPE opciones_obj AS OBJECT
(strindice VARCHAR2 (4000),
nombrecompleto VARCHAR2 (4000),
nombre VARCHAR2 (4000),
strtipodato VARCHAR2 (4000),
codigoopcion NUMBER,
floatval FLOAT,
strtipo VARCHAR2 (4000),
strval VARCHAR2 (4000));
and the tags to extract is:
COLUMNS strindice VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strIndice"]/ns2:value',
nombrecompleto VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="nombreCompleto"]/ns2:value',
nombre VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="nombre"]/ns2:value',
strtipodato VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strTipoDato"]/ns2:value',
codigoopcion NUMBER
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="codigoOpcion"]/ns2:value',
floatval FLOAT
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="floatVal"]/ns2:value',
strtipo VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strTipo"]/ns2:value',
strval VARCHAR2 (4000)
PATH 'ns2:mapEntry[ns2:key="strVal"]/ns2:value') x;
xquery / xmltype aparently is not an option because the xml is too big.
I will appreciate your answers.
Thanks.

Where should I use this function? Should I create a button triggered to link to OA Page?
Appreciate advise on this.

Exception when calling web service from Oracle forms 10g

Hi All,
I am trying to integrate Oracle Forms 10g(V 10.1.2.0.2.) with Web Services.
There is a java class named 'authenticate' which is generated using Oracle JDeveloper.
This class is included in the forms application by using "Import Java Class" feature.
Forms built the following funtion based on that class:
-- Method: authenticate (Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;
FUNCTION authenticate(
obj ORA_JAVA.JOBJECT,
a0 VARCHAR2,
a1 VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
BEGIN
args := JNI.CREATE_ARG_LIST(2);
JNI.ADD_STRING_ARG(args, a0);
JNI.ADD_STRING_ARG(args, a1);
message('here1');
RETURN JNI.CALL_STRING_METHOD(FALSE, obj, 'mypackage/AuthenticatorWebServiceServiceStub',
'authenticate', '(Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/String;', args);
message('here2');
END;
However when the above code is invoked it shows the message 'here1' on the form and then throws the following exception: java.lang.Exception: java.lang.ClassCastException
Please suggest me what's wrong with the code. I appreciate your time and help.
Thanks,
Scott.
