Calling report from form. Need PDF output

I am calling a report from a form using RUN_PRODUCT. I need to display the form in PDF format. When the user clicks the button in the form to run the report, acrobat reader should open up and the report displayed there. Please help.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. The first part worked. I am able to get the output in PDF format. In the 2nd part where I want to open acrobat and display the output, I am having some trouble with the code. When I compile, it says
win_api_environment.read_registry must be declared. Is there some package I need to attach?
Also, in the After reports trigger, how do I pass vFile (I am assuming this is the PDF file name)?
Thanks
The first thing you'll want to do is pass parameters to the report IE DESTYPE, DESNAME and DESFORMAT where these could be FILE, 'c:\temp\report' and PDF.
Then, you can try this piece of code I wrote (with some help from other people at Metalink and here) sometime back. Now, I call it from forms, but in your case, you'd have to run it in the after report trigger. Since with RUN_PRODUCT you don't know when the report is finished, if you did it from the form, it wouldn't work correctly.

Calling Report From Form To Many Destinations

Hi
I am calling reports from forms using SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY and then run_report_object.
I dont know the destination until runtime of the report which is ok as I can pass this in via my procedure, but if that destination is many ie mail and file what is the best way to distribute the report?
I could call my procedure for each destination but that seems a bit unefficient since the report would be created many times, is there another way?

what about adding a drop-down-list near your report-button where you can choose the destination?
when you click the report-button you simply read the value selected in the drop-down-list and send it to your reports-server too.

Hi,
Thank you for your replay.
The problem have solved.
This my step :
1. Install Windows XP SP2 and Form 10.1.2.0.2 on new pc.
2. Install Jinit version 1.3.1.28.
3. Create report server
3. Compile form, report and pll
4. call report from from with this procedure :

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
http://GEM:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_server&report=/u01/forms/QA_Forms10g/GEMREP.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+DESFORMAT=HTML+p_user_id=XYZ+p_client=2
ERROR

REP-0110: Unable to open file '/u01/forms/QA_Forms10g/GEMREP.rdf DESTYPE=CACHE DESFORMAT=HTML p_user_id=XYZ p_client=2'.
I will really appreciate your help.
Thanks
Sandy

Hello,
You are mixing 2 separators in the URL : & and +
Use only one separator in the URL :
Example :
http://GEM:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_server+report=/u01/forms/QA_Forms10g/GEMREP.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+DESFORMAT=HTML+p_user_id=XYZ+p_client=2

Calling JSP from Forms and going back from JSP to Forms

Hi,
We are calling JSP from Forms 6i using show_document
I'd like to go back to tha calling Form from the JSP.
How can I construct the URL that would lead me back to the same Form and Forms session where the JSP was called from?
Thanks,
Arpad

Thanks Shay,
works for me too...
Now:
when I use the "Back" button of my IE to go back from JSP to the Forms session, it works for Jinitiator 1.1.8.19, but if I use Jinitiator 1.3 I got hung...
Any ideas how could I make it work from Jinit 1.3?
Thanks again/

Integrating Forms and Apex. (Calling Apex from Forms).

Hi all.
We'll soon start an upgrade of our Forms / Reports 6i Application to 11g.
I was wondering, maybe, it would be nice to add some value for the upgrade process as a whole, using some of Apex new features like web mobile interface or maybe an integration between Forms an Apex, for example to provide users with the powerful features of Interactive Reports, just to name one.
I have found this interesting link: http://roelhartman.blogspot.com/2008/11/integrate-oracle-forms-with-apex.html. (not a 100% clear for me, but at least it is a start).
Obviously, to make it attractive, one would expect automatic login between the two Apps. As far as i know, this could be done like this:
1) Using SSO. With that a Portal / Forms / Reports/ Discoverer/ version would be mandatory (too expensive for some clients).
2) Oracle Access Manager? Not sure, can Oracle Forms connect to Access Manager? or LDAP? How about the licensing costs?. Not a clue.
3) Make all Apex pages public? Not feasible.
4) Now this one: in our forms application, every user authenticates within the application and we internally map that application user to an actual database user. At all times we hold metadata info about the current user (app, and DB), as well as application context. So this is my question:
It is possible to create an Apex app, with database authentication method, and somehow pass the metadata from forms, and have a kind of custom login procedure that does all the application to DB user conversion process and application context setting????
This is a very important question for us, although not sure where to really post it...
Feedback will be greatly appreciated .....!
Regards,Luis ....:)=

I did something like that once. What you can do is set some random session id after logging in in Forms. Pass this session id to Apex every time and let Apex check if it is a valid session id.
More information here:
http://sqlcur.blogspot.com/2009/04/forms-apex-integration-2.html
In that example I create a new session id on every call to an Apex page from Forms, but you can use the same session id as long as the user is logged in in Forms.

Getting rep-3002 when calling report from form on web

i am getting rep-3002 when i call report from a form on web environment. Report is in character mode. It is coming proper if i change it to bitmap. but my requirement is of character mode. pl. give some solution.

Hello,
If you are running in WinNT/2000 environment, the NT/2000 user which runs the Report Server service must have a printer defined. In the control panel, look at the properties for the Report Server to see what user it runs as. Log in as that user and make sure a default printer is defined.

Run_Report_Object -- Calling report from Form

Hello:
Where can I find a technical notes on VALID combination of system parameters in calling report using run_report_object from FORMS in 10G?
Not sure what are valid values and combinations. Do we HAVE to pass a REPORT SERVER along with run_report_object? what formats are valid along with destype etc?
Thanks

vikas

Vikas,
So, is your code producing an error when your report is called? Also, it would be helpful to know your Forms and Reports versions. Is ":p_season_year" set up as a USER_PARAMETER (UP) in your report or is it a true lexical parameter (meaning you should reference it with '&' instead of ':')? If it is a UP, the typical way to pass a value to this UP from Forms is to use a ParamList object instead of the REPORT_OTHER parameter of the Set_Report_Object_Property built-in. For example:
DECLARE
   pl_id    ParamList;
   pl_name VARCHAR2(10) := 'REPORT34';
   v_rep VARCHAR2(1000);
   rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
   pl_id := Get_Parameter_List(pl_name);
   IF id_null(pl_id) THEN
      pl_id := Create_Parameter_List(pl_name);
   END IF;
   Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'P_SEASON_YEAR', TEXT_PARAMETER, :SALE_ORDER.SEASON_YEAR);
   repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT( 'REPORT34' );
   v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid, pl_id);
   ... rest of your code here ...
END;Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Calling report from form in Web environment

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating our C/S appication (developed in Developer2k) to intranet using OAS. My question :
a) Is there any other way to call report from a form other than web.show_document?
b) When a report is called from the report server(using web.show_document), a log-in screen comes up unless the login and password is passed as parameter. Only problem with this is the password shows in the URL. Is there any other way to make the call so that the login & password does not show and the user won't have to login a second time to run the report?
Any reply would be appreciated..Thanks

1. Yes you can use run_product package procedure to call reports on web, Oracle documentation says that run_product command will run in web env.
2. Yes you can hide username & password from user, it depends on which method you are using to call reports, if you are using web cgi then add username & password in file "cgicmd.dat" and "oascmd.dat" for web catridge or in cartridge parameter setting you will find this files in directory "\orant\report60\server\".

Calling report from form 4.5

Hi,
I am using Forms 4.5 and Reports 2.5. I've to call a report from the form.
Can anyone throw some light on this?
Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks so much for u r response.
Actually i am trying to call a report developed in 2.5 from forms 4.5. I've used the following built-in
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'first_report', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,NULL,NULL);
I am getting the following message at run time.
Starting report first_report [Fri Aug 08 10:44:15 2003] ...

REP-1070: Object store failure occurred.

Calling Reports From Forms

Hello,
i'm trying to call a Report from a Form but i'm getting the error:
Cannot Get Output of Job ID 91 you requested on Mon Feb 03 14:00:03 BRT 2003.
REP-56033: Job 91 does not exist
I'm using Reports Server 9i (9.0.2.3) and Forms Server 6i.
The PL/SQL to call the report is something like the following:
declare
v_rep_id Report_Object;
v_rep_job_id Varchar2(200);
v_rep_status Varchar2(200);
begin
 v_rep_id := Find_Report_Object('RPT_GENERICO');
 Set_Report_Object_Property(v_rep_id, REPORT_FILENAME, 'plscvnd0013rpt');
 v_rep_job_id := Run_Report_Object(v_rep_id, pLista_ID);
 v_rep_status := Report_Object_Status(v_rep_job_id);
 while v_rep_status in ('RUNNING', 'OPENING_REPORT', 'ENQUEUED')
 loop
 v_rep_status := Report_Object_Status(v_rep_job_id);
 end loop;
 if v_rep_status = 'FINISHED' then
 Web.Show_Document('http://reports.caarj.com.br:7779/reports/rwservlet/getjobid' ||
 substr(v_rep_job_id, 18) || '?server=Rep.caarj.com.br');
end if;
end;
end if;
Destroy_Parameter_List(pLista_ID);
end;
I've already commented out the <security> section, and uncommented the <compatible version="6i"> in <reports_server>.conf file. The rwproxy service is up and running on port 1949 and i'm using SIGLE_SIGN_ON=NO in rwservlet.properties file.
What could be wrong??
Regards,
Marcus Santos.

Jermima,
To call Reports9i from Forms6i it needs to be configured for backward compatibility. this means that your Reports9i server must run as if it was a 6i server.
The following is from an unpublished paper I wrote on this topic:
Using Reports9i with Forms 6i
====================================================
To be able to call Reports9i Services from a Forms6i client, an extra Reports server process must be created. Oracle9iAS Reports Services knows of two kinds of Reports Server processes. The in-process server is started the first time that a Reports is requested from the Web by
the Reports Servlet rwservlet. This Reports Server process cannot be used with Forms using Run_Report_Object and therefore a separate Reports Server process must be started prior to using it.
This can be done by issuing he following command from the Oracle9iAS/bin directory rwserver <servername> batch=yes & (UNIX)or rwserver -install <service name> (WINDOWS)In both cases, the first time that the Reports Server starts, a Reports configuration file <servername>.conf (UNIX) or <service_name>.conf (WINDOWS) is created in the Oracle9iAS/reports/conf directory.
To use Reports9i Services form a Forms6i client, this file needs some editing:
The Reports Sevices configuration file gets created with the first start of the Oracle9iAS Reports Services. The configuration settings in this file determine the runtime behavior of the Reports Services.
Two changes need to be applied to this file to make Oracle9iAs Services work with Forms6i client-server applications. Make sure that the Reports Services process was stopped before opening the Reports Services configuration file, located in the Oracle9iAS/reports/conf directory, with a text editor. The Reports Services configuration file name does apply to the following naming convention.
Separate server process
<ServiceName>.conf
<server>
[1] 
<cache class="oracle.reports.cache.RWCache">
<property name="cacheSize" value="50"/>


</cache>
[2] <security id="rwSec" class="oracle.reports.server.RWSecurity">
<property name="securityUserid" value="tyKAUY845QDO/2vyaGbQw â€¦" confidential="yes" encrypted="yes"/>
</security>
</server>
Change the following entries in the Reports Services configuration file for the Oracle9iAS Reports Services to accept requests from Forms 6i
clients.
[1] Uncomment this line to make Reports9i Services run in 6i compatibility mode. After uncommenting this line it should look similar to this
<compatible version="6i"/>
[2] Remove the <security> </security> tag pair and their included content. This effectively disables the Reports Services access control,
which by default requires a system authentication to be provided by the user to before running a report.
If later you want to recover access control, then all you need to do is to stop the Reports Services, delete the configuration file and start it up
again. This leads to a new configuration file being created. Repeat step [1].
Configure the tnsnames.ora file on the client and the server
For the Forms6i client server application and the Oracle9i Reports Server to know each other, the tnsnames.ora file needs to be edited on
both sides. The tnsnames.ora file to use is located in the Forms6i_Home/net80/admin directory on the client and the
Oracle9iAS/network/admin directory on the server. Add the following entry to both files:
<report_server_name>.<domain>=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=tcp)
(HOST=<hostname of the Reports Server installation>)
(PORT=1950)
The following entry is an example for a Reports Server with the name RepSRV in a â€œworldâ€? domain. Note that the port number of the Reports
Services is defaulted to 1950.
RepSRV.world=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=tcp)
(HOST=<fnimphiu-lap.de.oacle.com)
(PORT=1950)
Rwservlet configuration file
=============================
Calling Oracle9iAS Reports Services from a Browser URL* accesse the reports servlet first, which then routes the request to the server
engine, The Reports servlet rwservlet is configured by a file named rwservlet.properties, located in the Oracle9iAS/reports/conf directory.
Open this file with a text editor and uncomment the following line by remiving the â€˜#â€™ character in front of it.
# SINGLESIGNON=YES
Change the value of this varible to No, so that the whole entry reads
SINGLESIGNON=NO.
Restart the Oracle9i Application Server, restarting the Oracle process monitor service (OPM), for the changes to take effect.
From now on the Reports Services does not require users to provide their single sign-on login password when retrieving the Report output
from the Web, which is one option of getting a Report back to the client.
* Note that you call the Servlet for retrieving the Reports output through web.show_document

Page fault error while calling reports from forms

dear friends.
when a report is called from forms, just before opening up of background engine the application gets hanged with page fault. One has to forcibly shut down the application before loggin again.
The error mesage generated from log file is
Fatal NI connect error 12203, connecting to:

After closing if we run the report next time it runs, but after 3/4 attempts the above error again occurs.
Please Help

I'm getting this also. I thought it was
due to my use of DATA PARAMETER. I've
logged TARS on this and have yet to hear
back from Oracle.
Maybe if enough of us get the error Oracle
will give some guidance on this one.

When calling report from forms, only html format report can show chinese characters

To all experts,
When I run report by calling run_report_object() in forms, only html format can show chinese characters. If I choose pdf format, garbage characters were shown instead of chinese characters. My settings on server are as follows:
NLS_LANG=TRADITIONAL CHINESE_HONG KONG.UTF8
FORMS60_REPFORMAT=PDF
Do you know why? I hope to print report in PDF format as PDF turned out to be more regular in format. Is there any additional settings required?
May experts here broaden my mind?
Richard

You have two different ways of generating Japanese PDF files from Reoprts. One is font aliasing and the other is font subsetting.

You will need to have the following entries in uiprint.txt (example).
[ PDF ]
.....JA16SJIS = "KozMinPro-Regular-Acro"
"MS UI Gothic".....JA16SJIS = "KozMinPro-Regular-Acro"
You may need to download and install Japanese Font Pack from Adobe's web site (if your Acrobat is non-Japanese version).

You will need to add C:\WINNT\Fonts (or wherever your TTF/TTC fonts are installed) to your REPORTS_PATH.
You will also need to have the following entries in uiprint.txt (example).
[ PDF:Subset ]
"Andale Duospace WT J" = "Aduoj.ttf"
"Albany WT J"="AlbanWTJ.ttf"
"MS UI Gothic" = "msgothic.ttc"
