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.
PROCEDURE OPEN_PDF(vFile IN VARCHAR2)
IS
vcServerApp varchar2(40);
vcServerTag varchar2(600);

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.

Can any one help ?

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 :
PROCEDURE Call_Report (vFILENAME varchar2) IS
report_id                Report_Object;
ReportServerJob VARCHAR2(100);
vc_rep_status      VARCHAR2(100);

userid                         VARCHAR2(100);
pass                          VARCHAR2(100);
Host                    VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
userid          := Get_Application_Property(USERNAME) ;
pass          := Get_Application_Property(PASSWORD) ;
Host          := Get_Application_Property(CONNECT_STRING) ;
report_id:= find_report_object('REPORT');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_FILENAME,vFILENAME||'.jsp');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,repsvr);
ReportServerJob:=run_report_object(report_id);

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-110: File '/u01/forms/QA_Forms10g/GEMREP.rdf DESTYPE=CACHE DESFORMAT=HTML p_user_id=XYZ p_client=2' not found.
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/

Call dll from my dll

I Have a dll file for my attendance machine
and every thing are ok when I call dll from my exe application
I want to create my own dll which my dll connect to attendance dll and get data from it and then insert data to tables
a second question
is there a method for calling my dll through windows batch file or I must create an exe application calling from it

Let me explain a bit what a VFP DLL is for:
You can only build one type of DLL, an OLE COM Server DLL. It'll mainly contain OLEPUBLIC class definitions, which are then usable in other programming languages. In any programming language capable to make use of OLE COM Server classes.
If your project is named mydll.pjx and a prg or vcx contains a class myclass, the final DLL will have the OLE class "mydll.myclass" in it.
This is overhead, if you use this in VFP. If you want to modularize your application, then create several EXE or build as APP. You can DO some.prg IN some.APP or you can create an object o = NEWOBJECT("myclass","myclasslib.vcx","myapp.app")
to refer to a class inside a vcx compiled and build together with other project files into an app file.
But any separation you do complicates the code use. A DLL is only needed, if some other programming language needs to use your VFP code. And that other programming language has to be able to instanciate classes.
You don't need this, even if other programming languages would be involved. You can compile an EXE and that can be run. If needed with parameters. That's typically much simpler and could even be used by DOS batch files either using the DOS start command
or directly your.EXE as man DOS commands also are merely EXE files.

Call DLL from pl/sql

Hi Every one
I have to call one microssoft dll from the pl/sql using form .
How can I do it.
Prashant

That likely means that the DLL call failed.
Some basics.
A DLL exposes an interface where it lists the names of the proc/func exposed (together with a number/ordinal for each).
The Win32 LoadLibrary() call is used to load a DLL. This returns a handle that is then used by subsequent calls to the DLL.
In order to make the actual call, the caller needs to know the address of the procedure/function in the DLL. The GetProcAddress() is the Win32 call I remember using to get the address to call (but I think it has been deprecated since).
Anyway, for the caller to call that proc/func in the DLL, it needs these steps:
- load that library
- get the "address" of that proc/func in the DLL
- make the call
The DLL is then executed - in the address space of the caller. Yes, the DLL's code segment is loaded once and shared amongst how ever many executables are using that DLL. But the DLL has no data segment - the data segment of the DLL lives in the address space of the caller.
Should the DLL do something dirty/wrong, it can crash the caller by corrupting its address space. Or the DLL call could simply fail, throw an exception and terminate unexpectedly.
This is the basics of the a DLL call - and also why Oracle wants to run that DLL call externally using the EXTPROC interface, so as not to risk that DLL compromising the memory space of the Oracle server process.
This makes it a tad more complex now as the Oracle server process makes a call to EXTPROC (an IPC/RPC call) - and the EXTPROC process makes the DLL call (as described above).
If that EXTPROC process crashes, the call that the Oracle server process made also terminates unexpectedly.
Why can the EXTPROC process crash? Well, there are more meaningful errors returned when the DLL fails to load in my experience. So I expect that your DLL was found and that the EXTPROC process did a successful LoadLibrary() call - and even made a successful GetProcAdress() (or whatever call).
But when the actual call to the DLL func/proc was made, an error resulted (incorrect parameter passing, invalid data types being passed, invalid memory being referenced, etc).
This error caused a fatal error and terminated the EXTPROC process. No meaningful error was therefore returned to the Oracle server process - so it throws the exception "lost RPC connection to external process".
Hope this was not too technical and you got the gist of it.

Calling report from FORM - error Invalid value of paramente 'P_YEAR'

Hi guys,
Could you please help me to figure out what is going wrong
with my form which run a report?
I am using Developer suite 10g.
when i run report from report application it run fine,
but when i call that report from a form it gives me error.
I have checked the datatype, checked the parameter value
that I assign from form is available in the report parameter value.
What else do i have to check in order to run this report
from the form.
Error Message from Report Queue Manager:

Your insight will be appreciated.

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,

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\".

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-0110: Unable to open file 'first_report'.
REP-1070: Object store failure occurred.
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'first_report'.
End report first_report [Fri Aug 08 10:44:16 2003].
Pls do the needful.
