Calling Forms 6i from Reports 6i. Is this possible. Run Product in Reports

Re: Calling Forms 6i from Reports 6i. Is this possible?
Hello,
I have need programming in Oracle 9.x and using Forms and Reports for about 1.5 years. My ERP application calls a report from a form. I DO NOT have source code for the FORM. But, I DO have source code for the Report. So, from the Report 6i, I would like to call an Oracle Form 6i. Note: Not WEB based. My question is, IS THIS POSSIBLE. I can not find a command like Run Product in Report for calling a Form Application. Can someone please help me. I am under the gun to have this ready in a couple of days. Can I call an Active X Application from Reports..if Oracle Forms DOES NOT WORK. This needs to be a Form Application because of the nature of this request.
Thank you
Dennis

Thank you
...the ERP vendor based on a form icon button will call a report. They will pass a TAG_NUMBER from a database record (that they just inserted) to the report. This tag_number will link to other tables and will display the report. The problem is ??..there is additional information that the user needs to scan into the database BEFORE the report runs. This is part of the business work flow.
I have options.
1) Get the ERP Vendor to call a FORM based on the name I provide to them.(Not really an option since they are unwilling to make custom mod changes.)
2) Have the user key into the REPORTS PARM FORM. And I will update the tables...
3) Call an Active OCX popup FORM from Reports and then update tables. Is this possible from Reports???..I am not sure if I like to introduce ms vb into an oracle application. It just does not seem to be a correct solution/procedure.
4) Pay the ERP Vendor as a custom mod to make the changes for us. (unlikely because they do not like making custom mod changes)
5) ....any more ideas/comments please let me know..
Thank you Again
Dennis Aubrey

  • How can I Call the MainVI from its SubVI, and this happen recursively?

    Hi All,
    How can I Call the MainVI from its SubVI, and this happen recursively?
    Actually, LAbView 7.1 doesn't support recurssion?
    Plz help me out!

    Dear GerdW,
    Thanks a lot 2 all of u guys,for all the brilliant responses.
    Actually, my basic aim is to call the Main VI, containing a SubVI.....
    Now, I want to call my main VI from this SubVI...recursively!!!!!..but whenever I tried to put the MainVI in this SubVI..an error message pops out saying recursive calling is not possible.
    I also tried using "Call by reference" but tht also didn't worked...an d error is somewat like...VI is invalid..or type matching..or state matching error.
    Here, Im attaching the snapshot of the MainVI... Im calling the SUBvi from it... It is running GOOD n FINE...
    But prob arrives when I call the Main from the SUBvi, which looks like same as MainVI(with little differences).
    I hope, Im clear in my words n not being ambigous.
    Plz, correct me where ever  im wrong.
    Thank You.

    Hello chickenrob,
    Indeed, this can be done with Home Sharing. The article linked below details how to set it up.

  • I want to have a unique reference appear on the footer of each printed version of a pdf printed from my website - is this possible?

    I want to have a unique reference appear on the footer of each printed version of a pdf printed from my website - is this possible? If so which version of Adobe do i need?

    If you want it to maybe happen some of the time, if people use the right browser and software and system, you can use JavaScript.
    If you want it to happen reliably, you need server software to add the stamp before the file is served, integrated into your web site's CGI/ASP/PHP or whatever. Probably not an option with shared hosting.

  • IOS5.0.1 constant error "iPhone can not make or receive calls.  Restore from iTunes":  I get this message and the phone will no longer work (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range).  help!

    All- I get this message ("iPhone can not make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes" (happend once while on airplain mode and now once while in wifi only area, out of cell range)). iPhone 4.  Newest OS.  Never happened with old OS! Cycling phone on/off does not help.  Ignoring message causes phone to cycle off then on.  After first time this happened, I restored.  Six days later...same problem!  Clearly a new fix is necessary.  Suggestions? 

    I have not tried that...I will look up the process so that I can do it correctly (and still transfer all of my files, contacts, etc).  Any suggestions?  What is the advantage of restoring as a new device..is this more akin to a complete wipe of a hard drive?

  • From 6i to 10g "How to run a 10g report from OEM scheduler"

    We recently converted all of our 6i form and reports to 10g. We had forms and reports running as batch processes.
    Now that we are using 10g it is understood that we cannot run the forms as we did in 6i using OEM scheduler, so they were converted to scripts.
    Our problem still remains, How do we run 10g reports as batch processes?
    Can we use OEM scheduler?
    Is there a better product to accomplish this task?

    Hello,
    How do you execute your Reports ?
    Do you execute it from the Builder ?
    If you execute it from the Builder, do you use Run Web Layout or Run Paper Layout ?
    (If you have upgraded a Reports From 6i, there is no web layout , so you have to use the Run paper Layout
    The web layout is something new that appeared in Reports 9.0.2)

  • I need to load an InfoCube from an InfoSet - Is this possible in 2004s?

    Greetings,
    <b>This question looks long, but it's really not.  I'm just trying to give a lot of detail about the screens that I am seeing.  Anyway, here goes:</b>
    I am in 2004s.  I want to load an InfoCube from an InfoSet.  I know that an InfoSet is just a view and does not physically store data, but recent documentation published by SAP seems to indicate that this is
    possible in 2004s (There is a document called "Developer Guide - 2004s" that says the following:
    "InfoSets are an additional, easily manageable data source for generic data extraction.  They allow you to use logical databases of all SAP applications, table
    joins, and further datasets as data sources for BI".  ) 
    So... that led me to believe an InfoSet could load an InfoCube.  In other words, the InfoSet would be the source and the InfoCube would be the target.  I am in RSA1, and I right-click on the cube that I want to be the target.  I select the "Create Transformation" option from the context menu.  In the "Create Transformation" screen that pops up, I enter "InfoCube" in the target object type field and the name of the InfoCube in the target name field.  I enter "InfoSet" in the source object type field and the name of the InfoSet in the source name field. 
    I get a pop-up that says "Cannot generate proposal".  I click the green arrow, and then I get an error message
    that says "Transformation does not exist (see long text)". 
    When I click on the error message, I get the following information in the Performance Assistant:
    "Transformation does not exist (see long text)
    Message no. RSTRAN010
    Diagnosis
    The transformation specified by transformation ID , source  and target , does not exist.
    System Response
    The system terminates processing."
    Any help would be much appreciated!  It seems like it must be possible to use an InfoSet as a source in a data load, or else it would not be an option in the "Create Transformation" screen.  ????
    I've also tried right-clicking on the cube and selecting "Create Data Transfer Process".  I enter the same information on this screen: the types and names of the source and target.  Then I get a pop-up that says "Source and target have not been linked with a transformationDo you want to generate a default transformation?".  There are two buttons I can click: one labeled "Yes" and one labeled "Abbrechen".  I choose "Yes", because I have no idea what "Abbrechen" means.
    Then I get the same pop-up from before: "Cannot generate proposal".  I hit the green arrow, and I'm back in the
    "Create Data Transfer Process" screen.  So... I'm stuck in an infinite loop of screens that I can't get out of. 
    If someone could help, I would be grateful!  THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    Thank you so much, Ram!  I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP!
    I am wondering if it possible to manually create a node in RSA6 for the InfoSet.  I tried it by doing the following:
    I went to RSA6 and clicked on the white icon for "Create Node".  I then entered the number "8", followed  by the name of the InfoSet.  (I entered an "8", because all our DataSources seem to start with an "8".  I'm not sure why.) 
    The DataSource now shows up, but when I double-click on it, nothing happens.  When I select it in the hierarchy and then click the icons for "Display" or "Change" or "Check", I just get an error message that says, "You have not selected any DataSources."
    Also, do you know where I can get my hands on the white paper? 
    Thanks again!

  • No Response from Application Web Server - j2ee when running a long report

    Using Oracle Application server, 10.1.2 and a j2ee application which uses Oracle Reports to create pdf report output.
    When a report takes 5 mins or more to be produced, the following error message occurs, ending the session. The report request however does continue to run, and the pdf is eventually
    produced on the server, but the user cannot retrieve it. So I know the report server is still going after getting this error:
    No Response from Application Web Server
    There was no response from the application web server for the page you requested.
    Please notify the site's webmaster and try your request again later.
    I'm assuming this is a timeout setting in a configuration file, but where?
    Thx,
    Tim

    Hi Tim,
    Take Backup of httpd.conf from Oracle_home2(midtier)
    Now Edit httpd.conf, set timeout 1200 ie 20 mins (this depends on you how much time u need to set Note: Values are in seconds)
    Now restart entire Mid tier
    Then run the report again.

  • Creating a print button to print a page from another document - is this possible?

    Hello,
    My company is designing an interactive pdf with indesign with some great navigation on a side-bar. We've made the dimensions of the navigation pages larger than 8.5 x 11. We are constructing a pdf portfolio that contains a printable version of this document and this interactive version. Would it be possible to have a print button in the interactive document that calls up the corresponding page in the printable document and send it to the printer?

    Flash Catalyst does not directly support printing. You are going to have to add that functionality via Flash Builder and writing ActionScripting. I have not worked with the printing capabilities in Flex, so there is not a lot I can offer past this in terms of advice.I would suggest browsing the Flex forums for some guidance on how to assemble your state for the printer.
    Good luck!

  • I wish to permanently block a website from our browsers, is this possible?

    just wondering if it is possible to block a website with no records of it happening

    you can try an add on called blocksite , it does totally block the site :-)
    there is an option to enable warning messages , i think if that is unchecked it will block with no indication , it also has a password option .
    hope this helps :-)

  • Open_form with session causing deadlock after commit is applied in called form

    Hi all,
    i am using forms 10g r2. i have two forms say A and B. I am calling form B from A using open_form built-in with session_mode is set to session. Form opening without error and i can update execute queries and insert records on both forms but.
    Let say i make some changes on form A and then without committing them i am jumping to form B and making some changes here on form B also i commit these changes which i made on form B and here form hangs and i could not do anything. By checking into session table i found that row is locked in the block of form A where i left the changes un-saved. What i think this should not happen because if both the forms are open in separate sessions then why form is placing lock over another opened form changes. I solved this problem when i changed locking mode property of Block at form A to DELAYED. Then it was OK. Is it the default behavior or something is wrong in my forms.

    This is not the kind of problem that lends itself well to a forum like this one. I have never seen this be a plug-in specific problem and I would be very surprised if it turned out to be. Please call Oracle Customer Support and ask them to analyze your problem.

  • Unable to run Oracle Form Builder from Designer 10g

    I am using Windows XP with Oracle Designer 9.0.4.5. From Design Editor, I select Run -> Oracle Forms, nothing happen. I am able to open Form Builder manually (C:\ORACLE\904\bin\ifbld90.exe). After I generated a module (form) from Designer, I have to open the FMB manually from Form Builder. In Designer 9i, I am able to open Form Builder from Designer. Is this a bug for Designer 10g?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Thanks for the response, Suresh,
    I believe this is an installation/configuration issue.
    I installed Oracle Developer Suite 9.0.4, which includes Form Builder, Report Builder, and Designer. System Path contains the ORACLE_HOME (c:\oracle\904\bin). I am able to start Form Builder from DOS command (ifbld90.exe). I am also able to start Report Builder (rwbuilder.exe) and Designer (des2k61.exe) from DOS. I am able to Run Oracle Report Builder from Designer, but just not Form Builder. I also checked the Windows registry settings and they seem alright to me.
    thanks,
