Calling Forms/Reports from a button

How to call a Report or a Form which had been developed using the Wizard from a button created in a region of a page flow?
National Steel

There are two ways to achieve this.
1) Assign a URL for the button to redirect to. You will have to use the f?p syntax to do this, so for example, if your FlowID is 100 and your page ID is 4, you could redirect to:
f?p=100:4:&SESSION
Note the use of the substitution variable for the user's session.
2) Create a branch that is fired by the button when the page is submitted. A branch is an instruction that tells the Flow which page to go to next. You only need to specify the page ID which has your form or report on it when you create the branch.

  • **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.
    Thanks,

  • 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,

    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');

    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,

  • 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!

  • Calling a report from forms

    Hello
    i have a problem with calling a report from a form.
    i use the following statement in the when-button-pressed trigger:
    Run_Product(REPORTS, report.rdf',ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, '', null);
    in the reports background engine i get the error
    REP-0110: Unable to open file 'report.rdf'.

    the file report.rdf is in the same folder as the form calling it
    where is the problem
    thanks
    Marjan

    Hi Marjan,
    The problem seems to be that the report is not in a directory
    listed in the reports60_path. Add the directory into your reports60_path
    and check if it solves the problem.

  • Calling report from a button based on parameters

    Hi,
    I want to call a report from a custom button based on some parameters. Suppose
    I have a form based on dept table and I have created a custom button which
    should take the value of the selected deptno and pass as a parameter to the
    report to get all the info from the emp table against that deptno.
    Thanks

    Report:
    You need to create a SQL report with a bind variable. Then you can take a look at the call interface from the "Manage" Screen of your report to find out how to pass parameters to it.
    Form:
    To get the required value from the form, make use of p_session in the Custom PL/SQL handler code, then form the URL of the report and call it using <portal_schema>.wwa_app_module.set_target. Take a look at this post: Problems installing 9iAS 9.0.3

  • 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

  • Help me in using RUN_PRODUCT to call a report from form

    Hi GURUs
    I am trying to call a report from a form.
    I enter hiredate as input parameter in the form and click the 'run report' button.
    The hiredate value will be sent to report via pl_id, TEXT_PARAMETER,:CTL.TXT_DT as shown below in when button pressed trigger
    DECLARE
    pl_id ParamList;
    BEGIN
    pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
    Add_Parameter(pl_id,'HRDATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:CTL.TXT_DT);
    Run_Product(REPORTS, 'C:\empreport.RDF', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
    END;
    Coming to report side its a simple query select * from emp where trunc(hiredate) > trunc(:hrdate);
    I created 'hrdate' user parameter in the report
    The problem is when I run the form it calls report and shows the report parameter form with the carried value. now I have to run report again.
    How do I supress this paramenter form because when I am sending value from form I dont have to see the parameter form at the report.
    I dont know how to use paramform = no with RUN_PRODUCT
    Please tell me what to do it....
    Thanks

    Looking at the Forms documentation it specifies, "To run a report from within a form, you must use the dedicated report integration built-in RUN_REPORT_OBJECT." The RUN_PRODUCT built-in is used to run the Graphics product. I suggest you give RUN_REPORT_OBJECT a try. This is how we call a report from a form.
    Hope this helps.

  • 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='&#0124; &#0124;l_dept;
    go(l_url);
    end;

    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.
