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

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

Hello,
You are mixing 2 separators in the URL : & and +
Use only one separator in the URL :
Example :

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);
vcCommand varchar2(2000);
iArgPos pls_integer;

vcServerApp := win_api_environment.read_registry('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\.PDF','',true);

vcServerApp||'\SHELL\OPEN\COMMAND';
vcCommand:= win_api_environment.read_registry(vcServerTag,'',true);

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.

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\".

FRM-41219 - Cannot able to call reports from form generated in Designer

Hi
I'm trying to call a report from form whit a button generated in Designer 10.1.2.0.2
But I'm getting error : FRM-41219 Invalid report id
I'm tying with a menu but I'm getting the same error.
Please help me

Note 1056653.6
FRM-41219 Cannot Find Report: Invalid ID
Problem Description:
You are getting error: FRM-41219 Cannot Find Report: Invalid ID
Problem Explanation:
The code is using find_report_object and passing a report name to the function.
The statements are as follows:
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('report1');
END;
Solution Explanation:
The error message frm-41219 is a new error code which corresponds to the
Oracle Developer forms/report integration.
This message essentially means that the report cannot be found. Specifying the
correct name of a report object found in the forms object navigator (not the
actual name of the rdf file) usually resolves the problem.

Calling reports from forms...i have 10 days left to find a solution please!

here is the scenario
i connect to a oracle 9i server from home. i use winxp and 9i Developer to create database applications. when i need to run forms i have to start an OCJ4 Instance, i have a problem though....
i need to run a report from a form and have tried the following methods:
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object('rptRequest');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_DESTYPE, SCREEN);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);*/
END;
this results in REP-0503 "You did not specify the name of a report"
i have also tried:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://localhost:8888/reports/server=repSRV&report=rptRequest.rdf&desformat=pdf&userid=user/pass@ORASERV&paramform=no');
but this display page cannot be found.
Where is the report server i should be pointing to?
thanks for your help

Michael,
the default Reports Services is started by a request to the Reports Servlet "rwservlet". To run Reports from Forms I suggest to install the Reports Services as a separate process that can be controlled by a Windows Service
iDS Home\bin rwserver -install <Reports Services name you want to use>
This creates a Windows Service for you that starts/stope the Reports Server. In Forms you use set_report_object_property() built-in to set the Repors services name to teh one specifie when installing the Reports Services process. Alternatively you can set the name in teh Report node property palette.
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_DESTYPE, SCREEN);
This is not a valid option when running a report on Reports Services. Try destype CACHE and set the desformat to either HTML, HTMLCSS or PDF.
Read http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/frm9isrw9i.pdf and 10 days no longer should be a problem.

FRM - 41219 CANNOT FIND REPORT INVALID ID - CALLING REPORT FROM FORM

I am using Developer Suite 10g (forms 9i, reports 9i) . windows XP.
I am using the following code in WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED-PRESSED trigger in form to call report.
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(20);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object('C:\EMP.RDF');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
END;
as as result It is displaying FRM - 41219 CANNOT FIND REPORT INVALID ID.
I have used the EMP.JSP also in find_report_object built-in. But there is no difference.
what could be the reason - plz give the solution.
with thanks

Unless you made a mistake and overlooked it, what I suggested should work. Having said that, you did not mention the exact Forms version you are using. There may have been a problem in the version you are using which was corrected in a later release. I tested the example I offered using Forms 10.1.2.3 and it works correctly. Carefully review what you did. Verify that the file actually exists in the file system. Also, I would recommend renaming the file with all lower case letters and referencing it in the form with all lower case letters. Here is the complete code of the form I tested. I will also include the property values from the Report object.
Report1 settings:
Name - REPORT1
Subclass Information -
Comments -
Filename - dummy.rdf
Execution Mode - Batch
Communication Mode - Synchronous
Data Source Data Block - <Null>
Query Name -
Report Destination Type - File
Report Destination Name -
Report Destination Format -
Report Server -
Other Reports Parameters - On the form create the following items in BLOCK1:
Text fields:
<li>SERVERNAME
<li>REPNAME
<li>OTHERPARAMS
Button:
<li>CALL_REP
In the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger add this code:
Declare
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep varchar2(256);
rep_status varchar2(256);
Begin
   repid := find_report_object('REPORT1');
-- Set Report Object properties
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_DESTYPE, CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'HTML');
-- Comm mode 1 = SYNCHRONOUS
-- Comm mode 2 = ASYNCHRONOUS
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_COMM_MODE, 1);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_SERVER, :block1.SERVERNAME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_FILENAME, :block1.REPNAME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,:block1.otherparams);
SYNCHRONIZE;
-- Run report and get status
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
SYNCHRONIZE;
-- Wait for Reports to generate results
    WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
    LOOP
      rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
    END LOOP;
    SYNCHRONIZE;
-- If DESTYPE is appropriate for displaying to user, execute WEB.SHOW ;
    IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
      WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server='||:block1.SERVERNAME,'_blank');
    ELSE
      message(rep_status);
    END IF;
END; When you run the form, enter the Report Server name and the Report filename (include the path if you have not configured REPORTS_PATH). Then click on the button. Note that the substr logic may need to be altered slightly if you are using an old version of Forms/Reports.

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.
