Calling textfile from Java problem

I have a problem reading from a textfile. I have a set of 20 questions, that are stored in a textfile. When Java calls the textfile it opens up the questions in a dialog box. My problem is that it is only reading the first 10 questions, the other 10 isn't reading them. Can someone pls help me figure ou my problem? Thanks a lot.

Calling report with no parameters from a form should report be a JSP file?

Hi,
I'm completely new to the Oracle environment and am having a few beginner problems all I want to find out is how to call a report from a form. I know this question has been asked before but I can't work it out from the answers because people seem to keep talking about rdf files:
I am trying to call the report with the following code:
Declare
     report_id REPORT_OBJECT;
     v_rep varchar2(100);
     rep_status varchar2(20);
Begin
     report_id:= FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('EmployeeRep');
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
END;
My report is called 'EmployeeRep' but it saves it as a JSP file and there is no option to save as an rdf as is mentioned in other posts. I can understand the environments confusion because there is no directory information with the find_report_object command. Does the report have to be stored in a certain directory.
All I have done with the report is created it from the emp table of the sample Scott database. Any help is appreciated and nothing is too obvious as I say I'm completely new to this.
Thanks
Dan

Try to pinpoint what is going wrong:
1. Run the report stand alone (from Reports Builder). If that doesn't work, then it won't work calling it from Forms either.
2. Check if anything has run at all, or if there are report error messages with:
http://localhost:port/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?
For a standalone Report Server use:
http://localhost:port/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=rep_server_name
3. If it does work, call it from Forms. Is the report output file created (e.g. in the cache directory if destype=cache)? In your code you have run_report_object, but you won't see any output on your screen. To see the output add web.show_document(...) to your report. There are many examples in this forum if you search for run_report_object.

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.

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,
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 :

Crystal Report - problem with passing parameters from J2EE app

i'm trying to pass a few parameters from my java application to a crystal report using the code below:
ParameterField pfield1 = new ParameterField();
ParameterField pfield2 = new ParameterField();
Values vals1 = new Values();
Values vals2 = new Values();
ParameterFieldDiscreteValue pfieldDV1 = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();
ParameterFieldDiscreteValue pfieldDV2 = new ParameterFieldDiscreteValue();
pfieldDV1.setValue("1056");//dform.getSelectedPeriod());
pfieldDV1.setDescription("termId");
vals1.add(pfieldDV1);
pfield1.setReportName("");
pfield1.setName("@p_termId");
pfield1.setCurrentValues(vals1);
fields.add(pfield1);
// check here for null condition otherwise will throw nullpointerexception
pfieldDV2.setValue("elect");
pfieldDV2.setDescription("allocType");
vals2.add(pfieldDV2);
pfield2.setReportName("");
pfield2.setName("@p_allocType");
pfield2.setCurrentValues(vals2);
fields.add(pfield2);
this report calls a stored procedure (sql server). the report displays the data but the same is not the case when i call ity from my java application. with a single parameter it works fine (even though i get a "Some parameters are missing values" ERROR on the console. But when i pass, say 2 parameters, it give me the above error first and then "JDBC Error: Parameter 2 not set or registered for output"
Can anyone bail me out of this one?
thanks,
ptalkad

I don't know about naming conventions, but could the @ signs in the variable names cause a problem?
How have you set up the mapping in Crystal?
Is this parameter 2 an "out" parameter returning a value?
What version of Java are you using?
Version of Crystal?
What JDBC driver?

Calling Report From Oracle Forms

Hi
I am calling this one report from oracle forms, I am using global temporary table to run that report. I am first inserting data into the temporary table through oracle form and then i am calling report in that form to view the data in that temporary table. The problem is, we can not view the data of an other session if we are using temporary table. When i call report from that form a new session get created due to which i can not see the data. Is there any method of calling report from oracle form that a same session is used to run the report?
Thanks.

As you mention Forms and Reports do not share the database session. I had the same problem and resolved it using record groups and DATA_PARAMETER to transfer data from Forms to Reports. You could also read the Note 110495.1 on Metalink to find useful information regarding this issue.

Urgent: Calling Reports from Oracle Forms 10g (10.1.2.0.2) fails

Problem displaying a report from within Oracle 10g forms.
After a lot of work, we are able to access and actually display a report directly from Internet explorer and view the report from the report server as well.
The successful url was:
http://york.vrc.virginia.gov:7778/reports/rwservlet
?report=/u01/app/oracle/produ ct/vrcmidtier/reports/vrc/pmw41051.rdf
&userid=vrcpr/vrcpr@vrctest&destype=cache&desformat=HTML
The form displays correctly back to the screen
When executing from within the form, however, the report runs but does not display back to the screen.
Forms Steps so far:
created a report object called pmw41050
static parameters are:
file name: /u01/app/oracle/product/vrcmidtier/reports/vrc/pmw41051.rdfination format
execution mode: batch
communication mode: synchronous
destination name; null
destination format: HTML
reportserver:: vrc_york_midtier
Built a when button pressed trigger as follows:
declare
l_report_file varchar2(200);
l_report_id REPORT_OBJECT;
l_report_status varchar2(200);
begin
-- capture the report
l_report_file := 'pmw41051';
l_report_id := find_report_object(l_report_file);
-- set the parameters for this output
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, CACHE);
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'PDF');
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_SERVER, 'rep_york_vrcmidtier');
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_OTHER, 'PARAMFORM=NO');
set_report_object_property(l_report_id, REPORT_DESNAME, 'DESNAME');
-- and run the report
l_report_status := run_report_object(l_report_id);
-- monitor progress
while l_report_status in ('RUNNING', 'OPENING_REPORT', 'ENQUEUED') loop
l_report_status := report_object_status(l_report_status);
end loop;
message('back from the report'); -- test message for return
end;
The report executes without error (as indicated by the message on the last line) but does NOT display back to the screen
checking the rwservlet/showjobs verifies the report completed and the reportcan be displayed from there.
So, bottom line: how to make a 10g form call report and display it on the screen?

Thanks MIke for your feedback...
Will this surfice?

Retrieve WRITE statements of a called report from a caller one: howto?

Hi experts, need an help for a (imho) quite interesting task. I have a little report that works on a single purchase order and , at the end of the execution, prints on screen a simple message using a WRITE statement. (something like "PO number X processed with/without errors", and eventually other lines showing a specific error).
Now, I'm just creating a "caller" report that gets po numbers from an input file, and process them one by one; a really simple task, but considering I'd like not to modify the original "called" program, I'm wondering about how to get messages in order to print them on screen at the end of the loop.
I tried something as follows (note: it_orders is an internal table containing my po numbers):
LOOP AT it_orders.
    CLEAR listobject. "TYPE TABLE OF ABAPLIST
    SUBMIT MY_CALLED_REPORT
      WITH num_ctr = it_orders-ebeln
      WITH flag = flag
      EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY AND RETURN.
* read from memory
    CALL FUNCTION 'LIST_FROM_MEMORY'
     TABLES
       LISTOBJECT = LISTOBJECT
     EXCEPTIONS
       NOT_FOUND = 1
       OTHERS     = 2.
    LOOP AT LISTOBJECT INTO wa_list.
      APPEND wa_list TO FINALLIST.
    ENDLOOP.
ENDLOOP.
FORMAT INTENSIFIED COLOR = 1. "heading
WRITE: 'RESULTS'.
SKIP.
* write to output
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_LIST'
* EXPORTING
*   WRITE_ONLY       = 'X'
   TABLES
     LISTOBJECT       = FINALLIST
   EXCEPTIONS
     EMPTY_LIST       = 1
     OTHERS           = 2.
But... it doesn't work. The above code only shows the message of the first order processed, but I can't understand why. Can somebody give a "clean" way to solve this issue? It would be helpful in many cases similar to the one I'm working on
Thanks in advance

Thanks *DP, it almost worked for me. There's a little problem anyway; the first row in the output screen is the one of the last call of the REPORT called by a submit. To show it clearly, here's an example: suppose I've got 4 purchase orders to process, stored in an itab 'po_table': 300000001, 300000002, 300000003 and 300000004.
Then the output of the trace is the following:
Cancellazione totale dal DB
PO 3000001145 processed correctly.
10.03.2009
PO 3000001143 processed correctly.
10.03.2009
PO 3000001144 processed correctly.
10.03.2009
PO 3000001145 processed correctly.
10.03.2009
As you can see, the original output of the last call of the 'inner' report is visible on top. How can I suppress the output of the called program in order to avoid this replication? Thanks in advance.
Nvrmind, my fault. Works correctly now, thanks

     add_parameter(pl_id2,'mois',TEXT_PARAMETER,:mois);

v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT('My_report',pl_id2);
message(v_rep);
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
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver','_blank');
ELSE
message('Error when running report');
END IF;
end;
the problem I've remarqued is that the function message(v_rep) is always returning the value :'repserver_0'.
so when I execute the previous code I'm getting the 2 messages : 'repserver_0' and 'Error when running report'.
Rq: the report my_report is running very well in report builder.
does someone see where is the problem so can help me??
thanx.

Hi,
This usually happens when the report fails on the report server. To obtain details on why a particular report has failed, use the showjobs page :
http://server.domain:PORT/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=repserver
and check the detailed error occured.
This is logged as Bug:3017948. It is marked to be fixed in version 9.0.4 (Reports 10g) and also has one-off patches for version 9.0.2.3 on Windows platforms. If you need further assistance about patches, please raise a Service Request (SR) with Support via Metalink (http://metalink.oracle.com).

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

Call Report from Report

Dear friends,
Any body know abt the script or process to call report from report.

Hi,
I have been able to call Report from Report using the hyperlink.
I put these code in my Field on the Report caller.
function F_3FormatTrigger return boolean is
temp varchar2(2000);
begin
temp := 'http://<computer_name>:8889/reports/rwservlet?';
temp := temp || 'server=repsrv' || '&' ||
                     'report=C:\MyReport\rep_detail.jsp' || '&' ||
                     'userid=scott/tiger@orcl' || '&' ||
                     'desformat=htmlcss' || '&' ||
                     'destype=cache' || '&' ||
                     'P_1=' || :ItemID || '&' ||
                     'P_2=' || :ItemName;
SRW.Set_Hyperlink(temp);
return (TRUE);
end;The hyperlink showed, and I can see the rep_detail.jsp showed in the same browser after I clicked the hyperlink.
The problem is, the hyperlink has to include the reports path and also userid and password.
If I did not put the userid and password, it will showed in another browse that
"The report has uncompiled PL/SQL"
How can I hide those userid, password, and the reports path?
BTW, Is there anyway to show the report callee in different page from the report caller?
Any help would be grateful.
Many thanks,

Sudarshan,
Q1 ) My quetion is how i can get web html report with cell background and cell border using Report6i calling from forms 6i.
Reports6i does not support cell background colors in html format. Htmlcss in Reports does render table borders, but it does so in the color that is assigned to teh table in teh building environment
Q2 ) MY forms 6i service always get hagged after 2..3 hr, when restart it, i get my form in a browser. but again after some time my service get in some invalid state, how i can solve this problem.
This is hard to answer via the forum as it may have platform dependencies. If this is a serious issue then I recommend consulting Oracle customer support.

Hide UserID, Password, and Report Path when call Report from Report

Hi,
Thanks for the answers.
Yet, I am still doubt about using cgicmd.dat.
I have looked around in this forum saying that it is not secure to use cgicmd.dat. Because all report request does not use authentication (the client can directly open report without login).
In Form, I can use the On-Logon to do the Oracle Form login (to do logon to the database), and then I use my own custom user login to restrict the menu for each user.
I do this since I want to restrict the user,
i.e user A can only view the sales form as well as sales report,
user B can only view the purchasing form as well as purchasing report.
Well, I am not so fond about the SSO itself.
It comes to my mind, since I don't have to re-login (to the database) each time I call another form (login database is only once at the first Form, On-Logon). It also goes to when calling the report caller.
What is RAD?
How can we use it?
Is OID = Oracle Internet Directory?
If true, maybe, I won't use it since I don't understand about it also.
Why we don't have to specify the userid and password when Form calls Report1 (using Run_Report_Object and Web.Show_Document())?
But we have to specify the userid and password when Report1 calls Report2.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Hi,
i've changed to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT as your advice and followed the instructions in "Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility - An Oracle Technical White Paper December 2000". i tested orarrp by created the HTML file follow the steps in page 5 of the paper, it worked.
then i modified existed form, set report object property like this :
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE, FILE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESNAME,'test.rrpa');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,'Rep60_NTSERVER2');
note : i'm not sure that i set the right value for REPORT_SERVER property, i got this value from TNSNAMES.ORA file.
then call the report with this statement :
:GLOBAL.ReportHandle := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
it showed the same error message :
"REP-3002 Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed."
i think i set something wrong, but i don't know where. could you help me ?
