Calling reports in forms through menu

hi
can anybody tell me how to call reports in forms through menu
i just forgot how to call...
exact menu item code!!
rgds,

Hi,
Just use in-builts RUN_REPORT_OBJECT or RUN_PRODUCT. It is recomended to use teh RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. For more help see the built-in help of forms. In code on menu write all the code for passing parameters to report by making a parameter list and passing it to report when calling it.
Help in forms for RUN_REPORT_OBJECT will clarify your all doubts.

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.

Thank you for your replay.
The problem have solved.
This my step :

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-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

Call report under form 10g

how I call report under form 10g from Push Button trigger without haveing Oracle Application Server ? is there any way to do so ?
Thanks

You use the run_report_object. See the help file for information on how to use it.
By the way, you must use the Application Server to use Forms. It's an integral part of Forms.

Calling report from form on which IDS 10g is installed

Dear All,
I have a form which calls a report. I am able to run this form and report from my application server 10g. But before deploying it on the server I would like to test it from my pc where Developer suite 10g is installed. i.e running a report from the form in on IDS client pc. I have made changes in formsweb.cfg and default.env file. I am starting a report server from the command prompt using rwserver server=rep_oraclag_OraBi. But when I run the report it says that unable to run report.
Regards
Trusha

Dear All,
Thanks for the reply. I am able to run my report from the form through my application server which is installed on Linux. My question is how to run report on the development PC where IDS 10g is installed. Before deploying it on the server, I would like to test it from my development PC. Is there anyway I can do this? I have started on temporary report server using rwserver server=server_name. I have set path in formsweb.cfg and default.env. But when I run report from the form it says unable to run report. I am able to run all my forms on my development pc. But not able to run any report.

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 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;
dummy NUMBER;

-- 1 get the Server App for .PDF files
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);

iArgPos:= instr(vcCommand,'%1');
if iArgPos = 0 then --no substitution Var on the command line
vcCommand := vcCommand||' '||vFile;
else
vcCommand := substr(vcCommand,1,(iArgPos-1))||

end if;

win_api_shell.winexec(vcCommand);

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.

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

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\".

Urgent: Getting FRM-41211 when calling reports from forms for first time.

Hi,
We are running into the FRM-41211 error, when the users try to call a report from a form. The report is called from a form in SYNCHRONOUS mode. This is the only report that is being called. No other report is
running at that time when the users get this error. This is happening only the first time when they try to call the report from the form. After getting this error, when they click on OK, and when they try to call this
report again, the report works fine.
Any ideas?? It's urgent...
Thanks
Vamshi.

Maybe try to use "run_report_product"?
