I guess it's designed so that it does not have to reload the Background Engine everytime you run the next report.
Maybe in your case you do not run reports frequently, but in our office report runs are quite often so it's a feature that is quite welcomed.

Closing Reports Background Engine from VB

I have a Visual Basic 6 application that runs Reports 6 reports with the ActiveX control Rwsxa60.ocx. When you close the application, the Reports background engine is still open. Is there a way to close the engine through VB? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

you can not close the RBE from reports as it would require a report to be executed ... i guess you get the problem.
the only way to close the RBE is from forms.
thanks,

Reports Background Engine caused error and had to be closed

"Reports Background Engine caused error and had to be closed"
we are encountering this error when trying to run any report on some machines.with windows 2000.
we tried to login (on the machines having problems) using another windows user,
sometimes it works and sometimes not.
we also tried to reinstall the reports runtime and it never worked.
we have developer 6i, Oracle database 10g express edition.
Does anyone have a solution to this random problem ?
Thanks

dear all
you can pass parameter from form to report to close report server after close report
add_parameter(pl_id, 'oracle_shutdown',text_parameter, 'Yes');
then it will be ok
good luck

Workflow background engine in Oracle inventory responsibility

12.0.6
we have scheduled Po approval and requisition in workflow backgraound engine to run every 5 mins which routes our Po`s and Req
But Workflow background engine has more than 100 item types
what are they all used for..its requests doesnt even have any output
Can someone please explain to me abt it and refer a document too
Thanks alot

>
what you mean by this
We run Po approval and Requisition item types as its needed
Do you mean that we should run all more than 100 item types regularly or what?
Can you please refer me a document for it for my understanding
You are supposed to run the workflow background process for all item types (i.e do not pick a specific item type in the concurrent program submission window). Pl see these MOS Docs
466535.1 - How to Resolve the Most Common Workflow Background Engine Problems

Closing the Background report engine

I use a menu that can call several reports, and when they open, the Reports Background Engine runs. I understand why it is useful to keep this open while the main app is on, but it does not close out automatically when the app closes. Is there a command that will do this?
Thanks,
Sara

I Guess,
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'ORACLE_SHUTDOWN', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'YES') will do (pl_id is the parameter list that you must have created to run each individual report)

How to use Workflow Background Engine in Oracle Apps?

I have created the development of a custom workflow,tested it in Developer studio in Workflow administrator and has been working correctly. I was hoping to implement this workflow using Workflow background process Concurrent request and move to production.Unfortunately when submititng the concurrent request I am not receiving any notification eventhough all the time Concurrent request always completes normal.(Also when submitting as concurrent request workflow is not prompting for the itemkey). Is it not possible to implement a workflow in the application using background concurrent process? Any help is appreciated.

Please note that Workflow Background engine is used to process workflows that are in deferred status. It is not used to launch the workflow. You will have to write your own code to launch the Workflow using one of the following methods.
1. Use WF_ENGINE.CreateProcess and WF_ENGINE.LaunchProcess APIs.
2. Register a Business Event, create a subscription to the event to launch the workflow and raise the Business Event from your code.
Workflow Background Engine has parameters such as Itemtype, Min and Max Thresholds, Process Deferred, Process Timeout and Process Stuck... which basically determine the type of background work it has to do.
Please refer to Workflow Developer Guide on how to launch Workflows and the uses of Workflow Background Engine.
Thanks

How to close the report background engine programatically in developer 6.0?

Friends,
We have developed our application using Oracle Developer 6.0 as front end and Oracle 9iR2 as a back end.
whenever the user is opening the application one session is creating after that if he runs any report the report background engine is started and that engine also creating one session. So, unnecessarily two sessions are opening for a single application.
So, how can we close the report background engine programatically after the report displays all the records?
Moreover, when the user close the application, the report background engine is still open. the user has to close the report background engine manually.
so how can we solve this issue?
Thanks
Sathyguy

i got this while searching but its not working.....
Problem Description
Starting reports using a RUN_PRODUCT on Windows platforms starts a
Reports Background Engine (RBE). After leaving the forms application the
background engine is still running and must be terminated by the user.
Solution Description
This is intendet behaviour.
To close the Background Engine programmatically use the Reports Runtime parameter
ORACLE_SHUTDOWN. E.g.
Perform the following actions to stop the RBE when closing the Forms
application:
1) Create a dummy report which only does e.g. a SELECT * FROM DUAL
This report has a DESTYPE=FILE and a DESNAME to e.g. C:\TEMP\DUMMY.OUT
2) In the POST-FORMS trigger add the following code:
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('dummy');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'ORACLE_SHUTDOWN',TEXT_PARAMETER,'Yes');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
Run_product(REPORTS,'<<name dummy rapport>>',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM,pl_id,NULL);
END;
Explanation
The Report Background Engine runs separately from the Forms application and
there is no direct relation between these processes. The Forms should signal
the RBE that is being closed.
When the Form is closed the POST-FORM triggers sends a dummy report to
the RBE. Since the ORACLE_SHUTDOWN=Yes parameter is used after running the
report the RBE is terminated.
A small side-effect of the solution is that a small file (5Kb) is created on
the file-system contaning the output of the dummy report.

How to close "Reports Background Engine" automatically

Dear Sir,
I wanna close "Report Background Engine" automatically after closing the report.
I tried to add the following parameter to close it in the caller form, but it didn't work:
add_parameter(p1, 'oracle_shutdown', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'Yes') ;
Waitting for Help!

Hi,
I think the problem might be with oracle_shutdown being in small case letters or you are using a version of forms6 or 6i that this line doesn't work due to a bug via Oracle in the engine ..
Here is my line to shut down the report background engine.
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'ORACLE_SHUTDOWN',TEXT_PARAMETER,'Yes');
Thanks

Report Formatt takes long time -- Report Progress and background engine

We invoke reports from Forms using run_report_object.
A particular report takes a long time. As soon as we invoke the report, the "Reports Progress" window shows up. Right after that The "Reports background Engine" display as Formatting Page1, 2, 3 etc. It takes a long time to get this done for a three page report.
We are using Reports 6i. Any thoughts? Is this a query performance or Report format issue?
Thanks

Formatting page 1 often means that the query is still executing, not that the page is formatting page 1.
If the report is "Formating page 2" for a long while on a 3 page report (assuming page 2 is not another query in a different report section) it would seem that the query is passing bits of data back to the report a bit at a time.
In this case try adding the ALL_ROWS hint which forces Oracle to retrieve all rows (you optimizer may be set to first_rows)

Reports Background Engine - How To Automatically Close?

I use Developer 6. When I run a Reports, using RUN_PRODUCT built-in from a menu, a REPORTS BACKGROUND ENGINE starts up automatically, and it opens a session with the server, and runs reports. Since it is in another session, I cannot use uncommitted records created in my Forms Runtime session in any of the reports.
Further, when I exit out of my application, this REPORTS BACKGROUND ENGINE stays put. The user is expected to physically go and close this window, and consequently the Oracle session at the server end.
I've been unsuccessful in figuring out how to close this window and exit from my Application.
Could any one enlighten me on how to close this REPORTS BACKGROUND ENGINE while exiting out of my application programatically please?
Regards,
Ram

hello,
you can use the ORACLE_SHUTDOWN parameter to shutdown the RBE.

Report Background Engine - How do I determine where it is located

We have several servers running Oracle Forms and Reports.
The person who set up the applications I supported has
left and no one can tell me which Reports Background
engine/server my reports are running on. How can I
determine it and tell them.
Thank you.
Bob

Hi Bob,
If you are running the background engine (rwrbe60.exe on windows or rwrbe60 on solaris using run_product) then it will be in the same Oracle Home as your Forms installation. However, if you are running with the Reports Server (rwmts60.exe or rwmts60) then there is a server parameter that should be part of your command line. If you are using the cgi and you don't see it, it's likely specified in the key which is defined in your cgicmd.dat file. The cgicmd.dat file is located on the machine where your rwcgi60 executable resides. That server name will match an entry in your tnsnames.ora file located on the same machine.
Hope that helps,
Toby

Reports Background Engine & ntdll.dll

Hi all,
I'm facing a strange problem on some reports.
When launching (or even closing) a report, setting some parameters (or even leaving the default ones), the background engine crashes and the well-known WindowsXP "..do you want to send information...?" window appears. Clicking on button "Details", I found these informations:
AppName: rwrbe60.exe
AppVer: 3.0.0.0
ModName: ntdll.dll
ModVer: 5.1.2600.0
Offset: 000036f7
<a list of threads with their stack>
The db referenced by the report is an Oracle10gXE instance. The report is build with OracleForms6i.
Any suggest would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
GB

dear all
you can pass parameter from form to report to close report server after close report
add_parameter(pl_id, 'oracle_shutdown',text_parameter, 'Yes');
then it will be ok
good luck
