Closing the report background engine

hi friends,
i have tried using add_parameter function with ORACLE_SHUTDOWN=YES
BUT THE Engine doesn't close in fact it shows the first report as in prview and the another report which I am trying to run in forms as waiting.
is there any particular sequence for this syntax?

Manoj,
you didn't mention a release version. ORACLE_SHUTDOWN=YES was filed as a bug for Forms 6.0 and was fixed for Forms 6i (6.0.8). Using Run_Reports_Object() instead of Run_Product and passing ORACLE_SHUTDOWN=YES as an argument of REPORT_OTHER will work even before.

  • Closing the report generating engine automatically

    how can i close the report generating engine after displaying a report automatically ie when closing the report window the report generating engine also need to be closed. now i have to manually close the report background window also and it becomes annoying to users . i am using the rdf files and not rep files.

    There is a parameter ORACLE_SHUTDOWN. Set it to YES.
    When you have large, complex reports, the Reports Background engine sometimes eats lots of memory and leads to GPF. If you have lots of GPF when running a report, you should use this parameter.

  • 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

    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.

  • Specifying the report server, disabling the reports background engine.

    When calling a report from a form, where the desname, destype, deformat is chosen, how do i specify the report server? Also when i run the form and call the report from a button how do I disable the report background engine?
    Many Thanks

    hello,
    the server is defined by the SERVER parameter in the parameter list.

  • Get rig of Reports Background Engine at the bottom of screen

    The Reports Background Engine is automatically placed at the bottom when a report is called from Form Builder. It remains there even if closing the report or exiting out of the application. Is there a way to close it automatically on exiting the application?
    Any solutions?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The answer is to use HOST calls:
    host('runrep user/password ...');
    See the details for the runrep command.
    This should do.

  • 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,

  • How to display the output of report(9i) using Report Background Engine

    Hi,
    We are converting the forms and reports from 6i to 9i.
    we could run the report in the browser from form using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT built-in, but we are not able to display the report output from form using the Report Background Engine.Let us know if you have any solution for this.
    Regards,
    Pramila.

    Pramila,
    you have to use Reports Server called from RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(). Please see the Reports Integration whitepaper on otn.oracle.com/products/forms. You can either look it up in the Forms 10g collateral seciton or the Forms 9i collateral section.

  • Report background engine

    hi
    i am using reports6i. every time i run a report, the report background engine appears in my task bar. By closing the report, it still persists in the task bar, and i have to close it manually.
    Is there any way that by closing the report, the report background engine shuts down automatically.
    tofa Mustafa Ghulam

    You can try to add this parameter to the call of report
    "oracle_shutdown=yes"
    Sorry, but i am not sure of the name of the parameter and i cannot find the reference anywhere. If i find it i will post an update.

  • 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 Background Engine Taking long time to open

    I am seeing this problem. When I run a report (in forms 6i), I get a "FRM-41211: Integration error: SSL failure running another product". The Report background engine doesn't come up right away... looking at the system process the RBE starts using almost 50% of the CPU and takes about 10 min to come up. If I run it on my local machine, just running the executable (c:\oracle6i\bin\RWRBE60.EXE) it comes up right away... on this users it doesn't. We think it may be something blocking it... anyon ehave any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hello
    I recently had that same problem with FRM-41211 error. It turned out eventually that the culprit was newly installed HP Deskjet printer on that employees computer. When I removed the printer and uninstalled its driver reports started to work normally. Hope that helps.

  • Report Background Engine Memory Increasing on Reports 6i

    Hi... we recently upgraded our ERP system from Developer 2000 to 6i. Some of our functions require many reports to print at once (labels, invoices, pick tickets, etc).. What we've noticed is that when we do this, the report background engine increases in memory significantly and does not release the memory when finished.... and can cripple the work station.
    We know we can issue the Oracle_shutdown parameter to close the RBE after each report, but are there any other options as we feel this may slow down our printing?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    If you use "dynamic" ref cursor, your package specification must have "dynamic" ref cursor type for (dynamic) query
    (from 9i we can use predefined SYS_REFCURSOR built-in data type) and "static" ref cursor type for Report Layout.
    SELECT statement in "dynamic" ref cursor must have the same number and type of columns as "static" ref cursor type.
    And, of course, your package must be stored (=database) package, because PL/SQL engine in Reports 6i is v.8.0
    but "dynamic" ref cursor is a new feature of PL/SQL v.8.1.

  • Report Background Engine  Crashes

    I have a problem with Report Background Engine. When I try running a report through forms, the Report Background Engine and the Forms Runtime hangs. And If I End Task the Forms Runtime, the forms runtime closes and the background engine shows the report properly. Now I am not able to run reports properly from the Forms.
    In my coding I use RUN_PRODUCT for calling the report from the forms. The O/s is Windows 98.
    Please provide me with a solution asap.

    Please apply latest 6i patchset and try. (Yours is very old. Latest is 6.0.8.0.24. So many bug fixes have gone in since your patchset)

  • CAN NO LONGER SHUT DOWN REPORTS BACKGROUND ENGINE

    Hello all...
    We are in the process of upgrading our apps to Developer 6.0.
    Come to find out that the old method of shutting down the Reports
    Background Engine programmatically no longer works. (i.e.
    ORACLE_SHUTDOWN=Yes).
    Any info would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    The mDNSResponser error has been reported as a problem with "Back To My Mac" and sometimes with Bonjour. There are probably other causes as well, but that's a place to start. You could make sure those services are disabled and check the logs to see if the errors go away.
    I suppose that activity like this could stall a shutdown also, but I usually see the shutdown problem with devices not behaving and allowing the system to do an orderly shutdown.
    Another test method that could point you directly to the OS or a 3rd party application would be to create another user on your machine and see if that user has the same issues.
    Just because something worked before doesn't mean that a recent update or other change hasn't caused a problem. Are you using a wireless connection or hardwired? If you are wireless then you could also stop or turn off the wireless connection before trying to shutdown to see if it could be part of the problem.
    The trick to begin troubleshooting a problem is to remove the variables, see if something changes, and then decide what to do about it or look for help with that particular system or sub-system.

  • What is "Report Background engine"and How to use it ?

    Hi
    I see this window shows up when I run Report each time, what dose it do?
    "Report Background engine"

    The Reports Background Engine waits for any command lines to run reports. When it receives a command line,
    it places that report in its queue. Typically, the Reports Background Engine receives command lines from a form or
    graphic using the RUN_PRODUCT packaged procedure, or from a report using SRW.RUN_REPORT.
    On Windows, you can use RWISV60 to submit a report to the Reports Background Engine for execution.
    This is a more efficient method because it incurs less performance overhead than Reports Runtime. The command
    line arguments for RWISV60 are the same those for RWRUN60. RWRBE60 is only used to run reports locally.
    Thanks,
    Siva

  • Reports Background Engine

    Hello all,
    I'm calling reports (v6.0.8.11) from forms (v6.0.8.11 ) using RUN_PRODUCT, but the background engine is taking an inordinate amount of time to start up, resulting in the first request to run a report coming back with an integration error. Once the background engine is up and running, then I can call reports without a problem.
    To get round this I tried to start the background engine in a pre-form trigger on the form using WIN_API_SHELL.WINEXEC. This resulted in the form itself taking a long time to start up and then the report background engine still took a while before appearing giving me the same problem as earlier.
    This is all on a P3 machine with 120m ram, running windows nt4. Does anyone have any bright ideas?

    We put the background engine into the startup folder in windows to solve this problem and most instance of another one
    We get multiple background engines running when a report is started while the background engine is busy.
