Dbms_job.submit procedure called from Forms

Folks,
Since the DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT cannot be executed directly within a form, I created a simple procedure on the database which makes the call to DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT as follows:
FUNCTION web_newsletter_submit_job(p_letter_id NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
v_jobnum NUMBER;
BEGIN
DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT (v_jobnum, 'send_mail_html2 (''DailyRacingForm<[email protected]>'', ''[email protected]'', ''DailyRacingForm<[email protected]>'', ''test subject'', ''test body'');',
TRUNC(SYSDATE) + 22/24);
RETURN v_jobnum;
END;
From SQL/Plus I can declare a varialbe and execute this procedure as follows:
v_jobnum := web_newsletter_submit_job(22) ;
then I can view the v_jobnum and find the job in the DBA_JOBS table.
My problem is when I execute the 'web_newsletter_submit_job' function from with Forms, my job never gets created. The function actually returns a job number and my Form display it via the Message() function; however, the job number never shows up in DBA_JOBS table.
Any ideas why I can successfully create the job from sql/plus but not from Forms ???
Regards,
Bob

you made a FORMS_DDL('COMMIT') right? without commiting, the jobe will never get executed.
Cheers, Stefan

DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT ( procedure call with parameter )

if anybody knows how to solve please let me know ASAP.

Database procedure called from Forms

If a database procedure that updates a table is called from Oracle Forms, does it commit the changes automatically or do you have to issue a commit in Forms to commit the changes the database procedure has done, assumming there is no commits in the database procedure.
I'm not sure since I have seen cases where a commit was needed after the database procedure has been called and a case where a commit was needed. I checked the database procedure and there was no commits, there was a commit above the statement where the procedure was being called.

Database procedure do have commit. You can issue commit in the procedure itself.

4.5 to 6i migration or report calling from forms in XE???

Hi Friends,
I really appreciate your helping tendency. Let me explain the whole scenario.
My application basically consists of
Forms [32 Bit] Version 5.0.6.8.0 (Production)
Report Builder 3.0.5.8.0
Oracle Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
Now we migrated our database into Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production. After the migration all the existing forms and report individually were running without any problem. But there was a huge problem. Whenever I tried to call any report from any form the report engine appeared and then stopped responding. So report calling from forms was not possible after the database migration. I was suggested by someone from OTN forum to migrate my forms and reports into 6i. I have started doing the migration using ifcmp60. WIth forms 6i, reports can be called from forms. But I am facing problem in every other steps. There are many things are not working after the migration though the migration log shows no error. For example, COMMIT_FORM, EXECUTE_QUERY (for detail table), LOV, TOOL.GETVAR lots of things are not working.
My application has 200 forms and 250 reports.
Please help and advise on:
How to call reports from form when the database is XE Or
How to overcome the stated migration problem
Rgds,
Luther

Dear Mark:
I have two choices. I can either migrate to 6i or I can go with the existing 4.5. If I go with 4.5 ......the reports are not being called from forms. This problem is happening after I changed the database from 9i to XE. Please advise what to do so that I can keep my forms in 4.5, database in XE and can call reports from forms.
Rgds,
Luther

Reports are not called from form in browser plz help

Hi,
I have installed 9iAS+8.1.7 database on the same machine with NT4 server.My system's forms(.fmx) are running well but my reports are not running from my main form.i call reports from the
from as,
Run_Product(reports,'..\iReports\xglrxx12.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);
Actually want to know the report's setting when calling from the from in a browser(environment variables,virtual paths etc.).
My database is installed in drive E:\8idb_home\ and 9iAS is on
G:\9iAS_home\.My systems .fmx & .rep files are in "iforms" and "ireports" folder respectively.
Plz help!
Many thanks!

Hi,
First of all thanks to Vincent Botteman for solving the prob.
Yes when i changed my call of run_product by excluding the path i have specified when calling from form it then makes a result.
Also specified the entry of your reports .rep files by giving path in reports60_path registery variable as,
Run regedit-->Hkey_Local_Machine-->Software-->Oracle here give the full path of your .rep files as an first entry in reports60_path variable.And finally not mention the path when calling reports from form as,
Run_Product(reports,'xglrxx13.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);<--- Correct way.
Run_Product(reports,'..\iReports\xglrxx13.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);<--- Wrong way.

Stored Procedure call from JDBC sender for Oracle Database

Hi,
I have a requirement to call stored procedure using JDBC sender adapter for retriving data from an Oracle database.
I need to execute first stored procedure call from Querry SQL statement and then trigger second stored procedure call for confirming the succesful retrival of those records from the update SQL statement.
Querries:
1. Can we trigger stored procedure from Update statement of JDBC sender.
2. Can we call stored procedure from Querry statement, since I have read on other sdn threads that stored procedure calls on Oracle database are not allowed. If not possible to have "Execute stored procedure" would the function call (select * from table(function name)) work same as stored procedure.
3. In a JDBC sender the Querry statement and Update statement are executed in same session call and same database connection. What happens if the querry statement was not succesful, would the update be still triggered.
Please note PI does not have direct access to main table and hence the need to have separate stored procedure calls.
The PI version is PI 7.11 sp4.
Appreciate your inputs.
Thanks.
Siddhesh S.Tawate

>1. Can we trigger stored procedure from Update statement of JDBC sender.
I think not possible using update statement.
> Can we call stored procedure from Querry statement, since I have read on other sdn threads that stored procedure calls on Oracle database are not allowed. If not possible to have "Execute stored procedure" would the function call (select * from table(function name)) work same as stored procedure.
Yes using select query you can call stored procedure.
>. In a JDBC sender the Querry statement and Update statement are executed in same session call and same database connection. What happens if the querry statement was not succesful, would the update be still triggered.
No select and update handles in the same session using the same thread so if one transaction fails update should not proceed.

Execution Times of Stored Procedures Called from Other Stored Procedures

If I execute sys.dm_exec_procedure_stats, it will produce execution times of my stored procedures executed recently.
However, stored procedures called from other stored procedures do not show up.
Is there code that can return the execution times of stored procedures even though they are called from other stored procedures.

Look at the example. It is counting nested execution.
CREATE PROC z1SP AS SELECT * FROM Production.Product;
GO
CREATE PROC z2SP AS SELECT * FROM Production.Product WHERE Color is not null; EXEC z1SP;
GO
SELECT object_name(2002822197), object_name(2034822311);
--z1SP z2SP
EXEC z1SP; EXEC z2SP;
GO 10

Need to do a commit in a procedure called from a trigger

How do I get around the need to do a commit in a procedure that is being executed from a trigger. I know it can't be done but I bet someone has a workaround. Thanks.

Hi
Why do you want to do a commit in a procedure called from a trigger?
Anyway if you are running Oracle 8i+ you can declare the procedure as an Autonomous Transaction and can issue a commit, eventhough it is called from a trigger.

Report call from forms and 1017

Hi,
we have a web application and and it's first screen is the login screen where user can change their password or when grace time comes we force the user to change their password etc. Password changes successfully, no issue and user goes inside the application. But here is the problem. When user clicks the report after chagning the password then report doesn't work, can't connect to database and audit trail shows 1017 so obviously when they click 3 times their account gets locked because in profile it's set to 3 failed attempts. When user close the application and re login again and then click the report, it works fine. I'm suspecting the new changed password doesn't pass to the report? i would really appreciate for your help, suggestions, advise. how do i make sure that the new changed password should be passed to the report?. We're running against 11g database and sec_case_sensitive_logon is set to false.
Thanks
RM

ON-LOGON does not fire in Form B, called from Form A

We have a situation like this. We are using Forms (Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)).
We migrated this application to Forms 11.2.0.1.0. Problem is that the ON-LOGON trigger does not fire in the 2nd level forms. Our application work like this.
(a.) User double-clicks URL icon.
(b.) Form A is opened without asking for un/pwd. We put a NULL; in the ON-LOGON of A.fmb.
(c.) This is the main form of the application. This has a canvas with 6 buttons. Each button will launch it's own separate application with it's own menu.
(d.) Now user presses button in A. This launches Form B. We use
Run_Product(FORMS, 'B', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL); (e.) Now, in Form B, in the ON-LOGON trigger we have put code to show the logon screen and login to the DB.
Problem is, this works in 10g Forms. But we had to replace the RUN_PRODUCT with a CALL_FORM after migrating to 11g since RUN_PRODUCT is not supported in 11g.
Problem is that when you use CALL_FORM to call Form B, the ON-LOGON of the Form B does not fire. We tried OPEN_FORM and NEW_FORM with different parameters, but the behavior is the same. i.e. ON-LOGON does not fire.
What is the solution or workaround for this please.

Michael Ferrante (Oracle) wrote:
If you need to open another form you should use CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM, or NEW_FORM. In these cases, ON-LOGON will not automatically fire because the connect info is passed from the calling form. If you need to login from the called form then you need to need to programatically cause that to occur. Refer to the LOGON and LOGON_SCREEN built-ins in the Builder help for more info. You can fire these from almost any trigger you like, for example in a WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger or where ever is appropriate for you application.Michael, we tried using the CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM & NEW_FORM.
Also, there is NO connection to the DB, when B is called from A since we don't login to the DB in A (ON-LOGON has NULL;).
So, if there is no DB connection when B is called, shouldn't the ON-LOGON in B fire?
We tried firing the LOGON_SCREEN and LOGON in the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE. But, for some reason, the we don't get the menu (we get a menu not found error). We tried correcting the paths and other things but still no solution.

How to display the output of a reports called from forms in the same window

Hi all.
I have installed Forms / Reports 11g Rel2 developer only installation on my windows 7 box.
I can successfully call a reports from forms using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT and WEB_SHOW.document, but the report is opened in a new window.
I'd like to open it in the same widow, in a new tab, similar to ctrl-t and make a call.
How is that possible?.
I'm using Chrome 25.0. Could this be done through browser settings?.
Thanks in advance ...!
Edited by: myluism on 14-mar-2013 6:09

Don't know for Chrome, so Google for it.
One more thing, though. what is the 2nd parameter in web.show_document? Is it '_blank'? If not, try that.

Report Called from FORMS having Printing Problem

Hi all
Guys i have a report problem in reports 6i.
I am calling a report from my FORM 6i directly to printer (a dot matrix printer).
I have set
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DesType',TEXT_PARAMETER,'printer');
The report is actually a confirmation report and i have given its layout height equal to 3.7 . But when i send it to printer it ejects the paper equal to 11 (equal to height of a portarait report).
How can manage this ejection from Form or Report Side.
NOTE : This problem occurs even if print the report from report preview(means not printed directlty from FORM).
Kindly help me with this if any.
I need it urgent.
Thanx.

Hello All
The furthur detail to my previous problem is given as follows:
I am getting problem
with the Oracle reports. I have a dot matrix printer (Epson LQ-300, which is a
tractor feed printer). While printing a report which is always not more than half a
page, the printer does not stop after printing the report(the half page). It stops at
the end of the page. I mean that half the page is printed and the rest half is blank.
I want that the printer should print only at half a page. On the blank half it should
print another copy of same report.

Qaiser Qayyum Malik.
