Default file location when calling report from Forms 10G

I've tried this in the reports forum, but it applies equally to forms I guess..
Hi,
I've managed to put together a routine for running a report from a 10G Form. In 6i I specified a "relative path" to my report name as follows:-
"Run_Product(REPORTS, '..\Reports\myreportname', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL); "
In 10G I would like to just specify the report name, rather than the full file path. Can I specify a relative file path - or alternatively can I set the default report location in a configuration file?
At the moment I'm having to specify something like:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_FILENAME,
'c:\oracle\systemname\reports\myreportname.RDF');
I would like to just have:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_FILENAME,
'myreportname.RDF');
Many thanks,
Keith.

Do you run your application on an application server?
If so you should use the REPORTS_PATH environment variable (in windows registry entry).
Alternatively you could use an environmentid in the reports.conf-file:
<server version="10.1.2.0.2">
<environment id="YOURID">
<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="C:\......"/>
</environment>
You call the report with the parameter &envid=YOURID in the URL.

How to hide URL when calling Reports from Forms 10g.

Hi ,
When end user runs a report through a form then report output is displayed and following type of URL is also generated on address bar of browser: http://server:7778/reports/rwservlet/getjobid22243?server=rep_servername_appsrv
Can we hide this URL so that the user cant change the JOB_ID and get access to other previous reports.
Thanks & Regards,
NL

Actually, there are several options including the one already offered above. Here are a few more:
1. If you are using 10.1.2.3 and a newer JRE on the client (e.g. 1.6.0_10 or newer), you could use java script to open the report. This will not be a perfect solution because it may not work if using a non-IE browser or if java scripting is disabled. Refer to MyOracleSupport Article 265863.1 for more information.
EXAMPLE:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:void(window.open("http://www.oracle.com","","location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,"));self.close()','_blank');Replace the url in the above example with the call to your report.
2. Set the age of the cache to a very short value so that it is only available long enough to be viewed by the user who created it. In other words, when setting the reports properties in your Forms code, include the Reports "others" parameter with TOLERANCE=1
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'TOLERANCE=1');This will cause the cache (on the server) to live for only one minute then be deleted. Refer to the Report Deployment Guide for more information.
3. Upgrade to Fusion Middleware (Forms/Reports) 11. In version 11, the Reports jobid can be randomized. See section 18.8.2 of the Reports 11 Deployment Guide

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

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.

When calling report from forms, only html format report can show chinese characters

To all experts,
When I run report by calling run_report_object() in forms, only html format can show chinese characters. If I choose pdf format, garbage characters were shown instead of chinese characters. My settings on server are as follows:
NLS_LANG=TRADITIONAL CHINESE_HONG KONG.UTF8
FORMS60_REPFORMAT=PDF
Do you know why? I hope to print report in PDF format as PDF turned out to be more regular in format. Is there any additional settings required?
May experts here broaden my mind?
Richard

You have two different ways of generating Japanese PDF files from Reoprts. One is font aliasing and the other is font subsetting.
<font aliasing>
You will need to have the following entries in uiprint.txt (example).
[ PDF ]
.....JA16SJIS = "KozMinPro-Regular-Acro"
"MS UI Gothic".....JA16SJIS = "KozMinPro-Regular-Acro"
You may need to download and install Japanese Font Pack from Adobe's web site (if your Acrobat is non-Japanese version).
<font subsetting>
You will need to add C:\WINNT\Fonts (or wherever your TTF/TTC fonts are installed) to your REPORTS_PATH.
You will also need to have the following entries in uiprint.txt (example).
[ PDF:Subset ]
"Andale Duospace WT J" = "Aduoj.ttf"
"Albany WT J"="AlbanWTJ.ttf"
"MS UI Gothic" = "msgothic.ttc"

No Parameter form when calling report from Forms 6i webpage

I have my Forms 6i fmx files and Reports rep files runnung off of HP Unix
within the same directory and yet when I call the report with RUN_PRODUCT,
I don't get the Parameter Form popup. I left it as default at first, and then I even tried using ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'HTML') to my parameter pl_id in my RUN_PRODUCT call. Can anyone tell me why I don't get a Parameter form?

Actually if you are on the Web then you don't have much control over the format the parameter form is in, so specifying it as HTML doesn't help.
Try paramform=yes when calling teh Report and this "temporarily" should help. The problem that you run into the is that there is nothing happening when you click the parameter form submit button. The reason is that when using Run_Product you are talking to a static HTML file generated into teh Reports temp directory with no services assigned to it.
Check the Whitepaper under http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/pdf/277282.pdf for the options that you have.

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

Maybe try to use "run_report_product"?

Supressing the parameter form when calling report from form...

Hi everybody
I call a report from a form passing a parameter. After pressing
the button, the runtime parameter from appears. How do I
suppress it so that the report appears right after pressing the
button???
Thanks
Serguei

Hi Serguei ,
You have to add a text parameter 'PARAMFORM' with the value
'NO' to the passing parameter list.

Open a pdf file located on Application Server from forms 10g

Dear all,
I want to open a pdf file which is stored in a folder on Application Server.
I have the following codes but could not be able to open the file.
1. host('rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler C:\REP012.pdf');
in this code I mentioned the path on local machine which is okey.
but the question is that how to open the file which is located in a folder on application server?
the following code don't show and file or error:
host('rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler /EMS/MANUALS/ACC001.PDF');
This is the file on Application Server not on local machine.
2. web.show_document('//EMS/MANUALS/ACC001.PDF/','_blank');
This give HTTP 404 NOT FOUND error
I think the problem is in path, how to mention the path of my Application Server file?

Hi,
Did you find a solution to this?
We are running into the same problem where we need to open a file present on the application server (path /opt/webapps/applications/ISL/)

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.
