Error while using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT thru Menu in Developer 10g

Question

Hi All:
I am trying to call the Oracle Report desinged in Oracle Reports 10g from Menu.
I wrote the following coding in Menu Item:
declare
repid report_object;
v_rep varchar2(100);
rep_status varchar2(20);
begin
repid:=FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('Exportsvesselvoyage');
v_rep:=RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
END;
the code compile successfully.
When I tried to generate the report from Menu then it returned following error:
FRM-41219: Cannot find report: Invalid ID.
FRM-40738: Argument 1 to builtin RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be null.
Do I need to make any changes in configuration file? If yes, then what property I need to set and in which file.
I am very new to Oracle 10g.
Would you Grus please help me to solve this problem?
Thanks
Hassan

Dear Rosrio:
I have found my default Report Server Name by
http://host:port/reports/rwservlet/getserverinfo
I replace the host name with my Machine Name from where I am executing the Web Application.
I have used following coding to invoke report on web
DECLARE
     report_id Report_Object;
ReportServerJob VARCHAR2(100);
vc_rep_status VARCHAR2(100);
     vjob_id VARCHAR2(100);
     repsvr varchar2(25) := 'rep_najam-abdali_ora10g';
BEGIN
report_id:= find_report_object('REPORT1');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,file);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESNAME,'rpout1.html');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'HTMLCSS');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,repsvr);
ReportServerJob:=run_report_object(report_id);
vjob_id := substr(reportserverjob,length(repsvr)+2);
vc_rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(ReportServerJob);
WHILE vc_rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED', null)
LOOP
vc_rep_status:=REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(ReportServerJob);
END LOOP;
IF vc_rep_status='FINISHED' THEN
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| vjob_id ||'?server='||repsvr,'_blank');
ELSE
message ('Report failed with error message '|| vc_rep_status);
END IF;
END;
I think it is very similar to your coding.
After invoking the report I found the following value appeared on the Left Top side of every report.
;background:#000000"
Does anybody have idea about it.
Best Regards,
Hassan
