Excel Report from Forms

My users have to create some simple reports invloving simple select with some group by clauses.
They are not willing to learn report builder for that. What I have to give is a form where the user will make some selections of fields and criterias. Based on user input the report will be generated and sent to Excel.
I need your suggestions for the approach to achieve this functionality. One thing that comes to my mind is dynamic sql. Not sure how lengthy coding will be.
Any other ideas please?
Thanks
Sanjay

try using
destype=file+desformat=spreadsheet+desname=C:\temp\my.xls
may work not sure

Running JSP Excel report from Forms 10g

Perhaps this had been discussed before, though I didn't find an exact solution.
We have a JSP report that displays data in MS Excel. Works fine if called from the url.
The report shall be called from the form passing a parameter list with PARAMFORM=NO.
Problem: reports runs as designed but opens up an empty Excel spreadsheet. No errors, no data..
We are using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT with desformat=spreadsheet and paramform=no.
We can't use just web.show_document alone since quite a few parameters need to be passed.
I've read in one of the posts that a paper layout need to be created (in addition to web layout) to run RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. We've done that, but now it does not open EXCEL, and displays paper layout in a browser.
So, how to call JSP (Excel) report from Forms passing parameter list without displaying the parameter form?
Thank you

What is the complete Application Server version you are using? Be sure you are using 10.1.2.2
What platform and version is it installed?
What version of Excel is installed on the client?
Does it work if you use an RDF report?
Try this:
o Change DESFORMAT to DELIMITED
o Append the following to the end of the URL created in the WEB.SHOW call:
&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel
The result should be the same as using SPREADSHEET.

Webutil Error when trying to run excel report from Oracle form

I am trying to run an excel report from a oracle from but it throws me following error:
Oracle.forms.webutil.fileTransfer.FileTransfer bean not found. WEBUTIL_FILE_TRANSFER.getmaxtransfer will not work
Can you tell what is this error due to and how to eradicate this.

hi
Did you generate .plx?
please check if you did not generate plx and if u did not create db packages please create the webutil user and create db packages.
here is the webutil configurations.
How to get up and running with WebUtil 1.06 included with Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2 on a win32 platform
Solution
Assuming a fresh "Complete" install of Oracle Developer Suite 10.1.2.0.2,
here are steps to get a small test form running, using WebUtil 1.06.
Note: [OraHome] is used as an alias for your real oDS ORACLE_HOME.
Feel free to copy this note to a text editor, and do a global find/replace on
[OraHome] with your actual value (no trailing slash). Then it is easy to
copy/paste actual commands to be executed from the note copy.
1) Download http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jacob-project/jacob_18.zip
and extract to a temporary staging area. Do not attempt to use 1.7 or 1.9.
2) Copy or move jacob.jar and jacob.dll
[JacobStage] is the folder where you extracted Jacob, and will end in ...\jacob_18
     cd [JacobStage]
     copy jacob.jar [OraHome]\forms\java\.
     copy jacob.dll [OraHome]\forms\webutil\.
The Jacob staging area is no longer needed, and may be deleted.
3) Sign frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar
Open a DOS command prompt.
Add [OraHome]\jdk\bin to the PATH:
     set PATH=[OraHome]\jdk\bin;%PATH%
Sign the files, and check the output for success:
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\frmwebutil.jar
     [OraHome]\forms\webutil\sign_webutil [OraHome]\forms\java\jacob.jar
4) If you already have a schema in your RDBMS which contains the WebUtil stored code,
you may skip this step. Otherwise,
Create a schema to hold the WebUtil stored code, and privileges needed to
connect and create a stored package. Schema name "WEBUTIL" is recommended
for no reason other than consistency over the user base.
Open [OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql in a text editor, and delete or comment
out the EXIT statement, to be able to see whether the objects were created witout
errors.
Start SQL*Plus as SYSTEM, and issue:
     CREATE USER webutil IDENTIFIED BY [password]
     DEFAULT TABLESPACE users
     TEMPORARY TABLESPACE temp;
     GRANT CONNECT, CREATE PROCEDURE, CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM TO webutil;
     CONNECT webutil/[password]@[connectstring]
     @[OraHome]\forms\create_webutil_db.sql
     -- Inspect SQL*Plus output for errors, and then
     CREATE PUBLIC SYNONYM webutil_db FOR webutil.webutil_db;
Reconnect as SYSTEM, and issue:
     grant execute on webutil_db to public;
5) Modify [OraHome]\forms\server\default.env, and append [OraHome]\jdk\jre\lib\rt.jar
to the CLASSPATH entry.
6) Start the OC4J instance
7) Start Forms Builder and connect to a schema in the RDBMS used in step (4).
Open webutil.pll, do a "Compile ALL" (shift-Control-K), and generate to PLX (Control-T).
It is important to generate the PLX, to avoid the FRM-40039 discussed in
Note 303682.1
If the PLX is not generated, the Webutil.pll library would have to be attached with
full path information to all forms wishing to use WebUtil. This is NOT recommended.
8) Create a new FMB.
Open webutil.olb, and Subclass (not Copy) the Webutil object to the form.
There is no need to Subclass the WebutilConfig object.
Attach the Webutil.pll Library, and remove the path.
Add an ON-LOGON trigger with the code
         NULL;
to avoid having to connect to an RDBMS (optional).
Create a new button on a new canvas, with the code
         show_webutil_information (TRUE);
in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger.
Compile the FMB to FMX, after doing a Compile-All (Shift-Control-K).
9) Under Edit->Preferences->Runtime in Forms Builder, click on "Reset to Default" if
the "Application Server URL" is empty.
Then append "?config=webutil" at the end, so you end up with a URL of the form
      http://server:port/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil
10) Run your form.hope this helps u.

I am running Forms 6i on the web and attempting to call me report via RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. I am getting the same error as Jenny FRM-92100. I need to pass a parameter list so I don't think I can use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT. Any ideas???
Thanks,

Dear Jenny,
I am running reports from Forms 6i on the WEB. I did not encounter your problem. Nevertheless I would like to share the following with you.
RUN_PRODUCT doesn't work for calling reports ON THE WEB. Instead using RUN_PRODUCT do the following:
1. Install Oracle Reports Server
2. For WEB calls of reports use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
3. Learn how to pass parameters to the reports. It is a litlle bit strange, but it is explaint excellent in the documentation to the Reports Server.
I hope this will help you.

How to call jsp web report from forms 9i

Dear fellows,
How can i call a jsp report from forms 9i.
Thanx
Mochoo

Use web.show_document instead of Run_Report_Object. If the jsp contains a paper layout you can still use Run_Report_Object, but you have to specify the filename extension .jsp along with the filename.

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.

2. Install Jinit version 1.3.1.28.
3. Create report server
3. Compile form, report and pll
4. call report from from with this procedure :
PROCEDURE Call_Report (vFILENAME varchar2) IS
report_id                Report_Object;
ReportServerJob VARCHAR2(100);
vc_rep_status      VARCHAR2(100);

CALLING A REPORT FROM FORMS (PROBLEM)

MY PROBLEM IS THE NEXT:
I CREATED A MASTER-DETAIL REPORT CALLING 'ASUNTOS'WITH THE NEXT QUERY:
SELECT ABOGADOS.APELLIDO_P,ABOGADOS.APELLIDO_M,ABOGADOS.NOMBRES,
ASUNTOS.EXP_INT,ASUNTOS.MATERIA,ASUNTOS.GERENCIA,
ASUNTOS.EMPRESA,ASUNTOS.RECLAMA,ASUNTOS.PESOS,
ASUNTOS.DOLARES
FROM ABOGADOS,ASUNTOS
WHERE ABOGADOS.FICHA = ASUNTOS.F_ABOG
AND ASUNTOS.F_ABOG = :ABOGADO ;
-- ABOGADO = PARAMETER.
THIS REPORT WORKS FINE THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I TRY CALL THIS REPORT FROM FORM I'VE USE A BUTTON(WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED) WITH THE NEXT CODE:
DECLARE
LISTA PARAMLIST := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('ABOG');
BEGIN
IF ID_NULL(LISTA) THEN
LISTA := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('ABOG');
ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'PRINTER');
ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER,'LPT2');
ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'ABOGADO',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR(:ASUNTOS.F_ABOG));
-- ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'YES');
END IF;
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,'ASUNTOS',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,LISTA,NULL);
END;
BUT THE REPORT NOTHING DISPLAY.
THERE ARE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CODE IN THE BUTTON

Roberto,
Does your report work when it is not called from Forms?
try the following:
[TOOLS_HOME]\BIN\RWRUN60 module=ASUNTOS destype=screen userid=<username>/<password>@<tns> ABOGADO=<some_valid_code>
where TOOLS_HOME is the directory where Reports is installed.
I can see nothing wrong with your code.
Maybe some error in the query?
Also, I would check for the existence of multiple ASUNTOS report definitions. Maybe Forms is calling an older one.
Hope this helps,

Calling a report from forms with a paramter form

Hello,
How do you call a report from forms and get it to display the parameter form. Where you can then call the report using this parameter form. I have been using paramform=yes. but it simply runs the form.
I saw on a a thread ages ago that this was a sample of this available for download. Is this true?
thanks

Here is my code sorry about posting twice. Please note that the parameter list has been created as described.
report_id := find_report_object('MENU_REPORT_NODE');
Tool_Env.Getvar('ReportsServer', reports_server);
Tool_Env.Getvar('ReportsFolder', reports_folder);
dest_file := reports_folder || :global.username || '\' || rep_name || '.pdf';
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_FILENAME, rep_name);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_SERVER, reports_server);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS); -- wait for the report to finish
-- SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESNAME, dest_file);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, cache);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'PDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_OTHER, 'paramform=yes' || ' ' || 'mode=bitmap');
report_job := run_report_object(report_id);

If You not Use Client Server Application the Also Passing a Host Command in Button-Pressed Event and Run.

I try to set v_path with the printer name on my client and on the server.. but it doesn't find it...
Please help me,
Thanks in advance
