Form & reports 10g VS Form & reports 6 ???

Hi All,
We have customers that running Form & reports 10g application and they (must) use IAS 10g for deployment.
But now they are considering to downgrade to Form & Reports 6 (client-server). So they put the Form & Reports to a folder on a server and map the folder to the clients.
Actually what are the benefits of running Form and Reports 10g on IAS and Browser compared to running Form & Reports 6 on client server mode ?
Thank you very much,
xto

Hi Xto,
If you use Forms 10g in web mode, thin clinets can be used and hardware cost can be reduced. Only you need to have good application server.
And you can access the application from browser and no need of installation/setup in client machiens. so maintanance cost also can be reduced.
These are some of benefits while running in web mode.

Calling Reports 10g from Forms 10g without an app server

Hi
I have Forms 10g, and for development/testing purposes I am able to run a form in my local machine using the standalone OC4J. I needn't to deploy the form to test it.
I can do the same with Reports 10g -- run a report in my local machine without an app server.
However, I could not manage to call a Report from a Form that way, without an app server. It does not seem possible -- is it? Is there a way to set this up using the standalone OC4J or something like that?
Thanks
Luis

Hi
Sorry for the late reply.
Here's how you start the report server from windows XP machine.
1. Choose a unique name for the report server. Eg. <your_pc_name>_repserver
2. As the report server runs in its own process, it can be started by the following command, accessible from the \ bin directory of the
Oracle Developer Suite or Oracle Application Server 10g installation.
rwserver –install <server_name> . It is now treated as a windows service and hence you can stop/start or restart from the services menu.
3. If you want specific settings for your report server, look for the <rep_server_name>.conf file under <orahome>/reports/conf directory, after starting the server from above command. This file is created by oracle automatically, once the rep server gets started.
For more info on this, please refer to white papers on the Forms and reports integration, found on the otn->Forms.
Hope this helps

Report 10g parameter form Error

Hi,
While calling a report I am getting the following error.
REP-546: Warning: The value of restricted LOV parameter TOPROFIT is not among the selectable values.
When I call the same report through another PC it displays parameter form.
I am using Report Builder 10g.
Kindly help in resolving the issue.

Hi,
I need more details.
1- Are you running that report from 2 different machines using Reports Builder? or Reports Server?
2- If running with Reports Builder, is it the same report? or a different version of the report?
Any other details that you think can clarify issue further.
Thanks, Roberto

Reports 10g with forms & PL/SQL lib

Hi,
I have reports that I am calling from Forms 10g. The report contains some pl/sql procedures stored in a library.
When I call the report from forms10g I get an error containing the following:
"REP-1247: Background is deprecated. Reports contain some uncompiled PL/SQL functions or program units"
Eventhough all programs and Libraries were compiled and generated.
If I take the program units from the Library and put them inside the report's program unit, all works fine and the report is generated.
On some other PCs I don't get this error however, the program units of the library are not called.
What is the problem?
Please someone help me it's very urgent.
Thank you,

Frank, wouldn't RUN_REPORT_OBJECT run a 9i report? I would think it would run a report in the same 9iAS home environment as for Forms 9i.
If so, you could skip RUN_REPORT_OBJECT and use web.show_document to run the report in the 10g environment directly, specifying the full URL to run the report instead of just showing the output from cache. Something like this I mean:
web.show_document('http://server:port/reports/rwservlet?server=repserver&report=report.rep&userid=un/pw@db&destype=cache&desformat=PDF');

Can Oracle Form Builder 10g open forms created with Developer 11g?

Hi,
Two different groups of developers developed forms in both Forms versions 10g and 11g. There will be call_forms between both versions and both will run under the same portal. Production is 10g. Is it possible to open 11g forms in 10g Form Builder? Suggestion/ solutions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Victor

It is likely you will run into issues, so I would say best not to. I have done it a couple of times by accident during migration of Forms 10g to 11g. You can still open and view the 11g forms code in the Forms 10g builder, but will likely see some objects appear as incorrect types. Saving the 11g form in such a state from the 10g Forms Builder may result in corruption.

Data Over flow in Reports 10g for the report U.S Sales Tax Report

Hi,
we are running the "U.S Sales Tax Report" in which we are facing the data overflow as an issue. Do any body have an idea how to fix this type of issue.
Thank you,
BOD

Just to save time for others who have the same requirement , use below, fill the structure with sales order and other details. Leave the posnr blank if you need document flow , else fill the posnr if it is item level.
CALL DIALOG 'RV_DOCUMENT_FLOW'
        EXPORTING
             VBCO6      FROM VBCO6
             MAKT-MAKTX FROM SPACE
             KNA1-KUNNR FROM kunnr2000
             KNA1-NAME1 FROM name
             MAKT-MATNR FROM SPACE
             IVKORG     FROM VKORG
             IVTWEG     FROM VTWEG.
No custom screen required, no tree control required, no coding required except that you need to call this at right place in your module pool/ report etc. SAP internally uses this for display in SAPMV45A.
Hope it helps.

Oracle Portal, Application Express, Oracle Forms/Reports 10g - which one?

Hi,
I have Oracle 10g database and Application Express installed on one linux box.
second linux box has Oracle HTTP server running from where i call the htmldb pages.
3rd linux box has Oracle Application Server 10.1.2 installed along with SSO, Portal 10.1.4 , Forms Server etc.
Now, i see there are 3 ways i can develop web applications
1. using Application Express and http server which is very basic and simple.
2. using Oracle Forms/Reports 10g and forms/reports server
3. Oracle Portal 10.1.4 in Application Server 10.1.2
Can someone guide me, which one of the above 3 is worth sticking on forever for developing web applications. i am really not sure which one of the above is best for Web developement in terms of long term planning. and i believe all 3 of the above can be integrated with Oracle SSO for authentication.
Can someone guide me please to select one of the above and can you explain me why for my better understanding of the different tools?
Thanks,
Philip.

Hi Philip.
If you already have Oracle Portal, I think that portal is the best solution.
Portal can be integrated with others applications using SSO.
Oracle portal have a lot of features that help you to develop web applications.
If portal does not offer what you want, you can develop your own portlets using java or plsql.
Take a look at the default home page of oracle portal.
Look better the features that portal offer to you.

XML Publisher is not integrating with Reports 10g Concurrent program

Hello,

Uploaded the .rtf file to the template.
The issue i have is when i run the concurrent program the output is xml tags rather than the xml publisher report.
Any help will be appreciated.

Any solution?
Thanks

I want to run a form which is created by form developer 10g through form 9i, You mean, form builder 10gR2 and deployed from OAS 9?
If that is true, the answer is:
Builder and deployed nust be same version, and I add, (may be ??) also patching must be same release( e.g Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production) must be = OAS 10.1.2.0.2 Forms services)

URGENT!!! calling crystal reports from oracle forms 10g

Is it possible to call crystal reports from oracle forms 10g?
Can someone help to answer how, if there is a solusion, to call crystal reports from oracle forms 10g.
Please provide codes with details showing step by step.
Thanks

hi
try something like this.
DECLARE
charWinHandle VARCHAR2(50);
numWinHandle NUMBER;
BEGIN Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'BUSY');
charWinHandle := Get_Item_Property('Control.Rep',Window_Handle);
numWinHandle := To_Number(charWinHandle);
:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowParentHandle
:= numWinHandle;
:Item('Control.CrystalReport1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.WindowState := 2;
:Item('CONTROL.CRYSTALREPORT1').OCX.Crystal.Crysta lReport.Connect
:= 'DSN=;UID=' || Get_Application_Property(UserName) ||
';pwd=' || Get_Application_Property(password) || ';dsq=;';
Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface,
'C:\Sample_Rep.Rpt' );
Set_Window_Property( Forms_Mdi_Window, Window_State,Maximize );
Set_Window_Property( 'MAIN', Window_State, Maximize );
:reptitle := 'Report Preview Window';
numWinHandle := Crystal_CrystalCtrl.PrintReport( :Item('Control.CrystalReport1').interface );
Set_Application_Property(Cursor_Style,'DEFAULT');
END;NOTE: Change the report name and path according to your required file name and path in
the "Crystal_CrystalCtrl.ReportFileName" method call. Also, the connection string shown
assumes that you will use the current USER and PASSWORD for the Form.
- To make the above Form generic so that you can run any Crystal report from it, then create
a parameter for the report name and pass it to the Form using CALL_FORM from any other Form.
Then just replace the file name with the passed parameter.
-. Run the Form
If its correct/helpful please mark it thanks.

Calling a Report from Oracle Forms 10g

Hi Everyone,
I need assistance.
Am running Oracle Forms & reports 10g.
My Form module is running just fine. Inside the the Form Module I added a button with a "When Button Pressed Trigger" that has the following code
declare
     repid REPORT_OBJECT;
     v_rep VARCHAR2 (100);
begin
     repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT ('REPORT49');
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (repid);
end;
This compiles without any errors.
At runtime when I press the Button from Forms, I get the following error;
"FRM-41211: Integration error: SSL failure running another product"
Please assist.
Regards,
Pascaline
