FRM-41214

Question

Hi all,
When calling a report from a form through the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT built in, the report does not run and the error 'FRM-41214 - Unable to run report' is being shown. Also, the return value for the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT command is <reportservername)_-2. When will this value be returned by the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT command. Should some report server setting be changed to correct this error.
Other details: Using Oracle Reports 6i; The Report has a Parameter list which is also passed to the above command along with the Report ID.
I've attached the code for the same herewith:
report_id := find_report_object(RepNm);
IF error_code = '41219' THEN
Message('Unable to execute : '|| RepNm);
Raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;
End;
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_FILENAME, RepNm);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_SERVER, Init.Appl_RepServer);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
IF UPPER(PDESTYPE) = 'P' THEN
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE,PRINTER);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESNAME,Init.Appl_Printer);
ELSE
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
END IF;
IF UPPER(pOrientation) = 'L' THEN
set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_OTHER,'ORIENTATION='||'LANDSCAPE');                         
ELSIF UPPER(pOrientation) = 'P' THEN
set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_OTHER,'ORIENTATION='||'PORTRAIT');                                                  
END IF;
Begin
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id,pparameter);      
Exception
When Others Then
Message('Error While executing running reports ::'||error_code);
End;
rep_status:=REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF UPPER(pDESTYPE) != 'P' THEN
Web.show_document('http://'||Init.Appl_Server||'/dev60cgi/rwcgi60/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,length(Init.Appl_RepServer))||'?server='||Init.Appl_RepServer);
END IF;
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vidya.

Hi
1)
>>
"getjobid'||substr(v_rep,length(Init.Appl_RepServer))||'?server='||Init.Appl_RepServer"
<<
This is for 9i
For 6i
Web.show_document (’/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe/getjobid=’||v_rep||'?server=’vc_reportserver,'_blank');
(Where v_rep is the return status from RUN_REPORT_OBJECT() call )
2) Refer Forms reports integration paper for 6i
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/277282.pdf
(See page 20)
You can see this document to see if you have missed anything else.
Other suggestions
This error can occur in following cases
2) DESFORMAT or DESNAME or both of these parameters are empty.
Looks like for your case it is fine (But just confirm yourself)
3) DESTYPE is specified as SCREEN or PREVIEW
Looks like for your case it is fine (But just confirm yourself)
4) A parameter passed contains a space
If parameter contains space(s), enclose parameter in single quotes
(A) Ensure that your reports server is running
(B) Run report using 6i client (rwcli60) and ensure that it runs fine.(That way we can see if the issue is with report itself or Forms-Reports integration code
Thanks
