From form calling report to result to pdf file

Dear All,
Usually, when we call a report from form, it calls to preview. Now, I would like to autometically call the report and upon execute, the pdf file will be created. Can anybody tell me how to do that.
p/s: I do not want the preview becasue this report is a complicated report and it takes quite some time to process. So I would like my user to get the pdf directly instead of going though the preview.
Thanks

Forms calling Reports output issue RTF/PDF - strange issue

Dear All,
I'm looking for a bit of help with a strange situation calling reports from Forms.
This problem I'm getting in both 11.1.1 and 11.1.2 of Forms/Reports. Client is WinXP/7 (issue appears on both), Weblogic server is Linux (SLES11 and Red Hat - issue on both)
So the issue is
1. calling a report with output as RTF (this works fine and we use OLE2 to open the report in Word)
2. Wihile in that form call the same report though change the output to be created as PDF in the cache and the report then opens in IE (this too works fine)
3. Now if we try and do number 1 again (still in the same form) and run the same report again and choose to generate as RTF and open in word, it erroneously generates the report in PDF format but with an .RTF extension on the file.
Of course most of the time people would not want to do this, but the client has identified this issue and classified it as a bug, so we need to fix it (and it doesn't happen in the Forms6i version it is migrated from).
I have tried to ensure that the parameter list is correctly deleted and re-created, which appears to be the case. I also tried to generate a new unique parameter list for every run, which made no difference to the problem.
If I choose to run a completely different report, the problem has reset itself. So the problem exists only when I've chosen the PDF output and then run the same report thereafter as RTF output to a file.
Code to prepare for the RTF option is:
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'destype',TEXT_PARAMETER,'FILE');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'desname',TEXT_PARAMETER,l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.rtf');
l_report_desname := l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.rtf';
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'RTF');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'REPORT_DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'RTF');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'mode',TEXT_PARAMETER,'BITMAP');
l_report := p_report;
Code used to prepare for PDF option is:
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'destype',TEXT_PARAMETER,'CACHE');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'desname',TEXT_PARAMETER,'');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'desformat',TEXT_PARAMETER,'PDF');
l_report := p_report;
Any ideas gratefully received.
cheers
Tony

So I delete the paramlist correctly, then the code is:
IF (p_display_method = 'W')
THEN
--WORD Format
     --delete file on client
     Delete_File('c:\temp'||'\'|| p_report || '.rtf');
     --delete file on app server
     host('rm '||l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.rtf');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'REPORT_DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'FILE');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'FILE');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER,l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.rtf');
     l_report_desname := l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.rtf';
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'RTF');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'REPORT_DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'RTF');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'MODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'BITMAP');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'printjob',TEXT_PARAMETER,'no');
     l_report := p_report;
ELSIF (p_display_method = 'E')
THEN
--EXCEL format
     --delete file on client
     Delete_File('c:\temp'||'\'|| p_report || '.csv');
     Delete_File('c:\temp'||'\'|| p_report || '.xls');
     --delete file on app server
     host('rm '||l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.csv');
     Delete_File(l_temp_env||'\'|| p_report || '.cvs');
     Delete_File(l_temp_env||'\'|| p_report || '.xls');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'destype',TEXT_PARAMETER,'FILE');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'desname',TEXT_PARAMETER,l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.csv');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'desformat',TEXT_PARAMETER,'csv.prt');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'REPORT_DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'csv.prt');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'MODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'character');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'printjob',TEXT_PARAMETER,'no');
     l_report := p_report || '_d';
ELSIF (p_display_method = 'P')
THEN
-- PDF Format
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'destype',TEXT_PARAMETER,'CACHE');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'desname',TEXT_PARAMETER,l_temp_env||'/'|| p_report || '.pdf');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'PDF');
     Add_Parameter(pl_id,'REPORT_DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'PDF');
     l_report := p_report;
END IF;
So all of the above works fine when generating a report the first time you enter a form, but if you run a PDF output report then immediately in the same form generate the report again to a non-PDF format, it comes out in incorrectly in PDF format.

How to Pass User-defined Parameters from Forms to Reports

Hi!I am trying to launch an existing report from a form then spool it into a PDF file. I have been successful in passing the report properties using SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY built-in and I am also able to launch the report using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT built-in. My problem is, I cannot seem to pass the user defined parameters from my form to the report eventhough I am using the same variable names.
this is a part of my code:
repid := Find_Report_Object('ACPPRACS');
Set_Report_Object_Property(repid, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
Set_Report_Object_Property(repid, REPORT_DESTYPE,FILE);
Set_Report_Object_Property(repid, REPORT_DESNAME,'C:\TMP\ACS01.PDF');
Set_Report_Object_Property(repid, REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
Set_Report_Object_Property(repid, REPORT_OTHER,'PF_NBO_CD='| |'"'| |:acs.nbo| |'"');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
Hope you can help me soon. Thanks!

first of all u will create a paramlist
then add_paramter to this list
and then pass this list to the report
by using run_product.
i think this is all.

How to pass parameters from Forms to Reports

dear all,
i'm running a report from a form using run_product(), now i want
to pass a parameter from a form to report, say i want to display
all the employees of deptno=10, so what parameter should i give
in run_product() and what modifications should i make in the
report???
thanks and regards
Tariq.

Yeah,
You can pass parameters to from form to report using
Parameter list. E.g. You want to display all employees of Dept
10.
1. Create report with one user paramter say p_dept
2. Now Using Parameter list and Run Product you can call report,
see following procedure.
/* This Procedure passes department number as a paramter to
Report and displays Report.
Author - Mr. Adinath R. Kamode
Parameter - Deptname (p_dept)
PROCEDURE CALL_REPORT (V_DEPT IN NUMBER)
          V_PLIST          PARAMLIST;               -
- Parameter List and Name
          V_PLISTNAME           VARCHAR2
(30) := 'RPTLIST';
BEGIN
-- Check existance of Parameter List
          V_PLIST := GET_PARAMETER_LIST(V_PLISTNAME);
          IF ID_NULL (V_PLIST) THEN
               V_PLIST := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST
(V_PLISTNAME);
               IF ID_NULL (V_PLIST) THEN
                         MESSAGE('Error in
creating parameter list.');
                         MESSAGE('.');
                         RAISE
FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
               END IF;
-- Add parameter data , name must be same as in Report
     ADD_PARAMETER(V_PLIST,'P_DEPT',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR
(V_DEPT));
-- Don't display parameter Form
     ADD_PARAMETER(V_PLIST,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
RUN_PRODUCT
(REPORTS,'DEPT.RDF',ASYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,V_PLIST,NULL)
ELSE
          DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(V_PLIST);
END IF;
END;

Passing date parameter from forms to report

Hi,
I'm using forms and reports 6i.
I want to pass one date parameter from forms to reports.
Using
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);
giving me error REP-0091- Invalid value for parameter 'P_FROM_DATE'
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar.
Please help

Hi Divya,
Even I use this kind of statement
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);and works fine for me.
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar
Correct.
Open the report in the builder and under Data Model -> User Parameters, Go to the Property Inspector of P_FROM_DATE. Under Parameter, set Datatype as Character instead of Date.
Hope this should work. and tell me if it works(coz it wokred for me).

Is there any other oracle product is running in the same machine?
1. Are you installing Dev 6i in a machine where Oracle database(8.0 or 8i) is installed?
2.First shutdown the database. Stop the oracle services running.
3. Then start installing Dev 6i in a different oracle home.

Hello,
If you are using the "Paper Layout", check the Reports's "Before Report Value" property:
Before Report Value :

Concatenate different reports in a single PDF file

Hi,
I need to concatenate different reports in a single PDF file.
What I want is to have a single PDF file as a result of a single URL request; but my request runs different reports having a single file as a result.
In other words, I already have the report A, B and C.
I'd want to build a new report "D" that invokes A, B and C returning a single PDF that contains A + B + C.
How can I do it? Is there a SRW function?
Thanks in advance for your help
Samuele Gallazzi

You can concatenate pdf's together using Ghostscript on unix. Just a bit of scripting.

Exporting or Printing each page of a Crystal Report to a separate pdf file.

Is there a way to export or print each page of a Crystal report to a separate pdf file? If possible, I would look to use the family nunmber field in my report as the file name. This is not required, but would be helpful. Thanks

Hello,
Standalone CR Designer doesn't have the ability but CR Server or BOE does. Or if you have a .NET or Java you could write an app that would spit out one page at a time.

How do I prevent Adobe from taking my jpegs and making them pdf files? I have had to uninstall Adobe to access my photos as jpegs.

I would suggest you change your file associations so that jpgs open in a program other than Acrobat. Assuming you have a Windows machine, just go to the Start, and search for "file associations" ... it's part of the Control Panel.
Scroll down to the file type jpg, and set it to open with whatever graphic preview or editing program you have that you want to use as the default. From that point on, when you click on a jpg, it should not open Acrobat and instantly try to convert it to a pdf.

Form calling Report with web.show_document caught by SSO

A 10g form button calls a 10g report via web.show_document.
In the dev environment it works, but in the full app server SSO is enabled and stops & prompts for a login/password.
I'm trying to include the SSOCONN parameter in the URL. I've tried the db userid & the sso userid without success.
Any help is much appreciated.

How are you calling the report with Web.Show_Document (what's the URL you're passing)? The application I'm working on uses SSO and I call Reports from Forms and don't have this issue. You should just have to pass the return value of RUN_REPORT_OBJECT() in the URL along with the server name - at least that is how we do it. For example (bare in mind this is an abbreviated example):
DECLARE
     v_rep_rtn   VARCHAR2(4000);
     v_repsvrname      VARCHAR2 (100); /* This is a CONSTANT and used here as an example */
     v_paramlist paramlist;
BEGIN
     v_rep_rtn := Run_Report_Object(v_report, v_paramlist);
     Web.Show_Document('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep_rtn,Instr (v_rep_rtn, '_', -1) + 1)||
                      '?server=' || v_repsvrname);
     v_report    := Find_Report_Object('REP1');
     Set_Report_Object_Property(v_report, report_execution_mode, batch);
     Set_Report_Object_Property(v_report, report_comm_mode,      synchronous);
     Set_Report_Object_Property(v_report, report_destype,        CACHE);
     Set_Report_Object_Property(v_report, report_desformat,      'pdf');
     Set_Report_Object_Property(v_report, report_server,         v_repsvrname);
     v_rep_rtn := Run_Report_Object(v_report, v_paramlist);
     rep_status := Report_Object_Status(v_rep_rtn);
     WHILE rep_status IN ('RUNNING', 'OPENING_REPORT', 'ENQUEUED')     LOOP
          rep_status := Report_Object_Status(v_rep_rtn);
     END LOOP;
     IF rep_status <> 'FINISHED' THEN
          msg_box('Error when running report. Status = '||rep_status);
     else
          Web.Show_Document('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep_rtn,Instr (v_rep_rtn, '_', -1) + 1)||
                      '?server=' || v_repsvrname); -- || '&authid=orcladmin/admin999');
     END IF;
END;Hope this helps.
