How do I find the report server name, and then run paper report from forms?

How do I find the report server name, and then run paper report from forms?
I am having a problem running report 9i from forms 9i (see below thread). How do I find out the name of the report server? I checked my C:\ids\reports\conf directory but don't see anything that gives me the name of the reports server. I also don't have a iashome directory.
Also, I just want to run the paper report (not the web version).
Thanks.

Hi,
please read teh Forms / Reports integration paper in teh Collateral section for Oracle9i Forms at otn.oracle.com/products/forms
In summary, you have to create an external Reports Service that you can then give a name.

Yes, I have replace the userid with scott/tiger@orcl with i6menu/i6menu@vbs and also replace the OAS server's name as you have suggested.
declare
REP_URL varchar2(2000);
begin
REP_URL:= '/reports/rwservlet?userid=i6menu/i6menu@vbs&report=testrep_10g.rdf&desformat=pdf&destype=cache&paramform=no';

Values is : D:\vision_soft\VSS\exe
2. Registry -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE-> ORACLE-> KEY_DevSuiteHome1->REPORTS_PATH ->

As my forms is working well & but the report are not able to call.
Could you please let me know is there is any other mandatory setting required for the report 10g.

How can i run unix script from my apex page

how can i run unix script from my apex page and take the output of unix script as a hidden variable and display it on the report region of that page

I had a requirement to run a Fortran program against some data that woudl be extracted from the database after the user set up their filtering criteria and made some additional input. SInce the program was to complex to conver to PL/SQL, we decided to try and invoke it from Apex. This is how I did it.
1. I followed the steps in Tim Archer's excellent article "Oracle External Procedure to Run Host Commands" (http://www.timarcher.com/?q=node/9). If the link does nto work, google the article's title.
Using this steps I created a function which accepts any OS command, including calling my own shell scripts, and runs them. I called my PL/SQL function "shell" instead of "USF_RUN_HOST_CMD " as Tim did in his example (step 9).
2. In Apex,
a. I created a button to run my shell command. (I named it P2_RUN_SHELL)
b. I created a PL/SQL process whose source looks as follows:
shell('/home/ackness/scripts/cr_xcf_file.sh > /tmp/cr_scfp_file.log');
and which was conditioned on the the button P2_RUN_SHELL.
It works like a charm.
Note: since you can run your own scripts using this method, you can encapsulate a series of commands in a UNIX shell script and invoke that script from Apex. This allows you to be able to test or run you commands from the command line as well as Apex and makes it easier to develop/debug/enhance the scripts in the future.

How can I run the report for different input values at the same time?

Reports version: Report Builder 6.0.8.13.1
Oracle version: Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.0.0
I want to run the same report for different input parameter values and spool each o/p to different file and ftp to a server. For this, as a first step, I am spooling different input values in to a file, reading those values through a loop and calling the report for that input values. Each report run/execution is taking 15 minutes. Total report execution is taking approximately 4 hours (assuming 16 different input values) to complete. So I have to wait 4 hours to see ALL outputs.
I would like to run the report parallel for ALL the input values and I should be able to see the ALL outputs with in 15 or 16 minutes.
In my shell script, I added & symbol at the end of the report call to start/run the job in the background. Due to this the control passed to the next step after the report call. At this place I have an ftp command to send the output file to a different server and it is giving error some thing like o/p file is not available/created yet". This is due to the fact that report writer is NOT yet completely started/initiated or it is NOT completed the spooling.
How can I run the report at the same time for all the input values and save the time?
Thanks in advance.
Kishore.

Increase the number of server engines running right now it seems there is only one engine running ,increase it to 4 or 6
and then atleast 4 or 6 reports will run simultaneously.
For FTPing the output add to your sript to check whether it is locked and if not then only try to ftp .
Also for more better functionality read the document (chapter 15 ) for 10g reports for its new fuinctionality.

... but you could imagine a sort of workaround...
PROCEDURE Set_Item
    PC$Item     In Varchar2
   ,PN$Property In Number
   ,PC$Value    In Varchar2
) IS
BEGIN
   Set_Item_Property( PC$Item, PN$Property, PC$Value ) ;
END;That you can call like this:
Set_Item( 'BL.BUTTON', LABEL, 'Hello' ) ;Francois

How can I run another application from my Form

Dear Gurus,
Can anybody tell how can I run a non oracle application from my Forms..
Can it be done thru DDE package..
If yes then how..??
Can it be done like Excel calling thru DDE package???
Thanks in Advance..
Regards
Swati..

Keep in mind that HOST will execute where the runtime is located. This means for Forms 6.x and older, if the application is running as client/server, HOST will correctly execute on the client. If your application (Forms 6.x and newer) is run via a web browser, HOST will execute on the server and not the client machine.
Without knowing exactly which Forms version you are using and where you want the call to be executed it will be difficult to offer suggestions.

Error running 9i reports from forms.

Hi folks,
i am having problems running 9i reports from a form.
i have installed Oracle 9iDS on a Win XP machine with 256 MB RAM and a Pentium 1.4Ghz processor.
i also have a local Oracle 9i database. i have created several reports that i am trying to run from some forms but all efforts to date have failed.
below is some sample code.
declare
v_rid report_object;
v_rjob varchar2(100);
v_rptstatus varchar2(100);
v_jobid varchar2(100);
BEGIN
/*get handle to report object itself*/
v_rid := find_report_object('pbranchlist');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'htmlcss');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_DESTYPE,'CACHE');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_SERVER,'repsrv');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,synchronous);
v_rjob := run_report_object(v_rid);
v_rptstatus := report_object_status(v_rjob);
while v_rptstatus in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') loop
     v_rptstatus := report_object_status(v_rjob);
     message(v_rptstatus);
end loop;
if v_rptstatus = 'FINISHED' then
     /*display report in browser*/
--      web.show_document('http://steve:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
--      substr(v_rptsvrjob,instr(v_rptsvrjob,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
web.show_document('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rjob,instr(v_rjob,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
else
     message('error running Report');
end if;
end;
pbranchlist is defined in the form,
repsrv is a report server i installed and explicitly started.
on clicking the button to run the above code, i get a message on the browser status bar as follows
opening http://steve:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid11?server=repsrv...
that's it. it stays like that forever and a progress bar showing the status of the operation gets to the halfway mark and stays there for up to 15 minutes.
I eventually halted the operation by clicking the stop button of the browser. The form then becomes totally non-responsive with the mouse indicator changing to the hour-glass shape and a small vertical bar moving rapidly back and forth at the bottom of the form window.
My only recourse then is to explicitly close the browser window.
I have already configured Reports to run in non single sign-on mode by setting SINGLESIGNON=NO in the rwservlet.properties file.
Is there anything i have not done properly?
Thanks in advance.

Steve,
can you check the Reports cache directory if the Reports file got created? I would assume yes, but better check.

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.

Shellie Bricker

Your code seems to be implementing metalink note 139546.1 - Using Reports parameter forms with RUN_REPORT_OBJECT on the web.
For what I can see, the P_ACTION parameter should end in ?...
i.e.
P_ACTION=http://<hostname.domain:port>/reports/rwservlet?'
set_report_object_property (
repid,
report_other,
'paramform=yes P_USER_CONNECT='
|| vc_connect
|| ' P_SERVERNAME='
|| v_reportserv
|| ' P_ACTION='
|| v_report_url
|| '/reports/rwservlet?'
);If this does not fix your problem, then to troubleshoot further you would have to post the code in your Before Parameter Form trigger of your report.
Hope this helps,
UPDATE:
If the above does not fix your problem, my guess is that report name is not being generated in the hidden runtime values build by the code in the Before Parameter Form trigger.
i.e.
http://localhost:8889/reports/rwservlet?report=&destype=cache&desformat=PDF
The above code will throw error REP-52005: The specified key report does not exist in key map file.

Error running the report from Form

Hi,
I am try to run the report from the form by using these code of line
DECLARE
RPT_OBJECT REPORT_OBJECT;
RPT_RUN VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
RPT_OBJECT := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('REPORT7');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RPT_OBJECT, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RPT_OBJECT, REPORT_DESTYPE, CACHE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RPT_OBJECT, REPORT_OTHER,'P_CITYCODE'||:CITYCODE||'PARAMFORM = YES');
RPT_RUN := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(RPT_OBJECT);
END;
but i m not using any Form server and Report Server i m completly using Oracle9iDS
It gives the error rep-0110 file not found and
rep-1070 error while opening and saving the file
please give me the solution
Shehzad

Shehzad,
this means that Reports Server cannot access the Reports module. You can test this assumption by copying your Reports module into <Oracle Home>\reports\samples\demo. The demo directory is out of the box accessible fro Reports.
If this allows you to run the Report, then all you need to do is to specify the Reports_Path to include the reports modules.
btw.: An other reason can be that your Reports contains uncompiled PLSQL, so you may want to check this too.
