How to close "Reports Background Engine" automatically

Dear Sir,
I wanna close "Report Background Engine" automatically after closing the report.
I tried to add the following parameter to close it in the caller form, but it didn't work:
add_parameter(p1, 'oracle_shutdown', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'Yes') ;
Waitting for Help!

Hi,
I think the problem might be with oracle_shutdown being in small case letters or you are using a version of forms6 or 6i that this line doesn't work due to a bug via Oracle in the engine ..
Here is my line to shut down the report background engine.
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'ORACLE_SHUTDOWN',TEXT_PARAMETER,'Yes');
Thanks

How avoid multi reports background engine (D2K6I + patch7 C/S)

after Developer tools migrate from D2K60 to D2k6i (with patch7), if call multi reports with ASYNCHRONOUS comm mode from forms, these will have multi reports background engine will startup, so need more session will connect to database, this is my need.
So I need have method to avoid startup multi reports background engine.
Not suggest me with SYNCHRONOUS comm mode or automatic close report background engine. the above two methods are difficulty to carry through for me.
Thanks & test regards!

Before developer tools migration, When run a set of reports with ASYNCHRONOUS comm mode, only one reports background engine startup, and all report as queue requests in the reports background engine, this is my need. I don't want any change because developer tools migration
Please give me your idea, Thanks again.

How to close the report background engine programatically in developer 6.0?

Friends,
We have developed our application using Oracle Developer 6.0 as front end and Oracle 9iR2 as a back end.
whenever the user is opening the application one session is creating after that if he runs any report the report background engine is started and that engine also creating one session. So, unnecessarily two sessions are opening for a single application.
So, how can we close the report background engine programatically after the report displays all the records?
Moreover, when the user close the application, the report background engine is still open. the user has to close the report background engine manually.
so how can we solve this issue?
Thanks
Sathyguy

i got this while searching but its not working.....
Problem Description
Starting reports using a RUN_PRODUCT on Windows platforms starts a
Reports Background Engine (RBE). After leaving the forms application the
background engine is still running and must be terminated by the user.
Solution Description
This is intendet behaviour.
To close the Background Engine programmatically use the Reports Runtime parameter
ORACLE_SHUTDOWN. E.g.
Perform the following actions to stop the RBE when closing the Forms
application:
1) Create a dummy report which only does e.g. a SELECT * FROM DUAL
This report has a DESTYPE=FILE and a DESNAME to e.g. C:\TEMP\DUMMY.OUT
2) In the POST-FORMS trigger add the following code:
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('dummy');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'ORACLE_SHUTDOWN',TEXT_PARAMETER,'Yes');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
Run_product(REPORTS,'<<name dummy rapport>>',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM,pl_id,NULL);
END;
Explanation
The Report Background Engine runs separately from the Forms application and
there is no direct relation between these processes. The Forms should signal
the RBE that is being closed.
When the Form is closed the POST-FORM triggers sends a dummy report to
the RBE. Since the ORACLE_SHUTDOWN=Yes parameter is used after running the
report the RBE is terminated.
A small side-effect of the solution is that a small file (5Kb) is created on
the file-system contaning the output of the dummy report.

Reports Background Engine - How To Automatically Close?

I use Developer 6. When I run a Reports, using RUN_PRODUCT built-in from a menu, a REPORTS BACKGROUND ENGINE starts up automatically, and it opens a session with the server, and runs reports. Since it is in another session, I cannot use uncommitted records created in my Forms Runtime session in any of the reports.
Further, when I exit out of my application, this REPORTS BACKGROUND ENGINE stays put. The user is expected to physically go and close this window, and consequently the Oracle session at the server end.
I've been unsuccessful in figuring out how to close this window and exit from my Application.
Could any one enlighten me on how to close this REPORTS BACKGROUND ENGINE while exiting out of my application programatically please?
Regards,
Ram

hello,
you can use the ORACLE_SHUTDOWN parameter to shutdown the RBE.

Report Background Engine - How do I determine where it is located

We have several servers running Oracle Forms and Reports.
The person who set up the applications I supported has
left and no one can tell me which Reports Background
engine/server my reports are running on. How can I
determine it and tell them.
Thank you.
Bob

Hi Bob,
If you are running the background engine (rwrbe60.exe on windows or rwrbe60 on solaris using run_product) then it will be in the same Oracle Home as your Forms installation. However, if you are running with the Reports Server (rwmts60.exe or rwmts60) then there is a server parameter that should be part of your command line. If you are using the cgi and you don't see it, it's likely specified in the key which is defined in your cgicmd.dat file. The cgicmd.dat file is located on the machine where your rwcgi60 executable resides. That server name will match an entry in your tnsnames.ora file located on the same machine.
Hope that helps,
Toby

What is "Report Background engine"and How to use it ?

Hi
I see this window shows up when I run Report each time, what dose it do?
"Report Background engine"

The Reports Background Engine waits for any command lines to run reports. When it receives a command line,
it places that report in its queue. Typically, the Reports Background Engine receives command lines from a form or
graphic using the RUN_PRODUCT packaged procedure, or from a report using SRW.RUN_REPORT.
On Windows, you can use RWISV60 to submit a report to the Reports Background Engine for execution.
This is a more efficient method because it incurs less performance overhead than Reports Runtime. The command
line arguments for RWISV60 are the same those for RWRUN60. RWRBE60 is only used to run reports locally.
Thanks,
Siva

How to display the output of report(9i) using Report Background Engine

Hi,
We are converting the forms and reports from 6i to 9i.
we could run the report in the browser from form using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT built-in, but we are not able to display the report output from form using the Report Background Engine.Let us know if you have any solution for this.
Regards,
Pramila.

Pramila,
you have to use Reports Server called from RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(). Please see the Reports Integration whitepaper on otn.oracle.com/products/forms. You can either look it up in the Forms 10g collateral seciton or the Forms 9i collateral section.

I guess it's designed so that it does not have to reload the Background Engine everytime you run the next report.
Maybe in your case you do not run reports frequently, but in our office report runs are quite often so it's a feature that is quite welcomed.

Close Reports Background Engine from reports

Hi,
I have a report that calls another report via SRW.run_report. Qhen the other report is called, Reports Background Engine opens and stays open, even after closing the called report.
How to programmatically close Reports Background Engine when closing the report. I have read on the forum some procedure to close it from "Forms", but not from report.
Thank you,

you can not close the RBE from reports as it would require a report to be executed ... i guess you get the problem.
the only way to close the RBE is from forms.
thanks,

Report Background Engine Crashes

I have a problem with Report Background Engine. When I try running a report through forms, the Report Background Engine and the Forms Runtime hangs. And If I End Task the Forms Runtime, the forms runtime closes and the background engine shows the report properly. Now I am not able to run reports properly from the Forms.
In my coding I use RUN_PRODUCT for calling the report from the forms. The O/s is Windows 98.
Please provide me with a solution asap.

Please apply latest 6i patchset and try. (Yours is very old. Latest is 6.0.8.0.24. So many bug fixes have gone in since your patchset)

Reports Background Engine caused error and had to be closed

"Reports Background Engine caused error and had to be closed"
we are encountering this error when trying to run any report on some machines.with windows 2000.
we tried to login (on the machines having problems) using another windows user,
sometimes it works and sometimes not.
we also tried to reinstall the reports runtime and it never worked.
we have developer 6i, Oracle database 10g express edition.
Does anyone have a solution to this random problem ?
Thanks

dear all
you can pass parameter from form to report to close report server after close report
add_parameter(pl_id, 'oracle_shutdown',text_parameter, 'Yes');
then it will be ok
good luck

Reports Background Engine

Hello all,
I'm calling reports (v6.0.8.11) from forms (v6.0.8.11 ) using RUN_PRODUCT, but the background engine is taking an inordinate amount of time to start up, resulting in the first request to run a report coming back with an integration error. Once the background engine is up and running, then I can call reports without a problem.
To get round this I tried to start the background engine in a pre-form trigger on the form using WIN_API_SHELL.WINEXEC. This resulted in the form itself taking a long time to start up and then the report background engine still took a while before appearing giving me the same problem as earlier.
This is all on a P3 machine with 120m ram, running windows nt4. Does anyone have any bright ideas?

We put the background engine into the startup folder in windows to solve this problem and most instance of another one
We get multiple background engines running when a report is started while the background engine is busy.
