How to show PDF with web.show_document in a separate browser frame (forms10g)?

I'd like to show PDF in a separate browser frame or in the same window, but at the same time with form screen. So, I'd like to have form in the left and showing pdf in the right. PDF is runing on web.show_document. I understand that this is imposible (btw: does anyone know when it's going to be posible?), but I'd like to figure out if someone have already made some kind of solution?
Thanks.

Calling a report with web.show_document and put pdf in temp directory

Hi,
I need to call a report 10g with web.show_document in order to generate a .pfd file (not viewed by the user) as soon as the user press a button in a form.
I have two problems. Firstly, after generate .pdf, it's opened a undesirable windows "process succefully" (I don't want that window). Secondly, in url parameter, I put:
(...)DESTYPE=File&DESFORMAT=pdf&DESNAME=' || client_win_api.get_temp_directory
the target directory to .pdf file might be the user temporary directory, and not c:\temp, because in Windows XP the user haven't some writing privileges.
How there is spaces in temporary directory, like:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Configurations\Temp
I supose that Get_temp_directory returns something that:
C:\Documen~1\<user>\Local~1\Temp
And web.show_document don't understand.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot,
medina.

Hi Maahjoor,
i have install windows xp on vmware having loop back adapter configure with ip 192.168.10.1.i am using oracle developer 10g suite and oracle 10g r2 database.
i want to call a report using the following code on a button.i have attached the report to the form.
i have started the report server by issuing rwserver server=repsrv.
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(20);
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('ALL_EXPENSES');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status IN ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.10.1:8889/reports/rwservlet'||substr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
ELSE
Message('Error when running report');
END IF;
end;now when i run the command, i get this error
frm-41214: unable to run the report
frm-41219: cannot find the report.invalid id.
argument 1 to builtin run_report_object acnnot be null.
i thin the problem is with this line. WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.10.1:8889/reports/rwservlet'||substr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
can anyone help? or a better piece of code?>
I think you are mixing up the web.show_document usage for URL and with RUN_REPORT_OBJECT.
I hope you have studied this document http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/migration/frm10gsrw10g-132606.pdf . It has the required examples and code.

Running report with web.show_document

We are using web.show_document to run reports which have parameter forms. destype=CACHE , desformat=pdf . We are also using the javabean which hides the login credentials as a cookie.
The output displays OK then the user wants to email it, so they use the mail button on the adobe reader toolbar.
They are asked whether they want to link or copy even though link does not work.
If they choose copy, the result is an email with an attachment called 'servlet' with no extension.
The recipient of the email has no idea what a servlet is, and more importantly they do not know how to open the file.
Does anyone know how to get around these problems ?

Ino
Your method is fine if run_report_object is used. However, in order to display a parameter form, the report must be run with web.show_document. If web.show document is used twice, first to run the report and then to display it, the second does not wait for the first to finish, even if a synchronize is put between them.
So, as soon as the parameter form appears, the second show_document appears in front of it saying it cannot find the file. Dismissing that allows access to the parameter form, the report runs and gives a success message but no output.

Kill last reports job with web.show_documents ?

Hi,
I call the Reports service for creating PDF - reports from a Forms modul ,
after creating the report I kill this last Report-job with web.show_document but get the xml response in a new browser window.
Is there another method to send the Report request from Forms without opening this second browser window incl. response data ?
(e.g. a atomic security bundle: Show report result & kill the job ..)
Many thanks
F.

Eventually , the report run... when the active thread got the value 1. How is it done...(i mean the value of 1 , instead of 2 when the report started...????) How to secure that the active thread would be 1 if this is the problem...????
However , because the report is 2 page accross.... the report displays the first page and down the other page.... Is it possible to display both pages accross as i see them in report builder env....?????
Thanks , a lot

Show pdf with wpg_docload

I am trying to:
Call a procedure in the db from Forms (904) through web.show_document, using a DAD, which will save a pdf-report (904) in a blob and after that show it in the new window. I get the pdf-report from a url to the report servers cache.
The report is saved in the table but when I try to call wpg_docload to show it I get a message from acrobat reader saying that the document doesn't begin with %PDF- but when I store the same pdf-report locally, I can see the %PDF- in the beginning of the file.
This is what my procedure looks like:
procedure blob_ex(p_url) is
v_buffer raw(2000);
v_buffer_size integer := 2000;
v_offset integer := 1;
v_length number;
v_pieces utl_http.html_pieces;
v_blob blob;
v_url varchar2(2000);
begin
v_blob := empty_blob();
dbms_lob.createtemporary(v_blob,true);
v_pieces := utl_http.request_pieces(p_url,64000);
for i in 1 .. v_pieces.count loop
v_buffer := utl_raw.cast_to_raw(v_pieces(i));
v_buffer_size := utl_raw.length(v_buffer);
dbms_lob.writeappend(v_blob, v_buffer_size, v_buffer);
end loop;
insert into
blobtable(id, report_file) values
(seqence.nextval
,v_blob);
commit;
owa_util.mime_header('application/pdf', FALSE);
owa_util.http_header_close;
wpg_docload.download_file(v_blob);
end;
Does anyone have a solution on this problem, or can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

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.

Problem with web.show_document with Jinitiator and Firefox

Not sure Firefox 2.0 is officially certified with Forms 9.0.4.1 and Jinitiatorbut regardless we have some users who want to use this combination. Everything seems to work fine except for the calls to web.show_document which opens a new browser window and displays some html etc.
The problem is that even though the client Forms JVM is Jinitiator (1.3.1.18 or .21) when the call to web.show_document occurs somehow the Sun Java Plugin starts and having the two JVM's at once causes a fatal crash in Firefox. Can anyone suggest a way to preven the second JVM from opening?
When the user uses the Sun Plug as the client Forms JVM there is no problem as the second JVM does not open. Unfortunately some users insist on Jinitiator with Firefox hence the problem. -quinn

James,
This whole applet embedded in a browser model for webforms is driving us batty at times. The list of problems includes:
1) Users are constantly tempted by browser controls and accidentally do all sorts of things to get them in trouble. This has included but not limited to using the navigation arrows, jumping off to read their email in the same window as the form and returning to a dead forms session, minimizing, resizing, blurring off to another window and then returning back by clicking on the title bar of the browser and wondering why the form doesn't tab etc.
Sure hobbling the browser by opening with limited functionality is a possibility but not a complete solution.
2) New versions of browsers seem to break something. Both IE 7 and Firefox 2 have their own problems with web.show_document, especially file associations such as CSV and DBF and trying to open things in Excel in IE7.Firefox seems to have less problems for some yet some some oddities like the one that started this thread (and 2.0 opening new windows in tabs by default instead of windows).
3) JVM jigsaw puzzle. Is it Jinit or Sun, which versions? Which combinations of browser version and JVM works.
4) General fragility of the whole architecture. Running a client JVM in a web browser on top of a PC Operating system connectiong to a forms server over a network embedded in a Java Container server on a full blown web server running on a unix operating system is pushing the bubble. Throw in the mix that any of these components can be combined in numerous ways makes one wonder how it works as well as it does.
Still users randomly getting dropped connections to forms server (network gltches?). General sluggishness (poorly written forms?). Periods of users with unduplicatable errors primarily network related it would appear.
General feel that it is not rock solid stable. Perusing metalink documents on performance and tuning gives too much and too general info to troubleshoot so just shrug shoulders and say 'network problem'.
What's the solution? Java webstart would seem to help at least with the browser realted issues but is that supported and documented how to use yet. Also we'd lose web_show_document which is critical (could it be replaced by webutil calls to open browser?).

How to show records with zero on dashboard

hi expert,
if I have a dimension table product,
a fact table
if in the db, there are records with zero values of product A.
if the logical column for the fact is SUM(...).
how to show records with zero values on dashboard.
Use the outer join?
or other method?
I dont wanna use outer join because it makes the PRD be so complicated

hi,
Pull all the columns to criteria ,it will show NULL for a product
To get zero,on the fact column use IFNULL(fact_col,0)
which will look like this

[Solved] Problem with Web.show_document

Hi all,
In the custom.pll I use a Web.show_document() to get a file from the server.
The URL is for example "http://10.0.0.20/test/159083.apn"
I tested this and the browser (IE) is opening this file as a text file.
Now I want that the .apn file must be opened with a specific program. So I added .apn to the registry.
I typed manually http://10.0.0.20/test/159083.apn in the browser and the program I prefer is starting up now.
But if the custom.pll executes the Web.show_document() now in a split second I see a flash of a screen and that screen is closed again. I don't know what screen but I think it is the browser.
After that nothing happens anymore.
Does someone here has any idea of what is going wrong

Solved it.
It's a browser security issue.
In the custom security settings "Automatic prompting for file downloads" must be enabled.
If this is disabled you normal get the yellow warning bar. But with Web.show_document() the browser opens and closes very fast.

How does Openscript Interact with web components ?

I was wondering how does openscript interact with web objects (eg Edit boxes, buttons), is it through some JNI api ? If yes in which package I can find this ?

I am going to make the assumption from your comments that you are asking about using OpenScript to test applications based on Apple's WebObjects server. If that is a bad assumption let me know ...
The scripts you build against the application will work in a similar manner to those that are built against other java based application servers in that the tool will be using the various key attributes of the html objects to locate them and replicate actions against them. Typical UI driven scripting ... That said, if your testing brings you down a level from the UI and you are trying to test some of the components of the application server tier specifically, well, then you might have to write your own java code to do it.

WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT opens additiional IE browser.

Hi All,
I am using web.show_document (web.show_document('file:///file_name','_blank') ) to open pdf and msg files stored at a location. For PDF files, web.show_document works fine and pdf file gets open. However for msg (email) files, a new browser gets open along with msg file. User need to close this additional browser.
Also the word files opens in IE browser. We need not to open MS office files in IE browser.
Any suggestions to overcome this issue.
Regards,
Vinit
Edited by: Vinit on Feb 21, 2011 2:37 AM

Vinit,
Your code explicetly opens a new "Blank" browser window. The reason the new browser window goes away with the .pdf files is because you have an OS MIME association for .pdf's which controls how the file is opened on the OS. Clearly, there is no MIME association for the other file types.
web.show_document (web.show_document('file:///file_name','_blank') )Try '_self' or '_parent' in place of '_blank'. For more information on the Web.Show_Document built-in please check the Forms Help system.

If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

Reports 9i Printing from Forms with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT

I want to print a Report from Forms via WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT directly to the printer and it works fine.
But every time i print it from my web application a new browser-windows opens and shows a message "Printed successfully" or something like that. If I start the printjob again nothing happens - if I press the Browser-Refresh-Button in the new Browser-Windows with the Message ("Printed Successfully") it prints.
So now I have 2 questions:
a) How can I disable the "Printed successfully"-Message
b) What hava I to do that I not must press on the Refresh-Button to start the printing again
I hope I hava explained my problem clearly. 4
Here ist the complet WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT-Command I fire in Forms when a Button is pressed:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://mymachine:8888/reports/rwservlet?report=testreport.rdf&destype=printer&desname=\\NTS32\VZ_D3&desformat=html&userid='|| sUser ||'/'|| sPW ||'@'|| sDB,'_blank');
Many thanx for your help!
Regards
Marc

Hello,
for the problem:
b) What hava I to do that I not must press on the Refresh-Button to start the printing again
may be it just a setting in your Browser ?
For Internet Explorer :
go to I.E General Options screen. click on settings button and choose
"Every visit to the page " option.
