Run report from PL/sql procedure

Please any one tell how to I run a report from pl/sql procedure.

I am not sure, but depending on your environment you can create a script to run your PL/SQL code and then generate the report. As is customary in an UNIX environment utilizing shell scripts.

How to extract row_id from PL/SQL procedure and assign that to batch script

Hello Team,
I am stuck with a requirement, wherein I am running a batch script and within the batch script I am calling a procedure which inserts a record in a table (Including a column named l_id).
I need this generated l_id to be passed on as a variable to batch script after PL/SQL procedure completion. So that I can refer this same l_id to update the same record in the table again in the same batch script in the later part.
Looking for some suggestions!!!!
Thanks

Looking for some suggestions!!!!Don't do this using batch scripts. Batch scripts are very much inferior compared to stored PL/SQL code when it comes to managing databases processes and performing data crunching.
Why can't this be written entirely in PL/SQL? And execution managed from either DBMS_JOB or DBMS_SCHEDULER ? And before answering that, consider the following:
- what is the superior language, PL/SQL or shell script?
- what provides tighter integration with the database, PL/SQL or shell script?
- what provides proper security and access control, PL/SQL or shell script?
As you can call SQL*Plus from a shell script to run PL/SQL, you can call a shell script from PL/SQL instead to run external commands and processes.
Use the right tool for the job. And shell scripting is an excellent tool - but only when correctly used. Are you using it correctly? I strongly doubt that...

Send a report to report server from PL/SQL Procedure

Hi Report Gurus,
Please can I know how to run a report from pl/sql stored procedure. Is there any way to execute URL from PL/SQL?
Thanks,
Simi.

Why, yes there is!
If you're talking about PL/SQL stored in the database, check the function UTL_HTTP.REQUEST. A "describe utl_http" in SQL*Plus will do the trick.
But if you're talking about PL/SQL inside Forms, you can use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT instead.
Hope this helps,

Generating reports from PL/SQL

I'm new to the world of BI Publisher - so far I'm impressed with what I've seen. I've managed to create a report and an RTF template and generate some nice looking PDF's :)
What I need to do now is to have a nightly job that produces PDF shipment reports using my template for all new shipments generated during the day and I'm having a little difficulty putting it all together.
I've looked at the BI Publisher API's that allow me to generate an XSL from my RTF template and the using the FO engine merge the XSL and XML data to produce the PDF. Then using the delivery manager API's I can send these reports out via email.
I'm a little unsure of how to get the XML source - I've played around with the DataEngine API to generate XML from a SQL query so I think that's where I should be heading.
Does this all sounds right ? Ideally, I want to be able to do all of this from within a scheduled PL/SQL job every night but all the interaction with the BI server seems to be via Java.
Is there an easy(ish) way to run all of this from within PL/SQL ?
And should I be going about this by:
1/ generate XML data using dataengine API
2/ create an RTF template using word and the xml data generated above
3/ use the RTF processor to generate an XSL-FO from my RTF template
(1-3 will only need to be done once)
4/ Then my nightly job will use the dataengine to generate new shipment XML data
5/ use FO processor to generate PDF's from each
6/ use delivery manager API's to email out
All sounds very cumbersome and intense -is there no easier way ?! :) Also, I'm thinking i should be using the bursting engine to split one query containing all the new shipment data and generate/mail a PDF for each shipment ? Is that necessary if all going to the same email address ?
Help/guidance/suggestions greatly appreciated !
Many thanks,
Brent

Hello,
a package is provided : srwAPIins.sql installs the Event-Driven Publishing API.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_evnt.htm
The Event-Driven Publishing API is a PL/SQL package that provides the basic functions required for the development of procedures that respond to events in the database. Event-driven jobs are submitted using the HTTP protocol. The server assigns a unique job_ident record to every call, useful for tracking the status of the job.

Creating Excel Workbook from PL/SQL Procedure

I am trying to create Excel Workbook with two worksheets from PL/SQL procedure. I created one worksheet. Can I create a separate sheet from same procedure. I used OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER ('application/vnd.ms-excel', FALSE)
command to create the spreadsheet.
Any help would be helpful.
Thanks
Yagna Shah

Further to my previous post here is how I will develop a typical master details excel report.
by using the package,
It will also show sum of salary at each department.
Note : When I paste the code here I loose the indentation. So the code below is not indented properly.
DECLARE
r NUMBER := 0 ; --- r IS the ROW NUMBER IN this excel file

gen_xl_xml.create_style( 'emp_title' , 'Arial', 'Black',9, p_backcolor => 'LightBlue' );
gen_xl_xml.create_style( 'sal_tot' , 'Arial', 'Brown',13, p_backcolor => 'Yellow' );
-- SET ANY COLUMN AND ROW changes
gen_xl_xml.set_column_width( 3, 145 );
gen_xl_xml.set_column_width( 4, 145 );
l_sum := 0 ;
FOR recd IN ( SELECT department_id, department_name FROM departments ) LOOP

l_sum := 0;
END if ;
r := r+1 ;
gen_xl_xml.write_cell_CHAR( r,1, 'Department : '|| recd.department_name , 'dept_title' );

How to run report from form using run_object_report

I AM USNING FORMS9I/REPORTS 9I , HOW TO RUN REPORT FROM FROM USING RUN_REPORT_OBJECT AND HOW
TO PASS PARAMETER AS WE DID IN RUN_REPORTS PLEASE HELP ME

here an example !
I hope this example you can use it
PROCEDURE pr_reporte IS
BEGIN
DECLARE
     repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status Varchar2(20);
d1 DATE;
d2 DATE;

     repid := find_report_object('rep_lab02');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'p_fec_uno='||to_char((add_months(last_day(d1),-1) +1),'DD/MM/YYYY')||' '||
     'p_fec_dos='||to_char(d2,'DD/MM/YYYY'));
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'pdf');
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
     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 rep_status = 'FINISHED' then
          WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver','_blank');
     ELSE
          ventana('E','error reporte no encontrado','S');
     END IF;
END;
END;
The 'rep_lab02' is the name of the report that you give in the node reports
p_fec_uno and p_fec_dos they are the parameters in the report
repserver is the name of server created with rwserver

Here in this case even though i specify the report id in the parameter,debugger message says that 'You did not specify the name'.
The same code is working in some other server and giving the pdf output.
Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Hello Chirag,
If you want to invoke and run a report from your PL/SQL code in the database, you can do so by installing and using the SRW package supplied with Reports. This package allows you to run parametrized report jobs on a specified Reports Server from your PL/SQL program and track the job status. Please take a look at the documentation for this package in the Publishing Reports manual on OTN at: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/A92102_01/toc.htm.
On the other hand, if you just need to invoke the Reports Builder program from your PL/SQL routine, you would need to use the default builtin for calling external applications from PL/SQL.
Thanks,
The Oracle Reports Team.

Sending message from PL/SQL procedure to form

Hello Friends,
How can I send messages from PL/SQL procedure to Form ?
Ultimate target is catching progress of PL/SQL procedure from
form. I heard about DBMS_PIPe but not sure,.
Adi

Hello,
Yeah , I got the solution using DBMS_PIPE function,I
followed following steps.
1. Pipe is created. see below procedure.
create or replace procedure proc_testpipe as
     v_pipe_integer          integer;
     v_pipe_message          integer;
begin
     v_pipe_integer := DBMS_PIPE.Create_Pipe('adipipe');
     dbms_pipe.pack_message('Hello Adinath Kamode,Message
     from Pipe');
     v_pipe_message := dbms_Pipe.Send_message('adipipe');
     end;
end;
2. then I created one Function which will obtain message from
Pipe and
will return value to form.
create or replace function proc_callpipe return varchar2 as
v_msg          integer;
v_rem          integer;
v_message          varchar2(500);
begin
v_msg:=dbms_pipe.receive_message('adipipe');
dbms_pipe.unpack_message(v_message);
dbms_pipe.purge('adipipe');
v_rem := dbms_pipe.remove_pipe('adipipe');
return(v_message);
end;
3. Last I called this function from form.
Cheers .. !
Adi

Returing array from PL/SQL procedure

Hi,
I am trying to return array from PL/SQL procedure. Heres is the code. I am getting an error "OracleParameter.ArrayBindSize is invalid ".
Will anybody let me know what is wrong in following code. or does anybody have code to return PL/SQL array using VB.NET.
oCommand.CommandText = "MyPack.TestVarchar2"
oCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim id As Integer = 10
Dim deptname As String()
Dim oParam1 As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter = New Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter("id", Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDbType.Int32)
Dim oParam2 As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter = New Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter("deptname", Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDbType.Varchar2)
oParam1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
oParam2.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
oParam1.CollectionType = Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCollectionType.None
oParam2.CollectionType = Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCollectionType.PLSQLAssociativeArray
oParam1.Value = id
oParam2.Value = ""
oParam1.Size = 10
oParam2.Size = 20
oCommand.Parameters.Add(oParam1)
oCommand.Parameters.Add(oParam2)
oCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Thanks
Sameer

Thanks Arnold for the reply..
Yes, I am trying to get result set in array which is unknow to me (No of rows return by the query). For the test I will pre-define the result set so that I will able to set ArrayBindSize.
I have read C# example but when I try to write it in VB.NET it gives me syntax error when I try to set the ArrayBindSize.
oParam.ArrayBindSize = new int[3]{15,23,13} // individual max size of 3 outputsWill you please let me know how to set ArrayBindSize (VB.NET) because I am new to this..
There is an example at otn "How to: Bind an Array to an ODP.NET Database Command" which does multiple INSERTs in one trip to database. This works fine. I need to do same for the SELECT statement which will return me multiple rows. I do not mean refCursor. If I use refCursor, it will make soft parse which I am trying to avoid using this Array techniq.
Thanks
Sameer
