How to submit a concurrent request from Discoverer report.

I would like to know If any one has tried submitting a concurrent request from Discoverer Report?_
This is no stupid question, but our team here finally decided with a solution to our long pending issues with few of the discoverer report. To Proceed further, we would like to know, how to submit a concurrent request from Discoverer report?
We are looking for calling a package from the Disco admin by passing the parameters from the disco to the 6i report.
All help us in this regards are much appreciated.
Kindly help us in the same!
Thanks
Arun

Thanks Rod for confirming the same.
I will be trying the same today and will let you know if I succeed in doing it.
If I can share the actual requirement with you, it goes like this.
"I will be triggering the Oracle 6i standard AP Trail balance report through the Disco report. The standard report will be inserting the required data to one of my custom table. Once the concurrent program completes normal, my custom table will be having the required data to create the workbook specific to the current run of the concurrent program.
The one problem which I think could happen is, How can I make my disco report to wait till the standard program to complete in normal so that my disco report can be generated with the data from custom table.
Will the above requirement is possible If I follow the way you mention in the PDF or Could you suggest a better way for achieving the same.
In short, my requirement is: The custom table(say XX_TABLE) will be populated with data when the standard 6i report is run and the disco admin will be making of the custom table (XX_TABLE) to generate the report.
Please advice.
Thanks
Arun

hi,
This question suppose to be in framework forum.
you can try:
OA Framework provides the ConcurrentRequest class to call the concurrent program from the page. The submitRequest() method in the ConcurrentRequest class takes 6 parameters and returns request id of the submitted concurrent request:
public int submitRequest(
String ProgramApplication ,
String ProgramName ,
String ProgramDescription ,
String StartTime,
boolean SubRequest,
Vector Parameters ) throws RequestSubmissionException
ProgramApplication -Application Short name of application under which the program is registered.
ProgramName - Concurrent Program Name for which the request has to be submitted
ProgramDescription - Concurrent Program Description
StartTime - Time at which the request has to start running.
SubRequest - Set to TRUE if the request is submitted from another running request and has to be treated as a sub request.
Parameters - Parameters of the concurrent Request
Here is the example for calling a concurrent program from a OA framework page.
import oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request.ConcurrentRequest;
import oracle.apps.fnd.framework.server.OADBTransaction;
public int submitCPRequest(Number headerId) {
try {
OADBTransaction tx = (OADBTransaction)getDBTransaction();
java.sql.Connection pConncection = tx.getJdbcConnection();
ConcurrentRequest cr = new ConcurrentRequest(pConncection);
String applnName = "PO"; //Application that contains the concurrent program
String cpName = "POXXXX"; //Concurrent program name
String cpDesc = "Concurrent Program Description"; // concurrent Program description
// Pass the Arguments using vector
// Here i have added my parameter headerId to the vector and passed the vector to the concurrent program
Vector cpArgs = new Vector();
cpArgs.addElement(headerId.stringValue());
// Calling the Concurrent Program
int requestId = cr.submitRequest(applnName, cpName, cpDesc, null, false, cpArgs);
tx.commit();
return requestId;
} catch (RequestSubmissionException e) {
OAException oe = new OAException(e.getMessage());
oe.setApplicationModule(this);
throw oe;

How to submit a Concurrent Request Set from OAF

All,
I understand we can submit a concurrent program from OAF using
oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request.ConcurrentRequest.submitRequest( String pApplication,
                    String pProgram,
                    String pDescription,
                    String pStartTime,
                    boolean pSubRequest,
                    Vector pArgArray) method,
But the class ConcurrentRequest don't have any method to submit a concurrent request set. The workaround is directly call the pl/sql package FND_SUBMIT.submit_program.
Is there any other oracle.apps.fnd.cp.request.* class have method to call a concurrent request set?
Thanks.
With Regards,
Kali.
OSSI.

Sorry for my typo.....! I meant use the pl/sql way, there is no standard solution for this in OAF.
didn't get what you mean by,
You mean i need to use FND_SUBMIT.submit_program? or you want me to check in OAF itself?
>>Kali, You can use [b]fnd_submit.submit_set , this is explained "Application Developer User Guide"!
Even i tried to use that PL/SQL FND_SUBMIT.submit_program, that is returning BOOLEAN so i am facing the problem which you have discussed in the forum
>>Use the work around i suggested in the thread u mentioned in ur reply.

How to submit a concurrent program from a custom form.

I'm use Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.26.0 (Production) and Oracle Applications : 11.5.10.2.
I need execute a concurrent program from a custom form.
In the custom form I have a button and when that button is clicked I want to submit this cocurrent program. I am using the below code.
fnd_profile.get('USER_ID', v_user_id);
fnd_profile.get('RESP_ID', v_resp_id);
fnd_profile.get('RESP_APPL_ID', v_resp_appl_id);
fnd_global.apps_initialize(v_user_id,v_resp_id,v_resp_appl_id);
vn_request_id := apps.fnd_request.submit_request (
'XBOL',
'CSUV_GL_STATEMENT_EXPORT'
,NULL
,NULL
,FALSE
commit;
But the concurrent program finished in error:
"ORACLE error 6550 in FDPSTP
Cause: FDPSTP failed due to ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'MAIN'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:

The SQL statement being execute"
The executable of the concurrent program is the next:
PACKAGE CSUV_GL_STATEMENT_EXPORT_PK
IS
PROCEDURE Main (
pouc_errbuf OUT VARCHAR2,
poun_retcode OUT NUMBER,
pinc_OWNER in varchar2,
pinc_VESSEL in varchar2,
pind_GL_DATE in varchar2,
pinc_STATE_NUM in varchar2,
pind_STATE_DATE in varchar2,
pinc_EXCEL_LAYOUT in varchar2
END CSUV_GL_STATEMENT_EXPORT_PK;
And de value set of the all my concurrent program parameters is "240 Characters".
I dont't understand why the concurrent program finished wrong.

How to submit a HTTP Request from a Java Program

I am working on an web based application where in I need to submit the HttpRequest through a Java Program and not through browser. Moreover my intent is just to submit the HttpRequest. I donot want to wait for the response to come back. I have used the URL Connection class to do the same and I am trying to post this request. The contents of the methods that I am using are as below:-
public void doPost(URL url, String inputXMLString) throws IOException
          //Create URLConnection based on the passed URL
          URLConnection connection = url.openConnection();
          connection.setDoOutput(true);
          connection.setDoInput(false);
          connection.setUseCaches(false);
          connection.setAllowUserInteraction(false);
          connection.setRequestProperty("Content-type", "application/x-www-form-
urlencoded");
          //Get the Connection's output stream and write the request to it.
          PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(connection.getOutputStream());
          out.print("&ena-request-input=" + URLEncoder.encode(inputXMLString));
          out.flush();
          out.close();
Call to the above method does not invoke the URL I am intending to submit the request at.
Can anybody give me the clue....................................................?

I agree with the advice to launch a new thread to read and ignore the response. I don't think you should have to do it to make it work, but it's worth trying for two reasons:
1) If it turns out it does make it work, well, then either you can leave it that way, or use that as a clue to help figure out how to make it work the way you want.
2) There may be an error message there that will give you an idea why it's not working.
When you say it's not invoking the servlet, what does that mean, and how do you know? Is it just that the final results aren't being seen? Put a bunch of logging statements in the servlet. It could be that it's getting hit, but you're corrupting the string you're building, or sending some extra junk that it can't handle. Spit out a log statement from the start of doPost, to see if it's even getting there. Then log the parameter. Enclose the output in quotes or braces or something to make sure there's not extra junk. I've had XML docs not parse because there was a blank line at the beginning.
If it works in the browser but not from your standalone app, then you need to have the servlet tell what difference it sees in the two cases. Print out headers, other params, everything you can think of.
Re-read the docs for URL, HttpURL, whatever, to make sure you're doing all the right steps in the right order. Make a servlet that just takes a single, simple param=value via POST and see if you can get that to work.

How to Submit a Concurrent program from OAF page Button?

Hi Anil,
I got the same requirment. The requirement was we need to create a Print PO button on the OAF page and when we click the button, we need to display the PO in pdf format by calling a concurrent program(XML) based on the PO type.
My approach was below.
1. Create the button using Personilization.
2. Extend the controller class and add the code to call the concurent request.
Can you please guide me how to create the button using personilization. When I created the button, this was shown on the OAF page. But I don't get the hand symbol on that button to click that button.
Also please give me the approach of extending the controller and AM.
Thanks for your help

How to acquire the concurrent request id in data template?

Hi all,
I want to know how to acquire the concurrent request from my report data template. I've created a placeholder for my parameter +<parameter name="p_conc_request_id" dataType = "number" defaultValue="0"></parameter>+ and for nothing ... i've got the 0 value.
I need the concurrent request id in order to detect the user who launched the report. Is there other way on getting the user ??
Thank you!
All the best,
Laurentiu
Edited by: laurentiu on Jul 8, 2009 5:29 PM

Hi,
I read your previous post about this solution but i was not able to retrieve it. Here is step by step what i've done:
- added the parameter to my data template
- added the parameter to my concurrent program
- added the parameter in my pl/sql package
- i've run my concurrent request and the value returned in my xml is 0 for the concurrent request id parameter
I don't know where i'am getting wrong ?!?
Thank you!
All the best,

How to Spawn a concurrent program from another Concurrent Program

Hi,
I need to write a concurrent program with PL/sql procedure. Inside this procedure, for a cursor data, for each record I need to spawn another concurrent program. How can I do this. Should I call a concurrent program using fnd_request.submit_request?
Any suggestions?
Thanks,

Correct - you will need to use FND_REQUEST. Pl use the search feature of these forums to find old threads that discuss this topic

Looking at the 11.5.10 version of the [Oracle Applications Developer's Guide|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_18/current/html/docset.html] on page 21-32 - it states that the FND_REQUEST function must know information about the user and responsibility that is submitting the request. Therefore, the function only works from concurrent programs or forms within Oracle Applications. There are ways around this by initializing this information in your session before your call to SUBMIT_REQUEST. I've never tried this from a Report, but I've done it from PL/SQL that executes outside of Apps. You could try the following to see if it works.
DECLARE
     n_RESP_APPL_ID          NUMBER;
     n_RESP_ID          NUMBER;
     n_USER_ID          NUMBER;
     n_REQUEST_ID          NUMBER;
BEGIN
     n_RESP_APPL_ID := apps.FND_PROFILE.VALUE('RESP_APPL_ID');
     n_RESP_ID := apps.FND_PROFILE.VALUE('RESP_ID');
     n_USER_ID := apps.FND_PROFILE.VALUE('USER_ID');
     apps.FND_GLOBAL.Apps_Initialize(n_USER_ID, n_RESP_ID, n_RESP_APPL_ID);
     /* I prefer to use Named Notation for this call rather than enter placeholders for all 100+ parameters to SUBMMIT_REQUEST */
     n_REQUEST_ID := apps.fnd_request.submit_request(
                                   application => 'SQLAP',
                                   program => 'IPCS_ACH_VENDOR_PAYMENT1',
                                   start_time => To_Char(sysdate,'DD-MON-YYYY',
                                   argument1 => :P_PAYMENT_BATCH
                                   );Obviously, I don't know all of the parameters you need for your request, so I made a "BEST GUESS" based on your code sample so I doubt my example call to Submit_Request will work if you Copy-N-Paste. Make sure you use the correct parameters when you try this in your report.
Hope this helps.

Can you check from which schema you are executing FND_REQUEST? You can try as follows;
Connect to your required schema, create a synonym on apps.fnd_request, connect from apps and finally execute grant all on apps.fnd_request to all.
You can check for relevance from Doc ID: Note:147495.1
Please do keep in the mind the soultion above should be applied to a test/dev EBS instance first.
I hope this would be of help.

What is the best way to submit a Concurrent Request over a DB Link?

Hi,
We have a requirement to submit a Concurrent Request over a DB Link. What is the best way to do this?
What I've done so far is I've created a function in the EBS instance that executes FND_GLOBAl.APPS_INITIALIZE and submits the Concurrent Request. I then call this function remotely from our NON-EBS database. It seems to work fine but I found out from metalink article id 466800.1 that this is not recommended.
