Integrating reports into form builder

When I created a form menu to display different reports, (and set the destination type to screen) I thought I was flying. After getting all my reports to be displayed in runtime, I then tried to set the destination type to printer, I set the destination name to the correct printer path, compiled successfully... Then hit a snag.
The following error is displayed in runtime:
'FRM-40378 Argument1 to builtin REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS cannot be null'
I assume it is refering to my button's triger code that displays the report:
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep varchar2(100);
rep_status varchar2(20);
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('MODULE1Q');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
if rep_status = 'FINISHED' then
Message('Report Completed');
copy_report_object_output(v_rep,'d:\DELOPEMENT\MODULE1Q.rdf');
--host('netscape d:\DELOPEMENT\MENU.rdf');
else
message('Error when running report.');
end if;
END;
Oh well, getting closer every time. Any ideas anyone?
Kind Regards

Hello,
Do you use the RBE or the reports server ?
If you use the RBE, check in the RBE Log if there is any error message .
(Menu Actions / Show log)
If you use a reports server, you can add a line:
logoption = alljob
in the <repservername>.ora file and check in the <repservername>.log file

Run report thru form builder

hi
I have a table
EMP(empname varchar2(30),
empno varchar2(20),
add1 varchar2(60),
add2 varchar2(60),
sal number(10,2),
comm number(10,2)
i want create a report and
parameter form and run it thru form builder
can it possible i select column name in parameter as a list and report
show data only these column
if any solution plz help me
with thanx

I think you can achieve this as follows:
set up a new parameter, say P_FIELD, with initial value of empname
in your data model have an sql something like
Select
P_FIELD as field1 from EMP
pass the column name to P_FIELD and the report will return that column

Get back old values into Form Building Application

I have a database trigger that raised an error message when a record is no allowed to change/update. I would like to know how I go back to the old values and reflect these into my application.
I use Oracle Forms Building Version 9.0.2.10.1 (Production) under Window XP system. Below is the database trigger code:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "DBDSCHM".AAPT_REVIEWS_BUR
BEFORE UPDATE ON AAPT_REVIEWS
REFERENCING OLD AS OLD NEW AS NEW
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
Aaap_approved          EXCEPTION;
BEGIN
IF (Aapfn_List_Items_Desc(:OLD.AREV_STATUS) = 'APPROVED' AND
:OLD.AREV_CREATED_BY = 'AAPTRF' AND
               :OLD.AREV_MODIFIED_BY = 'AAPTRF') THEN
RAISE Aaap_approved;
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN Aaap_approved     THEN                                                            RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(40509,'This Review cannot be modified. '||
     'AAP Approved prior to Conversion');
END aapt_review_bur;
SHOW ERROR

Thanks John, but the proposed of this trigger is to prevent any user to update the records that were loader prior to the Data Loader. That is the reason that this trigger has a condition to compare the old value with the new value. Please, see the syntaxes below:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER "DBDSCHM".AAPT_REVIEWS_BUR
BEFORE UPDATE ON AAPT_REVIEWS
REFERENCING OLD AS OLD NEW AS NEW
FOR EACH ROW
/* This trigger prevents to modify any AAP review */
/* that was already approved PRIOR TO THE Conversion.*/
BEGIN
IF (Aapfn_List_Items_Desc(:OLD.AREV_STATUS) = 'APPROVED' AND
(:OLD.AREV_CREATED_BY = 'AAPTRF') AND (:OLD.AREV_MODIFIED_BY = 'AAPTRF')) THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20090,'This Review cannot be modified. AAP Approved prior to Conversion');
END IF;
END aapt_review_bur;
What I really want is that when the above trigger fire and the user receive the raise application message meaning that the user could not updated the record. But the wrong value still show on the form and it will keep getting this error until you put back the previous value. What I really want is to be able to raise the application error and to show back any values that were tried to modify.

Run report 9i from form builder 9i

Dear all,
I build report from report builder 9i.
How to run this report in form builder 9i.
Best regards,
Jansen Hutagalung.

Jansen,
I really like short questions, but yours missing the point. What do you mean by running Reports from Forms builder? Do you mean how to run it from a Forms application started from Forms builder? There is a Whitepaper in teh collateral section of otn.oracle.com/products/forms that immediately makes you an expert in Forms/Reports integration

Forms Builder - form not pulling the data from the DB into the datablock

I'm working on a school project, and I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if something is wrong with my setup.
I created a basic form, 3 fields, and ID, firstname and lastname
the wizard connected fine, pulled the three fields into forms builder
I setup a canvas - type content with the a form format layout of the three fields.
saved the form.
When I run the form and it's displayed, nothing gets pulled into the fields (all blank).
Shouldn't it pull at least the first row from the table?
it says it's on record 1/1
XP, Oracle 10g, Form builder 10.1.2,
I'm not getting any errors
I want to get this basic form working first, before I start adding to it, and it doesn't seem to want to cooperate.
I've done the same steps as in the tutorials....

I did find that, if I put data in the ID, first and lastname on the form, and click Execute & Save on the Menu, it does add it to the database.
Maybe what I'm missing, is how do I get the form to read from the database when it starts up?

Desname parameter works fine in Report builder but fails in Forms builder

Hi,
I need some help with my current task. Here is my problem.
I am working on Oracle 10g. My reports and Forms builder version is 10.1.2.3.0.
My objective is to use Forms builder to call a report which will direct the output directly to the printer without preview.
First , in report builder , I use the Parameter Form builder and set Report parameter DESTYPE = PRINTER and the DESNAME automatically changes to PCL6 ( which is the network printer name I am using).
When I run the report , the output is directed to the printer and it works just fine.
But in Forms builder , when I call the same report, set the DESTYPE as Printer and DESNAME as 'PCL6' , it gives an error Invalid printer name 'PCL6' specified by parameter DESNAME.
I tried searching in this forum, it says the error is due to an invalid printer name specified in the DESNAME. But if my printer name is invalid, I wonder how the same printer name works well in Report builder?
My coding in Forms as below :
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY( repid, REPORT_DESTYPE,PRINTER);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY( repid, REPORT_DESNAME,'PCL6');
Appreciate if anyone can help. Thanks
Regards
Shiva

Hi Puppethead,
I have tried with your suggestions.
the following condition -- did not work
( (mgr_name = :manager name)
OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(:manager name, 'ALL', '%', NULL)))
but for the other condition ---
( (mgr_name = :manager name)
OR (mgr_name LIKE DECODE(nvl(:manager name, 'ALL'), 'ALL', '%', NULL)))
is wrong because, :manager name cud be null, when it is null, it takes 'ALL' i.e. '%' which shud not be the case.
if the user enters null, it has to display records with null only but with the above condition it takes '%'
The main issue which i dont understand is, the report works fine for the first time. for the second time, the report takes null values . why is it taking null values for the second time.
Thanks

Printing a report from Forms 9i

Hi all
I have to print a report from Forms 9i, but I can't do it directly, I have to execute it with desname = preview and then I can print it.
I use the following sintax
RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC(repid, v_server_name,'pdf',printer,v_path,v_report,'paramform=no'|| other parameter....,v_servlet)
where v_path is the name of the printer and run_report_object is a procedure to execute reports into forms
I try to set v_path with the printer name on my client and on the server.. but it doesn't find it...
Please help me,
Thanks in advance

Path to XML form builder reports in Portal

Hi Experts,
I am facing one issue. We have few XML forms builder screens in Portal.
Those were appearing fine but now one of them is not appearing properly.
Please let me know under KM , where these reports are stored so that I can check whether these reports.

Srini,
The XML forms are under etc-xml forms.
However, if the forms are not appearing properly, you would have to open it in XML forms builder and check.
Assign yourself the Content Management role. Check this wiki for more details.

Pls Help: View Crystal Report Via Oracle Form Builder

Hi!!
I want to know how to view the .rpt report (report made from Crystal Report) via Oracle Form Builder. I've to do it in my project. If you know, please tell me.
Thanks in advance,

I don't know how does crystal reports work, and I would guess you should ask the crystal guys to help you with this. find out if they have a command line interface that you can invoke from the host command in forms.
We can help you do it with Oracle Reports though :-)

How to make Form builder 10g step into libraries *.pll while remote debug

How to make Form builder 10g step into libraries *.pll while remote debug. It attaches fine and goes through code located in form but skips pll's. In this case I am interested in debuging CUSTOM.pll. How to step into pll's and is it possible at all?

Is the library in the same directory or within your FORMS_PATH? Note that the runtime setting in the default.env doesn't work for the builder.
cheers

Report Builder remove toolbar when running integrated report

Hi there,
I am using Report Builder 3.0.
I want to remove the toolbar (http://screencast.com/t/HDbGHZXz3vJa) when I am running some of my reports but not all of my integrated reports. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance :)

Hi chesternut,
According to your description, you want to hide the Toolbar in report manager when preview some reports. As far as I know, reporting Services provides default style (.css) files (usually in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS%.MSSQLSERVER \Reporting
Services\ReportServer\Styles) that define styles for the report toolbar in HTML Viewer for Report Manager. So we can modify some default settings to customize the toolbar, but these settings would affect all reports in report manager.
In Reporting Service, we can hide Toolbar in specified reports by setting the Toolbar parameter to false as below:
http://<servername>/reportserver?/Folder/Report&rs:Command=Render&rc:Toolbar=false
For more information about URL access, please refer to the following article:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms152835.aspx
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Wendy Fu
