Inter-dependent Lists in the Reports Parameter Form...

In Oracle Reports 10g, is there any way that we can make the lists interdependent. I mean suppose if the reports take two parameters, one is department id and another one is employee id. I want to show only those employee ids in the list who belongs to the department id which is selected from the first list.

Hello,
This topic has already been discussed in this Forum ...

REP-50134 occurs when using the submit button on the Reports Parameter Form

Good Morning,
I get the "REP-50134: Cache subitem reports does not exist" error after clicking on the Submit Button from a Reports parameter form.
I am using Forms/Reprots 9i.
Using the source code given in the Whitepaper 'Oracle Forms Services - Using Run_Report_Object() to call Reports with a parameter form', all works well when paramform=no, but when I have a Form print a report with paramform=yes, the parameter form appears correctly, but generates the error after clicking the Submit Button.
Any inputs as to causation or possible places to look to solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hello and thanks.
The value in the tag is <form method=post action="reports?">
Looking at this I suspect my problem is related to this setting. I am trying to follow all the instructions in the White Papers but they are a little confusing as they are not all exactly the same. Each attempts to explain a specific functionality without regards to the whole.
For instance I believe I need to have the variables P_ACTION, P_USER_CONNECT and P_SERVER_NAME in the report being called and then add a Before Parameter Form trigger to reset the values. But this seems to duplicate and override what has already been sent via the REPORT_OTHERS property. It is a tad bit confusing.
Can you confirm?
Thanks for any clarification you can provide.

Report Parameter form not showing list of values in Report svr

I was using reports 6i where I used to have list box in report parameter form. I now converted recompiled my reports in 10g and when I run I am not geting the list of values. I get the values as a list below the field
ex.
ITEM :___________
box,book,pencil,rubber,
dvd,floppy...
previously it was coming as a list in the item field
thanks

Hello,
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/topics/htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs/rwwhthow/howto/params/pmp_creating_list_of_values.htm?tp=true
If you run the report from a Web browser and the list of values is unrestricted, the HTML Parameter Form will display a text field instead of a combo box, and a list of static values that you can copy and paste into the text field.

Not getting Reports Parameter Form in web-forms environ

I am not able to get a report parameter form to appear for a
report called from forms via a 'run_product' command. It works
fine in client/server mode. In web-forms the report just goes
ahead and runs without the needed parameters. I have tried
explicitly passing a parameter list with the 'paramform' set to
'yes' and this did nothing. I have this on a NT box with latest
Dev2 patches applied.
1. Is the reports parameter form supposed to work in web-forms
mode?
2. How do you set it up to work, if it is supposed to work?
Thanks for any replies.

I guess you have to use web.show_document - I found this article
on DevConnect:
Article-ID: <Note:68647.1>
Circulation: PUBLISHED (EXTERNAL)
Platform: GENERIC Generic issue
Subject: How to show Reports HTML PARAMFORM when
calling Reports
from Forms
Modified-Date: 09-AUG-1999 18:02:04
Document-Type: BULLETIN
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN
Impact: MEDIUM
Component: SQLREP
PURPOSE:
This bulletin explains how to overcome the current restriction
of calling an Oracle Report from Oracle Forms and showing a
PARAMETER FORM. This is currently not possible when using the
RUN_PRODUCT built-in with
WEB DEPLOYED APPLICATIONS.
DESCRIPTION:
When you call an Oracle Report from Oracle Forms using
RUN_PRODUCT in Client-server, you can specify an optional
parameter called PARAMFORM to display the parameter form defined
in the Oracle Report.
For web-deployed applications, the PARAMFORM parameter can be
set to HTML to produce a HTML version of the parameter form.
When calling Oracle Reports from an Oracle Form using
RUN_PRODUCT and specifying PARAMFORM=HTML in the parameter list,
the Oracle Reports parameter form doesn't show the in the client
browser. If the Oracle Reports Cartridge/CGI is used and
PARAMFORM=HTML is specified, then the Oracle Reports parameter
form does appear in the client browser.
Oracle Forms does not use either the Cartridge or the CGI with
RUN_PRODUCT, and it's these thin clients that produce the HTML
Oracle Reports parameter form.
As a workaround to this problem, you can use either the
Cartridge or the CGI with the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT Oracle Forms
builtin. This does require either the Oracle Reports Cartrige
or the CGI to be installed. Neither of these are necessary if
the parameter form isn't required.
INSTRUCTIONS:
The following items need to be installed:
1. Oracle Reports Multi-tier Server.
2. Oracle Reports Web Cartridge
or
Oracle Reports Web CGI.
Here is a typical URL that can be specified in a browser
to run a report using Oracle Reports Cartridge implementation:
http://your_webserver/r30ows?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+
destype=cache+desformat=html+userid=scott/tiger@mydb+paramform=ht
ml
For CGI implementation:
http://your_webserver/your_vir_cgi_dir/r30cgi32.exe?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+destype=cache+desformat=html
userid=scott/tiger@mydbparamform=html
The Oracle Reports parameter form now is shown. This can be
used with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT issuing the request to execute the
report to the Oracle Reports Multi-Tier Server instead of using
RUN_PRODUCT.
The following code may be added to a program unit, which then
issues the request to run the report:
IF get_application_property(user_interface) = 'WEB' then
/* Use Cartridge configuration with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT. */
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://your_webserver/r30ows?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+destype=cache+desformat=html
userid=scott/tiger@mydbparamform=html', '_self');
/* OR for CGI configuration. */
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
('http://your_webserver/your_vir_cgi_dir/r30cgi32.exe?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+destype=cache+desformat=html
userid=scott/tiger@mydbparamform=html', '_self');
ELSE
/* use RUN_PRODUCT for client-server with PARAMFORM=Yes. */
Add_Parameter(plid, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'YES');
RUN_PRODUCT
(REPORTS,'emp_30.rep',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,plid);
END;

How to display Reports parameter form in Oracle Forms 10g.

hello,
am migrating from Forms 6i applications to Forms 10g.
one of my application contain report, that report display parameter form
I wrote below code for WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger
DECLARE
pl_id      ParamList;
v_report_id report_object;
v_report varchar2(100);
vjob_id varchar2(100);
vc_rep_status varchar2(100);
BEGIN
pl_id := create_parameter_list('my_list');
add_parameter (pl_id,'P_HOSPITAL_ID',text_PARAMETER,
:bm_hospitals.hospital_id);
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',text_PARAMETER,'NO');
v_report_id := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('bm_r001');
v_report := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT ( v_report_id,pl_id );
vjob_id := substr ( v_report, length(<reportservername>)+2,
length( v_report) );
vc_rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS (v_report);
IF vc_rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
     WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| vjob_id||
'?server=rep_mohahubkpcomp_ORaHOme_IAS'||'&userid=
bedman/bedman@bedman'||'&paramform=yes','_blank');
ELSE
     message ('Report failed with error message '||vc_rep_status);
END IF;
Destroy_Parameter_List(pl_id);
END;
The Above code is running report and displaying Output perfect but cannot
display the Parameter Form at runtime.
any help in this very thankful.
Regards
Gagan.

In Your code there is a line:
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',text_PARAMETER,'NO');
which actually disables the report parameter form.
The line:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| vjob_id||
'?server=rep_mohahubkpcomp_ORaHOme_IAS'||'&userid=
bedman/bedman@bedman'||'&paramform=yes','_blank');
displays the report to which vjob_id refers. At this point the report is competed so the parameters userid and paramform are useless.
Hope this helps.

Urgent! Using Reports parameter forms with RUN_REPORT_OBJECT on 9iAS

Hi all, I am migrating client-server to 3-tier with 9iAS Rel2 on AIX 5.1. The forms and reports are upgraded from Forms4.5 to forms9i and Reprots 2.5. We used to have user defined parameter in parameter form(e.g. articale no.) to select records appearing in the report.
However, the Report parameter form doesn't work on web.
I have read Note : 139546.1 but I want the parameter entered in Report parameter form, not in the Form that call the report.
Does anyone has samples of Forms and Reports doing to achieve that? Thank you very much in advance.
best regards,
Kathy

Kathy,
please have a look at the Forms and reports integration Whitepaper that is available from otn.oracle.com/products/forms. This shows you a coding example of what needs to be done to make parameter forms work on teh Web. This papaer is available for Forms9i/Reports9i and Forms6i/Reports6i

Report parameter startdate has a defaultvalue or a valid value that depends on the report parameter startdate forward dependencies are not valid

Hi,
Am trying to develop a report the parameter has an issue, it gives me an error.
There are 2 parameter (1st is Date range like start and end date and 2nd is Loan number)
When ever I select date range the Loan number parameter should go blank. If I input a loan number then date range should go blank.
What should I do. Please help
ERROR --report parameter startdate has a defaultvalue or a valid value that depends on the report parameter startdate forward dependencies are not valid

Hi Kay_MD,
If there are only two parameters, we can use first parameter charge the second one, but the second one cannot charge the first one in turn. Because parameter forward dependencies are not valid. To achieve your requirement, we can create another parameter
to control Date_range and Loan_number parameters. For more details, please see:
Add a parameter named ReportParameter1 with two available values: Date_range and Loan_number.
Use the following expression as the default value in Date_range parameter:
=iif(Parameters!ReportParameter.Value="Date_range",1,"") (1 means a useless value)
Use the following expression as the default value in Loan_number parameter:
=iif(Parameters!ReportParameter.Value="Loan_number",1,"") (1 means a useless value)
Please note that the Date_range and Loan_number parameters should enable Allow blank value (“”), and the blank values should also be contained in available values.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

How the show parameter form for the report over the web by using an url ?

hello,
my url to call my report is :
http://server/reports/rwservlet?report=rtm0350.rep&desformat=html&userid=un/pw@hostring&server=rep_server&paramform=yes
but it doesn't show me the parameter form to introduce the parameters and I get :
'FINISH SUCCESSFULLY'
has anybnody any idea ?
thank's

If this is a 'paper' report then =yes has always worked for me as long you have parameters declared in the report.
Description Use PARAMFORM to specify whether to display the Runtime Parameter
Form when you execute a report through CGI or a servlet. PARAMFORM is used only to
supply parameters to paper layout reports, not JSP-based Web reports.
Syntax PARAMFORM=YES|NO|HTML
Values
■ YES Display the Parameter Form.
■ NO Do not display the Parameter Form.
■ HTML Display the Parameter Form in HTML format.

Filtering List of Values in Parameter form

1. I am calling reports from (web based) forms 6i and passing a parameter. Based on the parameter, i want to restrict the list of values in the parameter form of the report.
2. I have two items in parameter form. Based on value entered in item 1, i want to filter values in item 2 (depending List of values).
Is it possible to do the above?

I don't think so.
We had to create a form with poplists to do the limitation of the second based on the first. By doing that we essentially bypassed the default parameter form and just passed the exact parameters we wanted.

Resetting parameters in the Report Launch Form (qms0012f)

We ran into the problem today that the parameters in the Report Launch Form cannot be reset if they have no default value defined against them. In our situation this proved to be quite confusing and annoying for our end users, so we investigated the logic in the Headstart code and created a very simple solution: we added one character to the code in the qms0012l library. (package qms$param, procedure check_par_value.
For the long story, see http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=925

Gerard,
"when using the LOV query (through Headstart Foundation Application) the user is forced to use the LOV
and is not able to fill in the parameter field (field protected against update). "
This behavior is intentional. The reason for this is that with Hsd6i, we added a display value that is different from
the actual value of the parameters. However, in order not to break applications developed with older releases
of Headstart, the LOV still lists the actual value is still listed first in the lov query. Since the first field in the LOV
is not the field displayed on the screen, you cannot set Validate in LOV to true. So, the only option is to force
users to use the LOV to enter data. If you do not have compatibility issues with older applications, you can
set Validate in LOV to true and change all your LOV queries to put Description first and then value.
"If I use the LOV, Value or Description width fields they generate an On Off behaviour. The values you
specify are not important. When specified the LOV becomes screen wide, disregarding the specified
widths. When cleared the LOV returns to it's initial behaviour. "
I suspect this might be a new forms bug. I've logged a Headstart bug, just in case we can find a workaround.
"The manual describes the use of GLOBAL variables for Default Value and Description.
So far :
the code for the default value will never work
name_in(l_default_value)
should be
name_in(substr(l_default_value,2))
in order to remove the colon.
The code for the Default Description is totally absent."
I have also logged a Headstart bug for this. We will need to investigate it. Certainly, the mechanism is working
correctly, so I'm not sure what is going on here.

Image not appearing in the Web Parameter Form

Hello Folks,
I have image in the Parameter form, which is not showing up in the Web Parameter Form. I had set up the "REPORTS_PATH" also and still not appearing.
Any clue greatly appreciated..
Thanks,
Senthil

I ran into this problem as well, and there is a work around if you do not want to apply the patch. Put the image in your <oracle_home>/apache/apache/htdocs directory. Then in your report in the parameter section, create a text box. Put this in the text box:
<img src="http://<your_servername>.<your_domain>:<your_port>/<your_gif>">
Go into the parameters of the text box you just created(hit F4) and choose YES for Contains HTML. Then when you run the paramter form on your web server the image will be displayed.

Heading Change in "Report Parameter Form"

Hi,
Is there any way to change Headings and presentation on "Report Parameter Form" in 11g,
as shown in
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KYY-OV98iIo/TCnw5J8TEaI/AAAAAAAAAHo/9DnTJTs8now/s1600/here03.bmp
is displaying headings like
"Report Parameters" and "Enter Values for Parameters, Enter Start: , Enter End:"
Can they be user given
Farrukh

The parameter form is inside the report and the layout of it can be altered.
The only exception to if there is an automatic parameter form....but that is not the case in the example
that you have shown.

Internal parameter - The report parameter is read-only and cannot be modified.

Hello,
We have an SSRS report that has an Internal parameter for the user that is logged in (gets the Report.User!UserID in custom code and assigns to parameter called Login). We would like it to remain internal as it is for security purposes - we filter
data depending on whether or not the user has access. We would not like it to be accessible from the URL. The report has drill-through functionality where the user can click a link and the report is filtered on certain criteria. This seems
to work fine in SSRS 2005, but since i have upgraded the report to SSRS 2012, I am getting the error on the drill-through:
The report parameter 'Login' is read-only and cannot be modified. (rsReadOnlyReportParameter)
The properties in Report Manager have the "Hide" option selected. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Hhewson,
In Reporting Services, if you create a hidden parameter, you can set values for it on a report URL or in a subscription definition. If you set a parameter to Internal, it is not exposed in any way except in the report definition. An internal parameter must
have a default value, which can be null if the Allow null value option has been selected. Internal Parameters are not configurable by the end-user at run-time.
In your scenario, I suggest you changing internal parameter to hidden parameter to check whether the issue persists.
Reference:
In SSRS, how does an “Internal” parameter differ from a “hidden” parameter?
Hope this helps.
