Invoking reports from menu in designer 10.1.2

Hello,
i'am working on a 6 to 10g migration and have some problems whith the menu that invoke reports.
It seems that my predecessor has use the migration utility to migrate the menu.
So that the call to run_product where change to rp2rro_run_product.
But when i try to generate it with designer the call is CGNV$INVOKE_REPORT
1) Is there a possibility to change some generating preferences to have the rp2rro_run_product call instead of CGNV$INVOKE_REPORT?
2) When i compile the generated menu in windows the CGNV$INVOKE_REPORT compiles fine but when i move it to the linux server et try to recompile it failed saying that CGNV$INVOKE_REPORT must be declared ?
I check that the OFGNAVL and the OFGMNL pll are attached and in the path for compilation
Can someone help me please ?
Regards
Jean-Yves

Thanks for your response and sorry for late feedback.
I tried to set MNUDRC but was unsuccessful.
It seems that the MNUDRC preference doesn't work in 10g refering to the documentation.
Default:     RUN_PRODUCT (REPORTS, '<MODULE>',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,'','');
Values:     Up to 240 characters
Levels:     Container, Module
Category:     Menu - Gen Options
In Oracle Designer 6i only, use this preference to specify the command to run a report from a generated menu item if the repository module's Command Line property is not set or if the MNUUCL preference is set to No.
For more information about using this preference, refer to Setting a menu item's Menu Item Code property.
In Oracle9i Designer, this preference is not used. For the alternative preferences to use, see Report invocation preferences.
Related preferences
MNUUCL
I also tried the 'Command line' property of the report with not more success.
For the moment, I can't generate the menu with appropriate rp2rro command line for the reports. Is there a way to achieve this?

Calling Report from Menu (Oracle Forms 10g)

We have the applications in Forms6i & Reports 6i (Client Server) and migrating to Forms 10g and Reports 10g. We have the menu, from that menu we are calling all the forms and Reports. For especially Reports earlier we user RUN_PRODUCT but now 10g it is not working. How can call the report using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT
Important things we have some dynamic parameters (input) to the each report. That means when i called the report from the menu i need to get first parameter form to take the parameters and then can be run the report.

Here is the code to call report from menu in 10g
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep varchar2(100);
v_server VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(100);
v_host VARCHAR2(100);

     select rep_server into v_server from reports_data;
     select machine into v_host from reports_data;
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
     IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
     Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );

Call oracle reports from MENU in oracle ebs

is it possible in oracle ERP EBS R12
how to call oracle reports from menu [any screen] in oracle ebs erp r12??
please help

you may do a few things from menus and by adding buttons, but this is not really standard.
You may add button on the form or web page that after a certain action or event. You'll have to do personalization / extension and everything is present in oracle for normal report submission.
Why this is not done thru normal submission ?

How do I launch report from menu using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT?

Hi all,
Re: How do I launch report from menu (and have it print to the screen) using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT?
I am using Oracle 9iAS on Windows 2000 and I have a similar problem with launching reports from the menu. The application should call the report via the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT builtin feature from Forms. The report is never displayed.
The report is in the same folder as the menu form calling it. Do the reports have to be in a specific format? How do I get the report_id?
The name of the report is seconds_calls. No user-specified parameters are passed. Also, the report object in the object navigator in Forms is Report4 (is this relevant?)
When I try to run report via the form using this code:
DECLARE
     report_id REPORT_OBJECT;
     rep_status VARCHAR2(200);
     v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
     report_job_id VARCHAR2(200);
--     job_number NUMBER;
--     server_name VARCHAR2(200) := 'repserver';
BEGIN
     report_id:= FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('seconds_calls');
     rep_status:=REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(report_job_id);
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
END;
I get this error message:
FRM-41219 Cannot find report:Invalid ID
And this message
FRM-40738 Argument 1 to builtin RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be null
When I tried to use the same code (above), substituting the object name for the form name,
I got these messages:
FRM-41219 Cannot find report:Invalid ID
FRM-40738 Argument 1 to builtin RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be null
And FRM-10259 Invalid null argument to packaged procedure or function (???)
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Pippa

Philippy,
substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)
This code extracts the Reports job id from the Reports Server name. The run_report_object() built-in
retrieves e.g. RepServ_9 as a job id, but in Reports9i you only need the '9' as a value to retrieve the
output.
Use the following sample a template. It is a procedure that expects the reports object name, teh reports server name and the
output format as an argument. The call to Web.show_document expects the ReportsSrevices to be accessible from teh same server
(relative addressing is used)
PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC (vc_reportobj Varchar2, vc_reportserver varchar2, vc_runformat varchar2) IS
v_report_id           Report_Object;
vc_ReportServerJob      VARCHAR2(100); /* unique id for each Report request */
vc_rep_status      VARCHAR2(100); /* status of the Report job */
vjob_id               VARCHAR2(100); /* job_id as number only string*

If you are not passing any parameters, you don't need to pass the parameter string. Replace the pl_id with "null" or use the 2 double quotes to represent the null eg. "" and see if you still get the same error

Calling Report from Menu (Oracle Forms 11g)

I'm trying to call a report from a menu item in a menu (that is attached to a form) in Oracle Forms 11g directly and I'm having some difficulty. I know how to call a report from a form and everything works perfectly.
But since in a menu there is no item called "Report" to attach like there is in Forms, I followed on route which is to attach the "rp2rro" PL/SQL library on the menu file (mmb) and I also even did it on the form itself. Then when you convert a menu using the Forms Migration Assistant, it will comment out statements like "ADD_PARAMETER" and replace with calls to packaged procedures/functions from the package "rp2rro". I set all the parameters
RP2RRO.SETOTHERS('PARAMFORM=YES');
RP2RRO.SETDESTYPE('CACHE');
RP2RRO.SETDESFORMAT('PDF');
RP2RRO.SETCOMMUNICATIONMODE(SYNCHRONOUS);
then made the call to the report:
RP2RRO.RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'MYREPORT', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, param_list_id, NULL);
but all i get is the error "FRM-41219: Cannot find report: invalid ID."
The Oracle documentation for integration reports in forms is for when you execute the report within a form not a menu item (that is attached to a form). Any clues?
My environment is:
Oracle (Database, Fusion Middleware) 11g - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Web Browser - Internet Explorer 7 on Windows XP Professional
Thanks,

Hello,
One option is to use the Web.Show_Document() built-in, with the complete Report Server URL inside. Of course, you can hide some information (connection string for instance) by calling a section of the /reports/conf/cgicmd.dat configuration file.

'&paramform=yes';
v_rep_url := c_relative_path || c_rep_srv_name || v_rep_srv_params;
web.show_document(v_rep_url, '_blank');
END;
and I get a new tab in the browser opening up (which is good at least) with the Oracle Reports Services page saying:
Error
No such Web command ().
Now I've tried putting a URL of a Oracle's website (http://www.oracle.com) and that works perfectly. Another question is, where would the default directory be if I wanted to say call an HTML file? Would it be in the directory of FORMS_PATH where all my fmb, fmx, rdf, pll, etc...files are stored?

Invoke Report From Database trigger

Hi,
Is it possible to invoke a report from a database trigger?
The requirement is to start a report after a record was inserted in a table.
Thank you,
Alex.

Hi
I was looking for exactly the same thing. I need to invoke a report in response to an update in the database. To make things even more complicated, I want to send the report to an email add. Is that something anyone has already taken a look at? Any help appreciated.

Invoking procedure from menu module

How can I invoke procedure that is part of Form module from menu module which is attached to it.
When I reference it with:

null

It can be done by calling user-named trigger from menu:
Execute_Trigger('my_user_named_trigger');
and in Forms my_user_named_trigger is:

9i - calling reports from menu

Hi,
Could somebody tell me if it's possible to call a report using the run_report_object facility from a menu. There isn't the reports node that there is on a form to define the report.
Many thanks,
Sean Dwyer

can you run the report ok from a button on a test form?
if so it should be just a matter of copying your code from the button into the menu item and copying the report object into the form that references the menu
