Issue while generating report using web.show_document with https

Hi All,
I am facing some issue while seeing the report using web.show_document as shown below:
https://ucrmskr.apac.nsroot.net:10301/forms/html/001725032_gca.rtf_
In this case the report opens directly without asking for me to save or open or cancel option
whereas if I hit
http://scrmskr.apac.nsroot.net:7801/forms/html/001725032_gca.rtf_
it asks for save or open or cancel option
so that I can save the report to my machine and open in wordpad format
The report generated in the first case is not coming in proper format
Below are my forms.conf mappings:
# Name
# forms.conf - Forms component Apache directives configuration file.
# Purpose
# It should include the weblogic managed server (routing) directives for
# the servers where Forms applications are deployed and other miscellaneous
# Forms component OHS directives.
# Remarks
# This file is included with the OHS configuration under
# $OI/config/OHS/<OHS Node Name>/moduleconf sub-directory.
# virtual mapping for the /forms/html mapping.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/forms/html/(..*) /workaroundhtml/$1 [PT]

Please let me know what needs to be done additionally if we are trying to hit https because in the second case we were hitting http with similar mapping in diff environment and it was generating report successfully.

and the same problem occured
the file is located on my local C drive in:

I'm not referring to Servlet threading issues.
I'll clarify.
You have two threads, both entering ReportClientDocument.open(...) method.
Thread 4 is waiting to acquire 'com.crystaldecisions.reports.queryengine.av@15214b9'
Thread 0 is waiting to acquire ''com.crystaldecisions.reports.queryengine.av@12e0415'
So I'm thinking ??? are they the same objects?
My specific question concerning the ReportClientDocument is that both are calling open - i.e., trying to open a new report. You wouldn't be trying to open different reports using the same ReportClientDocument - so was wondering if you've cached the RCD and trying to open two different reports at the same time on the same instance via different threads.
You'd normally tie a ReportClientDocument instance to a HTTP Session, to ensure each user gets their own copy.

Browser Time out in Reports (using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to call reports)

When running a big report which takes a long time to run, it finishes on the report server but in the browser the screen is stuck at the parameter form, you don't see the report output. It's as if the browser has timedout. Is there a solution to this?
I am running reports using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT only - through a URL. This seems to be a huge drawback of using this method.

Is the browser launching?
If it is have you tried a show source on the browser window?
Sometimes if you open an XML file in a browser you get a blank page but the XML is there. Something to do with the XML format I think. I'm no expert on XML just a behaviour I have observed.

Error opening report using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT

Hi
I have a report in pdf format that opens ok by itself. When I use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT in the when_mouse_click trigger on the item in the form the report doesnt display. Only an IE window with "The page cannot be displayed" message.
Here is the trigger code:
Web.show_document(http://nbotlaguduru.dms.local/export/||FMSLaborChargesalcs20060829132645.pdf)
where FMSLaborChargesalcs20060829132645.pdf is the name of the report I am trying to open.
Here is the URL that appears in the second window that opens:
http://nbotlaguduru.dms.local/export/FMSLaborChargesalcs20060829132645.pdf
this url generates the error message "The page cannot be displayed"
I am using Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 - Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Data Mining options
Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2
ORACLE Server Release 10.1.0.4.2
and I running the forms and reports server on my local machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Can I use web.show_document with forms name parameter ?

Hi All,
I need to pass URL to web.show_document but with form name too. Is it possible?
I'd like to do something like web.show_document('url?report=myReport','_blank')
Thanks in advance

Yes, you can use any valid URL within web.show_document

Issue while generating Report

I am trying to generate a rport and it is going in Generation running mode.
I checked CG5Z and the line item created there is not getting assigned to the Server defined.
I tested the RFC and generation server they are properly defined.
I ran program RC1WWIWP as a job and got the following meassage :
No valid generation server defined; WWI work process is terminated
In customizing o have define 2 servers and tested there RFC connection as well
Can somebody suggest what can be the issue.
Anoop

Hello Anoop
as explained in some different thread: There is the dispatcher running as a job etc.
This dispatcher checks the amount of reports to be generated by the WWI workprocesses (raw reports, final reports etc.) and then pass on the request to that WWI destination which is "free". Then the WWI workprocess takes over the work and should run through (if the WWI does not crash on WWI server or the RFC connection is lost etc.)
But there is the option to do something in Customizing to use some function module etc. so that you "force" the dispatcher to use only WWI GEnserver 1 and not 2 based on some "parameters" which can be analzed. I am not sure if you have done that.
So I am sorry: i need more details regarding your topic.
With best regards
C.B.

Error while generating report using BI 2013

Hi
When i am trying to generate a report from the application, On CMC i get this error "Destination disabled. [CrystalEnterprise.DiskUnmanaged]: []. Please note the name of the job server used for your request and contact your system administrator to make sure the specified destination is enabled. (FWB 00031)". Please help.

This specifically means that the destinations have not been configured in the Crystal Job Server. If you're running 4.x, this may be part of the "Adaptive Job Server" instead of or in addition to a Crystal Job Server. If you're using 3.1 or earlier, you'll also have to set up the destination in the Destination Job Server.
You'll have to log in to the CMC, go to Servers, right-click on the correct job server and go to "Destinations". You'll then add something like "File" or "Unmanaged Disk" to the available destinations and save. Stop the job server, start it again, and your error should go away.
Please be aware that unless you're using specific credentials to schedule the report or you're saving to the server where BO is installed, you'll need to make sure that the BO services are running under a network "Services" account that has access to the folder you're scheduling the report to. By default during installation it's set to run under the "Local Services" account that doesn't have access to the network.

Issues while generating the output(using VF02- header- output)

Hi Group,
I have issues while generating output using the tcode VF02.
the issue is that, I have got an output type which is configured for the medium "Special Function" and the o/p program generates PDF depending on certain criteria.
now, when I try to "repeat output" option to generate output again, I was getting errors. it works sometimes by choosing the option "Successfully processed" then selecting the record and then saving it. if I do the same thing again, the output make be running into error or success, it is varying everytime.
I am not able to understand why the process is not working correctly, when doing the "Repeat output" option on the "Successfully processed" record, the system is giving error instead of a Successful message. it is succeeding once and sometimes not.
Kindly let me know your inputs if you have encountered same kind of issue.
Regards,
Vishnu.

hi Group,
when I checked the configuration part of the o/p type I am currently processing, I could see that, in customizing part of this o/p type, there was a checkbox for Multiple Issuing - which is not checked.
when it is not checked, it should not be possible to run the o/ps for multiple times, but when I tried to generate o/ps again and again, in a few attempts I could to generate the PDFs and in some cases not. I don't know why there is no relevance for this check box Multiple Issuing.
Could you please let me know why this issuing of o/p is working in some occassions and not working work sometimes, which is having the configuration of checkbox Multiple Issuing - not being checked.
thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Vishnu.

Report Status using web.show_document

Hi all.
I am using the web.show_document for running my report - using distribution xml file and mail.
I want to insert a record in a table if the report generation succeeds.
From Oracle Documentation I can see that I cannot get the report status in the form when it is run using web.show_document.
And for distribution I cannot use run_report_object.
Any workaround for this?
Thanks in advance
Anu.

Issue using web-service with forms9i

using web-service with forms9i
Hi
I have a setup of oracle9ias release 2 on solaris machine. I have made a web-service which is deployed on nt machine on weblogic server. I have made a call from my form (forms9i) to this web-service. When i try to use that web-service after deploying my form on solaris, it initializes the web-service and performs the action successfully. Now the problem is that my form also makes a call to report server to generate a report. The problem is when i initialize the web-service and uses its function it works but after that making a call to report server will fail. Also if i make a call to report server first, it generates the report and then i make call to the web-service, then that web-service fails to run. And in both cases, the forms application stops saying session has aborted.
Why cant i make call to both the things in one session of application? What could be the reason for that? Need help urgently.

Sorry,
I didn't know that this was necessary to find a solution.
Here are the definition out of the WSDL File:

Problem when using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT and passing in lexical parameter

Hi,
I got a blank page with error "An error has occured while trying to use this document" when I tried to use web.show_document and passing a lexical parameter to 10g report on 10gAS. The URL in the web.show_document is:
http://<srvname>:<portnum>/reports/rwservlet?server=repserver90&report=myrpt.rdf&destype=Cache&desformat=pdf&userid=<usr>/<pw>@<db>&where_clause=where%20product_type%20in%20('REPORT')
If I change the desformat to htmlcss, it is fine to display the report. But doesn't work with desformat=pdf. The pdf file has been generated in the cache. Why can't it display on the screen.
Also I tried to use double quote the value for where_clause. The pdf report showed up. But it ignored the where clause.
Experts please help.
Ying

I use lexical parameters and they work fine, but I use a parameter list. The code is contained in a form that is called by all forms that wish to run a report. This way you only need the logic for printing in a single form. If you want the form, email me at [email protected]

FREC Error while Generating Reports in Quality Center

Hi,
We usually generate reports using Dashboard module of Quality Center . While generating reports on a particular PC, we are getting the following error.
The SQL Query <sheet1> has failed to run, with the following error:
Returned Result is not valid FREC.
We are able to generate the same report on a different PC.
Does anyone encounter this issue earlier? Could someone help us out in solving this issue.

Issue popped up with me a few times and seemingly uncontrolled.
I resolved one query with replacing quotes in the string i.e. replace single with double by replace([field],chr(39),chr(34))

WEB.show_document with MAILTO in IE8 - Navigation Cancelled message

When generating an email from within Oracle Forms 10g using:
WEB.show_document('mailto:'||'[email protected]'||'?subject='||'test msg'||'&body= 'test body','_SELF');
An IE8 window pops up with a message saying 'Navigation to the webpage was cancelled'.
The test email does appear separately, but if the email is generated a second time, the email will not be generated unless the window saying 'Navigation to the webpage was cancelled' was manually closed before the second email generation.
If we try the same test in our IE7 browser, the email pops up without an IE window coming up in the background (as expected).
We have tried changing the last parameter to _BLANK and also excluding it altogether, neither option works properly in IE8.
What code can I use to generate an email within IE8 & IE7 without the extra browser window appearing in the background?

Ok - so I've had a TAR logged with Oracle since before asking my colleague to post the same query on here.
As of a couple of days ago Oracle were able to reproduce the same issues using a simple test case. Yesterday they came back with the first part of a fix and updated "Note 1075355.1 - How To Use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT To Open Multiple Pages In The Same Browser" accordingly.
Basically if you are running IE8 on Windows XP and want to use the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT with mailto to launch an e-mail you need to specify a named window instead of the regular parameters which are: self, parent, top, blank
So you would need to use something as below where the word CUSTOM can be anything.
WEB.show_document('mailto:'||'[email protected]'||'?subject='||'test msg'||'&body=' ||'test body','CUSTOM');
However this does not appear to fix the issue for IE8 when running on Windows 7.
Below are other security settings that were recomended and we tried (but I don't think they had any effect):
1. In IE 8 go to menu Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Sites ->
- Add this website to the zone :
mailto
- Uncheck "Require server verifcation (https:) for all sites in this zone."
- Click Add
