Language of a Webi Report called from OpenDocument

Hi all,
We're trying to set a fixed language when calling Webi Reports from Opendocument.
Right now it's using the language of the user's preffered viewwing setting under Infoview properties.
Does anyone know how to change opendocument.jsp in order to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Alden,
Refer to page (66/82) of
[Viewing Reports and Documents using URLs|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/xi3-1_url_reporting_opendocument_en.pdf] guide.
One of the opendoc parameters you pass should be "sInstance" and your URL should look something like
http //<servername>:<port>/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?<parameter1>&<parameter2>&...&sInstance=(either Last/User/Param)
Thanks,
Subhodeep

Web Services call from SOA to BI Publisher

Hi,
I have never worked on this web service call from SOA to BI Publisher funcationality and I am strugulling to understand on how this woks.
My requirement is that SOA will call BI Publisher on a parameter basis eg( some id) to a report and BI publisher should pick that id and execute the report and place the PDF file (file name is combination of id and date) into specific location in the FTP server and in return BI Publisher should send the response to SOA defining the file name and location of the FTP server.
Can anyone please help on this. This is a big sore on my head.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your replies.
Actually I am working on Forms 6i version , so does same solution works on Forms 6i as well.
Also this application is for address search, so user provides for some key like PostCode etc and then call the Webservice and it will give you list of options.
Now user will choose and confirm one address.
Do all this interaction possible using UTL_HTTP?
After going through link provided , I need to implemented in following steps:-
1) Using JDeveloper 10.1.3.1.0 Create a SOAP_REQUEST.
2)Create a wrapper program who calls Web Service.
3) Call this Wrapper Program from our form and PL/SQL Package.
Please let me know if this sounds OK.
Thanks a Ton,

4.5 to 6i migration or report calling from forms in XE???

Hi Friends,
I really appreciate your helping tendency. Let me explain the whole scenario.
My application basically consists of
Forms [32 Bit] Version 5.0.6.8.0 (Production)
Report Builder 3.0.5.8.0
Oracle Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
Now we migrated our database into Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production. After the migration all the existing forms and report individually were running without any problem. But there was a huge problem. Whenever I tried to call any report from any form the report engine appeared and then stopped responding. So report calling from forms was not possible after the database migration. I was suggested by someone from OTN forum to migrate my forms and reports into 6i. I have started doing the migration using ifcmp60. WIth forms 6i, reports can be called from forms. But I am facing problem in every other steps. There are many things are not working after the migration though the migration log shows no error. For example, COMMIT_FORM, EXECUTE_QUERY (for detail table), LOV, TOOL.GETVAR lots of things are not working.
My application has 200 forms and 250 reports.
Please help and advise on:
How to call reports from form when the database is XE Or
How to overcome the stated migration problem
Rgds,
Luther

Dear Mark:
I have two choices. I can either migrate to 6i or I can go with the existing 4.5. If I go with 4.5 ......the reports are not being called from forms. This problem is happening after I changed the database from 9i to XE. Please advise what to do so that I can keep my forms in 4.5, database in XE and can call reports from forms.

Luther

Configuring SSL to make a HTTPS web Service call from XI

Hi All,
We are making a https web service call using soap adapter from XI. Looking at the various posts and SAP help links, we are configuring SSL for the same.
The procedure given in SAP help has been followed to configure SSL but with no luck. If someone had done this could you please give a step by step procedure to configure SSL, we might have missed out on something.
Also are there are any other settings apart from SSL to be done to make a https web service call using soap adapter from XI.
Cheers,
Chandra

I have an old pl/sql "helper" package, originally written to make SOAP Web Service calls from the database - it uses UTL_HTTP to invoke the target services.
I now need to make SOAP Web Service calls - from an 8.1.7.4 database
But the version of UTL_HTTP inside 8.1.7.4 does not contain the functions needed in the helper package
Can anybody suggest a means of making SOAP Web Service calls from an 8.1.7.4 database ?I think you'll be very lucky to find anyone here who still has access to a version of Oracle that is that old.... I mean... that's like what? 15 years old at least? I'm surprised you've still got hardware that can run that.
It would probably help if you could post what code you've got and explain which function(s) it's complaining about, as I doubt people will want to guess.

Making Web Service calls from a Form in the WorkSpace

I am getting conflicting information about this, so I hope someone here could clarify it. TIA.
This is what I want to do:
after a form is displayed/launched in the WorkSpace,
when the user Tabs out of a field (Exit event) on the form,
I want to make a Web Service call from the form,
get the result from the WebService,
and use the Result to populate another field on the form.
I know for certain that this works if I Reader-Extend the form,
and I set the JavaScript at the Exit event (to execute WebService call)
as "Run At Client".
The question is:
can I make the WebService calls without Reader-Extending the form???
I have been told that, yes you can,
but *only if* you let the JavaScript "Run At Server".
I tried that, but it caused the Reader to crash.
Some other people told me,
no you can not,
even if you "Run At Server", the form still needs to be Reader-Extended,
when using it in the WorkSpace environment.
So, what is the truth? can someon tell me?
Can I make WebServers calls from the Server-side at all?
Do I really need to Reader-Extend the form even if calling it from server side?
What exactly is it SUPPOSED to work?
thanks

yes, thank you both. I got the fix from Adobe Tech Support last week. It's working.
The fix I got included a rather complex looking "Submit Service" though. Makes me wonder how a regular user would know that he needs to write such a Submit Service?? and even if he knows that he needs a special Submit Service, would he know how to write it??? I found no documentation for this type of things either.
Shouldn't this solution be published somewhere in Adobe's website? Dev Lab perhaps?

Special Character XML Web Service call from Flex

Hi,
Let me first give a little background.
I have to query and return data in XML format. To do so, I have created a custom DSC component. In cases where XML has special characters, LC throws error saying that XML is not properly formed. To over come this issue I used CDATA tag at DSC component. Now LC works as it should and I returns correct result.
I have a web service call from Flex to get this XML result. Every time i trigger this web service I get an error message saying </document> tag is missing.
I understand in Flex, web service returned data is wrapped in CDATA tag, thats what i causing all this issue.
I am not sure, how to handle this situation, I am sure this is a common problem and there should be ways to work around it.
I would really appreciate if any one could point me in the right direction.
Thank you ..

The web service has four operations in it, I need pingQuery operation execution code since it doesnot need any input value.
I have used code something like this.. Any one please correct me if I am wrong..
<mx:WebService
<mx:WebService> id="webService" wsdl=""https://hydrogen.csd.sc.edu/axis2/services/AcademicHistoryService?wsdl
>
<mx:operation name="pingQuery"resultFormat="

fault="faultHandler(event);"

<PingQuerySpecification>
<value>

Web service call from a ReadWriteBackingMap

We are thinking of making a web service call from a ReadWriteBackingMap
<cachestore-scheme>
<class-scheme>
<class-name>
We will extend ReadWriteBackingMap class and override load() method to make a call to a web service.
This cache will be read only data and will hold relatively static data like list of c
ountries.
We expect to use Spring framework/JDK 1.5/WS security to make this web service call. We hope to
have the jar/config files available in server classpath when we start coherence servers.
1. Do you see any issues with this approach?
2. Any best practices?
3. Server resources(memory etc) will be shared between the server java process and this call to
web services, getting the xml, parsing the data etc. Any issues with that?

Hi,
I would recommend implementing the web-service callout logic in a custom cachestore/cacheloader (see the CacheLoader.load() method) and configure your rwbm with your cachestore implementation.
While subclassing RWBM and overriding functionality can be done, the CacheLoader interface is the intended method designed to accomplish this kind of task. RWBM internal implementations may perform other internal bookkeeping and may vary over time.

Architecture/design for high volume web service calls from on Demand

Hi,
We have hundreds of end users (less than 600 users) that will be initiating web service calls from On Demand that will deal with both querying (stateful transaction) and inserting/updating data (stateless). Currently, we see a limitation on the number of stateless sessions (33) that can initiate web service calls. We are afraid this will lead to poor performance with the number of sessions that are allocated for stateless sessions.
Can someone provide any design or framework information that can be implemented for high volume web service calls from On Demand? We anticipate 35K+ web service calls that will be initiated from On Demand per hour.
Thanks.

How to track report called from a from

We have a Form that calls a report using the show_document command. Is there a way to track when the report is called inside the form? Thanks.

Hi,
you can install the Reports queuetableto list all Reports requests and its current status. The only problem you face is that using Web.Show_Document() you don't have a jobid to locate the job. So using Web.Show_Document() its hard to achieve what you are planning to do.
If using Run_Report_Object() instead you can read the Reports status from Forms so that you know what the current status is. In addition you retrieve a jobid that allows you to query the queuetable. A Whitepaper is available at otn.oracle.com/products/forms

Web Service call from VB Macros & web service for logging in

Hi All,
Is it possible to call a SAP web services from a Visual Basic macro?
1) If yes, how to do so?
2) Is there a standard web service through which we can login to an R/3 system?
3) Once we are logged in can we call other web services?
Thanks in advance!!
Regards,
Saurabh

Hi Saurabh,
ad 1) It is possible. In this Excel to SAP R/3 I posted some examples on how to call webservices from within Office 2003 applications.
The posts are very detailed, I just didn't create a blog since feedback to scripting languages blogs is so low that I didn't find it worth to carefully author a blog.
ad 2) Web service calls are stateless so you have to authenticate each time you call a service. Either by single sign on mechanisms or by simply hardcoding the credentials.
hope it helps,
anton

11g reports calling from forms issue

Hi,
I am have installed the Oracle fusionware 11.1.4 version in windows XP ser2.
I have configured the forms,reports server components and developer components.
Forms are working fine. However i am getting the error while calling reports from the Forms.
I am trying to convert the 6i forms and reports.
The report calling code run_product is not worked, so i am changed the code to web.show_document.
While running the form to call the report am getting the following error.
REP-51019: System user authentication is missing.
REP-50171: Authentication failed.
Code is written in the form as shown below....
v_show_document :='http://localhost:9002/reports/rwservlet?report='||:parameter.p_report_id||'.rep'||'&desformat=PDF&

web.show_document(v_show_document,'_blank');

Check if you have SSO enabled:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_11/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_sso.htm#i1008966
(this is the link for 10g but it may be the same for 11g. Look for the 11g link if this doesn't work for you).
The report calling code run_product is not workedThat only works for Forms 6i. You should use run_report_object.

Report call from forms and 1017

Hi,
we have a web application and and it's first screen is the login screen where user can change their password or when grace time comes we force the user to change their password etc. Password changes successfully, no issue and user goes inside the application. But here is the problem. When user clicks the report after chagning the password then report doesn't work, can't connect to database and audit trail shows 1017 so obviously when they click 3 times their account gets locked because in profile it's set to 3 failed attempts. When user close the application and re login again and then click the report, it works fine. I'm suspecting the new changed password doesn't pass to the report? i would really appreciate for your help, suggestions, advise. how do i make sure that the new changed password should be passed to the report?. We're running against 11g database and sec_case_sensitive_logon is set to false.
Thanks

How would I display paper report, called from forms?

I want to call reports 9i, from forms 9i, and display the paper report on the screen. How would I do this? So far I have gotten forms to call the report and give me a status back of FINISHED, but I don't see anything displayed on my screen.
Thank you.

Hi,
you use the Forms Web.Show_Document() built-in for this. Please read http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/frm9isrw9i.pdf

Report call from FORMS

Hi
Can we apply both below methods to call paper layout or web lay out
1. WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT()
2. RUN_REPORT_OBJECT()
Or else web lay out reports call only from one of them?
Rgds

Hello,
For Paper Layout , you can use both Forms Builtins :
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT()
RUN_REPORT_OBJECT()
For Web Layout , only WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() can be used .
