Launching a new form using web.show_document

Using 9iAS 9.0.2.1.1. and Forms9i I'm trying to get a form to launch a new browser window and open a new form in it. At present I'm using web.show_document to do this. However, I get an error message stating that 'Connection from new browser window is not supported'. From an earlier thread in this forum I found a possible solution which is to set the session.useCookies to false in the zone.properties, which I have done, but I'm still getting the same error. I've tried restarting the OC4J_BI_Forms OC4J and the HTTP server, but nothing makes any difference. Am I missing something?

If you are attempting to print a report from a when-button-pressed trigger from within a form, you do not have to explicitly specify the server (hostname) nor the port. You can just use what I've found referred to as a virtual path to the server as I have done here:
parm_string := '/reports/rwservlet?config=my_config&report=report_name'
     ||'&desformat=pdf&destype=cache'
     ||'&paramform=no&printjob=no'
     ||'&p_my_user_param1='||v_my_param1
     ||'&p_my_user_param2='||v_my_param2;
web.show_document(parm_string,'_blank');
You can specify a userid/password@connectstring within a named congifuration section of your formsweb.cfg file if necessary, e.g. my_config.
Hope this helps.

To which Forms directory to put a text file to show using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT

Need to show a text file using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT.
In which Forms sub-directory should the text file reside and what is the syntax for the command?
Is it like WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.949.99.19:8890/forms/abc.txt','_blank');

Hi, I did this
-- My OC4J URL when I run a form is this: http://192.168.11.103:8890/forms/frmservlet
-- I want to open abc.txt. I put abc.txt in dir E:\Ora_Dev_10g_R2\forms which is my Forms home
-- When I try WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.11.103:8890/forms/abc.txt','_blank') it gives
The page cannot be found

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.

Opening a separate form using Web.show_documen not working as intended

My intent is to open a form in a totally different session from another form.
I want to open FORM B from a trigger in FORM A and I want both to be active simultaneously.
To achieve that I thought to use web.show_document in completely new borwser window from a trigger in FORM A.
web.show_document (FORM_B_LINK,'_blank');
But both forms still share same JRE session (according to Metalink Tech support.)
Now what is happening is that FORM B opens(only if I use Synchronize after web.show_document call ) but FORM B is not active whenever FORM A is doing something. So they both are not active together.
Please help me here how can I open two separate forms session.
BTW, I can not use OPEN_FORM or CALL_FORM for various reasons
Thanks in advance for your help

Unless you have other reasons that contradict this, I
cannot see anything that you can do with two browser
windows that you cannot do with using
OPEN_FORM(SESSION). That in effect creates two
database sessions that are independent of each other
and you should be able to do what you want.Hi Jan,
Actually its not database session I'm worried about it is FORM session that is worrying me. Both FORM A and FORM B can not execute some code at the same time as they share same forms session (as far as I know).
Let me explain my situation again. We have a PLL which is attached to lots of forms.
This pll has functionality to perform some on-demand internal jobs like executing a report or exporting block data to execl or html etc). Depending upon the Job it may take some from few seconds to several minutes to finish the job.
What I have to do add is the ability to monitor progress of the job and give our users ability to stop that job.
And I think I can not achieve that using OPEN_FORM.

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.

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.

Reports 9i Printing from Forms with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT

I want to print a Report from Forms via WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT directly to the printer and it works fine.
But every time i print it from my web application a new browser-windows opens and shows a message "Printed successfully" or something like that. If I start the printjob again nothing happens - if I press the Browser-Refresh-Button in the new Browser-Windows with the Message ("Printed Successfully") it prints.
So now I have 2 questions:
a) How can I disable the "Printed successfully"-Message
b) What hava I to do that I not must press on the Refresh-Button to start the printing again
I hope I hava explained my problem clearly. 4
Here ist the complet WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT-Command I fire in Forms when a Button is pressed:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://mymachine:8888/reports/rwservlet?report=testreport.rdf&destype=printer&desname=\\NTS32\VZ_D3&desformat=html&userid='|| sUser ||'/'|| sPW ||'@'|| sDB,'_blank');
Many thanx for your help!
Regards
Marc

Hello,
for the problem:
b) What hava I to do that I not must press on the Refresh-Button to start the printing again
may be it just a setting in your Browser ?
For Internet Explorer :
go to I.E General Options screen. click on settings button and choose
"Every visit to the page " option.

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

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]

Passing parameter to Called form through Web.Show_document.

i am calling a form say 'form2.fmx' from 'form1.fmx' using web.show_document. the parameter is concatenated with the URL string properly but this parameter is not accessible in the called form.
Please Help
thanks

i am running forms Of 10G developer suit. i want to call and pass a parameter
'emp_no'(employee no) to a form say 'form2.fmx' from the form say 'form1.fmx' on button
click. so i have created a parameter named "emp_no" in the object navigator of "form2.fmx".
in form1.fmx, i am using web.show_document(URL) function as given below.
web.show_document('http://111.111.111.11:8889/forms90/f90servlet?form=form2.fmx&emp_no=7156&userid=scott/tiger@mysid','_blank');
This function successfully call the "form2.fmx" but in this form the value of parameter
"emp_no" is null even when i have passed it in the URL (as shown in the above code line)
i.e; the value of emp_no is null.
Note :
7156 is the value of emp_no parameter.
111.111.111.11 is the supposed ip address. etc.

How to call a form from WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT 10g Is this possible?????

how to call a form from WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
I would like to call a form using the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT the idea is from the menu that is attached to the form instead of use call_form use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(...my_newform.fmx)
Is this possible?????

Hi ,
I think yes...but under some circumstances....
In your formsweb.cfg file you should define a named configuration alias... such as:
[TEST]
workingDirectory=C:\TEST_DIR
form=C:\TEST_DIR\MY_NEWFORM.FMX
Then , after stopping , starting your OC4J instance..... you call that as (in a button , for example):
web.show_document('http:<your_server>:<port>/forms/frmservlet?config=[TEST]',_blank);
I have not tested it.....

Problem launching e-biz forms using Java JRE 1.6.0_07 and JRE 1.6.0_13

Got a problem launching Forms from e-biz 11.5.10.2 using JRE 1.6.
Our setup :
E-biz: 11.5.10.2
Forms: 6i Patchset 19
DB: 10.2.0.3
JRE: 1.6.0_07 (e-biz is config to use this version)
on windows desktop clients:
JRE: 1.6.0_13
As a non-privileged user account on the workstation, users cannot launch the forms using the 1.6.0_13 JRE.
When a privilieged(Admin) user account logs in, the forms launch fine using 1.6.0_13.
We understand that IA enforces many policy settings in our environment, but can anyone identify which types of policy settings would break this access?
Thanks everyone!
Gabe

Thanks for the docs! We've reviewed them, and are satisfied that the JRE family of 1.6 is working properly.
Our issue is that there are some windows security policies/ maybe group policies, that are restricting the launching of the forms using the newer 1.6.0_13 JRE. This is what we are after, and I would like to know if anyone else has faced similar issue.
Some more clarification:
if the workstation has the 1.6.0_07 JRE, and a non-privileged account logs in, the forms launch fine.
Once 1.6.0_13 is pushed (as our NetAdmin is requesting), the non-privileged account cannot launch forms. Instead, they get an active X request to install 1.6.0_07, which they do not have privilege to install.
Hope this helps.
Gabe
