Launching report from button in forms

I have a report with a user input parameter that i need to launch from a button within oracle forms,
inputting the url does not display the report because of the perameter is there another way? ive looked into the built ins but they seem overly complicated for what i am trying to achieve as in theory it should be quite simple just to launch the report in the web browser (all of this is client side one machine holding all reports and forms)
really desperate as this has a deadline of tomorrow!!

I have searched and i couldnt find anything specifically to do with client side and perameters, i know how to do it via web browser and the listener etc but with a parameter this does not work.
i literally need to run the web version of the report as in reports builder does through a button
if you know of a thread please point me there thanks!!

Show the print dialog when running a report from an Oracle form.

I would like to be able to print an Oracle report from an Oracle form but
in addition show the print dialog. My PL/SQL code is shown at the bottom of this post.
I have set the 'printjob' system parameter to 'YES' in the
report and I can bring up a print dialog using the reports runtime.
However, as soon as I run it from my form I lose this capability. Setting
'printjob' to 'YES' in the code has no apparent effect.
Many thanks,
Ben

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*

/* Define the Report output format and the name of the Reports Server as well as a user-defined parameter, passing the department number from Forms to the Report. We don't need a parameter form to be displayed, and therefore paramform is set to "no". */

How to add entire new row at the top of table in pdf report from c# windows forms using iTextSharp

Hi for past 3 days i was thinking and breaking my head on how to add entire new at top table created in pdf report from c# windows forms with iTextSharp.
First: I was able to create/export sql server data in form of table in pdf report from c# windows forms. Given below is the code in c#.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Text;
using System.Data;
using System.IO;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using iTextSharp.text;
using iTextSharp.text.pdf;

public frmPDFTechnician()
InitializeComponent();
private void btnExport_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
var writer= PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("Technician22.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);
doc.SetPageSize(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Height));
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(7);
table.TotalWidth=585f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
PdfPTable inner = new PdfPTable(1);
inner.WidthPercentage = 115;
PdfPCell celt=new PdfPCell(new Phrase(new Paragraph("Institute/Hospital:AIIMS,NEW DELHI",FontFactory.GetFont("Arial",14,iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD,BaseColor.BLACK))));
inner.AddCell(celt);
Paragraph para = new Paragraph("DCS Clinical Report-Technician wise", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK));
para.Alignment = iTextSharp.text.Element.TITLE;
iTextSharp.text.Image png = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance("logo5.png");
png.ScaleToFit(95f, 95f);
png.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;

dr.Close();
table.SpacingBefore = 15f;
doc.Add(para);
doc.Add(png);
doc.Add(inner);
doc.Add(table);
doc.Close();
The code executes well with no problem and get all datas from tables into table in PDF report from c# windows forms.
But here is my problem how can i align Title(DCS Clinical Report-Technician wise) center of pdf report with image named:logo5.png immediately coming to it's right?.
As the problem i am facing is my title or Header(DCS Clinical Report-Technician wise) is at top of my image named:logo5.png and not coming to it's center position of my image.
Second the problem i am facing is how to add new entire row to top of existing table in pdf report from c# windows form using iTextSharp?.
given in below is the row and it's data . So how do i add the given below row and it's data to my top my table in pdf report from c# windows forms using itextsharp?
as you can see how i create my columns in table in pdf report and populate it with sql server data. Given the code below:
Document doc = new Document(PageSize.A4.Rotate());
var writer= PdfWriter.GetInstance(doc, new FileStream("Technician22.pdf", FileMode.Create));
doc.SetMargins(50, 50, 50, 50);
doc.SetPageSize(new iTextSharp.text.Rectangle(iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Width, iTextSharp.text.PageSize.LETTER.Height));
doc.Open();
PdfPTable table = new PdfPTable(7);
table.TotalWidth=585f;
table.LockedWidth = true;
Paragraph para = new Paragraph("DCS Clinical Report-Technician wise", FontFactory.GetFont("Arial", 14, iTextSharp.text.Font.BOLD, BaseColor.BLACK));
para.Alignment = iTextSharp.text.Element.TITLE;
iTextSharp.text.Image png = iTextSharp.text.Image.GetInstance("logo5.png");
png.ScaleToFit(95f, 95f);
png.Alignment = Element.ALIGN_RIGHT;
SqlConnection conn=new SqlConnection("Data Source=NPD-4\\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DRRS;Integrated Security=true");
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("Select t.technician_id,td.Technician_first_name,td.Technician_middle_name,td.Technician_last_name,t.technician_dob,t.technician_sex,td.technician_type from Techniciandetail td,Technician t where td.technician_id=t.technician_id and td.status=1", conn);
conn.Open();
SqlDataReader dr;

table.SpacingBefore = 15f;
doc.Add(para);
doc.Add(png);
doc.Add(table);
doc.Close();
So my question is how to make my column headers in bold?
So these are my questions.
1. how can i align Title(DCS Clinical Report-Technician wise) center of pdf report with image named:logo5.png immediately coming to it's right?.
2. how do i add the given below row and it's data to my top my table in pdf report from c# windows forms using itextsharp?

I’m sorry for the issue that you are hitting now.
This itextsharp is third party control, for this issue, I recommended to consult the control provider directly, I think they can give more precise troubleshooting.

Calling a JSP Report From HTML parameter form

Hi,
I m trying to run a JSP Report from a HTML parameter Form. The JSP reports requires a parameter named userid in the URL with a valid value for database connection.
eg. URL "http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_crdinf.jsp?userid=sysapps/system@trt1". We have created a variable on the server named "parmformjsp" with a value "sysapps/system@trt1". Now i use this variable in the URL as follows, eg. "http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_crdinf.jsp?parmformjsp".
When i use this URL to call another JSP report from a JSP report it works fine, but the same does not work when calling a JSP report from a HTML form.
the code for HTML parameter form calling a report is as follows,
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Parameter Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Parameter Form</p>
<form name="form1" method="GET"
action="http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_custrns.jsp?parmformjsp">
<p>From Date<input type="text" name="p_fmdate" size="20"></p>
<p>To Date<input type="text" name="p_todate" size="20"></p>
<p> </p>
<p><input type="submit" ><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html>
If i create an input parameter named "userid" with a valid database connection value, remove the ?parmformjsp part from the action URL then it works fine. How can i call the JSP report using the parmformjsp variable name instead of using the "userid" clause in the URL.Can anyone suggest any workaround....
Thanks & Best Regards,
Unmesh

do it like this...
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
BEGIN
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL', TEXT_PARAMETER, :ROUTE_CARD.ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL);
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'D:\STL_FINAL\CHPREPORTS_FINAL\ROUTE_CARD.REP', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END; what exactly happens when you call the report. if its showing the blank page... may be you are not passing the right parameter name. cross-check that your parameter name in the report is 'ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL'.

Calling a report from a web form & specifying PDF format

Has anyone been able to call a report from Oracle Forms (6i or 9i) in a web browser (i.e. by pressing a button or any other link)? We are having problems generating the report in PDF format when we web deployed our forms. In client server mode it works fine with the report deferring to PDF. But in the web browser it reverts to a messy HTML format with the columns being distorted. Running a standalone report from the web is no problem but when it is linked with a form it goes back to HTML. In the old forms (5.0) we used a function like run_product but I am not sure what the problem is in the new environment.
T.J.

Hello,
According to the way the reports is launched, the format of the reports output depends on the
variables : FORMS60_REPFORMAT (for Forms 6.0 and 6i)
Two others variables are used : FORMS60_OUTPUT and FORMS60_MAPPING.
Can you check the variable FORMS60_REPFORMAT ?
regards Dennis:
Thanks for the info. Your suggestion of changing the windows registry setting FORMS60_REPFORMAT to 'PDF' worked! I did not have to make any other changes to the form. I left the run_product format as is in the form and it worked like a charm. When we eventually migrate to Oracle Reports/Forms 9i we will look into using run_report_object. But for now we will stick with Oracle Forms6i. There was no need to alter the other registry settings FORMS60_MAPPING and FORMS60_OUTPUT since I followed the instructions of setting the virtual directories (symbolic links) when I installed the forms and reports services.
Thanks again for your help!

Calling a Report from a Web Form

Hi,
I am calling a Report developed in report 6i from a Web form 6i
Button. I am unable to launch the Report if Report is using a
Customized Template. The report is able to launch if it has no
template or using the templates given in report wizard. Is there
any setting required in the Report Server for reading the
template file???

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;

Open a report from button click/javascript

Hi,
Does anyone know if there is a way to call a report from a button click? Or through javascript? I set the report to Display Results > Link - within the dashboard and then did a view source on it and found the function that calls the report from the hyperlink.
This is the code:
return DashboardReportLink('saw.dll?PortalGo&_scid=v-x8QJloqTY&PortalPath=/shared/Plan\x2520Setup\x2520Audit\x2520Tool\x2520/_portal/Plan\x2520Setup\x2520Audit&Page=Historical&NavFromViewID=d\x253adashboard\x257ep\x253acp4tq3p9brn77o6o\x257er\x253a8a2g9nltmkrtra9n&Path=/shared/Plan\x2520Setup\x2520Audit\x2520Tool\x2520/Archive\x2520Reporting/Run\x2520Historical\x2520Report&Action=PromptStart&Options=frdc', 'd:dashboard~p:cp4tq3p9brn77o6o~r:8a2g9nltmkrtra9n','Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/Plan\x2520Setup\x2520Audit\x2520Tool\x2520/_portal/Plan\x2520Setup\x2520Audit&Page=Historical', false)
I added this function to the end of my javascript but when i click the button it just opens a blank page with
http://la820119:9704/analytics/saw.dll?PortalGo
as the url.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi,
So i have been trying out a few things and the following url works to open the default view of the request:
window.location='saw.dll?Go&Path=/shared/Plan Setup Audit Tool /Archive Reporting/Run Historical Report&Options=dfr';
I just replaced 'Dashboard' in the code provided with the 'Go' and it started to work :)
What i need to do though is have this work for the session variables set up on the dashboard. I have 7 prompts which a user can use to filter a request. Each is assigned to a session variable that is used to call a stored procedure. Originally i thought that by setting the variables and then calling the report from the url that the session variable values i set would be used in the request. What seems to be happening is that the variables get set and then, on calling the url, they are reset to the defaults and the report is run.
Any help in solving this would be very much appreciated

Calling a report from designer genareted form

i will appraciate if anyone can tell me how to create a form module that navigate to a report module in 9i designer.i tried action item but i receieved couple of different error messages.i have also tried to find information on this but i couldnt
thanks!

Okay, this is gonna be tricky to explain but lemme give it a shot:
I'm assuming that your Report is a Called Module inside your Form. This allowed you to create an Action Item that calls this Report upon pressing the provided button. Now, generate your Form and open the .FMB. Try to locate these two things:
1. The Report attached to your form, with the Designer-provided name "CG$OFG_REPORT", and
2. A Program Unit named "CGNV$AI_(name of action item)" (e.g., I named my action item "FAX" so the prog. unit is named "CGNV$AI_FAX").
If you dig into the Program Unit's code, you will find that it makes use of a procedure named "CGNV$INVOKE_REPORT" which resides in the standard, provided PL/SQL Library "OFGNAVL.PLL" . I looked for my Ofgnavl file and opened it up to inspect the CGNV$INVOKE_REPORT procedure. I found that it has been hard-coded to call the report "CGNV$OFG_REPORT", and not "CG$OFG_REPORT" !!! That's probably why your action item is failing.
Inspect the procedure a little further. There are about seven lines, one after another, that all invoke the SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY built-in procedure, and then the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT immediately after. What I did was to copy this code, go all the way back to Designer (Design Editor), and build myself a procedure under my module's Application Logic, Named Routines which calls the correct report (I even varied this slightly by specifying the report by it's filename). I even added some code to put out some feedback (i.e., Message) to tell the user when the report has finished successfully.
To make a long story short, I wrote a procedure to invoke my report, and then I just created a button that calls the procedure when a user presses it.
Hope this helps. Feel free to email me if you need further guidance.

Passing sort as a parameter to Reports from Oracle 9i forms

I'm trying to call a report from 9i forms by passing 13 parameters. One of them is a 'sort' parameter. All the other parameters are passed succesfully to the report and the report also receives them successfully. But 'sort' parameter didn't work. I don't know if the report received it or not. I can see all the parameter values on the browser link of IE. The sort parameter also appears there but doesn't sort the data.
!!!!! Please help me out !!!!
Thank you.

Hello,
Are you still haveing problems witht he sort parameter? If so, I use a lexical parameter as the sort parameter along with an after paramter form trigger. I have found that a bind variable doesn't work. So it maybe that the report is running just fine but the sort parameter is just not working properly due to the bind variable. If you don't have it set up with a lexical paramter, try this:
First get rid of any bind variable with an "ORDER BY" clause. For example, you may have:
select
columnA,
columnB,
columnC,
columnB
from tableA
where
columnA is not null
order by
:sortby
However, replace the order by with:
select
columnA,
columnB,
columnC,
columnB
from tableA
where
columnA is not null
&sortby
Then create another user parameter by clicking the "+" in the object navigater. Call it P_1. Use this parameter as the parameter the users sees. You can create a static list of values that a user can choose to sort by. Say "A", "B","C", and "D".
Then in your after parameter form trigger, put the following code:
function AfterPForm return boolean is
begin
IF :P_1 = 'A' THEN
:sortby := 'Order by columnA';
ELSE IF :P_1 = 'B' THEN
:sortby := 'Order by columnB';
ELSE IF :P_1 = 'C' THEN
:sortby := 'Order by columnC';
ELSE IF :P_1 = 'D' THEN
:sortby := 'Order by columnD';
END IF;
END IF;
END IF;
END IF;
return (TRUE);
end;
Hope this helps.
