Max no of parameters in cgicmd.dat

Hi,
It has been observed that the max no of parameters that can be
passed thro'key mapping is 9.
If the no of parameters r more than 9, an error "Error parsing
parameters to command line" is flashed.
What r the options available in case one has to pass more than 9
parameters thro'key mapping.
The problem is concerned with reports6i
Thanx
Yogesh

We encounter problems on Oracle 8.05 when attempting to have more then 30 parameters.
("Invalid parameter type (sqlstate=S1105)").

Number of parameters possible in cgicmd.dat?

Is it possible to have more than 10 parameters in the cgicmd.dat keyfile?
I have a query that requires a lot of joins and would like to use parameters like
param1=%1
param20=%20.
The problem seems to be that I can't use 2-digit parameters - I run into trouble as soon as I use something like %10. The cgi then substitutes the %1 value and errors on the '0' part.
any help much appreciated!

Hi, Alan and John
The following is written in the cgicmd.dat file ITSELF:
; Currently recognized special parameters:
; %0 - %9 - 0..9 arguments from original RWCGI60 URL request. Note that %0 refers to the key itself.Remember that you can also create different key maps for the same report (again in cgimap.dat) with some of the parameters already filled.
Or you can use PARAMFORM=YES and use an HTML FORM to enter the parameters (if you are not calling the reports in BATCH mode).
The limit of 9 parameters only applies for parameters that you would want to enter in the URL itself.
Hope this helps,
Pedro

Cgicmd.dat file usage

Hi,
I am generating my reports using the cgicmd.dat file in pdf format and my application is in web-based html.
I have a report which passes 4 paramters and 2 of it is considered imortant (and dynamic according to user interaction in the begining) and should not be changed by the users. I have found out that by using the parameter forms like %P, %PT and %PC entry in the cgicmd.dat file would means that I cannot use other user parameters in the file entry, and so also in the reverse situation.
But when I tried to put both of them (%P and %1..%4 for user parameters) together, then call up the reports with the parameter values included in the entry (like http://server/repserver/?repname+value1+v2+v3+v4), I seems to be able to pass the important values to the displayed parameter form while hiding them and asking the users to enter only the other 2 parameters which they may change.
But then, when I submit the form, it gave me an error:
======================================================
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Error occurred while parsing the Reports Server command line.
======================================================
May anyone assist me on how I can make use of the parameter form and also passing in some values that are dynamic and cannot be changed by the users?
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

FYI...
Our dev and prod are at the same levels. I was able to narrow the problem down further, however. It appears to be a row size problem. If I force a rownum < 1500 in my report's query, then it works fine on dev and prod. If I force a rownum < 2000, then it crashes the engine on prod. The reason it works on dev and not on prod is that the amount of data on dev is far less than prod. Also, I ran the report locally on my PC against the prod database and it gave me a little more info. The report appears to query all of the rows fine, but it gets an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception. Since the report comes back with all rows just fine using a DESFORMAT other than DELIMITED, I believe it's a bug with applying the delimiter when formatting the report. The admins say that we are a few patchsets behind, so I'm guessing it is a fixed bug already.
Thanks.

Manupulation in cgicmd.dat file...!

Hi all I'm using Forms/Reports 9.0.1 ..My question is wether is it possible to make a key in cgicmd.dat file for "HOST" i.e.
mykey:http://local11:8888/reports/rwservlet
can i make a key like that ...???? If yes, then how to use it ... I have referred the mannual for that it says 'Key must be defined for parameters after the "?" sign in URL '...
I want to hide the HOST path in URL of web.show_document command..
Anybody,
Thanx in advance
Regards
Percy

Thanx for reply ..
can i make key for whatever written on LEFT of "?"...
Let me tell u first why i want to do this .. It might be possible that my host server might get changed in future & if it happens i ve to change the host name in every form where i wrote the web.show_document statement ... that could be a big headache...i dont want to do that..... So instead of modifying the statement in every form can i make a KEY in cgicmd.dat so that i will modify only the KEY and subsequent changes will reflect in every form...!!

Cgicmd.dat and do what with it???

What do i need to put into the CGI and what do i need to add to my html string to hide the uname and pword.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by the oracle reports team:
hello,
the cgicmd.dat is exactly for this reason.
if you have in your cgicmd.dat e.g.
foo: server=myserver1.world report=foo.rdf username=test/test@db
foo2: server=myserver1.world report=foo2.rdf username=test/test@db
you the invoke the reports using http://server.com/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?foo
or http://server.com/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?foo2
see online documentation for further details. there are multiple other parameters you can add to the CGI-key file

Hey,
I have everything set up just like above and i keep getting a report server not specified error in the browser. I KNOW the server is specified in the .dat file. Help soon.

Using the cgicmd.dat file

In using the 9i report (pdf) format as a portlet
for portal we are required to supply the OID resource
under the ssoconn parameter . Since the numbers of users
are high and there seems to be no way other assigning programatically the resources ..
am wondering if i could use the cgicmd.dat file
i have seen examples for thing for jsp's but i dint see one for the rdf( pdf) formats run via rwservlet..
any pointer examplese would greatly help..
deepa

Hi Deepa,
Take a look at the cgicmd.dat file that comes with the iAS installation
ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/
This file has examples for rwservlet as well as for jsp's. To quote from this file:
; Oracle9iAS Reports Services ;
; CGICMD.DAT ;
; Example CGICMD.DAT Mapping file ;
; Syntax:
; KEY : VALUE
; Where:
; KEY - the first argument of the rwservlet URL request (case insensitive).
; VALUE - command line parameters and/or special parameters.
; Keys can be referenced in the following ways:
; 1. Parameter on command line to the reports servlet
; e.g. http://machine/servlet/rwservlet?KEY
; 2. Parameter on command line to a reports jsp
; e.g. http://machine/mydir/myreport.jsp?KEY
; 3. Within a reports jsp - in the rw:report custom tag
; e.g. <rw:report parameters="KEY">
Also, you could take a look at the Publishing reports manual, Section 8.9

Oracle Reports 10g cgicmd.dat

Hello!
We are migrating from oracle reports 6i to 10g. The URL before looked like this:
http://localhost:7778/cgi-bin/rwcgi60.exe?ebib_dev+BibArve.rep+44252
We use now rwservlet instead, thus the link is the following:
http://localhost:7778/reports/rwservlet?ebib_dev+BibArve.rep+44252
The appropriate record in cgicmd.dat is:
ebib_dev: report=%1 P1=%2 desformat=pdf destype=cache userid=user/passwd@MYDB
When executing the URL we get the following error:
REP-110: File 'BibArve.rep=' not found.
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'BibArve.rep='.
Why this extra "=" appears? I have no idea :( I tried "&" instead of "+", same effect
Please help!
Thanks in advance,
Andrei

Andrei,
this is filed as bug 4671569
To work around this issue, use %* and add the parameters to the Reports URL
e.g.
http://localhost:7778/reports/rwservlet?ebib_dev&report=BibArve.rep...
cgicmd.dat
ebib_dev: desformat=pdf destype=cache userid=user/passwd@MYDB %*

Failing to call report with envid in cgicmd.dat

I am trying to use the envid parameter in my cgicmd.dat file but I can’t get it to work with the REPORTS_PATH environment variable. This is on Solaris with Oracle 10G.
I have a report called activityreport.pdf in the directory /olm/carefirst/test92exec.
When I run the Oracle Reports Paper Report Tester with these parameters:
Reports Server rep_sunbox36_FRHome1
Report activityreport.pdf
DB connect string <id>/<pwd>@<instance>
DesType cache
DesFormat PDF
Other Parameters envid=test92
I get these errors:
REP-110: Unable to open file 'activityreport.rdf'.
REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document.
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'activityreport.rdf'.
When I run it with these parameters:
Reports Server rep_sunbox36_FRHome1
Report /olm/carefirst/test92exec/activityreport.pdf
DB connect string <id>/<pwd>@<instance>
DesType cache
DesFormat PDF
Other Parameters envid=test92
It works.
In $ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf we have a file called rep_sunbox36_frhome1.conf which includes these lines:
<environment id="test92">
<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="/olm/carefirst/test92exec;"/>
</environment>
Is it significant that the Reports Server is called rep_sunbox36_FRHome1 (upper case FRH) & the config file is called rep_sunbox36_frhome1.conf (lower case FRH)? (I’ve renamed the file to lower case and I got the same errors so I’m assuming not).
Any advice appreciated. Chris

Hello,
Check if REPORTS_PATH is set in the file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/reports.sh
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_conf.htm
For engines used by the standalone server, the order of precedence for environment variables from highest to lowest is as follows:
reports.sh (UNIX only)
environment element in the Reports Server configuration file
So, if REPORTS_PATH is set in reports.sh, the value define in "environment element in the Reports Server configuration file" will not be taken into account ...

Key map problem (cgicmd.dat)

I am trying to set the server name in the key map file but am not having any luck (i.e. the report always comes back with
a request for the server name).
Here is the key:
epcdb_run: server=rptsvwww008 destype=cache desformat=HTMLCSS %*
The cgicmd.dat file is found but no matter what I do, I always have to specify the server on the actual URL.
(this works http://..//epcdb_run?server=rptsvwww008, this doesn't http://...//epcdb_run
We have a large number of drill-down reports and I am trying to set the server name in one place for portability reasons.
Thanks,
Jason

Some suggestions,
(1). First of all, make sure your url is like:
http://<server-name>:<port>/<cgi-bin>/rwcgi60.exe?epcdb_run
Not
http://<server-name>:<port>/<cgi-bin>/rwcgi60.exe//epcdb_run (as you said in your message).
(2). Please do a showmap: http://....../rwcgi60.exe/showmap, and verify key epcdb_run's content is correct. Sometimes you may have more than one keymap file in your system, and you may accidentally use another key map file.
(3). Please do a parsequery: http://...../rwcgi60.exe/parsequery?epcdb_run. Web command "parsequery" is for diagnostic purpose, you can see what parameters reports CGI is received and will be passed to Reports Server. You should be able to see if the server name is there.
Hope this helps,

How to use multiple selection parameters in the data model

Hi, after have looked all the previous threads about how to use multiple selection parameters , I still have a problem;
I'm using Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.3.2 and I'm tried to define more than one multiple selection parameters inside the data template;
Inside a simple SQL queries they work perfectly....but inside the data template I have errors.
My data template is the following (it's very simple...I am just testing how the parameters work):
<dataTemplate name="Test" defaultPackage="bip_departments_2_parameters">
<parameters>
<parameter name="p_dep_2_param" include_in_output="false" datatype="character"/>
<parameter name="p_loc_1_param" include_in_output="false" datatype="character"/>
</parameters>
<dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="bip_departments_2_parameters.beforeReportTrigger"/>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q2">
<![CDATA[
select deptno, dname,loc
from dept
&p_where_clause
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_DEPT" source="Q2">
<element name="deptno" value="deptno"/>
<element name="dname" value="dname"/>
<element name="loc" value="loc"/>
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
The 2 parameters are based on these LOV:
1) select distinct dname from dept (p_dep_2_param)
2) select distinct loc from dept (p_loc_1_param)
and both of them have checked the "Multiple selection" and "Can select all" boxes
The package I created, in order to use the lexical refence is:
CREATE OR REPLACE package SCOTT.bip_departments_2_parameters
as
p_dep_2_param varchar2(14);
p_loc_1_param varchar2(20);
p_where_clause varchar2(100);
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;
CREATE OR REPLACE package body SCOTT.bip_departments_2_parameters
as
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean
is
l_return boolean := true;
begin
if (p_dep_2_param is not null) --and (p_loc_1_param is not null)
then
p_where_clause := 'where (dname in (' || replace (p_dep_1_param, '''') || ') and loc in (' || replace (p_loc_1_param, '''') || '))';
else
p_where_clause := 'where 1=1';
end if;
return (l_return);
end beforereporttrigger;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;
As you see, I tried to have only one p_where_clause (with more than one parameter inside)....but it doesn't work...
Using only the first parameter (based on deptno (which is number), the p_where_clause is: p_where_clause := 'where (deptno in (' || replace (p_dep_2_param, '''') || '))';
it works perfectly....
Now I don't know if the problem is the datatype, but I noticed that with a single parameter (deptno is number), the lexical refence (inside the data template) works.....with a varchar parameter it doesn't work....
So my questions are these:
1) how can I define the p_where_clause (inside the package) with a single varchar parameter (for example, the department location name)
2) how can I define the p_where_clause using more than one parameter (for example, the department location name and the department name) not number.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion
Alex

Alex,
the missing thing in your example is the fact, that if only one value is selected, the parameter has exact this value like BOSTON. If you choose more than one value, the parameter includes the *'*, so that it looks like *'BOSTON','NEW YORK'*. So you need to check in the package, if there's a *,* in the parameter or not. If yes there's more than one value, if not it's only one value or it's null.
So change your package to (you need to expand your variables)
create or replace package bip_departments_2_parameters
as
p_dep_2_param varchar2(1000);
p_loc_1_param varchar2(1000);
p_where_clause varchar2(1000);
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;
create or replace package body bip_departments_2_parameters
as
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean
is
l_return boolean := true;
begin
p_where_clause := ' ';
if p_dep_2_param is not null then
if instr(p_dep_2_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME in ('||p_dep_2_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME = '''||p_dep_2_param||'''';
end if;
if p_loc_1_param is not null then
if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC IN ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
end if;
end if;
else
if p_loc_1_param is not null then
if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC in ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
end if;
end if;
end if;

How to update cgicmd.dat file during runtime?

I'd like to know how do update cgicmd.dat file during runtime. For example, I run a report one.jsp as
http://<machine>:<port>/reports/rwservlet?one.jsp&USERID=uid/pwd@db&DESTYPE=cache&mode=bitmap&desformat=htmlcss
within this report there is a hyperlink to open another report named two.jsp.
before creating this hyperlink, I'd like to update cgicmd.dat file with passed in userID, pwd, and connection, so two.jsp can use this key for userinfo
so I can create hyperlink as follows
srw.set_hyperlink('/reports/rwservlet?report=two.jsp'||
'&cmdkey=userinfo&DESTYPE=cache&mode=bitmap&desformat=htmlcss');
Thanks

To my knowledge the cgicmd.dat is only read when the OC4J starts, so you would have to come up with another solution. Using Single-Sign-On (SSO) is quite a good idea, and it's there for cases like this.

Cgicmd.dat in formsweb.cfg?

Hi,
in my formsweb.cfg i have two alias that point to two different database.
I have only one cgicmd.dat and don't want to change code of forms for invoking reports.
I can put two different cgicmd.dat for pointing the two database ?
Thanks.
Best regards.
Francesco

I don't see any issue here. You have two alias in formsweb.cfg, each can point to its own database. And since you want to use the same codes for Forms and Reports that make it even more easier.

How to use the cgicmd.dat to specify a directory name for desname

Hi folks,
What I'm trying to do is use a command key to specify the directory for a file, specified via desname. Here's an example.
cgicmd.dat
custom_reports_dir: /some/directory/custom_reports
Then I want to reference it via something like this..
http://server:7777/reports/rwservlet?cmdkey=rpt_connect&destype=file&desname=custom_reports_dir/test.pdf&desformat=pdf
Where in the above example, I'm trying to use the command key to specify a directory name, and then append a file name to it. It isn't working for me, is this possible to do? I figure since it's not an argument in itsself, it's being interpreted literally, rather than being substituted for the parameter.
Thanks very much,

That depends on how you actually run your program in the first place. If you just use a batch file you could simply make the path to the javaw.exe relative (e.g. jre\javaw.exe �cp lib\myJar.jar com.MyClass). Or you could look into some third-party software that allows you to create installations packages for Java. I have used Zero G's InstallAnywhere before and they have support for you setting up their executables to use a bundled jre. I am sure all the other java install makers have similar functionality.
