Netscape 7 replaces form window when calling reports

Netscape 7.0, unlike Netscape 4.7 does not handle forms application that calls on Reports to display Report preview in PDF.
When our forms call reports to display a report to the user in the browser, the window on which the form screen is presented is replaced by the window which brings up adobe reader to display the report.
IE 5.5, Netscape 4.7 work fine.
Is there a configuration which must be set in Netscape or in the forms code to direct the browser to open a separate window to receive reports output?

Lawrence,
try calling it
web.show_document('<URL'>,_blank);
This should do it. In Forms9i this built-in is able to call out to javascript, giving you even more control over the window you use it in.

Suppressing parameter form when calling report (Designer 6i R4.11)

I use an action item on a Forms module to call a Reports module. This Report has one argument, and its value is provided by the Forms module. When I run the Form and press the button (= action item), the Reports parameter Form appears. How can I suppress the parameter Form since the value is provided by the Form?
Setting the display property of the argument to 'No' doesn't work.

Hi Harm,
There is one parameter called 'PARAMFORM', this is text parameter saying report
whether it has to show the Parameter form or not.
If we set this to 'NO' when calling report,i t won't show the Parameter Form.
Another way is...
Open the report and delete all the items from the Parameter form layout.
Pass all the parameters from the form. Now it wont show the parameter form.
Think it will help you.
Thanks.
Siva.

How to hide URL when calling Reports from Forms 10g.

Hi ,
When end user runs a report through a form then report output is displayed and following type of URL is also generated on address bar of browser: http://server:7778/reports/rwservlet/getjobid22243?server=rep_servername_appsrv
Can we hide this URL so that the user cant change the JOB_ID and get access to other previous reports.
Thanks & Regards,
NL

Actually, there are several options including the one already offered above. Here are a few more:
1. If you are using 10.1.2.3 and a newer JRE on the client (e.g. 1.6.0_10 or newer), you could use java script to open the report. This will not be a perfect solution because it may not work if using a non-IE browser or if java scripting is disabled. Refer to MyOracleSupport Article 265863.1 for more information.
EXAMPLE:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:void(window.open("http://www.oracle.com","","location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,"));self.close()','_blank');Replace the url in the above example with the call to your report.
2. Set the age of the cache to a very short value so that it is only available long enough to be viewed by the user who created it. In other words, when setting the reports properties in your Forms code, include the Reports "others" parameter with TOLERANCE=1
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'TOLERANCE=1');This will cause the cache (on the server) to live for only one minute then be deleted. Refer to the Report Deployment Guide for more information.
3. Upgrade to Fusion Middleware (Forms/Reports) 11. In version 11, the Reports jobid can be randomized. See section 18.8.2 of the Reports 11 Deployment Guide

Getting rep-3002 when calling report from form on web

i am getting rep-3002 when i call report from a form on web environment. Report is in character mode. It is coming proper if i change it to bitmap. but my requirement is of character mode. pl. give some solution.

Hello,
If you are running in WinNT/2000 environment, the NT/2000 user which runs the Report Server service must have a printer defined. In the control panel, look at the properties for the Report Server to see what user it runs as. Log in as that user and make sure a default printer is defined.

No Parameter form when calling report from Forms 6i webpage

I have my Forms 6i fmx files and Reports rep files runnung off of HP Unix
within the same directory and yet when I call the report with RUN_PRODUCT,
I don't get the Parameter Form popup. I left it as default at first, and then I even tried using ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'HTML') to my parameter pl_id in my RUN_PRODUCT call. Can anyone tell me why I don't get a Parameter form?

Actually if you are on the Web then you don't have much control over the format the parameter form is in, so specifying it as HTML doesn't help.
Try paramform=yes when calling teh Report and this "temporarily" should help. The problem that you run into the is that there is nothing happening when you click the parameter form submit button. The reason is that when using Run_Product you are talking to a static HTML file generated into teh Reports temp directory with no services assigned to it.
Check the Whitepaper under http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/pdf/277282.pdf for the options that you have.

Suppressing parameter form when calling report

I use an action button on a Forms module to call a Reports module. This Report has one argument, and the value is provided by the module. When I run the Form and press the button, the parameter form of Reports appears. How can I suppress the parameter Form since the value is provided by the Form?
Set the display property of the parameter to 'No' doesn't work.
I use Designer 6i R4.11

I don't know how to set this in Designer, but to your action button you have to add this:
Add_Parameter(plid,'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
plid - parameter list

Hangs when calling report to be displayed in PDF format

I am calling reports from a form using RUN_PRODUCT to be displayed in PDF format. Initially, there is no problem generating and displaying reports, but inevitably at some point when a report is run it just hangs. Rebooting the server temporarily fixes problem. Any ideas on what is happening?

Hide UserID, Password, and Report Path when call Report from Report

Hi,
I have been able to call Report from Report using the hyperlink.
I put these code in my Field on the Report caller.
function F_3FormatTrigger return boolean is
temp varchar2(2000);
begin
temp := 'http://<computer_name>:8889/reports/rwservlet?';
temp := temp || 'server=repsrv' || '&' ||
                     'report=C:\MyReport\rep_detail.jsp' || '&' ||
                     'userid=scott/tiger@orcl' || '&' ||
                     'desformat=htmlcss' || '&' ||
                     'destype=cache' || '&' ||
                     'P_1=' || :ItemID || '&' ||
                     'P_2=' || :ItemName;
SRW.Set_Hyperlink(temp);
return (TRUE);
end;The hyperlink showed, and I can see the rep_detail.jsp showed in the same browser after I clicked the hyperlink.
The problem is, the hyperlink has to include the reports path and also userid and password.
If I did not put the userid and password, it will showed in another browse that
"The report has uncompiled PL/SQL"
How can I hide those userid, password, and the reports path?
BTW, Is there anyway to show the report callee in different page (precisely, open another IE) from the report caller?
Any help would be grateful.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Hi,
Thanks for the answers.
Yet, I am still doubt about using cgicmd.dat.
I have looked around in this forum saying that it is not secure to use cgicmd.dat. Because all report request does not use authentication (the client can directly open report without login).
In Form, I can use the On-Logon to do the Oracle Form login (to do logon to the database), and then I use my own custom user login to restrict the menu for each user.
I do this since I want to restrict the user,
i.e user A can only view the sales form as well as sales report,
user B can only view the purchasing form as well as purchasing report.
Well, I am not so fond about the SSO itself.
It comes to my mind, since I don't have to re-login (to the database) each time I call another form (login database is only once at the first Form, On-Logon). It also goes to when calling the report caller.
What is RAD?
How can we use it?
Is OID = Oracle Internet Directory?
If true, maybe, I won't use it since I don't understand about it also.
Why we don't have to specify the userid and password when Form calls Report1 (using Run_Report_Object and Web.Show_Document())?
But we have to specify the userid and password when Report1 calls Report2.
Any help is appreciated.
Many thanks,
Buntoro

Called form crashes, when called with default option

Here is the problem statement.
My problem is regarding the called_form built-in function of Oracle forms.
I am calling call_form within a loop.
call_form('schdule_task');
In first iteration it opens the called form and when the user clicks on exit button it comes back to the calling form and starts next iteration.But in next iteration the called form comes up and crashes immediately, causing the application to crash.
The calling form does not get a chance to become visible because by default call_form executes with 'HIDE'(hide the calling form) option.
Now if I execute the above mentioned call_form statement with "NO_HIDE" option then the called form does not crash in any of the iteration and the loop runs fine till the end.
call_form('schdule_task',NO_HIDE);
What can be the problem? Is it related to call_form call or something else?

Form exits when calling another form

I have a form that passes parameters to another form. When creating new records and then calling the other form, it works fine. However, when coming from a post query and then passes parameters to a new form, the form exits upon calling of the other form. What causes this? Thanks for your help. I am using Forms Developer 6.0
Edited by: user6656248 on Apr 14, 2009 8:30 PM

My form is intermittent, when creating new records, sometimes the other form is called and parameters are passed but sometimes nothing happens and there are no errors. But from post query, calling another form and passing parameters exits the calling form and the called form does not show up. This form calls another form and passes some parameters without problems but when I tried to call another one, those scenarios happen. I am confused because the codes on both my When-Button-Pressed trigger are 100% similar. I dont know why this happens on this one and NEVER on the other. I hope you understand my query. Thanks a lot for responding. Please help.

Error REP-3002 when call report from WebForm

Hi,
i run form (6.0) on Form Server (IAS9i) to call report (6.0) to print receipt on local printer using RUN_PRODUCT command (PARAMFORM=NO, DESTYPE=PRINTER) and got Error Message "REP-3002 Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed." but on Client-Server it's OK.
the objective is just want to direct print report to printer (do not show parameter form)
anyone know how to solve this problem ?

Hi,
i've changed to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT as your advice and followed the instructions in "Oracle Reports Remote Printing Utility - An Oracle Technical White Paper December 2000". i tested orarrp by created the HTML file follow the steps in page 5 of the paper, it worked.
then i modified existed form, set report object property like this :
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE, FILE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESNAME,'test.rrpa');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,'Rep60_NTSERVER2');
note : i'm not sure that i set the right value for REPORT_SERVER property, i got this value from TNSNAMES.ORA file.
then call the report with this statement :
:GLOBAL.ReportHandle := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
it showed the same error message :
"REP-3002 Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed."
i think i set something wrong, but i don't know where. could you help me ?

Error when calling report

Hi
can anybody tell me why am i getting this error
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Unable to communicate with the Reports Server.
thanks,
mandar

Chaitali,
the 'unable to connect to report server' may point to a problem either with the Reports Server name used in Forms, or with the Reports Server name as it is specified in the tnsnames.ora file of the Forms installation.
If you can run the Reports from a Browser, thene there must be something wrong with the parameters passed from Forms (e.g. a hidden character due to a copy and paste action).
For the first problem, could it be that you restrict the parameter in reports to a list of predefined values? if yes then it doesn't accept a value thats not in this list.
Frank
Can you connect to the Reports Server using the queuemanager (if you are on Windows, its accessible from the start menu in teh Reports section)?
