Open a pdf file located on Application Server from forms 10g

Dear all,
I want to open a pdf file which is stored in a folder on Application Server.
I have the following codes but could not be able to open the file.
1. host('rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler C:\REP012.pdf');
in this code I mentioned the path on local machine which is okey.
but the question is that how to open the file which is located in a folder on application server?
the following code don't show and file or error:
host('rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler /EMS/MANUALS/ACC001.PDF');
This is the file on Application Server not on local machine.
2. web.show_document('//EMS/MANUALS/ACC001.PDF/','_blank');
This give HTTP 404 NOT FOUND error
I think the problem is in path, how to mention the path of my Application Server file?
Regards:
Muhammad Nadeem

Hi,
Did you find a solution to this?
We are running into the same problem where we need to open a file present on the application server (path /opt/webapps/applications/ISL/)
When we try this from the local machine it works (path D:/forms) however it does not work while trying to open it from the application server.

Default file location when calling report from Forms 10G

I've tried this in the reports forum, but it applies equally to forms I guess..
Hi,
I've managed to put together a routine for running a report from a 10G Form. In 6i I specified a "relative path" to my report name as follows:-
"Run_Product(REPORTS, '..\Reports\myreportname', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL); "
In 10G I would like to just specify the report name, rather than the full file path. Can I specify a relative file path - or alternatively can I set the default report location in a configuration file?
At the moment I'm having to specify something like:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_FILENAME,
'c:\oracle\systemname\reports\myreportname.RDF');
I would like to just have:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_FILENAME,
'myreportname.RDF');
Many thanks,
Keith.

Do you run your application on an application server?
If so you should use the REPORTS_PATH environment variable (in windows registry entry).
Alternatively you could use an environmentid in the reports.conf-file:
<server version="10.1.2.0.2">
<environment id="YOURID">
<envVariable name="REPORTS_PATH" value="C:\......"/>
</environment>
You call the report with the parameter &envid=YOURID in the URL.

Save PDF-file on the application server

Hello experts,
I convert my Smartform to a PDF-File. I copied the code from Suresh Kumar Parvathaneni (REPORT zsuresh_test). At first, thank you Suresh Kumar for that!
Now, I would like to save the PDF-File on the application server and not local.
Could you tell me how to do this. Especially, where do I have to put the abap-code in the given code from Suresh Kumar.
I thank you very much for your help in advance.
With kind regards.

Hi,
You can use the OPEN DATASET statment.
Probably you must be having an output table which you are downloading to the local machine.You can use the same and loop at it. and if the OPEN dataset returned sy-subrc 0, use the TRANSFER statment.
Remember the data will be binary for pdf. So you have to open the dataset in binary mode.

Open a PDF file located in a network folder in WD ABAP application

Hello,
I need to open a PDF file in my Web Dynpro ABAP application:
1) The PDF file is located in a shared folder (e.g.
host\files\file.pdf)
2) If I build an ALV table in my application and create a linktourl element that opens the following path "file://host/files/file.pdf" I have success
3) Now, instead of having the linktourl element in my table I want to have a button that saves the pdf located in
host\files\file.pdf to the user's local PC and then opens the PDF
Do you know if this is possible?
Can you explain me how to do it?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Ricardo

Hi Ricardo.
Use below method to save file to your local system.
Instead of using link to URL, use link to action.
LV_FILENAME = 'FIlename.pdf'.
LV_MIMETYPE = 'pdf'.
CL_WD_RUNTIME_SERVICES=>ATTACH_FILE_TO_RESPONSE(
          EXPORTING I_FILENAME = LV_FILENAME
                    I_CONTENT = LV_CONTENT

How to connect to SQL Server from Forms 10g?

Hello all,
How do we connect to SQL Server database from Forms 10g?
In Oracle Metalink site they have suggested using Transparent Gateway for SQL Server as a solution.
But is there a way we can connect directly to SQL Server from Forms using an ODBC connection
without installing anything on the database server?
Pls help!
Regards,
Sam

Hello all,
I was able to connect to SQL Server from Oracle using Generic Connectivity (HSODBC).
Transparent gateway was not required.
Followed metalink note 109730.1
So, after I created a dblink to SQL Server, I created a synonym for the dblinked SQL Server table.
When I used the synonym as the table source in Oracle Forms, I got the following error while querying.
"ORA-02070 - ROWID is not supported in this context."
This is because Forms has an invisible ROWID field and when data is fetched from SQL Server table
no Rowid is fetched since SQL Server table doesn't have one.
Is there a way to overcome this issue or do we have populate the block manually using a SQL query ?
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Sam

You can't tranfer the whole PDF data with just one transfer statement, instead you have to loop that table and transfer the data to the file until you reach the last row.

Unale to print pdf files in oracle application server using oracle forms

Hi
We are using oracle developer suite 10g(10.1.2.3.0) in Windows vista. (test environment)
Oracle application server 10g(10.1.2.3.0) in Hp-UX 11iv3 (production environment)
We are able to print pdf files in test environment from oracle forms using the below command:
host('/usr/bin/lp -d p9775hplaser '||'/ashome/output/'||:print_file);
But while declaring to the live environment it is not working
host('cat '||:pdf_print_file||' | acroread -toPostScript | /usr/bin/lp -dp9775hplaser');
but when the above command is put in hp-ux cmd prompt it is workinh"'cat '||:pdf_print_file||' | acroread -toPostScript | /usr/bin/lp -dp9775hplaser'";
Kind ly tell me whether the problem i with the host command and some other command is available for printing files from forms.

Here is my guess:
declare
AppID PLS_INTEGER;
begin
AppID := DDE.App_Begin('acroread -toPostScript '||file name,DDE.APP_MODE_MINIMIZED);
end;

Open a pdf file located on Application Server from forms 10g
