Open files located in AS by using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT

Hi ,
I need to open some documents in the client machience, documents are located in the AS .
This method is working,
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://<server_name>:<port>/forms/java/myFile.doc');
but the problem is, documents should be in the ORACLE_HOME/Forms/Java or its sub path. but i want to keep the documents out side the ORACLE_HOME. Any body can help me?, i think we have to do some configurations in the formsweb.cfg or forms.cfg file.
Also, is there any other better solution to open the documetns(PDF/DOC/XLS) in the client machine, but the files are located in the AS.
Thanks in advance
Rizly

add another virtual directory to your forms.conf file referening the real directory outside your ORACLE_HOME
forms.conf is in same loaction as formsweb.cfg
eg
# Virtual path for all my documents PDF/XLS/DOC
AliasMatch ^/forms/mydocs/(..*) "F:\path_to_my_doc_dir/$1"
you have to restart your http server and OC4J forms services after modification

  • 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
    Report Builder 10.1.2.0.2
    ORACLE Server Release 10.1.0.4.2
    and I running the forms and reports server on my local machine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    Thanks for answering,
    I changed the URL from
    http://nbotlaguduru.dms.local/export/FMSLaborChargesalcs20060829132645.pdf
    to
    http://nbotlaguduru.dms.local:8889/export/FMSLaborChargesalcs20060829132645.pdf
    and the same problem occured
    the file is located on my local C drive in:
    C:\lcs\export
    seems as though I am missing something else as well
    any ideas?

  • Open file located in the HTMLResources with adobeDPS.dialogService.open()

    Is it possible to open file located in the HTMLResources with adobeDPS.dialogService.open()?
    Method adobeDPS.dialogService.open('http://www.google.com/') - works well, but it not support relative URLs
    I can make button in InDesign layout with url "HTMLResources/faq.html",
    but how to make HTML-button in web-overlay that opens file from HTMLResources in slideup webview?
    Thanks

    Hi, Why do you need to use HTMLResources?
    You can try use all HTML files (faq.html too) in web content.
    Do you want a lightbox effect, than your webcontent frame need to be the same size of page
    I believe that the results is quite similar.

  • To access pdf files from application server using web.show_document

    Hello!
    If my pdf file is copied in Oracle_home/forms90/java directory.Then using web.show_document i can access the pdf file.But I can't copy all the pdf files in /forms90/java directory.We have lacs of pdf files which I want to keep in my own directory.But my requirement is if my pdf file is in /home2/docs directory in (Linux application server) ie in my own directory where I store all the pdf files.Then web.show_document does not open the pdf file.It says page cannot be displayed.For that I think we have to configure the directory /home2/docs directory as a webserver.From otn I got something like forms90.conf file in application server where we have to set virtual directory mapping etc.If the pdf is in local machine then in orion-web.xml file we have to mention real path and save the file and shutdown oc4j instance and restart it again.I tried it.But it is not working.Can u give me step by step instructions to solve this problem.I found a few links in discussion forum.But is doesn't work out.My pdf file is in /home2/docs directory in Linux application server.Please treat it as urgent.
    Regards

    Hi Sandeepmsandy,
    There is no available code sample for this scenario. You may write your own.
    Step 1: Get pdf URL from sqlite database. Please refer to the following MSDN blog and see a code sample.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertgreen/archive/2012/11/13/using-sqlite-in-windows-store-apps.aspx. Note, you need to retarget the project to 8.1 and then get two sqlite packages from NuGet before building this sample.
    Step 2: Use some special classes to get file from serer.
    HttpWebRequest can help download small pdf files. For more information to see
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/de96a61c-e089-4595-8349-612be5d23ee6/download-file-with-httpwebrequest?forum=winappswithcsharp. It’s easy for use, but if you want to download the larger or many files, it’s recommend to use
    BackgroundTransfer namespace. The classes in this namespace provide a power way to transfer files in the background. See a code sample from MSND.

  • Windows 7 ultimate task manager can not open file location

    hi, I just re-installed the Windows 7 Ultimate on my laptop several weeks ago, everything goes well until I find this error. When I open Task Manger and right click one process, then an error occurs when I click "Open File Location". It shows as
    "taskmgr.exe
    This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel."
    There is no any information in the windows event log about this error and I try to search online but without any solution. Could anyone help me figure this out? TIA!

    Hi,
    Since it prompts that it is related with file association, you can try fixing it.

  • Showing tiff files using web.show_document

    Hello,
    I want to show tiff files using web.show_document. Tiff files cannot be displayed in a browser, however therr are several plug-ins available to show them.
    Can anyone recommend a plugin to display tiff files in a browser?
    Kind Regards Erik

    We had tried a different approach. We store all type of documents in the database using webutil.
    And we dont directly open any document and we download the document to the local host and then open it using webutil client host ('local folder\file name')
    This way word,excel, pdf etc will be automatically opened with its relevant appln and if there is relevant appln is not found it will prompt the windows standard Open with dialog box.

  • "Open file location" option from the search window replaces the search window to open the file location

    After searching for  some files, when I right click on any file from the search window and click "open file location", the file location is opened in the same search window there by detroying my search. In Vista this option would open the file location in a separate window. This is really annoying if I want to open locations of several files from the search window.

    The more thorough explanation of how to do this is right-click the item then CTRL-Left Click "Open file Location". This will open it in a new window.
    I agree that Microsoft makes unnecessary changes to the operating system which cause it to behave less productively. The search is an important part of an operating system and Microsoft managed to make it the worst part.
    Bring back the XP search option. I'm very sad so see this terribly executed search is still the norm in Windows 8. 
    To put it bluntly, I don't use Windows by choice, it's my job to deal with it.

  • 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.

    Dear Mr. hisham,
    Thanks For your Post,
    Actually i have the same issue, but it want to kill a running report in the report server by clicking such a button that have already the jobID.
    whithout opening the reportserver page so that no body see any other reports running.
    like in this example:
    Declare
    L_URL Varchar2(1000);
    Begin
    L_URL := :apps_server||'/reports/rwservlet/Killjobid'||:JOB_ID||'?'||'server='||:report_server;
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:window.open('||l_URL||');self.close()','_blank') ;
    End;
    Is it posible to do that, If so how can do it. and do i have to do any settin someware on the server like formsweb.cfg or reportserver.cnf.
    thanks in advance.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Hide Explorer window called using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT()

    I've created a JSP which creates and saves a PDF into the database. I call this JSP using web.show_document as a result of which an explorer window is opened,which is not what I want. I want to use the JSP functionality in the background not making the user aware of this. I've tried the following :
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('javascript:void(window.open("'||URL||'","","location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,resizable=yes"))','_blank');
    But the PDF does not get saved into the database using this call.
    Help would be appreciated...

    Does the pdf gets saved when you paste the same url into a browser-window "by hand" ?
    If you don't want to show the url you could create a java-class which just opens a http-connection, import it using the Java-Importer and call it on the application-server
