REP 110 & REP 0110 .calling reports from Form 10g(10.1.2.0.2)

Hi All,
We are migrating form from Oracle form 6i to Oracle 10g(10.1.2.0.2). I am calling reports from forms
using Web.Show_Docment(). When we run reports in report builder 10g it works fine.
But when we try to run reports from Forms 10g it throws error which is given below.
We want to run reports from UNIX. After using this url to submit report we get error REP 110 and REP 0110
URL
http://GEM:7777/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_server&report=/u01/forms/QA_Forms10g/GEMREP.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+DESFORMAT=HTML+p_user_id=XYZ+p_client=2
ERROR

I will really appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hello,
You are mixing 2 separators in the URL : & and +
Use only one separator in the URL :
Example :

Calling Report From Form To Many Destinations

Hi
I am calling reports from forms using SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY and then run_report_object.
I dont know the destination until runtime of the report which is ok as I can pass this in via my procedure, but if that destination is many ie mail and file what is the best way to distribute the report?
I could call my procedure for each destination but that seems a bit unefficient since the report would be created many times, is there another way?

what about adding a drop-down-list near your report-button where you can choose the destination?
when you click the report-button you simply read the value selected in the drop-down-list and send it to your reports-server too.

Hi,
Thank you for your replay.
The problem have solved.
This my step :
1. Install Windows XP SP2 and Form 10.1.2.0.2 on new pc.
2. Install Jinit version 1.3.1.28.
3. Create report server
3. Compile form, report and pll
4. call report from from with this procedure :
PROCEDURE Call_Report (vFILENAME varchar2) IS
report_id                Report_Object;
ReportServerJob VARCHAR2(100);
vc_rep_status      VARCHAR2(100);
repsvr                          varchar2(21) := 'myserv';
userid                         VARCHAR2(100);
pass                          VARCHAR2(100);
Host                    VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
userid          := Get_Application_Property(USERNAME) ;
pass          := Get_Application_Property(PASSWORD) ;
Host          := Get_Application_Property(CONNECT_STRING) ;
report_id:= find_report_object('REPORT');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_FILENAME,vFILENAME||'.jsp');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,repsvr);
ReportServerJob:=run_report_object(report_id);
vc_rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(ReportServerJob);
WHILE vc_rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED', null)
LOOP
vc_rep_status:=REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(ReportServerJob);
END LOOP;
IF vc_rep_status='FINISHED' THEN
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet?report='||vFILENAME||'.jsp'||'&userid='||userid||'/'||pass||'@'||Host||'&destype=CACHE&desformat=PDF&paramform=yes','_blank');
ELSE
message ('Report failed with error message '|| vc_rep_status);
END IF;
END;
Ok, but i have another strange error. I will post new thread.
Thank you and regards

Calling report from form. Need PDF output

I am calling a report from a form using RUN_PRODUCT. I need to display the form in PDF format. When the user clicks the button in the form to run the report, acrobat reader should open up and the report displayed there. Please help.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. The first part worked. I am able to get the output in PDF format. In the 2nd part where I want to open acrobat and display the output, I am having some trouble with the code. When I compile, it says
win_api_environment.read_registry must be declared. Is there some package I need to attach?
Also, in the After reports trigger, how do I pass vFile (I am assuming this is the PDF file name)?
Thanks
The first thing you'll want to do is pass parameters to the report IE DESTYPE, DESNAME and DESFORMAT where these could be FILE, 'c:\temp\report' and PDF.
Then, you can try this piece of code I wrote (with some help from other people at Metalink and here) sometime back. Now, I call it from forms, but in your case, you'd have to run it in the after report trigger. Since with RUN_PRODUCT you don't know when the report is finished, if you did it from the form, it wouldn't work correctly.
PROCEDURE OPEN_PDF(vFile IN VARCHAR2)
IS
vcServerApp varchar2(40);
vcServerTag varchar2(600);
vcCommand varchar2(2000);
iArgPos pls_integer;

vcServerApp := win_api_environment.read_registry('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\CLASSES\.PDF','',true);

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.

Calling report from form in Web environment

Hi,
We are in the process of migrating our C/S appication (developed in Developer2k) to intranet using OAS. My question :
a) Is there any other way to call report from a form other than web.show_document?
b) When a report is called from the report server(using web.show_document), a log-in screen comes up unless the login and password is passed as parameter. Only problem with this is the password shows in the URL. Is there any other way to make the call so that the login & password does not show and the user won't have to login a second time to run the report?
Any reply would be appreciated..Thanks

1. Yes you can use run_product package procedure to call reports on web, Oracle documentation says that run_product command will run in web env.
2. Yes you can hide username & password from user, it depends on which method you are using to call reports, if you are using web cgi then add username & password in file "cgicmd.dat" and "oascmd.dat" for web catridge or in cartridge parameter setting you will find this files in directory "\orant\report60\server\".

FRM-41219 - Cannot able to call reports from form generated in Designer

Hi
I'm trying to call a report from form whit a button generated in Designer 10.1.2.0.2
But I'm getting error : FRM-41219 Invalid report id
I'm tying with a menu but I'm getting the same error.
Please help me

Note 1056653.6
FRM-41219 Cannot Find Report: Invalid ID
Problem Description:
You are getting error: FRM-41219 Cannot Find Report: Invalid ID
Problem Explanation:
The code is using find_report_object and passing a report name to the function.
The statements are as follows:
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('report1');
END;
Solution Explanation:
The error message frm-41219 is a new error code which corresponds to the
Oracle Developer forms/report integration.
This message essentially means that the report cannot be found. Specifying the
correct name of a report object found in the forms object navigator (not the
actual name of the rdf file) usually resolves the problem.

Calling reports from forms...i have 10 days left to find a solution please!

here is the scenario
i connect to a oracle 9i server from home. i use winxp and 9i Developer to create database applications. when i need to run forms i have to start an OCJ4 Instance, i have a problem though....
i need to run a report from a form and have tried the following methods:
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
repid := find_report_object('rptRequest');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_DESTYPE, SCREEN);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);*/
END;
this results in REP-0503 "You did not specify the name of a report"
i have also tried:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://localhost:8888/reports/server=repSRV&report=rptRequest.rdf&desformat=pdf&userid=user/pass@ORASERV&paramform=no');
but this display page cannot be found.
Where is the report server i should be pointing to?
thanks for your help

Michael,
the default Reports Services is started by a request to the Reports Servlet "rwservlet". To run Reports from Forms I suggest to install the Reports Services as a separate process that can be controlled by a Windows Service
iDS Home\bin rwserver -install <Reports Services name you want to use>
This creates a Windows Service for you that starts/stope the Reports Server. In Forms you use set_report_object_property() built-in to set the Repors services name to teh one specifie when installing the Reports Services process. Alternatively you can set the name in teh Report node property palette.
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_DESTYPE, SCREEN);
This is not a valid option when running a report on Reports Services. Try destype CACHE and set the desformat to either HTML, HTMLCSS or PDF.
Read http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/frm9isrw9i.pdf and 10 days no longer should be a problem.

Calling Reports From Forms

I've already commented out the <security> section, and uncommented the <compatible version="6i"> in <reports_server>.conf file. The rwproxy service is up and running on port 1949 and i'm using SIGLE_SIGN_ON=NO in rwservlet.properties file.
What could be wrong??
Regards,
Marcus Santos.

Jermima,
To call Reports9i from Forms6i it needs to be configured for backward compatibility. this means that your Reports9i server must run as if it was a 6i server.
The following is from an unpublished paper I wrote on this topic:
Using Reports9i with Forms 6i
====================================================
To be able to call Reports9i Services from a Forms6i client, an extra Reports server process must be created. Oracle9iAS Reports Services knows of two kinds of Reports Server processes. The in-process server is started the first time that a Reports is requested from the Web by
the Reports Servlet rwservlet. This Reports Server process cannot be used with Forms using Run_Report_Object and therefore a separate Reports Server process must be started prior to using it.
This can be done by issuing he following command from the Oracle9iAS/bin directory rwserver <servername> batch=yes & (UNIX)or rwserver -install <service name> (WINDOWS)In both cases, the first time that the Reports Server starts, a Reports configuration file <servername>.conf (UNIX) or <service_name>.conf (WINDOWS) is created in the Oracle9iAS/reports/conf directory.
To use Reports9i Services form a Forms6i client, this file needs some editing:
The Reports Sevices configuration file gets created with the first start of the Oracle9iAS Reports Services. The configuration settings in this file determine the runtime behavior of the Reports Services.
Two changes need to be applied to this file to make Oracle9iAs Services work with Forms6i client-server applications. Make sure that the Reports Services process was stopped before opening the Reports Services configuration file, located in the Oracle9iAS/reports/conf directory, with a text editor. The Reports Services configuration file name does apply to the following naming convention.
Separate server process
<ServiceName>.conf
<server>
[1] 
<cache class="oracle.reports.cache.RWCache">
<property name="cacheSize" value="50"/>


</cache>
[2] <security id="rwSec" class="oracle.reports.server.RWSecurity">
<property name="securityUserid" value="tyKAUY845QDO/2vyaGbQw â€¦" confidential="yes" encrypted="yes"/>
</security>
</server>
Change the following entries in the Reports Services configuration file for the Oracle9iAS Reports Services to accept requests from Forms 6i
clients.
[1] Uncomment this line to make Reports9i Services run in 6i compatibility mode. After uncommenting this line it should look similar to this
<compatible version="6i"/>
[2] Remove the <security> </security> tag pair and their included content. This effectively disables the Reports Services access control,
which by default requires a system authentication to be provided by the user to before running a report.
If later you want to recover access control, then all you need to do is to stop the Reports Services, delete the configuration file and start it up
again. This leads to a new configuration file being created. Repeat step [1].
Configure the tnsnames.ora file on the client and the server
For the Forms6i client server application and the Oracle9i Reports Server to know each other, the tnsnames.ora file needs to be edited on
both sides. The tnsnames.ora file to use is located in the Forms6i_Home/net80/admin directory on the client and the
Oracle9iAS/network/admin directory on the server. Add the following entry to both files:
<report_server_name>.<domain>=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=tcp)
(HOST=<hostname of the Reports Server installation>)
(PORT=1950)
The following entry is an example for a Reports Server with the name RepSRV in a â€œworldâ€? domain. Note that the port number of the Reports
Services is defaulted to 1950.
RepSRV.world=
(ADDRESS=
(PROTOCOL=tcp)
(HOST=<fnimphiu-lap.de.oacle.com)
(PORT=1950)
Rwservlet configuration file
=============================
Calling Oracle9iAS Reports Services from a Browser URL* accesse the reports servlet first, which then routes the request to the server
engine, The Reports servlet rwservlet is configured by a file named rwservlet.properties, located in the Oracle9iAS/reports/conf directory.
Open this file with a text editor and uncomment the following line by remiving the â€˜#â€™ character in front of it.
# SINGLESIGNON=YES
Change the value of this varible to No, so that the whole entry reads
SINGLESIGNON=NO.
Restart the Oracle9i Application Server, restarting the Oracle process monitor service (OPM), for the changes to take effect.
From now on the Reports Services does not require users to provide their single sign-on login password when retrieving the Report output
from the Web, which is one option of getting a Report back to the client.
* Note that you call the Servlet for retrieving the Reports output through web.show_document
