Oracle Form as redirect to Oracle Reports

Okay, I can't figure out how to hide the parameters in a URL from a non-Oracle Form to an Oracle Report. I found a work around on how to call an Oracle Report with a built in parameter form from an Oracle Form, but I have never used forms. Could anyone give me a clue on how I could just create an Oracle form with buttons to the reports so I can build the fix and redirect the user to the Oracle report. I would really appreciate any help, any guidance, any direction in this matter.
Thank you,
V-

here is that information regarding 9i. Perhaps here
you can find that information as a reference.

Oracle reports 6i to Oracle forms 10g migration

Hi,
I have .rdf files which were created on Oracle Reports 6i. I would like to migrate the .rdf files into Oracle Reports module which is present as a part of Oracle Forms 10g to generate PDF output.
Please let me know the detailed steps to be followed as I am a total newbie. Also I need to generate these reports on demand from a java 5 application (JSF 2.0).
Currently for ORacle reports 6i, I have the following code in my java application
rwrun60.exe g:\tomcat33\webapps\reports\web-inf\src\null userid=***/*** destype=FILE desformat="pdf" paramform=NO printjob=NO batch=YES desname=temp.pdf
1. What would be the equivalent for reports in ORacle Forms 10g ? I know there is an Oracle Apps server where ther report services reside. How to I invoke my report from my java application (residing on a weblogic server 10.3.6)?
2. What ould I do with the 6i .rdf files to upgrade them to 10g ?

I am trying to call an Oracle report i.e .rdf (which is located on the Oracle App Server) from my java EE 5 (JSF) application. The Oracle App server is Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2. I assume Oracle report generation capability is available in this release. I need to invoke the report from my Java JSF application on demand (whenever the user clicks a button on the web browser page, the report should appear on the browser as PDF) . My java application resides on Linux weblogic server.
Please let me know how it can be done ? I see rwclient.sh and another method to directly invoke using a URL. How do I do it on java, would a request.redirect() to the URL work ?
Also for hiding the params in the URL. keys need to be configured on the Oracle server right ?
Also if we use rwclient.sh or the URL based invocation, would there be any issue in concurrency when multiple users request the same report at the same time ?

Create an Oracle Reports Parameter form application in HTMLDB

I am investigating whether I can satisfy following requirement using HTMLDB and if yes, then what are the steps to be followed.
The idea is simple. Store Oracle Reports name, parameter names, default values etc. in a table and write an application which will display a list of reports on your left, on clicking a report, use the param names stored in the table to display a form to accept values for each parameter and the submit button calls a URL pointing to the Oracle Reports Server.
This can be done easily using Oracle Forms but I am investigating if this can be done using HTMLDB since it's 100% thin client.
Any comments, hints etc. appreciated.
Thanks,
Manish

Thanks.
I had already seen the how-to article but my requirement was a little different since each Param Name, Value will be stored in seperate record. If a report has 4 parameters, then the table will have 4 records, one for each parameter. Here's a sample table structure that I am using.
rep_name varchar2(100)
,param_name varchar2(100)
,sort_order integer
,param_len varchar2(100)
,param_data_type varchar2(100)
,param_required varchar2(1) default 'N'
,param_description varchar2(100)
,default_value varchar2(1000)
,lov_sql varchar2(1000)
I was in fact able to achieve what I want by using a Tabular Form with the parameter description display only and default value updateable and it's submit button can be redirected to the reports URL with form fields substitution. I will use cgicmd.dat to map username/password so that it's not visible in the url.
My additional questions:
1. As per the table structure above, I have a lov_sql text field. Is it possible to create an LOV on the tabular form using this lov_sql?
2. Above the tabular form, I want to display a drop-down-list with a list of reports. When a user selects a list-item, I want to refresh the page with it's tabular form showing parameters for that report. Kind of parameterizing the Form display. Is this possible? If not what are the alternatives?
Thanks,

Oracle Reports Parameter Form trouble on SuSE Linux

I have the report compiled on AIX 5.2, everything's fine, the same source file I compiled on SuSE Linux 8.0, the format of parameter form is totally screwed up. I compared the HTML source of those 2 parameter forms, and found the code generated by Oracle Reports.
on AIX 5.2:

<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=379>
<tr><td width=8><td width=9><td width=59><td width=9><td width=33><td width=22><td width=17><td width=119><td width=33><td width=45><td width=21><td width=1><td width=3>
<tr><td colspan=13 height=19>....
on Linux:

<table border=0 cellspacing=0 cellpadding=0 width=4>
<tr><td width=1><td width=1><td width=1><td width=1>
<tr><td colspan=4 height=0>...
As you can see the setting width=4 in the table tag on Linux squeeze up the table a lot.
Where do I configure to prevent this happened?
thanks,
Jess

I am unable to get order by column name in oracle report parameter form

i created query like following in query builder
SELECT CASE_NO, COURT_ID, CASE_TYPE,
INITCAP(PLAINTIFF) PLAINTIFF,INITCAP( DEFENDENT) DEFENDENT,
INITCAP(COUNSEL) COUNSEL, START_DATE, PREVIOUS_HEARING_DATE,

and i created parameter form for these two bind variables :P_NHD,:P_COL
in,:P_COL i wrote lov as Select trim(COLUMN_NAME) from user_tab_columns where table_name='L_CASE_MASTER_MAIN' to get all the columns.
in parameter form i am able to get all the columns but when i am generating report it is not giving results as per my ordered column.
kindly let me know the solution
Report Version :Oracle Reports 11g
Db Version:Oracle 11g

Hi,
Ordering the column first takes place from the Data Model Itself.
Please Check your column ordering in the report data model. If it is not ordered in a right way then Rearrange it.
Remove your order by in query...
If any issues... let me know

Call Oracle Reports from Forms ver 9i or 10g

Hi,
Can somebody guide me, how to call Oracle Reports from the Oracle form 9i,

What is the best way to call the reports from the form ??? pls help...
Thanks in avdance.
Jitesh ([email protected])

You can use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT with CACHE type, and WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to view the document on the screen.
In the Forms help you should find examples.
If you have access to Metalink, have a look at Note:207396.1.

Integration problem between oracle forms 10g and oracle report 10g

Hi!
I've got any error message "Unable to connect to the report server "server name"" when a oracle report is run using run_report_object in the oracle form under oracle form developer 10g. Please advise any settings are required in order to run the report. Thank you very much.
Best Regards

The report server is running as the report can be run via URL in the brower. However, it prompts out the error when it is called by oracle form using the run_report_object.

Oracle reports calling problem from FORMS

Hies
Guys I've a problem in oracle report calling from Oracle FORMS. I am using reports and forms 6i. When the report name length is more than 30 characters the report engine runs first time correctly but on the second call of report the system gives an error :
" RWRBE60.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows.You will need to restart the program ".
After this error the report engine closes and i have to call the report again.
Is there a length fixed for reports name in Oracle 6i.
Is any possible solution available.
Remember i dont want to shorten my report names.
Kindly help me with this.
Thanx.

Thanx Frank
Well one solution is that i can decrease the length of my report name and the problem does not occur than.
any ways thanx ..but where to get the patch from.

How Do You Debug Oracle Report Calls From Forms On The App Server?

I am working on a system which uses oracle forms and reports 10g.
In our system we call, we are calling oracle reports from oracle forms. How do we debug the form code when the form and report both are running on the application server in production.
To my knowledge, this can not be done when the form is running locally since there is only OC4J forms services locally.
I understand one views error messages through the jinitiator console but how does one turn on this facility? How do you determine what line the error occurred?
I am looking for step by step instructions as answer to this issue.
Please be specific. Please write in good English.

Good afternoon,
If you have the developer suite installed on your PC, run the report from your form and then follow this tree from the start button on your PC:
Developer Suite Home =>
Reports Developer =>
Oracle Application Server Report Services =>
Reports Queue Manager
Select View => Past Jobs and then find your report in the list, double-click the report entry and you'll see the error message that was generated by the Report Server when you tried to run the report.
Good luck,
Don.

I was able to download it from this link:
[http://download-llnw.oracle.com/otn/java/jdeveloper/11.1.1.3.0/jdevstudio11113install.exe]
on the general 11g Fusion download page at:

Although the site does appear to be having problems. I got intermittent errors of the page/server not being available.
