Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports as portlets

Please, where can I get the documentation to publish Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports as portlets. I found some information about it in metalink but the URLs are invalid.

Hi,
Here are the steps you need to follow while building Portlets .
1) After creating a Application,in the last step click on the Checkbox 'EXPOSE AS PROVIDER'.
If the application has already been created ,click on the same checkbox in the grant access section.
2) When creating a component within the application ,select the checkbox 'PUBLISH TO PORTAL'.
Incase ,you have already created the component then just click on the same option in the grant access section.
Now when you want to add these portlets to be part of a page .Just select the provider(Application) and the portlets under it.
Hope this helps.

  • Difference between AFTER PARAMETER FORM and BEFORE REPORT in Reports 6i

    Hi Aii,
    What is the difference between AFTER PARAMETER FORM and BEFORE REPORT in Reports 6i.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Balu

    Hi Balu.,
    As per my findings the After Parameter is fired after the Parameters are given to the report and Before Report fires when the queries are parsed and data is fetched.

  • Images in HTML forms and/or reports

    Hi,
    Apologies if a stupid question, but can you display a combination of data and image content in Portal HTML forms and/or reports? If so, how?
    This question assumes that the image in question is browser-supported (e.g. gif file), and the link to it is in the same database table as the data being reported (as a bfile data type).
    Alternatively, what if the image was actually directly stored in the database table as a BLOB data type?
    Help!
    Cheers, Jeff

    Hi Sharmila,
    Thanks for the info!
    Would this also work if the image wasn't a blob, but instead just stored on the filesystem (as a gif file), with the reference to it stored in the database as a bfile datatype?
    Thanks once again, Jeff
    Hi,
    You can build portal forms to upload images. You can use blob columns here. You can also have images in a report. This will be the SQL to query data from tables having intermedia data.
    Select a.empno,a.ename,a.mgr,a.sal,
    portal30.wwv_user_utilities.get_intermedia('EMP','EMP_AUDIO','AUDIO',a.rowid)
    the_audio, b.dname,b.loc,
    portal30.wwv_user_utilities.get_intermedia('DEPT','DEPT_PICTURE','IMAGE',b.rowid) the_picture
    from emp a, dept b
    where a.deptno = b.deptno
    The table should have the ordimage column type.
    Thanks,
    Sharmila

  • Put Oracle Report in Portlet

    I have developed a Oracle Report which can display through the web browser. How can I put it in a Portlet?
    Do I have to add any provider ?
    null

    hello,
    unfortunatly, there is no built-in way in 6i to display a report inside portal. you will have to use the URL portlet (is part of PDF available here on OTN) to display the report.

  • Calling Reports from Forms, and creating Reports objects

    Hello I'm trying to create a Form which lists and launches all of our Reports. In our Client/Server set up we just have a Form which is based on a lookup table of Reports. When the user selects a report on the Form RUN_PRODUCT is used to call the report.
    In Forms 9, do I have to create a Report object in the Form for every Report in our system and do I really have to modify the Form every time a new Report is created to add the new Report in?

    Hello,
    <p>No, one single report object could fit for any report, if you modify its properties at runtime.<br>
    For information, I have written a Forms 9i module able to run any report with 0 up to 10 parameters</p>
    <p>Hope this helps</p>

  • Running forms and calling reports generates a lot of files

    could anyone help me on this one...
    I have a form that the users use, on that form I call reports.
    Now I don't know (forms? or reports?) what keeps creating files
    on the directory they run the form....there is a lot (over 200
    files) files that get created, most of them are 0KB size, the
    rest is not understandable. And there are 3 types of file names:
    1-02120151 (only the number change, and most of them are 0kb)
    2-dat00356482 (these ones start by dat.....the rest changes also.
    3-idx25410224 (these also change the numbers but the idx is
    always there.)
    is there anything i can do, i keep deleting them but they never
    stop get created....what could happen?
    i use forms 4.5.
    thanks for your help,
    bino,

    oh bino isso sao perguntas de principiante pah:)))
    esses ficheiros temporarios podes apaga-los, alias podes com as
    dde do forms mandar apagar todos com extensao idx!

  • Need information re: differences b/w Forms and Reports 6i

    Hello,
    Hope someone in this forum can help me on this issue (and forgive my naivete wrt techical terms)...the ITS department within my company currently has an Oracle 8i db and an 8i AS. We have Forms (and Reports) 6i currently installed on the 8i AS but have not had need to use those as yet (we are mostly using financial apps). We are looking to upgrade to a 9i db (in add'n to the 8i) and possibly, to a 9i AS as well--and begin using Forms, Reports, Designer and Discoverer. My question is--could someone explain to me if what is commonly referred to as Forms 6i (and Reports, Designer, Discoverer 6i) are currently "bundled" in the Oracle 9i Developer Suite? I guess my (sub) question is: does the 9i Developer Suite have a higher version of 6i (i.e. 6.0.1) than what one would use with against an 8i db on the 8i AS? I see in the literature for Oracle 9i Developer Suite: Oracle Forms Developer, Oracle Designer, Oracle Reports Developer, and Oracle Discoverer (Admin). I've tried going through Oracle documentation but can't seem to find concrete answers.
    Thank you very much in advance for anyone who can help me figure this out!
    -Karen

    Oracle9i Developer Suite contains the latest versions of Oracle Forms/Reports - namely Oracle9i Forms and Oracle9i Reports - both can work with an Oracle8i Database (see metalink.oracle.com).
    Oracle Forms 6i and Oracle Reports 6i are part of the older version of Oracle9iDS known as Oracle Internet Developer Suite. They can work with Oracle9i Database as well as Oracle9i Database.
    Forms 6i works with Oracle9iAS v1.0.2 and Oracle9i Forms works with Oracle9iAS v2.
    I hope this clears things for you.

  • Problem hiding userid etc in cookie using 10.1.2.0.2 Forms and Reports

    Hi
    Background
    I am new to 10.1.2.0.2 Forms and Reports and also to Application Server - though not to Oracle forms and reports. We are currently converting from 6i.
    Due to security concerns we would very much like to use the FrmReportsInteg Bean (or like) to hide userid connect string in a temporary and encrypted cookie when trying to run a report from a form (and the report has a report parameter screen that we want to display).
    Firstly I have to decide how we are going to use reports via the Developer Suite -for development work. Then I have to work out how to do it via the Application Server - for testing and production. So if you have two variations of any solutions - one for DS and one for AS, could you give both please?
    Problem
    Problem is that I cannot get the bean to work. I get report parameter form displaying ok, hit submit and then get the Database User Authentication window poppling up with the "REP-51018: Need database user authentication" error that I've noticed a few other people in this forum have had too. If the user id etc is then entered in this window, the report parameter form redisplays (from a second html) and submitting this causes the report to display. Don't like the Database User Authentication window poppling up and don't like the second parameter form - html for this has the userid etc in it.
    For me though I can't even get the bean to output any logs. Got any ideas to help me at least output some logs?
    Also do I have to do anything to the browser (IE6) to get it to read the cookies?
    Do I need to change the bean code for the DS in some way - eg to avoid using domain name (as I noticed in another thread)?
    My code exactly follows the whitepaper and I also carefully followed the instructions for adding the bean to the form and configuring the forms services - as per white paper.
    Looking forward to some answers

  • Tracking calls to Forms and Reports in an application - Migration

    Hello,
    This is an interesting case. I have an application that has a number of Forms and reports written for 6i. Before I start migrating to 10g, I want to have an estimate of the current usage for this app (for one month), namely the number of times users accessed the forms and the reports.
    For example:
    Form A accessed 675 times
    Form B accessed 30 times
    Form M accessed 0 times
    etc..
    sames things for the reports.
    Based on this statistics, I can say which ones should be migrated first, etc...
    Now, I was thinking about creating a table called USAGE and each time a user clicks on the menu that calls a Form or a report, I will update the corresponding record in USAGE.
    The problem here is that users can access a report or form from within other forms and as such the info I get from the Menu will be only a rough estimate. I need to point out that I don't want to open ALL the forms and check whether there are other calls from there.
    What do you think of this approach and if someone was faced with the same issue, what would be the best bet to get the usage estimate.
    Note: The app is used quite heavily.
    Thanks

    That's one possibility but the thing is that I don't want to open ALL the fmbs and then add that piece of code.
    That's why I want to just work on the Menu and try gather statistics from there. However, that will give me only a rough estimate.
    I was looking at Oracle Trace and I am checking whether I can get the required info (Forms and reports names) from this log for a client/server Forms app. However, I would prefer to see whether someone already had experimented with this.
    Thanks.

  • How do I make forms and reports to stay in the Portal Page?

    Hi,
    I have a report with a Link to a form on my Portal Page. When I
    click one of those Links, the form is opened on a separate Page,
    with just the basic template and no possibility to add extra
    portlets. Is there any way of controlling on which Page the
    target of a Link should be displayed?

    Harald, if I understand you right, this is your scenario:
    You have a page with a form and a report in it. When you click
    on a row in the report, you want to be able to edit that row in
    the form, but still within the page (not the form all by itself).
    This is not supported in 3.0.9, but it is possible with some
    extra coding. Ken Atkins gave a presentation on exactly this at
    the last ODTUG convention, and again at the recent VOUG
    convention. Its a bit too complicated to explain here, but if
    you want, email me or look for his presentation on odtug.org or
    voug.org websites (not sure if the voug ones are up yet, it was
    last week).
    Also, be wary, since its not supported, things like that tend to
    break when new versions come out.

  • Form and report on a table - redirecting to report on submit

    Hi,
    I've created a form and a report on a table...
    in a form, one of the item is a radio group (with submit) with static list of values... I've set it up to submit as I am hiding/displaying other items based on the selection... for example, when user select the location value then only city and country fields are displayed and so on...
    my problem is that when I make a selection it saves the state and takes me back to the report... when I come back to the report then I see items (hidden/displayed based on the selection that I made before I left the form)
    any way to fix it...? please advice
    Thanks

    Hi,
    OK - we can't use a Dynamic Action but we can use Javascript to do this.
    Firstly, change the item type to an ordinary Radio button - that is, remove the Submit
    Secondly, in your page attribute's HTML Header setting, add in:
    &lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;
    function submitByRadioButton()
    if ($v('P1_PKITEM') != '')
      doSubmit('P1_RADIOITEM');
    &lt;/script&gt;Replace P1_PKITEM with the page item name for the hidden primary key and P1_RADIOITEM with the page item name of the radio button.
    Then, on the radio button item, add the following in the HTML Form Element Attributes setting:
    onclick="javascript:submitByRadioButton()"Finally, create a branch that returns to the same page - make sure that the Sequence number puts it before any Unconditional branch. Set the Condition for this to "Request = Expression 1" and enter P1_RADIOITEM (or whatever the page item name is for the radio button) into the Expression 1 setting.
    Now, when the user creates a new record, the hidden P1_PKITEM value will be blank. Clicking the radio button at this time will not trigger a submit and the function checks this. For existing records, P1_PKITEM will contain a value, so the function will allow the doSubmit to run.
