Oracle Report Parameter LOV

Hi hussein,
I have a customized Oracle Report for EBS 11i.
My report sa "static" LOV and have static list of value
1
2
3
4
5
How do I register this LOV in the EBS 11i?
I also have "select table" LOV. I know how to register this parameter in EBS using System Administrator > Application> Validation > Set
I don not know the static one :(
Please help....
Thanks

hi hussein,helios,
I found this note in metalink:
Subject: Re : LOV
you can say .. two types: static and dynamic
static or independent means, you have to hard code what all values will be there in lov. this hardcoding is done from app dev responsibility
dynamic or dependent means, it will pick values at run time using some query from some table(s). so, if anything changes in table, it will reflect immediately in LOV. whereas in static lov, you have to make changes in value sets values explicitly. I am interest in "this hardcoding is done from app dev responsibility" , I do not know how to encode those static value. :(
thanks

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,
NEXT_HEARING_DATE,INITCAP( DESCRIPTION) DESCRIPTION,

LEGAL_FILE_NO, MSNO
FROM L_CASE_MASTER_MAIN
WHERE to_char(NEXT_HEARING_DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY')=:P_NHD ORDER BY :P_COL
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

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

Oracle Reports Parameter List form called through URL bring blank page

We are using 10g Release 2
We are able to load balance all other reports out there.
1. Using run_report_objects in oracle forms
2. Using a URL to call a report directly with parameters.
However we are unable to use the URL function if there there is a hard ware load balancer in front. For the following scenario
1. Using a URL to call an oracle report using its own internal parameters form. This is with the parameter "paraform=yes"

Not getting Reports Parameter Form in web-forms environ

I am not able to get a report parameter form to appear for a
report called from forms via a 'run_product' command. It works
fine in client/server mode. In web-forms the report just goes
ahead and runs without the needed parameters. I have tried
explicitly passing a parameter list with the 'paramform' set to
'yes' and this did nothing. I have this on a NT box with latest
Dev2 patches applied.
1. Is the reports parameter form supposed to work in web-forms
mode?
2. How do you set it up to work, if it is supposed to work?
Thanks for any replies.

I guess you have to use web.show_document - I found this article
on DevConnect:
Article-ID: <Note:68647.1>
Circulation: PUBLISHED (EXTERNAL)
Platform: GENERIC Generic issue
Subject: How to show Reports HTML PARAMFORM when
calling Reports
from Forms
Modified-Date: 09-AUG-1999 18:02:04
Document-Type: BULLETIN
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN
Impact: MEDIUM
Component: SQLREP
PURPOSE:
This bulletin explains how to overcome the current restriction
of calling an Oracle Report from Oracle Forms and showing a
PARAMETER FORM. This is currently not possible when using the
RUN_PRODUCT built-in with
WEB DEPLOYED APPLICATIONS.
DESCRIPTION:
When you call an Oracle Report from Oracle Forms using
RUN_PRODUCT in Client-server, you can specify an optional
parameter called PARAMFORM to display the parameter form defined
in the Oracle Report.
For web-deployed applications, the PARAMFORM parameter can be
set to HTML to produce a HTML version of the parameter form.
When calling Oracle Reports from an Oracle Form using
RUN_PRODUCT and specifying PARAMFORM=HTML in the parameter list,
the Oracle Reports parameter form doesn't show the in the client
browser. If the Oracle Reports Cartridge/CGI is used and
PARAMFORM=HTML is specified, then the Oracle Reports parameter
form does appear in the client browser.
Oracle Forms does not use either the Cartridge or the CGI with
RUN_PRODUCT, and it's these thin clients that produce the HTML
Oracle Reports parameter form.
As a workaround to this problem, you can use either the
Cartridge or the CGI with the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT Oracle Forms
builtin. This does require either the Oracle Reports Cartrige
or the CGI to be installed. Neither of these are necessary if
the parameter form isn't required.
INSTRUCTIONS:
The following items need to be installed:
1. Oracle Reports Multi-tier Server.
2. Oracle Reports Web Cartridge
or
Oracle Reports Web CGI.
Here is a typical URL that can be specified in a browser
to run a report using Oracle Reports Cartridge implementation:
http://your_webserver/r30ows?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+
destype=cache+desformat=html+userid=scott/tiger@mydb+paramform=ht
ml
For CGI implementation:
http://your_webserver/your_vir_cgi_dir/r30cgi32.exe?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+destype=cache+desformat=html
userid=scott/tiger@mydbparamform=html
The Oracle Reports parameter form now is shown. This can be
used with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT issuing the request to execute the
report to the Oracle Reports Multi-Tier Server instead of using
RUN_PRODUCT.
The following code may be added to a program unit, which then
issues the request to run the report:
IF get_application_property(user_interface) = 'WEB' then
/* Use Cartridge configuration with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT. */
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://your_webserver/r30ows?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+destype=cache+desformat=html
userid=scott/tiger@mydbparamform=html', '_self');
/* OR for CGI configuration. */
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
('http://your_webserver/your_vir_cgi_dir/r30cgi32.exe?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+destype=cache+desformat=html
userid=scott/tiger@mydbparamform=html', '_self');
ELSE
/* use RUN_PRODUCT for client-server with PARAMFORM=Yes. */
Add_Parameter(plid, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'YES');
RUN_PRODUCT
(REPORTS,'emp_30.rep',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,plid);
END;

Parameter Form in Oracle Report!!

Dear Oracle Users' Group:
I have problem with "Parameter Form" in Oracle Report.
The Report that I created has the SQL:
"SELECT A.FIELD1, A.FIELD2
FROM MYDATABASE.MYTABLE A
WHERE
A.FIELD1 = :P_1";
When the report is run, it asks for the parameter
and generates the report based on the runtime
parameter. Works perfect on Oracle8i database's
Report front end.
The PROPERTY PALETTE for the FIELD (Field that
takes the runtime parameter) is:
====================
General Information
Name: PF_P_1
Comments:
Parameter Form Field
Source: P_1
Parameter
Datatype: Character
Width: 40
Initial Value:
Validation Trigger:
List of Values:
(For the list of values, I have put the SQL:
"SELECT DISTINCT A.FIELD1 from
MYDATABASE.MYTABLE A", Also I had
tried with list of fixed values like A, B, C)
Web Setting
Additional Attributes (HTML):
================
But the report does NOT work when called from the Web.
(This is only because of the problem with this Parameter
Form in my report. If I get rid of the parameter form by
changing the last line of my SQL to: "A.FIELD1 = 'Chicago'",
it works fine from the Web).
When accessed the report from the Web, the error I get
is:
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job has terminated with this error.
Reports Server Replies:
REP-0788: Warning: The value of restricted LOV parameter P_1 is not among the selectable values.
I do not know what is the error with this simplest Parameter Form based Report!!
In the Property Palette (above) of the Field, there was a field named "Additional Attributes (HTML)"
under "Web Setting" heading.
Do I need to write something there!!
Please help!!
thanks.

Hi, Kimmy
Try: &paramform=yes]http://webserver.com:80/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=repserver&report=rep1&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&destype=cache&desformat=htmlcss&paramform=yes
I've also sent you an email about key maps.
Enjoy! Web Reporting is a great feature.

Parameter Form look & Fee changed after upgrading to the Oracle Reports 11g

Hi All,
We are using Oracle Database 11g, with Oracle Forms and Reports 11g.
We are in the process of migration our customized application from Oracle Forms 6i to Oracle Forms 11g, during migration we have faced a problem regarding the look and feel of reports parameter form,
We have almost 700 reports and 300 out of them are calling with report parameter form = yes,
When we call any report that is using Report Parameter Form, we have found that the look and feel completely changed, although it is acceptable for us as we have standardized the parameter form, with default layout, but the only problem is that, we are unable to fixed the length of any field having LOV, i.e. we have a field, that is showing Department Name, having Select DeptId, DeptName from Departments order by 1 and we have set the Hide First Column, when we call the report the length of this field systematically increased according to the biggest Department Name (Department Name having the highest number for characters), we want to fix the length of every parameter to a certain size,
Would gurus please advice?
Thanks,
Hassan

Hi,
I have seen this problem.
I assume that Apex 4 do not give fxx name to items anymore in order where columns are in query.
This is one of reasons why we have not been yet able to upgrade.
And it seems this same problem exists in Apex 4.1 on apex.oracle.com

set_report_object_property(roRepid,report_other,sParms||' paramform=yes');
set_report_object_property(roRepid,REPORT_SERVER,sReportServer);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(roRepid);
sJob := SUBSTR(v_rep,LENGTH(sReportServer)+2);   --
But there is a parameter form is shown but when i click submmit query the,,,,there is

hope this helpful for you.

How to use LIKE function with a parameter in Oracle REPORT builder??

how could i use parameter inside a LIKE function in Oracle reports builder?
it works in SQL plus, but not in report builder!!
Example:
select code,desc from item_master where desc
like '%&give_desc%'; ---works in SQL
like '%:give_desc%' ---doesn't work in report builder!!

Hi Renil,
You will need to use the wildcard character (%) and the concatenation character (||) to join to your user parameter.
i.e. like '%'||:give_desc||'%'

text_io.fclose(infile);
v_employee_id := replace(rtrim(v_employee_id),' ',',');
:p_employee_param := 'and employee_id in ('| |v_employee_id| |')';
/* you can use either 'where employee_id in ('| |v_employee_id| |')' or

Lexical Parameter in Oracle Reports . . .

Hi all,
I am trying to pass a value to a query in oracle reports . . .
the use of the parameter is to add 2 additional columns to an existing query, if a bind parameter is set to 'Yes' else the parameter carries a value NULL;
Here is the code I have written in After Parameter Form:
if :P_ROLL_DETAIL_PRN='Yes' then
:P_CUSTOM_CODE:=NULL;
:P_CUSTOM_CODE:=:P_CUSTOM_CODE||'wdd.LOT_NUMBER' ||','||'wdd.SUBLOT_NUMBER';
else
:P_CUSTOM_CODE:='';
end if;
P_Roll_detail is the bind parameter . . and P_CUSTOM_CODE is the Lexical Parameter . ..
It works for value 'No' of P_ROLL_DETAIL .. . but for Value 'Yes' I get an error . . .
REP-0499: Column '' selected by the query is incompatible with report defination
Kindly help...
Regards
Jagan

Lexical parameters can not be used to change the number of selected columns. Consider selecting max number of columns always, but populating last two columns with either NULL values or table columns based on the parameter. Also, manipulations can be done in the layout model using format triggers.

Pass parameter value from oracle reports to HTML

Hi,
Can anybody tell me if i can pass oracle reports6i parameter value to HTML.
Any ideas/suggestions would be helpful
Thanks
KAvitha

Kavitha,
I didnt quite understand your question. Do you mean you want to use the report parameter form and pass the values entered there to an html form where you will display the output based on the parameters entered by the user ?
If so, No. Not to the best of my knowledge. You can pass parameters from an html form to reports though, if this is what you are looking for.

Al
