Oracle Reports doesn't show parameter form running on middle tier

I have a report that uses the parameter form. When I run it on the middle tier the report runs but without first displaying the parameter form. I am wondering if anyone can help me figure out how to get the parameter form to show when running on the middle tier. It is using OAS 9i as the application server.

Wesley,
You have to give PARAMFORM = YES if you are running through servlet
Thanks

Show parameter form and then print directly to client printer

I have few reports that show parameter form for user entry. After the user enters the parameter and hits Submit query, the report should automatically get printed on the client's default printer. I tried to use ORARRP but I could get that to work only for reports do not open parameter form before going directly to the printer. Can someone please guide me how to achieve this?
Thanks!

I would like it to go to the client PCs default printer. Can you please tell me how do I do that?

System Tray Program doesn't show a form from the menu

public SysTrayApp()
ContextMenu TrayMenu = new ContextMenu();
TrayMenu.MenuItems.Add("Exit", OnExit);
TrayMenu.MenuItems.Add("Send Mail", SendMail);
TrayMenu.MenuItems.Add("Add Exception", AddException);
TrayIcon.Icon = new Icon(SystemIcons.Application, 40, 40);
TrayIcon.Text = "RJC Server Services";
TrayIcon.ContextMenu = TrayMenu;
TrayIcon.Visible = true;
NewTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(5 * 60 * 1000);
NewTimer.Elapsed += NewTimer_Elapsed;
NewTimer.Start();
void AddException(Object sender, EventArgs e)
ExceptionList ExceptionForm = new ExceptionList();
ExceptionForm.ShowDialog();
This is the code I am trying to use to show a instance of the Exception form. My application is a system tray application, when right clicked it shows menu items, however clicking the add exception menu item doesn't show the form? I have also tried ExceptionForm.Show()
to no avail. Any ideas?

figured it out: ExceptionForm.Visible = true;
Also I had a long running process on form load that took a while to execute before the form was shown.

thank's

If this is a 'paper' report then =yes has always worked for me as long you have parameters declared in the report.
Description Use PARAMFORM to specify whether to display the Runtime Parameter
Form when you execute a report through CGI or a servlet. PARAMFORM is used only to
supply parameters to paper layout reports, not JSP-based Web reports.
Syntax PARAMFORM=YES|NO|HTML
Values
■ YES Display the Parameter Form.
■ NO Do not display the Parameter Form.
■ HTML Display the Parameter Form in HTML format.

Showing Parameter form in web browser

I have created a parameter form which contains some restricted List of values need to be choosed by the user before printing the report.
I done this by putting the keyword ParamForm=Yes in the URL. The parameter form shows with all the parameter fields and the list of values in HTML format together with two buttons : SUBMIT QUERY and RESET which is generated by the report. After all the values has been entered, the SUBMIT QUERY button was press the the report server return an error:
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Key "" is unrecognized. Possible causes: bad URL syntax; key in URL was not found in the key map file
Why this will happen?

Hi,
No, I don't think is the problem with the cgicmd file. This problem will only occured when I calling the report paramater form by putting the key PARAMFORM=YES IN in the URL.
But if I by-pass the parameter form by puttinh the key PARAFORM=NO and include all the parameters needed in the URL, the report server can map the key and run the report successfully!
I think the problem is the submit Query button which was generated automatically by the report. How does the submit Query button works?
For eg. I type the report URL with the key that I have created in the cgicmd file :
http://webHost:webPort/cgi-bin/RWcgi60?Key1
and inside the cgicmd.dat file is like this:
Key1: report=Report.rdf userid=eb/eb@eagledb server=Rep60_EAGLEW2K PARAMFORM=YES destype=cache desformat=htmlcss
then, the report server will automactically generate a parameter form in HTML format together with the SUBMIT QUERY button and RESET button to allow user to enter the parameters. Once the parameters has been entered, and the button SUBMIT QUERY button being pressed, the report will return this error.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Without Showing Parameter Form !!!!!!!

To who may concern,,,,
I have designed an oracle form and a button to print the oracle report. Is there possible to avoid showing the parameter form and the button directly print the report.
A piece of source code is appreciated.
Thank's in advance
Best regards

pass a parameter to report
PARAMFORM=NO
this will stop the parameter form from showing.
To have the report directly printed use
DESFORMAT=PRINTER.
Check the online help for information about how to pass parameters from forms to reports.

Profit Center Report doesn't show data

Dear Experts,
I've posted some data thru FB50 in FI, with different cost center assignment 1201 and 1202. Both cost centers are assigned to profit centers, YB110 and YB120 respectively in master data.
Then, I tried to run a profit center report, S_ALR_87013326 from Profit Center Accounting (PCA) module but doesn't show any data.
Do I need to do any period-end processing in order to get the data out from PCA report?
By the way, the selection required for plan version, I just keyed in '0'. Not sure of the number, where to find the plan version as I didn't create any plan before this.
regards,
Abraham

Hi
If you see the screen shot I attached, it has the text "(new)" against the Folder name...
All new gl reports are under such a folder to differentiate... You cant deactivate any reports from the Standard Menu... You can just control it by authrization....
You can also ask your BASIS guy to display only the authorized trans on the user screen so that they are not able to see the std set of transactions

Reports 10g problem: Before parameter form trigger(BPFT) problem

In report bilder there is no problem - I get parameter form wit all the parameters, I initialized in BPFT
function BeforePForm return boolean is
s_date date;
begin
s_date := Trunc(SYSDATE);
if :PAR_TEM_OD is null then
     :PAR_TEM_OD := '1';
end if;
if :PAR_TEM_DO is null then
     :PAR_TEM_DO := '9';
end if;
if :PAR_DAT_OD is null then
     :PAR_DAT_OD := s_date ;
end if;
if :PAR_DAT_Do is null then
     :PAR_DAT_Do := s_date ;
end if;
return (TRUE);
end;
PAR_DAT_... is data type DATE wit input mask DD.MM.YYYY.
REPORT crashes when I run it from forms - no parameter form is displayed. When I initialize only CHAR PARAMETERS IN BPFT then I get result - parameter form is displayed. . The problem is when I want to initailize DATE parameters.
Any idea?

Why are you using srw.do_sql here? You are just performing some sql and pl/sql statements here. This is an explanation of do_sql in the Report Builder Help:
"Since you cannot perform *DDL statements* in PL/SQL, the SRW.DO_SQL packaged procedure is especially useful for performing them within Report Builder, instead of via a user exit."
So, your code would simply be:
function BeforePForm return boolean is
segment2 varchar2(10);
begin
select segment1
into segment2
from xxmssl_po_headers_all
where rownum<2;
... etc. ...
end;

Web Report not working with parameter form

Hi,
I have a report which has got a parameter form. This report is
running fine in client/server environment. But when I deploy the
same report on web (CGI) using PARAMFORM=YES, I am getting the
parameter form and after pressing the SUBMIT button I am getting
a blank report under the following two cases even though I have
data for that query:
CASE1: <input type="hidden" name="desformat" value="html">
then I am getting the report with no data retrieved.
CASE2: <input type="hidden" name="desformat" value="pdf">
then I am getting completely blank report (no logo, no column
titles, etc.)
See the HTML code below. Remember, the same thing is running
fine in client/server environment. Moreover, if I make a HTML-
coded form for the report then everything on the client's
browser is running fine. But this is not what we want, 'coz we
are running the "BEFORE PARAMETER FORM" trigger in the report.
So, should I conclude that web-reports does not work with the
parameter forms?? Is it a bug???

No pal, that's not the problem. The problem lies with the
"BEFORE PARAMETER FORM" report trigger on the web. Check this
out on ur report server and u will understand my problem.

Outlook 2007 doesn't show icloud service running. Does anyone know what the dll for this service is so it can be manually added to outlook?

Outlook 2007 doesn't show the icloud service running in Windows 7 within outlook. Does anyone know what the dll for this service is so it can be manually added to outlook? I've installed the icloud control panel app and set it up to synch everything, but after initially downloading my icloud calendar, it won't process any calendar updates (new entries made on either iphone 4 on ios 5 or outlook).
So since the control panel installed, but the service doesn't show running in outlooks "trust center" add-ins list, anyone know the actual dll file it would point to so I can see if I can add it the hard way?

I had the same issue and figured it out. First you have to start Outook as administrator. To do this, shift and right-click on outlook and click run as administrator. Next you need to enable Hard-disabled add-ins:
Hard-Disabled Add-Ins
Hard disabling can occur when an add-in causes the application to close unexpectedly. It might also occur on your development computer if you stop the debugger while the Startup event handler in your add-in is executing.
To re-enable an add-in
In the application, click the File tab.
Click the ApplicationName Options button.
In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Disabled Application Add-ins list. The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
In the Manage box, click Disabled Items, and then click Go.
Select the add-in and click Enable.
Click Close.
Then you need to activate it.
To re-enable an add-in
In the application, click the File tab.
Click the ApplicationName Options button.
In the categories pane, click Add-ins.
In the details pane, verify that the add-in appears in the Inactive Application Add-ins list. The Name column specifies the name of the assembly, and the Location column specifies the full path of the application manifest.
In the Manage box, click COM Add-ins, and then click Go.
In the COM Add-Ins dialog box, select the check box next to the disabled add-in.
Click OK.

Installed Oracle reports 6i and 9.04 form home

I had Oracle Forms 4.5. & Report 3.1. in my old system (windows NT).
My goal is to upgrade Oracle Forms & Reports onto 10g DS.
I used windows XP for this purpose.
I have successfully ungraded Oracle Forms to 10g.
First I installed Forms 6i. (applied latest patches)
I opened all forms from the 4.5 into 6i and make its work.
I have installed Oracle Forms 10g in another/Separate Oracle Home & applied
latest patches.They have upgraded.
Now I need to do same process for Oracle Report.
So I start install Oracle Reports 6i.
My goal is to install Oracle Reports in separate Oracle Home.
But It does not ask any directory.
And its starts installing under Oracle Forms (9.0.4) Oracle Home.
I was so late to stop installation.
Now I am not able to use Oracle Forms 10g.

hello,
i am afraid you destroyed your installation, or at least messed it up.
i would suggest you install 6i first, and then install 10g (9.0.4) that way you can install 10g in a separate home. not sure if the 6i installer was multi-home capable.
thanks,
ph.
