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"

I just found out that IE 6 and IE 7 do not work. However, Firefox does work.

Alternatives to long parameter lists when calling methods

I've heard you shouldn't have more than 3 parameters when calling methods. What are the alternatives to long parameter lists when calling methods? Compounding parameters into new inner classes, declaring them as member fields? Which one is preferable?

Okay, I get it. But since it's late in the day, I'll share my additional wandering thoughts. And I'll just go ahead and preemptively slap myself for doing so. Ouch! There. So the rules are more like this:
1) Only use setters if the values in question are meant to be part of the state of an object.
2) In general, don't let external entities directly set the state of an object.
Which can be combined into:
1) In general, never use setters.
Which could be reworded to:
1) Only use setters in non-general situations.
Or:
1) Only use setters when setters are a good solution...which isn't very often...generally speaking...
Or if I were to infer when it's a good solution:
1) Only use a setter when it is useful to the caller and has no significant negative effects on the operation of the object nor the maintainability, size, or performance of the class...generally speaking...
Actually, you might just infer from here forward that the "generally speaking" is implicit to every rule, and is essentially the "There is an exception to every rule" rule. Which is an interesting rule because it can be applied to itself, resulting in a paradox...generally speaking...but I digress.
And then translated back to the original topic:
1) You can use a setter instead of a constructor argument so long as the value isn't needed at time of construction (or a default value will suffice) and it is useful for the caller to be able to use the setter and using the setter has no significant negative effects on the operation of the object nor the maintainability, size, or performance of the class.
But this won't quite cut it either. With the input of others, we could eventually devise a very concise rule, but it will end up being so long that on one will ever read it...making it an ideal candidate to be included in a legal document. Which will eventually find it's way into a very long scroll pane with a check box at the end exclaiming that you read the document, at which you will not be able to continue unless you check the check box...at which point, what do you do? After all, you are not a liar...generally speaking...
In summary, you could potentially use setters in some limited cases, but in the general sense, that's more of an option than a recommendation. :-)

Run Oracle reports from the FORM builder

Hello All,
We have Oracle Form base application running on the window OS.
(Form version is 9.0.4.1.0)
Our Database is installed on Linux box (DB version: 10.1.0.3.0)
I need to run different Oracle reports from the form based application or from the form builder. (Report Builder 9.0.4.1.0)
Any feed back will be appreciated.
Regards,
D

try this
Run_product(REPORTS,' <path to the report>', ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM,' ',NULL);
in some event ( whichever event you want your report to show up)

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,
Manish

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

Report runs OK through concurrent program, but not when called through URL

We have a custom 6i report developed that works successfully 100% of the time when run through a concurrent program.
We are now attempting to integrate this into an OAF application. To do this, we build the necessary call to the reports server by reading different profile options, etc and come up with a URL like this:
http://ebsd777.xxxxx.com:8000/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?d777_APPS+report=XXMFG_ESPEC_REPORT.rdf+P_SPEC_ID=43+DESFORMAT=PDF
This report works 90% of the time when called like this, but the other 10%, we get the following error:
"Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.
Incorrect usage."
Trying to find what the differences are between the reports that work and those that don't - found that reports which fail seem to extend out further to the right than the reports that do work. But, these reports still fit on standard letter paper in landscape format - as we can verify through the concurrent program call.
Is there some sort of report server setting or parameter which we can change to get this to work when called through the reports server URL?
Any thoughts would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Craig

Hi,
Please post the application release along with the database version and OS.
But when i call the same program through the pl/sql executable of another concurrent program , it does not print the pdf output by defaultHow do you call the program? What is the value of the number of copies profile option?
Please see if these docs help.

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,
INITCAP(RELIEF) RELIEF,INITCAP(EXTENT) EXTENT,
DECREE_DATE,INITCAP(STATUS) STATUS,INITCAP( LOCATION) LOCATION,
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

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

Cannot remove report parameter list

I want to use a form to control all my report parameters and pass to report thru a run_product function.
However, I found that I cannot remove the default parameter list in report program. Every time the parameter list will prompt out. How can I remove the parameter list in report and it will never prompt out when I run that report?

Hi Kane,
You can hide the paramform by using an extra parameter in the paramlist you are filling in your form.
Use:
add_parameter(<parameter_list_id>, 'PARAMFORM', text_parameter, 'NO');
Hope this helps

Oracle Reports -- printing 1/3 the way down the second page.

I modifying an Oracle Report that outputs a rtf-formmated word doc. When things go to the second page (because things on the first page have fully occupied the first page), they always appear 1/3 down the page. I would like them to be close to the top of the page as possible. Does anybody have any suggestions or ideas on how this should work?
thanks
Dan

Report Displays in Viewer but Web Print produces blank pages

I am using VS 2008 w CR 2008 SP2 in a web application deployed on Win2008.
I have set the report to display all pages so that the users can hit the print button on their browser (IE7). When the report is shown in the report viewer it looks perfect. When the print button on the browser is used blank pages with the url on top/bottom of each page print, but there is no report.
If I use the print preview and turn on the background layers, I can see that the report background is on two and half pages, which would be corect; but there is no report text or data.
Any ideas?

Hello,
If you page through the report in the viewer is all the data visible?
Have you handled the postback event so that the report is in session before you print?
Look at the samples in the Crystal Reports Visual Studio .NET [Samples|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/sdklibrary?rid=/library/uuid/d0bf8496-2a81-2b10-95ac-b1f48d5b63f5]. Go to the "ReportDocument_Object_Model_Tutorials" and look at the "RDObjMod_Session" sample.
There are also different methods for printing from the web. Printing from the Print control on the viewer downloads an ActiveX print control to the local system. The user needs to have Administrator rights for it to install and register. For information on web printing options look at the article[ "Printing Web based reports with Crystal Reports for Visual Studio .NET"|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/600c24a3-ab1d-2b10-1bb4-c50562e353cb].

Opening a new URL, a blank page appears with 2 messages on the top left and right corner of the window: "Advertise here" and "Skip this ad" and it will not go to the requested site until I push "Skip this ad"

It would be nice to have the possibility to attach a print screen or something to give you a better idea what is happening and how it looks like.
Anyway, what I described above is accurate:
- the address bar shows the link where I wish to go
- but the page loaded is blank with these 2 hyperlink messages ("Advertise here" in the top left corner, and "Skip this ad" in the top right corner).
I would like to emphasize that it does not have to do with the requested URL: it does the same thing with all sites, all the time.

For me is the same, it's yet 6 months.
the blank page apears for the first 20-30 of the day's navigation, then no more.
For example: If I open firefox at 9 a.m., it appears until 9.30 more or less. If i surf the web until mignight, at 00.01 a.m. this page starts bugging me.
I have yust to click on the link "skip this ad" to return to the desired web page.
Using Adblockplus and NoScript plug-ins had sadly no effect.
I've read somewere that the ploblem should be an f**** adware called "directCPV"., and that the solution is toremove an .exe file called Directcpv.exe or somewhat else, but in my pc I haven't found any of those linked to this adware.
I tried a full system scan with an antivirus (McAfee), with Malwarebytes, Ad-Aware, ATF cleaner, Spybot, Exterminate-it but NO RESULTS.
I tried to do this in safe mode too.
No way cleaning the cache, temp files, cookies etc.
finally I tried to uninstall Firefox (cleaning all registry entry too) and reinstall it, but the problem is still there.
The only cure seems to be formatting the HD, but it's very last chance.
If someone have an idea, please post it here.

Report Output in PDF using htmldb_example.xslt yields blank page; commas

I am able to generate a PDF file from a given region using FOP (Formatting Objects Processor). The file that is produced in the Adobe reader produces a nice report with a header and footer region. However, there is always a blank page (containing the header and footer information only). Also, the report produced contains mixed data (text, dates MM-MON-RR and numbers (1.00 3.00 named Hours and Days) and totals. For certain reports, the total lines for the 2 number columns could get into the thousands (1,996.54 284.52). When the comma in the number is introduced, the total row will no longer align with the detail rows.
I know that htmldb_example.xslt is only an example, but has anybody experienced this behavior?
Of note, the example file "hr_employees.pdf" that is downloaded from Oracle also has a blank page.

Code changed in htmldb_example.xslt to fix comma/number format and extra page:

<fo:block font-size="8pt">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=".=translate(.,translate(.,'0123456789+-,.',''),'')">
<xsl:attribute name="text-align">end</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="string(number(.))='NaN'">
<xsl:attribute name="text-align">start</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:attribute name="text-align">end</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</fo:block
Page break code, before:
<fo:table break-after="page" font-family="Helvetica">
after, (no extra page):
