Parameter Form Fields Sizing

So here's a weird problem, and I know I've solved it before a few years ago. Basically when our reports parameter form renders the html table columns are all being sized to like 60,000, which is causing the parameter form to render as a huge website (involving lots of scrolling to get to each subsequent parameter). When running it locally or on one of our other servers its not a problem.
I vaguely remember there being a configuration file under Oracle Forms that I corrected to fix this, however I can't seem to find what I need to fix. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Try to set :
REPORTS_DEFAULT_PIXEL_SIZE=80 ; export REPORTS_DEFAULT_PIXEL_SIZE
in the file reports.sh and restart the Reports Server

How to Change the display format of Parameter form in HTML

I have created a parameter form to allow user to choose the parameter values before printing the report. The parameter which will display in the web-browser has its own predefined format. How am i going to change this format? eg. changing the Background color, table background color, put in some pictures, set the alignment of the text and fields....
Now I am able to change the header and footer. I can put in the company logo in the header by changing the report escape - Before form value and the footer in the report escape - after form value. How about the body which all the boilet text and fields will be display here? I need to change the alignment, the table background color and the text style and format also... where should i change this?
Thanks

Reports only provides limited formatting for the parameter form. In your case, you seem to need to take over greater control of the parameter form and you're halfway there.
You've noted that you can control the header & footer values, what you need to do is extend those escapes to render the complete parameter form and remove everything from the actual reports parameter form. ie: Remove the labels/parameter form fields and render these directly in the HTML in the before parameter HTML escape. This allows you to insert any HTML you want - you probably want to start with the Reports generated HTML and move it into Frontpage to edit to your required format.
What you are doing in this case is still using Reports url/submit mechanism and parameter form validation but bypassing Reports rendering of the parameter form.

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.

Using national characters in Reports Parameter Form

Hi,
I have Reports Server 11gR1. When I specify paramform=yes when running report, I get Parameters Form. If I specifiy any national character in parameter form field, it is not send to Reports Server. Instead of my character, question mark (?) is send to reports server and that lead to wrong result.
Is there any way I can use national characters in Parameter Form in Reports Server?

Mapping a parameter to the form field (OIM 11g)

Hello, people!
How can I get an information from a created form field?
In more details: I have to assign a manual creating of a resource to a concrete group of users. So I made a form that contains a field named "Admin Group", made a process for this form that contains a manual task "manual create user", in assignment tab of this task I'm using a task assignment adapter. This adapter has one input parameter - Group name using what I want to find a group key. So the problem is in mapping this parameter. I expected to find my "Admin Group" field and map to it, but i didn't find that. How can I get information from this field?
Regards
Anton Litvin

I think you have created Object Form. Are you seeing Object Data while mapping.
Create one process form. Populate Process Form Field using Data Flow under Process Definition.
While mapping you'll see Process data to map with your Admin Group.
Sorry don't know how they have handled in OIM 11g... Above is for 10g.

Values in one field based on another field in the paper parameter form.....

Hi All,
I have two fields in the parameter form. One named 'employee number' and the other named 'document number'. Now, there are multiple document numbers for every employee. I'd like the document numbers to be displayed automatically as an LOV or would like to give the user some help when the employee number is entered manually. Please let me know if this is possible in Oracle reports. I read somewhere that I'll have to call the values from the form. if that is the case. then please let me know how to go about it....
Regards,
Shri

Hi Hari,
Considering both Market Segment and Application fields are dropdown,
1) define an event for the first dropdown in the get_p method ie., Market Segment field
2) In the get_v method of the second dropdown get the value of hte 1st dropdown and filter your field accordingly
Note: The reason for defining an event in (1) is just to do a server submit.. its actually act as a dummy event if you dont want to handle your logic here
Hope this was helpful.

Value to be assigned to a parameter field (web report parameter form)

In a Oracle 10g report In parameter form we have DESTYPE and DESNAME. In database we have PRINTERNAME. we are using run_product to open the report. Now we are in the url
http://192.168.178.29:7779/reports/rwservlet/getjobid2214?server=rep_inexpas02_OracleFRSR2
Parameter form:
When we change the value of DESTYPE to Printer I want assign printername in DESNAME field. Other wise DESNAME should be blank. Is there any trigger like when change field of DESTYPE in parameter form (web) assign some value to DESNAME. (AFTER PARAMETER FORM AND BEFORE REPORT ARE NOT SOLVING THE PURPOSE)

Is it correct taht you use forms to invoke the report? If so, a possible solution is to "create" your own parameter-form in forms itself, where you can do such validations and logic as you need. Then run the report without parameter-form.

How tochange the description ofa field inthe parameter form query generator

I have a parameter form which is fetching the details from the Location table.
/* Select From [OLCT] T4 */
Declare @ToLoc Varchar(300)
/Where/
Set @ToLoc = /* T4.Location*/ '[%4]'
when i execute the parameter form Query selection criteria displayed is
Name
OLCT table the description of the field location is Name i want to change the description to location
Please Help

Thanks for the reply , It does not help.
If meant the selection box when I run query to input values
for example
/* Select From [OINV] T1 */
Declare @FromDate Datetime
/Where/
Set @FromDate = /* T1.DocDate*/ '[%1]'
/* Select From [OINV] T2 */
Declare @ToDate Datetime
/Where/
Set @ToDate = /* T2.DocDate*/ '[%2]'
/* Select From [OLCT] T3 */
Declare @FromLoc Varchar(300)
/Where/
Set @FromLoc = /* T3.Location*/ '[%3]'
/* Select From [OLCT] T4 */
Declare @ToLoc Varchar(300)
/Where/
Set @ToLoc = /* T4.Location*/ '[%4]'
/* Select From [OLCT] T5 */
Declare @Country Varchar(300)
/Where/
Set @Country = /* T5.Country*/ '[%5]'
/* Select From [OLCT] T6 */
Declare @State Varchar(300)
/Where/
Set @State = /* T6.state*/ '[%6]'
Exec [SAP_SP_DB]..[NABC_TaxReport] 'SAP2007B','Inflow',@FromDate,@ToDate,@FromLoc,@ToLoc,@country,@state
In the above query I have from and To Location which displays as Name in the selection box

Null values not displaying in the LOV on the parameter form.

My report works perfect while in Oracle Reports 10g, however when I move it to our menu (Oracle Forms 10g) it does not display the null in the LOV on the parameter form.
This report allows the the user to select by inspector or district or everyone for certain dates.
Ex: I have 4 parameter fields. The user must enter the start & end dates and either the Inspector or the district or leave the inspector or district null to run for everyone.
The district LOV is :
select dnr_section_code, description from dnr_section_code where dnr_section_code in ('29', '38','52')
UNION
select null, 'All' from dual
order by 2 asc ;
The inspector LOV is:
select null , 'All' from dual
UNION
select person_seq, first_name||' '||last_name inspector from vw_eng_inspectors
order by 2 asc
In my Data Model query I use the :
My select
from tables
where clause
+
----by inspector
and (prod_fac_inspections.person_seq_inspector =
nvl(:inspector,prod_fac_inspections.person_seq_inspector))
---by district
and
(d.dnr_section_code = nvl(:district,d.dnr_section_code)
and d.person_seq = prod_fac_inspections.person_seq_inspector)
Again, it works perfect in Reports! It eliminates having 3 reports on the menu. This one report gives the user the option of selecting dynamic parameters.
Also, I got so frustrated, that I went a different route of using a default where.
I am stuck with the error of ORA:00933 SQL command not ended properly
1=1
I set the initial value to 1=1 and it does not like it.
I am stuck!

I'm not sure I understand the probelm.
A progress bar control only displays numeric values. When do you mean by "unassigned values"? What would you expect to be presented?

Report Parameter form not showing list of values in Report svr

I was using reports 6i where I used to have list box in report parameter form. I now converted recompiled my reports in 10g and when I run I am not geting the list of values. I get the values as a list below the field
ex.
ITEM :___________
box,book,pencil,rubber,
dvd,floppy...
previously it was coming as a list in the item field
thanks

Hello,
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/topics/htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs/rwwhthow/howto/params/pmp_creating_list_of_values.htm?tp=true
If you run the report from a Web browser and the list of values is unrestricted, the HTML Parameter Form will display a text field instead of a combo box, and a list of static values that you can copy and paste into the text field.

Parameter form which generates a report in delimited format

Hello , I have a parameter form which calls a report in delimited format.
In the RUN_REPORT* (Function Body) in program units , I have made the following modifications :
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'DELIMITED');
I get a report in txt format . The problem is that when I convert my txt file to excel , I get the label of each row which repeats the number of records found ! I should have the label appearing once followed by the data . What can I do to make that possible please ?
or if I have a simple query e.g SELECT * FROM BANKS to generate in txt format . Can I write some code in PL/SQL to write the results of such a query in txt format?
Thanks
Edited by: twinklin_girl on Aug 28, 2009 3:53 AM

I think I got the solution !
I simply need to add the following in my run_report procedure :
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'*DelimitedData*');
I get the actual title of each field(as it is in the database) displayed once followed by all records . It's not a perfect solution but I think it will do for now.

JSP HTML parameter form to call report - Dependent drop down list

I have a report parameter form developed using HTML & JSP to call oracle reports6i.
First parameter "STATES", Second Parameter "CITY"
I have a master-detail relation betwen STATE & CITY table.
I want the parameter form drop down lists dependant. ie if the user chang STATE value in the first drop down, the second drop down list CITY shoud
change automatically.
Please help
Thanks
Vimal

Vimal,
This is not functionality that's available in the Reports generated parameter form. In order to do this you'll need to build the parameter form yourself as a true HTML form and code the javascript to link the fields.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Calling report from form and after parameter form trigger

Hi, I've also posted to this to the reports forum but because it works from Reports Builder it may be a forms issue which is why I'm x-posting. Apologies.
I have a report that creates a file, desname is set in the after parameter form trigger (it uses one of the parameter values).
The problem is file is not created using the path and filename set in the trigger, the file is created in the bin folder with the name account_by_service_type.txt (account_by_service_type.rdf is the report definition).
If the desname is set in the before parameter form AND a field with the source=desname is added to the parameter form then the file will be created with the correct path and name however it won't have the relevant parameter incorporated into the file name obviously.
I've noticed in other reports that where the desname is being set in the after parameter form that I've had to pass the desname from the form but obviously I cannot do that here either.
Am I missing something obvious?
Regards
Sean

Problem in reports6i parameter form customization

I am calling report developed under reports6i using rwservlet from j2ee web application. I was able to successfully customize the parameter form internal to report using Report Escapes properties, Before Form value and After Form value. I am using header.htm and footer.htm to render header and footer related html. I am able to use style sheet file also. Everything is working fine with this file. But when I try to repeat the same changes to another report (rdf), it is not taking the changes. No matter what I do, report is taking the settings from parameter form builder tool. When I run the report outside of web ie., from report builder, it is showing the parameter fields and labels I have made changes to, but when I run as web report it is taking the parameter fields and labels that report builder tool has. I am frustrated and do not understand, everything working fine with one report is not working with the other. Is that a bug? or am I missing something? Please help. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance,
Raju

Thanks Philipp for the response. Yes I verified whether server picking the changes. That's how I found its only picking from the parameter form builder. Whatever changes I made to the actual parameter form I was not seeing. But I was seeing whatever changes I made in the parameter form builder. I do not want to use parameter form builder wizard. It's kind of weird and that's why I do not see logic behind what's going on? I am wondering is it a bug in the reports developer tool. I am using oracle reports6i (Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3).
Thanks,
Raju

REP-3131: Parameter form boilerplate text cannot fit on the page

Dear members,

thanks

sandeep

When you add your new field into the parameter mask, please check, if the value is too
long for your parameter mask site. Make a double click on the master attributes of your
report in the object navigator and look at the size of the parameter mask window.
Make it bigger, if you want (vertically und horizontally size).
Check the length of the text of your parameter mask title, too.
