Parameter Form in OAS and Web, Paper Report Output

Hello,
In the Reports Builder 10g I have this Parameter Form. It starts before a paperreport is generated (with props, LOV and etc.)
If I put my rdf in the OracleAS i can call the report trough the browser, but there Is no parameter window. How can I edit the parameters after
calling the report?
One more question:
how can I say the OAS that he should generate an pdf out of my rdf?
thanks
Paul
ps: if you refer to documentation please give the pagenumber ore sth.

make rdf out of pdf...

Hello,
If you want to display the PDF in your browser, use the parameters :
DESTYPE=CACHE and DESFORMAT=PDF in the URL :
Example :
http://myserver.mycompany.com/reports/rwservlet?server=myrepserver&report=myreport&destype=cache&desformat=pdf&userid=scott/tiger@mydb
If you use another value for DESTYPE, (DESTYPE=FILE for example) , the message :
"Oracle Reports Job-Status Successfully run"
will be returned and the output stored in the filename specified by DESNAME .
You can retrieve the PDF file using the showjobs page :
http://myserver.mycompany.com/reports/rwservlet/showjobs?server=myrepserver

Forms 10g, OAS and Web Services.... help!

Hello,
We're in the middle of a project that was originally supposed to be a (simple :D) upgrade of an existing Forms 6i application to a Forms 10g application.
During the course of the project we have encountered various problems with the older forms (shakes fist at Headstart code...) and as a side effect have had to upgrade our OAS to 10.1.2.0 (10gR2). That's fine, however we have recently been looking into replacing the C++ code that the old application uses to connect to SAP with a new Web Services system, using the SAP Adapter and WSDLs and BPEL and all the rest of it (steep learning curve).
In setting that up it seems it would be advisable for us to upgrade to 10.1.3.x (or "get a headache" said Oracle Support...) However, I now read (in an article from July last year) that Forms and Reports are not supported in 10.1.3.x...
So, do we ask our DBAs to go ahead and install the SOA suite 10.1.3.x? And if so, do I need to do something else to support our !0gR2 forms? Or will they just work? Can we do a "clean" install of 10.1.3.x or do we upgrade the existing 10.1.2.0 system....? Colour me confused.
Help!
Thanks in advance
Dan

You are correct, Forms 10gR2 is the latest and is not available on the 10.1.3 stack. I am also not sure if you are talking about writing web services or just consuming them. However you have 2 main options.
you can install 10.1.2 and use 10.1.2 for Forms and use 10.1.2 for your web services - this should work ok but of course you are "handicapped" by only being able to use 10.1.2 features of BPEL and WS.
Next option, you can install 10.1.2 for running Forms and run a separate 10.1.3 for running BPEL and SOA suite - nothing wrong with that. And if you write a web service and deploy to 10.1.3 you can call that from Forms.
Example of calling an external web service from Forms

http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/forms_modernization.html - calling a BPEL process is just like calling a web services

Migrating HFR and Web Analysis Reports and Documents

Dear All,
Is there any way I can migrate HFR and Web Analysis Reports and Documents from test environments to production instead of re-creating reports?
Thanks,
ioGGo.

For HFR reports,
- If you want to do a bulk export, then choose File->Export & select multiple reports & save to a .zip file when prompted. In this case, reports' folder hierarchy is maintained the same as in source.
- If you want to do a selective export, select the folder(where your report is present) from the (left)navigation pane. Then choose File->Export, select the report & save to a .des file when prompted.
For WAS reports,
you may export each report definition from File -> Export. I believe- it'd let you save as .apt file.
However, for both type of reports, you need to ensure the respective database connection file(s) are already present before you import the reports/documents in your prod. environment.

Parameter Value passing issue to Web i report from Design Studio APP

Hi all,
I am trying to pass values to 2 parameters in a web I report called DIM1_REPORT and DIM2_REPORT. The values with space for example, Computer Sciences Corporation is getting passed as Computer\Sciences\Corporation Looks like the space is getting replaced with \ and as the values doesn't match the database values, no results are being retrieved. I tried using Convert.urlEncode function as well. But no luck still having same issue. Below is the URL,
"http://servername:8080/BOE/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sIDType=CUID&iDocID=AWD5NloJ4rVKoi2Y8m89GY0"+
"&lsMDIM1_REPORT=" + GLOBAL_SCRIPTS_1.DIM1_FILTER_SCRIPT() +
"&lsMDIM2_REPORT=" + GLOBAL_SCRIPTS_1.DIM2_FILTER_SCRIPT()
Has any one faced this issue and have a solution for this? Appreciate any help on this
Thanks
Nithin

Hi Mustafa,
Thanks for the response.
I tried to replace the \ with %20 using the following code
Convert.replaceAll(GLOBAL_SCRIPTS_1.DIM1_FILTER_SCRIPT(), "\ ", "%20");
But getting error in the script editor saying
I think \ is causing this issue. If I use any other character other than \ in search expression its not throwing any error in script editor. Any idea is \ considered as delimiter/break in design studio?
Any other way to fix this issue in design studio?
Thanks,
Nithin

FR and Web Analysis reports will not run in workspace

I have configured both FR and Web Analysis and then re-configured workspace to pick them up. 'Reporting and Analysis shows up in my foundation metadata under workspace. All my related ports are enabled.
Database connection manager, import financial reporting reports, preferences financial reporting, tools/link to web analysis, do not appear in workspace.
get 'required application context analyzer is missing. please contact your adminstrator.' error when try to run a web analysis or financial reporting report from workspace.
Web analysis as a client with reports is working fine.
Financial reporting allows me to create a database connection, create a report, pdf preview from the client but web preview breaks with generic page not found error.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Panels color can be changed.

Scheduling Discoverer Report and distributing Discoverer Report Output

Hi,
We are using discoverer (Along with Oracle HCM R12) and would like the END USER to schedule the reports by themselves.
There is an option to schedule the report, and also an option to share it to chosen users/ responsibilities.
We scheduled one report and also set the sharing option to share with others but it seems the report executes but doesn't get sent out by email to the END USER's email id.
Any ideas / thought on this please?
NB: We are looking to distribute Discoverer Report Output from scheduled Discoverer reports...not looking to share the report with other users/ responsibilities.

Using A Web based Form To Call A Web Based Report

Please Help !!
I have created a simple form with two buttons to call a a report in two folds:
1, To preview the report on the internet explorer
2, To generate the same report to excell spreadsheet and have it saved on the users desired directory.
I have tried this exercise locally on my machine and it worked ok.
But when i deployed on the web,
1) The preview part displayed on the server and not on my machine.
2) And the part to generate to excel looks like it worked but I could not see the file.
Could any help please.

When you run on the web the output of the report is generated on the server.
You can use web.show_document built in to get it to show on the client or use DESTYPE=CACHE.
I suggest you'll have a look at the reports and forms integration paper that is posted on
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms

How to display Reports parameter form in Oracle Forms 10g.

hello,
am migrating from Forms 6i applications to Forms 10g.
one of my application contain report, that report display parameter form
I wrote below code for WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger
DECLARE
pl_id      ParamList;
v_report_id report_object;
v_report varchar2(100);
vjob_id varchar2(100);
vc_rep_status varchar2(100);
BEGIN
pl_id := create_parameter_list('my_list');
add_parameter (pl_id,'P_HOSPITAL_ID',text_PARAMETER,
:bm_hospitals.hospital_id);
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',text_PARAMETER,'NO');
v_report_id := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('bm_r001');
v_report := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT ( v_report_id,pl_id );
vjob_id := substr ( v_report, length(<reportservername>)+2,
length( v_report) );
vc_rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS (v_report);
IF vc_rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
     WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| vjob_id||
'?server=rep_mohahubkpcomp_ORaHOme_IAS'||'&userid=
bedman/bedman@bedman'||'&paramform=yes','_blank');
ELSE
     message ('Report failed with error message '||vc_rep_status);
END IF;
Destroy_Parameter_List(pl_id);
END;
The Above code is running report and displaying Output perfect but cannot
display the Parameter Form at runtime.
any help in this very thankful.
Regards
Gagan.

In Your code there is a line:
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',text_PARAMETER,'NO');
which actually disables the report parameter form.
The line:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| vjob_id||
'?server=rep_mohahubkpcomp_ORaHOme_IAS'||'&userid=
bedman/bedman@bedman'||'&paramform=yes','_blank');
displays the report to which vjob_id refers. At this point the report is competed so the parameters userid and paramform are useless.
Hope this helps.

After Parameter Form issue - Oracle Reports 10g

Hi All,
I have compiled an .rdf report to an .rep file and when
I run this file I get the "REP-1247: Report contains uncompiled PL/SQL" message.
The issue is I have built the report with dynamic XML customizations in the after parameter form trigger. When I remove this piece of code from the trigger both files .rdf and .rep works fine.
Notice that the .rdf file works fine with the after parameter form XML customization.
Please, can enyone advice me how can I have a .rep file that contains dynamic XML customization (using the srw.add_definition).
Thank you in advance.

In Your code there is a line:
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',text_PARAMETER,'NO');

'?server=rep_mohahubkpcomp_ORaHOme_IAS'||'&userid=

Reports 10 Parameter form

Hi.
I am facing a problem with the parameter form in reports 10g. The number of parameters in this report are huge. After designing the parameter form , i save and close the report. Now if i re-open the report to do changes, the width and height of the parameter form is reduced (which i increased changed previously) and if i click on any field , that specific field is repositioning itself inside the (reduced)border lines.
I request the forum to give a remedy on this issue.
thanks in advance
