Passing a parameter list from a web form to a report

I am using FORMS6 and REPORTS6, with OAS 4.07 on NT4 (SP3).
In client server mode all works well - i am able to pass parameter lists from my calling form to the relevant reports and view them (using RUN_PRODUCT).
However, when i try and do the same by deploying the web Form I come up against several obstacles.
1. How do you pass a parameter list over without using "Paramform=Yes" - a waste of time seeing a html version of the reports parameter form when all the necessary parameters have been selected in the form.
2. if i use web.show_document, with paramform=no, the report runs but with it's default settings.
Any light you can shed would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tony ,
Launcher form is just a simple form(Non database form) which will be having all fields that is required for the report and button to run the report .
When button pressed trigger
Pass all the parameters which are required using Run_product tool & Call the report by Web.Show_document
Best way to see the report is in .pdf format in adobe acrobat reader
I hope it will help you
Bye

Calling a Report from a Web Form

Hi,
I am calling a Report developed in report 6i from a Web form 6i
Button. I am unable to launch the Report if Report is using a
Customized Template. The report is able to launch if it has no
template or using the templates given in report wizard. Is there
any setting required in the Report Server for reading the
template file???

Hello,
According to the way the reports is launched, the format of the reports output depends on the
variables : FORMS60_REPFORMAT (for Forms 6.0 and 6i)
Two others variables are used : FORMS60_OUTPUT and FORMS60_MAPPING.
Can you check the variable FORMS60_REPFORMAT ?
regards Dennis:
Thanks for the info. Your suggestion of changing the windows registry setting FORMS60_REPFORMAT to 'PDF' worked! I did not have to make any other changes to the form. I left the run_product format as is in the form and it worked like a charm. When we eventually migrate to Oracle Reports/Forms 9i we will look into using run_report_object. But for now we will stick with Oracle Forms6i. There was no need to alter the other registry settings FORMS60_MAPPING and FORMS60_OUTPUT since I followed the instructions of setting the virtual directories (symbolic links) when I installed the forms and reports services.
Thanks again for your help!

How to pass a parameter with more than one value to a report? (urgent)

Hi, all
I try to pass a parameter from a search form to a report in
which I would like to print out my search result. My problem is
I can pass the parameter to report but only one value which my
cursor points to. could anyone tell me how to pass a list of
value to the report? my trigger in form like this:
declare
PL_ID PARAMLIST;
sc_no books.c_no%type;
begin
PL_ID := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('parametername');
IF NOT ID_NULL(PL_ID) THEN
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(PL_ID);
END IF;
PL_ID := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('parametername');
IF ID_NULL(PL_ID) THEN
MESSAGE('PL/SQL held against Button failed to execute');
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
sc_no := :searchlist.c_no; --(c_no is the value I want to pass
but not only one.)
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'pamametername', TEXT_PARAMETER, sc_no);
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'reportpathname.rep', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM, PL_ID, NULL);
end;
Thank you in advance
Diana

Is it your values in parameter NO separated by coma? And is it
parameter in where clause?
Do you want something like :
from table
where s_no in (NO) ?
If is answer "yes" you can create lexical parameter in report.
You can write in report sowething like:
select a.field1, a.field2,.....
from table a
&COND /* this is if is condition only one line after "from".
if you have more lien after where then you will put this &COND
in line where you want to have your multivalue.
Then in your trigger in form you should write:
sc_no := 'where a.sc_no in ('||:searchlist.c_no||')';
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'pamametername', TEXT_PARAMETER, sc_no);
/* again this is if you have only one line with WHERE ili
conditions */
or you will write:
sc_no := 'and a.sc_no in ('||:searchlist.c_no||')';
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'pamametername', TEXT_PARAMETER, sc_no);
It will substitute line in which is your conditions with
multivalue.

Passing text parameter with spaces to oracle forms function

Hi,
I have a personalized link in R12.1.3 from OAF to a custom form, which is working fine:
Item Style = Link
Destination URI = form:PO:XXPO:STANDARD:XXXABC03:VENDOR_ID={@VendorID} QUERY_MODE=No
View Instance = SupplierVO
XXPO is the responsibility key, and PO the responsibility application
XXXABC03 is the function name
VENDOR_ID and QUERY_MODE are the form parameters
This link works as expected.
I have a problem passing a text parameter containing spaces. The Oracle Application Framework Developer's Guide
Release 12.1.3 states the following
Note: If you wish to send varchar2 parameter values that contain spaces, use \" to enclose the string value. For example, to pass in something of the form:
TXN_NUMBER=LT INVOICE 1
Use:
TXN_NUMBER=\"LT INVOICE 1\"
So my personalization becomes
Item Style = Link
Destination URI = form:PO:XXPO:STANDARD:XXXABC03:VENDOR_ID={@VendorID} VENDOR_NAME=\"{@VendorName}\" QUERY_MODE=No
View Instance = SupplierVO
But the problem is that the spaces in the vendor name parameter are replaced with %20 when the form opens, e.g. EXAMPLE%20SUPPLIER%20LTD instead of EXAMPLE SUPPLIER LTD
Has anybody got this type of personalization working? Thanks in advance, Ruth
Additional Note:
In real life I have created a workaround for this example. I just pass vendor_id and have modified the XXXABC03 form to derive vendor_name from vendor_id. But I now have another requirement where the parameter WILL have spaces.
In desperation I may add a function to the form to replace %20 with a space in text parameters.
But it would be nice if Oracle worked how it is explained in the manual......

Hi,
I'm not sure if there is a built in function. Else, Javascript code would be necessary.
Using the technique in the link below will do.
http://www.java2s.com/Code/JavaScript/Form-Control/Jumptothenextfield.htm
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like that tabIndex attribute is supported in ADF Faces. Link below.

They are suggestions to use the <h:inputText> component instead but not sure if that is supported and if other problem may occur.

Calling a report from a web form & specifying PDF format

Has anyone been able to call a report from Oracle Forms (6i or 9i) in a web browser (i.e. by pressing a button or any other link)? We are having problems generating the report in PDF format when we web deployed our forms. In client server mode it works fine with the report deferring to PDF. But in the web browser it reverts to a messy HTML format with the columns being distorted. Running a standalone report from the web is no problem but when it is linked with a form it goes back to HTML. In the old forms (5.0) we used a function like run_product but I am not sure what the problem is in the new environment.

Parameter transfer from one Web Dynpro Application to another

hi,
Is it true that only parameters with string type can be transfered from one Web dynpro application to another ?

hi, Justin ,
You are right , I can use inplug for the dest component , and can transfer referenced type , but now I met a problem , how I can transfer the parameter to the dest comp ?
I can use the following code to transfer a value from origin to dest , but how to transfer an object , can you give me some sample code ?
CONCATENATE l_url '?'
               '&guid=' lv_guid
               into l_url.

Passing global variable values from databse to forms

I am using forms 6i and database is oracle 9i.
I am trying to run a form stand alone ( by pressing CTRL-R) without putting it in the application.
since when this form is placed in the application menu it works fine as it has been passed global variables values from the database .
now i am trying to run the form without menu and thus i want to pass the values of global variables .please let me know where should i pass these values in form .is it be WHEN-NEW-FORM-Instance trigger or in Pre-form trigger.
i know what are the global variable values passing into the form from database.
i can hard code any values to check if the form runs well or not.

If you intend to do this sort of testing regularly you might want to consider creating a seperate form with a control block which allows entry of the name of the form you want to run, the names of the globals and their values, and do a CALL_FORM.

How can I add a digital download (pdf) to an autoresponder from a web form?

I have a simple web form on my site, name and email. I know how to access and edit the autoresponder email, but I dont know how to add a digital download. I want the auto responder to include a PDF. Can anyone help me with this?
G

Don't know if you've resolved this, but I would put the PDF in the Media Downloads then just add the link within the autoresponder of the form.
Hope this helps,

Passing a value to a Parameter Field From a VB Form

Post Author: as1971
CA Forum: General
Hello everyone
I'm using Visual Basic 6.0 and Crystal Report 9.0
I built a report using Crystal Report and named it Player_Statement.rpt. I then included it to my VB project and named it Player_Statement.Dsr
In this report I have a Parameter Field called P_Player_ID which I'm using in Record Selection Formula.
I'm using the following code to pass a value to the parameter:
Dim Report As CRAXDRT.ReportSet Report = New Player_StatementReport.ParameterFields.GetItemByName("P_Player_ID").AddCurrentValue CLng(cmbPlayerNB.BoundText)
When I execute the application I get the error message "The value or range you are adding has already existed" at the last line of code (Where I'm assigning the parameter a value)
Could anybody help me please

Passing a parameter while calling a web dynpro application on portal

hi
I am having a web dynpro application which retrieves data from R/3 system via RFC using Jco destinations define in the Portal.
Now we have different kinds of portals running on the same WAS, now I want the application to run which access data from different R/3 systems thru different JCo destinations.
I need to create a logic such that mu application runs fine on any portal with any Jco destination.
Is there any provision to achieve this.
kindly let me know about this.
Thanks and regards
kris

Gopi,
there's an parameter called "sap-wd-arfc-useSys" you can pass to the application, to change the used JCo-Connection (read more at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/f4/651741f163f023e10000000a155106/frameset.htm)
so, if you're running the WD-aaplication on <b>one</b> WAS and call it from different portals, you have to create three (or six with the META-connections) JCo-Connection on your WD-WAS.
In a WD-application you can access URL-Parameters with:
WDWebContextAdapter.getWebContextAdapter().getRequestParameter("<your URL Parameter-Name>");

Passing Fields between List Table and Input Form - selection list

Hi
I have to build up an input form with a lot of values. I like to provide something like a selection list, where the user can select from. An other way would be to make some tables with the possible values and pass them after clicking the row in a corresponding form field.
I couldnt find a solution to do that.
Regards and thanks for helping

Hi,
There is no "clean" way of doing this with the current version.
You can have a form with a few labels and a button for each label. Each button will raise a different event (user defined) which you can handle differently, i.e. run different queries, calculate fields, etc.

How can I use Automator to extract information from the body of an email sent from a web form.. and the import it into Highrise?

I'm assuming that Automator is the way to go. I've never used it before but from research it seems to be the way to go. Also, I'm not good at programming at all.

Hello
You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
use strict;
use open IN => ':crlf';
chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
local $/ = qq(\\0);
my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
local $/ = qq(\\n);

Get file list from URL/web directory

Hey guys,
I have created a script for After Effects that can download multiple images from URLs that are given in an array. Now ideally what I want, is to get all the filenames of the files in a certain browsable web directory to be put in an array.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Does someone have the knowledge here to help me out?
Thanks in advance,
Jorge

This is more difficult to do than it seems. Since the files are on a remote web server, you need to find some way to get the server to divulge its local file structure, which is not something most servers will do. The absolute best way is to have control over the web server and run some server-side code (PHP, node.js, whatever) to generate the file list on the server side and then fetch it with your client/extension/script. Other than that it's almost impossible to get a 3rd party server to divulge its file structure as far as I know, mainly for security reasons. So the #1 question is: do you have control over the server/website that you're trying to fetch from or not?
