Report 10g: Runtime Parameter Form

Is there any way in Reports 10g to trigger Parameter Validation just after
user enters a Parameter?
I would like to have dynamic LOV in Reports Parameter Form....
So contents of LOV list items in Report Parameter #3 would depend on the user selection from LOV in Report Parameter #1

It is not as simple as just adding this parameter to the URL. You have to do some coding too.
The basic problem is that the paramform code contains a HTML FORM without any action. So, you have to create an action yourself.
See Metalink note 139546.1 on how to modify your reports (there should be a white paper on OTN too, but I can't find the link anymore).
Bottom line is: yes, it is much simpler to use Forms as your parameter form.

Invoking runtime parameter form from Oracle forms 10g.

Hi all,
I am using Oracle 10g DS.

Reports-Runtime Parameter Form

hi!
I made a report which contains quite a lot of data; so I
also created a user parameter for the runtime parameter form, so
the user can select one value so that the amount of data is
minimized; the user parameter is based on a select statement;
now my question: the way it is now the user can only make one
selection, how can he see all records and is not forced to select
a single value?
thx, michaela

Hi Michaela,
I Understood that you have created user parameter based on
select statement which will display list of values in List item
in the Runtime Parameter form. User can select any one value
from the list & display the records for selected value in the
parameter form. But your question looks like user should have
facility to select all the value in the list from the runtime
parameter form.
Example : Display list of deptno in the Runtime parameter form.
If user selects any one deptno, display employee
details for the selected deptno. Also user should
have option of selecting records for all the dept.
1. Create user parameter P_DEPTNO based on following select
statement.
Select deptno from dept
Union
Select 'ALL' from Dual
2. Create the Query for the report as
Select *
from Emp
Where deptno = Decode(:P_DEPTNO, 'ALL', deptno, :P_DEPTNO)
So user will have option of specifying condition to
select all the records for all the deptno as well as user
can specify particular deptno.
I hope this may help you to solve your problem. Pls let me
know whether this helps you or not.

Reports-Runtime Parameter Form; another question

hi!
I would like to implement 2 user parameters in the runtime
parameter form which depend on each other: with the first one you
can select a special ressort and depending on the selection you
made here you can select some keyword groups with the second one;
but I don't know how the select statement for the second user
parameter should look like, because it is not allowed to use
'Bindevariablen' (sorry, don't know what they are called in
english; this are the ones with the : in front of them):
here is what I tried to do:
parameter: P_1
select rs_id, rs_name from tb_ressort union select 99999, 'alle
Ressorts' from dual order by 1
parameter: P_2
select kwg_id, kwg_group from tb_keyword_group union select
99999, 'ALL' from dual
and here I wanted to add a where clause: where rs_id = :P_1
but this doesn't work
Any other ideas?
thx in advance

Hi Michaela,
I think this will generally not work in reports parameter form;
the parameter values are available first when the report is
started, and the first point to reference them is in the
after-parameter-form trigger. I think you get the message
from the report builder 'REP-0781: Bind variables not allowed in
the Select statement'.
The only idea I have is to write a parameter form with Forms,
with two LOV's attached to two items wich CAN reference each
other. Then use add_parameter and run_product to start your
report. This seems to be more complicated then using only
Reports, but it isn't and it works.

How to hide the window of Runtime Parameter Form?

I have a form and I call a report from this form.I have passed some parameters to this report.Before the browser of reports appear the window of Runtime Parameter Form.I want to hide this window of Runtime Parameter Form but I don't know how.
Please help me!

When calling the report, set the property PARAMFORM to NO. IF you using parameter list to pass values to report you can do as follows:
ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');

Customizing Runtime Parameter Form

Hi
I'm using Portal Release2. Here is my problem I want the customize the Runtime Parameter Form but I can't seem to do it. A simple test case is needed:
1) I've created a report definition file access through portal and successfully run the report.
2) I've copied the run link which is something like -
PORTAL_DEMO.TEST_REPORT.show_tabpage
3) I've created a dynamic link such as -
http://abc.def.com:7778/pls/portal/PORTAL_DEMO.TEST_REPORT.show_tabpage
4) when a user clicks that link the page shown is a default Oracle Report Portlet parameter form even though I've changed the parameter form template.
could someone provide a solution to this issue. By the way I've been reading an old version of portal and you can do it in release1 but no reference is available in release2.
see section 5.14.1 Deploying a Report to an Oracle Portal Content Area
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/ias/doc_library/1021doc_otn/busint.102/a86784/pbr_sec.htm#1033196

Hi George
After you register a RDF component, at the end of registration wizard, you need to go to Customize link and check out the fields you wish to display in Parameter form. After this, you need to click on Save Paramater button, which would save your changes.
Now you can put this RDf component to the content area /page and publish the link to this content area / page to users and they would be able to see your customize param form.
Thanks

Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form

Hi,
I tried in building a report as shown in the example in OTN under reports in the url
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/ParameterFormJSP/index.html
i.e for Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form. The directions in this document were not clear and if any one document which is clear with instruction will be useful to me. In this example it is shown with search criteria with sigle text box and if any one had idea & code to place an combo box and population of the record group in the combo box.
Thank you in advance.

hi,
we will be releasing a new example w.r.t creating a parameter form using the reports JSP within the next month.
as for your request for a combo box. this widget is not available via regular HTML form elements. you can either have a select list or dropdown list.
for a regular select list you would use the following (only pseudo-code)
<select ...>
<rw:foreach>
<option value="<rw:field .../>">
</rw:foreach>
</select>
to populate a select list.
regards,
philipp

Using Run_Report_Object() To Call Reports with a Parameter Form

Hi
I have successfully migrated a version 5 application to 10g but, I'm having a particular issue with reports run from a menu.
The report has 3 user parameters and they previously worked with a client server parameter form.
How do I pass the parameters from the report to the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT in the pl/sql editor in the menu ?
In my other reports I have used a :block.item bind variables but in this case there is no datablock involved.
Any help with the correct syntax will help.

Dear Friend,
You can use following code to run a report from "Forms10g" using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. Directly copy below code to your forms10g and make appropriate changes. In the code, "Manish" is the name of report server running on your application server. To start report server u can run this command on command prompt on your application server.
rwserver server=<server_name>
This command will start report server. In below code i have a text box called "ADDRESS_CODE" which i am passing as a parameter to report which conatains a parameter called "SUBCODE". This is a tested code and works fine in Forms10g DS.
declare
     cnt number(3);
     report_id report_object;
     REPORTSERVERJOB VARCHAR2(100);
     VJOBID VARCHAR2(100);
     REPORTSERVER VARCHAR2(50) := 'MANISH';
     V_URL2 VARCHAR2(500);
     V_URL VARCHAR2(100);
     PARA PARAMLIST ;
begin
     PARA := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('INPUT1');
     --'ADDRESS_BOOK' IS A REPORT OBJECT DEFINED
     REPORT_ID := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('ADDRESS_BOOK');
     --FOLLOWING PARAMETERS ARE MANDATORY PARAMETERS TO SET REPORT OBJECT
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, FILE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'HTMLCSS');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_SERVER, REPORTSERVER);
--TO SEND PARAMETERS TO REPORT ADD FOLLOWING CODE, (:ADDRESS_CODE IS A TEXT ITEM)
ADD_PARAMETER(PARA,'SUBCODE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:ADDRESS_CODE);
--RUN REPORT OBJECT TO FETCH JOBID
REPORTSERVERJOB := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(REPORT_ID,PARA);
--VJOBID IS JOBID THAT IS SET AT RUNTIME BY REPORT SERVER
vjobID := substr(ReportServerJob,length(reportserver)+2,length(ReportServerJob));
v_url := '/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||vjobID||'?server='||reportserver;
     Web.Show_Document(v_url,'_blank');
     DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(PARA);

Calling a JSP Report From HTML parameter form

Hi,
I m trying to run a JSP Report from a HTML parameter Form. The JSP reports requires a parameter named userid in the URL with a valid value for database connection.
eg. URL "http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_crdinf.jsp?userid=sysapps/system@trt1". We have created a variable on the server named "parmformjsp" with a value "sysapps/system@trt1". Now i use this variable in the URL as follows, eg. "http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_crdinf.jsp?parmformjsp".
When i use this URL to call another JSP report from a JSP report it works fine, but the same does not work when calling a JSP report from a HTML form.
the code for HTML parameter form calling a report is as follows,
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>Parameter Form</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>Parameter Form</p>
<form name="form1" method="GET"
action="http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_custrns.jsp?parmformjsp">
<p>From Date<input type="text" name="p_fmdate" size="20"></p>
<p>To Date<input type="text" name="p_todate" size="20"></p>
<p> </p>
<p><input type="submit" ><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
</form>
<p> </p>
</body>
</html>
If i create an input parameter named "userid" with a valid database connection value, remove the ?parmformjsp part from the action URL then it works fine. How can i call the JSP report using the parmformjsp variable name instead of using the "userid" clause in the URL.Can anyone suggest any workaround....
Thanks & Best Regards,
Unmesh

do it like this...
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
BEGIN
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL', TEXT_PARAMETER, :ROUTE_CARD.ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL);
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'D:\STL_FINAL\CHPREPORTS_FINAL\ROUTE_CARD.REP', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END; what exactly happens when you call the report. if its showing the blank page... may be you are not passing the right parameter name. cross-check that your parameter name in the report is 'ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL'.

How to display a Report 9i from Forms if the Report has a Parameter Form?

Hi,
could some one please post me a code sample to show how to call a (paper layout, RDF) Report from Forms if I would like it to display the Report's parameter form first?
Thank you in advance.
Tamas Szecsy
I used the following code segment do achieve the job, but I get "REP-546: Warning: The value of restricted LOV parameter P_ALAL is not among the selectable values" message, even though I would like to specify the P_ALAL value on the report's parameter Form.
declare
paramlist_id ParamList;
tmp_riport_name varchar2(200);
report_id          report_object;
report_job_id varchar2(200);
tmp_id number;
begin
-- init
tmp_riport_name := null;
          -- parameter list
paramlist_id := get_parameter_list('mytmp_params');
if not id_null(paramlist_id) then
destroy_parameter_list(paramlist_id);
end if;
paramlist_id := Create_Parameter_List('mytmp_params');
add_parameter( paramlist_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'YES' );
          -- call report
report_id := find_report_object( 'DUMMY' );
if report_id.id is null then
     return;
end if;
-- display
set_report_object_property( report_id, report_execution_mode, runtime );
set_report_object_property( report_id, report_comm_mode, synchronous );
set_report_object_property( report_id, report_destype, 'preview' );
set_report_object_property( report_id, report_desformat, 'PDF' );
set_report_object_property( report_id, report_server, 'rep_geoias' );
     set_report_object_property( report_id, report_filename, :ALAP_REPORTS_NAME||'.rep' );
report_job_id := run_report_object( report_id, paramlist_id );
tmp_id := to_number(substr( report_job_id, length(name_in('rep_geoias'))+2 ));
web.show_document( '/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||tmp_id||'?server=rep_geoias', '_blank' );
END;

I think you specified report object name incorrect.
in command line:
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('REPORT1');
Report1 must be name of report object in Form Builder.
However to call report from Oracle Form you must do more work. For example:
- Create report server name
- Adding some code to set property for report object base on report server you created.
Cheer!

XML Publisher report in EBS - Parameter Form Problem

Hi,
XML Publisher is a very powerful tool for report developing.
In EBS, we have some efficient issue for showing the parameter form when submit a concurrent program.
If the report is D2K Report or PL/SQL script, when submit a request, it almost shows the parameter form immediately after entering the name of the concurrent program.
But if the report output is XML and generate report using XML Publisher, it takes about 1 minutes to show the parameter form.
Is there any setting should be tuning in our environment or some patches should be applied??
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Zhxiang.

Hi All,
Is there any suggestion, for the issue that t takes long time to show the parameter form?
Thanks in advance,

Could you please help on this. thanks Bcj

Hi , I have tried destype=file , didn't work for me. same time i tried with background=yes , that time report crashed.
Actualy what i'm trying to do is,
whenever the main report received an incorrect user input , i have to run a different report based on that particular input value and to show the users the actual input values.
so the coding would be like this in the after parameter form,
BEGIN
IF :P_ID between 1000 and 5000 then
--here i'm only changing the paramter value ,
ELSE
--here i'm calling the new report
srw.run_report('report=c:\reports\emp.rdf batch=yes destype=file desname c:\reports\id.txt background=yes p_new_id='|| :p_id);
return(true);

Oracle report 10g vs Oracle Forms 11g

Hi,
My application run on Oracle 10g with Oracle Forms&Report 10g
I have to modify a report file which was saved by oracle report 11g.
When I open the file with Oracle Report 10, I have the following warning : "Avertissement ! Ouverture d'un rapport enregistré avec une version plus récente. Risque de perte de fonctionnalité. Continuer ?" (translation : "The file opened was saved with a more recent version of Oracle Report. You may lose some information. Continue ?").
What kind of information I may lose ?
Can I modify my file on Oracle Report 11g and compile it in Oracle Report 10g ?
Or
Can I modify my file on Oracle Report 11g and compile it in Oracle Report 11g and run it on Oracle Report 10g ?
Thanks a lot.

Michel,
Question 1 - the file will no longer be useable with Reports 10g - you will loose everything.
Question 2 - No, newer versions of Oracle Forms and Reports are not backward compatible with older versions.
Question 3 - No, see answer to question 2.

Runtime parameter form

i also had the same problem, but when i changed the %p , my parameter form still did not appear.
Using reports 9i.
Thanks

Thank You, that solved the problem.
You can either use paramform=yes on the url, or in cgicmd.dat file, append %P on to the command line.
Thanks,
