Report based on stored procedure

I want to create a report based on stored procedure(not ref cursor!!!!!)
For example - Invoice report with data with complicated rules:
1.line - product_name and price
2.line - annual fee name and price
3.line - some special fee name and price
4..............
5..............
[b][b][b]Is it possible or not?
We can solve the problem using functions, i.e. select line_1_1(param),line_1_data2(param6) from dual union all and select line_2_1(param1,param2),line_2_2(sysdate) from dual and so on, but I am looking for better solution.
We also can use stored procedure to populate data into temporary table, run report and clear the data in the table after that, but database is read-only for users and we don't want to change the security roles.
Thanks in advance.

Help: Creating a report based on STORED PROCEDURE in Oracle DB

Hi,
We are creating an application with FORMS and REPORTS. A set of stored procedures were created for the FORMS and the ref cursor from the select statement are the same for the REPORTS.
Is there a way that directly use relevant stored procedure to create REPORTS and how?
Thanks in advance.
Jimmy

What I am really interested in is calling STORED PEOCEDURE in DB, not the one that attached with report. What good about this is that the procedures can be shared by FORMS and REPORTS. REPORTS call the procedure with select statement.
Thanks.

Prompts in Universe based on Stored Procedure

Hello All,
I have a universe based on stored procedure. There are two prompts "Date from" and "Dateto" which I set up as "prompt me a for a new value" in the universe.
When I run the webi report it prompts me to enter the date range. I enter and run the report, but when I refresh the report the dates that were selected before shows up in the prompt window(last values selected). How do I make it in a way that when I refresh the report the values are blank i.e it doesnt have the last values selected?
I have saved the report as refresh on open but how do I avoid the prompt values?
Thanks,
Nisha

Hi Nisha,
Can you please share the code where you have mentioned the prompts?
You may try to use @prompt function in stored procedure. Below post can help you:
http://scn.sap.com/thread/1698709
@Prompt('Enter prompt text','A/N/D',<lov>,mono,free,non-persistent)
Use non-persistent parameter value as it is like unchecking "Keep last selected values" in prompt properties.
Hope it will help.

Support a singly report on SQL Stored Procedure and Oracle Stored Procedure

Hi,
I have a requirement in which I need to create a report that will run both on oracle and sql server.
Report is designed as follows.
Main report contain 2 sub-reports.Sub-reports are based on stored procedure that takes three input parameters(beginDate,endDate and hostname which is a comma-separated string).
Main report also have three parameters (beginDate,endDate and hostnameList) that I am linking with both sub-reports.
Since the crystal picks the same name of the parameter as we define in procedure it showing '@' symbol in all the parameters when I change the datasoure from oracle to sql server and that's why sub reports defined in main report loose all the linking and same happens when I switch from sql to oracle since in case of oracle it does not have '@' symbol in variable name.
How can I have one report that work with both DBs without loosing the links.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Amrita

There is no way of doing this in CR. At least not that I've ever heard of anyway.
If you REALLY need to make this work and it REALLY has to be just 1 report... Here is what I'd do...
In the SQL Server database, add a new table that contains the same columns that are being returned by the sp's. If you can't add new tables to the database, use a different database or server...
Create a Linked Server linking the Oracle db to SQL Server. (If you take the 3rd server rout, do the same with the SQL Server)
Write a new sp that will accept the {?WhichServer} parameter and populate the new table with the result set.
Then just query that table for your report.
I know this probably isn't the rout you were wanting to take but it should work...

Calling a report from a Stored Procedure

Is it possible to call a Oracle Report from a Stored Procedure or a Packaged Stored Procedure. If Yes, please provide some details.
Thanks
Shalu

Shalu,
there's an API available to do this.The feature is called "event driven publishing" (because you can use this even from a trigger) and you can find the documentation here:

Help: FORMS based on stored procedures

I am working on a FORM based on stored procedures. This particular FORM performs a query and generates say,
customer_name, item1_sale, item2_sale and sum of the item1_sale and item2_sale.
I'd like to know if there are ways that the query procedure returns to reference cursors that one with multiple records and one with the sums? The FORM will then be able to show rows of sales and the bottom row with show the sale totals.
Thank you in advance.
Jimmy

Francois,
I just tried another way of getting the totals. I manually created a data block and add two items tot_1 and tot_2. I the item properties: I set calculation:
calculation Mode: Summary
Summary Function: Sum
Sumary Block: BLOCK_A
Summary Item: item1_sale etc.,
I got a compile error:
FRM-30377: Summary item must reside in single-record block or in same block as summarized item.
Where do I catch this error?
Thanks.

Creating Sap Crystal Report Through Oracle Stored Procedure Packages

Hi,
1.How we can create crystal report through oracle stored
procedure packages pls tell me the steps through adding command then
tell me the syntax what should i write in command to call the stored
procedure packages or if have some other option then also tell.
2.can
we link stored procedure column to other table column that used in
report.

Hi Ganesh,
As this error comes when you are trying to insert non-numeric value into a numeric column in db it seems that your field might be numeric and you are trying to send it as a string in database.
Please check your Store Proc carefully..

Block based on Stored Procedures & Locking_Mode

Hello,
I'm creating a block in Forms 6.0.8 based on Stored Procedures. I'm using the example given in Metalink doc 52778.1. Updates to data work fine if locking_mode = 'Immediate'. If I set locking_mode to 'Delayed' and run the form, when I try to update and commit something, then the IF condition in lock-procedure (grp_lock) always returns TRUE and I run into the exception trapped there. It appears that Forms is passing NEW values in p_grp_data if locking_mode is Delayed and this is causing the problem. Is there any thing I could do in the form or procedure (preferably in the procedure) to solve this problem ? I'm trying to write procedures that will work with both Immediate and Delayed locking_modes
thanks in advance..

Yes, I was hoping to use these procedures to map the collection type returned to the database to the block data. I guess I was wrong. Except for the initial query and reading some other information from the database, I don't have to use these procedures as I do not write anything to it.
Thank you for your help, I will go on from there.
So, it means that I will have to iterate through my collection inside Forms and manipulate my data row by row. Or, is there a way to pass an Oracle collection type between the database and the Forms client and have it displayed without having to iterate through the rows and mapping each field?

Help: FRM-40505 for a FORM based on stored procedures

Hi,
I am working on a FORM based on stored procedures. When it performs a query, it actually returns record, but still comes with the message FRM-40505: ORACLE error: unable to perform query. Any recommendations on the possible coding area to check?
Thank you in advance.
Jimmy

Jimmy,
To base a block on a stored procedure is not a simple task because it depends on the .....
.... stored procedure !
If you do not provide much information (like the famous stored procedure), we could not do anything for you.
As much information you provide, as much chance we have to understand the problem.

RAISING EXCEPTION AND SHOWING TO USERS IN FORM BASED ON STORED PROCEDURE

I want to handle exceptions in the stored procedure and show it to users.
Here is what i want to do.
I have a sku# field in the form and i want to validate it(against the database
table) in the procedure before inserting into the database.
I want to give a message to users when the validation fails.
How is this possible with the forms based on stored procedure?
Can i use javascript to do the same?

Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.5.0.2 :: BLock based on stored procedure

Trying to develop a form having a block based
on stored procedure. My form works fine if
the stored procedure having REF CURSOR as one
of the argument but if I am using dynamic SQL
in my procedure I can not use Strong REF CURSOR, so I had to use Pl/Sql Table as one of the parameter in the proceudre.
In that case when I run my form and Execute the query it just comes out of the form without displaying anything and also it doesn't throw any error.
Don't know what I am doing wrong.
Pl. Help...

recreatr the problem in any 7.3.4 database ....
But in 8.0.5 it's working fine .....

Oracle CORE     9.0.1.2.0     ProductionI have a module based on stored procedures. I have defined query, lock and update procedure. All of them are working as they should, I mean that when looking at the input and output from these procedures I don't see anything blatantly wrong.
Now, when I update a table field in the form and call the update stored procedure, this procedure takes the updated values in considerations, updates some more fields, and remove some records.
It is working as it should, except for two details :
1- I don't see the values updated by the procedure in the Form;
2- even though some records were removed from the table by the procedure, I still see all my records.
Is there a way to display the returned table?
And, is there any documentation about data block based on stored procedures, what are the required signatures and limitations of those stored procedures, what a lock procedure is supposed to do (mine does 'null;' ...), how to map a collection type defined in Oracle to a Form data block ? Any link will be appreciated, I have found half a dozen page vaguely detailing this on Google, but nothing that can compare to a usual Oracle manual. Maybe I have missed something.
Thank you for your help.

Data block based on stored procedure with input arguments

Hi,
I am able to create a data block based on stored procedure.
but I want that procedure to take input arguments as well and I am facing the issue while setting the value for that input arguments from another block item.
Please somebody help, How to set the value for input argument from another control block- item?.(Note :Data block is based on the stored procedure)
Thanks in Advance,
Anandan Muthukannan

I did exactly the same way you mentioned.
But while building the form, The call to the procedure in 'QUERY-PROCEDURE' trigger has been modified like this way
procedure_name(qp_data,':BLOCK.ITEM');
so in procedure i am getting the value as ':BLOCK.ITEM' not the expected value.
