Thanks Frank,
I like the white paper base on that i am able to run report as below.
declare
report_id Report_Object;
ReportServerJob VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
report_id:= find_report_object('REPORT3');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_FILENAME,'C:\APPLICATION\employeerep.rdf');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_execution_MODE,runtime);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,'REPORTSERVER');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,cache);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESformat,'htmlcss');
ReportServerJob:=run_report_object(report_id);
END;
But the output is generating inside cache directory.
In the white paper its mentioning that if you want to see output before it print then use DESTTYPE= cache and Dest Format= htmlcss as u can see that i had metion the same still i am not able to get the result on screen why ? and how can i do that ?
again i had read in white paper its saying that if you want paramform before report then metion paramform=yes in other parameter i had did that as below
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=yes');
but after this i am geting parameterform as a output in cache.
Please help me on this.
