Report from PL/SQL

Hi guys,
I'm using BI Publisher - a tool for generating reports using SQL queries - to create some reports.
Since I'm not an expert in SQL I'm here to ask for some help.
I have a table which maps products to packages.
For example, suppose that "Package A" has tree products into it then in this table there would exist three rows for "Package A", each one holding a product code.
I want to generate a report that would list in one column all products and the other columns would be dynamic holding the distinct amount of packages found in this table.
The final report would be like this:
PRODUCT     PACKAGE A     PACKAGE B     ...     PACKAGE C
PRODUCT A                    X
PRODUCT B     X     X          X
PRODUCT C          X          X
PRODUCT D                    X
How can I achieve that?
Best regards,
Caio

Invoking XML Publisher Report from PL/SQL

Hi,
I have a PL/SQL procecedure which invokes the Concurrent Request for the XML Publisher Report. This one finishes with a warning and I get 'Unable to publish output' when I try to view the output. Exact Error: "Unable to find the published output for this request "
But if I run the same report using Concurrent program, the Report executes with no error. Also the desired output is coming. I am not sure where I am doing wrong in code.
My code which invokes the XML Publisher Report (from PL/SQL package)is something like this:
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout (template_appl_name => 'XXTMG', template_code => 'XXT_5001_BOL_T', template_language => 'EN', template_territory => 'US', output_format => 'XML');
l_no_of_copies := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_NO_OF_COPIES');
l_printername := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_PRINTER');
l_print_style := NULL; --For setting the Printer Options
l_result := fnd_request.set_print_options (l_printername, l_print_style, l_no_of_copies, TRUE, 'N');
l_result := fnd_request.add_printer (l_printername, 0);
y := fnd_request.submit_request ('XXTMG', 'XXT_5001_BOL', '', TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS'), FALSE, 'CH-120079') ;
end;
Please let me know where I might be going wrong
Thanks

Hi Sumit,
You can try with this code:
exec dbms_application_info.set_client_info(org_id)
exec fnd_global.APPS_INITIALIZE(user_id,resp_id,appl_id);
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout ('XXTMG' --template_appl_name
          ,'XXT_5001_BOL_T' --template_code
          ,'en' --template_language
     ,'US' --template_territory
     ,'XML' --output_format
if (x=TRUE) then
y := fnd_request.submit_request (
                    'XXTMG'           --application
                    ,'XXT_5001_BOL'      --program
                    ,SYSDATE          --start_time
                    ,FALSE               --sub_request
                    ,'CH-120079'          --argument1 (Program's Parameter)
if y>0 then
          dbms_output.put_line('Request ID '||y);
end if;
end if; --if (x=TRUE) then
end;
Make sure that program has only one input parameter. If program has other parameters then you can pass those parameters like argument1, argument2... etc.
Now you can see this submited request in your application using your user id. If you able to see your request in concurrent request then you can add printer parameters in this programs.
You don't need to pass all 100 parameters.
I am executing many programs/reports using this code.
Thanks

Run report from PL/sql procedure

Please any one tell how to I run a report from pl/sql procedure.

I am not sure, but depending on your environment you can create a script to run your PL/SQL code and then generate the report. As is customary in an UNIX environment utilizing shell scripts.

I am planning to invoke the report inside a loop which goes from 1..50. I heard that i need to use a utl_http package which i havent used till now. Does somone has a sample code for running a report from pl/sql. i need it ASAP. Thanks in advance

Generating reports from PL/SQL

I'm new to the world of BI Publisher - so far I'm impressed with what I've seen. I've managed to create a report and an RTF template and generate some nice looking PDF's :)
What I need to do now is to have a nightly job that produces PDF shipment reports using my template for all new shipments generated during the day and I'm having a little difficulty putting it all together.
I've looked at the BI Publisher API's that allow me to generate an XSL from my RTF template and the using the FO engine merge the XSL and XML data to produce the PDF. Then using the delivery manager API's I can send these reports out via email.
I'm a little unsure of how to get the XML source - I've played around with the DataEngine API to generate XML from a SQL query so I think that's where I should be heading.
Does this all sounds right ? Ideally, I want to be able to do all of this from within a scheduled PL/SQL job every night but all the interaction with the BI server seems to be via Java.
Is there an easy(ish) way to run all of this from within PL/SQL ?
And should I be going about this by:
1/ generate XML data using dataengine API
2/ create an RTF template using word and the xml data generated above
3/ use the RTF processor to generate an XSL-FO from my RTF template
(1-3 will only need to be done once)
4/ Then my nightly job will use the dataengine to generate new shipment XML data
5/ use FO processor to generate PDF's from each
6/ use delivery manager API's to email out
All sounds very cumbersome and intense -is there no easier way ?! :) Also, I'm thinking i should be using the bursting engine to split one query containing all the new shipment data and generate/mail a PDF for each shipment ? Is that necessary if all going to the same email address ?
Help/guidance/suggestions greatly appreciated !
Many thanks,
Brent

Here in this case even though i specify the report id in the parameter,debugger message says that 'You did not specify the name'.
The same code is working in some other server and giving the pdf output.
Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Hello Chirag,
If you want to invoke and run a report from your PL/SQL code in the database, you can do so by installing and using the SRW package supplied with Reports. This package allows you to run parametrized report jobs on a specified Reports Server from your PL/SQL program and track the job status. Please take a look at the documentation for this package in the Publishing Reports manual on OTN at: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/A92102_01/toc.htm.
On the other hand, if you just need to invoke the Reports Builder program from your PL/SQL routine, you would need to use the default builtin for calling external applications from PL/SQL.
Thanks,

PDF report from PL/SQL

Hi,
I have a region built from PL/SQL(Anonymous Block). This report is one record with 90 fields formatted to display. Is there a way to do this so it opens in a pdf?
I am using APEX 3.1 on Oracle 11g. We do not have BI, so I need to find another solution to doing this.
Thanks

You can do this with Apache FOP. You may also want to look at http://www.plpdf.com/.

Report from PL/SQL Table

Thanks for answer to my first question. Now I have another problem.
Is there any way to print a report based on virtual table, which is created during some Pl/SQL procedure and can't be easily decribed by Select statement

SELECT FROM PL/SQL TABLE IN ORACLE REPORTS 6I
The requirement is to populate a table and then select from that table in a report. The typical solution is to
populate a database table, but for situations where that is undesirable there is a way to select from a PL/SQL
table.
For example - for each employee we want to populate a PL/SQL table and then select from that table.
I used the following records in the emp table:
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(123,'Bob','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(321,'Sue','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(234,'Mary','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(623,'Joe','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(621,'Jim','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(634,'Jane','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(723,'Fred','Sales',555,'28-JAN-79',35000,12,30);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(721,'Meg','Finance',555,'12-MAY-83',42000,12,10);
INSERT INTO Emp VALUES(734,'Jill','Account',555,'14-AUG-82',33000,12,20);
=============================================================================================
Step 1: Create a package spec in the report:
PACKAGE pkg_table IS
TYPE t_rec IS RECORD (
field1 NUMBER(6),
field2 VARCHAR2(30));
TYPE t_tab IS TABLE OF t_rec INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
gv_tab t_tab;
FUNCTION populate (
p_empno NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER;
END;
Step 2: Create the package body:
PACKAGE BODY pkg_table IS
FUNCTION populate (
p_empno NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
BEGIN
     gv_tab.DELETE;
     -- populate table as required - for demo purposes put in anything
     FOR lv_ind IN 1..MOD(p_empno,20) LOOP
          gv_tab(lv_ind).field1 := lv_ind;
          gv_tab(lv_ind).field2 := 'row '||TO_CHAR(lv_ind)||' for emp '||TO_CHAR(p_empno);
     END LOOP;
     RETURN gv_tab.COUNT;
END populate;
END;
Step 3: Create the master query:
SELECT empno,
ename
FROM emp
Step 4: Add a formula column CF_populate to the master query that does:
function CF_populateFormula return Number is
-- for each emp fetched this formula will repopulate the PL/SQL table
-- and return the number of records in the table
begin
return pkg_table.populate(:empno);
end;
Step 5: Create the detail query:
-- we need to join this to the master and then ensure that for each
-- empno there are as many records fetched as there will be
-- records in the PL/SQL table
SELECT e1.empno,rownum
FROM emp e1, emp e2, emp e3
WHERE rownum <= :CF_populate
Step 6: Add formula columns to the detail query for each of the fields in the
PL/SQL table we want to display:
CF_Field1:
function CF_field1Formula return Number is
begin
return pkg_table.gv_tab(:rownum).field1;
end;
CF_Field2:
function CF_field2Formula return Varchar2 is
begin
return pkg_table.gv_tab(:rownum).field2;
end;
Step 7: Create the repeating frame and layout items to display the formula columns.
=============================================================================================
The same technique can be used to populate a master query. In a report level formula column
CF_Populate populate the PL/SQL table as required. In the master query we just need the rownum:
SELECT rownum
FROM emp, emp, emp
WHERE rownum <= :CF_Populate
Add the formula columns to display Field1 and Field2.
