Report Parameter Form not displayed

When I ran a report using the following procedure code in web-enabled Oracle forms ,
PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT IS
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
pl_id := get_parameter_list('tmpdata');
if not id_null(pl_id) then
destroy_parameter_list(pl_id);
end if;
pl_id := create_parameter_list('tmpdata');
add_parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'YES');
run_product(REPORTS, 'D:\ORACLE\DIVISION', SYNCHRONOUS, runtime, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END;
No parameter form was displayed. What do you suspect? Or report parameter form cannot be used in web-enabled Oracle forms.
Hope some experts here broaden my mind!
Many thanks,
Richard

Richard,
passing paramform=yes will do it. However, beside of that I wouldn't recommedn using run_product for reports on the Web, indeed paraneter forms are a bit tricky and don't work out of the box. There is a work around that i documented in a Forms/Reports integration Whitepaper available in teh Forms6i collateral section on otn.oracle.com/products/forms. This description uses run_report_object, addressing the Reports Server.

Report Parameter form not showing list of values in Report svr

I was using reports 6i where I used to have list box in report parameter form. I now converted recompiled my reports in 10g and when I run I am not geting the list of values. I get the values as a list below the field
ex.
ITEM :___________
box,book,pencil,rubber,
dvd,floppy...
previously it was coming as a list in the item field
thanks

Hello,
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/topics/htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs/rwwhthow/howto/params/pmp_creating_list_of_values.htm?tp=true
If you run the report from a Web browser and the list of values is unrestricted, the HTML Parameter Form will display a text field instead of a combo box, and a list of static values that you can copy and paste into the text field.

Parameter form not displaying in 9i reports. Works fine in 6i!!

Parameter form does not show up with any options mentioned in the cgicmd.dat.
It works in 6i & surprisingly in 9i reports it doesn't.
In 6i reports destype=cache shows the report output on screen but in 9i it doesn't, the report just sits in the cache dir of reports on the middle tier.
Was Oracle in a hurry to release such incomplete versions???as it shows 9 is exactly opposite to 6 in apperance so are the versions!!! & too much java is harmful to the system performance.
If there's a patch please...

my url looks like this
http://abc:8888/reports/rwservlet?report=myreport.jsp&userid=a/b@c&server=myserver&paramform=yes
or paramform=html with all other arguments same
i have chosen system parameters destype,desname,desformat along with one user parameter
i tried putting the same arguments as it has to put in the cgicmd.dat key map & also typed the above url from the client.
If i give initial values to the parameters then for example i say destype as mail & give other parameters appropriate values , i get a status html form which says report ran successfully.The user gets the mail
If i do not give initial values to every parameter except destype i still get the status message as report ran successfully, but the mail would have not gone.
Is it that the reports will run only when deployed on 9iAS or it runs otherwise too on a system which has 9iDS.
I had posted the same question earlier but i didn't quite understand about report escapes...the person who replied meant to say

Reports Parameter Form not visible in Forms 6i webpage

I have my Forms 6i fmx files and Reports rep files runnung off of HP Unix
within the same directory and yet when I call the report with RUN_PRODUCT,
I don't get the Parameter Form popup. I left it as default at first, and then I even tried using ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'HTML') to my parameter pl_id in my RUN_PRODUCT call. Can anyone tell me why I don't get a Parameter form?

Urgent! Using Reports parameter forms with RUN_REPORT_OBJECT on 9iAS

Hi all, I am migrating client-server to 3-tier with 9iAS Rel2 on AIX 5.1. The forms and reports are upgraded from Forms4.5 to forms9i and Reprots 2.5. We used to have user defined parameter in parameter form(e.g. articale no.) to select records appearing in the report.
However, the Report parameter form doesn't work on web.
I have read Note : 139546.1 but I want the parameter entered in Report parameter form, not in the Form that call the report.
Does anyone has samples of Forms and Reports doing to achieve that? Thank you very much in advance.
best regards,
Kathy

Kathy,
please have a look at the Forms and reports integration Whitepaper that is available from otn.oracle.com/products/forms. This shows you a coding example of what needs to be done to make parameter forms work on teh Web. This papaer is available for Forms9i/Reports9i and Forms6i/Reports6i

Not getting Reports Parameter Form in web-forms environ

I am not able to get a report parameter form to appear for a
report called from forms via a 'run_product' command. It works
fine in client/server mode. In web-forms the report just goes
ahead and runs without the needed parameters. I have tried
explicitly passing a parameter list with the 'paramform' set to
'yes' and this did nothing. I have this on a NT box with latest
Dev2 patches applied.
1. Is the reports parameter form supposed to work in web-forms
mode?
2. How do you set it up to work, if it is supposed to work?
Thanks for any replies.

I guess you have to use web.show_document - I found this article
on DevConnect:
Article-ID: <Note:68647.1>
Circulation: PUBLISHED (EXTERNAL)
Platform: GENERIC Generic issue
Subject: How to show Reports HTML PARAMFORM when
calling Reports
from Forms
Modified-Date: 09-AUG-1999 18:02:04
Document-Type: BULLETIN
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN
Impact: MEDIUM
Component: SQLREP
PURPOSE:
This bulletin explains how to overcome the current restriction
of calling an Oracle Report from Oracle Forms and showing a
PARAMETER FORM. This is currently not possible when using the
RUN_PRODUCT built-in with
WEB DEPLOYED APPLICATIONS.
DESCRIPTION:
When you call an Oracle Report from Oracle Forms using
RUN_PRODUCT in Client-server, you can specify an optional
parameter called PARAMFORM to display the parameter form defined
in the Oracle Report.
For web-deployed applications, the PARAMFORM parameter can be
set to HTML to produce a HTML version of the parameter form.
When calling Oracle Reports from an Oracle Form using
RUN_PRODUCT and specifying PARAMFORM=HTML in the parameter list,
the Oracle Reports parameter form doesn't show the in the client
browser. If the Oracle Reports Cartridge/CGI is used and
PARAMFORM=HTML is specified, then the Oracle Reports parameter
form does appear in the client browser.
Oracle Forms does not use either the Cartridge or the CGI with
RUN_PRODUCT, and it's these thin clients that produce the HTML
Oracle Reports parameter form.
As a workaround to this problem, you can use either the
Cartridge or the CGI with the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT Oracle Forms
builtin. This does require either the Oracle Reports Cartrige
or the CGI to be installed. Neither of these are necessary if
the parameter form isn't required.
INSTRUCTIONS:
The following items need to be installed:
1. Oracle Reports Multi-tier Server.
2. Oracle Reports Web Cartridge
or
Oracle Reports Web CGI.
Here is a typical URL that can be specified in a browser
to run a report using Oracle Reports Cartridge implementation:
http://your_webserver/r30ows?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+
destype=cache+desformat=html+userid=scott/tiger@mydb+paramform=ht
ml
For CGI implementation:
http://your_webserver/your_vir_cgi_dir/r30cgi32.exe?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+destype=cache+desformat=html
userid=scott/tiger@mydbparamform=html
The Oracle Reports parameter form now is shown. This can be
used with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT issuing the request to execute the
report to the Oracle Reports Multi-Tier Server instead of using
RUN_PRODUCT.
The following code may be added to a program unit, which then
issues the request to run the report:
IF get_application_property(user_interface) = 'WEB' then
/* Use Cartridge configuration with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT. */
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://your_webserver/r30ows?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+destype=cache+desformat=html
userid=scott/tiger@mydbparamform=html', '_self');
/* OR for CGI configuration. */
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
('http://your_webserver/your_vir_cgi_dir/r30cgi32.exe?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+destype=cache+desformat=html
userid=scott/tiger@mydbparamform=html', '_self');
ELSE
/* use RUN_PRODUCT for client-server with PARAMFORM=Yes. */
Add_Parameter(plid, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'YES');
RUN_PRODUCT
(REPORTS,'emp_30.rep',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,plid);
END;

How to display Reports parameter form in Oracle Forms 10g.

hello,
am migrating from Forms 6i applications to Forms 10g.
one of my application contain report, that report display parameter form
I wrote below code for WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger
DECLARE
pl_id      ParamList;
v_report_id report_object;
v_report varchar2(100);
vjob_id varchar2(100);
vc_rep_status varchar2(100);
BEGIN
pl_id := create_parameter_list('my_list');
add_parameter (pl_id,'P_HOSPITAL_ID',text_PARAMETER,
:bm_hospitals.hospital_id);
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',text_PARAMETER,'NO');
v_report_id := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('bm_r001');
v_report := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT ( v_report_id,pl_id );
vjob_id := substr ( v_report, length(<reportservername>)+2,
length( v_report) );
vc_rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS (v_report);
IF vc_rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
     WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| vjob_id||
'?server=rep_mohahubkpcomp_ORaHOme_IAS'||'&userid=
bedman/bedman@bedman'||'&paramform=yes','_blank');
ELSE
     message ('Report failed with error message '||vc_rep_status);
END IF;
Destroy_Parameter_List(pl_id);
END;
The Above code is running report and displaying Output perfect but cannot
display the Parameter Form at runtime.
any help in this very thankful.
Regards
Gagan.

In Your code there is a line:
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',text_PARAMETER,'NO');
which actually disables the report parameter form.
The line:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| vjob_id||
'?server=rep_mohahubkpcomp_ORaHOme_IAS'||'&userid=
bedman/bedman@bedman'||'&paramform=yes','_blank');
displays the report to which vjob_id refers. At this point the report is competed so the parameters userid and paramform are useless.
Hope this helps.

Heading Change in "Report Parameter Form"

Hi,
Is there any way to change Headings and presentation on "Report Parameter Form" in 11g,
as shown in
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KYY-OV98iIo/TCnw5J8TEaI/AAAAAAAAAHo/9DnTJTs8now/s1600/here03.bmp
is displaying headings like
"Report Parameters" and "Enter Values for Parameters, Enter Start: , Enter End:"
Can they be user given
Farrukh

The parameter form is inside the report and the layout of it can be altered.
The only exception to if there is an automatic parameter form....but that is not the case in the example
that you have shown.

Report parameter form in ADF/JHS

I am looking for the best way to develop a ADF page (with or without JHS) similiar to the Headstart report parameter form in Oracle Forms. I found a dynamic parameter form example on Steve Meunch's "Not Yet documented ADF Sample Applications", #93 that seems ideal. Has anyone implemented this approach using the existing Headstart tables? How were the LOV queries handled?
Any feedback would be appreciated.

Hi Carl,
Include PARAMFORM=YES in the URL to display the parameter form in RDF to be displayed in the web.But it is showing a submit and reset button at the top.I am not sure how to get rid of it.Hope this will help

REP-50134 occurs when using the submit button on the Reports Parameter Form

Good Morning,
I get the "REP-50134: Cache subitem reports does not exist" error after clicking on the Submit Button from a Reports parameter form.
I am using Forms/Reprots 9i.
Using the source code given in the Whitepaper 'Oracle Forms Services - Using Run_Report_Object() to call Reports with a parameter form', all works well when paramform=no, but when I have a Form print a report with paramform=yes, the parameter form appears correctly, but generates the error after clicking the Submit Button.
Any inputs as to causation or possible places to look to solving this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hello and thanks.
The value in the tag is <form method=post action="reports?">
Looking at this I suspect my problem is related to this setting. I am trying to follow all the instructions in the White Papers but they are a little confusing as they are not all exactly the same. Each attempts to explain a specific functionality without regards to the whole.
For instance I believe I need to have the variables P_ACTION, P_USER_CONNECT and P_SERVER_NAME in the report being called and then add a Before Parameter Form trigger to reset the values. But this seems to duplicate and override what has already been sent via the REPORT_OTHERS property. It is a tad bit confusing.
Can you confirm?
Thanks for any clarification you can provide.

Report parameter is not populated with exact value in stacked column click throughs

I have stacked column chart to show below opportunity data.
Category axis: Month of created date
Series: sales stage
Aggregate: runningvalue of revenue on sales stage group.
data set has below fields.
1. opportunity id
2. created date
3. revenue
4. sales stage.
5. Calculated field: month of created date
I have a sub report which shows the detail information for that month when I click on Stacked column. In order to achieve this i have to pass a report parameter with month of created date(calculated field) on the click action of main report.
This report parameter is not getting populated when i click on the respective stacked column because of which the sub report is failing.
Any thoughts?
1. Category: month of the created date of opportunity(this
1. Category: month of the created date of opportunity(this

Thanks Katherine for reply.
Creating a subreport was never an issue, the issue was when I click on the stacked column the parameter (A) as per your screenshot was not getting populated, some times it just passes a null value.
In my report below is the sample data and in Chart
1. Series Aggregate is on Runningvalue of Revenue set to stage scope.
2. CAtegory group is on Month of Created date
3. Series group is on Stage
4. Have a report filter for Year.
Sub report parameter: Month which is passed when I click on the stacked column.
Below is sample data how my data looks like.

Problem in Insertion into table through After Report Parameter form trigger

Hi All,
I am getting problem in inserting some data into temp table through Report.
My requirement is like that, I have to do a calculation based on user parameters, and then insert the data into the temp table. I wanted to do this into After Report Parameter form trigger function. I have done all the calculation and wrote all the insert statement in that function. There is no problem in compilation. then I am taking value from this temp table in my formula columns.
When I run this report, it hangs, don't understand what is the problem.Can anybody help me out in this.
