Report Path in Web.show_document()

I have called report using the web.show_documents() and it works perfect when I used absolute path of the report like "F:\Apps\Reports\test.jsp". But I like to use relative path like my working directory in formsweb.cfg is "F:\App" I like to use the path "Reports\test.jsp" but this syntax does not work, cannot find the path specified. How can I do that... Looking forward to a help from the forum memebrs.
Thanks

Hi!
In your developer_home/reports/conf directory exists a file called REP_YOURPCNAME.CONF.
Please make a backup copy of the file.
Open the file (not the backup) with a text editor of your coice.
search for the line
 and change it to
<property name="sourceDir" value="F:\Apps\Reports"/> save the file and restart your oc4j instance.

Kill last reports job with web.show_documents ?

Hi,
I call the Reports service for creating PDF - reports from a Forms modul ,
after creating the report I kill this last Report-job with web.show_document but get the xml response in a new browser window.
Is there another method to send the Report request from Forms without opening this second browser window incl. response data ?
(e.g. a atomic security bundle: Show report result & kill the job ..)
Many thanks
F.

Eventually , the report run... when the active thread got the value 1. How is it done...(i mean the value of 1 , instead of 2 when the report started...????) How to secure that the active thread would be 1 if this is the problem...????
However , because the report is 2 page accross.... the report displays the first page and down the other page.... Is it possible to display both pages accross as i see them in report builder env....?????
Thanks , a lot

Report Status using web.show_document

Hi all.
I am using the web.show_document for running my report - using distribution xml file and mail.
I want to insert a record in a table if the report generation succeeds.
From Oracle Documentation I can see that I cannot get the report status in the form when it is run using web.show_document.
And for distribution I cannot use run_report_object.
Any workaround for this?
Thanks in advance
Anu.

Dear Mr. hisham,
Thanks For your Post,
Actually i have the same issue, but it want to kill a running report in the report server by clicking such a button that have already the jobID.
whithout opening the reportserver page so that no body see any other reports running.
like in this example:
Declare
L_URL Varchar2(1000);
Begin
L_URL := :apps_server||'/reports/rwservlet/Killjobid'||:JOB_ID||'?'||'server='||:report_server;
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('javascript:window.open('||l_URL||');self.close()','_blank') ;
End;
Is it posible to do that, If so how can do it. and do i have to do any settin someware on the server like formsweb.cfg or reportserver.cnf.
thanks in advance.

Title of the browser displaying a report output through web.show_document

Hiya
We are using Oracle Forms 10g 10.1.2.0.2
All our Forms and Reports are working well.
We are using Java Script in Web.Show_Document so that when the report is displayed on the screen in the browser, the browser's toolbar and menubar should not be visible.
The code looks like this:
v_url_in := 'reports/rwservlet' || '/getjobid' || v_job_id || '?server='|| 'my_rep_server';
v_url_out := 'javascript:window.open("'||v_url_in||'", " ", "toolbar=no,menubar=no");self.close();';
Web.Show_Document (v_url_out, '_blank');
The above code is working absolutely fine. No issues about this.
Now when the report opens in a new browser window,the title of the browser window reads as follows:
http://<hostname>:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid1234?server=my_rep_server - Microsoft Internet Explorer
So rather than displaying the title of the browser window as the URL of our Application Server, we want to show the title to Reports name so that it
reads as
'Customer Sales Summary Report - Microsoft Internet Explorer'.
Does anyone has any idea if it is possible to change the title of the browser window, if so, how ?
Cheers
Mayur

Mayur,
I'm not a web developer either, however, I've done this kind of thing using the HTP database package - as I mentioned. What you could do is write a database procedure that accepts the URL and the Title as parameters and let the procedure open the URL for you. For example:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE show_url(p_url VARCHAR2, p_title varchar2) AS
BEGIN
   htp.htmlOpen;
   htp.headOpen;
   htp.htitle(p_title);
   htp.headClose;
   htp.bodyOpen( cattributes => 'onLoad="WinOpen()"');
   htp.bodyOpen;
   htp.script(clanguage => 'javascript',
                cscript => ''
   htp.bodyClose;
   htp.htmlClose;
END;I was unable to test this procedure on my Oracle XE install, but it should work on a non-XE database.
Hope this helps.
Craig...

Calling a report with web.show_document and put pdf in temp directory

Hi,
I need to call a report 10g with web.show_document in order to generate a .pfd file (not viewed by the user) as soon as the user press a button in a form.
I have two problems. Firstly, after generate .pdf, it's opened a undesirable windows "process succefully" (I don't want that window). Secondly, in url parameter, I put:
(...)DESTYPE=File&DESFORMAT=pdf&DESNAME=' || client_win_api.get_temp_directory
the target directory to .pdf file might be the user temporary directory, and not c:\temp, because in Windows XP the user haven't some writing privileges.
How there is spaces in temporary directory, like:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Configurations\Temp
I supose that Get_temp_directory returns something that:
C:\Documen~1\<user>\Local~1\Temp
And web.show_document don't understand.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot,
medina.

Hi Maahjoor,
i have install windows xp on vmware having loop back adapter configure with ip 192.168.10.1.i am using oracle developer 10g suite and oracle 10g r2 database.
i want to call a report using the following code on a button.i have attached the report to the form.
i have started the report server by issuing rwserver server=repsrv.
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(20);
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('ALL_EXPENSES');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status IN ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.10.1:8889/reports/rwservlet'||substr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
ELSE
Message('Error when running report');
END IF;
end;now when i run the command, i get this error
frm-41214: unable to run the report
frm-41219: cannot find the report.invalid id.
argument 1 to builtin run_report_object acnnot be null.
i thin the problem is with this line. WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.10.1:8889/reports/rwservlet'||substr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
can anyone help? or a better piece of code?>
I think you are mixing up the web.show_document usage for URL and with RUN_REPORT_OBJECT.
I hope you have studied this document http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/migration/frm10gsrw10g-132606.pdf . It has the required examples and code.
Cheers,

Forms 11g - web.show_document

Hi!
How can i reach the reports server with web.show_document in Forms 11g?
"opmnctl status" shows the running reportsserver but when i make a call e.g. to
http://pc1:8888/reports/rwservlet?report= ... a.s.o.
the error message: Failure of server apache bridge:
no backend server available for connections ...
is thrown.
any ideas?
thanks in advance!

Can you please specify the OS you are using. Because in Windows XP and Vista, only Forms & Reports Builder and Runtime are supported, and the system components (OHS, WC) are not supported.
If you have installed in a Windows 2003 Platform and install is done with the system components, then the issue is with the OHS.
OHS seems to be down.
You can bring up the OHS, Reports Server through OPMN or start menu. And WLS_REPORTS from the start menu.
In the command prompt, cd $ORACLE_INSTANCE\bin (By default - C:\oracle\Middleware\asinst_1\bin) run the command:
opmnctl.bat status -l :- Will give the status of the components. If System components are not installed, this will not work.
opmnctl.bat restartproc ias-component=ohs1 :- Will restart the OHS.
This can be done from the Start Menu also:
StartMenu -> Oracle Classic Instance - <Instance Name> -> Stop Oracle Http Server - ohs1
StartMenu -> Oracle Classic Instance - <Instance Name> -> Start Oracle Http Server - ohs1
You can stop and start the WLS_FORMS from the start menu:
StartMenu -> Oracle Classic Instance - <Instance Name> -> Forms Services -> Stop WebLogic Server - WLS_FORMS
StartMenu -> Oracle Classic Instance - <Instance Name> -> Forms Services -> Start WebLogic Server - WLS_FORMS
Status of the WLS_FORMS can be seen from the Admin Console:
http:<hostname>:7001/console (use the pwd given during the Classic SH install).
Under Environment section, click Server.
Summary of Servers Page will show the status of the WLS_FORMS.
If you want to stop and start, select Control tab. Check the check box and press the corresponding button.

Web.Show_Document - Is there a file size limitation?

It appears that Web.Show_Document has a problem displaying large .pdfs.
Example: A .pdf size of *2505 KB* would not display, however I compressed the .pdf to *1172 KB* and the report displayed using web.show_document successfully.
I am displaying the .pdf in an Oracle forms using web.show_document. The user presses a button (View Report) and it displays the report. Except, now it is not displaying reports close to 2000 KB in size.
The error says **"Exhausted Resultset"**
Is there a file size limitation with web.show_document?
Environment Background:
Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.4.1.0 (Production)
Oracle Toolkit Version 9.0.4.1.0 (Production)
PL/SQL Version 9.0.1.5.1 (Production)
Report Builder 9.0.4.1.0
ORACLE Server Release 9.0.1.5.1
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production

As already mentioned, WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT has nothing to do with file size. This command simply sends a url to the system's default browser. There is no Oracle magic here.
To the problem, you said:...The error says **"Exhausted Resultset"**Where are you seeing this message?
Is Forms generating this message?
Is this a custom message?
Is this the complete message text?
Is there an error number?
This does not appear to be a Forms generated error message.
I would suggest your store a large file in the same location as where your reports are located. The file should be of the same format (i.e. pdf). Open a browser and manually enter the necessary url to retrieve the content. I suspect the same problem would reproduce IF you believe the problem only occurs when the form calls WEB.SHOW. If it does reproduce then you have at least simplified the problem to a client browser requesting a document from a server.

Calling a report from form using web.show_document

Hi,
Used the method as below, But , error reprot not found,
Could anybody tell me how to get the server name from ny local machine as in the example servername ' Repsrv '
/* WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED */
DECLARE
vc_url varchar2(100);
BEGIN
vc_url:=‘http://<hostname><port>/reports/rwservlet?server='
||
‘Repsrv&report=reptest.rdf&desformat=htmlcss&destype=cache ’
||
'&userid=user/pw@database&p_deptno='||:dept.deptno||'&paramform
=no’;
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(vc_url,’_blank’);
END;
Thanks

If you are attempting to print a report from a when-button-pressed trigger from within a form, you do not have to explicitly specify the server (hostname) nor the port. You can just use what I've found referred to as a virtual path to the server as I have done here:
parm_string := '/reports/rwservlet?config=my_config&report=report_name'
     ||'&desformat=pdf&destype=cache'
     ||'&paramform=no&printjob=no'
     ||'&p_my_user_param1='||v_my_param1
     ||'&p_my_user_param2='||v_my_param2;
web.show_document(parm_string,'_blank');
You can specify a userid/password@connectstring within a named congifuration section of your formsweb.cfg file if necessary, e.g. my_config.
Hope this helps.

This configuration file is present in the /reports/conf/ directory.
It contains a few examples, very usefull if you want to hide some informaztion, like the connection string for instance.
you can call it by setting the entry name in the url:

Web.Show_Document does not work with long running reports

I am using Web.Show_Document() to call reports from Forms. Everything works fine for smaller reports. However for long running reports I do not get the output instead get the page "This page cannot be displayed.". On checking the job status on the report server I find that report is still running and completes after some time but by that time my http request has already timed out. What configuration do I have to change to make my long running reports work.
Thanks

So, looks like this is an IE issue. I need to add the form server site to my list of Trusted Sites. Once I did that, everything started to work fine. Thought I'd share in case anyone is really interested.....

Issue while generating report using web.show_document with https

Hi All,
I am facing some issue while seeing the report using web.show_document as shown below:
https://ucrmskr.apac.nsroot.net:10301/forms/html/001725032_gca.rtf_
In this case the report opens directly without asking for me to save or open or cancel option
whereas if I hit
http://scrmskr.apac.nsroot.net:7801/forms/html/001725032_gca.rtf_
it asks for save or open or cancel option
so that I can save the report to my machine and open in wordpad format
The report generated in the first case is not coming in proper format
Below are my forms.conf mappings:
# Name
# forms.conf - Forms component Apache directives configuration file.
# Purpose
# It should include the weblogic managed server (routing) directives for
# the servers where Forms applications are deployed and other miscellaneous
# Forms component OHS directives.
# Remarks
# This file is included with the OHS configuration under

# virtual mapping for the /forms/html mapping.

WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT . Publish reports character mode directly within browser!

hello!
I'm having the problem.
When I want to publish reports character mode directly within browser!
The code is as follows!
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_DESTYPE, FILE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_DESFORMAT, '');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, REPORT_SERVER, server );
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(reportFile,mparamlist_id);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
     if rep_status = 'FINISHED' then
        vjob_id :=substr(v_rep,length(server)+2,length(v_rep));
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('../reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||vjob_id||'?server='||server,'_blank');
     else
message('Fail to create Report!');
     end if;
The report is generated,
But it does not open directly in browser!
The browser will download a file without extension / format, with the name 'getjobid38'!
When I change the code to 'TXT'
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('../reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||vjob_id||'.txt?server='||servidor,'_blank');
The following error is returned:
rep-50003 the command line is invalid: getjobid38.txt
Already grateful!

Browser Time out in Reports (using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT to call reports)

When running a big report which takes a long time to run, it finishes on the report server but in the browser the screen is stuck at the parameter form, you don't see the report output. It's as if the browser has timedout. Is there a solution to this?
I am running reports using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT only - through a URL. This seems to be a huge drawback of using this method.

Is the browser launching?
If it is have you tried a show source on the browser window?
Sometimes if you open an XML file in a browser you get a blank page but the XML is there. Something to do with the XML format I think. I'm no expert on XML just a behaviour I have observed.

Web.show_document() to display report in cache?

AS & DS 10.1.2.0.2.
I try to use run_report_object to generate report in Forms.
Report Destination Type: CACHE
report status 'FINISHED'
I checked cache <o-h>\reports\cache, the report is there. But nothing is show on screen.
Do I HAVE TO use web.show_document('url') to display report in cache?
If yes, what url I should use? If no (hope so), what I should do to bring the report to browser?
Thanks.

Do I HAVE TO use web.show_document('url') to display report in cache?Yes. See examples in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frm10gsrw10g.pdf
