Report printout through form along parameters

hi,
i have a button on report named 'print'. i want to print report through form by passing values and parameters through form without opening that report? how it could be possible?
example: i am viewing employee data. i want to print through form the detail of any employee i.e. empno 7839.the report is in specific format.
thanks

You can print directly from the application server with destype=printer.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_cla.htm#sthref2725
A requirement is that all the printers in your network, that you want to use for printing, have to known on the AS.

  • SAP Crystal Report (2008) through SQL Query parameters

    Hi,
    I Created a report in Crystal report (2008) based on Sql Query. I created parameters in SQL query prompt only (all single valued).
    Based on this I need to show the data in detail section.
    For Graph, I used another SQL query, and added one subreport to the Main report header section. Since this subreport is also using the SQL query prompts for taking parameters.
    Since both the reports are using same set of parameters. I mapped Main report parameters to sub-report parameters.
    So Now structure is like,
    In a report there is one subreport.
    Main report ....SQL query generates parameter prompt..same parameters is passed to subreport.
    In subreport there are sql generated prompts. and we mapped that prompts to main report parameter prompts.
    Now it is running fine from crystal report, but not from CMC. It is not showing the graph.
    Made Two Experiment:
    1. To check subreport is running or not , Mannualy put my name in sub report--working fine.(CMC)
    2. To check the parameters are correctly mapped--printed the value in subreport--Showing all the parameters value from CMC
    but it is not running the SQL query of that sub report.
    Any suggestion ?? Or is there anyoption to check?? Or a CMC setting.
    Please suggest and respond..
    Thank you in advance.!!

    Hi Rajeev,
    This is Crystal reports development community, you said the report is working fine in Crystal. it is problem in CMC. So the issue is at BI Server.
    So i think you need to create the thread in the below community.

    There is no built in mechanism to call Oracle Forms from Oracle Reports. Usually, customers want to call Reports from Forms which is a built-in feature of Forms using Run_report_object.

    Thanks for your reply. It would be very useful for customers like us, if Oracle can incorporate such a facility in the newer versions of Reports.

  • How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing p

    How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing parameter to it.
    how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.

    how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.This would entirely depend on crystal reports and you might find informations on crystal reports related communities more likely...I for one have seen crystal reports the last time about 12 years ago. And even back then I simply acknowledged it's existence instead of working with it.
    Maybe crystal reports can be invoked via a URL call which would make it simple as you'd need simply build an URL and show the report using web.show_document. But that's pure speculation. Also you might not be the first with this requirement, so the solution to your problem might be right under your nose and just a little google search away ;)

  • Problem in Runinng a report with parameter form through Run_Report_object

    Hi,
    I am trying to run reports thought RUN_REPORT_OBJECT built-in. It works fine in following cases
    * Run a report without parameter Form
    * Run a report with parameter form by passing parameters through parameter
    List.
    But it did not o\work in following cases.
    * Run a report with parameter form by passing parameters through setting the
    REPORT_OTHER option of SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY built-in.
    * Run a report with parameter form by using Reports own parameter form.
    In first case it says un able to run report and does not even submitt the job to the AS. In the second case its submits the job but when i show it with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT, it opens the parameter form and when i run the report after filling the parameters, it displays an error page.
    I am using 9iDS and 10g AS, and 10g Database. Please help me.
    Mohib.

    Mohib,
    Run a report with parameter form by passing parameters through setting the REPORT_OTHER option of SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY built-in.[...] it says un able to run report and does not even submitt the job to the AS
    This sound like a user error to me and you want to check the parameters and maybe look at the Reports Queue Manager for the exact error message
    Run a report with parameter form by using Reports own parameter form.

  • Running reports through Forms server using run_report_object produces no output.

    I am running a non-parameterized report from forms on the forms server using run_report_object. The parameters being passed to the reports server through the property palette are
    file name = blr_ndc_005
    execution mode= RUNTIME
    communication mode = ASYNCHRONOUS
    destype= SCREEN
    desformat=
    desname=

    although the report ran successfully there is no output being displayed in any browser window. Though when i change the destype parameter to 'FILE' the report runs successfully and the file is generated.
    I want similar functionality to the web.show_document built-in but the purpose is to hide the username and password.
    I would be very grateful if anyone could help me in this regard or let me know if this is not possible.
    Thanking in anticipation,

  • Calling report from a form with user input parameters

    Hello,
    I am new to Oracle reports. I have an application coded in 6i. I am currently running the application in Oracle Forms Builder 9i. There are also few reports which are called from the forms. Since the application was developed in 6i, the report was called using Run_Product. The forms pass a set of user parameters to the report using the parameter list pl_id. The syntax used was Run_Product(REPORTS, 'D:\Report\sales.rdf', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
    I learnt that the Run_product doesnt work in 9i and we need to use run_report_object. I have changed the code to use run_report_object and using web.show_document () i am able to run the report from the form. There are 2 parameters that need to be passed from forms to reports. The parameters are from_date and to_date which the user will be prompted to enter on running the form. In the report, the initial values for these parametes are defined. So, the report runs fine for the initial value always. But when i try to change the user inputs for the form_date and to_date, the report output doesnt seem to take the new values, instead the old report with the initial values(defined in the report) runs again.
    Can someone give me the code to pass the user defined parameters to the report from the forms? I have defined a report object in the forms node as REPTEST and defined a parameter list pl_id and added form_date and to_date to pl_id and used the following coding:
    vrepid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT ('REPTEST');
    vrep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (vrepid,pl_id);
    But this doesnt work.
    Also, Should the parameters defined in the forms and reports have the same name?

    Thanks for the quick response Denis.
    I had referred to the document link before and tried using the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure and ENCODE functions as given in the doc and added the following SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC :
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,' FROM_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.FROM_DATE||' TO_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.TO_DATE||' paramform=no');
    But this also dint work. Please help me understand what difference does setting paramform=no OR paramform=yes make?
    In the report, i have defined the user parameters as FROM_DATE and TO_DATE respectively so that they match the form datablock BLK_INPUT items FROM_DATE and TO_DATE.
    My WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger is as below:
    DECLARE
    report_id report_object;
    vrep VARCHAR2 (100);
    v_show_document VARCHAR2 (2000) := '/reports/rwservlet?';
    v_connect VARCHAR2 (30) := '&userid=scott/tiger@oracle';

    In the code - " hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&'|| v_report_other; " in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure above, how do i make sure that the v_report_other variable reflects the user input parameters FROM_DATE and TO_DATE ??? v_report_other is initialised as v_report_other VARCHAR2(4000) :=''; in the procedure. Will ensuring that the v_report_other contains the user input parameters FROM_DATE and TO_DATE ensure that my report will run fine for the input parameters?
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear Sir/Madame,

    One way of doing this is to write a PL/SQL procedure that uses UTL_FILE to read the file and DBMS_OUTPUT to display the contents to the users.

  • Report not running through Forms menu

    Hi Gurus,
    In our reports we have used Query PL/SQL to reference cursor. When it is compiled and an executable 'rep' file is created, which when
    called through froms menu generates following error and aborts the report.
    REP-1401:'qr_1refcurds': Fatal PL/SQL error occured.
    ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
    The same report when called through forms menu, without the compiled version, executes smoothly. Also it runs through report builder perfectly after compilation and generation of rep file.
    Would appreciate if anyone can provide suitable guidelines to solve this issue.
    null

    hello,
    is the program-unit you are trying to call, in an external plsql-library ? if so, you have to provide the PLX version of this library in order to use it from a REP file.
    however, why are you using the compiled REP version at all ? i would suggest to use the RDF file.

    Vikas,
    What have you tried so far. Could you give us a code example? Also, what version of Forms and Reports are you using? Forms 6i through Forms 10g have the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT() built-in which is the recommended way to run a report, however you can also use the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() built-in to call a report. There are examples of how to use both in the Forms Help system.
