Reports layout/format problem when called from forms

hi,
using forms and reports builder 10g OS winxp
i have created web and paper layout report with pre-defined template gray (rdf). when i run the web layout there is no problem.
when i call this report from form using
web.show_document('http://machine:8889/reports/rwservlet?report=mail_report.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=HTML&userid=abc/xyz@dbname&para1='||:parameter1, '_blank');
the layout (cell bgcolors of the table) does not appear.
pl guide what am i missing out.
thanks

Hi,
that has nothing to do with forms. Your call inside web.show_document is a servlet-call. With this you get the paper layout of a report. If you want to get the web-layout, you have to call the report with a jsp-call. In your case that might look like http://machine:8889/reports/mail_report.jsp?userid=.....
If you store your report as jsp-file, you can use it for paper & web-layout, as rdf only paper-layout is possible.

Is it possible to call diff report queries when called from form

hello all
I want to know if it is possible to call different report queries when called from oracle 9i form .
i tried to use he
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(REPORT_QUERY = 'q_diff' )
option and actualy called the report name
but it dint seem to work !!!
also is it possible to chng the title of the browser at runtime

Sandeep,
this property is used with passing Record Groups as data parameters from Forms.
Passing the query name indicates that the values contained in the record group substitutes the result of the named query. This may work in client/server Reports, but it definitively doesn't work on teh Web because you can't pass a Record Group as a data parameter in this environment.
Te problem with changing a Reports query is that you must meet the same number of columns and column types as they exist in the Report. I didn't spend much time with XML based runtime customization in Reports. I think that you can change the Reports query through this feature. In Forms you would create the XML file using text_io and the merge it with an existing Reports. I never did this before. So it could be that all I am saying does not work in the end. Before following this idea, you may better ask in teh Reports forum on OTN if it is possible to use the runtime customization feature to modify the Reports query.

JTextField update problem when called from PropertyChangeEvent

Hi,
I'm trying to create forms that can be dynamically loaded with Class.forname(formName).
Those forms should always inherit some methods that make it easy to pass data to
them and receive data from them. The idea is that the data comes from a table which
sends a hashmap (String column/JTextField-name + String Value pairs) with firePropertyChanged
as soon as a new row is seleceted. The JTextFields in the form are marked with setName("FieldName") that has to correspond to the name of the columns of the table.
My problem is that I can't update the fields in my form when I'm calling getRow(HashMap)
from within propertyChangeEvent but that's necessary to keep the forms flexible.
JTextFieldName.setText(newText) just won't work. But it works when I call getRow(HashMap)
from the constructor. SwingWorker and threads to update the form didn't help.
I don't need to call pack() / update() / repaint() on the JFrame, do I ??
update() / validate() / repaint() etc. didn't work on the JTextField themselves.
Below is the code for one of the test-forms (just a JPanel that is inserted in a frame)
with all of it's methods. Does anybody have a solution to this problem ??
Thanks for taking time for that !!

The problem of the change in the form not being comitted is that
I forgot SwingUtilities.invokeLater(makeChanges); in the bottom
part in public void propertyChange(java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent evt)
after having created a new Runnable.
Changes to the UI often have to be comitted by SwingUtitlities.invokeLater()
though I don't know that much about Swing yet.
Thanks to everybody who tried to solve that problem.

Report does not come up when called from Forms

I have installed Oracle 9i database and dveloper suit on my pc. When I run reports from forms, the report does not come up. I have Adobe Acrobat reader 6. The report does get created, I can see it in the cache directory.
It created an error file, I am posting the begining of this file here.

Hi ,
Looks like this is not a Forms side problem or even a Reports Servlet problem
Some guesses.
From the exception
at oracle.reports.engine.EngineImpl.CGetEnv(Native Method)
at oracle.reports.engine.EngineImpl.getEnvs(EngineImpl.java:453)
it looks like engine crashing. Did you see the server GUI up and running ? Server might not have started
Give
rwserver server=<server_name> in command line.
The server GUI should come up and show "ready "
You have multiple Oracle Homes on the same machine. So this could be a PATH problem.
1) Go to ControlPanel -> System - Advanced - Env variables - System Variables
Copy the IDS specific PATH to clipboard
Go to iDS_HOME\bin\ and open a command window. Set only the above PATH here. Start a standalone server
rwserver server=<server_name>
and try
(If this works you could write a batch file later)
2) For trouble shooting purposes use a different server name to start the standalone server.
3) Also look in your registry
HKLM\Software\Oracle\Home<x>\
Here please see whether you have any "very long" environment variable (say more than 256 chars or 512 chars).
This is just a guess.
4) To confirm this is not a Reports servlet problem
give
rwclient report=<report_name> + ..... <server=server_name>
If you get same error, then it is not a servlet problem. It could be that Reports server is crashing
Thanks

the error is like frm-10259: invalid null argument to pacaged procedure or function
Kindly helpme to come out of this...
Thanks in advance
Sundar

Sundar,
you just need a report (*.rdf) file that serves as a placeholder for the reports object in the forms module. You can either take one of your reports, one of the sample reports or create a simple dummy report by yourselves.
Create a simple report using reports developer (e.g. "select sysdate as dummy_date from dual" as the report query). Save it as "dummy.rdf" in your reports directory (where your existing reports are stored).
Now open the form that uses your menu. In the Reports node of your forms module, add a report, select "Use existing report file" and browse to the "dummy.rdf" file previously created.
Open the property palette for that report and remove the path information of the "Filename" property, so that it reads "dummy.rdf".
Edit the "Name" property so that it reads "MY_DUMMY_REPORT".
Compile and save the form.
Now use the PL/SQL code mentioned above in your menu and see if it works.
Hope this helps

Problem with sqlplus when called from forms

Dear friends,
I have the following problem, we are using forms 10g and database 10g,we are using client_host command to call sqlplus from form and the query which is being run by sqlplus is supposed to take an input from the client and return results. there is no problem in that. but the problem is the sqlplus window opens only in minimized mode and the users wants it open in maximized mode by default.
this is the code i am using to do this
pat:='sqlplusw -s'||:global.text||'@i:\sqls\codewise.sql'
client_host(pat);
please help me
prawin

I'm not sure allowing end users access to a sqlplus session is such a good idea. A savvy user having a bad hair day and becoming disgruntled could wreak havoc on your database if he/she has the right permissions. Besides, I've heard rumors that Forms is really good at accepting user input, querying the database, and displaying the results :P

Can report created with BIP be called from forms?

Hello.
We have many forms.
And now we ned complex reports. With BIP we can create them.
But is there a way to call them from forms, like reports created with Report builder?
Can we transfer parameters from forms to BIP reports, so data can be queried on that form parameters?
Thanks.

Hi,
yes, there are several ways you can do this.
DejanH, we discussed at the BI Publisher Forum, here just for the others.
The document you're looking for is here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/xml-publisher/docs/Forms_BIP_v21.pdf
or here
http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/forms/documents/Forms_BIP_v21.pdf
Jan,
it's a new version of the mentioned paper at the OTN-Forms-Side and the old one was removed.
The document describes the way, how to integrate BI Publisher via Web Services into Forms. There are other ways available like
- using HTTP calls via show_document
- using the JavaAPI of BI Publisher and import the needed classes to Forms

Formating problems when printing from googlemail text program

I often use the text program in my google mail account to write letters. However when I click on print preview the format is altered in an undesireable way.
How can I avoid such unwanted format changes?

Please note that google text program uses Adobe for print preview and printing.
They "may" use it for the viewing end of things but the formatting end is all theirs and doesn't involve Adobe Reader. Reader just views the end product.

Reports are not called from form in browser plz help

Hi,
I have installed 9iAS+8.1.7 database on the same machine with NT4 server.My system's forms(.fmx) are running well but my reports are not running from my main form.i call reports from the
from as,
Run_Product(reports,'..\iReports\xglrxx12.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);
Actually want to know the report's setting when calling from the from in a browser(environment variables,virtual paths etc.).
My database is installed in drive E:\8idb_home\ and 9iAS is on
G:\9iAS_home\.My systems .fmx & .rep files are in "iforms" and "ireports" folder respectively.
Plz help!
Many thanks!

Hi,
First of all thanks to Vincent Botteman for solving the prob.
Yes when i changed my call of run_product by excluding the path i have specified when calling from form it then makes a result.
Also specified the entry of your reports .rep files by giving path in reports60_path registery variable as,
Run regedit-->Hkey_Local_Machine-->Software-->Oracle here give the full path of your .rep files as an first entry in reports60_path variable.And finally not mention the path when calling reports from form as,
Run_Product(reports,'xglrxx13.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);<--- Correct way.
Run_Product(reports,'..\iReports\xglrxx13.rep',synchronous,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,pl_id,null);<--- Wrong way.

Report Called from FORMS having Printing Problem

Hi all
Guys i have a report problem in reports 6i.
I am calling a report from my FORM 6i directly to printer (a dot matrix printer).
I have set
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'DesType',TEXT_PARAMETER,'printer');
The report is actually a confirmation report and i have given its layout height equal to 3.7 . But when i send it to printer it ejects the paper equal to 11 (equal to height of a portarait report).
How can manage this ejection from Form or Report Side.
NOTE : This problem occurs even if print the report from report preview(means not printed directlty from FORM).
Kindly help me with this if any.
I need it urgent.
Thanx.

Hello All
The furthur detail to my previous problem is given as follows:
I am getting problem
with the Oracle reports. I have a dot matrix printer (Epson LQ-300, which is a
tractor feed printer). While printing a report which is always not more than half a
page, the printer does not stop after printing the report(the half page). It stops at
the end of the page. I mean that half the page is printed and the rest half is blank.
I want that the printer should print only at half a page. On the blank half it should
print another copy of same report.
Regards,
Qaiser Qayyum Malik.

4.5 to 6i migration or report calling from forms in XE???

Hi Friends,
I really appreciate your helping tendency. Let me explain the whole scenario.
My application basically consists of
Forms [32 Bit] Version 5.0.6.8.0 (Production)
Report Builder 3.0.5.8.0
Oracle Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production
Now we migrated our database into Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production. After the migration all the existing forms and report individually were running without any problem. But there was a huge problem. Whenever I tried to call any report from any form the report engine appeared and then stopped responding. So report calling from forms was not possible after the database migration. I was suggested by someone from OTN forum to migrate my forms and reports into 6i. I have started doing the migration using ifcmp60. WIth forms 6i, reports can be called from forms. But I am facing problem in every other steps. There are many things are not working after the migration though the migration log shows no error. For example, COMMIT_FORM, EXECUTE_QUERY (for detail table), LOV, TOOL.GETVAR lots of things are not working.
My application has 200 forms and 250 reports.
Please help and advise on:
How to call reports from form when the database is XE Or
How to overcome the stated migration problem
Rgds,
Luther

Dear Mark:
I have two choices. I can either migrate to 6i or I can go with the existing 4.5. If I go with 4.5 ......the reports are not being called from forms. This problem is happening after I changed the database from 9i to XE. Please advise what to do so that I can keep my forms in 4.5, database in XE and can call reports from forms.
Rgds,
Luther

Crystal Reports 2008 fails when called from e Web Service under 64bit OS

I have discovered that Crystal Reports 2008 doesn't work when called from a Web Service running under 64bit Windows platforms (in my case Windows 2003 Server and Windows XP 64bit); practically no object is instantiated. I've tried several solutions without success.
Before creating a wrapper component to use under COM+, is there anybody who has a better and cheaper solution than creating another component to wrap CR 2008 ?

Hi Sergio,
Before I mark this post as assumed answered I would just like to say and re-iterate that at this time there is no one answer and we fully understand your concerns. As you know in CR 6.0 it came in 16 and 32 bit versions because at the time 32 bit was relatively new but 16 bit was the norm. This is also true for 32 to 64 bit, 32 is the norm and 64 bit is relatively new. We know and are well aware 64 bit is the future and we are working as quickly as we can to move in that direction. Because of the complexity of the Product it's not simply a matter of re-compiling all of our dll's in 64 bit format. The core of our data connectivity with our database drivers which are dependant on third party clients must also need to support 64 bit modes. This as well as Printer drivers also need to be 64 compatable, there are a multitude of dependencies that we rely on that must add 64 bit support. As a programmer you are well aware of the issues around Thunking back and forth between 32 to 64 bits, it can cause delays and potentially loss of data which is a whole other issue. Not to mention also that we would have to ship both versions potentially doubling the size of the distribution packages or doubling the size of the dll's to have the ability to work in both modes. Relatively speaking of course, it would not be double the size but the variables would need to be able to allocate 32 or 64 memory blocks.
The other option is to produce 2 separate versions, this alone is a massive project. Any issue would need to be fixed in separate code streams.
So I'm sure you can see it's not simply a matter of saying yes we support 64 bit. It's a massive project that is going to take time to do and we have to wait for the third party drivers to commit also.
Visual Studio .NET 2005 and 2008 is the only option if you want true 64 bit but you will be limited on what DB's you can support and export formats you can export to. They are the only drivers we did convert to 64 bit.
Thank you for your understanding

Problem when calling BPEL process (WS) from APEX

I am trying to add a web service call to a BPEL process I have created (tried a few others aswell), but every time I try to add the WDSL file I get the following error:
*1 error has occurred*
The WSDL document contains multiple SOAP bindings. Application Express only supports WSDL's with one SOAP binding. Click Create Web Service Reference Manually to continue creating a reference for this service.
It is a simple BPEL process which works fine when called from the BPEL Console, however I have no success when calling it from APEX.
Am I doing something wrong, or is there a bug in BPEL/APEX?
Oracle BPEL Console v10.1.3.1.0

Allow me to reply to my own thread, for the benefit of any others who might want to invoke a BPEL WS from APEX facing the same problem:
Apex does not seem to like asynchronous BPEL processes so the trick is to make a synchronous BPEL process call the asynchronous BPEL process.
