Reports6i with oas9i (using parameter form)

Hi,
I am using reports 6i with OAS9i .
I am not able to execute a report with a parameterform .
When I press (Submit Query) ,The report always gives the error of cannot contact CGI.
Can anybody help me.
Thanks

Ashraf,
To display the parameter for when deploying a report to the web, you need to include the following item on the url:
&paramform=html
so your url would look like: http://myserver/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=Rep60_xyz&report=mydep.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&destype=cache&desformat=HTMLCSS&paramform=html

How to use parameter forms with run_report_object from Forms?

Hi,
I would like to run a rep report from Forms 9i. I have 9iAS R2 with a rep_<maschine_name> report server.
Untill now I run reports with run_report_object and then used web_show_doc to display the PDF output. Now I have to display a parameter form first and only then can I run the report. Currently I am a bit lost and do not know how to do this? Could some one please point me to some examples or docs?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I have a migration to do in order to use Reports 11g.
But some of the RDF I have to convert use a parameter form at runtime for some of the parameters.

Reports 10g R2 error using parameter form

I am trying to run some reports that are being called from a form (using REPORT_OBJECT). If I set PARAMFORM=YES, I get a HTML parameter form that look correct. When I click the Submit button, I get a 'HTTP 500 server error'
Are parameter forms supposed to be working in 10g?

Hello,
Yes and it is documented in the PDF :
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frmrepparamform.pdf
Have you checked the HTML source of the parameter form ?
What is the value of the attribute ACTION in the element FORM ?

BPEL with human using task forms (customization in task display).

All,
I have deployed a BPEL with human task with task forms (customization in task display).
For above customization Jdev automatically generates set of jsp files like Header1.jsp,Footer1.jsp,payload-body.jsp and <task name .jsp> and build an ear which includes war file.
I have deployed ear as j2ee app using em console.
It got deployed but when I check em console I could not see any active jsps listed.
due to this task customizations are not displayed properly.
but for same app in production instance, it is listing all jsp files in EM console
Any idea where I am missing
Thanks,
Praveen

I got it.
If there are no active jsp/servlets listed means they are never invoked.
I invoked them explicitly then they started coming in the list

NEWBIE HELP - Supress Header with Formula using Parameter

Post Author: Melanie
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Hi,
I am new to CR10, and I am working with it and C#.
I have a report that lists all calls made to a motor vehicle registry agent office after the office is selected from a dropdown on a webpage. I have been asked to make an enhancement whereby the user can select All from a dropdown menu and the report will show all calls for all registry offices. I can do that much and get it to group by the registry agent.
The problem is the header which currently has the Reg. Office Name, Address, City listed on it. If the user now selects All from the dropdown, I just want it to display text "All Registry Offices". Otherwise, I want the name etc...of the registry office selected. I was trying to add a parameter in the code saying if all offices are selected:
objReport.SetParameterValue("AllAgents", 1);
and then in the report, I added a parameter called AllAgents (it showed up in my parameter list). Then I right clicked by the left side of the header, selected Section Expert -> the formula button by Suppressed and typed in this formula:
if {?AllAgents} = "1" then trueelse false
Then when I saved everything, ran the app and try to view the report I get this error:
Server Error in '/src' Application. -
The resource cannot be found. Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

I can see when I go to where the pdf is generated that the pdf was never created. I am lost and stressed out a little bit by this.
Any help is genuinely appreciated!

Problems with calculations using fillable forms via Adobe Reader

I have created a fillable form to use for our business. Our Tech's need to access these forms when working on job sites.

Our latest update, 10.4, should support basic calcilations. If you find that this doesn't work for your document, then please email the document and a brief explanation of your problem to [email protected], so we can better understand what the problem is.

Parameter forms in reports9i

hello
i am having a problem so relief is desired from anyone.i have to migrate some 200 reports built in 6i reports and most of them consists of parameter forms so is there any way to have the same functionality in 9i reports without much of the re-work or i have to make the reports one by one from the scratch or is there any support for this coz whenever i compile these reports and executes them they show the parameter form and then i compiles and saves it as JSP and then whenever i executes it by web.show_document or the test run page for jsp reports the parameters form just vanishes and also the report comes out without considering the parameter criteria.so is there any way to stop this from happening and let the things follow the same route as in 6i.just anyone help me out.
Thanks in advance...

We also had problems with reports using parameter forms when we converted to 9ids. The fix for our problem was to add an environment variable to the /oracle_home/bin/reports.sh file that said:
REPORTS_DEFAULT_PIXEL_SIZE=255
The 255 can be whatever number suits your environment.
This is a documentation bug (it did not appear in any documentation) that has been logged with Oracle.

Problem in reports6i parameter form customization

I am calling report developed under reports6i using rwservlet from j2ee web application. I was able to successfully customize the parameter form internal to report using Report Escapes properties, Before Form value and After Form value. I am using header.htm and footer.htm to render header and footer related html. I am able to use style sheet file also. Everything is working fine with this file. But when I try to repeat the same changes to another report (rdf), it is not taking the changes. No matter what I do, report is taking the settings from parameter form builder tool. When I run the report outside of web ie., from report builder, it is showing the parameter fields and labels I have made changes to, but when I run as web report it is taking the parameter fields and labels that report builder tool has. I am frustrated and do not understand, everything working fine with one report is not working with the other. Is that a bug? or am I missing something? Please help. I really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance,
Raju

Thanks Philipp for the response. Yes I verified whether server picking the changes. That's how I found its only picking from the parameter form builder. Whatever changes I made to the actual parameter form I was not seeing. But I was seeing whatever changes I made in the parameter form builder. I do not want to use parameter form builder wizard. It's kind of weird and that's why I do not see logic behind what's going on? I am wondering is it a bug in the reports developer tool. I am using oracle reports6i (Report Builder 6.0.8.11.3).
Thanks,
Raju

Web Report not working with parameter form

Hi,
I have a report which has got a parameter form. This report is
running fine in client/server environment. But when I deploy the
same report on web (CGI) using PARAMFORM=YES, I am getting the
parameter form and after pressing the SUBMIT button I am getting
a blank report under the following two cases even though I have
data for that query:
CASE1: <input type="hidden" name="desformat" value="html">
then I am getting the report with no data retrieved.
CASE2: <input type="hidden" name="desformat" value="pdf">
then I am getting completely blank report (no logo, no column
titles, etc.)
See the HTML code below. Remember, the same thing is running
fine in client/server environment. Moreover, if I make a HTML-
coded form for the report then everything on the client's
browser is running fine. But this is not what we want, 'coz we
are running the "BEFORE PARAMETER FORM" trigger in the report.
So, should I conclude that web-reports does not work with the
parameter forms?? Is it a bug???

No pal, that's not the problem. The problem lies with the
"BEFORE PARAMETER FORM" report trigger on the web. Check this
out on ur report server and u will understand my problem.

Display Report Parameter Form on Web Browser

I have prepared a report (with a user parameter form )using Report Developer. Then I call the report in a web-based application through the web-browser. the parameter form display normally, except that there are two buttons on the top : submit and return. Also, the layout of the parameter form is not consistent with the style of my application.
1. Can I customized the layout of the parameter form so that it can have consistent style with my web-based program ? If yes, how?
2. Can I suppress the buttons shown on the parameter form ?
(Our Report Server is 9iAS )

Hi
Reports built-in parameter form is deliberately fairly simple in capabilities (otherwise, you'd have all the functionality of Forms inside of Reports). However, with JSPs in Reports 9i, you can go farther to create a custom parameter form of your own liking.

After Parameter Form issue - Oracle Reports 10g

Hi All,
I have compiled an .rdf report to an .rep file and when
I run this file I get the "REP-1247: Report contains uncompiled PL/SQL" message.
The issue is I have built the report with dynamic XML customizations in the after parameter form trigger. When I remove this piece of code from the trigger both files .rdf and .rep works fine.
Notice that the .rdf file works fine with the after parameter form XML customization.
Please, can enyone advice me how can I have a .rep file that contains dynamic XML customization (using the srw.add_definition).
Thank you in advance.

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.

Parameter Form in Oracle Report!!

Dear Oracle Users' Group:
I have problem with "Parameter Form" in Oracle Report.
The Report that I created has the SQL:
"SELECT A.FIELD1, A.FIELD2
FROM MYDATABASE.MYTABLE A
WHERE
A.FIELD1 = :P_1";
When the report is run, it asks for the parameter
and generates the report based on the runtime
parameter. Works perfect on Oracle8i database's
Report front end.
The PROPERTY PALETTE for the FIELD (Field that
takes the runtime parameter) is:
====================
General Information
Name: PF_P_1
Comments:
Parameter Form Field
Source: P_1
Parameter
Datatype: Character
Width: 40
Initial Value:
Validation Trigger:
List of Values:
(For the list of values, I have put the SQL:
"SELECT DISTINCT A.FIELD1 from
MYDATABASE.MYTABLE A", Also I had
tried with list of fixed values like A, B, C)
Web Setting
Additional Attributes (HTML):
================
But the report does NOT work when called from the Web.
(This is only because of the problem with this Parameter
Form in my report. If I get rid of the parameter form by
changing the last line of my SQL to: "A.FIELD1 = 'Chicago'",
it works fine from the Web).
When accessed the report from the Web, the error I get
is:
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Report Job has terminated with this error.
Reports Server Replies:
REP-0788: Warning: The value of restricted LOV parameter P_1 is not among the selectable values.
I do not know what is the error with this simplest Parameter Form based Report!!
In the Property Palette (above) of the Field, there was a field named "Additional Attributes (HTML)"
under "Web Setting" heading.
Do I need to write something there!!
Please help!!
thanks.

Hi, Kimmy
Try: &paramform=yes]http://webserver.com:80/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=repserver&report=rep1&userid=scott/tiger@orcl&destype=cache&desformat=htmlcss&paramform=yes
I've also sent you an email about key maps.
Enjoy! Web Reporting is a great feature.

You are trying to put an alphanumeric character in a numeric parameter field, or a wrong date format. Look at the format of the parameter field in the reports Builder and compare it to the parameters in the query.
