Run multiple reports from PL/SQL

I am planning to run reports from a PL/SQL batch program. My requirement is i need to generate multiple(around 50) reports with only a difference in one numeric parameter which will go from 1 to 50. I am planning to invoke the report inside a loop which goes from 1..50. I heard that i need to use a utl_http package which i havent used till now. Does somone has a sample code for running a report from pl/sql. i need it ASAP. Thanks in advance

hi rejesh,
we have an pl/sql API in reports to do exactly what you want to do.
The Reports Event Driven Publishing API
find the documentation including examples in the reports getting
started on technet.

Run report from PL/sql procedure

Please any one tell how to I run a report from pl/sql procedure.

I am not sure, but depending on your environment you can create a script to run your PL/SQL code and then generate the report. As is customary in an UNIX environment utilizing shell scripts.

Invoking XML Publisher Report from PL/SQL

Hi,
I have a PL/SQL procecedure which invokes the Concurrent Request for the XML Publisher Report. This one finishes with a warning and I get 'Unable to publish output' when I try to view the output. Exact Error: "Unable to find the published output for this request "
But if I run the same report using Concurrent program, the Report executes with no error. Also the desired output is coming. I am not sure where I am doing wrong in code.
My code which invokes the XML Publisher Report (from PL/SQL package)is something like this:
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout (template_appl_name => 'XXTMG', template_code => 'XXT_5001_BOL_T', template_language => 'EN', template_territory => 'US', output_format => 'XML');
l_no_of_copies := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_NO_OF_COPIES');
l_printername := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_PRINTER');
l_print_style := NULL; --For setting the Printer Options
l_result := fnd_request.set_print_options (l_printername, l_print_style, l_no_of_copies, TRUE, 'N');
l_result := fnd_request.add_printer (l_printername, 0);
y := fnd_request.submit_request ('XXTMG', 'XXT_5001_BOL', '', TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS'), FALSE, 'CH-120079') ;
end;
Please let me know where I might be going wrong
Thanks

Hi Sumit,
You can try with this code:
exec dbms_application_info.set_client_info(org_id)
exec fnd_global.APPS_INITIALIZE(user_id,resp_id,appl_id);
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout ('XXTMG' --template_appl_name
          ,'XXT_5001_BOL_T' --template_code
          ,'en' --template_language
     ,'US' --template_territory
     ,'XML' --output_format
if (x=TRUE) then
y := fnd_request.submit_request (
                    'XXTMG'           --application
                    ,'XXT_5001_BOL'      --program
                    ,SYSDATE          --start_time
                    ,FALSE               --sub_request
                    ,'CH-120079'          --argument1 (Program's Parameter)
if y>0 then
          dbms_output.put_line('Request ID '||y);
end if;
end if; --if (x=TRUE) then
end;
Make sure that program has only one input parameter. If program has other parameters then you can pass those parameters like argument1, argument2... etc.
Now you can see this submited request in your application using your user id. If you able to see your request in concurrent request then you can add printer parameters in this programs.
You don't need to pass all 100 parameters.
I am executing many programs/reports using this code.
Thanks

Call report from pl-sql routine

I just got started on the report-tool, so, this might be a very basic question, but, would appreciate your
response.
I have a pl-sql routine registered as a concurrent program. How do I make call to report-builder from this routine.
Thxs,

Hello Chirag,
If you want to invoke and run a report from your PL/SQL code in the database, you can do so by installing and using the SRW package supplied with Reports. This package allows you to run parametrized report jobs on a specified Reports Server from your PL/SQL program and track the job status. Please take a look at the documentation for this package in the Publishing Reports manual on OTN at: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/A92102_01/toc.htm.
On the other hand, if you just need to invoke the Reports Builder program from your PL/SQL routine, you would need to use the default builtin for calling external applications from PL/SQL.
Thanks,

Run a report in PL/SQL using utl_http.request

Hi
I need to run a report in PL/SQL using utl_http.request
How that can be done ??
Thank you!

Okay, backtrack.
A web server can deliver all kinds of content. From static HTML pages, to XML files and videos and dynamic content. Including reports.
The communication language (protocol) used to talk to a web server is HTTP.
UTL_HTTP is an Oracle PL/SQL library that implements the client side of this communication. It allows the developer to write code that acts like a web browser and communicates with a web server.
Now what do you not understand and cannot use?
HTTP is not simple and easy. You need to understand the basics of this communication language in order to communicate successfully with the web server. Like knowing the difference between GET and PUT and POST commands, how the URL query string works and so on.
Once you know that, you can look at how the web server provides reports. How do you authenticate as a web browser with the web reporting system? What URLs do you use to access which reports? How do you pass name-values to the web server as report parameters? What HTTP response formats (MIME types) does the web report server provide? Which one do you plan to use and how do you parse that response into a meaning structured data format?
If you're thinking it is "easy", think again. Sure, someone here can provide sample code that for example grabs a CSV report file from a web server and (using a pipeline table function), turn that into rows and columns. But that will not teach you the fundamentals you need to know and not equip you with dealing with the problem with your own brains, hands and keyboard.
PS. In other words, learn to crawl and walk before trying to run. Get to grips with how HTTP works before diving into the deep end of web report integration.

Generating reports from PL/SQL

I'm new to the world of BI Publisher - so far I'm impressed with what I've seen. I've managed to create a report and an RTF template and generate some nice looking PDF's :)
What I need to do now is to have a nightly job that produces PDF shipment reports using my template for all new shipments generated during the day and I'm having a little difficulty putting it all together.
I've looked at the BI Publisher API's that allow me to generate an XSL from my RTF template and the using the FO engine merge the XSL and XML data to produce the PDF. Then using the delivery manager API's I can send these reports out via email.
I'm a little unsure of how to get the XML source - I've played around with the DataEngine API to generate XML from a SQL query so I think that's where I should be heading.
Does this all sounds right ? Ideally, I want to be able to do all of this from within a scheduled PL/SQL job every night but all the interaction with the BI server seems to be via Java.
Is there an easy(ish) way to run all of this from within PL/SQL ?
And should I be going about this by:
1/ generate XML data using dataengine API
2/ create an RTF template using word and the xml data generated above
3/ use the RTF processor to generate an XSL-FO from my RTF template
(1-3 will only need to be done once)
4/ Then my nightly job will use the dataengine to generate new shipment XML data
5/ use FO processor to generate PDF's from each
6/ use delivery manager API's to email out
All sounds very cumbersome and intense -is there no easier way ?! :) Also, I'm thinking i should be using the bursting engine to split one query containing all the new shipment data and generate/mail a PDF for each shipment ? Is that necessary if all going to the same email address ?
Help/guidance/suggestions greatly appreciated !
Many thanks,
Brent

Creating multiple reports from one query

Hello Everyone
I are designing crystal reports where 1 query is built for 1 report / 1 sub-report. To improve overall efficiency of reports, I am trying to design multiple reports/ subreports from the same query. All the sub-reports belong to the parent report and they are very similar to each other.
For example: in Webintelligence, we can just create 1 data provider and pull multiple reports from it and display it in multiple tabs.
Can we do the same thing in Crystal reports??
Please advice.
Thanks

Hello,
If you are using WEBI then you have access to BOE. Create a Universe and publish it to the Repository and then you can use it as your data source.
But I think what you are asking is how to query the DB once? Not possible, each subreport will run the query each time it's viewed.
What you may want to do is create a Stored Procedure and get all of you info into one data collection and not use subreports, use grouping to emulate subreports. As an Example ....
You may want to create a case in Service Market Place since you have BOE and work with a Report Design Rep to help you work out the best solution for you.
Thank you

How to run ADDM report from client?

Hi,
I want to run ADDM report from the client and get the report in my machine?/
in other words while connecting to sqlplus from my machine if i invoke @?/rdbms/admin/ >> it selects local oracle home..
Any suggestion to set as if run the remote sql's from sqlplus?/
Thanks,
Raman

You can run the individual built-in packages from SQL*Plus from a client.
You can also open a browser session to the OEM Grid Server if you know its fully qualified host name or IP Address on your network.
Be sure, however, that you are licensed to do so. ADDM requires the diagnostic pack license.

Error running 9i reports from forms.

Hi folks,
i am having problems running 9i reports from a form.
i have installed Oracle 9iDS on a Win XP machine with 256 MB RAM and a Pentium 1.4Ghz processor.
i also have a local Oracle 9i database. i have created several reports that i am trying to run from some forms but all efforts to date have failed.
below is some sample code.
declare
v_rid report_object;
v_rjob varchar2(100);
v_rptstatus varchar2(100);
v_jobid varchar2(100);
BEGIN
/*get handle to report object itself*/
v_rid := find_report_object('pbranchlist');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'htmlcss');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_DESTYPE,'CACHE');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_SERVER,'repsrv');
set_report_object_property(v_rid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,synchronous);
v_rjob := run_report_object(v_rid);
v_rptstatus := report_object_status(v_rjob);
while v_rptstatus in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') loop
     v_rptstatus := report_object_status(v_rjob);
     message(v_rptstatus);
end loop;
if v_rptstatus = 'FINISHED' then
     /*display report in browser*/
--      web.show_document('http://steve:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
--      substr(v_rptsvrjob,instr(v_rptsvrjob,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
web.show_document('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rjob,instr(v_rjob,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
else
     message('error running Report');
end if;
end;
pbranchlist is defined in the form,
repsrv is a report server i installed and explicitly started.
on clicking the button to run the above code, i get a message on the browser status bar as follows
opening http://steve:8888/reports/rwservlet/getjobid11?server=repsrv...
that's it. it stays like that forever and a progress bar showing the status of the operation gets to the halfway mark and stays there for up to 15 minutes.
I eventually halted the operation by clicking the stop button of the browser. The form then becomes totally non-responsive with the mouse indicator changing to the hour-glass shape and a small vertical bar moving rapidly back and forth at the bottom of the form window.
My only recourse then is to explicitly close the browser window.
I have already configured Reports to run in non single sign-on mode by setting SINGLESIGNON=NO in the rwservlet.properties file.
Is there anything i have not done properly?
Thanks in advance.

Steve,
can you check the Reports cache directory if the Reports file got created? I would assume yes, but better check.
