RUN_PRODUCT REPORTS

HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE GENERATE A REPORT USING RUN_PRODUCT IN THE
DEVELOPER 6/INTERNET ENVIRONMENT. IF YES, WHAT SERVER REGISTRY
SETTINGS MADE IT WORK.
I KNOW ABOUT SHOW_DOCUMENT AND WOULD LIKE TO AVOID USING IT.
null

REGISTRY : FORMS60_MAPPING = /myreports/ (i.e)
FORMS60_OUTPUT = C:\MyReports
FORMS60_REPFORMAT = (either HTML or PDF) For PDF,
install Acrobat Reader in every client machine.
REPORTS60_WEBLOC = /myreports/
REPORTS60_WEBLOC_TRANSLATED = C:\MyReports
LISTENER: create a virtual directory "/myreports/", physical
directory "C:\MyReports\" (don3t forget the trailing \ and / !!)
RUN_PRODUCT (REPORTS,'c:\Web60
\Test.rep',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,lp_id,null);
Upon execution, a new browser instance should appear with your
listing.
I think that3s all. It works.
Good luck.
Juan.

URGENT HELP: RUN_PRODUCT(Reports) on Web

Hi,
I have installed oracle 8.0.5, OAS 4.0.7 and Developer
Server 6.0 (Forms, Reports & Graphics Cartridge).
Our forms,reports & graphics cartridges
works fine indivisualy but we are not able to run reports
from web form with run_products it works fine under windows.
1. Is anyone has tried reports on web from forms
2. how to use reports cartridge from from other
than using show_document package can be included
in parameter as server=reportserver in run_products
statement.
3. Is there any registry/system variables required for
this
If anyone know about this, please let me know by e-mail
or posting reply to this thread
Thanks in advance

Hi Darshan,
you must set the followings registry variables:
FORMS60_MAPPING (virtual directory, must exist as a virtual
directory in your web-server configuration)
FORMS60_OUTPUT (physical directory of the virtual directory)
FORMS60_REPFORMAT (html, pdf)
Hope this help

Print report directly to printer using RUN_PRODUCT in Forms6i

Hi all,
I would like to have information regarding print any .rdf directly to printer from form 6i using RUN_PRODUCT.
I got help from Form Builder Help option and tried following coding in form
     DECLARE
     PL_ID                    PARAMLIST;
     printername          VARCHAR2(50);
     BEGIN
     PL_ID := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('WEIGHMENT');
          IF NOT ID_NULL(PL_ID) THEN
               DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(PL_ID);
          END IF;
          PL_ID := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('WEIGHMENT');
          printername := '"'||'I.T Printer'||'"';
          Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, PRINTER);
          Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'DESNAME', TEXT_PARAMETER, printername);
          Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'P_EQ_NBR', TEXT_PARAMETER, :weighment.eq_nbr);
          Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'P_WT_GKEY', TEXT_PARAMETER, :weighment.gkey);
          Run_Product(REPORTS, 'c:\wegt001r', ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, PL_ID, NULL);
     EXCEPTION
          WHEN OTHERS THEN
          MESSAGE(SQLERRM);
     END;
END IF;
But report did not printed and following message received in Reports Background Engine
Error submitting report [Thu May 07 18:49:23 2009] ...
REP-0159: Syntax error on command line.
Pls help.
Thanks,

Hi Heidi
I have already tried printername := 'I.T Printer'; but result is same.
This is also my default printer and I tried to add / remove the following coding
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'DESNAME', TEXT_PARAMETER, PRINTER);
but in both cased I received the same error.
I also tried to print thru HOST command as follows
the_username := Get_Application_Property(USERNAME);
     the_password := Get_Application_Property(PASSWORD);
     the_connect := Get_Application_Property(CONNECT_STRING);
the_command := 'rwrun60 report=c:\wegt001r.rdf userid= '||the_username||'/'||the_password||'@'||the_connect||' DESTYPE=Printer BACKGROUND=NO BATCH=YES ERRFILE=c:\reports\error.log LOGFILE=c:\reports\joblog.log p_eq_nbr='''||'TESTMKI'''||' p_wt_gkey=118306';
Host( the_command );
Host command displays correctly but no printing.
I then change my command as follows
the_command := 'rwrun60 report=c:\wegt001r.rdf userid=test/test@test DESTYPE=Printer BACKGROUND=NO BATCH=YES ERRFILE=c:\reports\error.log LOGFILE=c:\reports\joblog.log p_eq_nbr='''||'TESTMKI'''||' p_wt_gkey=118306'; and now report prints on printer.
But I cannot hard coded the username, password and connect.
Thanks,
Hassan

Help me in using RUN_PRODUCT to call a report from form

Hi GURUs
I am trying to call a report from a form.
I enter hiredate as input parameter in the form and click the 'run report' button.
The hiredate value will be sent to report via pl_id, TEXT_PARAMETER,:CTL.TXT_DT as shown below in when button pressed trigger
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'HRDATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:CTL.TXT_DT);
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'C:\empreport.RDF', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END;
Coming to report side its a simple query select * from emp where trunc(hiredate) > trunc(:hrdate);
I created 'hrdate' user parameter in the report
The problem is when I run the form it calls report and shows the report parameter form with the carried value. now I have to run report again.
How do I supress this paramenter form because when I am sending value from form I dont have to see the parameter form at the report.
I dont know how to use paramform = no with RUN_PRODUCT
Please tell me what to do it....
Thanks

Looking at the Forms documentation it specifies, "To run a report from within a form, you must use the dedicated report integration built-in RUN_REPORT_OBJECT." The RUN_PRODUCT built-in is used to run the Graphics product. I suggest you give RUN_REPORT_OBJECT a try. This is how we call a report from a form.
Hope this helps.

Use run_product call report from form failed.

Hi Expert,
I have a report in my application server and run report like below, it works fine.
run_product(REPORTS,'/gr100/MILK/MILKdev/xxc/reports/XCPO5004',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id,NULL);
Unfortunately, I save the report in DB and run like below, it doesn't work.
run_product(REPORTS,'210.126.129.201:/gr100/MILK/MILKappl/xxc/11.5.0/reports/KO/XCPO5004',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id,NULL);
210.126.129.201 is the db server ip address.
I change to run like
run_product(REPORTS,'210.126.129.201:/gr100/MILK/MILKappl/xxc/11.5.0/reports/KO/XCPO5004',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,DB, pl_id,NULL);
I still not work.
Product version is Forms&Reports 9.0.4
Will any expert give some advise on this? Or Do you have any idea to call the report from db?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Tony,
Thank you for the update.
If I use run_product to call a report from a remote server, what is the syntax of it.
I use run_product(REPORTS,'210.126.129.201:/gr100/MILK/MILKappl/xxc/11.5.0/reports/KO/XCPO5004',SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id,NULL);
210.126.129.201 is the server ip address, and /gr100/MILK/MILKappl/xxc/11.5.0/reports/KO/XCPO5004 is the location of the report.
If this is incorrect, which to be modified.
Thank you,
Helen

Can you open a report in Excel/Word desktop instead of the web pugin?

using run_report_object( and web.show_document,
how or can you get a report to open in the desktop/full version of MS Excel/Word instead of the web plugin versions?
I can get the browser to open a report in pdf with my desktop adobe reader, but not with an rtf or xml/delimited desformat.
Currently I don't pass a mimetype when opening as a pdf, but I do pass one in the url when i am destypes of xml, delimited and rtf,
as this is the only way i have found out how to open the reports in word/excel.
I'm in the process of upgrading from forms 6 client/server to 10g developer suite, so this is my try with a web based system.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or where I should look.

What you could try is downloading the report to the client pc using WEBUTIL_FILETRANSFER.URL_TO_CLIENT, then open the locally save file using something like:
CLIENT_HOST('cmd /c rundll32.exe url.dll,FileProtocolHandler "localfilename"');

Calling Report from a Form

Hi All,
I tried to call a report from a form (using this form as a parameter form)but unfortunately it is not working out for me. I used the run_product built in.
Could someone examine my code and tell me what is wrong?
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('OPEN');
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('OPEN');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_BUNIT',TEXT_PARAMETER, :BLOCK3.BUNIT);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_AGRMT',TEXT_PARAMETER,:BLOCK3.AGRMT);
add_parameter(pl_id,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'SCREEN');
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
run_product(REPORTS, 'APRIL11', SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END;
null

Olan,
Your code looks good, and it should work.
Maybe you should check your report to make sure it is under oralce report path, user-defined parameters in the report are same name, type,lengh as in the form parameters, and correct system parameters.
good luck.

Problem with running bitmap report in Oracle 6i

Hello,
I am running a report from a form using run_product in client/server enviroment. And I use the same code in all forms that run reports. In test enviroment, everything works normally. But in customer enviroment there is weird behaviour. Some reports need a lot of time to be executed, and when they are finally finished, report previewer is not maximized as it is in test enviroment. And more important problem is that one report doesn't execute at all. Report background engine is started but report doesn't come out at all.
Here is code which I use to run reports:
declare
izvestaj      varchar2(15);
pListName varchar2(20) := 'parList';
dt      varchar2(6) := 'Screen';
pList      paramlist;
BEGIN
izvestaj := 'EBS12';
begin
pList := get_parameter_list(pListName);
if not id_null(pList) then
destroy_parameter_list(pList);
end if;
pList := create_parameter_list(pListName);
if (not id_null(pList)) then
add_parameter(pList, 'P_PREDUZECE', text_parameter, to_char(:kontrolni.preduzece_id));
add_parameter(pList, 'P_PRENOS', text_parameter, to_char(:prenos.id));

Is it maybe some enviroment settings problem and if yes, what should I pay attention on?
Tnx in advance,

Hello,
When you put a block on a "new stacked canvas" that canvas is generated as a popup canvas. If that popup overlaps with some other generated items (for instance: items in master block) Forms will not show it.
You can try showing that popup canvas programatically with Show_View('canvas_name') in When-New-Form-Instance and see what happens.
Dalibor
P.S. Why do you have to put detail block on a popup canvas? Why don't you simply put it on a "same content canvas"?

Problem running a report in forms.

Hello!
I am having a problem with running a report in a form. I have installed on my computer Oracle developer suite 10g, weblogic, oracle database 11g. Now i have a main form in witch runs froms and reports. The forms and reports had run well on oracle 6i but now i am faceing with a issue, the forms are running but the reports do not. In oracle 6i the reports did run with run_product, now with REPORT_OBJECT. I don't understand what structure could i use. Do i have to install Application server ???? PLS explain what do i have to do, all the configuration necessery, other ipoduct installation if needed. thanks!!!!!

Ok, so I have installed on my computer Oracle developer suite 10g, weblogic, oracle database 11g just like i said in the previous post. If i installed weblogic and i can run forms it means that i have the weblogic server running, no? If not what do i have to install for it to run ? I did what you said about the reports path, but just to be clear , i put it in environment variables REPORT_PATH='D:\diploma\Last_version\Rap'. I don't know where to put it in fromsweb.cfg !

HOW TO Call REPORT from FORM usning a Button ?

Hi All,
Please Help me and Help other Beginers in this :
Hot to call a report from a form using WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger (using Oracle 10g R1)
Should i save the report as .rdf or .jsp ?
Should i save the report in a specific path ?
Should i add the path to the REPORTS_PATH in the registery ?
What about the Report Server ? should i install it first ?
What about the report properties ? what should i change ?
Please Help with Steps to make this sample report with the most important thing which is the PLSQL code we will type in the WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger.
Regards,
PS. i tried to search in the forum .. but u can imagine how hard it is to look within Messages: 164,066 - Threads: 46,773 - Pages: 3,119 :)

Hi there,
Most of the things do not come for free. You need to spend some effort in order to obtain results.
Check run_product, run_report_object built-in.
Also, download the documentation library and go through:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/devsuite.html
The example of how to use the run_product directly from the book "Oracle Forms Developer Form Builder Reference, Volume 1 - Release 6i.pdf":
RUN_PRODUCT examples
** Built-in: RUN_PRODUCT
** Example: Call a Report Builder report, passing the
** data in record group ’EMP_RECS’ to substitute
** for the report’s query named ’EMP_QUERY’.
** Presumes the Emp_Recs record group already
** exists and has the same column/data type
** structure as the report’s Emp_Query query.
PROCEDURE Run_Emp_Report IS
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
** Check to see if the ’tmpdata’ parameter list exists.
349
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List(’tmpdata’);
** If it does, then delete it before we create it again in
** case it contains parameters that are not useful for our
** purposes here.
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
** Create the ’tmpdata’ parameter list afresh.
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List(’tmpdata’);
** Add a data parameter to this parameter list that will
** establish the relationship between the named query
** ’EMP_QUERY’ in the report, and the record group named
** ’EMP_RECS’ in the form.
Add_Parameter(pl_id,’EMP_QUERY’,DATA_PARAMETER,’EMP_RECS’);
**Pass a Parameter into PARAMFORM so that a parameter dialog
will not appear
**for the parameters being passing in.
Add_Parameter(pl_id, ’PARAMFORM’, TEXT_PARAMETER, ’NO’);
** Run the report synchronously, passing the parameter list
Run_Product(REPORTS, ’empreport’, SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END;
Hope it helps,
Michael

How to run a report from a form?

i created a report from reports 6i. now i want to design an interface in oracle forms and want to call all information from report according to paramaters which i designed in oracle forms.
i found some information that i can do that using Procedure Run_Report or Run_report_object but i could not achieved it.
Can anyone explain me that step by step? Or anybody made an example before so a connection from form to report and send to me as a muster. probably i can find a solution for me too..thanks a lot..

Abdetu thanks for your quickly reply but i have to say that i could not understand it very clearly because i don't have any experience about Forms and Reports. Therefore i am trying to ask my question again with examples.
I made a report and now i am trying to connect this report to my forms. My forms has 2 search item. Account_no and Date and i have a Run button.
If i write date "Oct" and push button "Run" i want to see whole list of Oct from Report. Therefore i made a trigger "When-Button-Pressed" and i wrote this and now my question about the parameters.
In Forms under menu parameters should i create 2 parameters parameter01 and parameter02. and now my questions:
1) After i create parameters should i write as a Parameter Initial Value
2) Should i extra add paramters to reports too?
declare
v_Report_Id Varchar2(20) := 'RAPOR_NAME';
v_Parameter_List Varchar2(15) := 'FormParameter';
v_Parameter_List_Id Paramlist;
v_Return_Code Number;
Begin
v_Parameter_List_Id := Get_Parameter_List(v_Parameter_List);
If Not id_null(v_Parameter_List_Id) Then
Destroy_Parameter_List(v_Parameter_List_Id);
End If;
v_Parameter_List_Id := Create_Parameter_List(v_Parameter_List);
Add_parameter(v_Parameter_List_Id, 'PAR_01', TEXT_PARAMETER,:Parameter01);
Add_parameter(v_Parameter_List_Id, 'PAR_02', TEXT_PARAMETER,:Parameter02);
Add_parameter(v_Parameter_List_Id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
Add_parameter(v_Parameter_List_Id, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER,'SCREEN');
Run_product(REPORTS,'v_Rerpot_Id',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,v_Parameter_List_Id,null);
End;

Report as PDF

Dear all,
I'm able to create a report as a PDF file, but I'm not able to open the PDF after creation. The host command is running but does not find the report because it is not yet created. Is there any way to make the host command running AFTER the PDF is created ?
DECLARE
pl_list paramlist;
where_parameter VARCHAR2(500) := null;
BEGIN
pl_list := get_parameter_list('list');
IF NOT id_null(pl_list) THEN
destroy_parameter_list(pl_list);
END IF;
pl_list := create_parameter_list('list');
where_parameter := WHERE ... ORDER BY ...
add_parameter(pl_list, 'p_where', TEXT_PARAMETER, where_parameter);
add_parameter(pl_list, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'FILE');
add_parameter(pl_list, 'DESNAME', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'report.pdf');
add_parameter(pl_list, 'DESFORMAT', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'PDF');
add_parameter(pl_list, 'paramform', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'no');
run_product(REPORTS, 'report.rdf', ASYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_list, NULL);
host('cmd /c report.pdf');
END;

Stijin,
try run_product(REPORTS, 'report.rdf', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_list, NULL);
This makes Forms wait for the Reports to finish. Be aware of that Run_Product() was replaced by Run_Report_Object() in Forms9i. So to prepare your apps for upgrade i woudl start writing Run_Reports_Object() code.
See: http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/277282.pdf
Or for Forms 9i: http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/frm9isrw9i.pdf
