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.

Run Report from PL/SQL with branch to different page

I have an application in which, at various points, I run a PL/SQL procedure to perform an action, and then need to run a report while also navigating away from the current page. The actions are executed on a button click.
I have tried various method, but for the life of me cannot get the system to do both things (ie. run the report and branch to another page). I have tried putting in a branch to page 0 (to execute after processing on the button click), with a request line to print the report, followed by a branch to the other page (also to execute after processing on the button click) - and only the branch to page 0 actually executes. Also tried putting a branch to the other page only, with the print request in the Request parameter - but only runs the report, does not branch to the other page.
I have also tried to put the call to run the report into the PL/SQL code, using utl_http.start_request(url), but that came up with a "Bad Request" error. Also tried using the owa_util.redirect_url call, but also no luck.
I am pulling my hair out at the moment, mainly because I am under pressure to deliver the system in very short time.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can run Report queries from their URL ( f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=<REPORT NAME>)
So an approach would be to
On Button click, call a JS function that
<li>1. uses Ondemand/Callback process to do the workflow processing(check box selection records)
<li>2. opens the Report as a popup window(from your IR page)
<li>3. Redirect away from the IR page to another page?
Another approach:
<li>1. IR report submits the page
<li>2. In the PLSQL block you do the processing
<li>3. The branch redirects to a URL which would point to the Report URL.
OR
<li>3. Have an onload JS which runs only when the request was the BUTTON request and that opens up a page which points to the report.
Yet another way would be to use htp.p within the PLSQL block that does the workflow processing
So your PLSQL code would be
BEGIN
--Do the workflow processing here
--End workflow processing
htp.p('<script>');
htp.p(' window.open("f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=<REPORT NAME>"'); --opens up the PDF report
htp.p(' window.location.href= "f?p=&APP_ID.:<page number>:&SESSION."'); --to redirect to new page
htp.p('</script>');
END;

Send a report to report server from PL/SQL Procedure

Hi Report Gurus,
Please can I know how to run a report from pl/sql stored procedure. Is there any way to execute URL from PL/SQL?
Thanks,
Simi.

Why, yes there is!
If you're talking about PL/SQL stored in the database, check the function UTL_HTTP.REQUEST. A "describe utl_http" in SQL*Plus will do the trick.
But if you're talking about PL/SQL inside Forms, you can use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT instead.
Hope this helps,

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.

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

Hello,
a package is provided : srwAPIins.sql installs the Event-Driven Publishing API.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_evnt.htm
The Event-Driven Publishing API is a PL/SQL package that provides the basic functions required for the development of procedures that respond to events in the database. Event-driven jobs are submitted using the HTTP protocol. The server assigns a unique job_ident record to every call, useful for tracking the status of the job.

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

     'p_fec_dos='||to_char(d2,'DD/MM/YYYY'));
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'pdf');

     END LOOP;
     IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' then

     ELSE
          ventana('E','error reporte no encontrado','S');
     END IF;
END;
END;
The 'rep_lab02' is the name of the report that you give in the node reports
p_fec_uno and p_fec_dos they are the parameters in the report
repserver is the name of server created with rwserver

The same code is working in some other server and giving the pdf output.
Thanks in advance for any clarification.

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,
The Oracle Reports Team.

Creating Excel Workbook from PL/SQL Procedure

I am trying to create Excel Workbook with two worksheets from PL/SQL procedure. I created one worksheet. Can I create a separate sheet from same procedure. I used OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER ('application/vnd.ms-excel', FALSE)
command to create the spreadsheet.
Any help would be helpful.
Thanks

Further to my previous post here is how I will develop a typical master details excel report.
by using the package,
It will also show sum of salary at each department.
