RUNNIG CRYSTAL REPORTS FROM ORACLE FORMS (for oracle report team too)

I WANT TO RUN CRYSTAL REPORT FROM THE ORACE FORMS 6i how can i
run this if any one has syntax or any detail please send me
or reply
thanks

Ask the Crystal support forum how do you invoke their tool from
a command line.
You can then use host command from forms.
You can also try and find out if they have an OLE2 interface and
then work with the OLE2 package in forms.

Rana,
I found this in the Forms online Help. You could easily found it yourself. Don't be afraid of pressing CTRL-H:

Can not run Reports from a Form

Hello,
First: I'm completely new to Oracle, even my english is not very good - i'm sorry for that.
Problem:
I want to run a report from a Form using the Report Server.
If i use:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://tfischer:8888/reports/rwservlet?report=C:\Oracle-Projekte\testbericht.rdf&USERID=user/password@oraapp&SERVER=SrvShadow&DESFORMAT=html&DESTYPE=cache', '_blank') - everything works well.
But if i use:
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('REPORT_NAME');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid); - always following Error-Message appears:
"FRM41213: Anmeldung bei Report-Server SrvShadow nicht möglich" (english: registration on Report-Server SrvShadow not possible)
I am using:
Windows 2000
Oracle DS9i
Oracle DB92 (Personal edition)
Can somebody help me, please?
If you need more information, to help me, please ask.

Hi,
Try using
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY
(repid,REPORT_SERVER,"YOURSERVERNAME");
before
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT;
If you are testing the report on your PC using reports services on your PC then you may need to initiailize the reprots server using
rwserver server="YOURSERVERNAME" install
at command prompt.
Hope this helps.

Oracle forms and Oracle reports for Oracle 9i

Hello,
I'm searching for Oracle forms and Oracle reports that works with Oracle 9i.
Does someone know where I can find them?
Thanks in advance...

When we talk about Oracle9i, we often mean the database version 9i.
Apparently you want to use Forms and Reports 9i, which included in the obsolete (and very unhappy) Application Server 9i. ... Or the also obsolete Application Server 10g Release 1 (aka App Server 9.0.4.
You are encouraged to look at Forms and Reports 10g (part of the improved Application Server 10g) which does connect to Oracle Database 9i as well as Oracle Database 10g. Look for App Server 10g Release 2, version 10.1.2.0.2 and 10.1.2.2)

Our Database is installed on Linux box (DB version: 10.1.0.3.0)
I need to run different Oracle reports from the form based application or from the form builder. (Report Builder 9.0.4.1.0)
Any feed back will be appreciated.

hello,
there are two ways to do this :
1) submit two jobs, one that prints and one that creates the PDF
2) use reports advanced distribution to print and create a PDF file on the server as part of the same job, and then use web.show_document to bring up the PDF in the browser.
however, this brings up the question, why exactly you want to print and display at the same time. why not display it and let the user print form Acrobat Reader.
thanks,

Hi, we need to create the test environment from our production for oracle AP Imaging. we have soa,ipm,ucm and capture managed servers in our weblogic. can anyone tell me what is the best way to clone the environment, can I just tar the weblogic file syste

Hi, we need to create the test environment from our production for oracle AP Imaging. we have soa,ipm,ucm and capture managed servers in our weblogic..
Can anyone tell me what is the best way to cloning the application from different environment, the test and production are in different physical server.
Can I just tar the weblogic file system and untar it to the new server and make the necessary changes?
Can anyone share their experiences and how to with me?
Thank in advance.
Katherine

Hi Katherine,
yes and no . You need as well weblogic + soa files as the database schemas (soa_infra, mds...).
Please refer to the AMIS Blog: https://technology.amis.nl/2011/08/11/clone-your-oracle-fmw-soa-suite-11g/

Tools for Developing/Customizing Forms for Oracle Apps R12.1

Hi All,
Could you please help me identify the tools and correct version for developing and customizing Forms for Oracle E-Business Suite R12.1?
Regards,
KK

Also, could you please elaborate your 2nd point regarding template.fmb The Oracle EBS uses a framework. Starting any new (custom) form for the EBS should ALWAYS begin with the template.fmb to ensure your new form has all of the required objects to comply with EBS Forms development standards. You might want to take a look at the Oracle Applications Documentation library. Select your EBS version and then scroll to the Standards section and review the following documents:
<ul>
<li>Oracle Applications Developer's Guide
<li>Oracle Applications User Interface Standards for Forms-Based Products
<li>Oracle Application Framework Personalization Guide
</ul>

Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports as portlets

Please, where can I get the documentation to publish Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports as portlets. I found some information about it in metalink but the URLs are invalid.

Hi,
Here are the steps you need to follow while building Portlets .
1) After creating a Application,in the last step click on the Checkbox 'EXPOSE AS PROVIDER'.
If the application has already been created ,click on the same checkbox in the grant access section.
2) When creating a component within the application ,select the checkbox 'PUBLISH TO PORTAL'.
Incase ,you have already created the component then just click on the same option in the grant access section.
Now when you want to add these portlets to be part of a page .Just select the provider(Application) and the portlets under it.
Hope this helps.

Migration from Oracle Forms to Oracle Apex 3.2

Hi I am learning Apex, I mainly work in Oracle developer. I have converted one Oracle form into Oracle Apex. the migrated Form appears on the screen,works, but not as I like it to be. All the triggers are migrated into Apex but they don't work as they did in Oracle Form. I cant make the form work as it should be. please help.

Triggers in forms will NOT work EXACTLY like they do in Forms, that is the nature of the beast.. APEX runs under a browser and you are running with html events to trap on..
Suggestion, the Forms conversion tools converts only so much, you will have to do some work to get what you want. Also, I would suggest re-evaluating your application, since it was probably a client server based application, moving it to the web will involve some re-engineering..
Thank you,

Calling report from a form with user input parameters

Hello,
I am new to Oracle reports. I have an application coded in 6i. I am currently running the application in Oracle Forms Builder 9i. There are also few reports which are called from the forms. Since the application was developed in 6i, the report was called using Run_Product. The forms pass a set of user parameters to the report using the parameter list pl_id. The syntax used was Run_Product(REPORTS, 'D:\Report\sales.rdf', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
I learnt that the Run_product doesnt work in 9i and we need to use run_report_object. I have changed the code to use run_report_object and using web.show_document () i am able to run the report from the form. There are 2 parameters that need to be passed from forms to reports. The parameters are from_date and to_date which the user will be prompted to enter on running the form. In the report, the initial values for these parametes are defined. So, the report runs fine for the initial value always. But when i try to change the user inputs for the form_date and to_date, the report output doesnt seem to take the new values, instead the old report with the initial values(defined in the report) runs again.
Can someone give me the code to pass the user defined parameters to the report from the forms? I have defined a report object in the forms node as REPTEST and defined a parameter list pl_id and added form_date and to_date to pl_id and used the following coding:
vrepid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT ('REPTEST');
vrep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (vrepid,pl_id);
But this doesnt work.
Also, Should the parameters defined in the forms and reports have the same name?

Thanks for the quick response Denis.
I had referred to the document link before and tried using the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure and ENCODE functions as given in the doc and added the following SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC :
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,' FROM_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.FROM_DATE||' TO_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.TO_DATE||' paramform=no');
But this also dint work. Please help me understand what difference does setting paramform=no OR paramform=yes make?
In the report, i have defined the user parameters as FROM_DATE and TO_DATE respectively so that they match the form datablock BLK_INPUT items FROM_DATE and TO_DATE.
My WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger is as below:
DECLARE
report_id report_object;
vrep VARCHAR2 (100);
v_show_document VARCHAR2 (2000) := '/reports/rwservlet?';
v_connect VARCHAR2 (30) := '&userid=scott/tiger@oracle';
v_report_server VARCHAR2 (30) := 'repserver90';
BEGIN
report_id:= find_report_object('REPTEST');
-- Call the generic PL/SQL procedure to run the Reports
RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC( report_id,'repserver90','PDF',CACHE,'D:\Report\sales.rdf','paramform=no','/reports/rwservlet');
END;
... and the SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY code in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure is as:

WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(reports_servlet||'/getjobid'||vjob_id||'?server='||report_server_name,' _blank');
ELSE
--handle errors
null;
END IF;
In the code - " hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&'|| v_report_other; " in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure above, how do i make sure that the v_report_other variable reflects the user input parameters FROM_DATE and TO_DATE ??? v_report_other is initialised as v_report_other VARCHAR2(4000) :=''; in the procedure. Will ensuring that the v_report_other contains the user input parameters FROM_DATE and TO_DATE ensure that my report will run fine for the input parameters?
Thanks in advance.

Parameter form for web report

Hello,
Using rwservlet on the web I can specify paramform=yes and I'll get a parameter form for my reports, which is really handy as it saves me from having to build my own forms. However when I run JSPs directly I cannot seem to get the automated form. Am I missing something obvious or is the parameter form just not available when you run JSPs directly?
Cheerio,
Robert

Hi Robert,
The description of the command line keyword PARAMFORM in Publishing Reports manual says:
Use PARAMFORM to specify whether to display the Runtime Parameter Form when you execute a report via CGI or a servlet. PARAMFORM is used only to supply parameters to paper layout reports, not Web source reports.
For JSP reports you need to create an HTML parameter form which calls the JSP and submits the parameters selected.
You can find Reports documentation (incl Publishing Reports here):
http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html

Passing parameters to report from current form

Hi all!
I have a problem with parameter passing from form to report. I want to display the report with the current customer id and current product id from the form. But my problem is I don't know how to pass parameters from form to report. I am a new user of oracle applications. If any one can help me, please tell me step by step what I should do because I am so new with oracle developer.
Thanks.
Sonia.

Hi,
An easy way to pass the parameters to the report from the form.
In the trigger from where u are calling the report you can write a short code there to pass on the parameters you want in the report.
declare
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAM1',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FORM_ITEM1);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAM2',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FORM_ITEM2);
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAM3',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FORM_ITEM3);
Run_Product(REPORTS,'C:\UR.RDF',(SYNCHRONOUS or ASYNCHRONOUS), RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id);
END;
For this there is an assumption that in your report you have created, 'PARAM1', 'PARAM2', 'PARAM3' as User Parameters in you data model.
I have also just now answered for your problem of setting item properties on select of a value from an LOV. Check that out too.

Chintan
