Running Reports Through a Browser

Hi,
I am using NT 4 with SP3 and Netscape 4.6. I am trying to run
reports through the URL in my browser, but every time I try to
make a call it asks me to download rwcgi60.exe instead of running
it. The virtual mapping settings work, since I can open other
files through them. I think I may need to set up a MIME type
since I am running this through WebDB but I don't know how set
that up. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Bill Pyne

Run reports through browser on local machine

Hi,
I am trying to run 6i reports through a web browser. I have
installed 6i and the reports server on a local machince. I have
configured the reports server and can get it to start.
In order for me to run reports on my local machine through a web
browser do i need a web server ?
I am in my final year @ university, if i need a web server can i
use personal web server ?
The purpose of running them through a browser is only for a demo
for my final year project.
Oracle team : any chance you could host my report ? LOL
Thanks in advance for ANY help,
Russell.

Hi,
If you have installed the 6i Base Release i.e (6.0.8.8.0) version
then the WEBDB Listener comes with the 6i CD. When you install
it automatically get installed also.
In that case you don't need to have the web server. You can
call the report on web using the following URL:
http://host:port/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?report=<reportname>&otherparame
ters.
Here Host and port specifies that machine name and port number
where your webDB listener is installed.
In your case it will be your local machine. By default the
port on which the WebDB is installed is 80.
You can use any web server also, thing is that web server should
support the CGI implementation.
In case of more info you can update this posting.
Hope this helps
cheers

ERROR WHILE RUNNING REPORT THROUGH FORMS.....!

hi all,
ive designed one form in Forms 9i...I'm tryin to run report through a Push button .....report is running well in paper layout through report builder 9i...The problem I'm facing is dat when i pressed button it is giving me error initially as FRM-41214 cannot run report and after that FRM-40735 When button pressed unhandled exception ora-06502.....What could go wrong??... Ive started OC4J instance ....created report object in object nevigator as well and defined basic properties for diff.parameters HTMLCSS,CACHE..etc.,mentioned report path in complete i.e.c:\reports\genbill.rdf ...Can anybody help me out ??? Thnx.!
-----------------------CODE ON BUTTON----------------------------------
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('REPORT5');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
/*Display report in the browser*/
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('<HOSTNAME>:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=myrepserver','_blank');
ELSE
message('Error when running report');
END IF;
PAUSE;
END;

When a report terminates with an error, REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS returns the value "TERMINATED_WITH_ERROR", which is 21 bytes of data, but rep_status is defined as 20 bytes. The 6502 error is due to the data not fitting the variable.
I recommend wrapping the REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS function with a SUBSTR that limits the data returned to 20 bytes, which will ensure the results fit.
For example:
rep_status := SUBSTR(REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep), 1, 20);

When i run report through OC4J Application i get a exception message

When i run report through OC4J Application i get a exception message saying Server returning invalid xml and the exception number is JBO -29000. The Reports Server is installed on machine having IP 10.191.99.254.
Below is the exception message:
(oracle.jbo.JboException) JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.JboException, msg=JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: java.io.IOException, msg=Server returned HTTP response code: 500 for URL: http://10.191.99.254:8888/reports/rwservlet/showjobidnull
Anybody Please help me out with this issue.....because I am really fed up with this problem....want some urgent help.....
One possible workaround which I could make out is there needs change to be made in the .rdf files in Report Builder and then inside the User Parameters we change the Initial Value to * from % because the Reports Server encodes every value as %Initial_Value% and hence if the initial value for the parameter is % then it does not get a valid value and hence it returns as an invalid xml
But unfortunately it seems this workaround does not work.Please help as soon as possible.

Hi,
you said that some changes were made in the .xml files but i had said that all the files present in Reports Developer or Reports Builder are .rdf files and I had made changes in the .rdf files for this articular report and then compiled it thereitself and then ran a paper layout of the report but the report did not comprise any data.
There was sufficient data also to populate the report. So this may not be a database issue. Please help if you can ASAP.

Running reports on web browser

We here in HCL Technologies are in the process of deploying Dev
2000 applications on Oracle Web Application Server 3.0 installed
on Window NT 4.0 Server.
I have couple of problems which i am reporting to you & i would
like to seek solution for the same.
1. I am able to create/configure report cartidge and to run
simple reports giving output file of size 20kb. The report is
running & getting displayed on the web browser.
But, if the report output is somewhere in the range of 500 or
more KB, than it is observed that full report output file is
generated in the cache directory, but it is not displayed on the
screen, instead a error "Internal error Try Again " is displayed.
Here are some specifications which might help you resolve this
problem
(A) We are using destype=cache, desformat=html
(B) Our NT Server is having a memory (RAM) of 96 MB.
2. Before running the report we want to display the parameter
form for our report, so that the user can input the required
variable parameters. But, instead it is allowing to pass the
parameters through our URL, which is not desirable.
Please, help us in resolving these problems at the earliest.
Awaiting your response.
Regards,
Navneet

Navneet,
I can't help with problem 1, but I cna help with problem 2. If
you are using html files with links to the reports, you can use
the form tag to create the equivalent of the parameter form.
Example:
<form action="http://mot.com/r30ows">
Select the Vendor for which you would like to see contacts for
<input type="hidden" name="server" value="repserver">
<input type="hidden" name="report" value="contact">
<input type="hidden" name="userid" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="destype" value="cache">
<input type="hidden" name="desformat" value="html">
<select name="v_id">
<option value="1">Computer Discount Warehouse</option>
<option value="2">Micro Warehouse</option>
<option value="3">CompUSA</option>
<option value="4">Oracle Corp.</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="Run Report">
</form>
V_id in this example is a user defined parameter.
Hope this has helped you.

Running Reports Through Discoverer

Discoverer is a new product to me, I understand it is a ad hoc reporting tool but how does it intergrate with Oracle Reports? Can I run an Oracle Report through discoverer or does the user always have to build their own? I want to be able to make some basic reports available to users and allow them to run thier own as well. Any comments or suggestions would be a great help.
Thanks
Laura

Hey Chris,
currently we are not using any version of discover. We are implementing the banner Finance product from SCT and were hoping that their product Web For finance would solve our need for running reports across the web but it looks like it may not. Currently we don't have an adhoc reporting tool, so I am trying to find out as much info as possible about the product. Right now for us to run oracle Reports we need to use Citrix Server or Terminal server, however with the Reports server and this Discover tool i was hoping to move away from all this and run all of them over the web. I was hoping that I would be able to use some of my prepared Oracle reports inside discover either as templates or have them as options with the discover reports.
Any help would be great! I guess I need someone to point me in the right direction so I can ask more pointed questions =)
Thanks!
laura

Nevertheless I have to say that I've never used it for Application Server (I normally use Oracle Linux).

Running reports through Forms server using run_report_object produces no output.

I am running a non-parameterized report from forms on the forms server using run_report_object. The parameters being passed to the reports server through the property palette are
file name = blr_ndc_005
execution mode= RUNTIME
communication mode = ASYNCHRONOUS
destype= SCREEN
desformat=
desname=
report server= REP60_9IAS
although the report ran successfully there is no output being displayed in any browser window. Though when i change the destype parameter to 'FILE' the report runs successfully and the file is generated.
I want similar functionality to the web.show_document built-in but the purpose is to hide the username and password.
I would be very grateful if anyone could help me in this regard or let me know if this is not possible.
Thanking in anticipation,
Majid.

please check the reports and forms integration paper on otn to see the correct way to get your output from the report.

How to run report through form

dear friends
i have a problum i craeted a report and i want when i press the button
the report dispalyed
please send me the code for that i tried lot but not succesed
or any possible help
thanks in advance
regards
Vikas Singhal

Vikas,
What have you tried so far. Could you give us a code example? Also, what version of Forms and Reports are you using? Forms 6i through Forms 10g have the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT() built-in which is the recommended way to run a report, however you can also use the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT() built-in to call a report. There are examples of how to use both in the Forms Help system.

Run report through internet explorer

When I click on run web layout in reports builder 10g internet explorer does not come up at all. It tries to do something because I see the hour glass and then it just stops. The paper layout works fine. But the web layout is not running. I have the OC4J running. If anybody can help me I will apprecaite it. Thanks

So you are running forms from netscape and want to view report output in IE?
It seems that netscape is set as your default browser. In IE you can set a flag so that it alsways checks for being the default browser (see Internet Options/Programs, at the bottom). Check this flag and restart IE. It should then prompt you if it is not the default browser.

UCCX/CUIC 10.5 - Default filter error when trying to run reports through dashboard

I'm new to CUIC. We just upgraded UCCX to 10.5.1 this past weekend, and I'm working on building a dashboard to replace the old wallboard that was custom written by our integrator previously. When I add the live report for CSQ Detail (example...name may be a little off), it displays the options you would expect in the dashboard designer. When I create a permalink and attempt to run it, it throws an error about not having a default filter specified...what should I be looking for to setup the default filter?
I've been looking through the user guide, but can't find anything specific around default filters.
Thanks all
SJ

Click on the header for the "Reports" drawer to open the "Available Reports" tab. Find the report you are trying to permalink and right click -> Edit. Click the "Edit Default Filter" button in the top left or bottom left and you can create and save a default filter for the report.

when text item clicked on the address bar of internet explorer it gives url as
http://admin1:8888/reports/rwservlet?server=repsrvadmin1htmlcss=htmlcssCache=cache&report=C:\makess\purchase\reports\final_rating_det_order.rdf01=:comp_code
&desformat=htmlcss it takes syntax
htmlcss=htmlcss
and
&destype=cache it takes as
Cache=cache
&comp_code=:comp_code
01=:comp_code
