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,

Call report from forms6i, use report server from 10gAS

Hi there,
I have been searching for any info I can get that will help me to do the following:
I want to call an Oracle 6i report from Forms6i but I want to specify a Report Server running on an Oracle10gAS box. Can this be done in a client/server fashion, meaning the forms/reports are on a Citrix box, accessed by many users.
Everything is working fine, using "RUN_PRODUCT" and the "Report Background Engine" to generate the report on the Citrix box. However, I want to use the report server from 10gAS runinng on another box, to generate these reports.
Please reply with any help you give.
Regards
shak

Hello,
You can use the compatible element in the reports server configuration file :
Description
The compatible element is available for backward compatibility with Oracle Reports 6i clients (RWCLI60.EXE, RWCGI60.EXE, RWQMU60.EXE, RWRQM60.EXE, RWRQV60.EXE, 6i Forms). When compatible is set to 6i, Reports Server will make use of an executable file named rwproxy that listens for requests from a 6i client and forwards them to a 10g server.

Can I use Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table API to retrieve past jobs ?

Hi all,
Can I use Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table API to retrieve past jobs using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT from Forms ?
I have reviewed note 72531.1 about using this feature and wonder if i can use this metadata to retrieve past jobs submitted by a user.
The idea would be to have a form module that can filter data from the rw_server_queue table, say, base on user running the form, and be able to retrieve past jobs from Report Server Queue. For this, one would query this table and use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT.
Is this possible ...?
Regards, Luis ...!

Based on that metalink note and the code in the script rw_server.sql, I am pretty sure that by querying the table you would be able accomplish what you want... I have not tested it myself... but it looks that it will work... you have the jobid available from the queue, so you can use web.show_document to retrieve the output previously generated...
ref:
-- Constants for p_status_code and status_code in rw_server_queue table (same as zrcct_jstype)
UNKNOWN CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 0; -- no such job
ENQUEUED CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 1; -- job is waiting in queue
OPENING CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 2; -- opening report
RUNNING CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 3; -- running report
FINISHED CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 4; -- job has finished
TERMINATED_W_ERR CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 5; -- job has terminated with

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.

Sending message from PL/SQL procedure to form

Hello Friends,
How can I send messages from PL/SQL procedure to Form ?
Ultimate target is catching progress of PL/SQL procedure from
form. I heard about DBMS_PIPe but not sure,.
Adi

Hello,
Yeah , I got the solution using DBMS_PIPE function,I
followed following steps.
1. Pipe is created. see below procedure.
create or replace procedure proc_testpipe as
     v_pipe_integer          integer;
     v_pipe_message          integer;
begin
     v_pipe_integer := DBMS_PIPE.Create_Pipe('adipipe');
     dbms_pipe.pack_message('Hello Adinath Kamode,Message
     from Pipe');
     v_pipe_message := dbms_Pipe.Send_message('adipipe');
     end;
end;
2. then I created one Function which will obtain message from
Pipe and
will return value to form.
create or replace function proc_callpipe return varchar2 as
v_msg          integer;
v_rem          integer;
v_message          varchar2(500);
begin
v_msg:=dbms_pipe.receive_message('adipipe');
dbms_pipe.unpack_message(v_message);
dbms_pipe.purge('adipipe');
v_rem := dbms_pipe.remove_pipe('adipipe');
return(v_message);
end;
3. Last I called this function from form.
Cheers .. !

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)

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.
Note : When I paste the code here I loose the indentation. So the code below is not indented properly.
DECLARE
r NUMBER := 0 ; --- r IS the ROW NUMBER IN this excel file
l_sum NUMBER ;
BEGIN
--- Generate the styles that we need
gen_xl_xml.create_excel( 'UTL_DIR','master_Detail.xls') ;
gen_xl_xml.create_style( 'dept_title' , 'Arial', 'Red',14, p_backcolor => 'LightGray' );
gen_xl_xml.create_style( 'sgs2' , 'Arial', NULL ,10, p_bold => TRUE );
gen_xl_xml.create_style( 'sgs3' , 'Arial', 'blue',14 );
gen_xl_xml.create_style( 'sgs4' , 'Arial', 'green',14 );
gen_xl_xml.create_style( 'emp_title' , 'Arial', 'Black',9, p_backcolor => 'LightBlue' );
gen_xl_xml.create_style( 'sal_tot' , 'Arial', 'Brown',13, p_backcolor => 'Yellow' );
-- SET ANY COLUMN AND ROW changes
gen_xl_xml.set_column_width( 3, 145 );
gen_xl_xml.set_column_width( 4, 145 );
l_sum := 0 ;

r := r +1 ;
gen_xl_xml.write_cell_char( r, 4, 'Department Total ->' , 'sal_tot' );

l_sum := 0;
END if ;
r := r+1 ;

Creating web service from pl/sql procedure

Hello.
I need to create a web service from pl/sql procedure and i chose JDeveloper for this implementation. I have wsdl, but I never created web services. So, I created web service with document/literal message format.
But I have several troubles:
1. All element names have lower case letters.
2. The SOAP envelope must begin from words soapenv:Envelope but i have soap:Envelope.
3. And operation name has tail like "Element".
I know bad way for implement 1 and 3 points. It's a modification of java_wsdl_mapping.xml and wsdl files. But if I want to add new method to my service all changes will be cleaned. It's not critical but inconvenient to support.
But for point 3 i have no ideas.
This task is very important for me. Can somebody help me?
JDeveloper 10.1.3.3

Returing array from PL/SQL procedure

Hi,
I am trying to return array from PL/SQL procedure. Heres is the code. I am getting an error "OracleParameter.ArrayBindSize is invalid ".
Will anybody let me know what is wrong in following code. or does anybody have code to return PL/SQL array using VB.NET.
oCommand.CommandText = "MyPack.TestVarchar2"
oCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim id As Integer = 10
Dim deptname As String()
Dim oParam1 As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter = New Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter("id", Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDbType.Int32)
Dim oParam2 As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter = New Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleParameter("deptname", Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDbType.Varchar2)
oParam1.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
oParam2.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
oParam1.CollectionType = Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCollectionType.None
oParam2.CollectionType = Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCollectionType.PLSQLAssociativeArray
oParam1.Value = id
oParam2.Value = ""
oParam1.Size = 10
oParam2.Size = 20
oCommand.Parameters.Add(oParam1)
oCommand.Parameters.Add(oParam2)
oCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
Thanks
Sameer

Thanks Arnold for the reply..
Yes, I am trying to get result set in array which is unknow to me (No of rows return by the query). For the test I will pre-define the result set so that I will able to set ArrayBindSize.
I have read C# example but when I try to write it in VB.NET it gives me syntax error when I try to set the ArrayBindSize.
oParam.ArrayBindSize = new int[3]{15,23,13} // individual max size of 3 outputsWill you please let me know how to set ArrayBindSize (VB.NET) because I am new to this..
There is an example at otn "How to: Bind an Array to an ODP.NET Database Command" which does multiple INSERTs in one trip to database. This works fine. I need to do same for the SELECT statement which will return me multiple rows. I do not mean refCursor. If I use refCursor, it will make soft parse which I am trying to avoid using this Array techniq.
Thanks

How to start a report on the reports server from a pl/sql procedure

Can I use the package utl_http and if yes, how?

Hi,
Before this you have to prepare your internal table with tab delimeter structure with data.
data: wa_appl_title like line of appl_title.
       concatenate fhdr '/file_details_'
                    sy-datum '_' sy-uzeit '.txt' into fhdr.
*MOD01 - start.
       open dataset fhdr for output in text mode." ENCODING DEFAULT.
        open dataset fhdr for output in text mode ENCODING DEFAULT.
*MOD01 - end.
        if sy-subrc = 0.
          clear wa_appl_title.
          read table appl_title into wa_appl_title index 1.
          if sy-subrc = 0.
            transfer wa_appl_title to fhdr.
          endif.
          loop at appl_it.
            transfer appl_it to fhdr.
          endloop.
          close dataset fhdr.
          write: / text-t05.
        else.
          write: / text-t04.
        endif.
After this you view in AL11 tranx.
let us know any thing else you need.
