can anybody tell me why?
Oracle reports team help me
Thanks

Hi herbe
If you are Reports 6i, you need to apply the sqlnet patches to resolve this issue. The patch details are:
1. Sqlnet One-off 8.0.6.3 1554201 available on Solaris
2. Sqlnet one-off 8.0.6.3 1554201 for Sun SPARC Solaris
On Metalink, you can find the one-off for other platforms for this respective fix.
Thanks

Run_report_object is not working

Hi everyone
I am trying to convert my 6i reports into 9i.
I have added into a report object node in my form all necessary objects. In procedure i call run_report_object and got error 'REP-0503 You did not specify the name of the report' .
Here is my code(obviousely i am missing something)
report_id Report_Object;
report_job_id VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
v_report_module := v_report_path || v_report_file_name;
report_id := find_report_object(v_report_file_name);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,PREVIEW);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_FILENAME,v_report_file_name);
set_report_object_property(report_id, report_other, 'paramform=no');
report_job_id := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT
(report_id, pl_id) ;
END;
Thanks everyone in advance

You have to specify a report object name in your Forms module and you pass in that name as a parameter to find_report_object function call.

Print html report

Hi ,
In oracle forms 11g, I have a text field that includes html tags.
I crate a report in report builder 11g, selecting html text from database.
When I run the report using the
     set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, CACHE);
     set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ........
It gives me the html page ok.
When I send the report to printer it prints also the html tags e.g. <body> <b>my text ..........<b> </body>.
     set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
     set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, PRINTER);
     set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT,'HTML');
     set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_DESNAME,myprintername);
     set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_SERVER,servername);
Set_Report_Object_Property(report_id, REPORT_OTHER, 'paramform=no');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
Can anyone help ?

Hello,
I think that you need to configure your browser, can you take a look a this article:

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"');

Thanks Frank,
I like the white paper base on that i am able to run report as below.
declare
report_id Report_Object;
ReportServerJob VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
report_id:= find_report_object('REPORT3');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_FILENAME,'C:\APPLICATION\employeerep.rdf');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_execution_MODE,runtime);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,'REPORTSERVER');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,cache);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESformat,'htmlcss');
ReportServerJob:=run_report_object(report_id);
END;
But the output is generating inside cache directory.
In the white paper its mentioning that if you want to see output before it print then use DESTTYPE= cache and Dest Format= htmlcss as u can see that i had metion the same still i am not able to get the result on screen why ? and how can i do that ?
again i had read in white paper its saying that if you want paramform before report then metion paramform=yes in other parameter i had did that as below
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=yes');
but after this i am geting parameterform as a output in cache.
Please help me on this.

RUN_REPORT_OBJECT does not return a value

I am using Reports 6i (via web browser) on an Oracle 8 database.
We have just recreated our entire development database. When running a report from a form, the web browser pops up with a blank screen. No changes has been done to the code. None of the reports now work on our dev environment.
However, I have now found that RUN_REPORT_OBJECT is not retirning a value. What would cause RUN_REPORT_OBJECT not to return a value?
My code behind the button on the form that calls the report is as follows:
          report_id := find_report_object('nl4689');
          f_file_name := :illprint.report_number||'.lis';
          html_file_name := :illprint.report_number||'.html';
          set_report_object_property(report_id,report_execution_mode,batch);
          set_report_object_property(report_id,report_comm_mode,synchronous);
          set_report_object_property(report_id,report_destype,file);
          set_report_object_property(report_id,report_desname,:global.user_home_dir||f_file_name);
          set_report_object_property(report_id, report_other,
          'p_branch='||:b1.branch_code||
          ' p_class='||:b1.p_class);
     report_job_id := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
          host('txt2htmlhpux '||:global.user_home_dir||f_file_name||' > '||:global.user_home_dir||html_file_name);
          web.show_document(:global.user_home_dir||html_file_name,'_BLANK');
Thanks

That is set correctly. All these applications were working fine. We only have this issue after re-building our development environment.
I have personally run the application and noticed that there are error messages as well.
When getting the report id from RUN_REPORT_OBJECT, the following error appears
REP-0004: Warning: Unable to open user preference file.
Immeditely followed by:
REP-3002: Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed.

Please help, i am struggling for almost 1 month. Report server works fine.
The code work up to the line ReportServerJob := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id) and then it hangs.

there seems error in your statement
change this
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||vjob_id||'?server='||vc_reportserver||',_blank');to
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||vjob_id||'?server='||vc_reportserver,'_blank');

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?';

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.

Calling a report from forms with a paramter form

Hello,
How do you call a report from forms and get it to display the parameter form. Where you can then call the report using this parameter form. I have been using paramform=yes. but it simply runs the form.
I saw on a a thread ages ago that this was a sample of this available for download. Is this true?
thanks

Here is my code sorry about posting twice. Please note that the parameter list has been created as described.
report_id := find_report_object('MENU_REPORT_NODE');
Tool_Env.Getvar('ReportsServer', reports_server);
Tool_Env.Getvar('ReportsFolder', reports_folder);
dest_file := reports_folder || :global.username || '\' || rep_name || '.pdf';
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_FILENAME, rep_name);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_SERVER, reports_server);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS); -- wait for the report to finish
-- SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESNAME, dest_file);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, cache);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'PDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_OTHER, 'paramform=yes' || ' ' || 'mode=bitmap');
report_job := run_report_object(report_id);

CMDKEY Key Mapping Parameter Problem - Please HELP !!!

Hello !
I try to call a Report from Forms by using a keymap File ! I use IAS Forms and Report 10.1.2 and the Oracle Developer 10.1.2)
My Keymap settings are correct
The activated Parameters in rwservlet.properties are
RELOAD_KEYMAP=YES
KEYMAPFILE=CGICMD.DAT
OID_ENTITY=%REPORTS_OID_ENTITY%
SERVER=rep_asmic3
The CGICMD.dat file includes the keymap
telefon: server=rep_asmic3 destype=cache desformat=pdf desname=CGICMD userid=test/test@db102 %*
The WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger contains following code:
declare
vjob_id VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(40);
report_id Report_Object;
ReportServerJob varchar(100);
begin
report_id:= find_report_object('telefonliste');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no cmdkey=telefon');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,'REP_asmic3');
ReportServerJob := run_report_object(report_id);

vjob_id := substr(ReportServerJob,length(report_server)+8,length(ReportServerJob));
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||vjob_id,'_blank');
end if
end;
If I try to run the report from a form I get a FRM-41214 Error. It seems, that the keymap file is not loaded ! How come ?
If I call the Report with the Keymap File directly from a Browser everything works fine:
http://<hostname>.<domain>.local:7778/reports/rwservlet?telefon&report=telefonliste.rdf&userid=test/test@db102
Please help ! Do you have a clue ?
Thanks

Hi,
I get an error frm-41214:unable to connect to the report server when i am trying to call a report from a form using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT.
My code is as follows:
I have created a simple report using employee table such tht when i give the department number as parameter it should get the corresponding details along with that i also have highlited the system parameters:
DESFORMAT

Then tried to run the form but i got this error frm-41213 unable to connect to the report server.
Any one please help me.

Running report from forms

hi,
I am having problems in running report from form.
I am using oracle 9i on windows 2000 server and no 9iAS at the moment. On client side, i have windows xp and 9iDS installed. I want to run report from forms in 9iDS testing environment.
my forms are running ok but now i need to run report. so what i have done is that i have created a report object in form and following are enteries present in it at the moment.
Name REPORT7
FileName D:\Projects\IBMR\forms\soil_water_quality_data.rdf
Execution Mode Batch
Communication Mode Synchronous
Destination Type Cache
Report Server 9irep
and in when_button_pressed trigger
DECLARE
Report_Id REPORT_OBJECT;
Report_Job_Id VARCHAR2(20);
Report_Status VARCHAR2(80);
Report_Svr VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
Report_Id := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('REPORT7');
Report_Svr := '9irep';
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(Report_Id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(Report_Id,REPORT_FILENAME, '\projects\ibmr\forms\soil_water_quality_data.rdf');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(Report_Id,REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(Report_Id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(Report_Id,REPORT_OTHER, 'paramform=no');
Report_Job_Id := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(Report_Id);
Report_Status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(Report_Job_Id);
WHILE Report_Status IN ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') LOOP
Report_Status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(Report_Job_Id);
END LOOP;
IF Report_Status = 'FINISHED' then
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(Report_job_id,instr(Report_Job_Id,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=9irep','_blank');
else
message ('report server failed with error message '||report_status);
END IF;
END;
i have installed report server with following command
rwserver -install 9irep
i have changed entry in rwservlet.properties like
SINGLESIGNON=NO and i have removed the following entire block of 9irep.conf, which i have read from some documentation

i get the following error message when i run my form
frm-41214 Unable to run report
and then next message is
frm-41217 unable to get report job status
i debugged the report id and it is
9irep_0
returned by Report_Job_Id := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(Report_Id);
When I checked the Report Queue Manager
it is showing status like
(9irep)Terminated with error
and detail it shows is
Unable to connect to the specified database.
Now I am wondering what to do next.
any suggestions???????

Hello,
From your description, it seems like the report is faling due to a database authentication problem. When you run your report from Forms, Forms internally passes the its database connection information to Reports automatically. So ensure that you are connected to a valid database in Forms, before the report is called.
Please verify whether a simple report which does not require a database connection, for example, a report containing only a boilerplate text object, is running correctly. Also, in the trigger code that you have specified, you should add the following:
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(Report_Id, REPORT_DESTYPE, CACHE);
so that the report output gets generated to the server cache, and can be retrieved using rwservlet/getjobid.
Thanks,

REP-300 Error while running report using App Server

Hi,
I am currently trying to run a report using the Application Server.
This report is being called from a form.
I am able to connect to the report server and all configurations seems to be correct.
But when I execute the report from the form, I am getting error "Unable to run report"
When I look at the error message in the Report Server queue, I find
"REP-300 Table or View does not exist.."
But that table does exist in the database.
What could be be the problem ?
Please help.
The code in the form that calls the report is
report_id := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT( report_name );
vc_user_name:=get_application_property(username);
vc_user_password:=get_application_property(password);
vc_user_connect:=get_application_property(connect_string);
vc_connect:=vc_user_name||'/'||vc_user_password||'@'||vc_user_connect;
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id ,REPORT_OTHER, 'paramform=yes p_user_connect='||vc_connect ||' p_servername=repsrv'||' p_action=<host>/reports/rwservlet?' );
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id, parmlist_id);

The report is working perfectly fine when I run it from the Report Builder. I get the correct output.
I am getting this error when I try to run the report through a Report server.
I run the form from the Forms 10g builder. This form has a button "Run Report". When I click on the button the report is run using the Report server.
This is when I get the error.
There are other forms that are also called via the same form. Those work fine. The only difference between those forms and this one is that this one has user parameters passed to it. This one also has an attached library attached to it.
The code in the Form to call the report is
report_id := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT( report_name );
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, FILE);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'pdf');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_SERVER, 'rep-vena01-xp');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id, parmlist_id );
v_jobid := substr( v_rep, length( v_reportserver) + 2, length(v_rep) );
v_repstatus := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS( v_rep );
IF ( v_repstatus = 'FINISHED' ) THEN
v_url := '/reports/rwservlet/getjobid' || v_jobid || '?server=' || v_reportserver ;
web.show_document( v_url, '_BLANK' );
END IF;

FRM-41214

Hi all,
When calling a report from a form through the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT built in, the report does not run and the error 'FRM-41214 - Unable to run report' is being shown. Also, the return value for the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT command is <reportservername)_-2. When will this value be returned by the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT command. Should some report server setting be changed to correct this error.
Other details: Using Oracle Reports 6i; The Report has a Parameter list which is also passed to the above command along with the Report ID.
I've attached the code for the same herewith:
report_id := find_report_object(RepNm);
IF error_code = '41219' THEN
Message('Unable to execute : '|| RepNm);
Raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;
End;
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_FILENAME, RepNm);

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
IF UPPER(PDESTYPE) = 'P' THEN
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE,PRINTER);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESNAME,Init.Appl_Printer);

ELSIF UPPER(pOrientation) = 'P' THEN
set_report_object_property(report_id, REPORT_OTHER,'ORIENTATION='||'PORTRAIT');
END IF;
Begin
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id,pparameter);
Exception
When Others Then
Message('Error While executing running reports ::'||error_code);
End;
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 UPPER(pDESTYPE) != 'P' THEN
Web.show_document('http://'||Init.Appl_Server||'/dev60cgi/rwcgi60/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,length(Init.Appl_RepServer))||'?server='||Init.Appl_RepServer);
END IF;
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Vidya.

Hi
1)
>>
"getjobid'||substr(v_rep,length(Init.Appl_RepServer))||'?server='||Init.Appl_RepServer"
<<
This is for 9i
For 6i
Web.show_document (/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe/getjobid=||v_rep||'?server=vc_reportserver,'_blank');
(Where v_rep is the return status from RUN_REPORT_OBJECT() call )
2) Refer Forms reports integration paper for 6i
http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms/pdf/277282.pdf
(See page 20)
You can see this document to see if you have missed anything else.
Other suggestions
This error can occur in following cases
2) DESFORMAT or DESNAME or both of these parameters are empty.
Looks like for your case it is fine (But just confirm yourself)
3) DESTYPE is specified as SCREEN or PREVIEW
Looks like for your case it is fine (But just confirm yourself)
4) A parameter passed contains a space
If parameter contains space(s), enclose parameter in single quotes
(A) Ensure that your reports server is running
(B) Run report using 6i client (rwcli60) and ensure that it runs fine.(That way we can see if the issue is with report itself or Forms-Reports integration code
Thanks
