Show_document and destype = file

Hello,
I have a problem with this call:
web.show_document('http://130.45.31.50/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?server=Rep60_PROVA_ORA+report=genrcart.rep+userid=sigma/sigma@dbsvil+destype=file+desname=C:\TEMP\genrcart_130620.rrpp+P MATR=101A18Z1J273+PARAMFORM=NO+COPIA=S','self')
I obtain this message in my browser:
Report output was successfully written to requested destination.
Show_document do not open the file created on the server.
Note: It's very important for me to generate a file because I need to send same special characters to printer using ORARRP.EXE.
Thank you,
P.Guerriero

If you specify destype=file then the file is created but not returned to the browser. to get it you'll need to do one more call to web.show_document to open the specific file that was created.
The other option of course is to use destype=cache and then the output will appear in your browser.

Problem when using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT and passing in lexical parameter

Hi,
I got a blank page with error "An error has occured while trying to use this document" when I tried to use web.show_document and passing a lexical parameter to 10g report on 10gAS. The URL in the web.show_document is:
http://<srvname>:<portnum>/reports/rwservlet?server=repserver90&report=myrpt.rdf&destype=Cache&desformat=pdf&userid=<usr>/<pw>@<db>&where_clause=where%20product_type%20in%20('REPORT')
If I change the desformat to htmlcss, it is fine to display the report. But doesn't work with desformat=pdf. The pdf file has been generated in the cache. Why can't it display on the screen.
Also I tried to use double quote the value for where_clause. The pdf report showed up. But it ignored the where clause.
Experts please help.
Ying

I use lexical parameters and they work fine, but I use a parameter list. The code is contained in a form that is called by all forms that wish to run a report. This way you only need the logic for printing in a single form. If you want the form, email me at [email protected]

Calling a report with web.show_document and put pdf in temp directory

Hi,
I need to call a report 10g with web.show_document in order to generate a .pfd file (not viewed by the user) as soon as the user press a button in a form.
I have two problems. Firstly, after generate .pdf, it's opened a undesirable windows "process succefully" (I don't want that window). Secondly, in url parameter, I put:
(...)DESTYPE=File&DESFORMAT=pdf&DESNAME=' || client_win_api.get_temp_directory
the target directory to .pdf file might be the user temporary directory, and not c:\temp, because in Windows XP the user haven't some writing privileges.
How there is spaces in temporary directory, like:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Configurations\Temp
I supose that Get_temp_directory returns something that:
C:\Documen~1\<user>\Local~1\Temp
And web.show_document don't understand.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot,
medina.

Hi Maahjoor,
i have install windows xp on vmware having loop back adapter configure with ip 192.168.10.1.i am using oracle developer 10g suite and oracle 10g r2 database.
i want to call a report using the following code on a button.i have attached the report to the form.
i have started the report server by issuing rwserver server=repsrv.
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(20);
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('ALL_EXPENSES');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(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
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.10.1:8889/reports/rwservlet'||substr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
ELSE
Message('Error when running report');
END IF;
end;now when i run the command, i get this error
frm-41214: unable to run the report
frm-41219: cannot find the report.invalid id.
argument 1 to builtin run_report_object acnnot be null.
i thin the problem is with this line. WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.10.1:8889/reports/rwservlet'||substr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
can anyone help? or a better piece of code?>
I think you are mixing up the web.show_document usage for URL and with RUN_REPORT_OBJECT.
I hope you have studied this document http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/migration/frm10gsrw10g-132606.pdf . It has the required examples and code.

Closing the browser windows created by web.show_document and javascript

From Forms I am issuing a http request using web.show_document and javascript:window.open(). The http request makes a remote procedure call to a coldfusion component on a JRun appserver. I want this rpc to fire in the background so that the current forms browser window remains as is.
The logic is as follows
l_rpcURL := 'http://....just a standard URL.....'; -- edited for this thread
l_jsURL := 'javascript:window.open("' || l_rpcURL || '","","fullscreen=no,titlebar=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,resizable=no");self.close();';
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT (l_jsURL,'_blank');
The http request works fine but leaves a browser window behind. It's the one created by the javascript.window.open(). If I remove the self.close() from the javascript then I have two browser windows open, one from web.show_document and the other, as described previously, from the window.open().
Any idea how I can force closure of the window opened by the window.open() ?
Thanks

Hi,
did this occured afer installing service pack 2?
A work around is The only solution that is to create a close.html file and calling this file in the code: Web.show_document('http://server:port/close.html','_self');
<html>
<body onload="closeit()">
<script>
window.close();
</script>
</body>
</html>

Web.show_document cannot display file with Chinese char in IIS 6

Dear all,
There is a problem that web.show_document cannot display file with Chinese char in IIS 6, but works fine in IIS 5.
Is it a server problem or is there any setting in server? Do you know how to solve it?
Big Thanks
JY

Hi,
As Francois mentioned, this issue has nothing to do with forms / web.show_document. web.show_document, just opens the URL specified as parameter. So, if you run the URL (that you've passed as argument for web.show_document), directly in the browser, you would be getting the same issue.
So, as you said, if it works fine in IIS 5 and does not in IIS 6, it would be an issue with the IIS and not forms. You might want to check out the IIS 6 release notes / documentation for any known issues / raise an issue in that.

Generating Postscript file using (psl132.prt) and Text file in one go

Actually my requirement is to have soft copy , postscript files in a single shot for character mode report because the report fetches data from the table then deletes the data.
- I am able to generate softcopy, and postscript files same using distribution file for Bitmap report as shown below :-
[RWRUN REPORT=C:\Report\R_TEST.RDF userid = test / test @ test DISTRIBUTE=YES DESTINATION=C:\Report\bRep.dst   ERRFILE=C:\Report\Final\report.err
The brep.dst file for bitmap report is as follows:-
DEST1: DESNAME=C:\Report\tpdf.pdf DESTYPE=File DESFORMAT=PDF COPIES=1 LEVEL=Report
DEST2: DESNAME=C:\Report\test.prn DESTYPE=File DESFORMAT=BITMAP COPIES=1 LEVEL=Report
But in case of Char mode report i am able to generate text file but i am unable to generate postscript file for using printer definition file. The commands used are as follows :-
RWRUN REPORT=C:\Report\R_TEST.RDF userid = test / test @ test DISTRIBUTE=YES MODE=CHARACTER   DESTINATION=C:\Reports\cRep.dst ERRFILE=C:\Report\Final\report.err
The crep.dst file for char report is as follows :-
DEST1: DESNAME=C:\Report\tpdf.text DESTYPE=File DESFORMAT=ASCII   COPIES=1 LEVEL=Report
DEST2: DESNAME=C:\Report\test.prn DESTYPE=File DESFORMAT=prt132.prn COPIES=1 LEVEL=Report (This option does not work is there any work around to make it work) ]
I am getting an error. it there any work around for this or there is any other solution.
Is there any other way i convert my text file to postscript file or viceversa...thanks

Next thing is how to use it:

Don't forget: these procedures are all part of the gen_xl_xml package.
To call them from outside the package, you have to prefix each procedure name with the package name, like this:
declare
k_file constant varchar2(30) := 'YourFile.xls'
begin
gen_xl_xml.create_file(k_file);
-- Call other procedures
gen_xl_xml.close_file;
end;

Destype=file

I am able to run a *.rdf report on my 9.0.2 middle tier via rwservlet. I am able to specify destype=file and desname=/whatever/whatever and write anywhere with my report server owning/running account's permissions. This is sort of alarming --- what am I missing? I could find no discussion of this anywhere.

Hello Mike,
The issue that you are facing applies in general to any resource that your Reports Server's system account has access to. For example, the printers that a user running a report on your server can print on is determined by the permissions given to the server's account.
One way to solve this issue in general would be create a seperate user/user group with permissions to access/write to only specific resources (which includes directories, printers etc.) and run the Reports Server as this user.
Another possibility is to enforce a restriction on the DESNAME parameter in a suitable report trigger. Here, you can look at the :DESNAME system parameter entered by the user and continue/abort the report generation based on its runtime value after printing an appropriate error message.
Thanks,

In cache destype=printer pdf corrupt (?), but destype=file pdf is ok

Hi all,
S.O.: SLES 10 (Novell)
Oracle Reports 10g (StandAlone)
I want execute .rdf file vía web browser, but the more important for me is printer the result by the defined printer
for example:
http://10.142.81.153:7778/reports/rwservlet?userid=gloviajava/gloviajava@livem&destype=printer&desformat=pdf&desname=cpd81200&report=3de9.rdf
But the light of printer on but nothing printed.
When destype=file the pdf resultant is OK and I can print via 'lpr -P ...'
Anything can help me ? is very important for my work , please I hope your help.
Thank in advanced.
Manuel.

Hello,
When DESTYPE=PRINTER DESFORMAT=PDF is meaningless (the output file generated by the Reports Engine Will NOT be a PDF file)
You can check what is in the file generated by the Reports Engine in the Reports Server Cache :
by default , the Reports Server cache is in $ORACLE_HOME/reports/cache
The printer cpd81200 should be defined int he file uiprint.txt .
The PPD or HPD defined for this printer should be a PPD or HPD "matching" the printer ...

Forms developer 10g and video file

hi,
using developer forms 10g,
when user press play button, any video file is played that i want. is it possible ? any idea ? how can i do ?
thanks..

In order to play a video from a Forms you have at least two options:
1. Create a custom java bean. This could give you the ability to play the video directly in the form. This code would be completely custom, so remember that Oracle Support won't be able to assist you with it. Java bean examples can be found in the Forms Demo set or on the following third party web site:
http://forms.pjc.bean.over-blog.com/
2. If the video is accessible via a URL, you can call it from a form using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT and display it in a browser. You can also load it in a frame of the same browser hosting the form assuming you prepared for it before the form started.
3. If the video file is on the local machine, you can use WEBUTIL to call and open it. If the file is not on the local machine and you would prefer that it was rather than playing over the network, you could also use WEBUTIL to download the file locally, play it, they if desired, delete it.

Rep-3002 with DESTYPE=file

Hello,
I have two entries in my CGIcmd.dat file. The entries are pretty much identical, they just go to two different report servers, running on the same machine. Both specify destype=file desname=report.lis, and run the same report. One of them works fine, the other is throwing a Rep-3002.
REP-3002: Error initializing printer. Please make sure a printer is installed.
Any idea what is going on here and how to correct it?

Urgent - Default path of saving reports when destype = file

Hi,
When I specify the destype = file, the generated report gets
saved in the daefult directory, i.e., the orant/bin.
Now, I want to save the file on a different machine.
I understand that I can do it by specifying the desname =
path/filename.
But I cannot do this, because I don't want to show the whole
path in the URL. Moreover, I cannot give it in teh cgicmd.dat,
because the filename is not static. I want to append a time
stamp etc. to the file name. Is there some way that I can
specify teh path in cgicmd.dat and the file name in the URL?
Or,
is there an environment variable or something where I can
specify the default path where the files should be generated?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Vibha

Hi,
I tried the following:
I did not specify the desname parameter in the cgicmd.dat file
and in the After Parameter Form trigger, I have done:
Begin
:desname := 'e:\Testing.html';
I gave a desname that is not dynamic, just to test. But this,
does not set the desname. The file is still saved in teh
Orant/Bin folder. (default folder).
If I specify some desname in the cgicmd.dat file, then the file
gets saved in that path. What I have specified in the After
Parameter Form trigger does not seem to reset it.
Note: The trigger is being fired, as other things that I am
doing in the same trigger are getting executed.
Please advise.
Regards,
Vibha

answered in your other thread LR 4 suddenly no longer recognizes files.

My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy.... google...." fcpx time machine problem" Frist page link

You cannot have time machine backups on your hard drive if you intend to use it in FCPX.

After installing Mt.Lion on my 27" iMac (2010), my copy/paste and move files would no longer function after a few minutes of use. I re-opened in Safe Mode and found everything okay, so I was told it was a bad extension. Now what do I do?

I have tried to look for an extension like Air Print Activator, which I tried and ignored. I thought it might have some timing method that would stop my copying and pasting and moving files after a minutes ot two. So I re-installed the latest version and "uninstalled" it, hoping it would then remove an errant extension. But that didn't help. It seemed to start when I first tried out Mail and moving new emails into their mailboxes after reading. I tried to figure out how to do a Clean Install, too, but it would not allow me to "move" the InstallESD.dmg to a USB disk, "resource busy". Everyway I turn, I'm blocked from carrying out a method of finding the culprit, short of starting from scratch -- but losing years and years of mail, files, receipts, etc. It's just too much to sacrifice. I have no idea what to do next, since I have no idea what extension is causing it or how to isolate and destroy it. Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

You can try repairing the boot drive, Since you are running OS 10.6.8 you will need the OS DVD. Do you have it?
Please post back if you do, and need directions on how to do the disk repair.
