Showing Parameter form in web browser
I have created a parameter form which contains some restricted List of values need to be choosed by the user before printing the report.
I done this by putting the keyword ParamForm=Yes in the URL. The parameter form shows with all the parameter fields and the list of values in HTML format together with two buttons : SUBMIT QUERY and RESET which is generated by the report. After all the values has been entered, the SUBMIT QUERY button was press the the report server return an error:
Oracle Reports Server CGI - Key "" is unrecognized. Possible causes: bad URL syntax; key in URL was not found in the key map file
Why this will happen?
Hi,
No, I don't think is the problem with the cgicmd file. This problem will only occured when I calling the report paramater form by putting the key PARAMFORM=YES IN in the URL.
But if I by-pass the parameter form by puttinh the key PARAFORM=NO and include all the parameters needed in the URL, the report server can map the key and run the report successfully!
I think the problem is the submit Query button which was generated automatically by the report. How does the submit Query button works?
For eg. I type the report URL with the key that I have created in the cgicmd file :
http://webHost:webPort/cgi-bin/RWcgi60?Key1
and inside the cgicmd.dat file is like this:
Key1: report=Report.rdf userid=eb/eb@eagledb server=Rep60_EAGLEW2K PARAMFORM=YES destype=cache desformat=htmlcss
then, the report server will automactically generate a parameter form in HTML format together with the SUBMIT QUERY button and RESET button to allow user to enter the parameters. Once the parameters has been entered, and the button SUBMIT QUERY button being pressed, the report will return this error.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Display Report Parameter Form on Web Browser
I have prepared a report (with a user parameter form )using Report Developer. Then I call the report in a web-based application through the web-browser. the parameter form display normally, except that there are two buttons on the top : submit and return. Also, the layout of the parameter form is not consistent with the style of my application.
1. Can I customized the layout of the parameter form so that it can have consistent style with my web-based program ? If yes, how?
2. Can I suppress the buttons shown on the parameter form ?
(Our Report Server is 9iAS )Hi
Reports built-in parameter form is deliberately fairly simple in capabilities (otherwise, you'd have all the functionality of Forms inside of Reports). However, with JSPs in Reports 9i, you can go farther to create a custom parameter form of your own liking.
Thanks

Show parameter form and then print directly to client printer
I have few reports that show parameter form for user entry. After the user enters the parameter and hits Submit query, the report should automatically get printed on the client's default printer. I tried to use ORARRP but I could get that to work only for reports do not open parameter form before going directly to the printer. Can someone please guide me how to achieve this?
Thanks!I would like it to go to the client PCs default printer. Can you please tell me how do I do that?

Not getting Reports Parameter Form in web-forms environ
I am not able to get a report parameter form to appear for a
report called from forms via a 'run_product' command. It works
fine in client/server mode. In web-forms the report just goes
ahead and runs without the needed parameters. I have tried
explicitly passing a parameter list with the 'paramform' set to
'yes' and this did nothing. I have this on a NT box with latest
Dev2 patches applied.
1. Is the reports parameter form supposed to work in web-forms
mode?
2. How do you set it up to work, if it is supposed to work?
Thanks for any replies.
nullI guess you have to use web.show_document - I found this article
on DevConnect:
Article-ID: <Note:68647.1>

Subject: How to show Reports HTML PARAMFORM when
calling Reports
from Forms
Modified-Date: 09-AUG-1999 18:02:04
Document-Type: BULLETIN
Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN
Impact: MEDIUM
Component: SQLREP
PURPOSE:
This bulletin explains how to overcome the current restriction
of calling an Oracle Report from Oracle Forms and showing a
PARAMETER FORM. This is currently not possible when using the
RUN_PRODUCT built-in with
WEB DEPLOYED APPLICATIONS.
DESCRIPTION:
When you call an Oracle Report from Oracle Forms using
RUN_PRODUCT in Client-server, you can specify an optional
parameter called PARAMFORM to display the parameter form defined
in the Oracle Report.
For web-deployed applications, the PARAMFORM parameter can be
set to HTML to produce a HTML version of the parameter form.
When calling Oracle Reports from an Oracle Form using
RUN_PRODUCT and specifying PARAMFORM=HTML in the parameter list,
the Oracle Reports parameter form doesn't show the in the client
browser. If the Oracle Reports Cartridge/CGI is used and
PARAMFORM=HTML is specified, then the Oracle Reports parameter
form does appear in the client browser.
Oracle Forms does not use either the Cartridge or the CGI with
RUN_PRODUCT, and it's these thin clients that produce the HTML
Oracle Reports parameter form.
As a workaround to this problem, you can use either the
Cartridge or the CGI with the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT Oracle Forms
builtin. This does require either the Oracle Reports Cartrige
or the CGI to be installed. Neither of these are necessary if
the parameter form isn't required.
INSTRUCTIONS:
The following items need to be installed:
1. Oracle Reports Multi-tier Server.
2. Oracle Reports Web Cartridge
or
Oracle Reports Web CGI.
Here is a typical URL that can be specified in a browser
to run a report using Oracle Reports Cartridge implementation:
http://your_webserver/r30ows?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+
destype=cache+desformat=html+userid=scott/tiger@mydb+paramform=ht
ml
For CGI implementation:
http://your_webserver/your_vir_cgi_dir/r30cgi32.exe?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+destype=cache+desformat=html
userid=scott/tiger@mydbparamform=html
The Oracle Reports parameter form now is shown. This can be
used with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT issuing the request to execute the
report to the Oracle Reports Multi-Tier Server instead of using
RUN_PRODUCT.
The following code may be added to a program unit, which then
issues the request to run the report:
IF get_application_property(user_interface) = 'WEB' then
/* Use Cartridge configuration with WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT. */
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://your_webserver/r30ows?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+destype=cache+desformat=html
userid=scott/tiger@mydbparamform=html', '_self');
/* OR for CGI configuration. */
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
('http://your_webserver/your_vir_cgi_dir/r30cgi32.exe?
server=repserver21+report=emp_30.rep+destype=cache+desformat=html
userid=scott/tiger@mydbparamform=html', '_self');
ELSE
/* use RUN_PRODUCT for client-server with PARAMFORM=Yes. */
Add_Parameter(plid, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'YES');
RUN_PRODUCT
(REPORTS,'emp_30.rep',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,plid);
END;

Prompting SaveAs when Form in Web Browser is closed.
Hi All,
I'm configuring with LiveCycle Designer 7.1 on LiveCycle Forms 7.1 server.
If a saved form is opened and changed in Adobe Reader 7 with Reader Extensions enabled, Reader prompts users to save their PDF form when they close their form (i.e. with the standard x on the top right hand corner of a window).
We would like the same prompt to appear for a freshly-rendered form the user sees within a web browser session when the form is about to close. It would be good if we can avoid two Save prompts from appearing in a saved PDF, as Adobe Reader has its own in-built save alert.
To firstly trigger the prompt, I have tried using the following in the docClose event at the xfa.form.MyForm level:
var saveResponse = xfa.host.messageBox(Save form?, windowname, 2, 2);
If (saveResponse == 4)
app.execMenuItem(SaveAs);
But I observed that the message box appears only after the form disappears. When the Yes button is selected, no SaveAs window comes up. It seems as if the script executes only after the document is closed.
Has success with implementing something like this?
Thanks,
XiaoHi there
Assuming you were Publishing in version 3 and choosing the HTML option, the standard.js file was likely there. I'd be totally shocked to find it wasn't part of the equation. This calls into question what your perception of Publishing is.
I ask, because if you are coming at this from a Web Developer perspective, Publishing likely means something totally different to you than it does in the Captivate realm. In Captivate, you Publish to take the source .CP file and create output files from that source.
In the Web Development realm, the act of Publishing is performing a process that transfers copies of the content on your hard drive to the Web Server.
I'm wondering if somehow you have your Windows setup configured such that it doesn't show you files with a .JS file extension. That's the only other possibility I can fathom as to why you wouldn't be seeing it.
Cheers... Rick

Photo Gallery not showing photos in computer Web browser
None of my photo gallery photos are showing up in a computer's Web browser? They show up fine when you click "View Web Journal in Safari" on an iPad 2, but when I publish them to iCloud and Share the Web Journal Link, the photos don't show up?? It's happening with all of my Journals. It doesn't work on a Mac or Windows? What gives??
You try it:https://www.icloud.com/iphoto/projects/#1;CAEQARoQdoVWsxptdYjcSQD-Rg1QVg;B692688 8-A220-4FF7-848F-6383BB15A5DBArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh, matey. They all show for me in Safari but require several page refreshes to get them all to display. Those that don't display will if I click on it and then go back to the page. However, when retuning to the first page will put be back at square one and require multiple refreshes to get them to display, but not always.
Also, the page links are all messed up. Clicking on them just returns me to the first page. If I Option click on a page link from Page 1 I will get to the right page.
I am unable to get Firefox or Chrome to work at all on your gallery.

I'm not sure if this is the right way to share my experience, but at least I know Google will discover this thread eventually and maybe someone else will find what I have been looking for the past 3 hours
I'm deploying the 32-bit based AdobeReader X (http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4950) to Windows7 32-bit and 64-bit based machines. This is a MSI deployement done through our Active Directory. Everything goes well - no errors. Except for the x64-based machines having trouble showing PDF-files in the web-browser.
I used Adobe Customization Wizard X to customize our MSI installation - this showed out to be the solution once again.
Common for the installation on Windows7 32-/64-bit were that the value in the registry database for HKCR\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe (Default) was set to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe". This is valid for the 32-bit installation as Program Files is situated in C:\Program Files, but since it's a 32-bit edition of AdobeReader that I'm installing on the 64-bit based system as well, it's installed in C:\Program Files (x86) and the reference in the registry database to "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" is therefore not valid - which explains why PDF files could not be displayed in the web browser. Changing the registry to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" solved it. Now this is a manual solution which might be useful on 1-2 machines but on a bigger scale it's not the right way to do it.
I could change it with a batch/vbs script but still this is only a solution of the symptom and not a solution to the core issue. I therefore focused on Adobe Customization Wizard X again.
The problem was easily solved. I opened the MSI file, loaded the transform file that I've made previously. Went to Registry > HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Software\Adobe\Acrobat\Exe . I then changed the (Default) value from "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" to "[INSTALLDIR]Reader\AcroRd32.exe", generated the MST file and replaced my current one for distribution. Problem solved! :-) The entry in the registry now shows : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" and PDF files are open without any issues.
I hope someone can save a bit of time on this one.
Best regards!
Alex MikkelsenI was able install and view the files in adobe reader 10.1.1 and in web browser window 7 64 bit machine.

How to Run a form in Web browser?!
Hi,
1- Is it possible to run a .fmx file in web browser? if yes how to do so?
if no. what do I need to do to make it possible?
Many thanksForms 6i and above yes it is possible.
Forms 6i can be deployed both web and client/server, but 9i and above is only for web deployment.
If you want to deploy for testing purposes you can run the forms from the forms builder using OC4J Instance, but for production deployment you need to have OAS, Oracle Application Server.

Hi All !!
I developed developer report(reports 6.0) and deployed it on web.Reports are made in character mode so that it can be stored in ascii format.our requirement is that output can be stored in ascii file on remote client M/C.
If I go to http://websrv/misbin/Rwcgi60.exe?server=repsrv+userid=scott/tiger@conn+Report=tsms_pending+destype=localfile
then as destype is local file so client can store it in notepad on his M/C.
In the case of report is having parameters then I go to URL : http://websrv/misbin/Rwcgi60.exe?server=repsrv+userid=scott/tiger@conn+Report=tsms_pending+destype=localfile+paramform=YES
My problem is :
As destype in parameter form can have one of the four value(cache,file,printer,mail) so I
can't select localfile as a option in this case.
Is there any way to include localfile in the option of DESTYPE system parameter of Developer reports.
Thanks in advanceHi All !!

Windows can't find the file :

lm sure the message server prameters are right for web application ,then is there other configurations?
Thanks!Hi arya,
Thank you but it will show the same error message.
the question is I design the report in designer, but it can't be see in Analyzer ,or in the web browse.
as your solution , I click the button- execute , it will show the report in browse if it is configurated right.
I guess it may be something about system configuration, because in the directory error msg gave ,there are not the host name and port . -
Without Showing Parameter Form !!!!!!!
To who may concern,,,,
I have designed an oracle form and a button to print the oracle report. Is there possible to avoid showing the parameter form and the button directly print the report.
A piece of source code is appreciated.
Thank's in advance
Best regardspass a parameter to report
PARAMFORM=NO
this will stop the parameter form from showing.
To have the report directly printed use
DESFORMAT=PRINTER.
Check the online help for information about how to pass parameters from forms to reports. -
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,
RobertHi 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.
