Stopping Reports from within a form while executing

I was wondering if I run a report within a form and it is long-running, is there a way to stop the report in the middle of it running, if a user wants to stop it.
In Client/Server 6i, we used to have a C Program that called the Host command that executed reports. The Client and Server screen came up and it happen a button that you could "Cancel" the running report.
With the web reports, that doesn't seem to be an option. Does anyone have suggestions?
I see there is a REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS but, I don't see how that actually works if I put that in a button. I just want the ability to halt a report if I want too while it is running (if it is a long running report), otherwise, it just hoses up my forms application until the report finishes.
Any help is appreciated
Chris

I am facing the same problem. Could you please post the answer if you have one now. Please treat this as very urgent.

  • Can u call a BIP Report from within Oracle Forms?

    Hi,
    We want to use BIP as a reports solution for a Forms 10g Application. Currently we use oracle Reports. I would be very grateful if anybody can show us how to do the following as I could not find it in any documentation. Of course, I get the feeling that these cannot be done, but I want to double-check.
    (1.) How to call a BIP report with a input parameters from within an Oracle 10g Menu? i.e. when the user clicks on the menu item, BIP should be started and it should run the report within the BIP.
    -- So we also need a way to pass parameters to the BIP
    -- Also BIP has a different username/password also
    Is this possible or NOT POSSIBLE( i.e. U have to ask the user to login to BIP and then run the report)?
    Thanks & Regards,
    CS

    Hi,
    Have a look in this document to get an idea how to do:

  • Printing a Oracle PDF Report from within a Oracle Form on Linux

    Is there a command I can use in Oracle Forms to invoke a shell script to open a PDF output report stored on a physical location on the Linux server and print it to the printer?
    What I'm currently trying to do is send a Report called within Oracle Forms 10g to "DESTYPE=FILE DESFORMAT=PDF DESNAME=directory/filename.pdf". I'm storing all the information about the file and printer information prior to it being run with the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. What I want to happen is as soon as it finishes generating the file, I want (behind the scenes) is it to locate the file, open, and print it automatically, but never show the output to the user on the screen.
    I know with the "DESTYPE=cache DESNAME=filename DESFORMAT=PDF" that it puts the info in the Reports Server / Cache directory, but also opens it in a separate browser window of which you can select the printer at that point. I don't want to do that in this option.
    I previously tried to use the "DESTYPE=printer" option but, the issue with it has to deal with fonts. I do not want to store fonts on every printer, given the different types of printers our users have. I can print to the printer but the fonts are all messed up so, not an option.
    So, basically I'm trying to replace that option with generating to a PDF, then I don't have to worry about fonts, since I have them all working, then I can just open the PDF file on the server and send to the printer. I was wondering if that is an option available in Oracle Forms when calling reports. I figured that when someone sends the option of "DESTYPE=printer" that it must be calling some shell script on Linux that handles this. I'm just not seeing it.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Chris

    Ok, one final question because I want to see how far this can go.
    Can I issue this command via the HOST inside the form? Basically I'm telling it to open and send the file to the printer. The vFileName is the directory/filename stored on the Linux Server. I can execute this command on the command line of Linux and it works
    HOST( 'lpr -P gt-ybs-ps /u11/app/as10g/tools/web/html/pc_rp00120100210035258.pdf');
    I promise this is my last quesion.

    I’m sorry for the issue that you are hitting now.
    This itextsharp is third party control, for this issue, I recommended to consult the control provider directly, I think they can give more precise troubleshooting.

    Hi Mahesh
    I believe there was an issue like this in base 9.0.2 release. When saving and closing the jsp file, it would always put the default character set in the jsp definition. To workaround this, open this jsp in a editor and change the character set to the desire value. This issue has been fixed in latest patches. You can download the latest Reports 9i patchset from metalink site.

  • Start a BO report from within a web-application.

    Hi,
    An enuser want to start a BO report from within a web-application.
    The BO report ideally should not prompt for a login. The fact that we are using BO for reporting purposes should be transparent to the end users. The report should produce its output directly in Excel (pdf?) format. In WebI i can do a 'Save As' to obtain this, but it should go automatically so that the end users get their response directly in Excel
    the report should be parametrized. These parameters will be added to the URL by the calling application.
    To do a basic test of the Opendocument.jsp i created a number of test reports in WEBI, and i use the following URLs to execute them directly
    http://s-olaf-vtst150:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?&sPath=[My reports]&sDocName=tmsd1&sType=rep&sRefresh=Y
    http://s-olaf-vtst150:8080/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?&sPath=[My reports]&sDocName=Yearselection&sType=rep&sRefresh=Y&lsSYear:=2002
    So this covers points 1 & 4
    What are the options for points 2 & 3?
    Kind regards,
    Johan

    The BO XI 3.1 environment works quite well now.
    Two more questions:
    1. When a user being member of the Readers group, still sees the Edit button in Webapplication - Infoview. Is it possible to hide or disable that Edit button ?
    2. Is it possible to make a user only seeing a part of the data in the universe ? When a query is run with a parameter, the user ses the parameter in the left column ... but in that way a normal user can change the value of that parameter giving him the possibility to see things he should not see. Making a separate query per user is overkill and too much work to do. Is BO XI 3.1 able to offer this possibility and how ?

  • Calling a JSP Report From HTML parameter form

    Hi,
    I m trying to run a JSP Report from a HTML parameter Form. The JSP reports requires a parameter named userid in the URL with a valid value for database connection.
    eg. URL "http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_crdinf.jsp?userid=sysapps/system@trt1". We have created a variable on the server named "parmformjsp" with a value "sysapps/system@trt1". Now i use this variable in the URL as follows, eg. "http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_crdinf.jsp?parmformjsp".
    When i use this URL to call another JSP report from a JSP report it works fine, but the same does not work when calling a JSP report from a HTML form.
    the code for HTML parameter form calling a report is as follows,
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
    <meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
    <meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
    <title>Parameter Form</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <p>Parameter Form</p>
    <form name="form1" method="GET"
    action="http://win2kdb.oracle9iis.com:7778/repdemo/examples/Tools/fm_custrns.jsp?parmformjsp">
    <p>From Date<input type="text" name="p_fmdate" size="20"></p>
    <p>To Date<input type="text" name="p_todate" size="20"></p>
    <p> </p>
    <p><input type="submit" ><input type="reset" value="Reset" name="B2"></p>
    </form>
    <p> </p>
    </body>
    </html>
    If i create an input parameter named "userid" with a valid database connection value, remove the ?parmformjsp part from the action URL then it works fine. How can i call the JSP report using the parmformjsp variable name instead of using the "userid" clause in the URL.Can anyone suggest any workaround....
    Thanks & Best Regards,
    Unmesh

    do it like this...
    DECLARE
    pl_id ParamList := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
    BEGIN
    IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
      Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );

    Run_Product(REPORTS, 'D:\STL_FINAL\CHPREPORTS_FINAL\ROUTE_CARD.REP', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
    END; what exactly happens when you call the report. if its showing the blank page... may be you are not passing the right parameter name. cross-check that your parameter name in the report is 'ROUTE_CARD_CONTROL'.

  • Show the print dialog when running a report from an Oracle form.

    I would like to be able to print an Oracle report from an Oracle form but

  • Fragment fields suddenly become editable from within the FORM

    When we added a schema to a form that contains fragments, suddenly the fragment fields became visible and editable from the FORM.  The fields in the fragment are normally not editable unless you edit the fragment. (Designer)
    This is a huge concern for us, especially as we have new developers coming and going on this project.  It is my understanding that fragments should only be editable within the fragment xdp, not from within a form that the fragment is on.
    This is a problem that we can repeat / reproduce.  Would like to know if it's a bug.
    Please advise,
    Thanks,
    Elaine

    Hi Elaine,
    I thought this was a good thing that you can override fragment properties in the document that uses it.  Do you get a message "This fragment reference has local overrides to one or more properties of the source fragment" in the Warnings tab.
    If you don't want the fragments properties to be override you could wrap the fragment in a custom object.
    We have a fragment that has a multiline textfield with a character count and we use the ability to override the properties to update the databinding, caption, traversal, etc., this is then wrapped in a custom object so they can't update what they shouldn't.
    The custom object looks something like this;
    <subform usehref="..\..\Fragments\MultiLineTextField.xdp#som($template.form1.multiLineTextField)" name="name" x="0in" y="0in">
      <bind match="dataRef" ref="$"/>
      <draw name="questionNumber">
      </draw>
      <field name="value">
      <traversal>
        <traverse operation="next" ref="$"/>
      </traversal>
      </field>
    </subform>

  • How do I find the value of GWYUID from within a form?

    Hi, can someone help me with the below?
    I'm trying to determine the value of the environment variable GWYUID from within a form so I can pass this value to the fnd_webfile.get_url function at runtime to display the output of a concurrent program in a web browser.
    I've tried the below but this just brings back null. Any ideas on how to find the value at runtime in 11i?
    v_gwyuid varchar2(100) := name_in('$environments$.gwyuid');
    fnd_message.set_string('GWYUID:'||v_gwyuid);
    fnd_message.show;
    Thanks, Geoff

    wow, many, many, many.... and many thanks!
    Just add a tiny modify to check out the Batch_type
    doc_id = (select batch_id from gme_batch_header where batch_no='&batch_number' and batch_type = 0)
    Because the batch_no can be duplicated as we also create Batch and Filrm Planned Order.
    Many thanks for your support!

  • Calling Report from Menu (Oracle Forms 11g)

    I'm trying to call a report from a menu item in a menu (that is attached to a form) in Oracle Forms 11g directly and I'm having some difficulty. I know how to call a report from a form and everything works perfectly.
    But since in a menu there is no item called "Report" to attach like there is in Forms, I followed on route which is to attach the "rp2rro" PL/SQL library on the menu file (mmb) and I also even did it on the form itself. Then when you convert a menu using the Forms Migration Assistant, it will comment out statements like "ADD_PARAMETER" and replace with calls to packaged procedures/functions from the package "rp2rro". I set all the parameters
    RP2RRO.SETOTHERS('PARAMFORM=YES');
    RP2RRO.SETDESTYPE('CACHE');
    RP2RRO.SETDESFORMAT('PDF');
    RP2RRO.SETCOMMUNICATIONMODE(SYNCHRONOUS);
    then made the call to the report:
    RP2RRO.RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'MYREPORT', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, param_list_id, NULL);
    but all i get is the error "FRM-41219: Cannot find report: invalid ID."
    The Oracle documentation for integration reports in forms is for when you execute the report within a form not a menu item (that is attached to a form). Any clues?

    Hello,
    One option is to use the Web.Show_Document() built-in, with the complete Report Server URL inside. Of course, you can hide some information (connection string for instance) by calling a section of the /reports/conf/cgicmd.dat configuration file.
    FrancoisI tried it using the code below
    DECLARE
    c_relative_path CONSTANT VARCHAR2(50) := '/reports/rwservlet/?server=';
    c_rep_srv_name CONSTANT VARCHAR2(50) := 'rep_wls_reports_calgf3_asinst_1';
    c_rep_name CONSTANT VARCHAR2(30) := 'copy_detail.rdf';
    c_desformat CONSTANT VARCHAR2(10) := 'htmlcss';
    c_destype CONSTANT VARCHAR2(10) := 'cache';
    v_username VARCHAR2(100);
    v_password VARCHAR2(100);
    v_db_instance VARCHAR2(40);
    v_connect_string VARCHAR2(300);
    v_rep_srv_params VARCHAR2(200);
    v_rep_url VARCHAR2(400);
    BEGIN
    v_username := LOWER(get_application_property(username));
    v_password := LOWER(get_application_property(password));
    v_db_instance := LOWER(get_application_property(connect_string));
    v_connect_string := v_username || '/' || v_password || '@' || v_db_instance;
    v_rep_srv_params := '&report=' || c_rep_name ||
    '&desformat=' || c_desformat ||
    '&destype=' || c_destype ||
    '&userid=' || v_connect_string ||
    '&paramform=yes';
    v_rep_url := c_relative_path || c_rep_srv_name || v_rep_srv_params;
    web.show_document(v_rep_url, '_blank');
    END;
    and I get a new tab in the browser opening up (which is good at least) with the Oracle Reports Services page saying:
    Error
    No such Web command ().
    Now I've tried putting a URL of a Oracle's website (http://www.oracle.com) and that works perfectly. Another question is, where would the default directory be if I wanted to say call an HTML file? Would it be in the directory of FORMS_PATH where all my fmb, fmx, rdf, pll, etc...files are stored?
    Thanks,
