Hello,
Yes, it is possible :
17 Using Event-Driven Publishing
With the OracleAS Reports Services Event-Driven Publishing API, you can automatically run a report in response to an event in the database, such as the insertion of a record or the change of a value. The Event-Driven Publishing API is a PL/SQL API that allows for the automatic submission of jobs to OracleAS Reports Services from within the database

Invoking XML Publisher Report from PL/SQL

Hi,
I have a PL/SQL procecedure which invokes the Concurrent Request for the XML Publisher Report. This one finishes with a warning and I get 'Unable to publish output' when I try to view the output. Exact Error: "Unable to find the published output for this request "
But if I run the same report using Concurrent program, the Report executes with no error. Also the desired output is coming. I am not sure where I am doing wrong in code.
My code which invokes the XML Publisher Report (from PL/SQL package)is something like this:
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout (template_appl_name => 'XXTMG', template_code => 'XXT_5001_BOL_T', template_language => 'EN', template_territory => 'US', output_format => 'XML');
l_no_of_copies := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_NO_OF_COPIES');
l_printername := fnd_profile.VALUE ('XXTMG_SH_BOL_REPORT_PRINTER');
l_print_style := NULL; --For setting the Printer Options
l_result := fnd_request.set_print_options (l_printername, l_print_style, l_no_of_copies, TRUE, 'N');
l_result := fnd_request.add_printer (l_printername, 0);
y := fnd_request.submit_request ('XXTMG', 'XXT_5001_BOL', '', TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS'), FALSE, 'CH-120079') ;
end;
Please let me know where I might be going wrong
Thanks

Hi Sumit,
You can try with this code:
exec dbms_application_info.set_client_info(org_id)
exec fnd_global.APPS_INITIALIZE(user_id,resp_id,appl_id);
declare
x boolean;
l_no_of_copies varchar2(45);
l_printername varchar2(45);
l_print_style varchar2(45);
l_result boolean;
y number;
begin
x := fnd_request.add_layout ('XXTMG' --template_appl_name
          ,'XXT_5001_BOL_T' --template_code
          ,'en' --template_language
     ,'US' --template_territory
     ,'XML' --output_format
if (x=TRUE) then
y := fnd_request.submit_request (
                    'XXTMG'           --application
                    ,'XXT_5001_BOL'      --program
                    ,SYSDATE          --start_time
                    ,FALSE               --sub_request
                    ,'CH-120079'          --argument1 (Program's Parameter)
if y>0 then
          dbms_output.put_line('Request ID '||y);
end if;
end if; --if (x=TRUE) then
end;
Make sure that program has only one input parameter. If program has other parameters then you can pass those parameters like argument1, argument2... etc.
Now you can see this submited request in your application using your user id. If you able to see your request in concurrent request then you can add printer parameters in this programs.
You don't need to pass all 100 parameters.
I am executing many programs/reports using this code.
Thanks

Run report from PL/sql procedure

Please any one tell how to I run a report from pl/sql procedure.

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.

Run multiple reports from PL/SQL

I am planning to run reports from a PL/SQL batch program. My requirement is i need to generate multiple(around 50) reports with only a difference in one numeric parameter which will go from 1 to 50. I am planning to invoke the report inside a loop which goes from 1..50. I heard that i need to use a utl_http package which i havent used till now. Does somone has a sample code for running a report from pl/sql. i need it ASAP. Thanks in advance

hi rejesh,
we have an pl/sql API in reports to do exactly what you want to do.
The Reports Event Driven Publishing API
find the documentation including examples in the reports getting
started on technet.

Generating reports from PL/SQL

I'm new to the world of BI Publisher - so far I'm impressed with what I've seen. I've managed to create a report and an RTF template and generate some nice looking PDF's :)
What I need to do now is to have a nightly job that produces PDF shipment reports using my template for all new shipments generated during the day and I'm having a little difficulty putting it all together.
I've looked at the BI Publisher API's that allow me to generate an XSL from my RTF template and the using the FO engine merge the XSL and XML data to produce the PDF. Then using the delivery manager API's I can send these reports out via email.
I'm a little unsure of how to get the XML source - I've played around with the DataEngine API to generate XML from a SQL query so I think that's where I should be heading.
Does this all sounds right ? Ideally, I want to be able to do all of this from within a scheduled PL/SQL job every night but all the interaction with the BI server seems to be via Java.
Is there an easy(ish) way to run all of this from within PL/SQL ?
And should I be going about this by:
1/ generate XML data using dataengine API
2/ create an RTF template using word and the xml data generated above
3/ use the RTF processor to generate an XSL-FO from my RTF template
(1-3 will only need to be done once)
4/ Then my nightly job will use the dataengine to generate new shipment XML data
5/ use FO processor to generate PDF's from each
6/ use delivery manager API's to email out
All sounds very cumbersome and intense -is there no easier way ?! :) Also, I'm thinking i should be using the bursting engine to split one query containing all the new shipment data and generate/mail a PDF for each shipment ? Is that necessary if all going to the same email address ?
Help/guidance/suggestions greatly appreciated !
Many thanks,
Brent

Hello,
a package is provided : srwAPIins.sql installs the Event-Driven Publishing API.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_17/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_evnt.htm
The Event-Driven Publishing API is a PL/SQL package that provides the basic functions required for the development of procedures that respond to events in the database. Event-driven jobs are submitted using the HTTP protocol. The server assigns a unique job_ident record to every call, useful for tracking the status of the job.

Here in this case even though i specify the report id in the parameter,debugger message says that 'You did not specify the name'.
The same code is working in some other server and giving the pdf output.
Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Hello Chirag,
If you want to invoke and run a report from your PL/SQL code in the database, you can do so by installing and using the SRW package supplied with Reports. This package allows you to run parametrized report jobs on a specified Reports Server from your PL/SQL program and track the job status. Please take a look at the documentation for this package in the Publishing Reports manual on OTN at: http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/html/A92102_01/toc.htm.
On the other hand, if you just need to invoke the Reports Builder program from your PL/SQL routine, you would need to use the default builtin for calling external applications from PL/SQL.
Thanks,
The Oracle Reports Team.

Stop the report from firing until the user clicks the Go button?

Hi All,
Is there a way to stop the report from firing until the user clicks the Go button? At the moment it is populating when I open the dashboard page. I found something online that said i could use the Page Options>Save Current Settings> For Others.. but even though i am signed in as an administrator i only see a For Me.. option. Also, even after setting this option i would like to be able to hit the 'Go' button to run the report and have it uncollapse the section. Is this possible?
Thanks

Thanks for the replies,
In my report i am trying to constrain the report to todays data only. However the only prompt i have is for another column. If i place a filter on the date column with Year=0000 it will not change with the prompt selection and so will never return any results. Is there any other way?
It seems wasteful to fire a request to the database onload of the page. Is there an option to only fire a request what the prompts are entered? I will be using a stored proc which needs parameters to run the request so it would be good to be able to set the report to not run until it has parameters entered
Thanks

How to retrieve the values from PL/SQL table types.

Hi Every one,
I have the following procedure:
DECLARE
TYPE t1 IS TABLE OF emp%ROWTYPE
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
t t1;
BEGIN
SELECT *
BULK COLLECT INTO t
FROM emp;
END;
This procedure works perfectly fine to store the rows of employee in a table type. I am not able to retrieve the values from Pl/SQL table and display it using dbms_output.put_line command.
Can anybody help me please!!!!!
Thanks
Ahmed.

You mean, you can't add this
for i in t.first..t.last loop
dbms_output.put_line(t(i).empno||' '||t(i).ename||' '||t(i).job);
end loop;or you can't add this
set serveroutput onor maybe, you are working in third party application where dbms_output is not applicable at all?
You see, not able like very similar it is not working - both are too vague...
Best regards
Maxim

Why do you need to do it by a curesor loop? Can't you put the query in the datamodel of the report and simply pass the parameter to restrict the query?
