Run a report in PL/SQL using utl_http.request

Hi
I need to run a report in PL/SQL using utl_http.request
How that can be done ??
Thank you!

Okay, backtrack.
A web server can deliver all kinds of content. From static HTML pages, to XML files and videos and dynamic content. Including reports.
The communication language (protocol) used to talk to a web server is HTTP.
UTL_HTTP is an Oracle PL/SQL library that implements the client side of this communication. It allows the developer to write code that acts like a web browser and communicates with a web server.
Now what do you not understand and cannot use?
HTTP is not simple and easy. You need to understand the basics of this communication language in order to communicate successfully with the web server. Like knowing the difference between GET and PUT and POST commands, how the URL query string works and so on.
Once you know that, you can look at how the web server provides reports. How do you authenticate as a web browser with the web reporting system? What URLs do you use to access which reports? How do you pass name-values to the web server as report parameters? What HTTP response formats (MIME types) does the web report server provide? Which one do you plan to use and how do you parse that response into a meaning structured data format?
If you're thinking it is "easy", think again. Sure, someone here can provide sample code that for example grabs a CSV report file from a web server and (using a pipeline table function), turn that into rows and columns. But that will not teach you the fundamentals you need to know and not equip you with dealing with the problem with your own brains, hands and keyboard.
PS. In other words, learn to crawl and walk before trying to run. Get to grips with how HTTP works before diving into the deep end of web report integration.

How to Display PHP Output as Portlet in HTML Region using utl_http.request

I wanted to be able to parse PHP functions to add more functionality to my Page. nothing fantasy, something simple like: http://phpsysinfo.sourceforge.net/phpsysinfo-dev/?template=classic
Where the realtime values are retrieved from the OS. this represent some kind of problem to me, I know how to do it from Shell Script, Perl or PHP, but not from PL/SQL.
Based on my experience using Oracle Portal, Portlets, I think we really can make use of the feature used in Portal called Web Clipping. [ This feature basically goes to some Site a retrieve part of the site to show in the current page]. Well the PL/SQL utility utl_http.request does something similar.
Make sure your request page does not retrieve some headers because that would cause a problem in your page and will not show up.
This is what I did:
<b> 1.- </b> Grant Privileges to execute [ <b> utl_http.request </b> ] to the owner of your schema.
login into the OracleXE / APEX as SYS then go to the Object Navigator, then click on packages, find the utl_http.request then click on it, later click on grant and select your schema owner for your applicaion.
<b> 2.- </b> Logout as SYS then login as your application schema user. just to test the functionality go to the sql command then enter the following command and then click run:
<b> select substr(utl_http.request('http://www.oracle.com/'),1, 255) from dual; </b>
If your output is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <html> <head> <title>Oracle 10g, Siebel, PeopleSoft | Oracle, The World's Largest Enterprise Software Company</title> <meta name="title" content="Enterprise Applications | Database | Fusio
<font color='blue'> Wow It worked </font>, this really could be useful !!, If not go back to step 1 and check your permissions to execute, or perhaps your Internet connectivity.
3.- Once we know the package works and we can retrieve content from the Internet. lets go to some of our pages add some HTML Region.
4.- Create an item and put into the new region. the source will be SQL, For the purposes of my test the query to the Oracle Page failed, so I decided to give a shot with a simple PHP script with no headers.
The internal server is: http://mytest.com/hello_world.php
Where the content of the hello_world.php is:
<?
echo '"<b> Hello World </b> ";
?>
This PHP works fine and display the basic Hello World. can be the same server or not, also noticed this can be another port perhaps using something like Ruby,Mason or Java.
<b> 5.- </b> Finally in my Item the source type is SQL and looks like this:
<b> select substr(utl_http.request('http://mytest.com/hello_world.php'),1, 255) from dual; </b>
Apply the changes and run the page !!!
Excelent It worked as expected. now you know how use utl_http.request to create webclipping in your OracleXE / APEX from remote pages, or how to use it to parse the output from CGI, Perl, PHP, Ruby or Java pages.
Note: [ Just make sure to strip the headers or parse into a PL/SQL Procedure to clean then show ]

Sorry, from your post in the LabVIEW board I did not understand that it was the Output message that you were looking for.
I thought you wanted the results from your test steps displayed on the user interface.
It is the “Output Panel” in the sequence editor that displays your output message, but I do not know if there is default Output panel activeX indicator for user interface that the TestStand engine would update automatically like it does the execution view.
Maybe someone else knows
As also pointed out, the UI messages is your other option.
The Output Message event number is 40
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/3879
UIMsg_OutputMessages–(Value: 40) TestStand sends this message at periodic intervals when it holds references to output messages that calls to the OutputMessage.Post method queue. TestStand transfers the queued messages to an OutputMessages collection attached to the UIMessage.ActiveXData property for this event. An application that processes output messages should copy the output message references from the collection in UIMessage.ActiveXData to its own private OutputMessages collection by passing its private collection to the OutputMessages.CopyMessagesToCollection method. An application calls the Engine.NewOutputMessages method to create a private OutputMessage collection. TestStand generates this event only if the Engine.OutputMessagesEnabled property is True. Because there can be more than one handler for this event, the application should not modify the OutputMessages collection the UIMessage.ActiveXData property holds.

Error while using utl_http.request :ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed

Hi.
I'm using 11g
I'm trying to use utl_http.request
I tried select utl_http.request('http://srvab.us.oracle.com') from dual;
and get the below error
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-29273: HTTP request failed
ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_HTTP", line 1577
ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out

29273. 00000 - "HTTP request failed"
*Cause: The UTL_HTTP package failed to execute the HTTP request.
*Action: Use get_detailed_sqlerrm to check the detailed error message.
Fix the error and retry the HTTP request.
I have tried the below steps after checking Oracle KM
BEGIN
DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CREATE_ACL(acl => 'ACL_OPSLOG.xml',
description => 'ACL SRVAP AUTOSR PURPOSES',
principal => 'username',
is_grant => true,

COMMIT;
END;
But still no luck.Please assist
Thanks
Archana

According to the exception, the error is not ACL related, but network related.
Basic test. Connect to the Oracle server using a console (e.g. ssh or telnet into the server). On that server, test the network connectivity to the web server. E.g.
telnet srvab.us.oracle.com 80If this fails, then so will PL/SQL code in that Oracle server.

Hello,
Just when you think that you know everything, it is slammed in your face that you don't. The .Mac member name field in the System Preferences DOES NOT take your whole e-mail address. It only takes your user name or whatever comes BEFORE the "@" symbol. There was absolutely nothing wrong with my MacBook Pro (other than ther brain dead user).
Sorry for wasting your time...

How to perform authentication on proxy using utl_http package?

Hi,
I am using Oracle 8i database (ver:8.1.7). I want to use the utl_http package to perform http requests. Within my company, I am forced to use a proxy and I have to be authenticated on that proxy. How can I authenticate myself on the proxy using utl_http.request function on Oracle 8i?
Thanks a lot.

UTL_HTTP
The UTL_HTTP package makes Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) callouts from SQL and PL/SQL. You can use it to access data on the Internet over HTTP.
With UTL_HTTP, you can write PL/SQL programs that communicate with Web (HTTP) servers. UTL_HTTP also contains a function that can be used in SQL queries. The package also supports HTTP over the Secured Socket Layer protocol (SSL), also known as HTTPS, directly or through an HTTP proxy. Other Internet-related data-access protocols (such as the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) or the Gopher protocol) are also supported using an HTTP proxy server that supports those protocols.
When the package fetches data from a Web site using HTTPS, it requires Oracle Wallet Manager to set up an Oracle wallet. Non-HTTPS fetches do not require an Oracle wallet.
See Also:
Chapter 102, "UTL_URL"

How to Create a Dynamic http address that opens the Explorer Window for a List Item When a Button Is Clicked--Currently Trying to Make this Work with Javascript

I have created a button (via Content Editor) that uses JavaScript to open the Attachments folder of a list item in the Explorer Window in SharePoint 2010. The purpose is to have drag and drop functionality for each list item, having multiple attachments.
The button works but opens the "Attachments" folder containing all of the other folders for each list item (one folder per item). It seems that when you add an attachment to a list item, SharePoint numbers the folder based on the item's ID. What
I'm trying to do is take the JavaScript I have and have it run when a button is clicked in a custom form. When it runs, I'm trying to get it to open the "specific" folder for the list item. I have had success creating a hyperlink in the list that
does this; however, the link WILL NOT work until I use the Content Editor created button that runs JavaScript, that prompts me to click OK to my profile certificate, and then opens the Attachment folder. After that occurs, I can use my hyperlinks without issue
because I'm no longer prompted to click OK for my cert.
So I'm trying to take the JavaScript I have and place it in a list item form (custom form) and have it run when a form button is clicked. The problem is I have very little knowledge of JavaScript (did I mention little?) and
"don't know how to take the "http:" address I have in the script and append to it the list item ID, according to the record I have open."
So that for any record I open, the script will grab the corresponding record ID (or list item ID) and append it.
Here's the script I'm working with (which I didn't create but am grateful for):
<style>
.httpFolder {behavior:url(#default#httpFolder);}
</style>
<script text = "javascript">
function fnOpenFolderView(){
oDAV.navigateFrame("https://server/collection/site/subsite/Lists/Sublist/Attachments","_self");
</script>
<div id = "oDAV" class = "httpFolder"/>
<input type = "button" value = "Open Attachment Folder" onclick = "fnOpenFolderView()"/>
The above script, in the Content Editor, creates a button that opens the Attachments folder for the corresponding SharePoint list.

Hello Thriggle,
Thank you for pointing that out. I appended your "GetUrlKeyValue" to the end and it worked. That said, I noticed it doesn't run as smoothly as when I simply click on the Content Editor button I created that resides on the SharePoint List
ASPX page (not the form). The Content Editor button has the same code, minus the "GetUrlKeyValue". I click it; I get prompted to choose my cert; it opens right up.
Now go to the ASPX Display form where I dump the code in a table cell. Button appears in cell; I click it; wait; wait; I get prompted for cert; it opens. Do I need some sort of "throttle" for the JavaScript? For instance, I thought before running
JavaScript, you reference the library first. This code doesn't do that. I'm wondering if there's something more I need to make this run smoothly. Thank you both for getting me this far.

How to send a https request using jsf

hi
Can anybody tell a sample how to send a https request using JSF ...
thanks

Prefix the request URI with the https protocol.
The answer is too easy and straightforward that I guess that you mean something else. If you just want to know how to configure an SSL environment for your own webapplication, refer to the Java EE tutorial chapter 28: http://java.sun.com/javaee/5/docs/tutorial/doc/

How to send XML using UTL_HTTP

I am trying to workout how to send XML data to a webserver using UTL_HTTP but am not getting any reply
I need to submit the following XML document to a server "http://api.fastsms.co.uk/api/xmlapi.php" Their instructions are "The XML Document should be posted unencoded, with a UTF-8 character set as parameter 'xml'"
If I submit the following XML on their test form
<?xml version="1.0"?>

</apirequest>
I get an XML response back with the messages in my inbox.
This is the code I am trying to use to accomplish the same from PL/SQL : I know a response is coming back as there is header information - just no content. What am I doing wrong ?
l_xml VARCHAR2(5000);
req utl_http.req;
resp utl_http.resp;
header_name VARCHAR2(256); -- Response header name
header_value VARCHAR2(1024); -- Response header value

-- Set headers for type and length
utl_http.set_header(req,'Content-Type','application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
utl_http.set_header(req,'Content-Length',to_char(length(l_xml)));
-- Write parameter

Hi Billy
Yikes - how embarassing ! Thanks for pointing out my beginners mistake there. I've fixed my code - and also implemented the substitutions of parameters like you suggested - I like that approach.
Unfortunately the end result is no better - the line
utl_http.read_text(resp,response_text);
Still returns nothing back
The headers that are coming back are
Date: Thu, 04 Jul 2013 08:31:56 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.16 (Ubuntu)
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.3-1ubuntu9.3
Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0
Pragma: no-cache
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Connection: close
I guess I will need to try chasing it with the fastsms vendor so see if they can check my incoming request and see if there are any glaring problems. I know the xml is correct as I am now logging the xml string just before I send it and when I take that string and put it in their test form it works perfectly - something else in the puzzle is missing. I've had no experience using utl_http before - perhaps it's no possible to read the xml repsonse using this ?
Anyway, thanks for your help Billy.
ps - How do you paste your code into your message to get that formatting ?
Cheers,
Brent

How to add WebService authentication in pl/sql using UTL_HTTP

Hi,
I am passing SOAP request and getting output as a soap response from WebService using UTL_HTTP.
Calling Web service client call from the PL/SQL procedure.
Java web service is a service producer.
Now we needs to add security to the application we are planing to add some of the userid/pwd credientials.
So what needs to be add sql code in the sq/sql for making client call.
i checked from the few of the articles. it shown like
UTL_HTTP.set_authentication(http_req, 'username', 'password' );
is it enough for making clent call or any other changes are required.
Please let me know and any code to be implemented in the jave side aslo(if you knows) :-)
Thanks,
Pradeep.

Thanks for looking, Pete

The wallet needs to be stored on the Oracle server.
Using +$ORACLE_HOME/bin/owm+ you create a wallet file and import (copy-and-paste) the web server's certificate in PEM format.
PL/SQL code then needs to use the wallet on the server:

How to make a http request from a pl/sql procedure(URGENT)

I need to make a http request from a pl/sql procedure, can any one tell me which built-in package and which procedure/function we serve my need?
Thanks in advance.
Ram Prasad.

You should use UTL_HTTP package, but before it install the JVM into DB

Use utl_http.request,how to replace '&' in http address?
