Using destype=WEBDAV from FORMS - run_report_object

Hi,
I'm trying to get WebDAV as output for my reports, invoked from forms. Read on if you might have a clue for my problem...
Downloaded the plugin for Oracle 9i Reports (9.0.2) to send the output to a WebDAV location.
This works fine when I tested it with a reports server and a browser URL to start the report like:
http://<machine:port>/reports/rwservlet?report=a.rdf&destype=WEBDAV&desformat=pdf&desname=<DAV URL>/myreport.pdf&userid=<unpw>
Output is created on the DAV location i expected.
This also works when invoking this URL from within forms with a web.show_document.
But I definitely want to get this functionality up and running using run_report_object and that is where I kick against the wall: to specify the destype, I only seem to be able to specify it using:
set_report_object_property(v_report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,x);
where x stands for PRE-DEFINED keywords like CACHE, FILE etc. (without quotes)
Passing the value for destype using add_parameter(parlist_id, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'WEBDAV'); doesn't work, FRM-41214 Unable to run report is displayed.
Anybody a clue?
Kind Regards,
Marc Vahsen

Marc,
this has been filed as a bug against Forms and will be fixed in Forms 10.0.3 (note that the upcoming Forms version is Forms 10g (9.0.4)).Not sure to this time if the fix can be provided earlier.

  • Running Reports using DESTYPE=CACHE from Report Launch Form (QMS0012F)

    We are trying to run reports via the web. Since this is a 3-tier setup and our report server is running under UNIX the DESTYPE=Preview and Screen are not valid options. When we choose CACHE as DESTYPE we get the error:
    'Invalid value '||l_value||' passed for parameter DESTYPE'
    I have traced the error down to the QMS0012L.PLL library -> QMS$REPORT (version 6.5.1.3) package -> add_par_to_list procedure.
    Is this a legacy of a client/server type setup? I have modified the procedure to allow for DESTYPE=CACHE. Now by submitting a report with DESTYPE=CACHE it gets submitted to the reports server except it doesn't show report. To display the report I believe we have
    to use the Web.Show Document function to display the report (eg. http://bill:7777/servlet/RWServlet/getjobid8?server=rep60bill) as per the oracle white paper "Integrating Oracle9iAS Reports in Oracle9iAS Forms"
    Has there been a headsdtart patch to include the DESTYPE of CACHE when running reports? or are we the only ones running reports this way.

    Raymond,
    I have recorded a new bug against Headstart for this. We do not
    currently have a fix, but I've looked at the code you mention and
    your fix looks correct.

  • Calling Reports from Forms (run_report_object and then Web.Show_document)

    Hi all,
    we are in the process to prepare a Forms-Migration from 6i to 10g and like probably most of the other Forms-Customers we also use Reports.
    We have setup a test-scenario with Forms/Reports Standalone Installation. So we have some Forms running and we are now starting to test reports.
    I have created a Test-Form to call run_report_object in the documented way. That means described in the white paper. set the parameters, then call the run_report_object BUILTIN and when the job is finished, I do a call to the Web.Show_Document BUILTIN with "getjobid". As destype I use "CACHE"
    So far so good, that works like a charm.
    But after seeing the output in the browser, I can use the URL as a template and only change the jobid and then I can see all other reports as well, whether the output is from me or not. Even worse if I change the URL to use the command "showjobs" I can see a nice list with all the output and can click and see all of them.
    Is there a way to secure this in an easy way.
    I have read the white papaer about securing the use of WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT with a cookie, but that sounds to me that it is meant if I want to run the report with that builtin which isn't the case I am willing to run the Report with "RUN_REPORT_OBJECT" which is secure enough to me, but the output of all jobs can be seen from anybody.
    Because we use the Forms/Reports Standalone Installation (because of License-Costs, ...) Single-Sign_on is no option for us we only want a situation where we can do the same as before.
    Run a report, see the output and nobody else can see it.
    If anybody has an idea how to do it, that would be great.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    thanks for the answers,
    but I'm still thinking that there is no "easy" Migration-Solution for our request.
    Running a report and after doing whatever needs to be done (read, print, ...) and don't care about additional security because nobody else can read it.
    But that might be the price for the bunch of new features in the "Web"-World were you never know where your application runs and you have to secure a lot more stuff then before.
    Anyway I think we proceed with a combination out of the adviced Metalink Note : 437246.1. We can set the expiration-parameter, we cannot set diagnostic=NO because we use Run_Report_Object but we can change httpd.conf and we reject all calls to showmap, showjopbs, etc.
    I'm not sure whether we need the rewrite part, but we'll see.
    Thanks,
    Mark

  • Exit using Cancel button from form preview.

    Hi
    I am looping into internal table and printing a smartform for every line.
    When I do the preview, and press back button, it takes me through the preview of all the items.
    Is there a way to come out of this preview.
    I am trying to use the cancel button in at user-command, but the program doesnot seem to recognise it.

    Hi,
    Regarding your qusetion about the preview.: In case you are calling the smartform inside a loop, the preview is going to get called. Incase you want just the 1st form to be shown, you could hardcode it in the program. Your logic could be:
    If its print preview, then exit in the 2nd pass of the internal table by checking the sy-tabix.
    Let us know if this suits your need. If it doesnt then throww more light on your question so that we cud suggest better!

  • Can't use Export Functionality from form?

    Hi experts,
    I got a problem now, can anyone help me??
    This's my system information:
    APPLICATION: 11.5.10.2
    DATABASE: 9.2.0.6.0
    And the problem is:
    - Open 1 Form
    - File > Export
    - The progress bar update to 100%
    - The browser is opened
    And it suddenly disappear.
    I've checked metalink and see this note: 423261.1 How to Troubleshoot Forms Hanging Using Export Functionality
    I think it's fail in phase 4:
    4) Finally generate the URL, and display the file in the browser window by calling the Forms built-in web.show_document
    But i don't know how to solve this problem. Can anyone show me?
    Thank you so much

    Hi everybody,
    I solved my problem. In my case, it's because tablespace CTXD was not have enough free extent. You can check this note

  • Passing parameter to report from form using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT method

    Will you please let me know how to do this. I tried using run_product but it is giving error as too many declarations. So I decided to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT, but no help is provided how to pass paramters to this routine from FORMS to REPORTS.

    If you just want to change the heading of a column dynamically, you can go with any of the two options. For both the options, you need to remove the static text and replace it with any dummy field (ensure the reference of field w.r. to repeating frame)
    1. Use the Format Trigger and change the heading to either "school" or "college" based on your field value.
    Ex.
    If :<field_name> = 'S'
    then :dummy_field := 'School'
    Else
    :dummy_field := 'College'
    End If;
    Return (true)
    2. Another option is similar to this and uses a CF.
    (I would prefer CF).
    Warm Regards,
    Raja.

  • How to use parameter forms with run_report_object from Forms?

    Hi,
    I would like to run a rep report from Forms 9i. I have 9iAS R2 with a rep_<maschine_name> report server.
    Untill now I run reports with run_report_object and then used web_show_doc to display the PDF output. Now I have to display a parameter form first and only then can I run the report. Currently I am a bit lost and do not know how to do this? Could some one please point me to some examples or docs?

    Sanjay Hi
    You have to create a report object within the form.
    If you look at the Object NAvigator in the Form Builder right below Record Group
    tou would see an option for Report. Create a new report object.
    Set the following properties for that object
    Filename - This should be the name of your RDF file you created from Report Builder along with the full path.
    Set the Execution Mode, Communication Mode and Report Destination Type as per your requirements.
    In the parameter for find_report_object() pass the name of the report object you created.
    eg.
    if the name of the report object you created is Report2 then
    your call should be rep_id := find_report_object('Report2') .
    You are calling the report object which has been created in your form builder and through that call you are running the report file specified in the Filename property of that report object.

  • Run_Report_Object -- Calling report from Form

    Hello:
    Where can I find a technical notes on VALID combination of system parameters in calling report using run_report_object from FORMS in 10G?
    Not sure what are valid values and combinations. Do we HAVE to pass a REPORT SERVER along with run_report_object? what formats are valid along with destype etc?

  • Help me in using RUN_PRODUCT to call a report from form

    Hi GURUs
    I am trying to call a report from a form.
    I enter hiredate as input parameter in the form and click the 'run report' button.
    The hiredate value will be sent to report via pl_id, TEXT_PARAMETER,:CTL.TXT_DT as shown below in when button pressed trigger
    DECLARE
    pl_id ParamList;
    BEGIN
    pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
    Add_Parameter(pl_id,'HRDATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:CTL.TXT_DT);
    Run_Product(REPORTS, 'C:\empreport.RDF', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
    END;
    Coming to report side its a simple query select * from emp where trunc(hiredate) > trunc(:hrdate);
    I created 'hrdate' user parameter in the report
    The problem is when I run the form it calls report and shows the report parameter form with the carried value. now I have to run report again.
    How do I supress this paramenter form because when I am sending value from form I dont have to see the parameter form at the report.
    I dont know how to use paramform = no with RUN_PRODUCT
    Please tell me what to do it....
    Thanks

    Looking at the Forms documentation it specifies, "To run a report from within a form, you must use the dedicated report integration built-in RUN_REPORT_OBJECT." The RUN_PRODUCT built-in is used to run the Graphics product. I suggest you give RUN_REPORT_OBJECT a try. This is how we call a report from a form.
    Hope this helps.

  • Using Web Service from LiveCycle PDF Dynamic Form.

    I have developed Staff Attendance Sheet about 7 years ago using Microsoft Office Web Componenets Data Access Pages (OWC DAP).
    See image below of the current report using OWC DAP:
    http://bit.ly/cAfeYs
    Since we are moving our legacy systems to SAP, this report will have to be re-implemented using Adobe LiveCycle PDF which is connecting to Web Service over SAP Systems (since OWC does not connect to Web Service).
    The SAP development team have developed the initial webservice which generates the required data.
    I have developed the initial version of the LiveCycle PDF, which can be downloaded from this link:
    http://bit.ly/9KBgm0
    The following is a screen snapshot of the LC Desinger Form:http://bit.ly/cxMK62
    When the web service is executed from inside PDF the result looks as follows:
    http://bit.ly/cacbCg
    The webservice accepts the following required parameters:
    1. Period: YYYYMM. User Specified Value.
    2. Staff ID: 9999999. It must be supplied automatcially to the web service and it must be the Windows ID of the User Logged In to Windows
    Domain.
    Other parameters are optional.
    Assumptions:
    ==========
    1. I am not using any Adobe Forms Server Technology. I can use LiveCycle Desinger ES2 and LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server.
    2. I can alse develop using .NET to get the Logged In User ID (Windows), generate the XDP from ASPX Page and attach the XML to the XDP.
    3. We are using IE8 with Adobe Reader 9 Plugin (IE add-on) to display LiveCycle PDF inside IE.
    Questions:
    ========
    1. First time the webservice is executed, I will get a prompt to allow/deny execution of the webservice. This is a security issue here, becuase we do not want any user to know the link to the Web Service. How we can hide the link to the webservice and prevent any user from getting the link ?
    2. How I can stop the Prompt to Allow/Deny execution to the Web Service for good ? As you know, users will get confused, and when we launch this PDF, it will generate a lot of calls to the Service Desk (more than 1000 users).
    3. The Web Service uses Simple User Name/Password for authentication to run the webservice. I need to embed the User Name/Password inside
    the PDF, and also prevent any user for getting them, how ?
    4. I want to send the Staff ID Parameter to the Web Service Automatically which is the Logged In User ID (Windows). This is the same value of the "Login Name" which can be accessed using Acrobat JavaScript. But the problem, this script must be trusted, and it will be a long story. Any ideas how to implement this requirement using simple methods ?
    5. If I manage to send the Staff ID Parameter to the Webservice automatically (Logged In User ID), also, I want to prevent the user from sending a different user ID, ie, prevent him from using Import Data to Form to specify a Different User ID for the Webservice Parameter. How ?
    I appreciate your help if you have any ideas about the above.
    Tarek.

    Hi Tarek,
    First of all, Thank for your replying.
    I have developing Adobe LiveCycle xdp form with a button. The SAP Web Service will be called when the button is pressed.
    Before that, I ‘m able to call another ASP.NET web services by using SOAP.request call. However, when I apply the code to call SAP web service, it doesn’t work. I checked that the web service is valid. And I found that there is something wrong when implementing the SOAP.request call. But I have no idea what wrong is it. So, I beg your help
    The following is the code in the click event of the button:
    //mainData.sfMain.Button7[1]::click - (JavaScript, client)
        var webServiceEndPoint = "http://xxxxxxx.xxxxxxx.com:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_DEDB492BB032E7F1B09F001CC4FBCEC9/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?s ap-client=300";
        var staffIDInput = "9999999";
        var oAuthenticator = {
        Username: "usr",
        Password: "pw"
    app.alert("1");
        var response = SOAP.request({
           bEncoded: false,
           cResponseStyle: SOAPMessageStyle.Message,
           cURL: webServiceEndPoint,

  • Developing a 2 page form, username on the 1st page, password on 2nd how can i force FF to use the username from previous page when it asks to remember acct info?

    I am developing a 2 page signup form, where the person enters their username on the 1st page and password on the 2nd.
    When I test the form, FF asks to remember my password for the site - however it thinks the zipcode (field above the password) is the username on the account.
    I have tried to put their username/email in a hidden field on the 2nd page, just above the password field - and that did not work.
    How can i force FF to use the username from previous page when it asks to remember acct info?

  • Calling SQL Loader using HOST command from Developer Forms 4.5

    I want to execute a set of code from D2K Forms 4.5 which has interfface with Client - OS ( In my case Windows NT/XP). I want to execute SQL Loader from Forms using Host Command and then after completion of that process, I want to do next transcations ( depending upond success of HOST/SQL Loader).
    How to achive this?
    I tried writing code like this ...
    l_vc_command := 'sqlldr73'
                        ||' USERID='||l_vc_username||'/'||l_vc_password||'@'||l_vc_connect_string
                        ||' CONTROL='||l_vc_filepath||'Upload.ctl'
                        ||' DATA='||LTRIM(RTRIM(l_vc_fileloc))
                        ||' LOG='||l_vc_filepath|| l_vc_log_file || '_' || l_dt_sysdate_str ||'.log'                    
                        ||' BAD='||l_vc_filepath|| l_vc_bad_file || '_' || l_dt_sysdate_str ||'.bad'
                        ||' DISCARD='||l_vc_filepath|| l_vc_discard_file || '_' || l_dt_sysdate_str ||'.dsc';
    HOST(l_vc_command,NO_PROMPT);
    After this command i want to do some other code execution. so even if it fails or success, next code is executed. How to control this?

    Forms6i running on W2000, Rdbms 8.1.7
    in Forms I added a button TEST,
    Trigger when-button-pressed : host('test.bat') ;
    in directory .......\frm I added file test.bat :
    REM ===============
    cd /d C:\........\ldr
    pause
    sqlldr parfile=test.par
    pause
    type test.log
    pause
    exit
    REM ================
    now, pressing TEST button opens DOS window, telling me what's going on, running sqlldr, finally going back to forms
    Are you using NO_PROMPT or NO_SCREEN option of HOST command ?
    Had a look at Forms 4.5 manuals, there is no mentioning of (a)synchronously operation in connection with HOST command.

  • How can I use  regexp_instr from forms?

    As I understand these are not available to forms pl/sql engine.
    Is there an Oracle API that I can use from forms ?
    Thanks

    <p>If you mean Java API, you can read this article. Notice that it needs at least JRE 1.4 so it wont run under JInitiator.</p>

    Did you mean: can you parse an XML document within Forms 6i? With the new Java importer support, you should be able to use the Oracle XML parser for Java to do this.
