Web report & html form

Is it possible to create Web report that will be take input parameters from html form? What program is necessary for me?

Hello Sergey Al,
You can create a custom parameter form in Reports Builder for your report, and when you run this report on the web using rwservlet with PARAMFORM=YES, this paramform will be displayed in HTML format before the report is run.
Further, you can also create a JSP report with a parameter form, to be deployed on the web in a JSP engine. Take a look at the OTN 'Getting Started With Oracle9i Reports' link below for details:
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/ParameterFormJSP/index.html
Thanks,
The Oracle Reports Team.

Web reports parameter form is huge!

has anyone encountered a problem where the parameter form for a
web report is abnormally huge?
a look at the html source indicates that the sizes used for the
height, width, etc are in the thousands. the same report and its
parameter form work fine in client server mode.

hello,
this might be related to the X environment your DISPLAY is
pointing to. some x-environments cause the parameterform to be
rendered too big.

How to call jsp web report from forms 9i

Dear fellows,
How can i call a jsp report from forms 9i.
Thanx
Mochoo

Use web.show_document instead of Run_Report_Object. If the jsp contains a paper layout you can still use Run_Report_Object, but you have to specify the filename extension .jsp along with the filename.

Value to be assigned to a parameter field (web report parameter form)

In a Oracle 10g report In parameter form we have DESTYPE and DESNAME. In database we have PRINTERNAME. we are using run_product to open the report. Now we are in the url
http://192.168.178.29:7779/reports/rwservlet/getjobid2214?server=rep_inexpas02_OracleFRSR2
Parameter form:
When we change the value of DESTYPE to Printer I want assign printername in DESNAME field. Other wise DESNAME should be blank. Is there any trigger like when change field of DESTYPE in parameter form (web) assign some value to DESNAME. (AFTER PARAMETER FORM AND BEFORE REPORT ARE NOT SOLVING THE PURPOSE)

Is it correct taht you use forms to invoke the report? If so, a possible solution is to "create" your own parameter-form in forms itself, where you can do such validations and logic as you need. Then run the report without parameter-form.

Web Reports - directing output to local printer.

We are running Forms/Reports web enabled, and we are designing
reports, that must send the output directly to the customers
printers without first showing them in a browser.
Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

There is a utility from Oracle called Remote Report Printing
Utility. This is meant for sending Web Reports ( HTML,PDF)to a
local printer. Though I have this utility+doc I havent
successfully done it.
If u want I can send it u.
Hope this Helps

In Hyperion Planning/Workspace 11.1.2.1, after running Web Report (HTML), cannot "Export in Query Mode" to Smartview. It launches Excel, but the worksheet stays blank and the report is not populated. It doesn't make a differenc if I'm already logged in to Smartview or not.
The report successfully exports to Query in 11.1.2.0. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Auto Post HTML Form

Hi,
Does anyone know how I automatically post to a Web site HTML Form.
I have the following scenario... I have a web site (which requires log on) and I would like to generate a HTML FORM post automatically every 10 mins.
The timing is not an issue, neither is getting the initial connection to the log-on URL.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Angus

You can implement a Thread that creates the URL string with all the parameters and opens the URL connection after which it sleeps for the particular duration (10 mins in your case).

Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form

Hi,
I tried in building a report as shown in the example in OTN under reports in the url
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/ParameterFormJSP/index.html
i.e for Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form. The directions in this document were not clear and if any one document which is clear with instruction will be useful to me. In this example it is shown with search criteria with sigle text box and if any one had idea & code to place an combo box and population of the record group in the combo box.
Thank you in advance.

hi,
we will be releasing a new example w.r.t creating a parameter form using the reports JSP within the next month.
as for your request for a combo box. this widget is not available via regular HTML form elements. you can either have a select list or dropdown list.
for a regular select list you would use the following (only pseudo-code)
<select ...>
<rw:foreach>
<option value="<rw:field .../>">
</rw:foreach>
</select>
to populate a select list.

Unclean conversion of chart reports to html form

dear all,
i created some charts like pie, bar graphs. i want to convert
that chart reports to html form.
my problem is that after conversion of chart reports to html form,
whatever the part of chart is unclean, it's totally in block colour.
what to do to present that chart part in RGB colour format on
the web. please some one help me as it is urgently required.
i am using the reports buider 6i.
thanks in advance

Here 'part of chart is unclean' means: that a report contained
two parts one is normal )in the form of data) , 2nd one is graphical
representation(pie or bar graph which is imported from graphics
builder) of that dat.
The above quoted statement means that graphical representation
part is not clear.
i tried for the solution(Danny's suggestion). but it didn't workout.
could any one tell another solution?
TIA

Reports 6i -- How to create an HTML form template before form processing

Hello Oracle Reports Gurus,
I'm using Oracle Reports 6i and trying to create an HTML form WITHOUT using the Oracle Reports 6i parameter form builder. The goal: to take a web page already in existence containing a form with checkboxes and radio buttons and make it 'transparent' to my users in hooking it to Oracle Reports. So far, I made my HTML page (with form and all) a "header" file for my Oracle report and didn't place anything in the parameter form builder. However, upon doing so, Reports 6i decided to be extra helpful and place form elements into the Parameter form builder.
So,
1) Is there a way to take a web page with a form and all and easily "plug it" into Oracle Reports 6i WITHOUT using the Parameter Form builder?
2) Is there another way to create an HTML form that will allow me to have radio buttons, checkboxes, etc?
Thanks in advance from this Oracle Reports newbie,

lee,
i am not exactly sure what you are trying to do. since you state you use HTML, i assume you are running 3-tier with the report server, right ?
if so, the easiest way to hook your parameter form up to your report is to just pass the URL to the report as the action URL for your form.
in 9i/10g we provide the Reports Web source, which is based on JSP and allows you to paste HTML into your report to create a highly customized HTML parameter form.
i am afraid in 6i, we don't provide a way to actually combine your HTML form ito the report. it needs to stay separate, but can link to the report using the way i described above.
thanks,
ph.

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.

I guess you have to use web.show_document - I found this article
on DevConnect:
Article-ID: <Note:68647.1>
Circulation: PUBLISHED (EXTERNAL)
Platform: GENERIC Generic issue
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;

Reports web layout HTML

Dear Friends
I am Relatively new to reports. Can you please help me with the following Q's(using report 9i)
1. I created a report in tabular form and in the web layout I cannot see the table cell lines?
2. So I edited the HTML code and gave bordercolour. Now web lay out worke fine. But when I call the report from forms (ie when the report is shown using the reports server) these lines are again not shown? Why?
The HTML code in this is not what we see in the HTML view of report developer ? Why so?
Thanks & Regards
Sajan

hi there
viewing reports in html format has limitation according to oracle reports server. So instead of viewing the data through html format try to choose htmlcss which is style sheet of html format.
While calling reports from form builder pass the destype parameter as htmlcss instead of html
Hope this helps

Web Report not working with parameter form

Hi,
I have a report which has got a parameter form. This report is
running fine in client/server environment. But when I deploy the
same report on web (CGI) using PARAMFORM=YES, I am getting the
parameter form and after pressing the SUBMIT button I am getting
a blank report under the following two cases even though I have
data for that query:
CASE1: <input type="hidden" name="desformat" value="html">
then I am getting the report with no data retrieved.
CASE2: <input type="hidden" name="desformat" value="pdf">
then I am getting completely blank report (no logo, no column
titles, etc.)
See the HTML code below. Remember, the same thing is running
fine in client/server environment. Moreover, if I make a HTML-
coded form for the report then everything on the client's
browser is running fine. But this is not what we want, 'coz we
are running the "BEFORE PARAMETER FORM" trigger in the report.
So, should I conclude that web-reports does not work with the
parameter forms?? Is it a bug???

No pal, that's not the problem. The problem lies with the
"BEFORE PARAMETER FORM" report trigger on the web. Check this
out on ur report server and u will understand my problem.

Report Parametr form not appearing on the WEB

I have a report develped using developer6 which has a parameter form to accept some values from the user befor exicuting the repot. We want to web enable this report. We are using Oracle9iAS web server on Solaris. Everything compiled fine, but when running throug web the parameter form is not apperaing and user is not able to enter the values needed to be used in report query, thus the report is failing. Please help. (same is the case when I tried with Oracle8i on windowsNT as webserver and developer 6i for report server)
-Prakash V.Menon

Hi,
we have so many webreprots with Parameter form working and as such there are no issues like this also.
You have to specify the paramater PARAMFORM=HTML in the URL so that it can show the parameter form .
Please specify the URL which you are using.
Cheers :-))
