Web.show_document built-in problem

I use the web.show_document(url,target) built-in to call a web report from a form when i replace the target with _blank the report doesn't be called, however when i replace the target with _self,_parent,_top, the report is called.
I want to call the report in a new window so i should use _blank option
Please tell me how can i put the target equal _balnk

Note : When i run the form from forms builder, it calls the report and everything is OK, However when i run it from the web(using internet explorer 6), it doesn't call the report.
please tell me what is the problem with me ?

Web.show_document jre+ie problem

dear all,
i'm trying to call reports from forms, on when_button_pressed trigger, and it works fine when the report is called from JRE applet (I'm using jre instead Jinitiator) through Firefox.
But, when i call my form with Internet explorer, and click on button, another IE window is opened and got message "Enter your Single Sign-On user name and password to sign in"! [error_picture|[URL=http://img171.imageshack.us/i/ssoproblem.jpg/]]
I tried to set: IE->tools->internet options->general->tabs (on the bottom of general tab)->When a pop-up is encountered:Always open pop-ups in a new tab
and Open links from other programs in:A new tab in the current window, but still not works... :(
Here's the code I'm using on when_button_pressed trigger.
DECLARE
     hidden_action VARCHAR2(2000) :='';
     rep_url varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
     hidden_action := hidden_action ||'&userid=' ||GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(username)||'/'||
     GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(password)||'@'||GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(connect_string);
     rep_url:='/reports/rwservlet?server=rep_ep-pis-03_OH_PORTAL&report=Acc_mrg_izvj_new.rdf'
     ||'&desformat=pdf&destype=cache&'||hidden_action||''     ||'&p_deptno=10&paramform=no';
     WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(rep_url,'_blank');
     message(hidden_action);
END;my configuration:
Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.3.0,
IE: Version: 8.0.6001.18702
DB: 10.2.1...
Thx in advance,
Adnan
Edit: unfortunately, it seems that I have the same problem with firefox. Username which is necessary to logon on SSO window is portal administrator. It means that I have to somehow connect DB and AS (report server services) and allow database users to run reports via Oracle portal...

Problem is solved ! This note from metalink helped me: [ID 316223.1]
1. Make a back up of the following files:

$ORACLE_HOME/reports/conf/<report server>.conf
2. In the rwservlet.properties:
change:
#SINGLESIGNON=YES

3. In the <report server>.conf:
change:
   <security id="rwSec" class="oracle.reports.server.RWSecurity">

Web.show_document not working on 10.1.2.0.2 AS

Hey guys. I just recently installed the stand alone AS forms and reports server 10.1.2.0.2.. the reporting functionality is not working...
basically the application uses the reports engine to create a PDF file which is then read by the web.show_document built in. It works on the developer AS, but doesnt work for the forms and reports AS...
the link I am reading the file from looks like this..
http://<IP ADDRESS>:7777/forms/reports_output/116_rec_jan.PDF
where the "IP ADDRESS" is the IP of the sever, and "/reports_output" is a virtual directory. Do I have the wrong port or something? The file "116_rec_jan.PDF" does exist on the server so I can't see the problem...
Could it be that I dont have adobe reader on my server? Does the AS use the server's adobe reader to read the file or the client side adobe reader? Anyone know whats going on? Thanks for your thoughts.
Mo

The /forms part doesn't look right to me. Both /forms and /reports_output are virtual directories. I doubt that they resolve stacked on top of each other. Try taking out the /forms part.

WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT opens additiional IE browser.

Hi All,
I am using web.show_document (web.show_document('file:///file_name','_blank') ) to open pdf and msg files stored at a location. For PDF files, web.show_document works fine and pdf file gets open. However for msg (email) files, a new browser gets open along with msg file. User need to close this additional browser.
Also the word files opens in IE browser. We need not to open MS office files in IE browser.
Any suggestions to overcome this issue.
Regards,
Vinit
Edited by: Vinit on Feb 21, 2011 2:37 AM

Vinit,
Your code explicetly opens a new "Blank" browser window. The reason the new browser window goes away with the .pdf files is because you have an OS MIME association for .pdf's which controls how the file is opened on the OS. Clearly, there is no MIME association for the other file types.
web.show_document (web.show_document('file:///file_name','_blank') )Try '_self' or '_parent' in place of '_blank'. For more information on the Web.Show_Document built-in please check the Forms Help system.

If someone's response is helpful or correct, please mark it accordingly.

Unable to create a reports server to test web.show_document in Forms 10.1.2

Hi all,
In Forms 10.1.2 DS, I'm trying to use the web.show_document built-in to 'generate' a report from a .jsp file. This JSP file was created by wizard through creating a report object in the Object Navigator. The code I'm using from a push button is as follows:
web.show_document('http://<hostname>:8889/reports/rwservlet?report=<dirpath>\Sales.jsp&userid=<username/password@connectstring&server=<server_name>'
As far as I am aware no 'reports server' has been created so I've tried the following command in a dos window:
rwserver -install <server_name>
but this just raises an 'alert' indicating that I should consult an installation guide to setup and install the server. So my questions are:
(1) Is what I'm trying to do supported in DS?
(2) What installation guide should I consult?
Any information on this would be gratefully appreciated,
Kevin.

Hi Inol,
Thanks for the response. I agree with the comment about exposing user details, I'm just doing a bit of experimenting at the moment! I tried to do what you suggest in terms of changing the URL but whether I reference the server or leave it out, the subsequent browser session seems to hang and then eventually I get a 'Page Not Found' response. On using the URL 'http://127.0.0.1:8889/reports/rwservlet/showenv?', I get an 'Access Denied' Error Page. Is there something additional I need to set up with regards to Reports to get this to work?
regards,
Kevin.

Web.Show_Document - Is there a file size limitation?

It appears that Web.Show_Document has a problem displaying large .pdfs.
Example: A .pdf size of *2505 KB* would not display, however I compressed the .pdf to *1172 KB* and the report displayed using web.show_document successfully.
I am displaying the .pdf in an Oracle forms using web.show_document. The user presses a button (View Report) and it displays the report. Except, now it is not displaying reports close to 2000 KB in size.
The error says **"Exhausted Resultset"**
Is there a file size limitation with web.show_document?
Environment Background:
Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.4.1.0 (Production)
Oracle Toolkit Version 9.0.4.1.0 (Production)
PL/SQL Version 9.0.1.5.1 (Production)
Report Builder 9.0.4.1.0
ORACLE Server Release 9.0.1.5.1
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production

As already mentioned, WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT has nothing to do with file size. This command simply sends a url to the system's default browser. There is no Oracle magic here.
To the problem, you said:...The error says **"Exhausted Resultset"**Where are you seeing this message?
Is Forms generating this message?
Is this a custom message?
Is this the complete message text?
Is there an error number?
This does not appear to be a Forms generated error message.
I would suggest your store a large file in the same location as where your reports are located. The file should be of the same format (i.e. pdf). Open a browser and manually enter the necessary url to retrieve the content. I suspect the same problem would reproduce IF you believe the problem only occurs when the form calls WEB.SHOW. If it does reproduce then you have at least simplified the problem to a client browser requesting a document from a server.

Martin,
the problem isn't with web.show_document but with teh Adobe plugin that can only run with one instance in a Webbrowser. Web.Show_document - seen technically - is nothing else than a URL requests no longer under the control of Forms

Problem with web.show_document with Jinitiator and Firefox

Not sure Firefox 2.0 is officially certified with Forms 9.0.4.1 and Jinitiatorbut regardless we have some users who want to use this combination. Everything seems to work fine except for the calls to web.show_document which opens a new browser window and displays some html etc.
The problem is that even though the client Forms JVM is Jinitiator (1.3.1.18 or .21) when the call to web.show_document occurs somehow the Sun Java Plugin starts and having the two JVM's at once causes a fatal crash in Firefox. Can anyone suggest a way to preven the second JVM from opening?
When the user uses the Sun Plug as the client Forms JVM there is no problem as the second JVM does not open. Unfortunately some users insist on Jinitiator with Firefox hence the problem. -quinn

James,
This whole applet embedded in a browser model for webforms is driving us batty at times. The list of problems includes:
1) Users are constantly tempted by browser controls and accidentally do all sorts of things to get them in trouble. This has included but not limited to using the navigation arrows, jumping off to read their email in the same window as the form and returning to a dead forms session, minimizing, resizing, blurring off to another window and then returning back by clicking on the title bar of the browser and wondering why the form doesn't tab etc.
Sure hobbling the browser by opening with limited functionality is a possibility but not a complete solution.
2) New versions of browsers seem to break something. Both IE 7 and Firefox 2 have their own problems with web.show_document, especially file associations such as CSV and DBF and trying to open things in Excel in IE7.Firefox seems to have less problems for some yet some some oddities like the one that started this thread (and 2.0 opening new windows in tabs by default instead of windows).
3) JVM jigsaw puzzle. Is it Jinit or Sun, which versions? Which combinations of browser version and JVM works.
4) General fragility of the whole architecture. Running a client JVM in a web browser on top of a PC Operating system connectiong to a forms server over a network embedded in a Java Container server on a full blown web server running on a unix operating system is pushing the bubble. Throw in the mix that any of these components can be combined in numerous ways makes one wonder how it works as well as it does.
Still users randomly getting dropped connections to forms server (network gltches?). General sluggishness (poorly written forms?). Periods of users with unduplicatable errors primarily network related it would appear.
General feel that it is not rock solid stable. Perusing metalink documents on performance and tuning gives too much and too general info to troubleshoot so just shrug shoulders and say 'network problem'.
What's the solution? Java webstart would seem to help at least with the browser realted issues but is that supported and documented how to use yet. Also we'd lose web_show_document which is critical (could it be replaced by webutil calls to open browser?).

Problem with web.show_document in calling report

Hi ,
I have started the reports server... Programs->run->"C:\oracle\product\DevSuite10g\BIN\rwserver.exe server".
The system started a report server called "f".
Pressing a button:
declare
begin
URL_VAR:='/reports/rwservlet?server='||rep_server_name_var||'&report=texnikos_user\mod3_hmerolog_kinisis_.RDF'||'&desformat='||desformat_var||'&destype='||destype_var||'&userid='||username_var||'/'||password_var||'@'||tns_var||'¶mform='||param_form_var;
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(URL_VAR,'_parent');
end;The system displays the error:
REP-52266: failed starting the Reports Server f.oracle.reports.RWException: IDL:oracle/reports/RWException:1.0.
As action Oracle points out about it:
Please make sure the server is not already started as a stand alone server.
But there is not.... The server f has started successfully....
Do you have any idea why is that...???
NOTE: I use Oracle Dev10g. I also noticed that in the window which shows the status of the report server... in the last line as "active threads"(i don't know if i translated into english right ... the status is displayed in greek) that there are 2. Is this problem...???
Thanks, alot
Simon

Eventually , the report run... when the active thread got the value 1. How is it done...(i mean the value of 1 , instead of 2 when the report started...????) How to secure that the active thread would be 1 if this is the problem...????
However , because the report is 2 page accross.... the report displays the first page and down the other page.... Is it possible to display both pages accross as i see them in report builder env....?????
Thanks , a lot

Problem: Web.Show_Document with separate frame = True

We run our application in a seperate frame, so the applet is running outside our browser. When I change the URL in the browser-window the Forms Built-In Web.Show_Document does not work anymore (no browser window will be shown). Is it possible to solve this?

Maurice,
though Forms shows in a separate frame, the Applet instance is in the Browser window. If you change the URL in the Browser window then this is equivalent to closing the Applet session. The sepratate frame is a Java Frame that is called similar to
Frame f = new Frame();
f.show();
There is no way to change this except the suggestion to make the Browser Window small as possible do the user does not play with it.

Web.show_document spaces in the URL problem

Hi,
I am using Web.Show_document to call the report from the form. Here some of the parameters having a spaces. It is giving a problem and report is not running. Pl guide me in this issue.
Thanks & Regards,
Gangi Reddy

Try using %20 in place of the space in the URL.

Help: Passing parameter to WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT problem.

In the following sample code:
DECLARE
rep_url varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
rep_url:=/reports/rwservlet?server=repserv10g@fnimphiu-pc&report=reptest.rdf
||&desformat=htmlcss&destype=cache&userid=scott/tiger@orcl
||&p_deptno=10&paramform=no;
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(rep_url,_blank);
END;
Instead of hard coding, I tried to pass a made assignment to &p_deptno by writing:
&p_deptno=:PARAMETER.p_depno
where :PARAMETER.p_depno is an existing parameter with value. It does not work.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.
Jimmy

Not sure if this is what you want, are you trying to hide the value or just assign it when web-show_document is called:
rep_url:=/reports/rwservlet?server=repserv10g@fnimphiu-pc&report=reptest.rdf
||&desformat=htmlcss&destype=cache&userid=scott/tiger@orcl
||&p_deptno='||:PARAMETER.p_deptno||'&paramform=no;
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(rep_url,_blank);
You will see the value in the URL, but it will populate the value when web.show_document is called.
