WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT , FRM-92020 Prevention

Hi, I have a forms module where the user can specify a URL and then press a button to launch it using the WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT procedure. If the user doesn't enter a valid URL, they get a message something like:
"frm-92020 Invalid URL C:\temp\test.htm
sent to browser with target _top
Full Details: unkown proctocol: c "
Does anyone know what the complete list of valid protocols would be that WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT accepts? I would like to write some code using this detail to ensure that the user cannot enter a value with an invalid protocol. Obviously http:, file: and ftp: will be the most common, but are there others that WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT will allow?
Thanks,
Michael.

Hi,
its http:// , file:/// and javascript:

Web.show_document gives FRM-92020 error unknown protocol

Hi I am hoping someone can help.
I am using web.show_document in forms 10g and get an FRM-92020 unknown protocol error. The URL I am passing starts fddl:// this is a legitimate call to an Electronic Document management system image search engine. The URL works 100% outside of Forms, i.e cut and paste into an internet Explorer address bar. The problem is with web.show_document parsing for 'known' protocols.
Is there any way I can stop this validation from taking place. Incidentally I can HOST out and call iexplore with the URL and again that works (client Server), however we do not have webutil installed for me to do the webutil equivalent in our live environment!
Any help will be great, thanks in advance.
Trev.

Hi Francois,
thanks for replying.
Yes I am using '_blank' as the second parameter.
The URL I am passing is dynamically genreated and held in a variable. My call is:
web.show_document(l_url,'_blank');
the url evaluates to something like below:
l_url := 'fddl://fmhsqlserv/filedirector/...........................'
I am struggling to find any documentation on web.show_document that will help with this scenario. It is frustrating as the url is 100% OK, its just the evaluation of it by the function call.
Any help or ideas are welcome.

Web.show_document and File Save As

Hello,
I have a Perl CGI scrfipt on the server that I can call from a web brwoser. Its purpose is do save a file passed in to any locatgion on the PC.
In the borowser I can use:
http://devpong/cgi-bin/cap/savefile.cgi?dirpath=/capexp/to_SGP&fname=ZU060920.C78
and I get a Save As dialog and it is written to that directory. Works very well.
This is the Perl CGI code:
use CGI ':standard';
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
my @fileholder;
my ($web_keys)= ["dirpath", "fname", "mode"];
my ($Param) = get_params($Param, $web_keys);
# print_head($Param);
# redirectwindow($Param);
open(DLFILE, "$Param->{dirpath}/$Param->{fname}") || Error('open', 'file');
@fileholder = <DLFILE>;
close (DLFILE) || Error ('close', 'file');
print "Content-Type:application/x-download\n";
print "Content-Disposition:attachment;filename=$Param->{fname}\n\n";
print @fileholder;
I want to do the same thing from the Forms 6i application. In web.show_document I put in the exact same URL that works stand alone in the browser and have tried all of the seceond argument setting (_BLANK, etc.). Just for a millisecond a window opens then immidately closes. I have included a raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE in the trigger to make it wait, but to no avail.
I found a document that said if a URL works in the browser, it will work in web.show_document. That is not true for me.
Do I need to build an html page first to open in the borwser from web.show_document?
Does webutil_file have the ability to let the user choose the destination directory?
What we did in the past was to make sure the file extension was not in the registry of the PC. Then the browser would force a Save As dialog. With XP SP2 this does not work without making several changes to the file types.
That is why I would like a solution that does not rely on file type set up.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Well, it sounds like you want the server to tell the client that this content shouldn't be read from cache...
Among the posible solutions:
Apache can be configurated with modules like 'mod_expires' and 'mod_headers'.
Or, you could write a JSP file that sets the appropriate http headers and streams your file accordingly. The http headers I think you're interested in:
- cache-control (to prevent client caching)
- content-disposition (to set the filename of the download)

IE Security Setting for web.show_document

Hi,
I've run a report on the report server and generated it as a pdf, now I want to open the PDF using web.show_document.
As it starts to open I get an error message saying that the security settings of IE are preventing the opening of the file.
I've not seen this before over a number of different installations. I've disabled the pop-up blocker for this site.
After searching I've not found anything here.
Is there any documentation on what to set the security configuration to?
IAS v 10gR2
IE v 6.0
many thanks
Tony

Make sure that the URL you are opening, the OAS host server domain name in this case, is within the trusted sites of the browser.
It happened with us when opening our application online from the internet.

Abt web.show_document in forms 10g

hi,
i am trying to call the following code in forms 10g
web.Show_document('javascript:alert("hello world")','_blank');
but its not working ,plz help me !!!
ThanX in Advace
chandra

This is a browser problem, not a Forms problem. First check your broswer to make sure it has JavaScript enabled. If it still doesn't work, and you are able access a html page using web.show_document(), then your browsers security setting is preventing the JavaScript operation from ocurring.
It works for me and i'm using IE v6.0.2900 sp2.

I am running Forms 6i on the web and attempting to call me report via RUN_REPORT_OBJECT. I am getting the same error as Jenny FRM-92100. I need to pass a parameter list so I don't think I can use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT. Any ideas???
Thanks,

Dear Jenny,
I am running reports from Forms 6i on the WEB. I did not encounter your problem. Nevertheless I would like to share the following with you.
RUN_PRODUCT doesn't work for calling reports ON THE WEB. Instead using RUN_PRODUCT do the following:
1. Install Oracle Reports Server
2. For WEB calls of reports use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT
3. Learn how to pass parameters to the reports. It is a litlle bit strange, but it is explaint excellent in the documentation to the Reports Server.
I hope this will help you.

Calling a report with web.show_document and put pdf in temp directory

Hi,
I need to call a report 10g with web.show_document in order to generate a .pfd file (not viewed by the user) as soon as the user press a button in a form.
I have two problems. Firstly, after generate .pdf, it's opened a undesirable windows "process succefully" (I don't want that window). Secondly, in url parameter, I put:
(...)DESTYPE=File&DESFORMAT=pdf&DESNAME=' || client_win_api.get_temp_directory
the target directory to .pdf file might be the user temporary directory, and not c:\temp, because in Windows XP the user haven't some writing privileges.
How there is spaces in temporary directory, like:
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Configurations\Temp
I supose that Get_temp_directory returns something that:
C:\Documen~1\<user>\Local~1\Temp
And web.show_document don't understand.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks a lot,
medina.

Hi Maahjoor,
i have install windows xp on vmware having loop back adapter configure with ip 192.168.10.1.i am using oracle developer 10g suite and oracle 10g r2 database.
i want to call a report using the following code on a button.i have attached the report to the form.
i have started the report server by issuing rwserver server=repsrv.
DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(20);
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('ALL_EXPENSES');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
rep_status := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status IN ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.10.1:8889/reports/rwservlet'||substr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
ELSE
Message('Error when running report');
END IF;
end;now when i run the command, i get this error
frm-41214: unable to run the report
frm-41219: cannot find the report.invalid id.
argument 1 to builtin run_report_object acnnot be null.
i thin the problem is with this line. WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://192.168.10.1:8889/reports/rwservlet'||substr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1||'?'||'server=repsrv','_blank');
can anyone help? or a better piece of code?>
I think you are mixing up the web.show_document usage for URL and with RUN_REPORT_OBJECT.
I hope you have studied this document http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/migration/frm10gsrw10g-132606.pdf . It has the required examples and code.

Firefox + web.show_document()

Hi guys
I'm developing an application in 10gR2, testing on firefox 1.5.0.7.
The issue I am having is that web.show_document(<url>,'_blank') only works once in firefox. The next time it is called, no browser window pops up. I literally have to shut Firefox down completely and restart it in order for another call to show_document to work. I have tried closing just the form and the tab in firefox (but keeping firefox open), then restarting the form. The next call to show_document in this case does nothing... so I truly have to completely exit the firefox application for the next show_document call to work.
The same form is able to launch multiple separate windows in IE 6 without problem.
Anyone has a similar experience or ideas?
Is there any way to detect which browser the client is running without a custom bean?
Thanks

I have just tested this with Firefox 1.5.0.7 and Jinit 1.3.1.22 and Sun 1.4.2_12 and Sun 1.5.0_09. I cannot reproduce the problem.
Be sure that you do not have any popup blockers or other Internet Security applications preventing the new page from being launched. Consider applications like Norton Internet Security and McAfee Internet Security.

This configuration file is present in the /reports/conf/ directory.
It contains a few examples, very usefull if you want to hide some informaztion, like the connection string for instance.
you can call it by setting the entry name in the url:

To access pdf files from application server using web.show_document

Hello!
If my pdf file is copied in Oracle_home/forms90/java directory.Then using web.show_document i can access the pdf file.But I can't copy all the pdf files in /forms90/java directory.We have lacs of pdf files which I want to keep in my own directory.But my requirement is if my pdf file is in /home2/docs directory in (Linux application server) ie in my own directory where I store all the pdf files.Then web.show_document does not open the pdf file.It says page cannot be displayed.For that I think we have to configure the directory /home2/docs directory as a webserver.From otn I got something like forms90.conf file in application server where we have to set virtual directory mapping etc.If the pdf is in local machine then in orion-web.xml file we have to mention real path and save the file and shutdown oc4j instance and restart it again.I tried it.But it is not working.Can u give me step by step instructions to solve this problem.I found a few links in discussion forum.But is doesn't work out.My pdf file is in /home2/docs directory in Linux application server.Please treat it as urgent.
Regards

Hi Sandeepmsandy,
There is no available code sample for this scenario. You may write your own.
Step 1: Get pdf URL from sqlite database. Please refer to the following MSDN blog and see a code sample.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertgreen/archive/2012/11/13/using-sqlite-in-windows-store-apps.aspx. Note, you need to retarget the project to 8.1 and then get two sqlite packages from NuGet before building this sample.
Step 2: Use some special classes to get file from serer.
HttpWebRequest can help download small pdf files. For more information to see
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/de96a61c-e089-4595-8349-612be5d23ee6/download-file-with-httpwebrequest?forum=winappswithcsharp. It’s easy for use, but if you want to download the larger or many files, it’s recommend to use
BackgroundTransfer namespace. The classes in this namespace provide a power way to transfer files in the background. See a code sample from MSND.

Closing the browser windows created by web.show_document and javascript

From Forms I am issuing a http request using web.show_document and javascript:window.open(). The http request makes a remote procedure call to a coldfusion component on a JRun appserver. I want this rpc to fire in the background so that the current forms browser window remains as is.
The logic is as follows
l_rpcURL := 'http://....just a standard URL.....'; -- edited for this thread
l_jsURL := 'javascript:window.open("' || l_rpcURL || '","","fullscreen=no,titlebar=no,location=no,toolbar=no,menubar=no,status=no,resizable=no");self.close();';
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT (l_jsURL,'_blank');
The http request works fine but leaves a browser window behind. It's the one created by the javascript.window.open(). If I remove the self.close() from the javascript then I have two browser windows open, one from web.show_document and the other, as described previously, from the window.open().
Any idea how I can force closure of the window opened by the window.open() ?
Thanks

Hi,
did this occured afer installing service pack 2?
A work around is The only solution that is to create a close.html file and calling this file in the code: Web.show_document('http://server:port/close.html','_self');
<html>
<body onload="closeit()">
<script>
window.close();
</script>
</body>
</html>

Web.Show_Document does not work with long running reports

I am using Web.Show_Document() to call reports from Forms. Everything works fine for smaller reports. However for long running reports I do not get the output instead get the page "This page cannot be displayed.". On checking the job status on the report server I find that report is still running and completes after some time but by that time my http request has already timed out. What configuration do I have to change to make my long running reports work.
Thanks

So, looks like this is an IE issue. I need to add the form server site to my list of Trusted Sites. Once I did that, everything started to work fine. Thought I'd share in case anyone is really interested.....

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.
