Weblink to launch report

Hi ,
I have a detail report that contains details of a service request. I want to have a web link on the SR form that user will click to display the report for the SR they are currently viewing.
The questions i have are:
What URL sysntax will i neeed to launch the report from a web link?
What do i need on my report that will allow me to run it for a specific SR number? Is this acheived by having a filter or a prompt defined on my report?
Any help is appreciated.

Disabling a weblink within a report

In accounts, I have a report(Dues) which reports on fields in CO1.
There is a weblink to launch another report (Past Due Details), within the report 'Dues', which reports on fields in CO2.
I wish to either:
1. Disable the weblink within report 'Dues', if one of the fields(Total Past Due), within the same report contains the value '0.00'.
or
2. pass the value of 'Total Past Due' (when clicking on the weblink) so that it displays a blank report or a report with an error message.
I hope someone can help me out with this 'roadblock'....

Hi Rod,
just to make sure that I understood you correctly.
You have a report with a row selector and NO default ApplyMRU process. Instead you have written a process (on submit - after comp and validation) with the code you posted, where you now try to insert into another table than the report is based on. Correct? If so, you where already close with your solution.
BEGIN
    FOR i IN 1.. HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
        INSERT INTO PL_ALB_IMGS VALUES (PL_ALB_IMGS_SEQ.nextval, HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i), :P16_ALBUM_ID);
    END LOOP;
END;You could also use my Plug & Play Tabular Form handling (http://inside-apex.blogspot.com/2006/12/plug-play-tabular-form-handling.html).
In that case your code would look like that.
BEGIN
    FOR i IN 1 .. ApexLib_TabForm.getRowCount
    LOOP
        INSERT INTO PL_ALB_IMGS VALUES (PL_ALB_IMGS_SEQ.nextval, ApexLib_TabForm.V('CHECK$01', i), :P16_ALBUM_ID);
    END LOOP;
END;This library allows you to access columns by there name.
Hope this helps

How can i launch the report builder from client machines.
But when i try to launch the application from the server itself then it runs fine. I am not able to run it from client machines
kukdai

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you could not launch report builder in the client machine.
Did you install the .Net 4.0 framework on your machine?
.Net 4.0 framework needed to be installed on each user's machine, you can install it, then check whether it works.

As this is the forum for SharePoint server on-premise, I’m not familiar with the Reporting service, for this issue, I recommend you can post a new question in the forum for SQL Server Reporting Services.

Forms-launched Reports - General Concept Question

With client/server forms and reports in 6i I launched reports by selecting them directly off a menu (mmx). This brought up the report's (attached) parameter and then the user ran the report.
I'm re-engineering the application in 10gR2 and the documentation I've looked at describes how you need to create a reports object under the report node within an Oracle form. I'm missing a piece of the general concept here. I've got 120 reports that currently each appear as menu items and when selected that launches the report (as described above). Should I be replacing each of those menu item calls to a report with a call to a form that is now the 'jump off' point for each report? i.e.- Do I have to create a form for each of my reports?

Hi,
I have done the similar migaration of reports...
2 Ways for this....One - You can create forms and then call the reports........I hope you can do the changes...
Two - You can add report object to the form in which the menu is attached and add few parameters ( i added five parameters bu these may be different in your case ) to the reports so that you can display the reports parameter form in the browser itsef before running the reports from menus......you can use RP2RRO library for this.

How do I launch report from menu using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT?

Hi all,
Re: How do I launch report from menu (and have it print to the screen) using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT?
I am using Oracle 9iAS on Windows 2000 and I have a similar problem with launching reports from the menu. The application should call the report via the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT builtin feature from Forms. The report is never displayed.
The report is in the same folder as the menu form calling it. Do the reports have to be in a specific format? How do I get the report_id?
The name of the report is seconds_calls. No user-specified parameters are passed. Also, the report object in the object navigator in Forms is Report4 (is this relevant?)
When I try to run report via the form using this code:
DECLARE
     report_id REPORT_OBJECT;
     rep_status VARCHAR2(200);
     v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
     report_job_id VARCHAR2(200);
--     job_number NUMBER;
--     server_name VARCHAR2(200) := 'repserver';
BEGIN
     report_id:= FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('seconds_calls');
     rep_status:=REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(report_job_id);
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
END;
I get this error message:
FRM-41219 Cannot find report:Invalid ID
And this message
FRM-40738 Argument 1 to builtin RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be null
When I tried to use the same code (above), substituting the object name for the form name,
I got these messages:
FRM-41219 Cannot find report:Invalid ID
FRM-40738 Argument 1 to builtin RUN_REPORT_OBJECT cannot be null
And FRM-10259 Invalid null argument to packaged procedure or function (???)
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Pippa

Philippy,
substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)
This code extracts the Reports job id from the Reports Server name. The run_report_object() built-in
retrieves e.g. RepServ_9 as a job id, but in Reports9i you only need the '9' as a value to retrieve the
output.
Use the following sample a template. It is a procedure that expects the reports object name, teh reports server name and the
output format as an argument. The call to Web.show_document expects the ReportsSrevices to be accessible from teh same server
(relative addressing is used)
PROCEDURE RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC (vc_reportobj Varchar2, vc_reportserver varchar2, vc_runformat varchar2) IS
v_report_id           Report_Object;
vc_ReportServerJob      VARCHAR2(100); /* unique id for each Report request */
vc_rep_status      VARCHAR2(100); /* status of the Report job */
vjob_id               VARCHAR2(100); /* job_id as number only string*
BEGIN
/* Get a handle to the Report Object itself. */
v_report_id:= FIND_REPORT_OBJECT(vc_reportobj);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
/* Define the Report output format and the name of the Reports Server as well as a user-defined parameter, passing the department number from Forms to the Report. We don't need a parameter form to be displayed, and therefore paramform is set to "no". */
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT, vc_runformat);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_SERVER, vc_reportserver);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(v_report_id,REPORT_OTHER,      'p_deptno='||:dept.deptno||'paramform=no');
vc_ReportServerJob:=RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id);
/* remove the Reports Server name from teh job id */
vjob_id := substr(vc_ReportServerJob,length(reportserver)+2,length(vc_ReportServerJob));
/* Check the report status if finished. */
vc_rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(vc_ReportServerJob);
IF vc_rep_status='FINISHED' THEN
/* Call the Report output to be displayed in a separate browser window.
The URL for relative addressing is only valid when the Reports Server
is on the same host as the Forms Server. For accessing a Remote Reports
Server on a different machine, you must use the prefix http://hostname:port/ */
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid '||vjob_id ||'?server='vc_reportserver,'_blank');
ELSE
message ('Report failed with error message '||vc_rep_status);
END IF;

Xcelsius 2008:Unable to Launch Report in Web Browser via Reporting Services

I am trying to create a dashboard in Xcelsius 2008 using SQL Server Reporting Services.
In the properties of the 'Reporting Services' button I have selected the 'Select Report' button.
Once I have input the reporting services URL and select 'submit', a list of all my reports appear on the left hand side. The problem occurs when I select the 'Launch Report in Web Browser' button. When a new browser opens, the URL is trying to access the local host instead of the correct server.
Do any additional settings need to be updated?
Thanks,
Natalie

FRM-41213 : Error raised by a form when launching report on the same server

Hello !
I get this error FRM-41213 when launching a report via rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product.
I don't want to set the report server in a var or property into a library or a form cause my app is to be sent to customers who will not have the sources files.
This app is a migration from an app 10g to 11g.
In 10g whe hadn't to set the ReportServerURL ... But in 11g it can't be ok if we don't set the server URL (with the URL it's ok)
The 11g Report server is running on port 9002, and the form server on port 9001 on the same machine. But the two server are accessible by an ohs on port 8888.
What the f**k ?
:)

Hi
I don't run my reports using rp2rro.rp2rro_run_product but in both 10g and in 11g have always needed to specify the name of the report server.
We have used different methods for different clients/customers. At times we have stored this name in a table in the application, other times in a pre-defined file on the server which we read using text_io.

Launching report from button in forms

I have a report with a user input parameter that i need to launch from a button within oracle forms,
inputting the url does not display the report because of the perameter is there another way? ive looked into the built ins but they seem overly complicated for what i am trying to achieve as in theory it should be quite simple just to launch the report in the web browser (all of this is client side one machine holding all reports and forms)
really desperate as this has a deadline of tomorrow!!

I have searched and i couldnt find anything specifically to do with client side and perameters, i know how to do it via web browser and the listener etc but with a parameter this does not work.
i literally need to run the web version of the report as in reports builder does through a button
if you know of a thread please point me there thanks!!

Using RUN_PRODUCT to launch report - WEB.

We are in the process of implementing the Forms and Reports
servers. We have them both setup and they work fine by
themseleves. But when I try to launch a report from a Forms
Java applet in my browser, I instantly get the error: "FRM-40733
PL/SQL built-in Run-Product failed".
When I run the form from D2K runtime and launch the report,
everything works fine.
The documentation says setup the following environment variables:
FORMS50_OUTPUT, FORMS50_MAPPING, FORMS50_REPFORMAT. Then after
the variables are set, the report can be called with the
RUN_PRODUCT command.
We have these variables set, has anyone experienced problems
with this before? Is it really as easy as setting those three
variables in the registry?
Any help from someone who has this up and running with the
RUN_PRODUCT command would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Jeff.

Submit page before launching report link

When I define a link on a column in a report region declaratively (using Report Attributes) and point it to the same page (or another page), it creates the link using a URL redirect type of thing. The current page is not submitted before launching the new page.
This is causing me grief since changes on my page that the launched link needs are not stored in session state. How can I submit the current page before launching the link?
Thanks

Vikas,
Redirecting is no different from clicking on any hyperlink anywhere on the web, a link doesnât submit form data, it just goes to another page and might set some data via URL. But form data is not submitted. If you want to have your form data sent to the server, you need to submit an HTML form. HTML DB lets you do that e.g. by calling doSubmit. But this doSubmit call must not be accompanied by a redirect. Just a plain submit, and a branch that lets you define where to go next (e.g. same page). So setting any values via URL will not work when submitting the page. Submitting calls wwv_flow.accept, not f?p. This is why you need to set a form item (page item) on the client via Java Script first before calling doSubmit so that you can referebce that form item later to identify the proper row in your report. To give you an example, just take a look at how I implemented to reports attributes page. Edit any report, go to reports attributes and look at the report that shows your columns. Thereâs an edit icon on each row. Hover over with your mouse and note that this calls Java Script: setColumnIDAndSubmit. Look at the HTML code, find that function and look how it sets a page item value to the current column ID.

Launching reports from HTMLDB

Hi all,
We have reports 6 executeables. We want to launch them from HTMLDB. I "discovered" dbms_scheduler and tried launching them via PL/SQL. However, that is not entirely reliable, since the job intermittently errors out with "file not found".
Is there another way to launch an executable? Or if we migrate to the latest version of reports, can they be launched from HTMLDB?
Please advise,
Johan Arve

"Why doesn't it work with Reports 6i?"
I'm running four different reports via a PL/SQL package that calls dbms_scheduler. One of these reports bug out on a regular basis iff the other three have just been run.
"How Do you call the reports with the dbms_scheduler?"
I've defined them as jobs and run dbms_scheduler.enable via PL/SQL package called by a HTMLDB process.
"If you can start a report via url in the browser, you can call it from pl/sql with utl_http."
OK, how do I start a .rep file via a url?
Thanks for your input.
Best regards,
Johan Arve
