When calling report from forms, only html format report can show chinese characters

To all experts,
When I run report by calling run_report_object() in forms, only html format can show chinese characters. If I choose pdf format, garbage characters were shown instead of chinese characters. My settings on server are as follows:
NLS_LANG=TRADITIONAL CHINESE_HONG KONG.UTF8
FORMS60_REPFORMAT=PDF
Do you know why? I hope to print report in PDF format as PDF turned out to be more regular in format. Is there any additional settings required?
May experts here broaden my mind?

You have two different ways of generating Japanese PDF files from Reoprts. One is font aliasing and the other is font subsetting.

You will need to have the following entries in uiprint.txt (example).
[ PDF ]
.....JA16SJIS = "KozMinPro-Regular-Acro"
"MS UI Gothic".....JA16SJIS = "KozMinPro-Regular-Acro"
You may need to download and install Japanese Font Pack from Adobe's web site (if your Acrobat is non-Japanese version).

You will need to add C:\WINNT\Fonts (or wherever your TTF/TTC fonts are installed) to your REPORTS_PATH.
You will also need to have the following entries in uiprint.txt (example).
[ PDF:Subset ]
"Andale Duospace WT J" = "Aduoj.ttf"
"Albany WT J"="AlbanWTJ.ttf"
"MS UI Gothic" = "msgothic.ttc"

Assuming that you are using version 6i, try using Oracle9i Reports it has support for multi-byte in PDF.
By the way, Reports questions will get better response if you send them on the reports forum.

Maintain session when calling servlet from form in a JSP

I have the following set up:
index.jsp calls login servlet from the action tag in a form.
Login servlet handles the login, stores the user info and db connection in the session and uses forward(req,res) to call another jsp.
That jsp has a form where user enters search info and in that form's action tag there is a search servlet. In the search servlet I am unable to access the session.
Is there any way to pass the session to the servlet from that jsp using a form/action?

I've read elsewhere that if you go from a jsp to a servlet that the >request object is cleared of any attributes from the previous request.which is correct. But arent we speaking about session object here? A request object is valid for a request - ie the phase from where the server receieves a hit for a resource upto the point it sends the output for that request.
A session spans multiple requests.
it doesn't retrieve the session info and gives me a null pointer >exception when I try to use the connection object stored in the session.Bad bad bad . Why do you store Connection objects in session? Create them when necessary or use a connection pool. Do you for example clean up the connections when the session expires. What if its a 30 minute session and the user hits every say 15 minutes with a request. Why do you need to hold on to the Connection in the intervening interval when the user's session is inactive?
gives me a null pointer exception when I try to use the connection object stored in the session.which means that the Connection object is null - not the session object.
That last line is where I get the null pointer exception. And that is
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();?
Same answer as above.
If the session object was null,
userSession.getAttribute("connection");would have thrown a NPE.

Wierd SQL problem when calling StoredProc from Forms's JavaBean

Hello,
I have a Oracle Forms form and it contains JavaBean that uses Oracle DB via JDBC. Wierd thing is that sometimes I get following error in Oracle Forms.
Error: ORA-06550 line, column 13: PLS-00201: identifier 'F1' must be declared ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: Statement ignored.
What in earth this means? Sometimes I don't get it put after a while it starts appearing again.
F1 is a following function in DB:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION F1 ( PN$Param IN NUMBER )
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
BEGIN
DBMS_LOCK.Sleep( PN$Param ) ;
RETURN ('Function ended at ' || To_Char(SYSDATE,'HH24:MI:SS') );
END;
My Oracle Forms Pushbutton code is following: (WHEN-BTN-PRESSED)
Declare
     LC$Res Varchar2(32000) ;
Begin
Set_Custom_Property( 'EMP.BEAN',
1, 'INITCONN', 'jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:demo') ;
Set_Custom_Property( 'EMP.BEAN', 1, 'INITUSER', 'scott' ) ;
Set_Custom_Property( 'EMP.BEAN', 1, 'INITPWD' , 'tiger' ) ;
Set_Custom_Property( 'EMP.BEAN', 1, 'INITFUNC',
'begin ? := ' || 'F1(10);' || ' end;' ) ;
Message('Command sent'); synchronize;
End ;
And JavaBean just fetch data using JDBC code below:
CallableStatement function = conn.prepareCall (sQuery);
function.registerOutParameter(1, Types.CHAR);
function.execute ();
sValue = function.getString (1) ;
function.close();
The purpose is to wait 10 seconds and then return time after that.
I have put JavaBeans code in jar file, signed it and declated it to Oracle Forms.
When I have created F1 I have granted execute public access:
grant execute on F1 to public;
Have anyone any ideas what could cause this kind of error?
Cheers!

Do they give support to their sample snippets?
Yep, StoredProc+PLSQL is taken from French site's sample to this sample
but that is the real issue of samples. Or do you disagree?
But I and my collague have same problems with same kind of thing.
One thing was that taking time from DB might charge more user rights... but I'm not sure. So, please tell if you know something. Quite mnny seems to have problems with that SP.

REP 110 & REP 0110 .calling reports from Form 10g(10.1.2.0.2)

Hi All,
We are migrating form from Oracle form 6i to Oracle 10g(10.1.2.0.2). I am calling reports from forms
using Web.Show_Docment(). When we run reports in report builder 10g it works fine.
But when we try to run reports from Forms 10g it throws error which is given below.
We want to run reports from UNIX. After using this url to submit report we get error REP 110 and REP 0110

Hello,
You are mixing 2 separators in the URL : & and +
Use only one separator in the URL :

Calling report from form. Need PDF output

I am calling a report from a form using RUN_PRODUCT. I need to display the form in PDF format. When the user clicks the button in the form to run the report, acrobat reader should open up and the report displayed there. Please help.
Thanks

Thanks for the response. The first part worked. I am able to get the output in PDF format. In the 2nd part where I want to open acrobat and display the output, I am having some trouble with the code. When I compile, it says
win_api_environment.read_registry must be declared. Is there some package I need to attach?
Also, in the After reports trigger, how do I pass vFile (I am assuming this is the PDF file name)?
Thanks
The first thing you'll want to do is pass parameters to the report IE DESTYPE, DESNAME and DESFORMAT where these could be FILE, 'c:\temp\report' and PDF.
Then, you can try this piece of code I wrote (with some help from other people at Metalink and here) sometime back. Now, I call it from forms, but in your case, you'd have to run it in the after report trigger. Since with RUN_PRODUCT you don't know when the report is finished, if you did it from the form, it wouldn't work correctly.

Calling Report From Form To Many Destinations

Hi
I am calling reports from forms using SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY and then run_report_object.
I dont know the destination until runtime of the report which is ok as I can pass this in via my procedure, but if that destination is many ie mail and file what is the best way to distribute the report?
I could call my procedure for each destination but that seems a bit unefficient since the report would be created many times, is there another way?

what about adding a drop-down-list near your report-button where you can choose the destination?
when you click the report-button you simply read the value selected in the drop-down-list and send it to your reports-server too.

Hi,
Thank you for your replay.
The problem have solved.
This my step :
1. Install Windows XP SP2 and Form 10.1.2.0.2 on new pc.
2. Install Jinit version 1.3.1.28.
3. Create report server
3. Compile form, report and pll
4. call report from from with this procedure :
PROCEDURE Call_Report (vFILENAME varchar2) IS
report_id                Report_Object;
ReportServerJob VARCHAR2(100);
vc_rep_status      VARCHAR2(100);
repsvr                          varchar2(21) := 'myserv';
userid                         VARCHAR2(100);
pass                          VARCHAR2(100);
Host                    VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
userid          := Get_Application_Property(USERNAME) ;
pass          := Get_Application_Property(PASSWORD) ;
Host          := Get_Application_Property(CONNECT_STRING) ;
report_id:= find_report_object('REPORT');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_FILENAME,vFILENAME||'.jsp');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,repsvr);
ReportServerJob:=run_report_object(report_id);
vc_rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(ReportServerJob);
WHILE vc_rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED', null)
LOOP
vc_rep_status:=REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(ReportServerJob);
END LOOP;
IF vc_rep_status='FINISHED' THEN
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet?report='||vFILENAME||'.jsp'||'&userid='||userid||'/'||pass||'@'||Host||'&destype=CACHE&desformat=PDF&paramform=yes','_blank');
ELSE

Ok, but i have another strange error. I will post new thread.
Thank you and regards

CALLING A REPORT FROM FORMS (PROBLEM)

MY PROBLEM IS THE NEXT:
I CREATED A MASTER-DETAIL REPORT CALLING 'ASUNTOS'WITH THE NEXT QUERY:
SELECT ABOGADOS.APELLIDO_P,ABOGADOS.APELLIDO_M,ABOGADOS.NOMBRES,
ASUNTOS.EXP_INT,ASUNTOS.MATERIA,ASUNTOS.GERENCIA,
ASUNTOS.EMPRESA,ASUNTOS.RECLAMA,ASUNTOS.PESOS,
ASUNTOS.DOLARES
FROM ABOGADOS,ASUNTOS
WHERE ABOGADOS.FICHA = ASUNTOS.F_ABOG
AND ASUNTOS.F_ABOG = :ABOGADO ;
-- ABOGADO = PARAMETER.
THIS REPORT WORKS FINE THE PROBLEM IS WHEN I TRY CALL THIS REPORT FROM FORM I'VE USE A BUTTON(WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED) WITH THE NEXT CODE:
DECLARE
LISTA PARAMLIST := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('ABOG');
BEGIN
IF ID_NULL(LISTA) THEN
LISTA := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('ABOG');
ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'PRINTER');
ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER,'LPT2');
ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'ABOGADO',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR(:ASUNTOS.F_ABOG));
-- ADD_PARAMETER(LISTA,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'YES');
END IF;
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,'ASUNTOS',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,LISTA,NULL);
END;
BUT THE REPORT NOTHING DISPLAY.
THERE ARE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CODE IN THE BUTTON

Roberto,
Does your report work when it is not called from Forms?
try the following:
[TOOLS_HOME]\BIN\RWRUN60 module=ASUNTOS destype=screen userid=<username>/<password>@<tns> ABOGADO=<some_valid_code>
where TOOLS_HOME is the directory where Reports is installed.
I can see nothing wrong with your code.
Maybe some error in the query?
Also, I would check for the existence of multiple ASUNTOS report definitions. Maybe Forms is calling an older one.
Hope this helps,

When run report from form(6i) on the web,error FRM-921000

While I was trying to run report from form (6i)on the web,it will give me this error
message FRM-921000 and hang.
But when I try to call form using form,I do
not have the problem.
May I know ehat is the cause?
Anybody encounter this before?
Thanks

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.

Invalid Id when i run reports from forms

When i try to run my reports from forms, i get FRM-41219 Cant Find Report: Invalid ID.
I am using 8I and Developer 6.0.
The RDF files are saved on my hard disk.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks
Fadi

Hello fadi,
if you are still getting the problem, even when every thing is fine, just do this one, you replace with full absolute path in the place of report name when passing arguments to the run_product, i have the same problem initially but now its working hope this works, if still your problem exists, just try to build new report with default settings, it might be vauge, just try out some things work out in this way only.
have a nice day.
