Hi

when i call a report from a form using web.show_document, it displays the full details in the URL (when u run it on the browser)....server ip,port,report location,userid and password....destype,desformat....parameters etc...

How can i hide everything except the server and report name from the URL in the simplest manner...?

I am using DeveloperSuite 10g.

Please help me urgently.

Thanks and regards.

hi Charu,

You can hide user name and password by configuring report key in cgicmd.dat file in report/conf folder of your DevSuite. and you have to install a report server.

hi,

1. Go the folder
<DevSuite>/report/conf.

2. open cgicmd.dat file and put the following code at bellow of file,
rpt1: userid=<user_name>/<Password>@<tns> destype=cache desformat=pdf server=<Report_server_name> %*


3. put the report key "rpt1" in web.show_document procedure.like

web.show_document('/reports/rwservlet?rpt1'||<others parameters>,'_blank');


Thanks,
- Omar

hi charu,
At first put the desformat=html instead of pdf because you want the report in html format not in pdf.

Now use the following code in your form,

WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://Dell05-246.hct.org:8889/reports/rwservlet?rpt1&report=C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\INV_SYS\report\DEP_ROOM.rdf&P1='||:DP_NAME,'window1');

okee....thanks...its working Smile

but u know my boss gave me a bit of code and told me that she used it previously and it wont even show the report name...


DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(20);
begin

repid := find_report_object('REPORT118');

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESNAME,'DEP_ROOM.rdf');

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'htmlcss');

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'repserver90');

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no&P1='||:DP_NAME);

v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);

rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(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://Dell05-246.hct.org:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver90','_blank');
ELSE
message('Error when running report');
END IF;

EXCEPTION

WHEN OTHERS THEN
MESSAGE(SQLERRM);

end;

But when i run this code i get FRM 41214...unable to run report.

Any ideas...as i dont even wan the report name in the URL and if i specify the report name in the cgicmd.bat then it will be full of keys...corresponding to the no. of reports.

Thanks
charu

you can try with modifying two lines of your code,
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'P1='||:DP_NAME);
and
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');

Thanks

DECLARE
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(20);
begin

repid := find_report_object('REPORT118');

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESNAME,'DEP_ROOM.rdf');

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'repserver90');

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'P1='||:DP_NAME);

v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);

rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(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://Dell05-246.hct.org:8889/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=repserver90','_blank');

make sure the report server is running.

If it is, then remove the line rpt1 from cgicmd.

hi charu,
I read your post after sending mail. I am happy that you got the problem.
I have a suggestion for you, Always try to send Id as parameter instead of name. that will be faster your report.

Thanks
