U can Try to use this code
PROCEDURE CALL_REPORT(REP_NAME IN VARCHAR2,para_list in varchar2) IS
 	Report_Id report_object;
	hTimer timer;
	vcFile varchar2(255);
	vcResult varchar2(30);
	pl_id ParamList;
	GEN_NUMBER NUMBER(2);
 	rootDir Varchar2(255);
 	ServerName Varchar2(255);
 	repServerName Varchar2(255);
begin	
/* Feteches the values of rootdir,servername from a table */
	 	Select rootDir
		into rootDir
		from tblConnectingString;
			Select ServerName
		into ServerName
		from tblConnectingString;
		select Report_Server
		into repServerName
		from tblConnectingString;

		 pl_id := get_parameter_list('pres1');

	SELECT PRESGEN.NEXTVAL INTO GEN_NUMBER FROM DUAL;	 	
	vcFile := REP_NAME||GEN_NUMBER||'.pdf';
	:GLOBAL.FILE_NAME := vcFile;
	report_id:= FIND_REPORT_OBJECT(REP_NAME);
	SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
	SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,FILE);
	SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'pdf');
	SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESNAME,rootDir||vcFile);
	SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,repServerName);
	--Reports_Server_TNS
	:GLOBAL.ReportHandle := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id,'pres1');
	:GLOBAL.PrintOutPut := vcFile;
	hTimer := CREATE_TIMER(:GLOBAL.FILE_NAME||'PRINTER_QUEUE','75000',REPEAT);
	
	web.show_document('http://'||ServerName||'/'||:GLOBAL.FILE_NAME,'_blank');

What version of Forms and Reports are you running? What is the OS on your PC?

I assume that you have verified that your user has 'select' access to the table in question.

I have no idea why you need to access 'tblConnectingString' table. (1) What is in this table that you need?

(2) Do you have 'REPORTS_PATH' defined in your register? (3) Do you have the directory containing 'report5' at the 'beginning' of that register string?

(4) Have you got your OC4J running? Please look at using 'web.show_document' instead of run_report_object.

Please answer each question. For more information on (2), (3), and (4) please search this forum for the keywords detailed in quotes.

hi,

You have to make a table named TBLCONNECTINGSTRING
CREATE TABLE TBLCONNECTINGSTRING (
CONNSTRING VARCHAR2(255) NOT NULL,
SERVERNAME VARCHAR2(255),
SERVERIP VARCHAR2(20),
ROOTDIR VARCHAR2(255),
REPORT_PATH VARCHAR2(255),
REPORT_SERVER VARCHAR2(255),
PHOTO_PATH VARCHAR2(240),
LOGO_PATH VARCHAR2(230));

ALTER TABLE TBLCONNECTINGSTRING ADD (
CONSTRAINT TBLCONNECTINGSTRING_PK PRIMARY KEY (CONNSTRING));

I m giving an example for the data

CONNSTRING SERVERNAME SERVERIP ROOTDIR
DAIRY/DAIRY@DAIRY erpserver
REPORT_PATH REPORT_SERVER PHOTO_PATH LOGO_PATH
rep_erpserver
I think this would solve ur problem.

Hi david & sanka/yanka,

thanks for immediate replies.

i am writing here just what i tried till now.i think this info is enough.

following code i have written in when button pressed trigger
declare
report_id REPORT_OBJECT;
V_REP VARCHAR2(100);
pl_id ParamList; 

begin
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata'); 

Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'CSS', TEXT_PARAMETER, :Q_CUSTOMER_ID);
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'SITEID', TEXT_PARAMETER, :Q_SITE_ID);
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'MAXIMIZE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'YES');

report_id := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('TASKS_NOTINVOICED_RATE');  

--  here TASKS_NOTINVOICED_RATE  is the report object defined in 
-- report node of object navigator.
-- in report object i tried both RDF & REP. which one is correct? 

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,RUNTIME);
-- here i tried both batch & runtime

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,SCREEN); 
-- here i tried both screen & file

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=NO');

v_rep := run_report_object(report_id,pl_id);
end;


same parameters i defined in the report object also.

without parameters also i tried by setting initial values in report.

individual report is running fine.

oc4j is running on my system.

i am using forms9i,reports9i on windows2000.

forms_path & reports path is fine in registry.

i kept my RDF & REP in forms path.
forms90_path : here i mentioned both forms path & reports path.

error : ****************************

now i am getting the error as
rep-0503 : u did not specify the name of a report.

some times its giving unable to run the report,
if i change any of above parameters.

i didn't give any report server name in report object.

is it necessary to give this one?????????? or registry path is enough for this????? remember individual report is running on my system.

any other things i need to set for this.

sanka can u pls tell me what is the use of "tblconnectingstring" table in this.

thanks in advance

supriya

You are missing:
	SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'pdf');
	SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,repServerName);

Add them and see how you go. Please review the WORKING example given further up this thread.

Supriya,

Please don't use abbreviations! What does 'o/p' mean?

You are using 'repserver90' as your server name. Does this named report server only run on YOUR PC. There is a MAJOR issue with report server names in a 9i/10g environment. Unless you have your development DS, test AS, and production AS on seperate sub-nets then you MUST run a differently named report server on each machine otherwise they will POOL together and you may end up with a production job running on your PC using your test code and your job running the production version of the report code on the production machine.

Do a "http://<machine_sid>:7778/reports/rwservlet?help" this should show you the name of your report_server. The name WAS part of your install procedure and is based on your machine id which SHOULD be unique.

Please answer questions 2 & 3 of my post of 4 October 2005. Reports MUST have the REPORTS_PATH defined.

Are there any other machines in your installation running 'repserver90' as their server name?

When I said 'do a "http://<machine_sid>:7778/reports/rwservlet?help"' what is want you to do is with the OC4J running I want you to start a browser session and put the string "http://<machine_sid>:7778/reports/rwservlet?help" into it and press 'enter'. Does it give you anything? If not, remove the 'help' and try it again. Please tell me what it gives you.

Please respond with your FORMS90_PATH and REPORTS_PATH. The directory containing 'report5' must be at the beginning of the REPORTS_PATH entry.

From my previous post:

Sorry. I had a senior moment in that server port number. Please try "http://<machine_sid>:8888/reports/rwservlet?help". By the way, what is your machine_sid so that I can include it in any later responses?

Hi David,
i tried this link
http://172.12.40.9:8888/reports/rwservlet?help
its giving me
REP-52005: The specified key help does not exist in key map
file.

but with this one
http://172.12.40.9:8888/reports/rwservlet
its displaying
Oracle9iAS Reports Services - Servlet Command Help
one page is opened.not giving any error.

my forms90_path & reports_path is the same, i have taken care proper report path in reports_path.

i am sure that these paths r correct because i am getting report in PDF format.

while running with web.show_document is it necessary to give run_report_object.

i tried both.

They should NOT be the same. They were different when Forms and Reports were installed, all you need do it UPDATE them by adding your directory to the BEGINNING of the path list. Tehre are specific reports and forms bits and pieces that live in DIFFERENT directories and they need to be in the paths. Be careful, forms path can be 512 characters long, but the reports path can only be 256 characters long. Also NONE of the directories can have a 'space / blank' in their name, nor can they be empty (have no members in any of them).

You DON'T need to have a run_report_object when you use web.show_document.

I recommend that you do NOT use REP files (these are the compiled ones right Smile - I mucked up a previous response by getting the file types around the wrong way). I had a similar problem and I don't think we ever solved it. We just deleted them all and just used the RDF file. We didn't perceive a difference in performance. But we probably didn't look too hard either.

Hi David,

Thanks for immediate replies.

I am calling reports from forms(please just go through the above discussion).it's working fine using "HTML" format
i am attaching " REP " to my form. its working in my system.
but its giving error in client side.

FRM-41213 : unable to connect to report server server_name

NOTE :They are able to run their own reports.

we have one table in that they insert url & report server name .
by using function i am fetching those values & placing those into web.show_document statement. here is the my code.

i can't attach RDF to form.we send only REP's to the client.

DECLARE
v_rep varchar2(100);
report_id REPORT_OBJECT;
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
url varchar2(100);

end;
values :

I suggest that you 'lose' the 'run_report_object' and the "WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')" loop. Just use the web.show_document without the loop.

Please put a message/pause pair before your 'web' statement and display the url that you are passing to your report server.

Please post it in your reply.

u mean to say put like this

-- adding parameters

report_id := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('TASKS_UNRATED');

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);

SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,rep_server);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=NO');

v_rep := run_report_object(report_id,pl_id);

---- I think the above statement is must.


WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(url||'/getjobid'||
substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)
||'?'||'server='||rep_server,'_blank');


but when i am getting report output in my system why its giving problem in client system.is there any other reasons for this.
so,that i can clarify with client.


and please remember i am attaching .rep to form not rdf.

i am not using any connection string in this statement.
can u send me where i have to add this in web.show_document statement.

what type of problems i get if i attach rep.

waiting for ur immediate reply

thanks

I suggest that you 'lose' the 'run_report_object' and the "WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')" loop. Just use the web.show_document without the loop.

Please put a message/pause pair before your 'web' statement and display the url that you are passing to your report server.

Please post it in your reply.

David

When you installed Oracle Reports a number of directories would have been placed in the REPORTS_PATH. What you need to do is place your working directory at the BEGINNING of the list of directories. Make sure that your directory is neither empty nor contains spaces in its name. Also the total length of ALL directory names MUST be less than 255 characters.

Probably not. I prefer to pass the parameters as part of the call, that way, I can pass hidden things which I don't want the users to see. Also, I can do all of the validation of the parameters in the form BEFORE calling the report.

i think is a good idea migrate to web.show_doc because have a lot of problems with rp2rro.
The only problem is, i don't have a generic forms module which run like parameter form.
If possible call generic html page passing parameters from forms? as you can pass parameters, by post or by get?
