Reports & Discoverer :: How To Call Oracle Reports Inside A Stored Procedure
Oct 14, 2010
Currently some jobs created in WBT scripting need to converted into oracle,plsql.There is one job in WBT scripting, which will invoke the oracle reports inside and generate the PDF files in the destination path as follows:
a = runhide("c:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe", "http://pscm9722:7778/reports/rwservlet?USERID=%LOGONINFO%+server=rep_pscm9722+destype=file+desname=D:ORACLE10G\%CCALLRptName%+desformat=PDF+PARAMFORM=no+report=PCCALL.RDF")
a = runhide("c:Program FilesInternet Exploreriexplore.exe", "http://pscm9722:7778/reports/rwservlet?
[code]...
Now, i want to convert this into oracle,plsql? Is it possible or not?
For a requirement, i need to call an Oracle Report from a PL/SQL Package or Procedure. Explain on how this can done. Mine is an Oracle Reports 6i version.
Can I use CASE statement Inside a Oracle Report Query. I'm using Oracle Reports Builder 10g.
My Report Query looks like this,
select invh_code, invh_number, invh_date, invh_cm_code, im_description from invoice_head, invoice_det, unit_of_measurement, item_master where invd_invh_code = invh_code and im_code = invd_item_code AND (case :p_flag when 1 then (substr(invd_item_number,0,(length(invd_item_number)-4)) BETWEEN :P_V_ITM_FRM AND :P_V_ITM_TO) else 1 end) order by invh_number
:p_flag is a parameter that i pass from oracle form and based on that value (:p_flag=1) i need to include this specific condition else omit that condition.
But the CASE statement is throwing Error
ORA-00907 :Missing Right Paranthesis (case :p_flag when 1 then (substr(invd_item_number,0,(length(invd_item_number)-4)) ==> BETWEEN :P_V_ITM_FRM AND :P_V_ITM_TO)
Is it possible to automate the execution of some reports build with Oracle report builder? Like I want to run such and such report to run daily at 2:00pm or at the end of every month/year.
My user would like to have a way to attach files to database records. For simplicity, we'll say that each employee in the database could have 0-many file attachments associated with them. I know how to make this part work using Oracle Forms.
So that's the easy part for me. The tough part is that they want to be able to run an Oracle Report on our application server (displays as a PDF, also downloadable as a PDF) and have links on this report to the attachments that they uploaded using the forms process above.
For the idea of storing the files on a folder somewhere, I simply created a text object on the report that had it's hyperlink property pointing to the file location. Done.. opens fine.
However, I want to be able to have the option of storing these files in the database instead, just in case we can't go with the shared folder idea. I'm not sure how to make this work. I can store a blob in the database.. but how do I link to that blob on the report for them to be able to download it? Is this even possible?
how to create a download link on the Oracle Report that let's them download a file out of the database.
I have a doubt; can we format a particular word in oracle reports at runtime..?
Ex:-
A text filed contains data Quote:We request #BANK# to finance the same Bill as per agreed interest rate and other terms and conditions agreed on the above addendum and immediately remit the proceeds to our account A/c no. #ACCOUNTNO#, held with your Bank.
We need to make #BANK#, #ACCOUNTNO# are bold at runtime, Is there any method to format characters at runtime..?
I migrated a Oracle 6i Report to Oracle Report 9i so I'm trying to execute a this report in the Run Web Layout, but this doesn't bring me any information, how can i run this reports in the Web layout?
When i run this report en the Paper Layout it's bring me data. When a run the report just bring me a blank web page.
I am creating a report which generates the data to a PDF/CSV based on users Input.When I create the report using Report Builder and execute the report,Delimited data appears in a PDF layout.
But if I add the below code in After Parameter Form trigger,the column headers keeps repeating with the data.
function AfterPForm return boolean is begin IF :P_DESTYPE = 'CSV' THEN :MODE :='DEFAULT'; :DESFORMAT:='DELIMITED'; Elsif :P_DESTYPE = 'PDF' THEN :DESTYPE := 'CACHE'; :DESFORMAT:='PDF'; END IF; return (TRUE); end; [code]....
But the PDF output seems fine where the header is shown only once.I could see many posts regarding this in Oracle reports 6i wherein delimited_hdr=no is used in Command Line but I would like to know the work around in Oracle reports 10g.
Any way to automate a job to execute several Oracle Reports to run at the end of every month and either email them to a list of people or possibly save them to a location on a network drive.
At first, I started out with 2 avenues of thought:
1) The following link raised the option of an Oracle Scheduler, but from my research, the scheduler only runs database jobs, shell scripts, batch files, etc.:
[URL]......
2) I was thinking about possibly creating a database job of some sort to call the reports, but from the following link, I've determined that one cannot create+call a stored/database procedure to run Oracle Report files. So there goes my second hope.
[URL].......
So, it appears that the scheduler won't meet my requirements and now I think I'm almost out of options.
My last resort is creating a database job that queries required information and spooling the data + various formatting "stuff" into a txt file. Then, that txt file would be my report. This seems a little savage and I would like to think that there's a ay to automatically run an .REP against a database and save an electronic copy of the report somewhere.
Is it possible to automate the execution of Oracle Reports and then saving the report in a particular format (xls/pdf/rtf/etc.)?
In my requirement i have to move a field from bottom to the first page of report. I try to drag the field but i think it's in multiple frame .i am very new to oracle how can i work with multiple frame in layout wizard.
I am unable to properly align two objects in the layout editor in Oracle Reports. The form report I am trying to design must be perfect and I need to highlight a particular report object (data item) by adding a narrow box (boilerplate) next to it on the left hand side, which is filled with a contrasting colour and contains an asterisk.
The problem is this: I cannot seem to align them properly (horizontal stack, align top). Even if I use the 'size objects' option to make them exactly the same vertical size, the align option stated above does the horizontal stack, but vertically they are not aligned - nor can I manoeuvrings the boilerplate box into place manually.
The environment of my company consist of an ERP system developed using Oracle Forms 4.5 and Reports 2.5. Now, due to increase in business activities, there is a lot of requests from users for reports in Excel sheet.
Our company is planning for Oracle ERP Rel 12....and it is under process of analysis..due to which there is no chance of upgrade to latest Developer Suite.
As of now, to fulfill user requirements of Excel based reports...what do you think is best and permanent solution? Is there any plug-in or Business Process or Business Intelligence application llike ORACLE BI Spreadsheet plug-in..which meets our demand.
As of now provide users with options to run the report and generate output in HTML format, from there, they copy it to Excel..but this process is not at all user friendly and feasible.
I have a report I am currently working on...see attached file. I have circled two symbols. I know the one on the left is "page break after" but I am not sure why this field would have this setting.
Tell me what the symbol on the right means? Also, I have confine and flex set to "off" on all fields and items, yet when I move one of the fields other fields start to move as well. I am supposed to swap the bill to and ship to address which should be simple but so far it's not.
I have .rdf files from mid 1990's ( I'm not sure what is the version, perhaps 2.5 ) and now I would like to modify them by Oracle Reports Builder 6i or 9i. If I try to open those files by Oracle Reports Builder 6i I get the following error message:
REP-0110: Unable to open file 'C:file.rdf' REP-1070: Error while opening or saving a document
So I made a conclusion that those .rdf files are too old for 6i. Do I need to convert, and especially how, those files? .rdf files where copied from Unix machine to Win XP machine where Oracle Report Builder is installed.
I have a table (medicine_frequency) which has the following items: ----------------- AGE DRUG_DESCRIPTION FREQ MORNING NOON EVENING BEFORE_BEDTIME OTHER ----------------- I have to prepare a report in such a way that in a field it has to display the values of morning/noon/evening(once if all three are there) like 'Take 1 tablet'
I am trying to call procedure inside trigger.. but i get error ora-04098 ..
create table emp_hstry as select * from emp where 1= 2 ;
create or replace procedure emp_del_hstry(v_empno NUMBER , v_ename VARCHAR2, v_job VARCHAR2) is insert into emp_hstry (empno,ename,job) values (v_empno,v_ename,v_job); COMMIT; end;
create or replace trigger emp_del_hstry1 after insert or delete on emp for each row begin if deleting then emp_del_hstry(:old.empno,:old.ename,:old.job); end if; end;
delete from emp where empno = '7369'
AFTER delete statement run i get ora-04098 message i also check show error command ,but still i am not getting solution of this error ..
.I created the following procedure to implement Event Driven Reporting:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure ABC.eve_drv_rep as myPlist system.SRW_PARAMLIST; myIdent system.SRW.Job_Ident; BEGIN myPlist := system.SRW_PARAMLIST(system.SRW_PARAMETER('','')); system.srw.add_parameter(myPlist,'GATEWAY','apsIP/reports/rwservlet');
[code]...
Procedure is created successfully but when I execute this procedure, I get the following error:
ORA-20001'Error sending email.Error: ORA-20999 ORA-06512: at "Nml.Eve_Drv_Rep", line 17 ORA-06512: at line 1
2ndly I want to know that whether I should give IP address or Application Server Machine Name in GATEWAY parameter? And in SERVER parameter either I should give the Application Server Machine Name or Report Server name installed on Application Server Machine?Lastly from where I can get the complete list of Parameters to be added in SRW.Add_Parameter like SERVER, GATEWAY etc.
note that we r using Database 10g Rel.2 and Forms and Reports services on Application Server and the report being called was developed in Reports 10g.
Requirement is to build procedure where it has 10-12 input variables but some of them (input variables) may at times be NULL.Based on this, i thought of getting into EXECUTE IMMEDIATE but this would just return rows i mean DML stmt for EXECUTE IMMEDIATE.Also, on the requirment is all parameters are present then result set be based on range on start and end date.
how can i declare an array inside a stored procedure in Oracle. Right now, I have the following declaration.
procedure MarkLoanMappings( p_AL_LA_ID in ACTIVE_LOAN.AL_LA_ID%TYPE, p_AL_ASG_ID in ACTIVE_LOAN.AL_ASG_ID%TYPE, p_AL_CFH_ID in ACTIVE_LOAN.AL_CFH_ID%TYPE, p_Period in ACTIVE_LOAN.AL_PRCS_PERIOD%TYPE)
[code]....
When I try to compile it, I get the error "component EXISTS must be declared".
We have a reports proces which we want to produce a report where the browser windows doest not display, or if it does, quickly closes after the report is completed.We are using Forms Version 10.1.2.0.2, Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0, OS is Windows XP Pro SP3
We have tried the below, but the primary application window closes, not the report server window. - http - removed due to form message:You cannot use links until you have posted more than 5 messages.
We have modified the forms trigger to produce the report as shown below, but get the error: FRM-41213: Unable to connect to the Report Server
Current theory is the connection to the database is lacking the user id and password since the cmdkey is not specified. How can we specify the cmdkey when using the run_report_object?
