Using Parameter Lists in RUN_REPORT_OBJECT

Parameter lists that were used with RUN_PRODUCT in client/server mode can also be used with RUN_REPORT_OBJECT calling reports.

System parameters must be set by the Set_Report_Object_Property. The syntax for using parameter lists in RUN_REPORT_OBJECT is as follows:

report_job_id:=run_report_object(report_id,paramlist_id);

where paramlist_id is the same id used with RUN_PRODUCT.

Parameter settings can be any of the following:

  • REPORT_COMM_MODE: Batch, Runtime

  • REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE: Synchronous, Asynchronous

  • REPORT_DESTYPE: FILE, PRINTER, MAIL, CACHE, PREVIEW, FTP, FAX, WEBDAV, ORACLEPORTAL, ORACLEWIRELESS, SECUREPDF

  • REPORT_FILENAME: The report filename (not used with CACHE)

  • REPORT_DESNAME: The report destination name (not used with Cache)

  • REPORT_DESFORMAT: The report destination format

  • REPORT_SERVER: The report server name

Other settings are as follows:

  • Reports CGI name is "rwcgi.sh" (UNIX) and "rwcgi.exe" (Windows)

  • Reports Servlet default name is "rwservlet"

  • Reports Servlet virtual path is /reports/
