Hi Friends,

I am new to Oracle Report

Can any 1 help me to automate an oracle report into batch run

I have designed a report in reports 6i, getting one input from user (say one order_number generates one page report)

I need to make it as batch run with no of inputs(more than 1 order_number and o/p should be that much no. of seperate reports goes into printer by bulk ), so that there shud not any user intervention in future

Please give ur idea how to make it effective into production run

Thanx
Imran

User input can be substituted by another table - it would contain parameters someone needs to enter prior to executing the report. Also, you'd have to include this table into the report's query.

Scheduling will have to be done using your operating system scheduling utility; on MS Windows, it would be the "Scheduled Tasks" manager.

Hi ,

Now the report runs w/o user input,well. The concern abt my report now is that somebody will have to manually run this process. This should be eliminated. It should be something automated, wherein it will run on it's own.

Some batch job which will trigger automatically as per the pre defined schedule

Please give idea

Thanks
Imran

I already did; there's nothing else I could say about it.

yes
you can use built in functions
run_product(,,,,,);
and run_report_object();
and use form to ask user to input data in text items ,dynamo combo's or l.o.v's and then call the report using above two functions

I believe Imran_Chennai is talking about database stored procedures (which do not suport functions you mention), not Forms procedures.
