Hi,

We had migrated a legacy application from Forms 4.5, Reports 2.5 to Forms and reports 6i. One major problem that we face is, when the reports are sent for printing in the new version, it prints out in random order. The reason for this is, because in 6i, there are multiple reports servers that are created for each report that is fired, making it a parallel process. So which ever report gets generated, irrespective of the order in which it was sent, gets fired to the printer. In 4.5 version there was a single reports server which used to process reports in the order in which they were sent. I think it is a property of the Oracle runtime and cannot be changed.

We want to have it printed in the order it is sent for printing just as it was in 4.5.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks

Jose

Then use a single report server.

Hi David,

Thanks for the reply.

The Reports are called from forms using the run_product built-in. There are four reports that will be sent at a time using the same in ASYNCHRONOUS mode.

Example:
RUN_PRODUCT ( REPORTS, 'rep1', ASYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, FILESYSTEM, 'REP_PARAM', NULL );
RUN_PRODUCT ( REPORTS, 'rep2', ASYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, FILESYSTEM, 'REP_PARAM', NULL );
RUN_PRODUCT ( REPORTS, 'rep3', ASYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, FILESYSTEM, 'REP_PARAM', NULL );
RUN_PRODUCT ( REPORTS, 'rep4', ASYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, FILESYSTEM, 'REP_PARAM', NULL );

The problem is that they are processed in parallel and is sent to the printer in any order they are finished- say rep1, rep3, rep4, rep2, while we want it to come out as rep1, rep2, rep3 and rep4.

There is no explicit call to the Reports Server as such since we use the run_product built in. Is there a way to limit the reports to run on a single reports server?

Appreciate your response.

Regards.

Jose.

Is it possible to put these four reports into a single report?

I'm going to move this thread to the Reports forum.

Hi,

It will not be possible to place them into a single report. The Code I had pasted below was just a sample. There are nine such reports which can be called in any order.

Thanks.

Jose

Hi Jose,

what i can take out from you question is that you are using

Quote:
RUN_PRODUCT ( REPORTS, 'rep1', ASYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, FILESYSTEM, 'REP_PARAM', NULL );
RUN_PRODUCT ( REPORTS, 'rep2', ASYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, FILESYSTEM, 'REP_PARAM', NULL );
RUN_PRODUCT ( REPORTS, 'rep3', ASYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, FILESYSTEM, 'REP_PARAM', NULL );
RUN_PRODUCT ( REPORTS, 'rep4', ASYNCHRONOUS, BATCH, FILESYSTEM, 'REP_PARAM', NULL );


But when it start printing it is not sequential is this the problem?

Bye
