Publishing Reports to the Web - Downloads - Oracle

The Event-Driven Publishing API
Each request returns a job_ident record that holds the information required to identify
the job uniquely. This information is stored in variable of type SRW.JOB_IDENT. Be
aware that this is a PACKAGE-TYPE and must be referenced SRW.JOB_IDENT; while
the parameter list is an OBJECT-TYPE and must be referenced SRW_PARAMLIST.
For example:
DECLARE
myPlist SRW_PARAMLIST;
myIdent SRW.Job_Ident;
BEGIN
myPlist := SRW_PARAMLIST(SRW_PARAMETER('',''));
srw.add_parameter(myPlist,'GATEWAY','http://…');
srw.add_parameter(myPlist,'SERVER','mySVR');
srw.add_parameter(myPlist,'REPORT','myReport.RDF');
srw.add_parameter(myPlist,'USERID','me/secret');
myIdent := srw.run_report(myPlist);
END;
The API method RUN_REPORT takes a parameter list that contains all vital information
as input (via ADD_PARAMETER), creates and submits the request, and returns the job_
ident record.
The job_ident record contains the following parameters:
■ MyIdent.GatewayURL
■ MyIdent.ServerName
■ MyIdent.JobID
■ MyIdent.AuthID
These parameters are needed by the SRW.REPORT_STATUS function to get status
information for a submitted job.
17.1.4 How to Check for Status
The Event-Driven Publishing API provides a two-way communication with the
Reports Server. You submit a job to the server, and you can query the status of this job
from the server using the SRW.REPORT_STATUS function.
This function will return a record of type SRW.STATUS_RECORD that holds the same
information you would see in the job-status display if you were using the Reports
Servlet's SHOWJOBS command.
For example:
DECLARE
myPlist SRW_PARAMLIST;
myIdent SRW.Job_Ident;
myStatus SRW.Status_Record;
BEGIN
myPlist := SRW_PARAMLIST(SRW_PARAMETER('',''));
srw.add_parameter(myPlist,'GATEWAY','http://…');
srw.add_parameter(myPlist,'SERVER','mySVR');
srw.add_parameter(myPlist,'REPORT','MyReport.RDF');
srw.add_parameter(myPlist,'USERID','me/secret');
myIdent := srw.run_report(myPlist);
myStatus := srw.report_status(myIdent);
END;
