All suggestions for better reporting solution will be much appreciated!

Hi there,
I have a requirement (Reports 6i C/S) to print out a number of word documents (stored as BLOBS in a table) and the associated notes data. Here is the table structure
SQL> desc cip_cases
Name                            Null?    Type
CIP_CASE_ID                   NOT NULL NUMBER
CIP_CASE_REASON_ID              NOT NULL NUMBER(7)
CIP_ID                          NOT NULL NUMBER
DATE_ENTERED                    NOT NULL DATE
ENTERED_BY                      NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
NOTES                                    VARCHAR2(2000)
CASE_DOCUMENT                            BLOB
QUEUED_FOR_DELETION                      VARCHAR2(1)
QUEUED_FOR_DELETION_BY                   VARCHAR2(30)
SQL>Now I can produce a simple report to preview / print the DATE_ENTERED, ENTERED_BY, and NOTES fields and I have developed code to print the BLOB documents in the background using OLE but once the Word docs are printed out there is no way to link them up to the corresponding notes.
Therefore the next most obvious solution (to me anyway) is to print out a single notes record followed by the corresponding word doc, followed by the next notes record and so on and so forth. Then at least they should come out on the printer in the correct order.
It doesn't sound particularly elegant so I was wondering if anyone had a better idea?

I guess no-one has any suggestions then?

    Hello Kirk,
    Thank's for your efforts, and I just wish that this was the solution.  Unfortunately, it isn't because, after double-clicking on the pdf in the website, it simply "opens" in another Safari window as a black screen - the pdf is there, somewhere, but not visible (either as an icon, or as a document). 
    When I right-click in the black Safari window, where the file is supposed to be, the only option available to display the file is to "Open file in Internet Explorer" (which is not what I want to do).  Other options include saving or printing the pdf, which I don't want until I've confirmed that it's the form that I want.  The same options are offered if I right-click on the file icon in the website.
    Any other suggestions, please?

  • Manual bypass to view all history entries of all user for one report

    Test have been performed on standealone BIP 10.1.3.4.1 (Patch 11931697). May be it can be reproduced with previous versions and/or other J2EE container.
    Problem is now described in Oracle Support with bug ID : 12412334
    Bypass solution may be helpful for people who use work directly in BIP web interface or who integrate this web interface using HTTP URLs or HTTP/REST like custom app (and may be other cases...)
    When logged with an admin username, you can view OR filter "ALL" history of one all users for one report by typing an url like :
    http://BIP/xmlpserver/servlet/reporthistory?report_url=/REPORT_DIR_PATH/XDO_NAME/XDO_NAME.xdo&tfilter=all
    Where :
    BIP is BIP Server DNS
    REPORT_DIR_PATH is report directory path in BIP web interface
    XDO_NAME is report's name

    I don't think there is a way. There should be, but I've never seen it.

    You need to delete some files.  Many posters to these forums state that you need much more free space: 5 gig to 10 gig or 10 percent of you hd size.

    Be careful when deleting files. A lot of people have trashed their system when deleting things. Place things in trash. Reboot & run your applications. Empty trash.
    Go after large files that you have created & know what they are.  Do not delete small files that are in a folder you do not know what the folder is for. Anything that is less than a megabyte is a small file these days.

  • Any suggestions for better wifi signal?

    Hi everyone,
    So I live in a bit of an older home, and since the walls are pretty thick and everything is compartmentalized, my wifi signal doesn't reach everywhere with the best signal.  Below are the details of my set-up along with additional potentially-relevant information to provide context:
    I have FiOS internet with basic cable (just downgraded from FiOS premium cable to save $$$)
    The FiOS console is in basement
    I have coax cables from the basement console going to: (internet) one router (the MI424WR Verizon FiOS Router) in office, and (cable TV) three TVs - one in the basement, one on 1st floor and one on 2nd floor.
    My internet is only 2-3 bars in the location of the TV on the 1st floor.  This is probably where we spend the most time using our devices when I'm not working, and would need the greatest signal boost.
    Since I've downgraded to basic cable, I'd like to be able to stream on-line content in the location of the 1st floor TV without too much lag.
    It would be very difficult to string an ethernet cable from my current router in the office to another router in the 1st floor TV room.
    In the past I've tried relatively cheap [$30] wifi extenders with no help.
    I've read a bit about installing a second wireless router, but not sure if I can do it by just splitting the coax going to my 1st floor TV into another wireless router without an ethernet cable from the office-router.  (I'm okay with technology, but am somewhat behind in my understanding of wireless networks).
    I'd like to spend less than $100 (assuming I'd need to buy another router - any recommendations?) to do it, if possible.
    All suggestions (including non-second router recommendations) are greatly appreciated!!!  Also, details on how to hook up the configuration would be especially welcomed.  Thanks again and have a happy holiday!

    Hi jsk2,
    Thanks for the suggestion.  No, I haven't tried to move the router to the 2nd floor.  Is that supposed to improve the signal house-wide?  The 2nd floor coax is on the opposite end of the house of the 1st floor coax.
    Also, might  be a really stupid question, but can the coax cables be used interchangably?  (ie: the coax for my TV can be used for the router, and the coax for my router can be used for a TV)?
    Thanks!
    You don't mention what your tier is but I assume it's under 100mb?
    any of the coax connectors can be used for tv AND router by adding a splitter - up to a max of 8 I believe.
    Go onto ebay and get a couple of old fios routers and add one on each floor
    Of course using ethernet would be a far better coice but I guess that's not an option

  • Feedback on Captivate as alternative to Authorware, or suggestions for better alternative?

    Hi -
    I've been using Authorware for a number of years to create questionnaires for research studies...and I'm glad it still works on Windows 7 and we're going to test our applications on a Windows-based tablet soon.
    But I know I will need to find a new solution for a development tool as technology moves forward.
    I've seen suggestions to head towards Captivate.  We purchased a copy and I've been testing it.
    I'm learning that Captivate does not support arrays, and will only support a limited number of user-defined variables (although I haven't received a clear answer as to the exact number....but the estimates I was given were really small).  In Authorware, we've created systems that use 3000+ variables using arrays and have had no problems.
    From the Captivate forum, I'm learning that it appears that there is not a simple way to export data to a text file on the computer (like Authorware's WriteExtFile and AppendExtFile).  I'm told I need to have an internet connection, and set up a LMS (learning management system).
    Our projects are research studies, so we're not grading or scoring...we just need to capture the answers that people provide and write that data to a text file.
    Two different people suggested that SurveyMonkey would be the better option.
    We would prefer a solution that allows for the creation of a standalone executable file with a nice graphical user interface, audio, easy data handling, and not be required to have an internet connection, etc.
    As Authorware users, would any of you have a suggestion for an Adobe (or other) product?  Or should I just learn Captivate and grow with it and hope some better features are added in the future?
    Thanks!
    Scott

    Yeah, it'll be a while, I think, before CP is anywhere close to the capabilties of Authorware. If you want the 'ease' of Captivate, you likely have to rethink how your product will work. Overall, filesystem access is going to be a challenge - very little software seems to allow that these days, and understandably so considering security issues.
    Lectora may be the best more for you, all that said. I'm not positive they allow filesystem access (write text files) but I think so. It's also not Flash-based, so if you do want to move to mobile delivery without Flash plugin support issues, well, there ya go.
    On the other hand, I believe Adobe's AIR product (method of bundling a Flash application for local playback) may now allow filesystem access, so if you can pick up Flash or Flex, publishing to an AIR application may be an option.
    OR you could try to get a Flash Widget made that you insert into CP to handle the text file writing, though that doesn't get you around the custom variable limit...
    ...BUT do note that CP can call JS functions in the parent HTML window, so you might be able to do what you want, as far as variables go, by creating the functions, values, etc. in JS then have CP call those functions...?
    All that said, Xerte may be a good option for you. It's got quite an underground (i.e. quiet) following:
    http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/
    It's designed to be an Authorware replacement in design and form, though I've not touched it in years so have no idea how far it's progressed (the support listserve is pretty active though).
    And it's free...!

  • Suggestions For A Reporting System

    Hi,
    I'm currently working a nefty Swing application and was looking for ideas as to how to develop a robust, extensible reporting system. I would appreciate any all suggestions to make the whole system work as efficiently as possible, with little difficulties when it comes to adding new reports and all.
    Basically is here the structure I'm currently using:
    1. I have an abstract class called ReportNode which has the following basic structure:
    public abstract class ReportNode  {
         * Returns a List of Person objects which will be used to create the Report. This is the only
         * required method needs to be implemented by the report node subclasses. All other methods can be
         * overridden as required.
         * @return the List of Person objects to use for the report
        public abstract List<MemberData> getNodeData();
         * Returns a TableModel with the data to be displayed
         * @return a TableModel with the data to be displayed
        public TableModel getNodeDataModel() {
            return new DefaultTableModel();
        // with several other methods which can be overriden and as necessary
    }2. Each report is currently hard coded by extending the ReportNode object and overriding either one of the two methods stated to retrieve the required information which can then be displayed in a JTable, using a predefined TableModel (for the first method) or a the custom TableModel returned from the second.
    Now I want to move the code out the hard coded format since the reports are growing and I would like suggestions or pointers on some best practices that can help me get the results I need. That is, suggestions as to
    - what type of database structure can be set up that can make generating custom reports possible
    - or perhaps I should go with Stored Procedures instead and come with some table design that can be used to pick the required variables for the procedures
    - should I stick with the JTable reporting (works quite well for data presentation, but can be tricky when it comes to printing at times)
    - or I should switch completely to some of the standard reporting systems like Jasper Reports (I tried it but found it a bit cumbersome for a beginner)
    Any suggestions (however small) would be greatly appreciated.

  • Suggestion for a trick i will do to overcome my problem with PO history

    Dear MM consultant,
    i will explain my problem first then i will tell u my trick to overcome this problem and plz give me ur suggestion about this trick it will success or not.
    first we have a PO with about 2100 items + 7 conditions for 5 vendors after we make goods reciept and make our first invoice for the first vendor the PO history for delivery cost table EKBZ will contain about 22000 records...
    the problem here my user first creat a park invoice then when he need to post this parked, MIRO take long time reach to 15 minutes and some time it through time out exception to open this parked invoice, after depuging i found it loop on the 2100 items and inside this loop it loop on the 22000 records of PO history table with small calculation it do 46200000 loop !!!!!!
    Function "ME_READ_COND_INVOICE"
    SELECT * FROM ekbz INTO TABLE l_bzt WHERE ebeln EQ i_ebeln.
        LOOP AT l_bzt ASSIGNING <ls_bzt>.
          PERFORM bzt_selektion USING <ls_bzt>.
        ENDLOOP.         
    i send this error to SAP and they said the only soultion for the PO history is to use PO aggregation in SAP Note 311089
    iin some reason i didn't success to do this PO aggregation i think its need other note or something else and olse if i do PO aggregation and i need to cancel any goods reciept i can't do this until i make PO disaggregation and it is other story....
    my solution here before post the parked invoice i run a custom program that update the EKBZ table to set PO#(ebeln) = PO#+'t' where DOC#(BELNR) <> parked inv, the result from this the above select statement will only return the records of this parked invoice not all the history and then after we post, i will run the program again and change all PO# to their right number
    what do u thing about this solution ??????

  • Universe Design Suggestion for a Report

    Hi Guys,
    I am building a trend report from a fact table that was newly built in SQL server 2012.
    Prior to this table there was a manual process of data importing into SQL Server and then bringing into BO universe for reports.
    With the new change the fact table has data from both the old and new process.
    Basically the column looks like -
    Defect Type 2
    1 - new process
    2 - new process
    3 - new process
    4 - new process
    Missing - old process
    lost - old process
    Found - old process
    the developer has added id's instead of the description in  the new process.
    When I bring this in universe I join the id's to the look up table so that I can get the description.
    My question to you is regarding the data that already has description from old process - How can I bring all together in one report or if you can can suggest me a way to do this trend report.
    Also, there is a cut off date when the old process has moved to new code.  OR Should I bring this in 2 different tables.
    Any suggestions will be really helpful.
    Thanks,
    Jitan

    I was thinking of putting a filter on the fact table and do the join with all dimensions. This will give me data going forward with the automated process.
    For the manual process data that is sitting in the same table I will create a derived query to give me data for the old process and will bring it as another class.
    I am just thinking by doing this if I can combine both the dataset into one at report level.
    Let me know if i am going the right direction.
    Thanks,
    Jitan.

  • Suggestion for better Multi Tasking

    The Multitasking isn't what it should be.
    It is quite a hassle to quit every app separately. And it seems to drain the battery life quickly.
    So I have a few suggestions:
    In the settings, add the possibility of giving the amount of apps that can be opened for multi tasking. So if you set this to e.g. 4, only the last 4 apps will stay open.
    In the settings add the possibility of defining which apps can run for multi tasking and which apps should close immediately, so they will not be used as multi tasking.
    Add the possibility of closing all open apps in one action e.g. by adding a button for this in the multi tasking bar.
    If someone has other suggestions, please add them to this discussion item

    Just because an app is available in the multi-task bar does not mean the app is running in the background. This is also a recently used app list to quickly select an app that may not be launched.

  • Suggestions for developing report

    Dear All
    I need to develop a report for tax accounts (BS account) by WBS/Cost centre.
    As you all know the the BS does not get stamped with cost object, so its kind of tricky to get the cost object for balance sheet account.
    Posting example
    Account A (P&L) 100 WBS X tax code VP PC ABC
    Account B(tax account, BS) 10  TAX CODE VP PC ABC
    SO the report needs to derive the cost object from offsetting line. from example the report should show
    Account B(tax account, BS) 10  TAX CODE VP PC ABC and also WBS X
    Please let me know if anyone has developed anything similar.
    Thanks
    Sanjeev

    I'm not sure about the report transaction code which is executed WBS element details for Account A
    If you have idea execute this report for Account A, inside of the report select offsetting account details.

  • Need suggestions for photo printer that will work with a dedicated HP G4050 scanner on Windows 7

    I was told by HP Tech Support that they didn't recommend I try to run an all-in-one printer and a dedicated scanner on the same PC.  Dilemma is that most photo printers sold today are also all-in-ones.   Also, many all-in-ones don't seem to rate very high on photo quality.   Do I end up buying two printers - one for text and another for photos or what?  
    Your input is welcome as I've researched this problem for a long time and don't know what printer to buy!  Thank you. 

    Yes, I do know that; but the basic driver doesn't allow all of the menu options on the printer to work.  For instance, it won't tell me how much ink is left in each cartridge, etc.
    I'm debating whether to just keep my old Photosmart 8150 and keep plugging along until it dies and then worry about replacing it OR keep looking for a new one.
    Problem is that HP Tech Support told me that they DON'T recommend I use an all-in-one printer AND a dedicated scanner together due to possible software issues.  Since most of the photo printers made this year seem to be AIO's it's been a very difficult experience finding an older printer that has a Full Solution Driver in WIN 7 and/or 8!  Oh, you can find some but they cost an arm and a leg even at used prices!  
    Anyone with experience using an HP dedicated scanner AND a printer is welcome to jump in and give me some feedback. Thank you so much!  : )
