APEX BIP report query output format - not able to set with a variable

I have a Named Columns (RTF) report that is working great, but I can't control the output format with a variable. I can set the "Output Format" in the Report Query Attributes, but it doesn't work when I set the report output format to "Derive from item". No matter what the item contains, I always get PDF output. I can see the variable in my session, but it doesn't control the output format. I have tried using the values "xml", "XML", "rtf", and "RTF".
Any help would be appreciated...

My guess is that an exception is being thrown for some rows. Since you've stubbed out your catch phrase to do nothing you're not going to have any visibility into what exception was thrown. You need to put some kind of logging in the catch phrase to see
what is happening.

Enhancement Req (v4.0): Report Query- Output Format- Derive from Item

Brief Introduction
I have 1 major request I would like to make (and 2 lesser ones). The first, I would like to specify custom available output formats for 'Report Query' objects, as well as Reports Regions, Interactive Reports, etc. I believe that this could easily be an instance setting in the Report Server region of the internal workspace, or per workspace / application. Even if not supported on the system wide level, I would recommend that the "Derived from Item" output format "Return Value" be allowed to be returned unaltered to the Report Server. I know that the type is returned as "_xf", and for my purposes I would REALLY like to be able to get something other than the defaults.
Use Case
I am creating a custom JasperReports integration (for which I will be launching a public SaaS beta extremely soon). It uses the standard Apex reporting objects (Queries, Layouts, Print Buttons, etc). JasperReports templates are uploaded as Report Layouts and everything works fine. I am, however, wanting to implement as many output formats as are available to me in Jasper...that means Word 07, Excel 07, ODS, ODT, etc. For the items that take a print server override I can handle this in other ways (even though this appears broken [see below]), but for the standard report queries this isn't available. I would basically like the option to define the set of available output formats for the report server, and what the "_xf" returned for each one is.
Minor Requests
- Replace Uploaded Templates: If a template is used often and updated, then it has to be changed everywhere...minor irritation.
- Customize Report Server URL for the Workspace or Application: For SaaS instances, workspace developers may license or have access to reporting solutions that are not (and should not be) available to all of the Oracle instance's workspaces, or may conflict with a service that is already provided by the instance administrators.
Broken
When I use the print server override, with the "Use Headers From" option, it appears that neither my content type, nor my content disposition headers are being sent back to the client. This is the work around solution for the non-standard types issue I am requesting enhancement on, so I would like to know what I can do to get this working immediately.
Additional Info
As it stands, if the site is available, feel free to sign up for the beta. The beta keys will be exported soon to the instance and made available. Instructions on setup will also follow:

Hi, please did you get any solution to this issue? I am having similar challenge right now.
select     EMP.DEPTNO as DEPTNO,
     DEPT.DNAME as DNAME,
     EMP.EMPNO as EMPNO,
     EMP.ENAME as ENAME,
     EMP.JOB as JOB,
     EMP.MGR as MGR,
     EMP.HIREDATE as HIREDATE,
     EMP.SAL as SAL
from     SCOTT.DEPT DEPT,
     SCOTT.EMP EMP
where EMP.DEPTNO=DEPT.DEPTNO
and      DEPT.DNAME =upper(:dname)
This run perfectly in sql developer, toad, and even inside publisher if I login directly to publisher to create report.
Generating this same query in shared component query builder and testing it returns no data found. If I remove the last line, it works. but with the last line, it return no data found. It seems no one has been able to provide solution to this issue

ApEx BIP report using webservice: could not convert null to bean field

Seems like a pretty straightforward problem but I don't manage to find a solution.
I have a BI Suite implementation on one server.
And a database with ApEx on another server.
I want to call a BIP report from within my ApEx application using the webservices (runReport) available in BIP 11g.
I used soapUI to test my webservice. Result : OK
When called from within ApEx, ApEx gives me a succes message but the report isn't generated. Instead the console on the BIP server shows the following error:
<Sep 12, 2012 10:28:37 PM BST> <Error> <org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanPropert
yTarget> <BEA-000000> <Could not convert null to bean field 'sizeOfDataChunkDown
load', type int>
'sizeOfDataChunkDownload' is a field of the webservice that is left empty.
That indeed is the only difference between my soapUI test and the ApEx situation.
In soapUI I removed all empty fields. In ApEx this does not seem possible...
Some extra information:
- the webservice is created on this WSDL : /xmlpserver/services/v2/ReportService?wsdl
- it's defined as a SOAP v2
- no basic authentication
- the reports are defined in the BIP environment; not in ApEx

I overlooked a not nillable field...

Page format not able to set in spool - Using - GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS

Hi Friends,
I am calling transaction using BDC.
Before that I have called function GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS
to set the layout . And used the command
CALL FUNCTION 'GET_PRINT_PARAMETERS'
    EXPORTING
      copies         = 1
      cover_page     = '2'
      destination    = g_spld
      layout         = 'X_65_200'
      line_count     = 65
      line_size      = 200
      mode          = 'BATCH'
      new_list_id    = 'X'
      no_dialog      = ' '
      release        = ' '
      sap_cover_page = 'X'
    IMPORTING
      out_parameters = print_parameters
      valid          = valid_flag.
For creating the new page
     NEW-PAGE
               PRINT ON
                 PARAMETERS print_parameters NO DIALOG.
Now at this point i have called the BDC. Here I am able to create spool id. But the strange thing is spool is not using the layout 'X_65_200' .But using the default layout as 'X_65_80'.
Can you help me out to solve this problem. Or any other way to overcome this.
Thanks..

Hi Jishi,
just one question why are you trying to set exchange profile on r3 system?
"The exchange profile is an XML document that is stored in the main database of the SAP Exchange Infrastructure"
from:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/89/6f1741b393f26fe10000000a1550b0/content.htm
you do not set it in R/3 systems...
Unless I'm wrong...

Generating BIP report in RTF format generates blank report

Hi all,
When generating a BIP report in RTF format the report output is blank!?
If I run the report in any other format the report displays the data correctly.
We're running siebel 8.1.1.2 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1.
When looking at the size of the report when the 'File Download' window appears it seem like the report contains data as the size is 62KB, compared to the pdf format which do display data is 20KB. The output generates the amount of pages that is needed for the report, but all pages are blank.
The report is an activity List report with just one for-each statement in it.
Has anybody come across the same?
Regards,
Hakan

Hi alka,
To invoke Word automatically, use command
line options DESTYPE=CACHE,
DESFORMAT=RTF and MIMETYPE=application/msword.
This is an example URL: http://webserver:80/cg-bin/rwcgi60.exe?module
=test.rdf&userid=scott/tiger@mydb&
destype=cache&desformat=rtf&mimetype=application/msword&server=myrepserver
1. Check the appropriate mimetype setting for Word by Starting Windows Explorer,
choose View -> Options from the menu, go to the File Type tab, find Microsoft
Word Document in this list, click Edit, and get the value for Content Type
(MIME). This is the value that needs to be used in the MIMETYPE command line
option, and it will typically be application/msword, but may differ on
different machines.

Datareader is not able to connect with database-Urgent

Hi All,
All of a sudden the Datareader component in my ML experiment is not able to connect with database with the following error:
[ModuleOutput] DllModuleHost Error: 1 : Program::Main encountered fatal exception: Microsoft.Analytics.Exceptions.ErrorMapping+ModuleException: Error 0000: Internal error ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.ArgumentException: The value's length for key 'password' exceeds it's limit of '128'.
Module finished after a runtime of 00:00:00.2031339 with exit code -2
Module failed due to negative exit code of -2
It complains about the password being long-but the same credentials I have been using for the last 2 months and still able to use it to run sql queries on that same database using the management portal.
It appears that Azure encrypts the password and that encrypted password is too long...just my guess after looking that the output.Inside Ml it just says as internal error
Would appreciate if someone can point to the issue at the earliest...(There is a demo early next week)

Hi,
Please check this url:
https://studio.azureml.net/Home/ViewWorkspace/bc85d4f81d2246c4b1430eb395229a3a?&hashSeg=#Workspaces/Experiments/Experiment/bc85d4f81d2246c4b1430eb395229a3a.f-id.11776ae4400f4c1aa9f58308c30810fa/ViewExperiment
which is an experiment which I created doing save as of the experiment in which the data reader works.
I stripped everything except the data reader and setup the rest of the components...I finally have to write the results back ,so also pulled a Writer component.
Now,the data reader works fine..but the Writer fails:
Error 0071: Incorrect username "acnadmin" or password is passed
Strangely,its the same credentials set in the DataReader.
Looks like all the DataInput/Output components created recently only have the problem.
Once again,while the datareader in this case passes the password in plain text,the writer encrypts,hence fails.

I am not able to communicate with my instruments

Hello,
I am a graduate student in India. I
am using NI PCI-GPIB card, which we bought nearly one year back. I am using
LabVIEW 6i. For last two days I am not able to communicate with my
instruments (Keithley DMM 196, Keithley current source 220, Lakshore
temperature controller 93C).
1. I started NI488.2 troubleshooting wizard. It says NI488.2 software
presence verified, GPIB hardware presence verified,GPIB interfaces
sequentially varified. This means Card is alright?
2. I started MAX measurement and automation explorer. It lists GPIB0
(PCI-GPIB) under 'devices and interfaces' folder. After selecting this, If
I click at 'scan for instruments', 'Instruments not found' message
appears.
3. You may say that instru
ments had problem. But the same instruments are
working fine with another system with other card.
4. I agin reinstalled PCI GPIB 488.2 driver from the CD. Now It is listing
three instuments out of four. But the GPIB address for these instruments
are
not same as actual address. It also says instrument didn't reply for *IDN?
query.
5. Everything was working alright, this problem arose few days back
suddenly.
please help me

Dear sir,
Really something surprising. My instument is 'LakeShore DRC-93C'
temperature controller. Probably bought around 7-8 years back.
Here is the actual GPIB add & address read by MAX and correponding
three NI-SPY log.
actual GPIB add*****address read by MAX*****Max Capture(attached files)
25***** 9*****capture_1
21***** 5*****no file attached
20***** 4*****capture_2
17***** 1*****no file attached
10***** instrument not found****capture_3
7*****instrument not found*****no file attached
for first four cases MAX showed 'instrument did not reply to *IDN? query?
Same thing happened when I connected an Keithely Current Source.
(only one instrument is connected,)
actual GPIB add*****address read by MAX
8*****instrument not found
17***** 1
25***** 9
This means MAX is reading GPIB number 16 less than actual Number? Then I tried
to write command at both GPIB address(actual and read by MAX) but both didn't work?
What should I do next?
with best regards
Ram Shanker

We are not able to pass the presentation variables(date & Date1) to the det

Hi,
We have followed the below link to use the date between prompt and passed the presentation variables in the filter condition of the report criteria.
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2009/03/obiee-between-dates-prompt.html
But we are not able to pass the presentation variables(date & Date1) to the detail report.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Siva.

Yes,I think it wont pass the parameters from one parent report to child report.one thing you can do is put the detailed report on a page in the same dashboard as that of prompt.Put the same between condition on that report also.Give navigation link to this page instead of report.You can hide this page as well so that it will be available only on navigation.
i have not tried it.Give it a try.

I am not able to connect with Itunes Match. I constantly receive the message error 4010

I am not able to connect with Itunes Match. I constantly receive the error 4010.

I can run the general "Update iTunes Match" from the menu but cannot add individual tracks by right-clicking (control-clicking) on them the way I usually do. Then I get the 4010 error message.
Based on other posts here, I can assume the problem is not just me.
