Data model in Interactive Reporting

Hi,
Could any one clarify me on What is Data model in Interactive report and how we can use exactly.

A data model is the physical representation of your tables joined together.
In SQL terms it the FROM and WHERE (JOIN) clauses.
an IR Query section depends on a Data Model. That Data Model can be a Master Data Model (Shared with many Query Sections) or a regular Data Model.
Master Data Models cannot be changed within the Query Section - Their Background is Grey and will indicate so in the upper left corner of the screen...
Locked Data Model: {data model section name}
Master Data Models are useful in that you only design it once and then it and its connection are shared with many Query Sections. And modifications to the Data Model are then applied in the Data Model Section and each dependent Query Section has those changes.
For a more comple defintion open Interactive Reporting and go to HELP. In the Search type "Data Modeling"
You will have plenty to read.

  • Create data models using interactive reporting

    Hey guys,
    I was wondering how you create data models using interactive reporting. An simple example would be great? I would really appreciate if I could get an answer.
    Also, I wanted to understand a real world situation that you guys might have faced with creating data models, etc...thanks a ton :-)

    Your question is not that much clear on what you are asking for.
    But for reference please have a look at the below doc which explain the Integration with IR and webanalysis what you require.

    Custom Reports Data Model - can't report on custom dictionaries
    In QA and Prod I see custom dictionaries in the Custom Reports Data Model, in Test there are none.
    Dictionaries and Sevices marked Reportable are not showing up under Dictionaries and Services Dimensions.
    I rerun the ETL and the scheduled tasks, but no luck. any suggestions?

    Do you see any error when you run the ETL, i.e. the Java ETL embedded with the app server? 

  • Two data Models in one report

    Hi There,
    I have created two data model for my report. The queries have no relation to each other. Is that possible to put both these in one report with same user parameters. or do u have any better suggestion to do this.
    For Example:
    select count(*) from (select name "Worker" from person
    where start_date between (:P_1) and (:P_2)
    select count(*) from (select name "ADMIN PERSON" from admin
    where start_date between (:P_1) and (:P_2)
    Thanks

    Hi Jagjit,
    I created one report with 2 SQL queries:
    select count(*) from employees where department_id < :P_1
    and
    select count(*) from departments where department_id < :P_1
    And it worked fine. So your report should be OK. By the way, a report has just one "Data Model". It is possible to have 2 or more "Queries" in the data model.

  • Using mulitple data models in a report

    Is it possible to use more than one data model in a report? For example, we have many reports that are based on several data models. There are also various sub-templates that could be associated with a report, independent of the report's main data model. I cannot see a way to join data models, leaving me with only two apparent choices:
    1) Add (replicate) all the sub-template data sources and data sets to each data model
    2) Create a mega model that has everything.
    Any ideas for a better solution? Seems like a common problem...
    Thanks,

    Hello, and thank you for answering.
    Puting a # infront of portal30.wwctx_api.get_user didn't work
    When i did that, it resulted in this pl/sql code in the package:
    if l_column.get_value = '#portal30.wwctx_api.get_user' then
    l_style := l_row.get_style;
    l_style.set_color('blue');
    l_style.set_background_color('red');
    l_style.set_font('');
    l_style.set_bold('NO' );
    l_style.set_italic('NO');
    l_style.set_underline('NO');
    l_style.set_blink('NO');
    l_row.set_style(l_style);
    end if;
    It looks like the portal treat all that is inside the value field as text.
    I tried to come around the problem by editing the plsql code which is stored in the database. This worked, but when i tried to edit it from the portal afterwards, my changes wasn't reflected.

  • CRM 7.0 - Enhancement of Data Sources for interactive Reporting

    Hallo All,
    I would like to know whether anybody has positive experience with the enhancement of CRM Data Sources for interactive Reporting. I read that the enhancement of Customer fields should be possible (Those Data Sources below the Hierarchy node /CRMBW/ROOT).
    I have seen that the extract structure can be enhanced via RSA6 (as for other data sources).
    Questions:
    1. Which USEREXIT / BADI has to be used to fill the added fields?
    2. Does it work?
    Best regards

    Hi!
    Those DS are not meant to be enhanced manually but only by one of the following two ways:
    1. Adding custom fields with the Application Enhancement Tool (AET) in the CRM UI.
    2. Adding SAP fields with the Interactive Reporting Enhancement Workbench (IREW).
    The AET is available since CRM 7.0. Please find more details in the SAP Help Portal:

  • Custom date fields in Interactive Report

    Hi,
    I am using newly patched version of Apex - 4.0.2.00.06
    What I am trying to do is to have two datepicker fields P84_DATE_FROM and P84_DATE_TO in separate HTML region, on the page that has IR / Interactive Report, that will be filter in report source.
    In debug mode I noticed that values that are picked with datepicker are not binding in report sql.
    select * from calendar_x
    where
    date between to_date(:P84_DATE_FROM,'DD.MM.YYYY') and to_date(:P84_DATE_TO,'DD.MM.YYYY')
    Do I have to force submit on Go button before it executes gReport.search('SEARCH')? Is it the right way to go about this?
    Thnx,

    Hi Vish,
    I was informed by SAP few months back that Interactive Reports can not be enhanced with custom fields. I don't see any documentation regarding this.
    You may want to check with SAP also.

  • 'unsupported data type' in interactive report

    Hi,
    I try to download a file from a link of an itneractive report.
    In the "report attributes" section of the interactive column, I have defined in the link section of a column the 'Target' as 'URL', and the URL as this :
    DOWNLOAD:CONVENTIONS:#FILE_BLOB#:#ID#::#MIME_TYPE#:#FICHIERS#:#LAST_UPDATE#::attachment:ConvWhen I run the interactive report, the link show this :
    download:CONVENTIONS:[unsupported data type]:188:::C22.pdf:::attachment:Conv
    The table "CONVENTIONS" is defined like this :
    "ID" NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
    "FICHIERS" VARCHAR2(2048 BYTE),
    "FILE_BLOB" BLOB,
    "LAST_UPDATE" DATE,
    "MIME_TYPE" VARCHAR2(255 BYTE)
    Where is my error ?
    Thank for your kind help !
    Christian

    Hi Christina,
    sorry the wizard you have to use is the "Form > Form on Table with Report", because the normal create interactive report wizard allows to enter a query.
    After you are done with the wizard, have a look at the generated SQL statement (it has to use the dbms_lob.getlength) and the value in "Number / Date Format" for that column.

  • Does not appear possible to use date formatting in interactive reports

    I've an interactive report displaying a column of data type = date. When populated with the result of "select (sysdate) from dual;", regardless of what data type conversion (to_char/to_date) or what time formatting is used (attempting DD-MON-YYYY HH:MIPM), the displayed time is always 12:00AM.
    Thanks!
    Paul

    Can you post a small example of what you are trying to do on the hosted instance of APEX from Oracle? You are trying to get the following:
    SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI PM') test_col FROM DUAL to format properly?
    It returns: 18-NOV-2010 09:51 PM in a one column report for me..

  • Between operator for group by date in Apex Interactive Reports

    Hi,
    In the interactive reports filter, i couldn't find the 'between' operator for date field (got a 'group by date' in my sql query (source). I am just wondering, Is it beacuse of the group by date clause?. Is there any way to show the 'between' operator in the interactive reports filter.
    Thanks

    I just opened an existing IR style report, went to actions, filter, selected a date column and found between at the bottom of the list of values.. Are you sure the date you are trying to filter on is a true date column?

  • How to highlight break column data in an interactive report?

    Relates to an interactive reports V4.x :
    In the break column area in an IR report, the labels and data seem to be very vanilla and hard to distinguish particularly if you break on more than one column. When I move a non-break column with a highlight defined (set on cell) into the break position, the highlighting disappears.
    Is it possible to somehow retain the highlight colour on break column data?
    Any hints?
    thanks in advance

  • Date Problem in Interactive Reports Mail

    Hi Everyone,
    I am using Apex 4.2.2  ,
    Issue is when I am sending mail through  download, e-mail section of an interactive report. Mail is received on the mail server and but in its mail header send_date is not coming due to which our server is blocking that mail. How to send date as well in the header in oracle apex?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    if this is an ITEM in IR, you can use in Column Definition | Number Date format the following specifier:
    999G999G999G999G990D0
    Hope it helps!
    After the D in the format specifier, put as many 0s as the number of digits you want to be displayed after the decimal point.
