Export XML from interactive report

Hi all,
is there a way to export the resulting output of an interactive report as XML (inline and/or attachment), like a normal report can do? (with FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R<region_ID>)
The download option for ir provide only CSV and PDF.
Regards,
Marco

I explain my request.
I have a very complex SQL query, which is (much) more than 4000 characters and it works well in the interactive report.
As the interactive report is quite different from the normal report and the procudure FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R<region_ID> doesn't seem to work, I'm obliged to create a report query in the shared components to get also the XML output, but shared report query accepts query less than 4000 characters long.
Any idea?
Marco

Change exported XML from a report

Hello,
I need to export a XML from a report button with this structure:
<LOTE CONTABLE>
<CONFIG />
<LOTE>LOTE</LOTE>
<LINEAS>
<LINEA>
<FAC_CODI>1</FAC_CODI>
<EFDESC>F/pruebass N 1</EFDESC>
<EFTYPENT>P</EFTYPENT>
<EFCOMPTE>960</EFCOMPTE>
</LINEA>
</LINEAS>
I have a report with all the columns that I need. I have created a Report Queries (from Shared Components) to generate a XML with the same sql as the report but the XML that APEX generates by default has this structure:
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<FAC_CODI>1</FAC_CODI>
<EFDESC>F/pruebass N 1</EFDESC>
<EFTYPENT>P</EFTYPENT>
<EFCOMPTE>960</EFCOMPTE>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
How can I change this structure? I want to add a header and replace "rowset" and "row" to "lineas" and "linea". Is it possible?
Thank you very much in advance.
Kind regards,
Amparo

The issue is that in the following code, I've replaced this line:
qryCtx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext('select hash_value from hash');
with this line:
qryCtx := dbms_xmlgen.newContext(V_Return);
I did this because the value that I want to be in XML is in the variable V_Return and not in a table. I get a compilation error:
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong typeCompilation failed
Is there a way to use newContext with a variable value rather than a select statement from a table?

It seems unlikely. The DBMS_XMLGEN documentation says:
>
The DBMS_XMLGEN package converts the results of a SQL query to a canonical XML format. The package takes an arbitrary SQL query as input, converts it to XML format, and returns the result as a CLOB.

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e10577/d_xmlgen.htm#i1012053
If <tt>VReturn</tt> is not a SQL query then you will need to use one of the (many) other ways of generating XML. This question has nothing to do with APEX and would be better addressed to the XML DB.
Additionally, the recommended methods for XML generation, encryption and hashing are heavily version-dependent and you should always quote the relevant DB version/edition information to ensure an appropriate answer. For example, DBMS_OBFUSCATION_TOOLKIT is deprecated as of Oracle 10g and replaced by DBMS_CRYPTO.

Download data from interactive report

Hi all. I'm on apex 3.1.1.00.09.
I have this problem: when I download data from interactive report I can download only in CSV and PDF. If I try to download into pdf it creates a file of only 1 KB.
I would know if I must configure my apex in order to download correctly in pdf and if I must configure it in order to download in doc and xls format.
Thanks all for collaboration,
Fabrizio

Thank you for your reply.
I am able to download the csv file, but my problem is: I don't want the column headings to show.
Is it possible to download only the data, not the column headings?

Script for Batch Exporting XML from IDCS3 files

Does anyone have a script they would share for batch exporting XML from IDCS3 files? I do not know anything about scripting so I do not know how to write one myself. I've also searched around and cannot find anything. I would appreciate any help with this anyone can offer.
Thanks,
Janine

Or use below Code:
try {
     inFolderName= Folder.selectDialog ("Input Folder:");
     outFolderName= Folder.selectDialog ("Output Folder:");
     if ((inFolderName != null) && (outFolderName != null))
          var idFileFolder = new Folder(inFolderName);
          var files = idFileFolder.getFiles("*.indd");
          for(myCounter = 0; myCounter < files.length; myCounter++)
               var theDocument = app.open(File(files[myCounter]));
               with ( theDocument ) {
               myXMLFile = new File(outFolderName + "/" + name.replace(".indd","") + ".xml" );
               exportFile( ExportFormat.xml, myXMLFile );

Error in exporting from Interactive Report to PDF format

Hello,
i am using APEX and from an Interactive Report i am trying to export using Download | PDF format. The table and corresponding report has only text fields. Database character set is UTF-8. Up to now i haven't been able to get a PDF file that can be open from Adobe Acrobat Reader. Every file fails opening with message like "Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf, because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). This happens for every report i have tried up to now. If i export report in CSV format all are ok.
Is there a known bug with PDF download of APEX?
TIA

See this link: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/configure_printing.html
FOP & Cocoon are free (just need to install the software and configure) Bi Publisher I believe works only for Standard Reports and no Interactive reports at this time.. If you have the $$ BI Publisher is worth the investment!!
Also, it is rumored that APEX 4.0 will have the PDF generation built in as apposed to the current model where you need to bolt something on..
Thank you,

ORA-20876 in csv export from interactive report = Possibly a bug?

Hi Apex team,
yesterday i tried to download data to csv from an interactive report. The resulting csv file contained a "ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine" only and no other data. I played around with other reports in my application and had no problems with exports.
After some investigation i found out that the buggy report contains a column of display type "Display as text (based on a LOV, escape special characters)". When I changed this column type to "Standard Report Column" for example, the error didn't appear anymore and the csv export contained complete data.
Maybe this is a bug? The environment is Apex 4.1.1.00.23 on 11g (UTF-8). Is there a workaround available?
Regards,
Jens
Edited by: j.gauger on 06.02.2013 14:10
Additional Information
The problem seems to occur only if a Shared Components LOV of type "Static" is referenced in the IR column.

Hi,
what happens if you take the query from IR report and create a new classic report?
On this report enable csv export and then try the export.
Maybe that (format) data are causing export to fail.
Try to export just one row in your IR report (and classic report), so that you add where rownum < 2.

Aljaz

Empty CSV exports of data from interactive reports.

Currently using version 4.2.1.00.08 of APEX. My application has interactive reports; when I try to export data to CSV file, it is empty. Tried HTML, that just has the control widget for the report. I could swear this used to work. Thanks for any help.

Hi!
Check that the RFC is set as a trusted connection and it uses the current user for the connection.
Check that you use the same user in RSCUSTV3 as in the source system you have set up in RSA1 for the REP and the BI client.
Check that the user you use for this is configured as follow
- On the tab Logon data select System as User Type, SUPER as User group and also enter an initial password; use password welcome.
- On the tab Roles assign the roles SAP_BC_USR_CUA_CLIENT and SAP_BC_USR_CUA_SETUP_CLIENT (Valid From and Valid to should be left empty). In addition, assign the profiles S_BI-WHM_RFC and S_BI-WX_RFC on the tab Profiles.

Unable to open PDF output (PDF downloaded from Interactive Report--APEX)

Hi,
I'm getting below error while opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report (APEX).
Adobe reader cound not open "TEST.pdf"because it is either not supportd file or because the file has been damaged.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramamuni.

Steps of pdf Printing of Report from FOP:
1) Download and unzip the following needed files in D:\Apex_fop directory.
2) Open your command prompt .
Change the directory to D:\Apex_fop\cocoon-2.1.11.
Set the Java_Home environment variable as: set JAVA_HOME= C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_21
then type build war
3) After getting the prompt back as D:>Apex_fop>cocoon-2.1.11>
Copy coocon.war file from the folder D:\Apex_fop\cocoon-2.1.11\build\cocoon.
Paste this file into webapps subdirectory in main tomcat directory having path as D:\APEX_FOP\apache-tomcat-6.0.26\webapps.....place it in the top
level of webapps directory.
4) Now just startup tomcat as D:>APEX_FOP>apache-tomcat-6.0.26>bin>startup.bat
The cocoon.war file will automatically uncompressed as directory.
5) To change the port of apache tomcat , edit apache-tomcat-6.0.26\conf\server.xml & change port attribute of Connector element from 8080 to 8181.
Just check whether Tomcat is running or not as http://localhost:8181/
& to check cocoon type http://localhost:8181/cocoon/
6) Now copy fop_post directory & paste it undes new cocoon directory in webapps having path as D:\APEX_FOP\apache-tomcat-6.0.26\webapps
\cocoon.
7) Now you need to do some apex settings as follows:
In APEX, just log in as ADMIN into apex/apex_admin and went to Instance Settings and did the following:
- Print Serverr: Standard Support
- Print Server Protocol: HTTP
- Print Server Host Address:localhost
- Print Server Port: 8181
- Print Server Script: /cocoon/fop_post
In your APEX application, in the Regions section, Click on the Print link next to your report and do the following settings:
- Enable Report Printing: Yes
- Link Label: Print
- Response Header: Report Settings
- View File As: Attachment
- Output Format: PDF
- Report Layout: Default Report Layout
- Print URL: f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.:FLOW_XMLP_OUTPUT_R1063230002781575
8) Open up the Report Page and click Print , You will get the pdf report.
I am sure this will help you

Hi,
1 particular Interactive Report in our application produces the following error message in the CSV file, if we attempt to download the report: -

Open document from interactive report

Application Express version 4.0.2.00.07.
In apex I am trying to accomplish the following:
1. create a link to a pdf or Word document stored on local network using the file browse button.
2. store the link to that file in my table but not store the actual document in the oracle table.
3. open the document from link in interactive report.
My dba does not want to store anymore documents into oracle because of performance issues we are experiencing with current applications that do this. Does anyone know the where to find sample code that will accomplish this task or will load the linked document into the oracle table but delete the document from the blob when the document is closed.

You're probably looking to use the BFILE functionality - a pointer to a LOB on the filesystem.
Try looking at some of the following sources for guidance

Error opening PDF downloaded from Interactive Report

hi -- I'm getting an error opening a PDF file downloaded from an interactive report.
I've seen on the forum that this could be related to the size of the file, but I've tried
this out on 10-row results (1k files) and it's still an issue.
I save the file to my file system. If I try to open it in Adobe Reader, I get:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'
and
Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
If I try to open in Internet Explorer, I get:
File does not begin with '%PDF-'
Other users are having the same problem. Download to csv and open in Excel works fine.
Do I need to have special print attributes for this? I didn't think so... I'm just using the defaults
(response header = report settings, content disposition = attachment).
Ideas?
Thanks,
Carol

Hi,
I'm having the same problem that was described above, and my site does have BI Publisher installed, and it does successfully produce readable pdfs for many reports.
But there are other reports, even reports produced using the Apex Wizard and all defaults, that just keep producing the same Adobe Reader error reported above, ie
"Adobe Reader could not open <filename>.pdf because it is either not a supported
file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email
attachment and wasn't correctly decoded)."
Any suggestions?
Cheers,

Set Form Values From Interactive Report Row

Using Apex 4.2.
I have two tables: T1 and T2
Table T1 contains five columns: CT11, CT12, CT13, CT14, CT15
Table T2 contains 4 columns: CT21, CT22, CT23, CT24
I have a page with two regions. Region 1 is a Form on a Table using table T1. Region 2 is an Interactive Report ( IR ) on table T2.
The SQL for region 2 is: select apex_item.RADIOGROUP(p_idx => 1, p_value => CT21) "Choose", CT22, CT23, CT24 from T2;
When the user clicks a radio button for a row in the Interactive Report, I would like the values in the IR cells CT22, CT23, CT24 to populate the CT13, CT14, CT15 fields in the table form in region 1. If a user clicks another row radio button, the values should update.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
As per my understanding ur requirement is as below.
When the user clicks the 'Link Column' it should redirect to another page with the value of id, Day, Start Time, and End Time.
Hope all the cloumns are from the same table.
As Denes said, it is enought to pass the ID value to the link column as of below.
ie., u can modify ur query as of below.
SELECT Last Name,First Name,Day,Start Time,End Time, ID as "Link Column"
FROM t.
Now u can pass the value as #Link Column# which will pass the ID value to the next page.
Hope my understanding is correct.
