How to rename sections in CR XI R2 Report Designer?
Hello!
I have developed a number of reports with the Report Designer Component in Visual Basic. In the RDC, you can rename the report sections using the VB properites for that section. I am saving these reports as .rpt files so that I can display them with with a Java client using JRC. When I edit the .rpt files in CR XI R2 Report Designer, I cannot see the section names that I gave to the sections in the RDC, and I cannot find a way to edit the section names. However, I can still access the sections in the rpt files with JRC by the names I gave them in the RDC, so the section names must be in there some where. Where does on edit/view the section names in the CR XI R2 report designer?
I have probably missed something obvious, so thanks for any help!

Hello,
"From the RDC, one can export the report to an RPT file. When you perfrom that operation RDC is out of the picutre"
Not correct. It is the RDC processing the report and doing the exporting.
RDC (craxdrt.dll) is COM, Java is our JAR files and the Report Designer uses crpe32 based API's and functionality plus some more embedded routines which are a combination of our API's. And I believe you may be using the Embedded Designer Control (craxddrt.dll - yes one more d ) which is another deprecated report engine and is only used in the .NET IDE for creating reports and no allowed to distribute as of CR 2008.
The Report Designer ( crw32.exe ) only has the option to use long names or short names and will display those only and not your custom names. The Java Engine ( JRC ) is relatively new and is based on existing code but completely different so no new functionality and I doubt naming of sections is included.
The Embedded Designer Control was used for third party developers to impliment into their own applications but as noted above, it's no longer supported as of CR 2008. Life cycle is about to end also for R2.
The replacement for the RDC is Report Application Server ( RAS ) and can be used in both a managed .NET as well as a Java application.
Yes it is totally confusing so Use what ever works... But this would be a minor issue which if you really want it in RAS or the JRC I can put in an Enhancement request for you?
Thank you

if input selection is Normal and RDO then only 2 columns w'd be created and the other 2 fixed columns.
Can anybody help me how do I design such report....
ThanksHi Developer life,
According to your description that you want to dynamically increase and decrease the numbers of the columns in the table, right?
As Jason A Long mentioned that we can use the matrix to do this and put the year field in the column group, amount fields(Numric values) in the details, add an filter to filter the data base on this column group, but if
the data in the DB not suitable to add to the matrix directly, you can use the unpivot function to turn the column name of year to a single row and then you can add it in the column group.
If there are too many columns in the column group, it will fit the page size automatically and display the extra columns in the next page.

If your still have any problem, please try to provide us more details information, such as the data structure in the DB and the table structure you are currently designing.
Any question, please feel free to let me know.

How to search for a text string in Reports designer?
In iDS reports (10gR2), I want to search from top down for a text string was used in one of the queries or triggers. In Forms, you can do it, in reports the related menu item is always seems to be grayed out no matter what item I pick in the Navigator. Is it doable or not? If yes, then how. I don't wanna open each program piece including the queries in the data model, report triggers or program units and look for (by visual scanning) for the text I am searching for. This is crazy. There must be a way to do it. Thanx.
That is pretty bad for such an expensive report development program. The forms allows it, I wonder why Oracle did not include similar functionality in the reports developer. I knew the conversion to ascii, but during development it is pain in the ... just to search for a simple text string in the related program units in the report, to convert to ascii, do the search and then go back to the developer. Anyway, if that is the only way, there is nothing we can do I guess :(

How to insert a new field in the Report Designer
Hi all.
I have a query and a report, but the query evolve.
We have a new key figure (inside rows).
In the report designer, I check the data provider.
The new key figure is added in the catalog field.
Now, I would like to insert the new field in the report.
I add a new row in the report structure but it isnt what I want.
In this case, I add a second row inside an another keys figures block.
I want to create a new block for my new key figure
Thanks for your help
CélineYes, key figures is in the field catalog.
But When I do that " Insert a row ", Report designer create a " row 2 " below another key figures.
And it isn't what I want. I want a new block .
For exemple in the tab report structure (My new key figure is "Margin")
I do that
Group Level 1 : key figures
Detail Area
Sales Amount
row1
cell1
cell2
Cost
row1
cell1
cell2
row2 ( the new row added)
cell1
cell2
But I want that:
Group Level 1 : key figures
Detail Area
Sales Amount
row1
cell1
cell2
Cost
row1
cell1
cell2
Margin
row1
cell1
cell2

How to know how many users uses Report Designer?
Dear Experts,
Somebody knows if it's possible to know how many users have made look ups in Report Designer on one period or how many modifications?
Thanks in advance.Hi,
If the cube is checked for Statistics, there is a option settings for BI Statistics under tools, then all the user related info is stored in Techincal Content Cubes. Based on TCT(technical Content Cubes), you need to create a report based on the requirement. From then we can know user log info for the particular queries.
Hope this helped you

How to add different query results in Report designer

How can i add results of queries in report designer??
thanks in advanceHi Siva,
As u said that u want to show the results of the queries through report designer but i think it is used for formatted reports .
If u want to see tha results of diffrent query then u can use workbook .
In workbook u can also analyse reports easily by applying slice and dice techniques .
from different queries result set will be displayed on workbook with formatting and good look and feel.

How do I name or rename sections in Pages word processing mode?
How do I name or rename sections in Pages word processing mode?
Those pages/sections you see in the when clicking on the Section button are Captured pages that you can use if you like. You can read about Captured pages and all about sections in Chapter 3 of the Pages User Guide. The Guide is downloadable from your Pages Help menu.
To delete sections you delete the section break. To see the sections break turn on the Invisible characters by going View menu > Show invisibles. Text in the section will stay if you don't delete it.
Add sections you do by adding section breaks. To name them you have to learn about capturing pages. Read about it on page 60 and 269. -
How to rename a column name in a table? Thanks first!
I tried to drop a column age from table student by writing the
following in the sql plus environment as :

I have oracle enterprise edition 8.0.5 installed at windows 2000
thank you
And I want to know how to rename a column name in a table?
thanksIn Oracle 8i, your syntax would have worked. However, if I
recall correctly, in Oracle 8.0, you can't rename or drop a
column directly. One way to get around that problem is to
create another table based on a select statement from your
original table, providing the new column name as an alias if you
want to change the column name, or omitting that column from the
select statement if you just want to drop it. Then drop the
original table. Then re-create the original table based on a
select statement from the other table. Then you can drop the
other table. Here is an example:
CREATE TABLE temporary_table_name
AS
SELECT age AS new_column_name,
other_columns
FROM student
DROP TABLE student
CREATE TABLE student
AS
SELECT *
FROM temporary_table_name
DROP TABLE temporary_table_name
Something that you need to consider before doing this is
dependencies. You need to make a list of all your dependecies
before you do this, so that you can re-create them afterwards.
If there are a lot of them, it might be worthwhile to do
something else, like creating a view with an alias for the
column or just providing an alias in a select. It depends on
what you need the different column name for. -
How to Rename a Topic ID in Map File to Avoid Conflict with Another Program?
Robo 8 HTML:
Can somebody assist me in understanding how to rename a topic ID in my map.h file?
An application programmer informs me there are nine topic IDs (shown below) in my project map file which conflict with predefined names of constants/functions from the Visual Studio Libs program and, is requesting I change the names of the topics listed below to resolve topic ID conflict in order to enable F1 call for these topics.
#define Open 59
#define Save 60
#define Print 63
#define Cut 72
#define Copy 73
#define Paste 74
#define Clear 75
#define Status 81
#define Substructure 139
Can I simply alter the topic names and retain their associated map numbers in <Create/Edit Map ID> dialog to resolve the map file conflict with Visual Studio Libs program functions? Or, is there more work involved in changing a topic name in a map.h file?
Any assistance with this question is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
robertHi,
Simply renaming the TopicID's in the .h file won't work. The TopicID is used in the alias file (projectname.ali) to link a map number with a topic. Also, you can use either TopicID's or map numbers to call the help. (Using TopicID's only works for WebHelp afaik.)
If you use map numbers to call the help, you can rename the TopicID using the mentioned dialog. No problem.
If you want to change the ID from the files, you have to change both the .h file as the .ali file. No changes to topics needed. -

Before the completion of the file the EDI tool is extracting the file from the app server.So here I would like to generate the file with a temp name and then rename to the actual file name which EDI recognises and fetches.
Please correct me If I am wrong and let me know how to rename the file in application server.
Thanks,
Vijay Nyou can try using unix command , if your application server is unix.
use move command
mv <source> <target>
REPORT ZUNIX line-size 400
no standard page heading.
data: unixcom like rlgrap-filename.
unixcom = 'mv file1 file2'.
data: begin of tabl occurs 500,
line(400),
end of tabl.
data: lines type i.
start-of-selection.
refresh tabl.
call 'SYSTEM' id 'COMMAND' field unixcom
id 'TAB' field tabl[].
or else you can open dataset/ read the dataset and move it to another file and delete the old file. -
How to rename the column name in oracle 8i?
hi,
Does anyone know how to rename the column name in oracle 8i?My method was drop the relationship key first then delete the old column,finally add the new column.

For you task one example given below.
Example:-
Already existed table is ITEMS

But instead of ITID I want ITEMID.
Solution:-

as select itid itemid, itemname from items;
step 2 :- drop table items;
step 3 :- rename items_dup to items;
Result:-
ITEMS table contains columns ITEMID, ITEMNAME -
How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library?
How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library? I can't double click on folder, when I right click it just gives options to erase. Can someone help?
I think you may have misunderstood - the question is regarding renaming a project "folder", not a project name.
Still, the accepted answer here makes no sense to me at all - it's about renaming an event. So we're all confused ;-)
BTW as of 10.0.5, I still cannot rename a project folder while background tasks are running - no clue is given that this is what's going on, second-clicking on the folder just (frustratingly) does nothing. When background tasks finish, it works again.
