Image column in an interactive report (APEX 4.0)

Hi,
I have added a new blob column containing images to an interactive report, but get the following error:-
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
If the "IMAGE" column is removed from the report using the "actions:select column" control, the report is ok.
The column contains the following settings in the "BLOB Download Format Mask":-
IMAGE:WINEDETAILS:IMAGE:WINE_ID::MIMETYPE:FILENAME:::inline:Download
Have I missed something?
Regards
Tim

Firstly, did you run: GRANT EXECUTE ON DISPLAY_IMAGE TO PUBLIC
Yes..
Secondly, is "OBJEKT" a reserved word in your language version of Oracle?
No, objekt is not reserved word.
Lastly, is your table defined in the same way as mine:
CREATE TABLE "A_IMAGES"
"IMAGE_ID" NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"FILE_NAME" VARCHAR2(4000) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"BLOB_CONTENT" BLOB,
"MIME_TYPE" VARCHAR2(4000),
CONSTRAINT "A_IMAGES_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("IMAGE_ID") ENABLE
Script of my table:
CREATE TABLE PROD.TOB_DOKUMENTI
ID NUMBER(10) NOT NULL,
PARENT_ID NUMBER(3) NOT NULL,
ID_VALUE NUMBER(10),
NAZIV_DOKUMENTA VARCHAR2(500 BYTE),
VELICINA NUMBER,
OBJEKT BLOB,
LINK VARCHAR2(1000 BYTE),
DATUM_OD DATE NOT NULL,
DATUM_DO DATE,
STATUS VARCHAR2(1 BYTE) DEFAULT 'D' NOT NULL,
ID_KUPCA NUMBER(10) NOT NULL,
ID_VRSTE NUMBER(6) NOT NULL,
ID_DOC_ORIGINAL NUMBER,
FILE_NAME VARCHAR2(4000 BYTE),
MIME_TYPE VARCHAR2(100 BYTE)
I also think that everything is set up correctly, but it still not working..
THNX for Your reply..
Kreso..
(apart from the table and field names)

Link column from an interactive report to insert a row in a tabular form

Hi, I need your help, i'm new on APEX and i really need to make a "link column" from an "interactive report" to insert a row into a "tabular form".
I mean that when you click the "link column" instantly create a new row in the Tabular form with the information of the linked row on the interactive report. Its something like that.
I really appreciate your help.
Ricardo Capuz

Hi Ricardo,
You can use the following code as per your requirement (this is just an example),
(In this case IR report is in Page#1 and Tabular form is in Page#2),
On Page#1, Create a hidden item (i.e 'P1_ID')
IR Report query as like the below,
select empno,
ename,
job,
mgr,
hiredate,
sal,
comm,
deptno,
empno "copy"
from empUse the below JS code in Page HTML Header section,
function f_insert_row(pSub)
$s('P1_ID',pSub);
doSubmit('ADD');
Edit Report Attribute -> copy column -> Under Column Link
Link Text: Select your column name (i.e. #EMPNO#)
Target: URL
URL: javascript:f_insert_row(#EMPNO#);
Then create a process to insert like below,
BEGIN
insert into emp_test (select * from emp where empno=:P1_ID);
END;Process condition as * Request=Expression1* in Expression1 as 'ADD'.
At last, create a branch to Page#2, Check 'include process success message' and with the same condition as * Request=Expression1* in Expression1 as 'ADD'.
Thanks,
Lakshmi

.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="COLUMN_ALIAS"] {
width: 10em;
}where COLUMN_ALIAS is the alias of the column in the report query and the width measure is whatever you require.

Creating Dynamic Column Headings in Interactive Reports

Hi,
any ideas how I can alter the name of a column in an interactive report.?
I have columns whose usage is defined by the end user and consequently want to have their own meaningful column header displayed whenever this column is referenced.
I can get column headers to change in standard reports by using PL/Sql to return the column headers. In Forms, I use shortcuts (these don't seem to work for reports, I wish they did) but I'm at a loss on how to achieve this with IR's.
Thanks
Mike

I wrote a script(application process) that updated the table that holds column name. I changed the display name, not the column name. I cant remember the actual table, but i found it by looking at the code that create the "APEX Application Page Ir Col" View.
I dont know if this is best practice, but it works for me.

Referencing columns in an interactive report

I need to link an interactive master report in APEX to a interactive detailed report. Both reports have a common column name (PCN). To create a link from the master report to the detailed report, we must specify a "Name" in the column link section for the column in the master report. My question is: how does one reference a column in an interactive report so an entry can be provided in the "Name" box in the column link section?
I developed a solution by creating a text item (P1_PCN) in the detailed report and using P1_PCN as the "Name". I then modified the source for the detailed report to be: select . . . where pcn = :p1_pcn. However, what would we do if the user community wants the functionality to click on a variety of column values in the master report, e.g. filter the detailed report by a value of PCN or STHN or UIC or etc? I rather think this could be done but it would be very cludgy.
Thanks

Basically, you are doing it the right way.
If you are sure that there are no overlapping column values, you can modify the query of the detail report to something like
select . . .
where (pcn = :p1_pcn
or sthn = :p1_pcn
or uic = :p1_pcn
)

Use same image column twice in a report

Hello,
I have a question which is, can I use a same image column (example column A) twice in a report? first occurrence (column A) will show the image thumbnail and the second occurrence (column A) will show image download link which opens image in a new window. Is it possible?
Thanks
Pravish

LA-APEX-DEv wrote:
Yes, it's possible. However, if you intent to have two different images, then I would suggest you use a javascript to link or download the blob.
What on Earth for? Why is JavaScript necessary to download two different images? Even if this were in any way true, the OP is clear that the displayed thumbnail and download link involve the same image.
To accomplish this task, you either use decode or create a union query.
No, all that should be necessary is to reference the image column twice in the report query projection, and apply a download format mask to one column and an image mask to the other. That the OP has apparently failed to do this probably indicates that they are unnecessarily complicating things.
For example:
select '<a href="javascript:downloadImg(' || image_id || ');"><img src="/i/download.gif"></a>' link_col
from table
where allow_view = 'Y'
union all
select '<img src="/i/folder.gif">' link_col
from table
where allow_view = 'N'
or
select decode(allow_view,'Y',
'<a href="javascript:downloadImg(' || image_id || ');"><img src="/i/download.gif"></a>',
'<img src="/i/folder.gif">') link_col
from table
What is downloadImg? it is not a standard APEX JavaScript API. It is therefore highly unlikely that this is of any use to the OP.

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

Best way to style a column in an interactive report?

Since I'd rather not do it directly in the SQL used to populate the report, can someone suggest a clean way to style all cells of a given column from an interactive report? Perhaps all cells of interest can be addressed through jquey using the "headers" attribute they share?

Oh, and I'd also like to make the vertical separations between cells aparent if possible....Please try this one:
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA TD {border-style:ridge;border-color:#98bf21;
border-width:3px;}For more details please visit:

Problem with column groups on Interactive Report

Hi
I am hoping that someone can help with this problem.
I am attempting to control both the grouping and ordering within each group of fields in the single row view of an interactive report. Creating column groups appears to be OK at first (sequence, name and description) but if I then attempt to edit the group, the sequence box appears to be empty even though it was filled with a unique number at the time of creating the group.
In addition, any changes to the order of the fields within the group made using the shuttle box at the bottom of the screen don't seem to be saved even to the Apply Changes button is pressed.
Anybody know what is happening here and can anyone suggest how to control both the order of the groups and ordering within each group?
Thanks in anticipation
Martin

Uploading an image in interactive report APEX 4.0

Hi,
I hope you can help me. I am using the book "Begining ORACLE APEX", which is for APEX 3.1.2, to learn APEX. Now, I use the online APEX 4.0. In the 6th chapter one should add new columns to the PRODUCTS table: one for the PRODUCT_IMAGE, a BLOB column, and 3 more for MIMETYPE, FILENAME, and IMAGE_LAST_UPDATE. So, i need to make an interactive report, with this new table. I include it, but when I run the application it doesn't show. So i insert in the SQL for the report : "PRODUCT_IMAGE", and run the page again, and there i add the column using Actions button. When added, each row is is filled with: [unsupported data type]. When trying to upload an image it doesn't work. It doesn't show anything. I even tried putting: dbms_lob.length("PRODUCT_IMAGE") "PRODUCT_IMAGE" in the SQL of the report, but it doesn't work. It is like a problem with uploading the image. It doesn't do anything.
I would really appreciate your help, this is really important for my job..
Sincerely,
Leila

See the sample application provided in your workspace, there in page no 3 they have created a interactive report showing a image in one of the column, I think it will solve your problem.
