Interactive report Export report link

I understand normally reports export to .CSV files & assume the name of the Report Region.
I see where in the interactive report - Report attributes - Report Export section you can specify a Fixed name for the report.
MY QUESTION:
Since my BOM report is based on a variable Part Number, can I have the variable become the name of my export.
Example I run a query for a 1234 p/n, can my report then download as 1234_BOM.csv
Thanks,
bob

Hi,
Set application or page item value to name you like have to your CSV file.
Then Interactive Report Attributes set Filename to your item name like
&Px_MY_ITEM.Regards,

Interactive Report Link Column HELP FROM GURUS requested

Hi,
I have an interactive report the data of which returns a file name for an image. I would like to use the Link Column (Link to Custom Target) option. The column in my underlying query has the image file name #ILINK#.
The Target URL is correctly formed using the #ILINK# bind variable http://myserver.mycompany.com/cgi-bin/oracle/img.cgi?img_file=#ILINK#;size=full
However, for the Link Icon (which I wanted to be a dynamic thumbnail of the linked image). The #ILINK# bind variable is not read. Is this because the Link Icon cannot be dynamically determined and must always be the same image?
I can get this working as a regular report using HTML expression, but I really wanted to harness the power of an interactive report.
Thanks

Hi,
in this case you could build the required html-tags in your SELECT statement, like this:
SELECT EMPNO
, ENAME
, '<a href="blablabla/index"><img src="'||ENAME||'.gif">'||ENAME||'</a>' AS ENAME_LINK
FROM EMP

Interactive Report, Link Column, Link Icon problem.....

APEX v3.2.000.27.
I have an interactive report and in the "Link Column" section there is a "Link Icon", if I try to substitute using one of the Columns, #IMAGETOUSE#, it does not do the substitution....
Has anyone ever seen this happen before? It does the substitution for #IMAGE_PREFIX#, but not for any column, no matter which column I use...

Hi,
The subsitute #IMAGE_PREFIX# is just the path of the image stored in apex installed directory. If you are trying to access the image that you have manually uploaded try using #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#. If you have a column name "COL1" substituting #COL1# in link text will display the value of the col1 in the report and it will have the url defined in URL section.
Thanks,
Manish

APEX 5 Interactive Report Link Hidden Column Pivot Report

Hi,
i have some interactive report (on table demo_orders)
If i put a link on, lets say USER_NAME and pass parameter, lets say #CUSTOMER_ID#, i can see
the value substituted correctly in the report link.
Using the pivot feature, e.g.:
Pivot-Coumns:
customer_id
Rowcolumns:
Order_id,
User_name.
Functions:
Sum - Order Total
the substitution doesnt seem to work anymore, the link looks like this:
f?p=43666:9:28969915122817::NO:RP:P9_CUSTOMER_ID:#CUSTOMER_ID#
a demo is there:
https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43666:9

Interactive Report : Conditional Link Column

Hi,
I want my interactive report Link Column (Link to single row view) will be visible/active only when for the logged in current user.
I am keeping the current user data in an "application_item".
When ever I am trying to put Condition type as "Value of Iten in Expression1 = Expression 2" with
Expression1 = CURR_USER (application item) and
Expression2 = First_user (user_Name)
the link column becomes invisible for the entire report.
Please Please Please help.
Thanks
Neetu

Hi,
See if condition type "User is Authenticated (not public)" is what you looking for.

Create Filter on an Interactive Report in a Link

Hello,
Here is info on my environment:
Database: 10.2.0.1.0
O/S: Windows XP
APEX: v3.2.1
I am trying to use the IR<operator>_<target column alias> feature to filter the linked Interactive Report. The feature does not seem to work. Does this feature work on a 10g database?
Background:
I am building the application (AnyCo Corp) described in the _2 Day + Application Express Developer’s Guide_ . On page 4-27 the section titled "_Linking a Column Value to Another Page_" describes linking from the Department report to the Employee report with the Column Link item IR_DEPARTMENT_ID. The link did not work, however.
The included APEX Users Guide discusses this feature. The path to the relevant section is: Home > Adding Application Components > Creating Reports > Editing Interactive Reports > Linking to Interactive Reports. The Guide describes the string IR<operator>_<target column alias> with lots of operators.
This is a neat feature. Unfortunately, no matter how I try to use it, it does not work. What am I doing wrong?
Leon

Interactive Report Hyperlinks to Document

I am converting an Access database to Apex manually due to the Access DB design flaws. I'm exporting tables that contain hyperlinks to documents on our server (from Access the user can link to the document). On export the liinked text exported as "title of document#link to server#" so I separated them into two columns. I now have the document title in one column and the hyperlink to that document in another, and created an interactive report containing those two columns along with the rest of the columns (i.e., DOCNO, NAME, LINK, DATE, etc.)
I want the user to link from the Interative Report link to that particular document on our server using the active link that I trimmed out.
How?
Your ideas welcomed!
Thank you!
Alexandra

Answer is on page 276 of Scott/Spendolini book.
Interactive Report
Go to Edit Interactive Report

Questions on Interactive Report Icons

When I created an Interactive Report, rectangular icons have been automatically created on the left side of the report on every line.
When clicked one of the icons, it displays the details of the line in vertical order.
Here are my questions:
1. When I've hidden some columns in the interactive report and clicked the icon, it does not display hidden column details. But I want to hide those columns only in the report but displays all details when the icon is clicked. How can I do this?
2. How can I hide the icons?
3. How can I use the icons not to display line details but to direct to an editable page to edit the same details?
Thanks,
Guy

Hello
1. When I've hidden some columns in the interactive report and clicked the icon, it does not display hidden column details. But I want to hide those columns only in the report but displays all details when the icon is clicked. How can I do this?You can create another region, or page that will show your row description by identifier or rowid. You can do this by changing Link Column type to "Link to Custom Target"
2. How can I hide the icons?Go to Interactive Report -> Link Column -> Link Column change to (Exclude Link Column)
3. How can I use the icons not to display line details but to direct to an editable page to edit the same details?The same as answer 1.

How to remove the edit icon in interactive report?

Hi All,
I am using the Customer Tracker 1.1 sample and I would like to remove the edit icon on the Customers list. (Instead I would like the Customer name to be the link itself).
However, nothing I do on the reports properties seems to have any effect on this icon!
I have even remove the A.ID column from the underlying SQL query but I still see the little pencil!
Any ideas?
Regards,
Pawel.

Sorry for the spam!
I just discovered the whole new section in the Interactive Report - Link Column - just needed to exlude the link.

Reorder Interactive Report Attributes

I'm having the silliest problem:
I want to reorder attributes displayed on an interactive report.
On the Page Edit, I click the "Interactive Report" link or my region. I have reordered the attributes, but the rendering doesn't show the update. What am I missing??
Thanks,
Lau
Edited by: Laurence on Mar 20, 2009 9:12 AM

The "magic gear" is the wheel with all the options (Calculations, Highlight etc) that shows uop when you run the report (so you do have to run the page, can't do it from within "APEX Developer").

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,

Interactive Report Performance With Conditional Link

Apex 3.2
I have a interactive report.
The underlying sql would return 127000 rows
The sql is
select
lde.ods_system,
lde.ldekey,
msg.sendersystem,
msg.messagetype,
msg.messageversion,
msg.msgseqnumber,
msg.alternatekey,
msg.crudmarker,
msg.clrbookdate,
msg.clrbookresult,
lower('udf_'||msg.messagetype) button,
lde.ldekey||'.'||msg.alternatekey||'.'||msg.msgseqnumber udm_key
from
clr_esbmessageheader msg,
clr_adm_systemmessage adm,
udm_lde lde
where
adm.ldeid = lde.ldeid and
msg.sendersystem = adm.system and
msg.messagetype = adm.messagetype and
msg.messageversion = adm.messageversion and
msg.receiversystem = 'SCIPS'
order by msg.clrbookdate desc
This report only takes 1 second to display.
I need to add a conditional link to another page, so I used
case
when lower('udf_'||msg.messagetype) = 'udf_distreceipt' then
'<a class="type" href="' || apex_util.prepare_url('f?p='||:APP_ID||':52:'||:APP_SESSION||'::'||:DEBUG||':RIR'||':IR_MSG_KEY,P52_PG:'|| lde.ldekey||'.'|| msg.alternatekey ||'.'|| msg.msgseqnumber ||','|| 50, null, 'SESSION') || '"title="Go to udf_distreceipt Report">udf_distreceipt</a>'
else 'no link' end table_link
The sql seems to be ok, because the report accepted it, but selecting the new column and saving the report takes forever (over 2 mins)
Now the report takes over 2 minutes to run and I still need to add more conditions.
Have I coded the link incorrectly ?
Gus

Hi Gus,
Are you wanting to put the link in the query for a specific reason?
I had to do a similar thing in the past and just completed the column link section for the column.
Why not just have the following in the query:
case
when lower('udf_'||msg.messagetype) = 'udf_distreceipt' then
udf_distreceipt
else null END table_link
Then do the linking using column link section:
You would specify your link text as #TABLE_LINK# which should then be conditionally displayed due to the case statement, then add in all the page item and values to pass across using a normal link column.
Thanks
Paul

Interactive report performance problem over database link - Oracle Gateway

Hello all;
This is regarding a thread Interactive report performance problem over database link that was posted by Samo.
The issue that I am facing is when I use Oracle function like (apex_item.check_box) the query slow down by 45 seconds.
query like this: (due to sensitivity issue, I can not disclose real table name)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,b.col3)
, a.col1
, a.col2
FROM table_one a
, table_two b
WHERE a.col3 = 12345
AND a.col4 = 100
AND b.col5 = a.col5
table_one and table_two are remote tables (non-oracle) which are connected using Oracle Gateway.
Now if I run above queries without apex_item.checkbox function the query return or response is less than a second but if I have apex_item.checkbox then the query run more than 30 seconds. I have resolved the issues by creating a collection but it’s not a good practice.
I would like to get ideas from people how to resolve or speed-up the query?
Any idea how to use sub-factoring for the above scenario? Or others method (creating view or materialized view are not an option).
Thank you.
Shaun S.

Hi Shaun
Okay, I have a million questions (could you tell me if both tables are from the same remote source, it looks like they're possibly not?), but let's just try some things first.
By now you should understand the idea of what I termed 'sub-factoring' in a previous post. This is to do with using the WITH blah AS (SELECT... syntax. Now in most circumstances this 'materialises' the results of the inner select statement. This means that we 'get' the results then do something with them afterwards. It's a handy trick when dealing with remote sites as sometimes you want the remote database to do the work. The reason that I ask you to use the MATERIALIZE hint for testing is just to force this, in 99.99% of cases this can be removed later. Using the WITH statement is also handled differently to inline view like SELECT * FROM (SELECT... but the same result can be mimicked with a NO_MERGE hint.
Looking at your case I would be interested to see what the explain plan and results would be for something like the following two statements (sorry - you're going have to check them, it's late!)
WITH a AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_one),
b AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_two),
sourceqry AS
(SELECT b.col3 x
       , a.col1 y
       , a.col2 z
FROM table_one a
    , table_two b
WHERE a.col3 = 12345
AND   a.col4 = 100
AND   b.col5 = a.col5)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,x), y , z
FROM sourceqry
WITH a AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_one),
b AS
(SELECT /*+ MATERIALIZE */ *
FROM table_two)
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,x), y , z
FROM table_one a
    , table_two b
WHERE a.col3 = 12345
AND   a.col4 = 100
AND   b.col5 = a.col5If the remote tables are at the same site, then you should have the same results. If they aren't you should get the same results but different to the original query.
We aren't being told the real cardinality of the inners select here so the explain plan is distorted (this is normal for queries on remote and especially non-oracle sites). This hinders tuning normally but I don't think this is your problem at all. How many distinct values do you normally get of the column aliased 'x' and how many rows are normally returned in total? Also how are you testing response times, in APEX, SQL Developer, Toad SQLplus etc?
Sorry for all the questions but it helps to answer the question, if I can.
Cheers
Ben
