Dear All,
I developed an interactive report that retrives its data from a package. Now i want to use a group by and use Max function.Since my columns' types are STRING, I cant use Max function.Does anyone know any solution for that?
MAny thanks in advance.

No. Patch releases like 4.2.3 are never likely to include significant changes in functionality. They only provide bug fixes.
I consider this is a major drawback...
Interactive reports follow the 80/20 rule. They satisfy 80% of the requirements of 80% of users 80% of the time. If your requirements fall into any of the remaining 20% categories then you have to build something yourself. APEX is a development tool after all...

Interactive report "group by" endsum is only a page-sum!

Interactive report "group by" endsum (total for a numeric column) is only the sum of the values of the last page! Is this a bug?
You can test on the page: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=1949:1 User/password = apex/apex
You see a sample - as png picture - on the page: http://progkor.inf.elte.hu/a/GroupByEndSum.png

Interactive Report and the mysterious invalid number

Hello,
I have an application that is ready, or so I thought, to be sent to a client to update an existing application. One page in the application has an interactive report that is based on a table in the parsing schema that is joined to the apex_collections view. The report works without issue in my dev environment as well as in the client's test environment. But when a colleague tested the updated app in a different test environment, the report errors out with an ORA-01722: invalid number error.
Needless to say I'm now hesitant about the update to production because I can't find the cause of the issue on my colleague's machine and would hate for this to happen in production. In trying to find the issue in on my colleague's machine, I first tried removing all of the columns (save the id) from the report to see if it was being generated there, no change. Then I started removing the joins and when the join to the apex_collections view was removed the error disappeared. The join was written as:
SELECT *
FROM table tbl
JOIN apex_collections col
   ON tbl.id = col.c001
WHERE col.collection_name = 'MY_COLLECTION';I know that the underlying tables for the apex_collections view store columns c001 .. c050 as VARCHAR2(4000) so I was relying on implicit data conversion to apply the join. Perhaps this is where the error is coming from but that would mean that "extra" rows are being returned as all of the c001 values returned in the session (from dev toolbar) are also valid numbers. As I said before, the problem is only occurring in 1 of 3 apex instances so I tested it in a 4th, and again, there was NO problem. I then realized that my query is potentially dangerous if c001 is used to hold something other than a number in the current session, which is NOT the case in any of the instances, but I tried updating the report to the following to see if it would help:
SELECT *
FROM table tbl
JOIN (
   SELECT TO_NUMBER(c001) AS c001
   FROM apex_collections col
   WHERE collection_name = 'MY_COLLECTION'
) apex_col
   ON apex_col.c001 = tbl.idThat query worked as expected in the dev environment and will be used as the query going forward. However, it failed to fix the problem in the "problem" instance. This seems to be a local issue but I'd like to know for sure. All of the systems are configured as follows:
1. Dev - Oracle 10g R2 XE - ApEx 3.1.2 - Works
2. Test1 - Oracle 10g R2 EE - ApEx 3.1.2 - Works
3. Test2 (colleague) - Oracle 10g R2 XE - ApEx 3.1.2 - Fails
4. Test3 (my localhost) - Oracle 10g R2 XE - ApEx 3.1.2 - Works
5. Prod - Oracle 10g R2 EE - ApEx 3.1.2 - ???
Any ideas?

Dan,
I'm always suspicious of problems that disappear without knowing why - usually they reappear the very moment that an end-user starts using the app :D
You didn't show how you are populating the collection in your original posting, so I'm not clear on exactly what the data would show. What I was thinking was, knowing that collections are all varchar2's, that something like TO_CHAR() had been used in the SQL statement that created the collection.
I don't think that trimming the data would have any effect. If the problem does happen again, I would suggest creating a report based on the collection (basically doing a data dump onto a page) and then see exactly what is in there. If any number contains a comma (or other characters such as currency symbols), then you have to use a number format string to get back to the actual raw number.

Interactive reports grouping issue.

Hi
I have a few interactive reports.
I need to be able to remove the GROUP BY clause on any field when that field is removed from view by using the Select Fields feature in interactive reports.
How can this be achieved?

Adam

Hi!
This is not possible with CRM interactive reporting unless you assign every employee to a manager role in the CRM Org Model (which would contradict it's purpose). Unfortunately, your request would contradict the central authorization principle behind interactive reporting.
Due to this fact and because the expected data volume would also probably be too large to be handled by interactive reporting, I recommend to use BW reporting instead. BW is much better designed for large data volumes, and you do not have the Org Model restrictions as in interactive reporting.

PL/SQL Interactive Report issues - Piped function or Collections

Hi,
I have a report where I either want to limit the return by date or return all. PL/SQL didn't work in the Interactive Report (is it available in 3.2?) then my second idea (2 reports; one for each option) didn't work as you can't have more than one IR on a page. Searching here I found people guiding others to here for collections and here for piped functions.
Ok I finally understood the collections thing (didn't realise that "function_returning_query" would be replaced with your code) but I'm not sure it can be used in my situation? I want it to be dependent upon a LOV on the page with my predicted code like:DECLARE
q VARCHAR2(30000);
BEGIN
q := 'select UPD_ID, PROJECT,DATABASE,REF,DESCRIP,STATUS,PERSON,
TO_CHAR(INS_DATE, ''HH24:MI DD-MON-YY'') AS INS_DATE
from TBL_ENV_LOG';
IF :P5_DAYS != 1337 THEN
q := q || ' where TBL_ENV_LOG.INS_DATE >= TO_TIMESTAMP(SYSDATE - :P5_DAYS)';
END IF;
q := q || ' order by TBL_ENV_LOG.INS_DATE desc';
return(q);
END;So the value of :P5_DAYS would need to go there somehow, can it be passed as a parameter?
Is there another way to do this? Making lots of hidden fields is annoying :/
Edit: I used a CASE statement for a column before, could I use that for entire queries?
Mike

Hi,
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION BLOG_FUNC RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
q VARCHAR2(30000);
BEGIN
q := 'select UPD_ID, PROJECT,DATABASE,REF,DESCRIP,STATUS,PERSON,
TO_CHAR(INS_DATE, ''HH24:MI DD-MON-YY'') AS INS_DATE
from TBL_ENV_LOG';
IF :P5_DAYS != 1337 THEN
q := q || ' where TBL_ENV_LOG.INS_DATE >= TO_TIMESTAMP(SYSDATE -' || :P5_RAD|| ')';
END IF;
q := q || ' order by TBL_ENV_LOG.INS_DATE desc';
return(q);
END;Error at line 8: PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'P5_RAD'
I assume I need to pass parameter values like P5_RAD but how do I relate it to:Select *
From apex_collections
Where collection_name = ‘IR_TEST’;
is it...
Select *
From apex_collections(:P5_RAD)
Where collection_name = ‘IR_TEST’;
??Edit: The IR query changes to BLOG_FUNC(:P5_RAD) right?
Edit 2: Nope that doesn't work :/

Interactive Reports - group by in SQL - download reports doesn't work

Hi,
I have the following SQL as the region source of an interactive report.
select SERVICELEVEL, SUM(CONTRACTVALUE), SUM(DOLLARVALUE), count(SERVICELEVEL) from "ACSPROD"."CONTRACT" where CONTRACTSTATUS='Active' group by SERVICELEVEL
The report shows exactly as expected. I have also integrated BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 with APEX 3.2.0.00.27
Problem 1
The report download doesn't work for any of the formats (CVS/XLS/PDF/RTF). When I rewrite the SQL without the group by clause (not the wanted results), then the report downloads work.
What am I doing wrong?
Problem 2
Irrespective of the above issue - when I add a sum aggregate and download the report (any format) - it doesn't show the summed value.
What am I doing wrong?
Please advise!
Cheers
Mynhardt

Hi Pratadamski ,
I could reproduce this issue at my end. This is a bug. So, I have filed on your behalf (6432429).
When i use tables ( not views) directly in my SQL and use column alias for computed column, it does work fine!
i.e., this query is good with databinding at designtime and runtime:
SELECT ALL trip.PersonID,
COUNT(*) AS Num_Trips
FROM trip
GROUP BY trip.PersonIDThanks & Appreciate your feedback,
Sakthi

Interactive report from PL/SQL function

Hello All,
i have a pl/sql function that dynamically builds up a sql query and returns it as a varchar2.
when i create a new report then i can use this function in the report like
return f_function(param1,param2,v('APP_ID'), v('APP_SESSION'));
and this works fine.
Except i cannot create an interactive report for this function, because it is not allowed !!!!
So how can i use the function in an interactive report ?
Thanks in advance,
Marco

Marco,
Another rather extreme approach would be to go all the way and make your function pipelined (that is not only build but also execute the query) and then select from it in your interactive report.
The disadvantage here would be that any supplementary filtering would act on the result set of the function (not as an addition to the where clause of the original query). But if you can live with that...
The advantage would be that there's less fiddling with column headers.
Regards,
Iulian

Interactive report sort text as number

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible in an Apex interactive report to sort text as number?
For example, a series of text rows:
4
10
2
would sort as:
10
2
4
if it were text. What I would like to see is:
2
4
10
How could this be done?
Thanks.

If your column contains numbers only, you could use TO_NUMBER (column_name) column_name to convert it to a numeric value and it will sort it properly.

Interactive reports - Number formats

Hi Guys,
I am new to Interactive Reports. I have a number column that I want to but a format on and have a total which I also want to format. Any ideas. TO_CHAR means I cannot apply an aggregate.
Thanks

Go to Report Attributes tab, and click on the Edit icon in the Column Attributes area. In Column Definition, you will see Number/Date Format option.
Hope it helps.

Interactive Reports and BI Publisher

Hello all,
i am facing the problem that i have developed some applications and the only report type i used is 'interactive report'. This feature is fantastic! All end users are very happy with the possibilities the reports provide.
Now the problem: we have BI Publisher integrated in APEX as print server. But the output ind PDF and Execl is far from being satisfying. It seems to me that only filters and ordering are sent to the BI Publisher. Every single printed report is a flat table and grouping and calculations are removed.
Is there a way i don't know to create Excel-Downloads (and / or PDF-Downloads) where the structure of the report is the same as in the browser? If not, is it planned to integrate a 'real' print / publish functionality in APEX in the near future?
If you know anything please share your knowledge, because this is the sow-stopper for for my applications. The only work around i found is to use 'normal' reports, but this will leave all the end users very unhappy.
Thanks in advance,
Wolfgang
--- edit
i am using apex 3.2 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1

Wolfang,
You're correct, Interactive Reports do currently not support all the printing features that are available with Classic Reports and Report Queries. This includes groupings, calculations, etc, and you can also not use your custom RTF templates with these reports yet. For APEX 4.0 we are planing to have Interactive Report exports (PDF, Word, Excel, HTML) that reflect what you see on your web page. And also to add support for custom RTF templates.
Regards,
Marc

Difference between Interactive report and ALV Interactive report.

What is the difference between Interactive report and ALV Interactive report.
i think there is no much difference the same Interactive report Events and functionality we will implement with ALV.
Experts guide me.

Hi,
ALV interactive report gives many advantages than interactive report like sorting, summing and getting graphics.
An interactive report generally basic list displayed. User double clicks on any valid line or user selects a line and presses as button on the tool bar. Then the corresponding event is triggered
refer

You can find a interactive ALV report here

Interactive Reporting since EHP3

We've recently upgraded to Ehp3 and some interactive reports are not function returning errors such as the list below when you try and run them (the example below is for open activities report), other reports such as the Campaign effectiveness report work correctly and produce results.
Checks in ORDYWB and /CRMBW/CONFIG_WIZARD appear OK. Presumably as some of the reports are working we shouldn't be too far from getting them all to work - can anyone make some suggestions of what to check next?
Thanks
David
System error: Type conflict during a function module call (field

Messages for DataSource /CRMBW/ACT_STATUSC_TEXT from source system

Hi David,
Type conflict dump at function call is due to difference in data type of a parameter between what system is expecting and what is actually passed. Since you have had an upgrade, please check -
1. Whether the dictionary object causing dump was captured and adjusted using SPDD or not. May be it was missed
2. If a Z type then whether it was changed.
Simply check the data type of the field causing dump. It must be same as what your FM is expecting.

Interactive Reporting Web Client on Apple Mac: Intelligence iServer?

Hi All,
I just installed EPM release 11.1.1.1 along with Interactive Reporting. We were led to believe that Macintosh was supported as long as FireFox was used as a browser. Everything seems to work fine except when I try to create a new Interactive Reporting Web Client document, I get the error message:
Viewing and analysis with Interactive Reporting Web Client is supported in Windows only.
For other platforms, use the Intelligence iServer option: ihtml servlet icon
Contact your system administrator if this option is not available.
I cannot seem to find much information on this "Intelligence iServer". Does this exist and will it let FireFox clients use Interactive Reporting Web Client? Is it an option that can be installed on the server?
Thanks for
any insight.
Randy

Hi,
I have some knowledge about this Intelligence iServer, which I would like to share with you.
In Version 8(HPSu 8.5), Hyperion has 5 servers, which we need to install-
Hyperion Foundation server
Hyperion SQR server
Hyperion SQR iserver
Hyperion Intelligence Server
Hyperion Intelligence iserver
Each server had its own specific work and foundation server was base of all other servers.
Hyperion Intelligence iserver supports the user to access the BQY in ihtml client. It helps user to perform some feature (like drill down-drill up) in html view.
Later Hyperion Came with System 9 and integrated the entire server into a single bundle (internally I don't know what happened).
This EPM 111.1.1 is Hyperion System 9.5 only.
I would like to advice you to log this case to Oracle support (metalink3) and ask more information about this.
It may be that, EPM 11 doesn't support Web Client in Macintosh environment
Thanks & Regards,
Mohit Jain

Gramatical Error in Default Interactive Report

When creating an interactive report, by default the maximum number of rows returned is set to 10,000 and the related message is set to:
"This query returns more then 10,000 rows, please filter your data to ensure complete results."
Two problems with this:
1) the word "then" should be "than"
2) this is a run on sentance.
The correct verbage should be:
"This query returns more than 10,000 rows. Please filter your data to ensure complete results."
Can this be put in to the next patch please?

Doug,
Thanks. I'll file a bug and we'll fix this, but maybe not in the next patch release as it impacts translations.
Now, in all good sport, you should have seen this coming:
-- The word run-on is hyphenated.
-- You misspelled sentence.
-- You misspelled verbiage.
The use of the word "verbiage" can be considered disparaging given the primary meaning ascribed to it in most English dictionaries, where it carries the message of superfluity and excessive wordiness (when used to describe a specific set of words in a specific context as opposed to its use to describe more general styles or manners of language use). For this reason, I always refer to "wording" or "language", not "verbiage", in my constructive criticism of certain aspects of writing, not only because of the pejorative connotation of the latter, but to observe the rule that simpler words will usually do.
(Hope you enjoyed that.)
