Interactive reports / export CSV

Hi everybody,
We've got a problem with Apex 4.0.1.00.03 and the interactive reports.
Ours applications are beyond a proxy server in SSL security, and the problem is when we do an export in *.csv with an interactive report with IE (7, 8 or even 9) there is a bug and we've got this message:
Internet Explorer can't download f from appw.xxx.xx.ch
We'haven't this kind of bug or message while we're using Chromium, Firefox, Safari or Opera, only IE.
Does anyone got this kind of architecture and this sort of message or bug with IE and the export ?
Best regards
Chrispi

Bump.
Will it be possible in Apex 4 with Websheets may be?

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,

Download from Interactive Report to csv is not working

Hi there,
when I try to create a download form my interactive report I get an empty csv/pdf.
I just checked with other report pages where the download functionality is working - but the settings seem the same.
In the interactive report properties I've set the check boxes for csv and pdf and it is also displayed properly then on the report page. But when I click on the download (csv or pdf) just an empty document is opened.
What settings can I check now - what might be the reason for the error?
BR & thank you,
Lena

Keerti,
You're using the "Display Condition" of the Interactive Report Region (IRR) to show the report or not.
If you have multiple selects just use a PL/SQL expression as in:
:P1_MULTI_1 IS NOT NULL
AND :P1_MULTI_2 IS NOT NULLNow, if that works for you lets take things a little further... You don't need the second submit button all the time (I'd get rid of it entirely but you seem to really want to hide the region until a selection is made). I did the following:
1. Updated the display condition of the report to use a PL/SQL expression.
2. Set the display condition of the submit button to the opposite of the IRR.
3. Added the item name of the select to the interactive report attributes > Advanced Attributes > Page Items to Submit.
Now the go button can be used for everything.

Dan

Interactive Report Download CSV file Issue (output includes separator BR)

Hi,
I have a Interactive Report and displaying the column values (multiple values in same ROW) as mentioned below.
SQL Query
select deptno,
       function1(empno) empno
from emp
IR Output
Dept       Employee No
10         AAA,BBB,CCC, ...    // - Row 1
20         XXX,YYY,ZZZ, ...    // - Row 2 Now I want to display each employee in a new Line, so modified the SQL Query
Modified SQL Query
select deptno,
       REPLACE(function1(empno),',','<br>') empno
from emp
New IR Output
Dept       Employee No
10         AAA
           BBB
           CCC
           ...    // - Row 1
20         XXX
           YYY
           ZZZ
            ...    // - Row 2 SO, Interactive Report Out put looks fine and that's the way we want.
But the problem is when I download the Report in CSV or in PDF using the Action Menu -> Download..
I am getting break line B R in the output, and also I have two different output in CSV for two different column. [Logic is same for both the columns.]
CSV output1
Employee No
AAA<br>BBB<br>CCC
XXX<br>YYY<br>ZZZI have other columns also with multiple values...for that column, I am getting the following CSV output
CSV output2
City List
1111<br>
2222<br>
3333<br>So, in CSV for one column, I am getting all the values in same line with the seperator B R (Output1)
for other column, I am getting values in new line with the separator B R. (Output2)
Is there a way to FIX this CSV or PDF output for Interactive Report.
I DON'T WANT THE SEPARATOR BR in CSV and also the values should always be in New Line.
I want to have the following Output in CSV
Employee No
AAA
BBB
CCCThanks,
Deepak

Thanks.. Jari.. for the quick response.
I updated my SQL query with Chr(10) and added the code in Page HTML header.
Now the CSV & PDF output are fine..getting each individual value in seperate line (no BR tag)
BUT in the Interactive Report Output, I am now getting first 2 values in 1 line, then next value in next line, and so on..
IR Output
Employee
AAA BBB
CCCCCCC
DDDDDI have few more issues with CSV & PDF output
1. In PDF is there a way to increase the column width, as for some of the columns, the values are getting truncated.
2. For some of the columns in IR Report, I have user BR tag in Column Heading and this also come in CSV output (column heading with BR tag), is there a way to fix this. In PDF Column headings are fine (no BR tag)
and by the way..what exactly this does.

Report export (CSV) results in page not found error

Hello,
I'm having this strange error which i cannot seem to figure out. I have enabled report export through CSV in a report (report attributes). When i click the link in the report i get a page not found error (http 404). At first i thought it was a problem with the http-server. But as other applications (on different databases) don't have this problem i'm thinking it has to do with this apex-instance. Till 2 days ago it did work on this instance too.
I'm really out of ideas, so if anyone can push me in the right direction i would really appreciate!
Apex 3.2

Thanks,

Does this compare to the same as the url for your page?
Has your server changed?
Have you changed the dad file recently?
have you checked the Apache access/error logs right after the 404 error is encountered ?

Interactive Reporting export being truncated

We have a number of queries posted that automatically download large text files. At random times, we will see the file is missing some of the data at the end of the query. Sometimes the data is stopped in the middle of a record. If I manually export the file, the entire contents are exported. Anyone have any experience with this?

Also, given the fact that Interactive Reporting is not a "strategic product*" for Oracle, it's unlikely to have any enhancements or updates like .xlsx would be ;-)
*IR is no longer the preferred dashboard tool, Oracle last year released the Interactive Reporting Translation Workbench for migrating to OBIEE.

Downloading interactive report to CSV

Hi There,
We are on apex 3.1.2.00.02. I have two questions...
1. The interactive reports have a - (dash) in the columns with null. So when we download to excel the dash is still there... the user wants null. I can not find where it's been defined to put this dash in the report. Can someone help me figure out how to make this truly null?
2. When we download the report in a csv format, it automatically opens in Excel (which we want); the tab name in Excel is something like... .csv]daily_bank_definition(1) If we try to rename the tab we get an Excel error about invalid naming format even if the new name is "valid". Is there a way to have the tabname set to what you want? Has anyone else seen this issue and have you been able to get around it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Kristina

Hi Kristina,
To remove the dash from null columns you need to go into the Report Attributes and under Pagination you will see 'Show Null Values as '. Just remove the - from there.
In order to change the tab name to what you want you will have to save the csv file first and remove the [1] from the name. You should then be able to change it.

Extraneous html included in Report Export (csv) for Version 3.1

Hi, I'm not hopeful of anyone being able to resolve my problem, as none of my colleagues are experiencing it, which occurs in my application for all new reports that I have created since the upgrade to 3.1 (from 3.0).
I have many existing reports which utilise the Report Export facility and they still work as they should. However, for any new report created after the upgrade, the file created contains an html tag:
At the top of the first column: div id="report_1562114506105406_catch"
with the corresponding tag at the bottom of the column /div
Initially, I thought that the complexity of the report might have been relevant, but not at all. I have added report regions to existing pages with an SQL query of SELECT sysdate FROM dual
I deleted and restored an earlier version of the application, but the problem recurred. As I said, my colleagues cannot reproduce the issue (happily - for them!) and neither could I when I created a new application (using the same theme - Blue and Tan), but I still experienced the problem with my application working at a colleague's PC. Also, if I activate the Report Export for an existing report, the file created is fine, which seems to indicate the problem relates to the report creation rather than the Report Export facility.
Any suggestions gratefully received,
David

Additional info
Where previously I thought that the number included in the "_reportnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn_catch" was randomly generated, I have now found out that it is actually specified within the "Print URL" on the Print Attributes tab.
This doesn't seem to be any different to the other reports (that were created before the upgrade), but of course until now I had no reason to view the Print Attributes tab, so was unaware of this.

Interactive Reporting & Imported CSV File

I have a query that joins an IR result set w/ a CSV file that I've imported into IR. I would like to import a more current version of that CSV file (I can use the same file name each time) without having to update the query, is that possible? I tried importing a CSV file with the same name as a file that was already imported and all IR did was add a 2 to the end of the filename.
I looked in the Dashboard Studio Optimize Utility and it shows DataModel6 as being the parent of this query; however, I do not see DataModel6 when I'm in the IR Studio.
Thanks.

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

Selecting columns when downloading interactive reports

Hello,
We have a requirement set by Oracle's Corporate Security Architecture Review Board to prevent some columns from displaying when downloading interactive reports to csv format. They should display on the report but not on the csv output.
I vaguely recall that this was possible when interactive reports were first released but I can't find a way to do it in ApEx 4.1? When I go to Print Attributes > Report Columns, I can see the list of columns and they are all set to Show in report = Yes but there is no way to set it to No. It seems that all the columns selected to display on the Interactive Report are automatically included in the Download.
Our applications are hosted on apex.oraclecorp.com, I can provide further details if required.
Thank you for advising if there is a way of excluding columns when downloading.
Kind regards,
Isabelle Fallon

I don't have an answer (other than intercepting the download and writing my own custom handler...ugh!). I just wanted to chime in and say that, I, too, think this is an issue. You should be able to specify, at the column level, what is and isn't available for download. This is provide for Hide, Sort, Filter etc...why not for download???
This causes more problems when considered in light of another APEX (in my opinion) Bug. When you mark a column as Hidden, it isn't "hidden", i.e. display=none. Rather, it is not sent at all to the page. There are case all of the time wherein one does not wish to display the column but, nonetheless, it is needed to perform some other processing, e.g. conditional logic, pass to linked pages, etc. In these cases, you have to use jQuery (or JavaScript) to hide them. Stinks. Moreover, even though they truly+ are hidden after this change, they are included in the download.

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.

APEX Interactive Report - CSV Export Limitations?

Hello,
I have an interactive report generated for some users.
The issue I'm having right now is that the results that the users need is over 100k and the export to csv option caps out at 65,535 rows. Is this a limitation on APEX Interactive Report's side and is there anyway to get around it so we can send 100k records (or more) to the users without them splitting the report many ways?
Thanks in advance.
Ivan

Ivan,
I'm afraid that I can't answer your question. The APEX insiders will have to field that one.
As one that dislikes voluminous reports, have tried swaying your users that you now have this great interface to drill to the data you need versus downloading gobs of data and filling up their hard drives. Ask if there is something else your application can do that they would do with all that data in Excel.

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.

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,
